So NC Media Production ... having a bad experience at the last college I was at, I was worried about fitting in with the students and settling into the work provided for me. Fortunately they tolerated me and the work was enjoyable.
I came to Stenton Adam Smith wanting to do radio and with these interesting, enjoyable experiences in radio I have just become even more excited on the idea. I am comfortable with the equipment working with the equipment in college and outside college.
But coming on this course had other benefits, being a taster course we looked at every opportunity, every form of media. We worked with Graphics with Graham, we worked video with Pat and Tina, we worked with digital imaging with Lorraine, we worked with ray with photography and of course why I chose this course, I worked on radio with Ricky. I have my favourite subjects, I have my least favourite subjects like any other student but I have enjoyed the experience, I thought I would have loved photography but it wasn’t for me, this course taught me that, so I’m grateful for that lesson.
I really enjoyed Graham’s graphics, the work was very enjoyable and Graham was a great tutor, it was a great experience. Enjoying the subject was a surprise for me because Computers and I don’t get a long, but it was fun.
I get a long with my peers and work well with them, it’s a shame that this class will be splitting up going into HNC/ HND Radio next year but with this creative, sociable course I believe next year’s new friends will be again similar to me.
My outlook on HNC/ HND Radio next: I’m very excited about it; I think I will do well in it. With what I have learnt from this course NC Media Production in radio and media analysis I am confident I can be of interest to my tutors and listeners.
I am glad I have taken this taster course because it just proves (to myself) that I am really wanting to progress into professional radio and now instead of being apprehensive about jumping straight into a 2 year course I am confident and very excited about the course

Is healthy becoming unhealthy?
I want to start off with models, now what is the purpose of models? To sell clothes, to make Britain’s peoples’ clothes look good, good enough to sell to Britain’s people. So why is that the models don’t represent Britain’s people? Now obviously they want to set a good example, so okay don’t make the models 20-30 stones that Britain seems to becoming but that doesn’t mean, you give Britain’s people an unreachable goal of becoming the size of these models.
Nowadays when we look at models, we don’t see a reflection of ourselves in those clothes but rather a skinny “better” looking person wearing the new-in-thing.
Some want to become these air-brushed “people” so they push themselves too hard, they starve themselves striving for “perfection”. But what happens when the unreachable dream is suddenly realised to be exactly that, they punish themselves, life is no longer optimistic and your friends, your family, all of their concerns and worries aren’t valuable anymore, your ambition, your dream is no more.
Exercise. Some families cannot afford to spend hours upon hours outside with their children, having to do couple of jobs, a few jobs, parents can’t afford to spend hours running and dancing about in the park. Instead parents are worried and working towards keeping a roof over their children’s heads. Football practice costs a lot to put their children in, but just set a good example (don’t let them smoke weed).
Diet. We are told go here and you can get all of this for this amount of money, once a week maybe? But constantly having mum or dad in the kitchen doesn’t always work. People get fed up, cooking then becomes a chore, that cheap microwavable meal or cheap frozen dinner is easier to cook. These adverts for healthy eating just seem like snobs and the drive for the children’s good healthy food is lost.
The bar is too high for our Britain, 500 people all fighting over 1 job should tell us that every minute, every pound is valuable and until the government realises that not through choice but through simple math (whether we’re counting minutes or pounds) we are going to keep picking the unhealthy, cheaper option.
An unreachable dream soon becomes an unwanted dream,
Being healthy is becoming unhealthy

A monster's act on man's best friend
I usually just don't serious blog like the ne you are about to read but I needed to get my opinion on this story.
A dog was shot 40 times with shot gun pellets and then left tied up, left to rot in a shallow grave.
What sicko could do such a vile thing, such a friendly animal, that I believe we (as human beings) should take care of. And then I read these horrible, nasty stories that we were created by disgusting monsters. What is punishment for such an awful crime? One year in prison! ... oh and a fine that could go up to £40,000, what a joke!
The look on that poor dog’s face in these pictures nothing but fear, will it be able to trust a human being again? It was just so depressing. We are told the dog is on the mend but that dog will never be the same, will one year of a prison sentence have the same effect? Probably not but I hope so.
These fiends ... these monsters should be considered a menace not only to our neglected animals that should be should be properly taken care of. We as human beings should have more control over that an animal is far away from these creatures that could either be that “person” you pass on the street or even one your neighbours. If these monsters can do such sickening things to defenceless animal who says they can’t do similar acts to you or your loved ones.

How on the floor by jlo ft pitbull is an awful example
Okay this Jlo song here are the problems with the song:
Ok first of all animals shouldn't be allowed in night clubs to tear up the floor, they would wee and crap everywhere(not ideal).
Drinking on the dance floor is usually a bad idea, you dancing, jumping about you could spill your drink on someone,
Grabbing somebody to take them on the floor unless your a gypsy this is very much frowned upon,
Criminals should not be killing anything or anyone on the floor,
Stealing whether it's quick or not is a bad idea
and why is the French word for the "several" times is beyond me. Being sick or even dying on the floor would you get chucked out ...
Oh yeah and pitbull is in it
interested in this, then go ahead, please just go on my Facebook page "confused and bored" best describing the creator of this page MOI, so check it out!

School history, history
A journal written by a Fifer, educated at the universities of St Andrews and Edinburgh, Nimmo taught at Fortrose Academy, near Inverness, before becoming rector at Inverness Academy.
In 1804, he was involved in carrying out experiments to try and record temperatures deep below the surface of Loch Ness.
Nimmo gave up teaching in 1811 to become an engineer.
Thomas Telford, the famous Scots engineer and architect of the Caledonian Canal, asked him to carry out survey work for the Commission for the Bogs of Ireland.
Nimmo died in Dublin in 1832.
In Alexander Nimmo’s journal we can read about going around Inverness-shire and around the Highlands whilst the massive changes were going on.
The highland clearances started in the late 18th century and continued into the early 19th century, so this journal is very appropriate to be used in high schools up and down the country.
With the highland clearances and migration being a major part in history subject in Scotland and all being witnessed by the author Alexander Nimmo and recorded in this journal. Copies across Scotland should be distributed and used as a mass benefit instead of it being a neglected and yet a very important piece of Scottish history.

Does a stadium really have soul?
Hearts have been met with the decsion either to plough more money into a sinking ship that is Tynecastle or to move on with the times and bulit a new larger, updated build.
Tynecastle has been with the Heart of Midloathian for 125 years where understandably they experinced the highs and lows like Romanov coming to the club, I'm going to let you decide what catergory he fits into.
But with a such a historic stadium full of memories and success with Hearts being the team that they are, Tynecastle is old and and to invest around 20 million pounds into one stand should be a sign to the deluded Tynecastle campaigners.
Hearts have the oppurtunity of to built a new stadium and this may only be rumours but there is a lot of talk with them sharing stadiums with Scotland rugby club. What a oppurtunity! Now we shouldn't always look at the awful state Motherwell and Gretna's shared stadium when looking to go into these deals. It's a brilliant oppurtunity and just to have the pride of sharing stadiums with the national side would be incredible. In my opinion Tynecastle is finished and so should the campaigner's attempts. Move on, Tynncastle might have a soul but it's the fans that create that, the fans that will carry that on wherever they end up.

What is the difference between this and the nosey neighbour tweeking the blinds?
A spotring icon rediculed, a major example that has inspired the world and mocked. Affairs happen all the time, but through hard work and dedication that created such a magnificent career Mr Ryan Giggs has turned into a role model. What that basically means is: he is no longer human, he is no longer allowed to get drunk with his mat, he’s no longer allowed to make mistakes.
What was revealed at the house of commons (a place of politics) was a mistake. I’m not one to give advice to such an icon but if he has fallen out of love with his wife then he should have split up with her because no longer is it his problem but now his family’s.
Now the house of commons (a place of politics) decides how we live, making major decisions that influences every person in the United Kingdom, so why are they discussing social gossip. Why was that distracted mp talking about twitter, the law is the law and revealing on English national televison was breaking it. Now with sites like the one you are reading right now had already revealed the star’s identy, the English media show not had braodcasted this. In case you aren’t aware the injuction was ruled over Scotland so the Scottish Herald (although sneaky) were allowed to reveal the man’s name.
Not only that but let’s look at it from Imogen Thomas’ angle, why did she do it? Out of spite? Did get media coverage? Because now I am noticing her name is getting taken away further and further from the scandal, a scandal that should nopt be discussed by our responsible mps at their work place, instead they should be sorting the wide variety of crime or maybe preparing for the damages that would have been caused due yesterday’s weather here and across the pond.
It is none of our business what people get up to after hours, Ryan Giggs is a footballer, I watch him play football. What is the difference between this and the nosey neighbour tweeking the blinds?

the computing generation
Facebook
. Have you made friends from it?
I haven't made friends over Facebook I believe it can help friendships and make a lot of progress on possible relationships. It helps you in awkward situations, that you want to deal with
. How do you feel about people making friends over it?
I think it’s wrong, of course you can see you can see friend request’s mutual friends to you and assume that person requesting permission to go on your secured page (if you have been smart enough to have secured your work).
. How do you feel about your photos being broadcasted around the world?
I believe my photographs are secured but not 100% sure. I am not vulnerable to any creepy people wanting to perv over my photographs. But if I had a child on in it (Facebook is very popular with the young ones) I would be very unhappy.
. Does it annoy you reading up non-valuable statuses? For example what you’re having for dinner
I hate it, I go on Facebook out of boredom and want to read about how my friends and the Facebook friends (friends I spoke to for about five minutes one drunken night or someone I haven’t spoken to since I left high school). I don’t go on to read pointless music lyrics or that they just had cheesy pasta for dinner.
. Do you like typing up everything that you’re doing?
No, I just attempt to type out funny stasuses or important news about myself they don’t need to know the last time I went to the toilet or that I am about to go to bed
Would you pay for the service?
No way, infact it would probably do me favour, less pointless distractions that way
Are there anything similar to this coming through?
Of course Twitter if they made it easier for me to understand then maybe I would consider but I would the same problem before but with boring statuses except this time it would just be boring, celebrity tweets. Blogger could come close to it but it would just be the fact you write a lot more, people would treat it like a broadcasting diary. I think bebo has had it’s time at the top and is now old news.
Online phases: The internet is perfect for influencing and manipulating customers with a time consuming phase. Habbo came into my mind automatically, the amount of money I must have wasted. It was basically making a cartoon version of yourself, an avatar and basically mingling with thousands of others. Here's the money making part, if you want to chat to someone in private, like have a gossip with someone from school or chat to have you haven't seen for a while you have to take them to your room. Now to make your room good andf impress your friends you have to pay £2.50 for credits that young people like me where minipulated to do.
Online gaming
. Do you think this replaces real social interaction?
I do, because your focussing on a game and the only time you socialise with your team mates it about the game. In real life situations like at college you have breaks where
. Why do you think it is addictive? Like meeting friends down at the pub and you are persuaded by them do you think this the same using chat?
. Is it just seen as a second life for these addicts when really it is just escapism from their own?
“With recent mishaps with bank details a public information going walk-abouts can we really trust them?
Watching a part of a chat show the host and two other guests were blaming the third guest (a representative of video games) for gun crime in this country other violent acts and basically most of today’s problems on gaming. Is it fair to blame one influence? You blame neglectful parenting, the negative media (you have to kill someone to be recognised nationally) the violent movies that is provided by well respected adults or basically just human nature in general, our nature of greed (to want more) or aggression (when we get angry and want to break something). Just look at our violent history did they all have the “violent, evil” consoles we have today?”

The Swinging Nowties
Hello this is James and today I will be playing some amazing tracks from Dean to Michael be presenting THE SWINGING NOWTIES as from the title you have can already assumed I will be talking about swing, but with modern dance and overrated pop I want to prove to you that swing is still with us and with these great tracks, either getting repeated or replayed they always will be.
A good example of classic swing getting repeated is the next one, this is my favourite version, this is Dean Martin Sway.
Dean Martin- Sway-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsgL35RCGcc
A song understandably done by many acts, such as Michael Buble, Pussycat dolls and the new modern musical show that is Glee. Now love it or hate it the hit programme Glee is massive and any song that is sung on the show will be on the charts and played over mainstream radio. Sway is one of my favourite songs and is the perfect start to the show. A great song followed by a brilliant new act.
Probably my favourite modern day swing act, an act that is very much alive in my household and after this in yours too. This is the excellent and in my eyes underestimated musician Leon Jackson. Just in case you somehow haven’t heard or can’t remember the young Scottish sensation Leon Jackson I’ll tell you about him: Leon Jackson won the young target audience nationally viewed competition x-factor back in 2007 with his soon to be Christmas number one “when you believe.” Although very talented being born in 1988, now 23 so young and good looking the young girls across the country went crazy over him, so more attention, but his music is why I picked this artist in my swing selection. To prove to you how good the gentleman from Stirling I had to pick this song, here is Leon Jackson with Creative, enjoy.
Leon Jackson- Creative
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QWwUyUPLr0
Another heart throb, don’t worry there isn’t a routine this time he’s Canadian. It’s just a coincidence that these musicians are all handsome. But enough about their looks I’m getting jealous. Now for a man with such a career he is young at thirty five but to make such a he needs to create a very impressive fan base. A good way to win them over fans would be his concerts that are well known for being incredible. A big part to this is that Michael manages to create a friendly, interactive environment. A very memorable moment as a viewer is when Michael Buble was convinced by a mum to bring her son on stage at one of his concerts. He said “what the hey! Bring the kid up and we’ll sing together.” The kid belted out some power singing and blew Michael and the crowd away. The boy got excited and they sang it again and the crowd went wild. A memorable not only for me as the viewer but the boy, that’ll stay with him forever, a bit like you and this show, this my farewell I hope you have enjoyed the show but I’m leaving you with in my view Michael Buble’s song here Michael Buble with me and Mrs Jones

Dunfermline Athletic open day
We have contreversial mascots and a brand new SPL side so the excitement for the open day was good.
I managed to catch a lot of the players at the Dunfermline Athletic open day advertised by Dunfermline's local paper and the local, well known radio station. As expected Dunfermline Athletic just getting promoted up to Scottish Premier league the atmosphere was great and the weather eventually cleared up to a brilliant, annual occasion.
Thankfully for the new thriving journalist they were happy to tell me how they felt to be going up to the best division in Scotland, the SPL:
As mentioned before the weather was typical Scottish summer weather, raining. So like the rest of the fans I went out in the bad weather proving our dedication as fans but with all honesty bad weather wasn't the only knock to Dunfermline Athletic Football Club proving the fans' dedication but what does it mean to the players?:
But what does Dunfermline Athletic Football Club mean to the fans? Can a sport influence and change peoples' lives? How important is it for their club to playing the best teams in Scotland?:
But how does the club affect the players? Surely winning every game at home in front of their dedicated, loyal fans would help their confidence and with the manager's faith and trust and hard working staff and well thought out tactics this should help the player's ability, but how do the players themselves feel about how their progression of ability due the club?:

Surely winning every game at home in front of their dedicated, loyal fans would help their confidence and with the manager's faith and trust and hard working staff and well thought out tactics this should help the player's ability, but how do the players themselves feel about how their progression of ability due the club?:

My day at the BBQ
I am a man, yesterday I became a man, yes that's right I looked after the barbeque. I flipped a burger and pushed round the sausages, ok I had a purple shirt on but I made up for it because I pretended to know what I was doing at the barbeque.

Yeah that’s right that’s the song, I now deserve :D
We even cooked bacon the barbeque, was it cooked right? Well it remained white and pink but it had brown lines going through it, so yeah we’ll go with that but I didn’t eat one.
Basically I struggled on throughout the day not eating and was filled up after one burger and cider :D
Then we left and went for the hike to Templehall, I’m not joking it was a hike. People collapsed, I started crying, it just got too much for me, that near mile walk just got too much for me.
And after all of this I asked myself why didn’t we just take the bus?
I’m over the ordeal, though one person has got long term problems from it … sun stroke but we’ll see how she copes.
This was our BBQ, I don’t know if I can look at a burger the same.

What a western weekend!
what a Western weekend! A royal international weekend and Bin ladin the force of evil died and we all got Friday and Monday off what day, what a day to be British.
The spitfires were out again ... for the royal wedding, yeah that's right I actually watched it. We had a party, my mum put up a quite a good table full of food. Imagine your mum goes "I have got you crackers" you can imagine my excitement and then to be crushed ... there was no cheese, this was me. She had salmon mousse and paté I didn't know what to do?! So instead I just went hungry.
Oh and we laughed at that demon child, with my friend going "not even a sniper would take her out"
Oh and a wee bit gossip on Monday morning, I work in a corner shop where all the converstaions revolve around the weather or whether or not we're happy (that on a Monday morning is usually negative) so the death to all the routes of all evil cheered us up and people over facebook finally had something interesting instead of their favourite song's lyrics but so many jokes :-s
And as a nation we were allowed to get drunk on a Thursday night without any consequences unless you were flying that spitfire, can you imagine if that flight went wrong :-s
oh and it was Lily Allen's birthday ... just saying
What can i say it was a very Western weekend
