This is my first year in college and I am taking my general and getting my AA in communications with television and involved with our broadcasting show. But can you give me some advice to get ahead even moreCan you give me some advice about becoming a news anchor?
Don't say you want to be an anchor. Start off by saying you want to be a reporter first and learn the trade. We hate when interns come in and say they want to anchor. We roll our eyes and joke about how every kid wants be an anchor. Make sure your degree is in journalism. Get several internships and listen and learn. Be nice to people and go above and beyond. You also have to prepare yourself to work in small market television for the first few years making next to nothing. Start educating yourself on the business of television. Start reading articles and learning the lingo. A great website to start looking at for example would be tvspy.com. Subscribe to shoptalk on this website. These are just some ideas for you. Please be aware the burnout rate for this career is VERY high! Don't let people tell you how great and glamorous this career is. It's got it's good points but it also has several bad points. Believe me. I know. The competition is steep and like about 80% of the people who want this career, by the time you hit age 35 your going to be looking for a different way to make a living. Good luck!Can you give me some advice about becoming a news anchor?
Do some print work for your college newspaper. That way you will have developed some talent besides being a news reader. That's what an anchor is. Someone who belongs to the same trade union as Jay Leno and David Letterman, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artist (AFTRA).
First, learn to be a good reporter. Not a ';journalist';. Follow always the first rule of good reporting:
';If your mother says she loves you, check it out!';.
I'd suggest doing an internship at your local television station. Nothing beats on-the-job training for figuring out if that is really what you want to do, and, more importantly, making contacts and mentors. I wish when I was getting MY AA that someone had advised me of a television or radio internship. I would have been spared money, time and huge effort.

Advice about awesome colors to paint my room?
I have 4 walls in my room. I want to do 2 colors and alternate walls with each color. I really want to do something with brown because I really like coffee and I have some things to hang on the brown walls that are in that color pallete. I was also thinking about doing the other 2 walls a light shade of bright blue. What do you think? What other suggestions do you have? Should I go with a chocolate shade of brownAdvice about awesome colors to paint my room?
My opinion is to paint only 1 wall the odd color.. (the wall your head board in on) and to paint 3 walls a brown. A dk caramel would be very pretty. Browns will compliment most colors well.... so the blues would be great!
Have fun painting and decorating!!Advice about awesome colors to paint my room?
Chocolate brown and a light blue are definetly trendy colors in interior design right now. Alternating colors might make it hard for your eye to focus and will be too much for a room with only 4 walls. I would consider painting the all of the walls chocolate brown, and then do vertical or horizontal stripes with the light blue, whatever width you'd like. It'll definetly bring the two colors together without being too much. Consider looking at Domino or Elle Decor magazines for pictures to mimic.
You should go shopping for something to use as inspiration, that has all the colors you want, like a pillow, rug, or curtains, and use that to paint your wall and as a guide for everything else in your room. My sister has watermelon-themed walls and it came out great! Good luck to you!
Hmm....
Well, I think you should have two walls brown and then the other two sponge paint blue. It would really look cool...My sister did it except with like darker pink and lighter pink. Or you can do 2 brown walls and 2 sponge painted pink walls. Those look really cute together. If you visit a store like Joann's Fabrics or Michael's craft store...you can purchase different colors of fabrics by the yard and drape it along the top of your windows. That would look very cute!!! Good Luck.

How about cream or like an antique white? Brilliant and dark colors have a tendicy to make the room look smaller. Also, brown/coffee is considered a warm color and light blue would be considered a cool color. So I'm not sure if the contrast would work - your colors may appear muddy beside each other. Of course, it's your room and totally up to you, but if it were me I'd at least stay in the warm or cool colors, not both. Cream or antique white would still be in the warm colors.
Good luck!
kool! that is a really interesting idea! if you use a lighter brown, you want a brighter blue, and a chocolate shade would be fine but you would want a bold blue to go with it! IT SHOULD LOOK GREAT! ((:
I think light brite blue and brown is a great scheme. However they are going to fight each other for focus in the room if you alternate them. think about painting the ceiling brown. and/or 1 wall brown. good luck!

Advice about getting vents / air ducts professionally cleaned?
How should I choose a cleaner, what should I look for? How do they actually clean it?Advice about getting vents / air ducts professionally cleaned?
I am not sure if you have this service or not but on the Internet you can find this company called Service Magic and they send you a list of Companies in your area that do the work you are looking for the list also comes with references of others who have used the company so that you get the best type of feedback before you hire. What they do is cut a hole in your vent in the basement and suck out the dirt with a large vacuum. You will be grossed out when you see the mess that are sitting in your vents. Do it, it pays for itself in the long run.
Hope this helpsAdvice about getting vents / air ducts professionally cleaned?
hi.. personally i don't believe in them. u don't see what they actually take out so i won't have it done again.bumble and bumble

I need some advice about my relationship?
I graduated high school last year and my girlfriend is graduating this year. But when we talk now i feel like all she ever thinks about is her last year in high school. I feel like this is more important to her than our relationship. I truly believe this could effect us later on down the road. I love her i've been with her for 3 years and we have been through so much. I don't want to lose her over a phase. Any advice?I need some advice about my relationship?
you only have 4 or 5 years of high school, so if i were you, i wouldn't let it ruin the relationship. if you've been together for 3 years now, things are obviously going strong, so it's not like this could destroy your relationship. i'd let her enjoy it for all it's worth, because it's the last year of high school she'll ever have.I need some advice about my relationship?
it's hard to say when ure just guessing...and now im guessing..
well she ';might'; have a lots of reasons so get so busy abt her last year..
but u know her better. if she really loves u, than she might be ';prefering'; (not literally) her last year over ur relation maybe cause u two are going through a kind of crisis right now..
she might be taking it as her...eumm..window out and source of satisfaction..
and man..3 YEARS!!! that's huge!! i would say talk to her abt it...if i were u..
and boyfriend and i have been together 2 years..
and its happened with me..getting excited abt things apparently and maybe uncounsciously more than our relation..that's because we were going through a lot and needed a break out..and sometimes my break out was fighting with high tension and breaking up..
so man, ure lucky if its only skhool..just talk to her abt it and it'll get fixed :)

Get the Sydney 7 day pass card. It is pretty cheep and gets you in a LOT of things. It also gives you a GREAT book that tells you where everything is. It also tells you whats in the same area so you can spend each day in a new area and get everything done. It saved my husband and I well over 500.00 dollars. Also, it gives you free tanspertain the whole 7 days. That means you take take the train or bus or fairy anytime you want. Rather you are going to a place to use your card or not. Its very nice to have.

I need some advice about wood pellet stoves.?
Need to know how often the stove pipe has to be thoroughly cleaned. One person said at the end of the heating period, the other said every two weeks! Who is right?I need some advice about wood pellet stoves.?
We have heated a 2200 s.f.home with only a pellet stove for 7 years.
We shut it down and vacuum thoroughly inside daily. During heavy use in fall and winter, we vacuum the pipe (from outside) thoroughly once a week.
Even the guy that has to occasionally perform service on ours said that he wished every customer would keep their stove as clean as ours.
This is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to heat, it is very efficient, does a good job, and is economical, too. Ours paid for itself in about the first two years. We bought the big R2D2 type Thelin, with the battery back-up. This is one of the best investments we have made in our home.I need some advice about wood pellet stoves.?
I found this site very helpfull with my diy problem www.diyanswerdirect.com give them a try they worked for me.
Great answer from CAT.
Consider it's like any other tool; appliance; etc. Better maintenance creates a better result, and a longer life time.
Certainly useage factors into cleaning scheduling; but as Cat said, the more often you do the maintenance the less stress on the equipment.. IE: Vehicle Oil changes.
I don't know about brands, and I had one 4 years ago in WA state; that was no larger than a Microwave Oven; that heated a 1000 sq. ft. area just fine. I do know it had an auger type auto feeder; which saved some effort.
The good thing about pellet stove is that they DONT have to be cleaned alot. It's always a good idea to clean at the beginning of every burn season, rather needed or not. Just walk outside every now and again when it's burning and make sure you have good smoke flow coming out of your chimney.

I need some advice about asking a girl out?
I really like this girl and I used to talk to her often because i had alot of classes with her at school. Now the year after she has no classes with me i hardly see her but when i do she always stops and talks to me which makes me feel happy. I want to start to get to know her before i want to ask the question. Is there anything that you suggest me to do or how i should do it. I can't get her out of my mind, she is the most friendliest and beautiful girl i have ever met.I need some advice about asking a girl out?
You should probably start with a cup of coffee, then maybe the latest movie out, but if you just want to get to know her first, then you should make sure to make it seem as non-datey as possible, liking going out for lunch instead of dinner, and seeing an epic instead of a romanic movie.I need some advice about asking a girl out?
DUDE! with the exception of the classes thing this is the exact same thing goin on with me. i hope someone can give us a answer lol
