How are you able to place a site (like youtube) on a Y/A?

I have seen this time and again- I am NOT computer savvy-
In addition, how can you put a song on your 360-
EXAMPLE: I want to put the song "It's Amazing" by Aerosmith on my site, as it is my song of Survival. Any help would be appreciated. REMEMBER: NOT COMPUTER SAVVY!
Thanks in advance!! :-)


Girl, I am the YouTube "Queen" LOL

All my blogs are music videos!

Unfortunately, my instructional abilities are limited....but, I'll try to explain.

1) Go to youtube
2) Type in song
3) When video begins, go up to the URL and highlight then copy
4) Go back to your question or answer and simply paste.

For the 360...

Repeat the first two steps above. Then look to the right of the video and you'll see the embedded code or URL...just copy the entire code and go to your 360. Now, click on blog (trying to think) and then click on "Compose Blog Entry" then you should see a blank "page" appear. Simply paste your copied code on that page and click preview to make sure it appears as it should. If it does, click save. That should do it.

Did I not warn you about my instructional abilities? LOL

Good luck.....you'll get it! ;)

ETA: It's easier if while watching the video to look to your right where it says, "more about this video" and click on the "more" then the shorter URL appears....just copy that (and forget the embed part) then paste it on your blog page.

Anyone in this section biology-savvy?

I would ask this in the biology section, but no one is giving any answers there. But what I'm curious of is how life became so intricate; in other words, where did mammals, reptiles, rodents, insects, etc., come from? I understand that evolution and natural selection is the reason why animals are the way they are today, but I do not understand how so many species emerged from diminutive cells. And what I'm really perplexed about is where mammals come from, since they weren't on the earth(please correct me if I'm wrong) when reptiles ruled the earth. Could someone educate me of where all these life forms come from? Again, I know evolution caused life to continue to process and natural selection is basically a survival game, but I just cannot fathom how cells became so many species. Were there different cells that replicated or something? Someone please help ... I've been doing research and have not been too successful.
I don't care about creationism.


Ok...think about how long animals have been evolving; Billions of years!

The basic timeline is a 4.5 billion year old Earth, with (very approximate) dates:

3.8 billion years of simple cells (prokaryotes),
3 billion years of photosynthesis,
2 billion years of complex cells (eukaryotes),
1 billion years of multicellular life,
600 million years of simple animals,
570 million years of arthropods (ancestors of insects, arachnids and crustaceans),
550 million years of complex animals,
500 million years of fish and proto-amphibians,
475 million years of land plants,
400 million years of insects and seeds,
360 million years of amphibians,
300 million years of reptiles,
200 million years of mammals,
150 million years of birds,
130 million years of flowers,
65 million years since the non-avian dinosaurs died out,
2.5 million years since the appearance of the genus Homo,
200,000 years since humans started looking like they do today,
25,000 years since Neanderthals died out.

If you're lucky you could live 100 years, right? To put it into perspective, think about how long it feels like you've been living (a fraction of that im sure). Using 100 years as a lifetime (i know thats not an accurate expectancy for a life-time but I'm trying to make it simple), life has been evolving for 30,000,000 lifetimes. That's a long time if you think about it. Plenty of time for evolution.

As Barak says 'Gaza is NOT reality TV', what else is 'NOT reality TV'? Does reality TV REALLY stage-manage ???

See http://www.jpost.com

Talkbacks for this article: 10


The cease-fire with Hamas in the Gaza Strip is a temporary reality, Defense Minister Ehud Barak implied late Monday night

"Believe me," he said, "those who miss Gaza operations needn't worry - they will come."

Nevertheless, speaking at a Labor Faction conference in Jerusalem, the defense minister praised the truce agreement, despite the perceived threat to residents of the South.

"We've never had a reason to regret wars, or military operations embarked upon from a place of strength," he claimed, adding that Israel was "succeeding in complicated tests."

Israel faces great challenges, the defense minister continued, and as such needs experienced leadership.

Comparing his political rivals to contestants in the popular TV show 'Survivor', Barak said that the current situation was not a reality television show where political survival was the imperative, but rather "a ship on stormy seas which needs to be led to safety."

"You can try a new host on a series of 'Survivor' … or a new judge on a talent show

"But when there's a real storm, you take on an experienced captain," he went on.

How far are voters taken in by the merely telegenic pretty boys?

Recall when Tony Blair was a mesmirising youthful frontman?

How @ Barroso? Sarkozy? Miliband?

'All style & no substance' is oft berated - & paradoxically encouraged?

Grey hair was a badge of honour in Bible Proverbs

Is real experience & wisdom now trashed, just cuz wrinkles & baldness & thickening waists aint pretty under TV lights?

R we 'placing values on the worthless, disregarding priceless worth'?

(Classic Len Magee '70s Jesus Revolution theme song, "How Much Do You Think He Is Worth?" - like Garth Hewitt's "Walk In His Shoes" -both canny, very savvy, ordained ministers)

Yes it's reality TV to the max.
If a situation is on TV then the reality of that situation is not just reflected but altered by the experience and exposure.
Things are not just real anymore they are hyper real, a situation I find almost as surreal as this question being placed in the RTV section.OK bored now.

Just tryin' to keep things really, really real like, no disrespect an' all but what is this question doing in the RTV section. Try the brainiacs over in politics or media. 'Cos we're mostly just having a good old fashioned gossip over the cyberfence about the antics of our virtual neighbours on the telly init.

Is this letter to Kerry real?

Senator Kerry,
Nov. 1, 2006

Damn you!!. You are a bumbling idiot. My son, Cory, left the Computer Engineering Program at West Virginia University, a superlative educational
institution, to volunteer to serve in the United States Marine Corps. He made it to Recon in less than one year, completing over a dozen schools, finishing with top scores in every single one of them. Cory, along with every Recon Marine, was/is a brilliant young man. They all volunteered - there is no draft as there was when you were in the Armed Forces. Cory, along with 3 other Recon Marines, died as the result of an IED explosion in May, 2006. These men, along with their peers, are superior in intellect. How dare you dishonor them by your careless words. You are a stupid, self-absorbed, fool.

I am not speaking as a member of any political party - in fact, I support more democrats at this juncture than republicans. But I loathe the disdain you display for my son and those whose magnificent service was given for something they held so dear to their hearts - freedom.

I pray that your political future is doomed. You are a detriment to every democrat with whom you associate. If in deed, your words were, as you say, intended as a joke, then you are heartless. My son's life is certainly more than a joke. He and these almost 3,000 young men and women who have died with him, are much more valued and loved than to be used as pawns in your own petty political pundits.

You were not misunderstood. You were clearly heard and understood by us all. You were on national television. You are utterly disrespectful of our sons and of us, their families. I will work tirelessly to bring you down. You discredit every member of the Armed Forces. Not only are these troops more savvy than ever before in history, so are their commanding officers, many of whom have advanced educational degrees. You, John Kerry, are nothing but scum. Spare us from the further desecration of our troops and the superlative military minds that truly do serve our nation. Remove yourself from the limelight and step down from office, NOW.

VERY sincerely,

Mrs. Danna Swain Palmer, Proud Mom of Fallen Marine,

Cpl. Cory Leonard Palmer, USMC, Recon May 10, 1984 - May 6 - 2006
West Virginia University, School of Computer Engineering 2006, Voluntarily withdrew with excellent grades to serve in the United States MarineCorps, Dec. 13, 2002.

CC: The Honorable Senator Robert Byrd, West Virginia
The Honorable Joseph Biden, Delaware
The Honorable Thomas Carper, Delaware
The Honorable Congressman Mike Castle, Delaware
Commandant Michael Hagee, USMC
Commandant Charles Krulak, USMC, Ret.
West Virginia University, President
"Victory at all cost. Victory in spite of all terror. Victory no matter how long and how hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival"
Winston Churchill---May 13, 1940

GOD BLESS AMERICA !


What a great letter. Mrs. Palmer said it all and in a very dignified way. After reading it, I checked at www.snopes.com to see if it was real, but couldn't find anything under politics, military or John Kerry about it. I'm guessing that means that it's very real. If that's the case, kudos to Mrs. Palmer. She handled the whole situation wonderfully. John Kerry is a disgrace to America. He should be ashamed and not trying to cover his tracks. I can only hope that more people stand up the way Mrs. Palmer has and make their voices heard.

Why isn't humankind preparing for the next ice age?

Science shows that global warming is correlated with high levels of CO2 in the air. And that high levels of CO2 in the air was common before an ice age. With that evidence, I think it is reasonable to assume that global warming will lead to an imminent ice age. Why are we struggling to slow down global warming but not preparing ourselves to survive the next ice age? If we are preparing ourselves, what are we doing?
This will be the first ice age that modern, technology-savvy humankind will have experienced. Why aren't we using science to plan our survival now while we have the chance?
I'm not some doomsday freak - I'm just very common-sense. It's makes perfect sense to me to stop freaking out about global warming and start planning on what we are going to do once the world starts freezing.


Exactly - I think you are on to something here. The Vostok ice cores showed that the temps rapidly drop while co2 continues to increase.

This is the situation that we are in right now! There hasn't been any year warmer than 1998, in fact there's been some cooling since then, and the co2 levels continue to increase.

This is exactly what happens before every ice age. We should prepare now for the next global cooling wave!

  • Bulgarian Romas paid to leave France / English News / News / Today ...

    The immigrants were offered €300 per adult and €100 per child to return home. The French office for immigration and integration handled their transport.

    The operation has been slammed as “costly and unnecessary,” by Jerome Lobao, the president of the ProCom group, which is a part of the Romeurope human rights organization.

    “Many of them said they would return to Bordeaux in ten days,” said Lobao, explaining that a bus return fare from Bulgaria costs around €50.

    ProCom is striving to improve the living conditions of the Roma people throughout Europe. But according to Lobao, administrative red tape is discouraging prospective employers from offering legal employment to Roma immigrants, forcing them to work illegally or turn to begging.
