  What can i say about Ian Ross, simply One of the nicest guy you'll ever meet and for me i had a lucky opportunity to do Work Experience at 7 News Sydney last year which was one of the best experiences ive ever had. What contributed to that was the personality everyone there had especially Ian who i spoke to alot, he would ask me everyday for the 5 days i was there to come to his office and have chat like what i did today, what my goals are and alot more.

  I have watched him present 7 News Sydney since he began in 2003 and i would have to say he truly one of the most experienced and the best in the industry and it's so sad to see him go - You will truly be missed Ian! Good luck with everything to you and your family!

  Good luck... Roscoe!

  THANKSGIVING 09! +++ Being Thankful! +++ PHOTO's - NY Thanksgiving Parade!

  THANKSGIVING 2009!

  Thanksgiving Day Kicks Off With Parades Around the US!

  NEW YORK - Giant balloons, floats, marching bands and clowns with confetti brought smiles to thousands of revelers Thursday eager to catch a glimpse of a parade as steeped in Thanksgiving Day tradition as turkey and pumpkin pie.

  Thousands lined the streets of Manhattan for the 83rd annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, while crowds gathered nationwide for parades in cities such as Detroit and Philadelphia.

  Katie Stam, Miss America 2009, waved to crowds from a Statue of Liberty float she shared with Meb Keflezighi, the first American in 11 years to win the New York City Marathon.

  Shailesh Dighe and his family came to the fabled New York City parade to snap pictures of celebrities including rapper Jay Sean and singer-actress Keke Palmer. Despite the crowds, Dighe said the parade is "totally worth it."

  "When you watch it on TV, you don't get that feeling," said Dighe, who splits his time between Manhattan and Princeton, N.J.

  For the first time, the parade route bypassed Broadway, which cuts a diagonal slice through Manhattan, as it made its way south from the Upper West Side to the finish at Macy's flagship store in Herald Square.

  The new route traverses the grid of the city's streets and avenues, includes turns around five corners, and is slightly longer than in previous years.

  Johanna Castillo, 38, of Guttenberg, N.J., said the new route seemed to better accommodate the crowds.

  "I was very blessed to get here at the time I did and find a spot" a half-hour before parade time, said Castillo, who arrived with her two children.

  Elsewhere, thousands gathered in Detroit for the 83rd annual America's Thanksgiving Parade. The country's longest-run Thanksgiving Day parade is being held in Philadelphia for its 90th year.

  I know i not a full American but i do have American heritage in me, Thanksgiving kind of captivates me in many ways. When a whole nation stops to say Thanks for everything going in their life is just great, it's amazing to see when so many volunteers go out their to make sure everyone is cared for on this day by taking time of their holiday to prepare a meal for those less fortunate also When families come together to do their prayers and be thankful for what they have and ofcourse the amazing Parades most noticeably the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York which judging by those pictures looks just Spectacular, i would love to experience watching that parade live one day.

  So whatever you have in your life just be thankful because their is always people less fortunate than you.

  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

  IT'S A WRAP: After 25 years, Oprah quits Talk Show! (A TRIBUTE)

  OPRAH PULLS THE PLUG ON HER TALK SHOW!

  ____________________________________________________________________________

  

  IT'S A WRAP: After over 20 years of being the hightest rated talk show - Chat show queen Oprah Winfrey to end iconic talk show!

  Talk show giant Oprah Winfrey has announced she will quit her show after its 25th season.

  The news, confirmed by Winfrey's production company Harpo, comes as speculation mounts the host will start a new talk show on her new cable network OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network.

  Winfrey will concentrate exclusively on her cable channel when the talk show wraps up in 2011.

  Harpo said Winfrey will give more details about her decision live on the The Oprah Winfrey Show on Friday.

  OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) is expected to premiere on cable in January 2011, the newspaper said.

  Winfrey started her broadcasting career in Nashville, Tennessee, and Baltimore, Maryland, before relocating to Chicago in 1984 to host WLS-TV's morning talk show AM Chicago.

  That show was renamed The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1985.

  A year later, Winfrey established Harpo and her talk show went into syndication. In 1990, Winfrey opened Harpo Studios in Chicago's West Loop neighbourhood.
