I've been a neglectful blogger here lately, but I've got good reasons, I swear! I'm still blogging over at the BookBub Blog and on Lady Smut, and also I've been finishing Stolen in Love, the second book in my Love & Lawbreakers series.
As I finished, revised, and edited this draft, I've thought a lot about how big a part music plays in my writing. I've always used music as inspiration–for my daydreams as a kid, and now as a writer–but the more I write, the more I consciously find and listen to songs that take me further into a story. I don't often listen while I write–too distracting–but more in those between moments, when I'm in my car or out walking and want to become more excited about the story…and thus come up with fun plot twists, bits of dialogue or character traits. (This is the most enjoyable part of writing fiction, I think.)
Sometimes these inspirational songs make sense to others, because of the lyrical content or emotion of the song. I listened to many Halloween-themed songs while I wrote Crazy, Sexy, Ghoulish, including a lot of the soundtrack to The Nightmare Before Christmas. For Jaded, Bearded, Wolfish, the third in that series, I was all about "Werewolves of London." (Of course. It's the most well-known song with howling, right? If there are others, please post below.) Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" brought me into the emotions of Nora and Brendan in Scary, Lovesick, Foolish when they are (maybe) breaking up and feeling raw in their anger, hurt, and passion towards each other.
And I've daydreamed so many of my stories to Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love." Maybe because it's a fantastic song, maybe because so many of my stories have the opposites-attract, forbidden love vibe this song captures for me. (Though it's probably about a hundred times sillier when it comes out of my pen.)
It's not just the lyrics for me, though. Sometimes it's the very sound–or even the accent of the singer. When I hear the Pet Shop Boys' cover of "You Were Always on My Mind," I can't help but think of Graffiti in Love, because it became its theme song as I wrote it, not only because the sounds of that number brought out certain emotions in me, but because the lyrics were sung in a British accent, like the hero in that book had.
Some of my musical choices may be completely inexplicable to others. For my paranormal novella in the Under Your Spell collection, I put on Dolly Parton's "9 to 5." Though I wasn't writing about a downtrodden worker, the upbeat quality to that underdog anthem really reminded me of my main character in that story, who's driven to find the devil to reverse her bad luck.
So what did I listen to while writing Stolen in Love? Three things:
1.) Adele's "Water Under the Bridge." This song. THIS song. They've been playing it on the radio so much the past few months, but for me, it's been a boon because the lyrics and emotions are so much of what my heroine, Kim, experiences when she falls for Scott, a police officer. She's a kleptomaniac with a criminal record, and he's trying to uphold the law. They shouldn't want each other, but they do. Especially with Scott, his logical mind says he should respond to her one way, but his body (and heart) feel another way entirely. I imagine Kim singing this song to him, word for word.
2.) The Pretenders. When I finished Graffiti in Love and first started daydreaming about Kim's story, the music of the Pretenders really reminded me of her character. Their songs have this mixture of toughness and vulnerability I love and that I tried to capture with Kim. I especially love "Back on the Chain Gang," "Brass in Pocket," and the sweetness of "2000 Miles."
3.) Josh Ritter's "Where the Night Goes." My friend Jen of Heartforms introduced me to Josh Ritter, and I've been loving his music, which sounds like a blend of folk and pop to my ears. This song is probably my oddest choice, because the lyrics don't exactly match the story of Stolen in Love (with a slight exception of the "tough girl" part, though the rest of the line doesn't fit). But something about this song swept me away and got me in the headspace for finishing the novel.
Maybe I just really, really like these songs. And when you're listening to something you love, that's the best kind of inspiration for whatever you're creating.
What music have you been listening to? I love getting recommendations for songs or new artists, so if you have any, drop them in the comments! I'll be needing a new song for the novella I'm starting this month…
Psst! Speaking of Stolen in Love, it's currently on preorder for only .99! The book releases Saturday, May 13th, and after then the price will go up. So if second-chance romantic suspense is your thing, grab it now for just under a dollar!

Asura's insistence on understanding in order to prevent fear is very reminiscent of Kid's need to fix everything. Yet Shinigami has never called his son out on any such similarities to the man he describes as having never been calm unless he could solve a problem. Makes me wonder just how Kid will fare if he's to take Shinigami's place. Neither character seems to recognise that there is a limit to how far the world can be 'fixed', whether you're a god or not. I got the impression from Shinigami that he took it rather personally that Asura betrayed his partner, that he ate him.
Still the title means nothing to me. The past tense in 'had' is confusing, and there was nothing significant about either of the Death Scythes present during the fight. The subtitle is clear, though. The bright blue sky and clouds is a fun contrast to the approaching darkness the anime's created.

overall a good episode that made me go wtf right before the end... For the suprise factor, advance in history, coolness of asura, shimigami and excalibur, and the comic relief from the god Black Star I think this was an overall great episode.

Arachne got pwnt. LOL.
And poor Shinigami-sama.
I saw both deaths coming from a mile away, though. One the Kishin started talking about laws and constraining yourself, I KNEW he was gonna take Kidd & Co. hostage. I had no idea it would happen so fast, though.
Arachne's death... well, how could you NOT know? I mean, the Kishin is fearful of everything, and kills whatever he fears. In other words, I knew his attachment to Arachne would eventually kill her, it was just a matter of time. I knew she would get killed by Asura in due time.

That's a question. Shinigami acted surprised that Asura reckoned he could kill him, then stated he would kill the Kishin "perfectly", to Spirit's unease. And yet neither appeared to be doing one another much damage up until the point Shinigami put himself between Kid, the others, and Asura's attack.
Even the Soul Resonance attack only resulted in cutting off Asura's arm, but Shinigami didn't react as though it was a serious failure, perhaps confident that he had more up his proverbial sleeve. Or perhaps over-confident of his own skills.

That would do nothing but re-establish the status quo from before Medusa freed the Kishin. With Asura and Death bound to one place, essentially nothing would have changed and the threats from that situation would still be there. I think Bones will do something far more permanent to Asura, and that Kid will not be tied to Death City.
(I also think that having Kid bound to the city would defeat Shinigami's purpose in having an heir in the first place, but that's another matter...)

But it would be so dramatically neat. Recurring destiny, life goes in a circle and all that.
Though I don't want such a future for Kid, it's pretty sad. Almost like a prison, even if it's a nice one and full of friends.
I'm also intrigued by the whole idea of semi-mortal gods who produce heirs. I mean, look at it from the technical point of view. If there is only one family line of Death (as Shinigami-sama seems to be one and only Death God), where did Kid's mother come from? They weren't doing it like Egyptian rulers and marrying their own sisters, I guess. So, how then? Is Kid half-mortal? But we've never been told anything like that, and anyway it would mean that Death's blood would get more and more diluted as time goes. It wouldn't work.
What if Kid for some reason cannot produce an heir, or, even simplier, dies before he does? (Poor Kid, why am I always thinking up some tragic story for him?) Will the world be left without Death?
I guess this topic is more fitting for 'general discussion' though...

Director Selvan has decided to go on a hunger strike, the reason being his movie Krishna Leelai being halted at the post production stage with all hopes of its release at the theatres being shattered. The movie Krishna Leelai stars 'Kadhal Solla Vandhen' fame Meghna and hero Jeevan in lead roles and draws a light on the problems of the society.
It is reported that during the post production stage director Selvan was asked to put a stop to all activities from the producer at Ayngaran International due to some unsettled financial problems. Later the director was never notified as to when post production can be resumed. He has been running hither and thither to find the reason for this unfavorable development but to no avail has the director found a satisfactory reply from the producers. As a result he has decided to go on a hunger strike to protest the issue for the movie lying in store for almost 2 years.
Krishna Leelai happens to be a movie of great important for Selvan as all the other actors he has approached for his next movie have assured him to give their dates only after the release of Krishna Leelai.
Will Selvan's strike bring justice?

I've started selling some of my toys & collectibles.
Sea Diver - The Underwater Explorer by Parker Brothers is such a great science based game. A Cartesian Diver toy, one puts the diving bell into the bottle along with the gravel and nautical items and fills with water. Squeezing the bottle causes the diving bell to dive and the hooks on the bottom to open. One tries to land the hooks over a plasic item and releases the pressure on the bottle. As the bell starts rising the hooks on the bottom close and hopefully bring up your item from the deep. Way cool. My game is missing the wire hook used to retrieve items from the bottle, has a rusted-through bottle cap, and has a broken hook on the diving bell. Also, this set came with extra cannons and sword but no sextant or lantern (sigh). I got this toy from a toybox visitor who let it go for a very reasonable price--I've been wanting a copy for years and years--thanks Bob. Item number 240 dated 1973. The instructions are online compliments of Hasbro (which is Ideal, Milton Bradley, and Parker Brothers).
Similar toys were released by Sears under the name Aqua Diver and by Diversion Dynamics under the name Dyna-Diver (pic).
Other nautical toys in my collection include: Twin Navy Code Blinker Lites by Hasbro, Nautics Lab Kit by Logix Enterprises, Sharkie's Diner by Marx, Sub Search and Sunken Treasure games by Parker Brothers, and the Explorer 7 Submarine by Unidac.

Iraqi PM Accuses U.S. Forces of 'Routine' Abuses
In the wake of allegations that U.S. Marines massacred civilians in Haditha, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has reportedly accused U.S. forces of routine violence against innocent Iraqis. Alex Chadwick speaks with New York Times reporter Richard Oppel about more allegations of U.S. abuses and Maliki's increasingly vocal criticism.
ALEX CHADWICK, host:
From the studios of NPR West, this is DAY TO DAY. I'm Alex Chadwick.
MADELEINE BRAND, host:
And I'm Madeleine Brand. Coming up: the deal to get Iran to back away from nuclear arms.
CHADWICK: First, our lead story. In Baghdad and on the front page of today's New York Times, Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki attacks the behavior of U.S. troops in Iraq, saying many disrespect Iraqi people. This follows the renewed stories this week that U.S. Marines may have killed two dozen Iraqi civilians six months ago in the town of Haditha in al-Anbar province, an insurgent stronghold. The Marines are said to have gone on a rampage after a man from their unit was killed by a bomb.
Richard Oppel wrote the story from Baghdad today for the Times, with reaction from the Iraqi government. Richard Oppel, you spoke with the prime minister. How did he seem to you?
Mr. RICHARD OPPEL (Reporter, New York Times): Well, the prime minister spoke with reporters yesterday. And it's interesting because just a couple of days ago, he had been more conciliatory about Haditha and other allegations of alleged killings by U.S. forces of innocent Iraqis. Yesterday's comments were a bit of a change from that, though. He said it's become commonplace, in his view, for American - for the American-led coalition to attack Iraqis or to kill Iraqis just on suspicion that the Iraqis are insurgents or bad guys or whatever. So his comments were definitely stronger than what they'd been just a couple days earlier. He termed this as extremely unacceptable and said this is something that they have to get worked out with the American-led coalition.
CHADWICK: And what accounts for this change in his - in the way that he speaks about this?
Mr. OPPEL: That's not clear. I mean, Maliki himself is a leader the Shiite alliance, and while he was in parliament he was one of the most outspoken Shiites on law and order issues. And among other things, he had advocated the death penalty for anyone who shelters or gives a lot of aid or help to the insurgency. And of course, the insurgency is dominated by Sunnis. Now, however, he's in a position where the government he has - the government he's formed has large participation, not only by Shiites and Kurds, who were their partner in the past government, but also Sunni Arabs and secular Shias. So he's got a broader constituency that he's got to pay attention to and respond to.
CHADWICK: Generally speaking, Richard, are people in Iraq aware of these allegations about this still in dispute incident in Haditha? Are people talking about that? Is it changing the way they feel about the American's presence there?
Mr. OPPEL: I think in Sunni areas it's probably a bigger issue than in Shiite areas, where there may not be nearly as much sympathy for attacks on Sunnis. The Haditha attack and some of the other attacks that have become an issue lately have all been in Sunni areas. As far as what do people in Haditha think of this, I have to - you know, I have to admit that's a difficult thing to gauge. I mean, clearly, clearly people up there are upset, but they, you know, they believe these sorts of attacks are not unique. We sent an Iraqi reporter up there, and, you know, clearly people up there were upset, but it's difficult to get on-the-ground reporting from Haditha.
CHADWICK: Richard Oppel of the New York Times speaking with us from Baghdad. Richard, thank you.
Mr. OPPEL: Alex, thanks.

London DJ-producer Jamie Jones has been riding a wave of massive popularity since emerging on the international EDM scene in the mid-'00s. Few artists in recent years have contributed such a unique signature sound to the often formulaic house and techno forms. Releases like the exuberant 2009 smash hit "Summertime" on the esteemed Crosstown Rebels label catapulted Jones to international stardom via its bouncy, electro-funk low end; elegant synth riffage; and sultry vocals. He would go on to make his mark with other esteemed labels such as Get Physical, Cocoon, and Poker Flat, while making his name known to audiences at top international hot spots from Berlin to Ibiza.

These days, Jones is also known as half of the power duo Hot Natured, with acclaimed American producer Lee Foss. The pair's collaborative work on the Hot Creations imprint has dominated charts throughout 2010. And now Jones will return to the Electric Pickle, where his last Miami performance at the infamous Get Lost WMC party created enough buzz to make this Friday's performance one of 2010's most highly anticipated end-of-year shows.

Briefly: Policy Brief: Key Points about Contraception
Contraception is widely used and accepted in the United States, yet half of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unplanned and many women struggle to afford contraception. As contraception—an issue many thought was long-settled—has again become a topic of policy and political debate, there has been considerable confusion about specific aspects related to coverage and access. And, while the objections are varied, what is often lost in the discussion are some important facts: contraception saves money, improves education and employment prospects, improves the health and wellbeing of women, children and families, and reduces the number of abortions.

Borehamwood, Hertfordshire United Kingdom (PressExposure) March 29, 2011 -- iDeals Solutions announces the capability for large sized deal rooms. These deal rooms are highly functional and organized which make accessing information very easy. The user access process of deal rooms is streamlined to ensure security.
Deal rooms used by iDeals Solutions clients are used for a number of reason. However, all clients share a primary objective. The objective is to keep certain documents secure while sharing the information and data with certain approved individuals. These actions occur the majority of the time for different business transactions. These transactions include auditing and financial transactions.
Many large companies are turning towards using deals rooms as they can hold and organize a great deal of necessary information. Deal rooms can be thought of as organized folders that one may find on their computer. Deal rooms contain and hold data which is pertinent to the business transaction in an organized way. This organization method is in areas similar to file folders.
This organizational method for the data is highly efficient as individuals can search and access these folders for certain information. This saves business workers a great deal of time as one can locate the necessary documents in a timely fashion.
A benefit to organizing the data in this way is that personnel can be provided access to the data and documents individually. This means that some personnel will have access to all the files and information while others will only be able to access certain parts. Each administrator of deal rooms has the authority to establish and monitor user access.
Deal rooms are also especially beneficial for clients who have large amounts of data. Most financial business transactions have large quantities of important data. With iDeals Solutions deal rooms, there is no need to worry about the vast amount of information being stored. The reason is that iDeals Solutions use advanced technology devices that have the capability to store large amounts of information in a safe manner.
The information that is needed to be uploaded to deal rooms is handled by iDeals Solutions. The company maintains integrity and security during this process. This means only certain individuals will have access to the data during the upload process.
iDeals Solutions announces deal rooms which have the capacity to securely store large amounts of data. These files are organized in such a way that they provide an easy search in order to access the necessary information quickly.

Jan. 6, 1916
One of Pleasanton's well known and universally esteemed citizens has gone to his reward. Mr. I. M. Harmon, who has been a great sufferer for many weeks from a serious disease of the stomach, passed away in the evening of the first day of the new year.
Mr. Harmon had been a citizen of Pleasanton and its immediate vicinity for many years, and it is proper to say that in all these years he had never made an enemy or been charged with an unkind or unjust act to any one with whom he ha come in contact. On the contrary the universal testimony of those who have known him most intimately has been to his uprightness and strict integrity. And his dealings with his fellowmen were not only in exact accordance with the recognized rules of honest business, but they were of that kindly character which can spring only from right feelings and right motives.
Mr. Harmon was born in Campbell county, Tennessee, March 10th, 1845, where he grew to young manhood, engaged in such occupations as the farm life of that country offered. When the Civil war rent the country, and that section of it was especially distracted, with neighbor against neighbor and brother against brother, he loyally took the side of the Union and enlisted in Company B, First Tennessee Infantry, August 1, 1861, and served in all the companies of that regiment until mustered out with the rank of corporal Sep. 17, 1864, having served three years, one month and seventeen days.
After his return to his home he continued in the various occupations which had previously employed him and on Jan. 12, 1866, was married to Paralee Josephine Slower. To this union four sons were born, one dying in infancy, and three now living as follows: John F., Wm. R. and Martin L.
In September, 1870, he removed with his family to Missouri, and located near Polo, Caldwell county. There he was made a Mason and has ever been a true and faithful member of that great order.
In February, 1881, he removed to Linn county, Kansas, and for one year lived on the old Povenmire place near what was then Barnard, now Boicourt. From there he moved to the farm of Ed. Bulger were he lived two years. Tiring of being a renter at the end of this time he purchased the farm west of Green Valley school house where he continued to reside until 1894, when he sold his farm and came to Pleasanton where he has remained until death called him.
His wife having died Feb. 13, 1910, on Sep. 5, 1911, he married Rosa E. McCoy, of Worland, Mo., who, with the three sons above mentioned, survives him.
Mr. Harmon had been long been an active and efficient member of the Grand Army of the Republic and he will be greatly missed by the members of the Post, by all of whom he was held in the most affectionate regard.
He had become a member of the Christian church in his early years, and, in keeping with the whole nature of the man, had lived a life consistent with his profession. To assume an obligation was to him to live up to it.
His kindly, genial face will be missed on the streets of Pleasanton, and every one will say as they do, when his name is spoken, "A good man is gone."
The family desire to thank all of those who have shown their kindly sympathy and
desire to help during the long weeks of Mr. Harmon's illness.

The promosheet described this as epic black metal, and since I was unfamiliar with the band I expected some very atmospheric and moody music, possibly relatively slow and laced with keyboards. Just the feeling I got from such a description. So imagine my surprise when Prologus odii kicks it off with a straightforward, harsh and blasting variant of black metal; not what I was expecting. And frankly, to label it with 'epic' just doesn't seem right. But oh well… As I said I was previously unfamiliar with Infernal Angels, and to be perfectly honest I don't listen to all that many Italian black acts 'cause I'm pretty unfamiliar with their scene as a whole.
What's presented here feels like a mishmash of all sorts of influences, ranging from classic Norwegian and Swedish black metal acts to obscure death metal. It has a certain violent, in your face approach that gets me thinking of Semargl, a blistering straightforwardness that brings Kult Ov Azazel to mind, but also an old school melodic touch that feels somewhat akin to Ragnarok. Some guitar lines and riffing bring Dark Funeral and whatnot to mind, and it feels like I could go on and on with the name dropping. Unfortunately it's because it feels like I've already heard it all before. There's no sense arguing their competence and such, but it's relatively stale in many aspects. Not saying an album is necessarily uninteresting because of lack of inventiveness, familiarity has a certain charm as well.
Overall it's quite melodic and the riffing is filled to the brim with melodic guitar lines. It's very competent, but as I said they don't exactly reinvent the wheel. Tempo-wise it only occasionally reaches the blazing speeds, but is mostly set in a somewhat faster mid-tempo. I guess a lot of the drumming qualifies as blasting, but with today's ultra-fast drummers trying to top each other off all the time Infernal Angels just don't come off as incredibly fast. They have a couple of moments that are exceptional and extremely hard-hitting; a few of the guitar lines are pure golden. The vocals (just as the riffing at times) flirt heavily with death metal, and despite what variation of scream and growl that's thrown in the mix it's all very well delivered. Midwinter blood is a very well produced album, and the only thing bugging me with the sound is the snare drum.
If this album would've hit me back in the nineties when I was seriously into Thy Primordial, Sacramentum and such I'm sure it'd be much more satisfying. And for a newcomer to black metal it'll probably be quite impressive. But for a somewhat seasoned listener it just feels like it lacks identity.

John Arendale and Bonnie Eshleman were sound asleep when the sound of a commotion outside their front door, followed by two loud, firecracker sounding pops, roused them from their bed to see what was happening.
Eshleman looked out her kitchen window and saw as many as five Coconut Creek police officers standing around a man on the ground. The firecracker sound she heard was the shot discharged from the Tasers fired by two of the officers into the man, who appeared to be writhing in pain.
"He was yelling, `Baby, baby, baby. They're going to kill me," she recalled to CBS4's Jim DeFede.
From another window in their condo, Arendale watched the officers, as well. He said as they attempted to handcuff the man, one of the officers yelled at him, "Don't move or I'll break your [expletive] arm."

Movie Studios Can't Dictate Taste2 Aug, 2005 By: Holly J. Wagner
A couple of recent events have gotten me thinking about the box office slump and the gaps between what people want to see, what they have available to see and what they should see.
One thing, of course, is the box office slump and the widespread debate about what's behind it. It's the first time I can recall that DVD has been cited as at fault, rather than the boon that it has been and remains for studios.
DVD sales and rentals are hitting a plateau partly because the industry is maturing. This is a predictable stage in any rational product life cycle. "Rational" is the operative word here, since Hollywood is given to irrational exuberance. Heck, Hollywood often manufactures irrational exuberance, then drinks its own Kool-Aid.
That seems to be the case with a lot of young directors, who make self-indulgent movies like Kill Bill and Sin City. The latter was a visually stunning movie, but it also was a complete sacrifice of substance at the altar of style. While I want to be transported away from the real world when I watch a movie, this is not the world I want to visit. I'm glad I didn't spend $10 to see it. It's really little different from watching a porn movie about flying solo, if you get my drift.
Movie studios try to dictate taste (that's why so many companies clamor for product placement). Lately, it seems they are taking advantage of the copyrights they already have to remake movies from old films and TV shows. The problem is, too often they are making movies out of films and shows that stunk or, at best, played to the lowest common denominator when they were on the air ("Charlie's Angels?" "The Dukes of Hazzard?").
USA Today movie critic Michael Medved recently opined that people are staying home because movies don't reflect their values. I don't agree with the suggestion that there is a homogeneous set of American values, and the box office reflects that. Some people are going to see these movies, but the people who don't care about them are the ones spending their money somewhere else, and that is what is making headlines — the folks who refuse to drink the Hollywood Kool-Aid.
I wouldn't pay to see Sin City, and you won't be able to drag me to the remake of The Poseidon Adventure. I didn't go see the first one, and I was a kid then. So, while I admit I have long been an infrequent theater customer, I do agree with Medved that more people are joining me in voting with our feet and wallets for reasons ranging from crying children and cell phones in theaters to lousy movies.
If you want to see The Motorcycle Diaries, Born Into Brothels, A Day Without a Mexican or Murderball, you have to drive for miles and miles to find a theater that's showing it. Maybe there is more to the "I'll wait for the video" phenomenon than the industry is acknowledging.
A week or so ago, our local stations were airing news stories about the series "Over There," which gives a fairly realistic view of life in the trenches on Middle Eastern battlefronts. One interview subject, the wife of a soldier in Iraq, was incensed. She said that with loved ones fighting overseas, families at home don't want or need to see that.
I would argue just the opposite. In a country that is daily sending soldiers to near-certain peril and intense risk of death, we need to know what we are sending them into. The government has made a declaration that U.S. news outlets are not allowed to show the flag-draped coffins returning from Iraq and other fronts in the war on terror. If this makes the war more real for decision makers and a placid public, I say show it every night. For those of you with relatives in the fighting forces, that's why your TV remote is equipped with buttons that change the channels and turn off the blinkin' one-eyed monster. It's also why you can buy a season of "Friends" instead of a season of "Over There."

DownloadBar » System Tools » Eusing Free Registry Defrag 1.5
Eusing Free Registry Defrag is a free registry defragmentation software that optimizes registry by removing gaps, fragments and wasted space in Windows registry files.
Over time the registry becomes larger and larger as new programs are installed, used and removed. Even if this data is deleted from it when applications are uninstalled, the size of the Registry will not decrease. This is because the data will be marked as blank but remains in place. In this way the registry becomes more and more fragmented over time. Registry fragmentation causes overall system performance to decrease. Systems with a fragmented registry will take longer to boot and will use more memory just for processing the registry, resulting in decreased overall performance as other programs are forced to use much slower virtual memory.
Eusing Free Registry Defrag can defragment and compact the Windows Registry in less than a minute. It will scan through the registry to remove any slack space, reducing the registry size and ultimately the amount of RAM the registry takes up, and improving your computer performance. It does NOT change the contents of the registry in any way, nor does it physically defrag the registry files on the drive. The optimization is simply compacting the registry hives to the minimum size possible. The software is free, it's simple to use, and it speeds up your PC.
Features of Eusing Free Registry Defrag 1.5:
- Improve your Windows PC's overall performance and stability
- Reduce the amount of time it takes your system to boot
- Save memory by compacting the registry
- Prevent registry corruption by building a fresh copy of the registry
- A simple, user-friendly interface with which you can safely compact the registry
- 100% Spyware FREE, NOT contain any Spyware, Adware or Viruses
What's New in Eusing Free Registry Defrag 1.5:
- Support multiple languages;
- Fixed bugs on 64 bit Windows7.

Csonka: The Resurrection of The 3 Man Band
– Welcome back to column time with Larry. I think that when it comes to storytelling, that that the redemption story is not only a popular one, but one that resonates with everyone. Everyone has had a rough time or knows of someone that's down on their luck, and to me, there is nothing better than a great redemption story. They work because on some level, everyone can relate. But what if I told you that a lovable group of performers would live their dream and make it as professional wrestlers, come together as a unit and then have tragedy strike as it's all taken away from them. And what if I told you that four years after two of these men were released that days after Easter and the celebration of Christ's resurrection, that not only were all members of the 3 Man Band back in WWE, but that they were having their best year ever…living through a real career resurrection.
Heath Slater: You may not realize this, but Heath Slater has been part of the WWE in some form for 11-years now; he survived Deep South and FCW before getting his break with the Nexus. Slater was never going to be the star of that group, but carved a nice career as a tag guy and strong enhancement performer. I do not mean that as an insult, because Slater has been extremely reliable, always made his opponents look great and when given the chance was great for a laugh. He has a good charisma and I felt always made the most of his on screen time, which really showed during the original run of 3MB. But again, Slater was just a small cog in the machine, seemingly destined to odd undercard groups like 3MB, Slater Gator and the Social Outcasts. While WWE may have never seen him as a star, his was the highlight of these undercard factions. And then the draft happened last year, and in an odd twist of fate, Slater being left alone in a dark room and not being drafted was the best thing to happen to him. Slater started appearing, claiming he needed a job because he needed a double wide for his family, a new pool and possibly a prosthetic tongue for one of his many troubled kids. He started to gain fan support, and ended up in a team with Rhyno on Smackdown. They formed a fun odd couple tag team, and with the fans behind him, earned a run with the tag team titles. Slater looked like a guy that was left for dead, kept working hard, and made the most of the small opportunities given to him. The rise of Slater on Smackdown was fun, his segments with Rhyno were funnier than they had any right to be and he proved that if you keep working hard and make the most of your opportunities, no matter how small, you can earn the respect of the fans and become more than just another guy. He seems stalled right now, but there's no doubt that Slater has had a good year, better than anyone expected, and is the kind of guy that will have a job for a long time because he's willing to do what he has to in order to stay on TV.
Drew McIntyre: Back in 2006, at the age of 21, WWE signed a young Drew McIntyre. When his main roster debut came in 2009, I felt he was in trouble right off the bat simply for the fact that they tagged him with "The Chosen One" gimmick. These style of gimmicks tend to not work, either because of backlash or simply because the performer doesn't live up to the billing. At that time, McIntyre wasn't ready and the writing for him wasn't very good. He had times where he looked good, but it never clicked. He largely got lost in the shuffle, got placed into 3MB and was released in 2014. Re-branding himself as Drew Galloway, he wasn't discouraged and hit the ground running back in ICW and with WWNLive. In his first post WWE match he defeated Chris Hero to become the Evolve champion, and over the course of his run became one of the main faces for the company. Galloway was on a mission, not only to make the title he won important, but also to prove that he had what it takes to be a star in the wrestling business. Galloway's hard work also landed him in TNA, where he also found success at the top of the card, winning their world title. His work has been great, and now looks like someone that WWE really missed the boat on. At age 31, after a hell of a run on the indies, Galloway feels like he's really hit his stride and is a great addition to any card he's on He proved that being released by WWE isn't the end of a career as long as you're willing to work your ass off to prove people wrong; he did that and made himself a hot commodity. Galloway decided not to re-sign with
TNA Impact Wrestling, and is officially back in the WWE fold and is about to be a main player for the NXT brand. Make no mistake, this is not only due to his hard work, but was also because he made himself such a big star outside of WWE that the promotion took notice and snatched him up before World of Sport & ITV could grab him. McIntyre is back home and proof that you can work your way back to the top, and that second chances are possible if you refuse to accept defeat and work your ass off.
Jinder Mahal: In the spirit of full disclosure, I want to say that I am not part of this new "pro-Jinder Mahal" movement on Twitter that think just because he got jacked up, that it means that Mahal has become some super in ring worker or is suddenly the most improved performer of 2017. Hell, in all honesty until this week, he was nothing but a warm body occupying Raw's low card and a mainstay on WWE main event putting on forgettable and bland matches with Curtis Axel on an endless loop. While he has worked his ass off to get into amazing shape, I find him to be a boring wrestler; I have watched more Jinder Mahal in 2017 than anyone should but WWE has decided to give him a chance, and I have no issue with him getting a chance, it's the timing of the chance I have issue with. It feels so rushed and poorly planned, he had no momentum and even lost the week prior to the #1 contender's match. I do like that they gave him some minions (which could be a huge chance for the Bollywood Boyz). I really hope that since they have given him this chance that they have this fully planned out; have about four weeks to establish him, give him some real momentum and try to give us a reason to care. I'll give it to them, it's a fresh contender, but now they have to make us care. Can they do that? Can they give him some actual momentum and build him into a challenger that people care about in the lead up to the PPV? We shall see. To be honest with you, I do feel that Corbin was more ready for the role, he wasn't pinned last week and had the win over Ambrose to play off of; giving him a shot at a B PPV in a title match would have been my first call, and if you want to give Mahal a chance, build the guy up so that it feels as if it means something. We always ask for fresh challengers, we want new stars and to be honest with you it isn't like Orton is hot shit as the champion right now. Maybe it works, maybe they make a new star and for Mahal I hope it works out. I get why WWE wants to get behind Mahal and to a lesser degree the Bollywood Boys, WWE has opened a WWE Shop in India, they are going to tour there in the fall, and Mahal can be a feel good story of a guy that worked hard, made it back to WWE and can inspire the people that they hope to make money spending fans; Mahal also has a degree in business and culture, speaks the language and can do a lot of media for the company. India is WWE's single-largest regional contribution to the brand's social media community of 750 million followers globally and WWE is looking to engage their fans in India more than they have recently. The bottom line is that Mahal is making the most of his second chance and I certainly don't hate him for that.
– Had you proposed all of this to me years ago when 3MB broke up, I likely would have laughed hysterically, but likely would have bought McIntyre becoming an indie success and darling, but that's about it. The motto of Smackdown is that it's the land of opportunity, and it has been for Slater and Mahal. People love a redemption story and America loves to give people a second chance, it's nice to see some people work hard and get their second chance at their dreams.
– End scene.
– Thanks for reading.

A man should be himself and find his own style. If he is comfortable with his own style, that will be attractive. Clean, neat in whatever style the man prefers is dynamite. Being well-groomed tells the world that you care about yourself.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
The question is... What woman are you trying to attract?
It honestly depends on your personal style and what exactly do you find is not attractive about it. However, in a general sense I will give you a few pointers to make your closet more woman friendly.
1. Say bye bye to BLAH: Keep a nice array of colors and patterns in your closet no girl likes a man with only black/white/brown.... add some reds, blues, yellows, and maybe even light pinks if your okay with that. With those colors add some stripes [horizontal and vertical] or maybe some graphics on your t-shirts. However, with that being said, don't go crazy with patterns and colors ie: Hawaii patterned shirts are a NO NO!
2. Shoes... a guys best friend: Keep your shoes clean and have a few pairs that provide selection, comfort, and style. Always have a pair of casual sneakers [not for active use] they provide simple style with easy comfort. Always have a pair of dress shoes in brown or black and keep then clean! CLEANLINESS IS KEY! On a short note, keep sock colors to a minimum of black, white, and brown. DO NOT wear white socks and black shoes... its an absolute no to many women.
3. Pants Please: Pants for men are pretty simple in the eyes of a woman. Jeans are a must and make sure they fit properly [size and length]. Do not wear jeans above your ankle. Not only do they look silly, but they make you look sloppy. If you like shorts.. GO FOR IT! Shorts are nice, casual, and come in a wide array of styles, colors, materials and such.
4. Accessories are not only for women: Watches, sunglasses, necklaces and chains. These are things that pertain more to your style and allow for a bold statement or the finishing touch to any outfit. I wont give much advice on this because you cant really go wrong with these simple items. Know what you like and wear it.
I really hope this helps. The key is to be yourself and show off your personal style. Women will like you for you and dont change just to please someone else... in the end its not worth it. If you have a personal style and would like me to give you a more personal clothing list and style please feel free to message me at anytime! I would love to help.
Thanks! Bri

HÀ NỘI — Up to 38 per cent of Malaysian enterprises chose Việt Nam as their favoured expansion destination in Southeast Asia, the United Overseas Bank's (UOB) Asian Enterprise Reports 2016 shows.
The report, released last Friday, states that 61 per cent of the surveyed Malaysian firms want to invest in Việt Nam's manufacturing, 60 per cent are interested in healthcare and pharmaceuticals, and 38 per cent want to put money in the construction and real estate sector over the next three to five years.
The companies said the key factors influencing their choice of expansion destination were stable/improving political and economic climate (41 per cent); large and growing customer demand (40 per cent); favourable tax and regulatory environment (35 per cent); strong local business connections (32 per cent); and Government incentives (28 per cent).
Asian enterprises look to expand overseas in order to increase sales, raise competition in the domestic market, limit growth in the domestic market, diversify products and services and control costs.
Việt Nam is an attractive destination for investors because of its stable political environment, favourable economic conditions and attractive demographics, the report said.
Việt Nam is also forging ahead for international economic integration through participation in multilateral economic initiatives and free trade agreements, such as those with the European Union, Eurasian Economic Union and South Korea.
In 2016, the UOB conducted a survey of Asian enterprises in mainland China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand to explore how they are capitalising on business opportunities based on global and regional economic trends and trade flows.
The research also examined the challenges Asian businesses are facing, their strategies and plans to fuel the next stage of growth, and their preferences and considerations when expanding regionally.
A total of 2,500 business leaders – key financial decision-makers of Asian enterprises – participated in the research. Businesses that were included in the survey had to be in operation for at least three years. — VNS

More details are coming out about the Orlando shooter, Omar Mateen, and his activity before the nightclub shooting in which he killed 49 people before being killed by police and SWAT teams during the hostage situation. His wife has said that he may have scouted a number of locations for his attack, such as Disney properties in the area. Disney has said it has been increasing security measures "for some time." There are also details that the shooter was a regular at the club for years and was even on at least one same-sex dating app.

More information has also emerged on the victims from Sunday's tragic shooting. Authorities have released the names of the 49 people who were killed in a massacre early Sunday at a club in Orlando. They ranged in age from 18 to 50, and included a recent high school grad, a barista, an accountant, and a travel planner.
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling even took to Twitter yesterday to mourn 22-year-old Luis Vielma, an employee at Universal's Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park in Florida who was killed on Sunday. "Luis Vielma worked on the Harry Potter ride at Universal. He was 22 years old," Rowling wrote alongside a picture of the young man. "I can't stop crying. #Orlando." She also responded to a friend of Vielma's, writing, "I'm so, so sorry. My heart goes out to you, all his friends and his poor family."

Adam Levine, who served as Christina Grimmie's coach when she appeared on The Voice, has offered to help out her family by paying for her funeral services. News of Levine's offer to pay for his former "The Voice" team member's funeral was confirmed by Grimmie's brother, Marcus, on Facebook. He posted that Levine had "personally called" Grimmie's mother and said "he will pay for the funeral" and their mother's flight. Christina Grimmie was shot and killed last Friday night at a concert in Orlando.

Kacey Musgraves was very active on Twitter after the tragedy in Orlando. At first she talked about how it made her cry and feel sick. And then she wrote a post that got everyone talking. She said: "Let's go back to saloon days where every [expletive] is carrying a revolver and anyone walking in to disturb the peace might think twice." Some people took it for face value, thinking she believes everyone should have a gun, while others thought it was insensitive sarcasm. Either way, she took the post down, but it survived on several websites.

A new bride didn't let her white gown stop her from reviving a woman who was unconscious on a bench in Pittsburgh. Julie Stroyne, a trauma nurse at UPMC-Presbyterian, was walking in downtown Pittsburgh this weekend after her wedding reception when she and others from her wedding party saw the ailing woman who had no pulse. The bride kicked off her heels, got down on her knees and began performing CPR while others called 911. Gradually, the woman came back from the brink of death and was doing much better when paramedics arrived to take her to the hospital.

text: Rome - The World Food Programme will start airlifting aid into Mogadishu "within days", the UN agency's director said on Thursday, after the United Nations officially declared a famine in two regions of southern Somalia.Speaking during a visit to the Somali capital, Josette Sheeran said WFP was also looking at ways of getting food supplies into drought-stricken areas controlled by the Islamist Shabaab militants "as quickly as possible"."WFP will start airlifts within days into Mogadishu to get vital supplies of special nutritious foods for the malnourished children who so desperately need it," Sheeran was quoted as saying in a statement from WFP headquarters in Rome."WFP welcomes the statements of those controlling areas of southern Somalia, that humanitarian aid will now be allowed," she said."We are testing the ground to see how we can best get life-saving supplies in as quickly as possible to those at the epicentre of the famine in the south."WFP was forced to pull out of southern Somalia last year following a series of threats and curbs imposed by the Shabaab, but has continued to operate in other parts of the country.Sheeran said WFP was reaching 1.5 million people in Somalia and was scaling up operations to reach an additional 2.2 million people in the south of the country."WFP is preparing to open up a number of new routes - by land and air - into the core of the famine zone," it said.

Reasoning over user-centric activity dataJune 16th, 2011
There are two reasons why we believe ontology technologies will benefit the analysis of activity data in general, and from a user centric perspective in particular. First, ontology related technologies (including OWL, RDF and SPARQL) provide the necessary flexibility to enable the "lightweight" integration of data from different systems. Not only we can use our ontologies as a "pivot" model for data coming from different systems, but this model is also easily extensible to take account of the particularities of the different systems around, but also to allow for custom extension fo particular users, making personalised analysis of personal data feasible.
The second advantage of ontologies is that they allow for some form of reasoning that make it easier for us to just through data into them and obtain meaningful results. I use reasoning in a broad sense here to show how, based on raw data extracted in the logs of Web servers, we can obtain a meaningful, integrated view of the activity of a user of the corresponding websites. This is based on a current experiments realised with 2 servers hosting various websites, including blogs such as uciad.info, as well as the linked data platform of the Open University — data.open.ac.uk.
Traces of activities around a user
The first piece of inference that we need to realise is to be able to identify and extract, within our data, information related to the particular traces of activities realised by a user. To identify a user, we rely here on the settings used to realise the activity. A setting, in our ontology, correspond to a computer (generally identified by its IP address) and an agent (generally a browser, identify by a generally complex string such as Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_6) AppleWebKit/534.24 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/11.0.696.68 Safari/534.24). The first step is therefore to associated a user to the settings he/she usually uses. We are currently developing tools so that a user can register to the UCIAD platform and his/her setting be automatically detected. Here, I manually declared the settings I'm using by providing the triple store with the following piece of RDF:
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:actor="http://uciad.info/ontology/actor/"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://uciad.info/actor/mathieu"> <actor:knownSetting rdf:resource="http://uciad.info/actorsetting/4eafb6e074f46857b1c0b4b2ad0aa8e4"/> <actor:knownSetting rdf:resource="http://uciad.info/actorsetting/c97fc7faeadaf5cac0a28e86f4d723c9"/> <actor:knownSetting rdf:resource="http://uciad.info/actorsetting/eec3eed71319f9d0480ff065334a5f3a"/> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF>
This indicates that the user http://uciad.info/actor/mathieu has three settings. This settings are all on the same computer and correspond to the Safari and Chrome browsers, as well as the Apple PubSub agent (used in retrieving RSS feeds amongst other things).
Each trace of activity is realised through a setting (linked to the trace by the hasSetting ontology property). Knowing the settings of a user therefore allows us to list the traces that correspond to this particular user through a simple query. Even better, we can create a model, i.e. an RDF graph, that contains all the information related to the user's activity on the considered websites, using a SPARQL construct query:
PREFIX tr:<http://uciad.info/ontology/trace/> PREFIX actor:<http://uciad.info/ontology/actor/> construct { ?trace ?p ?x. ?x ?p2 ?x2. ?x2 ?p3 ?x3. ?x3 ?p4 ?x4 } where{ <http://uciad.info/actor/mathieu> actor:knownSetting ?set. ?trace tr:hasSetting ?set. ?trace ?p ?x. ?x ?p2 ?x2. ?x2 ?p3 ?x3. ?x3 ?p4 ?x4 }
The results of this query correspond to all the traces of activities in our data that have been realised through known setting of the user http://uciad.info/actor/mathieu, as well as the surrounding information. Although this query is a bit rough at the moment (it might include irrelevant information, or miss relevant data that are connected to the traces through too many steps), what is really interesting here is that it provides a very simple and elegant mechanism to, from large amount of raw log data, extract a subgraph that characterise completely the activities of one user on the considered websites. This data can therefore be considered on its own, as a user-centric view on activity data, rather than a server-centric or organisation-centric view. It can as well be provided back to the user, exported in a machine readable way, so that he/she becomes can possibly make use of it in other systems and for other purposes.
We are currently working on the mechanisms allowing users to register/login to the UCIAD platform, to identify their settings and to obtain their own "activity data repository".
Reasoning about websites and activities
The second aspect of reasoning with user-centric activity data relates to inferring information from the data itself, to support its interpretation and analysis. What we want to achieve here is, through providing ontological definitions of different types of activities, to be able to characterise different type of traces and classify them as evidence of particular activities happening.
The first step in realising such inferences is to characterise the resources over which activities are realised — in our case, websites and webpages. Our ontologies define a webpage as a document that can be part of a webpage collection, and a website as a particular type of webpage collection. As part of setting up the UCIAD platform, we declare in the RDF model the different collections and website that are present on the considered server, as well as the url patterns that makes it possible to recognise webpages as parts of these websites and collections. These URL patterns are expressed as regular expression and an automatic process is applied to declare triples of the form page1 isPartOf website1 or page2 isPartOf collection1 when the URLs of page1 and page2 match the patterns of website1 and collection1 respectively.
Now, the interesting thing is that these websites, collections and webpages can be further specified into particular types and as having particular properties. We for example declare that http://uciad.info/ub/ is a Blog, which is a particular type of website. We can all declare a webpage collection that corresponds to RSS feeds, using a particular URL pattern, and use an ontology expression to declare the class of BlogFeed as the set of webpages which are both part a Blog and part of the RSSFeed collection, i.e., in the OWL abstract syntax
Class(BlogFeed complete intersectionOf(Webpage restriction(isPartOf someValuesFrom(RSSFeed)) restriction(isPartOf someValuesFrom(Blog)) ) )
What is interesting here is that such a definition can be added to the repository, which, using its inference capability, will derive that certain pages are BlogFeed, without this information being directly provided in the data, or the rule to derive it being hard-coded in the system. We can therefore engage in an incremental construction of an ontology characterising websites and activities generally, in the context of a particular system, or in the context of a particular user. Our user http://uciad.info/user/mathieu might for example decide to add to his data repository the ontological definition allowing him to recognise traces over BlogFeed realised with the Apple PubSub agent as a particular category of activities (e.g., FeedSyndication), alongside others that characterise other kind of activities: recovering data, reading news, commenting, editing, searching, …

KISS my What?Posted by: | Comments
In the presence of my husband, if someone says "kiss my ass", he quickly says, "mark a spot, you are all ass"
Here is Paul Stanley, guitarist from KISS – born in Queens in 1952 and a legendary rock figure, writing and co-writing a majority of their famous chart busting hits. It was with Paul's encouragement that KISS took off their makeup sometime in the 80's. Paul has a birthday coming up on Inauguration day, he will be 57 and still looking pretty good!
It's tough for many to take off their make-up because we are a society driven by the anorexic look, face lifts, fat lips and boob jobs. What are we recognized for, is it our appearance, talent, brains or looks?
We have all heard Oprah whining lately about how upset she is with her appearance, she needs to loose weight by the Inauguration….. give me a break! I've got news for Oprah, many people would like to be employed, or be able to pay their bills on time. A worry such as 15 pounds should never throw us into such a tail spin.
We have stereo typical images of bad boys, dumb blondes, sex symbols, geeks, business men, career women and so on…Take off that stereo typical make up, there are so many things you can obsess over, other than appearance, I have battled my weight for many years, up 20, down 10, up 5, down 1.. I can't physically keep up my "goal" as set by the Weight Watchers standards.
I am setting my own goal, it's where I feel comfortable, where things fit that I like. Strive to be the best you can, don't strive to be someone else, or look like someone else, because, underneath all that stereo typical make-up, there very well may be botox, silicione and alot of stitches & scars.
A great example of the not being stereo typical is Diane Keaton, she is who she is, and she is a beautiful woman!
To the rest, well.. KISS my….
Coffee Meets SketchPosted by: | Comments
Under the holiday rush, the fear of job loss, and just the stress of having a wild & crazy teenager, Tracy was talking on the phone with her hands flying, only to realize she dumped coffee on the sketch I did for her mother.
Clearly from the link provided above you can see the white of the actual color done on the Sennelier Le Maxi Block Sketch Pad Well.. under pressure and with logical thinking that doesn't usually come out of a 17 year old, her son said to her, just pour coffee all over the rest of it. I did do another sketch, so the attempt was well, shall we say, an experiment..
She did not pour coffee over the entire sketch, but decided to "Tea Bag" soaking a tea bag in hot water, and lightly tapping it onto the paper, she came up with a very antiqued looking drawing.
So, even when you want to cry over spilt coffee.. there may be a solution..
Bloggeries about Big Hair or Bald Bad BoysPosted by: | Comments
This is a bloggeries on Big Hair or Bald Bad Boys – that is an awful lot of b's!
My subjects are quite diverse…and I did this sketch in a matter of 40 minutes, so go easy on me for the imperfections.
Sebastian Bach – Canadian Born – Heavy Metal Singer & Front Man for Skid Row and then there is Vin Diesel – Actor, writer, director and producer from New York.
Two totally different personalities and appearances. What drives our desires for other's and how can they be so diverse?
I can go from Old Country Western Music (yeah.. sappy, I know), but I grew up with Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson & Marty Robbins playing on the radio, so it's buried in my soul somewhere from years gone past. I have no problem mixing it up and as soon as Willie's crooning stops on Ladies Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys, I can switch gears and listen to 18 & Life, so what are the reasons that we are attracted to what we are?
Big Hair or Bald Bad Boys, either one, I say diversify!
How about you ladies out there in the blogosphere? What are some of your tastes that are on the opposite sides of the spectrum?
Guys, feel free to jump in and let me know your lady taste that fall on the opposite ends as well?.

Classified Ad's for BlogsPosted by: | Comments
I just ran across an interesting post regarding Classified Ad's for your blogs – Flugpo
I decided to give it a try and see how the traffic is and if it works.
Looking for housing, jobs, personal ads, or anything for sale. This appears to be a great venue for getting your product or services noticed.
I will be curious to see how the traffic to the site is from here, and will report back. The ads are free, so in my opinion it is worth the try.
Check out what the buzz is all about..
Eye of the "TY"gerPosted by: | Comments
Sitting on the famous steps that Rocky trained on in front of The Philadelphia Museum of Art, sits a blogger by the name of Ty Hurd, I first ran across him on the Entrecard forums, reading his blog from time to time and picking up some great pointers.
I would also stumble upon him as well, and we got to chatting back and forth and he sent me a link to The Top Affiliate Challenge, where he is a contestant for the web's first real time reality show, which will be starting to film in July.
Ty's story of the how, what and why he joined this challenge inspired me to morph him into a place he belonged, he wanted something, and has gone after it.
Being an avid reader of John Chow he opened his feedreader one morning….and read about the Top Affiliate Challenge, a point where he pondered what he wanted to really do with his blog, be content with it as it was, or take it to the next level.
Well, as you can see he decided he was going to climb those stairs, and get to that next level, I get the impression, there are no stairs to steep to climb for this guy.
He did a few auditions, and they went extremely well, but his latest one, a Spoof on Mythbusters video, has as of this morning given him a score of 79.10, which is 10 points higher than the 2nd place runner up.
Ty's excitement to work with the man that actually inspired him to begin blogging has been a driving force behind the great video's that he has used as auditions.
"Receiving the highest score from the producers of over 150 other video's was an accomplishment in itself" said Ty.
Staying in the top 10 to become a contestant Ty is continuing to strive for success. With dedication and flare, this is one guy that deserves to be heard. Check out his latest audition clip and while your there, hit the number 10 and vote, give him some kudo's for seeing what it was he wanted, and going for it.
A phrase you will see often in Ty's blog is…"just take action and see where it takes you".
