I started practicing singing on my own a week ago, mainly inspired by some of my friends he told me to go for it, not for pro or anything, just as a hobby. So after a week of learning stuff online etc, practice I managed to pull of this. The new Muse song Uprising, Please hear it and rate. Keep in mind I am using a headset microphone, I need to get a good quality one since this is pretty shity (Microsoft LX-3000 xD), and I still need to work on my high notes (alot) as you will hear. So here it is:
http://www.2shared.com/file/8934388/338e716c/aaa.html
Update2: Following some of your advise I stayed away from imitating the muse singer and his weird special voice. Instead I went with what works with me best, here is the result( The chorus is still fucked up, I didnt figure it how exactly, but I am practicing dialy to imporve my range!) http://www.2shared.com/file/8939662/b979afca/aaaa.html
Update3: I tried to Reduse my Nasality so I reocrded 2 clips , one of the chorus and the 1st set of verse. There is no instrumentals , its just me singing clearly. http://www.2shared.com/file/8955621/818a716c/Test.html http://www.2shared.com/file/8955651/cecbe7ab/Test2.html
Update4: Trying to find a song that would reflect my voice properly, because I know Muse is just too special :/ . I love breaking benjamin should I try Evil Angel or Until the end or what? I need your guidance TL members :3
Update5: Practicing on Evil Angel by Breaking benjamin, though I dont know which pitch should I sing the song at which is quite weird, so I recorded me singing a verse in 2 tones, which one is better? http://www.2shared.com/file/8966302/796b5581/test_3.html
6: Tried to sing my heart out on this one, so I got my headphones and volumed them to 80% and started singing Until the end by breaking Benjamin: Umm ignore the screaming I am trying to find ways to learn it properly to generate proper voice! http://www.2shared.com/file/8978346/c7d50a1f/11_online.html

Hey guys, lately I have been working on my vocals after my friend nudging me to sing to them. So I made a recording of 21 Guns by green day ( one of my fav songs), though I'm not that good with audio enhancement software so I just recorded me singing with the background instrumentals out of the speakers themselves. Anyhow, I recorded this 10min, so its not my best since everyone is sleeping at the dorms xD! Check it out ^^

So today I decided to try out Nod32 because of all the good things I heared about it, I was using Kaspersky before so I decided to check it out. Anywayz I got the trial version , downladed it, installed it, and restarted the laptop. Once its done restarting, I couldnt find the new installation folder on my startup. So I went to the directory itself and I opened the program. There were lots of weird problems, such as not being able to update it. Anyhow so I decided to uninstall to install ESET smart security. But I cant find an uninstallation anywhere. I tried to delete the directory itself and it tells me I dont have enough permission. So some please tell me, why am I not being able to delete this damn thig?!!!

So after I successfully recovered my lost files after mistakenly formatting my whole OS, some programs started acting funny.. Like Firefox would not respond every once in a while and the laptop can freeze up for several seconds before it starts functioning again. Do these problems have to do with hardware or the OS itself? :/
    
DragoonPK, Aug 28 2009
So as the thread implies, I accidentally forgot to backup my system. Nothing major has been lost because I have most of my content on my external hard drive. However, I heard there are programs that are able to bring back the files lost, any recommendations?

If you are an Anime/Manga fan and you didn't watch Monster, then you are missing out on one of the best Anime/Manga series ever created boasting the best storyline I have ever encountered. However, if you don't really enjoy Anime/Manga I still believe that you will definitely fall in love with the series. So what are we dealing with here?
Introduction:
Monster is a sychological horror/Detective fiction Manga written by Naoki Urasawa which tells the story of Dr.Tenma, a successful Japanese surgeon living in Germany. The story takes you through a series of events that happen to Dr.Tenma so suddenly that it changes his whole life forever.
Why is this so different than other Anime/Manga?
Monster is has the best Story and character development I have seen in a series regardless of it being Anime/Manga or a TV Show. The story is so well written and develops at a constant pace that it draws you in. It leaves so many questions that need answering from the start, and does a successful job of letting you wonder and go crazy trying to find out what happens. In addition, I haven't really seen that many story/character development oriented series that has such thrill and suspense.
1: Storyline:
![[image loading]](http://static.flickr.com/37/75917239_36aeb02fc0_o.jpg)
You can read this if you want but, it has some spoilers of the 1st episode, but its really shallow nothing major.
+ Show Spoiler +
Monster takes you to Germany, years after WWI. It start by introduction the main character, Dr.Tenma as Japanese surgeon who over the years have gotten really famous as the best Brain surgeon in the whole area. Suddenly though, Dr.Tenma has a rather depressing talk with one of his patients that starts to make him question his beliefs. In an attempt to do the right thing, he chooses to save the life a young boy that was shot in the head rather than going on by instructions and saving an Important persons life. Thus after this point, thing start to change in Dr.Tenmas life as the decision he made on that day will be a mark in his life forever.
2:Characters
![[image loading]](http://batrock.net/animeimages/monster73-01.JPG)
I would rather not touch much on this section since you have to watch it for yourself, however I am going to just summarize how the characters are taken. First of all, all the characters eventually relate in someway to Tenma, Tenma is the center of the story. The story however doesn't constantly focus on him alone, it shifts from one character doing a totally different thing and back to Tenma and then changes again. This sort of shift, causes the person watching to wonder what is happening to Tenma, and then what is happening to the characters surrounding him. In addition Naoki Urasawa does a wonderful job of making the person watching to connect personally with each and every character as their actions represent emotions and characters in human beings.
3: Setting
![[image loading]](http://api.ning.com/files/fHiOrgUZoR4SBiImxmmfQmhmL9-WyD5XHrkJvTagppOZlHOx4YWNe3bEp*5EOCGbF7pkRzcExn*5Q6lCvDoiPxwlYA22aPiP/monster.jpg)
The setting does a great deal of impact on the series itself. Throughout it, you can relate to real life figures/objects/scenes as it beautifully illustrates and reflects things we see in our daily lives. The setting chosen for the story really rewards it as it helps in signifying Naoki Urasawa 's messages to the person watching.
Why is Monster the best Anime/Managa ever (My Opinion)?
Lets say this, the music, character, story, development, and setting all fits perfectly. I have not seen any Anime/Manga that really does a better job than how Monster started, developed, and concluding. It does feel like the most complete series I have ever watched. I feel inlove with it and it was really a rewarding experience.

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender ..." – Winston Churchill
3 OSLs, 1 MSL, 1 GOMSL, and the Golden Mouse. A breakthrough in the balance of progaming occurred when a zerg player named Lee Jae Dong got his first debut back in 06. Oh, they said, a new "good" zerg player just entered the scene. Most people at that point didn’t realize the giant boulder of success that will arise from within this person. This player single handedly shifted the last 4 years of the progaming scene from being a place where "the one" doesn’t exist into a world where everything revolves around "The one".
The Creation:
![[image loading]](http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk5/neverggg/oslfinals/games/01a.jpg)
Jaedong took on a journey and entered Oz before they got their sponsorship from Hwaseung, back then they were called Plus. It was him, Anytime, and ForGG who held the team and brought the eyes of sponsors onto it. If it wasn’t for those 3 , I don’t think Oz would be what it is today. But as time passed 2 of the 3 Pillars of Oz left, Anytime for the army while ForGG to KTF. Jaedong remained there, and at that point all the pressure came collapsing on his shoulders. You see, if I or any other sane person was in Jaedong's position I would have collapsed under pressure. How can you handle being the teams ONLY chance of winning anything?!
Growth and development:
![[image loading]](http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk5/neverggg/oslfinals/games/games2/24.jpg)
Throughout the last few years, Jaedong was doing crazily sick in Starleagues AND Proleague. Usually, when you see a player used a lot in Starleagues, the team would use him less in PL just for the sake of him not collapsing under the huge rock of pressure. But Oz really, didn’t have a choice.. It was either put Jaedong and win, or NOT do it and do extremely bad. Now back again to what I said, if I or any other sane person was in Jaedong's position I would definitely argue, and try to get myself out of most of this pressure either by transferring or some other sort of way. But Jaedong, still remained with Oz and poured his heart and soul for his team. Whatever the coach asked, he obeyed. He was Hwaseungs Royal Guardian. The coach asks Jaedong to practice more for something, he does it. Heck, Jaedong said himself when the PL finals was around the corner, he was practicing full time for PL and after practice time he would practice for his SLs on his own time. Now how is Jaedong able to do this? How is Jaedong able to be so selfless and dedicate his whole to the team?! The only answer I have to this is Jaedong is insane. Jaedong is not a normal human; he has breached a wall that only a few people in this world were able to do so.
Brilliance and Excellency:
![[image loading]](http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk5/neverggg/oslfinals/ending/04.jpg) Jaedong: God, how many OSLs do you want me to win?
The thing that makes this even crazier is that he IS able to do it. He is the only player I have seen since I started playing BW that was able to lead his team to glory and just destroy SLs at THE SAME TIME. Flash was in the same situation, he was being overused and the result of it that he failed to deliver in SLs because of the GIANT BOULDER OF PRESSURE. Jaedong on the other hand was in fact so good, that whenever he loses 2-3 matches in a row someone here and there would say that Jaedong was slumping. He was able to be the best current Zerg player in all three MUs. Then it started, people started saying that Jaedong might be the new bonjwa. The person that gets the title of being imbalanced, indestructible, and untouchable. To anyone who argues not, I don’t know what do you want him to do to make you happy? Win 5 OSls and get the platinum mouse? Win 2 more MSLs and rival Nada's accomplishments? To tell you the truth, I believe it's all viable when it comes to Jaedong. I still believe his true potential isn’t unlocked, do you know why? Because he is under GIANT BOULDER OF PRESSURE.
Tough times:
![[image loading]](http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk5/neverggg/oslfinals/games/games2/39.jpg)
Currently Jaedong is having a hard time making a decision, more pressure from his parents, his coach, and his fans. He is thinking about what should he do day and night.. So what SHOULD he do? I believe the right choice would be for him to stay with Oz. I just don’t see Jaedong coming over the fact that he left his coach and his team. Even if he DOES say so, deep down in his heart it will be stabbing him. His loyalty and connection he developed with his coach and team is too big to change. He created it, he pulled it up, and he can never leave it. Because Oz is Jaedong, and Jaedong is Oz. They are one.
P.S. Thanks NeverGG for agreeing to use the pictures you took ^^.

So apparently today while I was "hugging my laptop" it came to my mind why is there a 64 under the processor sticker near the keypad. The processor is AMD Turion X2 Ultra. SO after 5 months of owning my laptop I found out that it is 64bit compatibility! So I was thinking, when windows 7 comes out and I decide to get it for my laptop, should I get the 32bit or 64bit version. All I know is that 64 handles applications better and has more room for RAM upgrades. So if anyone can please enlighten me on this discovery
