A Multi-Platinum Success Story
Ever-evolving, in the 1990's the country music genre was taken over by the "hat brigade" led by Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson and Tim McGraw. However, it was McGraw, the son of baseball icon Tug McGraw, and husband of country singer Faith Hill, who propelled country music to the heights of mainstream popularity. According to Starpulse.com, McGraw's sound "epitomized the strain of commercial country that dominated his era: updated honky tonk and Southern-fried country-rock on the uptempo tunes, well-polished, adult contemporary-tinged pop on the ballads."
McGraw signed with Curb Records in 1990. Not a Moment Too Soon, his second album, debuted in 1994. His first single from the album, "Indian Outlaw," generated considerable controversy amongst Native American groups and the resulting publicity helped sell many albums.
His second single, a ballad called "Don't Take the Girl" became his first #1 country hit and reached the top 20 on the pop charts. With even more hit singles, Not a Moment Too Soon went on to sell over five million albums and became a blockbuster hit and the bestselling country album of 1994. McGraw's 1995 follow-up album, All I Want, solidified his reputation as a genuine country star. The album, which sold 2 million copies, reached #1 on the country charts and #5 on the pop lists. In 1996 McGraw married Hill and in 1997 released Everywhere, another crossover smash that featured a duet by the dynamic country duo.
Everywhere went multi-platinum and signified McGraw's ascension to the title of contemporary country music's most popular entertainer. In 2000, McGraw released his greatest hits album, which also went on to top the charts. In the latter half of 2000, he went on the sold out Soul2Soul tour with his wife, Hill, and played in over 60 venues. It was the top country tour of the year.
McGraw continues to be a country music icon, but has other aspirations as well. He has acted in several televisions shows and movies including The Jeff Foxworthy Show and Friday Night Lights.
The singer also has goals in the political field and has indicated his desire to run for governor in the state of Tennessee sometime in the future. Be it music, acting or politics, McGraw's legions of fans will make sure he is a great success in whatever arena he chooses to play.

HDTV: Buying Guide, Part One
There's never been a better time than now to buy a high-definition television (HDTV). Whether your primary source of television programming is local over-the-air broadcasts, cable or digital satellite TV, you will find that there is now a wealth of high-definition programs available. If you have a standard-definition television you will also enjoy
all of your widescreen-format DVDs that much more on a HDTV. And with Toshiba now shipping their first-generation HD-DVD players and Blu-Ray players coming to North America next month, there are even more reasons why it makes sense to take the
plunge and buy an HDTV.

A Huddle For Righteousness by Marsh Reggie White

Due to the high number of abuse cases being reported today, US religious leaders are going through one of the most traumatic periods in religious history. In his timely new novel, A Huddle for Righteousness (AuthorHouse, May 2005, $12.95 paperback, 1-4208-1587-3), Marsh Reggie White presents a dramatic and creative story involving a Priest's fall from grace and God's justice for him and, ultimately, for us all.A Huddle for Righteousness is a narrative taken from the lives of biblical characters from Hebrews Chapter 11, and the hall of fame of faith. It involves a court room scene played out in heaven whereby Joshua, a High Priest, has been caught in a sinful act by Satan. God presides over the proceedings, Satan is the prosecuting attorney, and the Angel of Jehovah is the defense counsel....

Celebrity Gossip Blogs Challenge Traditional Media Outlets
Hollywood, California -- Lindsay Lohan is spotted in the morning by photographers wearing an enormous diamond ring on her wedding finger. She's been dating Hardrock Cafe heir Harry Morton for the past two months. Is the notorious party girl now engaged?
By the afternoon, there a good chance the story has spread like a virus among the Web's growing "gossip circuit."
Traditional gossip outlets include weekly magazines such as The National Enquirer and daily televisions shows such as Access Hollywood. While these outlets are still very popular, gossip blogs are quickly gaining ground. The nature of the Internet gives blogs two distinct advantages over traditional outlets: instant availability and user interaction.
"User interaction" comes after a new story has posted. Most gossip blogs have a comment section where readers can express their feelings after a story. A particularly newsworthy piece of gossip, such as Paris Hilton's recent arrest for drunk...
