Taylor Swift Tickets – Taylor Swift to Headline Her Very Own Tour

As she continues to ride the Billboard charts, young country star Taylor Swift will embark on another journey-her first headlining tour. Taylor Swift’s tour will kick off in Evansville, Ind. April 23 and, according to http://Billboard.com, will feature multiple costume changes and a fairy tale theme. Swift’s sophomore album Fearless has spent eight straight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and moved 2.4 million since its November 2008 release. The tour will be in support of the album, which is the top seller of 2009 so far with 287,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. Swift will play three one-offs before the tour, including a March 20 show at Houston’s Livestock Show and Rodeo; Kelli Pickler and up-and-comer Gloriana will open all dates. Swift is slated to play fall dates in the U.K. after her run in North America and a trip to Japan is also on the horizon. Last fall Scott Borchetta, president of Swift’s record label Big Machine, commented on Swift’s stint on the road: “It will be super thrilling for her fans in the States to see photos of her in front of Buckingham Palace, downtown Tokyo and then the next time she’s in Cedar Rapids [Iowa] she’ll be that much a bigger star, but still Taylor-approachable.” Check out http://www.stubhub.com/taylor-swift-tickets for Taylor Swift tickets.

Although one might assume she is a southern belle because of her country songs, Taylor Swift actually hails from Reading, Pennsylvania. Swift grew up listening to country artists like Dolly Parton, LeAnn Rimes and Patsy Cline and persuaded her family to relocate to a suburb of the country music Mecca of Nashville when she was just 14 so she could pursue her dreams of stardom. Big Machine Records president Scott Borchetta heard Swift’s demo take and quickly swooped up the fledgling singer. In 2006 Swift’s debut single, “Tim McGraw,” was released, followed by her eponymous debut album. “Tim McGraw” was a breakaway hit and its music video put a face with a name-err, voice-making Swift the biggest up-and-comer on the country scene. Subsequent singles “Our Song” and “Teardrops on My Guitar” were also successful and in 2007 Swift became the youngest artist to win the Songwriter/Artist of the Year award at the Nashville Songwriters Association.

After “Love Story” became her next hit single, Taylor Swift released her sophomore album, Fearless. The singer, who is known for wearing her heart on her sleeve, penned nearly all of the songs on the album and drew from personal experiences such as breakups. Although most teenage girls don’t get the chance to date Joe Jonas, Swift often transforms her diary entries into songs and that is the reason for her relatability. (The middle Jo Bro broke up with Swift in a 25-second phone call so expect a song about the messy breakup to appear on the singer’s next album!) Now 18 years old, Swift has notched six autobiographical songs on the Billboard charts and doesn’t appear to be slowing any time soon! Get your Taylor Swift tickets soon!

No matter the reason is that corrupt virus signatures possibly have caused it not to upgrade properly, it won’t work regularly and needs to be reinstalled, or probably corrupt files are causing 100% CPU usage, etc. like all software, there also may be times when you have to uninstall and remove CCleaner.

The standard method of uninstalling CCleaner is from Windows built-in Add/Remove Programs, but sometimes the removal process would hang and you may be unable to remove CCleaner from your computer, because some registry entries and traces may still be left in your system.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers South Pacific Goodwill Tour in the Village of Pangaimotu

When the Scientology Volunteer Ministers South Pacific Goodwill tour moved their operation to the island of Vava’u last month, residents of the village of Pangaimotu heard about their work through radio and TV broadcasts and invited the volunteers to come to their island to deliver a workshop.

Pangaimotu is the name of a village and an island a half hour by boat from the capital of the Vava’u district of Tonga.  The Town Officer welcomed the Scientologists to the village and found them a hall in a local church where they could deliver their workshop. Then he brought them to visit each of the 185 houses in the village to invite every family to attend.

While walking through the village, one of the couples they met thanked the Scientologists for helping them through a very rough period in their lives. The volunteers were surprised and the couple explained that a short while earlier, they had picked up some of the Volunteer Minister booklets when the Goodwill Tour was in Nuku’alofa, the capital of Tonga. Then, when trouble struck, the couple had the solutions they needed, to pull them through the crises they experienced.

Just as the Scientologists were about to begin presenting the workshop, a baby in the audience began to cry.  The Scientology Volunteer Ministers showed those attending a simple technique anyone can use to help someone calm down.  L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Scientology religion, developed a body of technology called Scientology “Assists.” An assist is a Scientology process that alleviates present time discomforts or difficulties. The particular assist the Scientology Volunteer Ministers demonstrated is called a “Locational Assist.”  Easy to learn and do, a locational is done by directing a person’s attention off the painful area of his body or his difficulties and out onto the environment. When the parents used it, the child immediately stopped crying and became cheerful again.

Carrying on with the agenda they had planned, the Scientologists then covered techniques to improve the ability to learn, communicate and resolve conflicts.

Having attended the workshop, the people of the village of Pangaimotu understand why the motto of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers is “Something CAN be done about it”, and they now have tools they can use to improve their lives.

Linda Wieland writes for the Scientology Press Office in Los Angeles, CA.

Samoa: A South Pacific Heaven

Have you ever thought about what life could be like on an island? Do you dream of a South Pacific island paradise experience? Read on and discover the beauty and charm of Samoa.

Located in the heart of the pacific – Samoa is a group of four main islands. The islands are situated about halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii. It’s a tropical climate with an average temperature of about 72 degrees Fahrenheit. This area is warm all year round but often rains between November and April.

One of the main attractions in Samoa is the crystal blue warm water. It’s so beautiful and teeming with all kinds of exotic fish life. If you are a nature lover then this is the ideal holiday destination for you. There are many kinds of exotic wildlife that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.

Samoa has a history rich with folklore and myth. The people speak one of the oldest forms of Polynesian and many speak English.

There are four main islands – but due to their closeness it’s pretty easy to get around. Ta’u, Ofu, Olesseg, and Tutuila. The islands also have good roads and you should consider renting a bike and cycling around the islands. It a great way to get around and the islands aren’t too big.

Divers, snorkelers, nature lovers, hikers, and surfers will find Samoa a paradise for their needs. There are some world class spots here. You might even catch Kelly Slater catching a quiet wave in this modest little surfing Mecca.

There are well over 800 species of exotic fish and 200 species of coral. The ocean is teeming with beauty and if you are an avid snorkeler you will want to visit Ofu. The beach sand is unique and super-fine coral sand.

The islands also have a national Park which is on Tau. You will need a guide to go into some of the more remote areas. Its relatively simple to find a guide, just ask at the National Park offices and be sure to bring good shoes because you are in for a walk! There are beautiful volcanic areas you can explore with your guide so be sure to ask.

Saua is considered to be the birthplace of Polynesian people and is well worth a visit. You can drive to Saua with a rented car.
Ok so you are convinced – a Samoan holiday is where you are headed – what kinds of things do you need to know about the people before you go?

They are a modest people and have a different attitude towards dress. It is respectful; to cover most of your body while you are there; dress modestly rather than risking offending the locals.

If you are lucky enough to be invited into a traditional home you need to sit down on the floor before you eat or talk. Cover your legs – it’s considered rude to leave your legs exposed.

Polynesians are typically very welcoming people. They know how to treat tourists. A large part of their economy relies on tourism and you are treated hospitably wherever you go. As with any destination it’s good to know a bit about what might be considered rude in different cultures.

Don’t take pictures without asking it’s considered a sign of respect to ask before taking pictures.  Sunday in Samoa is considered to be a day of rest and this is strictly observed. Some activities, such as swimming, might not be allowed. Try to be sensitive to their beliefs and ask if in doubt. Villagers pray and if you are lucky you might even be invited to join in. If you enter a village during this prayer time, its called sa it is important to stop what you are doing and be quiet until it is finished.

If you are looking for a picturesque holiday with plenty to see and do; then this Samoan paradise is for you. It makes for a great holiday!
