George Strait Tickets – Another Summerfest to Celebrate

George Strait has consistently been one of the top-selling country music artists to grace the Nashville scene over the last few decades, and it’s only fitting that this contemporary country icon should land a slot as the first headliner at the world’s largest music festival. Summerfest, heralded as the largest music festival by the Guinness Book of World Records in 1999, is the event of the year for Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and it has just been announced that Strait will perform at next year’s event, which will take place from June 25 to July 5, 2009.

The annual Summerfest event took form in 1968, when then-Mayor Maier started the festival in an attempt to bring pride and attention to Milwaukee’s downtown. Summerfest came about after Maier was inspired by a visit to Oktoberfeset in Munich, Germany, and the “Milwaukee World Festival,” which eventually turned into “Summerfest,” took off from there.
The incredible George Strait will take his fun-loving country music act to the big stage (or one of them, anyway) next summer at Milwaukee’s 75-acre Henry Maier Festival Park for the 10-day event, performing alongside all the big names in the music industry. Last year’s list of performers included LeAnn Rimes, Gnarls Barkley, Little Big Town, Three Dog Night and more, and Summerfest’s upcoming lineup is sure to promise just as many stellar acts to perform on one of the event’s 12 stages, including the 23,000 seat Marcus Amphitheater for headlining acts such as George Strait.

Before he was headlining the world’s biggest music affairs, the outstanding vocalist Strait was toying around with rock ‘n’ roll music in a garage band as a teenager in Pearsall, Texas, where he was born and raised in the 1950s and ’60s. After graduating from high school, Straight enrolled in college but dropped out and married his high school love, also enlisting in the Army. Stationed in Hawaii, Straight started playing gigs with an Army-sponsored country band called Rambling Country, and by the time he left the Army in 1975 the young Texan was left with a mouthful of music he couldn’t quite spit out. Straight spent a short span of time at Southwest Texas State University at San Marcos, studying agriculture while developing the makings of his own country band Ace in the Hole. Ace in the Hole furthered George Strait’s music dream, but ultimately he was signed onto MCA Records as a solo country artist in 1980, putting his name on the map for the first time with the hit single “Unwound” in 1981. As soon as the country crooner touched his feet down on Nashville soil with “Unwound,” the hits started flooding in. Strait breezed through the rest of the ’80s with smash singles such as “If You’re Thinking You Want a Stranger (There’s One Coming Home)” and “Fool Hearted Memory,” diving right into the ’90s with “I Cross My Heart,” “Easy Come, Easy Go,” “Heartland,” “Blue Clear Sky” and “True.”

These days, George Strait is still burning up the country music charts, also making hearts skip a beat with his crooked smile and gentle nature. Strait has met screaming crowds with George Strait tickets onstage armed with nothing but a microphone and a guitar, singing the peaceful country summer nights away with his sweet down home anthems. The country music icon most recently released his new single “River of Love” at the 2008 CMA Awards Show, where he was honored with the Single of the Year Award for the hit song “I Saw God Today,” also bringing home top honors for Album of the Year with Troubadour, taking his grand total of CMA Awards to 22. This longtime country legend is nowhere near retirement, so check out http://www.stubhub.com/george-strait-tickets to get concert tickets to an upcoming George Strait show!

Hackers Exploit New Adobe Flash Player Bug

The attack is not yet widespread. Adobe spokeswoman Wiebke Lips said they had received only two reports of attacks, the first one detected on Friday morning. Nevertheless, Adobe wrote on its security advisory that “this vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild against both Adobe Flash Player, and Adobe Reader and Acrobat.”

 

The bug causes system failure in the Adobe software and provides a backdoor entry for attackers to take control of the computer.

 

The flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.45.2, 9.0.262 as well as versions 10.0.x and 9.0.x for Windows, Linux, Solaris and Macintosh. Also vulnerable are Adobe Reader, Acrobat 9.3.2 and 9.x versions for Macintosh, Windows and UNIX.

 

According to Adobe officials, Flash Player 10.1 Release Candidate 7 and Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.x seemed immune to the flaw.

 

As of this writing, Adobe has yet to come up with an official patch for the flaw, although users may protect their computers by downloading the Flash Player 10.1 Release Candidate 7. They must also make sure that they are using the latest versions of the Reader and Acrobat code.

 

Another way to protect the flaw from wreaking havoc in one’s computer is to delete, rename or block access to the authplay.dll file.

 

Symantec reports that Adobe’s free Reader software has become a magnet for hackers in recent years. About half of online attacks were made possible by using malicious PDF files. Unfortunately, Flash is currently the main option for electronic document sharing, leaving many computers vulnerable to its flaws.

 

Adobe’s less secure platform was one of the major reasons why Steve Jobs did not allow Adobe Flash to be available on the iPhone or iPad.

 

In February 2010, Adobe apologized for its failure to fix a Flash Player bug for 16 months. The flaw had caused Safari 3, Internet Explorer 6 and 7, and Firefox to crash.

Bon Jovi Tickets – Aiding the Clinton Cause

In the midst of a struggling economy, it’s not only blue collar workers who are feeling the pinch for money as the New Year begins. Politicians are also experiencing the crunch, and one in particular is especially down in debt: Hillary Clinton. The New York senator and former presidential candidate spent millions of dollars in a failed campaign in 2008, and she’s turning to any means possible to help make up for some of that (current) .3 million debt racked up while trying to win the democratic nominee position in the presidential campaign.

While Clinton begins rebuilding, one musician will aid her personal cause: Jon Bon Jovi. The New Jersey-hailed rocker will perform later this month as part of the event dubbed “a final evening in support of Hillary Clinton for President Debt Relief,” a fundraiser set to take place at Manhattan’s Town Hall on January 15. Tickets for the Bon Jovi-led performance/fundraiser range from to ,000.

While Bon Jovi is taking current steps toward social activism in helping Clinton pay off her campaign debt, the 46-year-old musician is no new face in politics. He also performed for former Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton when the two won the Liberty Medal in 2006. With his upcoming performance, Bon Jovi joins the ranks of other Garden State natives Frank Sinatra and Bruce Springsteen, who have both used their music to aid political campaigns (Sinatra in 1960 for John F. Kennedy and Springsteen for John Kerry in 2004).

An influential musical figure these days, Jon Bon Jovi (whose real last name is Bongiovi) started his music career as a janitor at the New York recording studio the Power Station, which his cousin Tony owned. Eventually, Bon Jovi recorded songs in the studio, and the demo “Runaway” garnered incredible attention, scoring the rocker a band and a recording contract with Polygram/Mercury in 1983. Equipped with fellow rockers David Bryan, Alec John Such, Tico Torres and Richie Sambora, the band called Bon Jovi rode the wave from “Runaway” straight to the Billboard charts, following up the song’s success with the 1986 album Slippery When Wet.

Showcasing the number one singles “You Give Love a Bad Name” and “Livin’ on a Prayer” as well as Top Ten single “Wanted Dead or Alive,” Slippery When Wet exploded on the music scene, establishing Bon Jovi as a leading pop-metal band of the decade. 1988’s New Jersey succeeded the band’s 1986 album with an immediate number one on the Billboard charts, as well.

Bon Jovi was one of the few bands of the ’80s to continue onward in the ’90s with a similarly successful career, and the band kept throwing out hits into the 2000s.

Most recently, Bon Jovi has released Lost Highway, a 2007 release featuring songs with country artists LeAnn Rimes and Big & Rich, gaining a considerable country following in the process. Lost Highway scored big in the U.S., Japan, Australia, Canada and Europe, and Bon Jovi meanwhile has been performing numerous gigs around the globe. It’s never too late to see Bon Jovi live, so check out http://www.stubhub.com/bon-jovi-tickets for Bon Jovi tickets!

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

Scientology Volunteer Ministers delivered a workshop to the village of Pangaimotu in the Kingdom of Tonga.

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.

Tonga is the third South Pacific nation of this goodwill tour, which began in Fiji and moved next to Samoa. On completing their work in Tonga, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers will move on to Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.

Scientology volunteer ministers provide seminars and workshops on practical tools and skills developed by L. Ron Hubbard, as covered in the Scientology Handbook. These include communication skills, conflict resolution and the basics of organization.  Any group wishing to arrange a seminar can request one online through the Scientology Volunteer Ministers web site.

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