=========================
1. For those of you in the UnCasville, Conn area, Keith will perform at Mohegan Sun Arena on 20th Oct 06. If you can still get a ticket that is. They went on sale 1 Sep 06 at Ticketmaster for $65-$85.
2. Mark your calendar for 6th Nov 06 for the 40th Annual CMA Awards which will be returning to Nashville this year. If you recall, the event was held last year in NYC. You can catch the show on ABC.
3. I'm not sure how true this rumor is but supposedly Nicole is trying to persuade Keith to shave off his facial hair. Apparently she finds it irritating to her face. I wonder if that topic ever came up prior to the marriage. What could be next? Hey, I don't like the length of your hair ... get a haircut!
4. Here are the four awards Keith is nominated for at this years CMA Awards:
1 - Entertainer of the year: Brooks & Dunn Kenny Chesney Brad Paisley Rascal Flatts Keith Urban
2 - Single of the year for artist and producer: "Believe," Brooks & Dunn; "Better Life," Keith Urban; "Jesus Take the Wheel," Carrie Underwood; "Summertime," Kenny Chesney; "When I Get Where I'm Going," Brad Paisley (featuring Dolly Parton).
3 - Song of the year for songwriter and primary publisher: 8th of November, Big Kenny and John Rich; Believe, Craig Wiseman and Ronnie Dunn; Jesus Take the Wheel, Hillary Lindsey, Brett James & Gordie Sampson; Tonight I Wanna Cry, Keith Urban and Monty Powell; When I Get Where I'm Going, Rivers Rutherford and George Teren.
4 - Male vocalist of the year: Dierks Bentley Kenny Chesney Alan Jackson Brad Paisley Keith Urban
5. Nicole's rep, Cathrine Olim is insisting that Kidman is not pregnant, again. What if it turns out that she is lying? How does one get around that with the press? Olim claims that a recent pic of Nicole was digitally altered to make her look pregnant. The rep said that Nicole wouldn't be “shooting a film, traveling to Rome for another film, then shooting another film if she were” (pregnant).
If all of the bickering stated above between Nicole and Keith is true, perhaps it's a good thing if she is not. And it makes you wonder doesn't it that if you've signed several multi-million dollar film contracts, why would one pursue trying to get pregnant anyhow? She has 5 movies slated for production in the next few months.
6. Even a married man can't resist kissing 2 sisters from outside of Albany. That's what Keith did at a recent outdoor concert when he spotted their sign. He replied, "2 sisters, 2 wishes, 2 kisses! ... Well, come on up. I'm not going to miss this opportunity." Keith has been headlining and selling out several venues over the past few weeks including the Syracuse State Fair and the Crawford County Fair in Pennsylvania.
7. Keith will be returning to Australia in Oct for the Australian Recording Industry Association Awards. Talk about staying power, "Be Here" from 2004 has sold double platinum in Australia and is still No.3 on the ARIA country charts. And his first 1999 solo "Keith Urban" and 2002's "Golden Road", are still both in the Country Top 20 in Australia.

9. And finally, "Once in a Lifetime", Keith's new single from his upcoming Nov release, made history on Billboards 62 year history by debuting at No. 17 ... the highest ever. Eddie Rabbit had "Every Which Way But Loose" debut at No. 18 in 1978 and Garth Brooks also had a No. 18 debut with "Good Ride Cowboy" in 2005.
10. Do You Google? Here is a Google Tip - If you're a World Information hound, the The World Biographical Index (http://www.saur-wbi.de/) may be for you. This is one of the world's authorities of information about people, biographies and other cool facts dating all the way back as far as 1559.
It was free until Sep 2004 and now is only searchable via subscription ... but many public libraries will get you into the database for free .. right from your home. Check with your local library if this resource would be of interest to you.
11. A Computer Tip Before We Go ... Did you know that the inside of your computer should be cleaned every few months. How you may ask? With compressed air. Ensure the system is shut down .. unplug the cables ... remove the side panel and with the tower standing upright, hold the compressed air can vertically and spray the entire surface of your motherboard and power supply fan and any other USB plugs etc where dust can gather.
It's important to do this in a well ventilated area such as outside on a balcony or deck. And don't tip the compressed air upside down or water will spray out of it (that's not good). Just keep the can vertical and blow out the dust, as it causes heat to build up inside your computer. 6-8 good sprays for 5-10 sec each should do it.
12. That'll do it for this issue. If wish to comment or have any suggestions, I'm all ears. You can reach me at my web address.
Til next time.
