Taper Notes: "Thanks to DS, JW, TD, ET, EN, and several other folks. It's been a good run catching up with old friends and making new ones. Special thanks to my girlfriend for putting up with my insane work/show schedule." "Here's my obligatory release from this leg of the tour. Time to recap, mix, and relax after the tour. First show of the US leg. Good solid show, although the leg would kick into a higher gear later on. Seat hopped to a nice spot, which did my good for most of the show. Weather was good thankfully. A bit more drums than I usually like, but that's what was coming through the cans. Did the best I could with mixing but can only do so much. Not my best sounding mix, but pretty solid overall in my book. Did some tricks to minimize the click, which helped. There's no helping the counts though, just get used to them after a while. U2 IEMs are not for everyone. If you can't stand the clicks/counts...then rock out to the audience sources. There's two very nifty sources out there.I left the stereo imaging the way it is to reflect my view from behind the stage. Usually I flip it, but left it this time. Please don't sell this recording in any way - no cash for blanks, 2:1s, or any other form of "getting paid for your time". Just share it freely. If you're going to destroy the sound of some ultra-spiffy high-end rigs by encoding and spreading them via poorly encoded mp3's, please keep them on your own computer and not dilute the tradepool. This means you! Please do not attempt to remaster/remix this recording and spread it around. There is little to no point of trying to compete with the original processing. It just creates problems with conflicting effects and processing errors. If you need to re-eq it for your own listening pleasure, that's fine, just don't spread it around. For the love of god, don't take mix this with an audience source and release it. There's enough ambiance in it. I initially aligned in an audience source, but kept lowering it, until I finally just scrapped it. Also, please don't torrent on other sites without at least dropping me a line and asking. I may want to just torrent it there myself." Enjoy folks!

Unraveling of the wonders in outer space continues with the latest discovery of an asteroid that is expected to keep company with earth, for several hundred years.
A team of Canadian scientists have discovered a "Trojan" asteroid that is caught in a synchronized orbit with the Earth.
Trojans are asteroids that share an orbit with a planet, locked in stable orbits by a gravitational balancing act between a planet and the Sun. Neptune, Mars and Jupiter are known to have Trojans.
Two of Saturn’s moons share orbits with Trojans. Scientists had predicted Earth should also have Trojans, but they have been difficult to find because the Trojans are relatively small and appear near the sun from Earth’s point of view.
This diminutive asteroid has a diameter of just 300 metres but is called a Trojan because of its particular position in a stable spot — either in front of a planet or behind it. Because the asteroid and planet are constantly on the same orbit, they can never collide.
Currently, it is about 50 million miles away, and should come no closer than about 18 million miles.

If you are yet to ditch Internet Explorer 6, a web browser released in 2001, now is the time to do it. Unless you want to be called dumb.
Here comes the flame war. According to a new report, dumb people are more likely to use Internet Explorer than smart people.
A survey used tests offered through Web searches or in online ads to measure the IQ of browser users.
Internet Explorer users scored lower on online IQ tests than users of other browsers
Report says people on the old IE 6 browser scored lowest; Opera users the highest
The survey, by a consulting company, wasn't conducted scientifically
It’s also interesting to note that average IQ scores of IE6 users were significantly higher in 2006, and that the IQ scores get better with newer versions of IE.
A company called AptiQuant, a self-proclaimed “world leader in the field of online psychometric testing,” tested the IQs of users and grouped the results according to which browser respondents used.
The survey findings were reported by Jared Newman on PC World with the headline "Internet Explorer Users Are Kinda Stupid" and as his story spread AptiQuant started to receive hate mail from IE users.

At least two people were reportedly killed and nearly 30 injured in a train accident in West Bengal's Malda district on Sunday (31-July-2011) evening.
The accident took place near Jamirghata in Malda district. One bogie of the derailed train caught fire.
Two bogies and the engine of the Guwahati-Bengaluru Express, which was on its way to the southern city, derailed first and were hit by the Azimganj-Malda Town Passenger leading to further derailment of bogies of both the trains, Railway sources said.
An Eastern Railway spokesman said the injured had been admitted to local hospitals and efforts were on to rescue passengers trapped inside two bogies.
Senior Railway officials rushed to the spot to oversee the rescue operations and a relief train had been sent.
The railways has confirmed that the driver of the passenger train that was coming from the opposite side on the adjacent track tried to apply emergency brakes when he saw the derailed express train but could not completely prevent a collision.

Born in Los Angeles, Esther Williams grew up swimming in playground pools and surfing at local beaches. By age 16, she represented the powerful Los Angeles Athletic Club swim team and had earned three national championships in both the breaststroke and freestyle. She was on the 1940 Olympic team headed for Tokyo when World War II intervened, canceling the games – along with her hopes for the gold and international fame. Still, she was attracting attention in other ways. In 1940 newspaper sports reportage, swimmers were frequently lined up for cheesecake photos, flashing big smiles and lots of leg. With her stunning good looks and tall, well-muscled frame, Esther was a standout! It didn’t take long for legendary showman Billy Rose to notice the photogenic champion. Rose needed a female lead to star opposite Olympian and screen star Johnny Weismuller in his San Francisco Aquacade review. He invited Williams up for an audition and, so the story goes, Weismuller himself picked her out of a casting call of 75 hopefuls. Her performing career had begun. The Aquacade was a true spectacle – a Broadway musical in swimsuits complete with hundreds of swimmers, divers, singing and special effects. Williams was featured as Aquabelle #1, performing choreographed duet swims with Aquadonis #1 (Weismuller). In a memo to his publicity department. Rose explained that, “I want to pivot everything around Williams. It is up to us to make this girl known up and down the coast. With the possible exception of Eleanor HoIm (the 1936 Olympic swimmer who was also Rose’s wife), she’s the most beautiful swimming champion in the history of aquatics.” MGM executives who saw her in the Aquacade agreed. They offered Williams a screen test – paired with none other than Clark Gable. Gable liked her, the studio liked her, and she was signed to a contract. She made her film debut opposite Mickey Rooney in Andy Hardy’s Double Life in 1942. As Williams explains, “The popular Andy Hardy series movies were MGM’s tests for its promising stars such as Judy Garland, Lana Turner and Donna Reed. If you didn’t.*make it in those pictures, you were never heard from again.” The audience response to the athletic All-American girl was phenomenal, and the studio put Williams’ career into high gear. Midway through filming Mr. Coed with Red Skelton, they changed the name of the movie to Bathing Beauty and made Esther Williams the star, demoting Skelton to supporting lead. Bathing Beauty was Hollywood’s first swimming movie, and it created a new genre that was perfectly suited to Esther’s beauty and athletic skills. A special 90-foot square, 20-foot deep pool was built at Stage 30 on the MGM lot, complete with hydraulic lifts, hidden air hoses and special camera cranes for overhead shots. “No one had ever done a swimming movie before,” she explains, “so we just made it up as we went along. I ad-libbed all my own underwater movements.” Famous choreographer Busby Berkeley was responsible for the film’s elaborate water scenes – complete with fountains, flames, smoke and, as Williams herself admits, lots of pretty girls swimming around with bows in their hair. It worked. According to Williams, Bathing Beauty was second only to Gone with the Wind as the most successful film of 1944. During the mid-40s, the MGM musicals were the most popular form of entertainment in the world. By the tail end of World War II, Williams was a pinup favorite with returning Gl’s. Meanwhile, MGM’s publicity mill kept churning out headlines and photo opportunities – she once counted 14 magazines on a local newsstand featuring her picture on the cover. Esther Williarns was America’s sweetheart for more than 18 years, appearing in 26 movies from the early 1940′s to the end of the ’5Os, all but the last few for MGM. Although she had a few dry-land roles in such films as Take Me Out to the Ball Game, it was the lavish water spectaculars that made her a top box-office draw and that became her cinematic trademark. Like ice skater Sonja Henie before her, Williams was one of the few female athletes to successfully cross over to widespread entertainment success. Her movie career played a major role in the promotion of competitive and synchronized swimming, which she is credited with popularizing. As International Swimming Hall of Fame literature explains, “If swimming would make his daughter grow up to look like Esther Williams, then father was willing to pay for the lessons.” Although movie making was exhausting work – Williams estimates that she swam more than 1,000 collective miles while making her movies and was in the water so many hours each day that she took naps with her legs on the pool deck and her head floating in the water – she found time to marry three times (last to Fernando Lamas) and have three children (Benjamin, Kimball and Susan) during her second marriage to radio singer Ben Gage. I don’t know to this day how I managed to fit into those bathing suits when I was pregnant,” she says, “but I did.” She still refers to each child by the movie she was making before they were born. “There I was, diving off platforms with Ben in Neptune’s Daughter, going underwater in silver lame’ with Kim in Pagan Love Song and learning how to water ski with Susie in Easy to Love…and somehow I stayed a size 10 through it all.” Williams showed that she had a head for enterprise between those broad swimmer’s shoulders. “I got into business because I knew those musicals couldn’t go on forever. In fact, I was doing some department store modeling at the time, and I told my bosses to hold my job. This movie-making thing wouldn’t last. I mean, how many swimming movies could they make?” When someone came to her with the idea of putting her name on a line of backyard swimming pools, she agreed. Twenty-five years later. “Esther ‘Williams is the most well-known name in the above-ground pool business today.” says Jerry Herson of the Delair Group in new Jersey, the company that actually manufactures the pools and sells them from California to Maine. Then came licensing agreements with fashion swimwear manufacturers that ultimately led to her own Esther Williams Collection sold in department stores, targeting older women and based on the retrospective look of her full-cut movie swimsuit designs. There’s also a line of fitness swimsuits in the works, “I’m reading my mail carefully.” she says. “Somebody has to give a little thought to the woman who has nursed a baby and I want to apply my knowledge of what feels good in the water for that woman. I think there’s a void in the market right now for that kind of swimsuit.” Her appearances at openings and benefits usually cause a sensation. “When I go to business conventions for my products, it sometimes takes me over four hours to sign all the autographs and pose for pictures,” she says. “Everyone wants a photo for their store, and I never turn anyone down, no matter how long it takes.” ‘Williams has had a full life, as an athlete, movie star, mother, businesswoman. Spokesperson and an inspiration to millions. But the one thing that binds it all together, the one thing that keeps her going, is her connection to water and to swimming. “I think the joy that showed through in my swimming movies comes from my lifelong love of the water,” she explains. “No matter what I was doing, the best I felt all day was when I was swimming.” Then there’s her relationship with her children, all three of whom she taught to swim soon after birth. That’s part of her philosophy about the magic of water. “One of the reasons I gave them this gift of swimming so early in their lives was because I loved having them with me in the water. And when I saw them take to it, it was a shared joy that we had in common. Asked if she still swam, she laughed. “You know, I always get asked that. Of course I still swim. I’ll go in later when I have the pool to myself.”

Made in 2007, Good Luck Chuck is the story of Chuck (Dane Cook), a dentist who gets cursed by his school mate about never finding true love in life during a game in his childhood. If this sounded bizarre, try gulping down this- the extension of the curse is that any girl Chuck lands up with is guaranteed to find true love in her next relationship.
At first, Chuck is a bit bothered about the effects of the curse but goaded by his horny best friend Stu (Dan Fogler), he decides to make the most of it. So all he does is sleep with women beyond, before and after his working hours. All is fine until he runs into Cam (Jessica Alba) a penguin lover, so passionate, her only ambition in life is to meet Howard, a world renowned penguin expert. While Cam takes no initial liking to Chuck, it is only a matter of time before they start seeing each other. Chuck, convinced that this is the girl of his dreams wants to do everything right in this relationship and tries his best to ward off the curse with help from his friend Stu. A misunderstanding then leads to a supposedly comical situation that eventually leads to the climax. I can assure you this is not a script written by sane minds at work. Mark Helfrich, the director was a primary editor on movies such as Rush Hour, After the Sunset and Red Dragon. How and why he came about directing a movie as inferior as Good Luck Chuck is anybody's guess.
Dane Cook's macho demeanor and expertise in bedding women is very ordinary acting fare. The charm that typically exudes such a character is missing. Instead, what we have is crass lines being substituted for wit and some below-the-belt humor being flogged around by Stu. Jessica Alba, though, is a saving grace. Her smile and natural screen presence as the vivacious and accident-prone Cam is the only stuff brings a smile to your face. What would've worked better is if the pair had some natural chemistry going like Dane Cook and Kate Hudson did in the 2008 flick - My Best Friend's Girl. .
Looking back at Good Luck Chuck, there's little else to write home about. Some of the gags are in such low taste (such as the Stu's girlfriend who has three boobs) that even a cringe is not good enough to help you get rid of it. The best you can say about Good Luck Chuck is that while you're watching it you feel happy that they cast Jessica Alba in it; everything else will give you a sore eye. Read More
