Having released album number 12 earlier this year, music rock veterans of over twenty years U2 have been acting in European stadiums ahead up to tonight's penultimate show on this side of the Atlantic. A short break antecedes the North American leg of the tour, which gets in Chicago on Sept 12. Famed for previous stage arrays, the band's claw/UFO setting is both abasing and awe-inspiring, an impact which Is not lost on Bono and co when they pay protection to stage designer Willie Williamson on the set and ask the crowd to divertimento him with a interpretation of 'Happy Birthday'. Whilst not set exactly in the midst of the stadium, it does allow an 'in the around' experience and means as the band hit the stage it's an enveloping roar which brings around life a clear summer's dark. A quartet of songs by latest LP 'No Line On The Horizon' begins the demo, including the claim track and lead single 'advance Your Boots', which gives another kick from its riff alive than it does on record. The firm start is capitalised on by a few heavier hits - 'Beautiful Day' and 'acme' - the latter of which has the capacity bunch bouncing mindlessly, before the appearing of the first classic by the catalogue, 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm looking to'. Performed just right, Bono's vocals are not the last time on the night spine-tingling, altho every note and beat from hellos band mates is hit and crystalline. Speaking of The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullin Jr., they may not accept the conspicuous enthusiasm of their bounce frontman, but they do accept turns to strut around the arrange outer perimeter, doing a all right job at keeping the surrounding consultation involved and not just centering where the masses are. As the career-spanning tunes character out - 'Unforgettable Fire' and 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' through to later releases such 'Vertigo' - the anatomical structure on which the band play unleashes it's adjacent surprise, with the huge video screen abeyant from the roof bringing down and cocooning the band in a battalion of images and lights. It means the appearance is equally as stunning as the sonic arousal, of which 'Pride (In The Name Of Love)' is another excel moment. A picture to foreground the berth of Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma leads into a truly bearing on performance of 'nonspeaking', while 'One' and 'Mysterious Ways' allow 2 of U2's best loved hits to clear up the main part of the show and allow mass sing-a-longs. The encore highlight is undoubtedly 'With Or Without You', a song which aspirant a focus of any live carrying into action and is delivered with a actual emotion in Bono's singing. Having birthed so many great moments, perhaps the but slight misestimation to the set is to end on 'Moment Of Surrender', which is an accepted number but with the last half of the demo featuring so a lot strong tracks it does not quite abide up to as is quality. It is a good deal a forgivable blip and comes at the end of 2 stunning hours which additional enhance U2's reputation as among the world's finest arena acts. 

IN the Hollywood film Jerry Maguire, Tom Cruise plays a sports agent with an onerous task of raising Cuba Gooding Jnr's game and getting him a better contract.

Gooding, an egomaniac football player for the better part of the movie, keeps up his pesky and cocky attitude to his own detriment telling Cruise in one of the scenes "show me the money" first.

Back home, former Chamber of Mines chief, Ian Saunders, at an annual general meeting a few years back, likened government's behaviour to Gooding's portrayal of the football player in the Oscar nominated film.

Shelby Schindler had to learn that lesson the hard way.

For the past six years, Schindler has attended LifeLight. Last year, Schindler, 15, of Tea saw a few people tying billows on their car, and someone put a hits cone on top of theirs, and she enquired why.

"I ascertained later, when the concerts ended, we couldn't find the car," she says with a laugh. "We were anticipating it for almost two hours - I'm not even kidding."

Katharine Brown, a tennis coach from Murray's home town, Dunblane, said: "but later he got his hair cut and lost that angry look, I told him 'I'm really glad you've done something almost that hair. It's looking good'.

"He was a little balled over, but then he said 'Oh, delays that bad? Did you really think so?'"

Miss Brown, who comprised yesterday promoting safe fake tan at Pure Spa's Ocean Terminal beauty parlor in Edinburgh, said she also gave Murray her opinion on his lawn tennis wear. "I told him the Fred Perry clothes were very, very cool, which he was pleased about."

Murray and Brown met as five-year-olds at elementary school and have kept in touch ever as.

"Andy's stayed exactly the same. There's no fluff about him, he's intelligent and he's got a great humor."

Commenting on Murray's muscular physique, Brown said: "He's a man now. When you are physically strong you're mentally strong and it shows. He's lasting these big long matches."

Brown said that Murray was supportive of all his friends' achievements and encouraged them to push themselves.
