Do you know those numbers? If you do, then chances are that you're anxiously awaiting each and every Wednesday with baited breath. Who are “The Others” and where did they come from? What's that hatch really about… and what are those bloody numbers all about?  And what do you do if you miss an episode?

Every week, the numbers continue to grow. Not the ones mentioned above, but viewer numbers, with more and more people tuning in to watch what has to be one of the most brilliant and thought-provoking programs in the history of television. I'm talking about “Lost,” a program that has captivated audiences around the world.

The first season now available on DVD, I highly encourage any who have yet to see this show to check it out. It appears to have something for everyone; there's some action/adventure, there's a little thriller and a sort of sci-fi spin on things. We know there's a little romance going on there (though for those of us who don't like to view the whole suck face thing, it's kept to a minimum) and the mystery is sure to intrigue. 

As a television skeptic and a staunch critic when it comes to network programming, I have to admit that this show has done what few others have ever accomplished; hooked me right off the bat, kept me guessing, and maintained my interest, even into the second season.

Equally amazing is the cast of characters; each one possessing some part, some trait, that the viewers can relate to. From the troubled hero to the bad egg, there is bound to be some character in this show that worms their way into the heart or has the viewer nodding in agreement with their plans. 

The acting is especially good, continually forcing the viewer to question motives and alliances, sometimes bringing laughter or tears. The characters all have their strengths and weaknesses, each facet brought into the light and dissected for the viewer‘s enjoyment. 

Flashbacks give small doses of insight into what created each and every one of these people, and the writers proved that they weren't swayed by pretty faces either; last season bringing the death of one of the younger main characters, and the rumor of another death coming in the second season. Fans are quick to the message boards, loudly voicing their opinions and trying to sway writers from killing off their favorites.

I'm hanging out here, and waiting for the group therapy to begin. In the meantime, rest assured that I will be tuning in to ABC every Wednesday night and sitting on the edge of my seat as they continue to throw mysteries and clues at me. What does this mean? Who was that French woman talking about? And what -are- those numbers? I see them in my sleep… 4 8 15 16 23 42. All I can do is stay tuned and hope that, eventually, the mystery is revealed.

In what one might have considered a bleak and gray world of reality shows and poor programming, Lost is a shining star to guide the viewers into the future of television. Seen every Wednesday night, at 9pm/10 Central on ABC, Season 1 episodes are now available on DVD. Looking for a good Christmas gift? This is one of the few times you can tell people to get Lost and they will thank you for it.

The movie S.W.A.T. is an action packed thriller starring Samuel Jackson and directed by Chris Lee that is a must see for an  movie viewer. The film is about the special police unti known as the Special Weapons and Tactics unit or SWAT. 

The SWAT team is called in whenever a situation such a gun fire battle or armed conflict arises that the police cannot take care of. The opening scene of the movie SWAT involves two members of the SWAT team taking out and killing an armed criminal who is holding a gun to a hostage. 

Two SWAT members, Colin Farell and his partner in the process injure the hostage which prompts the wrath of their boss in which Farell's partner is kicked off the squad and Farell is demoted to equipment duty. When the a new SWAT unit is assembled, commander Samuel Jackson, who plays the role of ”Hondo” is brought in who is free to assemble his own personel. 

On his squad he brings back Colin Farell into active duty and brings in two street savy cops, Michelle Rodriguez and LL Cool J. The team bonds together and passes thier team drill which involves rescuing fake hostages and securing an ariplane from fake terrorists, all under timed conditions. 

The main plot of the film is a billionare criminal who has just been arrested and has declared on live television that he will give $100 million to anyone who rescues him and helps him escape. This leads to hundreds of people trying to free the prisinor. As a result, the SWAT unit of Samuel Jackson's squad is called in to safely transport the prisinor to jail. As they are about to escort him to jail, their fake convoy which is mascaraded as containing the prisinor is destroyed by gun fire and explosives. 

This leads the SWAT unit to take the prisinor underground before personally escorting him by SUVs. However trouble arises when the other SWAT unit is full of traitors who along with Colin Farell's ex-partner try and free the prisinor to get the $100 million. 

Samuel Jackson's squad must track the other SWAT members down which leads them to an ariplane which is used as a getaway for the prisiner to escape to another country. There Samuel Jackson's SWAT unit must make a stand in a terrific gun battle to prevent this dangerous criminal from getting away. 

The movie SWAT is an amzing movie full of action. My only complaint was it couldve been a little longer becasue it seemed to go by so fast. Still it is a must see for any movie viewer.

This is just one more example of the superior engineering of the amazing Mazda CX-9.

Safety is also a very important concern among America's families. The Mazda CX-9 has an amazing safety list, starting with 4 airbags, and two side impact air curtains.

And Here Are some Pictures that I Found as Well

I will let everyone know upfront that I do not follow sports and that I do not play many sports related games. I do understand the rules and much of what the game is about but I just don't enjoy sports or soccer that much. And with that I will say that Worldwide Soccer Manager is not all that hard a game to figure out nor is it that difficult to master all the various parts of the game to affect the team and their playing. Now notice that I did not say that I had mastered the game and won, I found out that you can change all kinds of things for your team and affect how they play and if they win. With that said I found that Worldwide Soccer Manager 2007 is a great game and well worth buying if you enjoy sports games.

Worldwide Soccer Manager 2007 follows the other popular football manager titles from Sports Interactive as the third soccer manager game. Other Sports Interactive management games are NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2007 and Out of the Park Baseball Manager 2006. Sega of the Sonic the Hedgehog fame is the publisher for the current Sports Interactive titles.

This is probably the hardest game I have had to rate for an actual number while writing a review. Worldwide Soccer Manager 2007 does not necessarily equate into an easy pick up and play game but you need to spend some time playing to get any kind of satisfaction out of it. Not to say that winning one match or even just not losing is not wholly satisfying. The games entire premise is that you are a manager of a football team and you need to make many of the decisions of one in order for your team to succeed.

Not only telling the owners who to recruit or trade but down to the team and game level of putting in new players when one gets tired or hurt. The games are where you get to see the results of your hard work and careful homework of studying statistics but there is one other quick way. When your owners boot you out of your job you can kind of tell that the job you have been doing is not exactly up to par for the good of the team.

You start off your management career by choosing your team or teams, your manager background and other important data. During your career you will have the chance to trade players, choose to send out recruits for new players, manage all aspects of your team down to minute details and of course direct the action during the games. There is a whole host of things you get to do and manage your team but there is certainly too much to describe in a review. From talking to the board of owners where you can ask for better facilities down to individual pep talks to players during the games there is just about everything you could imagine to do as your teams manager.

Games are played out in an accelerated time that you control and during the game you can choose which of your players to start, which are your replacements and their particular style of play. During the game you will have to choose who switch out due to injury, fouls, or just from being tired. You can change the formation which is probably the most important part of your team play as this will decide what type of offense and defense your team has according to the players you use. Your tactics during the game can be at the standard that the game starts with or you can change certain instructions by changing mentality, creative freedom, passing style or many other team aspects. The formation is the positions on the field you have for each player and this is a big factor in whether you win but the players you have and their abilities also have a lot to do with your formation and team.

Your player's abilities, injuries and personal performance during each match and while they are training between will affect how they do during the match. Some players are better in some positions while using certain tactics over others is where the position, team and player's tactics and your decisions during the games make all the difference in winning. While you're not playing the match you need to supervise the training of your players, make sure the injured ones are getting attended to by your team physiotherapists and scout out replacements by using your assistant coaches and staff. Many of these features of the game are easy to figure out and use but the manual and even the forums help because there is just so much to learn about and do even if you play football or watch it as a regular fan.

A manager does not just jump in and start telling every one what to do and get instant results either, you have to build a reputation and work hard at doing the right things for your team or the fans and owners will start to question your abilities. If you continue to do things the correct way and win games you will be alright to continue to manage the team but if you lose and the team suffers from your mismanagement than the owners may just listen to those angry fans and oust you. And thus ends the career of a promising football manager.

You can always start over with the help and hints of past failures to try your luck with a saved game and try to bring your team out of a bad streak or just start the same team over from day one or another team in a new career. The game is easy enough to start more than one career to try different styles of managing and you have your choice of the several leagues and the huge selection of teams from all over the world. Once you do get the hang of managing and don't lose every game then you can start managing more than one team and work at a very promising career with the goal of having other teams vying for you as their manager.

Worldwide Soccer Manager's gameplay has you of course picking your team and other things at the start and then you do your best between games to train, recruit and manage the team. You then play your matches using one of several views like actually watching the games being played on a field or just getting the highlights in a ticker across the screen while the games statistics are displayed for you to keep an eye on. On the field view the players are small dots with your teams' colors that kick around a soccer ball in realistic looking play. There is also a commentary box running across the bottom of the screen that has the important moments of the match so you don't miss things.

The games engine takes all the players skills, injuries and particular state of conditioning into count when playing as well as the other teams to decide how the play goes. The game also uses physics because we are talking about a real world event and the soccer ball does react accordingly using physics to the kicks and such in play. You also get to pause the game to choose new tactics while playing or to swap out players. If a player gets injured enough that he cannot play you need to decide who to replace him with. During play you should also watch the statistics of players to swap them out when they start to get tired and not play up to their full potential. You have a whole assortment of tactical play styles preset for you to use in matches or you can try your skill at making your own and saving them to use in games.

The events that occur out of a match like injury status of each player, recruiting and scouting, training and the board of owners meetings that are kind of important for you to attend to keep an eye on are displayed as news events and separate screens for you to read and save as notes. The news events will also include other teams' rankings and games along with any important news about other team players injuries that may affect your future games with them. There is a note screen for you to type in reminders or notes in the game for your convenience so you don't have to keep paper and pencil at hand during your playing.
They have thought of so much for Worldwide Soccer Manager 2007 that it is pretty staggering when you first start looking around at all the various parts and try to figure out all of what you are supposed to do. But the game comes with help in the form of a quick tutorial which is actually a help section that covers the basics and the manual is another source of gameplay advice along with the Sports Interactive website forums.

The games graphics and sound were pretty good with easy to understand screens for the various parts of managing. On the main page when you start your session of managing will be some pull down menus under the headings across the top of your screen that is there at all times. These four main menus start with your Manager menu for things that you do personally; news, board room, scouting, training, your notebook and such. The World menu lets you check out your competition from all the leagues and teams playing soccer around the world. The Options menu has all your game options and playing preferences on it as well as where you save your game and quit. There is another pull down menu for bookmarks that lets you place a bookmark on any one menu page you want for quick access to that page.

When you are in any one menu there is also a menu tree on the side of your screen as well as the pull down menus across the top for you to quickly find and go to any particular screen you want. There are also icons across the bottom with the main areas to go to for another way to jump to different screens. They have added all these different ways to quickly get around to the different areas and it is things like this that show they have extensively tested and used people's suggestions from their previous games for creating the interface and screens of the Worldwide Soccer Manager 2007.

The sound in Soccer manager was one area that was not left out in its entirety but they have no background sounds or music playing while in many parts of the game. During the matches they have the usual cheering you would expect to hear at any sporting event. That was all there is to the sound but it is not necessarily a down grade for the sound. It would be very difficult to come up with some kind of music or background sounds to have playing while doing your work as a manager so they just left it out and concentrated on the real heart of the game and all the various ways to help you effectively manage your teams.

Worldwide Soccer Manager 2007 is very highly rated when it comes to value for this type of game. They have kept many of the aspects that are important to managing a sports team as simple as possible and yet keep you so involved with your team that everything you do has some effect. You need to learn so much about the team and all the aspects of the sport of soccer in order to play well but they have made it so easy and interesting. Just playing for a season or two will get you familiarized with the game and how to effectively manage a team so playing beyond that will become more enjoyable while you're trying to win at your league level. Although this type of game is not necessarily one I would go out and purchase I did enjoy it and would happily play other sports manager titles that are of this quality and so easy to learn how to play. I know it sounds like I would not buy World Soccer Manager 2007 but if you are into team sports games of any kind this is one game that is worth looking at.

Worldwide Soccer Manager 2007 is a great sports simulation game that puts you in charge of your own soccer teams. You get to choose all the aspects of team management and get to live with the consequences of those choices. Using many real world players you will be sure to enjoy the thrill of winning and the determination to do better if your team does not fair that well in the league of your choice.

I am new to Tiesto, but I have heard his name before.  I don’t know his work or that of any artists in his genre; however, I have been very curious about the entire scene, so I was interested in giving this DVD a spin. 

Tiesto in Concert 2 is from a show recorded on 04/10/30 at the Gelredome Arnhem in Holland before a crowd of tens of thousands of fans, who are all thoroughly enjoying themselves as they dance for three hours straight, but Tiesto can’t take full credit for their bliss because if you combine their stamina, the show elements and the fact that they were in Holland, it’s a safe bet that at least a couple of people were on drugs, really, really good ones.  I know I would have been had I been there and probably should have been while watching the DVD to fully enjoy the experience.

A lot goes on aside from the spinning of music and the tweaking of knobs.  Tiesto and his team have created quite a visual display inside the Gelredome.  He uses the concert basics: lights, lasers, fireworks and video screens to great effect.   I especially enjoyed the lights going out in “Alaska” and lasers cutting through the darkness.  A circle of video screens surrounds the DJ booth with images that project and pulsate in sync with the music.    

Unfortunately, it appears he used a different team to put together the DVD, because the disc as a whole is a disappointment due to its visuals.  The edits happen at too fast and furious a pace, which does work with some songs, but not three hours.  While they might have been trying to recreate that club feeling as your head bops around and eyes catch different images, it falls flat to the home viewer.  The cameras are set up all over the Gelredome and are constantly on the move: panning, booming, tracking, losing focus as they zoom in and out.  We get to see the show from different locations, but it is frustrating because there’s barely enough time to get your bearings.  I wanted to experience these places, but the director and editor had other ideas as if to compensate for the fact that a man in a booth isn’t much to look at.

Things got a bit odd when other performers joined Tiesto. Clowns and acrobats a la Cirque du Soleil joined him during “Magikal Circus,” which was too obvious a prop.  Matt Hales from Aqualung came out at about the halfway point to sing “UR.”  The show’s momentum came to an abrupt halt, creating the unintentional perfect bathroom break.  The strangest guests were a pair of magicians during “Stop 9.5” and “Everlast.”  They were doing sleight of hand, coin and ring tricks.  The people at the back couldn’t have been too impressed.

It is a lot to take in one sitting and for a novice it’s hard to tell what is going on musically.  I can tell when patterns, tempos and sounds change, but at times it's difficult to understand when one song ends and another begins.  Some of the longer songs are made up of different movements that don’t appear to be linked.  If I couldn’t see the different chapters on the DVD, I wouldn’t know where one song ended and another began. 

Fans of Tiesto will probably enjoy Tiesto in Concert 2 a great deal since he is at the top of his game, but this DVD is not the best way to get to know him or his music.  Look for a CD of this concert instead.  I was surprised there wasn’t one included so I could take the music with me. 

I enjoyed most of the music, but I was hoping for more variety.  All of it sounded like a European nightclub, which grew stale after three hours.  I would recommend seeing Tiesto in concert.  The performance is probably a blast to experience as opposed to sitting around and watching it from a couch.

Take a minute of your time to read this well written blog. As always, we thank our writers.

Spring is finally here and you're ready to hit the field for soccer practice. However, there are some things you'll need to do before jumping into that first drill session or soccer game of the year.

Every soccer buff needs to prep his or her body for training season, especially after a long and chilly winter. Your body needs time to adjust to the warmer weather, and you'll also want to brush up on drills so that you can start training hard when coach calls practice. Get ready for one of your best soccer seasons yet with the following training tips.

Map out a six-week plan. Six weeks is the minimum amount of time it takes to get your body into tip-top shape for a new sport. Dedicated soccer players start training indoors well before the first day of practice, so get a head start by joining an indoor soccer league or practicing in an empty basketball court. Work on your endurance and play a few mock games with friends to get your muscles back into the soccer habit.

Build your skills with drills. Use your free time to start warming up your body and mind to do drills. You know that coach is going to demand them from you on the first day of practice, so why not be prepared this year? Focus on dribbling, passing, first touch drills and other maneuvers so your muscles will be well-trained for each move on Day One of practice.

Increase stamina and endurance. Hit the gym for some intensive workouts that will get you in shape for soccer, fast. Being able to move quickly and swiftly is essential for success in soccer, and you can get your body into soccer-ready shape by doing some circuit training workouts at the gym. Build up stamina and endurance by alternating cardio exercises such as running, sprinting, jogging and rope jumping with weight lifting and stretching sessions. Work with a personal trainer if you want to learn how to use different machines or design a workout strategy for your soccer prep plan.

Watch your diet. Cut back on the junk food and start loading up on those leafy greens and lean protein to fuel your muscles and to get an extra boost of energy for those training sessions ahead. Eating a high-quality diet when you're training and playing will help you perform better and keep your energy levels up. Cut back on the soda, extra sugar and unhealthy fast food meals and focus on eating healthy. Grilled chicken salads, steamed vegetables, brown rice, oatmeal and granola bars are some great food choices for the dedicated soccer player.

Pick up the right gear. Get a professional shoe fitting for your soccer cleats in case your shoe size has changed since last year. Properly-fitting shoes are critical to your performance, so make sure you're wearing the right style and size for your feet. You might also stock up on socks, shorts, sweatshirts and a windbreaker for those rainy days on the field.
