There is no doubt that MMORPGs today are getting more and more technically impressive. With every new MMORPG release developers are raising the bar higher in terms of graphics, sound and game play, but unfortunately developers aren't putting much attention to crafting skills. An MMORPG without player interaction isn't an MMORPG at all, and what better way to make players interact other than encouraging them to trade amongst each other. Crafting skills can add a lot of depth to a game, and quite frankly, an MMORPG without a crafting system by today's standards is pretty lacking. My chief complaint about crafting skills is that developers don't put much effort into them and usually end up putting something together that feels cheap and unimpressive.

Games like MapleStory and Fly For Fun are fine examples of how crafting should not be done. MapleStory has absolutely no player interaction in its crafting system. In order to craft weapons/armor players need to talk to an NPC and bring that NPC items gathered from monsters. Players don't actually have to craft the items themselves, they simply have to bring a bunch of items to an NPC and the NPC crafts the item for you. Sure this... 'works' to some degree, but it doesn't encourage player interaction and since you have to bring a bunch of items to an NPC it's the same as completing quests for items, and because of that the game has an extremely limited number of craftable items. The system is so lousy that players rarely even participate in it.

The game that I'm most impressed with in terms of crafting skills is Luminary: Rise of the Goonzu. The game has a really simple crafting system. Collect items and use certain components to make armor and weapons. The beauty of Luminary is the significance of crafting skills in the game. In order to buy weapons/armor you HAVE to buy it from another player through the game's auction house or directly from a crafter, as NPCs do not sell weapons or armor. This sort of system makes item crafters extremely valuable and actually useful in the game.

MMOs today need to work a bit harder on developing solid crafting skills. Too many MMO games simply have uninspiring crafting skills.

Many players in Hyboria have stumbled across this at one point or another, the topic of Age of Conan leveling guides. Some argue that it's a waste of money and that they could 'do it faster themselves', while others debate that it's a great addition to any player's arsenal. One of these two points of view is right, and no, it's not the view that they are a waste of money.

An Age of Conan leveling guide may not be the greatest thing since sliced bread, considering it can't heat up your food within a matter of seconds, or wash your clothes while you're away; but it certainly can help you. Contrary to popular belief, using an Age of Conan leveling guide is not a 'noob-like' tactic. The guides are developed by professional gamers for use by all gamers, whether they're professional as well, or they're just starting out. Which ever type of gamer you are, a guide can truly be a valuable asset to your arsenal.

Age of Conan guides; leveling guides in particular, are developed with high standards in ease of use, and understandability. Most provide step by step paths, capable of being understood by even the newest player. They swiftly guide you through the eighty levels with a speed faster than the greater margin of players, and even faster than some players considered "hard-core". Some include nifty features making it so easy for you to level, it's almost unbelievable.

With an Age of Conan leveling guide as part of your complete breakfast, you'll be soaring past your friends in no time. They'll be astonished as you fly through character after character at a blazing pace.

The Unmaking Of An Athlete Part Two

Deutsche Grammophon Centenary Collection, 1978-1987 (Box Set)

This is the decade when Deutsche Grammophon discovered America. Though the label's motherland is still well represented by Herbert von Karajan's unveiling young Anne-Sophie Mutter in Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5 and Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 (both played with the freshness of youth), Carlo Maria Giulini brought the yellow label to Los Angeles in a much-heralded return to opera with Verdi's Falstaff. The mellifluous though not always dramatically attuned dream cast features Barbara Hendricks (Nannetta), Katia Ricciarelli (Alice Ford), and Renato Bruson as the most poetic Falstaff on record. Leonard Bernstein's all-star but problematic Candide and West Side Story recordings are heard in well-chosen excerpts, and the one-act opera Trouble in Tahiti is reconstituted from his opera A Quiet Place (in which it was dispersed and imbedded). Elsewhere, Ivo Pogorelich's early Chopin Sonata No. 2, Ravel's "Gaspard de la nuit," and Prokofiev's Sonata No. 6 show a musician of staggering imagination limited by unrefined technique. Horowitz in Moscow, Krystian Zimerman's Chopin Ballades and Daniel Barenboim's Saint-Saëns Symphony No. 3 have all aged well, though Gidon Kremer's Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto and Giuseppe Sinopoli's Mendelssohn "Italian" Symphony paired with Schumann's Symphony No. 2 have surprisingly little to say. Mischa Maisky's Bach and Vivaldi recordings (many with Martha Argerich on modern piano) have lots to say, but not to the historically informed performance crowd. --David Patrick Stearns
Customer Review: Superb Schumann, etc.
Seven years ago I was in a Vienna music shop and passed on the opportunity to buy the original Sinopoli recording of the Schumann Second - my favorite musical work - with the Vienna Philharmonic. Until this collection was released, I had never heard this particular 2nd Symphony recording which is now truly my favorite (and I have them all). It even led me to find the original release (which includes the Manfred Overture) by searching the Internet for used CDs. Sinopoli and Vienna beautifully convey the struggle and ultimate triumph of this great symphony. The other recordings are also among DG's best and helped to fill in several repertoire gaps in my collection. I highly recommend the entire set. Thanks to DGG for reissuing these great recordings, especially Sinopoli's Schumann.
Customer Review: Who says there was nothing good in the 1980s?
Not enough can be said for this marvellous compilation of some of the finest recordings from 1978-87! Nevertheless, I will try to do some justice and start at the beginning. Anne-Sophie Mutter's Mozart concerto and stellar Bruch set the tone for this set. Very few recordings have the depth of insight into the Mozart that she does, and for such a young woman! The next disc is dedicated to another violinist par excellence: Gidon Kremer, whose Tchaikowsky concerto will blow you out of your chair, even compared with the Perlman recording of the same work. Disc three focuses on Daniel Barenboim the conductor, although the last track features one of his finest recorded piano works, the paraphrase of Rigoletto by Liszt. The two recordings featured are (brace yourself), the Perlman/Paris recording of the Lalo Symphonie Espagnole, the likes of which have not been known before or since, and the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony with Chicago and the organ of Chartres. The little catch in the Saint-Saens is that the organ part and orchestral work were recorded a month seperate from each other and across the Atlantic, but if you didn't read the liner notes, it would be impossible to tell; the editing is so well done! Ivo Pogorelich's Gaspard de la Nuit gives the work new meaning, not to say any less of his Chopin Second sonata. Giulini's conducting of Verdi's Falstaff is a force not to be reckoned with, with flawless casting to boot. I would expect more from Sinopoli than the Schumann delivers, however this is partly DG's fault for picking one of his least successful recordings. The Bernstein disc is all of his own music, including highlights from the splendid Candide and Trouble in Tahiti. Have a laugh over Carreras' pronunciation in West Side Story (why cast him as the American! ) and the other thoroughly inappropriate voices for this work, but remember that Bernstein was given the cold shoulder on this work and was trying to make it appeal to the classical crowd that had unfortunately shunned it on Broadway. Maisky's cello playing is next, with the three sonatas originally for harpsichord and viola da gamba being played on modern cello with Martha Argerich at the piano. These are excellent recordings if inauthentic, but are certainly the best modernizations available, as are the two Vivaldi concerti with Orpheus. Saving the best for last, Vladimir Horowitz's landmark 1986 return to Moscow is no less breathtaking on the 1000th listening than on the first. There may be no better single CD of piano music in existance; the simplest track "Träumerei" from Schumann's Kinderszenen is utter perfection and emotion molded into one. Zimerman holds his own beautifully, though, with some of the best Chopin Ballades to be had. True, they lack some of the momentum and drive of the Rubinstein recordings, but the sheer technical ability displayed along with absolute control (and they're not at all skimpy on the emotion either!), they are in the top five recordings of these works ever. Add to this his recording of the Liszt E-flat concerto with Seiji Ozawa/Boston Symphony, which is flawless. The cherry on top (!) is the Liszt Totentanz, which is so often played as an overly flashy, bangy, loud and raucous showpiece. Not so here, even in such a murderously difficult and crashing work, Zimerman displays control, even if it means wrestling the work to the floor. This set is pricey, no doubt, but well worth it (and the sore arms you'll get carrying it home, another good reason to mail-order it) for the unmatched brilliance.

From an impressive opening day draw with champions Manchester United, to an embarrassing defeat away to West Ham in their most recent match, it is just as unbelievable as it is ridiculous that Newcastle United have bridged the gap between ecstasy and despair in a matter of weeks. No one would have envisaged such a situation just one week into the season, when the second coming of the messiah, Kevin Keegan, appeared to be gathering pace. With a full pre-season under his belt spent with the squad, and some sparkling performances from new summer acquisitions, the signs were that Newcastle United might finally be able to challenge the Big Four in English football.

Unfortunately, it has all come unstuck at the North East club from England, since Keegan decided to abandon his beloved club after disagreements with owner Mike Ashley and sporting director Dennis Wise. The man established that it was mission impossible to lead a club to success when he had no control over the hiring and firing of players, and every player in his squad seemed to be on sale during the transfer window at the start of the season. With such turmoil becoming a constant every season, it is no wonder that many critics are predicting certain demise for the famous Newcastle United, which in short, means relegation next summer.

There are many reasons that have led the pundits to come to such a conclusion. First and foremost, is the state that the club is in right now, without a new manager installed in the post. Mike Ashley has appointed assistant manager Chris Hughton as cover in the interim, but the man is clearly not suitable for such a position. Two matches have passed since the move, and the expected two defeats have also followed. The club needs a strong manager to take the reins and lead it to safety and stability. But that is unlikely to happen, as no one qualified enough would want to be faced with a similar situation that Keegan himself had given up hope on.

The owner is also trying to get rid of the club as soon as possible, with the price the only stumbling block. Mike Ashley has accused fans of driving him out of bankrolling his beloved club to success. But with his move to abandon Newcastle United, it only means that the club no longer has access to funds required to improve, until there are new owners established. But the rich are avoiding the club that is now compared to the toxic assets that American banks are trying to get rid of without success in the current economic gloom, and without willing parties to bankroll them, Newcastle as a club will be unable to move forward. Existing players that might still have value on the transfer market might have to be sold to raise funds to support a bloated payroll. Without quality players to play them out of their current plight, it could only point to a season of struggle.

And finally, Newcastle United fans are also proving to be an obstacle to success. It is a widely acknowledged fact, outside the club, that the Magpies fans are one of the most deluded in English football. They believe that their club is a giant in English football, which cannot be further from the truth. The last time they lifted a competitive trophy was in the 1950s, and since then they have enjoyed extended spells in the lower divisions. That has not stopped the fans from being one of the most vocal, and threatening the club management whenever they attempt something that might bring pain to the sentimentality that has so often blocked their path to glory, instead of being clear to the realization that football is now a business. Painful decisions might have to be made in order for long term success. With all these factors in place, and seemingly unsolvable in the current climate, it might not be too far fetched to expect Newcastle United spending next season against the likes of Barnsley and Blackpool, instead of Manchester United and Liverpool.

How A Noisy Group Of Kids Could Double Your Bank Balance This Year

The day Brazil was here

How can a soccer game change a nation's destiny? How can the passion for another country's national team surpass the personal and collective conflicts of everyday life? Now imagine the Five Time World Champion Brazilian team playing with Haiti's national team to promote peace in a country going through a period of atavistic misery. UN troops, led by Brazil, try to maintain peace and order. The informal economy rules the streets. Hunger rages. Only music, faith and football seems to keep them alive. In this environment, the presence of the Brazilian National Team served as an excuse for hope and euphoria - and it is important to ask - what other purpose will it serve? What kind of peace can come out of this match?

You have to admire the Chinese. Their ability to knock up a wall and eat with sticks is impressive enough, but it's their work in the field of insightful proverb creation where they truly excel.

'Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day; teach him how to fish and he'll bore you in conversation' is one of theirs, and never a truer word was spoken.

Personally, the phrase i use most often is 'good things come in little packages', but it is a blatant lie. Good things do come to those who wait though; and after a four year hiatus, the Premiership trophy is on its way back to Old Trafford.

United can wrap up the title at Eastlands against a Manchester City side who have only scored 10 goals at home all season. Another blank for Psycho's mob will leave them with the worst record since the latest offering from the sexually ambiguous Robbie Williams. I'm only going one way in this match; United will see off a Barton-less City at 8/15.

It's been another fantastic season for Sam Allardyce, if we choose to disregard the odd episode of Panorama. The threat of a Glasgow kiss has forced the big man to walk away from the Reebok; West Ham can take full advantage at 5/4.

The press believe that the Hammers were only spared a points deduction for rule-breaking as they pleaded guilty at the last minute. I guess throwing your hands up to a mistake is always the right course of action; I await a statement from Mr and Mrs McCaffrey. I'm admitting to a little interest in Tevez to score at any time at 15/8.

Arsenal and Chelsea meet for the first time since the Snarling Cup final where Adedayor saw red for looking like Eboue. An Arsenal win over a deflated Chelsea resembles value at 19/10.

I would hate to see anyone lose their job, with the possible exception of Tim Lovejoy, but the omens do not look good for Glenn Roeder. Fat Freddie has allegedly been courting Sven Goran Eriksson (It's a step up for Sven after Ulrika) and Big Sam is also in the frame. A Newcastle win over Blackburn at 13/10 will keep Roeder in his position, for now.

Gareth Southgate is better than Pele; the Middlesbrough manager can keep Wood on a permanent basis. I'm getting up early to back Boro at 5/2 to beat Wigan.

A few members of the betting community are still sore with Harry Redknapp. It's not a result of the great 'next Pompey manager' sting of 2005; it's the fact that he's almost certainly partly responsible for Jamie. All will be forgiven if Pompey leave Goodison Park with a point at 12/5.

The Villa have a 100% record at home to Sheffield United in the Premiership, but admittedly, that form is older than Helen Chamberlain. History is against the Blades, recent form is also against them, but perhaps most tellingly of all, the G man is against them. The Villa will turn it on at 11/10.

Lefty lunatic Michael Moore made the point that soldiers on the front line are rarely sons of influential people, but Prince Harry's decision to toil for the oil has bucked that trend. His old man is understandably anxious though; keep your chin up Major. It'll be a major surprise if Spurs fail to beat Charlton; I'm getting involved at a slick 7/5.

The last three matches between Reading and Watford may have finished goalless, but the Hornets are now easier to beat than a Frenchman in Manchester. The Royals can consolidate their UEFA Cup spot at a fighting 4/9.

Appointing a boss on a temporary basis can occasionally pay dividends, but Lawrie Sanchez is the worst caretaker since Ian Huntley. Liverpool have won their last two meets with Fulham by four clear goals, a great week for the Reds is about to get better at 13/10.

Banking the cash from last week's winning accer may appeal to some, but I plan to roll over the profit like it was Kate Moss. Newcastle, Reading, West Ham and Aston Villa are the four good-things, the payout is a titillating 14/1.

Make up games include all kinds of make up including eyeshadow, various applications of mascara, lipsticks, blush, glitter, face paint and any number of other glamour item you need to create a fabulous look.

Anime Games
There are many games based on your favorite anime characters. Some are dress up games where you can actually dress the various characters of Naruto or Sailor Moon, but others are flash games where you have the opportunity to take characters through different ordeals and overcome challenges.

Cooking Games
Like the kitchen? Cooking games can help you perfect your skills in the kitchen or on the grill. You're timed in certain events and you race against the clock to build the perfect burger or grill up a perfect steak.

Team Fortress 2, the long awaited sequel to the popular QuakeWorld mod from 1996, does its predecessors more then enough justice. Like the original, TF2 uses class based combat and pits up online players against each other in a number of different game modes, but this time in a very cartoon like fashion.

Probably the most appealing aspect of the game is the overall look and style. If you were to have both TF2 and Team Fortress Classic (TFC) playing beside each other, just by looking you would never figure that they were related. TFC had a very simple, basic army style; nothing special. As for TF2, the graphics are such a huge presence and are pulled off extremely well. Its "living cartoon" style, as I like to call it, is not only appealing to the eyes, but also adds a lot of humor to the game. If you were splattered into pieces by an enemy rocket, then you are treated with a properly labeled snapshot of your disassembled body parts. Even small things, like an engineer setting up one of his 4 gadgets, are enough to make you stop and watch as they are automatically assembled before your eyes.

As for the actual game play, there may not be any single player mode, but TF2 offers a lot in terms of variety online. There are 9 very different classes to choose from and switch between at any point during a match. The 9 character are split into 3 categories; Offence, Defense and Support.

In the Offensive category you'll find the Scout, the Solider and the Pyro. The main role of these characters is to charge right into the enemy base without any support. Under Defensive, you'll find the Demo Man, the Heavy, and the Engineer. Obviously, these characters were designed mainly to defend control or capture points. All three are able to lay down loads of damage over a long period of time - the Demo Man with his sticky bombs, the Heavy with his chain gun and the Engineer with his sentry - but still require lots of support. This brings us to, well, the Support characters. First we have the Medic. The Medic has low health, and can't dish out much damage, but if you want to do more helping then harming, the Medic is for you. His Medi Gun is used to heal allies up to 150% of there starting health and can also grant temporary invincibility to both the Medic and his healing target. Next is the Sniper, whose name says it all. The Sniper uses his Bolt Action Sniper Rifle to pick off enemies one by one. His machine pistol and Kukri knife are used to defend against close range attackers who are tired of constantly being reminded that they are a victim of a head shot. And last, but certainly not least, is the Spy. The Spy's main objective is to get in, and get out. Using his cloaking and disguising abilities, the spy can infiltrate the enemies defenses undiscovered, and use "Electro Sappers" to knock out all of an Engineer's gadgets, then finish him off with a backstab with his butterfly knife.

As you can plainly see, there's something, or someone rather, for everyone in TF2. Each character has there own feel and personality which opens the game up to more then just the hardcore FPS audience. All of the characters voices are very distinct and memorable; you'd never mistaken a distant ally Pryo for a Medic when he yells to warn you of a nearby enemy Spy, because the Medic has a strong German accent and the Pyro...well who knows what the Pyro's saying. Enough about the characters, what about the environments? One thing that can be said about TF2's level selection is that it's few but still fantastic. At release there may have only been about 6 different levels to play in, but all of them were and still are extremely fun to experience, and now with so many user generated maps there's even more reason to keep playing, not to mention the fact that Valve is preparing new content to be released in the near future, including new maps, weapons and game play modes.

Overall

Fantastic art direction, unique characters and weapons, and overall excellent game play. I truly feel that TF2 will be the most fun people will have playing a FPS since "Goldeneye 007"; and let me tell you, I played a lot of Goldeneye back in the day. With its eye catching visuals and character based humor, this is a must have for any PC gamer looking for some online multiplayer action and a hell of a good time.

Nevertheless there are also other opinions. To a great number of melee classes enchanting/disenchanting and mining are highly proficient ways to make money. Well, this is not all since with the passage of years more and more ways of secrets are coming to the fore. Do you know that in the recent days another secondary profession with a great has arrived? It is fishing and is learnt to pay off very well when it remains high enough. However, fishing as a tactic is hardly ever used by the characters.

Texas Holdem is basically a variation of seven card stud. There are two pocket cards dealt to each player. These are both dealt face down. There are five cards placed in the middle of the table. The flop are the first three cards that are turned over. The five cards that are placed in the center are all community cards. This means that you can use any of these cards to make your poker hand, but you must use the two pocket cards.

Poker hands are always five cards. The highest hand you can get in Texas Holdem is a Royal Flush, which is basically a straight flush with an Ace high. This is all cards in a row of the same suit. This is a rare occurrence in stud poker, which Texas Holdem is. Stud poker means that you cannot get any more cards after the deal is done. Draw poker is when you can toss away cards and get three more (four if you have an Ace).

If you do not have a pair of Jacks or better after the flop, go out. This is common strategy in poker. A pair is most likely not going to win a game of Texas Holdem poker. Chances are that the winner will have three of a kind or better.

Next to a straight flush, the best hand in poker is four of a kind followed by a full house. A full house is three of a kind of one card and a pair of another card. All of these hands are big winners in Texas Holdem poker.

A flush is the next best hand you can get after a full house. A flush is all the same suit of cards. This is followed by a straight which is five cards in a row. Three of a kind is next, then two pair and then a pair. In some cases, three of a kind wins a Texas Holdem game.

After the flop is the turn. This is when the fourth card of the community cards is turned over. One way to ascertain whether or not to stay in the game is to see how many people are betting. If you have three of a kind and two other people at the table are raising their bets, it is best to get out a chances are that one of them has a better hand than you. If everyone is folding, which is dropping out, then you might stay in for the river, which is the fifth and final card in the Texas Holdem game.

One of the things that makes Texas Holdem poker such an exciting game is the anticipation surrounding the community cards. The flop, turn and river are all part of the excitement of the game. However, if you are not sitting with a pair after the flop, you are better off to go out of the game.

Customer Review: The Best Soccer Team
Its a good documentary, but i did not gave it five stars because the last cup disputed is not recorded and i felt the dvd has some "gaps" in it. Never the less it is a great dvd to watch and learn some stuff about the best mexican team in history!!! If you are a fan this is a Must Have, and if you are no fan of sports, or soccer this is a good oportunity to see why some of us go crazy every time we see a game, you can say that you will feel and get to see "what lies under this club" and what makes passion come around.

More and more people are getting hooked on poker, especially these days when there are a number of poker websites offering free tutorials and games. Like any other gambling activity, poker is one game that promises excitement and thrills. If you're new at poker, it's best to learn about its rules, specifically poker hands order, which you need to master in order to make winning combinations.

Poker, a type of card game, requires players to bet on the value of the hand, which is the card combination in their possession, by placing a certain amount of money into the central pot. The one who has the highest hand or remains in the hand after all the other players have folded is the winner. The combination is determined by the established poker hands order or hand rankings hierarchy.

The best possible high hands come in this poker hands order: royal flush, straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pair, one pair, and any hand not yet mentioned but wins in view of the possessor's bluffing prowess that makes all the other players fold.

A royal flush combination is composed of a straight from a ten to an ace which should be five cards of the same suit. In poker, suit does not really matter so that when there are equally strong hands, the pots are split.

A straight flush is any straight, meaning consecutive cards, with all five cards of the same suit.
A four of a kind consists of four cards of the same rank. If there are two players who have the same four of a kind, a fifth card will be dealt to each, and the one with the bigger card wins the pot.

A full house is composed of three cards of the same rank plus two cards of the same rank.

After the full house, the flush is the highest hand in the poker hands order. A flush consists of five cards, which are not consecutive, of the same suit; remember that five consecutive cards of the same suit make up a straight flush. If there are two or more players with flushes, the highest card in each of their hands determines the rank of the flush and the winner.

A straight consists of five consecutive cards that are of different suits. The ace card can function as a low card or a high card, depending on how it can better serve the player.

A three of a kind consists of three cards of the same rank. The best possible combination of a three of a kind is three aces plus a king and a queen.

Two pair is composed of two cards of the same rank plus two other cards of the same rank. The best possible combination of a two pair is a pair of aces plus a pair of kings. In this example, the aces define the rank of the two pair versus other two pair combinations of other players.

One pair is basically five cards that contain a pair of the same rank.

Now you know the poker hands order. Get ready to play and win!

The Complete Results and Line-ups of the European Football Championships 1958-2004

Strength is the number one leveller in sport. Therefore, strength training is the single most important component of a soccer player's conditioning program.

For too long the world has been focused on aerobic training and endurance activity. Research on the benefits of strength training has been impossible to come by and never conducted on the advanced training methods that the world's elite soccer players employ today. Consequently, strength training was ignored. Instead the world focused on improving aerobic capacity.

Boxing and martial arts use weight categories for a reason. They aim to prevent unfair mismatches between fighters of dramatically different weights and sizes. The basic idea is that a heavier fighter is stronger and more dangerous. Men don't fight women for the same reason.

The reason for this is simple. Strength is the number one advantage in sport. Weight classes and sex categories are simply an attempt to filter athletes into strength classes. However, strength wasn't and couldn't be tested to prove this assumption.

Consequently, a lighter athlete could gain a massive advantage if they had more strength. This makes strength training the most important component in soccer preparation.

Being stronger (as opposed to heavier or bigger) is the number one advantage in most sports. It makes the difference.

Improving strength should be the primary objective in your sports training program.

Still not convinced how important strength is?

Let's look outside soccer for a moment (only because the data just hasn't been produced yet). 40 years ago the average football lineman weighed 250 pounds and ran 40 years in 5.2 seconds. Supposedly this was a human's genetic limit.

And then came strength training.

Now that same lineman runs 40 yards in 4.4 seconds. A 15% improvement when genetic limits had supposedly been reached. And this is for elite athletes. Just imagine the improvements for Joe Average!

Soccer players now have no choice but to lift weights to best prepare their bodies for a long, competitive season.Even now many coaches think that strength training causes their players to become muscle-bound and counterproductive to speed, fitness and good technique. They are wrong.

It has been proven that athletic performance depends on qualities of muscular strength. This is because strength builds the foundation for all other athletic qualities.

The best example of this is in strength's impact on speed.

If you are not strong relative to your bodyweight you will never be able to run fast. This is because all aspects of proper running technique require high levels of muscular strength. For example, if you can't achieve proper arm swing or knee drive then you can't run fast.

Likewise, university studies have found a high correlation between both jumping ability and agility and relative body strength. In other words, a soccer player that is strong "pound for pound" will be able to jump higher and move quicker compared to weaker opponents.

The body has approximately 639 muscles that are all designed to move body parts. Nothing other than muscle can cause movement. In other words, you can only move when muscles contract. Strong muscles equal more forceful contractions which lead to faster running, higher jumping, more powerful and accurate kicking and bone crunching tackling.

These performance benefits should be reason enough. A soccer player who strength trains is less injury prone. The simple reason is that strength training strengthens a muscle's attachments (to bones) and increases bone density. Even if the strong soccer player gets injured, their injuries will be less severe and heal many times faster than a weak player's.

Overall, strength training for soccer is crucial in the success of any soccer player at any level. Strength training should not be overlooked as the sport becomes faster and more competitive, it cannot be stressed how important strength training is.

The Florida Gators are the number one football team in the Nation in my opinion. If you want to know why, I can give you details all night on why the Gators are number one. They have the best offense in the country, and already started 2 games this year and winning both of them by a huge spread. With players like Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow and Percy Harvin, the Gators are not in anyway able to be stopped. Brandon Spikes is listed as one of the nations top linebackers and he just came off of a foot injury.

The University Of Florida is amazing. The campus, the education, and the SPORTS! This year, in college football the Gators should be headed to the National Championship. Tebow is looking to win another championship before he leaves. The question is, When will he go pro? After this 2008 season? Or will he wait until his senior year?? The Gators have to many weapons. It's just to ridiculous. Even with their best tight end out for the season due to a torn acl, they still have a back up for him that is better than any other tight end in the whole entire country. It's simply amazing.

The gators are ranked 4 right now, they should easily move up to 3 or possibly 2 by the end of September. 229 What is really going to affect the gators from getting to the championship is injuries. They had several injuries in August most to ACL injuries, and to keep them from the national championship, they MUST stay healthy.

You're not satisfied with average. You push harder than everyone else in practice. When the pressure's on, you're the one pulling a few miracles on the field. But it's a big world out there, with thousands of players just like you or better competing in soccer camps and tournaments every day and growing stronger. So how can you take your game to the next level?

Take your training home

At age 18 or 19, your average pro has been exposed to roughly 10,000 hours of contact with the ball. To achieve that, you're looking at a minimum of 3 to 4 hours of practice every day. So realistically, you'll be doing a lot on your own. Being involved in practice is not enough. It's important to practice by yourself to really hone your skills.

Training for control

As much as possible, be in contact with the ball. This may sound basic, but it should always, always be the focus. We teach our soccer camps' players to dominate from the first touch, deaden a ball that seems beyond your control, and make every pass hit the right person.

When you're at home in the backyard, get the ball and juggle. You can start on a hard surface at first, or juggling next to a wall. Start simple: juggle twice, then let the ball bounce, juggling three to four times and let it bounce again. Pay attention to how it feels to properly lift the ball. Build up your touch and start moving to the grass.

At our soccer camps, we notice some players catch on faster with ball control than others. Don't skip this if you find it difficult. If you keep practicing, you will improve this skill. We've got some great videos of players showing off their juggling skills if you need inspiration. Practice your passing technique by doing long and short passing exercises with friends outside of school or at recess during school.

Our soccer camps' players train for hours every day on ball handling. When you do this, you start to get a feel for the ball and gain muscle memory. That way, when the ball is flying towards you, you don't even think about how to handle it. It's instinct. This gives you an edge on the field.

Boosting your mental game

It takes more than just physical ability to win games. Pro teams focus on mental strength and attitude as well. In our soccer camps, we teach players to concentrate only on the game, and not let other thoughts clutter their mind. Focused players are not distracted by the crowd, their parents, or any other non-related issues.

Maintaining a positive attitude during the game keeps you from missing perfectly good shots under stress. Instead of second-guessing yourself, use imagery techniques to perfect your skills in your mind's eye. Visualize yourself performing the moves flawlessly. This can also help you learn new skills faster.

This mental strength and preparation makes a difference towards the end of the game when your body starts to get tired. That's when you need to maintain that focus and confidence so you don't make mistakes.

With dedication, you can start pushing forward to realizing your potential as a soccer player. You'll gain confidence as you become a better player, becoming a crucial asset to your team. And of course, you'll start seeing improvement when it really counts - on the pitch during season play.

Any experienced player that does play poker game online would have experienced that good luck and bad luck seems to be coming in groups. The kinds of cards that let you win at one particular time would be the major reason for loss in some other table. It should be noted that the winning and losing with a particular hand is much related to probability. These occurrences are not really out of the idea of probability, it is just that the least probable happening shows up at times and the best possible happening shows up at some other time.

If you happen to run in to a major loss when you play poker game online you need to just try to rectify the mistakes in it, rather than trying to make the situation a reason for your panic whenever you are dealt with the same situations. Losses should be taken as an experience and the applicable strategies should be modified accordingly. Panic never brings any progress ahead rather it worsens it to the core.

In many cases of poker game online it would be impossible to be maximizing victory, regardless of having a strong hand. This might be due to the fact that he player relied too far than he should on the gruesome strategy or he was failing to be unpredictable in his plays and was playing pretty weak for others to exploit.

Truly, the winning in poker game online can be maximized by reducing the many number of losses in poker. Reducing losses by itself will increase the profit profile. Increasing profits by new strategies with having the losses win equally will in no way help in maximizing the profits in poker game online in small or big limits.

So, as a card player of poker game online you need to realize that maximizing your winnings will come only if you develop a long term view of your plays. Staying out of losing situations is where you will be saving lot of bets. When you save many small bets you are automatically preventing chip leaks, which is very important for a healthy bankroll.

Arsenal will be facing Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the upcoming Champions League 2008. This will certainly be an exciting match and both managers will be deciding what strategies to use so as to chase both the English Premier League as well as the Champions League titles. The interesting thing is that Liverpool and Arsenal will play each other three times in succession at the start of April, with the quarter-final matches straddling a Premier League encounter at Highbury on April 5.

Arsenal and Liverpool have never before faced each other in European competition, but the platform has been set for a familiar all-England semi-final. Should Liverpool and Chelsea make it through to the last four, they will face each other at that stage of the tournament for the third time in four years, with Rafael Benitez's side having won the past two meetings.

All eyes will be on Arsenal and Liverpool. I think this draw favors Arsenal more because both games will be played in England; therefore Benitez's Champions League experience and knowledge won't matter as much as it would have against a European side. If Arsenal can bottle up Torres, Liverpool will definitely be out.

Although Arsenal may be above Liverpool in the Premier League standings but domestic form has counted for nothing in recent all-English duels. When Chelsea beat Arsenal in 2004 and Liverpool bettered Chelsea in 2005 and 2007, it was the losing side that finished higher in the Premier League.

Bentez got the better of Arsenal in the 2002/03 UEFA Champions League second group stage when in charge of Valencia. The teams drew 0-0 at Highbury in December 2002 and met again in their final group match at Mestalla in March 2003, when a 2-1 Valencia victory secured first place in the section for the Spanish side and relegated Arsenal to third.

Liverpool and Arsenal last met in a two-leg tie in the English League Cup semi-final in February 1978. Liverpool won the first leg at Anfield 2-1 and held out for a goalless draw in north London in the return.

Fantasy Football 101: How to Build & Manage a Winning Team to the League Championship

Were you surprised when your last lottery game flipped up some unusual winning number patterns? It happens quite often - even in the big games. Regardless of whether you play Powerball, Super Lotto Plus or a smaller lotto in your local city or town, every game gets some strange, unexplained number sequences at times.

This mismatch is quite common, and it's why you need a system that predicts skewed patterns and adjusts for them, to give you better winning odds. But maybe you haven't found such a system yet. So how can you be more selective in choosing when to avoid these number orphans?

The solution is fortunately quite easy, and you don't even need a calculator or pen! You can do it by just checking out the winning number sequence.

Here's the steps:

1. Check out the results of the last game in your area. You can find the results by entering "YourGame winning numbers" or "YourGame results" in any large search engine. Go back to the winning numbers on the last day of play. Doesn't matter if it's a mid-week game or a Saturday one - just make sure you view the LAST set of winning numbers available.

2. See if your game shows unusual number combinations, as in these examples:

- Three consecutive numbers together like 3, 4, 5, or 25, 26, 27, or even 41, 42, 43.

- Numbers concentrated together at one end of the play range, like 33, 35, 36, 38 or 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 (not those numbers you understand - just a pattern like that).

- Unusual patterns of close numbers of 3 or more that may be in or out of sequence. A pattern like 2, 4, 6, 8 in two areas of the winning numbers is another example.

Here's the secret.

3. If your game shows any of these patterns, then make sure you play the very NEXT game.

Your winning chances will improve because it's unlikely these unusual number pattern sets will appear again in the very NEXT game. Research has shown that the likelihood of certain patterns repeating consistently is very rare in the following game.

By watching out for the strange number patterns like the ones
