122 games played, 344 goals scored and we’re finally there. Arguably two of the world’s greatest football teams finally meet in one of England’s greatest stadiums. On May 28th 2011, Wembley Stadium will be a spectacle for the Champions League Final when Barcelona and Manchester United finally meet in a much anticipated cup match. Both teams had to go through their biggest rivals to reach this stage and are arguably the two best teams in the world. Their roads to the final are sometimes just as dramatic and just as difficult as those diehard fans who spend an enormous amount of money and effort to support their favorite team.
Champions League tickets are basically impossible to find, especially in the United States. The price has gone up year-by-year and this year is more of the same. The number one online ticket merchant in the United States has upper level, last row tickets for $4,000 each, mind you that does not include getting to England. However, Wembley stadium holds 90,000 people and of those people almost all “normal” fans who support their teams live on the continent of Europe. Most would think that tickets would be easier to get in Europe but there is an application process that seems to be a difficult process. They provide a smaller amount of tickets (5,000 or so) and even less youth ticket packages. In a stadium as large as Wembley, less than 10,000 tickets is really not that many to make an impact.
The next best option would be to buy them from a third party and the prices seem to be outrageous. Right now in England, ticket packages are being offered with decent tickets on the lower level for 3,400 Euros which equals out to about $4,900. Still an outrageous acquisition for most people that are average fans of football. In reality to attain Champions League tickets 2011, being an average fan is not going to get you very far. But for those who are willing and have the abilities to attend an event of such distinction and prominence than you are in for the time of your life. It seems a bit crazy that Wembley will be packed to the ceiling with the prices that tickets are going for, but you know what they say, football fans are the greatest in the world.

The point of creating anything in the genre of horror is that in the end of the work there is no triumph. It’s not a happy ending though perhaps the protagonist survived. That’s the whole reason it’s a work of horror, there is no happy ending. At best there’s a bittersweet ending. At worst, everyone dies and fails at negating the antagonist’s goals. Viewers should be able to enjoy entertainment that might not have a happy ending.
Don’t become too attached to the characters. For most character presentations that won’t be a problem. Horror movie characters tend to be too stupid to live or pragmatic jerks who deserve to die. At least, many work out that way and that’s fine. Good entertainment is an escape, the viewer should not feel guilty for enjoying the entertainment when it’s over.
If the viewer is not in the movie theater, shouting instructions and encouragement to the characters is common. So is hiding one’s eyes and peeking through one’s fingers while waiting to cringe. Couples should feel free to grab for their partners and bury their face in the nearest bodily hollow and whimpering at the squelching noises and screams coming from the movie.

A shadowbox is a framed, glass enclosed case designed to hold attractively mounted items requiring reduced exposure to harmful ultra-violet light. The light that enters the box enters at one angle only. Shadowboxes typically contain items of monetary or nostalgic value such as military or private memorabilia commemorating the personal effects, awards, etc. of individuals.
Just about anything can be installed into a shadowbox. It is important that the construction of the box is sturdy enough to support the weight of the container and its contents. Often UV plastic is used instead of glass for added protection and lightness of weight. There is no limit to the size so this is an ideal method to display and preserve larger items such as uniforms, bridal memorabilia including gowns, shoes and valuable collections such as jewelry, medals, pipes, eating utensils etc.
The choice of items and the design of their presentation tell a story. The static mounting of objects can be transformed into a three-dimensional presentation that is dynamic and interesting. Presentations in shadowboxes are traditional or eclectically modern. The imagination is the limit. The container should have a hinged opening for periodic adjustment of pieces or a changeover to another collection.

Science fiction fans have many programs available to love, however, a few stand out more than others. Fans flock to several, although here are the top five:
Star Trek, which includes all of the Star Trek series, has run through the years with new episodes and new series. The original Star Trek, then on to the Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and the Enterprise all held the same ambiance of perfection.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer held captive audiences wondering what would happen next for years. This program belongs in the top five of all time, simply due to the coffins it opened for shows to come.
Third, we find the Doctor Who, which includes all series. British TV icon that continually renewed itself because the Doctor could “regenerate”. With eleven different actors portraying the Time Lord, known as The Doctor, the show managed to go on and off again for nearly fifty years.
Battlestar Galactica, including the original series in the late ‘70s and the newer series later, the Sci-Fi Channel had their hands in magic with this hugely popular science fiction series.
Stargate SG-1 found its way into the airways on Showtime before it moved eventually to the Sci-Fi Channel where it aired for another five years. The series went on to produce a dual DVD films, “The Ark of Truth” and “Continuum”, along with harvesting two spin-off series in Stargate: Atlantis and Stargate: Universe.

Candyman will make you think about him every single time you look in a mirror. Freddy Krueger is a legend and so are his knife fingers. Scream is classic with an all-star cast and the mask. The Exorcist was a different kind of scarey with Linda Blair’s incredible voice. Saw was disgustingly horrific in a pleasing way.

Jaws will forever make you think twice about your safety when you are in salt water. The Shining gets inside your mind and it stays there until you watch it again. What is really going on with Jack? Halloween is the #1 scariest horror movie because of its fantastic musical score and mute Michael’s killer mask.
