Lost: The Complete Sixth Season (UK - BD)
Marcus says goodbye to the island and wishes we could all go back... again...
The Final Season
After five great seasons dealing with the island, the others, trying to get rescued, being rescued, going back to the island and time travel (yes non Lost watchers, there was time travel), season five left us on a cliff-hanger that with a few minor tweaks on the build up to its finale could very well have been the way the show ended entirely. With Juliette setting off the Swan hatch atomic bomb and Lost fading to white, there was just about enough to make it the dramatic end that Lost had always promised to go out on, with just about enough clues to sort of piece the rest of the threads together. But Lost being Lost there was a final season to come, and when season six arrived it was purposely structured for us to be going in blind.
Weirdly season six doesn't exactly hit the ground running. It was still very much Lost, but considering this is the season that had to tell us everything, the storytelling methods really seemed to be taking too much time to get to the point and writers seemed to be playing it awfully close to the collective chests and with the whole new element of a flash sideways introduced (which has most of our characters in a slightly alternative reality where the infamous flight 815 landed safely in LAX) there seemed to be more questions raised than answers were answered.
However, on island, it was a different story. Further clues as well as full blown answers were coming at us thick and fast, with a regular role for long spoken about but rarely seen Jacob and the Man in Black bringing all sorts of new angles to the table. The Lost mythology seemed to be coming to a close with all the elements in place and while there was way too much time spent with the temple-others (which frankly was an element that was neither explained enough or seemed to have any real worth) the second half of the season really started getting down to the nitty-gritty.
Now here is where I have to put the brakes on a bit I guess as I know there's probably a fair few of you out there that haven't seen this finale season yet and waiting for this boxset (honestly I don't know how you did it) I'll try to keep this as vague as possible and spoiler free, though I'd imagine you'll want to avoid the comments at the bottom of this review as the subject of how Lost ended and more so how satisfied people were with it will no doubt involve plenty of spoilers.
I'll say it right now, and I can do this after having re-watched the entire six seasons over the last few months, I was completely satisfied with how Lost ended despite a few of the more important mysteries being left to the viewers' interpretation as opposed to answered head on. The issue of 'the candidates' made the final season all about the characters connections to the island and I dug the hell out of that. The episode where Jacob sits around the campfire and has a chat with the remaining Losties honestly felt like one of the most important moments in TV history for me and it was played beautifully by all involved. The island's backstory via Richard and more importantly Jacob and the Man in Black were exactly what the final season needed to add more weight to the entire show's run and also, Terry O'Quinn's performance as, let's say Un-Locke, was consistently compelling.
On a side note, I'm not saying there weren't clunkers as well. The explanation of 'the whispers' is probably the biggest cop out that Lost is guilty of. None of it rang true to what we've seen and really that was a little disappointing. I'm not entirely sure what Claire was doing in season six either, other than making up the numbers. Speaking of numbers, I was initially pissed off with the 'Jacob had a thing about numbers' explanation about those, but after the entire season re-watch I like that really the only person those numbers had any importance to was Hurley and really their combination of 4 8 15 16 23 42 wasn't a thing the show balanced on, but was a very cool set of coincidences that tied lots of elements together in the Lost universe, even if no single character really knew it.
Then there's the flash sideways, which really leads us onto the finale as a whole because other than a few hints at what the hell was going on with the alternate reality, the mysteries of it were held off right until the last minute. It's hard to write about this with a spoiler free angle but despite the many different views on the final Lost episodes, I loved it. Adored it even (yes even the Sayid/ Shannon bit—though that took a whole re-watch of seasons one and two to finally swallow). By the time the finale came around on the original TV run it had become the most exciting entertainment moment of the year in my household. Lost had been a huge element of the family viewing for five years now but come finale day the entire family were itching for those final two hours of Lost time.
Despite watching a shit ton of TV and movies, my excitement levels for these sorts of things really don't go up this high unless there's a new Star Wars movie on the way or there's a new instalment of a franchise I love (that hasn't hit the skids yet, not that there's many of them left). Because of that, the Lost finale had me in its grasp with every frame, delivering thrills (tunnel of light), chills (Kate telling Jack she's missed him) as well as the usual kick ass moments that Lost thrives on (Jack's flying punch and the entire Kurosawa-esq face off on the rocks). But even more than that, Lost achieved what no movie or TV show has achieved for me since E.T. in 1983. It made me shed a tear. I don't know about you guys, but come the end of that episode, when all had been revealed and the feel good/ feel sad wrap ups began to flood in, I suddenly got the feeling that this was really it. It was over and trying desperately not to go into spoiler territory, when Jack walks through the bamboo I just lost it. The imagery, the score, the, the... damn it spoilers!! Let's just say the promise of the show going out on a high was achieved and frankly I can't think of another show that I've felt this attached to.
As with the previous Lost Blu-rays, the jungle and beach exteriors of the show look lavish in the warm sun and the colour presentation is absolute perfection. Black levels are nice and deep throughout the entire sixth season and even though the image suffers the tiniest bit in the dark scenes with a higher level of grain it's really nothing to complain about.
Textures and finer details are top notch as usual, with characters' stubble looking so sharp you could almost reach out and pluck it off of their faces and clothing elements looking so good you could find yourself having the urge to iron the creases out of the others' ragged clothes.
Like many high end shows, Lost just excels in its beautifully captured HD visuals and with its natural exterior light it outshines its more set based peers in regards to its natural feel. It sure is a pretty looking show on Blu-ray.
Maybe it's because of the dramatic undertone of the final season but Lost's audio elements seem to be firing on all cylinders here. Within any given moment, the strong dialogue can blend perfectly with Michael Giacchino's exceptional score, only to be filled out with the natural sounds of the jungle or sound effects.
The island has always had a strong presence within the show and the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track really shows it off here. Everything feels alive and if you stop and listen to what's going on in the track beside the dialogue, especially in the uber answers episode 'Across the Sea' it's quite impressive just how much is going on.
To leave the audio segment without mentioning the finale's incredible powerful score would be a crime and it really does provide a massive emotional punch to the closing scenes. How it strengthens the overall wrapping up of events really shines here and when compared to the original TV broadcast, it really ups the ante and it easily matches any big budget movies.
Not sure if i mentioned it in my review for season four, but man I love those little Oceanic symbols as the menus load up. Anyway, disc one opens with '8:15 a Crash Course' (08:15 HD) giving you an update on what's happened on Lost before starting the season. These are always great, but seriously, after season four and the time travel, explaining this in eight minutes and fifteen seconds isn't actually possible.
The big draw is the epilogue mini episode 'The Man in Charge' (11:55 HD) which, while remaining in spoiler sensitive territory, gets better on repeat viewings. The first time I saw it was convinced it felt like a pilot for a further Lost spin off (and this sort of bummed me out that it actually wasn't), but after a few watches I'm happy it feels like a tie up of loose ends and really a nice extra segment of Lost, and more importantly one final clue/ conclusion to what the deal was with Walt.
'Crafting a Final Season' (38:33 HD) is a great overview of the last season with key points spoken about by cast and crew and a very simple look at the flash sideways, deaths and the final steps towards the conclusion.
'A Hero's Journey' (08:57 HD) is a look at the key steps in Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey and how it related to Lost and its multiple heroes.
'See You in Another Life Brotha' (08:36) is a whistle stop tour of the flash sideways with very little in the way of reveal or insight and more a simple sentence or two at what they were for (again spoilers have my hands tied to go further).
'The Bloopers' (04:09 HD) is full of little gems and the 'Lost University' allows you to go online and access the site that's been on the internet since just before season six began. There's some good stuff on there for Lost fans. Check it out.
The usual 'Lost on Location' (28:40 HD) selection concentrates on six episodes and has the usual footage of how episodes are put together by the crew and as always features some fun little moments and interesting film making challenges on a TV schedule.
The nine deleted scenes (09:39 SD) don't really offer up a lot, but have a nice nod at what gets Desmond out of a hole.
As for the commentaries, there are only the three. The first two being on 'Dr Linus' (with producers/writers Edward Letris and Adam Horowitz and actor Michael Emerson) and 'Ab Aeterno' (with writers Melinda Hsu Taylor and Gregory Nations actor Nestor Carbonell) both of which are full of great, enjoyable tales but the big one is on the key episode 'Across the Sea' with Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse and quite frankly it's brilliant. The playful pair aren't afraid to focus on what the fans didn't like about the episode and even though they keep to their usual coyness and refuse to lay out the specifics, they really go all out at hinting at the many elements that could have deeper meanings and even heavily hint that 'Mother' may be more than she seems. I really felt like they confirmed a lot of my own theories on the Lost 'rules' and the elements this episode confronts and that made it a great commentary to listen to. In fact for a Lost fan this is a pretty strong reason in itself to buy the entire boxed set.
Okay, so you all know by now that I love Lost, so this review is more than glowing, but how to wrap it up (especially considering I could speak about the subject of Lost all day)? Well knowing that there was a whole lot of backlash to the decisions made with this final season, I'll say this: Lost has always been about interpretation. From episode one, the audience were left to use their own thoughts and beliefs to determine what they thought was going on. The show offered up a great cast of characters and their journeys through the entire six seasons were as thrilling as they were personal.
It's easy to say that the island's mysteries were not all answered, but honestly if you're a Lost fan, you just can't be that brash about it. Throughout the entire run there has been more than enough to piece the vast majority of it together. Really, go back—it's all there to make of what you will in the larger picture, even for the big one people kicked off about (that being Walt—though The Man in Charge epilogue helped that along).
Once again, it's going to come down to your own interpretation of events, so those looking for a box of answers wrapped up in a Blu-ray case will probably walk away disappointed. For those wanting to see the last chapter of these beloved Losties' stories and having the fun of piecing together what you think happened over the last six years... well, I don't know who I'm aiming that last sentence at because you've already ordered the final season of one of the best TV shows that the box of light in the corner of your room can offer.

Review by Marcus Doidge
I just watcheed the final two episodes last night. I've been watching the whole thing over 3 months, and although I'm thrilled that you got a lot out of it, I can't help feeling it lead me a merry dance from the get-go. It peaked in season 2 for me, which I thought was terrific, but after that... blergh!
I watched it all again over the last few months and there was a distinct feeling that they didn't really know what to do in season three, especially OFF island with flashbacks and stuff. There was obviously a game change in the background around then but ultimatly I think it paid off. Season 2 is also my favorite season.
Something else that troubled me... Claire used to be quite hot but for some reason, she doesn't do it for me anymore and I can't for the life of me work out why. I'm not referring to her crazy Island personna, but the alternate version.
Probably because her character got progressively duller as the show went on.
It's not that. She looks different somehow.
She was a little blonder but other than that she seemed pretty much the same to me.
Suitable only for persons of 15 years and over

Eastern View is a very small township along the surf coast of Southern Victoria. It is located at the start of the Great Ocean Road which runs for several hundred kilometres past some of the most scenic sea scenery in the world. It is comparable if not more dramatic than the Sur Coast in California. The road was built by hand during the depression of the 1920's-30's. Inaccessible by land people lived in camps and all supplies had to come in by ship. Building the road meant removing large sections of mountains plunging steeply down to the sea.
This image was taken from the famous Pole House at Fairhaven a shot of which was posted a few days ago.

Are you better off today than you were 20 years ago? It's a one-liner that Mitt Romney might want to try out on the campaign trail in the coming days.
Last week featured one of the most comprehensive and troubling snapshots of how little the finances of most of us here in New York and around the nation have recovered from the Great Recession.
In its Survey of Consumer Finances, an 80-page in-depth report put out every three years, the Federal Reserve detailed the damage. The median net worth of the American family — those truly in the middle — fell by 39 percent between 2007 and 2011. That means household wealth is likely no higher now than it was two decades ago, in 1992.
And there were other zingers in the report. While incomes fell 7.7 percent for those in the middle — an unprecedented post-war decline — the Fed notes that median incomes for retirees and non-working adults were the only group to see their incomes rise since 2007. In other words, those not working are relatively better off today, income-wise, than those who are.
By any statistical measure in this exhaustive report, the Americans who have been hurt the most by the credit bust are truly in the middle in terms of age, income and wealth — the Generation Xers who came into the work force during and right after the Bush recession of 1991. It turns out that almost 55 percent of the median worth of Gen Xers has been wiped out since '07 — and they will likely decide the election this fall.
That's on top of the incredible escalation in the federal debt burden per US household since 2009, money that families in America will have to eventually pay back in taxes. Indeed, the size of the federal debt load per US household has risen 50 percent, to $190,000, since President Obama took office. That's $190,000 in borrowed money per family from families with median incomes that have dwindled to $45,000, less than one-fourth of that $190,000.
Explaining that miserable math while providing a convincing plan to fix it is the task before Mitt Romney. Americans want solutions, not more parsing of the pathetic numbers.

The graphics let this down, but it is a huge open world game with some clever/innovative touches. A mixture of GTA, Assassins Creed and other such games it's well worth the £20 or so. Plenty of game time, too.

Intel® Identity Protection Technology
Multi-faceted security to protect consumers and enterprises from being penetrated by stolen credentials and online user account access
Multi-faceted security to protect consumers and enterprises from being penetrated by stolen credentials and online user account access
Protecting your identity and business data requires strong authentication that's ideally rooted in hardware. Hardware-based authentication is widely regarded by security experts as a more effective approach than software-only authentication.
Intel® Identity Protection Technology (Intel® IPT)1 is a suite of authentication and online access technologies designed to offer web properties, users, and enterprises with stronger, hardware-based security embedded into Intel's platforms for better ease of use, while offering a lower cost compared with traditional hardware or SMS authentication. Intel® IPT includes a multifactor authentication framework to allow consumers to easily login to their cloud based accounts and enterprises to easily manage different methods of authentication, two-factor authentication with dynamic one-time password (OTP) tokens, display protection PIN entry protection with protected transaction display (PTD), hardware protected certificates with public key infrastructure (PKI).
Intel® IPT with multifactor authentication (MFA)
Intel® IPT with MFA is a connected framework that provides the fundamental building blocks for an end-to-end, policy-based identity and access management solution that integrates well within an IT infrastructure. It will give IT more flexibility to specify the combination of hardened authentication factors used for various enterprise applications.
A firmware-based MFA engine in the client enforces policies delivered from IT. This framework allows stronger authentication than just between the user and the platform. It now authenticates the user, platform, and the network to each other.
Intel® IPT with MFA supports three use cases:
Intel® IPT with one-time password (OTP)
Intel® IPT strengthens network and website access with second factor authentication using OTP tokens. When a user visits a website that uses Intel® IPT from an Intel® IPT-enabled device, after user opt-in, the website can provision the embedded OTP token and bind it to that user's account. The OTP token generates a single-use password that expires after just 30 seconds. Web properties of enterprises can use this OTP token in conjunction with a username and password to get strong two-factor authentication. Since this token is built right into the device hardware, it is much more convenient for users to use and cheaper for businesses to deploy and manage. It also doesn't incur per transaction charges like SMS, which can build up over large volume usage. Intel® IPT with OTP is available on all PCs using the latest Intel® Pentium® processor, Intel® Celeron® processor, and Intel® Core™ processor family, and select Intel® Atom™ processor tablets and phones.
Intel® IPT with public key infrastructure (PKI)
Intel® IPT also includes PKI support built into the device hardware, where RSA key pairs and certificates are generated in the embedded security processor. This can help authenticate a user to the device via domain/OS login and the device to the network via VPN. Enterprises already using PKI can manage Intel® IPT with PKI devices using Microsoft CryptoAPI*. Intel® IPT with PKI provides enterprises with hardware-based security while saving on the additional cost of traditional smart cards and readers or special-order PCs. This technology is built into all 3rd generation or later Intel® vPro™ platforms.
Learn how Intel® IPT with PKI enhances malware protection ›
Intel® IPT with protected transaction display (PTD)
Intel® IPT with PTD can display information to the user and receive input from the user using the embedded security processor. Information displayed (e.g., PIN pad, virtual keyboard, or CAPTCHA) using PTD is designed to only be visible to a user physically present in front of the device. Users can provide input by clicking the buttons on such a PIN pad, keyboard, or other widget. Therefore, in addition to protecting user inputs, meaningful user interaction with such information helps indicate user presence. Intel® IPT with PTD is available on all PCs using 3rd generation or later Intel® Core™ processor and select Intel® Atom™ processor tablets.
Intel® technologies' features and benefits depend on system configuration and may require enabled hardware, software or service activation. Performance varies depending on system configuration. No computer system can be absolutely secure. Check with your system manufacturer or retailer or learn more at https://www.intel.co.za.

Does someone know what kitebags or golfbags can fit. Unfortunatly producers do not write the max size board and main part or golfbags are wide 44 or 46. I need help to find the right one. Thanks

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (June 8, 2012)—Include Me Out, who is undefeated around two turns, is among 11 nominated to the $250,000 guaranteed Vanity Handicap.
A Grade I for fillies and mares at 1 1/8 miles over Cushion Track, the Vanity will be run for the 71st time Saturday, June 16.
Owned by Samatha Siegel's Jay Em Ess Stable and trained by Ron Ellis, Include Me Out has rattled off three consecutive graded victories, including the Grade II Marjorie L. Everett Handicap May 19 in her first appearance of 2012 at Betfair Hollywood Park.
Successful earlier in the year in the Grade II La Canada and Grade I Santa Margarita at Santa Anita, the 4-year-old Include filly out of the Mazel Trick mare Don't Trick Her has won five of nine and earned $453,600.
The other nominees include the John Sadler-trained duo of Switch and Zazu.
Owned by Lee and Susan Searing's C R K Stable, Switch, a 5-year-old Quiet American mare, was second as the 3-2 favorite in the 2011 Vanity. Switch finished a half-length behind eventual Horse of the Meet Blind Luck.
A double Grade I winner for owners Jerry and Ann Moss, Zazu finished 3 ½ lengths behind Include Me Out in the Everett, which was her first race in 7 ½ months.
Completing the nominees are Atlantic Swing, Caelis, Capital Plan, Bayakoa Handicap, Paseana and Santa Maria winner Ellafitz, Love Theway You are, Pachattack, who comes off a victory in the Grade III Doubledogdare April 20 at Keeneland for trainer H. Graham Motion, Rock and Glory and Zafeen's Pearl.
The June 16 program will also include the $100,000 Willard L. Proctor Memorial for 2-year-olds and the $100,000 Cinderella for 2-year-old fillies. Both are at 5 ½ furlongs over Cushion Track.
Topping the 10 noms to the Proctor is Amarish, a gelded son of Scat Daddy who broke his maiden by 7 ¾ lengths in his debut May 26. Jeff Bonde trains for owner Jerry Durant.
Four of the 12 nominees to the Cinderella were bred in California by Terry Lovingier, including first out winners Akiss Forarose and Awe Golly Molly.
The feature attraction Sunday, June 17 is the $70,000-added Desert Stormer Handicap.
Among the 13 nominees to the six furlong affair over Cushion Track are three Grade I winners – Switch, Teddy's Promise and Turbulent Descent.
Trained by Mike Puype for a partnership that includes Blinkers On Racing Stable and Bill Strauss, Turbulent Descent has been idle since finishing sixth as the 1-2 favorite in the Grade I La Brea last Dec. 31 at Santa Anita.
A winner of six of 10 with earnings of $858,350, the 4-year-old daughter of Congrats is perfect in three races – all as a 2-year-old – over Cushion Track. After knocking off maidens by three-quarters of a length in her career debut Oct. 3, 2010, Turbulent Descent returned to win the Moccasin Stakes Nov. 21 and the Grade I Hollywood Starlet Dec. 11.
Teddy's Promise, who won the La Brea as a 16-1 outsider, is 4-for-6 over the Betfair Hollywood Park main track.
Owned by breeders Ted and Judy Nichols and trained by Ellis, Teddy's Promise, a 4-year-old Salt Lake filly comes off a win in the Time To Leave Stakes May 6.
Switch, whose last three starts have come around one turn, has been 1-2 in all five of her races over Cushion Track.
Entries for the Vanity, Willard L. Proctor and Cinderella will be taken Wednesday, June 13. The entries for the Desert Stormer will be taken Thursday, June 14.
