			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dreaming is always wonderful, do you ever think about the condition in which you are aware of your dream? This is an amazing experience where you can gain control of your dreams.</p>
<p>You may wonder now that how is it possible. We know dreams have no relations to our physical body or to conscious mind. It is purely from our subconscious mind&#8217;s intentions. Got the significant answer? Yes, gain control over your unconscious mind and trigger dreams as your wishes. The process is called lucid dreaming.</p>
<p>Being a skill, you can practice lucid dreaming through some dedicated effort and constant exercises. To reach the advanced state of lucidity you will take some more effort and time. You can gain control over your dream and use it positively. Once you achieve that condition you can visualize in your dream what you wish to see.</p>
<p>To gain full lucidity in your dreams, you are advised to purchase some books on lucid dreaming or watch related videos available online and offline markets. You can download many videos from internet that teach you all steps and guidance. It is highly recommended to start writing a dream journal. Scribble your dreaming ideas on the pages and compare your last night&#8217;s visuals to your desired pictures. You can recollect main points of your dreams while noting down visuals every day and your intention will stick on your unconscious mind slowly.</p>
<p>Make confusions in your mind. Confuse yourself asking frequent questions that whether you are asleep or alive. Once you are in genuine fix, focus on dreams you had previous night and bring desired visuals in your mind with much concentration. Then, your subconscious mind will memorize those symbols and pictures and show you what all you wish to see you.</p>
<p>Schedule an alarm clock to ring at two hours before you usually awakening. Dreams are usually occur in the morning and there is a general belief that morning dreams are most realistic. When the clock rings at the scheduled time switch off the alarm soon. That will slightly disturb you sleep and you can easily come back to your sleep and same time try to recall the dream that you had and resume the rest.</p>
<p>In that condition you will be slightly aware of your dreams. Practice this method every day and you can improve lucidity of your dream a lot.</p>
<p>Every night before you back to the silence of sleep take your note book and read it with very consciously and carve each of it in your mind. Convince your mind your strong passion to visualize what you wish. Continue the same every day. You will slightly get awareness and control over your dream.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a matchup between two of the worst offenses in the NFL, someone had to win. Despite producing only 9 first downs and&#8217;3 yards of total offense, the Cleveland Browns got a late game field goal from Billy Cundiff to defeat the Buffalo Bills 6-3 and win their first game of the season. The Bills had the more productive afternoon statistically, with- first downs and 288 yards of offense but were undone by three costly turnovers. Both teams are now 1-4 on the 2009 NFL season.</p>
<p>To successfully bet on the NFL, one needs to find opportunities to play underdogs&#8221;this is particularly true in games where neither team is expected to put many points on the board. Such was the case here, as Cleveland easily covered the pointspread as +6 road underdogs. Both teams are now 2-3 against the number on the season. The Browns have now won and covered the last three head to head matchups between the teams. The 9 points scored came nowhere near the total of 41 for an easy UNDER.</p>
<p>It was a game without many highlights. The Browns got on the board first with a 24 yard Cundiff field goal in the second quarter, and took that 3-0 lead into the locker room at halftime. Buffalo would tie the score in third on a Rian Lindell 36 yard field goal. That would set the stage for Cundiff to nail the game winner from&#8217; yards out with: 23 left to play. Despite todays victory, Cleveland is averaging a woeful 11 points per game this season. Buffalo&#8217;s PPG numbers are slightly better thanks to decent scoring output in their first two games of the season&#8211;theyre averaging just over 15 points per contest. In the Bills last three games, however, theyre averaging a meager 6.6 points per game.</p>
<p>The real loser in Sundays contest may have been Buffalo head coach Dick Jauron. Many were surprised that he was retained after the Bills third straight 7-9 season last year and things have gone from bad to worse so far in the 2009 NFL season. Buffalo has lost to winless teams in back to back weeks, part of a three game losing streak. Overall, the Bills have wound up losers in 12 of their last 15 games. Not that Cleveland has done much better&#8211;the win today ended a 10 game losing streak, one short of the all time franchise record.</p>
<p>Cleveland will have a tough road assignment next Sunday, heading to Pittsburgh to face the World Champion Steelers. Theyll return home for a game against the Green Bay Packers on October 25th before playing the Chicago Bears in The Windy City the following week. Buffalo will play the next two on the road, heading to the Meadowlands next Sunday for a game against the New York Jets followed by a trip to Charlotte, NC to take on the Carolina Panthers. Theyll return home on November 1st to face the Houston Texans.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Backup Mike Bell made the most of his opportunity, starting in place of Reggie Bush and helping the New Orleans Saints romp to a 38-14 road victory over the Houston Texans. New Orleans improved to 2-0 on the NFL preseason, while Houston evened their record at 1-1.</p>
<p>Bell is a former Denver Broncos starter who has produced only 45 yards rushing in the past two seasons. After the game, he talked about his big afternoon:</p>
<p>&#8220;I just wanted to show the team that I could come here and be a consistent running back. This kind of game was great because it reminds me that I can still play running back. Just to get the carries, and to make the most of this opportunity, that was a real confidence builder.&#8221;</p>
<p>Saints coach John Payton commended the effort, but said that it wasn&#8217;t a surprise due to Bells solid performance in training camp:</p>
<p>&#8220;He really has done a really good job. I was encouraged again to see him playing so well.&#8221;</p>
<p>Houston head coach Gary Kubiak put the loss into perspective:</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a humbling game. You can walk out of the stadium one week and feel good about yourself, and then walk out the next week and wonder what the heck is going on. We got pushed around. We have to play better than that up front in order to be successful.&#8221;</p>
<p>Linebacker DeMeco Ryan concurred:</p>
<p>&#8220;We take too much pride in what we do to go out and perform the way we did today. That&#8217;s not who we are.&#8221;</p>
<p>For the Saints, Drew Brees split time at QB with Mark Brunell. Brees was 9 of 14 for 87 yards and a touchdown, while Brunell was 5 of 6 for 96 yards. Brees had missed three days of practice last week to attend his mother&#8217;s funeral. P.J. Hill also got some reps at running back for the Saints, carrying the ball 8 times for 26 yards. Talent isn&#8217;t the problem for the Saints; mistakes, however, are.</p>
<p>New Orleans will continue their NFL preseason run next Saturday against the Raiders at Oakland. Houston will host the Minnesota Vikings next Monday night. The Saints will get the NFL regular season underway on Sunday, September 13th as they host the Detroit Lions while the Texans will play at home against the New York Jets.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The offensively struggling Kansas City Chiefs have finally found a way to win-play a team with a more stagnant offense than their own. The Chiefs gave Todd Haley his first win as a NFL head coach on Sunday with a&#8212;6 win over the Washington Redskins. Kansas City won despite not scoring a touchdown, compiling their&#8211; points via 4 Ryan Succop field goals and a game ending safety. Kansas City is now 1-5 on the NFL season, while the Redskins slumped to 2-4.</p>
<p>To successfully bet on NFL football you occasionally have to put aside W/L records and look at the underlying statistics. Those who did that found reason to take Kansas City as +6&#8242; road underdogs and were rewarded with the outright victory. Kansas City is now 2-4 against the NFL pointspread and has covered two straight while Washington is a dismal 1-5 versus the money. The 20 combined points went well UNDER the posted total of 36&#8242;.</p>
<p>After the contest, Haley sounded more relieved than excited about finally putting a &#8220;W&#8221; on the board:</p>
<p>&#8220;We made it pretty difficult, right down to the end. We&#8217;ve pushed through a very difficult period. We needed to get some positive reinforcement with a win.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kansas City QB Matt Cassel also won for the first time since coming over from New England in the off season. His postgame comments were more upbeat:</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s been a lot of change, but this has definitely been special. We rose to the occasion. We made some big plays. We put ourselves in a position to score points.&#8221;</p>
<p>Embattled Redskins&#8217; coach Jim Zorn was stripped of his offensive play calling duties by team management after the contest. In one of his last decisions in that role, he pulled starter Jason Campbell at halftime and went with Todd Collins. He explained his move as follows:</p>
<p>&#8220;I felt the need to create a spark on our football team offensively and went with Todd. I think the guys responded well. We kept our spark, at times, and then we refizzled.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Redskins have managed to win only two of their first six games despite being the only team in NFL history to play their first six games of the season against winless opponents. They&#8217;ll get another chance to silence their doubters next Monday night as they host the Philadelphia Eagles. The Skins are +6&#8242; home underdogs with the total set at 38&#8242;. They&#8217;ll have a bye the next week and return to action on November 8th against the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome. Kansas City will try to string together back to back wins as they host the San Diego Chargers on Sunday. There&#8217;s currently no line on the game pending San Diego&#8217;s Monday Night Football contest against the Denver Broncos.</p>

QB Matt Ryan threw a career high three touchdown passes, including one to his new favorite receiver Tony Gonzalez.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Atlanta Falcons are off to a fast start this season, and on Sunday used a potent offensive attack to top the Carolina Panthers 28-20 at the Georgia Dome. QB Matt Ryan threw a career high three touchdown passes, including one to his new favorite receiver Tony Gonzalez. Beleaguered Carolina QB Jake Delhomme threw another interception for ten in his previous three games (including last years playoff loss to Arizona) but was otherwise much more effective passing for 308 yards and a touchdown.</p>
<p>NFL football betting devotees who invested in the Falcons as -6 home favorites were rewarded with the pointspread cover. The Falcons have won and covered both games this season for a 2-0 record both straight up and against the spread. The Panthers, meanwhile, have dropped both of their 2009 contests straight up and to the number.</p>
<p>In his first two games in a Falcons uniform the future Hall of Famer tight end Gonzalez has 12 catches for 144 yards and two touchdowns. Gonzalez wanted out of Kansas City to play for a contender, and hes found himself on a talented young Falcons team with a QB that already appears destined for superstardom.</p>
<p>Afterwards, Gonzalez admitted that he was happy with how things have transpired thus far:</p>
<p>&#8220;Not a bad start at all. It&#8217;s just great to be part of a team like this.&#8221;</p>
<p>Quarterback Matt Ryan was full of compliments for his tight end in his postgame comments:</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s one of the greatest tight ends of all time. That was a huge pickup for us. He makes big plays for us in different situations when we need him. I&#8217;ve enjoyed playing with him thus far.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite the loss, Carolinas Jake Delhomme was relieved to put the horrible performance of the opening week behind him:</p>
<p>&#8220;It couldn&#8217;t be any worse than last week. I felt good out there today. Last week, I put too much pressure on myself. This week, I got back to being just plain Jake.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Panthers will head to Dallas for a game against the Cowboys next Monday night. Carolina is a +9 road underdog in that contest with the total set at 46. Atlanta has a pair of tough road games on the docket, beginning this weekend against the New England Patriots at Foxboro, Massachusetts. The Falcons have been installed as +4 road underdogs with the total set at 44.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Children in America today are getting excited about the new Razor scooters. Its ability to fold into a allows it portability to fit into compact areas. When you&#8217;re ready for action, click the button to open it and lock it in place.</p>
<p>Children, both boys and girls, love razor scooters. Razor scooters are a great way to teach kids balance, an important factor when it comes time to learn how to ride bikes. By learning the important skill of balancing early on with the scooter, it could teach kids to ride bikes faster. It also has easy breaking; just use the the black piece that&#8217;s place over the wheel. You can also adjust the handle size, allowing it to fit the specific needs of your child. Once folded up, it can not only fit into the back of your car, but just about anywhere. It&#8217;s perfect for traveling. The Razor scooter definitely makes a great and entertaining gift for kids.</p>
<p>The Razor scooter is great for kids of all ages, and even adults! This is due to the scooter&#8217;s ability to support 140 pounds. As stated earlier, the handle bar can be adjusted to better fit different heights. Also, with the previously mentioned wheel covering, it&#8217;s possible to pull off some neat tricks, like wheelies, as well as be used for a break. The Razor scooter comes in a menagerie of colors, with the cost of $40 to $50. To keep up with the wear and tear of use by a child, the scooter is made from durable metal. When you&#8217;re done, be sure to have an adult fold the scooter, as the folding mechanism could easily snap or pinch a child&#8217;s fingers. To do this, all you need to do is pull the pin, and the scooter will be able to be stored in more compact spaces in a garage or shed. The folding ability gives the portability included in many good products.</p>
<p>For a child that is missing out on their daily physical activity this is a great idea for them to get some exercise during the day and get out of the house for a while. Kids generally enjoy the scooters as they go zipping around the neighborhood rather quickly.</p>
<p>Razor scooters make fantastic Christmas and birthday gifts, but any day is the perfect opportunity to give your child one. In the future, more and more children will be using Razor scooters, so don&#8217;t delay in getting one for your child!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Veteran quarterback Jeff Garcia was released earlier this week by the Philadelphia Eagles, a victim of too many quarterbacks on the roster. Now that hes no longer under contract to a NFL team, hes letting his feelings be known about another one of his recent employers&#8211;the Oakland Raiders. There may be no team in the NFL more desperate for a quarterback than the Raiders, but Garcia quickly let it be known that he has no interest in returning to Oakland in an interview in which he slammed the teams management and suggested that current quarterback Jamarcus Russell was in over his head.</p>
<p>Garcia started his comments with an observation that the team is putting too much pressure on their young quarterback. He suggested that the team is putting their hopes on Russell&#8217;s shoulders, and that hes simply not ready for that pressure mentally or emotionally:</p>
<p>&#8220;I have no problem going into a situation and helping a young guy out and really trying to help the team out overall more so than anything. I just feel like it&#8217;s an unfortunate situation when the entire work ethic and the entire goal of the team is really put upon one guy&#8217;s shoulder.&#8221;</p>
<p>Garcia continued to stress that Russell&#8217;s talent wasn&#8217;t the issue:</p>
<p>&#8220;When you put him on the field in a one-on-one workout session he&#8217;ll make every throw for you. But when it comes down to making things happen in the heat of the battle and rallying the troops around you and making a case for the team, that&#8217;s where maybe things aren&#8217;t where they need to be.&#8221;</p>
<p>Garcia went on to assert that the Raiders problems go much deeper than the inexperience of their quarterback:</p>
<p>&#8220;It was to a point where I felt like guys who walked through those doors that just were there to collect a check and not really interested in putting everything that they had within themselves on to the football field. And that was the frustrating thing for me to see.</p>
<p>&#8220;There were a lot of good young guys in that locker room who really want to do whatever it takes to win, but unfortunately it&#8217;s not everybody. In order to compete at this level in this game, everybody needs to be on board.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Maybe it&#8217;s because how things have been for a number of years now out there and they just don&#8217;t see the hope&#8221;</p>
<p>After his release from the Raiders, coach Tom Cable insinuated that Garcia had an issue with playing backup to Russell:</p>
<p>&#8220;There was some talk about how he would fit but the best way for me to approach it is the other two played so well and we are committed to JaMarcus as our starter. Whether or not Garcia was comfortable in a role as a backup, it is what it is.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ultimately, Garcia got to the point where he simply wanted out:</p>
<p>&#8220;To see the reality of the situation and realize what I may be up against staying here for the entire year, it hurt me, it broke my heart to do that to step up. But I just felt like it was something I really didn&#8217;t want to put myself through anymore.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 39 year old Garcia has started 110 games in the NFL in ten seasons after a standout career in the Canadian Football League. There&#8217;s a good chance you&#8217;ll see him back in action before the end of the year&#8211;though the Raiders are clearly not a team that he&#8217;d be interested in.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Frank Trigg dominated tough veteran Falaniko Vitale wire to wire en route to a unanimous decision victory at Strikeforce: Payback. Trigg essentially dictated where and when the fight occurred, and Vitale had no response whatsoever. The CompuStrike stats clearly underscored Triggs superiority in the fight, giving him a lopsided 41 to 7 edge in strikes landed.</p>
<p>In the co-main event, Duane Bang Ludwig earned an explosive TKO win over Sam Morgan. After an evenly contested first minute, Ludwig quickly took control with a series of Muay Thai knee strikes which set up a perfectly placed bodyshot to the liver that floored his opponent. Ludwig quickly pressed his advantage and never gave Morgan a chance to recover. Still feeling the effects of the liver shot, Morgan ate another hard punch to the solar plexus and gasping for breath was forced to tap out under the barrage of strikes.</p>
<p>In perhaps the most entertaining bout on the card, highly touted Billy Evangelista survived his second big scare in as many fights to remain undefeated. After a split decision victory over Nam Phan in June, Evangelista found himself in grave danger of a TKO loss early in his bout with tough veteran Luke Caudillo. Caudillo&#8221;who goes by the nickname Lil Hulk&#8221;opened the fight with a flurry, knocking Evangelista to the canvas three times in the opening minute.</p>
<p>As the rest of the fight unfolded, Caudillo made the mistake of becoming a headhunter looking for a KO punch which allowed Evangelista to take over the fight. Evangelista continued to score with crisp combinations and as the bout progressed demonstrated his superior conditioning&#8221;a major factor at the high altitude of the Broomfield, Colorado fight venue. Evangelista would eventually earn a unanimous decision victory. Good display of toughness and resolve by up-and-comer Evangelista, and a nice showing by rugged vet Caudillo in the loss.</p>
<p>A highly anticipated womens match took place early in the evening, with former Hooters waitress Michelle The Karate Hottie Watterson easily defeating an overmatched opponent in Tyra Parker. Parker, whod lost her pro debut six weeks ago, may have been rushed back into action too quickly but she came out fighting gamely swinging for the fences with wild, powerful punch attempts. Watterson easily figured out her opponent, however, and The Karate Hottie quickly took over with her more disciplined striking approach.</p>
<p>The event marked Strikeforces first visit to Colorado, and another in a series of very entertaining fight cards. Scott Coker and his team deserve a lot of credit for their matchmaking&#8221;even in the lower card fights they have a knack for putting together bouts that more often than not are exciting and competitive. Strikeforce is clearly a promotion on the rise, and could be the USA&#8217;s #2 group before long.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When legendary quarterback Brett Favre announced his return to the NFL from what has become a seemingly annual flirtation with retirement, many second guessed the Minnesota Vikings&#8217; decision to sign &#8220;The Gunslinger&#8221;. On Sunday, Favre and the Vikings answered those critics in the best way possible-with a lopsided 34-3 beatdown of the Dallas Cowboys. Favre threw 4 touchdown passes in the victory and the Vikings&#8217; defense sacked Dallas QB Tony Romo six times in the blowout.</p>
<p>NFL football betting fans also cashed tickets on the Vikings as -3 point home favorites. This was the shortest pointspread of the divisional playoff weekend and many thought that Dallas&#8217; momentum would carry them to victory. The 37 combined points went UNDER the posted total of 45.</p>
<p>After the contest, Favre boasted that a playoff run was a large part of his motivation to return to NFL action:</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8221;This is what I came back for. Probably the most fatigued I got today was celebrating. I feel like I&#8217;m playing the same way. I have the same enthusiasm. As long as I&#8217;m out there, the enthusiasm and the passion that you see is real. And I know the guys feed off of that. Fans enjoy that, because it is real and genuine. Today was like this season: It&#8217;s been wonderful.&#8221;</p>
<p>Former South Carolina Gamecock Sidney Rice caught three of Favre&#8217;s touchdown passes:</p>
<p>&#8220;Same ol&#8217; Brett. He&#8217;s doing thing he&#8217;s done since he first came in the league: moving around, getting the ball out, breaking tackles and even running down the field and throwing blocks. That just shows you how big of a heart he has.&#8221;</p>
<p>Head coach Brad Childress mixed up a bunch of metaphors as he took a swipe at the prognosticators who picked Dallas to win:</p>
<p>&#8220;The Tasmanian devils were coming from Dallas that were about to bombard the state of Minnesota and run through us like Sherman through the South. All of us felt it quite palpably.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cowboys&#8217; QB didn&#8217;t have much to say in defeat:</p>
<p>&#8220;Any time you come in with the expectations and goals we set and don&#8217;t accomplish them, No. 1, it&#8217;s frustrating. Right now, it&#8217;s just hard to think the season is over.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cowboys&#8217; head coach Wade Phillips had a similar take:</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s like the elevator falling from the top. It&#8217;s tough when it&#8217;s over. If you don&#8217;t win it all, you have not reached your goal.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Vikings will now head to New Orleans for Sunday&#8217;s NFC Championship game against the Saints. Minnesota is a +3&#8242; point road underdog with the total set at 52&#8242;. The winner will advance to the Superbowl to take on the winner of the New York Jets/Indianapolis Colts contest.</p>
