			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thiago Alves dominated the former UFC welterweight champion en route to a 2nd round TKO victory at UFC 83. The main event at UFC 85 in London was somewhat anticlimactic to the fans at the O2 Arena who considered the semifinal matchup between Manchester&#8217;s Michael Bisping and Jason Day the biggest fight on the card. Bisping actually improved upon his excellent showing against Charles McCarthy at UFC 83 and pummeled Day mercilessly from the top mount position until the fight was stopped.</p>
<p>Hughes didn&#8217;t make any excuses following his one sided loss, saying simply that hes a good fighter and he got me. The longtime king of the UFCs welterweight division also gave notice that his career as an active fighter was drawing to a close, suggesting that he had one fight left and challenging Matt Serra in what presumably would be his retirement match. Hughes had no answer for Alves from the opening horn, as he was stuffed on several takedown attempts early on. When he did finally get his opponent to the ground he was unable to do much damage. Alves, conversely, scored effectively with his striking including several damaging knee strikes. He also did considerable work on the ground, with an elbow strike opening up a large cut on Hughes forehead. Though he didnt get to his knees a la Georges St. Pierre, Alves did make a plea to Dana White for a title shot. His failure to make weight wont help his cause, however, and judging from the UFC Presidents incredulous smirk in response that opportunity wont be immediately forthcoming.</p>
<p>The end came early in the 2nd round as Hughes was caught coming in by a devastating knee strike. He fell to the canvas in a heap and referee Herb Dean was jumping in to stop the contest before Alves could follow up with any punches. As the ringside physician entered the ring to check on the fallen fighter, Hughes gave an indication that his knee was injured. Replays showed that his knee buckled under him in a very awkward fashion as he fell and while the extent of the damage is yet to be determined Hughes indicated in the postfight interview that it was messed up.</p>
<p>Michael Bisping simply overwhelmed Jason Day en route to a lopsided TKO victory. Bisping built upon the improved boxing skills he demonstrated at UFC 83 by unveiling an impressive ground and pound attack. Day never really got anything going and by the last minute of the fight was simply trying to cover up to prevent damage from Bispings elbows and hammer fists. Between his move down to the middleweight division and his improved technical striking skills, Bisping looks like a different fighter. His post UFC 83 suggestion that he wanted a fight with Anderson Silva seemed premature at the time, but following another devastating performance its starting to look much more realistic.</p>
<p>In other action, Mike Swick used an array of high kicks and a 7 reach advantage to coast to a unanimous decision over Marcus Davis. Davis, a former professional boxer, was unable to get inside against his lanky opponent and was never really in the fight. Like Bisping, Swick may have made an excellent career choice by moving down in weight. His height and reach, combined with a well rounded striking game, makes him a particularly different matchup at the lower weight.</p>
<p>A controversial point deduction for a strike to the back of the head cost Nate Marquardt his match against Thales Leites. Marquardt was solidly in charge for the entire fight, but suffered a point deduction for an illegal knee strike in round one. While that infraction was valid, replays of the 2nd round deduction for the strike to the back of the head gave the impression that he was penalized for a legal strike to the side of the head. The 2 point deduction changed the outcome of the fight, with Leites winning a split decision by the scores of 28-27, 28-27, 27-28.</p>
<p>In the opening PPV match, another controversial ending saw Fabrico Werdum defeat Brandon Vera by 1st round KO. The fight had been evenly contested up until the stoppage, with Werdum scoring a couple of takedown and Vera countering with some effective punching. Late in the first round, Werdum got a full mount and began to fire a series of punches. Vera was clearly defending himself and didnt appear to be hurt at all when the referee jumped in to stop the fight. Vera said that hed answered that he was OK when asked by ref Dan Miragliotta and that he was just trying to ride out the round from that position. Mirgliotta was also the referee in the Kimbo Slice/James Thompson fight, and some have suggested that matchup was also stopped prematurely.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have heard about lucid dreaming and think it is something you would like to do. That is a good starting point but exactly how do you begin and what are the steps to being a successful lucid dreamer?</p>
<p>You also need to think about exactly why you want to become a lucid dreamer. What are the benefits of dreaming lucidly? To help us find the benefits, let us first look at &#8216;normal&#8217; sleep.</p>
<p>Have you ever considered the process of sleep before? Every night you make preparations, crawl into bed and go to sleep. You may have dreams or nightmares or all may just be dark for a few hours, it is rather boring isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>Normal sleep just seems to serve the purpose of simply refreshing ourselves in order to live out the next day. But what if you could control that period of time that you have dreams?</p>
<p>What if rather than being an active observer, you can be the one who can lead your dream to be whatever you want, rather than your dream leading you? This is what a lucid dreamer is; someone who is in total control of their dreams; able to explore new worlds that are not bound to the physical, societal and time-space laws of the real world.</p>
<p>Are you are ready to begin but remain unsure of how any of this is possible? That is ok we are getting there, there are two way to enter lucid dream state. The first is a dream initiated lucid dream, (DILD). This happens once you have already begun to dream and during the dream, you come to the realization that you are indeed dreaming. At this point, you have brought an element of control to the dream because your conscious mind is now involved.</p>
<p>Another popular method is to have a wake initiated lucid dream (WILD); this is a straight shot from awake to asleep with no lapse in your consciousness. This is usually achieved by purposefully retaining awareness during the hypnagoogic state, which directly precedes sleep.</p>
<p>So, what methods are used to induce both of these kinds of lucid dream experiences?</p>
<p>Dream Recall</p>
<p>A simple place to start when you would like to lucid dream is in dream recall. This is where you can remember and perhaps recite your dream in part or in whole. You are very likely to have the same dream more than once in your life and being able to remember them will alert you the next time you have that particular dream.</p>
<p>To make dream recall easier you can keep a dream journal. This is a notebook or pad of paper that has the sole purpose of recording your dreams. Whenever you have a dream, you should write all you can remember in the journal as soon as you wake up. The longer you are awake the more details of the dream that will be lost.</p>
<p>Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams (MILD)</p>
<p>Developed by Dr. Stephen LaBerge the idea is to tell your self to recall an object or situation from your dreams, before you go to sleep. You can look back to your dream journal for an example of a recurring them like a pink haired woman. Anything that when you see it in your dream will tell you that you are in fact dreaming.</p>
<p>Wake-Back-to-Bed (WBTB)</p>
<p>The process here is to go to sleep, doing nothing but setting your alarm to wake you up a few hours later (5 or 6). Once you wake up, DO NOT go back to sleep. Instead, do something else like read for a while, or think as much as you can about lucid dreaming for around an hour then go back to bed.</p>
<p>According to Stephen LaBerge, there is a 60% success rate of this technique. The reason why is that you would have woken up during the process of sleep, meaning that your mind is not fully aware of this, and are still in the middle of REM cycle. So basically, it&#8217;s like going to your mind and telling it that you want to lucid dream.</p>
<p>Cycle Adjustment Technique</p>
<p>This technique was created by Daniel Love, and involves setting an alarm that will wake you an hour and a half before you&#8217;d normally get up. Once you&#8217;re used to waking up early, alternate between the early alarm and your old alarm. When you&#8217;re waking up normally, your body will already be expecting the early alarm, and make you more likely to &#8220;wake up&#8221; in your dream.</p>
<p>Wake-Initiation of Lucid Dream (WILD)</p>
<p>When you consider all the methods and techniques wake initiated is by far the most intriguing way to enter lucid dreams. What you have to do is manage to keep the brain aware while the rest of you falls asleep. You can enter your dreams much like entering a theater. You go into watch the movie, set down and the light go down, (sleep) dark envelopes you just before the movements on the screen appear.</p>
<p>To get into this correct frame of mind if you will there are a few tricks you can use. Focus seems to be key so try to focus your mind on things like your breathing, counting, perhaps chant or meditate. In a way, you are practicing self-hypnosis. Use this technique when you are not extremely tired, perhaps during a late nap.</p>
<p>Technology has moved on in recent years, and there are various devices like dreaming masks and other scientific appliances which contain such things as strobe lights to induce lucid dreams.</p>
<p>Definitely the easiest and most reliable way of inducing a lucid dream however is by listening to binaural beats sound frequencies via headphones.</p>
<p>These work by synchronizing the two hemispheres of the brain and have the effect of almost instantaneously changing your brainwaves to the REM frequency needed for a lucid dream to occur.</p>
<p>Combined with the self hypnosis sessions and affirmations to prepare your subconscious mind beforehand, becoming a lucid dreamer is something that everyone can now experience!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The New York Jets and rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez found a sure fire cure to their recent struggles-a game against the lowly Oakland Raiders. Sanchez passed for&#8211;3 yards and a touchdown, plus added a rushing touchdown as New York thumped Oakland 38-0 in the largest regular season shutout win in franchise history. Oakland quarterback JaMarcus Russell continued to struggle, and he passed for just 61 yards with three interceptions before he was benched in favor of Bruce Gradowski.</p>
<p>NFL football betting enthusiasts who took the Jets as -6 road favorites had smooth sailing throughout the game for an easy pointspread cover. The Jets improved to 4-3 against the spread while the Raiders fell to 3-5 against the number. The 38 points scored went OVER the posted total of 34. Oakland failed to score a touchdown for the 15th game in the past four seasons.</p>
<p>It was such an effortless game that the only thing that Sanchez had to apologize for was surreptitiously eating a hot dog near the end of the contest:</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to apologize for that. I wasn&#8217;t feeling very good and didn&#8217;t eat much before the game, so I was feeling a little queasy. Toward the end of the game, I probably should have eaten one of those bars or something, but someone offered a hot dog, so I grabbed it and tried to be discreet about it, but obviously not discreet enough. So I shouldn&#8217;t have done that, and it won&#8217;t happen again.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Jets capitalized on three early Raiders&#8217; turnovers and started two of their first three drives inside the five yardline. Sanchez praised the defense for making his job easy:</p>
<p>&#8220;It makes it so easy on the offense when your defense is playing like that. Hats off to them, they had a heck of a game to shut that team out. I don&#8217;t care who we&#8217;re playing, that&#8217;s a big-time accomplishment for our team.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jets&#8217; coach Rex Ryan was very pleased with Sanchez&#8217;s performance:</p>
<p>&#8220;Sanchez was great. He was just smart with the football. I think sometimes he could have put the ball on a receiver, but he was making sure the ball wasn&#8217;t intercepted. It was great to see him respond.&#8221;</p>
<p>Raiders&#8217; defensive lineman Richard Seymour, who boldly predicted the team would make the playoffs despite their slow start, was singing a different tune after the rout:</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think we could have beaten an Oakland high school team today.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite Russell&#8217;s struggles, Oakland coach Tom Cable remains committed to him as the team&#8217;s starter:</p>
<p>&#8220;I thought he was really out of sorts early in the game. I just did not feel like at that point he gave us the best chance to have the success we needed to have offensively and made the move. JaMarcus will continue to be our starter. There is no issue there.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Raiders will try to bounce back this weekend in a big rivalry game on the road against the San Diego Chargers. Oakland is +16&#8242; road underdogs with the total set at 42&#8242;. They&#8217;ll then enjoy a bye week before back to back home games against the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals. The Jets host Miami this Sunday, with New York a -3&#8242; home favorite and the total set at 40&#8242;. They&#8217;ll also have a bye week to look forward to before returning to action at home on November 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Last Dragon is a film that was produced by Motown Records in the mid eighties as a sort of a Kung Fu comedy flick. It was really meant to promote some music from the company like Oh Sheila, but the flick has actually stood the test of time as one of the all time must download movies of the eighties. It&#8217;s a lot of fun, it&#8217;s kind of corny, and it works as an action movie.</p>
<p>The film follows Bruce Leroy, or so is his nickname. He&#8217;s a young martial artist from Harlem who works for his father&#8217;s pizza parlor while teaching Kung Fu to the local neighborhood kids. Throughout his adventures, he also has to keep his cool and composure while dealing with his rival, Sho&#8217;Nuff, who&#8217;s always trying to get a rise out of him. Sho&#8217;Nuff, you see, is the Shogun of Harlem&#8230; Yep, the Shogun of Harlem. That&#8217;s what he likes to call himself.</p>
<p>Sho&#8217;Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem, is really a cinematic treasure as far as great film characters go. He tries to egg Bruce Leroy into a fight so that he can prove, once and for all, who the strongest fighter in the city is. Every time he steps on scene, it&#8217;s with a short speech, aided by his lackeys. &#8220;Am I the prettiest?!&#8221; &#8220;SHO NUFF!&#8221; &#8220;Am I the baddest?!&#8221; &#8220;SHO NUFF!&#8221; &#8220;Am I the meanest, leanest mofo around dis town?!&#8221; &#8220;SHO NUFF!&#8221; &#8220;SHO&#8217;NUFF! Da Shogun of Harlem!&#8221; He wears visor sunglasses, a samurai&#8217;s hakama (those baggy pants that disguise foot movement), and shoulder pads, as well as a top knot&#8230; He looks ridiculous and he&#8217;s just a joy to behold.</p>
<p>The only downside to the movie is the comparatively less interesting subplot revolving around a really, really awful Cyndi Lauper style singer and her manager/boyfriend who&#8217;s trying to get her some airtime on a local music show, produced and hosted by Bruce Leroy&#8217;s would-be-lover. This subplot isn&#8217;t the most interesting part of the film, but fortunately it&#8217;s not a main focus.</p>
<p>And of course, it does pay off in the end when the manager hires all the baddest dudes in the city to have it out with Bruce Leroy and his students. These &#8220;bad dudes&#8221; include a big fat old white guy with a Mister T Mohawk and an all gold one piece suit&#8230; Yep, real bad dudes, these guys.</p>
<p>There are also some really fun, corny moments along the way. At one point, Leroy tries to seek wisdom from the guy who writes the fortune cookies at the local Chinese restaurant, only to find that they&#8217;re written by a computer. Therein he finds that zen wisdom of emptiness and being.</p>
<p>Could the movie have been a bit better without the subplot about the record promoter and his girlfriend? Sure, but there&#8217;s always something about every movie where it &#8220;could have been better&#8221;. Regardless, what&#8217;s there is a fun, funny, corny, exciting little gem of a film. Half kung fu, half spoof of kung fu, and all eighties.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s exciting, funny, colorful and kind of corny, and a lot of fun. Get a few beers and some buddies and give it a download. You&#8217;ll definitely enjoy the show if nothing else.</p>
<p>Also they should receive occasional incentives to remain on your list, eg. <a href="http://www.moviedownloadsites.net">Free Movie Download Sites</a> The quality of the acts was of the highest level of any event at which I&#8217;ve been a panelist. If you have ever worked in radio, which I did for four years, you know that in many cases it&#8217;s the truth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The UFC has only recently brought mixed martial arts to the mainstream in the US, but in Japan there&#8217;s a long tradition of fights pitting contestants from different disciplines against each other. While they&#8217;ve only been called MMA or &#8216;mixed martial arts&#8217; in recent years, the sport clearly has its roots in these early contests between wrestlers, judo fighters and boxers. In Japan, Antonio Inoki&#8217;s fights against world famous martial artists brought great notoriety to the still evolving sport.</p>
<p>Inoki would often face other martial artists in fights that are widely accepted to have been &#8220;worked&#8221; (having a predetermined outcome) in the same manner as professional wrestling matches. While Inoki faced a number of karate, judo and boxing champions his most famous match was certainly his fight against world heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali.</p>
<p>There are differing accounts of how the best heavyweight boxer in history found himself in a ring in Tokyo&#8217;s Budokan Arena against a pro wrestler. One thing is certain&#8211;it was viewed as an easy payday for Ali, who&#8217;d lost a good chunk of his prime earning years to his controversial stance over the Vietnam war. That&#8217;s what got him there in the first place, and that&#8217;s what kept him there after the two sides began squabbling over the rules and the outcome of the fight. Some suggest that it was supposed to be a &#8220;fair fight&#8221; going in and once Ali saw Inoki spar he insisted on rules changes to tilt the fight in his favor. Another more likely version of the story suggests that Ali&#8217;s handlers knew that the fight was supposed to be a &#8220;work&#8221; all along. They made the deal with Inoki&#8217;s people based on this fact, and were all on board as to the outcome of the match and how it would &#8220;finish&#8221;. The &#8220;original&#8221; plan was to have Inoki win in a controversial manner that would keep his undefeated streak in &#8220;MMA&#8221; matches intact while allowing Ali to &#8220;save face. The only person who wasn&#8217;t aware of the game plan, however, was Ali himself. When informed that he was supposed to &#8220;take a dive&#8221;, even in a convoluted fashion, Ali refused. No agreement was reached between the two camps and at the last minute a legit fight transpired. The promoters were left with a sold out Budokan, a worldwide PPV audience and two fighters who despite every effort to the contrary would actually have to fight each other.</p>
<p>Many conspiracy theorists have noted that these rules were never announced to the crowd on fight night, leaving many with the impression that they were being made up as they went along. Action in the fight would further validate this view, but there actually were rules that both camps agreed to heading into the fight. Not surprisingly, most of these were designed to protect Ali. In fact, they were so one-sided that if Inoki hadn&#8217;t been so concerned about preserving his big payday he would have been justified in not fighting. Inoki was prohibited from punching with a closed fist or striking Ali in the head (ostensibly since he wasn&#8217;t wearing gloves). Inoki was prohibited from using any sort of submission maneuver. The most absurd limitation was that Inoki was prohibited from &#8220;grappling or trying to take Ali to the ground&#8221;. A few observers noted that this was like not letting Ali throw a jab.</p>
<p>The painfully boring event that ensued was, despite many suggestions to the contrary, an actual fight. Inoki spent most of the match on the ground, unsuccessfully imploring Ali to join him and throwing kicks at his opponent&#8217;s legs. Ali did even less throughout the match, throwing a few jabs and trying to protect his knees and legs. The fight was scored on a 5 point system, and ended up in a 74-74 draw. It&#8217;s worth noting that Inoki had three points deducted for very dubious infractions: the first for throwing (and missing) with a drop kick, the second for throwing an elbow to Ali&#8217;s head and the third for a swift kick to Ali&#8217;s ribs. Had these deductions not occurred, Inoki would have won by decision. From a strict standpoint of scoring boxing, he probably deserved to win since he at least tried to execute a fight plan despite the restrictions he faced. For all practical purposes, however, a draw was the proper outcome. Both guys got paid and no one won, least of all the fans.</p>
<p>Some interesting trivia about the fight&#8211;the referee was former pro wrestler &#8220;Judo&#8221; Gene Labell, who is considered by many &#8216;the baddest man on the planet&#8217; even in his 80&#8242;s. He could have very likely beaten up both men at the same time&#8211;a spectacle that might have been welcomed by the live crowd and closed circuit audience worldwide.</p>
<p>The fiasco didn&#8217;t hurt Inoki&#8217;s popularity in Japan whatsoever. Oddly, he became something of a hero for trying to take the fight to Ali despite the one sided rules. He would remain one of Japan&#8217;s most popular pro wrestlers and later serve in the country&#8217;s parliament. Inoki&#8217;s fights against other martial artists remained wildly popular, and are often credited as being the forerunner of PRIDE, RINGS and the major MMA organizations in Japan today.</p>
