Former Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson got revenge on the team that let him go in the best possible way. Benson amassed 189 yards rushing and led his new team, the Cincinnati Bengals, to a 45-10 rout over the visiting Bears on Sunday. Carson Palmer threw for five touchdowns with no interceptions in the blowout victory. Cincinnati improved to 5-2 with the win while Chicago dropped to 3-3 on the NFL season.

The Bengals also made short work of the NFL pointspread, easily covering as +1′ home underdogs. Cincinnati improved to 4-3 against the number while Chicago evened their ATS mark at 3-3. The 55 combined points sailed OVER the posted total of 42′.

A smug Benson described his feelings after the win:

“Everybody knew it was going to be an emotional day. Everybody knew. What a wonderful day and a wonderful thing, to go out there and strut your stuff.”

Despite the evidence to the contrary, Benson downplayed the motive of revenge:

“I continue to be as graceful as I can be. I’m not shoving anything in anybody’s face. Like I say, it wasn’t a revenge day for me. I just wanted to take advantage of the opportunities.”

He said his biggest problem was trying to keep his emotions in check and play under control:

“There were a few times where I may have gotten a little too hyped up, a little too antsy. A couple of drives, I found myself having to calm myself down and gather my emotions to stay poised. Once I got past that, we were good to go. Keep it rolling.”

Bengals’ receiver Chad Ochocinco had 10 catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns. He shared his thoughts postgame:

“I don’t understand why it went this way today and why it didn’t go that way last week or the week before that. The offensive line played unbelievable. For Ced to run the way he did today and for us to be able to throw, we could have done what we wanted to do.”

Chicago gave up more points than in any game all season, a fact that left defensive end Alex Brown looking for answers:

“That was pretty embarrassing. It’s embarrassing to come out and play like that. I tip my hat to their whole team. Cedric ran the ball like crazy. They did whatever they wanted to do.”

The Bengals will enjoy a bye week before hosting the Baltimore Ravens on November 8. They’ll then play two games on the road at Pittsburgh and Oakland. Chicago will try to get back on track this Sunday as they host the Cleveland Browns. The Bears are -13′ home favorites with the total set at 40. They’ll host the Arizona Cardinals the following Sunday before heading west for a Thursday night game against the San Francisco 49ers on November 12.

Its that time of the year again–Americans are getting ready for football. In a few months NFL teams will be opening training camp and college football teams starting practice. Up north, however, the footballs are already flying as pro football is in full swing up in Canada with the Canadian Football League (CFL).

American football fans may not realize just how long and storied the history of Canadian pro football CFL style actually is. The league has been around since’30 and the Grey Cup championship (essentially the CFL Superbowl) has been in existence since’09. Many NFL stars got their start in the CFL including Doug Flutie, Jim Kelly, and Jeff Garcia.

The CFL is a very professional and highly competitive league, but its important to understand some important differences between it and the NFL:

At the most basic level, the football itself is bigger than the NFL ball. It is longer and fatter than the NFL ball. The CFL goal posts are on the goal line, while the NFLs are on the end line at the back of the endzone. The CFL field is also longer (110 yards) and wider (65 yards vs. the NFLs 53.5 yards), and the CFL end zones are 20 yards deep as opposed to 10 yards in the NFL.

Teams have 12 players on the field at once as opposed to 11 in the NFL. On offense, the extra player is a receiver, on defense a defensive back. And unlike the American game, where teams have 4 downs to move the ball ten yards the CFL has only 3. Maybe the hardest thing to get used to when listening to CFL broadcasts is the frequently references to teams going two and out. There are a few other subtle differences as well”teams only have 1 time out per half, only 20 seconds between plays, and all backfield players can be in motion prior to the snap (as opposed to only one in the NFL).

A major difference in the scoring is the ’single’ which awards CFL teams one point for a kick–usually a punt or missed field goal–that lands in the end zone. This will frequently produce partial game scores of 1-0 or 1-1 that are impossible in the US game.

Of all the rule differences between the NFL and CFL the one that has the most significance on the game isnt enforced on the field; its enforced in the GMs office. Canadians are big on laws and rules to protect their national identity–thats why their TV and radio stations are required to devote a certain percentage of their airplay to Canadian content. That has led to a number of Canadian-only media stars both good (The Tragically Hip, Sloan) and bad (Avril Lavigne, early 90s white rapper Snow). The CFL has a similar rule which requires that’ of the 40 players on a roster must be Canadian born. This keeps the CFL from becoming a de facto NFL developmental league, and helps maintain its unique identity.

Despite the rule differences that suggest a higher scoring, more wide open style of play than in the NFL it really doesn’t work out that way. Most games end up with a final score in the 40’s and have a similar pace to their NFL counterparts. There may be a few individual rule differences, but a strong rushing game and defense are tickets to success in the CFL as in the NFL.

There’s also more parity in the CFL than even the NFL, which is famous for the competitive equality of their teams. The reason is fairly simple–football at the high school and college level in Canada simply isn’t as competitive as in the US. That means the mandated ratio of native players also serves to facilitate parity within the CFL.

Considering the 21 non- Canadians on the team, its also important to remember that the CFL doesnt get the pick of the litter of American football talent. Certainly those who have the ability are in the NFL, or on an NFL practice or developmental squad. While some players are uniquely suited for the CFL game–former Clemson University QB Nealon Greene, for example, who couldnt make the NFL but has had a lengthy career in Canada–most of the Americans in the CFL are players whose ability just isnt up to NFL levels. Remember Vince McMahon’s failed XFL experiment? That gives a good indication of the type of American player that ends up in Canada.

Despite the differences between the CFL and American football, at the end of the day its still high level, professional football. Once you understand the unique aspects of the CFL, it’ll become second nature much as NFL viewers quickly assimilate rule changes there.

You wont see CFL news on ESPN, since theyre more interested in featuring spelling bees and lumberjack competitions and letting their personalities like Stuart Scott show how clever they are than covering sports. The good news is that the CFL receives extensive coverage in the Canadian press and all you need to do is visit a couple of websites to stay up to date. Each CFL city has their own sports media, and most have pretty good websites. The best one stop shopping can be found at the leagues own and Slam! Sports, which is roughly the Canadian equivalent of ESPNs website and has extensive CFL news, opinions and statistics.

Ever wondered what makes one website make it to the top of a search engine like Google’s list? Well it may or may not be that they are any better than the one on the bottom of the list. It has to do with getting backlinks. While surfing the web you give backlinks to the sites that you visit. So if your site gets more backlinks the better site it is deemed to be by all search engines

Not all backlinks are the same and one type can help your website rise higher in the search engine standings. There is a two-way backlink, which means that your site has a link on it to another site that has a link back to yours. Then there is the one-way back this means that on you site you have a link to another site, but they have no link back to yours. Search engines now days are all about the one-way backlink.

Now you are on the hunt for one-way backlinks, but where do you look? The top two ways of getting the backlinks that you need will require a lot of hard work.

1. Get ready to do some smooth talking because you need help from webmasters that don’t need yours. These webmasters are already where you want to be at the top of search engine lists. Because these sites have the attention of the search engines and if your link is on their page they will look at yours. You need to contact them and try and find a way to get them to put a one-way backlink on their site to yours. Some webmasters you may not be able to work anything out with. Others you might. It could be something as little as telling them in the email when you contact them have much you would appreciate it.

2. The next is the main reason why people give up. It is because the second method is article marketing. That may sound simple, but I am not talking about five or ten articles. You will need at least twenty to thirty articles before you start seeing any results. This does produce results. Some of the top marketers that have different sites may use up into the hundreds of articles.

Look at blogs, industry specific directory listing and other directories while doing research for one-way backlinks. This way you can make sure you find the best solution for you. Top Ways To Get One-Way Backlinks Ever wondered what makes one website make it to the top of a search engine like Google’s list? Well it may or may not be that they are any bett…

White cyc is a particular component used to make a cyclorama that surrounds the stage. All of the developments in technology did very little to alter how the cyc is lighted through the years. The fresh technology has elevated the importance of accurate lighting style and ultizing the right kind of substance for the white cyc.

What technology has been doing is to obtain century old technologies and make its use important for generating digital background scenes for virtual reality. This is performed for special effects from the up and coming flood of motion pictures, and various video programs dependent on computer devices demanding perfect virtual backgrounds that may simply be developed in white cyc galleries. White cyc studios technological know-how goes back to 19th century German Theaters and has moved around the entertainment industry for years. White wall exterior was adopted for early twentieth century Broadway musicals and finally ended up in Hollywood use for creating special effects.

The white cyclorama is an extremely handy tool with regards to lighting the white area stage set. The white cyclorama gives the lighting developer with an abundant quantity of lighting opportunities for staging the specified special effects landscape. The white cyc with suitable lighting effects will draw the audiences concentration to the subject which the filmmaker hopes to showcase. This is the main benefit of white surface backdrops, and the reason why white wall galleries are employed for TV commercials, news programs, music videos, dance workouts, and other types of video media. White is employed for the shade of the cyc since it leaves the backdrop empty so a different backdrop with all the ideal effect can substitute it. The void backdrop is great for digital fashion photography increasing the model’s physical appearance and always keeping complete concentration the model.

The one or more white cyc studios technology walls can be painted green to combine green screen effects within the white cyclorama facilities. This is guaranteed as the cyc is void of background allowing for the green screen backdrop effect to be shown in place of the white cyclorama background. The cyclorama enhances the green screen special effect by supplying it illusions of detail and unlimited space. Robert Rodriguez employed a technique similar to this while he was filming Sin City when he uses his 1956 Chevy Panel truck in the movie. He sets his pickup truck on a platform and films it from several camera angles. The stars had been shot in front of a green screen backdrop and were composite in the pickup truck film to seem to be inside of the vehicle. In reality the celebrities never were in the truck during filming. With the increasing number of special effects in films and TV programs nowadays cyc lighting is very important in creating special visual effects.

Movie companies have uncertainties regarding using white cyclorama studios for special effects. The producer’s queries are quickly dismissed with clear idea of what the cyclorama studios are capable of doing when they begin to see the outcomes from the production studios. Another use for white cyc studios technology backdrops is actually on talk shows when music groups visit to play one of their new music pieces. The white background gives the right area for creating a fast music environment.

There are so many other sites giving a variety of forms of advice on how to use White Cyc but a lot of them are not very specific or precise. Before following these, be sure to check my own articles and reviews on White Cyc Studios and White Cyc Rentals, You can reach me at phillipguye@hotmail.com

Telepathy is the direct transfer of thoughts, emotions, or feelings from one person to another person using only the power of the mind.

The telepathic ability is one that all humans possess to some degree, but have lost the means by which to control it on a conscious level. We all experience moments of telepathic activity subconsciously from time to time. Imagine being able to control that innate ability and use it to communicate.

There is no shortage of skeptics when it comes to telepathy, or in fact about any mental ability. However, consider this first , how many times have you been on top of the world when you run into someone you know who is feeling miserable; and after talking to this person for only a short time, you begin to take on the same mood? Probably more times than you can count.

Its not what they were saying to you; not with their mouths, anyway. What has happened here is that you were telepathically receiving their emotions and feelings.

It has been shown in studies that the part of the subconscious mind which controls telepathy can be activated. What you need to do is to focus on the person with whom you want to communicate in this way.

As with any other form of communication, we are taught as children by our elders. Our parents teach us speech and body language, so that we mimic the same language and even the same accents. This is because we all have the same ability to learn to communicate, but we only communicate in the ways in which we were taught.

Of course, your parents probably never taught you to use your telepathic abilities, but this does not mean that you cannot use them. All it means is that you have not yet been taught how.

Here are some methods which can help you to develop your inherent telepathic abilities.

Mental-Muscle training

Just as we have to learn how to control our vocal chords as children to form speech, your telepathic muscles will also need some training.

The part of your brain which is responsible for telepathy is most readily accessed while you are in a trance state. This is a state of deep relaxation which can be reached through meditation and other techniques.

The key is to practice relaxation techniques until you can easily attain this trance state. Once you can do this, youll be well on your way to developing your telepathic abilities.

Focus

Learning to maintain your minds focus while youre in a trance state can be quite difficult to master. During your next deep relaxation session, focus on someone youd like to contact you.

Visualize them and project positive thoughts. Visualize them receiving your thoughts. Remain focused on this until the recipient has had enough time to absorb these thoughts.

Then, break off the focus. You need to break the telepathic link so that they can feel this communication being cut off and start trying to contact you with their mind.

You should begin practicing like this individually so that when you start training with a partner you will have already laid the necessary groundwork to send and receive these mental transmissions.

Partner Practice

One partner will be the sender and the other will be the receiver in this exercise. The sender should begin by projecting simple thoughts such as bright colors.

The receiver should keep a writing utensil and paper close at hand so that they can write down any communications they receive from the sender.

At the end of each practice session, compare notes and see how many images and impressions are correct. The more practice you get, the more accurate your image reception will become.
