Revive The Romance, Visit A Spa

By Grace Anderson

The world keeps on turning. And the demands never cease howling. Tensions from daily struggles often make individuals feeling troubled and disconnected socially, emotionally, and physically, which could perhaps induce strife between couples.

A solution must be discovered.. And that's one of the causes of the existence of spas.

A spa stopover, even for just a matter of one hour, could do wonders for couples to revive the romance that's been dominated by towering obligations.

A lot of couples want the idea of spending a romantic day at the spa together, but the preparation and schedules commonly place them off. Good thing now most spas have websites, so it's easier to look at their services and compare with other spas. The minute couples are past the stage of planning, a spa get-away will certainly do wonders for couples.

Some spas, if not all, have rooms particularly meant for couples to find that privacy they so need. And couples can pick out from the different couple massages available on the spa menu. Going to a spa together allows a couple to spend time with each other and enjoy the pleasures of a massage. In this way, they get reconnected and renewed.

Normally, high end spas have extra amenities for couples to savor from like a Jacuzzi, a lounging area to unwind and enjoy a cup of tea, and some also provides steam bath.

With their busy work, it is a bit challenging to get each other's hectic schedule match for a spa visit. However, when they get there, normally, perspectives are changed and moods are better as they get treated to a relaxing spa aroma.

A date in a spa not only proves to be romantic, but a healthy one as well as couples get the benefits of a spa massage and the pampering in special aromatherapy treatments .

Steelers Send Vikings To First Defeat Of Season

By Ross Everett

Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings are undefeated no more. The Pittsburgh Steelers' used a couple of big plays from their defense in the fourth quarter to break open a close game and defeat the Vikings by a final score of 27-17. Favre put up decent yardage in the loss, throwing for 334 yards but had no touchdowns and an interception. The defending Superbowl Champion Steelers improved to 5-2, while the Vikings are now 6-1.

NFL pointspread players who backed the Steelers as -6 home favorites were rewarded with the cover. Pittsburgh had only covered one of their first six games heading into the contest, and the win improved their record against the number to 2-5. Minnesota dropped to 4-3 against the spread with the setback. The 44 points scored went UNDER the posted total of 46'.

The Steelers largely shut down Minnesota's rushing game, holding Adrian Peterson to 69 yards. Pittsburgh safety Ryan Clark underscored his team's dominance against the run:

"That's the biggest point of the game. You have the best running back in the world and you don't give it to him. They're saying they can't beat us running, and that's a major statement when you have the guy they have back there."

Favre gave a mealy mouthed justification for the loss in his postgame interview:

"There were a lot of what ifs, a lot of reasons we didn't win. The red zone was one of them. They're physical, and they were as good as we thought they'd be. ... When I came here and looked at our schedule and saw the Steelers game, I went, 'Oh-h-h.' "

Favre has only thrown three interceptions in a Vikings' uniform, but #3 was a costly one as it was returned by Steelers' Keyaron Fox for a touchdown to put the game out of reach as Minnesota was driving for a potential game tying field goal. Afterwards, Fox recalled the play:

"Brett tried to force it in there and the running back bobbled it and slipped out of his hands and it fell into my lap. I had just run across the field after Peterson and I was winded, so it felt like it was 100-plus yards."

The Vikings now face another big game next week as they head to Favre's old stomping grounds in Green Bay for a battle with the Packers. It'll be Favre's first appearance at his old home in an enemy uniform. The Vikings are a +3 road underdog with the total set at 48. The Vikings will then have a bye weekend before hosting the lowly Detroit Lions on November 15. Pittsburgh will enjoy a bye week this week before returning to action on Monday, November 9th facing the Denver Broncos on the road.

Helio Gracie: Father Of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

By Ross Everett

Helio Gracie--patriarch of the legendary Gracie MMA family--died earlier this year in Rio De Janeiro at age 95. His influence on martial arts, and even more so the sport that is known known as mixed martial arts, is staggering. The Gracie family name will forever be synonymous with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, MMA and the UFC due to the accomplishments of Helio Gracie and his progeny.

Helio Gracie began training in judo early in life, and by the age of 16 had already begun to teach others in his native Brazil. He was bothered by judo's reliance on 'brute strength', however, and along with his brother Carlos began to adapt many of its forms to a new fighting system more reliant on leverage than strength. This prompted the creation of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), frequently called Gracie Jiu Jitsu in his honor.

Gracie also had a professional fighting career, taking on champions from other disciplines in a forerunner to modern mixed martial arts. These bouts were grueling, unregulated affairs with rules that were often made up as they went along and time limits that seem barbaric by todays standards. By his own recollection, he had 15 fights against the top fighters of his day. He began his career in'32 by submitting professional boxer Antonio Portugal (whod likely never even heard of a submission at that point, let alone experienced one) in just 32 seconds. Later that year, he fought American catch wrestler Frank Ebert to a draw after the ringside doctor ordered the bout stopped after an ungodly fourteen ten minute rounds.

Gracie's most famous opponent was against legendary Japanese judoka Masahiko Kimura. Gracie fought bravely in a losing cause, and ironically may have enhanced his reputation in defeat. He refused to submit to a reverse arm bar (the move that is now known as a 'kimura' in honor of its inventor), and the fight ended after his brother Carlos threw in the towel after Helio's arm had been broken.

Gracies influence on the Brazilian sports scene, and later the nascent sport of mixed martial arts, would continue through his family. Married twice, he had seven sons (Rickson, Royler, Rolker, Royce, Relson, Robin and Rorion) and two daughters (Rerika and Ricci), many of whom went on to make their own mark on the fight sport world. Royce Gracie is well known as the first UFC superstar, while sons Rickson Royler, Renzo have also achieved considerable fame in professional MMA. At the time of his death, Helio Gracie was a 6th Dan Judo black belt and the only living 10th degree master of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

The cause of Gracies death was officially given as natural causes. He had been having stomach problems for several days prior to his passing, and was admitted to a Rio hospital for this reason. His seriously epic last words will go down as a fitting envoi to a man who gave so much of himself to fighting:

"I created a flag from the sports dignity. I oversee the name of my family with affection and nerves of blood.

Absolute Beginners Guide To Astral Projection

By Samuel K. Millings

Generally speaking, the majority of people have at one point in their life heard the term 'astral projection.' This could have been from an enlightened friend, a book or a movie. Few people though understand that astral projection is a real event, and that it is something that everyone can do. Chances are very high that you have astral projected and didn't even realize it.

First, you need to understand that astral projection is real. It is the ability of any individual to leave their body. We all have this ability, it happens as we lay sleeping during the night. While we sleep, our physical body is at rest, the subconscious mind then takes control. While this is going on an individual is astral projecting, although for the most part, they will not remember doing so.

You go wherever you want to go when you project. If you can recall your childhood you may be able to remember having the ability to do this after going to sleep, eventually you forgot, as you got older. There is no such thing as time and distance when it concerns astral projection, you can go anywhere. While you are sleeping, your physical body is asleep. Your astral body travels.

You may wonder what the astral body is. It is the ethereal body; it is the duplicate of the body in an invisible form. All of our desires and feeling originate from there. Can the astral body leave and not come back? A silver cord unites the astral and physical bodies.

This silver cord was connected the first time the astral body entered the physical body and can not be severed until the astral body leaves the physical body for the last time, death. It is the silver cord that prevents the astral body from straying away.

Another question that many have is where do you go when you astral project? The astral body goes to the astral plane, which is the body double' of the Earth. This vibrates faster then the physical Earth and these vibrations penetrate to the Earth's core. Others define the astral plane as another dimension of reality. Most will agree though that there is more then one level to the astral plane.

Naturally, the question of danger astral projecting comes to mind. The answer is both yes and no. We all have the ability to astral project. We know that the astral body can leave the physical body it will return. However, we must be sensible as with all things. Astral projection requires a good solid thinking skills and understanding what it is you want and where you would like to go.

Astral projection can be dangerous if you practice it with an unsound mind. Anyone under the influence of drugs and alcohol can wind up involved in an undesirable predicament at lower levels of the astral plane.

This is why it is important that you know what you are doing and where it is you want to go. The goal is to astral project consciously. You should have complete control over what your astral body is doing. The control comes from your thoughts.

When you prepare yourself properly, beforehand you can train yourself to astral project very quickly. Some individuals prefer doing astral projection alone in their homes. Meanwhile, others learn various methods that help them gain control and enjoy their experiences while being lead by numerous professionals in the astral projection field.

There are various types of online resources such as books available. You can create the proper state of mind when you listen to quality astral projection hypnosis recordings. These can enhance your relaxation and take you through the variety of stages. You can repeatedly play these recordings over again until your subconscious mind understands the message that it is fine for you to leave your body. They are most beneficial.

Binaural beats is the most recent of astonishing sound technology advances. It plays slightly different tones of sound frequencies in the ears simultaneously. This works well for inducing relaxation and the deep state of meditation rather quickly. This is fundamental for the success of astral projection.

If you are unsuccessful, your first few times when you begin astral projecting do not become discouraged. Practice will make perfect since this is not something that you cannot already do. We can all do it. However, it does take fine-tuning to trigger the natural ability since you have forgotten how to.

Still need to be convinced? When did you last dream you were flying and then felt as though you were falling? As the astral body, moves through the astral plane it, feels like flying. The sensation of falling comes when the astral body comes back into the physical body. Astral projection is very real. Anyone can do it and find benefit in it. However, you do have to invest time in fine-tuning your natural ability in order to reach the kind of success you desire with astral projection. It will become easier to do once you begin your journey while projecting.
