			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Atlanta Falcons are making a statement that they&#8217;ll be a factor in the NFC. The Falcons starters behind QB Matt Ryan were almost flawless, and left the reserves with a 14-0 lead before eventually beating the St. Louis Rams 20-13 at the Edward Jones Dome on Friday night.</p>
<p>Running back Michael Turner was unstoppable in his limited playing time, churning out 65 yards in the Falcons opening drive. After the game, he confirmed that the Falcons offense had placed a priority on flawless execution:</p>
<p>&#8220;We wanted to come out and execute. They were preaching that all week and we wanted to show that on game day. We&#8217;re way better than we were last year at this time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Quarterback Matt Ryan was 7 of 8 for 81 yards and a touchdown pass before he called it a night. Tony Gonzalez praised his signal caller in his postgame comments:</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a great quarterback. It&#8217;s obvious he&#8217;s figuring things out. He has a great arm, talent, and knows how to play with poise.&#8221;</p>
<p>It was a disappointing home debut for new Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo, who tried to frame the loss as a learning experience:</p>
<p>&#8220;Just like I said to the team, we&#8217;d have liked to have started out a little better. You&#8217;ve got to come out and take it to them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rams safety O.J. Atogwe sounded a similar tone:</p>
<p>&#8220;This was a fabulous game for us. That&#8217;s the reason you play the preseason. Going against a team like Atlanta, a top-caliber team, it allows us to reassess what we&#8217;ve been doing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Falcons coach Mike Smith, meanwhile, was enthused about the improved play of his rushing defense:</p>
<p>&#8220;We were much improved against the run. It&#8217;s something we have to continue to get better at. We still had some missteps.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Falcons will continue NFL preseason play next Friday night as they host the San Diego Chargers at the Georgia Dome. The Rams will play the Bengals at Cincinnati next Thursday night. Atlanta will get the NFL regular season underway on Sunday, September 13th as they host the Miami Dolphins while the Rams will head to the Pacific Northwest for a game against the Seahawks in Seattle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BJ Penn entered his main event battle against welterweight kingpin Georges St. Pierre looking to become the first man in UFC history to simultaneously hold titles in two weight classes. GSP never gave him the chance to make history, as he stopped Penn after four increasingly dominant rounds to retain his belt with a TKO victory and make a compelling case for being the pound for pound best fighter in mixed martial arts.</p>
<p>Both fighters had considerable fan support, with vocal, flag waving delegations from the Hawaiian Islands and Canada in evidence. During ring introductions, both men received enthusiastic cheers tempered with a few boos. After the opening horn sounded, however, the Penn backers had little to cheer about while the champions supports broke out in G-S-P chants on several occasions. The first round was fairly evenly contested, with St. Pierre trying to get a first hand feel for Penns often unorthodox&#8221;but highly successful&#8221;takedown defense. GSP made several takedown attempts, but had them repeatedly stuffed by Penns incredible balance and flexibility.</p>
<p>Boxing guru Freddy Roach recently praised Penn as the best technical puncher in MMA, but he had no opportunity to bring this weapon to bear as he had trouble finding the range from the outset. St. Pierre was unable to complete any takedowns during the first round, but easily dictated the pace and style of the bout.</p>
<p>GSP began to assert his dominance in round two&#8221;with Penn starting to fatigue he was no longer able to fend off St. Pierres single leg takedown attempts by balancing on one leg. GSP got a takedown early in the frame and began to mount a ground and pound assault while moving around in Penns legendary guard almost at will moving from half guard to side control with frightening ease. At this point, it was apparent that GSPs superior strength and insane physical conditioning were going to figure prominently in the outcome of the fight.</p>
<p>The eventual outcome was foretold between rounds two and three, as the obviously exhausted Penn required a pep talk from his entourage that his fatigue was all in his head. Across the cage, GSP calmly sipped water looking for all the world that he could go 12 rounds.</p>
<p>Round three was similar to the previous one, with GSP taking his opponent to the mat with a decreasing level of resistance and mauling him with punches and elbows once he got there. His complete control over the BJJ black belt Penn was incredible, but hardly surprising given the way that GSP dominated four time NCAA All American wrestler Josh Koscheck on the ground during their matchup.</p>
<p>The fourth round was a wall to wall rout for the welterweight champion, who started by effectively trading strikes with Penn before taking him down once again and resuming his highly successful ground based attack. At this point with GSP moving around at ease and Penn mounting little resistance it was apparent that the challenger was physically spent. St. Pierre almost ended the fight on the ground, as referee Herb Dean repeatedly reminding Penn that he needs to fight back. Penn survived the round on instinct alone, moving around just enough to keep the referee from stopping the proceedings. After the horn sounded to end the fourth round, however, it was evident that Penn had nothing physically or emotionally left and the fight was stopped by Dean on advice from the ringside physician.</p>
<p>Displaying his characteristic class, GSP delayed his celebration until he had crossed the cage and kneeled by his vanquished foe to honor his competitive spirit. After a quick celebration among GSP and his team, he faced his next challenger in the person of Thiago Alves.</p>
<p>In the co-feature attraction, Lyoto Machida kept his undefeated professional MMA record intact with a first round TKO victory over Thiago Silva. Silva had no answer for Machidas well rounded skills and unorthodox Shotokan karate based style. Machida took his opponent down and knocked his opponent down twice&#8221;all counters as Silva was coming forward and Machida backing away. As the first round entered its final seconds, it appeared that Silva started to ease up in anticipation of the horn. Machida used this opportunity for another takedown, and then nailed his surprised opponent with a powerful punch that ended the fight.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Body art comes in different forms, the commonest of which are tattoos. Tattoos are just about the most ancient forms of body art, for which you will end up providing the canvas. And because tattoos have soared in popularity within the last decade, there&#8217;s no shortage of tattoo &#8220;studios&#8221; willing to practice their artistry on you.</p>
<p>Tattoos originated as ancient, symbolic art forms, and many retain their symbolic meanings today. Although you may still find some people who get tattoos strictly based on the design, some of the people tend to regret their choice of tattoo later on in life. Tattoos can be very beautiful, and capture much positive attention. Most people who decide to get tattoos today choose them for their symbolic meaning, along with the beauty. Women and men alike have tattoos; some small tattoos, some large tattoos encompassing their entire body and today tattoos are more common than ever, particularly small tattoos.</p>
<p>Tattoo artists will willing to place dull lifeless designs in a seemingly haphazard way, but they tend to treat the body as a three-dimensional canvas onto which each tattoo is placed, to reside in balance with the body and any existing tattoos. Permanent tattoo designs differ depending on culture, religious affiliations, gender, or personal liking and selections. For certain tattoo designs, some people prefer to check out real life photos or browse through artwork for ideas pertaining to their tattoo designs.</p>
<p>Many individuals select tattoo designs from those presented at a tattoo parlor, while others approach some research and help ensure that their design is unlike any other. While there are tattoo designs that are gender specific, you will need to remember that getting a tattoo is definitely a personal thing and the image that is ultimately chosen should be one that reflects something that is important to the wearer.</p>
<p>Although there are several exceptions, most males and females will naturally be drawn to different tattoo designs. Of all tattoo designs, women commonly select small feminine tattoos with hearts, butterflies, flowers, lettering, etc. Men, however, often prefer that their tattoo designs be placed on the upper arm, like a Robbie Williams tattoo on the chest or back.</p>
<p>A number of the more popular themes center on the following:</p>
<p>*Butterflies *Dragons *Flowers *Crosses *Fairy *Irish *Celtic *Animals *Dolphins *Tribal</p>
<p>Some popular sub themes are:</p>
<p>*cat tattoo designs *zodiac tattoo designs *dolphin tattoo designs *heart tattoo designs *small feminine tattoos</p>
<p>With the exception of people with already chosen their preferred image, it is usually very difficult available the many tattoo designs immediately. Most likely, individuals don&#8217;t spend some time to really think about why they choose a particular tattoo and look at other tattoo designs that are offered. It takes lots of decision-making along with researching for meanings of different tattoo designs and ideas. There are millions of designs out there for tattoos &#8211; including different color combinations that have helped to make tattoos the phenomenon they are today. Should you be ready to generate a significant investment within you art then custom design tattoos are for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back when digital cameras only had the capability to consider an immediate picture associated with whatever was in the lense, you would want to have a picture of something that was far away, and the image would come out less than desirable. Now, thanks to the move photography technique, you can easily take a picture associated with anything that is far, and have it appear as if it was only a few feet away.</p>
<p>About the Zoom Photography Technique</p>
<p>With the move photography technique, you can adjust your camera so that this magnifies an object that is usually out of the variety in which you could take a decent picture. For example, on numerous digital cameras, the move photography technique is easily accomplished by turning a little lever at the top of the camera, and adjusting the camera so that the zoom technology technique is as close as you need this to be for a great picture.</p>
<p>The zoom photography technique is often used for various kinds of nature photographs. For example, it would be dangerous for photographers to obtain up close to wild animals just to take a picture of them, therefore they need to utilize the zoom photography way of their own safety.</p>
<p>Another example of how the zoom photography technique is used in nature photography is in regard to vegetation. There are many blossoms that have a truly distinctive design. Earlier cameras were not able to catch the intricacies of different blossom designs, so flower styles were usually sketch. However, thanks to zoom technology, you can see the designs of a flower firsthand.</p>
<p>The zoom pictures technique is also employed for artistic photography. For example, a rock might look just like a rock, but a rock is comprised of a variety of mineral particles, and those contaminants can often be rather colorful. Thanks to the zoom photography technique, artistic photos can be taken of rocks to show how amazing they really look.</p>
<p>If you are interested in move photography techniques, be sure you get a camera that has which capability. Be aware that should you zoom up too close on an object, that object might appear blurry after the picture may be taken. This can generally be corrected with picture imagine software, which you can purchase at various stores or online. With practice, you are sure to implement the move photography technique into a lot of your pictures with superb results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Brett Favre may get all of the headlines for the Minnesota Vikings, but NFL insiders are well aware that running back Adrian Peterson is the key to the teams offensive success. Peterson&#8217;s threat alone is enough to open up options for the passing game. He&#8217;s definitely more than a decoy, however&#8211;after winning the NFL rushing title last year hes already off to a great start with 272 yards and four touchdowns in only two games.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s been a good deal of concern this week in the Twin Cities media about Peterson&#8217;s health. Specifically, there are questions about the severity of a back injury suffered last weekend. Peterson has been limited in his practice activities all week as a precaution, though both he and QB Favre as listed as probable on the NFLs official injury report. Peterson&#8217;s back is the reason for his inclusion, while Favre is dealing with a minor finger sprain.</p>
<p>Peterson minimized the significance of his injury in comments to reporters:</p>
<p>&#8220;God willing, I will be out there playing. Not a big deal at all.&#8221;</p>
<p>He turned into a standup comic when asked for details on the injury. Asked when the injury occurred, Peterson quipped:</p>
<p>&#8220;It happened, like, a week back. But that&#8217;s all behind me now.&#8221;</p>
<p>Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell didnt sound too concerned, but he wasnt cracking jokes either:</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m comfortable with where he&#8217;s at. I know he&#8217;s been working hard to rehab. &#8230; Right now, I think he&#8217;s going to be OK, but we have to continue to go throughout the week with that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Peterson ran for 92 yards and a touchdown against the Detroit Lions last weekend. His presence alone makes things much easier for the Vikings passing attack&#8221;opposing teams often put 8 or 9 men along the line of scrimmage to try and stop him, giving QB Brett Favre a great opportunity to get the ball downfield to his receivers in single coverage. Without him in the lineup, defenses have an easier time rushing Favre and covering receivers downfield.</p>
<p>The Vikings host a team known for their own potent running game this weekend, as the San Francisco 49ers come to town. The Vikings are a 6 point home favorite with the total set at 39. The line for the first half is Vikings -3, with a total of 20. Theyll remain at home the following week as the Green Bay Packers pay a visit for a game on Monday Night Football. A road game will follow, as the Vikings will head to St. Louis to face the lowly Rams on October 11th.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite a subpar game from quarterback Tim Tebow and a determined effort from the host Mississippi State Bulldogs, the Florida Gators remained undefeated by scrapping out a 29-19 victory. Florida led by only 3 points at halftime before pulling away in the fourth quarter. The usually efficient and accurate Tebow had two touchdowns returned for interceptions and passed for only 127 yards with no touchdowns. The usually accommodating Tebow left the stadium without speaking to reporters, clearly upset with his performance.</p>
<p>College football betting enthusiasts who took the +22&#8242; with Mississippi State as a home underdog enjoyed an easy pointspread cover. The Bulldogs improved their ATS record to 4-3 with the cover, while Florida evened their college football pointspread record to 3-3. The 48 combined points scored just managed to stay UNDER the posted total of 50.</p>
<p>While Tebow wasn&#8217;t talking, head coach Urban Meyer accepted much of the blame for his team&#8217;s substandard performance:</p>
<p>&#8220;I did not coach well tonight. I put Tim in some tough situations. As an offense, we&#8217;re not well right now. Tim&#8217;s not trying to be a hero. But we might be asking him to do too much.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Gators&#8217; are 76th in the nation in red zone efficiency, and Meyer took the blame for that fact as well:</p>
<p>&#8220;The problem is they&#8217;ve got a coach that wants to score so damn bad that he&#8217;s pressing them and some of those guys aren&#8217;t ready for that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Defensive end Pernell McPhee gave Tebow fits all night and talked about his team&#8217;s effort after the game:</p>
<p>&#8220;We knew they liked to get the ball to Tebow there. I felt like we frustrated them and made them do some new things they did not usually do tonight. They got in the I formation tonight and that is the first time I have ever seen them do that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Florida led by only 3 points heading into the final quarter but used a Chris Raney 8 yard rush and a Dustin Doe interception return for a touchdown to open up some breathing room. Jonathan Banks cut into the lead for Mississippi State late in the game with an interception return for touchdown of his own.</p>
<p>The Gators face a tough challenge next weekend as they enter into their matchup against University of Georgia-what used to be known as &#8216;The World&#8217;s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party&#8217;. Florida is a -16 favorite in the contest. They&#8217;ll face Vanderbilt the next week before heading to Columbia, SC for a game against the University of South Carolina and their longtime coach Steve Spurrier. Mississippi State will play at Kentucky as+3&#8242; road underdogs next weekend before a bye week. They&#8217;ll return to action on November&#8211;th at home against the University of Alabama.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes the cost of wedding photography can be high in price. Not everyone can afford extremely high priced photos of their perfect day. By following these few simple budgeting ideas you can save money on wedding photography.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unfortunately the cost of wedding photography is usually very costly, sometimes thousands of dollars. Every bride wants that perfect picture that captures that special day, but can not afford to pay through the roof for it. By following these few simple budgeting ideas you can save money on wedding photography.</p>
<p>Advertising for the right person</p>
<p>An excellent place to advertise is at a local college or university They will have fresh skills and ideas when it comes to wedding photography, and they will cost a lot less.</p>
<p>Digital Over Prints</p>
<p>Go digital instead of getting prints. This will save you a profuse amount of money. You can now choose this as an option because most photographers will offer you the idea. Get a CD rather then prints and proofs of all your pictures. After you receive your CD look at online photo developers to print to photos for you.</p>
<p>Create your own wedding album</p>
<p>A great way to personalize all your pages in your album is to try scrap booking. No one will know your wedding and guests like you do. Scrap booking your wedding photography is a great way to go through your pictures and reflect on the moments. You will enjoy creating your album and not only that but you will also save hundreds of dollars opposed to having your photographer design an album, and they may not include pictures that your friends sent you as well.</p>
<p>You can choose how long you need the photographer for</p>
<p>How long do you really need your photographer around you? Instead of having them come with you when you re getting your hair done, make up done, and dress sized just get them to come for the ceremony and a bit of the celebration afterwards. A great way to get pictures of the bride preparing for the wedding is to have the bridesmaids take the photos.</p>
<p>21st Century &#8211; use disposables!</p>
<p>Having disposable cameras at the reception is also an excellent idea. After everything is said and done all you have to do is drop them off at a photo development outlet, then go through the ones you really like and make larger prints for frames around your house. You will probably end up getting a few funny photos but a lot of wonderful ones as well. This will also give you a wide variety of pictures because your guests will be taking pictures of each other and not just at the bride and groom. Adding more detail to your album.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even when the games don&#8217;t count and the starters play little, if at all, the Baltimore Ravens hate to lose. The Ravens third string signal caller John Beck played the entire game, and the former BYU standout threw for 232 yards and a pair of touchdown passes as the Ravens easily beat the Atlanta Falcons 20-3 at the Georgia Dome. The victory gave the Ravens an undefeated NFL preseason mark at 4-0, while the Falcons finished the exhibition campaign with a 2-2 record.</p>
<p>Sports enthusiasts who bet on NFL preseason action were rewarded for their investment in the Ravens, as Baltimore won outright as +3 road underdogs. Baltimore also finished the NFL preseason with a perfect 4-0 mark against the spread, while Atlanta finished 2-1-1 against the number. The 23 combined points went UNDER the posted total of 35. It was the Ravens third UNDER in four preseason games, while the Falcons split their O/U results at 2-2.</p>
<p>Ravens QB Beck hasnt had much playing time in the NFL since his ill fated rookie year in Miami in 2007. After the game, he expressed how pleased he was to showcase his skills for the entire game:</p>
<p>&#8220;He (coach John Harbaugh) told me a few days ago that I would play the whole game. It was very exciting to get to play the whole game.&#8221;</p>
<p>Beck made the most of his opportunity, finishing with 232 yards on 16 of 28 passing and a pair of touchdowns with no interceptions. The Ravens defense held the Falcons to just 175 yards of total offense.</p>
<p>Despite the lackluster effort, Falcons coach Mike Smith was nonplussed:</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve got to understand in these games, you&#8217;re going to call things defensively and offensively to put players in certain situations to evaluate them. You&#8217;re not game-planning in a game like this. You&#8217;re going to put players in certain situations to see how they handle certain techniques and coverages.&#8221;</p>
<p>Falcon cornerback Chris Houston was a little more concerned after a poor showing by the Atlanta defensive secondary:</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve got to work on everybody getting to the ball. We&#8217;ve got to try to be more aggressive in our techniques. We made some plays tonight, but other than that, we still have a lot to work on as a defense.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Ravens will get the 2009 NFL regular season underway at home, hosting the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, September 13th. The Falcons, meanwhile, will welcome the Miami Dolphins to the Georgia Dome to get their campaign started. Baltimore will head west to San Diego for a game against the Chargers in week 2, while Atlanta will remain at home for a key NFC South matchup against the Carolina Panthers.</p>

Drew Brees broke open a tight game midway through the final quarter with his touchdown pass to Jeremy Shockey, and Tracy Porter scored on a 74 yard interception return as the Colts were driving on the next series to secure the victory.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The New Orleans Saints used a 14 point fourth quarter to defeat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 on Sunday to win their first Superbowl in franchise history. Drew Brees broke open a tight game midway through the final quarter with his touchdown pass to Jeremy Shockey, and Tracy Porter scored on a 74 yard interception return as the Colts were driving on the next series to secure the victory. Brees completed 32 passes in the game, tying New England&#8217;s Tom Brady for the all time record in that category.</p>
<p>After enthusiasts had come in early on the favored Colts, a good deal of buyback on the Saints had pushed the line to -4&#8242; and the New Orleans backers were enriched by their team&#8217;s outright victory. The underdog has now covered three straight Superbowls and taken the money in five of the last seven games. The 48 points scored stayed well under the posted total of 57, which was the highest over/under number in Superbowl history.</p>
<p>In his postgame interview, Brees gave much of the credit to the city of New Orleans:</p>
<p>&#8220;We play for so much more than ourselves. We played for our city. We played for the entire Gulf Coast region. We played for the entire Who Dat nation that has been behind us every step of the way. It means everything. We&#8217;re here because of their strength and everything they fought through here the last few years. They&#8217;ve given us so much support, so we owe it all to our fans.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Just to think of the road we&#8217;ve all traveled, the adversity we&#8217;ve all faced. It&#8217;s unbelievable. I mean, are you kidding me? Four years ago, whoever thought this would be happening? Eighty-five percent of the city was under water. Most people left not knowing if New Orleans would ever come back, or if the organization would ever come back. We just all looked at one another and said, &#8216;We&#8217;re going to rebuild together. We are going to lean on each other.&#8217; That&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve done the last four years and this is the culmination in all that belief.&#8221;</p>
<p>Peyton Manning had little to say after the game particularly about the decisive interception return:</p>
<p>&#8220;Made a great play. Made a great play. Corner made a heck of a play. Certainly disappointing, very disappointing. Disappointing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Saints&#8217; coach Sean Payton made a bold call at the beginning of the second half when he called for an onside kick. Saints linebacker Jonathan Casalis suggested it was a game changing play:</p>
<p>&#8220;We were really excited when he made the call. That changed everything.&#8221;</p>
<p>Payton explained the unorthodox decision:</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to be aggressive. We&#8217;d seen the onside kick all week and guys executed it well. It turned out to be a big change of possession.&#8221;</p>
<p>The city of New Orleans will celebrate their team&#8217;s victory with a parade. With Mardi Gras celebrations already scheduled to begin shortly thereafter, it could be quite some time before New Orleans returns to business as usual. New Orleans is usually as fabulous as flamboyant skater Johnny Weir emerging out of a gold Faberge egg, but will be even more so now.</p>
