Success in the NFL mandates that even when teams aren’t playing their best they need to find a way to win. The Miami Dolphins found a way to win ugly in their NFL preseason battle of Florida on Thursday night. After spotting the Bucs a 6-0 lead, Miami used a late first half field goal and scored the only touchdown of the second half to comeback for the 10-6 win. The victory improved Miamis preseason NFL record to a perfect 3-0 while Tampa Bay dropped to 1-2.

A starting QB battle in Tampa was the biggest storyline of the game and veteran Byron Leftwich appears to have gained the edge over Luke McCown. Bucs coach Raheem Morris gave little indication as to his preference in postgame comments:

“Obviously you want somebody to jump up and take it. We’ll find out when we go back, look at the tape and evaluate this thing.”

McCown had a rough night, with two sacks and no points scored. He gave a verbose no comment on his status as starter:

“It’s not for me to say. … My part in it is preparing every day, being the best I can be and getting better from my mistakes. As long as I feel like I’m doing that, then I’m OK.”

Leftwich, meanwhile, was 9 of 17 for 100 yards and came up big on several third down completions. He had very little to say after the game:

“Hopefully, I’m the guy. I felt good. I missed a few, but I hit a few also. Luckily for me on the ones I missed, I made plays on the following play to get those first downs.”

Bucs running back Cadillac Williams returned to action after major knee surgery seven months ago. Hes been limited in the last three seasons due to injuries, but looked solid in picking up 54 yards on eight carries. Afterwards, he said the knee problems are not an issue:

“The knee is not an issue to me. … I feel great. I’m just loving what I do.”

The game had several delays due to rain and lightening, the longest a 45 minute stoppage Dolphins QB Chad Pennington said that its hard to evaluate his team’s performance due to the strange starts and stops:

“It was a very odd game for us, as far as the rain delay, a lot of stoppages of play and things like that We were able to come out get a score before halftime and get a score after the half. We’ll build on that. We’ll be critical of ourselves and make sure we don’t let a win overshadow what we need to do to get better.”

The Dolphins will conclude their NFL preseason play next Thursday against the Saints at New Orleans. Tampa Bay will host Houston next Friday in their final preseason contest. Miami will get the NFL regular season underway against the Atlanta Falcons at The Georgia Dome on Sunday, September 13. Tampa Bay will welcome the Dallas Cowboys to The Cigar City on the same day to kick off their 2009 campaign.

The Edmonton Eskimos survived a wild back and forth CFL shootout against the Calgary Stampeders before prevailing 38-35 to take over sole possession of first place in the CFL West. Edmonton improved to 4-3 with the win, while Calgary dropped to 3-4.

Winning QB Ricky Ray said that he enjoyed playing in the shootout:

“That was a ton of fun. In the CFL you get to play in a lot of games like this, especially against a guy like (Calgary quarterback Henry) Burris, who has done this to us. It’s great to come out on the winning end of a shoot-out like that. It’s a great uplift for the team. It’s a huge win for us.”

With a bye week on deck, Eskimos head coach Richie Hall said that the outcome couldnt have been timed any better:

“Regardless of what happens, we are coming back in first place. Now we have one up on Calgary. It’s going to be a dogfight for all the teams in the West and any chance you get to win, especially a win like this, it’s a real bonus. It’s great for our confidence.”

Calgarys Burris remembered a very similar situation in a game last year where Edmonton won by the same margin on a last play touchdown:

“They got us last year in this situation and of course you didn’t think it was going to happen again or even could happen again. It felt so great to get that late touchdown and with 38 seconds on the clock nobody was even thinking about last year. We had to stop Jackson and we didn’t. And we had to stop Ray and we didn’t. Kudos to Edmonton.”

Both teams have a bye next week. Calgary returns to action on Aug. 28 in Toronto while the Eskimos will next play on Aug. 29 when they host Hamilton.

Feng Shui has been around for thousands of years. Since that time, various trends of Feng Shui have developed. Although the basic principles remain the same, each one has a somewhat distinct approach for the subject:

Form School

* Centers predominantly with the contours of physical landscapes, their particular form, size and watercourse, and the connection among the actual physical formations as well as a dwelling.

* The 4 Directions regarding the compass are symbolized by the four celestial animals; the Green Dragon (East), the Red Phoenix (South), the White Tiger (West) and the Black Turtle (North).

Traditional Chinese Compass School

* Originated in China over 3000 years ago, with the first textual reference mentioned in 256BCE (Before Christian Era)

* Based on a methodical, formulaic approach to Feng Shui which is thousands of years old.

* Career sector of the Eight Trigrams is always oriented to the magnetic North. .

The aforementioned methods are used by The Geomancer.

Black Hat Sect (BHS) Tantric Buddhist

A more current way of thinking, which is extensively practiced in the U.S.A. Developed 15 years ago by Thomas Lin Yun, it is a hybrid of Tibetan Buddhism, Taoism and Feng Shui simplified for Western preferences. It has got a large cult following.

With this particular school of Feng Shui, rather than using the traditional magnetic compass (Lo Pan) to ascertain directions, every home or area is evaluated by the position of its doorway. BHS Feng Shui states that the main doorway to each room faces the career sector. This may result in nearby rooms or houses possessing seemingly contradictory directions.

* Made popular in the USA ever since 1986

* Founded on the more spiritual approach to Feng Shui

* Refers to the Eight Trigrams as being the ‘Ba Gua’

* Career sector regarding the Eight Trigrams is always focused towards the main door.

Intuitive Feng Shui

There’s a lot of talk regarding ‘intuitive feng shui’. However, Feng Shui, which includes its very own list of rules, can’t be considered more instinctive than either geography or even physics. Personal users may be a lot more perceptive as compared to others, but Feng Shui modifications have to be based on the rules and not simply a ’sensation’.

How do I pick a practitioner that’s ideal for me?

Go with your instincts!

In the event that what the specialist suggests makes sense to you and you also feel good about the alterations he/she proposes, you’ve located a match!

Nevertheless, if placing a statue of Buddha near your front door, putting red Avery labels on your walls, hanging red-tasseled bamboo flutes over your entrances and putting a ‘green cylindrical object upon your roof, to attract nurturing wood energy’ are a bit far from your own designing type - dismiss your practitioner. (Payment does not have to be enclosed in red envelopes also!)

Besides, REAL Feng Shui remedies utilize only the 5 components - Water, Earth, Fire, Metal and Wood, and never such things as mirrors, flutes, incense or prayers!
