    <content:encoded><![CDATA[History tells us that there are different groups of people who wanted to dominate the world. Despite knowing that different civilizations have already flourished in different lands, they engage in battles and wars to gain control of the territory. Different empires and dynasties ruled over the world in the conquest to expand territories and to proclaim their kings the mightiest of all.<br><br>It was not a friendly war or even a war with good cause. These wars lead to the different rise and falls of each group. Yet, even though they have their own vicissitudes, the accomplishments and failures are still part of our history books.<br><br>In the field of sports, domination is part of the game. Every team would want to be hailed as the best among the best. For years, different games are held to see who will arise as champions. Players prepare for months prior to the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/real+game" rel="tag">real game</a> to make sure that they have the endurance and the skills whomever they have to face. In NCAA, one team of the best teams in their history is the Southern California Trojans.<br><br>Their name is not one of the empires or the dynasties, known to be the fiercest conquerors in the world. But definitely, their name is just as great as it was established in the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/greek+mythology" rel="tag">Greek Mythology</a>. There is no Helen for their cause of battle, but they have happened to be excelling for years with many unprecedented win. They have won over 88 <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/ncaa+championship" rel="tag">NCAA championship</a> titles, of which 76 titles belong to their mens team. This is such a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/remarkable+record" rel="tag">remarkable record</a> because they have by far more wins than any other university could attain.<br><br>They have gain domination in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/different+sports" rel="tag">different sports</a>. One of their best teams is their football team. They have managed to outnumber their greatest rivals in terms of titles for the National Championships. Their baseball team has garnered 12 titles, bagging their latest win in 1998 under the supervision of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mike+gillespie" rel="tag">Mike Gillespie</a>.<br><br>Another field of sports wherein they got the most wins is in the track and field. This is just one of the best records in the history of NCAA as they won 26 titles. There were four coaches noted for their win, and Dean Cromwell was one of them. Their volleyball team is also one of the best.<br><br>Of course, their team for women made a sound in NCAA but they never got as much wins as their mens team are. It just proves that Southern California Trojans are great protectors of their name in the field of sports. They are one of the best teams in NCAA and over America. Not only they have conquered America but they also made it to the Olympics. They are one of the top schools in the field of sports and academics. Not many teams can level with their number of wins in NCAA and their curriculum.<br><br>They are just like the people of Troy, who were known for their riches and massive defensive walls. No wonder, they are able to get successive wins for years because of their amazing talents to defend their title.<bio>Freddie Brister is a huge fan of the Pac 10 and the Southern California Trojans.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sacramento is the capital of the state of California, but surprisingly, many areas in the region retain that old small town charm. It is a great city for couples to visit, especially those who are more interested in the history of the area, but there are activities for those who may not be into going to museums and historical places. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/old+sacramento" rel="tag">Old Sacramento</a> is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the area. The area looks like a section of the city stuck in the 1800's, and although there are a few modern businesses in the area, Old Sacramento is more of a hotspot among tourists rather than a residential or commercial area. There are several museums and quaint shops in the area, as well as a few restaurants. The most visited part of Old Sacramento is the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/california+state+railroad+museum" rel="tag">California <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/state+railroad+museum" rel="tag">State Railroad Museum</a></a>, full of artifacts and trains, many of which are intact from the time they were last used. (Travel to California became much easier and quicker with the introduction of the Steam Engine.) <br /><br /> The city of Sacramento is also home to many festivals that many people come from all over the world to attend. The Traditional Jazz Music Festival is held annually over the Memorial Day Weekend and the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/california+state+fair" rel="tag">California State Fair</a> is one of the most popular events of its kind in the world. Held annually for the last 152 years, the California State Fair draws in more than a million visitors each year and is always filled with fun exhibits and entertaining performances. <br /><br /> As far as dining is concerned, Morton's Steakhouse is a wonderful upscale restaurant to spend the night at, as is the Biba Ristorante Italiano, which has won the "Best Restaurant in Sacramento" award multiple times. If you are in the mood for Chinese, P.F. Chang's China Bistro is always a favorite spot among couples. <br /><br /> Sacramento is a city that is buzzing with excitement and there is plenty to do and see in the wonderful city.   <bio>Ron Zvagelsky has a degree in Business Administration from the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/university+of+southern+california" rel="tag">University of Southern California</a>. He graduated Magna Cum Laude in May 2006.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ For many years now, Baja California has been known as a party and vacation spot for many people all over the world. From couples seeking an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/intimate+getaway" rel="tag">intimate getaway</a> to college students looking for a place to get in some much needed partying over spring break, Baja California presents an ideal destination where you can go to leave the worries of the real world behind. <br /><br /> What a growing number of people are realizing however is that aside from providing a temporary haven for rest and recreation, Baja California can in fact be a place where you can spend considerably longer periods of time in and perhaps even live out your retirement years. And why not, after all? In addition to the many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stunning+natural+features" rel="tag">stunning natural features</a> of the area, there is a wealth of both personal and business opportunities to be had for the few souls brave enough to make the move. If you need any more convincing there is the world famous warmth and friendliness of the local residents, the excellent standard of living=96particularly if you measure your income in dollars=96and the near <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/perfect+weather" rel="tag">perfect weather</a> all year round. And let's not forget that Baja California is only 30 to 40 minutes from the U.S. border. In fact Baja California is probably the only place in the world where beachfront property and near-perfect southern <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/californian+weather" rel="tag">Californian weather</a> can still be had in abundance. <br /><br /> By all indications, the real estate market in the U.S. has all but dried up. Investors are now looking for the next big thing and many experts agree that Baja California is it. As you read this article, a number of factors are coming together, the combined effects of which will ultimately result in the next big <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/property+boom" rel="tag">property boom</a> occurring in this area. For one thing, the Mexican government has implemented a number of changes in the country'<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/s+real+estate" rel="tag">s real estate</a> laws that now make it legal for foreigners to purchase property in Mexico=96even in areas that were formerly off limits to foreign buyers. By securing a bank trust or a Fideicomiso, the process of buying land in Baja California=96or most any other place in Mexico for that matter=96is now simpler and safer than ever. <br /><br /> Even U.S. banks and lending institutions are getting in on the act, with many lenders now offering mortgage financing as well as title insurance for foreign-owned property in Mexico. <br /><br /> Finally, your dollars can be stretched a lot further in Baja California. You probably know by now how hard it is to find available beachfront property in Southern California. Well, not only is it available in Baja California, but the prices are up to 4 or 5 times cheaper than similar property in the U.S. That in itself is a good enough reason to buy but when you realize that current property appreciation is measured at 30%, it almost makes no sense not to buy! <br /><br /> Clearly the market in Baja California real estate is on the rise. The time to act is now if you want to get some of the action!   <bio><a href="http://www.alealiving.com" >http://www.alealiving.com</a> Baja California Mexico real estate, 45 luxury beachfront condominiums in Real del Mar just 18 miles from the San Diego border.  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

Gilbert, Arizona has been ranked the forth-safest city in the United States. <br /><br /> It is no wonder that Gilbert and the surrounding Phoenix metro area is a favorite for family relocation.Singles, retirees and families have made Gilbert home in recent years due to its award winning public school systems, thriving businesses, job opportunities, shopping, dining and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/entertainment+centers" rel="tag">entertainment centers</a>, cultural centers and unbelievable recreational options and it is these new residents that have made this city so safe. <br /><br /> Very well planned residential developments characterize the housing that are available in Gilbert. Gilbert is home to some gated communities with large estate properties and mini ranches; many of which are zoned for equestrian usage, which is popular here. Horse riding trails are located everywhere and are used heavily. <br /><br /> There are many older, modern single-family home neighborhoods with wide avenues, beautifully landscaped tree lined streets and walking trails, parks, recreation and picnic areas. <br /><br /> The FBI Top Ten List was determined from information obtained in initial reports submitted by 265 police departments in different cities.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/matt+leinart" rel="tag">Matt Leinart</a> was born in Santa, Ana California on May 11, 1983. With the heart of a lion, the will to win, and all the intangibles, it is easy to see why he is considered to be one of the best quarterbacks in football. When you add these features to his strong arm and 6 foot 5 inch frame, he has everything that it takes to be a great player in the NFL. <br /><br /> Many people are not aware that Leinart was born cross eyed, and that he had to have surgery to correct this problem at a young age. To add to this, he was also a bit overweight. This led to a lot of ridicule during his younger years, which in turn forced him into sports as an outlet. This worked out for him at <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mater+dei+high+school" rel="tag">Mater Dei High School</a> where he became one of the top quarterback recruits in the entire country. After a stellar senior season in 2000, Leinart accepted a scholarship offer from the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/university+of+southern+california" rel="tag">University of Southern California</a>. <br /><br /> As a freshman Leinart saw limited action on the field, and did not attempt a pass. The next year he won the starting job, and led the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/trojans" rel="tag">Trojans</a> to wins in the first three games of the season. He finished the season with 3,556 yards passing and also added 38 touchdowns. <br /><br /> His junior year was more of the same. Leinart once again put up big numbers, and he also led the Trojans to an undefeated season and a national title. In the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/national+title+game" rel="tag">national title game</a> he passed for over 300 yards and five touchdowns. <br /><br /> Going against what everybody thought, Leinart returned to USC for his senior year.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/matt+leinart" rel="tag">Matt Leinart</a> was born in Santa, Ana California on May 11, 1983. With the heart of a lion, the will to win, and all the intangibles, it is easy to see why he is considered to be one of the best quarterbacks in football. When you add these features to his strong arm and 6 foot 5 inch frame, he has everything that it takes to be a great player in the NFL. <br /><br /> Many people are not aware that Leinart was born cross eyed, and that he had to have surgery to correct this problem at a young age. To add to this, he was also a bit overweight. This led to a lot of ridicule during his younger years, which in turn forced him into sports as an outlet. This worked out for him at <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mater+dei+high+school" rel="tag">Mater Dei High School</a> where he became one of the top quarterback recruits in the entire country. After a stellar senior season in 2000, Leinart accepted a scholarship offer from the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/university+of+southern+california" rel="tag">University of Southern California</a>. <br /><br /> As a freshman Leinart saw limited action on the field, and did not attempt a pass. The next year he won the starting job, and led the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/trojans" rel="tag">Trojans</a> to wins in the first three games of the season. He finished the season with 3,556 yards passing and also added 38 touchdowns. <br /><br /> His junior year was more of the same. Leinart once again put up big numbers, and he also led the Trojans to an undefeated season and a national title. In the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/national+title+game" rel="tag">national title game</a> he passed for over <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/300" rel="tag">300</a> yards and five touchdowns. <br /><br /> Going against what everybody thought, Leinart returned to USC for his senior year. Despite another great year, the Trojans fell to the University of Texas in the Rose Bowl which was the national title game for the 2005 season. <br /><br /> In the 2006 NFL Draft Leinart was selected by the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/arizona+cardinals" rel="tag">Arizona Cardinals</a> with the 10th overall pick. After a long hold out, he finally signed a six year contract worth $51 million. Although he was not the Cardinals full-time starter his entire rookie season, Leinart did see some action. He appeared in 12 games, passing for 2,547 yards and 11 touchdowns.   <bio>Bob writes for <a href="http://www.DraftDayPicks.com" >http://www.DraftDayPicks.com</a> and <a href="http://www.AllProZone.com" >http://www.AllProZone.com</a>.

Los Angeles is an ideal spot for couples to act like kids again--take the time to visit <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/amusement+parks" rel="tag">amusement parks</a> such as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/disneyland" rel="tag">Disneyland</a> and Universal Studios--or just going to the beach on a warm day. In the city itself, there are tons of parks for couples to stroll through and the area, especially in more affluent sectors such as Rodeo Drive, are known to be hot spots for anyone who likes to shop. Many of the stores in the area can be very expensive however, so many people simply window shop. <br /><br /> Part 2: Some Popular Dining Spots <br /><br /> Los Angeles also has a number of wonderful romantic restaurants that satisfy all tastes. Cicada, located in a historic building with dim lights and 30 foot high ceilings surrounded by classical artwork, is one of the best Italian restaurants in California and is a must visit for any couple who loves Italian food. For those who enjoy seafood such as shrimp, fish, and lobster, the Providence is a cozy romantic restaurant, with great food at high prices.

So if you are planning a romantic trip to California, be sure to spend at least a few days in Los Angeles.   <bio>Ron Zvagelsky has a degree in Business Administration from the University of Southern California.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/troy+polamalu" rel="tag">Troy Polamalu</a> was born on April 19, 1981 in Garden Grove, California. Polamalu is of Samoan descent, and is well known across the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/football+world" rel="tag">football world</a> for his hard hits and endless energy on the field, as well as his soft spoken attitude off of it. Polamalu is definitely one of the best players and nicest guys in the NFL. This is a rare combination that is not matched by many. <br /><br /> Polamalu played <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/high+school+football" rel="tag">high school football</a> in Winston, Oregon at Douglas High School. In addition to earning a letter in football, Polamalu also lettered in baseball and basketball as well. This alone shows the type of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/athleticism" rel="tag">athleticism</a> that Polamalu brings to the game. As a senior in high school Polamalu was an All Far West player in football, which led him to choose this as his primary sport. <br /><br /> After high school Polamalu took his game to the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/university+of+southern+california" rel="tag">University of Southern California</a>. During three seasons as a starter at safety Polamalu wreaked havoc on opposing offenses. He finished his career with 278 tackles, 13 pass deflection, 6 interceptions, and four blocked punts. <br /><br /> Polamalu was drafted by the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pittsburgh+steelers" rel="tag">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>, and has been with the team ever since. He is the starting safety for the Steelers, and was a big reason that the team won the 2006 Super Bowl. But although Polamalu%u2019s game stands on its own, he may be most famous for his long hair. Polamalu has not had a hair cut since 2000 due to his Samoan culture in which men wear their hair long. <br /><br /> With such a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/quiet+demeanor" rel="tag">quiet demeanor</a> Polamalu does not get nearly as much recognition as other players with half of his skill level. But one thing is for sure. Polamalu does all of his talking on the field. He is always among the best defensive players in the league, and has been selected to several Pro Bowl teams.   <bio>Bob writes for <a href="http://www.DraftDayPicks.com" >http://www.DraftDayPicks.com</a> and <a href="http://www.FanFrenzyZone.com" >http://www.FanFrenzyZone.com</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ You cannot visit Southern California without stopping at one of its many wonderful beaches and dipping your toes in the Pacific Ocean.<br /><br />However, if you have a limited time on your visit and can only visit one beach, you may have a difficult time choosing.<br /><br />Which Southern California beach should top your list? Well, it depends on what you're looking for:<br /><br /><br /><br /> Surfing: <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/huntington+beach" rel="tag">Huntington Beach</a>: With over 50 surfing competitions held each year in Huntington Beach, plus a Surfing Walk of Fame, Surfers' Hall of Fame and International Surfing Museum, Huntington Beach, or "Surf City" as some call it, is the place you'll want to visit to surf and watch surfers in action.<br /><br />Forget your surfboard or boogie board? No problem, you can also rent one in Huntington Beach. You'll want to visit the pier at <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/huntington+city+beach" rel="tag">Huntington City Beach</a> where you can watch the surfers as well as take in the views, which include Catalina Island, 22 miles away (check out the pay scopes for closer views).<br /><br /><br /><br /> Another reason to go to Huntington Beach is that all three of their beaches (Huntington City Beach, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/huntington+state+beach" rel="tag">Huntington State Beach</a> and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/bolsa+chica+state+beach" rel="tag">Bolsa Chica State Beach</a>) have concrete fire rings which allow you to have nightly bonfires and cookouts.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Swami's Beach: Located in Encinitas below Seacliff Roadside Park, Swami's Beach is also a great place to watch the surfers, as it is considered one of the best surfing spots along the San Diego County coastline.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Sunbathing and Relaxing: <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/zuma" rel="tag">Zuma</a>/<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/point+dume" rel="tag">Point Dume</a>: Of course, you can sit in the sand and relax at all the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/beaches+in+southern+california" rel="tag">beaches in Southern California</a>, but Point Dume and Zuma beaches, approximately 19 miles west of Malibu on Pacific Coast Highway, are the beaches to go to escape the crowded Los Angeles beaches.<br /><br />When driving west on PCH you'll come to Point Dume first, then Zuma. Point Dume is a little quieter than Zuma, so if you want to lie in the sand and sleep, or read a good book, Point Dume is it. Of course, just because Point Dume and Zuma beaches are great for relaxing, that's not all there is to do. Some consider Zuma beach one of the finest surfing beaches as well. <br /><br /> People Watching: <br /><br /> Venice City Beach: Want a quirky beach experience? Then you'll have to visit Venice Beach, at the end of Washington Street in Venice. There you'll find skaters, performers and those you're not quite sure if they're performing or not. On any given weekend you can be treated to musicians, acrobats, mimes, magicians and other assorted entertainers. You'll also find restaurants and all sorts of shops along Ocean Front Walk, as well as Muscle Beach, where you can find bodybuilders pumping iron.<br /><br />If you like crowds, you'll love Venice Beach on the weekend. <br /><br /> Fun Out of the Water: <br /><br /> Santa Monica State Beach: If you get tired of sunbathing or playing in the ocean, Santa Monica State Beach is great because you have Pacific Park at Santa Monica Pier with rides, games and restaurants. You have to really try hard to be bored at Santa Monica State Beach. Rides include a carousel, roller coaster, bumper cars, motion simulator and a nine-story Ferris wheel with spectacular views. You can also roller blade and ride bikes on the bike bath along the beach.<br /><br /><br /><br /> These are just a sampling of the great beach experiences you can have in Southern California. Just remember to bring and apply your sunscreen, drink plenty of water throughout the day, and enjoy your visit.   <bio>Shari Hearn is a writer and creator of <a href="http://www.topvacationspots.net" >http://www.topvacationspots.net</a> - <a href="http://www.boating-vacation.com" >http://www.boating-vacation.com</a> and <a href="http://www.rv-camping.net" >http://www.rv-camping.net</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ The third largest state in the United States, California boosts the most varied geography of any state in the country. From deserts to snow <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/capped+mountains" rel="tag">capped mountains</a> to sandy, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sunny+beaches" rel="tag">sunny beaches</a> ... California really does have it all when it comes to geographic considerations. Similarly, California has one of the most varied climates imaginable. In California, a person can find everything from Mediterranean to Sub-Arctic climes and several others in between. <br /><br /> The population of the State of California is approaching 40,000,000 people, meaning that more than one in ten U.S. residents lives in California. California generates the largest portion of the Gross National Product of the United States in contrast to any other state in the Union. In fact, the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gross+state+product" rel="tag">Gross State Product</a> of California exceeds that of a majority of countries in the world. <br /><br /> Despite the publicity and notoriety garnered by Hollywood, by far the largest industry in California is agriculture. However, it is followed (at a distant second) by aerospace and then the entertainment industry (most of that revenue coming from television). <br /><br /> Many Californians are devoted to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/living+a+healthy+lifestyle" rel="tag">living a healthy lifestyle</a>. As a result, they tend to be more proactive in regard to health and medical considerations than some of their peers in other states. For example, a portion of Californians obtain either a body scan or a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/heart+scan" rel="tag">heart scan</a> as a preventative practice with a higher degree of regularity than do individuals in other states. In fact, a growing number of Californians are obtaining either a body scan or a heart scan with more frequency as a preventative practice in the past several years. <br /><br /> Because of the demand for body scan and heart <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/scan+services" rel="tag">scan services</a>, these types of procedures are being offered in more locations across the state. The demand for body scan and heart scan services is expected to continue to increase into the future. <br /><br /> Understanding that the state is so varied, the recreational, entertainment and cultural opportunities vary vastly from one region to another. For example, when it comes to recreational options, Californians and visitors to the state alike can enjoy everything from surfing and sailing to skiing and hiking and many other activities and sports in between. And, in many places, a person can spend a lovely afternoon idling away on the beach. <br /><br /> Culturally, California is home to a vast number of historic sites. Theater, music, ballet, opera, museums can be found in numerous cities from Northern to Southern California. California nightlife is extremely vibrant in cities like Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and elsewhere. Finally, when it comes to dining in the Golden State, the menu is as vast and varied as the geography and the climate of the state. <br /><br /> Because of the size and diversity of California, from time to time proposals come down the proverbial pike suggesting that California should become its own country or that California should be broken up into several smaller states. In the end, cooler heads prevails and the California carries on to be one of the most intriguing and exciting destinations on the planet.   <bio>Visit <a href="http://www.californiascanning.com" >http://www.californiascanning.com</a> for more information on body, heart, lung and preventative scanning or to find a California scan center.  </bio>]]></content:encoded>
