fcontent[0]="I can say for a fact that the times that I have been in the zone have been surreal. It's as if the rest of the table has dimmed and the noise  from the crowd has turned into a low background noise. <br><br>Really the only thing in focus was a line down the table towards the landing zone. I know my rolls were good but I can't even tell you how good, it was all mechanical and 3rd person and there was definitely applause.<br><br>-- Johnny B";
fcontent[1]="When you get in the zone, people will stay away from you and not speak to you. Ask any bowler what they do when someone is approaching the perfect 12 strikes.<br><br>When I am in the zone, I don’t have to think about it; I just block out the world and perform at my peak levels.<br><br>-- Frank K";
fcontent[2]="Congratulations on a well-written book.<br><br>I love the golf metaphor and in golf I always visualize the shot before I play it.<br><br> I do this also when shooting craps. I have actually visualized shooting a certain number and many times that number occurs when I shoot the shot.<br><br>--Rick";
fcontent[3]="I feel that the zone is a state where you let your body do what it has been trained to do. You stop thinking about what to do or why or how and just do it. <br><br>-- Scott";
fcontent[4]="During my longest rolls I was so deep in the Zone that I wasn't concerned about the outcome or even making my point.  I was totally relaxed, mind empty, calm, in a trance like state. I was able to tune out arguments and any other distractions that were happening at the table. <br><br>My end toss was picture perfect and the box numbers kept on coming and coming. The craps table ran out of chips and all that was left were dust marks where the chips had been.  Even a new chip fill didn't distract me.  <br><br>-- Howard N.";
