Justin TV UFC 103

By Ben Janke

UFC 103 is down live stream on mmavines.com on September 19, 2009. It is going to be a solid match between Rich Franklin versus Vitor Belfort. They are both veteran MMA champions with a pretty expansive history in the UFC. Which Franklin gets into the struggle with a record of sixty-seven victories, 4 losses, and zero draws. Vitor Bellfort comes into the UFC 103 Arena with a record of 12 wins and 5 losses.

This should be a solid battle as their styles match up pretty well with each other. I would give the edge to Vitor Belfort just because it appears like he's on more of a winning streak and appears to have more confidence getting to the scrap. Vitor has not fought in the UFC since 2005 and lost to Tito Ortiz in a split decision. His previous 5 before that any of discover was another exit to Randy Couture with a TKO stoppage.

Vitor Belfort just recently came back to the UFC after an extended time fighting other formations and his last actual battle had a solid engagement against Matt Lindlin. Vitor knockout Matt in the first round would really boost his self-confidence in his engagement against Rich Franklin.

I think that Rich Franklin may be on the down side of his career. He recently had a great struggle against Vanderlei Silva in which Rich Franklin actually defeated Silva by decision. Even though he won, I think he looked a little bit sloppy in his performance. We'll have to discover how Rich Franklin does in this scrap. Needless to say, he still has the skills to take care of Belfort, but I think that Belfort will end up the victor.

Some of the other battles on the UFC 103 live stream will be:

Junior Dos Santos vs. Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic Martin Kampmann vs. Mike Swick Josh Koscheck vs. Frank Trigg Hermes Franca vs. Tyson Griffin Efrain Escudero vs. Cole Miller Jim Miller vs. Steve Lopez Rafaello Oliveira Vs. Nik Lentz Paul Daley vs. Brian Foster Tomasz Drwal vs. Drew McFedries Jason Brilz vs. Eliot Marshall Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Igor Pokrajac Rafael dos Anjos vs. Rob Emerson

On different cards, Mike Swick has been pulled out of UFC 103 on September 19, 2009, due to a concussion he received when he was sparring this last week. He landed on his back of his head and neck and suffered a pretty good concussion. It looks like EliteXC fighter Paul Daley will interchange Swick in the battle against Martin Kampman. Martin Kampman is on a roll of late and looks solid against any of the fighters at 170. Paul Daley said I have a handful coming from elite XC to the UFC.

The undercard of Dos Santos vs Crocop should be a great battle. Pro-cop has fallen to the wayside since he came over from Pride. In fact in his last battle, he only won because he poked his adversary in the eye and assaulted before the ref could even stop the battle. Apparently the ref didn't see the eye poke. Most spiders though it typically stopped when they poke someone in the eye, but not Crocop. He assaulted Al-Turka when he couldn't even see. What a cheap scrapper Crocop is. I think he was just so determined for a deliver the goods that he didn't care whether he you want in a cheap fashion or not. I hope he gets his face wiped on the mat by Dos Santos.

One of the good things about reflexology massage is that there are no known side effects. The worst that can possibly happen is that your feet are massage for too long. If your feet are over massage then it is possible that they could be a little bit sore afterward.

Now thanks to technology, foot reflexology has been successfully replicated in many massage chairs. A number of different systems are used in order to reproduce this particular method. This can provide the receiver with many benefits including full body relaxation.

Massage chairs come with leg rests that contain foot wells. The foot wells are specially designed to deliver an effective reflexology foot massage. Located under need the feet are either reflexology plates or airbags with reflexology nodes. These are designed to gently stimulate the trigger points on the soles of the feet.

To provide for the foot massage, it is difficult to find and air compression system and the massage chair. An air compressor will deliver air to inflate and deflate air bags in the foot wells. The foot wells are designed to give a thorough and relieving massage. They provide a squeezing action which relieves tension, aches and soreness in the feet.

In order to coordinate all the action going on in the foot wells, massage chairs utilize a computer board. Customized programs have been developed to deliver the reflexology foot massage. This enables the massage chair to activate and deactivate the different systems to provide a relieving reflexology foot massage.

The compression massage which is part of the reflexology foot massage is very relieving. The massage chair performs a firm squeezing action for the feet. This helps to stretch out the type muscles and soft tissues between the metacarpals.

Some massage chairs use reflexology plates. The airbags are used to push the feet downward onto the reflexology plate. This is one method to stimulate the trigger points on the feet. Other manufacturers use reflexology nodes on the airbags. The air bags inflate underneath the feet which push the nodes into the trigger points on the soles of your feet.

Reflexology uses a map of the feet which shows specific areas that are related to other organs in the body. When these areas are stimulated, the corresponding organ is believed to relax. This helps to induce full body relaxation.

Reflexology foot massage has two main goals. One is to provide relief for the feet through a compression massage. The second is to relax the entire body by triggering the points on the feet. This helps to provide full body relaxation by stimulating the feet.

The top massage chair manufacturers such as Sanyo, Omega and Panasonic have developed foot reflexology massage in their recliners. These massage chair recliners utilize sophisticated controls to provide relieving and relaxing foot massage.

The Ultimate Fighter TUF

By Mike Edwards

UFC Ultimate fighter is fast becoming one of the biggest shows in America. Will it ever be the number one? Well, I guess that depends on who you ask. I personally think the sport is just going to continue getting bigger. Im not sure if it will ever be the number one sport though. This sport does appeal to a lot of age groups, which could be why the sport is expanding at such an incredible rate.

Why is UFC Ultimate Fighter show gaining such wide audiences? Is it because of the short, fast paced, 5 minute rounds, which can be a non-stop adrenaline rush! With fights ending in knockout or submissions before the first round even ends. Is it because the sport appeals to so many different age groups or is it because its new and exciting, will it phase out in a few years?

With the UFC being noticed now for being athletes, who train just as hard, perhaps even harder than normal athletes! Will this sport finally gain the respect it deserves? It used to be called a blood sport or cock fighting. In fact I believe some people still regard the sport as that. Do people realize the discipline involved now, the constant workouts for strength, conditioning and of course the martial arts training. With the fighters spending weeks in a house together with no television, phones, well basically any outside communication is banned. You can imagine the stress these fighters go through. Hopefully it will be worth it all for one fighter that will win a six figure UFC contract.

This sport has gone through some remarkable transformations over the years. The UFC has done remarkable things for MMA with the UFC Ultimate Fighter show. What one was viewed only by a few thousand people at most, to now broad casted to millions of people over America.

With impressive sales and huge demand, the UFC is the number one place for fighters to go to. If you want to fight the best fighters in the world you will have to break into the UFC ranks. Once there you will be able to make a very nice living, well if youre good.

So if youre new to this sport, and you have just starting to follow the UFC Ultimate Fighter show you are in for a great ride. If youre already a fan and have been following the show for a while, Im sure you will agree with me, this is a fantastic sport which will only get bigger.

Are You Just Letting Thieves Walk Into Your Home?

By Silvie Carpenter

Do you know what the weakest security element in many houses is? Would you be surprised to know that it's a door? In fact it's the biggest door in most homes and also one that many burglars can unlock within 10 seconds.

It turns out (according to the Chamberlain Garage Trends Survey) that these days this specific door is used by about two thirds of homeowners as their primary entrance and furthermore, a third of the survey sample place such trust in this door that they don't bother to lock the internal door(s) past this one.

The door in question is of course the garage door. This has in the past few years superseded the conventional main entrance door as the most popular entry to the home. This trend is almost certainly due to the advent of electronic mechanized garage door openers coupled with the fact that most folk these days arrive and depart by automobile.

The thing is though - garage doors are remarkably simple to break open. Even doors fitted with the latest electronic devices and motorized openers can be thwarted with little trouble by experienced thieves. Once past the doors any intruder is then well protected from detection as they go about breaking into the house itself through the connecting door (which as mentioned above is often anyway unlocked nearly half the time).

If your garage door has poor security then it renders the window bolts and deadlocks you may have fitted elsewhere more or less redundant. And even if you are the type to actually lock the internal garage to house door, the fact is that your garage provides perfect shelter for any intruder to set about breaking in to your home (quite possibly using any tools you might store in the garage to help them).

What then is the answer? Pretty obviously beefing up security on your garage doors should be a priority and installing (and remembering to use) a simple garage deadbolt provides an easy and inexpensive deterrent to the opportunist intruder.

But if you want security you can really rely on then installing high security garage doors is the way to go. Among the best are those that are for all apparent purposes regular wooden garage doors, but internally contain reinforced steel rods and plates. These can withstand anything even the most determined intruder can attack them with for a considerable period of time.

In the end deciding the balance of costs versus benefits comes to down a judgement call. But consider the benefits: superior protection for valuables and family members; cut insurance premiums and add to your property's value; and scope to extend the use of the space knowing that it provides a well protected environment.

UFC 104 Machida V Shogun

By Mike Edwards

Its official folks, the first title defense by Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida will come at UFC 104 on Oct. 24 versus former Pride standout Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua. Lets face it folks this is going to be an amazing fight! Both amazingly talented fighters in theyre prime.

The card marks the company's first show in Los Angeles since UFC 60 in May 2006, and the first event in California since UFC 76 in September 2007. "It's been two years since the UFC was in Southern California, and we knew we had to bring something special for our return to the capital of mixed martial arts," said UFC president Dana White.

"Lyoto Machida captured the imagination of fight fans with his knockout of Rashad Evans. And while (Machida) seems unbeatable right now, Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua not only has the tools to beat any 205-pounder in the world, but he's coming off a knockout of Chuck Liddell in his last fight, so his confidence is sky-high. This has the potential to be one of the greatest light-heavyweight title fights ever."

Also announced for UFC 104 is a heavyweight match-up between Cain Velasquez and Ben Rothwell. Velasquez was scheduled to fight Shane Carwin but Carwin is now challenging Brock Lesnar at UFC 106 for the heavyweight title. Also at UFC 106, it appears the Tito Ortiz-Mark Coleman light heavyweight match is all but official. I think Lesnor will be holding the belt for a while. I cant see many people being able to deal with his size and speed. I think the best way to beat Lesnor is on the feet. Yes, he has huge power in his hands. I believe if Mir was able to keep the fight on the feet he may have been able to inflict some damage. Once the 260 lbs monster is on top of you its not going to be pretty.

Ortiz, making his return to UFC after an 18-month absence, recently posted a video of him signing and faxing his contract for the fight. UFC 106 takes place Nov. 21 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Im excited to see Ortiz back in the cage. Love him or hate him, he is very entertaining, and a huge crowd puller. For the UFC its a smart move! Not sure how Tito will fair after such a long layoff but I will bet it will be an entertaining fight.

UFC 103 Junior Dos Santos vs Mirko Crocop Live Stream

By Ben Janke

UFC 103 is set live stream on mmavines.com on September 19, 2009. It is going to be a great match between Junior Dos Santos versus Mirko Crocop. They are bold veteran MMA fighters with a fairly impressive history in the UFC. Which Dos Santos comes into the engagement with a record of 27 victories, four losses, and zero draws. Crocop comes into the UFC 103 Arena with a record of 12 wins and five losses.

This should be a good battle as their manners match up fairly well with each other. I would give the sharpness to Mirko Crocop just because it appears like he's on more of a successful streak and appears to have more confidence getting to the scrap. Vitor has not fought in the UFC since 2005 and lost to Tito Ortiz in a split conclusion. His previous 5 before that any of discover was another loss to Randy Couture with a TKO stoppage.

Mirko Crocop just recently came back to the UFC after an large since fighting other arrangements and his last actual scrap had a great fight against Matt Lindlin. Vitor knockout Matt in the first round would really boost his confidence in his fight against Junior Dos Santos.

I think that Junior Dos Santos may be on the down side of his career. He recently had a solid engagement against Vanderlei Silva in which Junior Dos Santos actually defeated Silva by decision. Even though he won, I think he looked a little bit sloppy in his operation. We'll have to discover how Junior Dos Santos does in this scrap. Needless to say, he still has the skills to take care of Belfort, but I think that Belfort will end up the victor.

Some of the other conflicts on the UFC 103 live stream will be:

Junior Dos Santos versus Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic Martin Kampmann vs. Mike Swick Josh Koscheck vs. Frank Trigg Hermes Franca vs. Tyson Griffin Efrain Escudero vs. Cole Miller Jim Miller vs. Steve Lopez Rafaello Oliveira Vs. Nik Lentz Paul Daley vs. Brian Foster Tomasz Drwal vs. Drew McFedries Jason Brilz vs. Eliot Marshall Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Igor Pokrajac Rafael dos Anjos vs. Rob Emerson

On different cards, Mike Swick has been forced out of UFC 103 on September 19, 2009, due to a concussion he got when he was sparring this last week. He landed on his back of his head and neck and got a pretty serious concussion. It looks like EliteXC scrapper Paul Daley will replace Swick in the fight against Martin Kampman. Martin Kampman is on a roll lately and looks good against any of the fighters at 170. Paul Daley said I have a handful getting from elite XC to the UFC.

The undercard of Dos Santos vs Crocop should be a solid battle. Pro-cop has passed to the wayside since he came over from Pride. In fact in his last scrap, he only come through because he poked his opponent in the eye and attacked before the ref could even stop the struggle. Apparently the ref didn't see the eye poke. Most spiders though it typically stopped when they poke someone in the eye, but not Crocop. He attacked Al-Turka when he couldn't even see. What a cheap combatant Crocop is. I think he was just so desperate for a win that he didn't care whether he you want in a cheap fashion or not. I hope he gets his face wiped on the mat by Dos Santos.

Airsoft Guns- General Information You Need To Know

By Anthony Carter

In many countries around the world it is nearly impossible to own firearms. If you do wade through all the red tape to finally get a permit, buying a gun can be prohibitively expensive and you will probably find more restrictions than permissions on where and for what you can use your gun. Therefore, a new type of weapon has come onto the market: airsoft guns. Airsoft guns are perfect for people who like to target shoot or engage in mock military games but either can't or don't want to have a real steel weapon around the house. They look and feel like the real thing, but are no more deadly than, say, your lawn mower. In other words, accidents can happen, but only if you're not being careful.

There is little thrill in going into an arena and shooting colored balls and pre-teen boys. Hardcore military simulation, or MilSim, fans have turned to airsoft guns.

When fired point blank, plastic BBs can hurt as much as rubber bullets, however most people engaging in military simulations with airsoft guns wear thick military garb. Additionally, precautions are taken to protect the neck, face, and eyes. Many people chose to wear a balaclava around their face and neck and ANSI approved eye protect is a must. The only place that plastic BBs can really cause damage is to your eyes.

The only way a plastic BB could actually cause permanent damage is if it were fired into your eyes. However, people who engage in military simulations with airsoft guns are required to wear ANSI approved eye protection that is guaranteed not to shatter if impacted with a BB. This way you can have your fun without worrying about accidentally hurting someone.

Before each shot you need to cock the gun to exert pressure on a spring-loaded mechanism. When you pull the trigger the pressure on the spring releases and the pellet is propelled out of the gun. Electric airsoft guns use either a rechargeable or lithium-ion battery to power a small electric motor in the stock of the gun.

There are three different ways in which an airsoft gun fires a BB. The first variety available on the market was the spring fired gun. These were developed in the late 1970's in Japan in response to the nation's ban on firearms. The spring mechanism works through a system of tightly wound coils that hold enough force to propel the BB forward. When you fire a spring airsoft gun, know that you have to cock it prior to each firing.

The next innovation in airsoft guns was the electric model. It utilizes a battery to power a small electric motor that propels the bullets forward. While you can achieve a higher rate of firing, it is not as consistently reliable as a spring mechanism. These days the most popular airsoft gun is gas powered. These guns most closely resemble real weapons. When you load your pellets, you also load a small pressurized gas canister onto your gun. The pressure released from the canister shoots out your bullets. Gas is used in nearly all machine airsoft guns.

Regardless of what type of airsoft gun you choose for your paramilitary games or range practice, know that you have chosen a proven and safer alternative to standard weapons.

What's Next For Andrei Arlovski?

By Ross Everett

One of the stranger sports stories of the past is that of Rick Ankiel. Ankiel became a vital cog in the starting rotation of the 2000 St. Louis Cardinals and as a lefthanded pitcher possessing both velocity (his fastball was in the 95-97 MPH range) and wicked breaking stuff his upside was unlimited. During the Cards run to the 2000 division title Ankiel allowed only 7.05 hits and struck out 9.98 strikeouts per nine innings. As the playoffs began, injuries had decimated the Cards starting rotation forcing Tony LaRussa to use Ankiel as the game 1 starter against the Atlanta Braves and their ace, Greg Maddux. Despite Ankiels youth, however, his stellar regular season performance gave the team cause for optimism. In the course of an inning, it all fell apart for Rick Ankiels career as a starting pitcher. In the third inning of game one, working with a 6-0 lead, Ankiel allowed 2 hits, 4 walks and 5 wild pitches before being pulled with two outs. Initially, he wrote it off as a bad outing until history quickly repeated itself in game 2 of the NLCS against the NY Mets. He threw only 20 pitches in that game, 5 of which went past catcher Eli Marrero. For the next several years he tried to fix the control problems that suddenly manifest themselves on baseballs biggest stage but was unable to do so. Compounding the frustration of Ankiel and his team was the fact that his control problems werent physical or mechanical, but strictly psychological.

Andrei Arlovski has experienced the opposite problem"after starting his career as the Belarusian wildman who devastated opponents with his aggressive, free swinging style and KO power he suddenly gained too *much* control. After trading victories with Tim Sylvia and two short, explosive and exciting bouts, a rubber match was scheduled for UFC 61 and during the fight disaster struck: Arlovski all of a sudden became a tentative and boring fighter. The real losers were the fans, and Sylvia/Arlovski 3 is quick to be mentioned when talk turns toward the worst championship bouts in the history of MMA.

After a layoff of nearly 6th months, Arlovski returned to the octagon and scored a first round KO of overmatched Marcio Cruz. Another snoozefest ensued at UFC 70, where he decisioned Fabrico Werdum. Arlovskis contract with the UFC was up about this time and Zuffa management quickly made clear that they had no interest in resigning him.

During the past few years many questions have been raised about Arlovskis desire to continue his fighting career and several retirement rumors have made the rounds. The premise underpinning this talk goes like this: Arlovski is more interested in enjoying his newfound fame and wealth after his difficult youth and adolescence in Eastern Europe. Hes got more money than hes ever dreamed of and a nice life in his adopted hometown of Chicago. While it would be difficult to blame Arlovski for enjoying the life hes made for himself, this lack of hunger isnt a good mindset for a professional prizefighter.

Arlovski insists that hes anxious to continue his MMA career and has enlisted the services of one of boxings best trainers, Freddy Roach. Roach has been charged with trying to find a middle ground with Arlovski, somewhere between the wildly reckless style of his early career and the tentative, plodding style of his recent fights. Furthermore, Arlovski has also appeared to have trouble letting his hands go of late and if Roach cant fix these problems no one can.

Maybe this is the type of change that Arlovski needs and one that boxing would afford him. Despite a solid fundamental groundfighting base (Sambo, wrestling and BJJ) Arlovski has never shown much of a desire to take the action to the mat. It could also be the case that MMA has passed him by"dont forget that he entered the sport along with one dimensional fighters like Ricco Rodriguez, Wesley Cabbage Correira and Vladmir Matyushenko. It could be that Arlovski still has the heart and desire to fight, but needs to change sports to get back to a championship level of competition.

Pole Dancing Equipment: What to Consider When Taking Up Your New Exercise Regimen

If you are in the market for pole dancing equipment, there are several factors to take into consideration. Pole dancing has become quite a craze among exercise enthusiasts over the last couple of years.

Home pole dancing is a wonderful way to get stronger, fitter and more lean. If you have noticed, strippers tend to have very lean yet muscular bodies that have been built by dancing on a pole. The strength required for some of their moves is immense.

The reason why strippers are in such great shape? Pole dancing, of course! By holding their own body weight, strippers keep tight, toned bodies with ease.

You can have your own stripper pole in your house that is safe, movable and portable. That way, the neighbors, grandparents and other acquaintances do not have to know about your new hobby.

Your family and friends are probably going to wonder how you are getting so toned and fit without spending your life at the gym. You can always keep that little secret to yourself!

When you are looking for the right equipment, you must take safety into consideration first. Who wants to climb upside on a pole and fall on their head? Most people would not be really keen on that!

There are some cheap imitation poles that have really bad reviews, so make sure to read any reviews of other buyers. You want a sturdy, heavy duty pole that will allow you to do every move you learn.

Fish Oil Purity. The Number 1 Concern Of Omega 3 Supplements

By Peter Bertonach

You really ought to be taking Omega 3 supplements for your health. The evidence for this is now totally clear. But before you start l want to look at fish oil purity.

What does purity have to do with taking Omega 3 supplements? Sadly, quite a lot. Most fish is contaminated with such toxins as mercury, PCBs and dioxine. In fact the FDA tell us not to eat too much fish for this reason.

And fish oil goes into fish oil capsules, so there's risks of contamination of our capsules. Some have, in the past, been withdrawn for issues of Omega 3 purity, or lack thereof.

So an organization was set up called the International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS). This sets out maximum levels of contaminants in fish oil like arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, PCBs and dioxine.

This sounds wonderful, except all of this is voluntary and companies that make Omega 3 supplements don't need to comply, and can sell fish oil capsules that don't comply.

Now there's more, there's actually at least 4 sets of different standards for fish oil purity and none are binding.

It's so confusing that one company has decided to just set up it's own standards and it's done so, way stricter than those from the International Fish Oil Standards.

And it's standards are stricter than all 4 of the current International standards. On mercury, or example, it's standard is 10 times lower (ie 10 times stricter) than that of the International Fish Oil Standards.

Arsenic and lead are the same, 10 times lower than that set by the International Fish Oil Standards.

But of course setting standards and meeting them are 2 different things. If you set extremely strict standards, but no one knows if you meet them or not, then what's the point?

This company recognizes this problem, and for this reason gets every batch of fish oil tested by 2 different independent labs. Then just to prove that they comply with their own extremely strict standards they publish the Certificate of Analysis that they get when the testing is done. They publish it on their website so all can see it. The Certificate of Analysis currently shows NO levels of any toxins.

So it's sad to say but it's true, there are contaminants in fish and so there can also be in your supplements. You really do need to consider issues of fish oil purity.

You need to do this to make sure your Omega 3 capsules are improving your health instead of damaging it.

Find out on my website where to source fish oil supplements with no detectable levels of contamination.

Mousasi Bursts Into MMA Stardom With DREAM Welterweight Tournament Win

By Ross Everett

Gegard Mousasi looked to be on his way to a loss to MMA's self styled gator, Ronaldo Jacare. Jacare had been successful keeping the fight on the ground, though Mousasi was able to fend off a submission. Jacare then made a fateful decision, standing up and looking for a big punch. He never knew what hit him and by the time he regained consciousness Mousasi had his hand raised as victor in the fight.

Jacare tried a Superman punch over the upkicks of the lanky Mousasi, who after missing with the first nailed his second kick perfectly and left the Brazilian knocked out cold. It was the Dutch fighters 2nd upset victory of the night, as he had submitted powerful Melvin Manhouf in the semifinal with a nasty triangle choke.

Jacare looked awesome in quickly dispatching of tough Zelig Galesic quickly with a slick armbar. It appeared that he was well on the way to the championship before a tactical error"and a well placed kick"changed the course of the fight.

In the co-main event, a long awaited matchup between Mirko Cro Cop and Alistair Overeem ended in a no contest after the Croatian striking machine was unable to continue following two low knee strikes. Cro Cop took a few minutes to recover from the first but was unable to continue after the second. Until that point, Overeem had been dominating the fight with his superior size and strength and had opened up a bloody gash right above Cro Cops eye. Overeem was gracious in his post fight comments, though it was apparent from his mannerisms that he was very unsatisfied with the outcome.

Earlier in the evening, Shinya Aoki had no trouble with tough WEC veteran Todd Moore. Moore tried to mount a striking attack early in the bout, only to have the wily Aoki take his back and lock in a standing rear naked choke. Moore instinctively went to the corner in an effort to extricate himself, only to fall into Aokis trap"as Moore sat down Aoki transitioned into a neck crank.

In addition to the in-ring action, a highlight of the event was the appearance of the best heavyweight in the world, Fedor Emelianenko. The Russian fighting god addressed the crowd and indicated that hed be fighting in Tokyo on New Years Eve without giving any specifics regarding his opponent. There had been some indication that hed meet the winner of the Cro Cop/Overeem bout but the no contest result puts that plan into serious doubt.

TUF UFC Ultimate Fighter

By Mike Edwards

The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) is a reality based television series and mixed martial arts (better known as MMA) competition, originating from the United States, and produced by Spike TV and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). On this show, professional MMA fighters that have yet to make a big name for themselves are situated in a house outside of Las Vegas, Nevada and compete against each other for the title of The UltimateFighter, winning a six-figure, multi-fight contract with the UFC.

For the first four seasons, prospect UFC fighters were selected in two weight classes. The fighters are divided into two teams, irrespective of weight class, each team coached by a current UFC headliner. The teams then compete (in a manner which varies by season) to determine which team would have the right to pair one of their own fighters against an opponent of their choice in the same weight class to an MMA match, the loser being eliminated from competition. At the end of a season, the two remaining fighters of each weight class are placed in a single-elimination tournament, where the title of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) is awarded to the winner. From season five to season seven, all fighters competed in the same weight class. This season of UFC Ultimate Fighter season 10 will be heavy weights.

The show features the daily preparations each fighter makes to train for competition and the interactions they have with each other living under the same roof. Day-to-day events on the show are overseen by UFC president Dana White. White has attributed the UFC's success to the popularity of The Ultimate Fighter. This season has some big names on the show, the most noticeable one is Kimbo Slice the internet fighting sensation. Will the street fighter be able to handle the tension in the house, and beat some actual trained martial artists?

One aspect Im excited for is the Ramapage Vs Evans (the Coaches) fight which will take place later this year. They already have shown they both want to fight each other. Rampage turned down a chance to fight for the title deciding he wanted to fight Rashad first. Win or lose, it looks likely that Rampage will get a title shot shortly after he fights Rashad.

With the exception of the season finales, fights on The Ultimate Fighter are sanctioned by the Nevada Athletic Commission as exhibition matches and do not count for or against a fighter's professional record. This is done to keep the results from going public before the air date.

The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights premieres on Spike TV at 10pm on Wednesday, September 16th.

The Performing Art Form Of Dance

By Peggy Ryersen

Dance is commonly considered to be a form of art. This is a fact acknowledged by civilizations around the world, both in ancient and modern times. Dance is a form of emotional expression that is highly sophisticated and technical.

A dance may just be a rhythmic swaying of your body, to the music or it might be a violent and passionate communication form of what cannot be seen, but has to be felt. If you understand this sort of feeling, you will be able to express yourself in dance wordlessly.

Dance starts off with a gathering of people. They come together to express emotions like joy, hurt or sorrow, but these dance forms then turn into trends. Dancing trends do not have to be classical in nature, but they can evolve into a new form that is a reflection of the traditional, cultural or social views of the time.

In earlier times, the waltz was considered to be a "hot" dance just because the man puts his arm around his dance partner's waist. Things have changed since then. Now nobody thinks twice about a couple dancing erotically, such as is the case with the tango.

Many people consider dance forms to be in 2 different types of schools. One belief that dance should be Traditional, especially those sorts of dances which have come down to us unchanged through the ages. One would not presume to start dancing hip hop to the stately music of a waltz. On the other hand, one cannot waltz to a jazz trombone. Nevertheless, as many dance forms are spontaneous, many people believe that both the classical forms and the spontaneous forms can come together in really marvelous and inspirational creations and performances.

The belief that dance and music are dependent upon each other is not new and the fact that they can be put together to appear as one only proves that. Without one, the other would not exist. However, when it comes to a performance it is possible to have just music being played or a dance being performed without music, such as tap dancing. As long as the dancer can keep a rhythm without music it is possible to put on a good performance for the audience.

New forms of music are definitely going to inspire spontaneous and new forms of dance. So one cannot say that dance is limited to one era or age and cannot evolve into a stately new form, mayhap the Elizabethan Gaillard, the Georgian Cotillion or the Roger Coverley coming back again in another form, which would be recognizable to our ancestors, but come under the category of modern dance.

So it does not matter if people consider you to have 2 left feet. If the music sways you enough to want to stand up and move your feet, repeat those moments again, then move your head, and the rest of your body, you are dancing. Perhaps you are making the same movements your ancestors did more than 5000 years ago, and who were considered bewitching dancers to enthrall the public! Whatever the reason, dance as an art form is going to be around in some form or the other through time eternal.

What Aerobic fitness Can Do For You

By Sarah Gardner

Aerobic fitness is like a fountain of youth. The more aerobically fit you are, the younger you feel, and feeling younger gives you an aura of confidence that also makes you look younger.

How is Aerobic Fitness Defined?

Basically, aerobic fitness means: The level of effort which will make your muscles get extra oxygen, allowing the muscles to put forth more exertion.

Unfit people experience shortness of breath when doing normal activities, like bending over to pick up a child, or doing housework or yardwork. Bending over to take laundry out of the clothes dryer can be a challenge for an overweight person who has a low level of aerobic fitness.

If you strive to bring your level of aerobic fitness up, gasping for air when you go about everyday activities will soon be a distant memory.

How Can I Bring Up My Aerobic Fitness Level?

The way to get more aerobically fit is very simple: increase your level of aerobic exercise. This does not mean heavy duty or high impact exercise: on the contrary! You can actually begin by simply walking. It is quite possible to walk for fitness and achieve a much younger and healthier look.

It is important to make your walking pace rapid enough to get the muscles working, but not so fast that you can't breathe. A good guideline is that you ought to be able to speak, but not able to deliver a speech without pausing, for example.

Many find that listening to music through an MP3 player or walkman is a good way to keep them moving. Also, lots of people have found that having a walking group or a walking buddy helps to keep the enjoyment of aerobic exercise fresh and to add motivation since others are depending on you.

If you like to walk but lack the motivation to get out there and walk every day, try wearing a pedometer that counts your steps every day. It's fun to find out how many steps you take in a typical day, and then it's even more fun to see if you can add just a few steps a day, then a few steps more, and more, until you are walking almost everywhere you go.

For the people who really do not enjoy aerobic exercise, but do it since they know about the health benefits, they often find ways to multi-task while they exercise. Reading books or magazines, watching TV, or speaking on the phone may be some things that will help to pass the time as you walk the treadmill.

There is absolutely no doubt about it: improving your aerobic fitness will make you look younger and feel younger too!

UFC 94 Flashback: GSP Destroys BJ Penn

By Ross Everett

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.

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 . The first round was fairly evenly contested, with St. Pierre trying to get a first hand feel for Penns often unorthodox takedown defense. GSP made several takedown attempts, but had them repeatedly stuffed.

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. GSP mixed up his look perfectly, either staying just outside Penns range using his 6 reach advantage effectively or more often smothering his opponent on takedown attempts.

GSP began to assert his dominance in round two. He got a takedown early in the frame and began to mount a ground and pound assault while moving around in Penns legendary guard 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 may be the best in the world at fighting while backing up, and Silva found his aggressive style working against him. Machida took his opponent down and knocked his opponent down twice"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.

Purchase One Of The Airsoft Guns Today!

By Anthony Carter

At one time in your past your father, grandfather, or adult role model taught you how to hunt. They taught you how to handle a weapon and how to make very precise shots. Why not teach your teenager how to do the same. By letting them learn with one of the Airsoft guns you will be giving them the experience they need to become a very good hunter and keeping them safe.

The basics of hunting can be taught with an Airsoft gun so that if they need some extra practice and make some off shots, they will be spreading a rubber bb over the area instead of an actual bullet. They will learn that handling a job requires a lot of concentration and practice in order to shoot one safely.

If a bullet is misfired from a gun and hits someone in the arm or leg, it can cause some serious damage. If a rubber bb from an Airsoft gun is misfired and hits someone in the leg or arm it will not be nearly as devastating. It will probably leave a nasty bruise and mark but it should not cause the skin to break unless it is shot at a very close range.

When training your teenager to shoot, take the Airsoft gun out to the back yard and set up a paper target for them to shoot at. The paper targets can be purchased at any local store that has a sporting good section. Let them practice shooting at the target until they get proficient enough to shoot at it and hit the center of the target every time.

When they are ready to move on to other targets and they have shown you that they can be responsible when using the Airsoft guns, take them to the next level. Find a very remote area where there is no chance that someone may be jogging or walking in the woods. Let your new hunter practice shooting outside and at actual targets like squirrels or at random leaves or tree limbs that are selected by you.

By letting them shoot the Airsoft gun in the outdoors, you are preparing them for the noises and sounds that come with a wooded area. They will not only learn how to take aim at actual targets but they will learn how to listen for sounds that would indicate that an animal is coming their way. They will learn what to watch out for when they are hunting.

When you are done with your training you will find that your trainee is ready for an actual hunt. They will know how to handle a live gun and what to look for when they are out there. This can all be accomplished while using an Airsoft gun so that the danger of learning to handle a weapon becomes a lot less dangerous.

If you want to be sure that the young person in your life is safe while learning how to operate a weapon, giving them Airsoft guns is the right answer. Keep them safe and give them the education that they will need.

The quality of your life and then lives of your loved ones, like your family or your partner would also be affected. Truly, agoraphobia is a serious medical condition.

Due to the fact that agoraphobia seriously limits socializing with other people while restricting daily activities, anxiety and depression is a very likely end result. When agoraphobia treatment is not sough after, then stopping panic attacks or overcoming depression may be a daunting task. Worse, it may even push patients to suffer substance abuse, only to help them escape harsh effects of this disease.

Because it limits a person's activities, it can lead to anxiety and depression. Some people with agoraphobia turn to substance abuse in order to cope with fear, guilt, hopelessness and isolation. Without agoraphobia treatment, overcoming depression and preventing panic attacks becomes even more difficult.

What can you do? The fear and embarrassment caused by the disorder makes it difficult to consult a professional. For starters, here are some of the things that can be done: Write down the symptoms you are experiencing, Write down any life changing events you have experienced, anything that could have caused significant stress, List down any physical and mental health conditions you have been diagnosed, If consulting a physician ask a trusted family member to be present. This way, you get the support you need as well as another person to remember information you might have missed or forgotten, Write down questions you want to ask so you can make the most of your appointments.

Top Ways to Build Muscle Quickly

By Curtis Joel

Many articles have been written about creatine and periodization. In every magazine open you'll see thermogenic products from cover to cover. So why is it that after reading all of these articles you still aren't as lean and muscular as you want to be? The answer is simple.

You've gained knowledge about some of the components of the body transformation process -- not the entire picture. You just need to learn how to put all of the pieces together into a whole system.

This is the first of a series of articles I'll be writing that will link together all of the pieces of knowledge you've acquired into a usable whole. This is a plan that works and is doable.

In this first stage of your body transformation you're going to utilize a weight training technology I've termed metabolic shift training. It is the most effective method for building muscle, burning fat, and transforming the body that I've ever encountered.

If you're like most people you've tried other routines that other people said have worked for them. You tried the ones you've seen in the fitness magazines, you've tried your gym buddies routine and it probably didn't work for you. That's because there is no perfect routine.

Metabolic shift training will get your muscles out of their comfort zones. This will cause your body to develop new muscle and burn fat. Furthermore, as you adapt to the stimulus, progression is built in so that you never overtrain.

Sure, there are general principles of body development that apply to everyone, however, you are an individual and once you can understand and apply these some general rules you'll be able to customize some aspects of your training regimen.

The way to literally design your body is to have control over the composition of it. The vital prerequisite to determining how much fat your body burns is a control of how much muscle covers your skeleton. If you want to chisel or sculpt a body, you first need to grow muscle.

The most common mistake that people make is attempting lose fat without having a concern for muscle. Did you know that muscle is the site where fat itself is burned? So doesn't it make sense that if you want to burn more fat that you'd want to improve that quality of your fat burning furnace?

How did you get introduced to strength training? Three times a week, basic compound movements, resting every other day? At first that worked. Then you learned more and you may have met someone that trains legs on Fridays and chest on Tuesdays.

You learned about supersets and forced reps. Your "thighs," rather than consisting of hams and quads, soon became inner quads, outer quads, sweep, and teardrop. The overhead presses you started with for delts were soon joined by all types of lateral movements to the front, sides, and rear.

This is the progression for most people from beginner to intermediate phase bodybuilding. As you advanced, you may have noticed that your gains started to slow. Results start to diminish.

Taking Fish Oil In Pregnancy. Is It A Good Idea Or Not?

By Peter Bertonach

There is now pretty much evidence of the health benefits of Omega 3 polyunsaturated fish oil. But what about when you're pregnant. Should you take fish oil in pregnancy?

There are a number of questions in this. Firstly is it safe to take fish oil in pregnancy? Yes it is. There are no documented risks to taking fish oil pregnancy for a normal healthy mother.

And secondly, are there benefits to either the mother or the baby, or both, of taking Omega 3 during pregnancy?

There have been a wide range of benefits that are shown to apply to health adults, and unhealthy adults, from taking fish oil supplements. So any pregnant woman should expect to see the same benefits. More on this below though.

But equally importantly what benefits are there to the fetus or the baby, later, from the mother taking fish oil supplements during pregnancy?

Well studies have shown quite a wide range of benefits. About 95% of adults in the US are deficient in DHA, the most important of the Omega 3 fatty acids. You get DHA from fish oil.

The brain is made up of a high percentage of fat, and the most common fat in the brain is DHA. It is essential for good brain development. The fetal brain develops most during the third trimester of pregnancy, and during this time has a high demand for EFAs, or essential fatty acids. If there is a deficiency there are possible implications for brain development and later performance.

There are studies that show that taking fish oil in pregnancy can boost the supply of DHA to the fetal brain and this can have the following benefits:

Improved brain function. Increased ability to concentrate as a child. Improvements in hand/eye coordination. Improvements in visual acuity. Improvement in the ability to concentrate. A beneficial, or preventative effect for ADHD. Better sleep patterns in infancy.

and more.

And there are also studies that low levels of DHA during pregnancy can lead to an increased risk of need for a cesarean.

That's a pretty impressive list. Lets look at the benefits of taking fish oil capsules during pregnancy to the mother again.

Lower risk of postpartum depression. Reduced risk of breast cancer. Lower risk of developing pre-eclampsia. Reduced risk of a cesarean birth.

Convinced to take fish oil supplements during your pregnancy yet? Remember, around 95% of the population are deficient in Omega 3 essential fatty acids found in fish oil, and that doesn't change when you're pregnant, unless you make it change.

Should you get your Omega 3 fats from eating fish? No problem, as long as you don't eat a lot. There are plenty of government warnings about eating fish due to mercury contamination. So how do you get your good healthy Omega 3 fats in pregnancy? Take Omega 3 capsules. The best ones aren't contaminated by mercury. But not all Omega 3 capsules are the same.

What Is The Airsoft Guns?

By Anthony Carter

What are Airsoft Guns and are they dangerous? An Airsoft gun is a gun that works based on air. The pumping action is what makes an Airsoft gun work, the more pumps that you give your gun the faster and harder it will propel. The Airsoft gun is not your regular BB gun. The only thing the two have in common is that they both look similar to a real gun or weapon. An Airsoft gun will shoot 6mm plastic BBs.

The law will not let certain people such as criminals own a firearm but there isn't a law that states you can't own an Airsoft gun. Now you can feel safe by having a gun that you know is a toy but a criminal doesn't. You can flash your gun and care them away by the sight.

The first Airsoft guns came onto the market in the 1970s in Japan. Citizens wanted to own a firearm but it was illegal so the market started making a gun that looked real yet wouldn't give life-threatening injury. They started it as a spring loaded gun and then got revamped into a gas powered gun and then onto an electric one.

The Airsoft guns are not even made to break glass or damage someone. The BBs from Airsoft guns can hurt or sting you if you are hit but they will not give you a life-threatening injury. They may graze the skin but will not go through. As with shooting any gun you need to take precautions and always wear goggles or protective eyewear.

When looking for an Airsoft gun don't become surprised when you see all of the guns on the market to choose from such as CO2 pistols, spring guns, BB gun and the Airsoft electric gun is just a few you may see. But it doesn't stop here; you can also find accessories just as if you owned a real firearm such as holsters, lasers and safes.

A lot of people don't feel comfortable carrying a firearm but they want to feel the security that it gives them so instead of going through all the paperwork they turn to the off market. When you purchase a Airsoft gun they all come with a orange tip so when looked at by a law enforcement official they know it's a toy and not a real gun.

The two most popular kinds of Airsoft guns on the market are the gas powered which works like a CO2 gun, yet uses a refillable gas instead of cartridges or cylinders. The other most popular Airsoft gun on the market is the electric powered gun which works on batteries. This type of power produces a simultaneous shot instead of one or two at a time. This type of action works like a machine gun or automatic weapon.

Whatever your needs may be I am positive that you will see an Airsoft gun on the market to meet not only your needs but as well as your budget. Always make sure you check with your local dealer before purchasing any type of gun rather it is an Airsoft gun or a firearm.
