UFC 85 Flashback: Alves, Bisping Win
A day after failing to make weight for his fight against Matt Hughes, Thiago Alves dominated the former UFC welterweight champion en route to a 2nd round TKO victory. The main event at UFC 85 in London was somewhat anticlimactic to the fans at the O2 Arena who considered the semifinal matchup between Manchester’s Michael Bisping and Jason Day the biggest fight on the card.
Hughes didn’t make any excuses following his one sided loss, saying simply that hes a good fighter and he got me. The longtime king of the UFCs welterweight division also gave notice that his career as an active fighter was drawing to a close, suggesting that he had one fight left and challenging Matt Serra in what presumably would be his retirement match. Hughes had no answer for Alves from the opening horn, as he was stuffed on several takedown attempts early on. When he did finally get his opponent to the ground he was unable to do much damage. Alves, conversely, scored effectively with his striking including several damaging knee strikes. He also did considerable work on the ground, with an elbow strike opening up a large cut on Hughes forehead.
The end came early in the 2nd round as Hughes was caught coming in by a devastating knee strike. He fell to the canvas in a heap and referee Herb Dean was jumping in to stop the contest before Alves could follow up with any punches. As the ringside physician entered the ring to check on the fallen fighter, Hughes gave an indication that his knee was injured.
Michael Bisping simply overwhelmed Jason Day en route to a lopsided TKO victory. Bisping built upon the improved boxing skills he demonstrated at UFC 83 by unveiling an impressive ground and pound attack. Day never really got anything going and by the last minute of the fight was simply trying to cover up to prevent damage from Bispings elbows and hammer fists. Between his move down to the middleweight division and his improved technical striking skills, Bisping looks like a different fighter. His post UFC 83 suggestion that he wanted a fight with Anderson Silva seemed premature at the time, but following another devastating performance its starting to look much more realistic.
In other action, Mike Swick used an array of high kicks and a 7 reach advantage to coast to a unanimous decision over Marcus Davis. Davis, a former professional boxer, was unable to get inside against his lanky opponent and was never really in the fight. Like Bisping, Swick may have made an excellent career choice by moving down in weight. His height and reach, combined with a well rounded striking game, makes him a particularly different matchup at the lower weight.
A controversial point deduction for a strike to the back of the head cost Nate Marquardt his match against Thales Leites. Marquardt was solidly in charge for the entire fight, but suffered a point deduction for an illegal knee strike in round one. While that infraction was valid, replays of the 2nd round deduction for the strike to the back of the head gave the impression that he was penalized for a legal strike to the side of the head. The 2 point deduction changed the outcome of the fight, with Leites winning a split decision by the scores of 28-27, 28-27, 27-28.
In the opening PPV match, another controversial ending saw Fabrico Werdum defeat Brandon Vera by 1st round KO. The fight had been evenly contested up until the stoppage, with Werdum scoring a couple of takedown and Vera countering with some effective punching. Late in the first round, Werdum got a full mount and began to fire a series of punches. Vera was clearly defending himself and didnt appear to be hurt at all when the referee jumped in to stop the fight.

A Guide To The Types Of Caskets
The family members left behind by a departed loved one still have to face practical matters although powerful emotions of sorrow and grief threaten to overcome them. Details of the funeral service, the arrangement for a place where the body will be interred, and choosing an appropriate casket as details that the family members must look into even during mourning. The casket is characterized as any box utilized for containing the body of a person who died. There are many types and designs of a casket, and most people are not aware of these. The article will enumerate the various characteristics of caskets in order to assist people in selecting the best one for their deceased loved one.
The first thing to be kept in the mind when purchasing a casket is the material that has been used to make it. You can either go for wood, which can be found in lots of grains, colours and kinds such as mahogany, cherry, and maple, or you can choose metal caskets, which are usually made of stainless steel and come in different colours. When choosing between these two kinds of caskets, you would need to think about the appearance of the exterior as per your preference and how much you are ready to pay.
As far as the make is concerned, you have a choice between half couch or full couch, which determines the outer cover of the casket. The difference between the two types is that full couch allows complete display of the body while half couch displays only the upper portion.
The size of the caskets can also notably differ. Thus you should know the required dimensions, and whether you require the casket to be modified from the normal available size.
The final thing to think about is where to source the casket. A reputable casket shop in your area may have a casket that you favor or – if time is not of the essence – you can have a casket custom built for your departed loved one. Most funeral homes also sell a selection of caskets. However, their rate might be a bit higher and their stocks limited than that available from a direct supplier of casket and other funerary essentials. You can also choose from a wide selection of casket designs through the Internet, where funeral supplies stores may also have an online store. When buying a casket through online merchants, you must consider the cost of shipping.

The Mapes Hotel: Lost Landmark Of Northern Nevada History
On January 31, 2000, the historic Mapes Hotel in Reno was imploded by 75 pounds of explosives tucked into the art-deco structures support columns. The destruction of the Mapes put an end to years of efforts to preserve the building via lawsuits, redevelopment proposals, and grass roots action. The National Trust for Historic Preservation took up the cause of the Mapes, and challenged the destruction in a suit that eventually reached the Nevada Supreme Court.
While the efficacy and justification of demolishing the Mapes is debatable, one thing that is not is the glorious history of the hotel. It was built in’47, and signaled the start of the modern era of casino gambling. Despite the notoriety of Bugsy Siegel and the Flamingo in Las Vegas, it was the Mapes that became the first building in the nation to have a hotel, casino and live entertainment under one roof. It also became the hotel of choice for celebrities staying in Northern Nevada. Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe stayed at The Mapes during the filming of ‘The Misfits’. Joseph McCarthy, America’s famed anti-Communist crusader, admitted to a reporter over cocktails in the Mapes Lounge that he really didn’t have a list of Communists in the US despite his frequent and vitriolic insistence to the contrary.
In the 50s and 60s it became, along with Lake Tahoes Cal-Neva Lodge the place to be seen in Northern Nevada. The top floor, window-walled Sky Room showcased performances by the legends: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jackie Gleason, Louis Prima, Mae West, Milton Berle, Sammy Davis, Jr., and the Marx Brothers among others. Subsequent years were not kind to downtown Reno but the Mapes continued to do well during the 60′s and 70′s. The hotel finally closed in’82, due more to financial difficulties experienced by the Mapes family caused by one of their other Northern Nevada gaming properties than anything else.
Reno never experienced the massive growth that occurred in Las Vegas and southern Nevada, and for that reason the destruction of the Mapes is more open to debate than the hotel demolitions to the south. Even the demolition of The Sands–perhaps the most historically significant casino in the state–is hard to argue against given the inability of such a small property to compete in the current Las Vegas marketplace and in light of the value of the mid-strip real estate. The old properties may have historic value to pop culture historians, but their survival doesn’t make economic sense. They’re simply ‘analog players in a digital world’.
This is not the case in Reno, where land and buildings for development in virtually every casino area are abundant. The official reason that the Mapes had to come down was that the city needed the land–which sits along the banks of the Truckee River–to expand its riverside district of art galleries, restaurants and shops. The revitalization of downtown Reno is definitely needed and a legitimate goal, but at the same time it is hard to think that the Mapes was a barrier to this. Indeed, a number of proposals for redevelopment including office space, artists lofts and upscale senior housing would have probably served to enhance the livability of the downtown area. For whatever reason, the City Redevelopment Authority wouldn’t approve any of the proposals and the fate of the Mapes was sealed.
The role of the City Redevelopment Authority was questioned throughout the process. Overlooking the Truckee River, the hotel was on a prime location between the downtown casino area and the riverfront district. Back in’96, the city of Reno purchased the hotel and began entertaining proposals for renovation and redevelopment. A number of sound financial proposals were presented that would preserve the integrity of the structure including condominiums, office space, and perhaps most viable, upscale senior apartments. Oddly, all of these proposals were turned down by the citys Redevelopment Agency which eventually led to the demolition of the structure.
Following the 2000 demolition, the lot remained vacant for over a year until a temporary ice skating rink was hastily constructed the following winter. The property has been improved and the rink is now permanent which, while not in itself a bad use for the land, further calls into question the efficacy of demolishing the structure. It would appear that the city had no clue what to do with the land, but for whatever reason wanted the building brought down. This has led to all sorts of conspiracy theories, from the City Development Agency having financial incentive to raze the hotel to rumors that the building was haunted and was destroyed to keep the Reno area from being overrun with paranormal activity. Whatever the reason for the decision, the city of Reno has lost a beautiful art deco treasure that played a significant part in the economic growth of the state.

Understanding Remote Viewing
Remote viewing seems to be a term that a lot of people are just starting to become familiar with and it has been at times been referred to as a time machine of sorts. This psychic ability is used to determine the outcome of a future event that one could not possibly predict on his or her own.
However, for some individuals they have the ability of remote viewing and can perfectly describe a place or object that is in another area than where they happen to be now. In some ways, remote viewing is similar to the use of dowsing rods. Dowsing rods search for something as does the individual who is remote viewing.
There is no preset time when it comes to remote viewing, you can see into the past, present or the future to learn what you wish to know. Remote viewing is comparable to the ability to astral travel. AYou can learn how to remote view without being a psychic.
Many consider that while remote viewing you are tapping into the same ability of experiencing dj vu. Some individuals are better able to remote view than others are. Yet, there are still others who can remote view with little, to no practice. For some it may take the commitment of years of practice to succeed with remote viewing.
One example of remote viewing that seems to come naturally is that of a parent who suddenly knows that their child is in danger although they may be miles apart. Another form may be that of an individual who just knows there has been a death in the family and can tell you who died, although no one has made such an announcements to the family. Such cases are actually incidents of remote viewing.
There are two ways to succeed in remote viewing. Some individuals have the ability to leave their body in spirit and then travel to a different location or place in time to observe something they wish to see. Others have the ability to simple see an object or place in their minds eye. When you are a remote viewer, you control your destination and have the ability to return to your beginning location or state.
You see, there is no reason to fear the ability to remote view, since it is a natural occurrence. You can begin learning how to remote view right now if you wish to do so. It is essential to find a quiet place with no distractions. Relax your body completely and then begin to visualize the area around you or another room in the house. Concentrate on the different settings of the past you were involved in or even go back in time a few years and actually feel you as being there.
Then after a little while, work on remote viewing into the future. Start by seeing yourself happy a few years from the current year. Then slowly go ahead a few more years and then a few more years after that. With these practices, you should be able to conquer remote viewing in no time at all.
Some scientists consider that everyone could remote view in the past; however, the ability has been lost in time over the years. However, you can gain access to this forgotten ability when you learn to communicate with your subconscious mind.
There are many things that can help you to achieve this. For example one of the most successful ways of communicating with your subconscious mind is by the use of hypnosis. You can try visiting a professional hypnotherapist or listening to a specialist ‘remote viewing’ hypnosis recording.
You can begin repeating simple affirmations in order to communicate with your subconscious mind or you may wish to try out some new audio technology, binaural beats that can tune your brainwaves into the right frequency to help you remote view.
You may find that remote viewing comes to you naturally or you may find yourself struggling to succeed. Investing in some of these tools will aid your in learning how to remote view.

The Secret Of Anti Aging
Everybody starts to both feel and see the effects of aging as they get older. Their nails and hair loses their youth and lustre, their skin gets flabby, their muscles get thin, and their knees and elbows begin to ache. Sex becomes a distant memory, their memory becomes less sharp, and their energy deteriorates.
Most aspects of a person’s health and life are determined by human growth hormone (HGH). HGH is primarily responsible for the body’s rejuvenation and health. The substances that are produced by this hormone help with to keep all aspects of a person’s health in top shape including a sharp brain, strong muscles, and firm skin.
HGH is most effective when a person is very young up until a person is about 20. From then on, the production of HGH is very drastically reduced. By the time a person is 50 the production of HGH is almost 50%. Up until recently the only alternative method to increase the low levels of HGH was to purchase HGH injections which are very and usually only available from specialized clinics. These synthetic alternatives of HGH are extremely expensive.
However, these days, there have been changes in the formulation of promoters of growth hormone. A person can now help with the production of their own natural HGH with tablet that is taken daily. These pills will provide all of the nutrients that are required in order to stimulate your body’s own natural production of natural HGH. Soon you will feel all of the benefits of investing in this HGH supplement and as the levels of your growth hormone grow, a person’s sex drive will be back, their nails an hair will be improve, their memory will be greatly retentive and sharper, their strength will be increased, their muscles will be better defined, and their skin will recover some of its firmness and glow.
These promoters of growth hormone are available in numerous types such as sprays and pills. However, it seems the pills are the most effective, probably because they disperse easily into a person’s bloodstream and send their nutrients right into the pituitary gland that provides the quickest results.
There are many benefits of HGH for to everybody. At one time HGH was used primarily by athletes to speed up recovery time after a training session and to promote muscle mass. However, these days, everyone can benefit from HGH.

Dominate The Market – OTC Bulletin Board – Over The Counter Bulletin Board
For many professionals, entrepreneurs and business owners the current reality of their inter company and inter industry promotion and prominence is a far cry from where they originally envisioned themselves to be. What is the factor that thrusts some people and companies forward in the professional sense and why are some straggling behind like desperate, obsolete room size computers in a hand held PC world?
Its actually quite simple and it all comes down to a decision… a decision to step up and dominate in a no holds barred, bare knuckle fight to the finish. You need to understand and be comfortable with the reality that not everyone will make it. Most of your colleagues and professional friends are not psychologically or professionally built to last, meaning, they are not willing to do ‘whatever it takes’ to get to that next level.
Here is how it’s done: First, decide on what you want, who you want to be and where you want to go in your career. Second, surround yourself with people that have the above characteristics your are seeking to acquire. Chances are, most of these characteristics will be spread out over several different people as opposed to one or two professional who demonstrate your future self so find 10+ people to become well associated with and begin to pattern them. Don’t just pattern the outward and obvious characteristics but absorb the aura of their overall presents (calm, cool, collect and maybe even arrogant and rude at times).
What are their hobbies and extracurricular interests as these interests are a contributing factor to who they have become. Next, make a decision! Make a decision to overcome any obstacles that stand in your way. Dump friends and associates who are not supportive as they will only hold you back. You should quickly sever ties with any and all counterproductive individuals and interests that keep you from achieving your goal. Next, every morning as you’re getting dressed, brushing your teeth you should also be putting on your psychological garb as well. Slip into the mindset of that person you want to be.
Put blinders on your eyes so there are no distractions. What you will find is that opportunities will seem to fall into your lap because you are willingly submerging yourself into a subculture that has worked for all of those around you who are living the dream that you will soon be part of.
As for domination, you will find that stepping into this new code of conduct and professional character you will begin to steamroll forward, yes some people will be crushed under the wheel of your progress but this is a natural part of evolution. Use the element of arrogance, not in an artificial way that is used by insecure people but in a form of self promotion. Begin to state your opinion on industry specific blogs.
Put out industry niche information videos on viral media sites. Bring internet surfers to your blogs and videos with social and news bookmarking links scattered all over the web. Brand yourself as the ‘god’ of your industry. Your opinion matters and after others see you opinions and concepts enough they will begin to see these ideas as the norm. They will feel that up until now they have been misinformed and uninformed and you are the person on the cutting edge of your industry. As you build momentum, whatever you do, do not stop! As you build traction of growing your own personal ‘brand’ and ‘subculture’ within the industry, this should only influence you to take it one step further with articles submitted to global, high PR article directories and press releases through various channels. This is just the beginning but you are on your way to absolute, industry domination!

Taking A Company Public – Reverse Merger Transaction – Reverse Merger Wire
Take Your Company Public: Beware of Scams! Many entrepreneurs dream of taking their company public and expanding their venture into an international enterprise that begins to hemorrhage investment capital and profits from the get-go but then reality sets in as one begins to navigate the dingy, shark infested waters of the ‘go public’ market place.
There are consultants and boiler room penny stock misfits just waiting for you to stumble onto their site and in only a few minutes on the phone you’re reeled in and signing contracts and making wire transfers and equity disbursements and at the end of the grueling 3 to 6 month process, you’re broke, your company is in shambles and you just stand their staring off into space feeling like the boogie-man just slapped you around. Welcome to an industry where the weak are preyed upon like wolves on an injured lamb tangled in a fence.
If you are serious about going public there are some structures to stay away from because 99.9% of the time they fail. Pink Sheets and Reverse Mergers into a public shell are two formations to be very weary of. Pink Sheets are almost a completely unregulated trading platform and known by any savvy investor as the ‘red light district’ of the public trading industry. Pump ‘em and dump ‘em is the name of the game with Pink Sheets. Stock Price manipulation is as common with pink sheets as gross stench is to 5 day old road kill on a desert highway. If you are going to get involved with Pink Sheets find an attorney or consultant that can guide you around the scam artists, it’s difficult to make in on the Pinks but I have heard of a few companies making it.
The next cesspool in the trading industry is ultra popular (for newbie’s) and the number one ‘big mistake’ made by countless ‘go public’ rookies, the reverse merger into a public shell ouch! It even hurts to say it. I get calls on a daily basis from business owners who thought they were getting droppings of manna from heaven when a consultant suggested that they save $100,000′s and months of work by simply buying a public shell and merging their entity with it and abracadabra you’re big time and public and making millions. Sadly the reality is that this poor sap just spent $200k on an entity with liens and 15% equity distributed to a group of investors who pumped up the stock and dumped it before the ink on the contracts was dry. Now his dreams are shattered, he’s broke; his company will get stripped down and sold off in pieces like an unlocked car in the ghetto.
It’s sad when I see the same scams perpetrated on the uninformed over and over again. If you are trying to raise capital, find a consultant, objective broker dealer or attorney who will listen to your needs and before doing anything will give you the good and bad news about the various options. Taking your company public can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your career. You can purchase other companies with stock. You can use stock as collateral for quick loans to support growth. You can reward employees with shares in the company for meeting certain objectives. Go public, fulfill your dreams just use caution as you proceed.

Forget Miracle Diets! Follow These Effective Healthy Body Techniques
The health market is saturated with fad diets and magic pill gimmicks that leave many people scratching their heads. We all know about the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle, but with the constant barrage of advertisements coming our way how do we tell what is a scam and what is legit?
But, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Forget about those fad diets and forget about what you co-workers tell you about health and follow these important steps to turn your life around live healthy and happy!
Fruits & Veggies – Most Americans don’t get their daily recommended amounts of fruits and veggies according to the new MyPyramid guidelines. In fact, reports show that people don’t even get half of that! But, these diet staples are extremely important to living a healthy life so try adding more to your daily diet. You can do that by adding veggies to casseroles, stews and soups and stock up on frozen vegetables so you can quickly prepare them anytime.
Pass on processed – Unfortunately, processed foods make up the bulk of the typical American diet. The problem is that these types of foods pass on little to no nutrients and they don’t fill you up for very long so you find yourself snacking again a short time later. So, make the bulk of your diet unprocessed whole foods.
Calories In, Calories Out – Calories are the most important aspect of both losing and maintaining weight. If losing weight is your goal then eliminate a small amount, around 150-200 calories, from your diet by following a low calorie diet plan and regularly exercising.
Get Moving – Leading health experts agree that the best approach to living a healthy life is to not follow a healthy diet and regularly exercise! Try to get around 30 minutes of physical activity daily. If absolutely hate exercising then try to sneak it in by parking far away when you visit the grocery store or play with the kids outside, for example.
