Saddles For Sale: Which One To Buy?

By Richard Burklin

It can be hard for beginners to tell the difference between all of the saddles for sale on the market. For a newcomer, what makes horse saddle unique might not be so obvious at first glance. And some differences are not exactly visible at first.

The way a saddle rides and handles will vary as well. And then there is the human factor. That is, different people with different body types will have different needs for a horse saddle. Personal preference also plays a role in the selection, too. So, how can someone be sure how to pick the right saddle when there is so much criteria to choose from? There are several ways to go about picking the right saddle.

Let's investigate some different things to consider with saddles for sale:

The most important thing to consider is how the saddle fits your animal. The saddle's fit should trump any other aspect that may be influencing your decision to purchase. A horse can be hurt and become upset by a saddle that does not fit correctly.

Additionally, it can create a severe hazard for the rider since the improper fit could make staying on the horse difficult. Clearly, both are situations best avoided. The best way to actually avoid this would be to take a proper measurement of the horse prior to purchasing the saddle.

If you are looking to save money on a purchase, buying used can be a wise idea. However, it is important to inspect the saddle for wear and tear. Some used saddles hold up remarkably well even after having been put through enormous use.

That is not to say that just because a used saddle is a made by known brand name that you can overlook excessive wear and tear. If someone is selling a saddle that is just torn to shreds, it is useless, regardless of the original maker.

Sometimes saddles can be tricky. You may not notice a problem right away. But once you put the saddle on your horse and try it out, sometimes something just isn't right. It could be the fit. It could be a stray part that pokes you. It could be a number of things.

You might find on your first ride with your new horse saddle that it seems to move around a bit too much. Sometimes this happens and you won't know until you have actually tested out your new saddle.

Also, even if the saddle rides well, it could have problems. If you notice dark black spots on the horse after riding the saddle, these are bruises that would indicate the saddle is painful for the horse. Such a saddle would have to be replaced as well since it is a problem for the horse.

You probably weren't expecting so many issues to consider when you started looking at all of the saddles for sale in stores. But if you do take the time to choose wisely, you will definitely enjoy your saddle purchase a lot more. And more importantly, so will your horse.

Pool Table Light: Clear Picture Of The Game

By Pamela Smith

In earlier years, pool or billiards was usually considered a game believed in a seedy under-lit pool halls infused in thick cigarette smoke with shady characters of all stripes betting on a languid parlor game. The movie, The Color of Money, which starred Tom Cruise and the late Paul Newman, whose role of a veteran pool shark won for him his only Academy acting award, confirmed in the mind of the public the dubitable nature of pool. You need to develop a skill to play pool and have plenty of light to play it properly. Hence, there is every reason to have a pool table light.

With its newfound respectability, pool is now featured in ESPN and the best players make hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes and more on product endorsements. If you do watch these games played on TV, you certainly noticed that the pool halls are very well lighted, which is similar to indoor basketball game at night.

A pool table light will serve to provide sufficient luminescence for the playing surface, the billiard balls, the cue stick, and everything involved in the game to be visible. They can also create an environment intensifying the playing experience and the surrounding adornments. Because of longstanding prejudices, many conceptualized that an old ceiling light fixture is adequate to illuminate the pool table and everything else on it.

But just liken in any work activity, a focused source of light along with the ambient lighting given off by flush-mount or semi-flush ceiling fixtures are needed. This will illuminate the playing surface better and maybe even improve play. The added balance to the subtle style of the decor is a bonus.

Direct and indirect lighting fixtures are no same matters entirely. When you play the game of pool, this needs utilization of direct luminescence. A blinding spotlight over the pool table is not necessary for this purpose, illumination on the playing surface that does not cause glare or eye strain is what is necessary.

Typical lightings such hanging lamps or pendants are most suitable for pool tables. With the basic design of pool tables being long and narrow, the lights must match the design. A billiard lamp as long as a billiard table is desired, but pool tables usually measuring eight feet long, is not practical. A small light fixture over a pool table light blends well in this part of the game.

Just be sure that the light is at the center over the table. Players want see clearly the corner pockets in this game of angles. Shadows that smaller pool table light fixtures cause affect the outcome of the game, besides producing a gloomy atmosphere that harks back to the seedy period of this sport.

How to Win At Progressive Jackpots

If you have been playing progressive games and losing more than you are winning, then you are justified in asking how to win at progressive jackpots. After all, it is not against the law of man and of nature to try to win big amounts through jackpots. With that said, here are the ways to win progressive jackpots. Just keep in mind that these are suggestions on winning only. Actually winning at progressive jackpots requires a combination of knowledge and of luck, just like in life.

Play the Slot Machines with the Best Payouts

This is a very obvious advice but one that must be emphasized as it is often overlooked by online casino players. You have to search for the slot machines with the biggest and the best payouts to win at progressive jackpots. Well, of course, you have to play the slots themselves to determine which one offers the best payouts. However, if you cannot bet too much of your money on this kind of betting, you can always access the online review sites that find the machines with the best payouts!

Often, too, you will discover through these websites that online casinos offer better payouts than their land-based counterparts. It must be because online casinos have lesser overhead expenses, not to mention that the competition is so tough that better promotions must be made to entice more and more players. Of course, when playing the slot machines with the best payouts, you must also find the online casinos that offer bonus plays.

Play When the Jackpot Is Sufficiently Big

Big is a relative term although a million dollars is definitely big enough. Anyways, to win at progressive jackpots, you must know how slot games work. You will realize that playing when the jackpot is sufficiently big will provide bigger chances of winning it simply because you already have an edge.

An edge means that, in the long run, you can reasonably expect to win money at the slots than what you have poured into them. Indeed, the concept of "overdue" is an outdated one that you must abandon now or abandon all hope of ever winning at progressive jackpots.

Play at Full Coins

This is the most important tip in winning at progressive jackpots. You can and will only win it if you are playing the maximum number of coins! As such, if you plan on being a thrifty gambler, then don't waste your money because you will be significantly lessening your chances at winning this game, probably reducing it to zero. Besides, even if you do win the progressive jackpot by some fluke of fate, you will be shortchanging the game and yourself. And what profitable good is there in that? However, before you play full coins, always remember to read the payout tables. You want to play the machine that will provide the biggest payout with the smallest investment.

On a last note, the ways on how to win at progressive jackpots will start and end on your good financial management. You must learn to walk away if and when your limits for losing and winning have been achieved even when the jackpot seems within your reach. Keep in mind that playing progressive jackpots over and over again is not something you want to do for the rest of your life.

Seahawks Shut Out Rams To Open NFL Season

By Ross Everett

While the St. Louis Rams arent the toughest opponents the NFL can offer, the Seattle Seahawks played well on both offense and defense en route to a 28-0 opening game victory. Jim Mora made a successful debut as Seahawks coach and Matt Hasselbeck played his first regular season game since last Thanksgiving.

The Seahawks easily covered the spread as -7 home favorites. The ATS victory improved the Seahawks to 18-15 against the number in the past three years. The Rams dropped to a dismal 11-22 ATS in the past three years with a 9-20 mark as an underdog. The 28 points scored went UNDER the total of 41.

Mora hadnt been at the helm of an NFL team since he was fired by the Atlanta Falcons in 2006. He is a native of the Jet City and once worked as a visiting locker room attendant for the Seahawks. The homecoming made the victory all the more enjoyable as he recounted afterwards:

"It was especially emotional for me, because there is some significance to it. I'd be lying if I told you there wasn't. It was kind of a surreal experience."

It was also the Seahawks first shutout in over two seasons, while the once high flying Rams were shut out for the first time since 1998. Linebacker Aaron Curry commented after the game that defensive tenacity and toughness are goals for the new look Seattle team:

"The whole offseason, they said our team was soft. We've got to change our image."

The Rams looked to be the same pitiful team that stumbled to a 2-14 record in 2008. It was hardly the debut that rookie head coach Steve Spagnuolo had hoped far as St. Louis gained only 247 yards and 13 first downs. It's never a good sign when players point to personal fouls as a positive, as Steven Jackson did in his postgame interviews:

"Would you rather us just get our tail kicked and walk back to the huddle? You saw some fight in this team."

The Rams looked sloppy and undisciplined throughout, to the point of having their only touchdown of the game negated due to too many men on the field. Clearly, the problems with the St. Louis team run much deeper than coaching.

The schedule wont get any easier for St. Louis, as they hit the road again this week to face the Washington Redskins. The Rams are a +10 road underdog in that contest with the total set at 36. Seattle will also play away from home this Sunday, heading down the coast to meet the resurgent San Francisco 49ers. The Niners are a -1 home favorite with the total set at 39.

3 Reasons to Use Snake Proof Boots

By Harry Benjamin Watts

Snake proof boots are great bits of clothing which can protect your from the strikes of venomous snakes. While Southern turkey hunters are familiar with these important pieces of hunting gear, they have to deal with snake infested swamps. The average person isn't even aware that there is footwear designed specifically to protect your feet from slithering serpents.

Snake boots haven't completely caught on with the mainstream fashion world yet, but hunters and hikers can already attest to their popularity. These particular pieces of footwear come in many different designs, and are great protection against any likely venomous snakes that you will run into.

There are far more than three good reasons that consumers should look at snake boots. But if this article was going to list every single reason, you could end up sitting here and reading all day!

Out of all the reasons to get snake boots, the first one should be obvious. This footwear protects you from snake bites - whether they are rattlers, cottonmouths, coral snakes, or copperheads. If you live in an area with even a few of these slithery little guys, then you might want something extra to keep them away from your ingredient.

The second great reason for consumers to look at wearing snake boots is to financially protect yourself. These specialty boots might be a little more expensive than regular footwear, but look at the alternatives. If you have to go to the emergency room in the United States then you might be surprised to find that the treatment can cost $15,000 to $20,000. And that's the cheap price that you only get if there are no complications, or you can wear the snake boots and avoid them altogether.

A third reasons for wearing snake boots is for the peace of mind. There are literally millions of people who have an outright phobia of snakes, but it's much easier to deal with tall weeds by the river when you know nothing can strike out and hit you. The lower leg protection offers that peace of mind which is worth just as much as the actual protection for many people.

Hopefully this article has pointed out several good reasons for looking at snake boots. These points span a wide range of topics that include the physical, mental, and even the seemingly unlikely financial. When all these arguments are combined, it's pretty obvious that there is a very good case for the viability of wearing snake proof boots for the protection that they provide.

In the end, the decision on whether or not to wear snake boots is up to you. At least with this article you now know that there are some great options in footwear when it comes to defending yourself from snake strikes.

Pedometer Types

By Henry Calhoun

As people have begun to exercise more pedometers have become a very popular gadget. For those not familiar with a pedometer it is simply a tiny gadget whose primary function is to track how far a person walks in any given period of time.

Only the size of a credit card or pager, a pedometer is capable of doing many functions such as keeping track of the distance a person walks. The pedometer can even convert steps into miles, count steps and even tell you how many calories have been burnt off. If you have a more advanced pedometer you will be able to track your progress and it will store data for days or weeks.

The pedometer can even serve you as a motivator by letting you be able to see how much further you have walked or steps taken thus giving you incentive to do more each day. For those who wear the gadget on their body you are always looking for other ways to add to their daily total steps. For example taking the stairs rather than ride the elevator or a walk around the block, after dinner, all add to your daily steps.

Which pedometer you choose be sure it is one to suit your needs or what it is you require it to do. Do you want to convert steps to miles or how many steps you have taken. Perhaps it is how many calories you burnt taking all those steps or all of the above. Another thing to keep in mind is that being expensive does not necessarily mean better.

Once you have purchased a pedometer you and it will need to get used to each other to give the most accurate reading. It may take some practice but you need to find which part of your body it is best to wear it on. It will need to know how long your stride is and the pace in which you walk.

Before you start your exercise regimen the first thing you must do is to consult with your doctor, especially if it has been any length of time since you last exercised. Once you have done that and are now equipped with your new pedometer you need to start out slowly with maybe a few steps or certain distance daily and proceed to do more, as a challenge.

Fortunately, there are many great ways to increase the number of steps taken while wearing a pedometer. When parking, just park further from the entrance than you normally would or during a lunch break walk around the office building. Those are just a couple of examples. One of the best tips is to just take the stairs instead of the elevator whenever you can. If you think about it a bit, you will most likely come up with many more ways of increasing the number of steps taken.

Walking is an inexpensive way to exercise every day. All you need to do is put on a pair of comfortable sneakers, clip your pedometer to your waist or shoe, and start moving. Pedometers though small and inexpensive can be your motivation while you are walking and help you reach your fitness goals. What are you waiting for? Go purchase a pedometer and getting walking today, you'll be so glad you did.

How To Style Amazing Emo Hairstyles Easily

By Toni Moretti

Emo Hairstyles are the latest hot and happening thing in the world of fashion. Earlier considered as the twin face of punk, this style is now considered attractive and has gained wide acceptance among the young and hip-hop. These hairstyles are considered to be not just fashionable but also very ?sexy?. There is a cultural freedom that is on the rise among today?s youngsters which has led to the increased popularity of Emo hairstyles.

An Emo haircut is often asymmetrical and is illustrated by bright and vivid splurges of illuminating highlights on deep colored hair; most people prefer black or deep brunette. The highlights are usually random and can be of a single color tone or a mix of varied shades like cherry red, purple, blue, green, violet or simply white. One of the myths associated with this hair fashion is that it is only for those who have long hair. But this is entirely false; there are plenty of Emo hairstyles for those who sport a short look.

There is no definite meaning to the word ?Emo?. Today?s youth associate this word with a lot of things like music, culture, fashion, appearance and one?s individuality. Emo hairstyles symbolize the uniqueness and distinctive personality of the individual; hence an extensive amount of time is spent in front of the mirror trying to achieve the perfect and desired style. This hair fashion is venerated by those who refused to be stereotyped by society.

There are different types of Emo hairstyles. The short Emo hairstyle is more commonly preferred by males though an increasing number of females now sport this look. It involves short and spiky cuts with real long bangs that fall in a long fringe and is brushed to one side of the face so as to partially or completely cover one eye. This fringe becomes the personal canvas and can be streaked using bright highlights of your choice.

The long Emo haircut is essentially long, shaggy and layered with the bangs falling in a fringe to one side of the face as in short styles. It is more popular to have the fringe brushed to the right side so as to frame the face. Once again, the fringe is highlighted and streaked to convey your personal expression.

It is the Emo bangs that are the true trademark of Emo hairstyles; it is easy to achieve these for those who have natural straight hair. But those with frizzy, curly or wavy hair have to depend on the plethora of hair-styling products that are available these days to tame the hair to achieve these perfect bangs.

You can either go in for a professional cut or give yourself one at home with the help of a friend. To style your hair Emo, use hair sprays or gels that stiffen the hair and allow you to create shag or spikes; do this after shampooing your hair for better results. Blow-dry the hair completely dry once the spikes are shaped and use more gel to maintain the look. Never use a brush or comb once you have set your hair Emo fashion. Use a strong-hold hairspray to hold the style in place. A spray shine can also be used to add brightness and spunk to your hairstyle. Unlike popular belief, Emo hairstyles are not damaging to your hair; over-straightening or over-bleaching is the only way you can cause damage.

Emo hairstyles are for all those who are tired of the boring and conventional haircuts every parlor or saloon offers. Instead, grab a pair of scissors and razor and some bright colored dyes and get the Emo haircut you have always secretly desired. Remember, the fun lies in the creativity so go ahead and play around with colors; after all it is your hair and who you are.

Paul Bear Bryant and The Alabama Crimson Tide

By Brad Childers

Alabama Crimson Tide football is tradition rich with a number of great coaches over the years, and has churned out out some of the most elite athletes that college football has ever seen, but not one compared to the most legendary coach of all time, Paul Bear Bryant .

Paul "Bear" Bryant

Bear Bryant started his career at Alabama as a football player in 1931. He was only 1934 national championship play end. Brian always joked that he was the "other end" that played for "mamma". The other end was the legendary NFL Hall of Famer, Don Hudson. Even bear Bryant's college playing days, he showed mental toughness and playing the 1935 game against Tennessee with a broken leg.

As a head football coach, Bryant went through several college jobs such as Maryland, Kentucky, and Texas A& M before he at long last had the opening to give back to his alma mater, the University of Alabama. So stimulated was Bear Bryant, that he notably was quoted as saying, "Mama called. And when Mama calls, you just have to come runnin'."

It was the year 1958 that Bear Bryant took over the helm , and began leading it to its previous Rose Bowl-style glory but achieved even to greater heights. Producing legendary players like Pat Trammell, Big John Hannah, Snake Stabler, Joe Namath, Lee Roy Jordan, Billy Neighbors, Bob Baumhower, Johnny Musso,, and many others.

Overall, Bear Bryant was a dazzling motivator and knew how to get his players to do what he wanted them to accomplish. Florida A&M coach, Jake Gaither said of Bear Bryant, "He can take his'n and beat you'n, and he can take your'n and beat his'n." The inspiration wasn't just on the turf, the inspiration passed into the world also by the quality he instilled in his players like big John Croyle, who founded the faith-based Christian Big Oak Ranch for unfortunate boys and girls in Springville, Alabama.

The final year that he coached Alabama, 1982, was a down year for Alabama and Bear couldn't see himself coaching Alabama into mediocrity. He always said that if he quit coaching that he "wouldn't last a week." In truth, he didn't last a great deal longer than that, only 37 days. On January 26, 1983, Bryant collapsed and died of a heart attack at age 69 and many mourned his death. Public officials projected that between a half-million to a million individuals were lined along the 53 mile stretch from Tuscaloosa to the graveyard in Birmingham that was only blocks away from Legion Field.

The Legendary Man Changed Alabama and The World

Bear's heritage lives in the players that are now growing older and the fans that recollect his championship heart. Not only that... He helped break segregation in the South's football world, and in doing so, turned the Alabama around from bigotry to magnificence. Not only that, he changed the world to a better place than he left left.. He ain't never been nothing but a winner. Roll Tide!

How I Learned How to Dunk a Basketball

By Ryan Lacioca

I'm about to tell you my story, as I know for a fact that there are loads of you out there who've been through what I have, imagining the day you'd at long last have the ability to throw down a good, powerful dunk on the basketball court.

All that I can tell you is that I was very much like you not too long ago. Everything changed nearly two years back, which I will get to in a second. Before I begin, I'm going to give you a bit background info regarding me. I go by Blake, I am foot 9, and I deem myself a moderately respectable athlete.

During my childhood, basketball was consistently my favorite sport, and I sought zero more than to learn how to dunk. I would see the slam dunk contest on TV every season, play on the Nerf hoop in my bedroom, and if there were any such thing as Youtube back then, I can just about assure you that I would have watched it every, watching highlights as often as possible.

Anyhow, I was on my high school basketball team. I was always a solid player, one of the more skilled players on my squad, however I was always trying to dunk the ball, but couldn't. It was a combination of my short height as well as the reality that my leg muscles (and several additional details that I would later find out about) weren't strong enough, and I had no idea how to dunk a basketball.

I finally let up on learning how to dunk a basketball. It was not the end of the world, however it was kind of disappointing. Hey, at least I was, nonetheless, a good basketball player.

Long story short, a couple years elapsed after high school, and one day I came into contact with an old classmate named James. He was at least two inches shorter than me, and I saw him dunk right before my very eyes. I was literally shocked!

James ended up introducing me to a method that changed the way I see the sport of basketball. I now understand how to dunk...and I can dunk with style.

To Build Muscle You Have to Eat Properly

By Ricardo d Argence

Now that you have decided to bulk up with additional muscle mass you must have a plan that works. Weight training is essential if you want to add muscle to your body. What is not as obvious to most people is the need for correct, healthy eating. It takes healthy nutrition to build the muscles that you want.

The following suggestions will help guide you through the basics of a diet that is designed for muscle building success.

You need to eat regularly if you want to build muscle mass and get stronger. The best plan is for you to switch to 5-7 meals each day. Muscles burn more calories than fat and you need to keep your bigger muscles supplied with the fuel they need so that they can grow even larger and stronger.

If you are not taking on enough calories then you will not be able to build muscle. 5-6 small meals every day will mean that you can take on enough calories without stuffing yourself too much at any single meal.

You should get rid of any junk food that is still a part of your eating habits. Many people have a junk food addiction and it can be hard to break, but this is necessary if you are serious about being able to successfully build muscle size and strength.

Make sure that you increase the amount of water you drink each day. A good way of doing this is to make sure that you have a water bottle handy whenever you go to work or head to the gym. Adequate water is necessary to rid the body of the waste products that body building routines can create. You also need to drink enough water to keep your body from becoming dehydrated during long, strenuous workouts.

Fourthly, split your small meals into the following amounts of fats, carbohydrate and protein. Try to divide them into 30% protein, 50% carbohydrate with the remainder coming from fats.

If you want to be successful when it comes to building additional muscle you must know what foods are best to eat. These are some great foods that will help you bulk up your physical frame.

For protein: turkey, chicken, fish and shellfish, eggs, red meats, dairy products. These are brilliant sources of quality protein so include them in your daily meals as regularly as you can.

Make sure that you are judicious in the use of food products that have higher contents of saturated fats. Egg whites, poultry, certain types of fish, and non-fat dairy items contain protein and are low in saturated fats.

Carbs help you provide your body with energy that is necessary for grueling workouts. Look for whole wheat products, brown rice, oatmeal, pastas, breads and cereals. If you need quick energy you can eat some fresh fruit or try one of the healthy sports drinks with a high carb count.

There is no need to try and target certain fats for your diet, because there is adequate fat in the food choices that are listed. If you eat a well balanced meal the required amount of fat will be included. Do not neglect to include some green and yellow veggies because these are high in vitamins and other nutrients. You might also consider purchasing some of the muscle building supplement products that are currently available. These contain vitamins, protein, creatine and fatty acids that your body needs.

Meals must be timed for maximum effect. If you want to successfully build muscle mass and strength you will need to make sure that you eat before going to bed, within the first hour after a workout and when you first wake up in the morning. If you follow these suggestions that deal with a muscle building diet you should start noticing the difference in your body in a very short period of time.

UFC 92 Flashback: Mir, Evans and Rampage Prevail

By Ross Everett

Two titles changed hands at UFC 92, with Rashad Evans defeating Forrest Griffin by TKO to win the light heavyweight title and Frank Mir knocking out Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira to claim the UFC interim heavyweight title. The event had been dubbed The Ultimate 2008 and every one of the main cards six matches ended via TKO.

While nominally taking subordinate status to the Evans/Griffin main event the most shocking result by far was Frank Mirs second round TKO stoppage of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. Nogueira was the overwhelming favorite coming into the fight and had never been stopped inside the distance during a career where hed faced the best of the best:

Mir, meanwhile, had been on the verge of a full time move to the broadcast booth before his victory over WWE superstar turned MMA fighter Brock Lesnar. The conventional wisdom concerning Mir was that hed never fully recovered from a serious motorcycle accident in 2004 and that he was essentially a shot fighter physically, emotionally and psychologically. He eventually returned to the octagon, and after two TKO losses in his first three comeback fights began to consider the possibility that he just didnt have it any more.

Always a quick witted and highly cerebral fighter, Mir had been very impressive with his commentary work on WEC broadcasts. A highly respected BJJ black belt, his knowledge of submission technique was legendary but in his broadcast role also displayed not only tremendous poise behind the mic but the sort of innate ability to see the fight several moves ahead of the competitors"the same ability displayed by the legendary Bas Rutten in his broadcasting work. When the fight against Brock Lesnar was signed, the perception among most fans was that Mir was a high profile setup for the former WWE champ"a big name on the downside of his career that would be physically overwhelmed by the strength and athleticism of his opponent. The expectation was that after a one-sided loss to Lesnar that Mir would transition into the next phase of his career as a broadcaster.

For the first minute of the fight, it looked like the above scenario was going to play out"Lesnar manhandled Mir from the opening horn, taking him down and landing punishing hammer fists on the ground. That was rendered irrelevant, however, when Lesnar made a rookie mistake and dangled his leg in easy reach of the BJJ blackbelt. Mir locked in a deep knee bar and Lesnar was forced to tap.

There would be no such reprieve against Nogueira, according to many pundits, as he was too experienced and too good of a BJJ player in his own right to give Mir any such opportunities for a fluke submission. Mir entered the UFC 92 fight as decided underdog, meaning that oddsmakers and the betting public agreed that he had little chance to prevail in this matchup.

The fight was certainly one-sided, but it was Mir who was in control throughout. From the opening horn he demonstrated surprisingly sharp striking skills, and knocked Nogueira down twice in the first round. Not expecting a solid standup offense, Nogueira looked downright lost in the later stages of the first round as Mir doubled and tripled up his jab and threw impressive punching combinations to go with low kicks and occasional takedown attempts.

Though Mir appeared in full control of the fight as the second round began, the end would come with startling suddenness and brutality. After a low kick attempt by Nogueira, Mirs counter tagged his opponent and he followed up with a big right hook that sent the Brazilian crashing to the canvas. Herb Dean jumped in to stop the fight almost immediately, awarding Mir an improbable TKO victory at 1:54 seconds of round #2.

In the light heavyweight championship match, Forrest Griffin got off to a good start in his title defense by using his superior height and reach and an impressive array of kicks to keep Rashad Evans just out of range for two full rounds. That changed dramatically in the third, as a flash knockdown by the challenger gave him the opening he needed to mount Griffin and unleash a brutal ground and pound assault. Griffin managed to pull guard and survive for a couple more minutes but it merely delayed the inevitable as Evans ended the fight with another punishing punching attack.

The most highly anticipated match on the undercard also featured a lopsided TKO finish as Quinton Rampage Jackson dominated Wanderlei Silva in the third fight between the two men.

Hairstyling and Hair Design Techniques and Overview

By Toni Moretti

Basic hairstyling and hair design can be as simple or as complicated as you make it. Even something as simple as putting your hair up into a pony tail can leave many options open. Should you put all of your hair up, should you pull hair down in the front to frame your face, and at what section should you tie the hair at?

If you have elected to leave your hair down for the day, you have many options taking this avenue as well. You could just let it air dry, however this tends to leave your hair looking a bit unmanaged. To avoid this, you should at least blow dry your hair after it has air dried for some time. After your hair has been dried, you may choose to straighten it. There are many brands of flattening irons and some do work better than others. To straighten your hair, just slide the iron from the top to the bottom. One may also curl their hair using a straightening iron by wrapping small strands around the barrel of the straightener. There is also the old fashion way of making your hair curly, which involves a curling iron. To use this tool, you should wrap small strands around the barrel and hold for a few seconds on each curl. Many companies have also come out with small curlers that one can heat up and then roll their hair. This requires less work and less time than a normal curling iron.

After basic hairstyling is decided, you may then move on to deciding on a design. This may be the cut of your hair, whether long, short, or medium and also whether you would like to have your hair layers, bangs or no bangs, shorter in the front or the back, and many other options that are available to you. There are many good resources for choosing a new hair design in magazines and books available at most hairdressers, beauty stores and drug stores.

Another part of design is the color of your hair. You may choose highlights, which are usually lighter over a darker under color, or highlights in addition to low lights, which will have many different colors throughout your hair giving it more definition. Some may choose to have two entirely different colors, such as a very light blonde on top of a dark color such as black, which can be very original and a way to truly define yourself and your hair.

Basic hair styling and hair design can set you apart from the crowd or make you one of the many. Spend time on your hair each day, take time to pick out your styles and designs, and be proud of your time spent.
