Games to Play at a Tea Party

By Patricia Lynn

Tea parties are making a comeback, and what is a party without games? Here are some games that are sure to bring giggles from all of your lovely guests.

The first game is called Teacup Swap. Any number of people can play Teacup Swap and everyone is a winner! To play, each person needs a teacup and saucer. Let guests know in your invitation that they need to bring a teacup and saucer or you can provide one for each person if your party budget allows it.

When your guests arrive, have them place their teacups at their place setting or have them already arranged there if you are providing them.

Invite all of your guests to admire each teacup and saucer set by walking around the table. When everyone has finished looking, ask the first guest to arrive to be the first to choose a teacup.

Continue in the order in which the guests arrived, or you can go in age order, or have numbers drawn from a hat.

It is lots of fun if you keep the fact that they will be trading teacups a secret. Just make sure that those bringing their own know that they should make sure they bring a teacup that they don't mind giving away.

Teacup Swap is lots of fun because each person gets to keep the teacup and saucer set of their choice!

The second game you are about to learn is called Tea Tasting. This is a great game to play with smaller groups. Make sure that you have several teapots handy, and a little trinket to give away for a prize.

Find a few different teas and prepare each in a separate teapot.

Serve a small sampling of a tea to your each of your guests and let them try to guess what kind of tea it is.

When everyone has tasted and guessed each flavor, give the best guesser a small prize.

Writing down which tea is in which pot is a good idea, just in case you forget.

Try buying different herbal teas that have distinct flavors for those at the party that do not normally drink tea.

If you have a mixed tea flavor, make sure it is one that is well known. A strange, unfamiliar flavor combo with be confusing to your guests. The easier this game is the better, so stick to what they know for the most part.

These teas should be familiar to your guests and have contrasting flavors:

Peppermint

Rose Hip

Orange Zest

Green Tea

Lavender

Chai

Chamomile

Ginger

Raspberry

A tea party is not complete without a lovely and fancy hat. This game doubles as a favor, since your guests will get to take home their hat!

You will probably need materials, and a dollar store or a craft store clearance sale will probably carry everything you need.

Don't worry too much about finding the perfect craft supplies. Your guests are sure to get creative with whatever you supply.

If you need some hints on what to buy, here are some ideas:

Silk flowers

Ribbons

Lace

Buttons

Beads

Thread

Bells

Fabric

1' x 1' pieces of organza or tulle work wonderfully. They bunch up well and are lightweight.

You will need several hot glue guns if you have them available. Ask around before the party.

No hot glue guns? Not to worry. Just buy some quick drying craft glue while you are at the craft store.

When everyone has finished, award a prize to the best hat. Or let everyone win by awarding a funniest hat prize, a prettiest hat prize, the biggest hat prize, etc. - 29943

Amazing Magic Tricks With Cards

By Kristopher Luther

You have seen them tons of times, but have you marvelled the way in which the wizard did the trick? The following are the most simple and doubtless the most used beginning magic tricks with cards ever preformed.The first of the magic tricks with cards is the proven "Find the Card." the single thing required is a deck of cards and good acting skills. To start this trick say the old order, "Pick a Card, Any Card." Then having a volunteer select a card which you then "pretend" to lose it among the remainder of the deck. This is the card that you find magically later.

The genuine trick to this newb card trick is recalling where another card is and you inserting the selected card by the memorized card. So when you have the volunteer place the card in the card deck, you must ensure, the deck when you split it, is where the memorized card is. So when you go to tug the selected card all you need to do is keep an eye on the memorized card. This following is one out of many easy sorcery tricks is known as "The 4 Acres." This is fun one to learn ; it requires a bit of practice but is worthwhile. This one you want to begin with the 4 aces on top of the deck. Then while the gang is watching shuffle the deck but you must ensure that the "aces stay on top."

Have an affiliate of the fans come cut the deck 4 times beginning from the right; ensure that the quarter the aces are in is on the right. Then have the person take the 3 cards from the pinnacle of the pile that's on the left and place them on the bottom. Then take the 3 cards from the apex of the pile, place one on each one of the remaining piles. Have the person do it over again with the leftover three piles then have them turn OTT card of all 4 piles. They should all be the aces.

The next magic tricks with cards calls for ruining a good deck of cards but it is a good one. It is called "4 10s into 4 aces" To prepare for this trick, you need to start out with removing the tens along with the aces. Taking the 10 and ace of hearts and glue them together back to back with a glue stick (no glue bubbles.) This is the "full card." Taking the other three Aces, cut them diagonally, leave the 10's in one piece. Taking a part of each ace and match it with it's 10 glue them together. Then you are ready.

To start the tricks display the prepared cards so that the cards overlap and only the 10's show. Be sure that the full card is the card that everyone sees as "the end of the fours cards." Then you just collapse the cards down to a single deck. Meanwhile distract the audience with acting as though you are doing magic to do the change. Meanwhile maneuver the "full card and flip it over" make sure that the card stay in the correct spot. Do not forget to rotate the cards so the Aces now show when you show the audience that you changed the 10's into 4 aces.

These three magic tricks with cards are simple cards tricks that anyone can learn. It just takes time, practice, and great acting skills to pull them off. It is recommended while practicing to do so in front of a mirror to see how you are progressing with your slight of hand. - 29943

Free Movies Free Online

By Jacquee Horne

Can't get enough of movies? Want more and more but don't want to spend so much on purchasing a dvd? Missed a movie in the movie hall? Want to watch free movies? I will tell you how to watch free movies all from the comfort of your home. All you need is a computer with an Internet connection to get started.

Log online and choose one of three options - streaming sites, download movies sites or paid movie sites. There are numerous sites offering these options. The difficult part is going to be finding a site that works for you.

Online streaming sites are good for beginners. They are free and can be viewed on the Internet browser directly, saving the hard disk space. The picture quality and sound clarity is not that great though because often these movies are submitted by visitors to the site. Some of them have whole segments or scenes clipped off leaving you extremely dis-satisfied. The time taken for uploading can leave you irritated because it is frequently interrupted by pop up ads, surveys, spam etc which need to be taken in order to watch the movie.

Downloading movies sites require Torrence files only which can later be opened only in Torrence download programs. The download speed is a lot better as well as the quality. But, there is no telling if you are downloading viruses along with the movie which could destroy your hard drive. One movie download could take up to 1.5GB hard drive space.

Paid movie sites have the best quality in terms of audio and video. In fact the quality is so good that you could actually play these movies as HDTV on your TV and enjoy a movie hall like experience if you have a good surround system. The downloading time is quite fast. There is no virus threat at all.

A good idea is to research for good sites and read up reviews before making a choice. You can not only discover movies in every genre form the latest to the oldest but will also find TV shows and documentaries as well. Keep the pop corn bowl handy and have your favourite comfortable chair reserved for marathon watching. - 29943

Polynesian Tattoo Designs - Find Your Ideal Design

By Scott Hastings

Thousands of tattoo designs are available on websites and in catalogues waiting to be selected. Tattoos are growing in popularity with Polynesian tattoo designs seeing the greatest increase in inking.

You need to understand that there are two distinct styles when it comes to Polynesian tattoo designs. The first of these is known as Etua. A spiritual and religious significance is tied to the Etua. Some symbols are said to be magic and will keep one safe from the wrath of the gods.

The type of design known as Enata can be thought of as characterizing a person with their identity and status. This includes their social level, island of origin, occupation and history.

Below you will find a list of Polynesian tattoo designs and their respective meanings.

Shark teeth: This tattoo means to protect. Firstly, shark teeth are symbolic of protection.

Turtle Designs - Turtles are used to symbolize lengthy lifespans and fertile natures.

Shells - Shells are a symbol of prosperity to the Polynesian people and it is possible that they were used as the earliest form of currency.

Sharks designs are a symbol that is very sacred. In Polynesia shark tattoos are considered to offer safety in the face of threats.

Gecko - People believe that geckos have supernatural powers and are feared but are also liked by the Polynesians. One type of superstition is that a green gecko laughing will bring bad luck and poor health.

Tiki - The god Tiki is often shown with eyes closed. Tiki smells trouble prior to its arrival, and that is the main reason.

The Polynesian island inhabitants are wide spread. Their cultures include popular places are Samoa, Cook Islands, Easter Island, Tahiti, French Polynesia, Tonga, as well as Hawaii. Over thousands of years, the people across these islands developed their own distinct cultures.

It is quite interesting to recognize the similarities between cultures in the art of tattoo designs. In this day and age, Polynesian tattoo designs do not have the same significance because people love them for the design rather than magical protection or a statement of status.

Understanding LED Television Technology

By Wayne Torres

Flat screen televisions have not taken too long to be the accepted as normal in many of our houses. The battle has gone on for several years between LCD and plasma televisions, with LCD coming out on top due to their longer life span and more affordable prices. However, the days of the LCD may well be numbered, with the latest generation being released through the new LED television.

Cynics out there, (of which I am a fully paid up member of the club), will snort at such an announcement and claim it is nothing more than a money making exercise. And whilst this holds some water; the technology in an LED television is a step in the right direction, so should not be dismissed too readily.

In essence, an LED television is just the same as the LCD that is probably sitting in your lounge right now. The difference is regards how the light emitting diodes, (LED), send the light to the screen. This is of course very complex, but in layman terms relies on backlit or sidelit, (edge), technology.

Having the lights set up in this way allows for greater control of the picture; lights can be dimmed and brightened independently of their neighbours; creating a richer content and feel and most important of all, creating true image black scale; they key to picture quality.

Whilst the benefits are far reaching with LED television technology being able to produce better quality images with high brightness and contrast levels, the benefits do not stop here. This better quality image is produced using less power and creating less light and heat wastage. This of course also allows the lifespan to be much longer than even the most robust of LCD TV currently on the market.

The depth of the TVs is also thinner than what is presently available. Amazing as this may sound, it is quite true. The depth of LCD and plasmas are presently given in inches, an LED television will be measured in millimetres; with somewhere around 9 or 10 being the standard, though screens of just 6mm are available now.

Okay, this all sounds excellent but of course, it isn't all good news. Whilst no limitations exist to the operation of an LED television, there is a limitation regards affordability. It is really no different to the large prices that LCD and most particularly plasmas were tagged with though.

The benefits then are quite significant with this new technology; better pictures, better lighting; better control, and all whilst having a positive impact on the environment. Indeed, the only downside remains the price.

However, as with any new concept, the price will be high initially, to pay for investment that the manufactures have had to spend on research and development. The price of an LED television may be out of the reach of many for the time being, but over the next few years this will come down to realistic levels. Just in time for the next advance probably! - 29943

Secrets Of How To Instantly Astral Project

By David Groomes

Each and every person in the world can astral project. In fact, many of us do so, although we might not know that this is what we're doing. The ability to consciously astral project and be in control of the experience can be learned with practice.

You probably already know about the astral body and the astral plane, so we'll jump right into techniques which can assist you in your efforts to learn how to astral project. Different people do better using different methods, so you'll probably want to try out a few until you hit on one which gets good results for you.

There's one technique which you can practice as you're lying in bed about to go to sleep. There are five steps to this method.

*First; relax your body completely, trying to achieve a state of deep relaxation throughout your body. While you're lying there, tense and then release all of your muscles, starting from your toes and working your way towards your head. You may start feeling very heavy; this is natural and indicates deep physical relaxation.

*Second; Focus on your breathing. Take deep, slow breaths and concentrate on the feeling of the air filling your lungs. Exhale slowly, visualizing your tension and stress leaving your body each time you exhale.

*Third; Concentrate on the feeling of your body's total relaxation. Think of it as a stone or a lump of earth; something which is heavy and immobile. Now refocus your attention to your astral body; think about how light it feels, weightless in fact. Close your eyes and visualize your astral body floating away on the breeze.

*Fourth ; Right now, you may experience what many people do while practicing this technique; the sensation of seeing around in your darkened room, even with your eyes closed. The room will appear to be illuminated by a purple light. If you experience this, try to focus on the ceiling.

*Fifth; Try to visualize pulling this light to your astral body. You'll feel like you're floating; this is your astral body floating above your physical body. Just look down and you'll be able to see your bed with your physical body at rest below.

If you've been able to make it through all of these steps, you've done it! You can now depart on astral travels. If you can't astral project this way, there's another method which you can try.

This is called the gazing method and is used by many when learning how to astral project. It's a very simple method where you focus your complete attention on an object. This can be anything as long as its within your line of sight while you lie in bed.

Gaze at this object and stay focused on it. Eventually, your eyelids will become too heavy to keep open; but if you've succeeded you'll still be able to see this object in front of you. Continue to gaze at it until you feel an urge to stand up. When you do, you'll see your physical body lying in bed asleep! Don't be alarmed; this means you've succeeded and can begin to astral travel.

If these techniques don't work for you right away, don't become discouraged. You may need to practice for a while before you can successfully astral project. Persistence is key.

It's less important how you do it as that you are able to get the message to your subconscious mind that there's nothing to fear about astral projection and that it's perfectly fine for your astral body to leave the physical realm and travel. One good way to communicate with your subconscious is to repeat affirmations to yourself.

Plenty of techniques can help you learn how to astral travel; you'll find the right one for you with a little practice and possibly some trial and error.

Hypnosis, especially guided hypnosis works for many; having an expert there to explain everything and tell you exactly what you need to do can be extremely helpful.

New audio technologies called binaural beats can also help you learn to astral project. These specially designed recordings consist of slightly different frequencies played into each ear. The effect of these recordings is to place the listener into the meditative, deeply relaxed state where astral projection comes naturally.

Learning to astral project isn't as hard as you might think. It's a capacity which all of us have inherently. It's just a matter of practicing and fine tuning it. After all, you were born with the ability to learn to ride a bicycle, though you had to practice it. Learning to astral project is much the same; it's just learning to use the abilities you already possess. - 29943

Bluetooth Head Phones - How To Choose The Best Bluetooth Headphones

By Thomas Singelin

The technology used in bluetooth head phones is fairly new though proven. With this technology, you will no longer be bound to a fix sound output source and after you try it you will not wish to go without. In addition, this cable-free system will make the headphones lighter and less bulky.

For those who have been sitting on the technological sidelines these last few years, Blue tooth was developed as a way to send data in a wireless fashion. They can transfer data of most any kind including music and cell phone conversations through an assigned radio frequency band. At present, they operate in the 2. 4 GHz range.

Because there was a need to design digital wireless protocols and standards for such technology, Blue tooth was developed to let multiple digital devices to talk and transfer data between devices without having to experience any sort of synchronization issue that might have prevented that same synchronization in the past. Devices that are Blue tooth-enabled will attempt to synchronize with each other, if allowed, within a range up to 100 meters (328 feet) from each other, depending on the strength of the radio wave.

Just like every other device equipped with Blue tooth, these headphones work on the exact same principles. They send and receive data at around 720 Kbps within a range of between 10 to 100 meters. And as they've become more prevalent their prices have decreased accordingly. This is especially so for devices like headphones that are equipped with Blue tooth capabilities.

A Blue tooth-equipped audio output source can match up with a Blue tooth headphone very seamlessly and will deliver a quality listening experience, all the while freeing up a person from having to worry about getting tangled up with wires or bulky and expensive headphones of the wireless variety. Generally, most such quality Bluetooth head phones can be had for between 30 and 100 dollars.

It's a good idea to sign onto the web and do a bit of looking around about Bluetooth head phones. This will let you get a sense of just which maker and size and sort of Blue tooth unit will meet the most sense for the budget and for the sound quality that's preferred. What's for certain is that there are a lot of such headphones out there.

Remember, with Blue tooth sort units such as these you might be getting what you pay for in terms of the quality of the sound that's delivered. Therefore, it might be a good idea to spend just a little bit more if robustness and sound quality is really what's most important. - 29943

How to Selecting a Wedding Photographer

By Paige Monserai

If you're looking forward to your wedding soon, you'll probably be doing a lot of planning. Don't forget to hire the photographer. You might think you can just ask someone in the family to take some snapshots, but there's a huge difference in quality between professional photos and amateur ones.

Of course, before you hire your wedding photographer, you need to know what to look for. A good photographer should believe that everyone is beautiful and that every wedding is important. Beware companies that treat your wedding like just another job - they won't offer the personal treatment you really deserve.

A good wedding photographer sees your ceremony and reception as an exciting opportunity. After all it gives them the chance to capture the important moments of your big day. Weddings are extremely important, and you and your fiance, as well as your family and friends, are commemorating the commitment that's going to change your entire life.

That's why you need to pick a photographer who really knows what they're doing and is has the training to work on your wedding. This person should be able to understand any kind of wedding, from contemporary to themed to traditional ceremonies. A good photographer takes the time to understand what you want out of your wedding and your pictures, and will help you get it.

Everyone should be able to be themselves in their wedding pictures, from the bridge and groom to the guests. There are far too many examples of stiff, unnatural wedding photography out there. You don't want your wedding pictures to join them!

Your wedding photographer needs to have high quality equipment that allows for taking detailed, high quality images, and he or she needs to know just how to use it. Retouching shouldn't be the solution to all photographic problems. There's nothing wrong with a little, but it should be done carefully, on an image that's already beautiful.

Remember to look for extras, including easy payment methods, album planning and photo planning consultations, and more. Consider having a couple's portrait session before the big day - that'll let you get to know your photographer and help your photographer understand your unique personality. You'll get some truly memorable images out of the session.

It shouldn't take too long to get a look at your proofs, and then be able to plan your album. The album should arrive in a month or two, though some photographers will rush album production for an extra fee. However, this isn't a good idea unless you really need it quickly - a good album is worth waiting for.

High quality wedding photos serve to remind you all those great wedding day memories. If you're willing to take the time to make sure that yours are beautiful, you'll have the wedding pictures you've always wanted. - 29943

OLED Displays

By Jean Bowie

OLED televisions are possibly the next generation televisions heading our way. Recent times have seen the home cinema experience revolutionized firstly by plasma and LCD TVs. The hot technology of the moment is LED television. But what is next in the pipeline, well Sony's next generation display is the OLED television.

With the advances of the viewing experience given to us by LCD and plasmas displays it is hard to perceive that the market could be revolutionized by the emergence on OLED displays, but the benefits that come along with OLED displays are set to do just that. With super light and thin displays that are flexible whilst maintaining their crystal clear definition, the improvements are astounding.

Unlike conventional LCD TVs OLED TVs do not require to be back lit in any way, contributing to the fact that that they use up a fraction of the electricity that LCD and plasma sets use. They also have a plethora of new features that make them a must have piece of kit. It sounds too good to be true with all these benefits, so how is it possible? This leap has been made possible by the use of new technologies; the screen is made up of an organic layer of transistor forming the grid that makes up the crystal clear pictures whilst remaining only millimetres thick. And because the display is made up organic materials they are eco friendly too.

With Sony leading the way followed by Samsung this new technology does not just belong in the world of home entertainment but computing also. This brings possibilities for OLED displays into the business world for use in displays and monitors, with the impressive images and benefits from being super thin and light (with an OLED monitor measuring only 10 mm thick) being applicable to the workplace, the potential is massive.

The pace at which the television and display industry is travelling is astonishing, with LCD and plasma already producing high definition affordable quality displays for home and work. But advances in OLED pictures is set to astound, with Sony entering the market beginning with its smaller displays as would be expected. But at the pace developments are moving it won't be long before big screen televisions and displays enter the market, along with other manufacturers.

The light produced by the OLED televisions is actually organic. To be more technical there are organic light emitting diodes that produce the picture with highly announced quality. This comes to show you what OLED stands for. Play movies and view your home desktop at far better quality then the already amazing LED televisions. That's right you are even able to sync your computer with your television very easily. Simply connect it through a special cable that you can pick up at the local Radio Shack. This is the main thing Sony is trying to capture. They want the computer industry to flourish with these new televisions.

As for the immediate future of LED TVs and displays, we should expect to see the first Sony produced displays appearing with Samsung shortly afterwards. The first displays produced will be 13 inches in size, but this is surely the start for what is potentially a new expanding market with larger improved sets set to follow in the very near future. - 29943

Noise Cancellation Headset- Choosing The Right Noise Cancellation Headset

By Thomas Singelin

If you are looking for a high-quality noise cancellation headset, there are few things you have to be aware of. Firstly, if you do not know anything about headsets, you must understand that you need a noise cancellation headset for numerous different kinds of situations. For example, a headset designed for using with a PC or electronic devices may not serve for hearing protection

Many of the cheaper models of headsets just do not live up to what is certain the packaging. You need to purchase something that is high quality, especially if you're going to use it in a busy office atmosphere. You need to be able to have a microphone which completely blocks out or at least minimizes only background noise. Despite of what you need a microphone for, having one which cancels any background noises best as possible is essential in almost all scenarios. This is especially true if you're using things such as speech recognition, which can be very sensitive to any background noise.

For instance, if you are in a busy workplace where there is plenty of background noise, trying to work with the normal head set can be an extremely annoying experience if the person on the other end of the line is not be able to hear you correctly. In order to get over the frustrating issue of excessive background noise, the noise cancellation headset can help by filtering out any background interference such as the noise of people talking, air conditioning or anything else. This allows you to work in a busy atmosphere and still maximize productivity.

Noise cancellation headsets work not only to provide a quieter environment in which to work, the newer models are crucial to access features in newer computers for speech recognition software. This is a great accessory use for a busy office worker.

Without a high-quality noise cancellation headset, the high volume office setting would not be able to avail of the newest speech recognition technology. The volume of background noise would tend to make speech recognition software inaccurate unless noise cancelling head sets and microphones are available.

Service center reps rely heavily on noise cancellation headsets to carry on calls with clients. It can be very frustrating experience for the person that you are phoning for instance, if they cannot hear you due to background noise. Similarly, a work at home mom or dad may also benefit from a noise canceling headset that can attach to your phone or PC to cut down on obvious background noises.

There are several noise canceling options available such a standalone microphones which sit on the desktop, but these are usually not suited to busier situations. If you want to get something that is more fully featured, a noise cancellation headset that incorporates a microphone is the best way to go. You could also go for a wireless Bluetooth had set which you should also be able to use with a mobile telephone which has Bluetooth. - 29943

Lukas, an innovative businessman, makes an attempt at achieving some degree of legitimacy by trying to become a big civil supporter in Manhatten, while Ritchie Roberts, a street wise outcast cop, played by Russell Crowe, picks up on a large shift in the drug world's leadership. Trupo, Josh Brolin is a crooked detective who uses every trick in the book to try to force Roberts, an idealist, to abandon his values.

UFC 92 Flashback: Mir, Evans and Rampage Prevail

By Ross Everett

UFC 92 was a high impact affair, 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: Fedor Emelianenko (three times), Josh Barnett (twice), Semmy Schilt and Mirko Cro Cop among many others. In the matchup to fill the Interim UFC title vacated by Randy Couture, Nogueira had absorbed a punching barrage from Tim Sylvia before gaining a submission victory.

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.

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. Even with the submission victory, however, the perception was that Mir had gotten lucky when Lesnar made a rookie mistake.

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 a +305 wagering underdog, meaning that oddsmakers and the betting public agreed that he had little chance to prevail in this matchup against a highly experienced veteran that had never been stopped inside the distance.

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.

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.

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.

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. It was Jacksons first fight since his well publicized hit and run incident in Orange County, California and he looked very sharp throughout before bringing the contest to a close with a perfectly placed left hook to the cheekbone. Silva immediately collapsed to the canvas and the referee started to step in before he hit the ground. - 29943

Humorous Lost Spoof

By J. D Theis

A simple parody on lost lasts on an average between five minutes to seven minutes but have you ever thought about the level of genius that works behind creating a lost parody?? Kudos to the fine brothers for coming up with one hilarious lost parody after another for over three years now.

This concept gained so much popularity that the ABC guys could not resist this act and complemented the Fine Brothers. They did not try to take any chances and create a spoof of their best ever in house production. Where as they used the concept of lost and tried to come over the Fine Brother for creating the parody on lost. ABC launched Lost Untangled, a series which showed the past events that took place in the earlier season of Lost. This gave a boost to the new followers as they could catch up with the past events and get complete knowledge.

Coming to the element of genius and innovative thinking contained in a typical parody on lost, it is certain that the makers are an ardent followers of not only lost, but also the show and the series with they create a spoof on it. for instance, the star trek parody had me in splits with Zachary Quinto aka spock of star trek visiting the enchanted island but in costumes of Sylar, on of the gifted hero of the heroes, the famous saga of the people with mysterious powers and how their combined forces are bent upon saving the earth.

So basically when Sulu saw him, she couldn't be sure if it's Spock or not and Spock ended up muttering "same actor wrong toy"(and wrong show indeed: D). this is just an example of how witty and hilarious a lost parody can get. The beginning itself of this particular parody on lost was "this is Lost with star trek and time travel, it needs no logic!", so one is torn between deciding if it was a lost parody or a parody on star trek.

To get the complete coverage of lost parody you can log on to www.lost-tv-show.com and check out the latest happenings in the parody on lost and enjoy the magic. All the episodes of the lost parody are available in high-definition so, that you can enjoy parody on lost in high quality sound and picture. - 29943
