			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A 100% pure essential oil is a liquid that is most frequently distilled with steam or water from the stems, leaves, bark, roots, flowers, and/or other properties of plants. It does not really feel oily to the touch, despite its name, and is more often than not clear. It has been used for hundreds of years and has proven to be beneficial in several areas associated with the physiology of the human body.</p>
<p>Pure essential oils have to be measured carefully in drops. They are the pure essence of the plant, and a little is all you need. This makes essential oils very reasonable for health or cosmetic use as well. Traditional cosmetics come from the formulary with stabilizers, emulsifiers, and preservatives, any of which may tend to irritate sensitive skin or dull hair. Essential oil, on the other hand, has only one ingredient so if you are not oversensitive to that ingredient you will have no allergic reaction.</p>
<p>There are a lot of great cosmetics on the market for a variety of purposes, including lotions, perfumes, astringents, antiseptics, and hair care products. Though these products smell nice, they do not provide the same experience as aromatherapy with essential oils. Inhalation of eucalyptus oil clears the lungs and sinuses. Basil helps headaches. Rosemary in the hair will keep it soft and silky as well as providing a pleasant fragrance that will enhance the mood. Some oils, like neroli, can be applied directly to the skin or even eaten! Pure neroli oil can be enjoyed as aromatherapy by dripping gently on to vanilla ice cream and eating. Be sure to use a pure neroli oil and not one with a mixed carrier oil.</p>
<p>Aromatherapy involves a vapor of the essential oil being inhaled, coating your lungs and sinuses, and benefiting you depending on the choice of oil. Some oils have proven physiological benefits and are accepted in modern medicine and employed for a variety of uses. Some oils may have benefits that are as of yet unproven, either good or bad. Our advice to the readers is to always be cautious but definately enjoy the benefits of the oils. Watch some videos or read a few articles so you know what you are using and how and why.</p>
<p>Essential oils mixed with carrier oils are often used in massage. Some oils fight inflammation, others reduce pain, and many of them kill germs and fungus. Application of oils that kill germs and fungus and ease pain and inflammation are naturally very good for athletes. Some of the oils are said to help regenerate skin cells, however this is purely anecdotal and has not been clinically investigated by the FDA.</p>
<p>Pure essential oils can impact the physiology of the body either directly or indirectly. Different essences often focus on different concerns. For example, peppermint can be taken orally and helps aid digestion. Mucolytic oils, on the other hand, are usually inhaled and help with respiratory problems. The majority of scents, however, are designed to directly affect the brain and nervous system.</p>
<p>Most aromatherapy oils today are for lifting peoples spirits or exert a calming effect. For example, peppermint and neroli are natural sedatives providing a calming effect. Marjoram and clove are activating and stimulating. For real exhileration try some nutmeg or clary sage.</p>
<p>For health conscious women, essential oils are very beneficial for several cosmetic and beauty uses. Because they are natural and there is only one ingredient, there may be less to irritate you. Because the oils tend to put the user in a good mood, the body produces endorphins, which are chemicals that your body produces which make you feel good and stimulates healing and regeneration and enhanced immune function.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Renato Babalu Sobral defeated Bobby Southworth by TKO to become Strikeforce light heavyweight champion at the 'Destruction' card. Despite leaving with the belt around his waist, it wont be the centerpiece of Babalu's highlight reel with the way it transpired.</p>
<p>A -350 wagering favorite despite his challenger status, Sobral was expected to use his world class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills and vast experience against superior competition to dominate the tough but limited Southworth. It didn't happen that way, as Southworth easily got the better of things in the first round. Southworth looks to use his strength and conditioning to control his opponent en route to a decision victory. While the result makes him something of a MMA equivalent to boxing's John Ruiz, it does afford him the best chance of victory.</p>
<p>The first round displayed Southworth's style in microcosm, with much of the frame spent pushing Babalu up against the cage or on the ground inside his guard not really doing much. Sobral had one effective strike the entire round"and it would decide the fight. During a clinch against the cage wall the challenger rocked Southworth with a hard elbow strike that not only busted his nose but opened a huge cut over his right eye.</p>
<p>Upon seeing the gusher of blood Referee John McCarthy brought the ringside physician over to take a look. The doctor took some time to examine the cut, but eventually the round resumed following the consultation with only a few seconds remaining. As Southworth's corner futilely worked on the gaping wound during the break the doctor once again took a look and better realizing the severity and placement of the cut recommended to McCarthy that the fight be stopped. The veteran official complied, awarding Sobral the TKO victory and the championship belt.</p>
<p>The other half of the co-main event was decided in much more decisive fashion as Scott Smith knocked out well traveled veteran Terry Martin in a mere :24 seconds. Unfortunately, Martin didn't adequately close the distance against a fighter dubbed 'Hands of Steel' and was caught with a perfectly placed punch that knocked him out cold.</p>
<p>In the semifinal event, Duane 'Bang' Ludwig defeated Yves Edwards by unanimous decision in a very closely contested bout. Edwards was originally slated to face lightweight champion Josh Thomson until a toe injury necessitated his withdrawal. Ludwig took the fight on two weeks notice, and after a takedown clinic by Edwards in the first began to control the fight with his superior standup skills. Edwards' superiority on the ground in the first two frames wasn't enough to sway the judges who obviously favored Ludwig's more effective striking.</p>
<p>Earlier in the evening, Kim Couture made short work of overmatched Lina Kvokov as she TKOd her foe in 1:44 of the first round. Couture, the wife of UFC legend Randy Couture, gained even more notoriety for the courage she displayed in her professional debut last June. She had a much easier time here--despite the fact that both fighters entered with 0-1 records Couture was significantly more polished as she put Kvokov on the defensive from the outset with her sharp punching combinations. She recovered momentarily and survived the initial onslaught. The reprieve was only temporary, however, as Couture launched another barrage of punches prompting the referee to step in and wave off the non-competitive affair.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many individuals love the freedom of riding a motorcycle as well as the cost-effective price it offers, particularly now with fuel costs at an all time high. However , a few people just are not cosy operating a bike. A great alternative is to pick an electric scooter. They're also extraordinarily economically as well as easy to operate. This is a great choice for riding in town. I know many parents who compromise purchasing their teenager a scooter instead of a real motorbike. Scooters also cost less than a motorbike.</p>
<p>Safety is still a requirement while operating an electric scooter. It is important that you wear a helmet as well as long sleeved shirts and pants to prevent road rash. You also have to follow the rules of the road. Too many have the misconception that a scooter can be operated like a cycle instead of a automobile on the road. In many states you have got to obtain a motorbike license to legally operate one on the street. Kids must be the legal age to drive one as decided by their state laws.</p>
<p>Dependent on the sort of electrical scooter you buy, you can predict spending from $200 to $1,000. The prices are reasonable, so that your time finding one that fits you completely. There are many styles and colors available from a spread of manufacturers. Many women love operating a scooter versus a bike thanks to the weight difference.</p>
<p>You may also find scooters that feature a stand up or a sit down design. The younger youngsters definitely appear to favor the stand up type but it definitely isn't going to be cushty when you're on it for a length of time. You also won't have the space for storing if you want to hold anything with you.</p>
<p>Most electric scooters need very little maintenence, further adding to your transportation savings. In most situations you will be able to do the basic upkeep and even repairs on your own. You could be considering how eco-friendly an electrical scooter is. While the specific savings will change by model, many of them can get sixty MPG of fuel.</p>
<p>Since electric scooters don't take up much space and they're light weight, may university youngsters wish to use one rather than a car. They even ride it around campus and secure it on the bike rack. A lot of them can get up to 30 mph so a quick journey to the town or the grocery store is even possible with one.</p>
<p>Next, get to know some pieces you will really want to find out about <a href="http://www.razorscooterpro.com/razor-pocket-mod-scooter/">Razor Pocket Mod range of scooters</a> from the <a href="http://www.razorscooterpro.com">Razor Range Of Scooters</a> blog.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The vision of YogaFit is to deliver Yoga to the masses. America is suffering from obesity and lack of exercise.

<p>We all think that if most people within the world offered one hour per week of community service work, the planet would certainly be a greater place.

Our Students have helped bring the process and benefits of Yoga to seniors in long term care homes, stressed-out business professionals, cancer patients and survivors, disabled persons, incarcerated persons, terminally ill persons, children, psychologically challenged individuals and army servants, just to name a few.</p>
<p>The Community Service Program gives our Trainees the means to practice their new coaching skills in a less stressful environment by having an appreciative audience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Roller Derby has been around for years and was a staple of the early days of television. It was similar to its better known counterpart, pro wrestling and was seen on many of the same low powered UHF stations in the same bad timeslots. It had a similar borderline sleazy group of promoters and businessman that was common in the regional territory era of pro wrestling. Roller derby didn't have the success or popularity that pro wrestling did. There was a serious athletic component to be sure, but the dim witted storylines made pro wrestling look like Shakespeare. The sport does have its own history--most know that the LA T-Birds were the perennial champions of'70's, and Ann Calvello and Ralphie Valladares had been in the sport forever and were considered legends--but it never really stuck in the public consciousness like the pre-Hulk Hogan era of pro wrestling.</p>
<p>When the original purveyors of the sport quit promoting in the early'80s most thought it was dead and gone until a 'new school' of roller derby surfaced on cable TV via the A&amp;E reality series Roller Girls. It featured a local, all-girl roller derby league in Austin, Texas and followed the lives of the players on and off the track. While much of the show dwelled in Lifetime style drama about binge drinking and bad relationships, it was the first clue that many had that roller derby had risen from the dead. A sport that had faded into the lowest level of obscurity had been rediscovered and embraced by an eclectic group of young women. They had kept the same essential format, thrown in a healthy dose of burlesque camp and Varga pin-up inspired glamour and made it into their own vibrant subculture. They changed the competitive format and renamed the competitions "bouts" a la MMA or boxing. The result was a compelling mixture of glamour, toughness and athleticism driven by a healthy dose of punk rock "do it yourself" mentality.</p>
<p>Today, roller derby is a full blown worldwide phenomenon. There are hundreds of local roller derby leagues not only in the United States, but Canada, Australia and Europe. Most of the local groups similarly play up the campy retro pin-up/hot rod iconography and everyone involved sure looks like they're having a good time. Between teams there's a vibe of good natured competitiveness and camaraderie.</p>
<p>The young women in roller derby have taken what was cast off TV time filler and revived it into their own distaff 'action sport'. The community that has sprung up around it bears a striking resemblance to the skateboarding or snowboarding subculture. There's one big difference--in contrast to more male dominated action sports the roller derby circa 2009 is just the opposite--a living, breathing matriarchal success story.</p>
<p>The new generation rollergirls also pay homage to their sports' pioneers much in the same way that skateboarders give props to Duane Peters and Tony Alva and surfers evoke the names of Duke Kahanamoku and Greg Noll. Many of the individual group websites have sections devoted to the history of roller derby, and the late Ann Calvello--regarded as the Queen of the original Roller Derby--is revered as something of a patron saint.</p>

For me personally MMA is more exciting purely because there are more ways for a fighter to win the fight.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am more of a mixed martial arts fan than a boxing fan, but I do enjoy boxing every now and then. For me personally MMA is more exciting purely because there are more ways for a fighter to win the fight. So many times have I seen on forums and websites people arguing over which is the better sport and which fighters are tougher? The truth is toughness comes down to individuals, there are tough boxers just like there are tough MMA fighters. So the question remains; can boxing and mixed martial arts co-exist?</p>
<p>First of all let me address this ridiculous notion that 'Boxing is dying man!'. No, it most certainly is not! Boxing has been around since around 2000 BC. It is one of the oldest sports in the world and is still one of the biggest sports in the world. Something that's been around that long does not just die and wither away. Boxing is still more popular than MMA and has thrown up some great fights in recent times.</p>
<p>It has been great to watch a sport like MMA grow from a child that nobody wanted to the spectacle it is today; generating millions of dollars in TV revenue for fighters and Mr White. Mixed martial arts organizations are doing their best to rectify the mistakes made by boxing over the years, of which there are many, but in doing so they have found some new ones themselves. Neither of these sports are perfect, although mixed martial arts is still young and has time to adjust, whereas boxing is pretty much a fully grown adult. And as we all know adults find it more difficult to change.</p>
<p>So can boxing and MMA co-exist? My answer is yes, of course they can, In fact this competition may be exactly what the world of boxing needs. No longer does it have the monopoly on contact sports. There is a young buck in town and he's eating well and growing fast. Either boxing jump starts itself or it just might find itself loosing more than just it's old retired fighters to the sport of MMA. These sports can actually learn from each other and who knows? Maybe we'll see a world championship boxing fight on the same event as a mixed martial arts title fight.</p>
<p>So I ask all you boxing fans to welcome the new sport and appreciate it for what it is. And to the MMA fans I say 'Respect your elders', boxing has been around a lot longer than you and will be with for many more years to come.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>June is set to be an extremely exciting month for Football fans, when the 2010 FIFA World Cup will finally take place in South Africa. It has been an extremely long wait, but it is now just around the corner. Of course, people are already thinking about which team will win, but history proves that there are a certain bunch of teams that have showed some dominance, so could continue to dominate this year. A World Cup 2010 Forum is going to ensure you keep in touch with all the latest developments.</p>
<p>In any recent World Cup, it seems that Brazil is one of the top contenders, and that has been the case over time. They have qualified and ranked highly on many occasions, with multiple wins in the past. To date, Brazil has managed to win more World Cups than any other team. It all began back in 1958, when they managed to obtain their first win. This was a fantastic show, weakening the Swedish team early to get a 5-2 win.</p>
<p>1962 was the next time Brazil natives saw a similar performance, a performance that truly showed their dominance and skill. They managed to challenged the Czechs early in the final, and eventually took a 3-1 victory. The successful final did not come until 1970, where Brazil would face Italy, who did well to knock out the Germans in the semi final. Eventually Brazil was victorious in a spectacular fashion with a 4-1 win.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for Brazil it would be a full 24 years before they reached another final. The weird thing for Brazil was, they would actually come up against Italy once more. This was certainly not a repeat performance though, with Italy holding them to a 0-0 draw, although Brazil went on to win based on penalties. Most World Cup 2010 Forum boards are talking about past events as we speak.</p>
<p>Just 4 years later Ronaldo would become the top scorer for the team, acting as a catalyst for them reaching the final. A 2-0 win against Germany would make up for the fact that they lost to France in 1998.</p>
<p>Whilst no other team has shown as much dominance as Brazil, the likes of Italy have shown strength. They had a great run before 1950, winning the 1934 and 1938 World Cup. Their third win came in 1982 with Rossi being one of the main assets of the team, with the fourth coming not too long after.</p>
<p>Germany has also showed some form over the years, taking three wins in total. This included their most recent wins in 1974 and 1990.</p>
<p>The total between all three teams (Brazil, Germany and Italy) is now 12! Check out a World Cup 2010 Forum to keep up to date with all the action.</p>
