MMA Flashback: Aoki Beats JZC In Rematch
Dec 21st
After a controversial no contest in their first matchup, there was no doubt as to the winner of the DREAM 2 rematch between Shina Aoki and JZ Calvan. Aoki controlled the fight from the opening bell and used a wide repertoire of submission attempts to keep his opponent off balance. Most impressive was Aokis dominance of the ground game, which many observers considered to be JZs edge in the contest.
Aoki scored early with a takedown and controlled Calvan on the ground, working a heel lock attempt before taking his opponents back and attempting a rear naked choke. In the second, Aoki put on a submission clinic and demonstrated his ungodly flexibility as he spun from an armbar to a triangle choke and back again. Calvan was able to counter or escape, but looked completely out of sync as he generated almost no offense whatsoever over the 15 minutes.
Aoki was very emotional in his postfight speech to the crowd, while JZC just looked disgusted with himself for losing such a one sided contest. JZC had grumbled about the no-contest in their DREAM 1 matchup, and the one sided decision made this an even more bitter pill to swallow.
With the victory Aoki advances to the semifinals of the lightweight GP tournament. Thats the plan at least, as Aoki made some statements in the Japanese press leading up to the fight that win or lose there would be no way hed be ready for the next round with only half the preparation time as the rest of the field. Hopefully the impressive victory and the enthusiastic response from the holiday week Tokyo crowd will change his mind as hes now the man to beat even with the short prep time.
The rest of the card was devoted to the opening round of the middleweight GP tournament. Taiei Kin defeated Minowa-man Ikuhisa Minowa in a very closely contested and entertaining fight.
Korean judoka Yoon Dong-Sik also advanced with a unanimous decision victory over Shungo Oyama. Most of the damage in this fight came from Yoons ground and pound from full mount, and he controlled the tempo from the outset. Two one sided contests followed, with Zeleg Galesic submitting Magomed Sultanakhmadov via arm bar in a minute and a half of the first round. That was followed by the MMA debut of former Pac 10 wrestling standout Ian Murphy, who had a worst case scenario draw against BJJ specialist Ronaldo Jacare. From the opening bell it was clear that Murphy was in over his head, and the result was as one sided a contest as youll ever seen on a major MMA show. After withstanding a beating and several arm bar attempts Murphy finally tapped to a rear naked choke.

Top 10 Wonderful Places In New Zeland
Sep 10th
Although we didn’t administer to adapt all things we want to look in the North Island of New Zealand, like for sample the art deco town of Napier, the Waitomo cave or the Waikaremoana lake, after having drove bottom to top through this island over 3000km I assume we got enough to place together our top 10, thus here we go:
1. the bubbling and smelling evidence of the earth’s powerful forces in Rotorua, despite its distinct smell of farts..sorry I meant sulphur, and the “Sacred Water” of Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland (27k south – entrance $35) packed with interesting thermal features from the Champagne Pool to the mineral terraces despite we missed the foreseeable lady Knox Geyser which goes off like a Switzerland clock every day at 10.15 (with a little manmade trick using some soap, cheeky);
2. forget about New Chums beach (Whangapoua/Coromandel), rated by someone one of the top 20 beaches in the world, what??, and the much photographed Cathedral Cove instead lose yourself in the pristine and secluded Whale Bay, near Matapouri along the Tutukaka coast, and you will see why I felt like taking off all my clothes and jumped in the water, not quite, I tried but the water was too cold even for immerse one foot;
3. the thunderous Waikato River and its Huka falls another evidence of the unstoppable force of the nature. Crossing the footbridge I could feel my feet shaking;
4. Te Papa, this interactive museum that overflows with Maori treasures and enthrals the visitors with insights of this land’s history. If the history doesn’t shake you up attempt the Earthquake house and I loved also the natural exhibitions with all native species on displays and a colossal octopus which eyes were bigger than a football ball (plus it’s free);
5. relax our body and mind at the numerous thermal Spas around NZ. The Polynesian Spa, overlooking lake Rotorua ($20 each), is voted one of top 10 spa by Conde’ Nast but we preferred our private pool at Taupo De Bretts Pool (only $10 with access to all pools whether you stay at their campground). However we were less thrilled when we overheard the “party” going on next door.. ouch;
6. climb the giant dunes at Te Paki stream at 90 Mile beach and “surf” our way down for what it was supposed to be a high-speed ride to the bottom. Didn’t quite work that way probably because instead of using the conventional hired body board (the shop was closed) we made our own one out of a kellogg’s box and a 1-dollar k-way jacket; that was part of a competition between Chris and I but none of us succeeded and we ended up cover all over of sand in and out our clothes, don’t’ ask me how;
7. dig frantically all over Hot Water beach for our own natural hot pool (we caught the well-being bug). Theoretically, you have to do it 2 hours before or after tide, exactly what we did other than the only thing that seeped up was in practice freezing water ..umm not sure what went wrong, maybe we should have asked for a little help to make this fascinating natural wonder works;
8. unwind in the Coromandel Peninsula lacking out time and mileage following the coastal road to the deserted glittering beaches such as Hahei and the 8km stretch of Waihi seaside and enjoying infinite picturesque views like the one over the Coromandel Harbour, Bowentown and Matakana island;
9. go walkabout at Mt Maunganui, a popular kiwi holiday’ spot overlooked by the massive hill “The Mount”. There is a great walk up to the summit and to the rocks on the joined Moturiki island, both offering spectacular shots over the sandy Bay of Plenty, or stroll along the long golden Papamoa beach;
10. the loop to the drowsy Matauri bay, north of the Bay of Islands, with its pretty white sand seaside and crystal clear water even whether the locals appear not truly tourist-friendly.

Blackberry Makes People Workaholics
Sep 10th
It has recently been found out that people with mobile technology such as Blackberries end up working an extra 15 hours a week as it is impossible to stop checking emails even they’re out of workplace.
A survey of some 600 employees coming from different places has proved that blackberry is actually turning them into a hopeless workaholic as they are linked to the world even while they’re at home. The research done by the Employment law firm Peninsula has said that invariably a working week is being extended to around 55 hours for many people these days.
According to the Managing director, Peninsula, Peter Bone, ‘It is necessary for staff to spend quality time away from the office, spending time with the family, or undertaking recreational activities quite than tapping away responding to customer emails or deadlines thus that they sustain a healthy work/life balance. Bosses should encourage staff not to work from home unless necessary. Inform staff that they should bound working from home.
If they are satisfied to work away then ensure they agree to opt out of the maximum working week and have this signed. Limit the magnitude to which employees are using their devices when they select to do so; unrested employees will be less productive during the working day.’
He further said that “The recession has forced everyone to become more productive and for those with access to work at home, this is an opportunity for them to catch up or get ahead. With email on tap, employees with smartphones are able to respond a lot quicker and also get themselves prepared for the working day ahead by checking their email first thing.
Employees should be encouraged to take appropriate rest breaks if they do choose to continue working out of hours. Having a well rested employee with a good work/life balance is a lot more useful than a tired employee that put one too many hours in the night before.” A smart phone may make communication much easier, but it does not come without its after effects.
