Jon Jones was once again phenomenal were in he submitted Quinton "Rampage" Jackson to defend his light heavyweight title. Jon Jones caught Rampage in the 4th round via Rear-Naked choke that made Rampage Jackson tapped out. Then the referee interfere to stop the fight declaring Jon Jones the winner via tap out.

Jon Jones mixed all his moves to create unpredictable attacks to confuse Jackson. Meanwhile Jackson stick to his common stance and fighting style via striking punches. Which eventually more like of a one dimensional fighter. Even so Jon Jones don't have to be careless since the punches that Rampage are releasing have tremendous power. One wrong move can cause Jones to hit the canvass.

Jones Made a cut on Rampage's eye which he connected with an elbow when he was pounding Rampage. And then with a slight opportunity Jones manage to lock a Rear-Naked Choke.

Matt Hughes was 1 second away from being saved by the bell. But Josh Koscheck steal that 1 second from him. Josh Koscheck won the fight via TKO and knockout Matt Hughes in the first round with the time of 4:59 seconds left on the clock.

Another crap update of Facebook

Another crap and somehow useless update of facebook. I noticed that the picture together with the "Name" and the "Home" are all being displayed incorrectly. All of them are somehow look liked being misplaced.




And also another thing on the right side were in the ads are placed. Were all those text, pictures, names, ads and etc are just being dump in this corner. And also the notification box above is quite useless since you have the notification counter located near the friend request and messages.

Larry Merchant will kick Floyd Mayweather's ass!

What a bad night for boxing were in the main event was Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Victor Ortiz. But what I really love to see was the interview between Mayweather and Larry Merchant were in they exchange trash talks.



And also a dirty win for Floyd Mayweather Jr. Were in he took advantage of his dirty tactics and it was more like an unsportsmanlike win.



Reaction to the fight

A bad and controversial ending for the fans who attended the fight. They deserve more than just a cheap and hallow victory from Floyd Mayweather Jr. It was clear that Floyd took advantage of the situation and it was considered legal. But if you are really a sports minded athlete and trust your skills then you won't do that.

Boxing is dead tonight because of what happened. Floyd Mayweather Jr. also talked censored words to the journalist Larry Merchant. But Larry stood his ground and fight back with his own trash talks.

Looking back Solenn Heusaff

I remember watching the Survivor Philippines celebrity edition were in Solenn Heusaff said that she won't enter the field of showbiz. But now we realize that she has regular TV shows and also one of the sexiest female celebrities in FHM and other magazines. Solenn is not just depending on her sexiness and hot figure. Solenn also has other skills and talents like singing were in she really has a good voice. Her voice is just cool and nice to hear and now that she is practicing it and some performances in party pilipinas would develop that skills she have.

I wonder what would have happen if Solenn Heusaff did not really enter the showbiz. We would just see her rarely on the magazine she poses. And eventually not visible on some TV shows we are watching.

UFC 135 Jon "Bone" Jones vs Quinton "Rampage" Jackson

UFC 135 will be a title fight between Jon "Bone" Jones vs Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. The fight will be on september 24,2011 at Pepsi Center Denver Colorado. Jon Jones will defend his light heavyweight belt against Rampage Jackson. Supporting bout in the welterweight is the Hall of Famer Matt Hughes vs Diego Sanchez.

Fight prediction between Rampage and Jones:

Both fighters are very dangerous and explosive. Rampage is one of those fighters that can throw heavy bombs into his opponents. Were is Jones could also do the same thing either a series of punches or kicks. The fight could end either both ways were in if Rampage can connect a big shot then Jones would be in a bad shape. Or the other way around if Jones could establish himself and gain momentum then Rampage would end up like Mauricio Shogun Rua.

Both Fighters are skilled and would do anything to stop there opponents. But I guess Jones would have his advantages on his speed and style. Since Rampage recent fight was focusing on his striking attacks. And if Jones could mix his combo really good then Rampage would be in bad shape. Jones could stir all his strikings from his punches down to his leg kicks. And if Jones can do that then he can actually defend his title. Jones can also wear down Rampage and could also do some take down to drain Rampage's stamina. But Jones has to be careful since Rampage can connect those heavy bombs even if they are down on the ground.

if Rampage can caught Jones either a strong punch or a power slam. Then we gonna see another TKO via power slam courtesy of Rampage Jackson. And Rampage could also develop his leg kicks then this makes him a very deadly striker. Not only capable of throwing heavy punches but also vicious leg kicks.

Matt Hughes vs Josh Koscheck

Matt Hughes should dominate this fight in order to redeem himself after a quick defeat he suffered from his previous fight with BJ Penn. Matt Hughes got TKO within just 20 seconds when BJ Penn Connected his punches. In order for Matt Hughes to bring back his confidence he has to explode from this fight. But the enemy that Matt Hughes will face is someone that loves to have a raw fight. Josh Koscheck is not gonna back down to whoever is the opponent he faces. Josh Koscheck posses a very significant threat a very dangerous opponent for Matt Hughes that has good stand up and ground skills and wrestling techniques.

Both this fighters will bring it on inside the octagon. As Matt will do everything to defeat his enemy and also with Josh Koscheck. If Matt Hughes can take down Josh Koscheck then Matt should also consider Kosheck's wrestling abilities. Since we all know how physically strong Matt Hughes can be after all this years. Hughes could make Koscheck tap by submitting him or knock him out via vicious punches.

UFC 134 Anderson Silva vs Yushin Okami

Anderson Silva vs Yushin Okami

Great match up coming this UFC 134 as the home crowd of Brazil will cheer for there home town fighters. UFC rio will happen on August 28,2011 and the main event would be the pound for pound middleweight champion Anderson "The Spider" Silva. Defend's his title against the only one who defeated him Yushin "Thunder" Okami. Anderson Silva loss to Yushin Okami last January 20,2006 Rumble of the Rock 8 in Honlul
u Hawaii. Silva committed and illegal kick and was disqualified and now this rematch against silva's home crowd would mean a lot. As silva would try to redeem him self after suffering that lost.

After a 3 winning streak Yushin Okami is back to fight Anderson Silva. And if Okami wins this he will not only be the new middleweight champion but also earn his respect. Yushin Okami is one of the most successful mixed martial art's representative of Japan. And his strength and power would be a big threat for the defending champion Silva.

Mauricio Rua vs Forrest Griffin

Another home crowd favorite will fight after suffering from a bitter lo

st and lost his light heavyweight title Mauricio "Shogun" Rua who will face Forrest Griffin as both fighters prove and climb again the ladder to the way up. It will be an explosive fight but if Rua's performance will still be the same like what he was doing when he was fighting Jon Jones. Slow and saggy moves from Rua and also gets exhausted right away then there is no doubt that Forrest Griffin will win the match. And Forrest Griffin doesn't back down to whoever he faces inside the octagon. And Griffin loves to grind down his opponents and wear them down. Best of all Forrest Griffin does not quit easily and has a big heart. But if Rua will show determination and his skills inside the octagon then it would be a great match up. Since Forrest Griffin would love to exchanged strikes with Mauricio Rua. Both fighters have excellent stand up and striking so this will be a great match up.

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs Brendan Schaub

The fight would not be completed with another home crowd fan Antonio "Minotauro" Nogueira who would face a young and promising Brendan Schaub for the Heavyweight bout. If Nogueira wants to be back on top he has to dominate this opponent and outwit him. Nogueira has to demolish his enemy in order for him to get back his confidence after suffering from bitter TKO losses to Frank Mir and Cain Velasquez. But for Brendan Schaub if he defeats Nogueira his future is bright in the UFC . And there is a big chance for him to face much more greater fighters inside the octagon.

Were wolf movies

There are so many Were wolf movies that I have seen. Some of them look like mascot and so obvious that they look likecostumes. But so far the best werewolf movie I have watched was from Anthony Hopkins Wolf Man. From the human form down to the transformation it was clear. Since some movies just show shadows of how the human being transformed into a werewolf. But in the movie of Wolfman it was all shown. From the changing of the face, to the growing of hairs and finger nails. All of the necessary detailed things that needed to be seen were included in thescene. The big and ravage attitude of the wolf made a great picture. As soon as the full moon as at sight the transformation begins. And I admire how the director arranged the sequence of the transformation. From the simple tickling and enlargement of the fingers. To the growing of the hair and fan with matching expanding of the body. It was a great feature to watch.

Another also good werewolf movie

was from the movie Underworld Rise of the lycans. Were in the werewolves were just as good as they look. They may be many and look all the same but the movie it self was a bit different and a bit unique to other

movies. Compared to Wolfman movie the werewolves of underworld were more like hunters. They hunt as groups and with

a legion of werewolves to track down vampires. Underworld movie was also great especially the story about lycans and werewolves. The story was good but like I said it could have been better if it was vampire vs lycans or vampire vs werewolves.

Twilight and harry potter werewolves.

Both of this werewolf movie tied based on my opinion. Since in the Harry prisoner of azkaban were in there was a lycan and a werewolf scene. The scene was like only 10-15 minutes when it was revealed who they were. But the way the wolf transformed and the outcome was not so impressive and scary. It was more like of a hungry and malnourished werewolf.

Were as in the twilight new moon movie when it comes to there wolf settings it is totally different from among those movies I have mentioned. From Jacob transforming into the wolf was a bit quick and instant wolf. Especially when bella was chased by the vampire and then jacob at his back trying to defend him. When jacob jumps and leap transforming in mid air into a wolf. The animation and transformation sequence was great but it was like a pure wolf transformation. A werewolf should be like half wolf and half human but in the twilight movie it was closer to a wolf or a Siberian husky.

Rashad Evans TKO Tito Ortiz

It was the rematch that both Rashad Evans and Tito Ortiz waited for after 5 years. And it was time for them to settle the score inside the octagon. There last fight resulted in unanimous draw last july 2007.

In the first round of the fight Rashad Evans took control of the it when he showed his boxing and striking skills to Tito Ortiz. But Ortiz would also do a great job on his defense evading and counter attacking as well. And Evans would continue to dominate more until the end of the round.

But in round 2 Tito Ortiz made adjustment's and was focused to start the round. Ortiz would take down Evans and use his wrestling and grappling skills to own the round.

And Ortiz managed to sneak and guillotine choke that

would have ended Evans and could lead to a tap out win. But Evans managed to escape Ortiz expertise move and would be relentless on his striking. Evans landed a strong knee that made Tito Ortiz crumbled down. As soon as Evans realize he landed a big hit and seeing Ortiz is hurt. Rashad Evans took advantage and started pounding home Ortiz. And after a series of pound shots the referee took over to stop the fight declaring Evans the winner via TKO with 4:48 of round 2.

Vitor Belfort vs Yoshihiro Akiyama

Vitor Belfort proved to the fans that he is back and with an explosive win against japanese superstar Yoshihiro Akiyama. Belfort won the fight in the first round via TKO when he landed strong punch to Akiyama together with fury of combo punches. Akiyama could not see were those punches were coming from since Belfort was so quick and accurate. As soon as Belfort established flaming punches all over Akiyama's defense, Belfort was close to closing the fight with an explosive win.

Belfort continued to rained punches all over Akiyama and when Belfort landed a big shot that caused Akiyama to be outcold. The referee took over and declared Belfort the winner via TKO in 1:54 of round 1.

Akiyama would be treated right away by the medical staff after he was out cold lying inside the octagon. And moments later Akiyama was sitting in the corner fine and breathing.

Kuwait Fans cheated vs Azkals??

With the intense battle of the football team both teams seek and try there best to defeat there rivals in establishing themselves to advance into the next round. But somehow die hard fans would also do there best so that the team that they are supporting can also win and make it through.

A goal keeper of the Azkals team Neil Etheridge was reportedly distracted by a laser the some Kuwait fans used in order to distract him. Some pictures of this fans pointing a laser beam to the goal keeper.

We all know how fans react and show support to there team. But with this kind of picture captured from the second leg of the game between the Azkals and Kuwait shows a bit of a desperate fans. The fan handling the laser pointing to the goal keeper tries to distract him so that the goal keeper cannot concentrate on the attack for goal.

Some how this kind of act is more likely to be considered as cheating in other words this

statement or article is not pointing to the person using the laser. But this article's purpose

was to let everyone especially those who missed the game and to let t hem know what

happened in the field.

As it is clear that the picture shows that a fan sitting and watching the game was using a laser

and trying to distract the goal keeper of the Azkals. This are just some of the misbehavior

that a fan can show in the game. And in some worse cases is when fans throw something to

the players. Or when fans act like mobs and cause riots all over the place.

Weird PR status

It's a bit weird this days with the things happening on my blog. First when I tried to use this blog and redirect all the robots and search engine spiders to the co.cc domain. And after weeks Google and other search engines banned and deindexed sites that are using co.cc.

And unfortunately this site was included since it used eljhogart.co.cc domain before. But after redirecting it again back to its original domain name eljhogart.blogspot.com and I checked the PR status. It was weird and this was the first time I saw this kind of PR ranking. The site is PR 1 and the index items were 0. Is it possible to have a PR and index status like this?

PLDT MANDAUE CITY a lowsy as a corrupt turtle

This is my great experience of applying for there DSL. When I decided to apply for there DSL since I need a stable connection of internet. There was no doubt PLDT could supply me the internet connection I need. So I tried to call there customer service that I want to apply there DSL and the customer service told me to go to there office so that I can fill up the form and also to give them the address and sketch of our house.

After I went to there customer service office and provided them the sketch of our house. The customer representative told me to wait for the surveyor tomorrow to go to your house and have a good survey. The surveyor will survey the location and will conclude if the area is applicable for the installation.

And on the next day I was waiting for the surveyor and also waited for a text message or a call from my cellphone since I provided my contact number. The surveyor could text asking were exactly is my place if they are confused of the sketch that I made. After 2 days of waiting a text finally came to my cellphone and asking were is my house located. As I replied with the instructions were our house was accessible so that the surveyor can easily find our house.

When we finally meet the surveyor his name was ERWIN I forgot his last name. Erwin said that my area is applicable for connection since my house was near a wire post. And also one of my neighbors had a telephone connection before but was cut off because they leave the house. So Mr. Erwin gave me the application form for me to fill up. And also I returned the form together with the scanned ID requirements. Mr. ERWIN also told me that I can just pay in there office because he forgot to bring some receipts to be issued on me.

So the next day I decided to went to there office and proceed to there SALES department so that I would pay the installation fee for Php 1,000.00. The re

ceipt was immediately issued and they told me to wait for 5-7 days for the contractor to install my DSL application. So I keep waiting and waited for 1 week.

After 1 week not even a text or call from the contractor and from the surveyor. So I decided to text the surveyor inquiring about my application for installation. Mr. Erwin replied that he will ask the contractor and follow up my query.

After several weeks perhaps 2 straight weeks and still not a single

text or message I received. As I keep asking MR. ERWIN what happened to my application. Some how MR. ERWIN QUINAIN replied me a contact information of there contractor head MR. FRANKLIN PASTULAN.

I decided to call MR. FRANKLIN and talked about the issue of my application for installation. Mr. Franklin told me on phone that they will take action this week and hopefully I will get my application for installation fixed. But still weeks have passed and seemingly it was clear there was no sign of a contractor that went to my house.

I decided to call MR. FRANKLIN on his land line in the office. MR. FRANKLIN told me that they tried to contact me with the cellphone number I provided in the application form but they could not contact me. And Franklin told me to report to the office for information clarity and issues.
the next few days I text MR. ERWIN about the contact number that I am using and asked favor to update my contact number so that I won't keep going to there office. I text once a day straight for 1 week since I was desperate enough to get a call from the contractor some day.

But as if nothing happened so I decided to go to there office in the afternoon and clarify things up. When I met MR. FRANKLIN and asked about my issues he showed me my contact number on screen. The contact number that was saved was my fathers contact number and that's why they could not contact that cell number because my father is in our home town and there is not cellphone signal there. So I updated and gave them my contact number so that they can reach my anything. And MR. Franklin told me that they might go to my house probably tomorrow.
I assumed the MR. ERWIN QUINAIN had a mistake in saving the contact number or whoever was responsible of that mistake.

The whole month of May passed by and not even a call or a text about the contractor going to my house. And until June came and still all the same thing. But on the 3rd week of June finally 2 contractors came by the house asking if I was the one they were looking for. And I talked to them about my application and asked them if they will install now that they are here.

But bad news for me for the contractors declined my query and said to me that they cannot continue to install my application. Since our house was far away from the main highway and it was 6-7 post away from there main line. They just left and told me that they will survey again my house.

What kind of workers are they and what kind of professionalism they gave to there customer. First MR. ERWIN a surveyor from PLDT came to my house and concluded that I can avail there DSL installation. And after months of waiting until now nothing happened and as if my application was set aside on there tables. I paid there installation fee last April 28, 2011 and until now July 27, 2011 nothing has ever happened. I still didn't get the services that I paid last April from them. And July is about to end so it would be 4 months have passed.

Yao Ming Retires

The biggest basketball star from China announces it's official retirement as a professional basketball who made it to the Nba. Yao made his final decision last July 20, 2011 due to his constant food and leg injuries that bothered him in the middle of his career. The 7 foot 6 inch center player of china that manage to play in the Nba would officially end his career without getting what every player wants and that's winning a championship.

Yao was drafted by the Houston Rockets on 2002(Round 1, 1st overall pick) And would soon start to establish his name. Yao would capture and satisfy his fans with this agile moves were in he could play both inside and out. Yao Ming would also solidify his status with his high free throw percentage as a big man.

Yao Ming was known to be one of the most dominant players in the league playing at center position. His legs are like three trunk that holds his position well in the post area. And his height as 7'6 footer is his advantages not to be blocked easily by his defenders. And His feathery touch makes him shoot softly using a left/right hook. Yao Ming developed his hook shots due to his constant practice and also with the help of Nba hall of fame Hakim Olajuwon.

Yao Ming also had a good perimeter shooting were in he can drain those shots easily especially when he is wide open. There were also some instances that Yao shoots a long fade away shot or shoots a three point shot and made it. Yao was merely unpredictable and he was also a good in both offense and defensive rebounds. Yao is one of those big defenders inside the painted area were in he could just easily block his opponents shots or layup. With his height it's just easy to chase those layups and jump shots and swipe them away. One of those elite guard players who find a way to avoid Yao mings block shots was Allen Iverson. Iverson would make a layup and use the glass to make the shot fall into the basket. But Iverson would not just use the glass like normal layups that other players do. Iverson would use to hit almost the tip of the glass just to bypass and avoid Yao Mings block.

Yao Ming was influenced and was determined to one of the most competitive centers of the Nba during his time. He was determined to establish himself as one of the most dominant centers next to his rival Shaquille O'neal.

But Dirk would be consistent especially on the crucial part of the game and his free throws. In the start of the finals between the Miami Heat Dirk would ask help from his teammates especially on the offense side. Since he knows he is the main target of the Miami Heat to be shut down. And who would step up the moment he will be guarded defensively and will have a bad game. And soon on the coming games Dirk's teammates would step up to help his loads. Then Jason Kidd, J.J.

Kidd had chances and opportunities before when his New Jersey Nets team went to the finals two times. But they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers and to the San Antonio Spurs. But now Kidd accomplished what he had dream long. To get an Nba Championship with all the hard work and efforts he gave.

Jason Kidd would be consistent in the game as he knows his contributions are needed by Dirk Nowitzki and the rest of this teammates would benefit from it. His defense against talented super stars like Kevin Durant(Oklahoma Thunder) and Lebron James would a big factor. As Kidd would easily swipe the ball from their position and would also steal and take it away from them.

And Terry would tell the media that he dream this for a long time and would have end up a decision in removing the tattoo if they can't win a championship this series. Jason Terry had been Dirk Nowitzki's side score duo especially in the fourth quarter. And they had been dreaming this title for all of there life were they put all efforts on the line. Terry answered Dirk Nowitzki's call to help him offensively as Dirk was really having a hard time in the game. As a double or even triple team would guard him but when it happens Dirk would dish the ball to his teammate Jason Terry and would get an easy shot.

Microsoft to puchase Skype

One of the biggest and well know companies in the world Microsoft is on the move of buying the Internet Phone Service Skype for $8.5 billion. Microsoft's move is to tackle and put high standard in there competence with other big companies like Google Inc. Microsoft is know worldwide as one of the biggest software producers in line with Apple. And now they are planning to purchase skype.

To be honest I really like and admire skype especially on there services. There is no other online or call services that are clearer and much high quality compared to skype. Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, MSN are among it's rivals. But it's like I rate them all with 2 and I rate skype with 5 which shows how skype's standard's are really good.

Good, Clear and clarity voices when calling are some of the best highlights and services you can avail. Based on my experience non of those rivals and competitors could even match skype's great services. Clear sounds when talking and great up time when calling.

I even uninstalled my Yahoo Messenger and MSN applications because skype was so reliable. When you compare skype and Yahoo Messenger for sure you will get annoyed and irretated of the Yahoo Messenger services. Delayed and not so clear sounds. The video streaming is sometimes blurry and lag. All those features that will make you lose your hair are there.

But if you use skype then for sure you show your thumbs up. A lot of people are using skype because of there free high standard services. Some father or Mother tend to appreciate this services in communicating with there love ones that are far away.

What could be the future of skype when they are under Microsoft would there services be changed? Instead of free services Microsoft would turn skype in to a retail use were you will pay if you use there services. Since we all know now that Microsoft is capable of selling there software's now especially there operating system. Not like before when they were all for free.

Will there quality of services will not be the same as now like video and sound clarity?

This are just some common questions that triggered in my mind. As to what I am guessing and predicting. I hope skype will remain for free and there services would be much better.
