How Security Digital Video Recorders Work

By Mike Ward

Most people that have to work hard for all things that are purchased, do not desire a theft or invasion of their home and around their home. The invasions are sometimes nosy neighbors that feel the need to be in your home when the resident is not there. Others will live extremely close and wait for you to leave, then help themselves to anything that is visible. The only way to protect against these unethical, virtually unprovable dishonest people is to purchase some security digital video recorders.

Everyone finds it weird and annoying to have an unwanted visitor going through personal belongings when the home is empty. Not only is this person nosy, but very brave. Sometime there could be a person with a gun sitting on the other side of the door. For the most part, obtaining a security video recorder and using it to protect the home, is much easier on the conscience of the person being invaded. The culprit will be recorded and then the evidence can be handed into the proper law enforcement agency.

The second objective is to decide the placement of a security camera. This will assist on learning how many cameras to purchase. If the scenario is an annoying neighbor that is by law, not supposed to be on the property at all, chances are you will need more than one camera. Place your cameras so that every angle of the property will be viewed at all times.

Most security digital video recorders come with all the installation hardware needed to mount the device. However, if the devices will be mounted outside, you may have to improvise slightly. Use an illusion to catch the eye of the criminal by using a fake camera, then place your working cameras in the other direction. Fake cameras are cheaper and they do make an excellent decoy. What will a thief do to avoid a camera? Choose another route, that route will be saved on your camera.

Fourth, plug all wiring if compatible into the correct video slots of the recording device if needed. There are wireless cameras available, but these do not usually work the best. When the weather is an issue, the camera will probably not pick up what it should for viewing. Another issue is make sure your camera is the type that can see at night. Most crooks work in the dark, for the simple fact that shadows can provide protection for them.

After that, tweak your security digital video recorder so the most can be gained out of obtaining this method of protection. Simply stated, you can control what and where the camera looks. Then make sure the power that is being used by the camera, whether it is batteries or ac power, that there is a strong source. The last thing you need to interrupt your protection is a dead battery.

If your camera is not operating correctly, you may have to re-read the instructions and reinstall your protection. Chances are there is a wire unplugged somewhere.

You have all the information needed to decipher how a security digital video recorder works. There is a lot of positive results that will stem from getting one of these devices. For the most part, you will not have to worry about who is breaking into your home while you are attending an event. These are a very wise decision if you have any inkling that someone is dipping into your personal belongings. Invasion of privacy is not only unconstitutional but very violating to the victim, and extremely unethical in any circumstance.

Copyblogger.com Reveals the Outsourcing Conspiracy

By Teevee Aguirre

I am a big fan of Brian Clark. Copyblogger.com has been a mainstay on "favorite list" and rss reader for over a year. I always look forward to reading what he writes and the content he delivers. As an added bonus his guest writers also deliver quality post after post.

He has been an influence in my writing as a blogger and I highly recommend his site to anyone.

He also has a membership site called Teaching Sells for which I was a member of for about 6 months. I used the content he put in there to lay down the groundwork for my first online venture and membership site.

He even lives in Dallas and I hope to meet him and thank him personally.(If I am really lucky he may actually be reading this and wondering who I am)

The Outsourcing Conspiracy

I was on his site recently and couldn't help but notice that he had a graphic for a free report titled The Outsourcing Conspiracy. Oh boy! He had me hooked.

The bi-line said: What the 4 Hour Work Week and Internet Marketing Gurus Aren't Telling You About Outsourcing. Oh no! How dare he?

I believe that outsourcing works (it does) but was dying to find out what Brian Clark's opinion on the matter was. It was on my hard drive faster than you can imagine. I finished reading it in about an hour, and had my brain fried for days. So...

Guess What? He is Positively Right!

If you are someone new to internet marketing that outsourcing is not your best choice. He argues that outsourcing only leads to head aches and money being thrown away. Which is quite possible. Although, the model of outsourcing he writes about is the "freelancer" model in which you hire someone on a project by project basis.

He admits that at one time he did that very thing and made money doing it. The problem was that he found himself looking for talent regularly and eventually made him feel like more of a manager than a business owner.

However, the method I promote is a spin on what is written in the 4Hour Work Week. I have hired and trained someone to work for me full time.

Knowing that she will likely stick around with me gives me the confidence in knowing that I will make mistakes. It also allows me to have patience when she makes mistakes. It is just a part of life.I am able to go back to her and ask her to make some changes or simply do it all over.

If you are trying to learn this business in your spare time, can you truly hire someone full-time? Probably not. Outsourcing is obviously not for everyone.

There! I admit it!

I was at the point where I had too many ideas that needed to be implemented and I just couldn't handle it anymore. What I pay her gives me peace of mind when I am out at the park with my daughters.

Brian Clark's Big AHA!

Being the genius that Brian is I knew he had to have one. And he did.

He wraps up the report by delivering the idea of Partnering versus outsourcing. He gives examples of some of the greatest companies in the world coming our of partnerships: Google, Microsoft, IBM.

Despite the fact that he discourages what I promote. I see his point and would recommend what he is suggesting. Given his track record I know he will deliver the content to be able to help you.

On my first venture on line I had a partner and still do. I was in absolutely no position to hire someone.

In the creating of our site and product we learned a lot about all the moving pieced in an online business. Having each other helped us take small pieces of the big pie to be able to learn and implement. There is a great amount of value in being able to count on someone to help you develop your business.

So what are the options? Replace Myself or Partnering for Profits? It just depends on your circumstances. Either way you can't go wrong.

The Right Way to Take a Gun Away from a Thug!

By Al Case

I was teaching a martial arts class in a small town some years ago, and I had one student whose father dropped his son off, then sauntered over to the bar next door to enjoy himself while his son was getting healthy and strong. Class was just over one day, when the father staggered in and pointed a gun at me, and asked me what good my karate was now? I moved, he gaped at his gun suddenly appearing in my hand, and I grinned.

It is possible to take a gun away from somebody, even easy, and it doesn't even matter if they are pointing it into your face. I took that fellow's gun away from him, and I'm going to tell you how I did it. That said, and even considering what I am about to tell you in this article, I don't recommend risking your face against volatile discharge, and I do recommend giving your money to a fellow holding a gun on you.

The first and most important thing you must consider, when somebody points a gun at you, is which way his communication is going. Typically, a fellow steps steps out of a dark alley, is pointing a gun at you, and he says he will shoot. The intention of his communication is towards you.

Moving in a way, and at a speed, that demonstrates total compliance, you can raise your hands, and put them in a position that is best for what you are about to do. I have to tell you that you will have to decide, through a little practice, what position is best. The most important point, however, is that you calm your mind, and relax your muscles entirely and utterly.

Now, the fellow says to give him your money, and this is the point you have been waiting for. At this point the intent of the communication is towards him, and away from you. At this point he is not intending to shoot because he expects you to move towards him.

As I said, you must have muscles that are totally relaxed, and you must have an utterly calm mind. You are going to hit his wrist, and you must shift your head away from the direction the gun will move in and off the line of attack when you do so. Grab the barrel of the gun and twist it as you slap the inside of his wrist.

There may be a discharge of the weapon as you slap the inside of his wrist, but the gun should have angled so it will miss you. With tons of practice, and specifically of the technique and of the ability to be relaxed in one position in space, and then virtually instantaneously in another position in space, you can actually try different methods of controlling the gun and refine this technique.

Let me say quickly and forcefully that the technique won't work if the fellow is not interested in getting your money, but rather in kidnapping you for other purposes, or if he is too far away, or if you just read this article and never actually practiced the technique a few thousand times, I also want to say that I wrote this article for training purposes, for enlightenment of the individual when his life is threatened, not to give you the idea that your life is more important than money. I also want to let you know that it is going to be a lot of fun to go to court when the fellow is caught and you get to point a little laughter into his face.

Review: Sanyo SR-1000 Massage Chair

By Steven D Esquire

The following is a product review and evaluation of the Sanyo HEC-SR1000K massage chair recliner. This is the entry level massage chair model for Sanyo. We will present the salient features, functions and warranty coverage available for this massage chair. Let us take an in depth look at the Sanyo SR1000K massage chair recliner.

With all massage chairs, make sure that you check out the warranty coverage. There is substantial variation between models of the same manufacturer and also between manufacturers. Let us focus on the warranty of the DR 6700. The roller mechanism is covered for a three year period. This is what massages the back and the mechanics are contained in the chair back. The parts and labor are covered for one year each. There is also in home repair available and that is picked up by Sanyo for the first year.

There are two automatic programs designed in the SR 1000K massage chair. The first program is called Relax and as the name implies, it provides a softer, soothing massage. The second program is named Recovery and it is more like a warm down type of massage. Both of these auto-programs work with the touch of one button.

An intriguing and innovative feature is called the Stiffness Detector. This system using readings of your pulse rate and perspiration levels and correlates those to areas of the body having more tension. The massage chair then focuses the massage treatment to those areas detected. This is a fascinating technology integrated into the SR 1000 massage chair.

There are manual massage methods also built into the programming of the massage chair. These manual massages use one type of technique once selected. However, you can compliment the manual massage technique with 2 variations of leg stretches. Just select the type of stretch you would like and the SR 1000 will add it as part of the manual program as it is running.

The SR1000K also comes with a unique leg rest massager. The leg rest can be used to target the following areas: calves, back of the knees, sole of the foot and the Achilles tendon/heal. The leg rest contains a roller mechanism that massages the calves and the back of the knees. You can flip down the unit and then put your feet on it. This allows you to target the soles of your feet for a nice soothing massage. You can vary the speed of the massage and also the direction of the rollers.

There is a remote that runs all the functions of the SR1000. The design is fairly simple and intuitive for first time users. The buttons are a good size and easy for the average user to push. There are little lights that are used to show the level of intensity of the massage and also the roller width.

The design is different than most massage chairs on the market. We like the fact that the leg rest does not look like the typical massage chair. It looks more like a recliner. The feet can be massaged and this part can be hidden from view. The only strange part of the design is the remote control holder is mounted on the sign and kind of an eye sore. We do like the wood accents and that the chair is fairly thin. Overall, the SR-1000K provides thorough and effective massage therapy. It comes with a great warranty for this price level. If you are shopping for a massage chair recliner, then the Sanyo SR1000K is one to take a serious look at.

The Fight Between Steven Seagal or Jean Claude Van Damme?

By Al Case

When it comes to movie stars in the martial arts, one has to wonder who is better, Steven Seagal or Jean Claude Van Damme. They each have their own talents, and they each have areas where they are, let's admit it, lacking. Let's take a few areas and let them go head to head and and see who's better.

As to who the better martial artist is, Jean Claude has muscles, can do the splits, and likes to bop heads. Steven Seagal, on the other hand, trained to 6th degree in Aikido. Though they studied different arts, judging by the technique thy display on film, I would have to give the edge to Seagal.

I think that Van Damme is better when it comes to acting. Van Damme trys to be act in his roles, and he always plays a variety of characters. Seagal just bills himself as bad, and wades in and bullies his way to victory.

As to which actor ages best on the screen, I would have to say Van Damme. Seagal, let's face it, has a bit of the chub. He tries to cover it with bad coats, he is famous for his bad coats, but it doesn't work.

Van Damme ages better in real life, too. His martial arts actually seem to get a little better with age. He actually looks like he is trying to do more than just the splits and punch. and he is gaining in technique.

Which has made the better movies. This is a toughie, for Van Damme has made a couple of classics, and Seagal, at least in the beginning, had better production values. I think I might, in spite of his latter atrocities, give the edge to Seagal, though if you argued with me over this you wouldn't encounter much fight.

Which has more charisma, I think has to be Seagal. He had charisma in the beginning, and, though his last movies have spiraled down into the dump heap, he still has a certain amount of screen presence. If he'd stop producing, directing, writing, playing the music for, singing in, being the gaffer and the cameraman and the boom operator and everything else, and get off his self image, he might shine again.

So, I hope you don't think I'm doing the weasal, I think they tie. And, let's face it, though I am poking a bit of fun with them, they both have offered moviedom some fun and unique perspectives on the martial arts. So let's ignore their foibles and cook up a mess of popcorn, with lots of butter, and enjoy them.

Importantly it is also found in breast milk.

Now babies cannot produce their own DHA, so they get it from their mother. They get it through the placenta before they are born and from the breast milk after. For this reason a mother is constantly losing some of her supplies of DHA to her baby.

So for this exact reason the experts recommend that moms or moms to be take extra Omega 3 supplements containing DHA. And it's not just these supplements that are recommended, there are others like folic acid. But now as well moms should be taking DHA supplements to aid in the infant and fetal brain development.

Both for fetal brain and eye development as well as other aspects of fetal development.

Recommendations for how much DHA should be consumed by pregnant and nursing mothers varies, but are around 200 to 300 mg per day. With our modern diet it is unlikely that we get enough DHA in our diets.

Fish oil is the major, though not the only, source of DHA. Omega 3 fats found in fish are high in DHA. However there are some experts that are suggesting that moms do not take fish oil supplements high in DHA.

The fish at the high end of the food chain contain the most Omega 3 fats and so would be the obvious choice for a supply of DHA, but some experts believe that these fish are contaminated with some pollutants found in the sea like PCBs and mercury, and that mothers shouldn't be exposed to these.

And unfortunate though it is some fish oil supplements do indeed contain some of these contaminants.

There is in fact a number of different international standards relating to acceptable levels of contamination. But it's better to have no contamination, and luckily there is one company that seeks to achieve this. This company manufactures their omega 3 supplements a standard way higher than any of the international standards. This is good news for moms and soon to be moms, and for any of us, as we should all be taking Omega 3 fish oils supplements for our health.

So there now seems to be little doubt that mothers and pregnant women ought to be taking the best Omega 3 supplements high in DHA, for both their own health and the health and development of their babies.

Fortunately there are now clean Omega 3 fish oil supplements available that eliminate the need to worry about chemical contamination. Visit my website to find out where to source these.

Why You Should Learn Self-Defense

By Gary Franklin

Just pick up a newspaper or turn on the news on tv and you'll understand why learning some self defense is important. Self-defense is defined as being able to have the ability or skill to protect oneself and prevent others from bringing harm.

No one is immune to being assaulted so knowing how to protect yourself is extremely important. The reason for this is obvious. Being alone at times is inevitable. There are activities that require an individual to be by himself/herself alone.

Knowing self defense doesn't mean you have to be a 5th degree black belt. Simply knowing just a few simple things could make a huge difference in you safety. Especially in women, there is a need to be equipped with physical techniques to escape, survive, or defy violent and unexpected harmful attacks.

Martial arts is the most popular form of self defense. This could be in different sports like karate, aikido, karate do, kickboxing, and many others. These endeavors are especially designed and programmed to systematically defend ones self rather than hastily fight.

having self defense skills also helps with increased self esteem, confidence and peace of mind. If these key areas are enhanced, a person is more likely to secure himself and enrich the promptness of his response faculties.

If more people possessed self defense skills our communities would be that much safer. It is already an established fact that crime rates tend to lower if the attackers know that people are armed with a full range of defense strategies. More often than not, they fear the possibility of being caught or knocked down. In turn, the commitment of misdemeanors becomes lesser.

Having self defense skills will allow you to make smart choices about the situations you put yourself in. Persons with such sound well beings are less prone to becoming victims of crimes. Thus lessening their escalation even in the urban areas which prove to be more dangerous than when in the countryside.

The benefits of knowing self defense are many so don't waste any more time and start learning now. Don't self defense for granted. Especially children, who always fall prey to attackers because they are small and helpless, need to get familiarized with self defense strategies even as early as their age. This would help them grow up stronger with more confidence and self esteem.

Yes self defense can mean the difference between life and death. This newly released guide Karate Instruction will teach the basics of karate. There's not another karate book that's so easy to use!

Managing An Organization : Leadership Styles

By Adam Capewell

Leadership is the topic for this part of our guide to organizational management...

There are three generally-accepted leadership styles that organizational leaders will use to carry out their duties and responsibilities - autocratic, democratic and laissez-faire, or a combination of any of these styles.

An autocratic leader supervises in a manner that denies employees an opportunity to provide input or make suggestions, even those suggestions that could be of benefit to an organization. Autocrats lead by exerting unchallenged power over their staff, and, while this may be warranted in situations where staff is providing routine or unskilled labor, generally, most people resent being treated in such a manner. Such resentment will typically result in a high turnover rate and a higher-than-usual employee absentee rate.

Employees who are kept abreast of what's going on in an organization, and who are invited to participate in the decision making process, are more likely to have a higher level of job satisfaction. A democratic leader will seek input and recommendations from his or her team before making a final decision. Thus, democratic leadership has a tendency to slow down the process somewhat, but on the whole results in more satisfied staff with better skill sets and less turn-over.

In situations where an organization has a team of workers who are highly skilled and experienced, and who are self-motivated, a Laissez-faire leadership style can be very effective. French for "leave it be," laissez-faire leaders do not typically micro-manage their employees, but instead allow them to work toward organizational goals on their own. A good laissez-faire leader will continually monitor staff's progress and achievements and provide good communication to his or her team. The downside is where a laissez-faire type leader does not exert sufficient influence and loses control over where his or her team is heading.

There is no one leadership style that fits all situations. A good leader will take into account factors that play into productivity - things like the organization's structure and culture (does the company effect radical change frequently, or is it stable and conservative?), the type of work being performed, and the general skill-level and experience of its staff.

The best leaders will frequently toggle among leadership styles, employing the best style for the situation in front of them and the personalities with which they are working.

Marvelous Ninja Gear Options

By Steve Thibeault

In Japanese history, a ninja is a warrior, trained in martial arts, who specializes in a variety of unorthodox acts of war. A lot of the tradition from this movement has been carried forward to today and ninja gear is quite popular, with their weapons and tools finding use in the modern era.

One of the beauties of ninja gear is that it is multipurpose. Ninja warriors were very creative and could adapt existing weapons to different circumstances and situations. For example, they might hide smaller weapons inside larger weapons and were also known to dip blades into poison to make them more lethal. The range of weapons and tools were highly versatile and would enable the ninja to adapt to most threats.

Much of the ninja gear was made up of a variety of different types of weapon. Knives, axes, sawing tools and swords comprised their blade-based weapons. The ninja would use some of the swords to cause internal damage to foes or to break bones, as surprisingly, they were not particularly sharp. Wooden swords were used sometimes and these were advantageous insofar as they could be painted and used for camouflage protection.

The ninja were very often stealthy. All staffs made of hardwood would be carried, which would not look particularly impressive to the enemy. However,knives or poison darts were hidden within and were deployed when the staff was quickly flicked by the ninja.

Projectile weapons, including creative hollow eggs and poison darts, were part of the traditional ninja gear. The eggs were filled with tiny poisonous items to be thrown at the enemy to blind them. A throwing star, also known as a Shuriken, could be thrown at pursuers, but not used as an offensive item. Today, the stars are thrown at a ninja target board by enthusiasts.

Ninja often used chain-based weapons, either to swing something with greater force or to entangle the enemy. They could attach a variety of different weapons to these chains and cords for greater effect.

Very creative water crossing devices were often included within the ninja gear. They were also very clever at camouflaging themselves and would often leave a false set of tracks by wearing carved wooden pads on their feet. Highly creative water crossing devices allowed them to cross swollen rivers and they could also wear spiked claws to climb out of trouble.

The wide variety of ninja gear carried by these feared warriors is what holds them in such high revere to this day. Enthusiasts marvel at their creativity and love to collect items of weaponry, tools and survival gear. Would-be ninja gear owners are cautioned, however, that many of these items from Japanese history and folklore can be very dangerous if not handled carefully.

Fire Extinguishers - The Definitive Handbook On Selection And Placement

By Paul Mancini

No matter where you live or where you work, there is always the risk that a structural fire may break out. A handily positioned fire extinguisher should be your first line of defense, and may save lives or property. Fire extinguishers are mandatory at places where the incidence of fire is higher than normal, notably places like gas stations and commercial kitchens.

Fire extinguishers come in a variety of sizes. There are the very large types that you would find at oil refineries. These ones may require several people to carry them conveniently. Then you have the portable types that you find in small shops or residences.

There are 4 main types of fire extinguishers. They are categorized based on the types of combustible fuels that they are designed to put out. First, we have Class A fire extinguishers that are used to put out fires made up of solid fuels (such as wood, paper, plastics etc.). Next come the Class B extinguishers which are used to stop liquid fires. This class of extinguisher is most suitable for flammable liquids such as kerosene. Class C extinguishers are used for fires when there is energized electrical power involved. This kind of extinguisher will not provide a return conduction path back to the fire fighter and is good to use if there is a suspicion that electricity may be present. The final type of extinguishers are the 'Class K' versions. These units are used on cooking oil fires in restaurants.

In terms of how these devices operate, we have 2 main types of extinguishers. There is the stored pressure appliance, and the cartridge design. The pressure variation has the particular substance that extinguishes the fire, together with a propellant of some kind stored directly inside the tank. As you press the handle down, the gas is propelled from the tank and a resulting foam gushes out from the nozzle to put out the flames. In the cartridge design, there is no such pressure stored in the main tank. Instead of this you have a tiny auxiliary carbon dioxide cartridge that discharges into the cylinder when you press the handle. In this fashion it becomes just like a stored pressure tank which then puts out the fire.

As a principle, you should store the extinguisher in a place that is simple to reach. It is most logical to keep them in escape routes or near or behind doors. You should not locate them higher than a few feet off the ground, otherwise you'll risk not being able to get it down. You might also consider storing them in places where they can be spotted quickly. It isn't advisable to keep them inside cupboards or boxes. As a precaution you need to educate your household about where the extinguishers are and what they need to do in case a fire breaks out.

Extinguishers require ongoing maintenance. Usually they are serviced at regular intervals by the manufacturer or by the Fire Department. Servicing involves cleaning the equipment, inspecting for corrosion and charging of the powder which may have gone stale. The technicians will also inspect the discharge nozzle and triggers to make sure they are in working condition.

Extinguishers are useful pieces of equipment. They protect your home, property and most importantly, human lives against fire. A small investment in their purchase can save you from huge losses and a great deal of inconvenience.

Online Dangers to Child Safety

By Marion Jones

What can we say about the world children live in these days? Sexed-up television, pornographic Internet sites and videos and violent board games. A world lowering its standards, values, and morals each day, surrounds our children.

What is even worse is that we cannot use Parental Controls any more to keep our children away from websites of an adult nature. Children nowadays are advanced in technology, and sometimes more so than their parents. How can we protect our children against online dangers? How can we as parents provide safety for our children, while battling the corruption going on worldwide?

Parental Controls are available on most types of Internet software, yet today, children are skilled at by-passing these Parental Controls. So, what can we do? We can protect our children by overseeing their activities on the Internet closely.

How to use parental controls: It depends on which Internet provider you use, however, I will speak only of the Internet providers I know about, since not all programs are the same. To use AOL Parental Controls, you will need to go to 'Safety' on the toolbar and click on 'Parental Controls'.

Once you arrive there, you will see a drop-down list of available usernames. Search for your child's username and click on the username. You will see a popup window appear. Click on 'Edit Web Control' and then click 'Kids Only', and close. Now your child is guarded against websites that hold potential dangers.

Chat rooms pose very serious dangers to children, since anyone can go into these rooms. Often predators frequent these areas, in order to draw children into their dangerous network. In the AOL browser, click on 'Safety' and then click on 'Parental Controls'.

In the same way, click on the 'Edit IM Controls', 'Edit E-mail Controls', and 'Edit Chat Control' and follow the same steps as you did to instigate the 'Parental Controls'.

It is a good idea to install passwords. Having passwords will offer additional safety for your child. However, do not give your child the passwords, because this will give the child control over the Internet connection, and the child might also reset the controls.

It is also wise to activate your 'Popup Controllers' too, since if you do not turn on the controls, pop ups could carry something that will corrupt your system or popup adult content, which your child will see when online. You can go into 'AOL Safety' at the toolbar to set these popup controls.

If you are using Internet Explorer, open a page. Click on 'Tools' at the top menu, click 'Popup Blocker' and then click 'Popup Blocker Settings'. Read the information carefully and set the program at medium. Medium is standard and will block most pop ups. If you put the settings higher than medium you might find it difficult to open websites for browsing.

Some of the dangers posed to children online include: Internet Porn; Child Porn; Child Sexual Abuse; Mobile Porn; and more. As you can see, your child is at serious risk, and if you want to master safety, you have to monitor, and take the steps to safeguard your child against online dangers.

According to recent surveys, students have encountered sexual malpractices through webcams, instant messengers, and mobile phones. Further studies reveal that pornographic websites are making more profit than each of CBS, ABC, and NBC television channels in a year. The studies claim that the largest group that views porn sites are children. These children are between the ages of twelve and seventeen.

The results revealed that around 74% of all the porn sites had uncontrolled banners, while another 66% of the websites did not issue 'adult content' warnings. Moreover, another 11% of the sites did not have 'sexually explicit content' warnings and 25% trapped their visitors by not allowing them to leave their websites. Only 3% of the websites out of more than 14 millions adult websites requested adult permission for minors to visit. So, protect your child now!

Show That You Are Prepared With A Taser Holster

By Steve Thibeault

Unfortunately, we live in in a very dangerous environment and we should make sure that everyone of us has adequate protection. Whilst we can normally rely on a great police force for our fundamental requirements, the officers are not able to be in all places at all times. As criminals often look for opportunistic situations, you should consider carrying a self-defense product at all times, such as a taser.

When you are looking to defend yourself in an attack situation, the taser is one of the most fearsome weapons available to you. Whilst the product is nonlethal, it's very appearance in your hand is often enough to deter the would-be assailant. If it does not deter, a deployment of the taser will render the criminal incapacitated. The weapon is very effective, but it is only as effective as its accessibility and you should make sure that you have an especially designed taser holster.

One of the main reasons for owning a taser is to take advantage of its capabilities in an emergency situation. It makes no sense to hide the item within a handbag or deep within trouser pockets. You must make sure that you can access your weapon as quickly as possible and you should keep it in a taser holster.

Doing a potential attack, your emotions may make you a little confused and add to the amount of time taken before you can react. Don't give the criminal that element of surprise and make sure that you react immediately by removing your taser from an easily accessible taser holster.

When shopping for a taser holster make sure that you buy the correct product. Whilst the actual guns come in a variety of different sizes and designs, you should look to see that the holster displays the design code indicating its match. Double check to make sure that your taser gun fits correctly and is ready for action.

Many taser holsters also have room to carry extra cartridges. The taser works by firing electrodes using an explosive emission of compressed air. Each time you deploy it you will need to load a new cartridge.

Invest in your security by buying a taser gun and make sure that you back it up with the proper accessories, such as a taser holster. You need to make sure that the item is durable, ideally is made of leather and nylon and is waterproof.

The majority of crooks are criminals of opportunity and may see you as being potentially vulnerable. However, they will definitely back away when confronted with a taser and will probably avoid you altogether if they can actually see that you are wearing the weapon in an accessible taser holster.

What Do Omega 3 Fatty Acids Have To Do With Fetal Development?

By Peter Bertonich

There is a fat called DHA that is found right throughout our bodies. It is called an essential fatty acid, and it is essential in fetal brain development as well as other aspects of fetal development.

And it is also found in breast milk.

A developing fetus or baby cannot produce enough DHA in it's own body, so it gets it's supply from it's mother. Before birth they get it from the placenta, and after birth they get it from her breast milk. And for this reason a pregnant or nursing woman is losing some of her supply of DHA every day.

For this reason experts recommend an Omega 3 supplement to mothers to be and breast feeding mothers. Both to supplement the DHA that baby is getting, and to maintain their own supplies. There are other supplements also recommended for pregnant or nursing mothers, like folic acid, but Omega 3 fats high in DHA are now on the list.

DHA supplementation is essential for fetal brain and eye development, and other aspects of fetal development.

There are several recommendations for the amount of DHA to be taken each day, recommendations vary around 200 to 300 mg per day. And we are unlikely to get enough DHA, or omega 3 acids, through our diet.

Fish oil is the major, though not the only, source of DHA. Omega 3 fats found in fish are high in DHA. However there are some experts that are suggesting that moms do not take fish oil supplements high in DHA.

These experts are a little wary of fish oil supplements because fish, particularly the top end of the food chain type of fish that is high in Omega 3 can be contaminated with some nasty contaminants found in the sea, like PCBs and mercury, and others.

And there are some fish oil supplements that contain some of these heavy metals.

There are very strict international standards for the levels of contamination accepted in Omega 3 supplements. The company that makes the very best Omega 3 supplements believes that their supplements should be free of any contaminants, and seek to make their products to a standard way stricter than the international standards. Their Omega 3 fish oils supplements are free of any form of chemical contamination, because they use a fish that is found in the cleanest part of the worlds oceans, they process the fish in a particular way then they decontaminate to an extreme degree.

So there now seems to be little doubt that mothers and pregnant women ought to be taking the best Omega 3 supplements high in DHA, for both their own health and the health and development of their babies.

Fortunately there are now clean Omega 3 fish oil supplements available that eliminate the need to worry about chemical contamination. Visit my website to find out where to source these.

Are Omega 3 Fats Important To Fetal Development?

By Peter Bertonich

DHA is an essential fatty acid found right through your body, and in particular your brain.

Feel Safe with a Home Security Camera

By Darren Smith

More and more, individuals nowadays are opting to install a home security camera in their residences to defend themselves and their property. There are a lot of options when it comes to these equipment, and there is a big range of costs too, according to what you wind up opting for.

Many units are made to keep an eye on a particular section of the home and can be hooked up to your television or PC by way of a cable. Other units are wireless and will broadcast via the internet, so you can monitor your residence from the convenience of your computer at work. Another alternative is a dome camera that can keep an eye on a much larger area than a standard camera because of its shape. But these are more usually utilized for companies rather than as part of a home security system.

Lots of people invest in hidden units, also called nanny cams. These pieces of equipment are purposely hidden away inside of the home so that you will be able to keep an eye on distantly the activities of people within your home without them knowing about it. They are known as nanny cams because they are frequently utilized to observe the babysitter or nanny who is caring for the children while the parents are at work or otherwise away from the home. They can be very informative if you believe that there is neglect or abuse happening.

Some other varieties of security cameras are wireless and are integrated with your security arrangement by means of routers which means the video can be played back on a monitor via the internet. These units are often part of a total home security system that is watched by a company for a monthly charge. If the unit indicates a concern, the company will alert the police or fire department on your behalf.

A few cameras transmit in black and white and others can be seen in color, according to your preferences. The screens which they are hooked up to can be set up so that more than a single view is presented at any given time. Or you can switch to a different channel for every camera view. You can also be given notification by email or text message if movement is revealed on your land, as is the situation with a motion detection camera.

Some folks, however, don't have loads of cash to expend on the best home security units. There's an option for them as well - it's called a dummy unit. You can buy convincing cameras that don't actually function and locate them here and there in the home. They cost roughly fourteen dollars each. These units have lights and they can move, so a trespasser will think that he is being monitored. There are also wires that make the units seem to be even more convincing. They're believed to be a very good deterrent to individuals who are planning on breaking into your residence.

About the Author:

No one should have to live in fear of having their home broken into. In reality, though, it happens a lot, and that's why you need to install a good home security system. Fortunately, there are lots of ways that you can make your home more secure. Learn more at Best Home Security.

Five Steps to a Punch!

By Al Case

What is the difference between your punch, and the punch of somebody like Mas Oyama, who could kill a bull? If you dissected his body you wouldn't find any significant differences between his fists and yours. So what did he have that you don't have.

What he had, aside from a humungous helping of belief in himself, was the correct data on how to make a punch. That he had the data was obvious, for he couldn't kill a bull without this data. Here is the data that he had to have.

One must learn how to draw an energetical connection to planet earth. This involves letting/making the energy go through the legs and into the ground. This is actually easily done if you practice your forms while relaxing and breathing to the tan tien and letting the energy sink downwards.

Second, when you punch you must punch in conjunction with a leg push. Your entire body weight must be induced to go into the action of punching. You have your body weight times the velocity created by your leg push on one hand, and maybe twenty pounds of arm times velocity on the other hand.

Third, hip alignment is crucial People quite frequently turn their hips so that they actually break the line of energy through the body. To test this factor, simply have somebody push on your punch and turn your hips back and forth you find the best and most efficient line of energy between fist and ground.

Fourth, One must keep the shoulders from raising up. If you raise the shoulders the energy goes up and out of the shoulder, and not through the body and into the ground. Again, have somebody push on your extended fist and lower and raise the shoulder and examine how the energy flows.

Fifth, you must snap the arm in an instant and focus energy in the fist, and keep the shoulder low and turn the hips, and push with the legs and ground, all at the same time. This is called Coordinated Body Motion--CBM.

Do all this and you know that you're ready. You're ready to go over the fence and wave your backside at that 500 pound hamburger named Beelzebub. Don't worry, I'll film the whole thing from the top of this shack over here.

What is Kata Really Worth?

By Al Case

Bruce Lee did his best to kill the kata. "Why should anybody do forms," he queried. And, the one that most people remember, "Boards don't fight back!"

Unfortunately, Bruce was wrong. Forms are fantastic training tools. If they do have shortcomings in them these problems can easily be corrected.

First and foremost, when doing a form, one gets one heck of a work out. With ten minutes for an average karate form, do a form a twelve times and you will be sweating like a gosh darned pig. They don't only make for good body calisthetics, but they are n excellent cardio workout.

Within a form you will find a virtually unlimited number of techniques. Not everybody will like and use every techniques. People prefer different things, and they have different shapes and sizes, and so on.

But with such a vast array of potential techniques to choose from, the wealth of knowledge in a form is absolutely stunning. And every move has variations and permutations and deviations. It is easy and fun to sort through all these techniques and select the ones you like, and then make them work within the imperfect playground of a battlefield.

The real blessing of kata isn't just found in the vast array of potential techniques or body conditioning. The real blessing is something else altogether. The real blessing can be defined in a simple word labeled 'control.'

A fight is, at heart, the defining example of out of control. A person who has gotten in a fight has lost control. Thus, to win in a fight is to have control.

People, you see, practice controlling themselves by practicing kata. A person is is controlling himself if he is practicing kata. Really, it doesn't matter if they win a fight if they have lost the battle for themselves.

Secrets of the Pop Kick!

By Al Case

The best kick I know, nobody else knows it. This is a funny thing, but it's true, at least, I never see anybody else use it. Not in the MMA, not in tournaments, not even in good, old regular dojo freestyle.

This kick is as instantaneous as thought, but if I don't pull it and land it softly, I'm going to break a bunch of my opponent's ribs. To be truthful, this kick is probably the most powerful kick in all the martial arts. When I use it it always scores, and I mean big time.

The replacement spin side kick is what I call this kick--but I simply refer to it as the Pop Kick. When I use it I turn my back to my opponent, I can't even see him. Yet, the kick shakes his ribcage every single time.

When you make this kick, you first have to be able to fight out of a horse stance. This is easily done, but there is a weakness to it. Obviously, you have turned your side, and your body is half closed.

Because of this I make the position temporary when I fight out of a horse stance. I usually let myself be outstrategied into a bad position, and thus the opponent never expects what is about to come. This makes the surprise of my opponent even greater.

Now, you've got to learn how to switch feet effectively. To practice for this switch I assume a horse stance and learn how to let the energy pop from my tan tien, I envision snapping the fingers--very important--the switching of the legs is just like the snapping of fingers.

Take a stance next a wall, and, when switching the feet, relax, breath easily, and pop the foot so you spin to the rear and land it gently upon the wall. Be totally synchronous, and let one foot land on the wall, and the other foot land on the floor. The trick is to relax and see the kick in your mind--just let the thought of the kick pop.

Do you see the magic here? It works because I am practicing kicking at the speed of thought, and the kick becomes virtually instantaneous, like the movement of a magicians fingers when he pulls that ace out of the deck. I start from one stance, the other fellow thinking that he's got me because he's shutting my body to the side, and wacko cracko, I pop a side kick from the wrong side. The instant coordination, the sudden drop of the weight, the pure strength of the side kick, the unexpectedness of it all, they all combine to make a mofo kick that can't be stopped.

How Do You Get Omega 3 Fats In Your Diet?

By Peter Bertonich

I've been taking omega 3 fish oil supplements for a long time, to me it seems pretty obvious, and the evidence is overwhelming, that our diet is too low in omega 3 fatty acids and we need to introduce more of them in our diet. And that our intake of omega 3 fats is directly linked to our health in so many ways.

When telling a friend about this recently he told me that he would never consider taking supplements of any kind, that they are frowned on by the mainstream medical profession, and that they aren't proven to do anything at all. So I decided to have a look at this.

Because there seems to be the perception that dietary supplements are a bit of voodoo, something that makes money for the people who make them, but quite unnecessary.

And plenty of people also see the taking of dietary supplementation as "alternative" and not recognized by the medical profession. That real people won't take them.

So lets consider whether there are down to earth recognized medical authorities that recommend the intake of Omega 3 oils and fats.

No lesser authority than the American Heart Association says:

"Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart of healthy people, and those at high risk of " or who have " cardiovascular disease."

And they offer recommendations for the intake of omega 3 fats. Their recommendations are that we eat around 2 servings of fish a week. They also suggest eating other sources of omega 3 acids like tofu, soybeans and various oils like canola.

And they are quite specific about people with CHD (coronary heart disease). They should eat at least 1 gram of EPA and DHA per day, and for those who need to lower their triglycerides its suggested that they take from 2 to 4 grams of EPA and DHA as capsules, doctor supervised.

You cant get any clearer than that. The AHA recommends the intake of omega 3 fats, preferably as food but also as capsules, every day.

Now there's no problem taking more omega 3 fats through the diet, in fact if you can do that then that's ideal. However that isn't so easy for us in some cases. I'll give you can example.

There is omega 3 in something most of us eat every day. Beef and lamb. Well there is if they are grass fed, but as most of the beef and lamb we eat daily is now grain fed there isn't much omega 3 fats in them now.

So whilst it may seem like an easy answer to get our Omega 3 in our diet, that isn't so easy. And that is confirmed in studies.

And if you're wondering where the mainstream medical acceptance of Omega 3 supplementation is, start with the AHA. They're pretty mainstream. There's nothing 'alternative" about taking Omega 3 capsules to the AHA.

The Ultimate Tool in the Martial Arts!

By Al Case

The deadliest tool I know, in the martial arts, is also the one least used. I am talking about the actual and effective use of space. Space, if properly understood and utilized, can win any fight.

Space is nothing, is emptiness, is the absence of objects. Just ask any light beam and you will find that space is also the greatest conductor of visual perception. Space is not understood by most martial artists, and it is very...zen.

Space is the distance between your opponent and you. You can control the fight If you can control the space between you and your opponent. In any fight this should be the first strategy.

Space is the perception of your body. This is important if you realize that by relaxing you can perceive more, and thereby create more space. If you can create more space in this manner, you can create more potential for motion.

When you execute a negative strike you are utilizing space. By being unaffected by energy and emotion (emotion contains, and can stop, a high degree of energy), by throwing the mass of the body, by taking energy out of your strike, your strike will be ten times harder. Simply, treat your body as if it is nothing but an object, and throw it at your opponent.

If you understand the space created by not having consideration for your opponent, then you will understand the space of the last paragraph. This is what I used to call The Dead Strike. Simply, there was no consideration for life when I threw the object and mass of my body at somebody.

The most important space is the space of your thoughts. Thoughts don't occupy space, so you should concentrate your efforts not on moving by muscle, but on moving by thought. By reducing muscular effort and moving by thought, you will be able to move far faster than you ever thought possible.

Humanities real final frontier is that of thought. The source of all motion is thought. Relax and have thought, create space, and you will have the real Secret of the True Martial Arts.
