In MMA one the worst positions you can be in, is on your back while your opponent has mounted you. A variety of submissions can easily be obtained via this position but more importantly it is very easy for him/her to strike you to the face whilst keeping his/her own out of range for you to not strike back.
Also many people tend to start panicking from this position and tend to forget that
Last week one of my readers asked a question: Which is better? Recessed lights or surface mount ceiling lights for basement lighting?For starters basements typically have a lower ceiling height than the main floors. Most modern construction today results in the ceiling joists (1st floor joists) being 7'-6" above the concrete slab in the basement. So the first consideration will be head room if you

The best part about the project so far is I have the first spike growing. Here is my first project for the growing project. I took a coconut and with a machette I split it in half leaving 1 side still attached. Then I took orchid moss and let it soak in some worm tea water. I drilled a couple holes so I could tie the phals down in the coconut shell. Then I placed each 1 in each side being careful to pack plenty of moss in between the roots. These are the pictures of my project.Come Watch my Plants Grow

Many restaurants can greatly benefit from purchasing a wall mounted smoking shelter since smoking has been banned in public places throughout the United Kingdom. The ban placed in effect in July sends many grumbling customers outdoors to enjoy a cigarette before, during or after their meal. Smokers must stand outside during the cold and rainy months, getting annoyed as they try to enjoy a simple cigarette.Improve your restaurants customer satisfaction and generate more people to your restaurant through the use of a wall mounted smoking shelter. Your customers will be happy that you have this kind of unit available to them. No longer will they have to worry about the elements as they enjoy a smoke, a smoking shelter will protect them from the elements.A wall mounted smoking shelter is made
Good except for two things.

Wall mounted fountains are an absolutely excellent choice for adding a focus piece on an indoor or outdoor wall that is otherwise drab. Wall mounted fountains can also be outstanding for dressing up any area that only provides a limited amount of floor space. Hanging wall fountains can add character to a space while also offering relaxation and serenity. The concept of wall mounted fountains offers a variety of different makes and unique styles, which means that no matter what your tastes are, you can find a fountain that meet your needs. This may include a contemporary fountain design, or even a more traditional design of hanging wall fountains. Most wall mounted fountains are built to function both indoor and outdoor as well, meaning that wherever you need a special element, you can use

There was a cop on his horse waiting to cross the road when a little boy on his new shiny bike stopped beside him.
”Nice bike,” the cop said, ”did Santa bring it to you?”
”Yep,” the little boy said, ”he sure did!”
The cop looked at the bike and while handing the boy a $20 ticket he said, ”Next year, tell Santa to put a license plate on the back of it.”
To go along with the cop, the little boy said, ”Nice horse you got there sir, did Santa bring it to you?” ”Yes, He sure did,” said the cop.
The little boy looked up at the cop and said, ”Next year tell Santa to put the dick underneath the horse instead of on top.”

The solution: GoPro, a little company with a big idea, has rendered these Kodak moments attainable with its tiny, technological titan called the Digital Hero Camera. Encased in an airtight plastic housing, this matchbook-sized camera straps to your wrist (or handlebars or kayak paddle) to capture thrills and spills as they happen.
Make no mistake, The Digital Hero Camera is not for professionals. On the other hand, for amateurs looking to take some fun shots while in the field, in the water, or on the slopes; The Digital Hero Camera rules.

Awesome device for marathon runners This is a great device. I was shocked by how well it works and all it can do. I no longer have to run on pre-planned routes to keep track of my mileage. I don't have to worry about pace or distance in races that don't have mile markers. All this information is on the watchface and can be uploaded to my computer and permanently stored at the touch of a button. It also keeps track of calories burned and shows your routes in gps format on the computer. It is extremely user-friendly. The only drawback is the size. I have a small wrist and it is kind of heavy. Definitely worth its weight though. I'm sure Garmin is working on this aspect for future models. If there is a distance runner on your X-mas list--this is the ultimate gift.

Not enough floor space in that garage, dorm, or studio apartment for the bike? Hoist it up high and store it out of the way with the ingenious bike lift from Racor. A unique rope locking mechanism prevents accidental release while the pulley design lightens the load for easy lifting. Bikes can be hoisted up to ceilings 12 feet high. Just secure the bike lift to the ceiling and you're set. Everything is included for installation with no assembly required. Best of all, solid steel construction safely lifts bikes weighing up to 50 pounds for easy storage of monstrous incumbents, two-seaters and more. With the Racor ceiling mount bike lift, you get more floor space-and easy access to your favorite ride!
This room is an excellent example of ceiling mounted curtains behind a fixed pelmet or cornice.This space has a wonderful collection of features and dramatic use of pattern and color as a feature wall. The damask look wallpaper provides the room with definite personality and is unmistakably the focal point with the television screen centered on the wall. The curtains are functional in this room, they provide a softer subtle backdrop allowing diffused light to filter into the room. The choice of a natural color sheer fabric means that it is not competing for attention with the feature wall.This type of curtain track, ceiling mounted track, is not used often in homes but is very popular in apartments or where there is full height glazing to a wall as often there are no available fixing points on the wall to mount a track.

The release of this device is a major achievement from a design and technology perspective. This isn't just marketing-speak; the Forerunner 205 is the most accurate, most reliable wrist-mounted performance and GPS tracking tool we've ever tested. Yes, it's that good. While no device this compact can do everything (yet), the 205 pushes the boundaries of what is possible from something strapped around your wrist. While the 205 doesn't offer heart rate monitoring, or connectivity with Garmin's wireless speed and cadence sensor -- for that, you'll need to step up to the Forerunner 305 -- but it's a great way to get basic GPS location and performance data.

Not content with having surveillance cameras on every street corner, the UK is now about to fit police officers with head mounted video cameras. These 'head-cams' will be able to store up to 400 hours of footage with soundtrack on their hard drive. The ‘head cams’ have already been tested in Plymouth which showed that these "body worn video devices" led to an increase in the proportion of crimes where the offender was brought to justice compared with incidents where the cameras were not used.Before they can be used in an area the local police have to advertise the fact that they will be using this new type of surveillance gear with posters such as: "Glass head", "Police, camera, action!", "Handcuffed" and "Video Screen". When an officer is using the ‘head cam’ they will also have to display a sign informing the public that they will be using the device. Maybe a bid arrow on their head stating ‘You are being filmed, be careful what you do’….Source: Thisislondon

This may be old-ish by now, but we have not heard of any other wall mounted home theatre projector, so here goes. Hard working contributor Magnus I.B. mailed in this tip, and we are truly sorry it has been sitting in the mail bag for so long. The LG AN110 was the first (and at the time the only) home theatre projector that could be put on a wall, or placed on a small stand like in the picture above. Maybe it still is. Maybe not. In any case it is pretty smart, and had it been around a couple of years ago, we could have saved ourselves a bunch of holes in the ceiling... The LG AN110 won a design award in the Red Dot Awards 2006. Thanks, Magnus, for letting us know!

One of my friends a couple of years back managed to get her year ten work experience at the Mounted Police of Victoria, Australia. She thoroughly enjoyed herself, getting to do general stable duties with the horses and also view the sort of training that the animals and riders went through.
If you have an interest in policing and the law and love your horses, perhaps this line of a career is worth investigating? I believe you have to be at a certain rank as a police officer before being able to focus on the specialised area of the mounted police. Ranking works from Constable to Senior and Leading Senior Constable, Sergeant, Senior Sergeant and all the way up to Chief Commissioner.

The Mounted Police Unit is extremely useful when high profile police presence is a must. Mounted officers are better suited for crowd control situations where the use of foot patrol officers is not desirable or effective. It is said that one Mounted Officer is able to out perform ten officers on foot when moving large crowds of people. Pictured above is the latest Mounted Police Equitation Simulator (MPES). Certification for the Mounted Police Unit consists of a grueling 3 hour (20 quarter) saddle-sore endurance test.
