Usually fishing fanatics have issues regarding the storage of their fishing rods and their display areas. If you are such a person who is thinking about creating the perfect area for displaying and storing your fishing rods, all in one unit, then you need to shop for a fishing rod rack that is stylish and durable as well. A number of fishing rod racks are available in the market today and if fishing has captured your imagination very recently, then, it would be hard to choose between a multitude of such racks. This article is your personal guide to buy the ideal fishing rod rack, to take care and most definitely show off your fishing tools.

The choice of fishing rod racks depends largely on your wants and needs. Initially you might want to buy indoor rod racks. Generally, there are many categories into which fishing rod racks are classified, based on the use that they will be put to. Among the other classifications, the ones made specifically for indoor display, car display, boats, ocean fishing and shore fishing are the ones mostly known. If you are new to fishing, you might want to look out for features of fishing rod racks whenever you are out shopping.

Display rod rack is one of the most commonly used rod holder that can be seen in vacation and camping sites. Many fishermen would love to create their own rod racks; however, investing on a ready-to-assemble rod rack kit is the best option. It can be said that experts recommend this as it makes it easier for beginners and fanatics to know what features they would like to have in their own project next time.

There are fishing rod racks designed specifically for display of fishing rods in the vehicles and are called vehicle rod racks. They can be mounted inside a van and can be used for storing rods either horizontally or vertically.

Here's a tip for first time shoppers: two aspects of a fishing rod rack need to be thoroughly checked, namely, the shock cord closure and the mounting option. These are primarily responsible for keeping the rods in placed during transfers or ride in vehicles. The first option that needs to be checked is the capacity of the shock cord. Next, the mounting option needs to be appropriately decided. Though we may all have different views and outlook, vertical mounting of the rods is generally not preferred as it quite often blocks the windows and view. It also obstructs the passengers on their way out of the vehicles.

Ocean fishing rod racks are ones in which the saltwater rods that are very big can be stored. They mostly deal with large fishes that are heavy too. An angler can essentially choose between holders with special chairs and a swiveling holder.

Rods which are designed with holders of which are adjustable are known as swivelling rods. These rods can specifically determine the exact location of the pole- a feature that helps the angler to keep away from any kind of problem, and also assists him to enjoy his fishing game, no matter what the weather condition is. Anglers who have special interest towards big fishing games can also invest in chairs in which safety fighting belts and harnesses are pre-installed.

Dallas Cowboys' quarterback Tony Romo has been plagued by inconsistency over the past two seasons, but on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons he was in top form. Romo threw for 311 yards and 3 touchdowns with no interceptions as Dallas ripped the visiting Falcons by a final score of 37-21. Backup receiver Miles Austin had another solid game in place of injured starter Roy Williams, with 171 yards receiving and two touchdown grabs. Both teams are now 4-2 on the NFL season.

NFL betting enthusiasts who backed Dallas as -5' home favorite were rewarded with a pointspread victory. The Cowboys evened their mark against the NFL pointspread at 3-3, while Atlanta slipped to 4-2 against the number.

In his postgame comments to the media, Romo gave props to the undrafted Austin for making the best of his opportunity:

"He's definitely a big part of this offense. I'm glad to see all his hard work and effort is paying off."

Dallas owner Jerry Jones commended Romo on his big game:

"I think that you've got a wiser and you've got a more experienced Tony Romo than of old, and I think you see he's still got some of that instinctive thing that he can make plays and make winning plays."

The Cowboys' defense pestered the Falcons' Matt Ryan into two interceptions, and 34 year old Keith Brooking was a big part of that. Based on his comments after the game, there may be some 'sour grapes' after he was cut loose by the Falcons after 11 seasons in an Atlanta uniform:

"The last thing I was told by one of the coaches is this is a young man's game. I guess an old man can still play in this league."

Patrick Crayton returned a punt for a touchdown and caught a Romo pass for another. Cowboys' coach Wade Phillips had this praise for him:

"Crayton is the kind of guy you want on your football team. He's going to make plays when he has opportunities."

Losing quarterback Matt Ryan had little to say about the defeat:

"It's frustrating because we feel we can play better."

Atlanta has a difficult road challenge ahead as they travel south to face the red hot New Orleans Saints next Monday night. The Falcons have been installed as +10 road underdogs with the total set at 54. Dallas will host the Seattle Seahawks this weekend, with the Cowboys a -9' home favorite and the total set at 45. They'll play on the road the following two Sundays against the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been playing the Cleveland Browns for longer than any other team in the National Football League, dating back to 1950. And while it hasn't been quite that long since the Cleveland Browns won a game against the Steelers it may be starting to feel like it. On Sunday, Pittsburgh won for the twelfth straight time dating back to 2003 as they topped Cleveland by a final score of 27-13. The defending Superbowl champions improved to 4-2 while the Browns fell to 1-5.

The good news for NFL betting enthusiasts who took the +13' with the Browns as a road underdog is that they managed to cover the pointspread by the slimmest of possible margins. Betting against the defending Superbowl champion is a long standing handicapping concept, and this season at least its worked like a charm-the Steelers have only covered one of their first six games. Cleveland, meanwhile, evened their NFL pointspread record at 3-3 on the season. The Browns have covered three straight after dropping their first three both straight up and against the spread. The 40 combined points went OVER the posted total of 37'.

Pittsburgh dominated the game in virtually every statistical category. They amassed 28 first downs to 12 for Cleveland, held a 543 to 197 total yardage advantage and a 36:46 to 23:14 time of possession advantage. Most of the post game talk from both sides was about a controversial spot in the first half where the Steelers were given a first down on a short yardage play when it appeared that they didn't make the required yardage.

After the contest, Derek Anderson spoke of the frustration of continually coming up short against the Steelers. The Browns have only one once in ten games since Pittsburgh moved into their new home at Heinz Field:

"We're not trying to lose every time we go out here. We put tons of hours in and ... it's frustrating. Every single week, it's frustrating."

Steelers' tight end Heath Miller said the team is happy to be where they are at this point despite not playing up to their standards:

"I think we haven't played our best ball yet and that's pretty comforting. We've gotten a few wins here without playing our best."

The Steelers will host Brett Favre and the 6-0 Minnesota Vikings next Sunday. The Steelers are a -4 home favorite with the total set at 45. After a bye week, the Steelers will hit the road to play another undefeated team as they take on the Denver Broncos on Monday, November 9. Cleveland will host the Green Bay Packers this Sunday, with the Browns a +7 home underdog and the total set at 42'. They'll head to 'The Windy City' to face the Chicago Bears the following Sunday and then have a bye week.

I above all people was skeptical if I could honestly make $150 per day working with Gamer Testing Ground playing the newest releases of games and checking for problems. All my friends did not believe when I told them I was a professional video game tester. I had my own doubts until I decided to take action and look into becoming a professional video game tester.

After having now tested video games for over six months I can share with you that I have a wonderful and exciting job. The truth is because so many do doubt that there are fewer game testers full time than there is a demand. Let me give you some information about Gamer Testing Ground.

Why Do The Big Video Gaming Companies Even Need Testers?

Gamer Testing Ground connects you with the top gaming companies around the world who are looking for game players to test out their newest games before official release. After getting to know some of the game programmers in the companies, they now trust my gaming ability, and are needing more game testers currently. The reason is because programmers are not going to spend their time playing their own games. They have to spend all their time making improvements and updates to make sure the previous versions are are working correctly, as a result they are willing to pay for it.

How Much Money Can You Make With Gamer Testing Ground?

I need to make sure to say this first. You need to be someone who loves playing video games before you visit the site, otherwise you will be bored quickly. The truth is it does pay well (I now make around $175/day and the top gamers are making $120/hour) because the more I test the more I find what they are looking for as a professional tester. Honestly, not everyone is willing to play video games, the truth is even if you paid them to for it.

Be Sure To Visit Gamer Testing Ground

The single reason why I have decided to now this full time is because the pay is excellent and I enjoy playing the latest video games. It is a very steady stream of great income and I no longer need to look for part time jobs. Another advantage is the simple fact that I do this all from home. There are countless games being released making over $50 billion this year alone, the job opportunities continue to grow and my work will never run out.

The Ravens were one of those football teams that got stronger and stronger as the season progressed. Rookie QB Joe Flacco continued to develop through the course of the 2008 NFL season and looked almost like a veteran by the end of the season.

With the leadership of Joe Flacco and a stellar defense, the Baltimore Ravens finished the season 11-5, 2nd in the AFC North. 2009 may be the "year" for the Ravens. They can build on the team's success 08' and take it one step further, Super Bowl XXIV in Miami, Florida.

While most of the 2008 Ravens team is still intact, the loss of their defensive mastermind Rex Ryan (who is now head coach in New York for the Jets) led many to wonder whether the team could keep up its level of superiority when it came to defense.

Would the Baltimore Ravens still be a great defensive team, or would Ryan's departure lead to the demise of this defensive unit? The team certainly has some great talents in Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, but Lewis is aging and the fate of this defense would be uncertain.

Through two weeks of the NFL season, the defense in Baltimore has let up more points than usual. The 50 points allowed through the first two weeks of the season are very high for the Ravens, but it hasn't mattered much as the team is now 2-0 to start the year. The high-octane offense in Baltimore has eased concerns for now.

The Ravens are averaging over 400 yards in total offense per game thus far. With the combination of a consistent offense and a defense that still strikes fear in other teams, there is no telling how far the Ravens can go.

Joe Flacco has made use of his receivers, but more importantly, a three-headed monster at running back between Ray Rice, Willis McGahee, and Le'Ron McClain makes for one of the best trios (if not the best) in the NFL.

If Joe Flacco keeps this level of play going, he will have another stellar year. The Ravens are dangerous in 2009.

Horticulturists and home gardeners are known to get grimy from rooting around in soil to eliminate weeds and apply pesticides and fertilizers. They are constantly planting, dividing, and replanting. They take these steps to enjoy the rewards of growing plants that are both beautiful and nutritious to eat or view. What if these values could be derived without having to ever touch soil?

Hydroponics is the science of growing healthy plants without the use of soil. The most common medium used for this is water. There are definitely definitions that are more technically accurate, but for the occasional teacher, home gardener, or hobbyist, this definition is fitting.

Many people wonder how this is even possible since they know that plants require soil for nutrition, support, heat, water, and all the other factors that are needed fro growth and reproduction. While that is what most people understand about gardening, its not necessarily true. Plants absolutely require water, but they don't have to get it from soil even though that is the most common method. In nature, there are plants that grow well in gravel, sand or underneath or on top of a body of water.

Plants definitely do need water. But they needn't get it from the soil, even though that's one of the most common methods. Even in nature, some plants grow in sand, gravel or even on the surface or underneath a body of water.

The majority of plants that interest the hobbyist or home gardener will require some physical support. One of the most common ways to achieve this support is planting them in soil. When this is done the stems become wind resistant and the roots will spread. These plants wouldn't be in existence is they hadn't evolved in this manner.

However, there artificial ways to support these plants that work very well. Some of these methods include using string or ice cream sticks that have been glued to the top of the container.

One of the most important factors to growing a healthy plant is undoubtedly nutrients. Potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen, and a number of trace elements like iron, copper, and zinc are essential to plant growth. The usual way of obtaining these nutrients is by absorption from the surrounding soil. However, there are a variety of ways that the plants can receive the necessary nutrients.

Immersing the roots in a container of water that is periodically fed a liquid nutrient solution is one popular technique. There are others. Some hydroponically grown plants are housed in an enclosure that retains moisture well. The roots are then sprayed often with a mister that douses the roots with a nutrient solution. This crosses into the gray area known as aeroponics.

Hydroponics can be used to grow a wide variety of plants: strawberries, tomatoes, lettuce and many non-fruit or vegetable plants, such as orchids. The list is long. Thousands of species can thrive without soil, provided they're cared for properly. That effort can be fun and instructive. It can also produce beautiful or nutritious plants without many of the drawbacks of soil-grown plants.

You need to guarantee that you win more of your bets than you lose? There are too many approaches to gambling and only a small handful of them will show any results. Only try new systems on practice tables before you attempt to make any money with casino strategy online gambling.

The first and most common mistake is relying on personal luck and hoping for the best. Even thought you may believe that you know everything about casino games or even a sport you have chosen and the teams that you have picked, you most likely don't have a proven system to success, and you will lose in this situation.

You need a gambling system that provides a statistical approach to allow you to win more than you lose, equaling a profit. What's the point of risk without reward?

Gambling should be looked at like a business, meaning you need to go where the money is and have system to profit from it.

Whatever niche you choose to gamble, by following three simple guidelines can assure profitability in your quest for success. The result of over 30 years' gambling experience.

Lets just call these the Golden Rules. Follow them and you may probably be a winner more often, stay a winner more often, and enjoy gambling for many years to come with no downsides or regrets.

Only Gamble money that you can afford to lose. If you need the money, don't gamble.

Only Gamble about half of what you are willing to actually risk. This way, if you don't win, you will give yourself a second chance, another day. Learn to walk away.

NEVER NEVER NEVER be greedy; if you lose what you have just won, you are probably greedy, besides even though you can't go wrong with the right system, making too much money everyday will raise red flags and possibly get you blacklisted and you will lose an income for life.

Clogged drain is one of the most common plumbing issue faced at home. It is one of the most frustrating job for anyone. Liquid drain cleaners are the first resort for this problem, reason being they are easy to use, supposed to be quick and the best part is, you don't have to get your hands dirty.

One should be very careful while using these chemical products. If your home has a septic system, make sure that the cleaner specifies it is safe for use in septic systems. Different types of drain clog removers may target different types of problems and have different instructions. Make sure you follow them to get the maximum effectiveness.

If the liquid cleaner does not work, you can go for the old faithful plunger. It works on the concept of hydraulic pressure to move the blockage. The problem with this approach in a kitchen or bathroom sink is, that the drain may not be the only outlet. There are often multiple drains or overflow connections which make a plunger useless in these cases.

If a plunger does not work for you, remove the sink trap. But, before removing it, be sure to remove as much sink water as you can. And if you have already used chemicals on the drain, be very careful while working with it as there can still be some leftovers in the sink.

Check the removed trap properly. See if there is any stuck in particles. You can check the trap in some other sink to see if it is working properly or you can use a clothes hanger to remove the blockage. If you find some clogged material in the trap, remove it and then re install the trap. But, if there is no blockage in the trap, go for some other more effective plumbing tools.

Another plumbing tool that can help clear a drain clog is a plumbers snake(auger). It is a long, adjustable spring that can be inserted into the drain. It is affordable and is easily available at any plumbing store.

Put the auger into the drain. Push it down untill you find a blockage. Turn and twist the tool so that you can catch the clog into it. If it is a hard substance, it can take some time to get out but softer clogs can be easily removed with water pressure.

If neither the drain cleaners nor the plumbing tools work for you, it is better to call a profesional plumber as it is better to leave some jobs for the experts only. These are talented people and are capable enough to handle any kind of complicated tasks. They can also suggest you the preventive measures that you should follow in future to take care of your plumbing system.

It can be a painfully frustrating process trying to get rid of gophers from your lawn. But instead of trying every possible trick, method and system, why not find someone who has tried them all and then let them tell you the best way to get rid of gophers.

The first step in eradicating these annoying pests, is to find out about their habits and behaviors, understand what they're doing and why exactly, they are burrowing under your lawn and causing you such grief!

Did you know that when a gopher digs through your lawn, they are not just damaging the beautiful landscape... they are pulling up roots, exposing rocks that can damage garden equipment, providing fresh tilled soil for weeds to take root into and harming the vegetation that is left underneath the piles of dirt they push out of their tunnels.

Here's a small list of some of the methods you can try to get rid of gophers: *Trapping - this is the most common but may require a bit of practice in order to get it right. *Exclusion - where you fence off a particular are of your garden that you want to make sure the gophers can't get into. Use small mesh fencing or plastic netting. *Flooding - this has limited success as the gophers can retreat to an area of the burrows and then close off the tunnels. *Gassing - same as above *Poison pellets - easy to use but care must be taken regarding other animals such as pet dogs or cats. *Repellents - synthetic predator odors

All these methods have their merits, but the important fact is... it needs to be something that works, and works permanently. I've been frustrated by gophers invading my lawn so I've written a blog about my experiences and what I've learnt.

Electrical issues and irregularities demand a timely examination and the relevant solution. If ignored these minor faults can take the shape of a potential hazard. Such negligence is often a consequence of the absence of basic electrical testing tools at your home.

The list includes the basic testing tools as well the purpose-specific ones. The voltage testers fall under the category of basic testing tools while the GFCI testers, AC line splitters, outlet testers etc. are the specialized one. However it is vital to make a place for the full-fledged electrical tests in your weekly roster. Certain guidelines that one can follow to handle and use these testing tools effectively are stated below.

Voltage tester is an electrical testing tool that cuts short the laborious task of understanding the state of a faulty electric circuit/outlet. Connect the two probes of the tester to the respective terminals of the appliance keeping the current supply active. A glowing neon bulb of the tester would approve the conduction of current in the circuit. If no neon glow is noticed then some fault is speculated.

Generally a two-wire neon tester is inexpensive enough to be the first choice but alternatively, a plug tester can be used. The maximum permissible limit of voltage shouldn't exceed 500 volts. Also electric test pens are a popular choice courtesy their simple apparatus and ease of use.

Besides the voltage testers, the GFCI( Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) testers are used in the spaces where water is expected to come in direct contact with the electrical setup such as bathrooms and lawns.

To preform three-level testing on the faulty electric junction, a digital multimeter can be used. It can check a particular circuit for its resistance, current and the voltage units. That in turn fuels the further development on the fault.

Specialized testing devices and instruments such as AC line splitters and circuit breaker identifiers are a plus in the scheme of things. AC line splitters help in differentiating between the live wires and the neutral wires while the circuit breaker identifiers are used to explore the circuit that has witnessed a breakdown lately.

Off course the electricians typical tools such as pliers and screwdrivers are likely to be used in the overall testing project.

Hydroponic gardening is a cultivation technique that uses only water as a growth medium. This method has been researched for lots of years and is used by many home growers.

Hydroponics is the growing system that utilizes just nutrient filled water as a gardening medium. The technique was first tried when researchers initially found out that plants receive all the minerals they need in water not soil. The soil that outside plants grow in functions only as a conduit for water to reach a plants root system.

Researchers discovered that by removing soil from the cultivation process and using only water they could cultivate flowers faster and with larger crops. The technique is presently utilized by researchers who need to raise in controlled environments, amateur growers who would like to grow quality plants or flowers year round, and for cultivation in locations with no dirt

The research of hydroponics has been going on for hundreds of years but substantial progress in the topic began in the early 20th century. It was then that scientists began clinical studies to find out the limits of hydroponics and how to maximize its use. A researcher by the name of Dennis Hoagland working at UC Berkeley was able to develop several formulas for nutrient concentrations. These are now known as Hoagland solutions and are still used today.

Hydroponics was quickly put to use in environments throughout the globe that did not have adequate soil or dirt for planting crops. progress of hydroponics continued throughout the 20th century with several different techniques and techniques being created for various uses. NASA has been doing extensive examination on the area as a way to provide food for astronauts on long term voyages. scientists have made use of hydroponics to cultivate plants in a controlled setting for clinical study. currently soilless gardening of many flowers and crops is much more efficient than terrestrial methods, with equivalent crops requiring a fraction of the grow area as is required outsides.

Recently lots of amateur hydroponic systems have been created and implemented by gardening enthusiasts. These systems have allowed amateur growers to produce quality flowers year round and any location. The advancement during the last several years means that there are now more systems than in the past. Current technology has made many systems much more convenient than before; timers can simplify lots of of the regular growing chores.

Jumping in can finish up costing you a lot of cash, so perform some research, you will find some places a lot less expensive than others if you take time to research.

You can definitely find a lucrative internet marketing niche if you choose to pursue your own home-based gemstone jewelry business. If you believe your competition are those in the commercial rough cut stone industry, you are wrong. They do not regard you as their competitors ; they are included in the circle of seasoned dealers and jewelers. However joining and competing against seasoned dealers is a tricky call, you might end up stressed because it is really tough to sell stones plus it may take a little time to make a decent profit.

One great niche in the gemstone jewelry industry is dealing or making custom designed jewelry with cut stones. Designer jewelry has always and always will be extremely popular and if you can create some original designs you are bound to be able to corner part of the market. If you are reasonably new to dealing with gemstones, it's a good concept to find some care tips for jewelry as damaging only one stone can set you back lots of money. It is best to be prepared and know the way to handle your precious stones.

Another idea to make your business stand out is to address only one type of precious gem stone. If you are able to make many creative designs then you'll be seen as an authority regarding that particular stone. Having your own website will help you to grow your business and increase your sales. The cool thing about focusing on one kind of stone is that you can concentrate on promoting yourself in that particular niche only. You could become an expert and not only sell your jewelry but give folk targeted advise. The more you know about something the more folk are probably going to visit your website not only to purchase your products, but also to find any advice that they are looking for.

Setting up your online jewelry store can be a frustrating task when you first start out. Whatever niche you decide to target, you will have to plug your website as much as possible for the amount of traffic to be worthwhile and increase sales. If you are not acquainted with how to do that you may have to employ a pro that may cost a lot and also take a while. Before you even start your gemstone business you want to find out how much all this is going to cost. There is no point beginning and then half way through you find out that you can't promote your site and finish up losing a lot of cash.

Special consideration should be given to the garden potential by anyone buying a new home. This is a factor all too often ignored by purchasers who later regret their lack of foresight. You should, at the very least, be aware of the garden problems your new home will present.

Desirable Features

Whether you intend to move to a rural or to an urban area, there are certain qualities you will want your property to have. You want soil with good drainage, and land contour that can be graded without too great expense. The best type of property in these respects would be one that is gently rolling; it offers little likelihood of poor drainage, yet is not sloped enough to cause erosion. A perfectly flat piece of land can appear to be ideal for a garden, but you should first check the subsoil condition to make sure there is no "hard pan" (that is, a layer of hard-packed soil impervious to the passage of water), or even solid rock, just a few inches below the surface.

If you are considering buying an older home with an established planting, do not fail to consider the cost of replacing overgrown or unattractive shrubbery when figuring estimates of any contemplated remodeling. Correcting the landscaping mistakes of previous owners can be a costly and strenuous job.

Custom Building

The person who owns his piece of land but has not yet started to build his home is, of course, in the best position of all to plan his landscape. In that case, one of the most important decisions that can be made concerns the location of the house on the lot. It is never wise to place it in the exact center of the land area. Not only does this make the land look smaller, it also cuts the efficient use of the remainder of the property.

Where a property is less than 150 feet deep, it is wise to squeeze the home as close to the street line as possible. This allows more room in the rear of the house for development of the private and service areas of the garden, as will be explained in detail later on. One piece of good fortune enjoyed by the custom builder is that he can conserve both money and soil by judicious location of the driveway and walk. He has the added opportunity to locate his house in relation to valuable existing trees on the site.

The Pre-Built Home

It is not, however, impossible to find many or most of the desirable features of garden design in an older home, or one already put up by a builder. Besides the advantage of lower initial cost, you may also find a home where terracing, old trees, mature bushes for privacy and you can put hearty house plants, have all been incorporated. Although you are then deprived of the pleasure of making your own individual basic design, you will perhaps find equal enjoyment and certainly much less work in devising modifications of what is already there.

As a gardener, therefore, you will look for a pre-built house that is already well landscaped. Or, failing that, you will look for one whose garden you can transform without the arduous task of uprooting most of the existing vegetation.

A glance at any Best Seller list in bookshops today, will reveal a multitude of autobiographies of the rich and famous. From footballers to glamour models to empire builders, they all have their own story to tell, but each has a common theme - they overcame adversity by focusing on the positives.

This is the way the world works; to be achievers in life we must encourage positive reasons why 'we can' to flood our consciousness, and drown out negative excuses why we can't.

This attitude to studying is paramount for the student. To successfully complete a training program, an optimistic mindset is the biggest tool in a trainee's workbox. A positive approach brings about all sorts of possibilities, circumstances, answers and opportunities to achieve. By contrast, a pessimistic outlook blocks our learning receptors and thwarts creativity .

This is because of our Reticular Activation System - a mechanism that automatically tells our brain what to focus on. Over our lives, we've experienced a huge number things that no longer remain in the forefront of our minds - the majority of what we've learned moves from our conscious mind to our sub-conscious mind, a kind of cupboard that stores all our past beliefs and knowledge.

When we attempt to do something consciously, our Reticular Activation System (RAS) will go through our sub-conscious mind for any associated information it holds, and bring it into focus. As we're walking down a road, we're made aware only of things that are relevant to us - anything else is just background noise.

Therefore, if our conscious mind has generally been transferring positive, upbeat messages to our sub-conscious mind, then that's what it will send back. But if our sub-conscious has been fed a bunch of defeatist, downbeat messages, then equally that's also what will come back.

It appears that achievers can manipulate the messages going through to their sub-conscious minds by deliberately programming their RAS, and selecting the exact messages the conscious mind transfers. For achieving goals this makes it an essential tool, because the sub-conscious mind can't distinguish between real or imaginary events.

So, as it believes what it's told, we must create a really specific picture of our goal in our conscious mind. This will then pass on to our subconscious via the RAS - which will then help us to achieve our goal. This is done by bringing to our attention all the meaningful information which might otherwise have remained as 'background noise'.

The writer Napoleon Hill said that we can achieve any realistic goal if we keep focusing on that goal, and stop dwelling on any negative thoughts about it. Obviously, if we keep thinking that we can't hit a goal, our subconscious will help us not to achieve it.

Had things happened differently, Nick Diaz would forever be part of MMA history. Regardless of how his career transpired after February, 2007 he should have been remembered as part of one of the greatest fights ever. His PRIDE 33 matchup against Takanori Gomi should have created a legacy like the first Forrest Griffin/Stephan Bonnar bout, only it was better. It was a mixed martial arts version of Gatti/Ward or Castillo/Corrales 1. It should have been the biggest victory of Diazs career and the centerpiece of his highlight reel.

Unfortunately, Diazs moment of glory lasted only about six weeks. On April 10th, the Nevada Athletic Commission announced that hed failed a drug test. Diaz had tested positive for marijuana, and his THC level was off the charts. The Nevada Athletic Commission considers a THC level over 50 a positive result for marijuana usage. Nick Diazs THC level was an astounding 175 and that led NSAC Chairman Dr. Tony Alamo to speculate that in this situation marijuana was a performance enhancing drug. The rationale was that during the fight Diaz was feeling no pain"literally. Diaz was fined, suspended and the result of his almost certain fight of the year winner with Gomi changed to a no decision.

Diaz had singlehandedly removed the luster from a classic bout. Following an action packed and very close first round Gomi took control in the second. Gomi had opened a cut on Diazs face and it was bleeding a gusher. On several occasions Gomi implored the referee to stop the fight, or at least check on the cut due to the excessive blood flow. With the ref showing no signs of stopping the fight and Diaz hanging tough, Gomi took the fight to the ground and in a matter of seconds found himself forced to tap out to a gogoplata.

While Diaz might not be a bad person, hes definitely someone who attracts trouble. While the relative risk pot smoking is debatable and beyond the purview of this article one thing is certain"fighters are prohibited from its use. Sadly, it appears that Diaz places a greater value on his recreational drug use than his legacy as a professional prizefighter. Hes gone so far as to obtain a prescription for medical marijuana in California.

Ironically, Japans notoriously lax oversight of mixed martial arts makes it a perfect fit for Diaz. He doesnt have to worry about drug tests or athletic commissions who arent sympathetic to his claiming a need for medical marijuana. His workrate, conditioning and versatility as a fighter will be appreciated by the Japanese fans, and offers countless matchup opportunities for the promotion. Most significantly, perhaps, his participation with Japanese promotions DREAM or Sengoku provides Diaz the opportunity to put his missteps behind him and reassert himself as one of the sports most exciting fighters and not as a 'cautionary tale'.

Woodcraft or carpentry is a pastime for some, a passion for some. If you're bitten by the woodcraft bug, then let's say that you can prepare some of the most amazingly beautiful items of furniture out of wood. The real beauty is in your artistic creativity. Wood cabinets are a very popular project among woodcrafters for this very reason. Building a wood cabinet gives you ample opportunity to showcase your talent in every way.

This is a popular project with hobby woodcrafters. It is easily a project that lets you demonstrate your talent to the fullest. You can use a number of artistic devices to decorate the wood cabinet. The wood used for cabinet making goes all the way from pine to birch and everything in between!

When it comes to choosing a material to build a cabinet of, wood is the hands down winner, every time! Wood is evocative of a natural, timeless beauty, with deep tinges of nostalgia. A wood cabinet is highly durable too, and though it does require periodic preventive maintenance, the wood cabinet long outlasts those made of plywood and pressboard. So the initial price barrier notwithstanding the popularity of wood cabinets continues.

As a woodcrafter yourself you should try your hand at cabinet making. It's easy enough if you bear a few rudimentary points in mind.

Once the plan is filed, you must decide on the finish. What finish will you use? That is simple enough. The cabinet should match the other articles of furniture in the room. So if they're all light colored, that's the finish for your cabinet. And if they're all dark colored then that's what your cabinet is going to be like.

Finish means 'varnish', a light coating which allows you to see the wood grain beneath. But you have an option. You can paint the cabinet when it's done. That way you have more control over the tonal effect of the cabinet. Painting is an excellent idea and does not detract from the natural beauty of the wood cabinet. Just avoid colors that are hideous, or clash with the room's decor. If you have a friend who is an interior designer, then it will be a good idea to get his opinion on which color to paint the cabinet.

Now you know the important points about making wood cabinets on your own. I'm sure you'll agree that it is not all that difficult at all. It is a good exercise in creativity and wood craftsmanship. It will become the subject of discussion with visitors to your house. For you, the pride of ownership apart, you will experience a greater pride in your creatorship. Given the durability of wood, who knows, the cabinet you make today may become a family heirloom one day. So go for it, and best of luck!

Leather is the finest upholstery material you can find. It is a perfect fit for any room of your home or office or lodge. The strongest upholstery material known to man will withstand the rigors of daily life, including children, spills, and pets. Although the principal outlay of quality leather may be more than fabric upholstery, leather is actually your best deal over time.

All leather must be tanned before it is appropriate for use as upholstery leather. Depending on the end use, tanning may enhance strength, softness, sturdiness or resistance to wear. That means your piece of leather upholstery is tanned to last inside and out. Because leather is a remarkable, natural material, each hide will have unique individuality. Several hides are used to upholster each item, so variations in dye, grain, and ordinary markings can be expected.

Leather is one of the most durable upholstery materials, proper care is vital to maintain its appearance and performance Unprotected leathers will absorb spills and stains; they will develop a patina over time as they absorb hair and body oils and soil. Protected leathers will resist spills; blot them quickly to prevent stains.

Fully clean leather upholstery every two to three months or as needed using Leather Cleaner. You can care for the fabric from stains and spots, which will also increase in length the life of the fabric. Name brand products such as Scotch guard, Fiebings Suede and fabric coat, and Teflon are topical applications and give protection for anywhere from 6 to 12 months.

Car leather requires intermittent cleaning and simple care. Use a cloth soaked in a mild soap and water solution or clear warm water to remove dust and dirt. Dirt is abrasive and under extreme circumstances it can cause the damage of the protective coating that auto upholstery leathers have. Then lightly polish using a dry, soft cloth

Leather will last a lifetime if given the care it deserves; upholstery leather is made from the full hide of a cow. It is usually sold by the entire hide which is a whole hide. The average hide ranges in size from approximately 45-55 square feet.

Upholstery leather is generally tanned in two types. Furniture upholstery leather is tanned to a softer temper, and this leather may also be used for handbags, chaps, jackets, pouches and other accessories in addition to furniture.

Upholstery leather is also tanned for automotive use. This leather is of medium temper, and it may be used for chaps, saddle seats, handbags and other upholstery uses. Automotive upholstery leather usually has protective finishes, and this makes the leather very stain and puncture resistant. Upholstery leather is quality leather with many uses, and it will outlast many fabric materials on the market.

A special frenzy afflicts iris lovers.A new iris grower immediately becomes convinced that he can breed a prize-winner, and starts right in trying. The result is an amazing harvest of beauty which is bewildering even to those who follow such things closely. Out of this flood of new creations promising few start the on climb up the rainbow arch toward the Dykes Memorial Medal.

This award was created by the British Iris Society in 1927, to honor the memory of William R. Dykes, world renowned horticulturist and author of the great book on irises, "The Genus Iris." The medal is given each year to the English variety, the French variety, and the North American variety judged to be the best of the year. In America the medal is awarded through the American Iris Society under rules established by it. Every iris breeder strives toward this ultimate honor.

Each Seedling Different

When the seeds from an iris pod are planted the breeder can expect the resulting seedlings to segregate into a variety of sizes, colors, and forms according to the parentage and the laws of inheritance. From several hundred seedlings the breeder may select four or five to keep for further observation. The others, no better than their parents and with no unique features, are destroyed. When the selected few are at their best, the breeder asks accredited iris judges to visit the garden and judge the seedlings. In these gardens the new varieties will be seen by a representative number of accredited judges.

Judges are selected for their knowledge of irises and for their ability and willingness to get around and see gardens other than their own during the blooming season. Each year these judges are sent an official ballot which must be completed and returned to the Awards committee early in July.

A new iris, not yet in commerce, is first eligible for High Commendation. Each judge may vote for ten such varieties and five votes will win H. C. for an iris. While this is not a requisite for higher honors, it usually is taken as a recommendation that the iris be introduced to commerce and thus made eligible for the higher awards. Some 100 hopefuls reach this level each year. Next comes Honorable Mention, which requires more votes for its bestowal and which is given only to irises which have been put into commerce. An iris must receive Honorable Mention before it may climb higher. Nearly 80 varieties succeed each year.

Further Climb Difficult

Now the hill becomes steeper. The H. M. winners of the preceding four years which have received no higher honor become eligible for the Award of Merit. The A. M. eligibility list contains nearly 200 names, and each judge may vote for 12. The 12 varieties receiving the greatest number of votes are given the Award of Merit. The struggle to this height is difficult, and here each variety rests two years before striving higher.

The Award of Merit is for tall bearded iris varieties and similar to tibouchina plant. There are four other awards of equal importance. They are the Caparne Award for dwarf irises, the Debaillon Award for Louisiana irises, the Nies Award for spuria irises, and the Morgan Award for siberica irises. Varieties of each of these sections which have received H. M. are eligible for these top section honors. Each judge votes annually for one variety in each section. Those receiving the most votes receive the award. It is easy to plant irises just like planting tibouchina plant.

The varieties which receive these honors now join the Award of Merit winners in a two year rest, after which all become eligible for the Dykes Medal and remain eligible for four years. This means that the list of Dykes Medal eligibles contains some 60 names. Each judge annually votes for one eligible variety. The one receiving the greatest number of votes wins, but only if it receives a minimum of 15 percent of the total votes cast. This is the top, the crest of the rainbow's arch.

From here an iris variety can only move downward. Some, do it gracefully, holding the public's favor for many years.

The biggest decision that any karaoke singer has to make for karaoke is what song they should undertake on stage. There are literally thousands of tracks available with most karaoke sets, so it can be demoralizing looking through the massive book of songs, but if you keep in mind a few tips it will make your night simpler, and allow as much enjoyment as possible.

First, ensure that you choose a karaoke track that suits your voice. Whether it is your first time or 101st time, you have to determine that you can accomplish at least majority of the tones you need. If you have a deep voice, there is no point of picking out music stars like Celine Dion or Whitney Houston, and the same goes for high-pitch voices; Barry White should be out of the question. Alternatively choose karaoke tracks that fit within your vocal range, and that way instead of worrying about if you can hit that challenging note coming up, you will be able to relax and just savor the song.

Choosing the proper karaoke song also depends on what you are getting up stage for. If you are with acquaintances, and looking at getting up as a group for a bit of fun, it is wise to choose an up-tempo song that fits your mood instead of a weak ballad. If you are a regular, and want to take something a bit more challenging, there is nothing incorrect in choosing a slower song if you can address it.

If you're celebrating an adult / older folks birthday with a karaoke party. You require to recognize what songs to select. Do your preparation. You don't want to take any old karaoke song; you want to pick out karaoke music that invokes a sensation of nostalgia. Determine what songs were hot when the party honoree grew up. Your better bet is to discover the top 10 songs of each year or decade and establish your play list round those songs.

But a small tip to remember about most karaoke bars is that most individuals are out to have a great time, so picking out a slow and sombre song that does not really fit the ambiance of the room can have sharp outcomes.

Last, when selecting your karaoke track it is optimal to find a song with a melodic phrase and words that you are at least intimate with. You do not have to recognise every song you get up stage for off by heart (thats why the karaoke screens are there to assist you) but opting a karaoke song that you have heard more than once or twice will give you a bit more confidence in singing on stage.

There is no question when people come up with the word green upon hearing the term golf. After all, what they usually see on television is a wide expanse of neatly manicured playing field. The field, or golf course, is not a standardized playing area. Obviously, this means that when compared to other equally famous ball games, golf can be played in uniquely designed fields. The only constant thing is the number of holes, which is a toss between 9 and 18 holes.

The players are more fondly called as golfer and they employ different kinds of clubs in trying to hit a ball into a hole. The goal is just like any other ball game, which is to make the ball enter the hole. This should be achieved using the lowest possible number of strokes. One can play by his lonesome or he can invite his peers for a team effort, depending on the situation.

One round of golf consists of 9 or 18 holes, played in a particular order. Typically, one round involves 18 holes. Unfortunately, if you are playing on a nine-hole course, you have to complete two successive nine-hole rounds in order to accomplish the task. This sounds like a tall order, right?

The game begins when the player hits the ball from the teeing box. The initial stroke that is carried out is called as a drive. Basically, this is a long distance shot made in order for the ball to travel down the fairway. When the ball has come to a halt, the golfer may strike it again with either of the following options: a lay-up, an approach or a green. The finishing stroke is called a putt and it is done when the ball is really near the hole. This is usually a very exciting part of the game.

The entire process may sound easy. Unfortunately, if you are beset by potential problems like a rough, or areas of long grass, a bunker and the notorious water hazard, you will certainly have a challenging task ahead. Add to that the heavy wind, the rains and for professional players, the cheering and jeering of the crowd and you have one hell of a circus.

Golfers can choose between two options as they travel the course. They can either walk or drive in motorized carts. They can also play alone or enjoy the time with their friends and helpers. A typical helper is a caddy. Aside from accompanying the player, they also carry and manage the golfer's equipment. Veteran caddies can even give insights to beginning players on how to improve their craft.

A lot of golfers sport a simple top paired with a pair of cotton shorts and a sun visor. This is a no-frills get up. When the rainy season comes, one can don for a pair of comfortable pants and thick jacket to keep warm. A good cap may also be used to protect the head from a light drizzle. There are those who like to be prepared and bring an umbrella for cover.

There are many advantages of playing golf. The health reasons include its flexibility factor. Since swinging allows one to stretch, his overall flexibility improves. The same is true for his cardiovascular workout because the heart pumps blood to all parts of the body in an efficient manner if one walks fast from one place to another. Moreover, the refreshing air in the course can bring a calming effect especially to those who are stressed out from all the tension experienced in the office.

Karate a wildly popular form of modern sports in our history and its roots goes back to it being an form of effective and deadly marital arts. While it is less practiced as a marital arts nowadays, many people have the common perception that karate is a violent and aggressive marital arts, created by warriors. Was this really the case? If we interviewed 20 people on the streets, the answer would probably have been yes from most of them.

Totally true or not, what we do know is that the founder of modern karate, Mr Gichin Funakoshi was an advocate for peace. He did not believe in violence and wrote a series of essays on his principles and thoughts on the art of karate. He also promoted the idea that in karate one should not strike first.

What does this mean? Usually in most other martial arts, the practitioner usually makes the first move so as to maximize speed and attain victory. In the case of Gichin Funakoshi he emphasized that karate was meant for self-defense, hence one should not attack first unless provoked.

That is you would noticed in some martial arts there are only killing blows and no blocks while in Karate there are a variety of blocks, trapping and grappling moves designed to not only ward off attacks, but also subdue the opponents. If karate was solely designed for killing enemies, these specific katas would not have developed.

So what does this mean for those of you who are aspiring to learn karate? It means that when you start to learn karate, you not only practice it as a form of self-defense and sport, but a kind of philosophy as well. What good does it do if the person practicing a marital art is strong and powerful but is just a bully?

In conclusion, we can see that despite common notions that karate was just a violent marital art used for killing, there is actually a broader and deeper side to it, where in the case of Gichin Funakoshi,the founder of modern karate, brought out brilliantly these thoughts in his written works.

MMA is possibly one of the most brutal, but exciting sports around. For those of you who have never seen a Mixed Martial Arts fight, you can expect a mix of wrestling, boxing and martial arts unlike anything you've ever watched before. Here I'm going to take a look at the five pound-for-pound best ever MMA fighters.

#5 Chuck Liddell - Truly one of the first real legends of the sport. He's not exactly a pretty boy, but Liddell's UFC performances helped bring Mixed Martial Arts to mainstream attention. A monster of a man.

#4 Randy Couture - We're talking here about the best pound-for-pound MMA fighters ever. So the fact that the 45 year old Couture is not the same fighter he was 6 or 7 years ago is irrelevant. At his peak, he was a machine. Definitely deserves his place on this list.

#3 Anderson Silva - Even listing Anderson Silva at number three in this list could be controversial, considering that Sherdog rates him top pound-for-pound mixed martial artist. Whatever your thoughts, he has made the middleweight division his own and hasn't lost in nearly four years.

Knockouts against highly rated fighters like Forrest Griffin and Rich Franklin just confirm what most MMA fans are saying : Anderson Silva is one of the very best fighters ever to have graced the sport.

#2 Georges St Pierre - St Pierre (or GSP as he is often called) has that rare combination of skills that means no part of his fighting style is weak. That's why he's the king of the welterweights and one of the best ever MMA fighters.

#1 Fedor Emelianenko - He's won thirty and lost one! With an impressive record of 30 wins and one loss, and that loss coming from an illegal elbow that made a cut so deep the fight had to be stopped, Fedor is really undefeated in the MMA.

He has won twice over Nogueira and has two wins on Mark Coleman, Mirko Cro Cop, Randleman and more. I can call Fedor the best of all time because he has faced the best and beat them, not many MMA fighters can make that claim and be right!

This is my list, and it may not suit your opinion, which is all good because there are so many great fighters out there that many had to be left out to make a list of only 5.

It did take quite a while to come up with this list and I keep crossing names out and adding them back in. I suspect that's why MMA has become such a success as a mainstream sport.
