How good is your punching power? Is it enough for knockout punches? Many athletes and martial artists ask these questions, but there was no way to measure it at home without expensive equipment (punching power meter). Now you can do it. This punching speed measurement program is the best training tool for combat sport, martial arts and boxing. Use it during shadow boxing. It works without speed/heavy bag, boxing gloves and sparring partners.

There are many components to a punch:

1- Speed of the arm of the punching hand.

2- Speed of the shoulder of the punching hand. (Yes, the shoulder does move forward about 6 inches)

3- The speed of the torso or trunk of the body turning. The torso can actually advance the punch another 8 inches.

4- The speed of your step into the punch if it is an attacking punch.

Here are a few simple things you can do to help increase your punching speed:

1) In martial arts and combat sports such as Karate, Taekwondo, and Muay Thai, use heavy bags, standing bags, and similar apparatuses which have been adapted for practicing kicking and other striking maneuvers

2) Warm up before you start. Start slowly, but do complete motions. Each time, punch a little faster than the last time, until you are moving at full speed and power. Your speed will not increase over night. The process may take several weeks until you notice a difference.

3) One of the best known methods to improve the punching power is to hold dumbbells in each hand and practice throwing punches in the air. This is a proven method to increase the speed and punching power. It is said that Bruce Lee used 10 lb. dumbbells in order to improve his speed and punching power.

How would you like a significantly faster punch in just one week? You can practice those techniques on your own. It's easy, and it works. And monitor your progress with Punching Speed Measurement Tool Knockouter for free!

Does the meter reader (power company) have the right to come into your fenced in yard and pepper spray dog?

ESPECIALLY IF YOUR OBVIOUSLY HOME WITH TWO CARS OUT FRONT AND ONE OF THE HOUSE DOORS OPEN, that he had to walk right past? This is a large house dog, and yes he will bark and approach if a stranger comes in the yard...

In California, the meter readers have a legal right to access the property so that they can read "their" meter.
Now, if you were obviously home, the person should have knocked on the door first to ask you to put your dog up. You can call the company and complain, that the reader did not knock on your door and you were obviously home. Another thing, while on the phone, ask the customer service rep. to note your account that when the dog is outside you are always home and to knock on the door first... most companies, this message will appear on the hand held device the reader is carrying.

I use to read meters years ago and have always attempted to knock on doors when a dog was in the yard. It is amazing the attitude that a reader receives when they ask the owner to put their dog up. There are times the owner does not hear the door, the reader believes you are not home, goes into the yard, and sprays the dog.. The spray does not seriously injure your dog, just rinse the eyes out and he/she will be fine...
Another thing is that most readers go to about 100+ homes a day... In one day, I would go to just over 500 homes... now if half of those homes have dogs, that is a lot of door knocking LOL... I use to just go into the yards and play with the pooches,,, of course I would test the pooch first to see if I could go in hehe, if not, I would just not read the meter and leave a note on the door if no one answered.

Another idea for you is that on the bill, it should tell you the next day your meter is scheduled to be read, you can mark that day on your calendar so that you know to keep the dog up and watch out for the reader if the dog needs to go outside.

If you question who owns the meter... the utility company does.

Another idea is,,, if your meter is on the side of your house and can be viewed from the front,,, call the company and ask them if they can turn the meter... This works for gas meters only though..

I hope this helps.

2nd illegal hookup restored power just before fatal fire
Someone inside the now-charred home on Detroit's Bangor Street was determined to keep the electricity flowing. Within hours of DTE Energy cutting off service to the house because it had been hooked up illegally for months, two locks placed on the electric meter box by the utility had been cut off -- and power was restored.
