I feel for you man.
The cops around here are also mostly usless unless there are donuts involved and they seem to think that, due to some case law history, that they are NOT obligated to protect any ONE or anything. They seem to have no qualms about collecting their paychecks and retirments, though.
Dealing with insurance companies is probably the thing in life I HATE doing more than anything else. Funny thing is, they are MORE than happy to take your premium (money) for years and years, but when it comes to paying out, they will wiggle, cry, scream, squeal like a pig, lose paperwork, flat out LIE to you, never return a call, etc, etc.
On the few occasions that I have had to deal with them, I keep a copy of EVERYTHING...phone converations, FAXes, Letters, EVERYTHING! I have never seen anyone "lose" so much stuff or not be able to remember anything about any phone conversation. You have to GET THE NAME of anyone you talk to and keep a record and even then when you refer to a particular phone con and the person you had it with, you will most likely hear that "Oh, he/she doesn't work here any more." Or maybe "I don't care what Mr./Mrs. X told you, that was not correct." ****...the only excuse i think I did NOT hear was that their goat ate the papers...!
I agree that reading and understanding you insurance policy INCLUDING ALL THE FINE PRINT is a good way to protect yourself. If you have a buddy or a neighbor that is a lawyer, ask them to look at the policy because a lot of the time the loopholes the insurance company dives through when you file a claim are not apparent to the lay person because they are PURPOSELY obscured in miles and miles of BS and legalese. I HATE most insurance companies and am lucky to have my vehicles and house covered by USAA, which I consider to be one of the best and most honest insurance companies. Now that I think of it, I guess I should talk to them and/or look at the policy to see if my tools and machies are comvered in case of a break-in. I suppose I will have to explain how the inert gasses on things like MIG and TIG welders isn't going to blow the place up, huh?
Luckily, in my neighborhood, the neighbors are mostly all gun nuts and they pay attention to who is around......I had one guy come over armed and ready one time when I got a home a day early from a trip when he saw my door unexpectdly open...he was all disappointed when he saw it was me and said.." Dang it!! YOU?!?!?! I thought I was going to get to SHOOT SOMEBODY!"Don J

Back on topic, when fastening your system you may wish to either use odd sized bolts or even several different sizes so one would need several tools.

I'm just finishing building my garage. I have a lot of the
Of the same concerns. I installed swing out man doors so it's harder to kick in. I also installed dead bolts on the overhead doors. Lots of motion lights. Plus a security system!

i am currently deployed and since i have been here my house has been robbed twice. luckely my garage has not been entered due to the leingth of security that went into it.
the best security advice i have ever gotten was from a buddy who is a locksmith he said. there is no one type of security that will keep someone out. the best security is different types of security in layers. theives want to get in and out as quickly as possible. make it time consuming and not worth the risk so they will go to the next house that has the easy score.
he also tough me how to pick locks.. it is much easier to pick a masterlock then you think.. after a few hours of practice i was able pick nearly any common household deadbolt or padlock you can buy from walmart or home depot in a matter of 1-5 minutes with a few simple easily attainable lock picks and a tensioner.
here is my current security on my garage.
the garage is 40'x30' with 2 big bay doors and a personell door the bay doors have 3 windows on them each/
1) my garage is in my back yard which is fenced in. on the fence i have a chain and a lock.
2)on the personell door i put on a brinks lock i got from lowes it looks like a lock you would see on am armored truck with a 1/4"steel hasp and a round knuckel style lock that cannot be cut with bolt cutters. it bolts to the building with 3/8 carrage bolts the heads sit under the lock when it is installed. looks like this one http://www.lowes.com/pd_256703-382-7...%3D1&facetInfo=
3)there is also a dead bolt and a standard locking knob. on the personell door.
4)the roll up doors have locks on the side latches behind the windows i carrage bolted 2x10x10' wood so if they break through the window they cant reach in and try to cut the locks off.
5)i have pad locks in the tracks as well as c clamps on the tracks so even if they get in the building they cant open up the big doors easily without a ladder.
6) i have an 8 camea survallence system (just installed after robberies) it has night vision and it is hooked up to the internet so i can see a live feed of my house even from the other side of the world. when motion is senced it records and e mails me of the incident.
i think the garage was not hit due to the amount of work it looks like it would take to try to get into quietly and quickly.
make it look like it will be hard to get into and make it hard to get into. once they are in they can see the prize and will get it one way or another.

Just pick up a inexpensive GPS tracker
Pick up a cheap GPS Tracker , For example: I have a cheapie garmin gtu strong 3m double sided taped in both my Miller Diversion 180 & my Miller 211 Mig, and a couple more feature rich models hiden in my Irreplaceable show cars... Anything ends up missing... Myself , (laptop logged into google search), and my Kimber .45 will be taking a little drive, lol....Cops can come along if they like...or if not, that's fine too, lol ...PS: The common welder (or tools) thief will NEVER suspect something like this, and you WILL get it back ASAP.
Have you tested it to make sure it has full communication???.
The more you know, The better you know, How little you know
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten
Buy the best tools you can afford.. Learn to use them to the best of your ability.. and take care of them...
My Blue Stuff:
Dynasty 350DX Tigrunner
Dynasty 200DX
Millermatic 350P w/25ft Alumapro & 30A
Millermatic 200
TONS of Non-Blue Equip, plus CNC Mill, Lathes & a Plasmacam w/ PowerMax-1000
Gps tracking sounds like a cool idea.
Not knowing the layout of your shop makes it harder to suggest options. First I would suggest a sturdy set of doors and window bars. Doors can be opened up, steel doors, and reinforced. I've done it and as long as frame/hinges sturdy enough only have to worry about having to remount it with extra weight. I would also suggest an alarm with a loud squander. I have a system in my house/ shop that is cellular or land line and backup power for 48hrs if power drops. All for under 50$ a mo. It has a siren that if tripped almost made me want to run away from my own place. I have seen caged areas taking a wall or corner that would be a good next step. Floor to ceiling, sturdy enough where a hand operated tool pop something loose or separate sections. Would also sink anchors everywhere fastening to floor walls and ceiling. I would make footprint large enough to put everything you wish to secure on hard wall side of cage so they can't reach anything to help them. Leave nothing that could be used to defeat cage unsecured. More securable cabinets or cages inside primary cage could be made but if first cage is sturdy enough I would cover everything up. Many other ideas I've come up with after my place was broken in to some legal, but your service doors (bay doors, garage style, whatever you call them) are a soft point also. I could also put a full cage or if structure is sturdy enough cables that could hold back a car trying to bend door. I personal would do alarm ( loud one, even with out monitoring service), window bars, reinforce door / locks in door, and service door. Make hard to get in, once in alarm will make it harsh / uncomfortable to continue. Alarm systems can be simple or with all bells and whistles, turns on cameras transmit to your phone,etc. I've rambled long enough, it gets under my skin when my stuff gets taken so I understand your situation.

1 pound
2 (28 ounce) cans
baked beans
1 (12 ounce) bottle
chili sauce
1 large
sweet onion, chopped
2 cups
packed brown sugar
I also made this exactly as the recipe said, with Bush's Baked Beans. It is indeed a bit sweet, which the kids loved! For a mostly adult crowd, I'd probably use 1/2 - 3/4 cup brown suger instead of 2 cups.
This could be a four or five star recipe if the brown sugar was cut WAY down! It was almost to sweet to eat! It has the makings of a great recipe with some modifications.

This is the only baked bean recipe I make anymore. It always gets raves. As others have said, 1/2 to 1 cup of brown sugar is plenty. I always cook my bacon first and then saute the chopped up onion in the bacon grease before adding to the beans. And I add a couple squirts of yellow mustard to give it a bit more tang. And I always use Bush's baked beans to start - they seem to be a bit smaller in size and all the kids in our extended family like them better. This dish is awesome to use with leftover chopped up brisket.
The best thing about this recipe is the Chili Sauce - for this alone it deserves 5 stars! Chili Sauce adds a bit of bite, and makes this really special. For vegetarians or those avoiding pork, omit the bacon and use canned vegetarian beans - it will still taste delicious! I do have a problem with 2 cups of brown sugar - that's way, way too much for me; I start with Bush's Homestyle Baked Beans, which are already sweet, and add 2-4 tablespoons of brown sugar. I also think 1 cup of chili sauce is plenty. I saute the onion briefly, in a bit of bacon fat or canola oil. This is now our favorite baked bean dish!
Was the best beans I have had yet. I used pork and beans instead of regular baked beans. The pork and beans didn't have the brown sugar, so, when I added it, it all came out perfectly. I threw everything in a crock pot and just let it go for about 7 hours on low. It was perfect.
These baked beans were awsome. I would recommend to drain your beans prior to cooking, as my beans were soupy yet delicious!
These are excellent beans. I also use Bush's Baked beans, cut the sugar in half and I added 2 tbsp. mustard and 1 tbsp. of Apple Cider Vinegar.
Wonderful flavor, a little different from most other bean recipes I've tried. The one thing I will change when making it next time is to drain the two cans of baked beans. Mine came out very soupy. Luckily the great flavor made up for it!

Exhausted Atmosphere?
That's wild
A crisis by any other name still stinks
by Rikki Hall
They say language is important, but I donâ't believe them. Words serve the devil as nimbly as a saint. It takes a lot of words to make an idea, and the job can be done many ways. Good ideas feel good no matter what language they come in or how clumsy or elegant the delivery; bad ideas are dangerous whether expressed with vulgar words or promises sweet as a spring meadow. Ideas are more important than the language they are expressed in.
I fear the devil has control of the language we use to discuss the atmospheric crisis. Certainly the confusion surrounding this issue is not the handiwork of any reputable agent. While uninformed opinions contribute to the trouble, the name given this crisis has given scientists a devil of a time.
Just as â"survival of the fittestâ" is a lousy description of evolution that has perpetuated controversy, â"global warmingâ" describes a symptom of the problem but not the cause. â"Climate changeâ" better describes what will happen if we continue overdosing the atmosphere on exhaust fumes, but it still describes a symptom. We need to name this disease for its cause.
The cause is plain: Methane, carbon dioxide, and other gases have spiked above natural levels over the past century or two. Though combustion technology has gotten cleaner, economic and population growth has driven up exhaust production. The end result has been a steady rise in emissions to the point where we generate about 7 billion tons of greenhouse gases each year. That number will double by mid-century, given current growth rates.
Though nature can absorb much of our waste, we are producing exhaust faster than she can consume it. Atmospheric studies make this obvious. Rising concentrations of greenhouse gases have been directly observed in modern times, and trace evidence of ancient atmospheres has given us a clear picture of how gas concentrations fluctuate as the planet goes through cycles of glaciation and retreat.
In 800,000 years of data spanning dozens of ice ages and tropical periods, carbon dioxide has never reached the levels we see right now except during catastrophic events like the volcanic eruption 75,000 years ago that left a thick ash layer on every continent. That brief poisoning of the atmosphere nearly wiped out an ape with an affinity for coasts and rivers and the capacity to make maps and abstractions of its world. Having survived that, we are now generating more exhaust than our atmosphere can absorb, like a volcano spread across a million exhaust pipes erupting day after day without end.
This crisis has already taken its toll. Knoxville was once known for its soot, and asthma and respiratory ailments have increased with the expansion of industry and automobiles. By the 1970s enough exhaust gases had accumulated in the atmosphere to turn rain acidic. The sulfur and nitrogen gases responsible for acid rain have been regulated by a credit-trading market for almost three decades, and high-elevation Appalachian forests are no longer burned by rainwater like they once were. Rain is still more acidic than it should be, but it is not as damaging to forests and waters.
Carbon dioxide readily forms weak organic acids, and there is evidence rocks erode faster and seas grow more acidic as the gas accumulates in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the atmosphere, which makes energy available to weather systems. The trapped heat can alter climate patterns and melt glaciers. â"Global warmingâ" is just part of the crisis. Too many machines are making too much exhaust. We have been working on this crisis in stages for at least a century, and it will be a problem until we figure out how to live within our planetâ's means. m

On Each Side (A Cada Lado)
A photographer, hired to document the construction of a bridge between villages over the course of several years, has no idea of the impact this undertaking will have on his or the townspeople's lives. As the project progresses, the structure becomes a symbol of change, passage, and transformation, especially for those transitioning from youth to adulthood.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Gail62 Great Motivator I'd heard good things about the Fitbit but didn't understand how a wristband could motivate someone like me. But it does! I'm 62 and 60 pounds overweight. Every morning I want to get up and do something. I walk even when I play 18 holes of golf. Anything to get 10,000 plus steps per day, anything to burn the calories. It's only been less than two weeks. But I think this could be a life changer for me. November 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by beth YES--this is a good workout motivator-- Three years I got the Body Media version of this same device, only it was much larger and had to be strapped to your upper arm. I would only wear it during winter months with bulky clothes in that I didn't want it to look like I was wearing some kind of tracking device or heart monitoring system. The flex looks like some kind of unisex sporty bracelet--at least unless you look at it too closely. I'm not sure in some ways that it's as accurate as the Body Media version is--but the website is better in my opinion and I like it that the syncing is automatic. And--it has really effected my exercise attitude. I may be more goal oriented than most people but I find myself looking for opportunities to exercise, and I feel good getting a head start on my goals early in the day. While I've always been a health-conscious person, when I got this I was needing a fresh boost and this definitely did it for me. ONE more important plus--there's no monthly subscription fee! They do have an annual "premium" membership, but what they offer for free is so comprehensive, I'm not sure most folks would want or need that add-on. But in any event--highly recommend. (Only negatives: the flashing light feature on mine only worked the first time I wore it and the plastic bracelet is a little flimsy--mine is torn after only 7 weeks, although it is still wearable.)

Rated 5 out of 5�by Tracie53 FITBIT FLEX I love the Fitbit Flex I where mine all the time. Other ask about it I say that it is the best , I sleep with it on and set the Alarm on it and have my regular on for back up but I don't need it. This is GREAT I tell everyone they need one of this , it does so much more then what I can explain about just love it. I even bought my husband one. next I will buy my four daughter one of course one at a time cause I don't have a lot of money but these are worth it. November 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Terry Amazing Motivation Through Positive & Accurate Feedback Into my 2nd week with my Fitbit Flex... I LOVE IT!! I'm retired, 72 & have had 3 total Left Hip replacements this year alone but the Fitbit got me up off the couch & walking 5+ milles & 10,000+ steps...everyday... it gives amazing feedback such as: how many steps taken, miles walked, calories burned, counts very active exercise minutes & even gives great feedback on my sleep habits. It has motivated me to increase my daily activity by 150%! August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Teach56 Great motivator My husband bought me one a few weeks ago! I love this device! It motivates me to reach the 10,000 steps goal each day. I am a teacher, and although I am on my feet all day, I didn't get many steps in until I got this tracker. Now I walk around the classroom all day and all through recess too! I love the encouraging messages it sends me too!! November 11, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by Evie14 I like the features this offers me. I use miles, log activities, food and sleep. I would give this product and excellent, except the wristbands keep breaking. My husband and I have had one since June and we have had to replace 4 wristbands which are pricey to replace. December 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Adamj44 Great buy!! My wife and I both got one to see our activity each day. The flex works great and styleish. The online program and app are easy to use and full of information. Being able to track your sleep is really cool and the steps are pretty actuate. If you're looking for a tool to help your fitness out this is a must buy. June 13, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5�by rs12 Awful start... Waiting for help... Purchased as a gift for my wife and had trouble syncing, so called FitBit Customer Service, who assisted in completing. While on the call, discovered that the Flex, already had prior data? What? FitBit advised this was a known issue, when we asked to delete it from the account so we can have a clean start, they advised they would need to look into it further and could not do that. Why would we want to start with results form someone else? The combination of product issues and sub par customer service from FitBit has me very thankful that I stuck with my Nike Fuelband SE. Calls to their Tech Team garnered on the spot results with superior customer service. The Flex was chosen for it's simple design and abitily to stay in "style" with multiple bands available. The wake feature is a plus, while it's ability to capture the necessary information seems to be working pretty well so far. With so many fitness bands out there, you must be able to set yourself apart from the others, based on the "issue" with information and customer service, I would choose another... January 5, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by dixiechick124 Keeping me on target to hit my steps I bought the fitbit because a freind recommended it. it definitely keeps me in tune to getting excercise and helping me try to hit those 10000 steps a day! I would have give it 5 stars but honestly the band was hard to snap on my wrist the first few times I had to put it on and off and should be easier to put in the tracking piece in the band after it is charged.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Mobilesniper Excellent device This is a great tool for me to manage my weight and stay in combat ready shape. I can sync this to my phone and keep track on the go, while working, etc. Of how many calories I eat, how's u water I drink, how many calories I burn, how many steps I take (which I was able to adjust to my stride), and how far I walk (based on your stride). I like that it also tracks my sleep so I can monitor the quality of my sleep and make sure I'm not up and down all night. It keeps it fun by alerting me through the wristband when I hit my particular goals. For the price it's well worth it. It is ALMOST a like having a personal trainer on your wrist. October 28, 2014

Nothing makes me happier than to see the stinking jets or pats lose...
Nothing makes me happier than to see the stinking jets or pats lose...
It does help some to see them lose tonight.
Worry about the Dolphins.
Only a Dolphin's win makes me happy, Pats or Jets losing is just icing on the cake. So no, this was still a horrible day!
no, this day does ****ing suck. we choked away a pivotal division game, difference between being 2-1 atop of the afc east, and now tied for last with the pats with 2 decent teams on the road coming up. nothing makes this loss any better. today ****ing sucked.
can we overcome it? we shall see starting next week in az.
first time the pats have a losing record in a season in 1,000,000 years
Pats might be 1-3 after the Amish Rifle gets through with them.
