Another attack on Lake Phalen in St. Paul

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

For the third time in month, a person was attacked in the Lake Phalen area of St. Paul. This time, it was a 23 year old woman jogger, according a story on KARE-11 TV.

It’s sad that some person or persons are intent on targeting people in this area and making them feel vulnerable. Most of these cases have not involved robbery attempts, just criminal assault. I don’t know whether these criminals are frustrated about the economy and have turned to taking their frustrations out on innocent victims, but I do know that is has to stop!

I would love to see one of these criminals run into someone carrying pepper spray or a Taser and getting a taste of their own medicine.

ANYONE can be a CRIMINAL.

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

I just saw this story on the local news tonight about a man who had stolen a car. This thief was so proud of himself that he actually called 911 and reported that he had stolen a car and, since he was much smarter than the police, they would never catch him!

Well, he was wrong. The police arrived at his residence the next day and arrested him. You see, the police have this new fangled device called “caller ID”. It lets them see exactly who is calling them and provides the callers phone number, etc. This feature is very useful for determining who called them in case the caller gets disconnected at some point during the phone call. People that need help, or are reporting to authorities that someone else needs help, can get disconnected for various reasons like passing out, trying to escape a dangerous situation like a criminal chasing them, etc.

It turns out that caller ID also comes in real handy when the authorites are trying to locate a REALLY STUPID CRIMINAL!

Maybe it’s just me, but it sure seems like there is a lot more crime these days. I think that when times get tough, Americans naturally do whatever they can to survive. Most of us with an education and some work experience have options regarding what type of work we will accept even in the current dismal state of the economy.

If you’re young and stupid, you probably don’t have many (or any) sources of income to turn to. Unfortunetly, it seems like there are more people turning to crime these days as a way to support themselves. The crime industry is an equal idiot employment opportunity. There are no resumes needed, no job interviews to go on, no sending your resume off into some black box and just praying that SOMEONE will eventually invite you to meet for an interview.

Can you imagine some armed robber holding up a gas station and the clerk behind the window asking the robber “Is this your first robbery attempt? Because you act like you don’t have much experience at this sort of thing. How many robbery’s have you successfully pulled off in the past? Have you actually ever shot a person? I’m sorry, but I really don’t think you’re qualified to pull off this robbery. I think it’s best if you just leave because we would like to pursue some other, more qualifed robbers. If you will just leave a business card, we’ll add your information to our database of other criminals and follow up with you if we have a need for your services within the next 12 months.”

What is YOUR life worth?

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

I just registered my new TASER C2 with TASER International and was thinking I made a pretty good investment in the safety of myself and my family. Let me explain how valuable this device is, in case you’re not familiar the TASER C2.

c2 blue2

The TASER C2 is a self-defense electronic control device Manufactured by TASER International, the same company that manufactures TASERs used by Law Enforcement personnel all over the world. The TASER C2 is just as effective as the TASER used by Law Enforcement, plus it has some smart additional features which make it perfect for any ordinary citizen to use.

The TASER C2 uses a replaceable cartridge containing compressed nitrogen to deploy to the small probes that are attached to the TASER C2 by insulated conductive wires with a maximum length of 15 feet. The TASER C2 transmits electrical pulses along the wires and into the body of affecting the sensory and motor functions of the peripheral nervous system. The energy can penetrate up to 2 inches of clothing, or 1 inch per probe.

How does a TASER work?
The human nervous system communicates with simple electrical impulses. The command center (brain and spinal cord) processes information and makes decisions. The peripheral nervous system includes the sensory and motor nerves. The sensory nerves carry information from the body to the brain (temperature, touch, etc.) the motor nerves carry commands from the brain to the muscles to control movement and can be involuntary in response to the sensory information. An example would be involuntary muscle reaction to pull the hand away from a hot object.

TASER technology uses similar electrical pulses to costs stimulation that affects the century and motor nerves. No muscular incapacitation (NMI) occurs when a device is able to cause involuntary stimulation of both the sensory nerves and the motor nerves. It is not dependent on pain and is effective on subjects with a high level of pain tolerance.

Previous generations of stun guns could primarily affect the Senator nerves only, resulting in pain compliance. A person with a very high tolerance pain (e.g., a drug abuser or a trained, focused fighter) might be able to fight through the pain of a traditional stun gun.

Electricity must be able to flow between the probes of the electrodes.

Electricity generally follows the path of least resistance between the probes. The greater the spread between the probes on the target, generally the greater the NMI effectiveness.

Electricity will generally not pass to others in contact with the subject unless contact is made directly between or on the probes.

Electricity can arc through clothing.

Exposure to water will not cause electrocution to increase the power to the subject (electrical charge is fixed inside the TASER device, and will not increase significantly even with environmental changes).

TASER technology uses similar electrical pulses to cause stimulation that affects the sensory and motor nerves. Neromuscular Incapacitation (NMI) occurs when a device is able to cause an involuntary stimulation of both the sensory nerves and the motor nerves. It is not dependent on pain and is effective on subjects of the high level of pain tolerance.

SPECIAL FEATURES TO PREVENT MISUSE
Every time a TASER C2 cartridge is deployed, at least 24 small, confetti -like AFID tags are ejected. Each AFID is printed with the serial number of the cartridge deployed, allowing law enforcement agencies to determine the registered owner of the cartridge and track citizen use if ever used in a criminal act.

You are required to complete a criminal background check in order to receive a unique code that will be used to activate your TASER C2. This means that when a TASER C2 has been fired, it will be much easier for the police to track down the registered owner of the device.

The TASER C2, with laser guided targeting, costs $350. It costs another $10 to register your unit with TASER. This is a one-time fee.

The TASER C2 is certainly not the cheapest self defense device available, but I feel this is the most effective, non-lethal self defense device currently on the market and well worth the investment in the safety of myself and my family.

You SAY you WANT a REVOLUTION?

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Another week, another disappointing stock market. But, cheer up! I think some long overdue change is on it’s way. And remember, there’s more to life than just money. To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, “This too, shall pass.”

We don’t have to look too far to see the signs of outrageous greed that ran rampant during the last stock market bull cycle. Here are just some of the highlights from the last week of media reports that exhibit the excessive greediness of corporate executives:

  • The Trustee in the Bernard Madoff bankruptcy case reported that the financier hadn’t bought any securities for the past 13 years!

 

  • The SEC filed fraud charges against Texas billionaire Allen Stanford and two other executives of Stanford Group of selling $8 billion in high-yield certificates of deposit with impossibly high interest rates in a worldwide scheme.

 

  • GM CEO Rick Wagoner was quoted at a press conference stating: “We have to restructure…so we can be viable at a sales level that is dramatically lower than what we ever anticipated.” Huh? You mean GM Executives never considered what would happen if oil prices increased from historically low levels and what impact that would have on their dominant market share position and sales of gas guzzling SUV’s and trucks? Were they too busy working on their golf game to bother with such small details?

 

  • Speaking of General Motors, GM and Chrysler told the U.S. Congress that they could need $21.6 billion more in aid to keep them going. GM said it could need $100 billion in financing if it filed for bankruptcy, and CEO Rick Wagner said bankruptcy would be “risky” and would only be used as a last resort. I wonder what Wagner really means when he says that a GM bankruptcy would be “risky”? Risky for him, personally, and his future salary and earnings prospect perhaps?

 

  • UBS agreed to pay $780 million and identify some American clients with undeclared bank accounts, to settle a tax case and avert criminal charges. But Switzerland’s finance minister vowed that the country’s bank secrecy would be maintained.

 

But, as Bob Dylan would say, “The times, they are a changing.” Yes, the Federal Goverment is throwing an awful lot of money at our financial markets to try and stop the decline in our financial markets and restore some resembelance of confidence again. As inflationary as the long-term effects of this loose money policy will be, they really don’t have a choice if they have any hope of preventing the global economy from falling into a long, deep and severe depression.

Critics of President Obama’s new housing rescue plan say they don’t want to pay for their neighbor’s mortgage in the form of higher taxes. Well, I don’t think anyone is happy about paying higher taxes, but what choice do we really have? The economy is messed up, big time. We can’t blame President Obama for this because things were already messed up by the time he was elected into office. He could complain about the crappy job that he inherited from the outgoing administration, but he’s not. He’s doing everything that he can to try and stop the bleeding and prevent any further damage from occuring.

Now, to get back to the headline of this long-winded blog post, It was clear from the November 2008 U.S. Presidential results that Americans wanted change. Not just a little tweak, but a major change. Well, change IS coming. It has to, or else we are all dead. Not just the US economy, but the global economy. How can you imagine that a person as insane as Adolph Hitler became so powerful? Germany was weak from the last major recession and people were starving and desperate for change. These people were so desperate that they decided that while Hitler had some radical ideas, nothing else had worked so far. They HAD to DO SOMETHING! So they put this guy named Hitler with some crazy ideas into power to see if that might fix things. And the rest is history, as they say.

Please don’t misunderstand and think that I’m comparing President Obama to Adolph Hitler, because that is NOT WHAT I’M DOING. American’s are smart enough to learn from the past mistakes of others and I think Obama is exactly what America needs right now to get us out of this financial mess without creating more problems down the road.

Just to be safe, you might want to pick up a C2 TASER in case their’s an uprising in your neigborhood…

A Taser is simply a less lethal alternative to a hand gun. Afterall, you just want to stop your neighbor from attacking you and stealing your stuff. You don’t want to actually KILL HIM, right?

How Safety Lights can Protect you in Today’s World

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

When you think of self defense products you typically think about pepper spray, stun guns or personal security alarms. However, there is another effective form of self defense that is not usually considered and that is a safety light.

How Safety Lights May Help

Safety lights are designed to light up the way when you are out walking on a dark night. Not only do they help you to see better, but they also enable you to draw attention to yourself. This may seem like a bad idea; after all, who wants to draw attention to themselves at night when there are potential attackers out there? Surely the attacker will see you and find it easier to attack you? Well surprisingly drawing attention to yourself does not increase the risk of you being attacked, instead it prevents it.
By drawing attention to yourself with a safety light it enables other people to see you. So if you are attacked there is a better chance that somebody will witness what is happening. Help can then be called and your attacker will be scared off. So that is one way in which a safety light can protect you.

By lighting up the way a safety light will also help you to see potential attackers. Often when you are walking late at night it is difficult to see what is in front of you. That is why so many people are attacked because their attacker can see them, but they did not see their attacker until it was too late. By seeing where you are going you will be able to assess the possible risks ahead and that can potentially stop you from being attacked.

Choosing a Good Safety Light

There are different lights that you can purchase but typically the best types to get are the LED versions. You can also choose between flashing lights and simple constant lights. If you use a flashing light that does help to draw attention to you when you are being attacked. A constant light is better to help you to see where you are going. For best results it would be a good idea to purchase a LED light that has the ability to flash but which also has a constant light on it too.

If you want a light which is convenient to carry then you should choose the Cell Phone flash light. This is designed to peel and stick to your cell phone and it can easily be operated whenever it is needed. It lasts for up to 6,000 hours and you can use it literally everywhere. It is small enough to easily carry around and use outside and generally it is one of the best lights available.

If you just want the simplest of safety lights then the LED light is what you need. It comes with seven different flashing patterns and you can choose from three different styles. There is a wrist strap, a bicycle light and a belt clip. It has a very powerful light and the seven different flashing functions will help you to signal help if it is needed.

Overall safety lights may not be able to directly stop an attack, but they can help to prevent them. It would be a good idea to carry around another self defense product such as pepper spray if you really want to protect yourself, or even just a personal safety alarm to further draw attention to yourself in the event of an attack. You can even purchase combined safety alarms and lights and that may be the best option for you.

As Crime Increases and the Economy Falls-How Will You Defend Yourself?

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

How do you feel about the economy in today’s world? We are reading in almost every country, that crime is on the rise due to the problems in the workforce and the fall in the economy. So how will you defend yourself? Recent headlines are reading more and more of bank robberies, home invasions, car vandalism and thefts, purse snatchings, and other criminal behavior. With millions of people out of work, it is no wonder.

Crime analysts have always had different opinions about economic downturns leading to increasing crime rates. However, since the most recent fall on Wall Street, law enforcement agencies worldwide have seen notable increases in violence and property offenses as signs it is related to the economy. Cities around world are reporting robberies in unprecedented numbers compared to recent years, or even decades. Many of the target victims are retail stores which have never seen crimes such as these. Those would include grocery and clothing stores, banks, and even restaurant suppliers. Thefts of cars have jumped nationwide by 164% from last year, and vandalism leading to theft has more than doubled. Most law enforcement officers say it has been in direct correlation to the economy falling.

In October 2008, a survey of 180 law enforcement agencies by the Police Executive Research Forum in Washington, D.C., found that 75% cited the recent rise in crime was related to property crime.

The idea that the crime rate picks up when the economy tanks makes a lot of sense, intuitively. The unemployment rate increases during a recession and some of these newly unemployed people with marginal employment skills will likely turn to crime to support themselves and cover their cost of living.

The FBI states that the most vulnerable portion of the population, are young adults, many of whom have already been in some type of trouble with police, and who were trying to move into the workforce. They can’t find a job to keep them from returning to previously committed lives of crime. The Center for Crime Prevention and Control says the demand for illegal drugs is also being driven to more crime as the economy falls. Major surges in crime, are at their highest since the 1990’s. The sale of illicit drugs is the only way many criminals can find a way to afford the drugs to sell to those who illegally do them.

The combination of declining resources and increases in many offenses may be representing only the first wave of the bad news. Because desperate people do desperate things to stay afloat, there are thousands who are giving away pets because they can’t afford to feed them. Where once there was a dog to bark away an intruder, there is now nothing to deter a thief. People without an income certainly can’t spend upwards of $100 per month to install and run home security systems. Many have turned to the one time purchase of home alarms that do not require monthly service fees.

Many cities saw a dramatic decrease in crime over 2007 and 2008 due to more police patrols. However, 62% of US police departments are now having to cut their forces and cutting overtime spending completely.

Among cities reporting increases in crimes, almost all account this to the sagging economy. Atlanta Police blames the economy for increases of 14% in burglary, and 17% in auto theft. Instead of stealing jewelry and other valuables, burglars are taking flat-screen TVs and computers which can be resold as there is more demand. Thieves are even stealing license plates for the renewal stickers in order to find relief from paying taxes on their vehicles.

The safety of all citizens must be our first priority; the second is the protection of their property. We are doing our part by raising your awareness to methods of protection.

Dumb Car Napper gets Nailed

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

OK. Every once in a while we all need a good laugh. This story is a true story and is totally laughable and sad at the same time. While you read the story think of how differently things could have worked out if there had been an alarm system like the Voice Alert System 6 to warn the car owners.

There was a man who stole a Porsche Carrera and got caught. He was charged with grand theft auto, and was told that he was to appear in court. No problem, except for one thing. He had no transportation. That’s why he stole such a high profile car to begin with. Maybe he thought he would totally blend in driving in a car worth over $100,000. Wrong. That’s why he was going to court. Police didn’t think he blended well.

What was the next logical move for the 37 year old San Francisco hair stylist? Yes, you know but just don’t want to think it out loud. He stole another car. He had to get to court!

So, he stole a Lexus SUV - keys and all. Police noticed the SUV when people started to gather around it because there were several Yorkshire Terriers wandering around inside the car.

The result was that he was convicted in the Porsche crime and then charged with receiving a stolen vehicle, receiving stolen property and animal cruelty for leaving the puppies in the vehicle. It doesn’t get much more ridiculous than this.

The serious side to this is that there could have been a way for the real owners of both cars to avoid having them stolen. The Voice Alert System 6 is an annunciator system featuring wireless PIR sensors transmitters and a remote receiver/speaker base unit. Users record their own alert messages and are then notified with their own voice message when activity in a monitored area is detected. Key applications include:

The Voice Alert System 6 can be used to monitor your home or office. It can monitor your driveway - in case a child is around, or in case someone is trying to steal your car. Since it is wireless and covers an area of up to 1000 feet - even through walls and up staircases - it will alert you in your own voice with a message you record that something is happening in a particular area. In the case above, the monitor could have said that there was movement in the garage or the driveway, which would have alerted the owner of the cars to investigate and prevent the cars from being stolen.

Protect yourself in advance. The Voice Alert System 6 is effective and affordable. It can keep your cars, your children and your home safe.

Voice Alert System 6 Helps Keep Kids Safe

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Even if you life in a pretty safe area, you probably hear about break-is and robberies from time to time. That is disconcerting to all of us, especially if the victims are people that we know.

An even more important issue arises when it is your children you are trying to keep safe, as opposed to just a few pieces of jewelry. Most kids play outside and parents want to feel secure and know that their children are safe from drowning in the family swimming pool or from being abducted or wandering away.

The Voice Alert System 6 can help with these issues. This is a powerful, state-of-the-art tool that literally monitors your kids. The Voice Alert system 6 is a wireless annunciator system that uses sensors, transmitters and a speaker/receiver box to help you monitor up to six areas around your home.

I can tell you if a car is coming up your driveway, if one of the kids is too close to the backyard pool. It will alert you to intruders in each area you choose. Perhaps the patio is the area you need to monitors. All you need to do is program the system to do just that.

Additionally, The Voice Alert System 6 can be used quite effectively in a store, office or small business. The set up is quick and easy, and totally customizeable. The system is weather proof, and it can send a signal 300 feet through walls and 1000 feet in open space. It can also be programmed to trigger a floodlight to light the area.

If you need an affordable alarm system that is effective, customizeable and will protect you, your home and your loved ones without recurring monthly fees, The Voice Alert System 6 is a great choice and a great alternative to traditional alarms.

Home Burglary Prevention

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Electronic Watch Dog

Home is where the heart is. It is your safe haven. Your home is the only place where you really feel at ease with your surroundings. Home is the only place where you have complete control over who makes contact with your family. Protecting your home and family are likely number one on your list of priorities. That’s why home burglary is so traumatizing in most cases.

Home burglary and related crime statistics are astounding. In the United States, burglary occurs every 15 seconds. Property crimes occur every three seconds. A theft occurs every 5 seconds. Assault and violent crimes occur every 35 seconds. The most common threats to our homes are burglary and theft.

Most home burglaries occur on weekdays and during the day when most homeowners are at work. Burglaries are committed most often by young men who are looking for small items that can easily be converted into cash. Prime targets tend to be cash, jewelry, guns, laptops and other small electronics. MP3 players, cell phones and handheld video players are also very highly sought after items.

Burglars tend to go for the easiest targets so they can get in, get your valuables, and get out in a reasonable amount of time. They look for easily picked locks, doors that don’t close completely, attached garages with easily opened doors, and low windows they can break to climb through. Burglars carry a wide array of tools with them like small pry bars, screwdrivers, pliers and small hammers.

The first step in protecting your home from burglary is to be sure all of your windows and doors lock securely. It is highly recommended that you use very strong locks that are resistant to twisting, prying and lock picking, such as Grade-1 or Grade-2. Make sure your family locks all windows and doors before leaving the house unprotected. A deadbolt is a good addition to any door. Most burglars enter the home through an easily accessible door or window or a garage door. Sliding glass doors are also considered somewhat of a welcome mat for burglars. A wide variety of locking and blocking mechanisms can help secure a glass door, but remember; it is glass.

Open windows are obvious security risks, as they are easily accessible to burglars. Always ensure all windows are closed and securely locked. Windows should also be secured with blocking devices, so they cannot be opened as easily by force if the burglar manages to unlock it from the outside. An inexpensive fix for this potential burglar doorway is to tighten screws about half way into the upper track of the window’s sliding panel so the window cannot open past a certain point.

Making use of a good security system and surveillance system is also highly recommended as a deterrent to burglary. Security system professionals supply you with stickers you can place in visible areas that inform potential burglars that your home is protected. A high quality camera and surveillance system will also help protect your home from burglars. A hidden camera system with recording capability will also help police capture the burglar if they do break into your home.

Home Security: Ensure Your Home’s Safety

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Home security is not just theft prevention for the wealthy. You don’t necessarily have to live in a high-risk location to benefit from enhanced security in your home. Thieves and others with deviant intentions can strike at any time. However, there are many options to provide safety and peace of mind for you and your home.

80355

 

Don’t make your home an easy target. Safety begins with taking the most basic precautions. Don’t leave doors unlocked. Install motion sensor lights or leave a small light on at night around doors. Most thieves don’t want to stick around to be noticed. They would also rather not spend a lot of time taking care of business. Make sure your doors and windows are secure. Take a moment to walk around the inside and outside of your home and think about the vulnerabilities like someone intending on a break-in. This is the best place to start.

Window Alert

 

Once you have determined the weaknesses in your home’s safety, decide what home security products would work best for you. Many people think about elaborate security systems and remote monitoring when they consider home security. These systems can often be pricey. You can take less expensive measures to protect your home.

Start small. Use door braces on sliding doors or infrequently used back doors. Install motion detectors that trigger a high volume alarm when intruders enter the room. They are easy to hide and impossible to avoid when entering a room. Magnetic alarms that go off when a door or window is opened are also useful.

doorbrace

 

Automatic dialers can be mounted on your wall with a motion detection device. When an intruder enters the room, not only does an alarm sound, but the device automatically calls someone. You choose the numbers that are dialed by entering them into the device. When using these devices, as many of them require batteries, it is important to keep the batteries updated. Also, remember to arm the device when you leave home. If you will have guests coming and going from your home, let them know how to turn the unit off and on. Forget and you will have some panicked friends and family.

80200mace

 

Akin to the automatic dialing devices are spy sensors that are inserted into your telephone. The major difference is that these devices function unnoticed and allow you to listen to what is happening in your home. The device is triggered by a motion sensor and then calls you on your cell phone or other programmed number. If you hear what could be an intruder, you can hang up and call the authorities.

Some systems operate on a combination of these individual items working together. The monitoring is done by you or members of your family through the system and therefore avoids outside monitoring costs. Take these extra steps to make sure your home is safe whether you are there or not. Make certain that your home will not become the next theft statistic.

Also, make sure that you don’t display high priced items in plain sight or locate expensive belongings near windows. Think of it like dangling a piece of meat in front of a dog. The dog will do just about anything to get what it wants, and the desire is only increased by taunting. Flaunting your possessions, even unconsciously, leads to an increased risk of break-ins and theft. Common sense is one of your best defenses.

Electronic Watch Dog

 

Remember that home security isn’t just what might get into your home from outside. Protect yourself and your family from fire and smoke inhalation (which is sometimes more fatal than the fire itself). Install fire and smoke alarms in your home and keep the batteries fresh. Keep fire ladders on the upper stories of your home. No matter what happens, always have a plan and a safe way out.

Stay Safe,

Home Security Tips

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Wouldn’t you like to be alerted if a car comes up in your driveway, your kids to inside your tool shed, intruders approach your front or backyard, someone enters your garage, visitors approaching your front door, your parked boat or motor home as been invaded or your pets trample your flower garden? A Voice Alert Security system would solve all those issues in no time.

Protecting your home should be your primary focus especially with rampant crime rising every day. You have to work so hard to buy your home and the things that you conveniently purchase because you like them and want to enjoy them. There comes a thief who wants to invade your privacy and commit the crime that is unthinkable. How do you stop them?

A home security system of any kind can help you to do just that. Gone are the days when you have to sign up with a home security system company and pay a monthly monitoring fee for the rest of your life. If your budget is tight, there are other different options available. You can get the Mini Alert Alarm that uses passive infrared technology to protect a room from intruders. Producing an infrared triangle, the Mini Alert creates an unseen barrier that’s impossible to penetrate without setting off the alarm. It is battery operated and no wiring and can be easily moved to a new location.

The Mace Window Alert is a 95 decibel glass breakage alarm that attaches to windows and set off by vibrations if someone tries to break through. It installs easily on any window.

The Magnetic Door/ Window Alarm uses a magnetic affinity to initiate its 110 decibel siren. The base of the alarm is bolted to door or window frame, and the actuator is connected to the window or door. The alarm is activated by opening the door or window. It will scare your intruder away.

The Mace Motion Alert is a passive infrared system that detects motion in any selected area. Compact and attractive, it mounts easily (vertically or horizontally) near any entry area and is battery operated, eliminating any need for wiring. Unit can be coded with a personal security code and can be set to utilize a two-tone entry chime, instead of the alarm sound.

Do you know that you can make your intruder think there is a live dog in your living room? The Electronic barking dog home security alarm system does the trick. With his electronic radar eyes, the Electronic Watch Dog can “see” through thick doors, walls and glass. And once his cord is plugged in, he’ll stay on duty around the clock, indefinitely. The Electronic Watch Dog can protect homes, apartments, mobile homes, RV’s, jewelry stores, hotels, factories, warehouses, public and private buildings of virtually every kind.

If you have a pool in your backyard, you can add a pool alarm system. It acts as an alarm system to notify you if your child or pet has fallen into the pool.

Drop That Cell Phone!

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Don’t you hate drivers jawing on their cell phones?

Okay, maybe it’s not a bad a being drunk, asleep, or applying makeup, while driving, but it’s right up there.

Driving is something that takes your attention. You need to be able to control your two ton automaton of death as it hurtles along at mile-a-minute speeds. All around there’s other cars, with other drivers, and they’re not paying attention either.

Scientific studies have been made about just how dangerous a cell phone is. Maybe it’s about the same as drinking and driving. Maybe it’s just the idea that if you get into an argument on your cell, you might get distracted.

Maybe it’s just that you can’t hear what’s going on around you.

Everyone knows that’s not safe.

Even when you’re not driving.

http://www.laneselfdefense.com/voicealert.htm

The Voice Alert System-6 driveway & home alarm can make sure that you’ll always hear what you need to hear.

It might be the sounds of a car coming up your driveway or someone coming to the front door. Maybe it’s the sounds of children entering your tool shed full of attractive, razor shape tools or trampling your blue ribbon winning roses or falling into your swimming pool. Maybe it’s intruders entering your yard or creeping into your garage. Even your boat or motor home can stay within earshot, saving you from modern day pirates or carjackers.

The Voice Alert System-6 features a programmable base unit and an array of remote sensors. It allows you to record your own message, in your own voice, to warn you of activity in each of the areas you’ve chosen to monitor. The remote wireless sensors can be placed wherever you choose (maybe up to 1000 feet away) to watch over your family, your home, and your stuff.

Better yet, these remote sensors are weatherproof and wireless, so installation is a breeze.

Here’s your chance to use technology to know what’s going on around you,
