  1. Greeting's Finky,Rona: I wish I had a biscut for you Rona!, my what clean white teeth for biting the perp who tries to steal my masters Kit. All the best. elg
  2. Not that I am aware of, I will have to get back to you on that one. elg
  3. I do not believe your bitter more so frustrated. I am still of the belief that there are more of us ready willing and able to continue as an organization to stop and prevent these thieves. " Never give In", Never,Never,Never. WSC. elg
  4. Your insurance will only be as good as the number of claims you have against your policy. Sooner rather than later your policy will become so expensive you will either not be able to afford it or your policy will not be reissued with any carrier. I do not believe it to be an emotional issue when it comes to protecting ones kit rather a matter of my property being stolen, it my property, not the theifs. Read the thread, it may and more than likely save your kit from the theifs in the first place! elg
  5. David, I sure would like to spend some time with you at the range!. Thanks elg
  6. Should of read my thread on means and methods of protecting you kit from theft. Completly preventable. Never leave anything for someone to steal. There are always people looking for an easy mark. Although it is a shame that your kit was stolen, out of hundreds of post of stolen kit I researched for my thread your post is not only not unique but very common. Read my thread and take the information to heart. elg
  7. Not to worry, from a pratical point of view this is not. Many variables yet to be overcome mainley gravity. elg
  8. Another unfortunate and completely preventable theft of Kit. Might I suggest reading my thread on means and methods of protecting your Kit from theft. This go's for all members who can't beleive how fast the theifs are. elg
  9. Just read the report, did not know Adam. May God rest his soul and comfort this family in their time of need. elg
  10. looks like extensive soil compaction, maybe some minor borer damage to trunk. These trees are really tough other than a lighting strike or serious damage to root system could kill one of these bad boys off. I have one growing next door tomy home and the Bald eagles and Great Horned Owls love the height. elg
  11. I believe it may be for Census purposes, esp. with the L/L. elg
  12. nearly looks like the fish eagles we have here, nice easy-lift guy
  13. She got my vote from the other side of the pond. I hope she wins! elg
  14. You received a call for a bid you may or may not have given? You told the customer you had not provided a bid for said job. You provided a new bid for customer who hired you. You got the Job!, in business that is all that matters other than the fact that the customer was happy and you got paid. Never feel wrong or guilty about being a professional. I am certain that everyone on this site strives to be professional. elg
  15. Like any new Tech system or item it will take some time to work the bugs out. Forward all error reports and feed back you can to Apple. The Men/Women in the White lab coats will be all over your reported issues ASAP, it just takes time to get caught up, Mr. Jobs knows what he is doing and there are always issues in the beginning. I believe they call it planned marketing and planned obsolescence, welcome to the plan!. elg
  16. Funny how threads take on a life of their own. Might I suggest cutting taxes across the board and start phasing out many cradle to grave programs, say 5% reduction per year. I also suggest a balance budget amendment for your government to have to live by. Everyone would have plenty of notice to start adjusting most of their collective lives and in turn. I also think your VAT tax should start to be reduced 1/2 % annually. This will stimulate additional economic activity, and more people to work. Of course it may take more than 20 years to pull this off, maybe as many a Two generations but it would be worth a try. O and lastly most of the government departments that take care of everything else except the military,water/sewer fire, and police convert to the Private sector responsibility. elg
  17. Thanks for your reply. I have been trying to discuss your particular device pictured with your reply for some time but alas, I think I may be bothering Steve Bullman since he made contact with the supplier of said product over a month ago and no new updates. I decided with no update on this alarm device to publish my means/methods anyway since there was no time like the present. I hope the product continues to work well for you. All the best.

  18. difflock, you are correct. Here in the states the teachers unions just loss their single biggest case in Wisconsin's history. The bottom line is that the Unions in general are broke and the only way they can continue to support all of the retirement plans is by raising taxes for everyone else or have to pay into their own retirement plans. The unions said no way and the Governor of Wisconsin said yes way and had the Supreme court rule in favor of the state of Wisconsin. This single court decision will have a far reaching affect through out the land.
  19. Mark, I believe your boss is offering a way of "paying forward" a favor. You are a very fortunate person. I believe you will cover yourself with the many suggestions regarding all insurance and other important stuff. In the future you will be given the opportunity to also "pay forward" your bosses kind offer. I wish you the best. Lot's of good advise, take it in good health/wealth. elg
  20. carbonite.com works well and backs up everything on your computer. elg
  21. I am sorry for your loss. elg
  22. You are correct pgkevet and here in the states some one is always trying to get justice for someone else, that was a joke. As earlier stated supply and demand can effect your rate of insurance other factors include your postal code and general population trends. It could pay to shop around for a new carrier once a year for comparison sake if for no other reason than to keep your $$ in your pocket. Good Hunting. elg
  23. Thanks Arbwork, A coordinated effort and follow up is really the key. Les cork's suggestion of the creation of a national data base is very clever and long over due. Although my time spent on this project has been interesting from a research standpoint, I have not completed my ultimate goal of implementing a plan like Les Cork had suggested. If you or anyone else would be willing to assist myself as a liaison that would be great. I believe the membership of ArbTalk can and should make a difference. Thanks for your reply and support. elg
  24. Penfold out of all the research that was done I must note that I never read a report of any armed robberies taking place for stolen kit, etc. That being said I believe that a number of members are pretty good hunters and could adjust abilities if need be to protect life/property if need be. The laws within the UK are a different matter and I would be better served to leave any comments for my fellow members to bloviate about. As a group, Members of ArbTalk have the most to gain and at the same time loose. A concerted effort with regular follow up is very important to stay sharp and alert and never let your guard down, the Jackals know weakness and will exploit any opportunity given. Good hunting! elg
  25. You are spot on Hodge I have known many teachers, really good people. It's not about the $$ it's becuse they have a calling to do better, kinda like Good bye Mr. Chips. elg
