What is The Best Way to Keep My Bike From Being Stolen?

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

What is the best way to keep my bike from being stolen?

The best way to protect your bicycle is: “Have more security on your bike than the bike it’s parked next to.”

Looking at many different locks that are available, most do the basic securing of a bike. A lock can be as costly as you choose to make it, from a few dollars for a basic lock which does nothing to prevent theft, to over a hundred dollars for a really good lock.

The most popular product used to protect homes, cars and motor bikes is: An Alarm! Most cars have them why not my bike?

While looking for a good lock I decided to look at alarms also. A separate bike alarm will cost from $25.00 to well over a hundred dollars. An alarm is a great idea because this is something that makes a lot of noise and attracts a bunch of attention. The noise is an excellent deterrent, thieves do not want attention, just to grab the item and run.

I had purchased a lock and also a separate alarm to try and remedy the situation to help me keep my bike from being stolen. I now have two items to help secure my bike, the lock and the alarm.

So, what if the two were combined? A lock and an alarm together in one package would make a much better system! I did even better I found the alarm and lock with a flexible cable. I can attach my bike to almost anything I can put the cable around. My bike is now securely locked and if somebody moves it the alarm shrieks at 110 decibels and this creates even more attention to my bike. A bike that will not move because of the lock and the alarm is making so much noise it becomes more hassle to steal it than it is worth.

An efficient package and so noisy when activated! The cable is approximately 2 ½ feet long and over ¾ inches thick, very flexible and weighs just over 2 pounds, easy to take with me on trips.

I feel better knowing I have done almost all I can do to protect my investment from being stolen while using just one product to do all I require. This versatile cable alarm lock can be used as a lock or an alarm-lock.

This cable alarm lock also serves to secure my ATV and lawn/garden shed which holds other valuable items I own. I am finding many different uses for this alarm-lock, I not only lock my bike with it I also lock my car steering wheel and you do not want to be in enclosed spaces when the 110 decibel alarm goes off.

While many people think it is foolish to lock their bike up, many others are facing the reality of having their bike stolen. Opportunistic theft is the most common method of stealing your bike, you spent hard earned money on your bike, spending a few dollars to help you keep it would be worthwhile in my opinion.

Pre. Barack Obama-Great Pumpkin’s Health Scare Plan: An Excerpt from The Great Pumpkin Letters

Pre Barack Obama: Great Pumpkins Health Scare Plan- An Excerpt from The Great Pumpkin Letters

Chief Crazy Captain Christo has received a message from The Great Pumpkin. It reads like this:

Hey Chief,

What’s shaken rattlin and rollin? I have a final task to ask of you. You must ask The Commander in Chief of America ( a.k.a. B.H.O.- Big Halloween Orator) to sing a rare and different tune. One that requires him to speak while playing the drums Hawaiian style, not Big Willie style, but Hawaiian style. If he can sing, Mela Ka Leak E Mocca without missing a beat like Bing Crosby, then we can all rest assured he was born in Hawaii and is an American. His reward will be a new set of Air Moccasins, that must be worn at a basketball game to end his lung cancer. You are to ask Number 43 to throw up the first jump ball and ask Rob Zombie to be the official of the GAME HEARD ROUND THE WORLD. Unless of course, Mr. Zombie would like to play ball! Filming optional Rob!

Ask the President of the United States to put a little ka-ching on the line. Put it this way, with all the Government giveaways, this one will be one that must be earned. Do you know what I mean Chief Crazy Captain Christo? Or do I have to give you a left hook for a convincer? Oh that reminds me, don’t forget to invite Vince Gill and Vince Vaughn and Vince Neil from Motley. We need some interesting commentary!

The ka-ching that you must ask the President of the United States of Americans ( Yes, Wiccan!) to put on the line is of the following staggering amounts. 12,000 tickets must be sold at a whopping rate of $40,000. That is the Democratic Portion of the GAME. On the other end of the Spectrum, if you want to vote for The Team of Zombies ( Independents and Radical Republicans), you must fork out $30,000 per ticket for a total of 12,000 tickets. You must hire an accountant, preferrably one who knows Warren Buffett or Bill Gates, for the money will be stored for safekeeping. Organize a summit under the title ” Racism and Teamwork: Digs Four Bucks” or RAT Digs Four Bucks meaning the Bucks start here and we will build a talented and remarkable Tree House for an American Girl. Any questions Chief Crazy Captain Christo? If you do have questions and you probably do, you can take it one flight up to my office here in Pumpkinville. Please land on the specified runway and my assistants will guide you to my new digs. Take care and may the fours be with you.

Respectfully and O’loveyah,

G.P. One

P.S.( that’s Pumpkin Script) Don’t forget, a little girl is counting on you to come through for her. She needs this worse than anyone alive and only you Chief Crazy Captain Christo know how to pull this off. Remember to write to Congress about your A.I.G. Plan and don’t mince any words . They need a Taylor Swift kick in the kiester and you know it!

After reading the letter from The Great One , C.C.C.Christo looked around and for the first time in a life filled with doubters and haters, decided that the time was as ripe as a tomato. The Pumpkin would be Squash no more. He organized an amazing group of Fruits and Vegetables. Leading the charge into the White House Lawn would be none other than the leader of the Fruits and Vegetables, ‘Ol number Four himself BRE. F.A.V. , the Big Cheese from MN. Go Vikings, see you in Miami Big Willie Style!

This has been another installment of The Great Pumpkin Letters. What are you doing still reading this. Get the game organized or die trying!

Skills Acquired From Online Games

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

Games have always been looked down upon as a hindrance to studies and most of the times a waste of time. Though the argument does carry some weight, it doesn’t say all there is to say about games. Games also help people develop certain skills and hone certain abilities involved in the game play. It would just take a little leaning over to see the values that can be gained through gaming. Gaming is also learning, although in a more fun and subtle way. 

For example, analytical and tactical skills are developed in strategy war games and pc puzzle games. These games have set rules and solutions for the puzzles so playing them engenders critical thinking and analytic thought. These games cannot be won without any forethought or logical thinking and the elimination of dead possibilities. Thus, rational thinking is also incorporated in these kinds of games. It’s just that this fact is buried underneath the entertaining animation and graphics of the games. 

When you play arcade games, like when you play sports games, what is developed is eye-hand coordination and improvement in reaction time. Especially in fighting games, reaction times must be shorter and the coordination of character movement must be in concert with that of the opponent. Though the free arcade games do look easy to play, winning them and excelling in them is another matter. Especially setting up attacks, analyzing character strengths and weaknesses, these values are included in the game itself. All expert gamers know this and thus hold fighting games in high esteem among other games. 

As one can see, there are merits in online games and puzzle free online games. If played in moderation, online games can help players develop skills that are applicable not only in games but also in real life. The key here is moderation; if one plays too much, then gaming will be destructive as it will take too much of a person’s time. But when played at the proper amount, gaming can become an asset to players and not as a liability as most people, especially parents, would suppose. And perhaps not even moderation; so long as one is aware of the skills that one is developing, then that can merit long gaming times. As they say, practice makes perfect. If the focus is redirected from the game itself to the lessons and skills that can be learned from the games, then that makes long hours of playing excusable and even justifiable.

Find Your Dream Car from Autos for Sale

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

For anyone, buying a dream car is the ultimate aim. You might have dreamt about your favorite car for months and may be years. Buying a car of your choice is expensive, and if your dream car is a luxury car, you have to spend several thousands for the car. With autos for sale in Canada, you can buy any car of your choice at a much lower price. The used cars will be of the same quality except that they were used by someone else earlier.

 

When you go to a showroom to buy a new car, you may be quoted a very high price. This price is inclusive of the cost of the car, transportation of the car and showroom charges. If you approach a car dealer, you have to pay more than the value of the car because the price quoted to you will be inclusive of dealer’s commissions. All these extra charges can be avoided and you can buy cars for a lower price when you buy Canadian used cars. Though the cars available in these autos for sale are used cars, most of them will be in good working condition. Sometimes, you may even find a near brand-new car in the Honda for sale because several car owners sell their new cars for various reasons.

 

The price of cars in Canadian used cars sales is less, mainly because these cars are second hand cars. Further, showroom costs and dealership prices are not involved in these sales. You don’t even need a car dealer to buy such used cars. All you have to do is visit the site for Honda for sale and buy the car of your choice. As the cars are used cars, you can find great deals and you can also bargain. Surprisingly, you can find hundreds of cars in these autos for sale of which several luxury cars can also be found.

 

When you buy from Canadian used cars, you must take some time to inspect the car. This is essential to determine the actual worth of the car. Sometimes, the car of your choice may need complex repair work. In that case, you can negotiate the price of the car or simply ignore the car. Most of the cars will be in perfect driving conditions requiring only minimal repair.

 

Finding autos for sale in Canada is simplified when you search on the internet. Several Canadian used cars sales will be posted on the internet. You can find websites that list all Honda for sale. With such a service, you can save a lot of time and money. You can compare the prices of many cars and decide which one you wish to buy. As you can find a collection of a number of cars, you will have many choices. You can find information about those cars on the same website itself. Sitting from your home, you can buy your favorite car, but you need to find legitimate sites that sell quality cars. Otherwise, you may be scammed.

Car Tuning Changes a Car from the Ordinary to the Extraordinary

Monday, January 5th, 2009

Car tuning has been more than a hobby but a way of life for some people. For those of us who have no idea what tuned cars are, think of the movie “Fast and the Furious”. The idea is to take a regular car and modify it to make it something special. It can be simply changing parts to have better fuel economy. Though many tuned cars are so changed they barely resemble the car they started out as.

 

The idea of car tuning is to improve performance and handling of the car to suit a specific driving style. This may involve installing new turbochargers. Modifying a car’s engine cooling unit is common as well. Though some people have ripped out the entire engine and installed a more powerful engine.  Changing up the suspension will change how a car handles. Often springs, shock absorbers, and sway bars will be modified. Using shorter springs give the car a lower look but also lowers the center of gravity. With shorter it is important to also change to shorter internals to stop from bottoming out. Going with stiffer shock absorbers improves the dynamic weight shifting when cornering. Stiffer sway bard improves handling response.

 

However car tuning modifications don’t end with just improving the performance and handling of a car. Just watch the show “Pimp my Ride” to see what can be done to a car. They tuned cars that should not have even been on the road and created high performance works of art. Let’s say you have an Audi you want to tune. What is involved in Audi tuning?

 

It is going to depend on what you want done. An Audi is a popular car to tune. Audi tuning to get a good power range can be done quickly and at a lower cost than some other cars. Depending on the year of your Audi parts are usually quick and easy to acquire. When tuning your Audi you will want to work on the engine and suspension for a better ride. However there is nothing stopping you from tuning the body, interior and even the audio system to create your dream car. Audi tuning can involve how it runs to how it looks and everything in between.
