Interviewed again
Lionel at "The Gospel in 3-D" has interviewed me. The interview is in his post called "Interactive Interview with Alan Knox". I enjoyed the interview process very much. I hope the result is as interesting and fun as the process.
For those who are interesting in learning even more about me and my journey so far, I've also been interviewed before by Michael in "A Conversation with Alan Knox: Interview Series Pt. 5", by Glenn in "Featured Blogger: Alan Knox", and by Dave Black in "Interview with Alan Knox".

I read all the interviews – Very interesting!
Sorry I don't disagree with you more (since you said you like that), but we just seem to agree most of the time.
We're believers, and had always been taught we should be part of the IC, but felt trapped there. A fellow I know was talking to me about his problem with alcohol, and asked for advice. He seemed irresistibly drawn to bars. I told him that for many of us there are places that are not good for us to go, so we should avoid them. For him, that was bars. He asked me if there were places I should avoid.
I had to think about that one, and then realized later that it was the IC. That was not a healthy place for me.
A typical Sunday in our IC: the leaders having "unofficial" meetings in the hallway planning to fire the pastor (they did), one of the elders telling someone that he doubted they were a Christian since the method by which they had been baptized was not correct, two other leaders grousing in the hallways about a woman who had the temerity to make an announcement about the kids and then say a prayer from the platform (only men were supposed to pray), and all the while new people were being ignored. Oh yes, the "in" group was making plans to go out to lunch with each other as others listened, but were intentionally excluded. (One Sunday we met with some friends who were not part of that "church" for lunch. The "in" group made it obvious that they were offended that we would intrude by showing up at the same restaurant they had chosen for their lunch – unintentionally, of course). Yes, indeed, that was a very typical Sunday at that IC.
We took the advice that I had given my alcoholic friend, and got out of a very unhealthy situation. It is like recovering from a serious illness. We feel so much better, and continue to improve every day.
Obviously, things also went bad at the IC church you were last part of. We really wonder if there is much hope for the IC as we have seen it. We know no one who is not part of it who wants to even venture near. They'd rather "stand and be flogged". What are your thoughts on the future of the IC? Surely you know that so many of them are sick, sick, sick.
Cheers for the link, Alan. It is good to read some background about you and your family and how your community operates as the Church.
Being in the early stages (2.5 years down the track) of a 'church community' myself, it is a real encouragement to hear about others' community that is not institutional, more organic, eager to hear God's will and is going 'successfully' (for lack of a better word!).
Appreciate it – keep on encouraging!
Sam and Andrew,
Thanks for the kind words and the encouragement. I'm glad that you enjoyed the interview.
Thanks for helping me get to know you better! I wished you would have shared the answer of to your first question here!

ok ganache.... I haven't worked out how much is needed for a cake yet so I always have leftovers , what can I do with it? freeze-how long? fridge-how long. Any other ideas? TIA
I fridge mine, it's good for at least a week, just try it if you keep it for longer.
If it fridges hard, you can scoop it out and make truffles, reheat it slightly and dip fruit in it, make a fondue with it, whip it up and use it instead of whipped cream on desserts... whip it up and add whipped cream and make mousse with it...
Clearly my ganache never sits out for very long =P
It will stay in the fridge for about a week. Not sure how long in the freezer. You can alway make truffles out of it.
The above ideas sound great or you could just take a big ole spoon and eat it!!
How would you make truffles out of it? I can only picture it melting, becoming a gooey mess once dipped into warm chocolate as a covering. Has anyone done this and if so, can you share how?
Thanks for any ideas.
You take a spoon or a truffle scoop and scoop up some ganache. Then you roll it into a ball in your hands and place them on wax paper. You want about a 1 inch ball. Then you put them in the fridge to let them set up. I usually let them set for 30 minutes but my house is wormer than most so I make sure that they won't melt while dipping them. Then before you take them out of the fridge melt the dipping chocolate and then dip the truffles. Then put the truffles back in the fridge until the outer coating is set.
Thank you; maybe I will try it later. I may need to do it to see it not melting like I imagine!
Make a batch of Toba Garretts chocolate frosting. I cut the recipe in half when I make it. It is the best frosting I have found and it uses ganache in the recipe.
Eat the left overs with a spoon
I agree with msulli10 - Leftover ganache is not a good thing at my house!!
Serve warm over ice cream....
Make a small 4 or 6 inch chocolate cake. Put buttercream on it, then pipe tubes of buttercream across the top (take the tip off the coupler and use that thickness). Put two or three "snakes" across the top with space in between. Freeze for 30 minutes. Pour melted ganache over the whole cake and voila -- a mini bumpy cake!
PTB....better watch out...sounds like everybody just might end up at YOUR house for leftover ganache! haha.
PTB....better watch out...sounds like everybody just might end up at YOUR house for leftover ganache! haha.
I know! I made myself hungry after my last post!

Two men pulled up alongside the couple then jumped out and, brandishing a gun, demanded the woman's purse. The thief, purse in hand, ran off down the street with the 59-year-old singer chasing behind. The thief then turned and shot Davies in the thigh. A suspect in the case has been apprehended though the driver of the car remains at large. Davies, recently honored as a Commander of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II, was released from the hospital Monday and is expected to be "up and about in a day or so" his manager Deke Arlon told CNN.

Stewart, who built her company from catering business to publicly traded giant, is accused of making misleading comments regarding the sale of nearly 4,000 shares of ImClone. The day after Stewart sold the stocks, ImClone's stock price plummeted due to the rejection of a drug patent application. Stewart's trial begins January 12th.

I don't know if I'm in an emotionally abusive relationship or whether its just me being highly strung(60 Posts)
I feel like my husband is constantly criticising me. We have two kids, age 3 and 1. So I have a lot on my plate. And I do a hell of a lot. But I always seem to forget something, or get so something wrong. The house is always too messy for his liking, too cluttered. And he is always picking me up on it.. even though he claims that he actually lets so many things go and that he is constantly having to hold his tongue and say nothing and make allowances. He says that i am so so sensitive that i cannot take advice on how to do things better or more efficiently, and that what he said under his breath wasnt for my hearing anyway. And he is so so good at arguing his point that I am always the one apologising, even if we are bickering about something I really believed not to be my fault.
I'm so lonely about this as I don't want to be unfaithful to him by talking to my friends about it but most of my closest friends have seen me in tears at one point or other over something he has been angry with me about. I feel like I am always in the wrong in his eyes and he always claims to not remember examples of him previously putting me down, so much so that I've threatened to start writing everything down as annoyingly I can remember the put-downs but am unable to repeat the whole circumstances that lead to it. He huffs and puffs when I've annoyed him and then when I get frustrated he claims that I'm being unreasonable for attacking him for breathing.
We have always had an argumentative relationship. I think I have always felt put down by him but its worse since I had kids. I have never argued in previous relationships but most arguments come from me getting indignant or answering back to criticisms he makes. And he is so so good with words he can argue me in to a corner. He has such courage in his convictions that I am always the one who ends up apologising. He is also an only child so I wonder if that is why he is so convinced he is always right.
I have ended l on anti anxiety tablets for the past year. But I feel like its him that's causing my anxiety. When he is away for work I don't miss him. I get stressed with the kids but not anxious which is how I am around him, I feel like I am constantly watching what I say when he's therre. i do jobs for fear of being told off. i darent ask him to do anything round the house as he will discover my way of doing it is flawed and that it needs changing or that i hadnt done it properly the time before. If he thinks any of those things he will have a go at me or there will be a big argument. He says its been loads better between us of late as we haven't argued so much but that's because I keep my mouth shut most of the time when he offends me now.
I dn't know what to do. He is an amazing father and has a sweet heart but he is so critical and gets angry with me. He has banged doors and walls but never ever raised a hand to me. Once in the middle of the night when he was having go at me for how I was dealing with our son screaming in the night I lashed out at him in the bed out of pure frustration and he had to pin me back, so now he likes to remind me of how I was physically abusive to him once and has even brought it up in front of our three year old.
On the other hand I am an emotional person and I think maybe it is all me and that I am being unreasonable. I like getting my own way so maybe its just that I don't like being told. My family laugh and joke and say that I was a handful and that he has calmed me down. (I changed career 6months before I met him and I actually think it was partly being more fulfilled that may have done that too). I just thought relationships were supposed to be teamwork and the only way that has materialised in our relationship is that he works really really hard and I do the kids and house. But I don't criticise his job, although he is constantly critisising mine. Is feeling this way normal?? I just don't know! All I know is I am mostly miserable with him and that although I love him loads I am getting to the point where I almostwould rather walk away.
Please your advice would be really welcome, is it just me being a little princess and expecting too much??
A bit of an update as we are nearly a month on from my first post. I did post a reply back in August but the iPad ate it, and I found it too difficult to find the words for a second time. However things have changed since then anyway.
With the confidence I found from posting and receiving all this fabulous support, I started to stand up to the way he was speaking to me. It was as if he genuinely had no idea he was being that foul to me... And as for the constant criticisms he really believed that he was just giving me advice. But wîth my newfound confidence I essentially gave him an ultimatum. You can keep treating me like this where I feel unrespected, or I can take the kids and move in with my parents who live over an hour and a half away.
He initially seemed shocked that I should feel that way but as I started to give him examples he started to act more sheepish as there was no denying that the way he had spoken to me on several recent occasions was disrespectful and unkind.
Who knows if it will last but he seems to be making much more of an effort to speak to me respectfully. Don't get me wrong, he's still pretty selfish and I understand that that's never going to change, he's an only child who had suspected spina bifida during the pregnancy who miracously came out strong and healthy, but whose mother sadly had to have a hysterectomy whilst he was very young. No surprise that he was doted upon and praised for evrything he did, especially when it was discovered he was super-bright, got offered a scholarship to a fancy school and was the first person from his family to go to University, let alone Oxbridge. But I can cope with a little selfishness. As long as the person is going to indulge a little of my own selfishness in return!
Most importantly though, I no longer feel as anxious as I did. I still make the effort to make the place nice at the end of the day but that's because it's pleasant to have a tidy house in the evening without toys strewn all over the place and the laundry half done and dishes piled up on the side, not because I am scared that he is going to stomp around the house sighing loudly on his return from work if he finds it that way, or criticise that I haven't done something properly.
I also bought the Lundy book on the recommendations and although I have found little time to read it where I will not be spotted, what I have read already has given me validation that I was not just being highly strung. It has also given me the confidence to open up to two of my best and oldest friends about how controlling he is, telling them that I am reading a book that is helping me deal with him... As if they needed telling that he were controlling after some of the scenes they have witnessed in the past!
I get that these are only steps in the right direction and that they are not necessarily indicative if how things will continue but they are giving me confidence. We have rowed since and he has said some horrid things in the heat of the moment but I have been able to stand up to myself in a way I wasn't really capable of a few months ago, so thanks so much for your support, mumsnetters!
A return to work just two days a week has also done a great deal for my confidence as I am suddenly being seen in a different, more competent light (i am pretty good at my job and i love it to boot) also I remember how normal people interact without putting one another down!
Although I was totally confused as he had told me to deal with our son so I didn't know how I was supposed to look after her as well...
Oh, he's good at this. Whatever you did would have been wrong. That's how he gets his sense of power - you running around trying to please him, while he changes to goalposts so it would be impossible ever to do so.
So glad you're reading Lundy Bancroft. I'm another veteran of such a relationship (I like to think that it's like being a war vet, rather than a "victim"). It's horrible when you realize that someone who is meant to love you quite deliberately sets out to make your life unpleasant.
The fact that you enjoyed your holiday more because he was out doing sport all the time should tell you quite a lot about what he contributes to your everyday happiness....
DO NOT show him the book! Another poster did this once, and her h twisted it all round to accuse her of being the controlling one. Also, if you share a computer, be aware that if you bought it from, say, Amazon, you will get pop-ups on screen detailing the book. You might want to look into how to remove them.
Hi, this sounds v familiar to me, you end up on eggshells worrying about getting it wrong more than you get it right. I had partner who got me in to this state over period of time, partly becuause I am forgetful and can be easily distracted tbh, but her frustration was just too much, over the top. I would worry about the shopping all the time and whether my kids had picked up their socks or not. This was all a front for the fact that she and I ultimately had different views on things.
It is hard to say if he can change I hope so but if you are already talking about seperation then it seems like maybe you two just don't fit.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
And next time he lies about something not happening when it did, look him in the eye and say 'You can keep lying all day if you like, but don't imagine it fools me because I know exactly what you said, and lying only makes it worse' Then refuse to argue the toss about whether he did or didn't anymore 'I'm not going to argue anymore because as I said..'
Notice that his responses are all about him. You've told him you feel desperately unhappy and in return he sulks and says you've made him feel like an arsehole (if the cap fits..) And you worry that he says ill be really depressed if you leave. It's not your responsibility to make him happy, you know. He has to do that himself. If he's not happy then he has to fix it, not blame it on what you do.
You made him feel like an arsehole? Well, if it looks like a duck....
I promise you, when he cottons on to the fact that you're starting to see through him, he'll be a whole lot nicer. Don't fall for it. He won't change.
Yes to that! Deciding to leave took years. Actually leaving was easy and made everything better
thanks whiteand green and sorry for the hijack 5 minutes. Will be watching this thread with interest. i hope you make the right decision.
rivella I thought it was really really hard to leave, before I did so. It was actually really easy. It was making the decision that was hard. It starts to feel impossible, you feel trapped.
wow are you married to mr rivella? our dhs sound like twins. I now realised that the 'problem' which dh picks up isn't actually the problem, I'm the problem (in dh's eyes). Sounds like your dh is the same- nothing will ever be good enough (even though in the real world of course it's good enough). do you still have a physical relationship with your dh? tbh though, I don't think that matters. I read your post, with cool objective eyes, and thought 'why the hell is someone as smart as that with someone who treats her like dirt'? My dh can be very sensitive and emotionally literate, and in fact that makes it worse, because he knows exactly how he should behave..he just chooses to behave like a prick [admitted that he stonewalls when i'm upset because it upsets me more..]. good luck with whatever you decide to do, it's much harder to leave than it appears..
You honestly shouldn't have to live like this. Sheeeesh...you can't do anything without being micro managed by him. Plan ylour escape.
Oh he's totally done a number on you op and he sounds like a twat. Have you tried Women's Aid? I think you should contact them for some advice too.
Well he IS behaving like an arsehole, that would be why he feels like one.
Is he like this with workmates? Does he treat his friends like this? If the answer is no, then you have to realise that he actively chooses to treat you like this. If he can rein in his moodiness while at work or with friends, then he should also be able to do so with you. That was the eye opener for me - my ex was sociable and friendly with friends but at home he was the classic Jekyll and Hyde, and it always kept me on the back foot. I never knew where I stood.
However, since we split, friends seem relieved that they don't have to spend time with him any more.
I thought my ex was depressed and miserable and couldn't help himself. The reality was that he was a nasty piece of work.
Thank you all so much for all the advice.
To be honest I am rather overwhelmed as I really expected only one or two replies telling me to stop being so highly strung and that its real life, just get over it. I certainly didn't expect so many posts saying you do think it is EA. I feel as if I am just peeking out of the sand at the moment, although perhaps not completely removing my head!
Thank you all for sharing your stories with me. It is a great help to no longer feel completely alone in this. Evaoin, thank you especially for sharing your story about the physical stuff, you are right, I have felt terrible about it. He told his friend that I hit him, then told me he had done so, so I can no longer actually look that friend in the eye any more.
Writing that makes me realise how he will exaggerate how badly I have done something. He told me off for something I had done when we were at a family gathering. At the time I needed support, not to be told off, so I flipped and yelled at him. The only person in the room with him was my niece. But he stormed out and whenever he refers to it, his storming out was because I had laid into him in front of my entire family.
He claims I am never happy with what I have. Whenever I say its hard to keep the house in order with two small children he reminds me that we have a cleaner. Who does his ironing. And that he is always happy to graze on something small for his evening meal so he doesn't expect me to cook for him nowadays. He says he is frustrated with the number of unfinished jobs in the house. I can empathise with that though because I hate it too but if one of the kids has pulled me away from hanging the washing I often do forget to go back and finish it. Or to put away the breakfast things, or the colouring in were doing, or finish emptying the dishwasher, even though the dirty things are stacking up on the side etc etc
Kernowgal and Anniegetyourgun, Maybe you are right about the low budget- I am always so shocked when I find out how much some of my friends spend at the supermarket. We did up my budget about six months ago when we went through the typical shop for a week and I gave him approximate prices, he was pretty out of tune with how much things cost nowadays (He never goes to the supermarket except to buy a few bits and bobs and I am sure he never looks at the prices). However I did agree the budget. I, like NomChangeroo had debt when we first got together, and we were extremely frugal in the period where we paid it off, so I got used to keeping the budget low. Trouble is, we really enjoy being sociable and entertaining and as the budget had no room for that, we always go over. (By the way he does use the fact that I was in debt as a point in arguments a lot, like how I expect the road to rise before me, how I want everything on a plate, how I have no concept of the value of money).
NomChangeroo, I had a hard time on maternity leave too, I felt like a limpet living off his money. My own money went into paying for childcare for our son so that I could have time with the baby and do the house etc.
He has been really good about money recently and has not questioned things, but that is possibly because he is also spending over budget. I still worry because he used to be on my back about it. But he asks for more expensive things fro. The supermarket now and says we will start to be frugal again after the summer.
On the plus side he does give me an allowance each month which is really generous. It's money I don't have to justify and can spend just on myself, for clothes, meals out with friends etc. I often just use it to buy things for the kids though because I'm concerned that the joint account is not looking healthy. But as i get it, I really don't feel that he is financially controlling me. It was an idea his parents gave him As they do the same thing.
His parents do seem to be aware of how he is because they have made several comments to him that he is controlling. I try not to see them too often, partly because he gets annoyed with them and takes his annoyance out on me by being grumpy. I Wonder if behind closed doors their relationship is just like ours. Recently his mother confided to me when she realised we'd been arguing that she and his dad had rowed that morning as well. It depressed me so much as my own parents don't really row at all (but then my husband reminds me that that's not so great either as they've both had affairs at one time or other!).
So the way today has gone is that after our discussion this morning where he outright denied asking to watch the tv on silent last night and accused me of making the silent bit up, he then went the supermarket with both kids and when he returned our son was having a strop about my husband carrying his shoes and would not come in the house. Our 1 year old was still toddling around outside too. My husband told me I could deal with our son and walked into the house. So I said I would get the baby first. So I brought her in to the house, shut her in and went back out to our son, but she stood by the front door and screamed for me the whole time and he just ignored her. When I came back in he made a sarcastic comment about not knowing I was going to bring her back into the house and just leave her.. Although I was totally confused as he had told me to deal with our son so I didn't know how I was supposed to look after her as well... Anyway that made an atmosphere ovr lunch and after lunch he wanted to know what was bugging me and when I told him he seemed quite surprised. I took myself off for a lie down whilst the baby slept and then afterwards he refused to come swimming with the rest of us for the afternoon and has been sulking/sleeping ever since. He says I've made him Feel like an arsehole. He's now gone out for a run. He does seem genuinely melancholy.
I really didn't think I was going to have to leave him to get this to stop. But that seems to be the common theme in everyone's advice or experience. It's so weird as he really has been so so much better over the past year but its almost like the damage has been done as I no longer trust him not to have a go at me for things. Which is what I guess posters are referring to when you say he's got me where he wants with the control thing. I am right in thinking this is all subconsciously though, right? As I don't believe for one second that he is purposely controlling me... As I know he is a really sensitive guy and would probably be outright depressed if he read all this.
I am here wondering if the budget he has agreed for your groceries is actually one that is impossible to achieve and therefore makes you overspend each month, so he can have a go at you for it, if you see what I mean.
I was where you were, OP, and it was exhausting. Trying to anticipate every little thing that might wind him up and dealing with it before he had the chance to shout at me. But then the goalposts would move, and I'd get a telling off for something else, usually quite random and usually quite ridiculous. I looked forward to the days when he would be out for the day, or away for the night, because I could just be myself. It was horrible. He would call me something horrible, then when I picked him up on it, he would angrily deny he'd said it and force me to apologise, even though I knew he'd said it. Then later on he'd be all jokey about it and basically say he had said it, but I would never get an apology, because he didn't do apologies.
The day he left (because I was cold and selfish, apparently), I didn't cry. I felt numb for an hour or so, and then just felt complete and utter relief. I no longer had to dread his key in the door. It was wonderful. Friends commented on how I no longer seemed stooped, like I was carrying the weight of the world. One of the happiest days of my life so far.
Been quickly through the posts and my heart breaks for you. He IS a bully, emotionally abusive and I'm so glad you're beginning to take steps to sort it out. I'm pretty old, been round the block a lot, been involved with emotional and physical bullies, control freaks and men who generally play with your head. I think you have to do some very serious thinking about where you go now. Excellent advice from the other MN ladies. Fingers crossed for you.
So your DH is 'a good father' on the basis of having looked after all the kids alone, 3-4 times in their entire lives? For which you had to be grateful?
Sorry but he's a shit father.
On no account let him even know about the book. If he doesn't know you go on mumsnet, don't let him know that either. Start using private browsing as of now.
And definitely Womensaid and counselling - but never ever with him.
Another thing, OP my ex had a great job.
Earned loads of money but was still tight as anything and expected me to account for every penny. I paid my way through my maternity leaves but he never let me forget that I wasn't earning and he was paying the rent.
What I'm saying is that it's just another way of controlling you. We were well off but I was still not allowed to make any decisions really, not even on groceries without him interfering and questioning it. He still thinks I am a spendthrift (I'm not in the slightest) and used to use the fact I was in debt when I met him as evidence for this. (I'd taken a loan out for a masters so not exactly spending money on a luxurious lifestyle!)
He still tries to use money to control me (eg threatening to stop paying the rent - the only money he pays for upkeep and promising to send the DC to private school, choosing a school then telling me he's changed his mind)
Even though I don't have all the material things any more my quality of life is much better. It was worth it to get my confidence back.
I've name changed for this but couldn't not respond to your post.
It ABSOLUTELY is NOT your fault what is happening here.
Your DH is abusing you.
I could have written your post word for word a year or two ago.
From the age gaps of your children to him gas lighting you, your family thinking he's 'sorted you out' and that you were a bit 'wild' and your constant state of anxiety.
I still suffer a bit from anxiety but, guess what? Now I'm not with him I haven't had to take medication for it because it is nowhere near as bad.
I believe, from your OP that he could become physically violent towards you - he's already shown violent tendencies, even though it's been towards inanimate objects.
My ex DP started with little things like punching walls, then holding my wrists so I couldn't get away when he was making a 'point' and even though the violence was infrequent (I learnt how to toe the line but then he'd change the boundaries) he ended up strangling me on more than one occasion and punched me repeatedly in front of our DD.
He only did it in front of her once because I called the police. I left the phone on where he couldn't see it and they traced the call - all the while hearing the vile things he was saying to me.
This board is an excellent place for support and there are a lot of people with really great advice.
For me the best advice was contact womens aid.
Even if you just speak over the phone for support initially they'll let you know you're not crazy (here is good for that too).
Nothing you change will be good enough - as I said, my ex just randomly changed the boundaries. So, for example, he would have a go at me if I didn't buy him beer in the shopping. Then one day he had a to at me for buying it because he said I wanted to make him fat and 'take advantage of him financially' by getting him drunk. It sounds ludicrous but meant I didn't know whether to get it next time or not and of course whatever I decided would be wrong.
Get a counsellor. They will listen to you (I never felt listened to before) and will work through things without you feeling the need to justify yourself for anything.
If you want to leave him then get all your important stuff stashed away and try and squirrel away money.
My ex used to shout at me for being 'irresponsible' with money (I wasn't) but I had the last laugh as I'd been putting away money into an account - not lots, but enough to move house and be ok for a little while)
Try and find a friend or family member you can confide in. I was able to speak to one of my best friends and although she lives abroad her support meant a great deal to me.
You might try and write off what he's doing as 'only words' or 'I'm over sensitive' but for me the lasting effect of this behaviour was worse than the physical stuff. I was anxious and had started to doubt everything. I couldn't decide what to buy down the shop for dinner for fear it'd be 'wrong' or too expensive. I'd lost my confidence in my parenting ability too.
Now I look back and realise it was because of him.
Wishing you all the best.
Just idle curiosity really, but I wonder how you say he is a good provider, you have a nice house, money to spend, expensive holidays, and yet you always go over budget on the shopping. Just how much of a spendthrift are you on groceries? Does he have any suggestions on how you could do it more economically, and do you ignore those suggestions? (And how do you even overspend on petrol, surely the car only has one tank?!) What I'm getting at is, is it definitely you being rubbish with money or is the budget unnecessarily tight?
If you don't feel like answering, just give it some thought.
So sorry you are going throught this. Yes it is EA and i like alot of others on here i understand COMPLETELY what you are saying.
I just want to say one thing to you first and that is the idea that you have been physically abusive towards him. Of course he is loving the idea that you have but you havent. You may have lost the rag and he may have pinned you down to get you to stop BUT he wast remotely scared or intimidated by you (i bet my life on it). He just wanted you to stop cause you were irritating him. Its like two people having a shouting match/arguement - it isnt realy abusive as such unless one person is afraid, intimidated etc. Lundys book will expalin it much beter than me.
I was exactly like you and one night i too lost the rag and put my hand over H mouth and told him to shut up. I just could take any more of his sh*t. He swatted me off like a fly and then like your H made out i was the agressive one. He was so delighted.
So please please put that out of your head and concentrate on all that he is guilty of not what he has very cleverly made you feel guilty about. And i know its not just him that has made you feel guilty becuase you are a lovely person you feel awful yourself about this misdemeanor but take a step back - he drove you to it and like i said it hasnt knocked a feather out of him it has just given him something else to make you feel bad about. Put if out of your head.
Also, listen to some of these very clever posters on here - they really do know what they are talking about - i know from experience........
Yes - Women's Aid would talk with you. You are in a textbook abusive relationship.
BTW when he says he's letting a lot of things go, that tells you just how much he wants control, and how much he thinks you should make life easy for him! I mean, no tea bags in the caddy? I know that was hypothetical: but if it's typical, it shows just how much he expects you to wait on him, smooth his life out for him, and take the blame for everything that goes wrong - even if it has nothing to do with you.
Don't buy into that 'I'm overly sensitive' belief either. Controlling people foster that belief because they think they should be allowed to criticise you freely, without response from you. On the other hand, if you criticise them, it's a major event.
They also train you into sensitivity, because you're constant checking what you say and do so that you don't have an argument.
It's no way to live.

No one has notice that I'm depressed and I'm not ok I cry myself to sleep almost every night and I was doing good I went a week without digging my nails into my skin and making myself bleed but I broke again and I did it again. The person I would normally talk to about I'm not ok is my sister but she's pregnant and I don't want her to worry and have something happen to the baby but I don't know what to do and I don't feel comfortable talking to anyone else about this

Come clean to her, she may be pregnant but that doesn't make her incapable of helping her sister. You need a rock to help you through this and avoid hurting yourself.00|00|0
The thing is I've always has to be the rock for everyone in my family even though I'm the youngest
Well even the rock of the family needs a rock of their own you know? You can't be expected to bear everything.

Already the spine chilling trailer of Shankar's upcoming flick 'I' has set huge expectations among audiences. For its riveting visual effects, mind blowing looks of hero Vikram, exotic locations and death defying stunt sequences, the very first trailer itself generated a thunderous response. And here comes the making video of the film, showcasing the hard-work breathed by Shankar into this big budgeted entertainer.
In theism video, Shankar explains how he conceptualized the story of a body builder played by Vikram. For his role, the talented and perfectionist Tamil hero has to undergo various changes to his physique as he puts more weight for one role and lean look for another. Also 25% of the film was shot in China and Shankar captures the brilliance of virgin China locales through cinematographer PC Sreeram's eye.
Various foreign stunt-designers have designed action sequences for 'I' while famous Weta Digital Studios designed Vikram's makeup for that crippled-looking character. All these guys shared their experience and what labor went into the making of this wonderful flick that got its music scored by Oscar winner AR Rahman.
Though the narrative of this making video is in Tamil, still it excites film lovers as we journey through much of the film already. In Telugu, the flick got titled as 'I-Manoharudu' and soon audio launch of Telugu version is expected.

Our history
The company's three founders, Esben Østergaard, Kasper Støy and Kristian Kassow, meet at University of Southern Denmark in Odense. Together, they came up with the idea of creating a light robot that is easy to install and program while analyzing the special requirements for robots in the food industry. They could see that heavy, expensive and unwieldy robots dominated robotics and that there was a market for a more user-friendly option.
Universal Robots was officially founded in 2005, with the goal of making robot technology accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises. The establishment of the company was made possible by an investment by Syddansk Innovation.
The Danish State Investment Fund was convinced of Universal Robots' potential and joined the management team and Syddansk Innovation in investing in the company.
The first products are sold by distributors in Denmark and Germany. Universal Robots' first product was the UR5, a six-jointed articulated arm robot that revolutionised the market for industrial robots. The UR5 weighs 18 kg, has a lifting capacity of up to 5 kg and a working radius of 85 cm.
Universal Robots has expanded its business to include all of Europe.
Universal Robots enters the Asian market and establishes a local office in China.
Universal Robots' UR10, is launched. It's targeted towards larger tasks with a lifting ability of 10 kg and a reach of 130 cm. The company also establishes an American subsidiary, based in New York, USA. A total of 1,600 UR robots are installed and operating worldwide.
Universal Robots establishes a new subsidiary in Shanghai and also establishes a distributor network in South America and Oceania.
The company moves to its new headquarters on Energivej in Odense and expands its production area to a massive 12,000 m2. The third generation of the lightweight robot arms, UR5 and UR10, is introduced with a variety of new features at the AUTOMATICA Show in Munich, Germany.
Universal Robots also establishes a subsidiary in Barcelona, Spain.
With eight new adjustable safety rated functions, Universal Robots' robot arms are the only robots in the world that intelligently adapt advanced safety settings to each specific application.
More than 3,500 UR robots are installed worldwide.
A new UR subsidiary for the APAC region opens in Singapore.
Universal Robots launches UR3 – the world's most flexible, lightweight table-top robot to work alongside humans. The new 3 kilo payload robot for light assembly tasks and automated workbench scenarios is presented at trade shows in Shanghai, Chicago and Hannover.
Universal Robots is acquired by Teradyne for $285M. Teradyne is the leading supplier of automated test equipment used to test semiconductors, wireless products, data storage, and complex electronic systems. The company currently employs approximately 3,800 people worldwide. Universal Robots continues operations under same management while UR's headquarters, R&D, and production facilities remain in Denmark. Learn more about Teradyne www.teradyne.com

After examining the instructions of the item, it's truly no surprise that the Glutimax results are not what would certainly be expected from a business that has been in the game for as long. First, the Glutimax cream has to be shaken thoroughly before use. That thinks to shake a jar of Cream? Nobody. Second of all, the guidelines say to use the item twice each day after bathing for obvious outcomes. Do most individuals take 2 bathrooms daily? Possibly not.

Lost In The Loud Silence
Lost in the Loud Silence examines the unraveling of one woman's identity, based on a friend's true story, as she strives to regain stability during a break in her marriage.
Exploring the Lacanian notion that we are transformed by images of ourselves, be it in mirrors, photographs, or through the eyes of others, I worked with an actor to visualize what an unraveling might look like. I wanted to create something new by stacking various truths into one scenario, and explore the emotional terrain of an identity in flux.
Thank You!

Sooooooooo... (Awkward Silence) What's your favorite television show? Feel free to post any TV show you know and love! You guys like George Lopez (WAPPA!)? What about Friends (Hey... How you doin'?)? Or maybe even Phineas and Ferb (Hey, where's Perry?)? Personally, my favorite TV show is Seinfeld... Kramer is hilarious!
You can put down any TV show! However, if you put down Hannah Montana, I will personally call Soap, Ghost, Price, and Chuck Norris and have them go to your house, beat the crap out of you, hang you by your hair, give you 1007 paper cuts, and dip you in a pool full of citric acid... Other than that, have fun, and go crazy!

44 years ago today, on the 18th October 1967, 'The Jungle Book' came to our cinemas. I wasn't aware of this until I received an email about it yesterday. Immediately I was taken back in time ….
I don't remember when the film came to Germany but I do remember my mum taking me and my brother and some cousins (I think) to the nearest town with a cinema to see 'Das Dschungelbuch'.
My mum did something very British: she queued!
Everbody else behaved German: they didn't!
Result, by the time we got to the counter to get our tickets, we were told the cinema was full.
My mum then complained so much that they let us watch the film sitting on the floor on the side – unthinkable nowadays, just think of health and safety!!!
And that was my first experience of the Jungle Book. A few years later it was at the cinema again and I was able to watch it 'properly', sitting on a seat. Then, as students in Dortmund, a friend and I went to see it three times, because each time we watched it we found some new funny things – what a difference to nowadays when you can just watch and rewind films as many times as you like.
To this day, the Jungle Book is still my favourite Disney Film.
What's yours and have you seen any in German? Let me know by leaving a comment below, on facebook or on Twitter.
I'll leave you with a few clips (in German, of course).
44 years ago today, on the 18th October 1967, 'The Jungle Book' came to our cinemas. I wasn't aware of this until I received an email about it yesterday. Immediately I was taken back in time ….

In loving memory of our Gus who we love so much. Gus will be greatly missed and be in our hearts forever.
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.
Dear Gus,
What is heaven like? Do you like it so far? I knew you would! J The first time that I saw you, I instantly fell in love and you were the cutest little pup. Little did we know, you would be driving us crazy and not always behaving like you should but God gave us the patience!
You loved sitting out in the sun for hours, chasing the squirrels, going for long walks along the lakefront and in the woods, which was your happy place!
You loved eating your peanut butter flips and getting the doggy cup from Dairy Queen. I will make sure Jesus gives you all of those things every day. After the few million toys we got you, you finally found the one that made you smile. Your Lamb, Lamby pie as we called it! Don't worry; I will make sure Juliette doesn't eat him.
Speaking of Juliette, I know the two of you didn't get along very well and you didn't like us very much for having another dog take over your home, but we wanted to get you a friend that would play with you and keep you company as we went to work every day. Although Juliette was rough with you, I know she likes you and misses you very much. I will miss the doggy kisses the two of you gave each other.
There are so many memories to keep, but I don't want to hold you up from playing with Jesus and all your doggy friends.
You are now in your forever home where you are young and strong again and have no limitations. We will be sad for a while to come but we will never forget you and you will always be a part of our family.
And, you are welcome to come by anytime to sit in the backyard in the summer time or play in the snow during the winter, and come on walks with us.
It's true what they say a dog is a man's best friend; well in this case, a dog is a girl's best friend.
People say "it's just a dog" or: why are you so emotional over this" Well, you were and still are a part of the family and that will never change. Losing a pet is hard and people who say these things just don't understand the bond that a pet and a human share.
I hope you liked your life on earth but I know you will love your life in heaven. We will see you very soon and boy oh boy, I sure can't wait for that day!
Lots of hugs and kisses
Tribute To A Best Friend
Sunlight streams through window pane
unto a spot on the floor....
then I remember,
it's where you used to lie,
but now you are no more.
Our feet walk down a hall of carpet,
and muted echoes sound....
then I remember,
It's where your paws would joyously abound.
A voice is heard along the road,
and up beyond the hill,
then I remember it can't be yours....
your golden voice is still.
But I'll take that vacant spot of floor
and empty muted hall
and lay them with the absent voice
and unused dish along the wall.
I'll wrap these treasured memorials
in a blanket of my love
and keep them for my best friend
until we meet above.
What a beautiful face!
This picture was taken a few days before he passed. I could never get him to look at the camera with me but this time I got one.
Miss you so much my little pumpkin!

Decent show. Good to have an MC who isn't a total retard/loser like they usually are. Me and my friend both went "WTF" when Shougo started dancing with Rinka because it dawned on us that this guy is actually a smooth operator.
For the record I've already put Miyabi in the trash bin. She raises all of the flags for character traits (well more like love interest traits) that I dislike.
Rinka and Mr. X lead the pack for me followed by Konoe.
Could be a decent show, or it could be another series that fades into obscurity because of poor execution, should be interesting.

I watched the second episode and the series seems to be quite average so far, but enjoyable, at least each girl is getting fair time and it seems they throw hints/red herrings for each of the girls (phone, crab).
Anyways even if she is quite weird so far I like Ikusu the most, the one who apparently seems to be out of the games. I prefer girls who don't fall instantly and manifestly for the MC. The other girls didn't impress me that much. Even if tbh she doesn't even appear in the ED, ninja skill?, (didn't check the OP) so she seems to be really out of the games for now.
So far Mei and Konoe are the one I'm betting on to be the imouto even if Miyabi shold be the most suited. Or the girl phoning is not really her sister, but someone who is teasing him instead. Like Ikusu. Scheming to keep him for herself warning him directly and "indirectly" about an imaginary sister.

Hmmm. High standards here. Personally, I like everyone so far. The MC is great. Konoe is sweet and serious. Maybe she's after the heir, but she likes him, too, so that's okay. And she's played by Ishihara Kaori, so I love her voice. Miyabi is a terrific tsundere. Perfect version of the type, well played by Sakura Ayane with nice amounts of both tsuntsun and deredere. Rinka is honestly proud, but still able to see and respond to the MC. I'm gradually gaining more respect for Taketatsu Ayane's work. Ikusu is a fine character, with her straightforward attitude and naked lolling about. And Koshimizu Ami's voice. And Mei is complex, and played by rising star Hidaka Rina. What's not to like?

I thought TBS shows were some of the last to get streamed (and usually, they are), but Funi's been picking a few up (Haganai, Sankarea last cour), and now... we can add this one to the list. Makes me curious if anybody's going to pick up KoiChoco.

Ep3. This show knows exactly what it wants to do and does it. Romantic moe fanservice with a main character you can respect. And excellent voices for the task. Good stuff, with zero intellectual pretensions and some emotion.

Hmm ... well, I watched ep 2 and tbh the main thing that jumped out at me were the poor production values. Not a good thing for the main thing I notice jumping out at me is something like that - that means the story is not engaging me. :\

Ep 3:
Well that last part made this seem like the penultimate episode. Since it's so early, I'll bet Miyabi was his "little sister" when they were young, but not blood-related.
I gave Shougo props last episode for his mad ballroom dancing skills and alpha-MC actions. But this episode errr... I'm going to have to temporarily take that man card back from him for now. When two young girls are willing to sleep with you topless with them clearly in love with you, how can you not do anything? I mean I saw what he was thinking about, just do them both! At least one of them isn't your blood-related sister!
I suppose I should give him credit on his tremendous willpower, I guess.

Generation cycles, population cycles with a period of approximately one generation, have been observed in a variety of field and laboratory studies. Such dynamics are predicted to arise through the effects of resource competition and cannibalism or involve consumer–natural enemy interactions. We first show, using a new highly simplified model, that generation cycles are a very common outcome of strongly age–structured intraspecific interactions involving cannibalism. We then analyse a series of unique long–term time–series of ladybeetle (Coccinellidae) abundances from tropical Indonesia. Some of the time–series display clear generation cycles, and we argue that there is strong evidence that these are caused by intraspecific cannibalism.

Is there a way to do a live change between the mockups? Similar to this app, http://codecanyon.net/item/wp-responsive-simulator/8056357?WT.oss_phrase=mockups&WT.oss_rank=2&WT.z_author=futuredesigngrp&WT.ac=search_list
Nope. Mockup pretty much just work on Images and Videos. And once you pick a certain model Mockup, it will be the one for viewing.
Would you consider developing that? I would be interested, I would also pay 3 times the amount for that feature….
What I'm looking for is just a set of buttons to change the mockups (resize the video / images) with out refreshing the page and video.
The closest thing you can go for that is putting the Mockup in a Carousel or a Tab. That way, different Mockups, Images or so in one plugin. Carousel can scroll between item to item without refreshing the page. While tabs also have those buttons you mentioned and change from one item to another.
I love this plugin, and for my current project, I'd really like to put a slider in it. It doesn't need to be Revolution Slider. I'm just sliding through a couple screenshots from my app, which are sized exactly to the screen size. How can I accomplish this?
Images will automatically fit in the size of the mockup.
HI- I just bought your plugin but the short code doesn't work on my site. especially video and size. I checked your demo site and there was two examples for shortcodes. i want to see more short code examples. I don't know why my site doesn't work for video and resizing. Please let me know
Hello! We recently replied to your ticket. You can find it here: http://support.gambit.ph/tickets/shortcake-doesnt-work-please-let-me-know-how-to-solve-it
I have purchased, downloaded and installed your plugin successfully, however the Screen Mockup is not appearing in my VC. The theme I'm using is http://themeforest.net/item/saint-creative-onepage-multipurpose-theme/9214429.
I'd prefer to use this as described without have to manually add shortcodes and their attributes. Thank you!
Your plugin's compatibility also depends of the version of VC that you use. If it is modified, there is a little chance where this can happen. That is also one another reason why this plugin also do shortcodes.
Back on the problem, you might need to check if your modified VC built-in from your theme actually blocks the 3rd party VC addons from usage. You'll know this from your Theme's Documentation or from their Support System.
If their VC do actually allow 3rd party plugins, you might need to file a ticket to our Support Website at http://support.gambit.ph containing a backend access so we can check what's wrong. Please also elaborate where did you try to put a Mockup, if its a page, post or a custom post type.
Hi, i asked you about the resizing problem on your support forum! Please let me know how to fix this:) Thank you!
Hello there!
We just recently replied to your ticket. Please check your Support Ticket again. Thank you.
Hi. Does it work with WordPress 4.2.3 and visual composer 4.6.1?
Yes it does. And we are also actively supporting this plugin.
Can I shortcode inside for sliders ?
Thanks so much!
This depends if your slider do support shortcodes.
Hi there,
Do you plan to add new iPhones, iPads and other modern tablets & phones?
Thanks, Igor
Hi Igor,
Yes we do. We prefer to add the latest mobile and tablets by bulk.
Do you have any suggestions on what we can add in Mockups by any chance?
Great! Please add all the latest verstions of the most popular brands. Thanks!
Hi, before being, i'd like to know if there's a way to change the mockup image, the devices. As in, I have realistic mockups, i'd like to know if there's a way to put my mockup and display the video in it ?
Okay I actually bought it. It's fine with my previous problems, i can just change the image in the original files. But now, there's no way to resize the device. It's huge. I added size='200px' for example, without the "px", or width, or whatever, the device is still huge. if you could send me an email, that would be easier. I could show you what i want to do exactly ( like three iphones on the line with text under it)
Also, the youtube video display says there's an error. Nothing play
Hi there, you can resize the mockup depending on your container's size. This will mean you can add padding or custom CSS.
As for the youtube video, is there an error message? Can you also show us the video url?
What you mean depending on my container's size ? I did put the plugin in a One Pager (Brooklyn template). How can I resize your mockup, because i tried everything in custom css and nothing works. So please at least, right an example.
For the Youtube Link, i tried again, and it's fine.
The Autoplay does not work. The hidecontrols does not work. The size does not work. I already asked for refund.
padding-left: 100px;
padding top: 100px;
You can change which padding direction you and the amount of your preference. Alternatively, you can also do the same thing using Row/Column settings, but this will adjust the whole contents inside the row (if you have other elements in it).
You can also divide your row into columns, this will also shrink the size of your mockup.
You can add support for Iframe?
The current version doesn't support iframe yet. But I'll note this down as a suggestion to our developers.
OK thank you. This option would be very useful
Have you added iPhone 6 and 6 plus to your plugin? Tks.
The plugin doesn't have iPhone 6 and plus yet. But we'll add this within a week or two.
Hi there, this plugin looks great, is it still supported? I see that there hasn't been an update for over a year now?
Yes, this plugin is supported. We test our plugins whenever a new version of WordPress comes out.
Also Updates will be up in the future. We are still working on the iPhone 6 mockup.
Hi, thanks for providing a demo. I found a few bugs. 1) browser (sliver) is an iphone mockup not a browser mockup. 2) getting horizontal black lines with macbook pro. I know you can get rid of it with the offset BUT it causes the vimeo controls to stretch off screen too. Any way to fix? (eg: how easy is it to edit the macbookpro template myself and replace in plugin for correct aspect for video, rather than using the offset option. For me it looks bad if the vimeo controls are half off the viewport.
Hi mastubbs! About the issues:
1) This has been fixed on the recent version. If you want to grab a new copy, just file a ticket in our Support site for this one.
2) Currently the only way to remove black bars is by resizing the video itself. This is recommended to retain the quality of your video.
i dont use visual composer….how to create the shortcode instead?
Hi there! We have a list of shortcodes in our Live Preview.
Feel free to check them. You can also click on the Launch Demo if you want to see how do the shortcodes exactly work.
This plugin is very good.! But I wish I had a few options that i can control YouTube.This plugin seems to be perfect if only additional loop option!
Hi there lemonncake! Can you tell us more what kind of options you are looking for?
in addition to the existing options [Hide Video Controls] and [Autoplay Video], we would like to have [Loop play Video] option added.
Thank you for the ideas. I'll note this down on our suggestion list.
Can you use this plugin with this plugin? https://codecanyon.net/item/loupe-image-magnifying-glass-for-visual-composer/8152322
Because I want to create a mockup image and then place the Loupe Image Glass on the image.
Currently, this is not possible unless you prefer a static image which can be workaround by taking a screenshot.
Thanks for your interest with the plugin. I'll note this down and let our developers know about the idea.
Quite nice, but could I suggest it would be better with real device images not just a pen drawing. These days people expect to see an actual device or photo not just a drawing.
We have a similar plugin as what you mentioned, you might be looking for the Photo Real Responsive Mockups: https://codecanyon.net/item/photo-real-responsive-product-mockups/11605860?s_rank=10
Hiya! Currently, our Mockup images is dependent on our own options and designs.
But just in case, we'll also keep in mind about your idea of adding an actual image in one of our future updates. Have a nice day!
Awesome. Thanks
Hi, i really love this plugin!!! It works very well on my post's. Only thing i can't get to work is, the mockup dont show up on my blogpage. How can i get the mockup also on my blogpage? I'm using optimizepress btw. Any idea? Hope to hear from you… kind regards Jak
Hello Jak, I'm very sorry about the late response. By any chance, does your blogpage support shortcodes? There should be no problem if it does. The only likely scenario is either the blogpage doesn't accept shortcodes or there is a content in the page that may cause a conflict.
With this kind of concern, it is advisable to contact us via Support System: http://support.gambit.ph/ Please do expect that we'll ask for your sample page and a login. This will be very helpful for us to replicate and see the exact problem from the backend.
Hey! Glad to see the plugin has been updated! The new version mockups_for_vc has a different name than the old, vc_mockups so installation doesn't replace the original and now i have two versions installed.
Is there a process for updating the plugin from a previous version or should we just set up the new one from square one and eventually delete the original?
There was no mention of updating in any of the documentation.
Hi there! There should be no problems deactivating your old version and activating the new version at this point. Your pages with mockups should remain intact and working.
But you really want to replace the file names, you can always extract your mockups-for-vc.zip and rename the folder to vc_mockups (zip it again) before installing the plugin.

The Importance of garage Door Alarms
A garage door alarm can come in handy for a variety of different reasons. While much of your belongings could be easily replaced, most of your "special" souvenirs and valuable items might be irreplaceable. Once an intruder gains entry to your garage, they can work undetected, and the tools that they need are usually right there. They might have the capacity to open your carport entryway, and back their vehicle inside to take out things from your house secretly. However, door alarms can be a dosage of their own medicine. If you are uncertain whether you need a garage alarm system, here are several reasons why you should install one. Also know about 6 second break in.
1.Prevention of Crime.
The garage alarm is a highly adaptable shock sensor alarm. It is very suitable for the garage because it needs no installing and assembly. You just simply dangle it on any doorknob. Once installed, it momentarily grabs any vibration. Once the caution is stumbled, it will create a 98dB warning sound for 20-30 seconds, and automatically reset in 3-5 seconds. The sound the device creates is loud enough to disturb the burglar, and once he or she begins to panic, it is more likely that the person will be captured before he or she does the crime. The level of sensitivity of the alert can be effectively balanced utilizing a screwdriver. It is perfect for anyone and works extremely well almost everywhere.
2.Fire Detection.
Aside from intruders, fire can also pose a danger to your garage. When a fire starts, the best decision is to put it out right away before it builds up. What is good with door alarm systems is that it can help avoid fire. Like motion detectors, the smoke detector is also included in the control panel. As soon as the sensors identify the smoke, you will be alerted at once. In case you are away and can't take care of the situation, the control panel can send information to your company so that they can notify the firefighters.
3.Garage insurance discount.
The installation of door alarm systems is not only beneficial for your garage safety. Also, it is useful as regards to property insurance. Garage insurance providers offer special discounts to properties with alarm systems because the risk of robbery is a lot lower as compared to those without an alarm system.
4-Most alarms are wireless.
They are made using a magnetic system. When the magnetism is broken, the door alarm produces a loud piercing sound. Some offer several different sound settings. Some even offer just a simple chime, which is perfect for the business situation because it will alert you to the presence of an incoming customer. There are even alarms available with a keypad system in place. The sounds will not stop just because the magnetism is enacted, the person with the key code much punch the number into getting the sound to stop. Some also come with leg extenders, so not only is a sound emitted when a handle is jiggled or opened, but the leg stops the doors opening altogether, thereby preventing entrance or exit. A door alarm is very affordable, with prices starting as low as five dollars for a variety of fewer features. The value of a garage door alarm system cannot be underestimated.
