I would suggest contacting your local locksmith, and have him/her do a "Security Audit". Tell them your concerns and fears they will listen to you!
I have found the deadbolt to be a good device against a break-in but usually the door frame fails. Have your security expert strengthen the frame and install a door sleeve for maximum resistance to a kicking attack.
If you have glass within 3 feet (arms length) of your door I would suggest a double cylinder dead bolt (keyed on both sides). Using a key on the outside is of little use, if a thief can break a glass and unlock the door from the inside

I actually don’t use AVG. My post was to point out VERY easy FREE software that would help keep a PC running well. But AVG isn’t all that bad. It’s by far not the best, and it is PAINFULLY slow when scanning, but it will keep a PC protected from most of the PROBLEM viruses out there.

1. Use WPA encryption (WPA-PSK) it's less crackable then WEP.

2. Make a passphrase that is upper & lower case and has some numbers thrown in there as well, again harder to crack.
some like mAkE1t5eCurE0rel53 and as long as possible.

3. Use MAC access control so only you or authorized PC's can connect (even if you do have encryption turned on)

4. Turn off DHCP use static addresses.

5. Turn off SSID (and change it) unless your card really needs it (some do)

6. Change username/password of access unit front end

7. Ensure you have the usual firewall enabled on your PC.

8. Paranoia rules, turn WLAN off if your not using it

These are the rules I stick to and have not been hacked……..yet

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Not to point you out, but give credit to the actual people who you “Stole ideas from” Jimmyrcom posted most of the things you did like 1 year before. It’s not cool just to give tut’s knowing you did nothing.

Social Security tips are tips you reported to your employer. Allocated tips are tips you did not report to your employer, but your employer is required to assume you received based on IRS data.

If you have tips in excess of what is reported on your W-2, either as SS tips or allocated tips, you report them on Form 4137 which is attached to your tax return.

not being paranoid hun, not at all, i keep telling my foreighn friends the same and they never listen to me and just grin like i am paronoid, o well, some got their wallet stollen from their back jeans pocket, paranoid huh, i said hahaha
any how, you should be doing great with a messenger bag, easy to carry around, you can stuff a lot of stuff in there and you can swing it around and all and keep your hands free when needed, really a great option, most woman do so here anyways, we also have the regular bags that we carry close under our armpits but hey, when you travel and wanna see things its nice to have both hands free when you shop right??hahahaha

nother tip, wear sneakers, most things are walking distance and sneakers be great and since we been having some crazy weather lately, try to get you one of them small umbrella's,purse size that you can stuff into your bag, lately we been having lots of rain showers from drizzels to pooring rain.

well, enjoy your stay here when you get here,

Before unpacking, measure the exact width of the new security door as is.
Make sure it will fit in the door frame without any problem.
If everything is good, I suggest that you use some shims to rest the hinge side. Use as much shim as needed to raise up the door to the top piece.
I suggest that you use 2 1/2" Simpson strong drive screws (or lag screws) to temporarily attach the door. This will help if you need to make adjustments since you can unscrew them easily if needed. It is your decision if you want to use the one way screws that come with the door for final attachements. Replace them (screws) one at a time. Good luck!!!

For free total PC security, Sygate Personal Firewall for firewall, AVG for anti-virus, Ad-aware for adware, Eusing Free Registy fixer for repairing registry errors. And for goodness sake, DON’T USE INTERNET EXPLORER.

Good luck….even someone with an EXTREMELY well documented case can be initially turned down 1 to 3 times before they give in and let you have it.

I would consult a SS Attorney and let them start the process for you…those with representation seem to have an easier time with it than those without.

"Social Security tips" are the (presumably) actual tips that you have recorded on your tip record and reported to your employer. They are recorded in Box 7 of your W-2.

"Allocated tips" (entered in Box are computed by your employer by subtracting the reported tips of all employees from 8% (or an approved lower rate) of food and drink sales (other than carryout sales and sales with a service charge of 10% or more). Your share of that amount was figured using either a method provided by an employer-employee agreement or a method provided by IRS regulations based on employees' sales or hours worked. For information about the exact allocation method used, ask your employer.

You must report allocated tips on your tax return unless either of the following exceptions applies.
• You kept a daily tip record, or other evidence that is as credible and as reliable as a daily tip record, as required under rules explained earlier.
• Your tip record is incomplete, but it shows that your actual tips were more than the tips you reported to your employer plus the allocated tips.
