what is a good home security system?




I am shopping around for a good home security system that isn’t super expensive and works wirelessly as we do not have a landline. So far, all of the reviews I have read for the top two companies (ADT and Protect America) sound like horror stories of fraud and faulty equipment. I just don’t want to get ripped off!

home security system monitoring?




We purchased a new home that has a security system installed by the builder. I have researched and found prices from .95 to per month. I have also came across horror stories of contracts on security systems.

Does anybody know of a company that monitor the alarm at a good rate if I pay yearly? I will not sign a contract.

FOXNews.com Rave Review Included In TV Ads for Michael Moore’s ‘Sicko’
Posted by Tim Graham on June 19, 2007 – 14:22.

Sometimes, it’s a little tough for the Fox News-bashing left to stamp the Ailes Network with the Uniformly Right-Wing complaint. For example, it’s not every day that Fox News looks liberal on CNN. But I caught the new commercial for leftist propagandist Michael Moore’s new mockumentary "Sicko" on CNN late this morning. One of three ecstatic reviewers in the TV ad is Roger Friedman of FOXNews.com ("Brilliant!")

Is that one of those tricky studio edits that doesn’t really represent the critic’s opinion? Um, no. Friedman’s online review was a rave. It began: "Filmmaker Michael Moore’s brilliant and uplifting new documentary, ‘Sicko,’ deals with the failings of the U.S. healthcare system, both real and perceived. But this time around, the controversial documentarian seems to be letting the subject matter do the talking, and in the process shows a new maturity."

Friedman added: "Unlike many of his previous films (‘Roger and Me,’ ‘Bowling for Columbine,’ ‘Fahrenheit 9-11′), ‘Sicko’ works because in this one there are no confrontations. Moore smartly lets very articulate average Americans tell their personal horror stories at the hands of insurance companies. The film never talks down or baits the audience." Friedman even agreed with Moore that the film was not partisan – but the commercial has two jokey cuts mocking President Bush, including the old gaffe that OB-GYNS can’t "practice their love with women" due to the liability problem. Mature? Nonpartisan?

Of course, film reviewing is about the art of film, and not just the politics, I haven’t seen the film so I can’t comment on its maturity or lack of confrontation. (The commercial does feature Moore lying to a security guard about whether his camera was on. Cheeky? Or too casual about lying?)

But Friedman also raved the last Moore film was "brilliant" at FOXNews.com: "It turns out to be a really brilliant piece of work, and a film that members of all political parties should see without fail. As much as some might try to marginalize this film as a screed against President George Bush, "F9/11" — as we saw last night — is a tribute to patriotism, to the American sense of duty — and at the same time a indictment of stupidity and avarice." He added it was a must-see: "But, really, in the end, not seeing ‘F9/11′ would be like allowing your First Amendment rights to be abrogated, no matter whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat."

So much for the cartoon image of Fox News as a land of Bush-loving automatons. The other rave reviewers in the commercial are Leah Rozen of People Magazine ("A massive home run!") and Jan Stuart of Newsday ("Wildly entertaining!")

UPDATE: Scott Whitlock e-mailed that Friedman had a similar rave for Al Gore’s "An Inconvenient Truth" — it’s featured on the cover of the DVD, he says. The quote: "It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative…your mind will be changed in a nanosecond."
