How To Make Your Home More Secure
Cases of home break-ins have been on the rise over the years. Apart from bringing about great financial loss in a household, a home break-in also brings about emotional trauma as one regularly questions their own safety. Today, you can take a number of steps to ensure that your family and belongings are safe and do not have to constantly think about whether or not they are safe. You would be surprised by how little you really have to spend to ensure that your home is protected from burglary. Discussed in this article are a number of home security solutions and these different packages are important .
Begin by inspecting all your home windows and repairing the damaged ones. A burglar will be able to unlock a broken window or one that does not lock well easily from the outside, thereby putting your family in danger and your belongings at risk of bring stolen. You need to ensure that you destroy this opportunity for the sake of your family and the only way to do so is getting all damaged windows repaired. To be sure that your windows are installed in the right way, hire a professional to look at them.
Secondly, ensure that you upgrade your door knobs. Police reports show that most criminals usually get into house through the front door. If you have a weak door, have it replaced with a new one and then add new heavy-duty locks to make it extremely difficult for anyone to get in without a key or your permission.You should also consider getting a door barricade to make it even harder for one to get in without your permission.
Thirdly, you can also increase your home's security by installing window sensors. Get a window sensor since it detects all movement made by the window you have it installed in. Any movement when the alarm is on will sound it thereby notifying authorities of a possible break in. You can get window sensors at a relatively cheap price in any shop but to ensure that you get the best possible deal, be sure to look around and do not forget to look into a manufacturer's quality since some window sensors may be faulty.
You can also install security cameras to increase security in your home. It is important to note that on being asked if they would rob a home with a security camera and alarm system, most burglars said that they would not risk it and so maybe all you need is something to make them think twice about choosing your home.Security cameras also help the police a lot in tracking burglars so having one installed will make it easier and faster for the police to catch a burglar thereby restoring your family's sense of safety.

Pearl IzumiMen's P.R.O. Escape Shorts(Return to Product Page)Add your own review
Aero saddles come at an expense to comfort. P.R.O. Escape Shorts is worth more than money. Put the two together and you spent your money the best it can be spent. No manner how many miles the day has in store for me, these shorts make it happen!
I am an aggressive club cyclist approx. cycling approx. 6,000 miles a year. I am 5' 10 , 36 waist approx. 175 -180 lbs. depending on season) Finding comfortable shorts is difficult, between sizefit and chamois it can be a pain in the neck. Ordering, trying on and returning far too often. Most shorts, depending on manufacturer can be size medium to extra large to fit me. The large was the correct size. The chamois is positioned where it needs to be with great cushioning. Fit and cut is great. Bib shorts do not fit me, upper trunk and shoulders pull bib shorts up into my groin. So that is not an option for me. Size runs true to chart on site. It has been a very warm and humid summer. These Pro shorts wick fantastically. I am ordering my second pair. BTD pricing is best I could find.
This latest rendition in 2017 corrected the sizing problem of PI's previous year's top of the line short. The Large I had was more like a Medium. I always buy the top of the line PI shorts for maximum comfort and the chamois in them has steadily improved over the years.
These shorts were recommended to me by Pearl Izumi customer service, after they discontinued the P.R.O. In-R-Cool short. I have observed a sad trend from the company for the past few years when modifying their shorts in the same price range - sometimes while retaining the same model name - they are using lower quality components, specifically the chamois. They did this a few years ago with their Select Attack shorts - they went from being comfortable for 30 miles to only about 20 miles, with the P.R.O. Escape shorts, the chamois is a lot wider than that to which I am accustomed, but with much less cushion. I don't think they sell a more expensive short, if that is what it is going to take to get the same quality... I suppose I need to look at a different brand.
Sizing is getting more difficult amongst Manufacturers. I am 5'10, 176 lbs. in ride season. Louis Garneau large used to fit great. Now the LG's I tried were too tight and short in leg length. I tried Assos, for me they were cut strangely. Tried other pairs and then I saw these Pearl Izumi PRO Escape on sale. I do not have large legs but still ordered XL as PRO I was told more a Race Fit. They do fit me well, unfortunately I am somewhere between a Large and XL. The XL fits decently, just not perfectly. Large was too tight for me. The weather I wore the first 2 rides was in the 90's and high humidity. These shorts wick moisture fantastically and chamois offers great comfort. A draw string would have been nice. Still a great pair of shorts.
Really like the material of the short BUT it did irritate soft tissue. Was very uncomfortable.... Could be a lot of reasons for this bike setup etc... but i went with Assos short.... really the best stuff out there.
I'm mainly a road bike rider, averaging 30-40 miles per ride. Comfort is key for me, I've tried several brands and keep coming back to these. The padding is excellent and the material is very comfortable. If you haven't tried these and are looking for a great pair of shorts, you need to try these.
Easily the best riding shorts I've owned, and worth every penny. I bought a pair prior to a 2-day 175 mile ride. After riding 100 on the first day I regretted only buying one pair...so I washed them in the hotel sink and dried them with the hotel hair dryer so I could use them for day 2!
As usual, PI's top-of-the-line shorts have a comfortable chamois, and the fabric is cool and breathable. But it seems that they sacrificed support. The fabric is not a strong and supportive as the previous P.R.O. fabric, which on a long ride can make a difference.

text: Guillaumericher 30 Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Title pretty much sums up what I want to discuss on this tread. On our very first play, my group mutually agreed that Tides of battle would introduce a randomness to the game that could spoil strategies. For this reason, we have left out ToB cards. Since then, we have kept on with this rule. I recently give some thought on this decision and realized that RNG could bring a more realistic aspect to the game since there always is unknown in a battle. I am interested in knowing how you guys play the game. Do you guys use tides of battle card? What are your thoughts on ToB ?
