Going through my Art Fight characters reminded me of these ponies I designed! Now they've got some fresh art :]

To Choose Kings (New ways)

So, this is NOT mine - I copied it sometime in the 90′s off the ‘net or an e-mail discussion list.  I have no idea who (or who-all) wrote it - I don’t mean to claim anything except it’s funny and/or food for thought.  SCA reference.

HOW TO CHOOSE A KING

           A new method of selecting kings involved a lottery drawing to determine HOW the next king was chosen. As each reign neared the end, the Throne would draw from a large bag of tiles and the selected tile would describe how the next Crowns would be chosen.

 TRADITION!: Crown by right of arms. (The way we do it now.)

           "Choosing our kings by combat is the worst method there is....

 ....except for all of the others."

THE LEAST SHALL BE FIRST: The last person to receive their Award of Arms shall be Crowned.

RUNNYMEDE: The landed barons and baronesses of the kingdom shall select the Crown by consensus.

MIGHT IS RIGHT: Champions shall compete for the honour of placing their candidates on the throne.

TURN AND TURN ABOUT: The predecessor shall be the heir. (The king before the current king shall be king again.)

MORE OF THE SAME: The current reign shall be extended for another period.

KNIGHT AND PAWN: The winner of a chess tournament shall be Crowned.

HOUSE OF LORDS: The next Crown shall be chosen by consensus among the peers.

PARLIAMENT: The next Crown shall be chosen by a ballot held among those holding Awards of Arms.

DEMOCRACY: The next Crown shall be chosen by a ballot held among all the people of the land.

THE DIE IS CAST: Roll the dice and whosoever's membership number is closest shall be Crowned. (One heck big die would be needed...)

AWARD OF THE THRONE: The current Throne will choose the next Crown.

BY FULL COFFERS: The throne may be "purchased" by the person who gives the largest amount of money to the kingdom.

CONSORTS CHOICE - Draw again and use that tile to pick the consort who then picks the King of their choice.

SHORT KING - Shortest adult on site.

LONG KING - Tallest adult on site.

KING OF TAPE - Person with most unused duct tape.

TAPE KING - Person with most duct tape in use.

SPARKLE KING - Person with greatest weight of jewellery round neck.

GET THE POINT? - Whoever shoots the best Royal Round that day becomes King.

IF THE SHOE FITS - All size adjustments are removed from the Crown of An Tir. Whomever the Crown fits best becomes King.

VOICE OF THE CROWN - Whatever Herald's voice can be heard and understood at the greatest distance becomes King.

FRATERNITY INITIATION - Whoever can swallow the most live goldfish without getting sick becomes King.

FATHER OF THE LAND -- Whoever has the most children on site becomes King.

ROYAL FLUSH -- Whoever gets the highest draw poker hand becomes King.

SPELL-DOWN -- Whoever wins an on-site spelling bee becomes King.

DUCK, YOU SUCKER! -- The Queen throws a rose backward over Her shoulder. Whoever catches it becomes King.

WALK THE DOG - the person who has a pet on a leash is made king.

SILVER KING - any couple celebrating their silver anniversary gets to be king and queen.

SKY KING - the person who flew the farthest to get to the event gets to be king.

ROAD KING - The driver of the car travelling the farthest to get the event is made king.  "You missed the obvious with that last one.  It should be KING OF THE ROAD...." (ducking)

MY BACKYARD - The person who lives closest to the site is made King.

MY GAME - The event autocrat is made King.

OUR GAME - The seneschal of the group hosting the event is made King.

COME IN - The next person entering the site is made King.

           the sign-in sheets and points. The person who's name is under her finger is made King.

DRAWING YOUR DEVICE - A drawing is made from a bag of shields (exactly like the ones used for the lists board) and the person who's device is drawn is made King.

LONG HOURS - The person with the most hours at the gate at this event is made king.

GROWN UP NOW - (What's the minimum age limit to qualify in heavy, rapier and/or archery?) The youngest person to qualify today is made king.

MADGE'S GAME - Whoever is the most wrinkled from washing feast gear is made King.

LET'S MAKE A LAND DEAL - Whoever can afford it can buy the King.

PIN THE TAIL ON THE PRINCE/SS - The candidates stand around in two circles, one for King and one for Queen.  The reigning royalty has the option of being spun about until unable to stand well or playing all comers at Tablero de Gucci. They are blindfolded then led to the circle of candidates and whoever the stick with a pin first is the Prince/ss. Oh, and the candidates are not allowed to move.  The nice thing is the currently royalty gets to decide on both the method of confusion and the size of the pin.  It also allows them to pick who will select the King or Queen.

GLASSY EYE KING:  Those who drove furthest in a single stretch to get to an event after working a full day before and staying up the night before that until all hours of the morning packing the car for the event:-)

CHIVALROUS KING - The person showing the most chivalrousness, gallantry, courtliness, etc. gets the crown.

WARLORD: "Warlords" shall raise armies and compete at a "war". Alliances, generals other than the warlord, and both fighting and non-fighting warlords shall be allowed. Fighting shall continue until only one warlord remains in charge. May the best leader win. (Sort of Ducal war on a grand scale...)

SENIOR CITIZEN - The oldest peer at the event is King.

JUNIOR CITIZEN - The youngest peer at the event is King.

WILL OF IRON: Members of Iron Chain select the Rulers.

A FOOL FOR CROWN: A competition among the Fools to be Ruler. (But what? Best juggling? Longest laugh from an audience? Worst "bit"? Best pie-throw?

WOAW IS ME PART II The Grand High Puntiff is made King (or the most senior member of the order is....heh heh heh)

HUMPTY DUMPTY   Couples line up on the eric and play egg toss, i.e. throw a raw egg back and forth, gradually increasing the distance between them. A couple is eliminated if the egg breaks or is not caught.

ALL PARENT      The couple with the largest number of natural and SCA children on site wins.

HOODMAN'S BLIND The eric is used for a grand game of hoodman's blind. The crown takes the bells. The first person to tag the crown wins. {Hoodman's Blind:- all players but one are blindfolded, traditionally with a detachable hood worn backwards, and set in a circle. The last player is copiously belled and placed in the center. His job is to avoid capture. Once caught he changes roles with his captor.

FIND THE BEAN:  There was once a medieval way in England to choose a "christmass" king, lots of loaves of bread or cake were baked, one of which has a bean in it. Each of the candidates gets a loaf, and whomever finds the bean gets to be king (or queen).  By her own lips by right of BEAN!

IN A CIRCLE:  A medieval game used to choose "the king of fools" was to put all of the contestants into a circle, they would then commence kicking each other on the behind until an individual would withdraw from the game.  this would go on until only two were left and they would trade of backsides until one or the other gave up.  This way we would get a true BLUE (and black) Bottom on the thrown.

LOTS of FUN - A number, X, is picked randomly. The Xth person to get to the event becomes king. (simulates the choosing a leader by lots, that was done in some places).  Or just dump all the site waivers in a barrel, stir well and the one that gets picked out is king/ruling queen.

LOTS WIFE - Do as above, only the person picked is Consort and gets to pick the Sovereign.

GET THE POINT: The reigning Queen throws a dart at the list board.  Whoever's shield the dart lands on becomes the next King or Queen.

KING'S TABLE - Two day Tablero de Gucci tourney. Winner becomes Sovereign.

PORCELAIN CORONATION - Two day Tablero de Gucci tourney. First person to contract alcohol poisoning becomes Sovereign.

PEPE LE PEAU - Stinkiest person at the end of the event becomes Sovereign. Anyone wearing white stripes becomes Consort.

ACTUALLY, it is a SECRET DAGUCCI PLOT!  You see, only the DaGuccis have the practice to win this one!

CHICKEN CROSSING WOAW'ED - The Puntiff is blindfolded, placed in a circle of WOAWs, spun, and flings his rubber chicken out of the circle. Whoever is hit by it becomes Sovereign.

CHEQUERED PAST: The person showing up at the Crown Tournament wearing the most plaid gets to be chosen Sovereign.

OF CABBAGES AND KINGS:  He/she who could cook the most scrumptious meal, or he/she who could eat the most at a feast... a la South Pacific tradition.

Homecoming

Word count: ~2k  Inspired by the last few lines in @ladyoftheshield‘s lovely fic Cacophony. I thought it was rather original, before I saw these posts by @the-redwaller, but whatever, I like what I did. Unbeta-ed, so any concrit is welcome. 

Snow lay in deep drifts upon the ground all through Mossflower woods. Through the bare branches of the trees, the slate-gray sky could be seen, heralding more flurries before the day’s end. Deep beneath the trees, far from any path, a young mouse was wending his way south through the snow drifts. Oftentimes the snow drifted higher than his ears, and he clutched his ragged, too-long cloak around his shoulders, the hem dragging in the snow behind him. His paws had long gone numb and ice rimed his whiskers, but he kept doggedly on, putting one paw in front of the other.

Head down, eyes slitted almost shut with exhaustion, the tiny mouse--only a child, really, five seasons at most--didn’t stop until he walked headlong into a low hanging larch branch. He went sprawling, sticks and ice-covered stones digging into his ribs as he lay on the forest floor. A weak cough shook his thin body, and he shuddered, drawing his knees under him as he tried to stand again. They gave out almost immediately, and he toppled forward again. For a moment, he simply lay there, watching the way each ragged breath formed a tiny cloud in front of his nose, fainter and fainter.

The wind whistled through the tops of the trees as he closed his eyes, haunting and faint but getting louder. Just for a moment, he told himself. Mama said the cold would kill--but, strange… He felt so warm, right now…

And then, faintly, in the distance but coming nearer, the little mouse could have sworn he heard… singing.

When the winter winds blow through the vale And you’ve roamed far from home There’s nothing quite like ‘Tober Ale And a place to rest your bones. Oh ice! Oh snow! Oh freezing rain! You will not bother me! For I have friends and food and love And they’re waiting there for me!

Yes, somebeast was singing. Bold as brass and coming nearer. The young mouse opened his eyes and blinked once, twice.

Someday soon the springs will come The white shall change to green The rivers shall swell and the flowers shall bloom And all the larks shall sing. Oh sun! Oh breeze! Oh gentle rains! I ever welcome thee! Come chase the dark and cold away And celebrate life with me!

The song cut off, and the young mouse heard steps on the path beside him, before boots stopped in his field of vision. They were a warm brown, bark and a bit worn, and the mouse tilted his head, looking up at the other traveler. It was a mouse, a plump little fellow with light fur, and a smile wide enough that his bright eyes almost disappeared in the folds of his cheeks. He was dressed in a green jerkin and green cloak, dark over light, with a hat perched rakishly over one large ear. “Well, hello there, matey,” he said cheerfully, crouching down closer to him. “You won’t get very far if you lie down like that, y’know.”

The young mouse took a deep breath and braced himself. The short rest had helped, if only a little, and he forced himself upright. He swayed, but steadied. “I liked your song,” he said.

“Of course you did, li’l matey, I made it up, didn’ I? Now, c’mon, let’s get you back home to your mum n’ dad. Bet they’ll be thrilled to see you again, eh?” The older mouse flashed another grin and performed a little hop-skip as he straightened.

“Haven’t got a dad,” the younger corrected him, a faint smile playing across his face in spite of himself as he watched him caper. “Haven’t got a mum anymore, either. Sickness.” He shuddered again, as much from the memory of his mother wasting away as the wind. He pulled the cloak tighter reflexively. “She told me to go to Redwall, but I got lost.”

Some of the madcap joy drained out of the mouse’s smile, turning it warmer, sympathetic. “Aye, well. If your mother told you to go to Redwall, she was a wise one for sure.” he said. “You’re in luck, li’l matey. I can definitely get you to the old Abbey. I’m a prince of pathfinders, just ask anyone!”

“There isn’t anyone around,” he said, but trailed in the other mouse’s wake without protest.

Laughter rang through the trees, and he couldn’t help but smile in response at how very free it sounded, how very hopeful. It was easier, now, to put paw in front of paw. The mouse turned to look down at him. “Excellent point, me lil’ matey. What’s your name, anyway?” The mouse turned and trotted backwards, hands clasped behind him.

“Matthias,” he said. The brief second wind was wearing off now, and he stumbled, and barely stopped himself from sprawling in another heap.

“Are you?” The other mouse slowed, but didn’t stop, still walking backwards. For the first time, he wasn’t  smiling--not as if he were angry, or sad, but simply thinking. The serious expression didn’t fit him, but it didn’t last long. “Is it that time already?”

“Am I what? What time?”  

“Are you Matthias, that is.” He grinned again, as if he had just said something clever. “No matter. C’mon, Matthias-matey. You’ve not got far to go until you see the bell tower. You ought to be just in time for dinner.” The mouse groaned in delight and placed both paws over his fat little stomach. “An’ oh, the dinners at Redwall are to die for. No better food in all the land! I ought to know. Hot cider with cinnamon an’ nutmeg, an’ a hot scone, right out of the oven with strawberry jam, or a blackberry tart with cream--nothing better onna winter’s night in front of the fire listenin’ to a story.”

Matthias trudged along beside the garrulous mouse as he extolled the virtues of the Abbey’s kitchens and cellars, mouth watering. He wiped his whiskers with the back of his paw and swallowed, teeth beginning to chatter again. His gaze wandered back to his feet, unable to keep his head up. It was easier to travel with a friend, true, but he’d still been walking since dawn. Matthias had woken early that morning to find himself curled against his mother’s stiff body, the embers of their tiny fire long cooled to grey and white ashes. He sniffed and wiped sharply at his nose. His throat was starting to burn again, and he coughed, trying unsuccessfully to hold back tears.

The mouse circled in front of him and paused, and Matthias narrowly avoided walking into him. “Chin up, Matthias,” he said, and knelt in the snow to bring them to eye level. “It’s hard, I know. I lost my mum and dad, too, but you’re not gonna be alone for long. We won’t letcha. It’ll be hard--by the fur, it’ll be hard. But you mourn, an’ you remember ‘em if you can, an’ you don’t let it stop you.” He smiled, paw resting on one knee. “You’ll see ‘em again someday, an’ when you do, you’ll have lived a life that’ll make ‘em pleased as punch.”

Matthias sniffed again, and combed claws quickly through his whiskers, trying to hide the fact that he’d been crying. “D’you--d’you really think so?”

“Think? Matthias-matey, I know so!” He straightened indignantly, paws akimbo. “Now c’mon, frozen britches. I’d like to get warmer before I get colder! We’re almost there.”

The young mouse stifled a wet giggle and followed, feeling just a little bit lighter.

His odd little guide turned out to be right. One more turn brought a red tower into view against the slate-gray sky, and Matthias almost burst into tears again at the sight. As friendly as his companion was, the promise of food, drink, and a warm corner to curl up in made the tiny mouse almost collapse in relief.

Matthias stumbled the last few steps across the frozen grass between the line of the trees and the northern wall, scraping his paws on the old red sandstone as he caught himself. He hauled himself along, using the wall for support, until he reached a small wooden gate and wedged himself against the jamb, sinking to sit on his haunches and pulling his cloak tightly over his ears. Rest. He’d just--just rest for a moment, before trying to get someone’s attention on the inside.

“Ahoy, matey!” Matthias startled at the shout. In the rush of relief, he’d forgotten about his guide, but the mouse was standing a foot or two away, neck craned back and both paws cupped around his mouth as he shouted. “I’ve got a delivery for you!”

Matthias leaned his head against the jamb and closed his eyes with a smile. Seemed like his new friend was doing the attention-getting for him, then.

There was a pleased, distant shout of greeting from far above him, and before Matthias quite knew how, there was another mouse on the sward. He cast a quick, friendly smile at the other, before he crouched down beside Matthias, concern painted across his face. “He’s half frozen, the poor mite,” he said, and Matthias relaxed into the jamb, feeling--inexplicably--as if everything would be all right, now. Though the new mouse was clad in a simple green habit, he didn’t seem to notice the cold, sitting in the snow without a second thought. “Running a fever, too. Oh, Matthias…”

Curiously, Matthias raised his head to look the other mouse in the face, regardless of the difficulty. Equal parts worry and love shone in grey eyes against dark fur, and a strong paw reached out to rest on a thin shoulder. “Come now, my little warrior,” he said. “We’ll knock on the door together.”

Matthias took a deep breath and let it mist slowly out again, before bracing himself against the jamb and pushing himself to his feet. The mouse kept his paw on his shoulder, moving to stand behind him, as they both raised their other paw to knock on the door.

“Please!” Matthias shouted, voice torn to rags on the gusting wind. “Please, is anybeast there?”

Another knock, stronger this time as the mouse’s paw tightened on his shoulder. “I need help, please!” Matthias toppled forward, braced himself on the wooden door, fighting to not simply drop where he lay.

“Courage, Matthias,” the whisper came from behind him. The young mouse forced himself upright once more, and slammed a paw into the old wood so hard it ached even through the numbness.

“Please!” He shouted, voice cracking. “Please!”

From behind the door came the sound of running, and then the most welcome sound in the world--a scrape as the door was unlocked, and Matthias staggered as it swung open. Strength and balance failing him, he tripped over the threshold and sprawled at the feet of an Abbey brother.

“Oh, my--” the brother gasped, before bending to scoop the youngster up in both paws, dashing for the Abbey as he shouted, “Father Abbott! Father Abbott!”

The last thing Matthias saw before exhaustion finally pulled him under was the two mice who had helped him, still standing beside the open northern gate.

Martin watched as Brother Alf rushed Matthias into the infirmary, arms crossed and eyes distant. So many threads being set in motion, tangled and untangled and woven together. His musings were cut short as Gonff dug an elbow into his unprotected side.

“So that’s Matthias, hm? Y’could’ve mentioned he was on his way, you know, I’d’ve kept an eye out for ‘im.”

With a huff of laughter, Martin turned and gave his friend a playful shove that nevertheless sent him staggering a few steps. “Contrary to what most creatures think, o pincher of pies, I don’t know everything.”

“Oh, no,” Gonff said, slinging an arm around his shoulders with his usual good cheer. “Just most things. Like Dandin needing to carry that sword. Or that it’d get struck by lightning and nearly skewer a squirrel. Or--”

“All right, all right,” Martin laughed, shaking his head. “But I didn’t know when, Gonff.” He fell silent again.

There was a beat of silence. “He’ll be all right,” Gonff said suddenly, uncharacteristically serious. Martin glanced at him and tilted his head curiously. “He’s almost as stubborn as you are, y’know. Got the same eyes.”

A smile twitched at Martin’s mouth, and he nodded, looking back at the Abbey as if he could see through the walls to the infirmary, where Abbot Mortimer was bending over the newest addition to their abbey, rubbing limbs and paws briskly to warm them. “Aye, he does. Noticed that, did you?”

“Hard not to. Suspected he might be Matthias afore he mentioned his name, y’know.”

“Did you really? Or did you finally pick apart am that is when he gave you his name?” Martin asked, deliberately not looking at the mousethief, though the worry in his stormy grey eyes had faded, only to be replaced with mischief.

Gonff huffed. “Matey, I’ve never been so insulted in all my years! How dare you suggest that I, the prince of puzzle solving, didn’t know exactly who you were talking about?!”  

Martin snorted and, with a quick movement, caught his friend in a headlock, rubbing furiously at his headfur. “You did, did you? So your endless pestering for the scores of seasons since you found the rhyme was a clever blind, eh?” Laughing too hard to extricate himself, Gonff pushed at Martin’s arm. After a moment of fruitless struggling, Martin released him, laughing as well.

“C’mon, o warrior,” Gonff said once they’d laughed themselves breathless. “You promised Sunflash and the babes to help build that rope swing Saxtus doodled.”

Martin stretched up onto his footpaws. “I’ve not forgotten, I promise.”

“Right behind you, matey.”

The pair of mice vanished back to the Dark Forest, secure that both their realms--Redwall and Mossflower Woods--would call if they needed it.

Home Security Tips

According to the FBI’s there were over 1 million home burglaries reported in 2015. That’s a rate of one burglary for every 134 homes making home security more important than ever. At the most basic level, making your home more secure is preventing a would-be burglar from entering your home. This can be accomplished by following a few basic rules and by employing security solutions that are effective and realistic.

We’ve compiled a few tips to help guide you on your path to a more safe and secure home.

Keep Burglars at a Distance

Securing Exterior Doors

Exterior doors are the most used point of entry for burglars. There are several points of potential weakness on a typical door such as: the handle and lockset, hinges and their mounting screws, strength of the door itself, and the door jamb or frame. Sliding patio doors and French doors present a whole new set of weaknesses. Here are some suggestions on how to make your doors a safer barrier:

Don’t rely on the spring-latch lock on your door handle. These locks are easy to compromise. Incorporate a sturdy deadbolt lock.

Install door armor kits on exterior doors to help prevent burglars from taking advantage of the weakest parts of your door. These kits usually include 3” screws to replace short screws that come with door hardware, hefty strike plates for handles and deadbolts, and metal framing to place around the hinge and handle/lock hardware.

Add auxiliary locks to sliding doors. Options include loop locks, security bars, or a vertical bolt locks. Security bars are sometimes known as sliding door polls or charlie bars.

Add a security bar to French doors to decrease the likelihood of a kick-in. These bar systems might not be the most attractive, but they make up for their looks with effectiveness.

A sometimes overlooked detail about French doors, and doors in general, is hinge placement. Ensure that all of your hinge pins are interior-facing to avoid giving burglars easy access without force.

Add security film to glass doors. This window film prevents glass from being easily broken. Security film is an inexpensive way to help stop an intruder from quickly kicking through a patio door without sacrificing the benefits of having a glass door.

  Securing Windows

Windows can be easily secured. There are numerous window security solutions for new and old windows that increase effectiveness at keeping out intruders. If you’re in the market to replace your windows, here are some key suggestions:

Look for reinforced glass or acrylic windows. Reinforced (tempered or laminated) glass and acrylic (polycarbonate) are much harder to break than traditional glass windows. This can help deter criminals from continuing an intrusion after they attempt to break your windows.

Multiple panes of glass are better than one large pane. Multiple glass panes provide added strength and durability to repel break-in attempts.

If you’re looking to increase the security of your current windows, these devices can help:

Add after-market window locks to your built in window locks. These simple gadgets are cheap and very successful at helping to stop a window from being forced open. Depending on your window style, you may need double hung window locks, sliding window locks, or locks for casement windows (sometimes called crank windows.)

Exterior window bars can be added for additional protection. Many window bars come in decorative designs and can accent the style of your house just as well as they can help protect your windows.

Security film can be added to windows to decrease the likelihood of break-ins. Thicker film provides the highest level of protection.

Garage Doors

Garage door security is often overlooked by homeowners. While breaking into a garage via the garage door seems unlikely, the truth is it can be done quickly. The worst part about attached garage break-ins is that criminals can shut the garage door behind them and take their time breaking into your home without worrying about being seen. Here are some strategies to help prevent garage break-ins:

Don’t leave garage door openers in your vehicles. It might seem inconvenient to bring them in each night, but the inconvenience is well worth it by saving you the time and trouble of replacing your belongings.

Help secure your garage door emergency release to prevent easy intruder access. This can be done by either fastening it with a zip tie (which can be broken by yanking the release cord) or by placing a barrier between the top of the door and the release. Check out a guide for securing your emergency release cord at Family Handyman.

Use a garage door sensor to remotely alert you when your garage door has opened. Some newer garage door openers have this feature built-in as well as an auto-closing feature that will close your garage door when it has been open for too long.

Have a dead bolt on the door between your garage and home to prevent further intrusion. It is also a good idea to install a peephole viewer on the door to make it easier to inspect the garage without opening the door.

Have bright, motion sensing lights in the garage to bring attention to an open garage door.

  Make Your Home Look Occupied

Whether you are home or away, it is best to make it look as though someone is home. Having an intruder invade your home is terrifying and traumatic. Here are a few tips that will help make your home look active whether you are there or not:

Make you home look occupied by having lamps on a timer. Strategically placing lights throughout the house on timers gives the appearance that people are using different rooms.

Leave a television or radio on at moderate volume. Noise is a great way to make criminals think you’re home. Televisions do a good job of creating light and mimicking activity.

Don’t close all your curtains and blinds. If you are using timed lights or a television to cast light, it’s good to leave a few open. Open curtains also allow the police (or a helpful neighbor) to see inside your home should the need arise.

  Keep Burglars at a Distance

Some of the best burglary prevention techniques are things that you might not even consider to be prevention techniques. These tips are designed to help keep crooks from coming close enough to your home to even attempt to break in.

Get a dog. Your dog’s bite might not deter a burglar, but its bark might. A barking dog can bring attention to your house and the last thing a burglar wants is attention while they are sneaking into your home.

Home security system signs are a great way to help stop burglars in their tracks. A home security system means that the perpetrator has only a matter of seconds to burgle your home before the alarm sounds and the police are called. Advertise your alarm system near all entry points to your house.

A well-lit exterior is a great way to deter burglars. Dusk-to-dawn porchlights or carriage lights take away the veil of darkness from the front of your home. Landscape lighting placed near windows can increase visibility around the rest of your home.

Parking a car in the driveway is a great way to tell would-be burglars someone is home.

Keep bushes and shrubs around windows trimmed to avoid creating hiding spots. Additionally, having thorny or spiked plants such as blackberry bushes, holly, or juniper in front of windows can deter criminals from venturing too close.

Look for reinforced glass or acrylic windows. Reinforced (tempered or laminated) glass and acrylic (polycarbonate) are much harder to break than traditional glass windows. This can help deter criminals from continuing an intrusion after they attempt to break your windows.

Multiple panes of glass are better than one large pane. Multiple glass panes provide added strength and durability to repel break-in attempts.

If you’re looking to increase the security of your current windows, these devices can help:

Add after-market window locks to your built in window locks. These simple gadgets are cheap and very successful at helping to stop a window from being forced open. Depending on your window style, you may need double hung window locks, sliding window locks, or locks for casement windows (sometimes called crank windows.)

Exterior window bars can be added for additional protection. Many window bars come in decorative designs and can accent the style of your house just as well as they can help protect your windows.

Security film can be added to windows to decrease the likelihood of break-ins. Thicker film provides the highest level of protection.

Garage Doors

Garage door security is often overlooked by homeowners. While breaking into a garage via the garage door seems unlikely, the truth is it can be done quickly. The worst part about attached garage break-ins is that criminals can shut the garage door behind them and take their time breaking into your home without worrying about being seen. Here are some strategies to help prevent garage break-ins:

Don’t leave garage door openers in your vehicles. It might seem inconvenient to bring them in each night, but the inconvenience is well worth it by saving you the time and trouble of replacing your belongings.

Help secure your garage door emergency release to prevent easy intruder access. This can be done by either fastening it with a zip tie (which can be broken by yanking the release cord) or by placing a barrier between the top of the door and the release. Check out a guide for securing your emergency release cord at Family Handyman.

Use a garage door sensor to remotely alert you when your garage door has opened. Some newer garage door openers have this feature built-in as well as an auto-closing feature that will close your garage door when it has been open for too long.

Have a dead bolt on the door between your garage and home to prevent further intrusion. It is also a good idea to install a peephole viewer on the door to make it easier to inspect the garage without opening the door.

Have bright, motion sensing lights in the garage to bring attention to an open garage door.

  Make Your Home Look Occupied

Whether you are home or away, it is best to make it look as though someone is home. Having an intruder invade your home is terrifying and traumatic. Here are a few tips that will help make your home look active whether you are there or not:

Make you home look occupied by having lamps on a timer. Strategically placing lights throughout the house on timers gives the appearance that people are using different rooms.

Leave a television or radio on at moderate volume. Noise is a great way to make criminals think you’re home. Televisions do a good job of creating light and mimicking activity.

Don’t close all your curtains and blinds. If you are using timed lights or a television to cast light, it’s good to leave a few open. Open curtains also allow the police (or a helpful neighbor) to see inside your home should the need arise.

  Keep Burglars at a Distance

Some of the best burglary prevention techniques are things that you might not even consider to be prevention techniques. These tips are designed to help keep crooks from coming close enough to your home to even attempt to break in.

Get a dog. Your dog’s bite might not deter a burglar, but its bark might. A barking dog can bring attention to your house and the last thing a burglar wants is attention while they are sneaking into your home.

Home security system signs are a great way to help stop burglars in their tracks. A home security system means that the perpetrator has only a matter of seconds to burgle your home before the alarm sounds and the police are called. Advertise your alarm system near all entry points to your house.

A well-lit exterior is a great way to deter burglars. Dusk-to-dawn porchlights or carriage lights take away the veil of darkness from the front of your home. Landscape lighting placed near windows can increase visibility around the rest of your home.

Parking a car in the driveway is a great way to tell would-be burglars someone is home.

Keep bushes and shrubs around windows trimmed to avoid creating hiding spots. Additionally, having thorny or spiked plants such as blackberry bushes, holly, or juniper in front of windows can deter criminals from venturing too close.

Les deux hommes étaient cagoulés, l'un avait un masque de ski et il avait une casquette et une veste avec "Police" écrit dessus. Le deuxième individu avait les mêmes vêtements "Police" mais ne portait pas de lunettes. L'individu avec les lunettes de ski m'a arraché mon BlackBerry. " Conformément aux premiers récits de ce vol, Kim Kardashian a confirmé à la policière qui prenait se déposition qu’elle avait été ligotée puis séquestrée : " Ils m'ont attrapée et emmenée dans le hall d'entrée. J'étais en peignoir, nue en dessous. Nous sommes allés ensuite de nouveau dans la chambre et ils m'ont poussée sur le lit. Et, à ce moment-là, ils m'ont attachée avec des câbles en plastique et du Scotch sur les mains, puis ils m'ont scotché la bouche et les jambes.

Entre stress et jalousie, les vacances à deux peuvent vite se transformer en parcours du combattant. Glamour.com vous révèle les 11 commandements pour que votre escapade en amoureux ne se transforme pas en guerre des tranchées.

1 - Qu'il se lève, tu n'attendras pas

Parce qu’après avoir tourné dans le lit non-stop pendant deux heures en espérant qu’il ouvre un œil, on aura forcément l’impression d’avoir gâché notre matinée et que c’est de sa faute. On se lève, on va faire un tour au marché ou on file acheter les croissants pour le petit-déjeuner.

2 - Ta tête de vacances, tu assumeras

Pas maquillée, gonflée par la chaleur, les cheveux remontés bien haut pour éviter toute marque de bronzage, on ne se sent pas forcément au top de notre capital séduction. Alors on arrête de dire à notre copain "Pourquoi tu me regardes comme ca ?" et on assume sa nouvelle tête jusqu’au soir. Ca ira beaucoup mieux après une bonne douche.

Camille, 26 ans : "En vacances, pas maquillée, avec une robe en coton et des tongs, j'ai toujours l'impression que les autres nanas sont plus lookées que moi mais je patiente. Chaque soir, je me lâche sur les tenues et le maquillage pour mettre en valeur mon bronzage. C'est magique comme l'estime de soi remonte après  une séance de chouchoutage."

3 - Point, tu ne te relâcheras

Ce n’est pas parce qu’on est en vacances qu’on doit oublier toutes les règles de savoir-vivre. S’il y a des choses qu’on ne fait pas en temps normal, on ne les fait pas non plus en vacances. On évite par exemple de s’épiler le maillot les jambes écartées devant son mec ou de faire pipi dans la douche. Même en vacances, ça ne passe pas. Et c'est pareil pour lui.

4 - Tes règles, tu éviteras

Sinon on aura mal au ventre, à la tête, on va pleurer à la moindrecontrariété, on sera chiante parce qu’on ne voudra pas aller dansl’eau. Alors on enchaîne deux plaquettes de pilule ou on calcule notrecycle au moment de poser nos vacances avec nos collègues en espérant très fort que les autres ne sont pas en train de faire la mêmechose.

6- Des activités, tu prévoieras

Parce que les journées étalées sur une serviette de plage, c’est supportable pendant deux jours. Après on s’ennuie. Alors on ose toutes les activités : la balade à dos d'âne ou la visite touristique en bus à étages. Certes on a l'air de gros beaufs mais on aura pleins de choses à raconter en rentrant.

7 - Une ordonnance à ton médécin, tu demanderas

On répète : il faut tout prévoir pour éviter une transformation en fille gonflante. Avant de partir, on prend rendez-vous chez le médecin pour qu’il nous prescrive tout ce qu’il faut en cas d’hémorroïdes, de tourista, de cystites ou de mycoses. Glamour bonjour !

Rose, 22 ans : "Mes pires vacances, je les ai passé en Inde. Deux jours après mon arrivée, me voilà malade et coincée à l'hôtel pour le reste du séjour après avoir mangé une spécialité locale que mon intestin n'a pas supporté. Ces vacances étaient désagréables pour moi mais pour mon copain aussi, qui a insisté pour ne pas me laisser seule. En rentrant, on n'a pas voulu avouer notre mésaventure à nos familles alors on a raconté à tout le monde que nos photos avaient été effacé par erreur et que le séjour était génial."

8 - Ta meilleure pote, ton mec n'est pas

On ne critique pas la cellulite de notre voisine de serviettes, on ne se moque pas quand il nous dit qu’il ne sait pas qui est Selena Gomez et on ne lui demande pas de nous mettre du vernis sur notre main droite. Contrairement à votre meilleure amie, il s’en fout.

  8 - Ton téléphone, tu éteindras

Un mail de votre boss, un texto de votre meilleure amie ou un coup de fil de votre mère pour savoir si tout se passe bien, il y aura toujoursune bonne raison pour que vous restiez collées à votre téléphone au lieu de profiter de la jolie vue sur la mer. Avant de partir, on prévientdonc tout le monde qu’on n’emmène pas son portable. On aura tout le temps de répondre aux messages une fois de retour au bureau.

Marion, 28 ans : "Je travaille à mon compte alors je ne prends pas beaucoup de congé dans l'année. Alors mes vacances, elles sont sacrées. Pas question qu'elle soit gâchée par des problèmes de boulot. Je laisse donc mon Blackberry à la maison. Les premiers jours, ca fait bizarre mais on s'habitue vite. Je vais quand même checker mes mails une fois par semaine pour être rassurée mais pas plus. Sinon ce n'est plus des vacances."

9 - Une valise complète, tu emmèneras

Quand on boucle son sac, on ne pense pas qu’aux talons qui serontparfaits avec une petite robe du soir, on pense aussi qu’ils serontbeaucoup moins pratiques pour marcher dans le sable. On prend unepaire de sandales plates pour la journée et notre mec n’aura pas ànous dire qu’on n'arrête pas de se plaindre.

10 - Des potes, tu inviteras

Les soirées à se regarder dans le blanc des yeux, ça va 5 minutes. Pour ne pas parler météo au dîner, on propose à des potes de venirnous faire un coucou pour mettre un peu d’ambiance dans nos soiréestout en évitant soigneusement les copains relous qui se tapent l’incrustetoute la semaine qui suit l’invitation.

11 - À ton mec, tu parleras

De ce qu’on veut faire ou ne pas faire. Parce que même si on a enviede lui faire plaisir, le cours de surf dans des vagues de 5 m, c’est pas vraiment notre truc et on a de grandes chances de finir noyer. On parle aussi du maillot de bain trempé qu’il laisse sur le sol de la sallede bains ou du tour de vaisselle, des détails qu’il ne faut pas négligercar en les laissant s’envenimer, la cohabitation peut rapidementdevenir difficile.
