(NC)?In 1999, Statistics Canada reported that there were approximately 92,485 break and enters reported to police, however, some of these crimes remained unreported. Property crime losses ranged from little or nothing of value to materials costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.Unfortunately, burglars can do much more than steal your possessions. They can commit rape, robbery, and assault if they are surprised by someone coming home or pick a home that is occupied."If you have been a victim of a burglary, chances are that you will be vulnerable to a burglary a second time," explained Patrice De Luca, V.P. of Marketing and Business Development for Protectron Security Systems. "The burglar will know how easy it was the first time they targeted your home.
This experience will forever change your life. However, for a small amount of time and money you can make your home more secure and reduce your chances of being a victim."According to De Luca, many burglars will spend no longer than 60 seconds trying to break into a home. That's why good locks and good neighbors who watch out for each other are big deterrents to burglars.De Luca also suggests these following tips:? Thieves don't like bright lights. Install outside lights and keep them on at night.? Keep your yard clean. Prune back shrubbery so it doesn't hide doors or windows.
Cut back tree limbs that a thief could use to climb to an upper-level window.? A high percentage of burglaries involve the theft of newly purchased items, such as, new electronic equipment, computers and TVs. "Thieves are always on the lookout for homes with big cardboard boxes at the curb highlighting new purchases," added De Luca. "It's important to eliminate or break up these boxes into unrecognizable pieces not to advertise new purchases to the neighborhood." Also, don't leave valuables in sight through windows, where they will tempt burglars.? If you travel, create the illusion that you're at home by getting some timers that will turn lights on and off in different areas of your house throughout the evening. Lights burning 24 hours a day signal an empty house.? Leave shades, blinds, and curtains in normal positions. Don't let your mail pile up, call the post office to stop delivery or have a neighbor pick it up.? Alarms can be a good investment, especially if you have many valuables in your home, or live in an isolated area or one with a history of break-ins.? Alarm systems are an effective deterrent.
Nine out of ten convicted burglars agree they'd avoid a house protected by an alarm system.? Security system decals and signs are also an effective deterrent.? Make sure your security system includes a loud inside alarm, detectors at all exterior doors, and motion sensors in the master bedroom and main living areas.

Keyboard Workshop Announces Release of New DVD Course Titled "How To Play More Piano Notes Without Reading More Notes"
Medford, OR (ContentDesk) March 16, 2006 -- Most people learn to play the piano by playing just the written music. Playing by written music is exactly what the phrase says it is -- playing the exact notation on a piece of sheet music. But playing by chord symbol is very different. Instead of following the harmony note by note, the musician follows the chord symbols (i.e. C7 or F or Bbm, etc.) written above the harmonies, filling in the gaps with their own improvisations based on those chords....
