Please, protect our kids! How a Predator Can Find Children Online

Copyright 2006 Computer Guys Live Inc.

The statistics show an increasing exploitation of the internet as a means for predators to communicate with and eventually meet their victims. This article shows you an example of how a predator finds innocent children and befriends them. How they can take the smallest piece of information and use it to meet and lure a child. We?ll call our child Amanda and assume she is using ?MySpace?, a real favorite with the kids.

1-Amanda?s profile looks safe enough. All she has listed is her first name, school and her interests. She writes about her parents and teachers who don?t understand her.

2- Our predator draws a conclusion from her interests: Amanda may be on the softball team. He Googles the high school and finds a picture of the team. He now has her picture and her full name.

3- Our predator heads back to Google and enters Amanda?s full name and school. He finds a newspaper story about her father Alfred, who raised money for the softball team.

4- A new web search (don?t you love Google) provides our predator with a list of all the Alfred Simpsons in the city. Only one of the dozen or so listings is near Amanda?s school.

5- Now the predator is home free, in just a few minutes and with very little effort, our predator has Amanda?s full name, her address, and a picture to identify her. Now he knows where to find her.

The rest is even easier, all he has to do is strike up a conversation online about softball and he?s in.

In a short time he has contacted her thru IMs and email. They talk about parents and school, he is always friendly and reassuring and Amanda thinks she has finally found an adult who understands her.

What happens next I?ll leave to your imagination. I wanted you to see how, with just the smallest bit of information and the power of the Internet, a predator can locate prey and strike.

This drives home how important it is to keep an eye on what your kids are doing on the internet; who they are chatting with, what groups and chats they are joining. Make sure you read their profiles and read what the child is posting. Remember you are the parent and it is our responsibility to protect our children online.

I Can't Believe I'm Crocheting

I Can't Believe I'm Crocheting
Inspired by Leisure Arts' best-selling book, this teach-yourself crochet DVD makes learning so easy that you'll be crocheting with confidence in just a few hours. Hosted by popular designer Melissa Leapman, it's like having your own personal instructor available 24 hours a day! Her friendly approach guides you through the step-by-step lessons with expertise, and up-close demonstrations show every motion from the crocheter's point of view. The advanced Auto-Pause feature even periodically pauses the lesson until you click "Play" to continue at your own pace. You can put your learning into practice immediately on a simple spa cloth, or follow the Stitch-Along instructions where Melissa goes row by row making a belt, openwork scarf, or granny square mini purse. With its convenient A-to-Z Index, Reference Library, Trouble-shooting Guide, Tips, and other features, this DVD will have you saying, "I can't believe I'm crocheting!"

Customer Review: Excellent DVD for Beginners!

When I bought this dvd, I was hoping that it would help me with my crocheting skills (okay, I have very minimal crocheting skills). I couldn't really figure out the abbreviations in the easy crochet books. If you're like me, I'm more of a visual learner.

This DVD is great. It demonstrated how to go over the different basic stitches, such as, single crochet, slip stitch, half double crochet, and treble crochet.It also shows you how to yarn over and how to hold the hook properly with the right tension.

What's really important is that the camera zooms into the actual stitches, so you can see HOW it's supposed to be crocheted. I had looked at most of the You-Tube videos on-line, and they are not as detailed as this video, but I suppose that's to be expected. I also had another crocheting dvd, but it wasn't as good and thorough and detailed as this dvd.

Another good feature is how they step you through the projects that they have on the dvd. (Their projects on the dvd are a spa cloth, open work scarf, granny squares mini-purse, and a belt.) After showing you the stitches, it pauses to allow you to keep up with Melissa. Then you can start the dvd again for the next segment or phase of the project. Also, it shows you the instructions of the project after each segment. (This has helped me decipher crochet patterns.) I was able to do granny squares with one of the projects (granny square mini-purse), but of course, I had to redo it a couple of times because I needed to figure it out--challenged that way. However, it didn't take me long to complete it.

In any case, I highly recommend buying this dvd if you are a beginner. I think intermediate crocheters would probably find this too basic. I am going to order the Crochet Stitches in Motion dvd, and I have bought the kitting version of the series. I can't wait to watch them! :)

Customer Review: Bad shipping

This product arrived with a mailing label directly on the box. It was not in an amazon box. The picture of the toy was on it. My daughter saw it immediately. This was suppose to be a christmas present. I tried to call the shipper but the phone number on the label was incorrect. I reached someone in Canada. Needless to say I was quite disappointed in this package.

Chef Boyardee Beefaroni, 7.5-Ounce Microwavable Bowls (Pack of 12)

Chef Boyardee Beefaroni, 7.5-Ounce Microwavable Bowls (Pack of 12)
Customer Review: Great Delivery, Good Product

The process of ordering it was quick and simple. The product itself isn't so bad. A quick instant snack that requires no prior refrigeration (very impt living in a dorm with tiny fridge). Not the healthiest thing but it actually has as many calories as a small bag of chips but more filling.

Minus 1 star because I like the ravioli better.

Customer Review: Good choice

My 14 month old loves music and loves to dance, so naturally, given all the great reviews, I chose this DVD. Plus, I have seem the Laurie Berkner Band play on his favorite channels and find them slightly less annoying than some of the others. Overall, I am happy with it and love that it comes with a bonus CD, but I guess I thought it would be longer. It is a little less than 30 minutes long - which is standard but still could be a little longer!!

The Visual Bible for Kids: The Story Behind the Cross: Starring Judge Reinhold

Starring Judge Reinhold

Judge stars as a counselor who is leading a group of juvenile delinquent kids on a work project to clean up a local camping area. In a clearing on the hill sits an old wooden cross, and Reinhold is startled as a tough girl in the group begins to throw rocks at the wooden cross. To her and the other kids on the trip, the cross is nothing more than a symbol which happens to be "cool." What follows is a touching story of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection told to the kids by Judge Reinhold and portryed by Bruce Marchiano as it is written in the NIV translation of the Bible. As the story draws to a close, the kids have truly learned The Story Behind the Cross.
