How Parents Can Win the Battle To Keep Your Child Safe From Strangers This Holiday Season
When we think of Holiday shopping, we think of all the glowing lights at our area malls and the various eye-catching decorations in shopping centers. Along with distractions with our ?to do' list in our heads, we get preoccupied with carrying bags and scoping out gifts. But with all the whirlwinds of diversions, we cannot put our guard down with who is scoping out our own children. To help with this here are the top 7 things parents can do to prevent their young from falling prey to strangers and child kidnappers in the busy hustle and bustle of the season. 1. Stay connected.
Make sure you have your children with you whether in a stroller or holding your hand. Even if your child stays next to you other times of the year, all the distractions of toys, decorations, and Santa can make any kid get sidetracked. For older children invest in a family walkie-talkie set. Make sure they know how to use it and check in with them on regular time intervals to know where they are ? even if they are right next to you. 2. If your child is lost go right to security.
Most malls and shopping centers have security protocol when a child is missing. Don't try to look for your child alone. Let them help you the second you realize you cannot find your child ? every moment counts. 3. Know what your child is wearing that day, and carry a recent picture with you in your wallet. Most moms and dads have lots of pictures of the kids, but baby pics are not helpful if your child is lost and security needs to search for them.4. Teach your child what to do if a stranger approaches them.
First ? Run away! Second ? Tell somebody!5. Role play with your child ahead of time. Use tactics that some kidnappers have used in the past and teach your children not to ?fall for a stranger's sneaky tricks!" i.e. stranger favorite lures: candy, video games, comic books, toys, telling them "your mommy told me to bring you home" etc.6. Do not have your child wear anything with their name on it ? i.e. back packs, purses, and jackets. Child offenders with pick up these clues and use the child's name when speaking with them to gain trust.7. Practice, Practice, Practice! Reviewing these strategies not only will help your child remember, but keep it on your mind as well.
We all want our children safe, happy and well for more holidays to come..

Women's Liberation
(ContentDesk) July 20, 2004 -- Women continue to make steady progress towards equality in the workplace. Now women are making progress towards equality on the home front. How? By tapping into their resources, including their husbands. Increasingly, men and women are both juggling the demands of a career and a family. The demands are not equal, however.
Traditionally, women have been the primary caregivers. Still so today. Relinquish that role? Never. We have the natural instincts. But share that role? Now, that makes some sense.The challenge? Let's face it: Most men are not very domestic.
Organize the power tools? Mow the lawn? Great. But change the baby, that's a different story altogether. Not that men don't want to be helpful. They do (really). They just don't always know (or understand) what to do, especially concerning babies, particularly infants.Here's my secret: Help him liberate you.
Impossible? Absolutely not. Give him the tools to be helpful, starting...

What are the experts forecasting for spring?Fabric ? Romance is in the air. The fabrics this season will be more feminine and light. We will see a lot of soft flowing fabrics such as chiffon and silk. A new trend this season is the big bold prints in wild designs.
No longer dubbed the tacky, the big animal and floral prints will dominate the scene.Handbags ? Handbags are once again going to be designed for use. Bigger is definitely better! Purses will be oversized and versatile, held in the hand or slung over the shoulder. A bag has to hold all of the day's necessities.Color ?

Cigarette Cases
There are many cigarette accessories that complete a smoker's kit. Chief among them are cigarette cases, lighters and holders.
Cigarette cases are most useful when cigarettes have to be stored in small amounts while traveling or on a long journey. However, cigarette cases have today achieved the dual usage of not only storing cigarettes in them, but also creating or adding to the personality of the person using the cigarette case.
A cigarette case has become as much of a external symbol as a leather jacket, cell phone or any other external accessory. There are a range of cigarette cases available in the market.
The cases are made to fit various personalities and both genders.
The cigarette cases can fit filtered as well as non-filtered cigarettes. The number of cigarettes that can be stored in a case differs. Normally, they can hold up to eighteen cigarettes.
The cases are made out of a number of materials. Some of the popular...
