Protect Your Child Against Sexual Predators
"The best time to deal with molestation is BEFORE it happens." 
As many boys as girls will be sexually abused and nobody will know how many because the molester will not be a stranger. He will be someone the child knows, respects, is in a position of authority or is a relative. Retired LAPD detective, Bill Dworin, is a nationally recognized expert in the field of child sexual abuse & exploitation. Bill wants to get the message to parents that education & knowledge are the keys to prevention.

Exclusive On-Line Boutique Internet Business For Sale
An exclusive on-line boutique that offers the coolest and cutest fashions around for infant, toddler, children, tweens and moms is for sale. The owner is a busy stay at home mom of three who started this website as a hobby in December of 2004 and turned it into a booming business. She originally started this business for the fun of it.  She always wanted to be in retail and have a store of her own.   She wanted and needed an at home business so she could raise her newborn twins.   Since then, although still fun and with great perks (including being able to dress her own children in the latest, most stylish fashions), this originally small venture has become a full time, business which takes a great amount of her time.  Her older kids are starting Kindergarten in the fall and her youngest is starting nursery school and she can no longer devote the time it takes to run the business, given its proven success!  The business has so much to offer its new owner.  Most importantly, there is immediate profit as soon as you begin.  Secondly, her website has been properly indexed with all the major search engines, including, but not limited to Google, Yahoo, and MSN, by professional SEO's.  She has several thousand newsletter subscribers and a huge return customer base.  Her website has over 100 established relationships with wholesalers so if you like the lines they carry, you can continue relationships with them.  Additionally, there is adorable, current inventory!  They have grown so rapidly, they have opened the business internationally to several foreign countries.  They will offer site training for any buyer.   This is a unique opportunity for a motivated mom, or friends who want to run a business that has already been established.   For any prospective buyers needing any additional information, please contact Alison at idresskids at gmail.com

2008 marks the 60th anniversary of WHAM-O, Inc.
Known worldwide for category leading brands such as the Original Slip ON Slide, Frisbee, Hula Hoop, Hacky Sack, and SnowBoogie. To salute its storied and sometimes zany history, WHAM-O is searching for its next great toy idea from its most innovative and engaged audience ­ kids. The 60th Anniversary Kid Inventor Contest is open to kids ages 6 to 17 years old who live in the U.S. or Canada and submissions have already begun to roll in. I thought you might be interested in this contest and want to help spread the word to any and all of your friends and family that might know some creative, spirited youth that have the potential to invent the next big toy for WHAM-O. For complete contest information, rules, guidelines and submission information, kids and their parents can go to the main contest page on WHAM-O¹s website, found at http://www.wham-o.com/contest/ Additionally, contest details and examples of past WHAM-O inventions are currently featured in the interactive, online winter Nick Mag found at http://winter.nickmag.com/


Body Worlds
If you have not been to this exhibit in the past, GO...it is truly phenomenal to see. At 1st I was a bit skirmish about the whole idea, but once I really recognized the science in the presentations, it was very neat to see. Take an eye-opening journey through the inner workings of the human body. The California premiere of Gunther von Hagens' BODY WORLDS 3 & The Story of the Heart features over 200 authentic human specimens including whole body plastinates not seen before, organs, translucent body slices, and for the first time - a special presentation on the heart. To help you plan your day, please note that on average, guests spend about 1½ hours in the exhibit. Get your tickets now...Opens March 14th-June 25th. The exhibit has been a sell out in years past.
