A warning from a Sergeant with the San Jose PD about your children and
Facebook
The brother of a Jens List member and also the father of two young boys, a
first grader and a 3 year old, yesterday on his older son's first day of
school, spoke to the parents about safety.  One of the issues he mentioned
is Facebook.  He cautioned parents to be vigilant about posting photos and
other information that could lead predators to your child.  Do not post
pictures of your child's school name or address, do not post pictures of
sports teams with park names (Rancho Park Soccer or Toluca Lake Baseball) on
the uniforms, make sure any posted pictures never show your home address.
Do not post photos of your child in the bathtub or undressed.  We have grown
to think of Facebook as our "own" and it is not.  Even with privacy
protections in place, pedophiles can find and locate our children if they
want to.  Do not give them a road map. So sad to think that we live in a
world where we have to think about things like this, but it is a reality and
something we have to remember.
 
 
Villa Firenze opened its North Hollywood factory/warehouse to the public
After 30 years of supplying every major better retailer in the country,
including folks like Anthropologie, EXPO design center, The Great Indoors, Z
Gallerie, Bed Bath & Beyond and far too many others to name, they are now
selling merchandise for the same prices the stores paid - this means 50-80%
off retail every day. Window panel prices begin at $5 for sheer voiles. 100%
silks - lined and interlined are $55. There are prices and styles everywhere
in- between. There are over 100 designs in ready mades and 300 more in
custom.  There are decorative pillows, duvet covers, table top items, 100%
cotton quilts and throws, and anything else you can imagine in textile
products.  And that's only the back half of the warehouse - the front is an
array of ever-changing home decor items and gifts - candles, diffusers,
bangles, purses, aprons, bbq sets, trays, and wooden bowls are just a few of
the tons of are just a small number of the deals currently in stock - always
at 50-80% off retail.
