What possible good can come from a nine to thirteen year old adolescent having a cell phone? With so many child predators out there these days giving your child a cell phone is giving these people another means of contacting and preying on innocent children. Or is it?


Could a cell phone in a child's hand help to prevent a would be attacker from taking advantage of a situation? Think about it. If your child had a cell phone they would be able to call you or the police with the push of just one button. If it became the norm for children at this vulnerable age to carry cell phones Jose Sosa AC Milan Jersey , then child predators would think twice before going after any of them. They wouldn't know who does or does not have a cell phone at the ready in case of an emergency.


But that wouldn't stop them from getting the child's cell phone number and calling to him or her. Just like children in chat rooms, they would become victims without ever getting suspicious until it's too late. Since anyone can use caller ID blocking there is no way of knowing who is calling your kid when you aren't with them. Or is there a way to control all of this?


What if there was a cell phone that your child could use to call mom, dad, or the police very quickly. What if you could control who your child could call with their cell phone and who was able to call them? If you could program a cell phone to only dial numbers that you approved first and only accepted incoming calls from numbers that you programmed into it Jose Mauri AC Milan Jersey , would you consider having your child carry this phone?


Think about it. Because of some fiasco at work you realized that you were going to be a little late picking up your son or daughter from practice, it would be a load off your child's mind to know that you are on your way. If they ended up getting detention at school and would be late getting out, wouldn't it be nice to know before you had to wait 30 minutes outside of the school worrying your head off about where he or she is?


There is a phone that is designed for exactly this purpose. It is the FireFly?. It has just six buttons. One for Mom, one for Dad Ignazio Abate AC Milan Jersey , one for emergency services (with accidental call prevention), two to scroll up and down pre-programmed numbers, and a call startend button. Since this phone does not have games or text messaging you don't have to worry about all those extra charges getting added to your phone bill. Simply program the numbers for mom and dad into the phone, and any numbers that you approve of into the callingreceiving list Hakan Calhanoglu AC Milan Jersey , and tell them to have it with them at all times.


The FireFly? is becoming available for most carriers. Compare rates from different carriers to see which ones are available in your area and find the best deal. Invest in some peace of mind for yourself and a learning experience for your child.

Having lived in Southern California for over twelve years, I was beginning to think that I would never see anyone famous, let alone live like anyone famous. How wrong I was!

Being the oldest child of baby boomers has its definite advantages. I know the songs and movies of days gone by. You know Gustavo Gomez AC Milan Jersey , those classic movies in "black and white" and those songs on vinyl records. I enjoy the crooning of Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, and Frank Sinatra. Give me a Doris Day and Rock Hudson movie any time. Having grown up with these memorable movies and music, I feel as if I was born in the wrong era.

Fortunately for people like me Giovanni Crociata AC Milan Jersey , there is the Ingleside Inn of Palm Springs, California.

Melvyn Haber's Ingleside Inn and Restaurant is a short distance from the famed Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs. Behind the wrought-iron gates winds a sweeping, tree lined driveway that you could imagine seeing Carole Lombard arriving at in a big black limousine. With the lovely views of Mt. San Jacinto in the background and the gracious service and privacy the Inn staff offers, it is easy to understand why the "in" crowd of Hollywood cherishes this quaint Gianluigi Donnarumma AC Milan Jersey , antique filled, yet aristocratic resort.

Recently, my mother and I arrived in the early afternoon. Pulling up to the lobby through the tree-lined drive was definitely a moment to savor. The vine-covered veranda of the lobby building gave the feeling that one might see George Hamilton sitting there relaxing, enjoying a Cosmopolitan. Once we parked and entered the exquisitely furnished lobby with its wood-burning fireplace Gianluca Lapadula AC Milan Jersey , Armida (with the Inn) graciously checked us in to our suite, the Floral Room on the Fountain Cour
