Scott Becker Looking For April - Father and Daughter Reunited

2009-11-07T09:16:00.004-05:00

Photo Origin: CBSAtlanta.com

Thanks to Google Scott Becker has finally found his daughter April Becker Antoniou after years of searching for her.

Scott Becker has desperately tried to find his daughter over the past 30 years, and even hired private investigators to search for her. April's mother had taken her when she was only a few months old and her whereabouts were a complete mystery.

Ten years ago Scott Becker created a simple website "AprilBecker.com" in the hopes that his daughter would search the Internet for her name and find it. The website contains Scott Becker's contact information and a short message letting April know that he was searching for her.

After April Becker Antoniou searched Google for "Scott Becker Looking For April" she found the website that her father had created for her and the two were soon reunited.

20/20 Rihanna Interview - Full Rihanna Video

2009-11-07T08:08:00.005-05:00

Last night "20/20" featured a rare interview with singer "Rihanna." Diane Sawyer asked Rihanna about how she felt about Chris Brown and the very publicized incident of her being beaten.

It was a really interesting interview and Rihanna's answers were well thought out and she seemed to be very mature for her age.

Rihanna admitted to still having feelings for Chris Brown even though the two are no longer dating. Recently Chris Brown publicly revealed that he still loved Rihanna on Larry King Live.

I think that it's great that Rihanna is speaking out about her experience with domestic violence, it's obvious that her main reason for doing the interview was her concern over the influence she has on her young female fans.

Unfortuately Chris Brown has said that he wished Rihanna would have kept her story private, even though he's spoken out on "Larry King Live" and has released a public "You Tube" apology.

Here is the full hour long 20/20 Rihanna interview video from Friday November 6, 2009:

The New "Google Dashboard"

2009-11-05T08:18:00.002-05:00

Google has taken "Google accounts" to a whole new level with their release of the new "Google Dashboard." I logged in to my Google account to find out what all the dashboard buzz was about and saw a whole lot of my personal Google information listed on the page.

The "Google Dashboard" can allow those with Google accounts to have a detailed look at their recent Google activities. You can see the latest Google searches you've made, your latest Gmail emails, your reader subscriptions, a list of active blogs and recent blogging activity, and much more.

I can see how the new "Google Dashboard" could come in handy, but if anyone else gets access to your Google Accounts they'll be able to get an instant look at all of your recent online activities.

Here's a video clip regarding the "Google Dashboard" and how you can access the feature:

Quiverfull - What Does It Mean? - Joy Behar Video Clip

2009-11-04T11:37:00.003-05:00

I have never heard of "Quiverfull" before until this morning when I saw this "Joy Behart" video clip talking about the practice. Quiverfull is basically Christian families that don't believe in any type of birth control so they tend to have many children.

One famous "Quiverfull" family is the "Duggars" who have their very own reality show "18 Kids and Counting." In the past large families were commonplace but nowadays with most families having between 1 to 3 children, people are shocked by those with 6 or more kids.

Check out this video clip to hear what one "Quiverfull" mom has to say about having many children:

Kate Gosselin TLC Interview With Natalie Morales - November 2, 2009 Video Clip

2009-11-03T09:46:00.003-05:00

Last night I tuned into watch TLC's "Kate Gosselin" special "Kate, Her Story." The interview was ok, I didn't learn anything new, it was just about the same as all of Kate Gosselin's previous interviews.

I thought the interviewer "Natalie Morales" was terrible. She went too soft on 90% of the questions and then too hard on the rest. It was like watching a supermodel play "good cop, bad cop," and it was uncomfortable to watch.

I think Natalie Morales missed some golden opportunities to dig deeper into what Kate Gosselin was thinking. If you missed the November 2, 2009 TLC Kate Gosselin special you can check out a this video clip from the interview:

"Vitamins" and "Super Foods"

2009-11-02T18:21:00.004-05:00

During this swine flu season I've been brushing up on my knowledge of the value of healthy foods and important vitamins. Right now approximately half of the children in my children's public school are away sick with what is likely the H1N1 virus, a.k.a. "swine flu."

My family is currently taking multivitamins plus vitamin D, vitamin C, and Calcium/Magnesium. I have no idea whether or not the vitamins will help protect us against the virus but since the swine flu vaccine is only available to those in the high risk category in our area there isn't much to lose by popping some extra vitamins.

If you visit this link to the weight loss pills website you can find out some interesting information on "super foods," which are filled with antioxidants. One side of eating a diet based on healthy foods of course is weight loss, the other benefit is a boosted immune system. Both a great reason to start thinking about how many nutrients your really getting from your daily diet.

Jon Gosselin and Octomom Reality Show

2009-11-02T13:23:00.002-05:00

Jon Gosselin of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" and Nadya Suleman (mother of octuplets plus 6) considered creating a new reality show. But so far Jon Gosselin has decided against working with Octomom on a reality show. Why do I have the feeling that we'll see him in some other super trashy reality show soon. Here's more on Jon Gosselin and Nadya Suleman:

The Little Buddy Child Tracker By Insignia

2009-10-30T12:23:00.002-04:00

One of today's top "Google Trends" which means "the most searched for phrases on Google Search" is for the "Little Buddy Tracker," a child locator device made by Insignia.

I've never heard of the "Little Buddy Child Tracker" before. I think it's a great way for parents to see where their children are, the only thing is, it may give parents a false sense of security.

For example, parents may decide that their child is safe to walk to school alone, or walking home from a friends because they can see where they are.

A child tracker is no match for a child predator, or a car hitting your child crossing the road. You may know where your child is, but you still don't know who they are with or what they are doing.

In my opinion the "Little Buddy Child Tracker" is a valuable device but it shouldn't replace hands on parental supervision.

I've been thinking about attempting to lay updated tiles down in my kitchen and hallway. I figured it would be something I could do myself, that is until I saw several "how-to tile floors" video tutorials on You Tube.

If you are handy around the home, you could save big by completing a tile laying job yourself, just make sure that you do a lot of research for you begin.
