One of the Texas Gang Rapists, Eric McGowen, Jumps Bail.

It happened in 2010, an 11 year old girl was brutally gang raped repeatedly in Texas, by 20 adult and teen males. These horrible rapes were repeated during a 3 month period, in 3 different places and in some cases, were also videotaped.

One of the gang rapists, Eric McGowen,
who jumped bail and raped an
11 year old girl in Texas, in 2010.

Eric McGowen, one of the rapists, decided to jump bail this past Wednesday, after hearing the young girl testify in court. The girl, who's name was not given, due to her age, was shedding tears while describing what was done to her. After listening to her and watching videos of the attack, he apparently knew, that he was doomed to spend time in prison and perhaps for a lifetime. His bail was set for $35,000, but since he jumped it, it has increased now to $250,000.

So presently, we have a rapist on the loose, Eric McGowen, who jumped bail on Wednesday and is running around free. Due to the fact that he actually admitted to being guilty, Texas officials should have locked him and the others, for life! Sexual offenders are repeat offenders and they should never be let out of prison. Now, Texas police are searching for him, but with Mexico near by, they might never find him.

If you live in Texas or near there, keep an eye out for Eric McGowen. One of the men who raped the little girl and is pictured above! For more details on this case, go to the Huffington Post.

17% Pepper means that these self defense weapons have a higher concentration of hot pepper than the average 10%, which is included in other sprays. They are hotter and therefore more painful on an attacker! The $5 sale applies only to soft cases, since the hard cases were sold out.

These self defense weapons can shoot up to 7 feet away and contain approximately 6 shots. They all include a convenient key ring, so it is always available when you open your home door or get into your car. Carry it in your hand in isolated areas or when you are walking in the dark, in stairwells, parking lots, alleys or any other area, where you might be confronted with danger. If you take public transportation, it's very worth while for you, to spend just $5 on a self defense weapon and make sure it is easily accessible, at all times. Many women, just attach the pepper spray ring onto their handbag.

Hurry, before these $5 pepper sprays on sale are gone! Colors left are; red, denim, brown and blue leatherette style holsters.

So all you have to do in an emergency, is press the yellow button, releasing the unit from it's holster, and press the top button to shoot the pepper!

Bicycle Errands on the Rise, Due to Fuel Prices

This trend is not a surprise. Many of us have decided to take our bicycles on short errands, instead of our cars. This is not only cheaper for us, but also healthier and in turn helps the environment as well!

I don't know about you, but for me, riding a bicycle, takes me back to my childhood. It is so invigorating to feel the wind in your face and be totally in control without depending on a 2,000 pound, gasoline guzzling car to take you where you want to go! Plus, it's actually a healthy workout! The sense of freedom you get... to even ride to the beach or lakeside area and not be ticketed or charged for parking! There is a catch though, most of the time, there are cars around and you need to make sure they are aware of your presence and take safety precautions!

This is where the Flashing Safety Light 8 Function LED item comes into play. A must if you ever take your bike out at night. Especially when there are gasoline guzzling cars around... This safety light has 5 super bright LED bulbs that have 7 flashing functions: constant light, fast flashing, slow flashing, middle to end flashing, end to middle flashing, strobe and double blink! It also includes a 120 degree rotatable bicycle attachment for attaching the light and a bright arm band too.

This bicycle safety light is also handy for walkers and joggers.

How Old is Your Pepper Spray?

Are you one of those women that bought her pepper spray for self defense, 4 or 5 years ago, and still has it in her purse? If your answer is yes, then that's not a good thing... because it might not work!

Reliable pepper spray usually has an expiration date printed on it. The date is normally on the bottom of the product's canister. Many pepper spray models have a plastic container covering the canister. In order to see the expiration date, you will most likely have to take the bottom lid off the plastic container. Sometimes this little round lid is snapped or screwed on. Many containers have a key ring, which makes it easier for us women to pull the lid off.

Why do self defense sprays need expiration dates, you might ask? Well, we know that pepper can burn for years, but small pressurized canisters can't sustain air pressure too long. If you use an old pepper spray, it will not reach as far or reach anything at all, because the propellent used to keep the pressure high inside of it, eventually over time, will slowly leak out. On a separate note, if your pepper spray has been sitting unmoved for a couple of weeks on a shelf, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it a shake. Doing so, might increase the pressure inside of it.

We recommend that women or men, change their pepper spray every two years. Plus, every 6 months or so, shoot a quick spray, to test it. Also make sure that you never leave it, for example, in a very hot car or in the sun, if you are at the beach. Heat will expand the canister and it can explode with the pressure! You don't want to be present if this happens... Stay safe and buy a new Mace or Streetwise pepper spray every couple of years. It's a small price to pay for your self defense!
