‎”THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. it may save a life.) Reblog this! ————————————————————————————————————————————It seems that alot of attackers use some tactic to get away with violence. Not manypeople know how to take care of themselves when faced with such asituation. Everyone should read this especially each n every girl in this world.THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD INFO TO PASS ALONG…FYI - Through a rapist’s eyes! A group of rapists and date rapists inprison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victimand here are some interesting facts:1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle.They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braidor other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely togo after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not commontargets.2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for womenwho’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissorsaround to cut clothing.3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching throughtheir purse or doing other activities while walking because they areoff guard and can be easily overpowered.4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at isgrocery store parking lots.5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.6] Number three is public restrooms.7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a womanand quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have toworry about getting caught.8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouragedbecause it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that goingafter you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,orother similar objects that can be used from a distance, in theirhands.10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close tothe attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convincethese guys you’re not worth it.———————————————————————————————————————————-POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage orwith you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and askthem a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk:can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Nowthat you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up,you lose appeal as a target.2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front ofyou and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked tosaid they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she wouldnot be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASYtarget.3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate ofit and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPERSPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you cando it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist frombehind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow andarmpit or in the upper inner thigh - HARD. One woman in a class thisguy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who wastrying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skinand tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinchingyourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from aparticularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts itis extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy andmake him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told ourinstructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot oftrouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingersand bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushingdown on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without usingmuch pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles crackedaudibly.7] Of course the things we always hear still apply.

It seems that alot of attackers use some tactic to get away with violence. Not many

people know how to take care of themselves when faced with such a

situation. Everyone should read this especially each n every girl in this world.



THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD INFO TO PASS ALONG…

FYI - Through a rapist’s eyes! A group of rapists and date rapists in

prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim

and here are some interesting facts:



1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle.

They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid

or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to

go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common

targets.



2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women

who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors

around to cut clothing.



3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through

their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are

off guard and can be easily overpowered.



4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is

grocery store parking lots.



5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.



6] Number three is public restrooms.



7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman

and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to

worry about getting caught.



8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged

because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going

after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.



9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or

other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their

hands.



10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to

the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince

these guys you’re not worth it.

———————————————————————————————————————————-

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:


1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or

with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask

them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk:

can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now

that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up,

you lose appeal as a target.



2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of

you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to

said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would

not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY

target.



3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of

it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER

SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.



4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can

do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from

behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and

armpit or in the upper inner thigh - HARD. One woman in a class this

guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was

trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin

and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching

yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.



5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a

particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it

is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and

make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our

instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of

trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.



6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers

and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing

down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using

much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked

audibly.



7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of

your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any

odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel

little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really

was trouble.

——————————————————————————————————————————-

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….

I know you are smart enough to know these pointers but there will be

some, where you will go “hmm I must remember that” After reading,

forward it to someone you care about, never hurts to be careful in

this crazy world we live in.



1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your

body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.



2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks

for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from

you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or

purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN

THE OTHER DIRECTION!



3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back

tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like

crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has

saved lives.



4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating,

working, etc., and just sit

(doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The

predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for

him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell

you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.



5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or

parking garage:



a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be

hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the

passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE

RIDING A TAXI CAB) .



b. If you! u are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the

passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling

them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their

cars.



c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and

the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest

your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a

guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE

THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)



6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are

horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).



7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS

RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times;

And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!



8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may

get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a

good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies

of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often

asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when

he abducted his next victim.


Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the

world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than

sorry.

Home Made Christmas tree Ornaments

Home made Christmas Tree Ornaments

So I was looking online and found some cute ornament to try to make, and no way no how would anything I tried work.
So I decided I wasn't going to give up. I just shurt everythign down. I had an idea in my head of what I wanted it to look like so here we go.

By no means is this simple and super easy. It took me a few tries to get it right. I was trying different loops on the top, lengths, and stitching.
Here is my favorit way for this ornament to be done :)

You need
- your favorite kind of ribbon
- clear beads
- thread
 - needle
- sissors
 SAM_2514.jpg

Now I never messure exactly how much ribbon i need but trust me its not a ton!

I used regular red and green ribbon with clear plastic beads.

Loop your ribbon to make an "O" at the top. I find if you loop it and make an oval rather then a circle the ornament hangs on an angle and doesn't look right.

So anyways make a circle, and add a stitch. Do not knot the end first. If you do it like mine then you wont have any extra thread hangin out all over.

 SAM_2516.jpg

This is where you add your knot. Its the same place your first bead will sit. If you have long sting here, give it a trim :)

 SAM_2517.jpg

Add your bead, then curve your ribbon. I find if you make the first curve big, your tree will be reall thick.  After you find the right curve set it down and put your thumb where the needle should go through. This helped me so much its not even funny. I had a heck of a time trying to free style it.

 SAM_2518.jpg

Repeat your process.. Add bead curve ribbon, make sure you go bigger as you add your beads.

When you get to the end dont just tie a knot and be done with it, this can cause your ornament to snag easy or even come apart.
I took the needle and went right back up into the beads all the way to the top. This helps keep your ornament from moving too much too

 SAM_2520.jpg

When yo get the needle and thread back up to the top, do another stitch down but not into the bead. This is where we make our knot, and hide it so its not visible.

 SAM_2521.jpg


 SAM_2522.jpg


Messure the bottom length of your ribbon the same as the layer above the bead. Then cut the access off

 SAM_2523.jpg


All done! Enjoy your new decoration! I plan on making many more, with all differnt types of ribbon! Can you imagine the possiblities?!
