Hi all!
I'm one of those people that likes to research EVERYTHING and a FTM. For people that have been through this before: what were your must have baby products that helped you survive the first year of parenting? Did you have a favorite diaper bag brand? Feeding pillow? Bottle? Cloth or regular diaper brands? Anything?
There are so many products out there that I won't even know where to begin when it comes time to register beyond the standard lists of this and that. Help a girl out.

Is This Proof Of Kraken?
by News of the Weird
posted Oct 11 2011 12:23PM
From the Geological Society of America: "Photo shows shonisaur vertebral disks arranged in curious linear patters with almost geometric regularity. The arranged vertebrae resemble the pattern of sucker discs on a cephalopod tentacle, with each vertebra strongly resembling a coleoid sucker."
So the question is...what arranged the bones of these huge shonisaurs (marine reptiles that grew up to 49 feet in length)? Two respected paleontologists have suggested it may have been the mythical KRAKEN!!

A new survey reports that most tween/teens say while they have a good relationship with their parents, they rely on peers more for advice and often hide key information from their parents. (So, it sounds like today's adolescents are very similar to previous generations!)
Pangea Media, a leader in online quizzes and quiz technology, has released the results of its latest "Pangea Pulse," which tracked the attitudes and preferences of more than 3,100 of its tween/teen users regarding how they communicate with their parents.
The recent survey on Quibblo found that teens are most likely to hide their online activities from their parents (44 percent) versus the time they spend with their boyfriend/girlfriend (21 percent) or how they are doing in school (15 percent). Most tweens/teens (56 percent) said their parents do not know that they have a boyfriend or girlfriend and 34 percent said they've snuck out of the house without their parents knowing.
The survey also found that tweens/teens are more likely to turn to friends if they have a problem with their boyfriend/girlfriend (81 percent) and for advice about bullying (51 percent). Most (71 percent) tweens/teens would not take advice from a parent about fitting in at school; likewise 54 percent wouldn't take their parents' advice on a relationship. In fact, 45 percent of tweens/teens say relationships are the hardest thing to talk to their parents about.
When asked which parent they are most likely to talk to, 68 percent of tweens/teens said they were more likely to share with their mother than their father (17 percent were more likely to share with their father). The majority (72 percent) of respondents said that they've talked with their parents about drugs and alcohol. However, only 53 percent have talked with their parents about sex.
Overall, 36 percent of teens stated that they believe their parents try harder than they do to build a relationship; only 13 percent said they believe that they try harder; meanwhile 33 percent believe that both they and their parents try equally hard to build a relationship; while 18 percent said they believe neither they nor their parents try. Ultimately, most (77 percent) believe they have a good relationship with their parents.

|Bears at Falcons Point Spread Odds, Trends, Injuries & Matchup
|Written by Anthony Rome
|Wednesday, 08 October 2008 14:03
Public Likes Bears
The Chicago Bears and Atlanta Falcons were expected to be rebuilding this season. With strong play from the quarterback and running back positions, both teams have emerged as big surprises in the NFL.
The NFC North-leading Bears look to win their third straight game, while the Falcons try to build off an impressive victory when they meet Sunday at the Georgia Dome.
Oddsmakers from SBG Global have made Bears -3 point spread favorites (View NFL Football odds) for Sunday's game (Game Matchup). Current public betting information shows that 80% of bets for this game have been placed on Bears -3 (View NFL Football bet percentages).
Before the start of the season, Chicago's offense did not look like it was going to be keeping the Bears (3-2) in many games. Four-year veteran Kyle Orton beat out Rex Grossman for the starting quarterback job and rookie Matt Forte was named the starting running back after Cedric Benson was released in June following his second alcohol-related arrest in a month.
Orton and Forte have managed to lead an offense that ranks ninth in the league in scoring with 25.6 points per game, and Chicago moved into sole possession of first place in the North with last Sunday's 34-7 win at hapless Detroit.
"If we stay there, we get to the playoffs," Bears safety Mike Brown said. "If we don't, it's going to be a battle.
"Our goal is to stay there."
Against the Lions, Orton set career highs in yards (334), completions (24) and quarterback rating (121.4), while throwing two touchdowns.
"Kyle is real poised," said Devin Hester, who caught one of Orton's TD passes. "He doesn't let things get to him. He's relaxed in the pocket. It seems like he wants to be the guy that takes control of the game."
Orton improved to 15-8 all-time as a starter, as he's back in the role full time for the first time in three years.
As a rookie in 2005, Orton led the Bears to a 10-4 record before being pulled for Grossman at halftime of Chicago's 16-3 win over Atlanta on Dec. 18, the last meeting between these teams.
While Orton was asked to simply manage the game in 2005, he has had to step up in Chicago's last two games as its opponents have keyed on the running game. He has thrown for 533 yards, five TDs and two interceptions in his last two.
Forte rushed for 304 yards on 73 attempts in his first three games, but has been limited to 79 yards on 34 carries in the last two. He still leads all rookies with 383 rushing yards and has emerged as Orton's favorite target, catching a team-high 22 passes for 172 yards.
Despite the Bears' success through the air, coach Lovie Smith insists Chicago is a running team.
Atlanta (3-2) is using a similar formula, as it ranks second in the league in rushing with 180.6 yards per game.
"We're always going to set out to try to run the football," first-year coach Mike Smith said. "I think in the first five games we've done that. When you're able to run the ball effectively, it allows you to do a number of different things, especially in the passing game."
Michael Turner rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries in last Sunday's 27-24 win at Green Bay, while rookie Matt Ryan completed 16 of 26 passes for 194 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
Ryan, the third overall pick in this year's draft, and Turner, who spent the last four years as a backup in San Diego, have helped Atlanta rebound from a disappointing 2007 marred by Michael Vick's legal troubles and coach Bobby Petrino's late-season resignation.
The Falcons, 12th in scoring (23.4) and ninth in total offense (353.2), are one win away from matching their victory total from a year ago.
"We've been positive and upbeat since the beginning of training camp," Ryan said. "Focused on trying to be the best team we can be."
While Ryan has looked poised in Atlanta's victories, he has been unable to get comfortable when the running game struggles.
Turner leads the league in rushing yards (543) and touchdowns (six), but has been limited to only 98 yards on 32 carries in the two losses. He is averaging 148.3 yards and has scored all his TDs in the wins.
Ryan has completed 45.9 percent of his passes for 316 yards and two interceptions in Atlanta's two losses, compared to completing 64.9 percent of his passes for 547 yards, four touchdowns and one pick in the wins.
Turner may have trouble against a Bears team that limited Detroit to 54 rushing yards last week and ranks fourth in the league in rushing defense (74.2). Ryan may also find himself under pressure, as Chicago's recorded seven sacks in its last two games.
The Bears have won three straight and eight of the last nine meetings with the Falcons.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Ladies and gentlemen, start your companies!
Entrepreneurs have weekend to create a business
A weekend-long competition at Red River College to see what group of pickup entrepreneurs could start the best business in 54 hours should go some way to dispel worries people might have about the strength of the entrepreneurial culture in Winnipeg.
Close to 100 people -- experienced entrepreneurs and wannabees -- in six teams took part in the intense event called Startup Weekend that was part of a Global Startup Battle tied to Global Entrepreneur Week.
There were more than 200 of these weekend events happening around the world.
At the beginning of the weekend, 29 ideas were pitched in Winnipeg. Then participants -- a mishmash of technical and marketing people, promoters and coders -- voted out the ones they didn't like and joined up with the ideas they thought were most promising.
The goal was to generate enough technical and marketing intelligence to actually have a prototype in some form by the end of the weekend.
Six businesses survived to present to a team of judges on Sunday evening. (This reporter was one of the judges.)
At the Winnipeg event, a wireless app called Buzzinga won the competition.
The winning group was made up of Chris Johnson and Brad Kendall -- who helped organize the event -- and Sean Sylvestre and Matt Connors.
Their app will allow apartment dwellers to provide customized access codes to their building to make it easier to buzz visitors into the premises if the actual apartment residents are either not in the apartment or busy and not able to get to the wired intercom device.
By the end of the weekend, Buzzinga had already sold some subscriptions to its product through the crowdfunding website indiegogo.com .
Each group was intent on winning and all of them produced relatively sophisticated powerpoints for the judging presentations. The two runners-up were Rent-Up, an online property management service, and Octofactory, an ambitious customized manufacturing concept.
The winning group will take part in a global competition with the chance to win some substantial prizes, including an all-expenses-paid trip to Google's headquarters.
One of the key features of the event is a focus on execution. For instance, among the grassroots entrepreneurial sector, there is a sense patents are not as important as actually producing a product and getting it to market.
According to Scott MacAulay, the entrepreneurship practicum course instructor at RRC, the people who attend are serious about becoming entrepreneurs.
There was a mixture of old and young people among the participants as well as students and experienced business owners including Michael Legary, owner of Securis Inc. -- who had the assistance of industrial designer David Bernhardt for his pitch -- and serial inventor Phil Poettcker, who said he has started more than 40 businesses in 26 years.
"The people participating really want to make some money," MacAulay said.
This was the second Startup Weekend held in Winnipeg since the summer. A loose-knit organization that Johnson, Kendall and Dustin Refvik have formed called RampUp Manitoba is behind the events.
"It's a perfect place to figure out if your idea sucks or not," said Kendall, an information technology professional and a serial entrepreneur.
The event attracted support from some serious mainstream players. The Canadian Youth Business Foundation hosted the event and professionals from Pitblado Law, Deliotte, BDC and RBC helped mentor the various groups through the competition.

Ta'if : A Lesson in Persistence
January 5, 2013 1 Comment
It had been a year of sorrow and misfortune for Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). First, his beloved wife Khadijah died. She was, from all people, the best supporter he had. Soon afterwards, his uncle Abu Talib died. As the head of the Prophet's clan, he was the only person who was able to give him protection from the rest of the tribe of Quraysh. Abu Talib loved his nephew Muhammad intensely, and it pained Prophet Muhammad all the more that his uncle died a disbeliever.
The death, in the same year, of the Prophet's wife Khadijah and his uncle Abu Talib magnified the Prophet's sorrows and doubled his feelings of estrangement and alienation and filled his heart with pain. Moreover, it left him and his followers politically isolated in Makkah, without support.
The tribe of Quraysh seize this opportunity to increase their abuses and tighten their grips on the Muslims. Abu Lahab succeeded Abu Talib as the leader of the Prophet's clan Banu Hashim, and he harbored the bitterest hatred for Islam and the Prophet (peace be upon him). He used to go up to the Prophet (peace be upon him) during the pilgrimage and in the marketplace and throw dirt and stones upon him, calling him a Sabian and a liar and warning people against following him.
Makkah became unbearable. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had to seek support from outside of Makkah. He first headed for the neighboring town of Ta'if, looking for this support. But what did he meet with there?
The people of Ta'if ordered their children to throw rocks and stones at prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to drive him out of the city. The rocks that were thrown at him by the children caused him to bleed seriously, so much that his feet became stuck to his shoes by the drying blood.
When Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was outside the city walls, he almost collapsed. They went a short distance outside of the town and stopped in a vineyard that belonged to two Makkans who were there at the time.
The owners of the vineyard had seen how he had been persecuted in Makkah and on this occasion they felt some sympathy toward their fellow citizen. They had his wounds dressed, and let him rest and recuperate until he felt strong enough to resume his journey across the rough terrain between Ta'if and Makkah. It was there that he had the famous encounter with the angel of the mountains.
We have the following account from A'ishah, the wife of the Prophet (peace be upon him), when she asked him: "Was there ever a day that was worse for you than the Battle of Uhud?"
The Prophet replied:
Your tribe (Quraysh) had troubled me a lot, and the most severe of this trouble was on the day of 'Aqaba when I presented myself to Ibn `Abd Yalayil b. `Abd Kulal and he did not respond to my request. So I departed, overwhelmed with sorrow, and proceeded on, without rest until I found myself at Qarn al-Tha`alib where I lifted my head towards the sky to see a cloud shading me unexpectedly. I looked up and saw within it Gabriel. He called me saying: "Allah has heard what your people have been saying to you, and how they have disputed you. Allah has sent the Angel of the Mountains to you so that you may order him to do whatever you wish to these people."
The Angel of the Mountains called and greeted me, and then said: "O Muhammad! Order what you wish. If you like, I will cause the two mountains to fall upon them."
I said: "No, for I hope that Allah will bring forth from their progeny people who will worship Allah Alone, and none besides Him." [Sahih al-Bukhari (4/81, 8/168). Sahih Muslim (3/1420)]
The people of Ta'if rejected the Prophet (peace be upon him) and what he came with most harshly. He departed from them in sadness and returned to Makkah only to find that its people had become even more enraged and infuriated with him. He was not even able to enter the city until he received the protection of al-Mut`im b. `Udayy. He had first sought the protection of al-Akhnas b. Shurayq and Suhayl b. `Amr, but they had refused.
Presenting the Message to the Tribes
But he persisted in calling to Allah. After returning from al-Ta'if, he began to approach the tribes during the festivals and explain to them Islam. He would ask them for protection and support so he could convey the word of Allah.
Salim b. Abi al-Ja`d relates the following from Jabir:
"Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) used to approach the people at the ground where they would settle, saying: 'Is there any man who will take me to his people? For verily Quraysh has forbidden me from conveying the words of my Lord." [Sunan Abi Dawud (5/103), Sunan al-Tirmidhi (5/184), Sunan al-Nasai (101), and Sunan Ibn Majah (1/73)]
Jabir continued: "A man from Hamdan approached him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked him: 'From whom are you?' He replied: 'I am from Hamdan.' He said: 'Do your people have power?' He said: 'Yes.' Thereafter, the man began to fear that his people would scorn him. He went to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: 'I will return to you and inform you.' The Prophet (peace be upon him) agreed. In the month of Rajab of the following year, a delegation came to him from Madinah." [Musnad Ahmad (3/390)]
One of the great achievements of calling the tribes to Islam was the meeting between Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) and the delegation from Madinah and the oath of allegiance they gave to him at `Aqabah. This was followed by the emigration to Madinah where the Muslims were finally able to practice Islam in peace and freedom.
This was the turning point for the Muslims. It was so significant that the emigration marks the first year of the Muslim calendar.

When you figure that a lead actor's job is to, essentially, become a vehicle for the viewers to project themselves onto, it's no wonder that so many high-concept films disappoint.
If a film's hero is staring into the eyes of a monster, walking through an otherworldly landscape or caught up in a chase, the viewers will only believe they are there if the proper look is reflected on the actor's face. With so many stars staring at green screens, tennis balls and men in unitards, French filmmaker Christophe Gans realized that the only way to bring the video game "Silent Hill" to life was to scare the bejesus out of his leading lady. Then he recruited one of the best in the business to do just that.
"It's quite inspiring, because you have a sense of what it looks like and what it feels like," actress Radha Mitchell said of the nightmarish creatures who tormented, tortured and terrified her daily on the set of the "Silent Hill" movie. "To actually be physically touching the thing [is better]; it's different to pretend to touch something. When it's touching you, you can feel it. It's great. … This is the thing that's attacking me, and this is pretty much what it would feel like. … You have the real sense of drama doing that."
After Gans (director of the genre-bending cult classic "Brotherhood of the Wolf") decided to go down the path of monster manifestation, he recruited creature and special-makeup-effects creator Patrick Tatopoulos and gave him the ultimate dream job.
"They are the dream of a little girl," said the monster maestro behind "Independence Day" and the "Underworld" movies, describing his thought process while designing the "Silent Hill" baddies. "[Gans] wanted them to be like dolls, all of them. And that's interesting, because that's what you try to avoid usually."
As it turned out, Tatopoulos wasn't the only one living in a dream world.
|See why a guy is walking around with an apron made from human skin and check out clips of the horror flick, cast interviews and more.
"I'd have these crazy dreams all the time," Mitchell said. "That was part of the experience. … When we were shooting this movie, those were images that we saw every day. Every day there was something completely disgusting and new and gross to encounter, and it did affect the subconscious."
A few friends Tatopoulos brought to the set to scare the cast are the gray children — 4-foot-tall tortured souls condemned to spend eternity in a tormented, eternal howl. "We created the arms, and we had a small dancer from China wearing those suits," he said. "One thing that Christophe told me was that, 'I want every single one of those creatures to suffer and scream all the time.' "
A stunt actress "would have a tube coming out of her leg [to breathe] and would sit in that costume for hours," Mitchell remembered. "Some of the time we were shooting outside and it was freezing cold, and the little gray child would come along in her costume, and I never saw her face, and she'd have her little dressing gown on and little slippers, and then she'd take it off and start shooting the scene. It was pretty bizarre."
Another group of scene-stealers are the nurses — blank-faced vixens whose skin has melded with their ashen uniforms for a Florence Nightmare-ingale effect.
"Some of the preparation for this movie we were going to do was watch Japanese violent porn, but we decided not to. I'm sure that was an inspiration to the tone of erotic violence that's in the film," Mitchell said. "There's something erotic about all those monsters, because they're naked-looking and vulnerable in their scariness."
"The nurses are made of a mouth that screams all the time," Tatopoulos said. "Their faces are twisted; you take the skin and flip it around, you lose everything. You lose the eye, you lose everything. The skull is still in the same place, but everything is turned around. And then you have a crack, and then things come out of the mouth, and this mouth stretches open and it screams. It screams all the time. Silent scream, Silent Hill."
One of Tatopoulos' most cherished projects was Pyramid Head, the terrifying executioner from the "Silent Hill" world. "We had to texture the helmet differently, so the helmet we redesigned from scratch, although we kept that very cool triangular-shape pyramid thing, because there's nothing better than that," the creature designer said. "When an actor wears a helmet like that, and he has to be able to turn his head in it, you have to think from scratch. That's the fun part."
"He was definitely one of my favorites," Mitchell said. "Pyramid Head is … this huge mythical character wearing a human-skin apron, and he's horrifying and, in a way, beautiful as well. He symbolizes the darkness. And when the darkness comes, everything in the whole place of Silent Hill becomes different; he signals that by heralding it."
As Mitchell discussed many of these characters, "I never saw that guy's face" is a common response. Such mystery, she said, was more common than you'd think. "I never saw [the actors inside], and they couldn't really see me because the whole costume covered their face. … They were, like, in a cocoon inside their costumes."
Despite the fact that Tatopoulos similarly tormented Mitchell in the 2000 sci-fi hit "Pitch Black," she still hasn't crossed paths with him. "I haven't met Tatopoulos, who I would love to meet," she said. "His work was so genius in the film."
After all, what's important is that the creatures are on set — not the creature maker.

Alias: Black Mamba
Born: 1961-04-24

Career Summary
Roger Mayweather was a two-time world champion. His first world title was the WBC super featherweight title, which he held from 1983 to 1984. He eventually moved up to light welterweight and captured the WBC title 1987, which he held until 1989. He later would capture the IBO light welterweight and IBO welterweight titles. Mayweather closed out his title wins by capturing the lightly regarded IBA welterweight belt.
He briefly stylized himself as the "Mexican Assassin", after a string of victories, most by knockout, over a series of world class Mexican fighters in Los Angeles between 1986 and 1989. This led to his second meeting with Mexico's top fighter Julio Cesar Chavez, who stopped him in ten rounds.
Mayweather was known for having good boxing skills, long arms, and a good right hand. However, he was widely considered by most boxing observers as having a bad chin.
Brother of fellow boxers:
Uncle of fellow boxers:
Post-Fighting Career
He trained his nephew Floyd, who retired in 2008. He drew national attention after he entered the ring in the 10th round of Floyd's April 8, 2006 bout with Zab Judah, after his nephew was fouled by Judah near the end of the round. Mayweather was promptly suspended for one year and fined $200,000 by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
