Nap Nanny® Announces the Arrival of the Chill™, the Only Portable Infant Recliner Designed for Sleep, Play and Peace of Mind

DEVON, Pa., Jan. 25, 2011

DEVON, Pa., Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Nap Nanny Chill is now available and is the answer to every parent's search for better sleep. Now, with the Nap Nanny Chill, anytime can be Chill time, at home or on the go. The Nap Nanny is the only portable infant recliner that provides a safe, stable secure place for baby, asleep or awake. Consumer testing with the new Nap Nanny Chill showed that even the fussiest babies relax and sleep better, giving everyone in the house the sleep they deserve.

"We've heard amazing stories from grateful parents whose babies have found peace in the Nap Nanny Chill. Not only are they relaxing happily they're snoozing for longer, at nap time and nighttime," says President and Founder Leslie Gudel. The Nap Nanny has been in high demand since Gudel, a sportscaster and Mom-treprener, debuted the product in January 2009. The original, patented Nap Nanny was invented by the sleep deprived sportscaster when her healthy baby girl would only sleep upright in a car seat or loving arms.

"We're constantly tweaking and improving, and our engineers have worked hard to make the Chill even more comfortable for babies of all ages," she says of the revolutionary Nap Nanny, the high density foam product which has helped infants (over 8 lbs.) sleep, feed and play in an inclined, comfortable position.

Weighing in at only 3 lbs, the portable Nap Nanny Chill offers a snugger fit at the hips, with slightly higher sides, a redesigned three-point harness, a wide base for stability, and a waterproof liner to protect the foam core. It mimics the basic contours of a car seat, but is sloped at 30° at the top and curved gently at the foot to cradle the baby and prevent sliding.

The Nap Nanny Chill comes with one super-soft, washable zip cover and is available in traditional Pink and Blue, two neutrals — Sage and Camel — as well as the playful Giraffe print. Extra covers are sold separately, and a new travel carrier is also now available.

Like its predecessor, the Nap Nanny Chill recliner is a stand-alone product and not a sleep positioner. It can be carried easily from room to room, but is designed for FLOOR USE ONLY — it should never be placed in a crib, play yard or elevated surface.

The Nap Nanny Chill is available through a number of online retail outlets, at retail stores throughout the USA and Canada or at www.napnanny.com.

Baby Matters, LLC, parent company of Nap Nanny, is a privately held company and was founded in 2009.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2011

NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- GQ magazine reveals its list of the 25 "Coolest Athletes of All Time" in the February issue, featuring photos of sports icons past and present, those most remembered and revered; athletes who played the game like it was an expression of who they were, while teaching the fans how to be big-time with grace, style, and swagger.

From Garry Shandling on Muhammad Ali ("I'd be honored to be knocked out by Ali. To stare up through foggy contact lenses and see him looming over me with that devilish grin, shaking his fist, mouthpiece half out, as he yells for me to get up—all while the referee is counting to 10—would be a dream come true."), to GQ's food critic and former 76ers beat reporter Alan Richman on Julius Erving ("He invented airborne journeys to the basket, the unlikely ones that began too far from the rim or too close to the baseline but ended with him descending from above. He was the first player to rise up and wait patiently until those guarding him came down. Before him, the dunk was still-life. After him, it was poetry in motion..."), GQ asked friends and family of the magazine to share their thoughts on why they'll never tire of watching these athletes race, score, and win. A complete list of GQ's 25 "Coolest Athletes of All Time" follows below.

Janet Jackson's official website www.janetjackson.com sold over 96% of the presale tickets for the North America Tour on the first day of presales. The "Number Ones: Up Close and Personal Tour" is the first time Janet has hit the road since her record breaking appearance at The Essence Music Festival. These performances will be Janet's largest ever world tour celebrating, for the first time, the Icon's 35 number one hits in 35 global cities. Janet still holds the record for the most successful debut concert tour by a recording artist with her 1990 "Rhythm Nation Tour" and is continuing to shatter records.

Janet enlisted her fans to help schedule the cities of her largest tour yet. Fans submitted suggestions to www.janetjackson.com to have their city selected. Janet will kick off the start of her tour February 4th in Manila, Philippines. This tour will focus on venues that will allow Janet to be up close and personal in a much more intimate setting. In each selected city JANET will offer something different to her performance so no show will be the same. This tour is JANET more revealed, more intimate, and more personal than ever before. Don't look for special effects. Just look at Janet.

In each of the 35 cities Janet will recognize 20 young people under 20 whose lives and work have enriched their communities in a major way. "I want to meet 20 young leaders who are changing their communities for the better. I'm asking my fans and their friends, parents, relatives, neighbors and teachers to nominate five people to qualify as one of the 20 under 20 in each city. The 20 people chosen and the person who nominated them will be VIP guests at my show. I will invite the 20 sponsors and the 20 winners to the concert and backstage. There are many young people changing the word and I want them to be recognized during my tour. I want to learn from them how they are changing the world. You all know someone who is making a difference, so get in touch. You can nominate them on JANETJACKSON.COM," said the Icon.

Janet is nominated for a Best Actress NAACP Image Award for her performance in "Why Did I Get Married Too." For which she also co wrote the theme song, "Nothing." The ballad achieved number one iTunes status. "Nothing" is in contention for best original song in a motion picture according to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ®. Janet currently stars in Tyler Perry's successful and critically acclaimed motion picture, "For Colored Girls."

Her upcoming book, "True You" is being published by Karen Hunter Publishing, an imprint of Gallery Books at Simon & Schuster. "True You" will be in stores on February 15th. Janet's first book will reveal her unique, never before revealed perspective on self esteem. "True You" chronicles Janet's lifelong struggles with weight and self-esteem. Though not a biography, JANET shares intimate stories from her past, present and until now private communications, from her fans on their mutual struggles. "We took this journey together and if my fans had not been so open with me about their problems, I don't believe I would have been able to share this truth," said JANET. "True You" features information from Janet's personal nutritionist, David Allen, a detailed food and menu plane including never before published recipes, created specially for JANET, by Chef Andre of kathy ireland Worldwide's Acafe, and finally JANET's personal journey with her long time and award winning, personal trainer, Tony Martinez. "Everyone is not blessed to have someone like Tony who makes being healthy and fit fun. Being able to share Tony's gifts with my fans, especially young people, is very motivating to me. Tony is a genius," continued JANET. The book is a self help, healing guide of hope where Janet will use anecdotes from her life to illustrate the power of self acceptance and love.

Cheating: To forgive is possible, but to forget is impossible

Forget all the hypocritical clichés on forgiving and forgetting.

To forgive is possible, but to forget is impossible, except you are suffering from amnesia.

Your brain keeps records of the experiences of your life and you cannot delete them by wishing them away.
You have to learn to live with them for life.

Honestly, I can only forgive if the offender is truly repentant.

There is no forgiveness without repentance.
That is why our Lord and Messiah Jesus Christ warned us to REPENT OR PERISH.
So, except you really repent, you will perish.
Only God knows when, where and how.
So, the sooner you repent the better, healthier and safer you would be.



Photo Credit: Saving Your Marriage Advice.


Personally if I catch my woman or wife in adultery and she repents, I will forgive her. But there is no way you can delete it from your memory.

The grave consequences of infidelity are life-threatening, because the offenders can go as far as plotting to eliminate you to cover up and continue their infidelity.

The woman is to blame in infidelity, except she is a victim of rape.



There is no excuse for infidelity if you truly love your partner.

If you no longer love your partner or you are tired of your relationship or marriage, the wise thing to do is QUIT.
QUIT AND THEN YOU ARE FREE TO DO AS YOU WISH AND NOBODY CAN ACCUSE YOU OF INFIDELITY.

But when you are stabbing your partner in the back, you are actually killing him or her.

To save your life, get rid of the offender before he or she kills you.

The world is a battle field, and we are all fighting for survival in a hostile planet.

It is better to lose your lover than to lose your life.

Actress Kim Cattrall Reveals Her Secret to Younger Looking Body Skin

Actress Kim Cattrall Reveals Her Secret to Younger Looking Body Skin
Kim Cattrall Makes the Switch to Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Anti-Aging Body Wash & Body Lotion

Cincinnati, January 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Award-winning actress Kim Cattrall is revealing one of her most unexpected beauty secrets: she swapped her body products and upgraded to Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Advanced Anti-Aging Body Wash and Body Lotion for softer, smoother and younger looking skin after one use. The striking star, best known for portraying Samantha Jones on Sex & The City, is now encouraging women to follow her lead and demand more from their body products to achieve a youthful appearance from head to toe.




“As an actress, Kim works hard to look her best on and off the big screen. We are thrilled that the Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Advanced Anti-Aging Body Wash and Body Lotion are essential parts of Kim’s beauty routine,” said Joe Arcuri, Vice President, North America Female Beauty, Procter & Gamble.

“It’s important that I keep my body skin looking smooth and radiant,” said Kim. “Now that I’ve swapped to Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Advanced Anti-Aging Body Wash and Body Lotion, it’s never been easier to achieve firm skin that looks younger after just one shower.”



In a study conducted by evolutionary biologist Dr. Bernhard Fink, the impact of body skin’s appearance was explored in relation to perception of age. The study indicated that, when judged independently from the face, your body skin, if maintained, is perceived up to 10 years younger than your face and adds to the overall perception of youthfulness. Dr. Fink’s findings signal the importance of body skin and that looking young requires taking care of both your face and your body skin – and women agree. During a recent P&G survey of over one thousand women ages 35 and older, 93% believed that looking young requires taking care of both your face and body skin, however a staggering 80% had never heard of anti-aging body wash products.

Harnessing the power of Total Effects skin care, Olay developed the Total Effects 7-in-1 Advanced Anti-Aging Body Wash and Body Lotion with innovative formulas that go beyond basic cleansing and moisturizing to remove dry skin cells and improve skin elasticity for younger looking skin. Designed to fight the seven signs of aging all over the body, the Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Advanced Anti-Aging Body Wash and Body Lotion help to improve skin’s elasticity in seven days and provide radiant skin in just one month.

No stranger to the spotlight, Kim Cattrall continually works to keep her body looking young and healthy. The Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Advanced Anti-Aging Body Wash and Body Lotion can now be credited as one of the acclaimed actress’s top beauty secrets for maintaining her famous physique.

To find out more about Kim’s partnership with Olay, log on to www.facebook.com/olay or check out www.olay.com to explore the brand’s collection of body products for women of all ages, including the now available Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Advanced Anti-Aging Body Wash and coming in February, the accompanying Body Lotion.

My dear Nigerian girls and ladies

Beautiful Nigerian maiden by Grace Bernard

My dear Nigerian girls and ladies

Lest we forget, not all girls are ladies.
That said, let me PLEASE, and appeal to you one more time,
It is good to love and have fun, but PLEASE, DO SO WITHOUT LOSING YOUR DIGNITY, INTEGRITY AND NOBILITY AND NOT BEHAVING LIKE DOGS.
God made every woman to be the virtuous woman, but majority of them have rewired themselves to become promiscuous and unscrupulous women who do not care about the dignity, integrity and nobility of womanhood.
Our beautiful daughters, sisters, aunts and mothers deserve RESPECT and we should TREAT them with dignity as not seen and used as sex objects.
You should be controlled by your brains and not by money and sex.
You should be ruled by your intellect and not by your animal instinct.
You humans created in the beautiful and wonderful image of God and not animals.
So, do comport yourselves as God made you beautiful, powerful and wonderful helpmate for men.
Be a blessing to your family and society and not a curse.
Make us proud and not disgraced.
You must reject everyone who sees you as a sex object.
YOU ARE NOT A SEX OBJECT, BUT AN OBJECT OF BEAUTY, DIGNITY, INTEGRITY AND NOBILITY AND A GREAT BLESSING TO HUMANITY.

Sing and share this all time classic song by
Juliana Aquino

I’m So Glad That I’m A Woman lyrics

In the morning when I wake up
As I comb my hair
I can hear my daddy saying
It’s a big big world out there
While putting on my make-up
His words linger in the air
Just use the love I gave you
And you can make it anywhere

I’m so glad that I’m a woman
I know I wouldn’t trade
I know I got it made
We’re the life line of mankind
And now is the time for me

Life is such a challenge
Live it day by day
You never know what’s gonna happen
A what might come your way
Just stop and think about it
There is nothing we can do
They can’t live without us and
We can’t live without them too
