NOOOOOOOOOOO!
This is a great supercut of some of the best dramatic scenes of actors yelling "nooooo!"

 

----------------------------------
WATCH KIDS TASTING FOOD FOR THE FIRST TIME
Watching kids eat different foods for the very first time is one of the greatest things about having kids. Their reactions are priceless. And this site, showing kids react to new foods in slow motion, is adorable.

 

-----------------------------------

WATERSKIING BABY!
This seven-month-old baby is actually waterskiing. His parents decided that little Ryder is old enough to be pulled by a boat while wearing skis on his feet. Um, let's just take it easy parents, ok? It is cute though.

 

----------------------------------

CRAZY MOUSTACHE GUY GETS $3000!
Remember the viral video of a homeless man with his funny dancing mustache? (original video is just below this one) Well, people were so impressed and touched by this guy that they decided to donate some money to help him out. Well, the film crew recently made a return visit to him and presented him with $3-thousand and a bunch of other swag.

 

------------------------------------

UNIQUE TALENT #1
If there's a lesson to be learned here it's that you shouldn't always judge people. A couple of guys recently happened upon a homeless man and he happened to be one of the nicest and most entertaining people they've ever met. Helped in large part by his unique mustache talent.

---------------------

UNIQUE TALENT #2
This street artist has mad skills, and if what he can do with a lollipop is 100-percent legit, then this is one of the most amazing things you'll ever see.

-----------------------

THE BEST COMMERCIAL THAT'S NOT ON TV
Kmart is promoting a service that provides shoppers with free shipping for products on Kmart.com in the event that the product is not available in stores. The concept is so simple, it's genius.

------------------------------------

TWO DOGS DINING OUT
Two dogs waiting patiently to get served in "restaurant", and in spite of waiting, never get anything to drink.

 

-----------------------------------

WINGSUIT CAVE FLIGHT
Wingsuit / BASE-jump athlete Alexander Polli does the never before done—a tactical flight through a narrow cave on a rugged mountainside.This is insane.

 

-----------------------------------

YOUNG CANCER PATIENT SCORES A TOUCHDOWN
Great sports moments happen all the time, but when they mix with real life situations and are powerful enough to bring a tear to our eyes, those are the ones that are truly special. Seven-year-old Jack Hoffman is special young boy who's battling brain cancer. He attended the University of Nebraska's spring football game over the weekend and brought the crowd to its feet when he was called in to the game late in the 4th quarter and ran for a 69-yard touchdown. Get yourself some Kleenex and watch this. And for more information on Jack Hoffman and how you could help the fight against children's cancer, go to CureSearch.org.

THINGS YOU HAVE HEARD ON THE MORNING MIX
 
OUR OBSESSION WITH BACON HAS HIT A NEW HIGH
The “Bacon Weave Taco” is a taco shell made entirely out of bacon – which probably makes Taco Bell and their Doritos Locos Tacos very jealous. The folks that run DudeFoods.com have posted instructions on how to make the pork-laden shell, which was inspired by their recent "Bacon Weave Quesadilla." It only takes about 30 minutes to make, which seems like a small price to pay for such a great combination of foods.
 
----------------------
ARE LEGOS SEXIST?
One dad isn’t too happy with the LEGO Company right now, and it’s all because of what he felt was a sexist sticker. Apparently LEGOs had a set of construction worker-themed stickers, and one of them featured a little construction worker waving, with the words, “Hey Babe!” under him.  And while the company intended for this to be “humorous,” the dad wrote letters of complaint until the company made it clear that the stickers had been discontinued.
----------------------
ANGLER CATCHES SHARK WITH TWO HEADS
An angler off the Florida coast landed a bull shark carrying a fetus with two heads. The phenomenon happens when an egg begins to split into twins but doesn't finish the process. Experts believe this is only the sixth such shark fetus to have two heads, and the first of a bull shark. The shark likely wouldn't have lived long in the wild. A marine biologist notes, "When you're a predator that needs to move fast to catch other fast-moving fish…that'd be nearly impossible with this mutation."
 
------------------
SKYDIVER SURVIVED 8000 FOOT FREE FALL
Veteran skydiver Craig Stapleton was attempting a mid-air stunt after jumping from about 8,000 feet, but then both of his parachutes failed. He spun in the air for three minutes before hitting the ground at about 30-miles-an-hour and somehow he survived with minor injuries. His main chute didn’t open all the way, and when he tried his auxiliary chute, it went right into his main chute and stuck there. Stapleton prepared for the hard landing by getting into a crouch so he could roll upon impact, and landed in a row of grapes in recently plowed soil that he said was "very soft."

CLEVELAND MAN FINDS JESUS FACE IN BIRD DROPPINGS
Jim Lawry was in the driveway of his parents’ home in Brooklyn, when he first noticed the bird poop on his windshield. Amazed, he called out his family for a second opinion, and they, too, were left in awe of the image. Jim thinks it’s some sort of sign from above.

LAWS HAVE CHANGED REGARDING THE RESALE OF DROP-SIDE CRIBS
In December 2010, the Consumer Product Safety Commission mandated new safety standards be implemented for all cribs sold or manufactured in the United States by June 28, 2011. While stores already are carrying the new products, childcare services, such as daycare centers and in-home providers, have until Dec. 28 to replace all noncompliant cribs with the new, safer models. The new standards require strengthening slats, improving mattress support, eliminating drop sides, making hardware stronger and conducting more rigorous testing. The Child Care Resource Center suggests that if you already own a crib to verify with the manufacturer that it meets the new safety standards and check to make sure it has not been recalled by going to www.cspc.gov. The agency also warns against buying previously used cribs, or using hand-me-down cribs.
