Few sports fans would question ESPN's relevance in broadcasting games and providing commentary. However, some of its decisions and slants of coverage would make many first-semester journalism students cringe.
Much has been made of the network's "coverage" of the Mike Leach-Adam James-Craig James-Bruce Feldman saga, and while it remains a mystery to many how Craig James is still employed (and prominently!) by the station, that is another story for another day. Old news, if you will.
Instead I'd like to look at three incidents that took place over the past few weeks that have gotten varying levels of media coverage to date. They have also made me, someone who grew up glued to ESPN and ESPN.com, question yet again the company's impartiality and decision making.
Urban Meyer
I'm guessing you've heard, by now that Urban Meyer is the new coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes. He was hired on Nov. 28, but it was reported as early as Nov. 17 that he had accepted the job. However on Nov. 19 Meyer, who was employed by ESPN as a broadcaster, called the Nebraska-Michigan game. He was slated to call the Ohio State-Michigan game on Nov. 26 until ESPN first decided he would be better in the studio that day, and finally said that he asked off of the assignment.
When asked on the air during the Nov. 19 telecast about his status with Ohio State he said that there was "no truth" to those Ohio State rumors. And nine days later he is their coach.
When you testify in court you are told to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." If Meyer had been in court he would have perjured himself. Maybe he told the truth--but definitely not the whole truth. Doesn't ESPN's on-air talent owe viewers more than that? After all Meyer was broadcasting a game involving two of Ohio State's chief rivals! Why not pull him off the air until the rumors subsided or he (inevitably) took the job?
Sports Illustrated's Richard Deitsch wrote a column on just this issue, and in it ESPN's programming folks defend their move--which makes this all the more disturbing.
The Longhorn Network
Like seemingly many others, the house at which I had Thanksgiving dinner was not blessed with the NFL Network, so my nightcap was not Ravens-49ers, but instead Texas-Texas A&M.
As many of you may know, earlier this year ESPN launched the Longhorn Network with a 20-year, $300 million deal. The network's main programming is University of Texas sports.
You may see where I'm going with this...
One of the great things ESPN does do for journalistic integrity is it maintains an ombudsman, who is a third-party employed for a finite period of time who is there to objectively evaluate the integrity of ESPN's coverage (we'll just ignore for now that one former ombudsman had allegedly made lots of money from ESPN prior to his employment). Currently ESPN's ombudsman services are being rendered by the Poynter Institute, a highly-respected journalism non-profit.
In October, Kelly McBride of the Poynter Institute wrote on ESPN.com about the issue of the Longhorn Network and ESPN coverage and came to this conclusion:
Seems awfully disingenuous for the station to pass itself off as an impartial broadcaster of a game when one team winning helps the broadcasting company more than the other.
But actually, on the face I don't have a huge moral objection to ESPN covering Texas games on its family of networks. What did bother me as I watched the UT-A&M game was that ESPN advertised during breaks in the action for University of Texas basketball coverage on the Longhorn Network! While the announcers seemed to remain unbiased in coverage, I can't imagine being a Texas A&M fan watching that. I would think I was stuck watching Hawk Harrelson call a White Sox-Cubs game as a Cubs fan. No wonder A&M bolted for the SEC (but really, the Longhorn Network is why they absconded).
Bernie Fine
Yeah, I'm opening this can of worms. As you've likely read, former Syracuse basketball assistant coach Bernie Fine is accused of molesting at least three young boys.
Since 2003 ESPN has had in its possession a tape in which Fine's wife Laurie discusses with one of the victims the abuse he endured. ESPN freely admits having the tape and said it did not reveal the tape until this week because the story could not be corroborated.
There are a few things seriously wrong here.
1. As a graduate of journalism school myself, I understand that journalists don't tend to work with law enforcement, but instead they work parallel to law enforcement. That being said, this was not an investigation into political corruption or campaign finance violations or something like that. This was about child abuse and a predator that was still on the street. ESPN should not have played judge, jury and executioner with vital evidence.
2. ESPN said it couldn't corroborate the story. This statement in and of itself reeks of arrogance. The implication is that if ESPN can't find corroboration, no one can. Is that not what the police are for?
3. ESPN said that it released the tape only after a voice recognition expert matched the voice on the tape to Laurie Fine. This was done after the story was corroborated. Why not try and match the voice eight years ago? By matching the voice to Laurie Fine ESPN would have its corroboration! ESPN's logic was entirely backwards here, and by hiding the tape under a pillow in Bristol, young boys in the Syracuse area were being put in danger.
So what is my conclusion? Would I like to ask some bigwigs at ESPN some questions? Of course, but I don't think they'd want to talk to little old me. Will I continue to rely on ESPN? Yes, I will. But will I continue to be skeptical of what it disseminates? Absolutely... and you should be too.

Recalls: Acura, Suzuki, Chrysler, Infiniti
More bolt problems affect Acura and Suzuki; Chrysler suffers from transmission fractures; the steering system on the new Infiniti Q50 is prone to failure.
The 2014 Acura RLX, the company's flagship sedan that was redesigned this year, has one or several bolts on the rear suspension that may come loose and fall out, which could cause part of the suspension to become misaligned. The eight bolts may not have been tightened properly on up to 7,387 cars in the U.S. No related accidents or injuries have been reported, Honda said. Dealers will begin repairs early next month. Owners can visit www.recalls.acura.com or call 1-800-382-2238 for more information.
On Friday, Honda recalled 19,197 Acura MDX SUVs, also from 2014, for driveshafts that can detach from each other. Bolts from universal joint bolts can loosen and fall out, which can cause "excessive noise and possibly damage the vehicle."
Chrysler is recalling 5,663 cars for transmission shafts that can fracture. The 2013 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Ram 1500 have 8-speed automatic transmissions that can fail due to a faulty forging process at the factory. Only those cars built in a certain range with all-wheel-drive and V6 engines are affected, for a total of 4,194 in the U.S., Chrysler said. There have been no reported accidents or injuries related to this issue.
Dealers will replace the transmission assembly — specifically, the output shaft — at a date to be determined. Owners can call Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403 for more information.
On Wednesday Chrysler recalled 522 cars, including the 2013 Chrysler 200, 2013 Dodge Avenger, 2014 Jeep Compass and the 2014 Jeep Patriot, for engines that can lose oil pressure or have their main bearings fail.
Suzuki is recalling 142 cars for bolts that can fall out of the transmission. On certain 2013 SX4 models with the continuously variable transmission, the bolts securing the drive plate to the torque converter can loosen, cause noises and potentially get caught between the plate and the engine block, causing the engine to stall.
Between May and October, Suzuki received 22 complaints in Japan of cars making strange noises during startup. The bolt problems may have been due to a "change in workers" at the factory during an earlier time.
Dealers — those that remained open for service after the company pulled out of the U.S. market last year — will tighten the bolts starting this month. Owners can call Suzuki at 1-800-572-1490.
Nissan is recalling 23 Infiniti Q50 sedans for steering failures. The 2014 Q50 has an optional industry-first "drive by wire" steering system that is completely electronic and uses a mechanical linkage only as a backup. However, after making a software update on a small batch of cars, Nissan found that in below-freezing temperatures the steering-wheel actuators may not receive any electrical current to turn the wheels and may also disable the mechanical backup for brief periods. Nissan found the problem on a car in Canada in early November.
Nissan, which delayed the Q50's launch by one month to fix last-minute problems, has already contacted the 23 owners by phone and fixed the steering with a software update. Owners were told not to drive their cars; their vehicles were towed and dealers provided a loaner during the repairs.

Any chance that you might ever grow up and stop trying to create arguments on here? I don't care about recalls, and you doing the childish "ha ha" about Japanese cars when Chrysler has way more recalls that any other automaker in 2013 makes you look like an azz. Of course, if that's your goal, then well done!
2015 Ford Mustang mileage drops slightly, per EPA estimates.

No one was hurt, and no word on the extent of possible damages at the plant.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources says deer should be abundant for the state's firearms deer season, which begins Saturday.
DNR deer management biologist Jim Mitchell says that with recent rains, the summer's drought should have a negligible effect on deer.
Last year, an outbreak of an insect-borne disease called EHD reduced the deer herd by 20 to 30 percent in some western Indiana counties. But Mitchell says the herd in those areas appears to be recovering.
The firearms deer season runs through Dec. 2. Hunters killed about 125,000 deer last year, down slightly from the 2005 season.

The Connected States of America
Are our borders really the edges of our communities? The "internet guy" in me says "of course not" but that doesn't really take into account how much of our day-to-day interaction takes place in geographical meatspace. But on the other hand, many of America's state borders are very arbitrary delineations of latitude or since-bridged rivers, so how meaningful are they in 2013, really?
What would our borders and communities look like if we looked at other data, like phone calls? At Krulwich Wonders…, Robert Krulwich has taken a look at a couple of alternate "neighborhoods".
The photo above was assembled from anonymous mobile phone data by MIT's Xiaoji Chen, and it which regions call each other the most often. Anyone who's been to my neck of the woods in Austin knows that Texans don't call people in Oklahoma much (or College Station, for that matter), and the NorCal/SoCal split shows that the differences there go beyond suntans and dotcoms. And people in the Plains apparently just want to call anyone they can that doesn't live in the Plains.
"What's it like out there? Just grass here."
Check out the rest of Robert's post for more phone fun, plus a little look at how (not) far our money travels (and what that says about us).

How to Be Happy: 8 Ways to Feel Better About Everything
Who doesn't want happiness? For most people, the question of how to achieve it is right up there with that of wondering what happens to us when we die. And psychology professor Sonja Lyubomirsky is on the forefront of helping everyone find some answers, both through tireless research as well as with her books, like "The How of Happiness" (2007) and its just-published follow-up, "The Myths of Happiness."
Yahoo articles are usually hit-and-miss, but this one mentions a couple good things to keep in mind. Now go and be happy!
I feel pretty good, Mr. President. I feel pretty good.
Don't let anyone tell you this world is getting dumber. It's not, and I see proof of that every day here in our online museum of curiosity. Sure, something's changing about the way we engage with our best and brightest, but I refuse to give in to the cynicism of doubt. This is part of the new classroom, and the old one will catch up soon enough. Here, everyone can learn in their own way, at their own pace, often in subjects they would never encounter, and from hundreds of teachers instead of one.
Plus not one of those kids is wearing white sneakers with his khakis, and that's a victory for science stereotypes! So yeah, I feel hopeful about the future.
Who would you most like to share a breath with?
Since shooting the latest episode of It's Okay To Be Smart, "Whose Air Do We Share?", I haven't been able to escape those poetic feels that come with knowing we all really do share the same air. I mean, our atmosphere's 1044 molecules of air is a lot, but given enough time we will share at least a few of those with everyone, living or dead. That's pretty awesome.
Not only does it give me a wonderful sense of connection with people I'll never get to meet, but it reminds me that we have to be careful about what we're putting in the air up there.
My answer is pretty obvious (just look at the GIF above), but I want to hear from you all (it will make sense after you watch the video at the link, of course): Living or dead, science-y or not, famous or anonymous, whose air are you most excited to share?
This is beautiful!
Women in Burkina Faso are excited to see the new power mill that Peace Corps Volunteer Brook Abitz helped the local women's association fund for the community.
Happy helping! Smile for building communities, for volunteering, for helping your fellow man.
STUDY: Office Cats Increase Productivity
Want your employees to work harder? Get a cat. At least, that's according to new research from the University of Buffalo.
A study, which was released today on the school's website, found that having cats present in an office environment increased worker output by as much as 45%.
"What we found was not so much that people worked harder," said researcher William Fry, "but that they had fewer distractions. They no longer had to go to Internet sites like I Can Has Cheezburger or The Fluffington Post to get their cat fix — they just had to glace over to the next cubicle."
On second thought, this study doesn't seem credible.
Via pochemucha.
Smiles at work! Post copies of this study all over the office, sneak them under your boss's door, and create magazines for the bathroom with just these findings and this picture over and over…for when people spend more than 5 minutes in the bathroom…
Anyway, Office Cats.
April 9, 2013: The Oil Man
Personal anecdote
I've never experienced a more wonderful time having my car serviced. Talked with an 80 year old Portuguese man, a retired butcher with 58 years of marriage under his belt, for fifteen minutes. He, with a bright spirit and warm heart, offered me a bit of advice in life. He reminded me to "how do you kids say, go with the flow?", to not lose sight of what's important, and to never stop trying to improve, but still be happy with who I am. Thank you for bringing joy to my day!
A smile a day keeps the doctor away…or something like that. I started this blog because I realized that I (and probably many others do this as well) move too quickly through life, get caught up in silly issues-that-aren't-issues, and forget to love, laugh, and SMILE.
Happiness, true happiness, comes from within - you have to be motivated to be happy, to stay happy, to find things and people that strengthen the happy. Others can't really MAKE you happy.
So, on rough days, on days where it's hard to lift up your spirit, on dark days (or, really, any day you just want to smile), visit this site and hopefully you'll find some bits and pieces of happiness to strengthen and respark your inner happy. Because I know it's there. Because I know the power that 28 little pegs (or 25, or, you know, 0) can have on another set of pearly whites.
It's smile time, lemon lime. So get to it.

When I sprained my knee playing kickball, I learned a lot about mobility.
It was great. I was in a pickle, between bases, about to steal home, doing that back-and-forth, wobbly dance you do when you're not sure if you'll make it. All of a sudden, I heard a POP! and felt a burning pain in my left knee. I was sure that my knee had been ripped right out of my body. Before I knew it, I was on the ground, crying. Everyone saw me crying. Even the girls.
My mom brought me and my throbbing knee to the doctor the next day. After they took x-rays and twisted it a bunch of different ways, they told me I had injured the medial collateral ligament (MCL) of my knee. This meant I was going to be walking with crutches for at least two weeks. I would be wearing a stiff brace around my knee. No more sports for a while.
If you have found yourself all of a sudden needing to use crutches, I have a couple of tips for you.

The National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research was justified in dismissing a former manager who claims he was made redundant without a genuine reason, the Employment Relations Authority has ruled.
Nicholas Bain lost his job as NIWA's commercialisation manager in 2011 as the Crown research institute struggled for funds in the wake of the global financial crisis.
He wanted the ERA to award him $35,000 for six months' wages and compensation for "humiliation, loss of dignity and injury to feelings".
He had already been paid $54,514 for three months' salary and redundancy compensation when his position was disestablished to save NIWA costs. He had worked there for seven years.
Mr Bain also claimed he was entitled to a "bonus payment" of $5000 as part of his contract.
NIWA chief executive John Morgan told the ERA that NIWA's financial position was getting worse in 2010 and it needed to save money.
Key clients were cutting back on spending and revenue was likely to drop by $10 million in 2011, he said.
Management was asked to "identify where the organisation had, or was likely to have, surplus capacity".
Mr Bain was told in March 2011 of a proposal to "disestablish" his position.
He was given several weeks to provide feedback on the proposal, but was told in April that NIWA had decided to go ahead with redundancy.
Instead of working out his three-month notice period, he was paid $54,514 for three months' salary and redundancy compensation.
Mr Bain said the dismissal was not justified because NIWA was simply "going through the motions" and had no good reason to disestablish his position.
"NIWA failed to put forward any business case that identified how the business could operate more efficiently without this role in its structure."
He had provided NIWA with comprehensive feedback proving his role was vital to delivering the outcomes the government expected, but the organisation failed to engage with him.
Mr Bain also claimed his redundancy was predetermined by management – for example, general manager of strategy Dr Bryce Cooper and Mr Morgan avoided contact with Mr Bain after the proposal to review his position was announced.
However, ERA member Kenneth Anderson found NIWA was justified in dismissing Mr Bain.
"An analysis of the overall evidence does not raise any suggestion that the decision by NIWA to make Mr Bain's position redundant was other than genuine," he said in his determination.
"I conclude that this was a business decision that a fair and reasonable employer was entitled to make, given the overall circumstances."
Although NIWA could have handled Mr Bain's redundancy in a "more sensitive manner", he found it was not an unfair decision.
And there was no evidence to support Mr Bain's claim he should have been paid a $5000 bonus.
Mr Anderson reserved a decision on costs, leaving it up to NIWA and Mr Bain to reach a settlement.

CHARLOTTE — In the spring of 1963, a prominent civil rights leader led dozens of protesters on a four-mile march from a predominantly African-American college campus to the center of Charlotte's downtown. At the rally, Dr. Reginald Hawkins warned city leaders that if something wasn't done to end segregation, future marches might not be so peaceful. Nearly two weeks later, civil rights and white business leaders quietly joined forces to desegregate the city's upscale restaurants and hotels. In a simple but powerful gesture, they ate lunch together in the restaurants, peacefully opening the door to integration. By Mitch Weiss.
CHAPEL HILL — Do your kids love chocolate milk? It may have more calories on average than you thought. Same goes for soda. Until now, the only way to find out what people in the United States eat and how many calories they consume has been government data, which can lag behind the rapidly expanding and changing food marketplace. Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are trying to change that by creating a gargantuan map of what foods Americans are buying and eating. By Mary Clare Jalonick.

FAYETTEVILLE — Ken Carter was looking at a turkey. But not the feathered kind. Carter had consecutive strikes. One more would make three - a turkey, in alley slang.

July 8, 2005
Albany--As Hurricane Dennis moves closer to the area, many in South Georgia begin to prepare for the possibility of damage and power outages. Local stores say they are seeing a pick up in items such as flashlights, batteries, and bottled water.
Albany's Tractor Supply Company says they sold the few generators they had left early this morning. One was even purchased by a man who drove up from Perry, Florida.
"Customers are looking for portable units, we had quite a few in stock yesterday and today, but We sold out as of this morning by ten a.m," said Sean Murphy manager of Tractor Supply Company.
"We called around this morning, we called Waycross, Valdosta and Tallahassee stores. This is the only store that had four, and I'm here at about 1:00 p.m and they're out," said Perry, Florida resident Mike Howard.
Georgia dealers have fewer generators, because so many were shipped to Florida for sale during the Sunshine State's hurricane tax-free holiday in June.

Rialto Theatre
149-50 15th Road,
1 person favorited this theater
This small theatre in Whitestone, a community north of Flushing, Queens, operated for several decades with late-run double features, but early fell victim to competiton from home televsion.
More information is needed about the Rialto's history and present status.
Recent comments (view all 13 comments)
The photos I posted above are located here now that I've reorganized my photobucket account. The old links no longer work.
There's a rare B&W photo from 1946 of the Rialto's marquee and entrance in Jason Antos's "Whitestone," recently published by Arcadia as a $20 paperback. Most chain bookstores in the Greater New York area have browsing copies available in their travel sections.
I was on the block earlier today and pulled over to see if the place was open. While the doors were locked and the lights turned off, I could look through the small square porthole windows on the front doors and note that there seems to be a small vestibule leading to a set of doors leading into the large gym space. The vestibule floor seems to retain the original upwards slope towards the inner doors and I suspect that this may have been the original outer vestibule under the theatre's canopy. Next time I'm in a Barnes & Noble, I'll have to look for the "Whitestone" book Warren posted about above and check out the 1946 image of the Rialto for comparison.
Those inner doors were open when I visited today, by the way, and I could make out that the space beyond is one big open room right back to the rear wall of the building. It was too dark to make out any details. I wonder if any elements remain at all – perhaps on the ceiling?
A recent photo of the building as the home of the Dwarf Giraffe Athletic League can be seen in the new article about Whitestone at www.forgotten-ny.com
I have very fond memories of The Rialto. JJF is right—we called it the itch—probably because it was pretty funky and your feet stuck to the floor. I went to the Saturday double features—generally movies that had long seen their day in theaters. I loved the horror and sci fi movies. For instance, I saw the double feature of the original "Frankenstein" and "Dracula" there. I think the doors opened at 1:00 on Saturday afternoon. I would bring 51 cents: 26 cents(?)for the ticket and 25 cents to spend in the snack machines (there was no candy counter) which dispensed soda, popcorn and ice cream. I think the owner would sell the tickets and then go upstairs and run the projector. There was a matron who would prowl the aisles with the flashloight and intimidate the kids. I went to PS 79 which was a block away and rememmber when they gutted it either 1957 or 1958.
Here is a 1946 photo:
I remember the itch.Sat Matinees had a double feature newsreel 15 cartoons a serial or 3 stooges coming attractions and Maybe a guest appearance by Superman(Bud Collier), Brace Beemer (The lone ranger) or Floyd Buckley The red Lantern from the land of the lost. I learned all about necking in the back row. Mr Schafter was the owner it was a family run theatre. H sent his grandson to college to become a lawyer.
According to the Dwarf Giraffe website the theater was purchased in 1966 and had been used as a Jewish Temple in the years since the Rialto closed. The Athletic League gutted the "theater floor" – per their description – for conversion to a gym. There are photo galleries on the website that show numerous views of the space, and indeed, it appears the room was gutted to the bare brick walls. However, it is possible that the ceiling – which consists of several widely spaced cross beams with either a tin or coffered motif in the recesses and crown molding (all painted white) – may be original to the theater.
What a strange location for a movie theatre! If one steers around the Google Maps view, the building is surrounded by private homes on both sides of the street. Could that view actually be the rear of the cinema, which might have had its front entrance on the next street?
Nope. That is the front of the theater, Tinseltoes. I uploaded some pics I took a few years back and included a pair of views of the theater's rear wall from the next block over (which had to be viewed through the backyards of the neighboring houses).

In the AOK Arts and Literature category, all three courses must emphasize arts or
literature. At least one of the three courses must be in literature. At least
one of the three courses must be in the arts.
Literature provides an imaginative record of all human experience. Drawing from
all disciplines, it reexamines what has been thought and discovered and speculates
about what could be. The methods of literary study improve students' critical thinking
skills as well as their writing and speaking skills. Intellectual engagement with
literature during their college years helps students to develop the habit of reading,
to find reading pleasurable, and thus to develop their inner resources of imagination,
creativity, and sensitivity to the human condition.
The overall goal of any course in literature is to help students become competent
readers and interpreters (in both written and spoken form) of literary texts. Achieving
this goal involves developing skills in careful reading and formal analysis, understanding
the contexts—for example, historical, social, cultural, economic, and technological—that
shape literature, and recognizing that there are different critical approaches in
literary studies.

Sorry I had to post again because my menu isnt letting it show up so I can post more so I start again. In 1791, Moritica's brother's death brings her sorrow and leads her to immortality as a v...
It was a warm summer night with a bit of a gentle breeze, In the state if New Jersey. As we approached with Funeral home on the lonely woods I saw many handsome men in their suits and beautiful women in their victorian dresses man of them whom I did not know. This night was to celebrate the death of one whom I was dearly fond of; My brother Amand. As I said before many of the people that came to his funeral were his friends. Of course my family was in shame of my brother and did not bother to show their faces at his procession. The death of my brother Armand made everything hard for me. He was my only sibiling and one of my best friends. My mother kept us in complete iccolation from everyone and the world because she stated the world was sick and dreadful. In my opinion I would love to say my mother was insane or psycho.
I walked into the funeral home and saw flowers and candles leading the way to where the body of my deceased brother. The large procession went on and the whole time I was completely blank of thoughts...I was so numb. Then it was my turn for me to say my final memories and words the Armand. I stood up on the podium and began talking. "I would like to thank you for coming night to celebrate the death of my brother, Armand Moretti." I spoke as I looked at everyone in the room. "I hope many of us know what I meant by 'celebrate'. This is not a time to mourn but a time to celebrate the rebirth of this man that was once in our lives and in this world." I said in a more adjusted voice. I looked around a bit more and a man caught my glance. His skin was a very pale colour that elluminated against the candle light. His hair was a raven black about shoulder length. "how wonderful."I said to myself in a whisper. I continued. " For those of you who don't know me. Im Morticia. I've known Armand my whole life and had my daily brother-sister fights but Armand was a very generous man. I haven't shared any fantastic memories with my dear brother but I can tell you one thing... His life was full of tradgies. It was a constant of him...Most of us are filled with sorrows but there are some of us that are born with sorrow in our vains...and thats who Armand was -The boy with sorrows in his blood. I just pray that Armand is in a place somewhere full of elegance and beauty. I have no more to say" I stated and walked off the podium.
I have to admit that was the stupidest speech I had ever made but I couldnt stand the pain of standing up there and telling away my brother's life...It was too much for me.
After getting off the podium I walked out the funeral home and to my carriage. I wasnt going to leave him here but I was to wait to get my last moments with him before he was to be put in the earth.
After about an hour and a half I approached the funeral home and went into the back where the morgue portion of the funeral home was, to see my brother once again. I sat with my brother for about two hours and the owner of the funeral home came in to greet me with a kick out of the home. I had told her of my feelings and left me to stay with my deceased brother for as long as I liked.
I sat there for a little longer and thought of my brothers cause of death. It was a suicide. Of course I was questioned about his death because he was apperently pushed of the balcony. There were a bit of accusations of me being the person to murder my own brother. Of course I had been the one to witness it.
It was false but a the same time I was worried because my brother would see visions. I was worried my brother was as insane as my mother.
It had been three days since the wake. I sat in the morgue with my brother...watching him decay. It was gruesome but I did not want to leave him. The owner was waiting to me to leave so they could get him buried. I was sick from the smell of rotten human flesh. I left the morgue and went home to Newark where I sat with the boys of Capo de Tutti Capi(sorry I need a mafia name and like yeah its a real mafia name but totally outta the time frame...sorry but its my story lol).
I was sitting there with 'The Boss of the Bosses' and going through his prositution rack. Of course I had not been one of them prositutes but I had been the 'little girl' with the mafia only because I had been a Moretti. I sat and talked with 'John Torrio' and had a couple of drinks and what not. I had realise I needed to find a man capable to keep me as happy as the boys of the mafia. John promised me to find me someone to keep to myself as long as I promised not to give away the secrets of the murder of David Griggs. I made a pact to that anyway because thats what family did.
I had spent about an hour with John and decided I needed to carry on with my doings. I went home by foot but as soon as I stepped foot in my house I felt a presences in my home.
I went up stairs to clean up my body and image when I noticed a man standing in my hallway.
(An: Well this is a vampire story....I know it may not be interesting but tell me what you think and I promise to update. Yes My Chem will be in the story soon. XD...expect twists in this story

Sunday night at the Golden Globes, everyone was busy fawning over new mom Claire Danes. And rightfully so -- she looked fantastic for having had a baby less than a month prior. (Seriously, was there an industrial-sized pad under that Versace?) But there was another noteworthy new mom in attendance: Megan Fox.
Unsurprisingly, Fox looked gorgeous and tiny and glowy and all things enigmatic for a new mom, but that wasn't what was so interesting about her. What really made my ears perk up was when Fox was being interviewed by Mario Lopez on the red carpet, and she more or less admitted that she loves her child more than her husband, Brian Austin Green. Fox said:
"It's all I ever wanted to do so I'm just happy I got the opportunity to do it. And I was very overwhelmed with the intensity of the emotions I felt when I had him so ... I'm in love with him and Brian gets jealous, I just love him so much." And Brian quickly added: "Well because she wants to marry him and I keep telling her that doesn't ... You don't marry him, because he's your baby boy."
Now, clearly this is all in jest, and Brian has a good sense of humor about Megan loving her son like crazy (I.E., "more than him"), but it raises an interesting point: Do you pay more attention to your baby or your partner?
When I was still pregnant, I heard from many people how important it was to keep the connection with your partner strong, etc. And I totally believe that. One hundred percent. But in the beginning, babies need more attention than relationships do, plain and simple.
My time with my husband now is after my daughter goes to sleep (and after we're done walking the dog, taking showers, doing miscellaneous things for the following day, etc.). When she's up, we're pretty much all about her. Do we hover over her 24:7, documenting and commenting on her every move? That would be a no. But there's a whole lot of "Oh, my God, look at what she's doing!" going on when it's the three of us. And yes, we'll interrupt each other to make exclamations like this.
Any and all romance is not dead in our relationship. Not at all. But long, sexy, wine-filled dinners aren't exactly the norm in our lives these days. We've improvised to suit our baby's schedule. (I.E., quick, frozen meals, often with a bouncing baby and Sophie the Giraffe in our lap.) And, in a way, that's how it should be when you decide to have a kid.
The way I (we) see it is we've had seven years together, where it was all about us. It's time for our baby now. And it will be about her, and any other kids we have, for a while. Because she/they need us. Yes, our relationship needs attention, too, but not like a baby needs attention.
I feel like this is what you sign up for when you have a kid. I'm sure there are some of you out there who manage to give both your relationship and your kids equal attention, and to you -- respect. But we're still figuring things out in my neck of the woods. And not to mention, we're tired. I'm sure there will come a time when my husband and I can take long walks on the beach again, but for now, we're okay falling asleep on the couch most nights to an HGTV show. And one of these days we're going to do both dinner and a movie. And it's going to feel like the very first time.
Do you pay more attention to your kids or your partner?

I think it's amazing to understand that a child dominates much of your time and infants especially need a ton of attention. I hesitate over her implication that she loves the baby MORE than her husband. The divorce rate is incredibly high and I can't help but wonder if it's because too many couples think they're supposed to put their relationship on the back burner because the child is "all that matters".
My kids come first!! I can replace a spouse but I can't replace my kids ever.
I pay more attention to my kids than my husband, and he pays more attention to them than to me. But our kids are 2 and 6 months...they require a lot of attention. In another couple of years, when they are older and a little more independent, we'll be able to have a conversation that isn't interrupted 25 times in 2 minutes by our kids! That's not to say we don't have a loving, nurturing relationship- we do, and we both understand that this is a temporary stage, that when we look back on our lives, will seem like it flew by. Just because we don't have as much time to spend on each other as before doesn't mean we aren't still connecting and modeling a healthy, loving relationship for our daughters.
Giving someone more attention is not the same as loving them more or putting them first. For me, neither my husband nor my daughter comes first-- our emphasis is on the family, not individuals. Each person gets the attention they need. Right now my daughter gets far more attention because she's a newborn, and my husband and I don't have much time to focus on just our relationship, but whatever time we do have we make it count. Each person has to make sacrifices for the sake of the family. My husband and I sacrifice our sleep, finances, and alone time together to take care of our baby. Even our daughter has to sacrifice, by being in daycare so her parents can work to provide for the family. Without any one of us, our family wouldn't be the same, so no one person is more important or more loved than the others.
