Michael Jackson's new song Breaking News is one of the first to be released from his new album. The album includes many unreleased songs he recorded before his death. This song in particular was recorded in 2007 in New Jersey. The song has raised a lot of controversy since its release, many fans believe the voice in the song is not Michael. People who have been listening to his music for years believe that the voice in the song does not sound like him. Whether it is Michael or not, the song makes me a little sad. A line in the song really got to me, They want to see that I fall, cause I’m Michael Jackson. You write the words to destroy like it’s a weapon.  This song reminds us all of how badly Michael was treated before his death. The media was constantly out to get him and many people thought ill of him. But, as soon as he died all the negativity was forgotten and everyone loved Michael again. It is sad that he had to die in order for people to realize how great of an artist he really was. On a more pleasant note, his new album will probably do very well and is to be released in December.

Advice for New Moms: Emily A. Clark


Today's sage advice on motherhood comes from Emily of Emily A. Clark, interior decorator, mommy of three, and DIY-genius. I'm particularly grateful for all the "what not to waste your time/money on" advice that's been featured in so many of these guest posts (including this one!). In fact, I'm off to delete some more items from my registry now.

* * *

I'm so happy for Averill and her husband on their impending new addition.  It's hard to believe that in six short years, I've become the mother of three.  Watch out, Averill!  While I still don't feel like I exactly know what I'm doing, I have learned a few things along the way that I'm happy to share. 

My favorites:


Baby Gap's "favorite bundlers" are the absolute best, softest gowns I've found.  My babies lived in these for the first few months of their lives.  They are extremely washable and so easy for those middle-of-the-night diaper changes.  I would highly recommend stocking up on these.



I started off with the deluxe, super-padded highchair for my first baby.  By the second baby, it was a nasty mess and so bulky that it was always in the way.  When my third baby was ready to sit and eat, we ditched the big highchair and went for this small, sleek model from IKEA.  You can buy the padding, if you want it.  I use it without so that it's even easier to wipe down.  It's lightweight and small enough to tuck away in the corner. 



Let me start by saying that not one generic diaper or wipe ever touched my first baby's bottom.  Name brand all the way.  Fast forward to my third baby, and I'm not sure she's ever seen a real "Pamper."  It's definitely an individual decision, but for me personally, I can tell absolutely no difference in the generic vs. name-brand diapers--except for the price.  I'm still using Parent's Choice (Wal-Mart's brand) diapers and wipes with my third, and it hasn't seem to slow her down :)



Bumbo Baby Sitter Aqua #B18-A - High Chairs & Booster Seats

The "Bumbo" seat was a lifesaver for me.  As soon as they could hold their heads up, I popped them in one.  We kept it on our kitchen counter (this is technically against the rules!) while they were really little (always supervised, of course) and even took it out to eat with us.  The baby is happy because he feels like he is up and a part of what's going on.  Mommy is happy because she actually has both hands free to eat/cook/etc.  It's a win-win!


While sippy cups won't come into the picture for a while, these by Gerber are my absolute favorites.  We've gone through lots of cups in our house, and these are the only ones I've found that don't leak and hold up during lots of dishwasher cycles.

I Could've Done Without. . . .


I was adamant that I had to have a $25 wipe warmer on our first baby registry.  In truth, I used the thing for two weeks and threw it out.  It dried out the wipes and the baby didn't seem to care either way.  I think he just wanted a clean diaper. 



While some moms swear by a changing table, I never had one. I just felt like it was another piece to take up space and I honestly ended up changing my babies on our bed, the floor or (gasp!) our living room ottoman.  If you feel like it's necessary, I would go for one of the covered, contoured pads that you place on top of a dresser so that you could remove it later.


My best advice. . . .


When I was pregnant with my first baby, I thought it would be a great idea to pre-invite everyone from work, neighbors, friends, etc., over to see the baby as soon as we got home from the hospital.  Little did I know, I would be a hormonal, emotional, nervous wreck.  I was exhausted but felt like I had to clean the house, put on make up, and wash my hair every time we had another round of visitors.  Oh, and did I mention I was also struggling with feeding the baby?  I was a mess and definitely learned my lesson.  With my second and third babies, I turned off the phone, stayed in and spent the time getting used to our new family.  It's a precious time and one that you should cherish with your husband and baby. 

Best of luck, Averill!  You'll be a terrific mommy.

Point of View, Diction, and Syntax

Watchmen is defiantly unique in comparison to other comic books, especially when in comes to diction and the different points of view. The story is told from a few perspectives, and the words uses are much more complex than the ordinary comic book. Overall, the story contains many abstract ideas which are voiced through it's diction.

The point of view in Watchmen shifts every chapter to a different character's perspective, though the main narrator of the story is Rorschach. He narrates and reflects on the plot through his journal entries, scattered throughout the story. Also, at the end of every chapter there is a newspaper clipping of some sort, sometimes it is the meta story Under The Hood by Hollis Mason. Other times it is various newspapers and essays about the world the story takes place in.

When either Rorschach or Dr. Manhattan narrate the story, they have a very specific way of speaking. Rorschach speaks in messy distorted half sentences. Dr. Manhattan on the other hand speaks in monotone concrete sentences, which have a sense of emotional disconnection to them. This reflects the characters psychology. Rorschach being unstable mentally, Dr. Manhattan being cold and all knowing. Also, Rorschach's journal bubbles are coloured yellow to suggest crudeness in his tone, while Dr. Manhattan's dialogue bubbles are coloured blue to suggest calmness and coldness in his tone.

Many details of the characters can even be found in the structure of the book. Laurie is another main character, who's personality is reflected in the technical aspects of the dialogue. Many of the words in her dialogue bubbles are in bold, to show that Laurie has a very edgy way of speaking. For example she says, “Rape is a moral lapse? You know he broke her ribs?” Her emphasized words show her anger and her tell it as it is personality. Dan on the other hand has almost no emphasize to his words, suggesting the passivity of his character. Adrian's dialogue is often verbose and long, taking up most of the page, this shows both the love for himself and his superior intellect.

All in all, the many different types of vocabulary and points of view in Watchmen adds to the complexity of the story and to the many subplots.

Teaching Us About Second Chances

What Is “The Hills” Teaching Us About Second Chances

Regardless the controversy that emerged after the final episode of “The Hills”, the show still remains very popular and many people consider that it has thought them valuable lessons. Lots of people didn’t even blink an eye in front of the TV in order to see what will happen with the girl that left Laguna Beach. Her career and her relationship with her friends take tumultuous turns during the five seasons in which she is present. When it comes to her love life, two of her relationships are with ex lovers and they don’t bring anything good to her life.

The Hills-Fashion and Hairstyles: Happy Time

First there is Jason, who makes his appearance in the first season and Lauren decides to give him a second chance. More than that, she even declines a summer internship in Paris in order to be close to her love. Unfortunately, she ends up realizing that she has made a mistake by giving Jason a second chance and after breaking up with him she focus on her career, as being the most important thing for her at the moment.

The Hills-Fashion and Hairstyles: The Hills

After another unsuccessful relationship with Brody, Lauren gets back together with another man from her past, Doug. This is also a total fiasco because they soon break up as Lauren feels that there is no sparkle in their relationship. The bottom line is that “The Hills” encourages us to say “no” to second chances.
