In the fall I will have DD1 6yrs home schooled, DD2 3yrs, and a newborn. My girls have very high social needs, and so do I. I'm looking at a few play groups and wondering which ones I should schedule around for the fall. Even without the newborn, we tend to run late, and like to stay late at the park. My girls run off and play for HOURS. Park days are free, unstructured, outside, and social in nature, just the sort of thing I want us doing.
Group A - A church associated play group. This is a small group, from our UU church community that meets at local parks. The adults are my friends, and I feel pretty comfortable with them. Next year the two regular attendees close to DD1's age will be in full time school, so the kids nearest DD1's age will be a not too regular 4.5yr old and a pretty regular 3.5 yr old. There are also several 1.5-2.5 yr olds who will be attending, and I anticipate a few young toddlers coming more frequently, but I highly doubt we'll end up with more big kids. The younger kids are very much DD2's friends. The group packs lunches and stays for hours.
Group B - A well established home school group. On paper this group is a perfect fit for my family. It's a secular group, they meet every week do or die at a park and stay all day, the moms are very like minded to me. It's a casual and inclusive group, and the parks they meet at are local to me. I've been on their list since DD1 was 2.5yrs old, and gone through several phases of trying to attend park day regularly, but somehow I never quite felt like I belonged. The group can be sort of clique-ish - not so much purposefully excluding people but it's easy to feel out of place in the group (other families have said this too). DD1 knows a boy in the group she befriended last year, and has seen and played with a few times since. There are plenty of kids in her general age range. I sort of know many of the moms in the group, and DD1 sort of knows several of the kids.
Group C - A small start up home school group. This group is sort of a spin off of Group B and includes a mom I really like with a little girl DD1 really befriended through Group B. There's another mom I know from LLL years ago, who I like, but her kids aren't really friends with mine (boys a few years offset in ages from my girls). There are lots of girls close to DD1's age (boys would be fine too, but the group has almost all girls her age), though very few close to DD2's age. We've attended this group a handful of times this spring. The whole group leaves in mass at about 12:30 as soon as one family leaves. It feels like it's a 2 hour scheduled activity, not a day at the park. No one packs lunch. My girls are invariably frustrated with everyone leaving just as they were getting settled into playing. Right now we're coming from a dance class and can't arrive until about 11, but next year with a newborn I doubt I'll do much better than that. I haven't made new friends in the group, but I certainly feel welcome and it's worth giving it a shot.
Group D - A home school group that meets twice a month, generally on the same day as Group B (currently Group A meets that day too, but it's moving for the fall). It's officially a field trip group, but they also do a monthly park day. The group is from all over our metropolitan area, and meetings are generally at least 45 minutes from us, often more like 60-90. I like the vibe of the group, but with the drive times and the overlap with other park groups, I've hardly gone at all, so we really haven't made friends in the group (which leaves us less inclined to go...). If we schedule around Group B, I may attend this group more, though with a newborn, it's hard to say.
I'm trying to pick 2 groups to schedule around. Opinions?
SAHM to DD1 8/06 , DD2 8/09 , and DD3 9/12 married to 6/99. We , , , , and lots of and .
I would go to all of them for a couple of weeks before deciding. Are there things you need to schedule so many months in advance? Or can you schedule them once you figure out the playgroup thing?

I would do group B and group C. Group C seems like the best fit and the real only issue is the time. Since you are picking your schedule now, I think you could schedule around that to be there near the start time. Granted, a newborn is hard, but really a 2 hours time frame wouldn't bother me in the list. I rarely have the patience to stay at the park longer than 2 hours anyway. Group B sounds like something that maybe with regular attendance you could make friends and start to enjoy.
Group A would be hard I think, with your DD always being the oldest one there, and as she gets older that age gap is only going to widen, as I assume the next oldest kids could easily end up in school or preschool.
Group D sounds like too much driving for me, especially with a newborn.
To answer a few questions:
Yes, I'm scheduling fall activities in the next month. Classes fill up, especially at preferred times, with preferred instructors, or when there are concurrent classes for my girls.
Group B meets DD1's needs pretty well, but not DD2's or MINE (though I keep telling myself it has real potential, we did attend almost every week of the 2010-2011 school year). I really need the social aspect of a regular park group too. The idea of going with a book sounds beyond miserable to me (and I do love to read). I'm trying to stay mindful of both DD1 and DD2's needs. DD2 will be losing her status as the youngest, but she's too young for me to be trying to really do schooling with. She's at least as social as DD1, and is genuinely attached to her friends.
We are NOT morning people. Not a one of us. My kids generally sleep till 9am (DH arrives home from work around 7-8pm and we do family dinners and evening routines. I have NO interest in shifting this up. It's one of the big benefits of home schooling). The earliest start time I will consider is 10am and that's a stretch. I prefer more like 10:30-11:00. A newborn will likely only make that worse. We really like to stay at the park for a minimum of 2 hours, preferably 3+. The 10:30-12:30 time range is pretty frustrating for all three of us.

I'm jealous you have four park groups to pick from. I am just thinking about creating one because there isn't one around that I know of, or that the people on the local email list know of.
I think if you need a park group for YOU, I'd pick one based on your needs and one based on those of your kids. I would think group A fits for you and your younger DD, and then whichever group is best for your older DD. I'd be inclined to suggest group B. It sounds like group C just annoys you all, even though you like the people you don't like the way it works. Group D is too much driving.
as you write this - it seems the answers are getting clearer for you.
the thing is you cant have it all (seriously i am not trying to be a smart mouth). something has to give. i would prioritize the classes first and then factor the playgroups around you.
seriously i think you might be overthinking things.
I think I'd go with A and B, as long as you think your older daughter will have fun at the A get-togethers.
I'm a fan of A and B. Even though YOU don't have friend at B yet, you most likely will before too long. None the less, esp in the short term, I would keep going to a park day where you see moms you know and feel comfortable around.
We homeschooled for many, many years, and the number one reason why families quite homeschooling (in my very un-scientific study) is that mom neglects her own needs, so eventually crashes. This group will meet YOUR needs for at social outlet better than the other groups at least for a while.
Also, your older DD isn't that much older than the other kids. It's shouldn't be her only social outlet, but it isn't going to hurt her to be the big kid for a few hours a week)
I think B has real potential for your family long term. There's a lot to be said for a well established, mellow homeschool group.
Although D could be good later, right now you really aren't at a phase where going on a ton of overly organized field trips is going to be easy or fun. Give it a couple of years.
C sounds stressful. They just aren't on the same wavelength.
but everything has pros and cons
Group C sounds stressful & kind of pointless. Group D sounds like a lot of driving, but maybe worth it if you click with the other families. Group A sounds like a really good second option, and one kid always has to be the oldest, right?
There is also the option of choosing a few families from each group & starting up your own group that might better fit your needs.
Thank you everyone. I'm really appreciating the replies. We do have 4 great groups where we feel welcome, but none of them are the perfect fit. When DD2 was a tiny newborn I started my own play group. It had a good 1-2 year run, and I'm glad I did it, but I won't be doing that again with a newborn this fall. I had a rough time with PPD after DD2, and I think feeling isolated and unsupported was one of my biggest issues. I'm in a much better place this go round, and I'm pretty committed to doing all I can this go round to not be in that position again.
I'm pretty set on continuing with Group A. DD1 generally plays quite well with littler kids, and is currently the oldest in the group, but not by as much. She's comfortable with the group already. I think it'll be ok, but it definitely can't be her only social outlet.
I had high hopes for Group C being a great fit. I'm pretty frustrated with the early leave time. The one mom I really like has commented that she thinks it's a weird dynamic with the group too, so I half hope it'll get better... but I'm hesitant to depend on it.
I have given Group B a solid try, but I should likely do it again. This year when Group A ended up overlapping, I initially intended to attend both sometimes, but we quickly reverted to just Group A, where we all felt more comfortable. Now that DD1 is really really "school aged" we may fit in better. I might try to make an effort to attend a few mom's night outs or mom book clubs with that group in the next few months to make some more solid connections for myself. Besides, they meet on Fridays and I'd sort of prefer keep that day open from classes and such anyway.
I definitely agree that Group D is too much driving, especially with a newborn. I may do a neat field trip here or there, but I doubt I'll attend regularly.
SAHM to DD1 8/06 , DD2 8/09 , and DD3 9/12 married to 6/99. We , , , , and lots of and .
A and B sound like groups I would like. I'd probably do the days that are B and D since it's 2 groups and you like staying all day....like me. ;) I used to do this all the time with a bunch of moms...who all started homeschooling, and we are, well, NOT. :( but I am happy with where they go to school...just not fully happy that I feel like a sell-out.
lovin DH since 1/04, best mom for my 3 boys 10/04, 11/08, 11/10 one girlie (1/07), one 13 wk (10/13) and 5/15 just your average multigenerational living family!!

Even directors of big films start small.
This summer, "Iron Man" director Jon Favreau joins "The Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan and Sam Raimi, who directed the "Spider-Man" films, in making the transition from the world of independent films to studio blockbusters.
After Favreau made his acting debut in "Rudy," he wrote and starred with Vince Vaughn in "Swingers" and "Made" (directing the latter), and directed "Elf" and "Zathura." In an interview this week, Favreau was passionate and articulate in talking about his work, his film and actor Robert Downey Jr., who stars as the Marvel Comics character "Iron Man," which opens in theaters Friday.
Q.Congratulations. "Iron Man" was fun.
A. Two years of fun for me, two hours of fun for you.
Q.In 2001, "Made" was released in the summer opposite Tim Burton's big-budget "Planet of the Apes." Now you're on the other side of that equation. What did that experience teach you about this one?
A. That this is a whole different business model. "Iron Man" is going to make more money on the first weekend than all the openings I've ever had put together. The scary part is that can be the case and I can still have a failure on my hands.
Q.What does directing small films teach you about making big ones?
A. My generation didn't choose independent film because we were sick of Hollywood. It wasn't like Coppola or Scorsese, where you couldn't make your film in Hollywood. Our generation grew up watching Spielberg and Lucas, and we love big movies. We just don't like crappy movies.
Then about five years ago . . . they found you could do better mining the talent from small films and indoctrinating them to make bigger films than they could taking action directors and teaching them how to tell a story. Now, you don't have quite the freedom on big movies.
But in terms of comedy, storytelling and casting, I had more freedom in this than in any other movie I've made. We could change dialogue on the spot, and improvise. But as long as the action was good, my bosses were happy.
Q.The corollary to that is that comic-book films typically involve well-respected actors in roles that some people think don't require a lot of acting.
A. The actor defines the film. That's the face of your movie. Even though we don't need a star to justify the budget to the bean-counters, you do need actors who will lend a personality to the film. . . . A director like Chris Nolan casts like he would cast an independent film, (which gives him) an integrity that he is comfortable with and a way to . . . elevate (his film) to the quality of a smaller movie he would be doing.
Q.Robert Downey Jr. is a unique case, however. He had very public troubles with drugs and alcohol and was jailed. I talked to him a few years back for his comeback film "The Singing Detective," and he seemed shy and wounded. How does an actor with his baggage affect how your film is perceived?
A. The whole franchise is relying on this guy. It's not just about satisfying the insurance or bond company. The problem was convincing Marvel (Comics) that they should bet the farm on a dude that was probably 10 years older than they might have hoped to have hired, and whose name and reputation was bigger than "Iron Man." And would people be comfortable in bringing kids to a Downey movie? And would he be dependable?
(But it was) like when they cast Johnny Depp in "Pirates of the Caribbean." It just changed the whole film. It went from "Are they so desperate for ideas that they have to make a movie about a Disney ride?" to "This could be the role of his lifetime. This is a movie I'm going to line up to see."

Over a week ago, I stopped communication with bd cold turkey. Communication between us just deteriorates so quickly and we don't really have anything to discuss anyways because the baby isn't here yet, not due until January. So I just told him that I didn't feel like we needed to talk anymore until the baby was born and I didn't want to communicate anymore. He likes to play the game where he wants to keep me on the hook and tell me that we'll be together and he loves me and wants to do right but then turn around and disappear for days at a time, never be around, "accidentally" pocket dial me from his late nights out so I can hear him talking to girls. I am not interested in trying for any kind of relationship with him anymore and am perfectly happy leaving it as us being two people who are having a baby, nothing more.
Since I stopped talking to him, he has been harrassing me. On Friday night at midnight, he drove by my house apparently and sent me angry text messages because my kids' dad's car was in my driveway. My kids' dad and I had taken the kids to an event earlier that night and then he stayed to watch a movie with me, purely platonic, nothing going on. But bd sends me texts accusing me of sleeping with him and saying if I am sleeping with him he and his family will do whatever they have to do to fight for the baby. I didn't respond at all, but saved the messages.
Two nights later he tried to call me, also at midnight. I ignored it.
Last night, he popped up at my house at nearly 11pm with no warning. I'm home by myself with two little kids and I'm pregnant. I don't take well to people popping up on me with no warning late at night in the dark. He knocked numerous times and called my phone numerous times. It just made me nervous and uncomfortable in my own home. I didn't respond or answer, but I have had it.
Why must everything take place with him at god-awful hours of the night? Why does it all have to be done in darkness and when things are most vulnerable for me? If he truly had some legitimate business to discuss (regarding the baby) then why can't he make contact at a decent hour of the day under normal conditions? Nothing good happens at that time of night. Everyone knows that.
I sent him an email this morning to inform him to stop and that what he was doing was unwanted and harrassment. I told him he can contact me via email. That will protect me and keep records of what is said. He emails me back that he wants to see me today to discuss the baby and something about his family, if and how they want to be involved in the baby's life. But he is insisting that it has to be in person even though he knows I have no car and can't really meet him anywhere so I would basically be forced to have him in my home. I told him no, anything he needs to say can be said via email and there's no need for personal contact at this time. He's still insisting. I'm just uncomfortable having him in my house and I don't feel like I should be forced to do that. I also think he doesn't want to do it by email because he doesn't want there to be a written record of what he says seeing as how he is prone to throwing around threats and stuff.
So should I stand my ground on the only communicating via email thing? I feel like I should. My home is my safe space and I don't want to be forced to allow anyone in here that disrupts my one place of peace and calm. And he is not a peaceful, calming presence.

Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
Book – Big Little Lies, by the author of the bestseller The Husband's Secret, tells the story of the events leading up to a shocking death at an elementary school fundraiser. The tale revolves around a trio of women whose children are starting kindergarten at Pirriwee Public School in Australia. On orientation day we are introduced to Madeline, who is bold, humorous, and maternal. "Oh Calamity!" The husband who walked out on her and their newborn daughter years ago has moved to Pirriwee Penisula with a new wife, and their daughter will be attending kindergarten with Madeline's youngest child. Then we meet Jane, a young single mother whose vulnerability stimulates Madeline's protective instincts. Lastly Celeste is introduced. She is beautiful and wealthy but somehow disengaged from life.
The friendship of these three women is galvanized when a kindergarten incident fractures the school community. The story is infused with delightful humor about all the little absurdities of parental life and school society. In addition, the author is artful in her presentation of serious social issues such as domestic abuse. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Caroline Lee. Her lively Australian accent boosted the humor and helped me to visualize the characters and their life in an ocean-side locale. Big Little Lies is likely to be a movie as well, Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon have picked up the screen rights.
Keeping Mum (2005)
Movie-Keeping Mum is a dark English comedy that's sly humor tickles me every time. With a cast like Rowan Atkinson, Maggie Smith, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Patrick Swazye you kind of know things will go awry in a most amusing way. Keeping Mum takes place in a sleepy hamlet where Rowan Atkinson plays a hard-working and completely oblivious Vicar. More attuned with his flock vs. his family he is clueless that his daughter is sleeping around with everyone, his wife has been thinking lewd thoughts about her golf instructor and his son has been bullied at school. In comes Maggie Smith, the anti-Mary Poppins. Hilarity ensues as this group comes together as a family.
This is an R-rated movie with nudity and adult topics. For fans of Kinky Boots, Hysteria, Saving Grace, and The Full Monty.
Looking for Me by Beth Hoffman
Book – Teddi Overman owns an antique shop in Charleston, where she can fulfill her passion for restoring and selling antiques. She works with her two quirky employees, Albert and Inez. While her life is filled with her work, friends and caring for her Grammy Belle who lives nearby, she is haunted by her childhood and the family she left behind in rural Kentucky. She is estranged from her mother, who wanted her daughter to be a secretary and disapproves of her career and life choices. She also mourns the loss of her younger brother, Josh, who mysteriously disappeared years ago. As she tries to reconcile her present with her past, Teddi uncovers the secrets hidden beneath her family's pain and comes to terms with their choices. Charming, hopeful and filled with eccentric characters, this book is an engaging summer read by the author of Saving CeeCee Honeycutt.
Astonish Me by Maggie Shipstead
Book – Joan has been studying ballet since she was a young girl. Her best friend in high school, Jacob Bintz, is in love with her, but Joan is intent on following her dreams of a dance career. She travels to Paris and becomes entranced with a Russian dancer named Arslan Rusakov when he performs during a rehearsal. They have a brief, intense affair and Joan evaluates her life and ambitions. As the story moves ahead, Joan's future becomes entangled with her past in surprising ways. We get to know Joan's family and friends and witness the complicated way relationships evolve and shift during their lives. I enjoyed this story as I learned more about the demands of ballet, the choices that performers may face and the way that talent can emerge and impact lives.
Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline
Book – Orphan trains ran from the East Coast to the Midwest from 1854 to 1929. They carried orphan children who needed homes and were available for adoption. The children aboard the trains had few options and could easily be exploited in their new homes. Orphan Train tells two parallel stories: the current plight of foster child Molly Ayer and the life story of Vivian Daly, an elderly woman who once rode the Orphan Train. Their lives intersect when teenage Molly is assigned a community service project to help Vivian sort through the boxes stored in her attic. Molly has not known much unconditional love in her years in foster care, and as a friendship begins to blossom between the two woman, Molly is able to confront her current demons. In turn, Vivian is able to come to peace with her past and her secrets. This book illustrates and contrasts the situations and emotions that children without loving caretakers face, both in the past and the present. However, it also depicts the positive impact of people in the community who reach out with love and care in a troubled situation and, in doing so, can provide a bright and hopeful future.
Scandal (2012)
TV Show – If you want fast paced juicy escapism then you should watch the TV series Scandal. This is about dirty politics and politicians in Washington, D.C. and their greed for power. Sometimes reputations get tarnished and scandals arise. That's where Olivia Pope comes in. She is a professional "fixer" who makes problems go away before anyone knows they exist. Kerry Washington stars as Olivia who worked previously as the White House Communications Director for the current President of the United States and was instrumental in helping him get elected to the Oval Office. Her crisis management firm has a staff of intelligent devoted operatives, who like Olivia, are very good at keeping secrets, perhaps because they all have secrets of their own. These people devote their lives to managing crisis after crisis and they work very hard at trying to punish the bad guys and reward the deserving. The characters are well developed and the twists and turns in the storylines will keep you watching. Shonda Rhimes of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice is the creator of Scandal.
The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty
Book – Cecila Fitzpatrick's husband John-Paul has a secret. And it's a doozy. She finds a letter he has written "To be opened only in the event of my death." What she discovers shatters her orderly life in Sydney, Australia as a Tupperware sales rep, mother of three daughters and school volunteer. Meanwhile, Tess and her son Liam arrive in town. Tess has also received some shocking news and has fled to her hometown to figure out the next step in her life. She meets a man from her past and begins to question her own role in her marriage troubles. What lengths will we go to protect our family? How well do we ever know another person? As both women confront these issues, their lives head toward a cataclysmic conclusion. This book was a quick read with many humorous moments despite the gravity of the decisions the women face. Liane Moriarty also wrote What Alice Forgot.

In Search of a Headline.....and a match
I've been told that I'm physically fit, intelligent, caring, and would make a great match. As a consultant, I'm paid to be visionary for my clients, yet I can't envision my perfect match. I believe the description you give (for your match) reveals your own characteristics or ones you aspire to possess. So here it goes........ I/She values family, friends, and faith. Her interest are varied and include anything outdoors, fitness, traveling, and a new challenge she has not tried. My attraction for her is not just in the way she looks, but in the way she lives. She loves and has a passion for life because she is grateful and appreciates the little things. Her self awareness allows her to know who she is and what she wants. She is nonjudgemental nor assuming so she actively learns from everyone she meets and loves to laugh, have fun, and again - lives passionately. A woman who would receive and give support in pursuit of each others dreams. She would be fun, loving, active, appreciative, have a good sense of humor and self awareness, is open-minded, and thoughtful.

Remembering Sidney Lumet (1924-2011)
April 11, 2011
Prolific American film director Sidney Lumet died late last week at the age of 86. He was nominated for five Oscars and won an honorary award from the Academy in 2005. His first film, directed in 1957, was 12 Angry Men; his last, from 2007, was Before the Devil Knows Your Dead. Over five decades, The New Republic's film critic Stanley Kauffmann reviewed dozens of Lumet's films. Here, we present four of those reviews. Q&A, 1990 The Verdict, 1982 Dog Day Afternoon, 1975 Long Day's Journey Into Night, 1962
TNR Film Classic: Delmore Schwartz on 'The Seven Year Itch' (1955)
April 09, 2011
The film version of The Seven Year Itch, George Axelrod's Broadway hit, has carried over enough of the play's sophisticated brightness to indicate the reasons for the play's success: the perfect fulfillment of the well-known Broadway genre of gag, gag, punch-line, epigram, and paradox, crackling like machine-gun fire for three acts until everyone is exhausted, and everything but the next wisecrack is unreal. Certainly some very funny things get said, as when a vegetarian waitress in an offhand way presents the first serious argument for nudism: pacifism.
David Thomson on Films: Remembering Farley Granger
April 08, 2011
They are the two of the oddest men in an American movie of the early 1950s, and, somehow, their oddity is excused by the fact that they meet. Neither one on his own could have sustained a picture. I'm talking about Guy Haines and Bruno Anthony in Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train (1951). The title suggests an accidental meeting, but, once the bump has happened, we don't credit chance. Bruno is in charge from the start. You can't look back on the movie and think he wasn't tracking Guy.
David Thomson on Films: 'Sweet Smell of Success'
April 01, 2011
Nobody had seen or heard anything like the first half of Sweet Smell of Success in 1957. It wasn't just the way the picture went out onto the streets and into the bars of Manhattan, letting cameraman James Wong Howe get his best stuff at dawn and twilight. Film noir had made hay with darkness for ten years, but still, you didn't get a lot of real night in American pictures.
TNR Film Classic: 'Gone with the Wind' (1940)
April 01, 2011
I wish to report editorial pressure on me to review the film version of "Gone with the Wind," from which I have been shrinking ever since the first year of hot gossip over who was to play Clark Gable. The editors don't really care whether it is a good thing for me to see or what line I take on it. What they want is an office guinea pig; they want someone to go sit through that four hours of four million dollars, to see what the shooting's fer—as naturally no one as smart as an editor would subject himself to such a business without visual proof that it won't kill you.
TNR Film Classics: 'Fahrenheit 451' (1966)
March 26, 2011
There are some rather dumb—but in a way brilliant—gimmicks that have a strong, and it would almost seem a perennial, public appeal. Books or plays or movies based on them don't even have to be especially well done to be popular: readers and audiences respond to the gimmick. Sometimes this kind of trick idea is so primitive that it's particularly attractive to educated people—perhaps because they're puzzled by why they're drawn to it and so take it to be a much more complex idea than it is. Frankenstein is one of these fantastic, lucrative "ideas"; The Pawnbroker is almost one.
David Thomson on Films: 'Mildred Pierce'
March 25, 2011
You can see why HBO thought to re-make Mildred Pierce, especially if it had Kate Winslet committed to playing the title part. The James M. Cain novel (published in 1941) is attuned to our grim economy: It's the story of a single mother in Glendale in 1931 who has to take a job as a waitress and who then builds it into a flourishing, modest restaurant trade, based on the pies she bakes at home. As with so much of Cain, this is a story about money and business—I think he was more interested in those things than in the sex that dogged his reputation.
David Thomson on Films: Can You Watch?
March 19, 2011
We are looking down on a plain building, without distinction or appeal. Its one point of interest seems to be that rapid, rushing water surrounds it to the height of ten feet or so. Then, the story begins. On the current of this water, a sequence of empty automobiles reverse tidily round the corner of the building—it's very prettily done and somehow confirms the suspicion that drivers may be the problem in cars. A line of them, six or seven, complete the turn, without collision or dispute, and then reverse out of frame.
TNR Film Classic: 'The Man With the Golden Arm' (1956)
March 19, 2011
The first thing to say about The Man With the Golden Arm is that one ought to see it before and not after reading the novel by Nelson Algren on which it is based. The film is a pretty good picture show, as we used to say, but anyone who has read Nelson Algren's wonderfully poetic novel is likely to make invidious comparisons and be otherwise distracted, particularly when the film strives to narrow itself to a problem of drug addiction. Those episodes in which it is a problem film make it resemble The Lost Week-End and The Blackboard Jungle and they are interesting enough.
TNR Film Classic: 'Gentleman's Agreement' (1947)
March 11, 2011
Twice in a season, Hollywood has broken its self-protective silence on social questions to raise the issue of anti-Semitism, in many ways the nastiest of them all. Crossfire was a melodrama in which an instance of race hatred contributed to murder, and as the first film to challenge a basic taboo, it was a courageous piece of work. Gentleman's Agreement, however, goes much deeper into the subject to offer the anatomy of anti-Semitism in an entire social group. Darryl F. Zanuck's production of the Laura Z.

Question to all you Cincy folks who get the Enquirer. Was the special section in todays paper, or is tomorrow? I am asking because I may have a quote in the paper. If you recall, back a while ago, they had a survey on their site. One of the responses I sent, they called a week ago, and asked to use it in their paper. I am from Columbus, so am out of tune with the paper down there.
The quote was.."I used to change my Red's wristband everytime they lost. After the first week of this season, however, this got annoying."
Any help would be great.
Also..going down tomorrow. Best places to park near the stadium for under $10??

Developers of coal-gasification plant proposed for Rockport, Ind., awaiting EPA permit
INDIANAPOLIS - Developers of the $2.9 billion coal-gasification plant proposed for Rockport, Ind., are now waiting on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for final approval of their emissions permit.
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management issued its final draft of the permit and passed it on to the federal agency this week — a move that developers called a step closer to being built.
"This is another step, but it's a very significant step," said Bill Rosenberg, the plant's developer. "The game is shifting now from Indiana to Washington."
The permit allows Indiana Gasification, LLC, which is being funded by Leucadia National Corp., to emit just 100 tons of carbon dioxide per year — a fraction of what coal-burning power plants put into the atmosphere.
It also requires a pipeline to carry the carbon dioxide that is captured and turned into liquid to the Gulf of Mexico, where it will be used in oil production.
"It really says what we're going to do: We're going to take Illinois Basin coal, Ohio River water, oxygen from the air, and produce substitute natural gas and oil," Rosenberg said.
The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission has approved a 30-year contract for the plant to sell its synthetic natural gas to the Indiana Finance Authority at a fixed rate. That authority would then resell it to Indiana ratepayers.
And, now, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management has signed off on emissions permits, triggering a 45-day federal review on an environmental process that could be wrapped up by the end of the summer.
Meanwhile, developers are negotiating with the U.S. Department of Energy for about $2.5 billion in loan guarantees that would apply to the plant's construction as well as the $1 billion construction of the carbon dioxide pipeline. Rosenberg said he hopes to have a commitment by the end of 2012.
"This concept of treating carbon dioxide as a product rather than as an emission is important and one that we developed with great care," Rosenberg said. "You can think about this as a prototype plant where this could be replicated in other environments."
The permit application won the praise of John Thompson, the director of the fossil transition project for the Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit environmental group.
"The permit requires that each year over 5 million tons of carbon dioxide from the plant will be injected deep underground, isolated from the atmosphere, and used to produce additional oil from otherwise depleted domestic oil fields," he said.
"Projects like Rockport are an important step in moving fossil fuels toward near zero-carbon emissions."

I am using Emacs on a LINUX system that uses Portable Batch System (PBS) for controlling the use of resources. The PBS scripts require "#PBS -S /bin/..." as the first line in the script to declare the shell of the script to PBS. When I load the script into Emacs, there is no #!/bin/... to alert Emacs to which shell is being programmed. So, how can I get the shell-script-mode in Emacs to intepret #PBS -S /bin/bash to be a bash shell code?

Hi everyone. I need help with making the Fast Secure Contact Form meet my requirements. Basically as follows:
1.) Make it compatible for mobile use
2.) Make it so the message box can't expand horizontally.
Below are 2 images that illustrate the problem I am having.
As you can see above, on mobile devices, my form 'spills' into the border. I want to find some way to make it collapsible on mobile devices, even if it's some random workaround (like shrinking the table)
And above, for normal web usage, I don't want the message box to expand horizontally (it works vertically though). When expanding horizontally, it doesn't take the background color with it. Plus, I can expand it into the border, which I don't want.
If anyone can help me with this, I'd greatly appreciate it!

180 Watts is too much power for most people to use on a printed circuit board, if you are not skilled, you will destroy the board. I sometimes do printed circuit boards with this when I am too lazy to get out a 15 to 40 watt soldering iron (pencil type).You can solder wire and small metal pieces,, but use the proper type of solder/flux for the job. Hopefull you know enough to know that you do not apply solder to the tip of the gun, but instead to the heated object you want the solder to adhere to. If you are not experienced, check out an online video on how to use a soldering gun.Do not hold the trigger down longer than necessary, that does not help the soldering process and burns out the tips prematurly.You will have to replace the tip once in a while. If you are careless and inexperienced, perhaps the first time you use it. If so, that is not the fault of the tool, just lack of experience.In a pinch, you can make an emergency tip from copper wire the same diameter as the tips are, use a piece between 2-7/8 and 3 inches long, but real tips work better. I suggest having spares on hand, as you will need them.

This soldering iron is poorly engineered: it overpowers the tips to the point of making them glow red hot. The factory installed tip cracked upon cooling down after soldering only eight twisted wire joints.You can make it work by manually duty-cycling it to keep it from overheating the tip. I plan to get a speed control or some such to cut the voltage so I don't have to do this manually.I was disappointed to find that HF doesn't carry replacement tips! I should have read the reviews before buying this product.

Good Heat..... Cheap Tips #10 copper is better

from newport news va
About Me Professional
This gun heats very quickly and will crack the tips if you leave heat on it too long. I use it for work and I cant afford for it to be down so I made myown tips out of #10 solid copper wire this is the perfect diameter and the copper is extemely malibule so it does not bnreak no matter how long you hold heat to it.It also tins alot better
I'm happy with mine
By jbuck
from Norfolk, Ne
I did about 100 solder joints on a cars wiring harness with this and I was actually impressed with the speed it worked at. You don't want to do much preheat or anything like that because the tips will burn up bad but once you figure how much is too much it works out good.

Correct use is the key to tool lasting.
By DP
from Central Texas
When heating the tip touch it to the wires to be soldered and apply solder. It only needs to be hot enough to melt the solder. Hold against the work piece it will absorb some the heat keeping it from over heating and melting the soldering tips. Don't hold it until it glows or you will but tips. That's with any soldering gun.

Just know what you buy!
By Bigred
from Brighton CO.
Yes this is a decent gun if you know how to use it. The guy that says to heat it until it glows it wrong, thats too hot. Yes the tips are poor material and as they erode (quickly) they also contaminate the solder making it hard to solder and ugly finished welds. Since HF doesn't sell replacement tips they should offer acceptable replacement cross fit info. I've even used 10 gauge solid copper wire shaped to fit but keep in mind you need resistance at the tip to creat the heat or you'll burn up the gun. Best choice is to find a Weller tip that fits and fits correctly.

Suprisinly very good
By Marc
from NH
I bought two different soldering irons from two different well known home improvement stores and I returned BOTH of them. One burnt out and the other the cord kept falling out. And then I bought the Chicago one and I was very glad I did. I wasn't expecting much but this this worked awesome. Soldering pots on an electric guitar can require fast and more heat to ground out the guitar on the pots housing, and this thing worked like a champ. The tips are another subject. Best deal I've had in a while. Way ta go HFT and Chicago.:->

Tip Problem
By rkscott
You can make your own tips out of brass coat hangar wire then if you know some one who does heat and air get the to silver solder the tip clean the end real good flux it and put a coat of silver solder on it this takes a tinning better

One Game At A Time For The Blackhawks
by Paul on 05/13/13 at 02:51 PM ET
Comments (8)
from Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times,
''It's a new season. We're starting even and clean,'' coach Joel Quenneville said. ''I think we have to look at it one day at a time and one game at a time. You look at all the games this year, discounting the [7-1] game, every game was a close game and a tight game where anything could have happened.
''We were fortunate in the one game to tie it up late [on Kane's goal]. Probably the best game and the most exciting game we had all year was the one in Detroit ... which was an amazing game. But we expect that kind of pace.''
The playoff matchup against the rival Red Wings will bring plenty of emotion from both team's fans. And while the Hawks respect the firepower and history of the team that set the standard for excellence in the NHL, they still feel as the best team in hockey in the regular season that they control their own destiny.
''When we played Detroit and the teams in our division the intensity is right in place and the motivation's in place,'' Quenneville said, ''whether it's the tradition, the animosity, from the fans all the way to the players. It's a special history there. We want to make sure we take care of our own business. [Detroit is] a strong hockey team that plays with a purpose. We're going to have to be at our best. But let's welcome it and look forward to it.''

Your Opinion Of Detroit Against Chicago
by Paul on 05/13/13 at 12:08 PM ET
Comments (83)
The next round, against Chicago, may be a lot tougher. The top-seeded Blackhawks are the darlings of the 2013 season, they are rested, they are deep, they are experienced, and they are really good.
And these are still the Wings. Criticize them all you want, but count them out at your own risk.
That's from Mitch Albom of the Detroit Free Press where you can read more on last night's game but my question to you is, what kind of chance are you giving the Wings against the Chicago Blackhawks?

The Red Wings Were A Little Better Than The Ducks
by Paul on 05/13/13 at 07:52 AM ET
Comments (19)
from Helene Elliott of the LA Times,
What should have been a memory for the ages — a Game 7, a defining moment every NHL player craves — evolved into a dispirited 3-2 loss for the second-seeded Ducks, who were a step slower and a split-second behind the seventh-seeded Red Wings most of the night.
"I don't think anybody expected to come up short," Ducks winger Bobby Ryan said. "I think we were all coming to the rink tonight very confident in ourselves and very excited about where this could take us. It's a pretty low-morale group now, that's for sure.
Corey Perry knelt in the neutral zone for several seconds after the final buzzer, his face a mask of disbelief. Teemu Selanne, the certain Hall of Fame winger who will be 43 in July and might have played his final NHL game, didn't get off the bench in the final minute. Like his team, he had little left at the end.
Below, watch Anaheim players and Bruce Boudreau react to the game 7 loss...

Red Wings eliminate Ducks, head to Chicago
by George Malik on 05/13/13 at 12:56 AM ET
Comments (41)
Despite a third period scare-and-a-half, the Red Wings defeated the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 and will play the Chicago Blackhawks in the conference semifinals...I'll write more in a bit but you tell me how you feel about being Chicago's hamburger.
NBCSN will air the 2nd round--no FSD this time--and Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond say that the series will start on Wednesday. And it was pretty awesome to hear Kronwall and Zetterberg thank both Fox Sports Detroit and the fans who stayed up watching them. And Zetterberg readily admitted that he took a "stupid penalty," too.
Update: FTR:
The Red Wings came out incredibly strongly, perhaps remembering how the Ducks' start in Game 5 knocked them onto their heels all night long, and Henrik Zetterberg scored a slick goal (with Zetterberg and Datsyuk split up for this game) via hard work from Valtteri Filppula, Danny Cleary and Jakub Kindl, all of 1:49 in:

Paul's been doing yeoman's work and then some and the Chief captured the moment that I didn't see--perhaps thankfully, due to Fox Sports Detroit's broadcast of Friday's game--of the Ducks' version of "leadership," via Corey Perry spitting water on the ice while his BFF Ryan Getzlaf tried to challenge Henrik Zetterberg to who-the-f***-knows-what with Todd Bertuzzi, Brian Engblom and Larry Murphy's office between them...

The Malik Report is a destination for all things Red Wings-related. I offer biased, perhaps unprofessional-at-times and verbose coverage of my favorite team, their prospects and developmental affiliates. I've joined the Kukla's Korner family with five years of blogging under my belt, and I hope you'll find almost everything you need to follow your Red Wings at a place where all opinions are created equal and we're all friends, talking about hockey and the team we love to follow.
