In your opnion, which is best?
I'm leaning towards two year, but I keep seeing people on here that are more fond of the 3 year age gap.
All of my friends with kids have 2 year spacings, so I just kinda thought that was the norm.
I always intended to have a two year spacing. My brother and I are 22 months apart and I thought that was just great!
But I didn't get my first period back until DD1 was 20 months! There went that plan!
DD2 was born when her sister was 3 months shy of 3 years. It has been really great. Really. DD1 was big enough to walk and do some things on her own when the baby was born. She was excited and happy to share her 'milks'. She was able to understand 'not now, but in just a minute when baby naps'.
Now at 2 and almost 5 they are getting along really well. They'll play together or DD1 will read them both a story. They wrestle and tickle each other and are just generally sweet together. (with the expected sibling issues from time to time)
Every age spacing will have its ups and downs, but we've been really happy with our 33month spacing.
Mama to two girls: 5/06 and 3/09
My two are almost exactly 3 years apart. When I was pg with ds, dd was 2.5 and she could understand if I needed to rest or if I wasn't feeling well. At 3, she was able to understand that the baby needed to nurse or I needed to change him. She was already potty trained, so I only had one in diapers. She was falling asleep on her own and STTN so I only had one child to parent to sleep and only one child's night wakings to deal with. And she was already weaned, so I didn't have to tandem nurse. Now that ds is 15 months and dd is nearly 4.5, they get along really well and I see that things will get better and better as he gets tougher and more active. One of the difficulties of this spacing is that 3 years old can really be a challenging age for kids. My dd is spirited and age 3 was definitely difficult, so dealing with her behavior issues and a newborn was not the easiest. I had a lot of people tell me if she had been 4 things would have been SO much easier. Then I had others say if she had only been 2, her behavior would have been easier to deal with, but then you would likely have all the other things: diapers, nursing, night wakings, etc.
I'm pg now with #3... a big oops... and my youngest 2 will only be 22 months apart. I'm in the throws of m/s and my 15 month old doesn't understand. He wants to nurse all the time and it's so painful. His night wakings are killing me. This is tough and not what I would have chosen. I'm having feelings of guilt about what it's going to do to him- force him out of the baby role before he's ready. Sigh...
So, as the pp said, every age spacing has it's pros and cons. I think, in the end, for the kids either one is great. My advice would be to focus on how the spacing will affect how you parent your kiddos and decide what makes the most sense for you.

Everyone is different and I 100% believe there is NO right age for everyone. It's a very personal choice and depends on many factors.
My 1st and 2nd are 3 1/2 yrs apart and my 2nd and 3rd are 2 1/2 yrs apart. I want to wait until my 3rd is 3 before I get pregnant again.
For me personally, I like the bigger age gap because I feel it gives me more time to baby my baby. I am not rushing my two year old to grow up because of his sibling (he still breastfeeds, climbs in bed with me in the morning, etc.) but I miss out on time with him because I need to take care of my 5 month old. I know I'm not as patient with him as I would be if he were the baby and I didn't have another person to take care of. These are my shortcomings and I'm not saying everyone is this way, but it's just been a very rough transition for me and I have guilt about it.
I know 2 yrs apart is the norm but I don't really know why. Two is a very challenging age. I think I'd almost prefer closer than two years rather than exactly two years.... My Mom had all of us 5 1/2 years apart. I know that's a huge gap and it's definitely bigger than I want for my kids, but I will say that she had it easy in a lot of ways! All of us were totally ready and excited for the next baby, we were old enough to go potty on our own, grab a snack if we were hungry and entertain ourselves for a little while so she could rest and tend to the baby. We grew up playing really well together and now as adults, we're still close! We're all vacationing together at the end of the month. My older sister and I were pregnant together last year and it was so special.
I agree with PP that there are pros and cons to every gap. I think honestly facing how the age gap will affect everyone in the family is the best way to decide.
Good luck to you mama!!

My three kids are alll roughly two years apart. it kept me very busy when they were little but it worked well. Our whole life revolved around babies and toddlers for a few years and it was busy but really fun too. As my kids got older, being close in age made playing together easier. They have always been very close. Now my youngest is 11 and my oldest is almost 15 and the gap is pretty wide between those two developmentally but they still have things they love to do together.
My dh came from a family where the 4 kids were all 3-4 years apart. MIL says it was "so much easier" on her than what she saw happening for me and she liked having them all at distinct stages as they grew up. dh said it always felt like there was never anyone to play with even in a family with 4 kids because no one liked to play or do the same things at the same time. As adults they do not have close relationships. They care about each other but have very little contact or interest in one another's lives. My cousins who grew up in a family with 4 kids born in 6 years are all extremely close and have very supportive friendly relationships as adults. That is something we hope for for our kids.
I should add that my ds weaned at 15 months. My first dd continued to nurse throughout my pregnancy with her sister and then weaned 2 years later. Youngest dd nursed until she was 4.
I prefer more space (though my almost 5 year space was out of necessity) because of my parenting style. I don't buy the close-ness arguement of the smaller age gap really though. I think personality, environment, etc. have more to do with how adult relationships turn out. My brother and I are 13 months apart and do not have a close relationship, but my sister and I are 4 1/2 years apart and we are fairly close.

But that could be for a number of reasons. It would probably still be this way regardless of age difference. I'm not just going off of my family's outcome of a big age gap and close relationships. I know a lot of people and I've asked around and found all sorts of answers. There are so many things that determine how close siblings will be as adults and age gaps often have very little to do with it. I think the family environment in general and how much importance is placed on being together, etc. can effect closeness as much as, if not more than, how many years are between the kids.

100% agree! My husband and his siblings all care a great deal for each other and are close but his brothers that are 22 months apart aren't particularly close and certainly don't have a closer bond that his brothers who are 3 1/2 years apart. That's why I think what's best for everyone in the family is the best answer to the age gap question.

I don't think I could deal with having newborn right now (DD is 25 months). DD is still really needy, but I can see that transition. She's starting to want to do more things herself, daddy can read her to sleep rather than her nursing, stuff like that. I also wanted to make sure to nurse until DD was 2 and pregnancy can dry up your milk. I can see where smaller gaps could be fun for friends, but I can also see how it would be REALLY hectic. My friend's DD is best friends with mine and they're 20 months apart. I know it would be different with siblings, but when I watch the two of them I feel DEAD at the end of the day. Constant arguing over toys and running like crazy and when one starts screaming, the other one does too. DD is also very much in a mimicking age, so when friend's DD does something that an almost 4 year old can handle like climbing on a railing or something, it's REALLY hard to convince DD that she can't do it too because she'll fall.

I've thought about this a lot too. I only have my DD so no experience yet. I think there are a lot of positive aspects of a 3 year gap and if I was in my early 20's I'd probably aim for that. But given my age (in my early 30s) and my desire for 2 or 3 more kids, I'm leaning towards a 2 year gap. And I may not conceive as easily this time, so perhaps the gap will be larger than 2 years.
Mom to 2 Daughters born in 2010 & 2012, and someone new Nov 2015
I'm new around here, but had to reply since I have experience with both2 and 3 year spacings. My oldest son and his brother are only 23 months apart. It was supposed to be exactly two years but #2 arrived 4 weeks early. We didn't really plan to have our kids quite that close and I didn't realize at the time how needy a two year old still is. But, due to fertility issues we never prevented a pregnancy well you get what you get. I have to admit that the first two years were tough. I had two in diapers, and my 2 year old just couldn't understand that I needed to breaks to take care of the baby. Now my boys are the best of friends and they really look out for each other. They are able to do some activities together and yet are still far enough apart that they have their own separate friends etc... I also didn't have to drag #2 to a bunch of #1's activities or school because neither were really old enough to participate. After the first 18 months or so they played with many of the same toys, and read the same books and I could engage both of them at their own level simultaneously. We moved through things as a group making it easy on everyone. I also think that it helps that #1 doesn't really remember NOT having a brother. I do however worry about #2 being constantly compared to his brother as they get older.
DD was born when #2 was 3years and 3months. Again, this wasn't our plan, but just the way it turned out. The immediate newborn/ infant period was so much easier. Partially because my boys could entertain each other/themselves while I took care of the baby, but also because they understood that DD needed me. DD is now 17 months and I find it difficult to include her in the games/books/toys that my boys are playing with. She doesn't have the atttention span to read books with us and is unable to build legos and such. Unfortunatley that has led me to group my boys activities together frequently and then play with my DD separately. In addition, I have to drag her to school/sports activities, practices and games. It's hard for her and hard for me. I constantly feel like somebody is not getting the attention they need. Much of that is just part of mothering 3 kids I'm sure, but I can't help to think that it would be easier if DD was a bit bigger and able to participate in more of the activities with us.
I agree with the PP that adult sibling relationships have more to do with the environment and individual personalities than with the spacing. Case in point, my DH has 3 younger sisters all roughly two years apart and he is by far closer to the youngest who is six years younger than him. On the other hand, his oldest sister is only 18 months younger and you couldn't find two people who are more different if you tried. They rarely talk to each other.
In my experience, there are pros and cons to both and I think that at different stages one can be easier than the other. Where we are right now (ages 6, 4 and 1), I prefer the two year spacing. A year ago, I preferred the three year gap. Who knows how the dynamics will change over the years and if it will really make a difference in the long run. Every child and every family is beautifully unique. There is no one size fits all approach and what works for one family my not work at all for another and that is what makes life intersting.

OP here.
First, I want to say that I appreciate everyone's thoughtful responses. It has given me a lot to think about.
For the time being, I think we've decided to go with a 3 year gap.
2 years was just always "the plan." Everyone I know with kids, has a 2 year age gap. ...but we all know how laughable our plans can be sometimes. :) I thought I wanted 4 kids, and I wanted to have them be born before I hit 35 to lower the risk of downs syndrome.(in comes the 2 year spacing) Now I'm not so sure that I can handle 4 kids and still be the kind of mom/person that I want to be. So now I'm thinking 2...possibly 3.....with the three year age gap. My sister and I are 3 years apart, so in that sense it does feel kind of normal to me. For me, the clincher was reading about how a 3 year gap is physically healthy for mom and baby and lowers the risk of all kinds of complications/prematurity/etc.. I know there are plenty that have have had kids closer than 3 years apart and were just fine, but I'm just saying, that's what the studies show, and it makes sense. Especially for me, right now, pregnancy and not sleeping through the night for a year kinda ransacked me. My iron, vit. D, adrenal and thyroid function are all low. ...and I still have a 3 finger diastasis recti.
On another note, I feel like my life is just starting to see some balance as I'm getting more into painting and selling my work. I was sick the 1st 14 weeks of my pregnancy, so with that, plus a toddler, my painting (and life outside mothering) would probably get pushed way way aside.
Also, my husband's job might be changing and we might be moving this summer. I'd rather not move while pregnant again.
Those are just some reasons. Overall, we feel at peace about it. ...and maybe will reevaluate at 2.5 year gap after summer is over.
I realize I'm a bit late, but I'd like to chime in with an advantage to a 2 or 3 year gap.. that is, no one talks about the non-advantage to a 2.5 year gap . DS was 29.5 months when DD arrived. Although things are going really well with us (now 33 mo & 3.5 mo), I often wished (especially in the early weeks) that DS had been a bit younger OR older. At 2, he was crazy and independent, but not quite to the degree that he is now. I swear he is a faster runner than I am (& I'm a runner!). Keeping up with him & a newborn would have been much easier around 2. He'll be 3 in August, & we're now pretty close to full toilet independence. Potty learning with DS while taking care of DD (especially since I use EC with DD) means I've been like since the moment she was born. I pretty much live running with one child (or both) to the bathroom! If I were pregnant now & DD arriving as he turns 3, my newborn experience with her would be quite different. DS is calming down (um, sort of, haha) and speaking well and sleeping better and all sorts of things. He is able to understand when mom just really needs a minute. For the next baby we have decided we're either going to start trying right as DD turns 1 or wait until she is nearly 3. I can handle 2 infants, but the one infant and one toddler in explosive transition has been bonkers! The one advantage I can say about the 2.5 year gap was that DS was really able to grasp pregnancy, enjoy the kicking of DD in my belly, anticipate her arrival, etc..
As for the closeness of siblings, ehhhhh. I don't know how much age has to do with it. My siblings and I are 28, 24, 22(me), & 17. My oldest brother is pretty much AWOL with all of us, my 24 y/o brother is relatively close with both me AND my little sister, and my little sister (4.5 years from me) and I are extremely close. I will say she drove me nuts as a child but by the time she was 10 she was the apple of my eye . My brother has always been very good to me (2.5 years from me) and I see a similar relationship forming between DS & DD (as children, anyway).

My kids are all 4-4.5 years apart and I have liked this spacing although I can see how it really is quite far apart as the kids get into school. My oldest is in grade 4 and my middle one is in preschool. They are very excited about next year though since my oldest may get to be the big buddie for his little brother when he starts kindergarten. They enjoy playing together and have a lot of fun. Both of them are thrilled about their youngest brother. I think a 3 year spacing would be really nice too. I was never ready to be pregnant again until my kids hit about age 3 so that is what we did. My sister and I are 3.5 years apart and have always been very close. I don't think kids spaced further apart means they won't be close. My kids have lots of fun and my youngest at 13 months are already starting to join in. Of course, we are going to be paying for university forever when the time comes, lol.

I'm due in a few weeks with baby number two - DD will be three years, three months when he's born.
Obviously I don't know how it'll turn out with a baby, but I'm DEFINITELY glad this pregnancy didn't happen earlier. I was way, way sicker this go-round than last time; pretty much bedridden for a good six weeks or so, and only semi-functional for the rest of the pregnancy. (Just starting to feel a bit more human now, at 37 weeks - except I just caught a wicked cold. Grrr.) If DD had been constantly nursing or needier, it would have been so much harder.
As it is, during this pregnancy she's down to one nursing session (in the evening) - brief and just one side, so despite the pain of BFing with pregnancy hormones, it's not too onerous - she's potty-trained during the day and dry 9 out of 10 nights as well - she sleeps in her own bed in our room, and comes into bed with us in the morning (although we're still working out the kinks there, I admit) - and she's become way, WAY better at entertaining herself.
She's still not exactly Miss Super Adult von Responsible, or able to make me a cup of raspberry leaf tea - but hey! It's pretty good. And she's incredibly excited about the baby - watches birth videos with me, talks about the tiny clothes I'm sewing/knitting, asks semi-"deep" questions like "Does the baby got skin?" and "What's the baby's name in you tummy?" and "Does the baby wear clothes when he comes out?"... it's pretty awesome! Not sure if we'll have her there for the birth or not, but she's only juuuuusssst able to sleep without us (sleeping in our bed with Gran - we did a trial run last week when DH and I went away for a night)... a few months ago she wouldn't have coped. So DH can stay with me and the new baby at the birthing centre for two nights - yay!
Next time, I might be tempted to go for even a slightly longer age gap. We would have this time, but were planning around a holiday this December and various other random factors! Boys are supposed to develop/mature slightly later than girls on average, and I'd rather have Baby 2 be at least as "with it" as DD currently is when Baby 3 comes along - so! But we'll see. Life sometimes has other plans, and all that.
Initially I wanted to have all my kids spaced close together, for the "closeness" reason PPs mentioned, but I'm no longer worried about that. I have sisters very close in age to me, and sisters miles apart - and I'm currently closest to the one who's 9 years younger than me! It evens out in the long run. But mostly, I went for a longer spacing because:
-I didn't feel I could AP the way I wanted to with a smaller spacing, without going totally insane
-DD's birth was traumatic and I needed a lot of time to process it and get up the courage to do it again
-I wanted DD to reach a certain level of independence before throwing another helpless human into the mix
-I read a bunch of stuff about nutrition, and wanted to give my body time to properly recover from childbirth and pregnancy, and build up nutrient stores for the next pregnancy
In other words, I pretty much felt the longer spacing was plain ol' necessary for my mental and physical health in the short term, and let the chips fall where they may in terms of sibling dynamics - KWIM?
If decomposition persists please see your necromancer.
Interesting thread. Most people I know IRL have a two year spread. I've always assumed the larger age gap on MDC was nursing related.
Mine are two years and five days apart and I love this gap. It was definitely challenging in the beginning and I kind of feel like my second child's (DS) early days are a total blur. But I love how close my kids are- they have so much fun playing together. DD really didn't experience any jealousy when DS was born and it was so easy to be home with the two of them when DS was an infant- I wasn't trekking out to preschool drop-off and pick-up, I didn't feel the need to have my older child in a bunch of classes/activities, which I liked b/c I'm not someone who enjoys a lot of running around with a newborn. Little things like not having to worry about the baby choking on small toys (that kids 3+ often have) were nice. I can read them a lot of the same books, they like similar activities. If we go for a third it will be about a 3 year difference, and I almost wish I could turn back time for another two year gap!

For analyzing the CMS collector of Oracle JVMs the posts by Jon Masamitsu about the Phases of CMS and its PrintGCDetails Output are very useful. I'd also recommend to look at the Java HotSpot Garbage Collection documentation, but I've not found it very comprehensive in the past and not as easy to use as our IBM Java Diagnostics Guide.
Also be aware that some of the behavior you're seeing in verbose gc output might be because of the characteristics of the underlying platform. I've seen JVMs with large amounts of threads take a long time to be stopped by the collector on Solaris on Niagara boxes, so don't assume different behavior between platforms is necessarily a defect in the GC itself.

Q: Your descriptions of L.A. in the Delaware novels are great. How do you know the city so well?
A: I've lived in L.A. since 1959 and have always been fascinated by the city's quirks. The huge disparities between the haves and the have nots, combined with the influence of the film business, creates a rather interesting environment when it comes to crime.

Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda, the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Django and Schultz's search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie, proprietor of an infamous plantation. Exploring the compound on false pretense, Django and Schultz rouse the suspicion of Stephen, Candie's trusted house slave.

In an incident, Rishi and his pals end up in a life threatening situation when they collectively help a friend get married to the love of his life, inspite of their parents opposing it. This situation brings out a different facet of the friendly and happy-go-lucky Rishi — one who will benevolently die for the one he loves, but the one who can also kill for the lack of it.

Senators sponsoring the bill said that removing such references as "retardation" would help break down exclusionary barriers for New Jerseyans with intellectual or other developmental disabilities.
"Quite simply, words matter," Senate President Stephen M Sweeney (D-Gloucester) said. His daughter, Lauren, has Down syndrome. "For far too long, the words used to describe individuals with developmental disabilities have served only to marginalize these residents,'' Sweeney said. "The reality is that persons with disabilities contribute greatly to our society. Our laws, at the least, must recognize that."The measure (S-1982) would delete all references to the terms "mental retardation," "mentally retarded," "idiot," and "feeble-minded" in statutes and regulations and replace them with the term "intellectual disability."
The bill also would update state law which deals with institutions and agencies – to replace the terms "mentally retarded" and "mental retardation" with the broader terms "developmentally disabled" and "developmental disability" to reflect the Division of Developmental Disabilities' services for persons with developmental disabilities, not just persons with intellectual disabilities.
"Schoolyard pejoratives have no place in our law books," Sen. Joseph Vitale (D-Middlesex), the health committee's vice-chair, said. "Individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities must be recognized first and foremost as people - their individual disability should not be what defines them."
The bill was unanimous approved by the committee and is poised for a vote in the full Senate.

Originally written on Spector Blog | Last updated 6/27/11
The Vancouver Canucks made their second player re-signing on Monday, inking pesky checking center Maxim Lapierre to a two-year, $2 million contract. Lapierre,26, was eligible for restricted free agent status on July 1st. His new deal is a slight raise above the $900K he was earning on his previous deal, though he also gets an extra year. In 78 games split between the Canucks, Anaheim Ducks and Montreal Canadiens this season, Lapierre had 6 goals and 12 points with a plus-minus of -14 with 80 PIMs, but it was his ability as an agitating checker which made him invaluable to the Canucks late in the season and into the playoffs.

Village Lamp ShopRead MoreThe sunny yellow clapboards of a 135-year-old farmhouse announce the bright wares of the Village Lamp Shop, a family enterprise that has sold and repaired lighting elements since the days of the oil lamp. The Beuthien family sparked their business in the dawn of the 20th century, lighting candles and lamps for the observation of religious rituals. Now in its third generation, the lampsmiths specialize in filling homes with mid-century, retro, and antique fixtures restored to their original brilliance, as well as custom fabrication of everything from base to wavelength. Their handiness manifests in a line of cylinder lamps made on-site with '50s-inspired prints. The family's appreciation for kitsch and wry sense of humor comes to light through the store's mascot, Lou, a stereotypical 1950's partier who displays his spirit by crowning himself in a lampshade and singing Buddy Holly tunes off-key.139 Romeo RdRochester, MI US

Vehicle inspections aren't needed to ensure clean air for Shelby County, plan says
Even though emissions from cars and trucks are likely to increase, the shutdown of Memphis' vehicle-inspection program won't add enough pollution to the air to violate federal smog rules, according to a plan proposed by Shelby County officials.
The county is seeking public comments on an amended air-quality plan that reflects the demise last year of a program that annually tested the emissions of vehicles registered to Memphis residents. In halting the program, city officials said it was unfair that Memphians alone bore the cost and inconvenience of a process that benefited the entire county.
The inspections had reduced emissions of volatile organic compounds by an estimated 300 tons annually, according to the Health Department. VOCs, as they are known, react in the presence of sunlight to form ozone, a lung-scorching component of smog.
Despite the loss of the program — and the resulting increase in vehicle pollution — Shelby County still will be able to comply with federal regulations because industrial emissions of VOCs have fallen by some 311 tons, or more than 10 percent, in recent years, county officials say.
The largest reduction came with the 2011 shutdown of Cleo Inc.'s gift-wrap-manufacturing plant near Lamar and Winchester. That plant had been releasing 254.5 tons of VOCs annually, according to Health Department figures.
"We believe the 2011 closure of the Cleo manufacturing plant reduced air pollution enough to prevent the need to continue tailpipe testing at the Memphis vehicle inspection stations," County Mayor Mark Luttrell said in a prepared statement.
To avoid sanctions from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the county had to identify equivalent pollution cuts to compensate for the shuttering of the vehicle-inspection program. The sanctions could have included the loss of federal highway funds and restrictive pollution-control requirements on new industry.
Memphis officials say they have no regrets about dropping the program.
"I think it's more fair for the citizens of Memphis the way it is now," said City Council member Jim Strickland, who co-sponsored the resolution to halt funding for the $2.7 million-a-year program.
The amended State Implementation Plan proposed by the county now goes to the public for comments. Copies of the plan can be viewed during normal business hours at the Health Department offices at 814 Jefferson and at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library. The plan also can be viewed online at sites that include midsouthcleanair.org.
After comments are reviewed, a final amended plan will be sent to the Tennessee Air Pollution Control Board, and, if it is approved there, onto the EPA for a final decision.

2013 Golden Globe nominees revealed
The nominations for the 70th annual Golden Globe awards are being announced in Los Angeles. The Golden Globe awards are voted for by members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
SAG Nomination Analysis – What Does It All Mean?
The SAG bells rang today but they rang for many surprising and jaw-dropping exclusions. As going on record stating this is the most competitive Oscar race I've covered in years. Not one category seems assured with their lineups and we got many curveballs thrown at us this morning.
In Best Supporting Actress, Amy Adams was left off for performance in The Master, a turn many of cited wasn't in the same league as co-stars Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Sally Field in Lincoln, Anne Hathaway in Les Miserables, and Helen Hunt in The Sessions, all made their appearances as expected. With Maggie Smith announcing she wasn't going to be campaigning, she still managed to pull in four nominations for herself including her performance in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Nicole Kidman jumped back into the race for a film that was pulverized by critics. While her role in The Paperboy is quite extraordinary, the film that surrounds her doesn't do any favors. Older members of the Academy might find it difficult to get passed some of the more controversial scenes. Also missing big here was Ann Dowd from Compliance, something that really needed a boost from the acting branch. Many pundits have speculated on the possibility of Samantha Barks finding wiggle room into the race along side co-star Hathaway for Les Miserables. That notion may have just been put to bed.
Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master took the largest hit of the day.

Hollywoodnews.com: The Oscar race has cleared up over the past few days, with SAG and the BFCA announcing nominations for their respective awards programs (both considered dependable precursors for the Academy Awards). So while SAG threw more than a few curveballs our way in the various categories (um, Nicole Kidman?), there seem to be at least three things we can point to and say, "Yes, we know this to be true about the Oscar race."
Until the next group announces and blows these three theories to smithereens.
What, then, do we think we have learned?
1. We have four legitimate frontrunners for Best Picture
Four movies earned both BFCA nominations for Best Film and SAG nominations for Outstanding Cast (the equivalent of Best Film). They are "Argo," "Lincoln," "Les Miserables" and "Silver Linings Playbook." I'm comfortable saying that all four of those will earn Best Picture Oscar nods.
Now, which films will join them? More specifically, how many more films will join them? Oscar still remains fluid in terms of the number of slots it wants to fill in Best Picture. If I had to guess which other films will get into the Oscar race, I'd put money down on "Zero Dark Thirty," "Life of Pi" and "Django Unchained." After that, it becomes a question of how many movies the Academy wants to honor. "Beasts of the Southern Wild" could get in, as could "The Master" or "The Impossible." Those last few slots are anyone's game at the moment.
2. There are wildcards at play in the acting categories
Several names we expect to see: Denzel Washington for "Flight;" Daniel Day-Lewis for "Lincoln;" Jennifer Lawrence for "Silver Linings Playbook;" and Anne Hathaway for "Les Miserables." Then there are the names that have surprised us at both SAG and the Critics' Choice. Will they hold on to this momentum and earn Oscar nods?
Here are the names that somewhat shocked me: Ann Dowd. Javier Bardem (in both groups). Naoimi Watts (in both groups), who is VERY deserving for "The Impossible," but I wasn't sure enough voters had seen the film. Matthew McConaughey. Nicole Kidman! Almost all are deserving of Oscar love, yet some are going to have to be left out when the Academy nominates. Who will get in? We shall see.
3. Some films are dying. Others are dead.
"Cloud Atlas" is a stunning piece of filmmaking. It does not appear to be an […]

"Lincoln" earns record-setting 13 noms for Critics' Choice Movie Awards – OSCARS
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: Leave it to "Lincoln" to make history.
Steven Spielberg's sturdy biopic of our nation's 16th president during a crucial stretch of his final term earned a record-setting 13 nominations today from the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) as the group prepares for the 18th annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards.
"Lincoln," which beat out previous record holder "Black Swan," garnered nods for Best Picture, Best Actor for Daniel Day-Lewis, Best Supporting Actor for Tommy Lee Jones, Best Supporting Actress for Sally Field, Best Acting Ensemble, Best Director for Steven Spielberg, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Best Score.
The winners will be announced live at the Critics' Choice Movie Awards ceremony on Thursday, January 10, 2013 from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif. The show will broadcast live on The CW Network at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.
Following closely behind Spielberg's "Lincoln" is Tom Hooper's "Les Misérables," which received 11 nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor for Hugh Jackman, Best Supporting Actress for Anne Hathaway, Best Acting Ensemble, Best Director for Tom Hooper, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Best Song for "Suddenly."

'Les Miserables' is what OSCARS have been waiting for!
In what seems like an eternity, Tom Hooper'slong-awaited "Les Miserables" starring Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, and Anne Hathaway has finally been screened and finished. Director Hooper came out to introduce his film at the Alice Tully Theater at Lincoln Center on Friday, November 23, 2012 and explained that he had just finished the picture at 2 a.m. the evening before. The wait was well worth it. Les Miserables is not only stunningly powerful, and beautifully crafted, it's the best stage musical adaptation since Rob Marshall's Chicago (2002). Incredibly moving and featuring some of the most powerful musical numbers ever constructed, Tom Hooper tops his previous filmThe King's Speech (2010) with artistry and passion.
The film tells the story of Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), a paroled prisoner in the 1800s that over the course of decades, attempts to find redemption while a police inspector Javert (Russell Crowe) pursues him relentlessly.
What astonishes me is how emotionally invested I became with the characters. I've never witnessed the stage musical on Broadway so this is my first outing with the musical. Hooper brings focus to each player and ensures they are an integral part of the story and film. Jean Valjean is our hero, placed firmly front and center, attached to the screen and centered cinematically in the medium for all the audience to invest. Jackman has never been better, delivering his most devoted and tender turn of his career. His opening number "What Have I Done?" and near closing "Bring Him Home" are his shining moments showcasing a vocal master class and a sensational acting piece that will put to rest any doubts about how talented he really is. It's unfortunate that despite his career-topping work, the Best Actor race is incredibly competitive and even more stacked. It's not a sure-thing for him to be named among the nominees but a strong campaign with a constant reminder of his preparation for the role, losing 30 pounds, vocal training, etc. could push him over.

"Skyfall" topped the box office in its fifth weekend
The decision by Warner Bros. to move The Gangster Squad (trailer) to January, 2013 and Universal's choice to move Les Miserables from next weekend to Christmas day should have caused a giant game of musical chairs. It didn't, and now we have the second December weekend in a row (with one more to come) with just a single new release). Meanwhile the last two weekends of the year are going to be jam-packed with major films (Jack Reacher, This Is Forty, DJango Unchained, The Guilt Trip, etc.), all of which could have *easily* topped the box office and/or dominated the competition had they opened this weekend or last weekend. But weekends that are barren of new releases save for a Gerald Butler vehicle tend to be very boring box office weekends indeed.
But this weekend saw but a single half-hearted new release, a Gerald Butler rom-com that once again proves that Butler is only a movie star when he has a bigger co-star beside him. And while Jessica Biel may be a better actress than the mainstream material she gets offered would attest, she ain't Katherine Heigl or Jennifer Anniston (or Jamie Foxx for that matter). Play For Keeps debuted with $6 million this weekend. The film earned a B+ from Cinemascore while playing 57% female and 74% over 25 years old. Forgive me if no one cares, save to feel bad for the careers of Uma Thurman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Judy Greer as they are forced to play desperate soccer moms who just can't resist Mr. Butler. 300 was a long time ago, and it's tough to be a movie star when your break-out role renders you unrecognizable. He'll continue to work because the industry still thinks the man who killed Joel Schumacher's Phantom of the Opera (he can't sing, he really can't sing) is a next wave movie star. But I think it's time to call time-of-death on Butler's alleged movie stardom.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," the first of a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien.
The three films tell a continuous story set in Middle-earth 60 years before "The Lord of the Rings," which Jackson and his filmmaking team brought to the big screen in the blockbuster trilogy that culminated with the Oscar®-winning "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King."
The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome Dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the Wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of 13 Dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild, through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins, Orcs and deadly Wargs, as well as a mysterious and sinister figure known only as the Necromancer.
Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the Goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever…Gollum.
Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of ingenuity and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities…A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.
Ian McKellen returns as Gandalf the Grey, the character he played in "The Lord of the Rings" Trilogy, with Martin Freeman in the central role of Bilbo Baggins, and Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield. Also reprising their roles from "The Lord of the Rings" in "The Hobbit" Trilogy are: Cate Blanchett as Galadriel; Ian Holm as Old Bilbo; Christopher Lee as Saruman; Hugo Weaving as Elrond; Elijah Wood as Frodo; and Andy Serkis as Gollum. The international ensemble cast of the Trilogy also includes James Nesbitt, Ken Stott, Sylvester McCoy, Barry Humphries, Aidan Turner, Dean O'Gorman, Graham McTavish, Adam Brown, Peter Hambleton, John Callen, Mark Hadlow, Jed Brophy, William Kircher, Stephen Hunter, Lee Pace, Benedict Cumberbatch, Manu Bennett and Conan Stevens.
The screenplay for "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" is by Fran Walsh & Philippa Boyens & Peter Jackson & Guillermo del Toro, based on the novel by J.R.R. […]

Jessica Wright, nominated to lead DOD personnel and readiness, spent 35 years in the National Guard.
The Senate's deal to avoid filibusters on nominations may or may not hold, but the White House continues to fill up the pipeline with new appointees.
President Barack Obama on July 19 announced eight more individuals that he intends to nominate to agency or diplomatic posts. Among them are Scott S. Dahl, whom Obama tapped to be the Labor Department's inspector general, and Jessica Garfola Wright, who would become the Defense Department's under secretary for personnel and readiness.
Wright, who spend 35 years in the National Guard and retired as a major general, has been filling the under secretary position in an acting capacity since Jan. 1. Dahl is currently the IG for the Smithsonian Institution. His nomination would fill an important major-agency IG vacancy, but also creates yet another IG opening for the administration to address.

In a league in which winning is all that matters, the Jaguars (2-13) realize they haven't done enough to prevent massive upheaval under new owner Shad Khan. So as players prepare for Sunday's season finale at Tennessee (5-10), they also are bracing for what potentially lies ahead. Khan has been mum recently about pending decisions. He said last month he didn't want to make any ''knee-jerk reactions,'' but that was before the season became the worst in franchise history. Jacksonville has lost 11 of its past 12 games, including four in a row. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL
