Product Description
Too Late Blues was the second feature film directed by legendary director John Cassavetes (A Woman Under the Influence). After his pioneering independent film Shadows, Cassavetes made his major studio directorial debut with this gritty drama about jazz musicians. Music legend (Bobby Darin) plays a bandleader who scuffles from gig to gig with his band, trying to keep body and soul together without betraying his muse. Sex symbol Stella Stevens (The Nutty Professor) plays a would-be singer with a dark past who meets Darin at a party and joins his band. The two fall deeply in love, but their world comes crumbling down after Darin and his band are involved in a bar fight and Darin is overcome by fear and is unable to fight back… the humiliation causes him to reject her and his band mates. The stellar cast includes Vince Edward (TV's Ben Casey) and Cassavetes regular Seymour Cassel (Minnie and Moskowitz).

Why I rate it high is because it belongs in any retrospective of the legendary, uncompromising director, and it gave Bobby Darin one of the most multi-talented entertainers of all time, a chance to shine. I'll be forever grateful to Cassavettes' for casting Bobby in this role.
The Olive DVD is a crisp B&W transfer in an anamorphic 1.85 aspect ratio.
So many of the other performances (for that matter co-writer Cassavetes had more discipline in the script here than ever)are super. Everett Chambers wonderful lizard like performance turning on dime from smiling glad-hander to back-stabber, Bobby Darin playing a jazz musician (someone whose musical tastes AND OUTPUT was ALWAYS broad in real life)who is basically a self-centered egocentric (MANY would assert not far from his REAL personality)is always convincing and never a caricature. Nick Dennis is always a ball to watch and see (Everyone remembers him in Aldrich's KISS ME DEADLY..."Pretty POW!"). Vincent Edwards (when he was doing almost NOTHING but villains before BEN CASEY too him to stardom) isn't convincing as an IRISH person, but is effective as a drunken bully who beats tiny Darin up and humiliates him in front of his friends/bandmates and girl (Stevens)...In addition the parts of the band are played by real jazz players and they are all extraordinarily effective...as is Lionel Lindon's cinematography and David Raksin's score. SEE IT!
The Olive Films' blu-ray looks sterling.

Don't let the number of steps fool you - its not complicated! I used Juliette tomatoes from our garden which are in between a cherry & a roma - the skin peeled off very easily after roasting. Aside from using jalapeno peppers (also from our garden), I followed the directions. I served the salsa with Tostitos Scoops ...... prefer room temperature over chilled. Thanx Derf!

It goes without saying that any self-help book, no matter how good, does not replace the care of a medical professional. If you have a serious or chronic condition, and you think that homeopathy can help, go see a qualified homeopathic practitioner.

There were several injury developments in the AFC West on Monday:
Oakland defensive end Greg Ellis will have minor knee surgery and will miss some time.
However, Oakland running back Darren McFadden is making strides from a knee injury that has kept him out of four games. He could play in Oakland's next game, Nov. 15 against the Chiefs.
Denver right tackle Ryan Harris could miss three weeks with a toe injury. It's the team's first significant injury of the regular season.
Backup San Diego linebacker Tim Dobbins will miss two weeks with a knee injury. Starter Kevin Burnett is trying to come back from an ankle injury. The team is expected to add a linebacker to the 53-man roster.
The Chiefs released a statement, officially announcing their settlement with running back Larry Johnson regarding his suspension:
The Kansas City Chiefs, in conjunction with the NFL Management Council, the NFL Players Association and RB Larry Johnson have settled all matters related to Johnson's recent conduct. Johnson will remain suspended through the club's game at Jacksonville on November 8th. He will not be permitted to participate in any team activities or be on team premises until Monday, November 9th. This matter is now closed, and the Chiefs will have no further comment.
San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers is on pace for one of the best quarterbacks outputs in the NFL this season.

Skip to comments."The Mitt Romney Deception" IS the Deception
Posted on 12/10/2006 11:02:08 AM PST by Jeff Fuller
"Despite recent statements across the country by Governor Mitt Romney claiming hes pro-life, pro-family and a committed conservative, a broad investigation of his actual statements, actions, and public positions over the years indicates that he has spent his entire career speaking and governing as a liberal and that his new found conversion to conservatism very likely coincides with his candidacy for the presidency."
Please refer to comment #1 to see what a shoddy piece of work this is. If they are trying to convince people of something, they should at least get SOME of the facts right and not rely on the Boston Globe, Bay Windows, and The Boston Phoenix as their "authoritative sources".
(Excerpt) Read more at alainsnewsletter.com ...
The article is compiled by a group called "MassResistance" whose 14 members (TIC) come onto the Romney Blogs frequently to copy and paste their whole diatribe. Their thesis is:
Indeed, this report will demonstrate that Romney was probably the most pro-abortion and pro-gay rights Republican official in the nation for the last decade.This statement is utterly laughable on many levels:
Now for some clarification on the specific issues/accusations:
Mitt Romney is an interesting character. Although he is the outgoing governor of the very liberal state of Massachusetts and was named as one of the Top 10 RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) less than a year ago in HUMAN EVENTS, he's not as liberal as he might appear at first glance. He opposed raising taxes in Massachusetts, balanced the budget, fought gay marriage (although unfortunately, he lost) and has flip flopped on abortion (He now has a pro-life stance). He's even publicly calling himself a " conservative Republican." On the other hand, according to recent polls, even if you set aside the debate about how conservative he is or isn't, the "Mormon issue" is starting to look like an insurmountable obstacle to his candidacy. According to Rasmussen Polling, 43% of Americans and 53% of Evangelicals say that they, "wouldn't consider voting for a Mormon candidate." For good or ill, that probably means that Romney is unelectable.
"I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country. I have since the time that my mom took that position when she ran in 1970 as a US Senate candidate. I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years we should sustain it and support it."-Mitt Willard Romney
They are working to elect Hillary.
So no one can change their mind? I was pro-choice for a while, staunchly against it now.
Congrats on seeing the truth...but your not Presidential material either.
They are really running scared, aren't they? The fact is that Romney is the ONLY Republican that the Dems are worried about. They have no fear of McCain or Rudy, as the media already knows how to take both of them down. McCain as "crazy", starting next spring, and Rudy as racist and scandalized next summer. They have NOTHING on Romney, so they are already reduced to trying to fool the public. Sadly, many FReepers are falling for it. But then, we ARE the stupid party, right?
I'd consider him part of the GOP establishment at least since he came close to taking Ted Kennedy's Senate seat in 1994.
Is this true?! If so, I categorically rescind all my past praise or adoration of Ronald Reagan, for he shall surely...
just kidding
This is probably a cover group for the McCain campaign.
Very thorough record and should be a must read for anyone considering Romney as a candidate. It is very factual that unless the GOP puts forth a candidate we can get behind, the conservative grass roots of the part will just bail out of politics, or go to some third party.
"since he came close to taking Ted Kennedy's Senate seat in 1994."
Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat, 1,266,011, 58.1%.
W. Mitt Romney, Republican, 894,005, 41.0%
Hoo-wee, that was a squeaker, all right. ;)
Um......"they" didn't write this article. This is written by a conservative organization who have been insiders in the whole hiistory of Mr. Romney. This isn't about the Dems at all.
Face it, the GOP is NOT going to nominate a conservative next time. They are too afraid of the MSM. The media won the last election of their party. Now, to get the likes of Russert, Couric, and Gibson off their backs the Republicans will nominate Romeny, Rudy G., or McLame.
Count on it.
I'm waiting for word from the NRA and GOA, on how conservative Romney is.
Some folks around here are trying really hard to make RKBA a non-issue. If they think they can sweep it under the rug, and win, they've got another think a-comin!
"that was a squeaker"
Not trying to rebut your argument, but, offhand, can you provide any other recent contests with Teddy that might have been closer? You or others may well have such info. At the moment, I am not otherwise pro or con on Romney.
No, I can't; his seat is the definition of a safe seat. I merely looked up the stats because when the poster claimed that Romney "came close" to unseating Kennedy, that didn't square with my memory. And for once my memory was accurate.
If anything, the seat got even safer this year:
I could do stats on earlier elections far more easily if I had my CQ access here at home.
Wacko 100%er Conservatives are who I am talking about. The fact remains that many on our side are falling for this nonsense and doing the work of the Democrats at the same time.
Thank you. It would be too much to expect Teddy to have a close call, I guess, although one could always hope...
Romney was rated B by the NRA, never said he was pro choice and was always against gay marriage. But for some reason the new york times and the boston globe want us to think otherwise. Now why would that be?
You can save your breath, because the wacko 100%ers are not listening. The facts dont mean anything in the face of what they want. They dont have a viable candidate, they never have had a viable candidate. These are the Buchananites trying to sneak back into the party after being booted for their nonsense. They will remain nothing but a nuisance right up to the election where they will endorse some nut like Tancredo as their representative.
""since he came close to taking Ted Kennedy's Senate seat in 1994."
Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat, 1,266,011, 58.1%.
W. Mitt Romney, Republican, 894,005, 41.0%
Hoo-wee, that was a squeaker, all right. ;)"
Kennedy's next opponent lost by 60 points. His previous one (88') lost by 32. Kennedy has beaten his opponents by, on average, over 40 points. So yes, losing by 17 to Teddy Kennedy in Massachussetts (13% Republican Massachussetts) after Kennedy brought in every single big name Democrat in the country when October polls showed him losing, is a political miracle not to be replicated in my lifetime.
I also have a link to this on my personal page. By the way, does anybody really know what has happened to Alain lately? He hasn't written for quite awhile.
Not to be replicated in your lifetime? Look at the bright side; maybe you'll outlive Ted and get to see another Senator from Massachusetts.
Mitt Romney tacks left, right, wherever he thinks will win him an election and advance his career.
He signed the permanent Massachusetts Assault Weapons Ban and supported the federal AWB.
never said he was pro choice
BS BS BS, Mitt Romney publicly and repeatedly trumpeted his supported for legal abortion .... until he gave up on Massachusetts and started running for president. Look at what he told NARAL in his most recent election, seeking their endorsement:
By "discrimination of gays", I assume you mean the multitude of gay rights issues that Mitt Romney supports, the special rights agenda which are the building blocks leading to gay marriage?
You sound just like a liberal, trumpeting your boss's commitment to gays in the Boy Scouts, gay adoptions, gay "non-discrimination", benefits for gay partners, etc etc etc.
George Bush opposed repeal of the Brady Bill . Is there a difference between Bush and Romney?
So did Bush who you've supported, haven't you? Why does Bush get a pass, but for Romney this is an unforgiveable apostasy?
I am absolutely astounded at the vigorous and underhanded effort to destroy anyone who might pose an actual threat to the "front runners." My goodness, who could be behind all of this? /s
So you're saying I should like Romney because he has all of Bush's flaws and none of his strengths?
Bush at least engineered it so the AWB died despite his promise to sign it "if it reached" his desk -- just as I predicted would happen, so he gets some mitigation there. Romney not only endorsed the concept of the federal ban but passed and signed his own permanent AWB in Massachusetts.
Of course being anti-gun is only one of Romney's many failings, the chief one being a finger-in-the-wind slimy phony two-faced John Edwards wannabe.
Just what spews forth from your keyboard.
I guess the full-blown homo-phobes may conclude for his anti-discrimination stances that Romney is not their candidate
Liberal, liberal, liberal .... the name-calling (people who don't support "gay rights" are "homo-phobes" (sic)), trying to play "gay rights" as an issue of discrimination, please, you sicken me.
He also went to bat for the Catholic charities adoption services when they were under pressure for not allowing their kids to be placed with homosexual couples.
Oh please, no he didn't and you know it. Quit the lying, it's disgusting. He said he'd help, could have helped, but then did a 180 and did nothing. Flip, flop, let's play both sides.... Oh, right, he tried to win himself brownie points by supporting legislation that would never have a chance of passing, if it was ever even written up as a bill.
Also, please name the legislation he proposed or signed that extended special rights homosexuals . . .
he said he would support domestic partnership benefits, at one point saying they would become a "hallmark of my leadership as governor." ... Romney has broader goals in mind, and will use this opportunity to establish further rights for gay couples, Fehrnstrom said. "At the end of the day, same-sex couples will end up with more rights and benefits than they previously enjoyed," he said. http://www.deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,525039435,00.html
I'm sure you have more info on the gay rights legislation Romney has championed -- if you weren't so duplicitous and seeking to hide his pro-gay record you'd post it yourself.
Bush had no problems signing a restriction on the First Amendment when it "reached his desk", so too he likely would have done the same with the Second Amendment.
The MA State Senate is 35 Dems to 5 Republicans. The House is 135 to 21. Do you think that an AWB with a veto proof majority is likely to "reach the desk" of a Governor in that State?
Bush was Governor of fricking Texas. Why he couldn't bring himself to oppose the Brady Bill? Maybe he was Edwards-chameleon like looking to moderate his position for the the 2000 Presidential election?
So does that mean you're in favor of passing Federal laws to prohibit abortion in all 50 states? Or would you instead see Roe vs. Wade overthrown and revert it to the states?
I favor the latter over the former -- I humbly consider myself a states-righter. So when I hear someone apply or take either label with regard to choice, it tells me little.
Lincoln did not "save his breath" when our country was caught in a similar division over slavery. The Abolitionists had little use for his toleration of slavery in the slave states in order to save the Union. Today's Abolitionists against the wrong of abortion have many more ways to accomplish their goals within the political framework, essentially it starts with Supreme Court judges who are willing to let the states individually decide the issue for themselves. The rest should be left to citizens to reach out to their fellow citizens in a positive and loving manner to save unwanted children and encourage positive attitudes so that more mothers want their children.
In MA against Ted K that's about as close as anyone's gotten!
...Slick Willard...?
I love the " . . . " part of your quote of the 2003 Deseret News article.
You conveniently leave out that the "opportunity" mentioned was a bill being brainstormed that would PROHIBIT Gay Marriage in Massachussetts. THey were negotiating with the legislature and even temporarily entertained the idea of recognizing "civil unions" in order to ban "gay marriage". Negotiations broke down because of the gay lobby's strong influence over the legislature. So essentially, Romney was in the middle of negotiating a potential deal to ban gay marriage in MA (after the court had passed it) and considered "trading" a few benefits that heterosexual couples get for the opportunity to nix the marriage issue. I'm conflicted on that personally, but I realize that compromise is sometimes necessary in politics.
Here's the quote without the ". . ."
If you wish to search out posts I made before the last presidential election, you will see that I was not pleased when W promised to sign the AWB. If the dems put it in front of him now, I reckon he'll sign off on it.
I've had enough of the wishy washy crap. There is less "republican" flavor in the GOP every day, it begins to smell like democrats. I am only here for The Constitution, when it goes, I go with it. Turn the Republican Party back around, or start calling yourselves something else.
Blatant lie.
Asked about that in the campaign, he said he would support domestic partnership benefits, at one point saying they would become a "hallmark of my leadership as governor."
Romney pledged his wholehearted support of domestic partnership benefits IN THE CAMPAIGN, NOT as you assert as some kind of compromise during the gay marriage debacle.
Also, the majority of the rest of the article provides some proper perspective . . . that Romney was really put in a pickle on this one.
ROFL, He was in a pickle BECAUSE HE WAS TRYING TO PLAY BOTH SIDES!!! LOL, you've really got some blinders on. Did you even read what you quoted???
"Romney has already begun staking out a centrist position in a debate prone to be defined by extremes. Barely an hour after the court's opinion was made public Tuesday morning, he delivered a nuanced, carefully prepared response that included elements to satisfy both ends of the political spectrum."
He's a two-faced phony, and he's going to pay the price for it.
Fair enough, but it seemed like it might be close for a while. :)
You obviously live in a world of black and white (and Caps and Bold). Most of us who live and work in the real world realize that there are often "shades of gray." I think "the blinders" market is already cornered by you and yours.
I would like to see you be the Gov. of Massachusetts. Romney took on a hard job (but I'm glad it was him instead of Shannon O'Brien). I know he chose to do so, and that he's now choosing to run for POTUS, but everyone must realize how he has been willing to take on liberals on their own turf. That is why the National Review said of Romney: Romney has done his best to defend the culture of life on what is probably the most inhospitable terrain in the country."
He has taken some centrist stands or been silent on some issues because of the MA political climate. How far do you think he would get by staking out a hard-line ultra-conservative view on every issue? Remember, he had/has to lead the state of MA.
On another issue . . . the "blatant lie" you assert.
Please quote my words that were a "lie."
I never asserted that he didn't say during his campaign that he would try to secure certain domestic benefits for gay couples (which, by the way, are things like "rights to survivorship", and being able to visit a partner in hospital ICUs, among other things). However, that doesn't exclude that it was under the setting of trying to get Gay Marriage banned that it came up again. Actually, it could have been that this was Romney's "master plan" the whole time since Gay Marriage was a hot issue during the campaign (and his opponent announcing that she was for it just weeks before the election helped clinch things for Mitt). His plan might have been to propose legislation or a ballot issue that banned gay marriage but granted some of these said "domestic benefits." Such a plan would have been short-circuited by the Court's action legalizing Gay Marriage. I don't know if this was his plan, but you don't know that it wasn't . . . so you need to tone down your rhetoric and statements where you seem to assume that you know what was in Romney's heart and mind when he's said or done the things he has. Fortuantely, ROmney is a gifted communicator and he will be able to address and answer these questions well.
PS . . . just so everybody who's reading this thread knows, I am a pro-Romney blogger (part-time and unpaid) and JohnnyZ is a true anti-Romneyite who has devoted his whole Freeper homepage ( http://www.freerepublic.com/~johnnyz/ --or just click on his name) to anti-Romney diatribe. I can understand being pro-someone or -something, but to be so devoted against an individual strikes me as questionable.
We've argued a lot in the past and he has really been "Johnny on the spot" whenever any pro- or anti-Romney articles articles are posted. I'll give him that at least.
"Some folks around here are trying really hard to make RKBA a non-issue. If they think they can sweep it under the rug, and win, they've got another think a-comin!"
Agreed 100%
RKBA is the one issue that can tell you everything you know about whether a candidate is pro or anti liberty.
Let them go, and try to get away with it, the only way they learn is the hard way. Maybe a few years of Hilary will wake them up, but, maybe it will be too late to change, by then.

CARTAGENA, Colombia (AP) - John McCain is denying that he roughed up an associate of Nicaragua's president on a diplomatic mission in 1987.
He says the allegation made by Republican Senator Thad Cochran is "simply not true."
Cochran told a Mississippi newspaper that he saw McCain grab an associate of Daniel Ortega by his shirt collar and lift him out of his chair.
The GOP presidential contender is known for his hot temper.
Asked about the alleged incident at a news conference in Colombia, McCain said that while he didn't admire Ortega's Sandinistas much, there was never anything of that nature.
He said he made several trips to the region at the time, as co-chair of a Central American working group in the Senate.

"indie/rock/pop quartet with the emphasis on the latter. Featuring lead singer John Levan, bass guitarist James Spratley, drummer Jeffrey Litzman and keyboardist Thea Tochihara, the group should appeal to indie rockers and power-pop fans alike, with well-crafted songs that will have you humming their melody lines after one listen. Three-chord, 12-bar music this is not. Songs like "She Said," which explodes from the speakers from the first note, throw more sonic curveballs in 3:12 than some groups manage in a whole set. "

You can find no end of advice on creating strong passwords, using clever tricks, stats, mnemonics, and such.
But all too frequently we (and I include myself in this rebuke) tend to reuse little passwords at what we think are inconsequential sites. It's a big mistake — here's why.
This story is true. As the admonition goes: only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
I live in a small town a couple of hours away from a big city we'll call Metropolis. There are several daily newspapers in Metropolis, and one of the largest (let's call it the Daily Planet) boasts a very nice website. The people who create and maintain the Daily Planet site are excellent designers and programmers — but they aren't security experts.
One of Metropolis's citizens is a regular guy named, oh, Joe. He's pretty good with computers, and he knows enough to use strong passwords on bank and stock-market sites.

#22330 closed Cleanup/optimization (needsinfo)
Model.__reduce__() includes cached lookups
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Database layer (models, ORM)
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
If you try to pickle an object after accessing any of its related instances, its __dict__ will contain references to those instances and will cause them to be pickled as part of your object.
Pickling them can cause additional instances to be traversed and can result in an unexpectedly large number of objects being included. These will be pickled/unpickled as a single chunk and I assume the unpickled instance will continue to use its cached instances which may lead to surprising results (values not reflecting current DB state).
Pickling additional instances can cause relation traversal to cache additional reverse lookups thus modifying an instance's __dict__ while it is being pickled. This results in:
RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration
Change History (3)

I am not sure of the expected behavior. If we don't make a change here, we should at least document like we've done for QuerySet pickling.
comment:2 Changed 9 months ago by akaariai
If nobody offers a good reason why this must be changed, I think we should opt for keeping the current behavior. Sometimes you might actually want to pickle the related instances, too. And, changes here might result in performance changes for deployed applications, which are nasty to detect when updating Django. One example is that caching results of select_related queryset would not cache the related selections after the change.
Above, the RuntimeError thrown by pickling looks like a good argument for fixing. But as long as we don't have a test to reproduce this issue, it is hard to say if the problem is in Django or how to fix the problem if it is in Django.
comment:3 Changed 9 months ago by timgraham
- Resolution set to needsinfo
- Status changed from new to closed
It might be related to issues like #24381, but I agree we can close this until we get a test case to reproduce the problem.

You'll got the surf board wrong way around, if he is surfing to the left the wave should be going to the left, since the wave is going to the right, he should be going to the right! get it!
Wait! I just had a movie script idea!!
And I'm going to call it "Slumdog Surfer."
It's about this Indian kid who hasn't got a clue about surfing. But with the help of the internet and sheer determination, he becomes a world-class professional surfer...
I know, right?
Hey Oswald, try not to hurt the new guy about to be sworn into the office, alright?! THEN I'll be pissed!! ; P
Good eye. This campaign is a disaster.
I think, therefore... yeah.
good observation.
i did not know it was possible to surf on the backside of a wave.
Yes, it is difficult to make out the flip-flops as they are sooo small. Additionally, it does not help that the surfer is incorrect. What does the copy in the top right say? I hope it says something about flip-flops or sandals.
I'm trying to figure out what they're advertising too...wait..what?
IVAN please wake-up n have a cup lof coffee...you need it...badly...
:: throwing hands up in disgust ::
*What* is there to like?
A pretty picture? That's about all it is. There's no freaking clue what's being sold here. There's ot even enough information to give you a "feeling" about what they're marketing.
What on earth could you possible *like* about this abysmal failure of an ad? It's "pretty"? Yeah, that's a reason alright.
may be the idea is bad, bad execution bad everything. BUT WHERE THE HELL WAS A NEED TO BE RACIST U FUCKING IDIOT WHITE PUSSY PIGS. GO FUCK UR MAMA. u have problem with INDIA try YOGA u cunt. tell ur sister to call me on 100.

My older daughter is almost 2 1/2 and we have aĀnew baby (4 1/2 months) that has been sleeping in our room since birth.Ā However, we only have a two bedroom place, so the girls will have to share eventually.Ā the baby has been doing very well with sleeping through the night (maybe waking once for a bottle), so we decided it might be time to move the baby into the girls' room (the crib has been in there set up for months).Ā We started a week ago Friday.Ā The first night was amazing, both girls went down, the baby woke once to feed, the girls went back to sleep, and both girls slept 'til 7am.Ā It's been downhill (and by downhill, I mean like dropping a rock off a cliff) ever since.Ā The baby is fine with the arrangment and has been sleeping through most of the chaos, but my toddler first started waking crying in the morning on Sunday and Monday (and this is a child who's slept 7pm-7am for the last two years), we also noticed the longer it takes the baby to settle, the more fidgety and silly my toddler gets at bedtime, but I figured that's normal.Ā But starting Monday night my toddler started crying when I tried to leave the room, and when I did she started shrieking at the top of her lungs.Ā It took me two hours to settle her, then she woke up shrieking again later and wouldn't allow us to leave the room.Ā My husband and I took turns sleeping in the chair in the room so she's go to sleep.Ā Since then we've tried to at least move into the hallway, which seemed to be working until last night, but we're spending half the night sleeping on the floor, we're not getting sleep, she's not getting sleep, and now she doesn't even want to sleep in her bed, she wants to sleep on the floor with me/him (which we haven't allowed).Ā She's also started freaking out whenever I leave (like going into the garage to get something and I come back and she's in tears, or when she's in her carseat and I go around to the back of the car to put something in she'll start crying).Ā I don't know what to do.Ā My husband thinks we should take the baby out of the room, part of me would like to because everybody here needs more sleep, but the fact is we only have two bedrooms, and they WILL have to share.Ā I feel like this transition has to happen sometime and if we undo it now, then next time all this may happen again only worse because she freaked out and "won" the first time.Ā I don't know what to do, we all need sleep, I don't know why she's freaking out without us.Ā I'm just so tired and I don't have answers.Ā This whole thing just seems to be getting worse, not better.

I have no advice for you but I will be in the same boat in a couple months. Would like to know what helped you deal with this.
I also have a 2 1/2 year old and a 4 1/2 month old! (mine are boys) and we live in a small 2 bedroom. We decided that the baby wont move into the boys room until he is one or so. I have noticed in the last couple weeks that our oldest has been acting different. At first he was really mad about the baby and then accepted him. Now its likes hes regressed. Hes acting like he cant go down stairs, or get in his seat by himself. He says mommy a million times a day and wants to be picked up. I think it goes in stages like accepting any new life experiences. ODD feels like baby has already taken everything else from her (toddlers think EVERYTHING is theirs as you probably know!LOL) and now shes in the last place that she had all by herself. It was a good thing you had the crib in there already to get here use to it. I know it is hard but transitions are hard on everyone with a toddler inveolved and if you want the baby to sleep in there just keep at it. She will get use to it after a little while. It is torcher though not getting sleep! good luck! ┬Ā(sorry mine is so long im a psychology major and just did a paper on toddler transition)

Usually on my phone and am horrible about keeping up with posts! Please PAN with questions and ignore spelling mistakes :P
My suggestion is that even though your kids will need to share a room eventually, maybe it doesn't have to be now.┬Ā Going by your DD's response, she is not ready for that transition.┬Ā It sounds more like a sharing issue like PP said.┬Ā She has shared everything else and sharing her room is just too much for her right now.┬Ā I would let her have her room a little longer and try it again in a month or 2.┬Ā In the meantime, talk to her about how wonderful and fun it would be to share a room.┬Ā I just wouldn't try to rush things too much - it is a huge transition for her.┬Ā Hope that helps.

Well, we took Sunday night off (we were at our wits end, and we told our toddler the baby's tummy hurt so she had to sleep in with Mommy and Daddy).┬Ā As soon as she knew the baby wouldn't be in the room, she slept perfectly through the night.┬Ā We were advised by a professional that we know to keep at it (or we'd pay for it later, teaching her early that a fit will get her what she wants).┬Ā We were also advised to let her cry it out more, and not worry about the baby (who could nap all day to make up the sleep if she needs to).┬Ā We put down our toddler last night, but kept the baby with us for the older one to have a chance to fall asleep.┬Ā Once both girls were alseep we brought the baby back into the room.┬Ā When our toddler woke and started crying, we used the ten minute rule, then went out and walked her back to bed, which she did surprisingly well.┬Ā We went through about three episodes like this, and the baby only woke when she was hungry for a bottle.┬Ā In the end our toddler fell asleep on the floor by the baby gate.┬Ā When I got up for work I walked her back to bed.┬Ā Overall it gives us hope that we might get through this.┬Ā We'll see how tonight goes.
I have a 2 1/2 year old boy and 4month old baby boy. But my baby wakes up twice at night. Once he can sleep throught the night we will try to put him in the room with my older LO. I am in no hurry though. It doesn't bother me that the baby sleeps in our room. He's not a noisy sleeper. Plus I think by the time my older LO is 3yrs old he may be able to handle the situation a little better.

My principal duty and intense pleasure is to tender my thanks to the House of Delegates which selected me for the highest honor in the gift of the medical profession of America, and to my colleagues of all the fifty states who were good enough to approve of its choice. Nor am I under less obligation for their attendance on this occasion to such citizens, men and women, as by their presence here exhibit their interest in things medical and socio-political.
My everlasting gratitude is due for the mode in which this great honor was conferred on me.

Dead easy get on, fly, get off no frills or fuss. I use this regularly about every 8 weeks. Leeds airport isn't very good but the flight and Belfast City are fine. Booking, luggage, tickets, boarding are all efficient and fuss free except at the Leeds end but that's not Flybes fault. I'll continue to use them always.
The plane took off exactly on time on both trips. A small propellor plane but ok for a 2 hour flight. Friendly and efficient staff on board and a Captain that kept us fully informed about the flight.

generally good experience with service and punctuality. unfortunately flybe has repeatedly ruined our backpacks despite prior mentioning and special protective bags. very unfortunate since the remaining impression otherwise was above average.
Its a turbo prop but very good comfortable flight at a cheap price. I suggest to purchase extra luggage before hand as it is cheaper than the counter price. i will definitely fly again with Flybe.
I used to fly at least three times a week with fly be and wish I had a pound for every late take off, cancelled flight and hours sat in airports.

Thought I'd give Flybe a go as rather fed up with the EasyJet timings, which normally means an overly long day waiting around for a red eye back from Amsterdam to Manchester.

Plane had just 2 seats each side so not able to have extra legroom; however it wasn't a problem as the spacing was OK. Had a 40 min wait on the tarmac but otherwise uneventful (which is what we want!).

Any time a person will be serious about purchasing a car or truck, they will often want to consider purchasing a previously owned car. This provides them with the opportunity to commit much less on the car so they can buy the specific car or truck they want without worrying about exceeding beyond their particular spending budget. An individual might look into buying a volkswagen, sedan, or even a 4×4 with minimal miles and a relatively recent manufacture date to make sure they invest in a top quality vehicle which is going to fulfill their needs.
An individual who might be interested in buying a previously owned car may wish to carry out a bit of research beforehand. They'll desire to take the time to make a list of vehicles they might be considering as well as ascertain precisely how much the vehicles might be worth in case they're in top condition. This offers them a solid idea of just how much they're able to expect to spend not to mention having a few automobiles planned suggests they will be more apt to find one that's going to be just what they're trying to find. Once they have a couple of autos in mind and also fully grasp how much they would like to spend, they can go to a nearby car lot.
At the dealership, a person may wish to take a little bit of time to be able to look around at the autos available. Previously owned vehicles may differ depending on the car lot and precisely what they've got available at that moment, thus someone might wish to consider heading back in a week or two if they fail to come across the cars they're interested in. In case they do find a vehicle they have been contemplating, they can take it for a test drive to discover how it handles as well as how comfortable it's for them to drive. It's a good suggestion to test drive no less than two autos so the individual could make certain they uncover one they'll enjoy.
Purchasing a previously owned car is a superb method for saving money, however a person definitely will want to research in advance in order to make the purchasing process easier. Take time to stick to the tips above the next time you might be contemplating investing in a vehicle so that you can be sure you'll locate one that fulfills your current requirements and your budget.

Low-cost long-wavelength lasers operating at high temperatures without cooling systems are required for optical subscriber systems. InAsP multi-quantum-well (MQW) lasers have been attracting much interest because of their good high-temperature performance. This performance has been attributed to a large conduction band discontinuity (ΔEc ) preventing carrier leakage in the InAsP/InP system compared with conventional InGaAsP/InP systems. However, our recent study revealed a relatively small ΔEc in the InAsP/InP system. Based on this band line-up, it is possible to form a type-I band profile by using InAlGaAs as a barrier instead of InGaAsP. The InAsP/InAlGaAs QW system should have a large ΔEc (>300 meV) sufficient to suppress the carrier leakage at a high temperature. In this paper, we present the band line-up study of this system and report on growth and characterization of this newly proposed strain-compensated InAsP/InAlGaAs MQW lasers for the first time. The lasers exhibited a threshold current density of 1.1 kA/cm2 with a characteristic temperature as high as 116 K which is promising for realizing a cooling system free 1.3-μm laser

In case you didn't notice, the NBA age minimum rule has completely changed the face of the draft. This year, 13 college freshmen have filed as early-entry candidates for the NBA draft. Many of them are expected to be lottery or first-round selections. The 2008-09 fantasy season may seem far off in the distance, but since this is a relatively new phenomenon in the NBA, fantasy owners might want to start thinking about how recent "one-and-done" players have fared in making the jump to the NBA after just one year of college experience.
This is an exercise that some folks may have performed a few years back when drafting high school stars was all the rage, and we quickly came to realize that most kids who came directly out of high school took a few years to develop at the NBA level. Of course, there were some exceptions, but the fantasy community learned -- sometimes the hard way -- not to overrate the youngsters who made the leap directly from high school to the pros. Now we are faced with a similar dilemma, with a slight twist. Will the same trends hold true for the youngsters who now have one year of college ball under their belt?
Before we start examining recent history, let's take a quick look at the college freshmen who have filed for early entry for the 2008 NBA draft:
For those who are counting, there's a very good chance that six of the first 10 selections in the draft could be players making the jump to the NBA after just one season of college play. There's a lot of star power here, and a ton of future potential, but can we really expect these "kids" to make a splash on the fantasy scene right away? History is the best indicator we have to predict the future, so let's take a look at how last year's group of freshmen fared in the fantasy game.
The first word that comes to mind when looking at the table above is "ouch." Things didn't turn out too well for the "one-and-done" rookies, did they? Kevin Durant was the only player to crack the top 100 on the Player Rater, and no one else was even close. Sure, some of these players flashed glimpses of brilliance -- particularly Thaddeus Young -- but none had much of a fantasy impact. Luckily, most fantasy owners were wise enough not to overvalue this crop of rookies, as Durant and Mike Conley were the only two who were consistently selected on draft day in fantasyland. Conley was the most disappointing of the bunch, as he was incredibly overvalued on draft day (ADP of 102.3) and failed to live up to the fantasy hype in his rookie season. After Durant and Conley, the rest of the group listed above was a complete nonfactor in fantasy leagues.
Now, before we get too negative here, I must point out a few reasons for the poor showing. Take a look at the minutes per game for each of the players listed above. Minutes make the fantasy world go 'round, and we can't expect anyone to have fantasy value if he isn't receiving ample playing time. The relative lack of minutes seems to be the biggest culprit here, but it begs the question: Were these kids ready to play at the NBA level? If they were, they would have received more minutes, no? There will always be exceptions (in this instance, Durant), but in most cases, players with only one year of college experience are either too raw or are not physically or mentally ready to contribute in the NBA. Even the players who saw 20-plus minutes per game (Conley, Young, Cook) struggled, and the same held true for most of those high school seniors who were drafted a few years back. This is in no way an indication of how these youngsters will progress during their careers (many have promising and bright futures ahead of them), but fantasy owners should know that most 19- and 20-year-old rookies will not have much of a fantasy impact right out of the gate.
These aren't the only players who have struggled making the leap to the NBA after just one college season recently. In 2006-07, first-round draft picks Tyrus Thomas (13.4 minutes) and Shawne Williams (12.1 minutes) were buried on their respective benches for most of their rookie seasons. In 2005-06, UNC's freshman sensation Marvin Williams bolted for the pros, but posted just 8.5 points and 4.8 rebounds in 24.7 minutes for the Hawks. In 2004, two freshmen, Luol Deng and Kris Humphries, were drafted in the first round. Deng had a nice season, averaging 11.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 27.3 minutes, but we are still waiting for Humphries to deliver on the promise he showed when he was selected with the 14th overall pick.
So there we have it -- in recent history, only two college freshmen (Durant and Deng) making the jump to the NBA have provided owners with viable fantasy stats during their rookie seasons. In an attempt to find more success stories, we have to go all the way back to 2003-04 when Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh, two seriously NBA-ready talents, made successful transitions despite playing just one season at the college level. Melo took the league by storm by averaging 21.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 0.8 3-pointers and 0.5 blocks in 36.5 minutes during his rookie year while Bosh averaged a more modest 11.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.4 blocks in 33.5 minutes per game. That said, even when we factor Melo and Bosh into the mix, the failure rate for the "one-and-done" crowd is quite high, and it would be even higher if we decided to add in all the players who were drafted straight out of high school during this time.
I realize that I have painted a somewhat gloomy picture here, but be sure to keep in mind that for every 10 players who do not get it done in their rookie season, there are usually one or two who can come in and contribute right away. How can we tell which players will contribute immediately? For me, it's all about how NBA-ready a player is, and how many minutes he'll be able to secure in his rookie season. Athleticism counts, but a successful rookie will need to have a refined game as well. Look at Durant, Deng, Anthony and Bosh. All had the athleticism, but they were also much more advanced than their counterparts as far as their basketball skills were concerned. And, of course, all four earned ample playing time early in their careers.
So don't go ignoring a Michael Beasley or a Derrick Rose just because some fantasy analyst told you there's a high failure rate for young players coming into the NBA. We have to evaluate each player on a case-by-case basis. It doesn't matter if they are college freshmen or college seniors. What really matters is how NBA-ready their games are, and how many minutes they'll receive right off the bat. Remember, minutes are the key to fantasy success. That said, without knowing where each player will land, it's almost impossible to project which rookies will have the most fantasy impact, so we'll have to revisit this topic over the summer to give you an idea of which rookies will make the biggest fantasy splash in 2008-09.
