New to CSC: 3 Local Actors Take on Shakespeare Times 2
Heat, humidity, and not a few summer storms might keep a lesser group down for the season, but not the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company. Every summer, they produce one of the most anticipated theatre events of the season, Shakespeare in the Ruins. For several years now, this company of local, professional-grade classics lovers gathers every summer to present William's best (and sometimes under-produced) works at the Patapsco Female Institute Historic Park in Ellicott City, Maryland. Hallmarks of these productions include the fact that, like the Elizabethans, we audience members get to enjoy the theatre outdoors, the plays are opposites - this year's As You Like It is a comedy, while Henry V is a history, and the plays are done in true repertory, with the same cast performing roles in both plays. This season, CSC has really upped the ante. They are presenting these plays under the auspices of the internationally renowned Shakespeare in Washington Festival.
Several of the area's best actors are CSC regulars, including Patrick Kilpatrick, Ashly Ruth Fishell and Wayne Willinger. But, CSC regularly brings in the best of local talents that are new to the area or perform in the DC area exclusively. It is always exciting to see these new faces. This season, three of those standout actors, Colby Codding, Vince Eisenson and Lindsay Kitt Wiebe are delighting audiences with their own exciting brands of theatricality and broad scope of talent. All three excel, whether in major supporting roles or blending into the ensemble, whether being broadly comic or heartbreakingly serious, or whether displaying fine physical acting or sublimely detailed and nuanced speeches. Recently, I had the opportunity to ask this talented trio a few questions.
James Howard (JH): Each of you plays a variety of characters in As You Like It and Henry V, more than one, in each play. How did you prepare each character, and how do you keep them all straight in your head during each individual show and between the two shows all together?
Lindsay Kitt Wiebe (LW): I always let the text inform me of who each character is and what's going on. First of all, As You Like It and Henry V are vastly different plays examining vastly different worlds and themes. I look at the relationships between the role(s) I am portraying on a given evening and the other characters in the play. Each character has a very separate set of objectives - of wants and needs - to be met. Each character has a very different energy and thought pattern. Each character uses the language in a case specific way. Luckily in Shakespeare, all the clues an actor needs are in fact buried somewhere in the text. So, I like to reacquaint myself with the text of each play before stepping onto the stage as a nice reminder of the specifics for each show and character.
Vince Eisenson (VE): Luckily the directors have helped us create two different moods for the shows, and that helps me focus on the different characters. (Director) Ian Gallanar really wanted As You Like It to be about the joy of life. While rehearsing that show, I tried to find what makes both characters (Le Beau and Amiens) happy so I could find ways for them to pursue joy in their lives. For Le Beau, the script gives some great clues. Celia introduces him to the audience by saying, "Here comes Monsieur Le Beau, with his mouth full of news." Le Beau only appears in the beginning of the show, but he says a heck of a lot in his short stage life. So he loves to gossip and entertain people, especially the ladies of his court. I made the choice that this flamboyant, gossipy guy wanted to use his story-telling prowess to help and entertain people.
Henry requires a different kind of energy. (Director) James Ricks made it clear that we needed to drive the show by making scene transitions seamless, picking up cues, and finding high stakes for our characters in every scene. The script provides plenty of those stakes - we're at war, after all. There's some comedy in the play, and I tried to find a sense of humor for both characters I play, but the truth is that they usually get shoved in situations where what's happening is deathly serious. As Scroop, I come on for one scene and am quickly pleading for my life. For Captain Gower, I realized I was the straight man surrounded by comic relief. Gower is constantly dealing with Fluellen's eccentricities, and just trying to keep up with Steve Beall gives me plenty to focus on. I got the sense from the script that Gower really wanted to keep his fellow captains together and put people in their places when they weren't acting in the English army's best interest. Gower laces into the lying, thieving Pistol at the end of the play. I try to focus on those goals before going on as Gower, and that helps me differentiate him from the other characters I play.
Colby Codding (CC): Keeping a bunch of characters straight in your head is actually easier than you would think, because you learn them on different tracks, if you get my meaning. In this case, the four of the characters are completely different from one another as written - one is a simple shepherd, one is a drunken rapscallion, one is a prince, etc. I've doubled up in the past (as did actors from Shakespeare's own company) and the only time it came close to derailing was when I ran on stage as a Messenger at the beginning of Macbeth to breathlessly give some important news and almost delivered another Messenger speech from Comedy of Errors that started out in identical fashion as the Macbeth messenger. Sleep helps, too.
JH: Is this your first experience with repertory theatre?
LW: Actually, my first experience with repertory theatre was last year in my summer semester of graduate school at The Shakespeare Theatre Academy for Classical Acting. As luck would have it, we did As You Like It and James Shirley's The Cardinal. I love doing two shows in repertory! I think, especially during the rehearsal process, it really keeps you focused and on your toes jumping between two worlds. I find that it helps an actor's capacity for versatility and range.
VE: I did two historical dramas in rep for a summer. The shows took place in the same time period and had many overlapping characters, so it felt more like performing two parts of an epic.
JH: Is it a largely positive thing? How so and/or how not?
CC: Doing two, or even several, shows at the same time is a joy for an actor. It is like being in a candy store. "I think I'll bite into this Twix bar. Oh, I can munch away on a Mars bar, too? Where do I sign?" There are no negatives - unless you feel like you've overextended yourself, in which case you shouldn't have taken on two gigs at once in the first place.
JH: How does learning two completely different plays with the same cast of actors work?
VE: Doing these two plays in rep with the same actors keeps the performances exciting. One night I'm chuckling with Pat Kilpatrick by a bed of flowers, the next he's throwing me against a wall, spitting in my face and pronouncing my death. I love seeing actors in such different situations each night, and building a rapport with them. I think we all use the connections we make with each other in one show to strengthen relationships in the other.
JH: What is it like working with two different directors?
CC: As far as working with two directors at once - again, you are operating on two tracks. So when I am in rehearsing As You Like It with Ian, I am engaged with Ian and his suggestions and such. The next night when I am rehearsing Henry with James, I am engaged with James and not thinking a whit about As You Like It. Sort of like entering two separate rooms at a really cool party.
LW: Working with two different directors is like working with two different plays. Each director has his own style of working with Shakespeare, his own set of theatrical philosophies and visions for what each play should become when taken off the page and put into motion. I think it's really interesting to have the opportunity as an actor to observe and experience various different ways of working.
JH: Explain your training/acting background. How has it helped you get to this point in your acting career? How do you continue learning/training?
CC: I guess the most pivotal training experience I had was being a founding member of Shenandoah Shakespeare Express, now the American Shakespeare Center at the Blackfriars in Staunton, VA. I did about ten productions with them and we were at the advent of the whole "original practices" (i.e. doing it the way Shakespeare's company did it - focusing on the text, audience interaction, etc.) that has resurfaced since the late 80's. You learn a lot doing ten shows and thirty characters in four years on the road in front of high schools and colleges. I try to stay current by going to stage combat classes every so often, watching other actors perform, and doing geeky things like reading the prefaces to Shakespeare's First Folio and learning as much as I can retain about the Elizabethans and how they performed and interpreted Shakespeare's text.
LW: I would not trade my educational experience(s) for the world! My undergraduate, graduate certificate and graduate degree have most certainly opened my eyes to entire landscapes of various genres of theatre. Of course, the more you know the more you are capable of…and the more you know, the more you realize you have yet to learn! I have always believed that if I am going to devote my life and career to theatre, I might as well go the distance. I constantly strive to challenge and stretch myself as an actor, sometimes beyond the bounds of what I think is possible, regardless of the outcome. As with any risk or leap of faith, there is always a great chance of failure. However, one will never truly succeed if one never takes a risk to begin with.
VE: I acted in community and school theatre productions since age 11 in my hometown of Durham, NC. I went to a high school, Durham School of the Arts, which had a great theatre program. We got to do Measure for Measure and Antony and Cleopatra as teenagers. From there I went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Drama Department is connected to PlayMakers Repertory Company, so I was able to get equity points and act with professionals as an undergraduate. I also did many student shows. One of my professors, David Hammond, is renowned for his text coaching and directing of Shakespeare, and I was lucky to have several classes with him and act in three of his shows.
I also spent a summer at the British American Drama Academy in Oxford. I was able to get more movement training there and yet more text coaching with Shakespeare. That summer, and my work as an upperclassman in college really turned me on to classic texts and the possibilities in them for developing characters. Shakespeare constantly challenges you as an actor, because you can't throw his language away and settle into a safe, "naturalistic" performance. You have to find ways to express the complex thoughts he's giving you through voice and clear action. It's very hard, but very rewarding when you find ways to do it effectively.

How can I help my breastfed newborn gain weight without using formula?
My 10 day old son was 7.3 at birth & is down to 6.3 but the doctor didn't seem concerned. I'm breastfeeding but not sure if I'm producing enough or if it's high enough in fat. I have to go back to the doctor's in a week for a weight check. How can I help him gain weight without supplementing?? I typically feed him every 2.5-4hrs for 30-45mins. Sometimes he'll sleep 6hrs straight during the night & I was told to never wake a sleeping baby. Should I increase feedings?? PLEASE HELP. He's my 1st baby & could really use the advice of some experienced mothers! THANK YOU!!!!!

In this case, you absolutely need to wake to feed, and never go 4 hours during the day. A baby who needs to gain needs to be nursing at least every 2 hours during the day, no more than 4 hours once at night. A baby who isn't getting enough will sleep through feedings. If you have to supplement, you can pump and supplement with your own milk. It can also help to let your milk sit in the fridge, then skim the fat off the top and feed just that by spoon. Your milk is perfect in terms of nutrition but you need to be waking that baby and getting more of it in. Just feeding more often will increase your supply and increase the fat in each feeding all by itself. Please see a lactation consultant for some help in person! Some more information: http://kellymom.com/bf/normal/newborn-nursing/posted 11/05/2012 by emmara
It is absolutely normal for baby to lose some weight after birth and regain it later. You need to feed baby more often. Newborns should eat every 1.5-2 hours (it only takes 90 minutes for them to digest breastmilk so after that they have an empty belly!) and if baby is sleeping in longer periods then yes you need to wake baby to feed. If there are further problems please see a lactation consultant to ensure that baby is latching properly and doesn't have other problems (tongue tie/lip tie/etc) that a pediatrician would not pick up on. Also, if you try pumping please keep in mind that some woman cannot pump/express as much milk as a nursing baby can get. Babies are typically much more efficient nursers. :)posted 11/10/2012 by andarte
my baby girl was born with normal weight 3.15kg now she is 7 weeks old but her gaining weight is low becouse she is not latching my breast even for 10 min and she wont wake up for 4-5 hrs at night if she awake even she wont drink milk proparly.if i pump even she wont drink more than 2oz at each feed. some time i can pump 5-6 oz from each breast bt some time very difficult to pump even 3oz from both side so i dont know whether im producing enough milk. please help soon this is my first babyposted 04/25/2013 by afthab_hussain2000
I was told to wake my baby up and not to let her go more then 4hours without eating but she was also in the nicu for 2weeks so she might not be the normal baby story but if you want your baby to gain weight and not supplement maybe try pumping and seeing how much milk you get in 20 mins of pumping and if it's a good amount then your baby is probably getting plenty of milk if not, maybe try feeding your baby at breast then pumping when your baby is done at breast for at least 15 mins and feeding your baby a bottle of your ebm until your milk seems to be plenty then go every 2 feeding with pumping and slowly wean off the pumping so you don't cause you're milk supply to become low. hope this helps.posted 11/06/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
My girl went through the same thing. She started off being in the 50-75 percentile then she dropped to under 5th. My Dr. told me that some babies don't feed well enough, especially newborns and that they need to stay on the same breast for at least 20-30 minutes before you switch so they can fully empty the breast and get the hind milk which has more fat and calories. The Dr. ill let you know if it's necessary to wake her to feed her. My girl is 8 months now, breastfed exclusivley and is still around 5th percentile. We went to a specialist who said that as long as she's meeting her milestones, looks proportionate (she had rolly polly fat thighs!) bright eyed and she's eating regularly then there is nothing to worry about. As long as she's gaining weight and growing, she's fine but when they get really worried is when they stop growing in length or there is a huge discrepency in weight vs. length but like my Dr. said, some little baby has to be the 5th percentile! Take care!posted 11/04/2012 by Izabo
Just keep breastfeeding as often as baby wants. I would also talk to a local lactation consultant. You can find one by calling the labor and delivery floor where you had baby. Herbs can help increase your milk supply, try drinking Breastea from http://www.breastea.com I would also ask the LC about waking baby up. My lactation consultant told me to wake baby up to breastfeed. She said you don't want to go more than 4 hours overnight without nursing. It hurts your milk supply. Baby is still pretty young, so ask the LC about this when you talk to her.posted 11/04/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

In male baboons, higher social rank generally brings lower stress. But a new study shows that the highest-ranked (alpha) males have greater stress levels than the second-ranking (beta) males. The finding suggests that life at the very top can be more costly than previously thought.
A high social rank has advantages in many animal societies. Alpha males, for example, have first choice of food and father the most offspring. But a high rank also brings conflict and stress—and stress can take both a mental and a physical toll.
For 4 decades, a research team directed by Drs. Jeanne Altmann of Princeton and Susan Alberts of Duke has been studying a baboon society. For their new report, the NIH-funded researchers examined stress hormone levels in fecal samples from 125 male baboons over a period of 9 years. They compared these hormone levels with the animals' social rank.
The team discovered that high-ranking males generally had lower stress hormone levels than other males. But there was one major exception: Alpha males had much higher stress levels than beta males.
The researchers looked for differences that might account for the finding. Alpha males, they noted, spent more energy guarding fertile females. They also spent more energy threatening other males in order to retain their alpha status.
In any given group, alpha and beta males do most of the mating and father most of the offspring. But this study yielded a surprising downside that may affect health and wellness in alpha males.
"Baboons are not only genetically closely related to humans, but like humans they live in highly complex societies," says Dr. Laurence Gesquiere of Princeton, lead author of the new report. "An important insight from our study is that the top position in some animal—and possibly human—societies has unique costs and benefits associated with it."

CBS News Copy
Singer Chris Brown was arrested early Sunday in Washington and charged with felony assault, the Metropolitan Police Department has confirmed to CBS News.
The R&B star is still on probation from his 2009 beating of then-girlfriend Rihanna. If Sunday's arrest is determined to be a violation of his probation, the star could land in prison for up to four years.
D.C. police spokesman Paul Metcalf said the 24-year-old Brown got into a physical altercation with an adult male near the W Hotel located on K and 15th street around 4:25 a.m. local time.
The name of the alleged victim was not released but Metcalf said the man had been released from the hospital as of Sunday afternoon.
Chris Hollosy, a 35-year-old male who was with Brown, was also arrested in the incident and faces the same charge. Both men would be held until Monday, police said.
Brown has been dealing with legal problems since 2009, when he was arrested for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna and was first placed on probation.
Brown also got involved in highly publicized altercations with fellow singers Drake and Frank Ocean, but no criminal charges were filed in those incidents.
Earlier this month, the promoter of four Chris Brown concerts in Canada scheduled this summer canceled the events after consulting with Brown and in light of his recent personal and health-related issues.
The R&B star had his probation reinstated in early August after he was involved in an alleged hit-and-run accident. He recently reached a civil compromise with the driver of the car.
Brown also suffered a seizure earlier this month.

For Immediate Release:
September 19, 2012
Greater New Bedford Allies awards $126,000 in grants to address health disparities through community health outreach workers
Funding is made possible by Southcoast Hospitals through community benefits program
Coastline Elderly Services Inc., the Immigrants' Assistance Center Inc. and the YWCA of Southeastern Massachusetts have each been awarded $21,000 per year for two years to address health disparities among underserved populations, particularly relating to cancer screenings and prevention. This will be accomplished by expanding the capacity of CHWs in the region. Coastline Elderly Services will partner with the Greater New Bedford Community Health Center for its project.
Funding for the grants is through Southcoast™ Hospitals Group's Community Benefits Program and the Community Health Initiatives provision of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's Determination of Need (DoN) program. The DoN funding is linked to Southcoast's Centers for Cancer Care project and the opening of a radiation oncology program in Fairhaven.
"Greater New Bedford Allies is a vital resource in our community for collaboration and coordination of health and social services," said Dr. Barbara Acksen, GNB Allies Chairman. "Addressing health disparities has been a major focus of our organization for the past several years and we are excited that this project will make a real impact on the health and wellness of vulnerable populations in our region."
Keith A. Hovan, President & CEO of Southcoast Health System and Southcoast Hospitals Group, noted the projects reflect Southcoast's commitment to invest in community services and programs that help prevent illness and promote good health, particularly among residents who have barriers to accessing health care.
"Community health outreach workers play an increasingly vital role in our health care system," Hovan said. "We are excited to help expand the role of CHWs right here on the South Coast."
Each of the three award recipients have developed their own pilot program that will utilize Community Health Workers to provide outreach, education and linkage to medical services to underserved populations in the Greater New Bedford region. Each pilot will work in partnership each other, and with GNB Allies, Southcoast Health System, the Massachusetts Association of Community Health Workers and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to ensure that each program has the appropriate tools and resources required to successfully achieve its goals and the needs of the community.
The pilot programs will also be supported by a two-year, $70,000 Community Health Worker training and technical assistance grant through the Southcoast funding. The Area Health Education Center (AHEC) of Southeastern Massachusetts will provide core competencies and specialized cancer training for up to 25 Community Health Workers in Greater New Bedford. In addition, the AHEC will provide technical assistance for the pilot programs as well as assist with the development of a regional network of CHWs.

Super Bowl 48 matches up the teams that most thoroughly dominated their respective conferences this season, as the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks advanced with conference championship wins on Sunday.
While the Seahawks opened as short favorites across Las Vegas, there was heavy early action on the Broncos, and within about 30 minutes of original numbers being posted, Denver became the favorite all over town.
"As soon as we posted it (Seattle -1.5), we immediately got Denver action, both large and small," said South Point sports book director Bert Osborne, who moved Denver to the 1-point favorite within 18 minutes of putting the game on the board, to -2 later Sunday evening, and then to -2.5 on Monday.
The early line movement at other Vegas bet shops has been similar.
The LVH SuperBook gave the Seahawks the most respect, opening them a 2-point favorite, but adjusted the game to a pick 'em shortly thereafter. By Monday morning, Denver was -1.5 at the LVH.
"Broncos support continues to come in," SuperBook assistant manager Jeff Sherman noted on Twitter, upon the decision to move the game to a pick 'em.
"We thought Seattle should have been -2 just because we think they're better prepared than Denver to play in the possible conditions at the Meadowlands," SuperBook VP Jay Kornegay told The Linemakers on Sporting News.
Coast Resorts went from pick 'em to Denver -2.5 within 25 minutes, and Station Casinos – the only book to open Denver as the favorite – was at -3 about 20 minutes later.
Cantor Gaming opened the game a pick 'em. William Hill and the Wynn both opened Seattle -1, and MGM Resorts posted -1.5. All those venues, though, were dealing Denver as the favorite within about a half an hour.
By Monday morning, the line sat between Denver -1.5 and -2.5.
The early money may be the result of bettors simply finding value with the underdog in a game between two evenly-matched clubs.
"I firmly believe if the line had opened Broncos -2½, it would be Seattle -1 everywhere right now," tweeted Chris Bennett, a colleague of Kornegay and Sherman at the LVH.
The two Super Bowl participants dominated the top of futures boards around Las Vegas all season, and this marks the first time since 2009 that the top two top seeds have advanced to title game.
Both squads have been profitable bets. The Seahawks are 12-6 ATS on the season, while the Broncos own an 11-6-1 spread record.
The Super Bowl is set for Sunday, Feb. 2, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
The total
The total opened as low as 47 (LVH), and as high as 48.5 (Wynn). The LVH adjusted to 47.5 nearly immediately Sunday night, per Sherman, and then to 48 on Monday.
"This total is kind of low for the Super Bowl – and Denver," said Osborne noting that 48 is the lowest total posted on the Broncos all season. "The sharps are going to have a field day with this one, as they'll likely let the public drive this one up (and then bet the UNDER)."
This figures to be a classic matchup of offense vs. defense, as it pits Denver's Peyton Manning-led high-powered attack against the stout Seattle D, and the differing styles are reflected in the teams' O/U counts. The Broncos are 11-7 to the OVER this season – neither of their playoff game have gone OVER – while 12 of Seattle's 18 games have stayed UNDER, including both in the postseason.
With the game in the northeast, handicappers and bookmakers alike will be keeping a close watch on the weather as we approach game day.
According to AccuWeather, we can expect a high of 32 degrees and a low of 22, with snow showers possible, on Super Bowl Sunday.
A good matchup for Vegas?
The Manning storyline figures to benefit TV ratings and betting handle alike. Broncos vs. Seahawks, though, is probably not the first matchup Fox executives or Vegas bookmakers would have chosen.
"The 49ers would have been ideal for us in theory because there are a lot of 49ers fans down here," said Osborne. "But this is the Super Bowl, and it really doesn't matter who is playing. We're going to write a lot to it."
Last season, the 49ers helped spur a Nevada Super Bowl record of $98.9 million in handle, even though they played the Ravens, not exactly the sexiest team in the league. The previous record was $94.5 million handled for the 2006 Super Bowl between the Steelers and Seahawks. In both instances, it was more about the economy booming rather than the teams that were playing.
This story has been updated since its original posting.

FCC must protect consumers from cramming fraud and abuses
Coalition: Telecommunications
A coalition of consumer groups, with Consumer Action, urged the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to adopt its proposed rules on cramming or to, at the very least, strongly consider more aggressive action such as banning wireline third-party billing.
Below is an excerpt from the letter:
In response to the Cramming NPRM, the Commission received initial comments from a wide range of consumer and public interest groups, federal and state law enforcement agencies, public utility advocates, third-party service providers, billing aggregators, local exchange carriers (LEC's) and wireless carriers. Among virtually all commentators there was overwhelming consensus that cramming is a problem that deserves the Commission's attention. However, there was a clear demarcation as to what the Commission should do to address the issue. On one side, consumer and public interest groups, state attorneys general, utility consumer advocates and the Federal Trade Commission urged the Commission to adopt its proposed rules at the very least, and strongly consider more aggressive action such as banning wireline third-party billing. On the other side, the various participants in the third-party billing ecosystem – LEC's, wireless carriers, third-party service providers and billing aggregators – urged the FCC to allow the status quo to endure or, at the very least, allow industry participants the flexibility to address cramming through light-touch regulation.
Public Interest Commenters believes that the status quo is unacceptable. The record in this proceeding clearly demonstrates that cramming fraud hurts millions of consumers. More than a decade has passed since the industry promised to get its "house in order" and reign in the crooks that perpetrate cramming fraud. Unfortunately, as the Senate Commerce Committee's investigation of cramming vividly illustrated, the practice has only intensified as fraudsters learned to evade industry countermeasures. Far from reigning in the problem, evidence suggests that the three major actors in the third- party billing ecosystem – LEC's, billing aggregators and third-party service providers – continue to turn a blind eye to the rampant abuse of the third-party billing system by fraudsters.
The time has come for the Commission to take more aggressive action to address cramming once and for all. This is a solvable problem. Wireline third-party billing for so-called "enhanced" services is a hopelessly broken billing model. Recent legislative action in Vermont should be a model for common-sense consumer protection regulations
that allow legitimate third-party billed services while prohibiting third-party billing for services that bear little or no relation to the underlying wireline telephone service.
While the scope of cramming fraud – at this time - is not as great on wireless telephone bills, addressing cramming on wireline bills should not preclude the Commission from considering how wireless consumers can be better protected. Sensible disclosure rules and consideration of an opt-in rule for third-party billed charges could do much to prevent the epidemic of wireline cramming fraud from migrating to wireless services.
Finally, the Commission should refrain from adopting rules that preempt stronger state consumer protections against cramming.

Easy win for Vettel at Indian GP
Oct 28 2012
Vettel crossed the chequered flag ahead of Ferrai's Fernando Alonso followed by Red Bull teammate Mark Webber.
McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button finished fourth and fifth respectively. After finishing the race Vettel stood on top of his car to face the applauding crowd.
"It has been incredible. To come here both years, get the pole and win the race is fantastic. It is a very special Grand Prix. I don't know what it is about this circuit but I really like the flow of it," added Vettel after winning the race.
Vettel had won pole position in Saturday's qualifying match.
The circuit wore a festive look as fans crowded around the stands in anticipation of a thriller. But right from the beginning, one got a sense where the loyalties of most fans lay, and Vettel didn't disappoint them by holding on to his domination. Vettel also won the inaugural Indian Grand Prix held last year. Vettel won the race by margin of 9.4 seconds.
It is not easy to fight Red Bull but we will never give up. Well done Red Bull and Sebastian but we want to be happy in Brazil, not only here. I am sure we will do it," said Alonso.
Mark Webber who had a good start had to settle in for third place due to problems with the Kers power boost system. Michael Schumacher's car has rear right tyre puncture at the start of the race.
Vettel now has 240 points, 13 more than Alonso with three races left in the season. The next race is on November 4 in Abu Dhabi. India`s Narain Karthikeyan, who had problems in brakes, finished 21st. He had finished 17th last year.

|School musical takes crowd on journey
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 19 May 2011 17:06
Brothers Grimm fairy tales were relived last weekend when Wauneta-Palisade students performed 'Into the Woods, Jr.' for this year's high school musical. Shown at the Wauneta gymnasium on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the musical intertwines several classic children's narratives, such as 'Cinderella', 'Rapunzel' and 'Little Red Riding Hood'. The musical, directed by WP music teachers Aaron and Sara Behrends, brought large crowds at each of its three showings. (Wauneta Breeze Photos | Josh Sumner)
Wau-Pal actors Logan Bischoff, Jacob Maris, Alondra Almanza and Will Bartlett get into character during last Sunday's performance of 'Into the Woods, Jr.'. A cast of 26 WP students were assisted by their peers, teachers and parents in creating the props and costumes that brought the production to life.
Jenna Jutten and Chris Bartels pleased the crowd, starring as the Baker's Wife and the Baker, respectively.
Sheyla Christner, Stephanie Brown and Jonee Maris played the roles of Cinderella's family at last weekend's high school musical performance of "Into the Woods, Jr."
Landon Jutten, above, and John Christner, below, were the narrators for this year's musical.

asset management company, alternate funding firm and the bank.
The foreign shareholding of 53% in IDFC will need to brought below 50% within the next 18 months and to achieve this, the company will offer preferential shares to domestic investors though no investors have yet been approached.
Lall explained that the process of establishing a bank would take nine years with the first three years spent on becoming compliant with RBI guidelines as also experimenting with new approaches. The next three years would be used to consolidate IDFCs learnings during the first phase, while the final three years would see a return to sustained growth and profitability.
Asked what the bank would be called, he said, We are very boring people, so for now we will stick with the IDFC Bank name. But maybe crowdsourcing a new name through a competition may be a good idea.
As on December 31, 2013, the company had a loan book of Rs 54,552 crore and its net worth stood at Rs 15,250 crore. Its capital adequacy stood at 24.8% (of which tier-I was 22.5%) and its net interest income was Rs 2,036 crore at the end of the December quarter. IDFCs growth has been driven by the substantial investment requirements of the infrastructure sector in India, combined with the growth in the Indian economy over the last several years. Its largest shareholders include the government of India (17.2%), followed by Sipadan Investments (Mauritius) at 10%, LIC at 6.8% and RBS with 6.4%.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX look for a new bankruptcy attorney to re-open the case. How would we go about filing a claim of negligence against the original attorney that mishandled our case?
Thank you. The attorney that stated in a recent email that it was the creditors responsibility to respond to the letter of intent. He said they did not respond so he did not re-affirm. This doesn't make sense to me as I would assume there has to be some logical process and due diligence on the attorney's part to ensure the bankruptcy was filed in the way we wanted and we paid him for. I fail to understand why he assumed that since there was no response from the 2 creditors that no further action was needed. Ultimately, we are just wanting to understand what the normal process is and who (the attorney or the creditors) were at fault for not taking the proper actions or correspondence so we can get this resolved. Both of them are telling us that it was the other party's fault.
That is what we suspected. Thank you for confirming that and all of your help. At least we have some direction now. We appreciate your feedback!!

Blog: Speed demon Agbonlahor return will feel like new signing!
4th Sep 2012
Paul Lambert worked hard with chief executive Paul Faulkner to bring in Joe Bennett, Jordan Bowery, Ashley Westwood and Christian Benteke in the final days of the transfer window.
But the return to full fitness of star striker Gabby Agbonlahor must feel like a new signing in itself.
Agbonlahor not only lives and breathes the claret and blue cause but also offers something unique to the Villa fold - sparkling pace.
Matt Lowton summed it up perfectly when asked who the quickest player at the club was, saying: "Gabby Agbonlahor, without a shadow of a doubt!
"In one game in USA, I think it was Chicago, he hit the ball past a defender and chased it down. The defender looked like he was in reverse.
"It was astonishing! He's unbelievably quick!"
Lambert is looking for a passing mentality from his troops, an eagerness to get on the ball in all positions and be able to play soundly.
But he knows that a key attribute in unsettling opposition defences is pace. It's a killer trait to have in your team - and Agbonlahor offers it in abundance.
Lambert is more than aware of Agbonlahor's importance going-forward and mapped it out after the match at Newcastle.
"Gabby coming back is a major plus. You're not going to catch him if he gets a run at you, that's for sure," said the boss.
"It was a big bonus to have him back. I thought he was exciting - and it's exciting for me to get him back. His speed is incredible.
"Losing Gabby was a blow for us. He's a big player.
"He was playing very well in pre season so that was the disappointing thing in losing him.
"His pace and strength are major pluses for the side."
Agbonlahor is hailed as Bolt-esque in football circles but Lambert will be aware, having worked with him on the training ground, that the forward offers much more than scintillating speed.
Lambert has called for solidarity, spirit and an eagerness to work your socks off for the side - to harass and harry when you haven't got the ball, even the forwards!
That's another principle element of Agbonlahor's game. Anyone who has seen him play for Villa year on year will know that laziness is not in his vocabulary.
As strikers go, Agbonlahor is probably one of the most hard-working in the business.
Those who witnessed the forward's careering chase back to help his defence in the first game of the previous campaign against Fulham are party to that fact.
No question, Lambert will have sought Agbonlahor out after the Newcastle match to say 'it's good to have you back'. That's if he could catch him, of course!

What drove the SEC to overhaul its rules to make compensation disclosure more complete and transparent was investors' perception that management and shareholder interests were not aligned with respect to executive compensation, and that disclosure under the old rules was frequently incomplete or not clear. The first examples of disclosure under the new rules were included in registration and proxy statements filed in late 2006 and early 2007. Despite the new rules' mandate that disclosure be "clear, concise and understandable," some observers believed the proxy statement disclosures during the first year under the new rules were anything but straightforward. In general, the disclosures included a greater quantity of information than previously, but observers criticized the complexity and length of the disclosures. Others, includingSEC Chairman Christopher Cox, have argued that the average investor is unlikely to have the motivation or ability to wade through long, jargon-filled disclosures.
In August and September of 2007, the SEC provided comment letters to 350 of the largest companies following a review of their disclosures under the new rules. On October 9, 2007, the SEC also released a report synthesizing its comment letters and outlining the principal areas of disclosure that it believes require improvement.
The SEC's comment letters and report indicate areas of disclosure on which the agency is focused. They should guide companies as they prepare for the upcoming 2008 proxy statement season. The primary areas of SEC comment were:
Compensation discussion and analysis. The analysis calls for a comprehensive discussion of the key factors underlying compensation policies and decisions relating to a company's top executives. The compensation and disclosure analysis should, while including specific required elements, put the compensation that is disclosed in the rest of the proxy statement into context, be written in plain English and avoid "boilerplate." In its comment letter and report, the SEC focused primarily on the compensation and disclosure analysis, indicating that companies generally needed to improve both the substance of the disclosure and manner of presentation. With respect to substance, the SEC indicated that the analysis must be focused on "how" and "why" companies arrived at specific decisions and policies regarding executive compensation and not merely on description of processes and amounts.
Manner of presentation. One of the SEC's goals for the new rules was for proxy statements to offer information to investors in a form that is easy to understand. The SEC encouraged companies to include executive summaries, tables, charts and bullet-point disclosures to aid the reader's understanding. The SEC also reiterated the importance of plain-English principles and urged companies to replace boilerplate and complex, technical language with more specific analysis presented in a simple way.
Performance targets. The new rules require companies to disclose corporate and individual performance targets if the targets are a material element of the company's compensation policies and decisions, unless disclosure would result in competitive harm. The SEC found that disclosure in this area was particularly lacking, and issued more comments on performance targets than any other disclosure topic. Where performance targets appeared material but were not disclosed, the SEC asked companies to include the targets or demonstrate that disclosure of the targets could cause competitive harm. Where companies omitted targets on the basis that including them would cause competitive harm, the SEC frequently asked for more specific disclosure of the difficulty or likelihood of attaining target-level performance.
Benchmarking. For companies that disclose that they have used compensation information from other companies to determine their own compensation levels, the SEC requires that companies identify the benchmark and, if applicable, its components. The SEC asked companies to include a more detailed explanation of how they used comparative compensation information and how that comparison affected compensation decisions. For instance, companies should disclose which other companies were used for benchmarking and why they were selected.
How the new rules have affected compensation practices
Some companies are changing their executive compensation practices because of the new disclosure requirements. Common areas of change include:
Redesigning perquisite programs. The new rules highlight perquisites and personal benefits offered to executives by requiring identification and quantification of more perquisites than previously had been the case. As a result, some companies have re-examined the perquisites they offer and have sought to eliminate or modify them to avoid disclosure or to make their programs more acceptable to investors. From a procedural perspective, some companies have also implemented more systematic controls and methods of tracking the aggregate incremental costs of perquisites.
Pay for performance. Companies have long maintained that they pay executives based on performance. Because the new rules increase the visibility of performance targets and bonus formulas, some companies have placed renewed emphasis on ensuring that the amount of compensation paid to executives is linked closely to corporate and individual performance.
Change-in-control and post-termination benefits. In response to the increased visibility under the new rules of payouts to executives following a change of control or termination of employment, some companies have re-examined and modified their change-in-control and post-termination programs. Because changes to these programs have recently been required to comply with the new Section 409A tax rules on deferred compensation, some companies have taken the opportunity to implement other changes.
Outlook for second-year disclosure
Although many companies struggled with the substantial requirements of the new rules in the first year of proxy statements, disclosures should improve in the second year now that processes for providing this information are in place and the SEC has provided further guidance. These rules were the first significant revisions in the area of executive compensation disclosure in more than 10 years and, in the SEC's own words, represented a "thorough rethinking" of the previous regime. Therefore, gray areas and difficulties in making changes are to be expected. Companies should look to the SEC's comment letters and report as a guide to improve disclosure in the second year.

Angry Birds Cheetos 2 Mini Game Has Just Been Unveiled
Rovio has just made one of the crunchiest and… cheesiest launches! In fact, for those recalling the first Angry Birds Cheetos game, which was unveiled a year ago, this new version may not be so surprising, but the truth is that it will definitely draw much attention by the millions of Angry Birds fans, at the same time paying tribute to a great collaboration between the Finnish company and Chester Cheetah & Cheetos.
So, which are the most notable features of this new Angry Birds version? Well, first of all, its levels are fresh and vividly colored, challenging you for new adventures against the evil Pigs. Three of these levels are available for free play, while there are six more (the "premium" ones) which require credits to be unlocked. To get those credits, you have to look for entering codes that are offered on special packages of Frito-Lay products (mostly available in Russia and neighboring countries – see also below).
Then, there are the new "Power Ups"; these are now in the form of packages of Cheetos, that blow up on impact and scatter cheese pieces all over the place, maximizing your score! In the three free levels, those Cheetos packages are also free, but, in the "premium" levels, we doubt if they won't require spending some credits.
Unfortunately, there is a tiny problem with this new edition. Actually, Angry Birds Cheetos 2 is in… Russian, just as the first Cheetos version was in Turkish, a fact that, in any aspect, can cause some issues in terms of conveniently playing the game (unless of course you are Russian!); to deal with that issue, you can always use the translate option of Google Chrome. Apart from this detail, to play, log in with your email address and a password, or use your Facebook account; in case you choose the latter, you have to type in a username, also accepting the Terms and Conditions displayed.
So, enough talking! If you are already hungry for Cheetos, go directly to cheetos.angrybirds.com and take part in the yummiest Angry Birds edition so far! Walkthroughs will follow soon, so stay tuned!

The death of a relative affects the whole family including children. It is a natural response in families to want to protect children from the difficult circumstances the family is facing.
Children can access the counselling and social work services free of charge from Pilgrims Hospices before, during and after their relative's illness. Bereavement support is equally important for children.
When needed Pilgrims Hospices multi-professional team can provide resources and guidance to parents or carers to help them talk to the children in the family.
Forgotten Mourners study days are held termly and are designed to help people working with children and young people in education to address issues of bereavement and loss.

Ya know I'm a complex person ,but I can sum myself up in two words,"Sophisticated Redneck." These two words usually don't go together but hey as I stated I am complex person or maybe just an odd ball. I can never seem to choose which...
Anyway, if there is anything else you need to know just ask. I won't bite ,nor growl ,nor snarl ,nor gripe and most probably will text your ear off. Live long and prosper fellow gamers (or don't because I just massacred virtual you in a mp match and am practicing my evil cackle over your pixelated lifeless husk and going:DOWN,UP,DOWN)
Oh yeah almost forgot. Eleuthera means freedom in greek. I'm a big history buff.
Introducing Ellie's Random Pictures of Stuff:
-The picture speaks for itself...
-Have to give some love out for my favorite Marvel superhero(third overall favorite) Ms. Marvel. Not only does she look awesome in those pairs of boots(wish I could borrow a pair), she can also cuss you, zott you, and punch you until you pass out. Add to this that she has been a air force pilot, NASA security chief, Woman Magazine chief editor, US Air Force Special Operations intelligence agent, Department of Homeland Security Chief of Tactical Operations, salesgirl, and a major part of the Avengers while somehow under the age of 80.
-Well since all of you guys get to show pictures of your favorite hot galls, I get to showcase my favorite hot guys. First off- Balthier (Final Fantasy 12)
Balthier in my opinion is the embodiment of a lady's man. He's savvy, mysterious, and has cute bangles on his hand. What else does a girl need? Well maybe a bit more facial hair.. Plus he does have one heck of a irresistible suave voice.. *Smiles dreamily*
-Second off- Jean Luc Picard (Sir Patrick Stewart)
Umm, is it weird having a crush on a guy that's old enough to be my grandfather? Other than being handsome (even without much hair), Sir Patrick Stewart also wins my favorite male actor category. He wins mainly because Jean Luc Picard is one heck of a starship captain and because his inhumane ability to age slowly.. Seriously, this guy hasn't changed in thirty years..

The facts are indisputable. There is more data supporting the benefits of Conceal Carry than there is supporting global warming. If you choose ignorance, in light of all the evidence, in order to bolster your irrational fear of guns, you are a greater threat to society than any gun owner.
Since I just started adding the channel reruns are fine with me.
HELGA: Where are you going?
HAGAR: To sign a peace treaty with the King of England.
HELGA: Then why take all those weapons?
HAGAR: First we gotta negotiate...
Yeah, kind of tired of reruns too. Watched Shooting Gallery last night and they did that segment on Sig and their factory again. I will admit that I'm like a little kid when I get to see inside of those buildings and watch how they put firearms together.

Antoinette Beenders created regal fishtail braids for the Christian Siriano Autumn/Winter 2013 show at New York Fashion Week.
Show: Christian Siriano
Stylist: Antoinette Beenders and the Aveda team
The inspiration: "Christian and I have collaborated for many seasons," said Antoinette. "This collection is inspired by the golden age of Russian Opera and Saint Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre. The clothing is rich and opulent, so we designed a sophisticated, feminine look to properly complement it. From the front, the look has a lovely roundness. The braids at the back evoke refinement and glamour, reminiscent of a Russian girl dressed for an evening at the opera. I'm thrilled with how it all turned out."
The look: Glossy fishtail braids pinned around the head.
Get the look: Prep hair with Aveda Pure Abundance Style Prep to give hair some texture and grit. Blow-dry hair straight.
Create a clean centre part from forehead to nape using a tail comb. Make an inverted fishtail braid on each side of the head, beginning at the crown and working to the back of the ear. Secure the end of each braid with an elastic band.
Tame flyaways with Aveda Air Control Hair Spray. Add some fullness by gently massaging braids.
Fold the braids over one another across the back of the head, just above the nape, in a criss-cross fashion. Tuck ends under and secure with bobby pins. Finish with a misting of Aveda Air Control Hair Spray.
Key products: Aveda Control Force Firm Hold Spray, Air Control, Pure Abundance Style Prep.

1932 Ford Roadster - Early IronWritten by Eric Geisert on February 14, 2014
Darryl Tinnerstet
1932 Ford Roadster
McCleary, Washington
Back in 1965 Darryl Tinnerstet was 15 years old, and he'd just bought his first car. It was a channeled Model A roadster outfitted with a fuel-injected 327 backed to a four-speed, and the roadster's doors had been welded shut. When Darryl saved enough money to get it painted, he took the car to a local shop for some color, and they told him they could also add a door for him, so Darryl said "OK."
When he came back to pick up his ride, they had covered the car in the agreed color (a red metalflake), but the door they added to the body was for a Model T, not a Model A! Over the next few years Darryl found the 1930 to be both fast and fun enough, and it served as his daily driver for a few years before he robbed the engine for another project. Darryl kept the roadster around for 24 years, but he finally let it go when he started thinking about the perils of his son, Darren, was about 9 years old, wanting to drive it one day.
Darryl promised himself he would have another roadster someday and, not only done to the quality the first one had never achieved, but also be suitable and safe for his son to drive. After several other street rods, restoration attempts, and a side step into the strange world of DeLorean sports cars, Darryl built an all-steel 1932 Ford highboy roadster in 2006 that captured the spirit of what he had always wanted in 1965. The new car is set up with a mild Chevy 327, backed to Muncie four-speed, and finished with a red interior and a matte black paint.
On its very first outing to the drag races in Shelton, Washington, Darryl got the rare opportunity to take a photo of his current roadster parked next to his first roadster, which is still owned by the friend he sold it to.
And, in June 2013, Darren asked if he could use a car as the getaway vehicle for his upcoming wedding. Darryl had offered the choice of the 1932, a 1954 Chevy sedan, or a bright red C5 Corvette roadster, but the betrothed both picked the 1932, which was hidden on the big day until they were ready to leave, providing a perfect ending to a very memorable day.

In 1965, Darryl was 15 years old when he bought his first car: a channeled Model A roadster. The original doors had been welded shut, so when the paint shop offered to add a door before they sprayed the red metalflake, Darryl saidHere's the roadster in 1989 when Darryl sold it to a friend, still sporting the top he made in 1966 (when he was 16) from electrical conduit that split in the middle for easy storage. The upholsterer who covered it said the top and side curtains would last a couple of years, but they are still with the car 48 years later!After getting his new ride done, Darryl took it to the drags in Shelton, WA, where he found his original roadster, which prompted him to record the occasion for posterity.You can't go wrong with a traditionally inspired pleated red interior highlighted with white piping.In June 2013, Darryl's son, Darren, used the roadster as the getaway vehicle at his wedding with his new wife, Kandra, riding shotgun.

A film that made a splash at Sundance is now getting its due at Cannes, with "Take Shelter," the widely-praised sophomore feature from "Shotgun Stories" director Jeff Nichols, aired as part of the Critic's Week strand of the festival. And hot on its heels, the LA Times reports that the helmer is working on a new project, entitled "Mud." The paper's source indicates that Aaron Ryder, a producer of "Memento," will also be involved as the film moves forward. Sarah Green, a long-time producer of Terrence Malick's movies, including "The Tree of Life," will also produce.
According to this source, but not verified by Ryder because talks are still ongoing, Chris Pine is close to joining as the film's lead. It marks another smart choice for the actor, who, while he hasn't immediately capitalized on the success of "Star Trek," also hasn't taken the tentpole-only route of some of his contemporaries, mixing up actioners like "Unstoppable" and "This Means War" with more dramatic roles, like the upcoming drama "Welcome to People," alongside Elizabeth Banks, Michelle Pfeiffer and Olivia Wilde.
Ryder described the film as reminiscent of "Stand By Me," about two 14-year-old boys who find an adult fugitive and must help him escape off an island in the Mississippi. Pine would play Mud, the fugitive, a character with seemingly quite a bit of depth, "a dangerous criminal and a character worthy of redemption." There was no indication by the source of how far along the story was, whether still in the pitch stage or if a full screenplay had been written -- Pine is committed to the "Star Trek" sequel later in the year, so the film will have to work around that schedule. Nichols did write 'Shelter,' a story about a family whose father becomes obsessed with the apocalypse, so he'll probably lend his screenwriting talents to "Mud" as well.
The project comes from the company FilmNation, run by Glen Basner. The company hopes to move from selling distribution rights -- they just sold international rights for Rian Johnson's "Looper" and John Hillcoat's "The Wettest County in the World" -- to financing and producing their own films with "Mud." "We're not interested in re-creating the movies from the past," Basner said. "We want to create new ones for the future." Basner also indicated that FilmNation would use smaller budgets, steering away from studio material.

PICTURING THE '50s
, acclaimed Los Angeles Mirror photographer Neil Clemans takes us from Day 1 at the paper, until the day the presses stopped for the last time in 1962.
He regales us with stories about Debbie Reynolds at her first screen test, triple-D Main Street Follies striptease artist Tempest Storm,
author Ayn Rand and her mirrored bedroom, Sammy Davis Jr. partying at home with Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, and Marilyn Monroe, and Elvis Presley on the road to movie stardom.
Mixed in is a glimpse of Candy Barr, babe of Hollywood tough guy Mickey Cohen; screen legend Marlon Brando acting out; and skullduggery at the Los Angeles Police Department. It is "the way things really were" from the viewpoint of an observer whose job was to create a pictorial record of the times.

I had my third crash in a year a couple of weeks ago.
The first crash was last November. I was riding through a sandy wash in the Tour de Tucson (the second wash, for those that know the ride). The sand caught my front wheel and twisted it. I went over the bars and landed on the back of my shoulder.
The second crash was in late January at a crit. I was following a teammate to the front of the group on a straightaway at the start of the last lap. Someone heard the last lap bell ring and jumped for the sprint (thinking it was the end of the race). They jumped sideways into my teammate, who went down in front of me. I ran over him and went down too. This one knocked me out for around 15 seconds and when I came to I had no idea what was going on. I was taken to the hospital but in the end there was little damage to my body except a fractured nose, a concussion and minor road rash.
The third crash was a couple of weeks ago. We were supposed to be doing crit practice but there was a concert at the park we were going to use. We decided to do some paceline work instead. With a pretty stiff crosswind, we were in a single echelon going between 28-30 mph. The pace slowed slightly and I rolled up a little bit - too much it turned out. There was a gust of wind from the side. The people in front moved slightly to the left, but the guy in front of me (#3 in line) swerved pretty hard to the left and clipped my front wheel. Down I went. Hit my head again, but I was just a little fuzzy afterward. Mostly road rash, but ground one of my knuckles down quite a bit. Skipped my next race because of it. I actually have video of it here: http://youtu.be/6anYkG1XNfw
So what is the max number of crashes you've been in during a 12-month period? I know some crashes can be avoided and some can't. Looking back, I could have probably avoided all three with appropriate caution. Did they discourage you? The latest one has been pretty disheartening. I've been told by the more experienced cat 2 riders that it wasn't my fault, but I know I could have been a bit quicker on the brakes to ensure spacing instead of rolling up. Then again, it seems there's always SOMETHING that could have been done to avoid a crash.

Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer and Tommy Lee Jones revisit some blasts from their pasts in "The Family," a violent action comedy about a mob family in France thanks to the witness-protection program.
De Niro does a little "Analyze This" as Giovanni Manzoni, who ratted out his mob pals back in Brooklyn and now has a $20 million price on his head. He is, he narrates, "a nice guy" who just has to control "my sadistic urges" better. He's prone to beating people senseless or to death over things like poor service, "disrespect" and the like. And he's in France.
Pfeiffer tones down her "Married to the Mob" turn as Maggie, the long-suffering wife, moving to yet another town where these people — "The Blakes," they're called this time — need to fit in. But her encounters with rude French salesclerks bring out the practicing pyromaniac in her.

- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple

- Ivar's looks to sell, lease back two venerable restaurant sites
Most Read Stories
Their kids — Belle (Dianna Agron) and Warren (John D'Leo) — have another high school to reconnoiter, master and have their way with.
And Jones is a milder-mannered version of his U.S. marshal characters as a government agent who tries to keep these four alive and keep the incidents with the locals to a minimum.
Everybody speaks English, which helps the kids and their "fuggedaboutit" parents adjust. Except they don't. The movie also lacks much in the way of "Frenchness," which is a pity.
And even though the cast is first-rate, "The Family" tends to lurch between laughs, with the most reliable humor coming from the Blakes' over-the-top violence as a way of solving every problem.
Director Luc Besson aims his movie at anyone who's ever held a grudge at an ill-mannered French waiter or clerk. If you like your wish-fulfillment payback served with a baseball bat, "The Family" is the French travelogue for you.
