Tennessee Shakespeare Company Stages Inside Dixon Gallery & Gardens It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play
Sponsored by FedEx Corporation
Memphis, TN (November 19, 2012) – – Tennessee Shakespeare Company (TSC), the Mid-South's professional classical theatre, presents the joyous stage version of It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play inside Dixon Gallery & Garden's Winegardner Auditorium from December 6-16 in Memphis.
Adapted by Joe Landry from the famous Frank Capra holiday film featuring Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey and Donna Reed as Mary Hatch, It's a Wonderful Life comes to stage-life in this 1946 radio play employing all the dialogue and characters from the film and played by a company of seven actors.
Directed by TSC's Stephanie Shine (Southern Yuletide; Romeo and Juliet), the production is generously sponsored by FedEx Corporation. The exclusive media sponsor is Commercial Appeal Media.
The Dixon Gallery auditorium is transformed into a 1946 remote radio station bandstand, complete with period holiday decorations, commercial jingles, and hand-made sound effects. The live broadcast features the company of radio actors both on and off the air, but the central focus is on the live broadcast of this "new" radio play.
In the play that the actors read, George Bailey has spent his entire life giving of himself to the people of Bedford Falls. He has always longed to travel but never did so in order to prevent rich skinflint Mr. Potter from taking over the entire town. All that has prevented him is George's modest loan company, The Bailey Building & Loan, which was founded by his generous father.
But on Christmas Eve, George's Uncle Billy loses the business's $8,000 while intending to deposit it in the bank. When the bank examiner discovers the shortage, George realizes that he will be held responsible, sent to jail, and the company will collapse -- finally allowing Potter to take over the town. Thinking that his wife, their young children, and others he loves will be better off with him dead, George contemplates suicide.
The prayers of Bedford Falls that night result in a gentle angel named Clarence coming to earth to help George. He shows George what Bedford Falls would be like if indeed he had never been born. What he sees is a Potter-controlled town sunken into depravation with all those George loves dead, ruined, or miserable. He realizes that he really has led a wonderful life – and the entire town honors and saves George that night in more ways than one.
"This beautiful story, adapted from Civil War historian Philip Van Doren Stern's short story, The Greatest Gift, is a great gift indeed," says Shine. "It gives us the opportunity to be reminded how connected our lives are in our community and how acts of kindness reverberate in ways we may never realize. What better gift for your loved ones than to experience this together?"
In partnership with TSC, Memphis' public radio station WKNO-FM 91.1 will broadcast TSC's Thursday, December 6 performance live to all its listeners. Listen for the show at 7:00 pm (C.S.T.) that night.
Each member of the company of actors plays a radio personality who, in turn, plays multiple characters in It's a Wonderful Life. Brad Kroeker plays announcer Freddie Filmore, who also reads Mr. Potter, Mr. Gower, Ernie the taxi driver, and Martini. Jim Eikner plays Harry "Jazzbo" Heywood, who also reads Clarence Oddbody, Uncle Billy, and Bert the cop.
Trevor Pittinger (Jake Laurents) reads George Bailey, and Amelia Hammond (Sally Applewhite) reads Mary Hatch.
Lorraine Cotten (Hope Merriwether) reads Zuzu, Matilda, Ruth, Mrs. Hatch, and Sadie Vance. Kim Justis (Lana Sherwood) reads Violet, Rose Bailey, Mrs. Thompson, and Janie. Jerry Kimble, Jr. (Dayton Parker) reads Joseph, Harry Bailey, Sam Wainwright, and Nick the barkeep.
Bruce Bui, of Ballet Memphis, provides the period costume design in his fourth season with the company, and Memphian Matt Strampe is the scenic and lighting designer.

- Join Us for Eudora Welty
- The Shakespeare Brunch is Back
- New Board Members and Officers for 2016-17
- TSC Announces Full Ninth Season
Join Us for the First Southern Literary Salon of the Season:
Eudora Welty: Mississippi Myth
January 27
We return to our popular Southern Literary Salon for a look at the ever-changing vision of the Pulitzer Prize-winning, life-long daughter of Jackson, Mississippi.
Please join us for Eudora Welty: Mississippi Myth at Nancy Copp's hidden though welcoming Germantown home on Friday, January 27 from 6:00-8:00pm.
The evening features fun Southern food, conversation, thirty minutes or so of readings from Welty's works, and a mixed spirit of the author's liking. Tickets for the Welty Salon only are $55 and include all of the above. Tickets for the Welty and Flannery O'Connor Salon (April 21), when purchased together, are only $100 (a savings of $10).
Curated and read by TSC artist Stephanie Shine, assisted by actors Dan McCleary, Jillian Barron, and Marquis Archuleta, Mississippi Myth will employ text from among Welty's works, likely including her short stories in A Curtain of Green, The Wide Net, and The Golden Apples, and the novels The Ponder Heart and award-winning The Optimist's Daughter.
Welty (1909-2011) described writing fiction as "a personal act of vision." She was widely popular as a writer and photographer from her lifelong home in Jackson, though her literary home seemed to be nestled in experimentation. Her vast skill-set ranged from comedy to tragedy, realistic to surreal, fiction to biography, fairy tale to history. Welty was recognized for her work with 40 major literary awards, 38 honorary doctorate degrees, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
"It had been startling and disappointing to me," wrote Welty, "to find out that story books had been written by people, that books were not natural wonders, coming up of themselves like grass. Yet regardless of where they come from, I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with them -- with the books themselves, cover and binding and the paper they were printed on, with their smell and their weight and with their possession in my arms, captured and carried off to myself. Still illiterate, I was ready for them, committed to all the reading I could give them ..."Read More

Tennessee Shakespeare Company
Announces Full Ninth Season of Plays and Educational Activities for 2016-17
(Memphis, TN; August 11, 2016) -- Tennessee Shakespeare Company, the Mid-South's professional, classical theatre, today announced its full 2016-17 season of plays, outreach programs, and Education initiatives in the Memphis area and beyond.
Launching TSC's ninth season is its first production of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. Directed by TSC Founder and Producing Artistic Director Dan McCleary, the adaptation will perform in the Wiener Theater on the campus of Hutchison School in East Memphis from September 20 through October 2. The play is produced in partnership with Hutchison. The cast of 20 actors features Broadway veteran Patrick Ryan Sullivan as Atticus Finch, Memphian Ainsley Geno as Scout, and the return of TSC favorite Tony Molina, Jr. as Rev. Sykes.
Early Bird tickets are on sale now for To Kill a Mockingbird: the first 24 seats sold to each performance will be located in the new Best Seats section of the theatre.
In the winter, TSC returns to Dixon Gallery & Gardens for the holiday season with an elegant, celebratory Much Ado About Nothing befitting the season of cheer. Shakespeare's romantic comedy, directed by McCleary, plays on the Winegardner Auditorium stage December 8-18.
The fun continues in early summer with Shakespeare's boisterous comedy of mistaken identities. The Comedy of Errors, produced in partnership with the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance, will play the U of M mainstage June 8-18, 2017.
The Southern Literary Salons return, featuring the works of Eudora Welty (Mississippi Myth) on January 27 and Flannery O'Connor (Georgia Gothic) on April 21. These literary parties in beautiful, private homes from 6:00-8:00 pm curate readings, light fare, and writer-specific libations.
Back by popular demand is The Shakespeare Brunch, featuring abbreviated, staged readings of a redemptive The Winter's Tale (November 20) and a provocative The Merchant of Venice (May 21) preceded by an expansive brunch buffet and bar. Acted by some of TSC's best-known actors, the Brunches run from 12:30-3:30 pm inside the elegant Memphis Hunt & Polo Club.
The season also includes the Eighth Annual Shakespeare Gala, bringing to Memphis a new Broadway headliner on Friday, March 10, 2017, at Germantown Performing Arts Center. The Gala, complete with lavish dinner and open bars located throughout the theatre, supports TSC's nationally-acclaimed Education Program.
This season, the Education Program significantly expands its anti-violence schools residency and performance schedule of The Romeo and Juliet Project. Nine actor/teaching-artists will work in over 20 schools, largely underserved, in Shelby County from September through February, reaching more than 6,000 students. Shakespeare's Greatest Hits, a fun 2-actor introduction to the playwright's essential scenes and soliloquies, will tour schools and theatres throughout the southeastern United States. Both productions are created and directed by TSC Education Director Stephanie Shine.
TSC's generous Mainstage title sponsors include FedEx; Dorothy O. Kirsch; Ernest, Pat, Martha, & Marian Kelly; Independent Bank; Tennessee Arts Commission; Ann and Wellford Tabor; and The University of Memphis.
TSC's season partners are Dixon Gallery & Gardens, Hutchison School, Shelby County Schools, St. George's Church, and the University of Memphis' Department of Theatre & Dance. The season is funded under a Grant Contract with the State of Tennessee.
"Our ninth season is a response both to the world's recent events and to our patrons' desires," says McCleary. "To Kill a Mockingbird is an American masterpiece of the 20th Century. It is time for each of us to pick up Harper Lee's novel and read or re-read it. In Much Ado About Nothing, we are a nation of peace at home and abroad, and in this dream we go pleasure-seeking. Still, uninhibited love is surprisingly difficult to give away in this environment, to both comedic and tragic effect. And in Comedy of Errors, famous for its physical and archetypal humor, we find ourselves in a world in which the mortal threat to immigrants cannot prevent this non-traditional family, even after years of separation, from making a heart-felt discovery.
"I am deeply grateful to our season sponsors, production partners, and over 300 donors who make professional, classical theatre and our education programming possible. The work we do with children in our schools is immediate, impactful, proven, and a powerful model for successful replication throughout the United States. We live in a time when the arts, and experiencing Shakespeare's plays, need to be at the center of our national educational curriculum, not subsisting on the fringes. They are not a luxury, they are for everyone. The works of William Shakespeare are our birthright, and if they are supported educationally and financially then we see first-hand how our children enthusiastically embrace his compassion, his poetry, and his open-hearted query of humanity."Read More

At the recent meeting of the Emery County Municipal Building Authority, Tracie Talbot from the State Attorney General's office was on hand to answer any questions concerning the Children's Justice Center proposed for Castle Dale. The announcement was made that the Emery County School District is prepared to deed over the property which they are donating for the construction of the center, to the county.
Shelley Wright from the Children's Justice Center gave Commissioner Gary Kofford, Commissioner Jeff Horrocks and MBA member Randy Jensen a copy of the proposed budget for the center in Castle Dale. Contained in this budget was a breakdown of their revenue from the state organizations and donations.
Talbot stated she feels it is safe to say the state funding to the center is secure and will remain at the same level which is between $28-30,000 per year. "It is also my feeling this is a more than adequate amount for the center," she said. She added the funding has been very stable in the past and anticipates it to remain the same.
Wright informed the MBA about the reason for wanting a center in Emery County. She said it causes many hardships to those who need their services to travel to Carbon County now. With the opening of the center in Emery County, it will alleviate many problems, and there are no plans to ever close the Emery County center in the future.
Commissioner Kofford informed the MBA about some structural modifications being implemented into the center. Several changes are being done to the structure for single dwelling code compliance which will make the structure permissible to sell as a home in the event of a default in the future.
Commissioner Horrocks moved to commit to the project of the Children's Justice Center to be constructed in Castle Dale. Jim Keele's construction class at Emery High School will construct the building and it is hoped they will begin when school begins in August. The county will now enter negotiations with the CJC for a contract for repayment of the note.
In other business conducted by the MBA, the bid was awarded for the remodeling project at the Huntington Airport. The bid for the two buildings was awarded to Patriot Steel Buildings in Colorado. It was agreed that Johansen and Tuttle will engineer the plans for the installation of the floor and utilities. Water lines and asphalt work will come out on separate bids at a later date. The MBA is hoping to have this project completed by October.

Pacific Blue Raises Some Fares Due to Fuel Costs07/07/2008
New Zealand airline Pacific Blue has announced increases to some international and domestic fares following the continuing rise in jet fuel prices.
Pacific Blue is raising fares on around half its international routes. The airline said the changes amount to an average increase of less than two percent across its international network.
As part of a fare review the airline is also reducing some domestic fares and raising others. The average increase across its domestic network is less than one percent.
Pacific Blue General Manager, Commercial, Adrian Hamilton-Manns, said that the airline had kept the increases as low as possible and confined to as few routes as possible.
"We're a low-fare airline so we're doing this reluctantly," he said. "However with jet fuel continuing to rise to over US$165 a barrel compared with around US$90 a year ago, such increases are a commercial reality."
The increases are effective for travel from 1 July.
About Pacific Blue, Polynesian Blue, and Virgin Blue Airlines
Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue, along with Australian domestic airline Virgin Blue, operate a fleet of 63 modern Boeing 737 and Embraer E-Jet aircraft flying to 22 Australian and eight international destinations including New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu

How It Fits (based on width D)
The Merrell Vapor Glove is a minimal feature, minimal neutral shoe designed for daily training and racing.
Comments: Best barefoot shoe on the market. Had to buy 1/2 size smaller than the merrell road glove. Good on track runs and long runs (10-20mi). I logged 600 miles so far and believe they will go another 600. I run mainly on grass. Flexible, durable, comfortable, light weight, a true barefoot shoe.
From: ClayFeet, Texas, USA
Comments: Ditto to Henry on the sizing. I am 9.5 in most shoes, 9.0 in Merrell/Inov-8, and 8.5 in the Vapor Gloves. If you get the size right, they are the perfect "barefoot" shoes, more flexible and less clunky than Altra Adams or VFF KSOs, and more comfy than Inov-8 Bare-X 180s. The Vibram outsole on this model is (I believe) the best outsole out of all the models Merrell, VFF, and NB Minimus have to offer, and I'm a big fan of all of those lines.
From: Chas, Cornelius, NC, USA
Comments: There's plenty of info out there on this shoe, but here's a tip: in my experience, these run bigger than some other Merrell shoes. On my feet, an 11 in the Vapor Glove fits like an 11.5 in the Trail Glove and the Road Glove (version 1). While running, they feel like a well-worn Trail Glove where the EVA has collapsed, but without the lugs. Very minimal and super light.

Jets Adjusted Corsi by Forward Line: The Role of Coaching Choices
Kevin McCartney
August 12 2013 06:02AM
Photo brilliance by thereturn at HF Boards
One of the challenges with measuring process-based metrics like corsi - a measure of possession and territory that correlates well with scoring chances - is that we have stats at the team level and at the individual level. It's a moving target to try to put these two levels of data into the context of a 5 on 5 game when individuals switch every 40-50 seconds at the desire of a person we don't measure. We've made huge strides - and the WOWY (With or Without You) data over at Hockey Analytics is part of that.
Another part of that was offered by Travis Yost at NHL Numbers the other week - team by team corsi according to forward tiers (Eastern Conf / Western Conf). Grouping forwards into lines by EV time on ice, Travis gives us a sense of how teams are built and shows very strong evidence that to win, teams need depth.
His methodology is sound in general - using even strength time on ice to sort out the 'tiers' of forwards - but hides an important reality about how the Jets were coached. Below we'll look at his chart for the Jets and compare it to a purposeful grouping of the forwards into approximate lines.
Your Winnipeg Jets
Graph by Travis Yost at NHL Numbers.
We start by looking at Travis's chart from his original post at NHL Numbers. This chart tells us a very interesting story about the Jets. For the confused - the red bar is the team's performance. It's just a tad over 49%. Put another way, it's a tad shy of breaking even. But with Travis's analysis, we see the variability in that by line for the first time. By his graph, the bottom six drags the team down, while the second line pulls the team along.
Of course, as Jets fans, we can all say conclusively without looking at any numbers that the second line did not pull us along. It's just a reality of the methodology, and interestingly, reveals that Claude Noel is not running his bench based on shot attempt differential.
Travis uses EV TOI to group the forwards, which Evander Kane leads by a quite a bit. Ladd is 4th on the team. You can see where I'm going. Tier one is Kane, Little, and Wheeler. Tier two is Ladd (the corsi monster), Jokinen, and Burmistrov - the leader in zone-start adjusted corsi on the team. Tier 3 is Antropov, Wellwood, and Wright - the team's worst by this metric. Finally, tier 4 is Tangradi, Thorburn, and Miettinen, owing to Slater's injury excluding him.
In tier 3, Wellwood's impressive 51.3% personal number is hidden by Wright's abysmal 44.3%. Meanwhile, tier 4 is buoyed by Tangradi (50%) against Miettinen's 2nd worst 46.5%. When organized this way, it looks like a sensible team. The bottom six is the bottom six because they are not as good at hockey. But we know that this isn't how the players were deployed, and Claude Noel's chosen lines show that he wasn't entirely aware of who was pushing results on his own team.
How did Noel use his forwards?
In tinkering with Travis Yost's work, I decided to do the same analysis but grouping the forwards in purposeful lines - the way they might be written on a depth chart. Of course, things were changed throughout the year, and injuries and additions made their mark. So I've put together 5 lines based on Left Wing Lock's reported most common line combinations and some common sense.
- Line 1: Ladd - Little - Wheeler
- Line 2: Kane - Jokinen - Miettinen
- Line 3: Wright - Antropov - Wellwood
- Line 4: Tangradi - Burmistrov - Santorelli
- Line 5: Wright - Slater - Thorburn
What we see here starts to fit with what we saw on the team. But what doesn't make sense is Claude Noel, who I think we can say confidently doesn't monitor shot attempts in building his roster.
Noel's two best forwards by corsi were given 2nd tier minutes at even strength (we know they also played special teams). We discussed the fact that Burmistrov played 30+ minutes with 12 different forwards this season, and yet maintained a very high individual zone-start adjusted corsi number of 51.5%. We continue to wonder at why he was benched for 4 games and had to play his way off the 4th line.
The Big Picture
Stepping away from just even strength minutes to examine the total ice time given to forwards by Noel, we see that Kane was a workhorse. His shifts were a full 4 seconds longer than any other forward, and 9 seconds longer than Wright - the bottom end of the left wingers by shift length. Kane creates quite a bit at a young age, but had an assortment of linemates in part because his shift lengths were out of rhythm with the rest of the team. Olli Jokinen's season is not news, and we can see that Noel was aware enough to move Kane up and down to alter his matchups and give him some different looks.
The case of James Wright
Photo by Dinur.
The most curious case is that of James Wright. His shift length averaged just 42 seconds, but Noel gave him the same even strength minutes and 2.5 more total shifts per game than Tangradi, despite considerably worse results at puck possession and territorial advantage. In fact, he was given as many shifts as Kyle Wellwood - the playmaker just one season removed from his 47 point season who got 36 minutes of powerplay time in 48 games on the league's worst powerplay, a discipline where the team was desperate for goals and lacked a clear second unit. Of course, Wright's PK time affects this, but as he was the team's worst PK forward by 4 on 5 corsi%, he can hardly be called a specialist.
Moreover, a full season of data can hide bigger differences. We can watch Wright become a coach favourite, and then lose his minutes to Line 4 above once Santorelli is added. Let's have a look.
As all these players missed games, the above chart is just their personal game number, not the official game number.
In his 13th game, Wright is given 23 shifts and takes Tangradi's minutes until his 29th game, after which they roughly break even. We can see their shifts vary in proportion as they were battling for the same ice time. Wellwood was battling for different minutes, but I put him on to prove a point. That point being that the coach gave his worst possession player more minutes than his better possession players.
The line of Tangradi - Burmistrov - Santorelli (Line 4 above) really took off together at the end of the year and we see Tangradi's minutes grow in chart 3. We don't have 3-person WOWY data currently, but we know that if we were able to isolate their ice time together, that 51% would be higher. Yet, still Wright earned minutes on a team trying to fight for a playoff spot. Santorelli earned just one more shift per game than Wright on average, who by this point had shown his basement dwelling quality.
Maybe the most damning statement about Wright's season can be seen in the fact that he doubles on Line 3 and Line 5 in chart 2. The team's preferred 4th line (Line 5 above) was a bit of a drag on the numbers, but we can still put most of the blame on James Wright, who drags the otherwise 50% duo of Antropov and Wellwood down on Line 3, and, shockingly, even drags down Slater and Thorburn, who are a combined 47.25% as a pair. Wright's personal zone-start adjusted corsi rate of 44.3% is last among forwards with 50 minutes played, and well behind Miettinen's second worst personal number of 46.5%, and even further behind the surprising 48% posted by the much-maligned Chris Thorburn (though he played very few minutes). Thorburn (and others) can still be improved upon on this roster, but James Wright sticks out as so poor as to be a barrier to team success. And yet, he was a coach favourite who earned over 14 minutes a game through the entire middle third of the season.
What did we learn?
The fact is, no matter who Cheveldayoff gives to Noel, it's up to the coach to play them. Wright was bad. Wright was so bad as to cost the team, and yet he was rewarded with minutes. I think it's safe to say that Noel felt Wright's obviously effortful play was worthy of adulation even while watching Wright's inability to possess the puck or move the play into the opponent's end cost his team goals against.
When we look at corsi by line, we see very clearly that Claude Noel did a poor job of understanding who was effective at generating chances, and put together lines that don't match with a more rational approach to the game. It's a concern.

Kidney pain — also called renal pain — refers to pain arising from infection, injury or inflammation of a kidney. You may feel kidney pain as a dull, one-sided ache in your upper back, often accompanied by fever and urinary symptoms.
Some people are surprised to learn exactly where the kidneys are located. Your kidneys are located relatively high in your body, under your lower ribs. It's not unusual to attribute back pain or side (flank) pain to your kidneys. But more often than not, your kidneys probably aren't the cause of your back or flank pain.
Call your doctor for a same-day appointment if:
Seek emergency care if you develop sudden, severe kidney pain, with or without blood in your urine. This could mean you have a problem with the blood circulation in your kidneys, such as a blood clot or hemorrhage, and it's important to have it evaluated right away.

Review: Musical 'Catch Me If You Can' lacks movie's intrigue
Some of the best-loved musicals have focused on the following subjects: con men ("Chicago," "The Producers"), the long arm of the law grasping for a charismatic escapee ("Les Misérables"), an unlikely bromance ("The Book of Mormon" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," which also nicely fills category one).
So why does "Catch Me If You Can," which opened Tuesday at Costa Mesa's Segerstrom Hall, fail to connect when it combines those winning elements?
All fingers point to the creative team – director Jack O'Brien, choreographer Jerry Mitchell, writer Terrence McNally and songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman – who, in their keen desire to create a bright, shiny hit, have concocted something that lacks what made Steven Spielberg's 2002 movie version so great: flashes of seriousness and a twisty-turny plot.
Based on the real-life exploits of Frank Abagnale Jr., a teenage con man extraordinaire, "Catch Me If You Can" was a film distinguished by spectacular ruses and near misses as FBI agent Carl Hanratty gradually closed the net on his adversary.
There were also complex motivations behind Abagnale's behavior, and he was played with great subtlety and compassion by Leonardo DiCaprio in one of his better performances. Though there were comic touches in Tom Hanks' Hanratty, the film had many somber shadings.
Musicals, of course, tend to be coarser creatures than movies, and going dark isn't their strong suit. Still, O'Brien's vision, as seen in this touring production, is all '60s flash and glitz. The production numbers roll out like big-finned, identical Cadillacs coming off a Detroit assembly line. And we don't care as much about Frank as we should.
Stephen Anthony plays Frank. Filled with dreams of bigness by his over-reaching father (Dominic Fortuna) and distressed after he discovers his mom Paula (Caitlin Maloney) being unfaithful, the troubled teen sets out for New York, intent on becoming a somebody.
With his good looks, his father's yearnings and his talents for charm and deceit, Frank soon falls into a life of check kiting, con artistry and false identities: first as an airline pilot, then as a doctor and lawyer.
The musical begins with Frank cornered by Hanratty (Merritt David Janes) and his colleagues in an airport. Frank prevails upon them to let him tell his story, and presto, in the best traditions of musical theater, we are suddenly thrust into an extravaganza set in Frank's imagination. (Garish as a car-dealership showroom and bathed in electric primary colors, David Rockwell's set looks like a combination of Dean Martin's cheesy variety program and an old game show. Just in case we miss that connection, they throw in a gigantic Nixon-era NBC peacock, one of many wonderful large-scale video projections by Bob Bonniol.)
We get a succession of big-cast, up-tempo songs, all done in the Motown-inspired style that Wittman and Shaiman perfected in "Hairspray." Here, they suffer from high-decibel sameness, with some exceptions. Hanratty's oddball number, "Don't Break the Rules," explains his persona by going loud and splashy, which is so not Carl. But somehow it works, thanks in part to Janes' delivery, which niftily combines sad sack and show biz.
The path to Frank's doom is disappointingly straightforward, and every scene and relationship is telegraphed. Will Frank and Carl eventually bond? Will Frank eventually sour on his dad's overblown dreams? Will there be dancing stewardesses and nurses in provocative outfits? You know the answer to those questions before this flashy vehicle takes off.
Midway through the second act, things quiet down and we get a glimpse of a more serious and thoughtful musical.
Hanratty and Frank's dad share a moment of somber clarity at a bar, and we feel each character's pain (Fortuna thankfully dampens his boisterous impulses for the scene). And Frank's romance with a sweet and trusting nurse named Brenda (golden-voiced Aubrey Mae Davis) shows us he is tired of his life and desperate for normalcy.
There aren't any recognizable names in the cast, but perhaps some of them will be soon. Anthony has a winning combination of bouncy energy and a rock-star singing voice that should serve him well, especially in harder-edged material. And Fortuna, though he's too ebullient for the part of Frank's dad, is clearly a first-rate song-and-dance man.
Your enjoyment of this musical depends on how wedded you are to its cinematic version. If you like your crime stories with a dose of psychological insight, then this one won't satisfy. If you're a fan of "Mad Men"-era fashions and that series' boys-will-be-boys outlook, then this "Catch Me If You Can" is worth catching.

My House Burned Down & The First Thing I Needed To Replace Was My Hairdryer. It's True!I've been using this style of hairdryer for many years but this newer model is incredible. With the brush and dryer all in one, there is no fumbling trying to style your hair by using a brush in one hand and a dryer in the other. It boggles my mind why people are still following the hairstylist methods of using two hands when, with this hairdryer, you have complete control of what you are doing to your hair, even at the back. You get silky smooth hair, complete style control whether you use rollers along with it or not. You can dry your hair from underneath which gives extra protection to the top layer of your hair that also gets sun exposure. I dry with the heat and when my hair is almost try, I use the cool button to eliminate the heat and set the hair by cooling it with the cool air button. There is a rhythm to the whole thing...hot to cool...not much different than heating your hair with any hairdryer then putting a roller in and letting it cool to set. I'm retired and live in Canada and Florida and have only been able to find this dryer in the USA so when my Canadian home was recently destroyed, one of the first things I did was go searching for a replacement hairdryer, but it is not available in Canada so I ordered online from Folica and it was delivered within 2 days. Yay..silky hair again.Nov 8, 2010SharonHAIR TYPEGrey / Curly Hair

Dry Your Hair Really Fast!Dries hair SUPER FAST. I saw reviews that said it worked well on thick hair, but I guess my hair is not thick enough because it kind of hurt my head to run the attachments through my hair, but if you use your hand to grab your hair first instead of just brushing against your scalp then it was fine. Overall I am happy with this product, def. worth the money and good for drying your hair fast! I have long hair and this cuts down blowdrying time from 30 to 8 minutes. I also loved the free hair accessories that came with it, super cute!Oct 14, 2010Sasha

If You Haven't Tried This Type Of Hair Dryer, I Suggest You Try This One!I have been very impressed with the changes made for this type of hair dryer. The attachments snap on with a release to remove them. It's the first time that I have been able to use a brush attachment without it popping off as I have thick hair. For many people that wish to have straight hair this may work for you w/o have to use a flat iron.

Good DryerI am African-American & I have thick (natural, no relaxer, VERY curly) and long (past the shoulders) hair. This dryer works very well. I absolutely LOVE the straightening comb attachment becuase it goes through my hair with no pulling or breakage. I also like that the attachments lock into place & do not slide off. The dryer gets VERY HOT, which is both a positive & negative. It's positive becuase it dries my hair fast. It's negative because you need to be very careful that you don't overdry or burn your hair. However, if you condition properly & use a good heat protectant before drying, you should be fine. Overall, I would buy again because I haven't found a better quality styler dryer on the market. But I have 2 suggestions for Conair: (1) Sell replacement attachments, and (2) Have 3 heat/speed settings.May 16, 2010Jenn / Milwaukee,WIHAIR TYPEAfrican American / Curly Hair / Long Hair

Best Hairdryer Ever!This hairdryer has made my life so much easier. It dries my long, exceptionally thick hair in seven minutes from totally wet, using the straightening comb, high setting. I actually timed it using the stopwatch function on my iPod because it was so unbelievably fast. I own the much more expensive T3 which pops circuit breakers on high. On the medium setting, the T3 takes 45 minutes. My one caveat is to make sure to use plenty of conditioner and styling product because the dryer gets really hot and that can be hard on your hair. I have the keratin protein treatment on my hair so it turns out nice and shiny but I use leave-in conditioner and Moroccan oil before drying. I love this dryer so much I put it on my Facebook page.Apr 6, 2010Yvonne

Unbelievably FastI have very thick, long hair (past the shoulder). This baby dried it, from totally wet, in about 10-15 minutes. Using the straightening comb, my hair dried nice and straight, and it was easy, effortless. No sectioning, no fooling with the round brush with my arms aching above my head. This dryer even helped tame the slight wave at the crown. Easy, effortless styling. Not even the T3 dries my hair this fast.Mar 23, 2010Yvonne / United States

Some people dream about love and others dream about money. But me? I dream about chocolate… chocolate vacations in Paris to be precise. And that dream came true several months back when my partner, Joan and I, took a 7-day tour of the "Parisian Chocolate Strip." If you're planning a trip to Paris, you must check out the Chocolate Doctor's Guide to Paris Chocolate Boutiques—it's my list of the best chocolates Paris has to offer. Don't miss even one on the list! And be sure to let me know of any new discoveries.
La Maison du Chocolat
225 Rue du Faubourg St. Honoré
75008 Paris
01 220.127.116.11
The scrumptious chocolates sparkle in the shop window like precious jewels, delicately wrapped in cocoa-colored diaphanous cellophane…above, emblazoned in bold lettering: La Maison du Chocolat. La Maison in Paris could well be regarded as the Hermès of the chocolate world. Company founder Robert Linxe—The Wizard of Ganache—pioneered the approach of bringing the production principles of haute cuisine to the world of chocolate making.
Christian Constant
37 Rue d'Assas
75006 Paris
01 18.104.22.168
Mr. Constant is a master chocolatier who travels the world to garner the best ingredients for his creations. He makes the chocolates from the finest cocoa liquor and cocoa butter. The flavors are delicious and subtle. The sugar addition is just enough, so the texture remains incredibly smooth and never too sweet.
Josephine Vannier
4 Rue du Pas De La Mule
75003 Paris
01 44.54.03.09
A delectable chocolate shop with incredible chocolate sculptures in the window and the latest theme is a collection of chocolate boxes. Once inside you are assailed with an intense scent of chocolate and amused by the other sculptures of musical instruments, cell phones, Eiffel Towers, and globes. Try the exotic flavored chocolate bars with combinations of salt and pepper, dried raspberry, spice bread, curry and pimento spice, and dried apple & pear.
Michel Cluziel
201 Rue St. Honoré
75001 Paris
01 18.104.22.168
Michel Cluizel chocolates have been renowned since the mid-20th century, when Cluizel first opened a family-run shop in Normandy.

So So
There's probably no battle that will happen between the two by the next chapter.
By the way, they are a bit spamming the Emperor's Haki, if you ask me. Certainly the Yonkous (although we don't know for sure about Blackbeard), Dofla, Luffy, Hancock, Ace, Rayleigh have it, and maybe (I am speculating, so please stay cool) Zorry, Law, Garp, Mihawk, ...
It's starting to look like the Super-Sayajin-Legend: One in a million turns out to be an exaggeration (or you consider the ordinary population who has nothing to do with it).
^I don't really think its an exaggeration. If we think about it population wise there should be around 7,000 people in the world with Emperor's Haki (And that's only if the population of the one piece world is the same as our world). Also it has been hinted that Emperor's Haki isn't just randomly born with, Its something only those destined to be great and powerful have (It's sort of like the name D). So it makes sense that we have been seeing it a bit, as we are getting closer to the top of the world's food chain.

That was a typo !. i meant, i wonder if flamingo attacking the marines would mean he is ready to just drop his title. I mean he could just be ready to drop it. but like said else where. He kind of does need that protection. I wonder how long he has been kiadus supplier
Just reread the chapter, anyone notice that one piece will be on break next week? Always right before the best parts
^Yeah, noticed that first time I read it (I always check the bottom to see if its on break)
I think I can handle the break though, the Anime is getting close to the Law vs Smoker fight.

Wolves down sloppy Saints
A review of the action at Super League's Magic Weekend in Manchester.
- Related Content
A review of the action at Super League's Magic Weekend in Manchester.
St Helens missed the chance to return to the top of the First Utility Super League after their thrilling second-half fightback in the final match of the Magic Weekend in Manchester was cut short by a revitalised Warrington.
Threequarters Rhys Evans and Joel Monaghan each scored two of the Wolves' eight tries in a 41-24 success which was sweet revenge for a 38-8 mauling at home by Saints in their opening match of the season.
Saints were heading for a humiliating derby defeat when they trailed 36-6 early in the second half but they rallied superbly to provide fitting entertainment for a second-day crowd of 28,214, which helped establish a Magic Weekend attendance record of 64,552, eclipsing the previous best aggregate of 63,716 at the Etihad Stadium in 2012.
It was Warrington's sixth win in eight Magic Weekend fixtures and will give breathe new life into their flagging campaign.
Classy Castleford got their First Utility Super League title charge back on track with a ruthless demolition of a poor Wakefield in a mismatched start to Sunday's action.
Stand-off Marc Sneyd was the star of the one-sided show with two of his side's nine tries and seven goals in a 50-12 triumph as the Tigers bounced back from successive defeats to reclaim third place in the table.
Huddersfield showed no mercy to their stricken neighbours Bradford as they cruised to a fifth straight win to consolidate their place in the top six of the First Utility Super League.
The Giants had nine different tryscorers as they revelled in ideal conditions at the Etihad Stadium to pile on more agony for relegation-threatened Bradford with a 54-16 triumph.
Winners by 66-18 at Odsal in March, Huddersfield beat the Bulls 42-6 at the 2013 Magic Weekend and they once again had too much pace and power for an under-strength side who had just one specialist prop and a rather inexperienced bench.
Reigning champions Wigan brought down the curtain on an enthralling opening day with an epic 18-14 victory over Super League leaders Leeds.
The Rhinos trailed 18-4 early in the second half but thought they had completed a remarkable fightback when Joel Moon went over four minutes from the end only to have his try disallowed by the video referee.
It was a pulsating finish to the top-of-the-bill showdown that lived up to all expectations and kept the single-day Magic Weekend record crowd of 36,339 so engrossed in the non-stop action that it took them until the second half of the final game to come up with the traditional Mexican Wave.
The Rhinos' second defeat of the season will now give St Helens the chance to go top of the table when they meet Warrington in the final match of the two-day spectacular on Sunday while some of the gloss was removed from Wigan's famous win by the loss of stand-off Blake Green with a ruptured bicep.
Anthony Gelling, Green and Michael Mcllorum scored Wigan's tries, while Ryan Hall (2) and Carl Ablett went over for Leeds.
Hull KR secured another derby victory over Hull FC against the surreal backdrop of Hull City playing in the FA Cup final on Saturday afternoon.
Rovers won 38-24 with their tries coming from Liam Salter (2), Ade Gardner (2), Kevin Larroyer and David Hodgson.
The tries for Hull FC were scored by Dean Hadley, Jamie Shaul, Danny Houghton and Feka Paleaaesina.
Hull FC's Jason Crookes was sent off for a head-high hit on Salter that referee Richard Silverwood deemed worthy of an early bath.
Widnes gained their first Magic Weekend success at the third attempt after winning an 11-try thriller in the Manchester sunshine to leave Salford without a victory in their last six matches.
The Red Devils twice held the lead and had a chance to draw level with seven minutes left but Vikings winger Paddy Flynn grabbed his second try in the closing moments to clinch a 30-24 triumph.
The Vikings were indebted to Kevin Brown, who shaded his stand-off duel with Rangi Chase, who made a full contribution to a wonderful free-flowing encounter.
Jack Owens, Chris Dean, Lloyd White and Rhys Hanbury also scored tries for Widnes, while Junior Sau, Rangi Chase, Matty Ashurst, Danny Williams and Francis Meli went over for Salford.
Josh Drinkwater's failed conversion of his own try denied London what would have been a first point of the 2014 season as they lost the Magic Weekend opener 24-22 to Catalan Dragons.
The scrum-half's show-and-go score with seven minutes left had looked set to bring his side level for a second time but he was unable to nail his conversion from just to the right of the posts.
It was rough justice on Drinkwater and London, who had looked set to finally break their duck for the season at the 13th time of asking.
They trailed 18-6 and 24-18 during the afternoon and new coach Joe Grima will surely feel - like many of the neutrals inside the Etihad Stadium did - that they deserved more.
Nothing was what they got, though, which belied their performance.
Mason Caton-Brown (2) and James Greenwood also crossed the whitewash for London, while the Dragons' tries came from Vincent Duport, Elliott Whitehead and Oliver Lima.

LOUISVILLE – After showering in the jockey's room for women at Churchill Downs, Rosie Napravnik traded her mud-caked riding garb for a rose red dress and a big-brimmed, black Kentucky Derby hat. She wasn't dressed for a victory party, but she had distinguished herself.
Napravnik, 25, bidding to become the first female jockey to win the Kentucky Derby, finished in fifth place on Mylute in the 19-horse field in Saturday's 139th running of the Derby. The previous best finish by a female jockey in the Derby had been Napravnik's ninth place in 2011 aboard Pants on Fire.
It was just the eighth start by a female jockey in the Derby. Napravnik now has matched Julie Krone (14th in 1992 and 11th in 1995) with two starts.
CHART: How each horse performed
"If I moved four places from two years ago to this year, then ...," said Napravnik, her voice trailing off as she did the math in her head for another four-place jump that would put her first the next time.
She finished six lengths behind winning Orb.
"It was really exciting. I was excited to have the best finish by a female," said Napravnik, who last year became the first female jockey to win the Kentucky Oaks for 3-year-old fillies on the Friday before the Derby.
WATCH: Orb sprints down the stretch to win
"We really stepped it up this year. The most exciting thing is about this horse and how well he ran today. I had a really wide trip (after starting in the No. 6 position). He's very talented. He is really for these classic distance races. And I'm really excited. … He's really growing into a very nice race horse.''
Earlier this year, Napravnik was riding Shanghai Bobby, who had been a star as a 2-year-old and might have been the favorite in the Derby.
But after Shanghai Bobby was sidelined by a stress fracture in his hip, Napravnik switched to Mylute, who went off in the Derby at 14-1. She had ridden Mylute to a previous victory in an allowance race.
"I couldn't have been more happy, well, I guess I could have been more pleased today," she said with a smile. "But I was really pleased with the way he ran."
Napravnik, who started riding when she raced ponies as a youngster in New Jersey, said she followed the race plan from from trainer Tom Amoss.
"My instructions from Tom were just let him fall out (out of the gate) and run the way he likes to run, which is from behind," said Napravnik.
"He's always kind of just very relaxed. He stood in the gate like a statue, which I was thankful for. I was a little bit further back than I anticipated going into the first turn. But Orb, I mean I could have touched him the whole way around there.
"So we got a pretty good trip other than going wide. A lot of times that's the winning move. And obviously today it was Orb's.''
Revolutionary, ridden by three-time Derby winner Calvin Borel, took third. Normandy Invasion, ridden by veteran Javier Castellano, was fourth.
Of course, Napravnik was the lone female rider in the Derby.
"I have never wanted to win a photo (finish) for third so bad in my life," she said.
