We join the Franz family at one of those moments. The home of Victor and Walter Franz is going to be demolished, and after a 16-year separation the brothers come together to sell off their former possessions. Victor (Phil Powers), a veteran of the New York Police Department, arrives at the attic of their former Manhattan brownstone, once the home of his father who lived there from the time of his bankruptcy in 1929 until his death. Victor's wife Esther (Lynnae Lehfeldt) joins him as he awaits the appraiser. Their conversation provides an analogy for the life they have created together. Esther feels her life has been stagnant and unfulfilled while waiting for Victor to finally make a decision about what he wants to do with his life.

The Latest Headlines...
This reporter purchased tickets on Craigslist.com on Saturday afternoon. "Okay, you're the only media in here," Corluka said, a few songs into the concert. "We'll see if you're fair. We'll see." The attempted journalist blockade might have raised the expectations bar a little high. No offense, Mr. Corluka, but musically Perkovic and his band are kind of mundane; they sound, at moments, like the Gipsy Kings doing "Dust in the Wind." The charm of songs like "Geni Kameni" is perhaps in the lyrics -- and they don't translate all that well: Genes, genes made of stone A fire burns within me Genes, genes made of stone That's the way we are born Take it or leave it. This, of course, sounds different to Croatian ears.
The World's Most Expensive Watches
With over 20 forums in different brands, eras and styles, collectors can anonymously connect with other like-minded people; ask questions, seek advice and share pictures of their latest buys. Using screen names such as KeeperOfTime or RolexMan, they post photos of the watch they are wearing every Friday. No. 1 on his wish list is a Rolex Comex 1680, a watch created specifically for a French deep-sea diving company in 1978. With only 50 models made, many that have been altered and the dials changed, there are very few authentic "survivors." In fact, Zimmermann says that in Antiquorum's 34-year history, this timepiece has never come up for sale--until this year. He's keeping his eye on the one that has popped up, which will be auctioned in April. But with the price expected to reach at least $250,000, he thinks he will be outbid.
'It has affected my kids - they're seeing me stressed out all the time ...
When the repossession notice finally came, Richard Wadswell felt crushed. The 46-year-old widower and father of two had worked all his life to pay the mortgage. Now his family home of 16 years was to be taken away. A court order hangs over Wadswell (not his real name), and if he misses a single payment to HSBC it will be enforced and he will be out. Calls to repossession advice lines are flooding in four times faster than this time last year and the number of repossessed homes going under the hammer with the country's leading property auctioneer has doubled. The Council for Mortgage Lenders predicts 45,000 homes will be repossessed this year, 50% more than in 2007. Now it seems only a matter of time before Wadswell's semi-detached home in a cul-de-sac in Tameside, Greater Manchester, adds to the statistical gloom.
