'Only God Forgives' is a violent, creepy film that leaves viewers in the dark
Actor Ryan Gosling and Danish director Nicholas Winding Refn first collaborated in 2011 with "Drive," a bloody but ambitious film with a brilliant 10-minute opening sequence bathed in shadows and nearly devoid of dialogue. Critics admired the film and it drew respectable box-office numbers for its $15 million budget. The duo was the buzz of the film world.
When something works so well the first time, like the teaming of Gosling and Refn, it can make you feel like you have a "get out of jail free" card allowing you to push it to the limit. The result can be magnificent or it can fall under the weight of its own genius, like the duo's new film, "Only God Forgives."
In "Only God Forgives," opening Friday, Refn takes what he did well in "Drive" to tedious and bloody extremes. There are shadows, but scenes are bathed in red, too (yes we get it, blood). Characters are silent for painfully long stretches. And Refn's affinity for letting his camera sit for extended time on an actor (or body part) is used to mind-numbing effect. This is not a movie to watch with a remote. (Don't mistake a "languidly paced" film for one that drags.)
Plus, Refn achieves the impossible with his overused technique: It becomes boring to look at Gosling, standing like a statue, in these lengthy, static shots. It should never be boring to look at Gosling.
"Only God Forgives" is set in the seedy underworld of Bangkok. Gosling is Julian, the owner of a boxing club clearly not on the up-and-up. When his twisted brother, Billy, seeks the pleasures of a young girl ("I'll give you $15,000," he tells a man for the use of his daughter), it ends badly. The cops find Billy and a dead girl in a hotel room. The head cop, the mysterious and sadistic Chang (Vithaya Pansringarm), gets the girl's grief-stricken father, locks him in the room with Billy, tells the confused man to do what he wants and leaves. A camera lingers down a long hallway (one of about 50 times you'll see the same tracking shot) focusing on the shadow of a man pummelling another with a baseball bat.
That starts the domino effect in this slim, eye-for-an eye plot filled with psychotic, twisted characters; intense violence and torture; racism and incest. The sword-wielding Chang takes the grieving father, now covered in Billy's blood, and cuts off his arm for allowing his daughter to become a prostitute. Julian seeks vengeance for Billy's death, but spares the father's life when he learns what his brother did. Julian's vile and nasty mother (a disturbing Kristen Scott Thomas) arrives from the States to claim the body of "her first born," then berates her living son for not carrying out the revenge.
"Billy raped and killed a 16-year-old girl," Julian says.
"I'm sure he had his reasons," Mommie Dearest snaps. When she runs her finger slowly down Julian's muscular forearm, the full ugliness of the situation sets in.
"Only God Forgives" recalls the moody works of Brian DePalma and David Lynch (especially "Twin Peaks") in its surreal, dreamy style and soundtrack by Cliff Martinez (equal parts noise and music). But "Only God Forgives" never lets you forget it's being directed by a man with a vision – even if that overpowering vision dulls the senses for the viewer.

FBI agent Ford MacDougal -- "Mac"--Is recovering from a terrorist car bombing when his sister appears to purposely drive her Porsche off an Oregon cliff. Curiously, Mac felt as if he were in the car with her as she sailed toward the sea, even though he was really in a hospital bed on the other side of the country. By the time Mac arrives in Portland, his sister - Dr. Jilly Bartlett, a medical researcher - has come out of the coma she's been in for four days. But after a few scant hours with her brother, Jilly vanishes without a trace. In searching for her, Mac gets a different story from everyone he encounters. When the local sheriff enlists Mac's aid in a puzzling murder of an elderly resident, Mac little suspects that the case connects to his sister's disappearance. FBI agents Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich (last seen in The Target) join Mac to ride shotgun, only to find their search leading from a small town on the Oregon coast to the rain forests of Costa Rica.

Colin Munroe Interview
|Colin Munroe
|EMI Music
|Next Project:
|"Don't Think Less of Me" (Out Q1, '09)
|Colin Munroe on Twitter
|Colin Munroe's Website
It's common knowledge that, in the course of the current decade, the music industry has undergone considerable change. Though many, major-label executives included, would argue that the upheavals they've experienced have had largely negative effects on their business, driving down sales and rendering traditional means of promotion ineffective, we at DJBooth.net have watched as a new generation of artists have grown into their roles as players in a changed game. The biggest upside to the wide-open nature of today's hip hop scene has been the opportunity to experience the musical stylings of artists from an unprecedented variety of backgrounds, and one of the most unique up-and-comers to hit the scene in recent days is singer/songwriter/producer Colin Munroe.
Born and raised in North Gower, Ontario, Munroe was home-schooled by his religious parents till his freshman year of high school, when he convinced them to allow him to attend a nearby performing arts school, where he learned the tools of the trade that would ultimately become his career. After moving to Toronto to attend university and experiencing the big city's hip hop scene, he was inspired to set off on his own musical journey. Introduced to the Booth in late November by way of his remix of buzz single "Will I Stay," off his recently-released Colin Munroe Is the Unsung Hero mixtape (available here), Colin is currently preparing his debut studio album, Don't Think Less of Me, for release in the first quarter of '09.
In an exclusive interview with our very own DJ "Z," Colin Munroe steps into the Booth to discuss his unusual path to success, the pros and cons of "buzz," and why he considers himself an Unsung Hero.

Colin Munroe Interview Transcription
DJ Booth: What's goin' on, everybody? It's your boy "Z," doin' it real big, and joining me inside the DJ Booth is a new-school musician in every sense of the word. Signed to a joint label deal with Dallas Austin's Rowdy Records, Marked Music, and Universal/Motown, this performer/songwriter/producer will release his debut album, Don't Think Less of Me, at the top of next year. Please welcome a native of North Gower, Ontario, Colin Munroe – how you doin'?
Colin Munroe: Thank you sir, thank you sir. You almost made me blush there – that was a very, very nice introduction.
DJ Booth: That's actually what I was goin' for: I was hoping that, by the end of the intro, you'd say that I made you blush.
Colin Munroe: [laughs] Well, you're off to a good start, my friend.
DJ Booth: Sounds good. Colin, I was doin' some research, and I read that your parents home-schooled you from third grade all the way up till freshman year of high school. So, would you say that that experience helped to create the artist you are today, or simply delayed the inevitable?
Colin Munroe: It certainly took a part in shaping it. I'm one of those people who believes you are kind of born with a purpose, so whether I was home-schooled or not, I'm pretty sure I would've found my path in life. That experience has certainly colored my childhood and taught me a lot of things.
DJ Booth: You convinced your parents in ninth grade that you wanted to make the move to a performing arts school. What did it take to convince them? Was it easy? Was it hard?
Colin Munroe: You know what? I didn't eat for like two, three weeks. I just couldn't deal with it because I was so used to, after all the years of home schooling, making my own schedule, doing whatever I wanted to do for the most part. I mean, this concept of getting up in the morning at 6:00 AM to catch a bus – this school was on the other side of town – it just threw me. Like, sitting in a class full of all these students, and, what, I have homework?! What the hell is 'homework?' So it was quite a shock. Eventually I got used to it and I loved it, but it took a second.
DJ Booth: How was it dealing with the cafeteria food? Were you used to the whole macaroni and tater tots diet?
Colin Munroe: [laughs] Well, you know, it's never been my favorite way to enjoy food, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
DJ Booth: Absolutely. Colin, your music is not easy to classify. The best I could come up with is an indie rock sound over hip-hop influenced basslines. Does that sound about right, or would you spin it differently?
Colin Munroe: I suppose the way I'd put it is, I think I'm part of the newer generation that's coming up now, that has existed for the most part with digital music, which allows people to mix and match playlists, to listen to whatever they want to listen to, a generation that's really starting to understand the blurring between genres, so I feel like it's just a natural progression. I mean, it's not something that I sit down and try to do, it's really not a formula, it just kinda comes out that way.
DJ Booth: So, when you're making music, no part of you consciously is trying to go with one sound over another?
Colin Munroe: No, no. It's more to me like sort of stretching your arms out into the atmosphere and trying to pull down something that's special, something that feels like it's magic. Wherever that little kernel of magic might be, you pull it down. I feel like it's more abstract than, "I want a hip-hop bassline here and I want rock drums there," you know?
DJ Booth: Yeah, absolutely. Well, speaking of magic tricks, you pulled one off earlier this year, when you did an unofficial remix to Kanye's then-hit single, "Flashing Lights." That's really what got you up on my radar. Did you have any idea whatsoever that your version would create so much positive attention?
Colin Munroe: I had no idea. It was really just an exercise in, "Hey, maybe I can do something with this track. It's cool, I like it, but I hear these melodies, I hear these other production ideas – let's see what I can do with it," and then throwing it up online after the video was made, you know, maybe a couple blogs will be into it. And you never can tell what that thing might be that people see in something, and I guess they saw something, and it did what it did. I'm certainly very grateful that it turned out that way, but it was never my intention.
DJ Booth: Well, it worked out great, as you said. Colin, the word "buzzworthy" has become overused and extremely cliché when referencing an artist's most unrecognized talents. Do you feel like your work up to this point deserves that "buzzworthy" attribute?
Colin Munroe: To me, it has pros and cons. To me, the cons are, it can really build you up, and start to create expectations that are completely unrealistic. It seems these days that cool and hype have completely overshadowed the actual musical elements of artists and artistry, and it can shoot you dead in the water before you even get a chance to grow, 'cause it's a process, right? It's not like the Beatles came out of the box being the geniuses that they were – they went through a process. So you've got to give artists time to kind of find their place in the world. So that's the con; the pro is, hey, it's fun – people want to hear what you're doing, and if they say there's buzz around it, that must mean some people are into it, so that's always good.
DJ Booth: You said "finding an artist's place;" do you feel like you're on the cusp of finding that place, or have you found it?
Colin Munroe: No – to me, it's a process. It's something that I'll probably be doing for a while, and I'll probably go through different phases with, and will probably find different places at different points in time. I think it's dangerous for an artist to think, "Ah – I've arrived! This is my place." That's when things start to get stale.
DJ Booth: So you'd say that comfort does not breed better new music.
Colin Munroe: I'd say there's definitely a case to be made that that's the reality. Like, you look at plenty of people's careers, and that seems to be the case. Whether or not you can prove that from the inside, that's certainly how it looks from the outside.
DJ Booth: Colin, you recently released a mixtape that we featured here at DJBooth.net entitled, Colin Munroe Is the Unsung Hero. Does the title of this prelude to your album express a sincere sentiment? Do you really feel that way?
Colin Munroe: I've felt that way for a long time. You know, I was never the most popular kid, the best-looking kid, the strongest kid, the biggest kid. I just have always identified with that underdog mentality. I don't know if I'll wear that persona for the rest of my life, but I've worn it for a while, and I think most people do at some point in time, as they're trying to find their place.
DJ Booth: As you have started to pop up in headlines, and your music has made its rounds, have you noticed an influx of calls and Emails from people in your past who didn't appreciate what you had to offer? You just said a second ago, you weren't always, and you listed a few attributes for me – have you found that to be the case?
Colin Munroe: [laughs] Yeah, there [are] definitely some people that start to look at you differently. And [on one side] it's just a business, and I understand that part of it, and something that didn't look like it had opportunity in it before suddenly does; as a businessperson, you've got to pay attention to that. On the human side of thing, yeah, it's not always the best feeling, but I keep a tight circle around me, and I know who my champions were from day one, and I don't forget.
DJ Booth: Well, I have a feeling, my friend, that you are going to have the last laugh.
Colin Munroe: [laughs] Well, I certainly hope that that is how the final chapter [goes].
DJ Booth: Colin, we featured your Wale and Dallas Austin-assisted "Will I Stay," from your new mixtape. In it, you sing, "Will I stay or will I go? I don't know. I cannot make up my mind." So, naturally, this leads me to wonder, up to this point in your life – you're 28 – what has been the hardest decision that you have had to make?
Colin Munroe: There have definitely [been] some… like, that song was actually based on some romantic instances where I felt like everything was in place, and there was a future, and the possibility of forever hanging in the balance, but a couple missing pieces, and that being just enough to make me walk away. I haven't had to make any decisions that I would consider life-or-death, on that level, but yeah, I've had a few.
DJ Booth: Is there a special someone in your life that you're trying to juggle right now?
Colin Munroe: At the moment, no. I haven't been able to do that for a couple years. I'm a 100% person – I prefer to be in something 100% and be able to give 100%, and if I don't feel that I'm able to do that, I can't bring myself to try.
DJ Booth: Well, I [can attest] to that because, in my findings, not many women understand what it takes.
Colin Munroe: Yeah, it takes a special individual.
DJ Booth: In addition to your music, your viral videos have also captivated the worldwide web. How large of a role do you feel that your online presence has had in your current situation, which is signed to a major label, and about to release your debut?
Colin Munroe: Without the online, I don't know where I'd be. Without bloggers, I don't know where I would be. Without the ability to put a video up and let people share it, I don't know where I would be. To me it's the new radio, it's the new Times Square, it's the new commercials on television, and what have you. It's a very powerful tool, and it's been kind to me.
DJ Booth: Based on what you just said, how do you feel when you hear about major labels, Universal/Motown included, not knowing exactly how they want to go about marketing and promoting an artist online?
Colin Munroe: It's what happens when a system doesn't grow: it becomes extremely entrenched and simply doesn't evolve. You know, eventually it's going to become outdated and show its rust, and that's what you're seeing now. There's people in the industry that want to make it work, that are trying to make it work. Once the systems catch up, I think ideas and creative people on the business side of things will be able to do what they used to do – you know, it used to be that there were admired businesspeople on the music side of things. I think there's still a space for that; the systems, they just need to be updated.
DJ Booth: We've alluded to it several times throughout the interview: your debut album's going to be dropping somewhere between February and March of next year. It's entitled Don't Think Less of Me. I need to know: why would anyone think less of you, Colin?
Colin Munroe: [laughs] First of all, the album is really all about me leaving home. A lot of what I talk about on the record has to do with my family and how I grew up, and some of the mindsets that I carried away from it. And that's really something I've felt for a long time: I never really felt like I was supported in what I wanted to do, I wasn't really encouraged to dream, and there was a lot of pulling away of some negative, discouraging mindsets, and that was just a phrase that came into my head one day, as a way to deal with it.
DJ Booth: Well, I think, after one listen, no one will think any less of you. Has this whole situation been a whirlwind of emotions?
Colin Munroe: Not so much a whirlwind as a journey. It's one day at a time with me. I mean, there's no road map for any of this. It happens the way it happens, and the most you can think about is the next footstep in front of you. For me, it's just been like a long journey on foot, walking through sometimes deserts, sometimes forests. At the end of it all, good stories come out of it.
DJ Booth: Give everybody a website or a MySpace page, so they can find out more about you.
Colin Munroe: Sure. You can find me at myspace.com/colinmunroe.
DJ Booth: I wish you nothing but the best of luck, and I appreciate you takin' the time to join me inside the DJ Booth.
Colin Munroe: Hey, man, I appreciate yours.

It's an interesting exercise which fans should do on a regular basis.
And it's one Edmonton Oilers fans should especially do right now as the trade deadline and their official elimination from the playoff race coincide at the same time.
It's kind of like pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, except you don't do it blindfolded and you put arrows on their foreheads instead of tails on their butts.
If you do it right now, it illustrates why Kevin Lowe ought not do anything at the trade deadline Tuesday unless some other general manager comes down with a serious case of the stupids.
If you believe a player is going to do nothing but get better, give him an up arrow.
If you think he's at the stage of his career where he's as good as he's going to get but is likely going to stay there for a few years yet, give him a sideways arrow.
A guy who you believe has seen his best years of his career gets a down arrow.
In some cases, you have to put a question mark.
Everybody is going to have his own chart. But I suspect most will look a lot like mine.
And I only score two down arrows. Two. They are Dwayne Roloson, the 38-year-old goaltender who carries a $3.6 million hit against the cap and is going into the final year of his contract next year, and Geoff Sanderson, 36, who doesn't have long left.
You have to put a question marks beside the name of Jarret Stoll because of the concussion he had last year and the fact he hasn't come close to returning to his previous form yet. Raffi Torres gets a question mark, too, although I believe if he wasn't injured, he'd be the player most in play for Lowe to trade between now and Tuesday because I think we know the answer to the question in his case.
You might suggest Shawn Horcoff isn't likely to match the season he was having up to the all-star game when he got hurt, and might be going downhill from here. But Horcoff is 29 and I figure him for no less than 25 goals and 60 points a year for several years yet.
There are times Steve Staios, 34, might look like his arrow is tipping down like Jason Smith's clearly did last year. But Staios is more likely playing a few too many minutes with the kiddie corps the Oilers are developing on defence. He should have a couple more years as a solid pro to be an example for these kids as they develop.
Ethan Moreau, 32, isn't likely to get much better but we've all witnessed what he brings in character, leadership and physical play since he returned to begin his life as captain of the club.
But look at the up arrows.
Sam Gagner is the youngest player in the league at age 18 and maybe should have two or three up arrows on his forehead. How good is he going to get?
Andrew Cogliano is 20. Maybe he should have two up arrows.
I can't believe so many fans have managed to forget what we're dealing with here as they watch another season end early.
Ladislav Smid is 22. Zack Stortini is 22. Kyle Brodziak is 23. Robert Nilsson is 23. Alex Hemsky is 24. Dennis Grebeshkov is 24. Joni Pitkanen is 24. Tom Gilbert is 25. Dustin Penner is 25.
All of them aren't going to turn out to be great. But some of them are already very good. Almost all of them are going to get better. And the best part is that they are doing it together.
If you want to feel really up about the hometown hockey team, do the exercise with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Leafs have been in about the same position in the standings as the Oilers this season. Comparing the two teams offers a terrific illustration of how close Edmonton is to having some success again and just how far away Toronto really is from seeing light at the end of the tunnel they've been digging under Yonge Street since 1967.
And when you're done doing that, do it again with their farm teams where the Toronto Marlies lead their division in the American Hockey League, but with a collection of journeymen who aren't likely to be NHLers.
The Oilers' farm club in Springfield is in a playoff position with a plethora of first- and second-year pros and their own challenges with injuries, although nothing on the order of the 14 players who have been out 233 games with illness or injuries so far with the Oilers.
It's a second straight down time of year around here.
But look at the up arrows.

If you managed to catch the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 image that briefly surfaced over the weekend before getting taken down, you must have gotten a little nerd excited. It depicted Neville, battle-worn and exhausted, looking incredibly tough, with Bellatrix Lestrange standing behind him. It was an awesome glimpse at the film's bound-to-be-intense finale, and something totally different from what we saw in Deathly Hallows: Part 1, a movie Neville is barely in.
Unfortunately for the Potter faithful that image has been scrubbed from the Internet, and in its place we've now got another new image snagged by Shockya.com that's not nearly as exciting. This time the focus is on Harry and Hermione as they look into the shard of mirror that once helped Harry communicate with Sirius Black but now will lead him to Aberforth Dumbledore, the twin of the former headmaster who helps them get into Hogwarts in time for the final battle. Really if I hadn't seen the first movie twice already, you could convince me this was a still from that one. And yet, it's new Harry Potter content, and for that alone it's worth sharing. Check out the image below and cross your fingers for the Neville one to re-appear soon enough.

Many innovations have been applied in design and construction of golf bags to mitigate problems with prior construction or provide special features. For example, one type innovation concerns protection of the heads of wood clubs (See U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,876,134 & 5,004,345).
While the majority of golf bags carry a full set of clubs loosely and unseparated, another type innovation concerns separating clubs individually or ill groups by providing longitudinal separators therein (See U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,311,178, 5,148,915, 5,135,107, 5,279,414, 5,465,839 & 5,544,743).
A further type innovation concerns modification of the top portion or throat of the golf bags to hold club heads individually separated or separated in small groups (See U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,596,328, 4,600,100, 4,667,820, 4,995,510 & 5,458,240).
Yet another type Innovation to separate and organize clubs involves providing a special type throat on the bag plus contoured seats or recesses in the bottom of the bag (See U.S. Pat. No. 5,029,703).
Still another type innovation to separate and organize clubs involves providing grouped ledges and brackets upstanding from the bag throat (See U.S. Pat. No. 3,503,518).
All of the innovations discussed above relate to conventional golf bags, into which clubs are inserted, shaft first, with heads up. It has also been disclosed to carry the irons of a golf club set with heads down in an unconventional, rectangular case (See U.S. Pat. No. 5,168,992).
In addition to club organization problems associated with golf bags, the development of graphite shaft clubs has created yet another problem in carrying golf clubs in even improved type golf bags, i.e., damage to the graphite shafts by "nicking" (See U.S. Pat. No. 5,393,581).
A golf club carrier invented by Leitzel described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,136,724 teaches a pleated, resilient plastic irons separator for insertion of the irons clubs between adjacent folds into an upright orientation with club heads down. Although club separation is accomplished, any iron will fit between any of the pleats so that club identification is lacking.
A very recent U.S. Pat. No. 5,607,053 teaches a golf club storing device invented by Sumiyoshi which stores all of the golf clubs, irons and woods, in the heads down position into elongated flexible tubular sacks. Again, no club identification is afforded by this device.
In spite of the numerous innovations that have been made and applied to golf bags, the vast majority of known golf bags continue to present users with problems, e.g., the top-heavy nature of the bags because the heaviest part of the clubs, namely the heads, are carried at the top of the bags, club damage and ease of identification. My previous U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,944,184 and 5,822,336 address these existing problems. However, the present invention also addresses other manufacturing and economic problems yet remaining by providing golfers with an unconventional and remarkably improved type of golf bag of a more practical, manufacturable design.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a golf bag which keeps individual irons from coming into contact with one another, to stop them from rattling and to organize them so as to make them easy to locate.
It is another object of this invention to mitigate damage to shafts of clubs made with graphite or delicate shafts.
A further object of this invention is to provide adequate space for the head of the putter and woods so it will not touch other clubs even if the putter has a wide variation of sizes and shapes.
It is yet another object of this invention to accommodate a large range in shapes and sizes of woods or drivers carried in a set of clubs and to hold their heads upwardly in generally fixed position.
Still another object of this invention to carry all irons with heads down at the bottom of the improved golf bag lowering weight distribution in the golf bag and thereby mitigating tendency to tip over.
Yet another object of this invention is to enable this new golf bag of the present invention to have a size and elongated shape typical of conventional golf bags.
It is still another object of this invention to have the space tolerance to accept and hold all irons of most commercially available golf club sets.
A yet further object of this invention is to satisfy the above objects with an improved, more economical and easy to manufacture extruded plastic design.
In accordance with these and other objects which will become apparent hereinafter, the instant invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The objects are accomplished in accordance with the invention by the provision of an improved golf bag for carrying a set of golf clubs including woods, irons and putter with the heads of the woods and putter positioned upward and the heads of the irons positioned downward.
Each partition is formed of substantially straight and flat longitudinal extending panels or partitions within a generally circular or oval-shaped tubular body. The preferred embodiment is formed as a plastic extrusion producing the desired cross sectional configuration and compartment size and arrangement.
The new golf bags of the invention eliminate several of the annoyances associated with the use of conventional golf bags, i.e., rattling of the clubs and haphazard, moveable carriage of clubs making them hard to quickly identify and be easily removable from the conventional bags. Thus, in the new golf bags, all clubs are held in an steady manner and organized position, particularly the irons which are held with shafts up and against the bag perimeter making each iron club easy to quickly identify and easily remove without interference from other clubs in the bag.
This invention is therefore directed to a golf bag for carrying a set of golf clubs including woods, irons and putter with the heads of the woods and putter positioned upward and the heads of the irons positioned downward. The golf bag includes a generally tubular golf bag case having a substantially uniform cross section along its entire length and a plurality of elongated longitudinally extending compartments formed as an extruded plastic partition assembly having flat panels arranged to define an open upper end of each separate compartment. Each compartment and its associated upper opening have an individually shaped periphery sized to admit the head of only one particular iron. The golf bag has a molded bottom plate that supports the heads of the irons and the grip ends of each wood and putter and attaches to a multi-layer golf bag case. The golf bag lowers the weight distribution of the bag contents, keeps individual irons from coming into contact with one another, stops them from rattling, organizes them so as to make them easy to locate while mitigating possible damage to the shafts of clubs made with graphite shafts. Economy and practicality of manufacture are attained through plastic extrusion-friendly design improvements.
A more complete understanding of the invention can be obtained by reference to the accompanying drawings in which generic parts of the illustrated matter are indicated by arrowhead lines associated with the designation numerals while specific parts are indicated with plain lines associated with the numerals and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a front elevation view of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of FIG. 1 with each iron club head and shaft shown in phantom.
FIG. 4 is a section view in the direction of arrows 4—4 in FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary section view showing the manner in which downwardly oriented iron club heads are held in the invention.
Referring now to the drawings, and particularly to FIGS. 1 to 3, a golf bag 10 is constructed in accordance with the invention for carrying a set of golf clubs including woods (not shown), irons I, and putters (not shown), each having a shaft S and a head H with a toe Ha and a heel Hb thereof. The heads of the woods and putters (not shown) are positioned upwardly, while the heads H of the irons I are positioned downwardly to rest atop the bottom 18 of the golf bag 10 as best seen in FIG. 5 described in more detail herebelow.
The golf bag 10 includes a straight cylindrical multi-layer golf bag case 12 elongated along a longitudinal axis and defining an open upper perimeter 14 formed by a molded bezel 15, the closed molded bottom 18 and a flexible central outer portion which may be of a conventional nature to define closeable zippered pouches as desired. The golf bag case 12 is formed of an inner plastic molded extruded member 12 a and a flexible outer layer 12 b formed of vinyl, NAUGAHYDE, leather and the like which is attached thereto described herebelow.
The golf bag 10 further includes a separate elongated straight inner partition member 24 formed of plastic by compression molding. The partition member 24 includes a flat central panel 28 and flat side panels or partitions 26 which, in combination with the golf bag case 12, define a plurality of wood club compartments 30 and irons compartments 40. One or more putters are carried heads up, with the shafts slidably fitting into the interiors 34 and 32, of separate elongated tubular compartments 20 and 22, respectively, which are attached to the outer surface of the golf bag case 12. Note that the distal edges 36 of each of the flat panels 34 are held in spaced apart or snug-fitting engagement with respect to the inner surface of the inner case member 12 a to better facilitate manufacture of each by plastic extrusion or compression molding. The partition member 24 is slidably inserted into the golf bag case 12 after these components are individually manufactured.
The number of compartments as at 38 and 40 total nine to accommodate a standard set of irons consisting of irons 3 to 9, a pitching wedge (P.W.) and a sand wedge (S.W.). In use of the golf bag 10, the heads of the irons I are inserted downwardly through the open upper end of a respective compartment as at 38 and 40 and lowered thereto. The individual irons I are kept from coming into contact with one another and are prevented from rattling by gravity action as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 5 with each toe Ha against central partition 28 and/or each club head heel Hb and shaft S resting against the inner surface of the inner club bag member 12 a. Moreover, since a separate compartment is provided for each irons club 1, they are organized, making them easy to locate or alerting the golfer to a missing club, there being space and provision to hold all the irons of most commercially available golf club sets. To aid in iron club identification, numbers 35 may be adhesively attached to the ends of the shafts as shown in FIG. 3.
Further, the separate compartment arrangement mitigates the possibility of damage to shafts of clubs made with delicate graphite and, since all irons I, as seen in FIG. 5, are carried with heads H down atop the inner surface 18 a of bottom 18 of the golf bag 10, weight distribution is also improved (lowered) in the golf bag 10, thereby mitigating the tendency of the bag to tip over. Moreover, the new golf bag 10 provides adequate space for the head H of each putter in separate compartments 20 and 22 so that each putter cannot touch other clubs. Alternately, one of the woods may be placed into one of the tubular compartments 20 or 22, and, in combination with placing the other two woods into corner compartments 30 and 42 in FIG. 3, no club head damage by contact with other clubs is possible. This obviates the need for protective wood head covers. Additionally, the golf bag 10 can be made in the a somewhat tubular shape and size, e.g., about 9 inch across, of conventional golf bags so they can be carried in standard racks of golf carts.
As best seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, two spaced wheels 16 mounted on a transverse axle shaft 17 are provided to facilitate the rolling transport of the golf bag 10 by pulling or pushing an elongated diagonally extending handle (not shown).
The molded plastic bottom 18 includes an enlarged outer section 18 b which support the axle 17. An upwardly extending flange 18 c forms an upper perimeter whereby the inner molded golf bag member 12 a fits snugly inside of the perimeter flange 18 c and is secured thereto by conventional means while the decorative flexible outer golf bag member 12 b snugly the outer surface of the upper perimeter flange 18 c. The inner and outer member 12 a and 12 b are then brought together just above the flange 18 c and held as show by conventional stitching, gluing, mechanical means and the like.
While the instant invention has been shown and described herein in what are conceived to the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is recognized that departures may be made therefrom within the scope of the invention, which is therefore not to be limited to the details disclosed herein, but is to be afforded the full scope of the claims so as to embrace any and all equivalent apparatus and articles.

Two concertgoers were robbed in the West End after they got turned around on a Dallas Area Rapid Transit rail line.
The women, both DART rookies, were trying to get back to the their cars in North Dallas after Keith Urban's Sunday show at the American Airlines Center but got on a Red Line train going in the opposite direction.
By the time the women realized their mistake, it was midnight, and the trains had stopped running for the night.
Police said two men in a maroon sedan pulled up alongside them as they were walking toward the House of Blues to call a cab and grabbed their purses.
"When the driver came toward me, I didn't let go," Amy Lancaster said. "It was like I was a boomerang -- he threw me in a 180 and threw me to the cement."
Lancaster had a concussion and spent much of the morning at Baylor Medical Center recovering. She has bruises up and down her arm and a cut on her head.
"I really do wish I would have never gotten on that train," she said.
Lancaster said she will drive to concerts in the future.

LG G3 Stylus Singapore: Like the Original G3 but with a Stylus
Considered a downgraded version of the original LG G3 but with the addition of a stylus, the LG G3 Stylus comes with what the name entails; a stylus. The aim of the device is to bring all the style and features of the original LG G3 at a more affordable price. The dimensions of the LG G3 Stylus are pretty much the same with the original's but with a little tweak on the top to make room for storing and keeping the stylus in place. The LG G3 Stylus is commended for its 5.5-inch screen surrounded by bezel that runs on a 540x960 pixel resolution display.
Hitting All the Key Points with the LG G3 Stylus!
One of the more prominent features of the LG G3 Stylus other than the stylus itself is the ability to wake and sleep it with a double tap of the screen. This allows you to not use the physical power button too much, saving you of inevitable wear and tear. The LG G3 Stylus rocks a quad core processor running on 1.3 GHz, 1GB RAM, and an internal storage of 8GB. The operation system behind it is the Android 4.4.2 KitKat—resulting in a very impressive user interface that's both easy on the eyes and easy enough to handle.
Another prominent feature of the LG G3 Stylus is the presence of the Knock Code, which allows you to write or tap a pattern to unlock the phone, rather than typing a pin or a password. Though it's not as convenient as fingerprint scanners in other flagship devices, the Knock Code proves to be innovative for smartphone in its class. You can also carry out your smartphone tasks side-by-side with the Dual Window feature although you'd think that a 5.5-inch display is too small, it works considerably well. If you're keen on cameras, the LG G3 Stylus sports a 13MP camera on the back and a 1.3MP camera on the front.
Should You Own It?
Consider a purchase of the LG G3 Stylus if you're keen on getting all the features of the original LG G3 with a smaller price tag and with the addition of a stylus. The collective list of features would be deemed admirable enough to woo you into purchasing this low-tier smartphone—should your budget doesn't reach those off higher tiers.

Ccleaner has wrecked my system
The title may seem alarmist as there seems to be so much support hereabouts for Ccleaner but I beleive it may be true. Let me explain.
Recently I noticed many of my icons had reverted to generic windows. So I tried a system restore. This failed with an error message saying some files could not be accessed and gave the code 0x80070005. After some advice searching I made sure I 'owned' my entire drive, turned off UAC, uninstalled antivirus software and tried again with the same result.
After more searching it was suggested that Ccleaner had deleted my c:\windows\installer folder. I looked and there was no such folder. As a result I cannot now re-install or uninstall a lot of my third party programs - including Microsoft Office . Missing icons was just the tip of the iceburg. I do believe Ccleaner is the culprit as it includes an option to turn off access to the system 'installer'.
I visited Piriform's site to discover that technical support is only offered if you pay for it .
Why would Ccleaner delete such an important folder? but more importantly how can I recover my system restore? I do not want to disable and then enable it as I need access to previous restore points (even though I don't know if this will even help).
Does anyone know of any way to regain the installation information which was held within the deleted 'installer' folder? What is a repair re-install?
I will not be using Ccleaner again and I cannot even tell them why. Imbecilic sharks.

I would be willing to bet that CCleaner had nothing to do with your issues. The system restores and other steps you tried probably compounded what was a simple fix. Starting from the beginning, instead of a system restore, you could have just followed the steps on here to rebuild your icon cache. It's a simple batch file to download and run.
I'll add this disclaimer first...that I don't tell others to disable system restore. However, I do on my person systems because it has never solved an issue for me, and has only left systems in an unstable state for me, much like you describe. Please note, I am not telling others to disable system restore...I just do so on my own systems because I'd rather solve the issue than roll back to a spot where it can reappear.
As for CCleaner, I've been using it for years, and have never been able to destroy or damage an install by using it. It sounds more like your registry was hosed by multiple system restores and trying to take ownership of a drive you already should have had ownership of.

Wow. 2 replies already.
Thanks for the welcome. Yes my files are unhidden and I can see the folder now because I did manage to install a different version of Adobe reader.
I too have been using Ccleaner for years with no problems until now. My Win7 installation is less than two months old and from the begining I was denied access to certain files/folders even though I am the only user and an administator. This was a surprise and frustration to me so I 're-owned' my C drive after searching here. This did the trick, or so I thought.
Now you have me thinking because, as I said, my install is not old and I cannot pinpoint exactly when this problem started. The fact remains, though, that the 'installer' folder vanished (I read here that this has been known with Ccleaner). Could 'owning' cause the dissappearance?
BTW I have not restored before in this install.
Also, rebuilding the icon cache was the first thing I tried before I realised my problems were more than just untidy icons - the 'installer' folder was missing.

I wonder if CCleaner is the cause of the problem. CCleaner offers to backup your changes which I always do. A double click will restore the settings later.

I'm with mjf, I think taking ownership of your disk did more harm than good. Microsoft setup windows that way for a reason, don't mess with it if you don't know what you doing, especially the system folders. Only advice I can give you, is image, image, image!

How recent are these events? You can try restoring pristine copies of reg hives from the regback folder (C:\windows\system32\config\regback) provided the copies predate the disastrous events. Heres the procedure, dont worry about the tiltle of the tut and skip steps 6,7,8 and 9 cos they dont apply in this case.

While Ccleaner is a useful tool in the hands of someone with experience it can be disastrous in the hands of the less skilled.

It can be very difficult to get to a point in your life when you recognize that you can't do it all yourself.
It may be as simple as getting down on your hands and knees to look under the table or as complex as solving an automotive problem that in prior years you were able to repair yourself.
For some, it is as hard to admit the shortcoming as it is to say out loud, "I need some help with this."
Once it's out in the open, this vulnerability to admitting we need help, seems a bit closer to solving.
Getting a grandchild to retrieve that item from under the table and locating a good mechanic are the coping mechanisms we use when we come upon tasks we can no longer accomplish.
It doesn't mean we aren't completely capable in other ways but there are limitations.
What happens when we begin looking for solutions and then don't know what the exact solution is, don't know where to look for it, and don't know who to trust?
It's particularly important when the issue centers on a person and their life.
My wife and I are in our mid 80s. We've never had children and are independent in our own home. Although we both have some health issues, we are managing quite well. We worry, however, about what will happen as our health declines. We have specific ideas of what we want but don't know where to start. What should we do?
Finding trusted advisors is always the best place to start when planning for your life.
Trust is defined as reliability, truth, integrity and strength of character of someone or something. If the advisor has appropriate credentials i.e., an attorney well regarded in the community and expertise in the type of law you need, you should be able to develop a trust relationship.
The same holds true for a banker, CPA/accountant and other credentialed professionals such as geriatric care managers whose expertise is assistance with life planning for older adults.
My mother has agreed to have someone come in to help with my father's care. He has Parkinson's disease, gets easily confused and can't be left alone. I live out of town but have a list of home care companies and a list of individuals who will work for my parents. My mother wants to hire a neighbor who will work for less money. I have a concern about trusting anyone in the house with my father alone. What should I tell my mother?
Remember trust means, "reliability, truth, integrity and strength of character."
There are legalities that must be followed if you hire anyone privately along with questions of education and training. What does this person know about Parkinson's disease? Do you know them well enough to feel they are telling the truth? Are they honest?
Talk to others in the community to see which agency is the best, has the best reputation, is the most reliable and talk to them about helping you decide what would help and be cost effective as well.
My wife is not well and sleeps only a few hours during the night. I get up to help her so I am not getting any sleep, either.
I want to talk this over with my son when he stops by but he's always in a hurry. I'm worried that my own health is getting worse. I'm unsure how much longer I can keep this up. Who can help me?
Your wife's doctor may be able to help. Try and remember when the sleepless nights began. Did she have a change in her medications? Did you buy new pillows? Is she eating or drinking liquids just before bed?
Make an appointment for her and go in with her giving the doctor all the information you can to help. Even if it's a long standing problem, the doctor may be able suggest a solution or an alternative medication without that side effect.
Talking to your son is important, too.
Ask him next time he stops by if he could come over for a talk and stay a bit longer to talk about what's going on caring for his mother. Include him in the ongoing conversations so he'll continue to feel a part of the decisions but he also may be able to help by spending the night once a week so you can get a good uninterrupted night's sleep.
We live on a fixed income and are already worried about outliving our savings. I hate to spend money on someone coming into help so we are doing it by ourselves. How will I know when it's time to get help one way or another? How do I know how much "it" costs? What's out there for us?
My mother had a favorite saying: "The Lord helps those that help themselves." I think all of us keep thinking we can do it all until one day, we can't.
You're lying in a hospital bed after a broken hip thinking I knew I should have built that ramp years ago.
We each have our own version of our crystal ball but planning doesn't cost anything and can help avert a tragedy. So remember the "trust factor" and begin collecting information on whom to trust with what and set it up so you have it when you need it. Be wary of anyone or anything that isn't "tried and true."
Cost? Shop by phoning and ask. Tell the company what you're looking for. Review their Website, what other customers say about them, how long they've been in business and ask for references.
Compare the costs with those of retirement facilities, assisted living facilities and skilled nursing homes.
Consider sitting down with a credentialed geriatric professional to consult and answer the questions you have in front of you.
Talk to your doctor or nurse practitioner about who to talk with.
Try out an agency. Let them know you're planning ahead when you will need help. Hire them for 2 weeks, 2 times a week. See who they send, how trained the person is, how helpful and honest they are, how they bill, if their staff is trained, if they send a knowledgeable person to do the home visit, etc.
Ask if you can use them on an "as needed" basis.
By doing some work ahead of time, you'll be better prepared.
My children and I don't get along and they live a distance from me. What kind of legal documents should I have to make sure my wishes are followed? Who should I choose to help me when I need it?
It can be very difficult if there has been no planning around who's in charge if you can't be.
The doctors and the hospital need someone to tell them how to treat you (if you're unable to tell them yourself). The bills need to be paid. Someone needs to feed and care for your old dog or cat that is wondering where you are.
Someone needs to physically help you should you need help or make decisions in your best interest should your memory fail.
Deciding on whom to trust with these important decisions is crucial to you and your life. Deciding and talking to a good friend or two can help if they agree to be your agent with Powers of Attorney for healthcare and finances (two separate documents).
Getting these signed with copies to family, your physician and local hospital can help greatly. Deciding who will take the dog or cat either until you recuperate or as their new owner can give you relief when you're unable to care for them.
Decisions such as these are not easy and shouldn't be made lightly. Taking the time to think about how you live your life, how you'd like to continue and who you trust to be involved can make the difference between quality of life and life as existence.
Look to the ones you trust.

Adding DVD media for install on Mandriva 2010.0
Hi everyone.
I am currently running Mandriva 2010.0 Free 32bit on a HP530 series laptop which is an upgrade via the internet from Mandriva 2009.1. Problem is that my laptop dvd drive doesn't work but i have an external dvd writer. (For complete install purposes) I downloaded mandriva 2010.0 free (http://mirrors.telkomsa.net/pub/linu...al/2010.0/i586) and burned it to a dvd. it seems to work fine except when i try to install from the dvd. I have tried several times to install from the DVD but it just wont work, so I gave up. What I want to do now is to ADD THE DVD as an installation medium for software. I've tries this using the 'urpmi.addmedia --distrib *' command and the 'add a custom medium' in mandriva control centre but i can't get the right command to specift the exact location and name of the install medium.
The external DVD drive works fine because i can, for instance, install the previous mandriva 2009 or open and write DVDs.
Can someone please help me to specify the correct name and location of the dvd media.
I don't know if im missing any other information that would help someone who wants to help me, plz let me know if am.
thanks in advance

National League Standings, September 23, 2006
Very shortly after that comment, watching that play unfold, the collision between 1B Nick Johnson and RF Austin Kearns, it reminded me of Joe Theisman getting hit by Lawrence Taylor on Monday Night Football back in the mid '80s. And how it reminded me of that football play was Washington National 2B Jose Vidro motioning to the bench to send medical help over -- just like LT did back then -- the only difference being that Vidro motioned for the help while the play was still ongoing and before he retrieved the ball, probably hearing the sound of the injury. I saw on the internet that Johnson had to chew on a towel to minimize the pain while waiting for medical assistance.
Good luck to Nick Johnson. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.
For future Mets trivia, David Wright hit the ball, and was credited for a triple on the play.

The game was supposed to be a night game but due to FOX, it started at 1:25pm under cool, cloudy skies. Before the game they had a parade of dogs around the field and then they went to their seats in the bleachers.
I also saw the first collision of players in person when National players Nick Johnson and Austin Kearns collided with Johnson winding up with a broken leg. (I thought he had suffered a concussion as he was on the ground for a long time as Shea grew very silent.) Even the P.A. system was silent in the 9th and didn't play "Enter Sandman" when Wagner came in and almost gave us some excitement when he didn't have a 1-2-3 inning in a non-save situlation.

Was at this game with my 4 month old shephard/chow chow mix Dodger! He and I and my girlfriend Krystal had a ball with him there. We got to walk all around the stadium and I was in awe to be on the field where my favorite sport team plays. Went totally bananas when David Wright hit a 3-run homer in the fifth to give the Mets the lead. Was jumping up and down in the bleachers holding Dodger in my arms. It was an AWESOME feeling. Left in the 7th inning and got home in time to see Nick Johnson laying on the outfield grass with a fractured leg. Have gone to 8 games this year and Mets have not lost yet! Wish I had PLAYOFF TICKETS!
Example One
The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with
any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:
Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a
double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith
and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in
the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and
we would let it remain.
We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our
site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take
steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate

It's women's curling version of 20-20 and it means the field for the Scott Tournament of Hearts is looking better all the time.
The Hearts returns to London after 20 years and Colleen Jones will be playing in it for the 20th time.
The five-time Canadian champion and two-time world titlist headlines an impressive list of provincial qualifiers who were determined over the weekend, leaving only two of the 12 entries yet to be decided.
Jones won the Nova Scotia title with a 9-8 extra-end win over defending champion Kay Zinck in the final at Antigonish. She and her veteran rink of Kim Kelly, Mary-Anne Arsenault and Nancy Delahunt have a combined 49 previous Hearts appearances, winning it all in 1999 and from 2001-04.
- Kelly Scott, who lost the Olympic trials final to Alberta's Shannon Kleibrink last month in Halifax, retained her B.C. championship and will be making her second Hearts appearance.
- Cathy King, who as Cathy Borst won the 1998 Hearts, is back for her seventh Hearts after winning the Alberta title.
- Janet Harvey earned a trip to her third Hearts after taking the Manitoba final.
- Heather Strong is the Newfoundland and Labrador champion for the sixth time.
- Kerry Koe of Yellowknife repeated as the Territories champion.
- Andrea Kelly of Saint John, last year's Canadian junior women's champion, won her first New Brunswick women's title and will be making her Hearts debut.
Three rinks had already been determined before the weekend -- Winnipeg's Jennifer Jones as Team Canada, Suzanne Gaudet of P.E.I. and Eve Belisle of Quebec.
Gaudet, who won the 2003 Southwestern Ontario Women's Charity Cashspiel in the fall after going 10-1 and eventually finishing third at the Hearts the previous spring, is appearing in her third Hearts.
Belisle, who played in the SOWCC last October, is in her first Hearts.
In addition to the Ontario championship being played in Fort Frances, the Saskatchewan final opens today with defending champion Stefanie Lawton among the entries.
Merklinger calls it a career
Anne Merklinger, a four-time Ontario champion and two-time national runner-up, will retire from top-level competition after the World Curling Tour championships in Calgary in April.
"I took a step back and realized that I'd been doing this for 30 years and that it would be tough and it would be emotional," said Merklinger, 47.
"I've played the game for a long time and played it hard. I just felt it was time."
Her brother Dave will be the head icemaker for the Hearts.

Beating The August Blues, With Help From Uncle Sam
The news of late has been particularly worrying. Stock market stumbles, famine in Africa and precious human cargo lost in Afghanistan make even an optimist seek reassurance.
But writer Gwen Thompkins says that bad news always stings more during the month of August. She says the best way to beat the August blues is with old-fashioned American know-how.
This is the time of year when I like to thumb through one of my favorite books. I know exactly where it is on the shelf. There's a stain on the cover, and some of the pages are crumpled from my rolling over in bed and sleeping on top of it.
Come August, it's time to revisit the U.S. Army Survival Manual.
In August, thoughts of survival are ever-present. Because August, unlike other months, is about inevitability.
If something bad happens to you in April or July, or heaven forbid December, there's a sense among your loved ones that your misfortune was somehow ill-timed.
But if a natural or man-made calamity happens to you in August, there's a whisper of a belief among your friends and family that it was fated to happen. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse must earn time-and-a-half in August. And they're riding Seabiscuit, Secretariat, Foolish Pleasure and Man o'War.
By August, the promise of summer has turned into a witch's cackle. There's the heat, of course, otherwise known as, "the horror, the horror." In New Orleans, the long nights are above 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
Hear that ole train in the background? Hop it and you're only going to end up somewhere as clammy as the inside of a dog's mouth. Nobody here even sits on the porch this time of year — unless it's hotter inside.
No month connects our species to prehistoric times the way August does. All the affectations born of human achievement fall away and we are simply animals up from the muck. If the masters of war could ever find a way to make a weapon out of heat and humidity, they'd rule the universe. That's probably what all those comic book villains are after: the power to sic August on us at will.
That hag Katrina was an August storm.
Both atomic bombs fell in August.
Philippine leader Benigno Aquino Jr. and that poor Bolshevik — Leon Trotsky — were both murdered in August; Aquino by a sniper's bullet and Trotsky, an ice pick to the eye. Ouch!
But the U.S. Army Survival Manual reminds us that we have a hand in our own fate. Or, at the very least, it suggests that there will be a September.
"Vanquish fear and panic," the manual says. "Improvise." On the practical side, it tells us to keep clean. If you are out of soap, it says, you can use ashes or sand. If water is scarce, take an "air bath": "Remove as much of your clothing as practical and expose your body to sun and air."
That I can do.
I love August, because at the end of the 31 days I feel as if I've won the Medal of Honor — or Freedom, whichever is cooler.
If — as the manual says — you can avoid female fleas laying eggs under your toenails, or leeches burrowing through your shoe eyelets, or drinking too much alcohol, if you can conserve sweat, gather potable water in a tree crotch, rest regularly and let the sun direct you, then you might just make it through.
The most helpful advice the U.S. Army Survival Manual offers is to value living. It says, "Stubbornness, a refusal to give in to problems and obstacles that face you, will give you the mental and physical strength to endure."
And, if I may, I would add that the occasional popsicle helps, too.

I ordered my guitar a couple days ago and now it turns out that they have to get more from the vendor so my guitar pry won't even ship until the first week of January
anyone else ever order from KraftMusic? Was it a good experience?
yup - they're usually pretty good. they own a drum board i used to post on (vdrums.com), and also ship from amazon, and i haven't seen many complaints (well, i haven't seen any, but didn't look THAT hard). waiting is a pain in the ass, though. what guitar did you order?
Yamaha FG730s in vintage cherry... They called me and said that I could change to a different color and I could get it sooner.. I thought that was nice of them so they seem pretty good.
well, if you really like the vintage cherry, it will be worth the wait.
It said it was ready to ship earlier today but apparently didn't ship today.. The wait is killing meee
