Get DVD Talk Feeds
These days, the "car situation" is complicated by the fact that, nine out of ten independent projects I see, the writer and director are one and the same. It's an industry of garage-band auteurs out there, all looking to make sure the screenplay they toiled over for years and years ends up on screen exactly the way they viewed it in their head. Since I am like everyone else, and I too have the same aspirations, I certainly understand the sentiment, but relinquishing even a little of that control to a co-writer or another director will bring the all-too-crucial element of perspective to a movie. In the case of Weather Girl, the perspective I would have sought out would have been a feminine one, since writer/director Blayne Weaver places himself on top of an already large pile of male filmmakers responsible for movies that fail the crucial Bechdel test: a) there must be two women in the movie, b) they must talk to each other and c) about something besides a man. Thanks to the efforts of the cast, the film overcomes the problems that stem from said failure to an extent, but when the "Weather Girl" in question, Sylvia (Tricia O'Kelley) has a slight panic attack in her brother's apartment after committing career suicide on live TV and the number one thing on her list of problems is the fact that she no longer has a boyfriend, I rolled my eyes a little.
To back up a step: "career suicide" for Sylvia involves ripping into her former lover, eternally congenial anchor Dale (Mark Harmon) on her crappy, jokey morning talk-slash-news show for cheating on her with the other anchor, Sherry ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" star Kaitlin Olson), by presenting Sherry's panties to the both of them and walking out. Her brother, Wade (Ryan Devlin), allows her to stay at his apartment, where she drowns her sorrows in the occasional beer and sleeps on the couch. One day, when she returns home, she discovers a stranger sitting at Wade's computer, who identifies himself as Byron (Patrick J. Adams), Wade's best friend and next-door neighbor.
The chemistry between O'Kelley, Devlin and Adams is really the backbone of what works about Weather Girl. Right from the beginning Byron makes no bones about his interest in Sylvia, who knocks him back a little amidst continued reeling from her televised breakup, but dives into a "no-strings-attached" sexual fling with him after a catastrophic date with a rich sleazebag (Jon Cryer in a very funny cameo). It takes little while for O'Kelley's charm to come out (because her character spends the first half-hour or so in a state of perpetual frustration), but when she warms up, the movie really takes off. Admittedly, I'm not sure I buy the burning passion between O'Kelley and Adams, but I do believe the friendship and banter between them, and I also buy the brother-sister bond between O'Kelley and Devlin, which isn't overplayed the way I've seen it done in lots of movies. The only time any scene involving more than one of the actors faltered for me comes near the end, where Wade makes not one but two Big Important Speeches to Byron and Sylvia separately; the speech to Byron I believe, but it seems ridiculous to me that he'd proceed to run across town to give a similar speech to his sister too.
Returning to the Bechdel test, there are a few questionable peripheral female characters who only exist to talk about men. Sylvia has two friends, Emily (Alex Kapp Horner) and Jane (Marin Hinkle), who act like stereotypical "girlfriends", trying to lift Sylvia's spirits but also being somewhat catty and critical of her love life. Olson is also basically wasted in a side role referred to more often as "the mousy bitch" than by the character's actual name. I understand that Olson's character Sherry is a love rival of Sylvia's and that friends can be lame, but there isn't a single scene in Weather Girl where Sylvia totally and completely gets along with another woman (which also includes Jane Lynch in a brief cameo as Sylvia's new boss), a fact that seems mighty distracting to me.
The plot winds itself around before coming to one of those massive, life-altering decisions that these kinds of movies usually arrive at, and I was conflicted by the situation it presents. Without getting too spoilery, Sylvia is forced to answer yes or no to a decision with two pieces to it, and it's clear that one of those two pieces is an absolute no-no. However, I'm not sure I buy that the other half of the decision is nearly as bad as the movie builds it up to be (the film suggests it would go against all the values that Sylvia stands for when it seems like it would offer her valuable stability). But Weather Girl isn't particularly interested in the nuts and bolts of the decision, nor any other parts of the outcome other than the more crowd-pleasing elements. I suppose there's nothing wrong with that -- the movie is definitely pleasing -- but I still think with a bit of perspective, it could have been more.
The DVD, Video and Audio
Weather Girl arrived in a paper sleeve, so I can't confidently grade the packaging, video and audio for this release, which looked kinda smeary and occasionally featured the subtitle "SCREENING COPY ONLY" during the movie. When Weather Girl arrives on DVD for real, it should include a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer, Dolby Digital 5.1, and no subtitles.
The Extras
The cardboard sleeve artwork I got makes no mention of the feature-length audio commentary by writer/director Blayne Weaver and actors Tricia O'Kelley, Ryan Devlin and Patrick J. Adams. It's one of those chatty, jokey-style tracks as opposed to a particularly informational track. Since the cast is one of the best things about Weather Girl, I can't say I minded that much, because it's funny (running Rubik's Cube jokes are a highlight) and listenable and I'm sure fans of the movie will enjoy it quite a bit, but at the same time, the track doesn't do anything to stand out among tracks of the same ilk, and it doesn't shine a light on Weaver's writing process at all.
2 extremely brief deleted scenes (1:54) and an outtakes reel (3:16), which are both sort of skippable, wrap up the bonus features. On the final DVD, there will also be a featurette, but apparently it wasn't done at the time they pressed these screeners, because it's listed on the menu but not selectable.
For some reason, the movie's original theatrical trailer also played before the movie. There are no other trailers before the menu.
The charms of Weather Girl may have been limited by the singular vision behind the movie, but there are definitely charms to be had. The DVD comes with a fairly funny audio commentary (although who knows how good the A/V quality is), so anybody looking for a lightly charming romance could do worse than to rent it and give it a spin.

Green, Amber, Red: Student Road-Safety Teams in oPt
By Monica Awad
JERUSALEM, 4 June 2005 - On a Monday morning, 30 professionals from various ministries, district offices and non-governmental organizations were seated in a training hall discussing road-traffic safety measures in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt).
Seated among them - almost inconspicuously - were six young girls adorned in orange jackets and caps. Kiyafa, a 12-year old girl student from the Abu Kash road-traffic safety team, spoke about the important role students can play in road-traffic safety measures.
With poise and confidence in her voice, Kifaya said: "Since the beginning of the school year, our team has been able to protect our fellow students from road-traffic accidents." As a result of Israeli-imposed restrictions on access and closures, Abu Kash has become the main route that links the main city of Ramallah with all surrounding villages.
The road-traffic safety team participated in a training programme on road-traffic safety measures. Fatimah, the teacher at Abu Kash School who accompanied the road-traffic safety team to the workshop included six hours of practical training on the road. The training was carried out by experts from the Ministry of Transport in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE).
Each participating school in the road safety campaign trained two groups of students, with a team leader. Each team is comprised of six students. Two students hold and manage the stop sign, two manage the whistles, and one support student helps younger or disabled students cross the street. All members of the team wear a bright orange jacket and bright orange or yellow cap that are visible from a distance.
Kifaya, whose name means 'enough,' supervises the way her peers manage the road traffic, and jots down the names of students who violate the road safety team's instructions and submits them to the school principal for action. "At the beginning of the campaign, I used to jot down many names because our peers did not take us seriously. But for the past three months there was no need to jot down even one name they realized the importance of our role."
Watching the team in action is like watching an orchestra playing harmonious music flowing smoothly. Said Kiaya: "I enjoy my role as a team member. I feel I gained a sense of responsibility, attributes of leadership and principles of empowerment."
Teacher Fatimah says, as a result of their primary involvement in the road-traffic safety campaign, the school grades of Kifaya and others have improved, due to their sense of responsibility and active participation in their society.
The road-traffic safety campaign is part of the life skills based education project aimed at equipping students with vital skills such as empowerment, a sense of responsibility, the ability to participate positively in their society. It is part of the global child-friendly schools concept.
At the local level, the MoEHE - with the technical support from UNICEF and in cooperation with various ministries and non-governmental organizations - is currently implementing the road safety campaign in 85 schools in three phases.
The first includes research through conducting a knowledge, attitude and practices survey of students and community at large. The second component includes training of more than 1700 students, 170 teachers.
The third component aims at equipping schools with needed materials for the 340 road-traffic safety teams of students as well as materials for the drawing contests, songs and story telling for the participating schools. All of this would not have been possible without the generous contribution of Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).

Good Questions: How Do I Organize This Area?
When maximizing space, it's a creative challenge to find room for all of your cherished belongings let alone day-to-day things, like cleaning supplies. ATLA reader, joe_g, sent us a question asking for help on how to conceal these products.
"Hi AT, I really need your help! I enjoy my outdoor patio to relax and entertain friends. I also need to keep my cleaning supplies out there, like the broom, mop etc., since I have no room inside. This narrow section of the patio is perfect for the supplies but they are such an eye sore. Any ideas on how to conceal them? Obviously they are tall and most storage units I have found to put them in are too bulky?"
We all can relate to finding a home for these everyday items that we use to keep our homes clean and fresh.

David Beckham Gets New Tattoo Tribute to Victoria [PHOTO]

Back in 1940, pin-up girl Betty Grable insured her legs for $1 million -- and a cottage industry was born. Since then, stars and the people who hire them have taken out policies covering just about every body part you can imagine. While the oft-repeated story about Jennifer Lopez insuring her butt for $300 million has been largely debunked and no, Tom Jones' chest hair does not have a multi-million dollar policy of its own, there are plenty of (reasonably) verifiable insurance stories out there.
Ladies around the world are still fanning themselves after seeing the pics from David Beckham's latest H&M campaign. Who can blame them? The soccer star knows just how to make us weak in the knees. But long before Beckham stripped down to his skivvies, actor Kellan Lutz was flaunting his six-pack for Calvin Klein. Who's print ad is more swoon-worthy?
H&M revealed some new snaps (or someone unveiled them against their will) from David Beckham's 2013 Bodywear line, and we couldn't be happier. Spoiler: They feature David Beckham the way he should always be, shirtless and posing in underwear.
Mark Wahlberg was a bit of a problem teen and young adult -- there was the whole jail thing, the cocaine addiction thing, the hate crimes -- so he has some advice for another newly troubled star, Justin Bieber.
He also had some apologies to make, namely to David Beckham.
Stop the metaphorical presses! David Beckham shared a photo containing incontrovertible proof that his wife can and does smile.
Personally, we're more shocked about the "can" part of that sentence.
At yesterday's (May 28) Los Angeles Kings' Stanley Cup playoff game against the San Jose Sharks, former soccer star David Beckham and his 22-month-old daughter Harper were spotted on the arena's Kiss Cam -- and the results were "awwwww" inspiring. (See what we did there?)
Former soccer (okay, rest of the world, "football") player David Beckham couldn't decide into what religion to christen his son, which is gonna make his Muslim Bar Mitzvah super awkward.
Pro soccer player (aka our golden god) David Beckham is retiring.
From playing. Not from being the fire of lady loins.
Look at the dog. Now look at David Beckham. Now look back at the dog. It is now five times cuter.
We couldn't have a best bodies list without including the perpetually shirtless soccer/football player David Beckham, could we?
No. No we could not.
American Girl dolls: they're the stuff nightmares are made of, with their unblinking soulless eyes, buck teeth and collectibility among grown women. However, this did not stop Victoria and David Beckham from buying one for their son, Romeo.
On the one hand, we applaud them for allowing their son to play with the toys he wants, regardless of what kind of toys they are (My Buddy made that one possible once), but we wish it was one that didn't look like it was going to come alive at night and strangle him.
As part of her 'Undercover' segment on her daytime talk show, Ellen DeGeneres sends celebrities out into the real world and forces them to obey her every command.
This time around, her victim was David Beckham, who had to ask Target customers if they'd like to try his perfume. And by "his perfume," we mean the David Beckham brand of perfume.
This week, soccer player David Beckham showed off his considerable assets while simultaneously promoting his new bodywear collection with H&M.
Prompting us to think, "Why hello there. How polite of you to carry a salami around in case we get hungry."

Freddie Smith hopes audiences will accept new version of popular gay couple on Days of Our Lives
'We're still telling a great story and shedding light on what's happening'
On 2 January, viewers of the popular NBC soap Days of Our Lives will see Chandler Massey in the role of Will Horton for the last time.
The two-time Emmy winner played for the role for nearly four years – through Will's denial of being gay, his coming out to himself then to the whole town then falling in love with his friend Sonny Kiriakis.
Will also was charged with murder along the way, got shot and also got his ex-girlfriend pregnant.
Beginning 8 January, the role of Will Horton will be played by Guy Wilson who has been shooting episodes since the fall (the soap tapes several months ahead).
Freddie Smith, who plays Sonny, is hopeful that the show's loyal fans – and especially fans of the couple known as WilSon – will continue to embrace the storyline with a new actor in the role of Will.
'I really want people to give this new version of WilSon a chance,' Smith tells CBS Soaps In Depth. 'We're still telling a great story and shedding light on what's happening. It's truly rewarding.'
Soap opera re-castings are commonplace but since this is one half of one of the few gay couples on daytime TV, it will be closely watched to see if Smith has the same easy chemistry with Wilson as he did with Massey.
There is also the perception that the transition between the two actors was not handled especially well.
Although he had made his intention to leave the show clear, Massey had planned to work through to the end of his four-year contract which was up at the end of this month. That would have left him on the air as Will through March.
Although Massey refused to complain during an exclusive interview with Gay Star News on his final day of shooting, it soon surfaced that he had been blindsided by producers by being let go more than three months early.

Maoist attack: Chidambaram accepts failure
Terming the Maoists attack on a police camp in West Bengal as outrageous, Home Minister P Chidambaram on Tuesday accepted there were indications of "failure" in some aspects which only a detailed review would reveal.india Updated: Feb 16, 2010 17:05 IST
Terming the Maoists attack on a police camp in West Bengal as outrageous, Home Minister P Chidambaram on Tuesday accepted there were indications of "failure" in some aspects which only a detailed review would reveal.
"While there are indications of failure in some aspects, only a thorough review will reveal how the police camp with
adequate strength was overrun, when there was day light, by the CPI (Maoist)," he said in a statement here.
The Home Minister, who spoke to West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, said the attack is "another outrageous attempt by the banned organisation to overawe the established authority in the State."
"I condemn the attack. There has been a massive loss of lives. Besides, more than 40 weapons are reported to have been
looted. The leader of the CPI (Maoist) has claimed responsibility for the attack and has threatened to repeat
such attacks in the future.
"Every attack of this kind exposes the true nature and character of the CPI(Maoist). Their goal is to seize power.
Their weapon is violence. No organisation or group in a democratic republic has the right to take to violence to overpower the established legal authority," he said, criticising a number of "well meaning organisation" that find "legitimacy" in the armed struggle by CPI
Chidambaram said "unfortunately" this simple truth has escaped a number of well-meaning organisations that find "legitimacy" in the armed liberation struggle carried on by the CPI (Maoist).
"I know that the overwhelming majority in this country will condemn the mindless violence unleashed by the CPI
(Maoist) and will support the careful, controlled and calibrated efforts being taken by the Central and State
Governments to put an end to the violence.
"However, I would like to hear the voices of condemnation of those who have, erroneously, extended intellectual and
material support to the CPI (Maoist)," he said.
The Home Minister said, "It is only if the whole country rejects the preposterous theses of the CPI (Maoist) and condemns the so-called 'armed liberation struggle' that we can put an end to the menace of naxalism and bring development and
progress to the people in the conflict zones."
24 Eastern Frontier Rifle jawans were killed on Monday when the ultras overran their camp at Silda in West Midnapore
district after setting it on fire. Three Maoists and a civilian were also killed in the attack.
There were 51 EFR jawans and officers in the camp when the attack took place, police said, adding that many of them
are still missing.
Chidambaram offered condolences to the families of the slain jawans.
He pointed out that during the 3-day bandh called by the CPI (Maoist) from February 7, their main target was railway
There were a total of 11 incidents -- three in Bihar, six in Jharkhand and two in Orissa, he said.
The Home Minister said tracks were blown up, railway stations attacked, bombs placed on railway property and
railway officials assaulted.

Putting an attorney in a church is a great set up for humor.
Lawyers aren't any worse than anyone else, but some people believe they might bend the truth now and then on their client's behalf. In the comedy ''Liar, liar,'' Jim Carrey plays a slippery divorce lawyer who couldn't lie -- with initially devastating consequences to his career.
So when St. Augustine attorney Joe Boles tells people his 2,800-square-foot office, at 19 Riberia St., is a former church, he waits for the inevitable joke.
It probably won't be funny.
click photo to enlarge
By RALPH D. PRIDDY, Staff
But at least his neighbors are smiling. They're glad to have him right where he is. Boles needed a zoning exception from the city to be allowed to put a one-person law office at the corner of Riberia and Saragossa streets.
It was a residential zone, but the neighborhood didn't object. A developer had been interested in putting a multi-family housing at that corner, and the nearby residents would rather have an office.
''They would have had to bulldoze this church,'' Boles said.
The two buildings on the lot were actually built sometime in the early 1920s by Florida East Coast Railroad, which used one as a stable and the other as a maintenance building.
Later, the buildings were joined and became a Seventh Day Adventist church.
When the Adventists moved to their new building on U.S. 1 South, they sold to First Christian Church, which eventually grew to 86 parishioners and recently acquired property further out of town to grow.
''These buildings were built really well, structurally,'' Boles said. ''A.D. Davis (Construction) still had to gut the building all the way back to the beams. We replaced the floor, ceiling, walls, electrical, plumbing, heat and air, doors and windows.
But he added that now he had more room, a better layout and much more parking. The parking lot is also used by St. Augustine Youth Services next door.
''There are college kids and friends all around. This is a good neighborhood,'' he said.
Hints of its church pedigree remains in the cut of a ceiling beam here or the width of a doorway there. His office is large and welcoming, with fine oriental rugs, art on the walls and other eclectic but interesting collections and pieces.
A religious undercurrent is provided by an old Spanish crucifix, which didn't come from either of the churches.
And in another bit of somber decoration, large and imposing antique oil portraits of grandees and soldiers from the 1800s line the walls of the waiting room.
But it's an inside joke. Boles is not related to any one of them.
He specializes in family, elder and business law, and says he's been in a few ''bleak and austere'' law offices and didn't want to work in one himself.
His artistic taste comes naturally. He earned a degree in art in 1975 from the University of Florida and worked as a commercial artist for a time, but later he went back to UF and earned a law degree in 1984.
In private practice ever since, he is also active in the community, working as a member or board member with the Council on Aging, St. Augustine Lighthouse, the Welfare Federation, Rotary Club, Buckingham Smith Foundation, St. Augustine Amphitheater Foundation, First Tee program and his own Flagler Memorial Presbyterian Church, where he was confirmed.
He also is master of ceremonies for the Betty Griffin House benefit dinner every year.
''We want people to come in and feel comfortable,'' he said. ''I just tell them I have a righteous office.
His mother, Maurine Boles, is very proud of Joe. She says the new office is much like the old one, full of antiques.
''I say that when a congregation leaves a church, the church goes with them,'' she said. ''It's a good space for him. He appreciates it. But it looked hopeless at first.''
Workmen are still making a few changes. An extra bathroom was added and others upgraded to permit handicapped access. The windows, which were not stained glass, were replaced with more efficient ones. And a former choir room was turned into his personal art studio.
Boles said that, in some ways, he's a little like a pastoral counselor.
''The very first counselors were religious-based,'' he said. ''That's basically what I do. People have problems and I try to fix them.''

Austria's geographical position enabling
her to do so at a moment's notice.
The assent ot the English premier to this

EMl'EUOIt WILLIAM AND PRINCE
The Emperor has been shooting on the
estates of Count Von Wc'dc-M'ie-sdorf, chief
of the imperial household, at Tlesdorf, and
Prince Henry ot Trussia and his wife,
Trincess Irene, it is announced, will spend
the coming winter in Italy. Consequently
they will not be able to appear at court
this season
As the rumors of discord between the
Emperor and his brother are likely to bo
revived because of the lattcr's absence. It
is given o it that the reason for his absence
is the deiicatestateof health ot the princess,
which statement is partly true. The Em
peror will review the naval recruits at
Kiel about the middle of December and
has promised to go to Buda Pesth to be
present at the Honved Millennial celebra
tions. The projected international exhibition
In Berlin in 1600 has been found Impossible
because of the project of the Gennau Na
tional Exhibition, which the managers
thereof endeavored to substitute for 'the
International Exposition. That scheme,
however. Is also failing, and has so far
dwindled into a mere Berlin trades and
art treasury exhibition.
The head of the management ot the Royal
Opera House has always been regarded as
a high court official, but It appears that the
present incumbent. Count von Hochberg, is
not. The post is a desirable one to a rinical
aristocrat as the dictum of the incumbent is
absolute in dealing with rows betwcen
actors, actresses, singers and others and
therefore the manager Is regarded by him
self and everybody- else as mighty per
sonage. The actual management ot the
opera house has of late drifted into the
bauds of the director, Herr Person, who is
an energetic and refined gentleman and a
tood musician.
It is announced that Count von Hochberg
Is about to be appointed the successor of
Count von Wedel-I'lesdorf as minister of the
Imperial household and that Baron von
Ulolsen, now manager of the Royal Theater
ot Wilsbaden, will succeed Count von Hoch
berg, taking the active management of the
Royal Optra Houso In Berlin. Outsiders
may think that these changes amount to
very little, but they have no idea of the
Interest and importance which aristocratic
circles attach to them. v
The delay of the telegraph In supply
ing Berlin with good reports of Lord Salis
bury's speech at the Mansion House banquet
In London last night has seriously re
tarded the publication of press comments.
Several special correspondents were able
to furnish their papers with summaries
of the speech, but they are not sufficiently
comprehensive to serve as the bases of
clalwrate editorials.
In official circles, however, tho state
ment of the British premier is regarded as
being as explicit as the situation will per
mit and is generally considered satisfac
tory and reaasurlng.
Great Interest has centeraSt In the pro
gress of a trial which occupied the atten
tion of the courts in -Munich Inst week.
The defendants were scleral well-known
dealers in high clacs picture's, who were
accused of receiving mid felling stolen
pictures from the brush of the celebrated
German portrait painter, Franz Lchbaclr,
The court-room was crowded with society
people, artists, etc., who followed the case
with great attention and a large number
of witnesses vvcreexamlned.
One witness, a tailor numed Stendal,
swore that he was an cmateur painter
and had devoted his leisure hours to
painting imitations of Lenbach's portraits
of Trlnce Bismarck, Count von Caprivi,
and other notable persons. One of his
picture's of Gen, Caprivi he had himself
seen sold in the shop of a well-known
and .reputable dealer as a genuine Len
bach. The prosecution was unable to prove
that any of the portraits figuring in the
case were stolen pictures and the jury
last evening brought in a verdict of "not
guilty," When the verdict was announced

cheered the accused picture-dealers and

TIN Appointment Said to Ho Due ill

Cardinal Gibbons.
New York, Nov. 10. The Herald sajs:
A cablegram has bien received here by a
high authority to the effect that Pope
Leo has determined upon a successor to
M,rr. Batolll papal delegate to the Hulled
States, in the person of Mgr. Laurenzelli.
at present internuncio nt the Hague, and
he will proceed to this couutry at an early
day in order to b- here before Mr. Batolll
takes his depurlure.
There was considerable surprise excited
when the contents of the cablegram became
known, for of all the possible candidates
naiiied as a successor to Mcr. Satolli, Mgr.
Laurenzelli was not among thiin.
However, as Mgr. Laurenzelli Is known
as a broad minded man, one who will
follow in the footsteps of his predecessor.
It is felt that the selection Is a peculiarly
fitting one. It is the general understanding
that the appointment is in a measure due
to the advice of Cardinal Glbtions, who
Is In favor of a broad and generous policy
on the part ot the papal representative
in the United States.
Cardinal Giblions went to school with
Mgr. Batolll and was much associated
with him in Rome, and as the cardinal has
been a witness of the success of Mgr.
Satolli in this country he thinks for the
best Interests of the church that It be
AT Tun LEGATION.
Secretary Slmrcttt Says, They Aro
ignorant or the Appointment.
Mgr. Sntolll, the Apostolic delegate, had
an unusual number of cnllers at his resi
dence yesterday and last evening, who
came to see him regarding the announce
ment lu cstcrday morning's New York
Herald, that ho was soou to be relieved of .
his post here by Mgr. Laurco7eW. at present J
the Papal representative In Holland.
"Archbishop Satolli Is In total ignorance
of the matter outside of this publication,"
said Mgr Ebaretti, of the delegation.
"He has not rcc-eived any word from the
Vatican touching tin.- subject, and con
sequently can neither deny nor confirm
the report. The whole question rests
with the holy father, and In tase he should
see fit to make a change In his representa
tive to this country, it would be his right
to do so.
"When he shall recall Mgr. Satolli, the
latter will go without delay. We do
not, however, and will not, make Inquiries
of the holy see- touching such matters.
Then, jou will see, we are always in ig
norance of the action of the pope until
we are notified by him, and we have not
been In this case'."
Mgr. Ebaretti regards Mgr. Laurenzelli
as an eminent ecclesiastical diplomat, and
he has nothing but praise to say of him.
He was asked If he could tell when Mgr.
Satolli intended to visit Rome, and his
reply was-; "When Pope Leo XIII sends
for him."

Cost of Maintenance Becomes
a Serious Question.
It Points. Out the Need ot Iccrensrd
Appropriation, to Pnycnc (lie
New Navy HI-, Recommendations
1 neitide Hut Tv o New Sailing Ships.
Dock- und Yards.
The firt ship ot the new Navy was put
in commission over nine years ago, and ac
cording to the annual report of Chief Con
strue tor Hichborue, the demands for or
dinary repairs on the earlier vessels for the
preservation and for the maintenance of
their equipage in a proper state of ef
ficiency are j early becoming more serious,
and Congress must hereafter make much
larger appropriations for this purpose.
Commodore IIIihbonie,!n his annual report,
dei lares that modern steel ships, with their
extreme sulKIvlioir and elaborate systems
of vtntilatlon. drainage and mechanical
auxillarlesof all kinds, require inue-li greater
care, both w hen in commission and in or
dinary, than was the case with the old
wooden ships.
Neglect is followed by much more serious
and far-reaehlng deterioration, and it is
absolutely essential at nil times that the
most careful supervision should be ex
ere'ised at all times and remedies promptly
applied In order that the efficiency of the
vessels as men of-war may be properly
For several years past the construction
bureau has been compelled to economize
nearly to the danger point, being limited
by a repair appropriation ot le-ss than 3
per cent of the original cost of vessels,
while In the British navy the figure varies
from 4 to ft rr cent, the lower figure
appljlng to heavier armored vessels.
Constructor Hicbborn insists that a
million and a half dollars are needed for
this year, where only $000,000 was secured
from Congress for the current year. A
significant feature of Commodore Hich
borne's report Is that he officially recom
mended the construction of only two new
vessels to be authorized by Congress at
the next session instead of the great in
creases to our force of heavy battleships
which was unofficially "uggeste-d bic his
paper read before the Naval Architects
in New York three days ago as being
promptly needed by the navy.
The vessels he recommends are two
small composite sailing vessels ot 1,100
displacement, to cost only S2C0.000 each.
These it authorized by Congress will be
the first two vessels without steam power
that have been placed in the naval service
for many years- No nrgume-nt regarding
this recommendation is submitted by Con
structor Hichborn.
Commodore Hichborn devotes consider
able space to pointing out the necessity
for greatly Increasing the number of dry
docks at the nnvy yards, the efficiency
of our cruisers being seriously affected
by the difficulties encountered in cleaning
their submerged portions. He recommends
new docks at Portsmouth, New Hampshire,
Boston. Mass.; Mare Island, Cal.; and Nor
folk, Va.
Until the indefinite time In the future
when the big dry docks at New York,
Puget Sound, and Port Royal, are avail
able for deep-draught vessels, the new
battleships must remain undocked. Chief
Engineer Melville and Constructor Hich
born concur in theestluintethat$o,8u5,GT9
must be provided for disbursing next year
on account of the vessels authorized by
the last Congress for which, however,
no appropriations were made.
For repairs on the Chicago, S300.000 is
required, and for the Hartford, $170,000.
Constructor Hichborn renews with em
phasis the request he has frequently made
to Congress for an experimental tank at
the Navy Yard here, to cost about S100,
000, which it Ts proposed to use to test
models of ships before the vessels them
selves are built.

HOW BRITISH ClMlHS GROW
Ex-Senator Edmunds)alks;About
Her Territorial Expansion.
Explains tlm Monroei Doctrine and
Hopes the Administration Will
Protect SonthernncpuhllCs.
Philadelphia, Nov. II) An Informal
talk, ns lie calle-d it, wal given last night
by ex-United States Senator George F."
Edmuuds to the members of the L'nion
League Club and their friends on "Inter
national Relations In Central and South
America." The prominent position occu
pied by the speaker for so many years In
the senate, coupled with the present dif
ficulty over the boundary between Vene
zuela und British Uulaua. added more than
the usual Interest to such a discussion.
On a map which was hung alongside the
speaker's platform, senator Edmunds
pointed out the jmssessions vf Great Britain,
which encircled the globe. This great ex
pansion, lie said, was not a conquest of
blood, but of trade, business and English
He then gave a history ot the origin ot
the Monroe doctrine. "That doctrine de
clared," he R3id, "that we.would not look
with unconcern (which in my Vermont
dialect means we would nl tolerate) the
interference of any foreign power with
respect to the autonomy or existence of
the American republics. That was the
Monroe doctrine, and It has stood as a
standing menace to all foreign countries
from that time to this."
Senator Edmunds called attention to the
way British claims in Honduras had grown
from almost nothing to seven thousand
square miles. In British Guiana, In 1851,
their claims Included only a few towns,
with no boundary at all given on the
border toward Venezuela. In 1870, this
small claim hail grown to seventy-six thous
and square miles, and in'1892. to one hun-dre-d
and nine thousand squaromlles.
"That is British expansion," he added,
"but I hope arul believe that the Presi
dent and his Seeretay. of Btate w(ll not let
Venezuela be squeezed out ot the mouth
of the Orinoco. I hope tho President
will see that all our Southern neighbors
are protected In theirjust rights."
Senator Edmunds further urged .the
great advantages of the Nicaragua canal
under American control. After referring
to the many majters to lie considered when
discussing annexation, of Cuba.. for In
stance, he paid a "compliment to Presi
dent Cleveland, saying thai no President
had ever been found lacking in patriotism
fa looking after our relations with foreign
countries and "Republican though he was.
he could heartily say that 6r both of Mr.
Cleveland's adrntnistratlonsas would io

They could not obtain admission, how
ever, to the "siH-akeasles" which abound.
In some of the saloons men were stationed
who. were thoroughly familiar with the
regular customers ot the establishments,
nnd these men were admitted without ques

with heavy soles, were Invariably turned
away, and told that nothing was being
sold on the premises.

Update on 6/11/13 – Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber signed House Bill 2845 on June 4, which enables licensed self-storage operators to sell customers tenant insurance. The new law went into effect immediately.
Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber recently signed an amended version of the state's self-storage lien law (House Bill 2706) that enables self-storage facility operators to notify tenants about impending lien procedures via e-mail. The legislature has also passed a bill (House Bill 2845) that would enable operators to sell customers tenant insurance, but it is awaiting the governor's signature. The national Self Storage Association has been working with lawmakers to update the laws.
Under the new lien law, tenant notifications may be sent by registered mail, Certified Mail or e-mail. Electronic notification is presumed delivered as long as the facility has evidence the e-mail was opened or can demonstrate the e-mail address used was provided by the tenant in the rental agreement for the purpose of receiving e-mails.
The law also enables operators to have stored vehicles towed after default exceeds 60 days. In addition, operators can also now assess monthly late fees on defaulted accounts as long as the fees do not exceed $20 or 20 percent of the monthly rent, whichever is greater.
The tenant-insurance bill would allow operators to sell tenant insurance to customers as long as they are licensed. The licensed operator would also have to meet training requirements for any employees who might sell the insurance on the licensee's behalf.
Oregon joins Connecticut, Georgia and Maryland as the most recent states to update their lien laws. Legislative activity has been busy through the first five months of 2013, with at least 14 states making progress toward updating self-storage regulations.

Unrelated: Allegedly is a good word. I'm just sayin'. Remember, all these people are guilty until proven innocent, erm… Innocent until proven guilty. Though some work harder at proving their alleged innocence/guilt than others.
Note: Sources at the bottom. That's just how I generally put blog posts together and if you don't like that, let me know!
Warning: Angry Sarcasm Ahead.
It should be obvious not to leave young children at home without supervision. It should be even more obvious not to do so when said young children have access to something that they can use to make fire. But as we all know from reading this "Bad Breeders" blog, the obvious (not to mention common sense) concepts are not understood or are ignored by some people. In fact, they wouldn't get those concepts if they were beaten in the face with them–or a brick, even. I like the brick idea.
Ruthie Lee Bell, 27, of Wichita, Kansas sits in jail now on a $75,000 bond for three counts of aggravated endangerment of a child. Now, I know that you're wondering what the hell happened, but from not only my introduction, but the title of this post, you probably have a pretty solid idea of what came to be–but I'll give you the details anyway. Nosy bastards. But that's okay because I'm a nosy bastard too, else I would not have put this post together. So let me give you the timeline:
Thursday, July 11, 2013. Time: No Idea O'Clock
Ruthie leaves her home, leaving her three girls–ages 4, 6, and 7–hoe alone to do I-Couldn't-Care-Less. Obviously it was so important that she couldn't take the kids, and that it was worth risking their lives to go do whatever-the-frack she had to do. Probably grocery shopping. That sounds like something worth risking a child's life over, right? Right?
Thursday, July 11, 2013: Time: Around 7pm
Ja'kara Tiora Lashon Dickson–the 6-year-old–was playing with a lighter that she managed to obtain. It is reported that she was in the bathroom, lighting some trash on fire. At some point, her clothing caught fire and she ran into a bedroom, removing her clothes and putting them on the bed. The bed caught fire and it quickly spread around the house. The smoke alarms went off. Luckily, neighbors heard the smoke alarms and came outside to see smoke coming from the house. 911 was called. Children could be heard screaming. When one tried to go through front door, it was locked so she went to the back and heard children screaming that they could not get out. Another neighbor said he heard terrible screams, and that one child was screaming about her sisters.
Firefighters showed up and got the children out of the house. Just as they were being loaded into ambulances, Ruthie arrived, driving through the front yards of neighbors and over a hose being used by the firefighters and got out of her vehicle screaming for her children. Why she was not arrested at that time is not known. She was arrested for unrelated charges along with child abandonment between July 11 and July 21, but was released on bond.
Two children, the 4-year-old and 7-year-old were released from the hospital the night that they came in, one having minor injuries and the other not harmed at all. Ja'kara remained in the hospital in critical condition having suffered from severe burns. The two children that were released were released to protective police custody.
Sunday, July 14, 2013
Ja'kara died from her injuries and burns.
Wednesday, July 17, 2013
A third child, a one-year-old boy, is removed from Ruthie's (the family's) care in connection with the house fire. So that leaves three children in protective custody, and one child dead. This is just… Beyond sad. I hope the children stay safe.
Monday, July 22, 2013
Ruthie Bell, who had been arrested prior and was released on bond, was again arrested–this time charged with three counts of child endangerment and has a bond of $75,000.
Edit/Update: Thanks to "LoveMybabies" for sending a picture of a source for Ruthie Lee Bell's photo to be added!
A child is dead because of Ruthie Lee Bell's actions. And while I truly think that this was not intended–was an accident, the fact is that Ruthie left these children at home with no one old enough to supervise them. I am (obviously) angry. She didn't ask a neighbor to watch her children while she went to do whatever-the-hell-she-did. She didn't get anyone to do that. And as if that wasn't bad enough (and might not necessarily be so bad if this next fact didn't exist), she did not remove any and all lighters from the access of these children. What else, I wonder, did these children have access to? So much was on Ruthie's shoulders regarding prevention of this tragedy, and she neglected to prevent it. Surely she knew there was a lighter in the house? Regardless, the point still stands that one shouldn't leave young children home alone without adult or responsible supervision (I add that last bit because a 16-year-old, as an example, isn't an adult, but could still be responsible supervision of the young children).
And this isn't the only case in which she got in trouble regarding the welfare of her children. In 2010 she was pulled over for driving with a suspended license and also ticketed for a child not wearing a seat belt.
I am thankful for the neighbors though, who heard the smoke alarm going off and saw the smoke and called 911. One of the first ones to notice mentioned that it was lucky that she was able to hear it, as she was downstairs in her home with the T.V. on and it was a very faint sound from where she was. But she is thankful, as I am, that she was able to hear it. This situation could have ended with even more tragedy. All of the children could have died.
Rest in peace, Ja'kara.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Crew joined the Philadelphia Union atop the Eastern Conference on 31 points after a 1-0 victory over the Portland Timbers on Saturday night at Crew Stadium.
The Crew were denied once by a controversial goal-line clearance and a second time by the goalpost, but midfielder Eddie Gaven came through with a late goal which was all the Crew needed on the night.
The winning sequence began with a cross from the left flank by Robbie Rogers into the box to Chad Marshall. He headed the ball to forward Tommy Heinemann for a shot that hit the left post past diving Timbers goalkeeper Troy Perkins.
Gaven and teammate Emilio Rentería were there for the rebound and Gaven was able to get a foot on the ball, which bounced toward the goal line before deflecting off the chest of Portland defender Mamadou Danso at the goal line and into the net.
The goal ended a 259-minute scoreless streak for Columbus and moved the Crew (8-6-7, 31 points) into a first-place tie in the East although the Union have played two fewer matches.
In the 60th minute, the Crew were denied a goal when referee Andrew Chapin ruled a header by Marshall was cleared off the line by rookie Darlington Nagbe even though replays hinted the ball may have crossed the line.
A lackluster first half saw the visiting Timbers come closest to opening the score. Portland (6-10-3, 21 points) had 10 of the 13 shots and both shots on goal came on long attempts that were easily handled by Columbus 'keeper Andy Gruenebaum, who was filling in for starter William Hesmer, a late scratch after a test of his strained left quadriceps ruled him out of the match.
In replacing Hesmer, who allowed one goal in the past three games and started every MLS regular-season match the past two seasons, Gruenebaum made his first MLS regular-season start since a 1-0 loss at New York on Aug. 30, 2009.
The Crew were also without leading scorer Andrés Mendoza, who suffered a hamstring injury in Wednesday's loss at the LA Galaxy. He was replaced by forward Jeff Cunningham, who is still tied for the all-time MLS goal-soring lead.
Portland's best effort was a dribbling slalom run and final shot by Nagbe in the 37th minute that went left of the post. Earlier, midfielder Jack Jewsbury failed to connect from 22 yards when his rising strike sailed over the crossbar.
The Timbers, who were playing in a 4-5-1 formation, gave Lovel Palmer his debut in a Portland jersey after the Jamaican arrived in a trade from the Houston Dynamo earlier in the week. He slotted in at right back and played the full 90 minutes.
Portland return home for an exhibition against Argentina's Independiente on July 26 and then host Toronto FC four days later.
The Crew also have a friendly on July 26 at home vs. English Premier League side Newcastle United of before traveling to Real Salt Lake next weekend.

Welcome to Old Hay Bay Church
Old Hay Bay Church is the oldest surviving Methodist building in Canada. It was erected in 1792 by settlers, including United Empire Loyalists, who had recently arrived and established the community of Adolphustown (in modern-day Greater Napanee). Here, one can imagine, travelling saddlebag preachers thundered forth in their sermons. Here local residents gathered for worship and fellowship at Canada's first Methodist camp meeting in 1805.
The building was enlarged in 1835, used as a farmer's barn when the congregation built a new church in Adolphustown, c. 1860, and reacquired for church use in the early 20th century by the Methodists, (continuing, after union in 1925, as The United Church of Canada). The church, land, and its nearby cemetery were designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 2001. Likewise, the church has also been officially recognized as an Ontario Historic Site.
An annual worship service is held in the church on the fourth Sunday afternoon every August.
2017 marked the 225th Anniversary of Methodism with a special celebration.

Hi How can I change the social icons and top menu color? I want it to be different than my menu color. I have tried a bunch of CSS but nothing worked. It stays the same color as my header font color selection in theme options.
Hey weathertight!
Looks like your enfold.css is not working correctly, do the following: rename that file via FTP (enfold_old.css) and try to generate it again from the 'Enfold > Styling' page.
Ok, I have done that. What is the next step?

Apothecary Charms
- Artist: Dave Halverson
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 10/21/2008
|your cart is empty
Apothecary Charms contains a number of guitar-based electronic rock songs, and also some songs that are not that, including a jazzy electric piano excursion, an improvised solo guitar piece, etc. My favorite recordings to listen to are often ones that have a lot of range and still make sense stylistically as a whole. I like to create recordings in a similar fashion. One of my goals on this project was to have a somewhat tighter sonic focus than on previous recordings. But, as always, I also wanted to explore new sounds and instrumentation, and move in new directions. Some of these songs originated with a single sound or phrase, or some improvisation, and were developed from there. Sometimes the sounds were created experimentally. I wanted to have the guitar play a prominent part most times, and I tended to lean back towards that as I was fleshing out the arrangements.

Microsoft Surface Tablet to Be Released as Wi-Fi Only Device?
The upcoming Microsoft Surface tablet will be released as a Wi-Fi only device initially, according to a new report.
However, this does not mean that a 3G or 4G LTE model is not on the way. But still, Microsoft's plans are unclear at the moment.
Bloomberg published a report that cited two "people familiar with the matter," who stated that the Surface will go on sale without a connection to a mobile phone network.
If this is true, it will be difficult for Microsoft's tablet to compete with the iPad that is currently available on AT&T and Verizon.
Microsoft's plans to take the tablet market by storm could have also been thwarted by a faulty presentation made by the company's president of Windows and Windows Live Division Steven Sinofsky.
In his attempts to display some of the new Windows 8 Surface tablet's finer features like its own Netflix app, Sinofsky touched the device's screen and it did not respond.
The frozen tablet stayed that way until he snuck off to grab another model behind the podium.
Microsoft created a lot of hype for this Surface tablet, but this freezing incident certainly will turn many tech enthusiasts off from purchasing it.
No one likes when their smartphone, iPod, computer or tablet freezes. And as for the statement "any press is good press," that gets thrown out the window in a situation such as this one.
Apple might not have to worry about much competition this time around. A Wi-Fi only tablet just does not seem like it would attract enough customers to the Windows 8 device and freezing is not something you want to happen to your product when you putting it up against the king of the tablet market.
Microsoft plans to launch its Windows 8-powered Surface tablet in the near future as answer to Apple's extremely successful iPad.

LAS VEGAS — If he had chosen, Vinny Del Negro could have holed up in his home outside Phoenix, worked on his near-scratch golf game, hung out with his college-sweetheart-turned-wife and collected $2 million from the Bulls.
"That's just not my personality," Del Negro said. "I enjoy the challenge of coaching and trying to make young players better."
And so just more than two months after the Bulls fired him, here Del Negro is, sitting courtside next to Clippers owner Donald Sterling, ready for his next act.
Del Negro insists he didn't point to his two-season Bulls stint during his interview process to land the Clippers' job, saying that was for Clippers management to review. But in his first interview with Chicago media since reading a short statement outside the Berto Center on May 4 after he was fired, Del Negro certainly sounds as if he had his resume ready.
"I really believe in my concepts and philosophies," Del Negro said. "I'm very proud of my staff and myself with what we had to deal with and what we accomplished. The Bulls' organization is in a much better position now than it was before I got there.
"We had an eight-game improvement the first year. We don't do anything for Ben Gordon and he leaves. We had to change things and we improved tremendously defensively. The numbers speak for themselves.
" Derrick Rose is Rookie of the Year. He's an All-Star, the first one since Michael (Jordan). Taj Gibson is the 26th pick in the draft and he's first-team All-Rookie. Joakim Noah is a completely different player than he was when I got there. He almost made the All-Star team and is one of the best big guys in the game when it comes to rebounding and intensity and energy.
"We were first in rebounding, second in blocked shots, third in defensive field-goal percentage. We had injuries. We traded John Salmons. We traded Tyrus Thomas. We assimilated new guys at the trade deadline both seasons and made the playoffs twice. We pushed Boston to an incredible series and then played hard against Cleveland and gained people's respect around the league. So, yeah, I feel very proud of that."
Though players have praised him publicly, sources said some Bulls have grumbled privately that Del Negro has taken too much credit for his 82-82 tenure. Del Negro said several former players congratulated him on landing the Clippers' job.
At the news conference announcing Del Negro's firing, senior vice president John Paxson publicly apologized for his role in a brief physical altercation in Del Negro's office on March 30.
Paxson confronted Del Negro, who then walked toward Paxson, because the coach once again exceeded a medically-imposed minutes limit that Del Negro had agreed to with team physicians regarding Noah, who was battling plantar fasciitis.
Del Negro has called the various issues over Noah's minutes limits "a miscommunication" and said he accepted Paxson's apology for grabbing his tie and pushing him. Team officials declined to revisit the situation with further comments.
"Our relationship will never be the same obviously after you go through that," Del Negro said. "It was unfortunate and a difficult situation for everyone. I look ahead and try to get better. John admitted his mistake. And you move on.
"John is a competitive and emotional guy. We all want to win. But as an executive you have to handle things a certain way, much differently than as a player."
Del Negro spent part of this week's Bulls-Clippers game talking to Tom Thibodeau, who coached Del Negro as an assistant with the Spurs.
"I have a lot of respect for him," Del Negro said. "If I can help Tom, I told him I'd be more than happy to do whatever I can. I want him and the Bulls to do well. The fans deserve that there. It'll be a little strange when we play because of the relationships there. But now my focus is on the Clippers."
Del Negro said he's excited with his core of Baron Davis, Chris Kaman, Eric Gordon and former No. 1 overall pick Blake Griffin, as well as the free-agent additions of "character guys" like Randy Foye, Brian Cook and Ryan Gomes
"I'm very fortunate," Del Negro said. "We have a lot of work to do. But I think there's a big upside with the young talent we have and the direction we're going. In the past, there hasn't been a lot of success. So there's a lot at stake. But I'm always confident."

Craig Hartsburg hopes this combination is as good as gold.
Getting ready to step behind the Senators' bench for the first time next season after being hired last month, the club's coach reached into his past and completed his staff yesterday by hiring Regina Pats coach Curtis Hunt as an assistant.
Hunt, 41, who worked with Hartsburg during back-to-back gold-medal victories at the world junior championships with Team Canada, resigned his post with the WHL's Pats after four seasons behind the bench and after leading the club to an East Division title.
"I conducted a good search and I talked to a lot of people and the key for me is that you want knowledge, you want loyalty and you want character and Curtis has all three of those," said Hartsburg in a conference call with reporters.
"I've seen what he can do. I never knew Curtis before the world junior tournament two years ago, but I think once he does some work with our players they are going to be really excited to have him on board."
As reported by Sun Media yesterday, Hartsburg held talks with Calgary Flames assistant Wayne Fleming. But the two sides were unable to come to an agreement on a contract during discussions earlier this week and that's when Hartsburg decided to turn to Hunt.
Hunt doesn't have any coaching experience in the NHL, but the transition will be made easier because being an assistant means he won't be under the microscope. Hunt received a three-year contract, which is the same length as Hartsburg's deal.
"I'm absolutely thrilled with the opportunity," said Hunt. "One of the most important things to me is the chance to work with Craig at this level.I think it provides some new challenges, obviously for myself, and there's lots of work here before we get started. I'm certainly very excited.
"I've talked to Craig a lot over the last little while. I've had a chance to talk to (GM) Bryan (Murray) in terms of the direction they've set with a leadership group and it's quite an honour. I'm really excited to get to work."
With Hunt in place, Hartsburg now has his coaching staff set for next season.
Hunt will work mainly with the club's defence and penalty killing -- a job he has done with Team Canada at the last two junior tournaments. Assistant Greg Carvel will be in charge of the forwards and the powerplay. Goalie coach Eli Wilson also be back next season.
"Hopefully, the players will (buy into) the war cry on our team which is, 'All in and do whatever it takes.' I know the coaching staff will certainly do that and if the players can follow our lead, I'm sure that we're going to be able to have a lot of success," said Hartsburg.
A ninth-round pick of the Vancouver Canucks in 1985, Hunt had a long minor-league career -- mostly in the former International Hockey League. Many believe he is ready to make the next step to the NHL and Hartsburg didn't have any problem giving him the chance.
"He's extremely hard-working and he works with a lot of enthusiasm, which is important. He's got a great vision of the game and obviously, for me, spending Christmas with him, living with him and working with him, we've got a great deal in common," said Hartsburg.

Paid through the nose for an Ultimate Custom cue from Parris Cues with the expectation that I would be getting one of the best cues in the world. Not only was the cue over two months past maximum dates outlined in the FAQ's, the service was so poor that, even if I had have received the best cue in the world it would have spoiled the experience. Parris is a has been who has no business touting his wares any more... he doesn't make the cues and it shows, his arrogance and pig ignorance only makes the experience worse.

Yeah the same happened to me. my cue came 3 months late. I will be more than happy to agree that customer service is poor.

well... you paid and no-one forced you. And with all your knowledge about him being a 'has been' and not making the cues... well? Did you really spend all that money knowing that? No. You did not. Anyone who knows about cues as you claim to do would have bought something else by at least 4/5 other makers. There is plenty of choice. Someone once told me a fool and his money are soon parted,...
