Authentic Elvis hair for sale in Oswestry | Christian Davies Antiques

An antiques collector, who previously lived in America, has decided to place some of his memorabilia up for sale ? including a lock of hair from Elvis Presley. The bizarre item was discovered while John Perrins and his family were living in the US.

While living in America, John paid a visit to Memphis, which is where he purchased the piece of hair believed to be from Elvis Presley. A certificate of authentication accompanies the hair. The barber of Elvis, Homer Gill Gilleland, spent more than 20 years cutting and dying the hair of Elvis. He reportedly cut strands of Elvis?s hair and saved it in a towel, eventually selling the hair when Elvis died in 1977.

In 2005, the family home of John Perrin was severely damaged during a hurricane while living in South Florida. The family, together with their dogs, survived the ordeal by taking shelter in a ?walk-in? wardrobe that was located behind a stone chimney. John said:

?It happened so quickly in the middle of the night. But I remembered that when you see photos of hurricane-hit homes it is always the stone chimneys that are still standing.?

As John?s health had deteriorated and the house was damaged so badly, the family had no other option than to return to Oswestry. Although the lock of hair is an unusual discovery, people typically search for other items like antique furniture, which can be authenticated by a knowledgeable antiques dealer. For instance, you will discover a number of dealers who are happy to display genuine antique chests in Preston .

'The Lone Ranger': The Best Part Of The Film - Business Insider

Disney

Despite all the negative reviews of "The Lone Ranger" prior to release, I headed out to the theater to see why it was so awful.

The film received pretty positive reviews from audiences, scoring a B+ CinemaScore, and I heard from a few that it wasn't as bad as the media was making it out to be. Maybe it was another one of those films the critics got wrong (see: "Man of Steel" / "The Great Gatsby").

Sure, the film had a lot going against it.

"The Lone Ranger" was delayed for quite some time.?Originally, the Johnny Depp / Armie Hammer flick (you know, the guy who played the Winklevii in "The Social Network") was set for a December 2012 release. The movie was nearly scrapped at one point and the budget was rumored to inflate as high as $250 million.

However, Johnny Depp has always been Disney's saving grace when it comes to big blockbusters. There were ?four successful "Pirates of the Caribbean" flicks and 2010's "Alice in Wonderland" grossed more than $1 billion at theaters warranting a sequel.

Sorry Depp. The third franchise attempt is not the charm.?

The first two hours of "The Lone Ranger" were a convoluted mess. The film follows John Reid (Hammer) on his adventure to becoming the Western icon along with sidekick Tonto (Depp) while seeking revenge on a dastardly outlaw Butch Cavendish (William Fichtner) for offing his brother.

Unfortunately, the road to get there is winding with too many tangents.?

The audience suffers from an overstuffed plot filled with a bandwagon of bad men headed by Cavendish, Hammer playing an overly silly Reid, prostitutes, railroad paving, and an odd, fumbled romance.

Tonto and the Ranger's white steed serve as comic relief ? which sometimes works (when Depp's conversing with the animal), but other times comes off corny (the horse randomly appears on the branch of a tree wearing a hat.)

Disney

Fichtner is unrecognizable as a cold, ruthless villain who eats the heart of John Reid's brother.

There's a lot thrown in here for little kids, but with a whorehouse, a lot of over-the-top violence that feels out of place in a Disney film ? the silhouette of man's throat being slit, random piranha-like jack rabbits, and a man hanging from a rope ? it's clear the film is trying too hard to appeal to every demographic.

It also didn't help that the movie felt more like "The Lone Tonto" rather than ranger. The entire plot was focused around Depp and his native American character.?Hammer felt more like Depp's sidekick throughout the film.

To make matters worse, we'd randomly return to an aged Tonto recounting his misadventures with Reid to a young boy dressed in Lone Ranger get up.

In a film where Cavendish appears the ultimate foe, it turns out the trains and railroad shown countless times are the real villain.?

After coming to the exhaustive conclusion Americans are using the building of a railroad to San Francisco to obtain silver ?? a secret long kept hidden by Native Americans ? the film departs into an epic runaway train sequence.

Just like that, it felt like we were?watching a completely different movie.

The William Tell Overture sounded (a bit clich?, but it works here), and the audience finally sees The Lone Ranger and Tonto we paid to see.?

There were no more violent deaths including throat slicing or blasts to the chest.?

Disney

?

Instead, it was all slapstick fun paying homage to the black and white television series of the '50s.?Two runaway trains running parallel to each other with Tonto and Cavendish in one and the Ranger riding up alongside them in the other one.?

One of the most fun sequences was of Fichtner and Hammer shooting at each other aimlessly from inside two opposite train cars.

A scene of a bank robbery shown for unknown reasons in the first few minutes of the film finally gets resolved in the film's final minutes, and its a wonder why it was ever introduced at the start.

When the plot finally came together, the film made sense, but it was a wonder why it took a laborious two and a half hours to get there.?

There was a good story to be told about American greed and the consequences?that come with making a naive, impulsive decision in youth.

Unfortunately, "The Lone Ranger" was so dragged down by unnecessary, weird moments (the killer rabbits, horse humor, and narration from an aged Tonto that the film could have done without) that the point?fell short of hitting home.

After an explosive ending (that more or less resembled the opening train scene from "Toy Story 3,") I wanted to like the Western.

The jarring disconnect of the end of the film nearly made me forget everything else that had transpired. However, you shouldn't have to endure what feels like a marathon just to receive a bit of satisfaction.

And that's a shame.

If Disney stuck to the formula delivered in its final half hour?where Reid and Tonto were teaming up to get the bad guys, it may not have been such a bust.

National Review and The Weekly Standard's Message For the House GOP: Kill the Bill

National Review and The Weekly Standard's Message For the House GOP: Kill the Bill

I expect Drew will have more to say on this, but National Review and The Weekly Standard have a joint editorial out today entitled Kill the Bill that's worth a read.

First, they make a point that I've been repeating for a while about the Comprehensive Piece Of Shit: we've been down this road before and we know where it leads.

The bills first fatal deficiency is that it doesnt solve the illegal-immigration problem. The enforcement provisions are riddled with exceptions, loopholes, and waivers. Every indication is that they are for show and will be disregarded, just as prior notional requirements to build a fence or an entry/exit visa system have been and just as President Obama has recently announced hes ignoring aspects of Obamacare that are inconvenient to enforce on schedule. Why wont he waive a requirement for the use of E-Verify just as hes unilaterally delayed the employer mandate? The fact that the legalization of illegal immigrants comes first makes it all the more likely that enforcement provisions will be ignored the same way they were after passage of the 1986 amnesty.

Exactly. A Wimpy bill (I'll gladly enforce immigration policy on Tuesday for amnesty today) should've been a non-starter for the Senate GOP but Rubio. The House GOP largely seems to get this, but it really comes down to Boehner standing firm on the Hastert Rule because there are probably enough of them that don't to pass something by joining forces with the Dems. Another point Kristol & Lowry make that needs to be pounded home to the House is that there's simply no reason to rush this bill to passage. Supporters of Schumer-Rubio make the nonsensical argument that we need to pass their de jure amnesty bill because we already have de facto amnesty. Well if we already have amnesty, what's the rush? The status quo may be bad, but, as we're quickly learning with Obamacare, "change" can always be for the worse, and passing monstrous bills in haste virtually guarantees a bad outcome.

Russian lawmaker says Snowden accepts Venezuela asylum offer

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A senior Russian lawmaker said on Tuesday that former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden, who is wanted in the United States on espionage charges, has accepted Venezuela's offer of asylum.

"Snowden has given his agreement to (Venezuelan President Nicolas) Maduro's offer of political asylum," Alexei Pushkov, the pro-Kremlin chairman of the international affairs committee in Russia's lower parliament house, said on Twitter.

Dems draw firm line on path to citizenship

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Setting up a potential clash with the Republicans who control the House, congressional Democrats insisted Tuesday they will not agree to any immigration bill that lacks a path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants living illegally in the United States.

Lawmakers staked out the position after a private meeting Tuesday morning between the House Democratic caucus and the four Senate Democrats who helped write a comprehensive immigration bill that passed the Senate last month.

"Without a path to citizenship there is not going to be a bill, there can't be a bill," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters after the meeting.

The stance is likely to meet quick resistance from House Republicans who are expected to meet Wednesday on how to move forward with the immigration issue. Many conservatives who control the House oppose giving citizenship to people who crossed the border illegally or overstayed their visas.

Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., who chairs the House Judiciary Committee's immigration subcommittee, said in an interview that Democrats risk ending up with no bill at all if they insist on citizenship for all those here illegally.

"When the bar has been set, as it has been by some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, that it's full-fledged citizenship for all 11 million or nothing, because that's so overtly political they may end up with nothing," said Gowdy.

Gowdy favors a citizenship path for people brought to the country as youths, military veterans, and certain others who've lived here for years and contributed to society.

Other House Republicans are open to allowing guest worker or some other legal status to people now here illegally, but would stop short of citizenship.

But Schumer insisted Democrats will accept nothing less.

House GOP leaders are deliberating how to deal with the immigration bill after the Senate passed its White House-backed legislation on a bipartisan vote of 68 to 32. The Senate bill spends $46 billion to secure the border, requires employers to check their workers' legal status, expands visa programs to allow hundreds of thousands of high- and low-skilled workers into the country, and establishes a 13-year path to citizenship for those here illegally, provided they pay fines and meet certain conditions.

In addition to their concerns about the citizenship path, many House Republicans prefer to proceed in a step-by-step fashion rather than with a single, sweeping bill like the Senate. The House Judiciary Committee has approved four separate bills dealing with various aspects of the immigration issue, including enforcing U.S. laws and creating an agriculture guest worker program, but none of the bills addresses how to deal with the millions already here illegally.

House Republicans are also insisting on stronger border security provisions than in the Senate bill.

"We all believe we're going to go forward on immigration reform. The first big step is you have to have a serious border security, because without serious border security what you're going to end up with is the same thing you saw after the 1986 act," said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, referring to an immigration bill signed by President Ronald Reagan that gave citizenship to some 3 million but failed to end illegal immigration despite promises at the time that it would do so.

"And so we believe that a commonsense, step-by-step approach is the right way, we talked about it for months," Boehner said.
