Hundreds remember Carson at memorial service
Phil Scott/Eyewitness News
Indianapolis - Political leaders from Indiana and around the nation spoke in memory of Congresswoman Julia Carson Friday evening at the Indiana Statehouse.
"I truly believe that this Indiana woman broke through barriers for us," said LaKimba DeFadier-Woods of the National Black Caucus of State Legislators. "She was our Rosa Parks."
And it was Parks for whom Carson sponsored in a 1996 bill to award the civil rights icon the Congressional Medal of Honor.
"She walks like Rosa and talks Rosa," said Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee of Texas. "We better not go against what she wants us to do."
Carson, who died last Saturday at the age of 69 following a battle with cancer, was remembered as a faithful friend and gifted leader.
"We always said of her, we were glad she was our friend, and not on the other side," said former Gary mayor Richard Hatcher.
A religious woman, Carson never used her faith for political gain.
"She didn't prostitute the church or pimp Jesus to get where she was, and then forgot how she got there," said Reverend Theron Williams of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church.
More than five hundred friends, fans and family of the late congresswoman turned the statehouse memorial from tearful to cheerful.

"Put your hands together," said Reverend Jesse Jackson. "For her teaching, for her leading, for her bridge-building! Let me hear you scream!"
In the end, they all shared the sentiments of Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson.
"Goodbye, Julia. I love you," he said.

Wednesday nights a 'zoo' for Cal police
California Borough police were busy early Thursday with disturbances that occurred within 40 minutes of each other inside a Third Street bar.
Police Chief Rick Encapera said the back-to-back calls are the latest in a series of Wednesday night and early Thursday morning incidents at downtown bars just blocks from the California University of Pennsylvania campus.
Encapera said a "large fight" broke out 1:39 a.m. inside J. Coles Inn at 334 Third St.
Police were still in the process of identifying the alleged suspects Thursday afternoon, he said.
Police said at least five people were brawling inside the bar when Cal U police arrived and broke up the fight.
Encapera said that in the meantime, his officers were dealing with a Virginia woman they arrested at J. Coles around 1 a.m., just before the fight broke out.
Encapera said Courtinee Qnique Whitaker, 21, of Stafford, was charged with resisting arrest, terroristic threats, disorderly conduct, harassment and public drunkenness.
"She had lost her cell phone, and I guess she was blaming everyone in the bar," Encapera said. "She knocked stuff off the bouncer's table and went up and unplugged the DJ equipment. ... My officers were tied up with her and took her to be arraigned when the fight broke out."
Encapera confirmed some patrons had to be "subdued" but referred additional details to campus police.
He said it's uncertain whether Whitaker's alleged actions and subsequent arrest spurred the brawl.
Whitaker was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Curtis Thompson in Bentleyville, who sent her to the Washington County Correctional Facility in lieu of $20,000 cash bond.
Court records show Whitaker was released Thursday afternoon after she posted 10 percent of the bond.
Encapera said downtown bars are routinely packed with patrons on Wednesday nights.
"Wednesday is what they refer to as bucket night. I guess they sell buckets of beer to generate business," he said of some bars. "It attracts not only students, but people from out of town. ... Every week, I've got a zoo here."

You are herecontent / Hinchey asks for war probe
Hinchey asks for war probe
Leaked memo hints at deceit
By Anthony Farmer
Poughkeepsie Journal
KINGSTON -- The Bush administration needs to answer lingering questions that it secretly decided to invade Iraq before seeking congressional authority and later distorted the justifications for going to war, U.S. Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-Hurley, said Monday.
Hinchey, D-Hurley, is one of 90 congressmen who have signed a letter written by U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., calling on President Bush to answer questions raised by the so-called "Downing Street Memo." The memo, leaked to the British press, purportedly offers proof the United States and Great Britain secretly agreed to invade Iraq in the summer of 2002, well before seeking a U.N. resolution to remove Saddam Hussein from power.
If it turns out Bush knowingly misled Congress and the American public, it could lead to his impeachment, Hinchey said.
The memo is just the latest evidence the Bush administration was determined to invade Iraq and fashioned the facts and intelligence to support its plan to go to war, Hinchey said.
"That is becoming increasingly clear to anyone who's paying any attention to this whatsoever," Hinchey said Monday during a meeting with reporters at his Kingston office.
Blair meeting detailed
The British memo was first reported by the Sunday Times of London May 1.
It summarizes a July 2002 meeting between British Prime Minister Tony Blair and some top advisers. In it, Blair's intelligence chief, Richard Dearlove, reports on a recent visit to Washington.
"Military action was not seen as inevitable," Dearlove reported, according to a copy of the memo on the paper's Web site. "Bush wanted to remove Saddam (Hussein), through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."
Blair denied that was the case during a joint press conference with Bush at the White House last week.
At the same press conference, Bush said, "And somebody said, well, you know, we had made up our mind to go to use military force to deal with Saddam. There's nothing farther from the truth."
Bush also said that using military force was the "last option."
White House spokesman Ken Lisaius said Monday the administration acted deliberately and carefully before deciding to invade.
"You have to look at the history," Lisaius said. "After these things occurred, there is whole period of time when the United States and Great Britain go through the U.N. Security Council and where Resolution 1441 passes unanimously."
The resolution, approved by a 15-0 vote on Nov. 8, 2002, required Saddam to disarm any chemical, biological or nuclear warheads and open his country to international weapons inspectors or face "serious consequences."
Two Republican House members representing the mid-Hudson Valley had a different view from Hinchey's.
"What we need to focus on now is moving forward, taking care of our soldiers, providing them with the resources they need to do their job so they can come home," said Melissa Carlson, spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. John Sweeney, R-Clifton Park.
U.S. Rep. Sue Kelly, R-Katonah, said in a statement there has been, and will continue to be, debate over the circumstances leading up to the war in Iraq.
"Our top focus at this time should not be to play politics with a serious issue, but rather to protect our troops abroad and provide them the support and resources they need to get their job done," Kelly said.
The memo is not the first instance where questions were raised about Bush's reasoning for invading Iraq.
Bush's former treasury secretary, Paul O'Neill, and Richard Clarke, a former National Security Council official, have also asserted the administration was set on toppling Saddam and tried to connect him to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Conyers and other Democrats plan an unofficial hearing for Thursday on the matter.
Hinchey said the American public should be allowed to know why the U.S. went to war with Iraq.
"I will continue to press even more vigorously for these inquiries," Hinchey said.

Applying for a job loan? It doesn't thing if you are just start out, or give been in operation businesses for old age.
It's a shuddery cognitive operation. You keister consider a mickle of the catch and concern come out of the process of applying for a loan by just sympathy what it is that lenders bet for, and how to do your trump to cast your business' Charles Herbert Best base ahead.
Are You Really a Business organisation?
To begin, it is of import to facial expression wish a business organisation. That sounds deceivingly soft. You Crataegus laevigata think you reckon corresponding a stage business just because you hold a product or service, and are oblation it up to the world. Perchance you have a internet site in property and mayhap you get even out obtained a business organisation credit come from Greyish brown & Bradstreet, simply don't terminate in that respect.
That isn't even out the basic requirements for a patronage in the eyes of nearly lenders.
Achieving the Basics when Construction a Line of work Presence
Don't bury your "street cred." Eve a purely online byplay bequeath do good from having a strong-arm comportment. An destination makes your occupation seem more than official, not but to lenders just much to consumers as intimately.
It isn't sufficiency to just hold an name and address though. You pauperization to stool certain that it is enrolled in the US Postal Inspection and repair Database. Looking for up the forcible computer address in the prescribed resourcefulness is in a turn desktop chink of nigh lenders. There is an 80% rejection rate for unlisted businesses.
Should you have just about any concerns concerning where as well as the way to make use of wimpern verlängern, you are able to e-mail us on the site. A ring number, rather a landline yet though a magnanimous part of totally clientele in conducted by mobile phone phone, is also a concrete break up of a business' wimpern serum strong-arm part. Your business' call count should come out in the Interior 411 Directory Assistance, an gentle curb for any lender.
Lenders may as well hitch the FCC, as well known as the Union Communication theory Commission, to go through if your business' speech sound shows up, along with the company's forcible address, jail cell phone, fax, etc.
Your stage business mustiness abide by with Fed Assess Torah. No legitimatise loaner is going away to contribute a business enterprise possessor the meter of mean solar day if they do not induce the necessity paperwork that shows they are, themselves, legitimatize. This is a childlike outgrowth and in that location is no alibi for not having through with the work on to prepare your fellowship compliant.
Making your byplay a accepted company just substance obtaining an EIN. The EIN, also known as an Employer Designation Numerate give the axe be applied for by ring armor or online. It exactly takes transactions and if you employ for it online the count is mechanically generated.
The DUNS issue from Rag & Anne Bradstreet is different from the EIN. The EIN makes you assess compliant, the DUNS count makes you reference compliant. It is the come wholly business concern acknowledgment reportage is through under. If you haven't already applied for a DUNS number, that is something that inevitably to be through with wellspring in get on to applying for whatsoever financing.
It derriere have several weeks to obtain the bit erst the covering is submitted via the internet site.
Is Your Patronage An Entity?
Anyone privy be a legitimatize patronage. When listing a companion you butt be a lonesome proprietor, notwithstanding lenders are to a lesser extent in all probability to looking favorably upon companies that are not accumulation entities that are enrolled with the Escritoire of State of matter in the phase of an LLC or Bay window.
The abstract thought bum this is simple-minded. Companies enrolled with the Secretary of Commonwealth are guinea pig to reports of unsavory bodily process and defective clientele practices. Obtaining an LLC or decent a pot requires roughly metre and paperwork, but it as well holds a deal of advantages in revenue enhancement savings, and accumulation obligations as well, so it is a safe estimate to catch started on that and accept it fix ahead applying for any funding.
Whole of the items to a higher place are the introductory things wholly business organization should take ahead yet reasoning around applying for a lend. However, it tranquillise doesn't intend you aspect the like a literal concern to a lender. Lenders bang precisely what experient patronage owners do when they manoeuvre a business, and matchless severe footprint is to do due application.
For business organisation owners, owed industry agency they bequeath suffer a whole idea away line of work program. This project does not upright subsist in their capitulum as a trust to deal a preset add up of ware in "x" add up of months or long time. A material concern plan is a Holy Scripture of surgical procedure that spells stunned on the button what the owner expects the business concern to do terminated a point of time, how it wish gravel thither and wherefore that program is executable.
To a lender, a patronage architectural plan is the remainder between looking at like a stage business and looking for wish a Falco subbuteo.
Do You Consume a Full Design?
Amongst former things, the considerably wimpern verlängern constructed clientele contrive bequeath position KO'd exactly World Health Organization the fundamental citizenry in the party are, even out if it is equitable peerless person, and what see and skills they fetch to the board that testament reach the strategy defined act upon. It bequeath likewise present versatile statistics that propose the product or avail is a good concept, if on that point own been past sales it leave generate an overview of profits or losses and projections into a foreseeable next.
If it isn't in a line of work plan, the lender testament deficiency to have a go at it how practically you have got invested with in the business concern. This calculate should be what you personally have invested, non other loans interpreted. The rationality this is an significant flesh is no investor wants to be the solitary unrivaled with "skin in the game." They lack to fuck you trust so often in the companion that you birth risked your ain money as comfortably.
Of course, they wish besides need to know what early lenders English hawthorn get a post in the keep company as well.
Other lenders or forms of financing tail be a duplicate cutting brand when it comes to loanword credence. Having former lenders already in position rear end picture that at that place is active agent interest group and feeling in your marriage offer. That is a right affair. However, it tail end also register that thither isn't a great deal fairness or potential drop profits left over all over to yield extra loans.
That would be a forged thing, and these are authoritative considerations to stay fresh in bear in mind when thinking some applying for foster financing.
Is Your Concern Citation Worthy?
Getting a concern loan is wholly most fashioning lenders think your keep company is dependable and open of repaying the precept and the occupy Byzantine. Even out when you fuck cryptical in your warmheartedness that you are a dependable and trustworthy person, in that respect is simply no way a lender fire make out.
Regular if they deprivation to conceive you are, or throw roughly academic degree of personal knowledge of you as a human being, they cannot allow that to swarm their judgement.
Thither moldiness be empirical test copy that in that location is a groundwork for trust when loaning money to a business surgery. That empiric substantiation comes in the mannequin of a self-colored cite chronicle. When no business concern accredit chronicle exists your grammatical category deferred payment should be admonitory to record that you get a dependable account of debt defrayment.

This is the Windbreaker Raincoat by Puppia. It is a hooded raincoat, coated for waterproof effect. It features double side pockets (not actual pockets), Hoodie with adjustable string and stopper and is decorated with a Puppia rubber label. It also comes ready with a leash hole. Available in Hot Pink, Orange and Royal Blue in sizes ranging from Small to XX-Large. Please note that because these products were created with small/medium dog breeds in mind, larger sizes (i.e. Large, Extra-Large, etc.) do not necessarily mean larger breeds. Please refer to image of the size chart. It is very important to measure your dog with a tape measure according to the size chart. As a general rule of thumb, if your dog falls in between sizes, it is usually better to go up a size. Weight figures are for estimates only. Always use actual measurements. Please note that when measuring your dog for clothing, it's very important to have an accurate measurement of your dog's neck and chest girth. IMPORTANT: Please note that when measuring your dog, the measurement for the neck must be taken at the BASE OF THE NECK and chest girth must be taken behind the front legs. Also it is important to take into account the size of the dog's head as well as neck girth and chest girth. Since some dogs have a much larger head than their neck, please be sure that the neck opening is large enough to slide over your dog's head.

Editor's Selection of PoemsOn My First Daughter
Here lies, to each her parents' ruth,
Mary, the daughter of their youth;
Yet all heaven's gifts being heaven's due,
It makes the father less to rue.
At six months' end, she parted hence
With safety of her innocence;
Whose soul heaven's queen, whose name she bears,
In comfort of her mother's tears,
Hath placed amongst her virgin-train:
Where, while that severed doth remain,
This grave partakes the fleshly birth;
Which cover lightly, gentle earth!

If Giants running back Andre Brown wants to reach his goals of scoring 22 touchdowns with 1,300 yards this season, he is going to need to play all 16 games. And on Tuesday, it became official that he will play it -- or at least start it -- under his one-year, $2.02 million contract tender. Brown is entering his fifth season and is coming off his first season of consistent playing time with any team. He got 73 carries and scored eight touchdowns. He also averaged 5.3 yards per carry.
Fantasy Analysis:
And then there was one. The Giants now have one restricted free agent remaining who has yet to sign: wide receiver Victor Cruz. And it doesn't sound like he is going to for quite a while.
Brown's ridiculous standards for himself notwithstanding, he is going to be a popular mid-to-late-round running back in many drafts and should be one of the first handcuffs selected. He is the Giants' goal-line back and has a very good shot at scoring double-digit touchdowns.

She appears just once.
Hidemi doesn't frequent Seirin Academy, but her appearence is linked to introduce another side of the personality of Teshigawara Suguru.
She's presented as to be another rich kid which tries to take advantages of everything she can get. Teshigawara was her private tutor and slave (he even obeys her when she asks him to lick her foot).
She even tries to get Onizuka as another slave too, but obviously that won't work.
She was kidnapped by Yazuka who tried raped before Onizuka saved her
Her last name can be spelled in different ways, such as: Ohta, Oda or Ota.

Back and Forth with Photographer Carol Dass
By Noel Black On April 10, 2013 · 9 Comments · In A Big Something, Arts & Culture, Local Genius!, Photography
DISCLAIMER: The following images contain nudity and may not be safe for work or suitable for some people.
Photographer and UCCS Instructor Carol Dass's exhibit Mother at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center is yet another great example of the ways that our local arts organizations are digging into the rich soil of the local arts community to find world class exhibition material right in our backyard. We've long been fans of Dass's work and recently chatted with her on Facebook about the exhibition, her collecting proclivities and her photographic obsessions.
The Big Something: Your new show at the Fine Arts Center is beautiful, but it's a departure for you in some ways. It's all color and it's digital. Why'd you choose to leave the darkroom?
Carol Dass: I haven't "left" the darkroom! What a horrid thought. Yes, it is color work shot with various formats: Digital, Hasselblad, and Rolleiflex. The last two being film cameras. Thank you for the lovely compliment by the way! After seeing a few of the images in color, for instance the "Peaches" image, I could not imagine it in B+W!
TBS: Ah, I see! I thought it was all digital. Apologies.
CD: No problem, it's hard to discern these days! I'm not set up to process color so I send it out for processing.
TBS: Your work often addresses the body, and you've done some incredibly (sometimes painfully!) intimate shots of your father's struggle with diabetes and his death, and of your own body (the image of your uterus after your hysterectomy comes to mind). But your photographic relationship with your mother has an almost campy quality to it. I imagine her in a British sitcom. She's in many ways your lightest subject.
CD: Funny you should bring up British sitcoms as she loves those! I see my mother (off camera) as a really strong, amazing, and intelligent woman. She has been so wonderful in putting up with my camera over the last few years. Sometimes I push things a little too far. If the tables were turned I would feel the same irritation! There are definitely a few undertones in some of the work but those are for me alone to understand. A few people that know her might view those in the work.
TBS: Beyond the fact of your biographical mother, a lot of your work stares head on into things I think we're all afraid of as a culture, including age and women's bodies. Where do you think you came by this fearlessness?
CD: Noel, I have been wondering that same thing since I started the journey into self-portraiture! I have had a love/hate, mostly hate relationship with my body image my entire life. Maybe we need to bring a therapist into the conversation…? I guess one of the reasons was fairly straightforward in that when I needed a model I was there for myself. The other being I thought other women/men might relate to the image on some level? I have really put myself out there and have gotten a lot of positive and negative response for doing so. Now that I'm in the midst of menopause/aging (well aging is taking place every second!) I feel new work on the horizon.
TBS: I think it's much easier to relate to images of your body and many of your models' bodies as human because they don't look like the magazines. Do you ever think of your body and those of your models AS critique of the ubiquitous model body we're bombarded with every day? In other words, has the camera been a positive mirror for you also?
CD: Totally! That was actually a goal, long before, say, the "Dove" ad campaigns. I feel so strongly that our culture via advertising inflicts so much self-hatred and self-doubt in young women/men. I was always striving to be democratic in my representations. No, the camera has not always been a positive mirror. I look back at a lot of work from a few years ago and wish I had approached it differently, whether that be through my gaze or technically. But, that is the evolution/exploration that takes place in one's work, right?
TBS: I always admire artists who take risks, so yeah. I think it's worth it! Let's talk more shop. You've been a huge fan of toy cameras for many years and have taught toy camera classes. How do you feel about the Instagram digital era that's upon us as it performs this kind of toy camera simulacra in a way that feels, maybe, all too easy?
CD: I now have a smarty pants phone with Instagram! For myself, it will never totally replace the magic of in camera image making. Think about the air waves… all those billions of images floating around up there and landing on Facebook or wherever they go. Then there is that moment when your are holding that funky piece of colored plastic with a roll of film in your hands making that decision, that exciting, beautiful moment. Then the anticipation (and sometimes disappointment) that takes place in processing. Then there is the editing, the printing. Hell, people can buy a Holga lens to put on their iPhone or their $2,000.00 dollar digital SLR. How ironic is that? But, on the other hand…the fact that folks are having fun making/taking pictures is what it all boils down to right? Being passionate and inspired?
TBS: As a photographer, you have an amazing collection of photography that ranges from Imogen Cunningham to Andrea Modica to collections of postcard photos of tatooed women and other "freaks". How do your collecting impulses (and you collect rocks, too!) play into, or relate to your photography?
CD: Andrea [Modica] used to come over on Sundays with something interesting in a bag from the slaughter house where she had been shooting and her 8×10 or 11×14 camera and I would hop up on the dining room table and pose with some strange animal part. She was generous in giving me a print in exchange. I started collecting images in college and couldn't afford big names of course so I was happy with a postcard from a show or museum. Then I started collecting old photo postcards, these beautiful little gems. Real silver prints printed to be shared via the mail. Circus images (I have a lot of women with big snakes), animals, grandma with the dog or a birthday cake. I would get on obsessive jags. When my father had his legs amputated I started looking for images of amputees. I have a few beautiful ones from the turn of the last century. I guess I have such a strong passion for all things photographic. I encourage my students to trade work with each other and start their original art collection. Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason…I don't feel like my collecting impulses really play into my own work with the exception of possibly taking away from it? I spend a lot of time looking at images in books (I love photography books, yet another obsession), on the internet, in galleries and museums. Time I could be thinking about and making my own work!
TBS: When I think about your work I think about it the context of the great regional photography legacy of John Suhay and Myron Wood and Robert Adams and Andrea Modica when she was here. How do you think about our region as a locus for photography? And do you hope to push outward and beyond?
CD: I could never put myself in that category. All four of those photographers have something in common, an unbridled passion and what I would consider to be an unnameable driving force that comes from somewhere deep within to make work, to photograph. I'm not saying I don't feel that way about my own work, but these folks (and I don't know Robert Adams personally, and met Suhay once or twice) live and breathe it. I think about them a lot and wish I had more of their drive and energy. On the other hand I think sometimes other things suffer or fall to the wayside if it becomes too all-consuming. I think the Pikes Peak region is just where these photographers ended up in their careers…aren't we lucky! I had been in San Francisco and seen Andrea's work at the SFOMA, it moved me to tears. I came home and there was her name in the Independent saying she lived in Manitou Springs. I think folks with like interests find each other. Outward and beyond? I'm going with the flow, which might be a trickle or a crashing wave!
TBS: So what do you think the new direction of your work will be?
CD: Stay tuned…I have ideas!… and how do I want to realize them?
TBS: Oh come on! Give us a hint.
CD: I'm excited about making images using wet plate collodion. I'm teaching Alternative Process this semester, so I have to say when I start talking about process to the students I start getting ideas. Look for Cyan-o-Panties hanging on a clothesline soon. I have many things/ideas circulating up there in the gray matter…. There are not enough minutes in the day!

It's always crazy to realize that people are "watching," like when we discovered this morning that our photos are being circulated by total strangers….which is how we found out that WeddingWire picked up Katie and Nick's wedding photos on their blog! I am loving the shout-out Katie gives to Empora Flora and Sweet and Saucy Shop in the feature. Read more!

AfroUniversal: Impressions de Salvador
— For all the photos from this event, please visit our Flickr page.
The African Development Center is delighted to announce that, for the first time in its existence, the AfroUniversal Fine Art Gallery will feature the work of an artist born outside of Africa. While the gallery has periodically included works with roots outside the continent, this upcoming showing will solely feature the unique and remarkable paintings of the rising star that is Salvador de Montesinos.
What makes these pieces so exciting is the new style of Impressionist Painting developed by Salvador himself, called Vectorism. An intricate technique utilizing multiple layers, this process reveals an astonishing final product filled with vibrancy, movement, and depth. For more information about this style, and the artist who developed it, visit the website of Salvador de Montesinos.
Join us next Thursday, December 13th, to experience the full effect of these phenomenal pieces. This is an open house from 5:30 – 8:00pm, but sign up on the event page to reserve your attendance at a wonderful evening of art, food & music – featuring remarks from the artist himself.
Registration and attendance is completely free and open to the public, but be sure to sign up soon to ensure a spot at what is sure to be a packed house.
Feel free to contact us with any questions at 1-612-333-4772 or 1-877-232-4775. See you next Thursday!!
Since childhood, Salvador de Montesinos has been intrigued by light, shadows and color. As an adult, he has dedicated his life to uncovering a new mix of impressionism, expressionism and abstract styles of art.
Living on the Caribbean Sea since the 1990's provided Salvador with the perfect balance of open space, nature, movement, light and color. These years of highly focused painting led this dedicated and talented artist to create this new style he has coined "Vectorism."

Trash cans have gone couture. Vipp, the Danish design company whose classic pedal-operated catchall sits in New York's Museum of Modern Art, has just unveiled a new line called Trashion Bins. Fashion designer Lessja Verlingieri, who has created clothes for Lady Gaga and Britney Spears, produced eight looks for the stainless-steel cans, using 1,500 yards of fabric to dress each in "made-to-measure couture." They're "perfect for fashionistas" who can't see what MoMA saw in the original Vipp. From $4,634, vipp.com
The Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday it is enacting new enhanced security and screening measures for every commercial flight traveling to the United States.
Since March, passengers flying to the U.S. from some Muslim-majority countries have been barred from bringing electronic devices bigger than a cellphone into the cabin, and if the new security protocols are adopted by the affected airlines and airports, the ban will be lifted, The Washington Post reports. Due to safety concerns, the Department of Homeland Security did not give any details on the new measures.
"It is time we raise the global baseline of aviation security," Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said. "We cannot play international whack-a-mole with each new threat." Catherine Garcia
Republicans are trying to cast their health-care proposal in a positive light, saying that cuts to Medicaid actually do the opposite, slowing growth in order to preserve it, and everyone from White House counselor Kellyanne Conway to President Trump himself are getting involved.
On Monday, the Congressional Budget Office said the GOP Senate bill would reduce Medicaid spending by $772 billion over 10 years, and by 2026, enrollment would drop by 16 percent among people under the age of 65. Over the weekend, Conway said Republicans "don't see" these as cuts, and Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) said it would "codify and make permanent the Medicaid expansion" put in place by the Affordable Care Act. On Wednesday, former House Speaker and Trump ally Newt Gingrich said on Fox & Friends that "after all the news media talking about cutting Medicaid in the House Republican bill, I did some research. It actually goes up 20 percent over the next 10 years."
That's a touch misleading, PolitiFact says. The CBO report found that the House bill that passed in May would cut Medicaid spending by $834 billion over 10 years. His office didn't respond to PolitiFact's calls, but they concluded it is likely Gingrich was referring to the rate at which Medicaid will grow over the next decade, which will happen if the law passes or not. Medicaid spending will increase because health care costs are going up, and the CBO report found that under the House bill it limits the increase to 20 percent; if nothing changes, it will require a 60 percent increase.
One of Trump's major campaign promises was that "there will be no cuts" to Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security, which is likely why he tweeted this graph Wednesday evening:
Democrats purposely misstated Medicaid under new Senate bill - actually goes up. pic.twitter.com/necCt4K6UH
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 28, 2017
None of these talking points are swaying David Kamin, a law professor at New York University and former economic adviser to President Barack Obama, who told The New York Times, "The question of whether it's an increase or a cut is really about how people experience health care and whether people will be covered. From my perspective, it would best be described as a cut." Catherine Garcia
The Los Angeles Clippers parted ways with their star point guard Chris Paul on Wednesday, agreeing to trade the 32-year-old to the Houston Rockets. Paul joined the Clippers in 2012 and led the beleaguered franchise to its six best seasons by win percentage, but the Clippers were never able to advance past the second round of the playoffs even with their star trio of Paul, forward Blake Griffin, and center DeAndre Jordan.
A nine-time All-Star who was named to the NBA's All-Defensive First Team for the sixth consecutive season this year, Paul will join MVP finalist James Harden in Houston's backcourt. Harden's transition to point guard last season was hailed as an awakening for the eighth-year man, but now he will presumably share with Paul the burden of running Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni's fast-paced, trigger-happy offense. Paul and Harden had apparently wanted to play together for some time, Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski reported.
In return for Paul, Houston is sending defensive guard Patrick Beverley, scorer Lou Williams, and second-year forward Sam Dekker — among others — to Los Angeles. Kimberly Alters
Scientists have uncovered evidence that humans aren't the only species that can play musical instruments. After seven years of observing 18 male palm cockatoos in Australia's Cape York Peninsula, researchers realized that male cockatoos put on drumming performances to attract females.
The scientists found that the birds "produced regular, predictable rhythms, rather than random thumps," The New York Times reported. Different males had unique styles of drumming, with some tapping "more slowly on average and others more quickly," said lead author Robert Heinsohn. "Some would start with a faster flourish before settling into their steady rhythm," Heinsohn said.
So, how does a cockatoo drum? The New York Times painted a picture:
A palm cockatoo drumming performance starts with instrument fashioning — an opportunity to show off beak strength and cleverness (the birds are incredibly intelligent). Often, as a female is watching, a male will ostentatiously break a hefty stick off a tree and trim it to about the length of a pencil.
Holding the stick, or occasionally a hard seedpod, with his left foot (parrots are typically left-footed), the male taps a beat on his tree perch. Occasionally he mixes in a whistle or other sounds from an impressive repertoire of around 20 syllables. [The New York Times]
The drumming seems to be unique to palm cockatoos in Australia's Cape York Peninsula though, suggesting "the habit is cultural," the Times wrote. "Presumably some bright spark of a male stumbled across this behavior, females found it pleasing, and it took off in the population," Heinsohn said.

The next season of Comedy Central's Broad City doesn't come out until August, but in the meantime you can catch the show's star Abbi Jacobson hosting a new podcast, A Piece of Work. Jacobson is teaming up with WYNC Studios and the Museum of Modern Art for the podcast, which will be all about contemporary art.
Jacobson, a graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art and the author of two coloring books and a book of illustrations, will interview artists, museum curators, and celebrities like Questlove and RuPaul on the show. Each episode will explore different works of art through themes like minimalism, pop art, performance, and abstraction.
The 10-episode podcast premieres July 10. It will air twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays. Becca Stanek
Republican Sen. Susan Collins says just 'tinkering' with the GOP health-care bill won't cut it for her
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is one of the moderate Republicans whose vote could make or break the Senate GOP's health-care bill. Judging by her comments Wednesday, though, she is still far, far away from becoming a "yes" vote.
"I have fundamental concerns with the bill and it would take a pretty major overhaul," Collins told reporters, adding that just "tinkering" with the current bill would not earn her approval. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his lieutenants are trying to find changes that will bring at least 50 of the 52 Senate Republicans in line, including channeling funds to Medicaid and opioid treatment to win over moderates on the fence like Collins or Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska).
As of the afternoon of June 28, The Washington Post reports 12 Republican senators stand opposed to the bill or have serious concerns about it. Jeva Lange
It took less than 24 hours for somebody to drive their car into a controversial Ten Commandments monument that had been installed Tuesday morning at the Arkansas State Capitol in Little Rock. "My boss called me and told me the Ten Commandments monument had been destroyed," Arkansas Secretary of State Chris Powell told NPR. "When I got here, it was rolled over on the sidewalk and broken into multiple pieces."
The suspect, one Michael T. Reed II, 32, allegedly drove his 2016 Dodge Dart into the slab around 4:47 a.m. CT on Wednesday morning, officials say. He apparently taped the incident from inside his car and posted the video to Facebook. "It shows what looks like the Arkansas State Capitol building," NPR writes. "A man's voice says: 'Oh my goodness. Freedom!' as the car careens into the monument."
The Ten Commandments monument was approved by the Arkansas Legislature in 2015 and opposed by groups such as the ACLU, which called it unconstitutional. It briefly stood 6 feet tall and weighed 6,000 pounds.
In 2014, an Arkansas man named Michael T. Reed drove his car into a similar Ten Commandments monument at the Oklahoma Capitol. That Reed told the Secret Service he had bipolar disorder and that Satan had instructed him to destroy the monument. The Associated Press said Wednesday it could not confirm if the two Michael T. Reeds are the same man, or if people named Michael T. Reed who hail from Arkansas just have a higher-than-normal aggression level toward Ten Commandments monuments.
The Reed who smashed the monument in Arkansas, at least, will face "preliminary charges of defacing an object of public respect, a Class C felony; criminal mischief in the first degree, a Class C felony; and trespassing on the state Capitol grounds, a misdemeanor," NPR writes. Jeva Lange

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
please exlpain, first i unplugged the oven ignitor and it popped the breaker. then i unplugged the connector next to the oven ignitor that has black and white wires coming out. then plugged in the oven , didnt pop. those wires appeared to go to the control board
the oven ignito
i unplugged the bake ignitor first off and it still popped the breaker .only when i unplugged the plug with black and white wires next to the oven ignitor,didn`t pop the breaker. those wires all looked like they went to the control board behind the burner controls
sorry to bother but do you have a part # XXXXX this board
way cool
if you could get them that would be great ,much thanks
the breaker pops as soon as electricity is applied to the machine . also the burners on the stove wont light when the plug with the black and white wires is unhooked . i assume thats because that board controls the oven ignitor as well as the top burners. is that circut board the ignition system for the whole shebang
i have the board coming but i just need a clarification. is the bullhead you referred to the front panel that holds the controls? also ,can you give me any diagrams for this critter?
i replaced the board on the right side and now it doesnt pop the breaker but no spark to the top burners and no oven light . help
allrighty. ireplaced the dsi board with a new one following the directions for the wiring .however i have a problem after i opened the cover i saw there was another board just like thew one i replaced above the small oven. i can light the burners with a match but get no igniter sparking .. i wasn`t refering to the light bulb, iwas saying that there is no spark comingfrom anywher on the machineoves or top burners..this thing is whipping my.the only thing different after i put in the new board was that it didnt pop the breaker when i plugged it in
i was very careful about the wiring on the new board, even the purple wire placement . i wonder if i changed the wrong board. . the 2 boards look the same , could i swap the one for the other since the new board i bought required wiring changes.if i can do that . im trying not to eat a board

Anyone know an alternate contact for her? I'd appreciate any help or info if Asok's busy, indisposed, or whatever. Maybe there's a good reason I get no response?

He's swamped from the upcoming Cons.
Did he acknowledge you were sending money for his GMH/Budget?
Even at the earliest- You're looking at 5 weeks to see it at your door step.
Also- I have a helmet, recently, from him...
He won't f*<K you, and it's worth the wait.
I lack an alternate form of contact...
Same here, sent payment 2/8/14...emailed her a couple weeks ago for update, no response. I also emailed yesterday on both the ticket thingy and here at TDH, no response yet. I'm not an impatient man, I just like to be kept in the loop. I've spoken with a couple of her customers and they said it usually takes about a month to get the helmet but I'm past that already. I've been burned before through internet transactions so I get a little antsi, but I've heard nothing but great things about asok. Hopefully all is well and we will hear from her soon. Let me know if you find anything out.
Thanks for the response guys. I am usaully pretty patient too. In the initial contact between us she said a 2 week turnaround so of course I got a little concerned. If I had an update to let me know, then that would satisfy me. I will keep you in the loop natas66.
She told me the same thing, 2 week turnaround time, unless I ordered too close to the upcoming Cons which I understand is a hectic time for them. I hope to hear from her sometime in the next week or so, an update would be very good indeed. I have a couple other hobbies that involve long wait time for parts but I go into that knowing approximates and if they change they update me. I'm sure asok is just busy and being a small buisness it's probably easy to get buried with too many projects. I would expect an update soon though so I don't have to worry anymore and at least now I know it's not just me.
Rest assured Asok won't burn you, she is simply a busy person as we all are the up coming cons have most likely taken there toll along with other real life projects. Since she doesn't have a factory or a staff it can be hard keeping up with everything, my only advice would be to remain patient, I hope that helps
Thanks J3T.

I'm patient but I've heard nothing from Asok and Paypal requires you to file a claim within 45 days of your purchase. I hope nothing serious has happened...in that event being a small buisness I would think they would have something in place to refund customers if they were unable to fullfill obligations. I'm going to wait until the last day of Paypal's 45 day limit and then start a claim. If they would just contact us and let us know all is well I'd be willing to wait longer. If anyone has heard anything it would help....

ComicsAlliance Reviews 'BloodRayne' (2005), Part Two
Chris Sims: Welcome back to ComicsAlliance's extra-spoooooky review of BloodRayne, everyone, where we're mostly terrified that this movie actually exists. When we last left off, our half-vampire heroine had been rescued from an exceptionally horny Meat Loaf in a scene that I cannot believe was really put on film.
Matt Wilson: This movie really has a sort of high-budget college-kids-making-a-movie-for-kicks feel to it, but that scene especially did. And I don't mean high budget for movies, I mean high budget for college kids.Chris: As Rayne and the Brimstone Bros are on their way to Brimstone HQ, we rejoin Sir Ben Kingsley for what is very clearly the third scene they shot in one day at this particular set. He is very upset with Fake Bane about Rayne getting away with the Eye, which you know because he says "I am very upset" and not because he is actually projecting any emotion other than a desire to get this over with as quickly as he can.
Matt: He tells Not-Bane to get out of his sight, then asks him if the dhampir has a name. You think that's how the script was written, or Kingsley just got the lines out of order and they didn't bother with a second take?
Chris: Now, far be it from me to nitpick the great Uwe Boll, but… wasn't Ben Kingsley looking for "the dhampir" because she's his daughter? Like, isn't that why they were trying to track her down in the first place? Shouldn't he know who she is by this point?
Matt: Look at him, Chris. Look at Ben Kingsley. This is a man who just doesn't care. That he's even curious about her name halfway into the movie is a wonder.
Chris: You know, I was seriously asking if I missed a plot point, but then I remembered that I probably care less about what's going on here than Ben Kingsley does. Let's just move on.
Matt: The BrimBros bring Rayne to Brimstone HQ (save us, Billy Zane!) and arrive to find Michelle Rodriguez, who says words to Michael Madsen that make no sense. I quite literally cannot make sense of a word she is saying.
Chris: It's okay though, because nobody in the movie seems to know what's going on, either. They basically just chuck Rayne into the dungeon, bondage her up a little, and then stand around going "wait, what are we doing again? Are we fighting Ben Kingsley or Billy Zane? How do you know Meat Loaf?"
Matt: A guy shows up at Kagan's castle with a box of something and Kagan responds with the minimum enthusiasm someone can have for receiving a box of something. In the Brimstone dungeon, we find out Kagan has "the rib" while Rayne begs to be released from a cell. But does Kagan have the Red Crystal? That is the true question.
Chris: If he doesn't, that tornado's never going to show up and take him past Deborah Cliff. Rayne tries to convince the Brimstone Posse that she's totally a good vampire and can help them fight Ben Kingsley, but they don't believe her until she has a lengthy flashback of Ben Kingsley killing her mother, which is at least the third time in 45 minutes that we have seen this footage.
Matt: Kagan asks MomRayne "Where is the girl?" and when she doesn't respond immediately, he immediately bites her and then stabs her through the stomach. That is not the best interrogation tactic.
Chris: It's the one most people tend to employ in this movie, though. Remember when Fake Bane asked Udo Kier where the Eye was and then immediately stabbed him in the heart? Either way, it's enough to convince Michael Madsen to wander over and take the chains off, although she continues to sleep in the prison cell for the duration of her stay in Brimstonetowne.
Matt: Madsen taking the chains off Rayne because of an easily fabricated story about a dead mother doesn't sit well with Michelle Rodriguez for some reason, so while he sits outside sharpening his toy sword, she gives him what-for, asking if he's just going to open the doors and let anyone in. He takes this berating by falling asleep onscreen. Excepting the bloody battle scenes, this movie is very much like one of those porn movie cuts where they take out the sex and just leave in the plot stuff. Maybe a little worse.
Chris: Case in point: Right after he takes the chains off, Madsen instructs the other dude whose name I don't remember to "…give her what she needs" and he slowly puts his sword back in its sheathe. This could only be more porny if there was a Kink.com watermark in the corner.
Matt: Even though Rodriguez doesn't like it, Rayne gets the sleepiest training montage in history. This despite the fact that we've already seen her be fairly proficient with arm-swords already.
Chris: It's almost a reverse-training montage, because the big fight at the monastery is the best action scene in the whole picture. I mean, that's a pretty low hurdle to clear, but they never manage it, so I can only assume they're training Kristianna Loken to actively forget everything she learned doing Terminator 3.
Matt: As she trains to get worse, one of Rayne's swords breaks, in that a piece of one just falls right off like it was made of papier-mache, which, maybe it is. She's vaguely upset, and Michael Madsen says something vague about how he can maybe help. Not like, mysterious vague. More like, "Maybe this is how I should say these words, I have no idea because I don't really have a character" vague.
Chris: I enjoy how the movie flashes back to Amanda using the swords back at the beginning – again, the third time we've seen that footage – just in case you forgot where she got them. Does Uwe Boll know the guy from Memento? Is that who he thinks his target audience is?
Matt: Maybe he just knows the effects of his movies. I know as we've been watching this one, I've forgotten a lot of things about my own life. Birthdays, bank account numbers, whether any events have happened prior to us watching BloodRayne, etc.
Chris: Let me know if you remember what sin we could have committed in a single lifetime that would require us to watch this movie as punishment.
Matt: Here's something scary: What really gets Rayne going is a dream about killing a bunch of people, ostensibly brought on by her dad's mind-powers(?). And when they do have sex, it is in what has to be the most uncomfortable place in that highly uncomfortable room: Right up against the cell bars.
Chris: Some Dude (that's the name I'm going with from now on, I'm not looking it up and you can't make me) is so into it that he ends up ripping Rayne's circus clothes right off, which is handy because he's just given her a new outfit made by the good people of Brimstoneville. Now… Look. Kristianna Loken is a beautiful, beautiful young lady. I don't think either one of us is going to come close to to disputing that. She's gorgeous. But these new clothes do her absolutely no favors.
Matt: They also look shockingly like her old clothes. I mean, the tailor at BrimstoneTown must specialize in knockoffs.
Chris: They're exactly like her original clothes, except made of leather, and the pants are weirdly shapeless and high-waisted. They're like… 90s jeans. I cannot for the life of me figure out what prompted the change, because the original outfit seems to look a lot like what I've seen of the video game.
Matt: It took WhatsHisName even bringing up new clothes for me to realize those were supposed to the new ones. Anyway, Rayne arrives at dinner where the Brimstoners have been talking about how low on food they are. A kid asks to see her teeth, which sounds a lot like "teats" coming out of his mouth, and Rayne obliges. But they're just regular teeth, no fangs. Missed special effects shot or what?
Chris: Ha ha, it's fun with the kids! So of course, this is the moment that Michelle Rodriguez decides Rayne has to die. That escalated quickly.
Matt: She sends a letter by boat to Billy Zane, I guess because she's mad about the lack of food. But if anyone is to blame for that, it's Michael Madsen, right? How's he skirting the Death Letter on this?
Chris: I think Madsen is just a victim of Billy Zane's undeniable charisma. Really, after watching this movie for the past hour, who would you side with?
Matt: A servant brings Kagan a bunch of dogtags(?) from the Rome branch of the Brimstone Society and he sends out his thralls to battle via, I guess, telepathy, because his mouth doesn't move at all during his rallying speech. So then his army marches out, in exactly the same way they did about 20 minutes before. It looks like the same shots and everything.
Chris: Basically, what we have here is around 55 minutes of movie that needed to be an hour and a half to get into theaters. After that, we get yet another sequence of training, only this time, it's Michelle Rodriguez explaining how her parents died to Rayne. Shockingly, this does not lead to the two of them making out, despite everything in the movie up to now pointing to this as the only logical conclusion to the scene.
Matt: As they duel, Rodriguez says, "Your form is weak. It is lacking passion." I wonder if she's talking about BloodRayne the character or BloodRayne the movie until Rayne says, "It's part of my plan. I am tiring you out." Now I know this is about the movie.
Chris: They get all catty at each other for a minute – it may surprise you that Uwe Boll's films do not have the most flattering treatment of women – and then we cut back to Billy Zane. For those of you wondering if our affection for Zane is ironic or genuine, consider that this is his reaction to someone literally throwing a severed head at him.
Chris: I f**kin' love that guy.
Matt: He tells Not-Bane, "Please stop throwing things at me," and I laugh my first genuine laugh at something I think this movie intends to be funny.
Chris: I desperately want to believe that Zane ad-libbed that, but I'm willing to give even Uwe Boll credit when it's due.
Matt: Zane tries his damnedest to convince Not-Bane to join up with him for "a more colorful reign," but Not-Bane is just Not-fun.
Chris: Zane plays this scene so great, too. He's super-slimy; his mannerisms in trying to lure this guy into a coup are the same as if he was playing a creep trying to pick up a girl at a bar. He even bats his eyelashes at him, which is fan-goshdarn-tastic.
Matt: Meanwhile, in Brimston, Michelle Rodriguez is begging Michael Madsen to do…something? The point is she doesn't like Rayne very much, in case you didn't notice that before. But Madsen stands his ground, and he, Rayne and Whosits sail to town to meet a butcher while Rodriguez stays to defend the colony.
Chris: This whole subplot about how they need supplies seems to be solved by just… going to the store. Seriously. And that kind of puts M-Rod's beef into perspective; I'd be pissed off too if people were starving because Michael Madsen didn't want to take an hour to hit the Piggly Wiggly and get some Hot Pockets.
Matt: While they're at the store, the butcher guy, who literally just leaves so the Brimstoners can just steal anything they want, gives Rayne some new arm-swords, which look Exceptionally dull. Like, wouldn't even cut a candle dull.
Chris: They're blunt pieces of metal, but since that's a phrase that could describe so many things in this movie, I'm going to go ahead and let it slide. I will say, though, that this scene is a pretty accurate translation of "gearing up before you go to fight the final boss" part of any video game, so that's a point in Boll's favor. I just wish I could figure out why he elected to only translate the most boring parts of games to his film.
Matt: On their way back, the group encounters a guy — a character we have not seen before — who has come from HQ to warn them that Not-Bane and his army have hacked up the place. Michael Madsen responds by saying, "If they want a fight, a fight they will get" like a man arguing with his wife about forgetting to pick up those Hot Pockets after all.
Chris: All of the action that took place while Rayne & the BrimBros were shopping is then related in flashback, and… what is with all these Goddamn flashbacks?! Why are there so many?! There are SO MANY, you guys!
Matt: There's 28 minutes left of this thing, too. That means, probably, 14 more flashbacks, I'd estimate. In this one we find out Michelle Rodriguez betrayed everyone by stabbing yet another character we've never seen before. The thing is, I'm having more of an emotional reaction to these no-names dying than I would if any top-billed character was slaughtered right now.
Chris: With the exception of BloodZane, you mean.
Matt: Zane is The Exception in every regard. Worried that hanging around with WhatsHisFace and Michael Madsen could lead to their deaths, Rayne slinks away to find another piece of Drac–that other vampire, the heart. ThatGuy stops her and asks, "How will you find the heart," and sadly, she does not respond with an 18th Century version of the Ghostface "Heart Street" skit.
Chris: Instead, she tells him that she can hear it, which… well, that's new. Michelle Rodriguez, on the other hand, has known where it is this entire time apparently, and has decided to go looking for it while wearing what is very clearly a sports bra and a tank top from the Gap.
Matt: What's weird is what she hears are whispers not, you know, a heartbeat.
Chris: What's weird is that we're still watching this. Rayne and Rodriguez – this fall on CBS! – both go after the heart and do some underwater wrestling, which is significantly less interesting than it sounds.
Matt: Also, we should note, the heart was at BrimtsoneBurg the whole time, in a leftover cave set from Star Trek: The Original Series. Look out for the Horta down there, everyone!
Chris: After a brief but slippery struggle, Rayne snaps Michelle Rodriguez's neck and drinks her blood. And that's the end of that weird little "oh, she's a traitor" arc that took about five minutes from beginning to end and was mostly told in flashback. Uwe Boll, everybody!
Matt: It was almost as epic as the "low supplies" arc!
Chris: So, now that the movie remembers Rayne is supposed to be going after these artifacts, something that it seemed to completely forget for about 20 minutes, she's got the heart and the eye. All that's left is the rib, which Sir Ben already has, so it's off to his place for what I hope with every fiber of my being is the final battle.
Matt: Michael Madsen and Nobody are hanging around outside the castle, which is pretty convenient, since it doesn't seem like anyone has coordinated any of this. And nobody is opening the little chest with the heart in it, even though everyone knows for a fact that Rayne can absorb these things.
Chris: Exactly! Nobody opens the chest to check! She literally hands them a wooden box and says "oh, that's the heart" and they take her directly to Ben Kingsley! There's a part later on where he's like "give me the heart!" and she says "You'll have to carve it from my chest!" and I have no idea whether this is a metaphor or what. He keeps demanding that she hand it over or tell him where it is or whatever, so I guess it is? Who the f**k even knows anymore, man.
Matt: Ben Kingsley doesn't even open the thing AFTER HE OPENS THE ONE WITH THE RIB IN IT. This makes as much sense as Rayne lying to Madsen and NoOne about Michelle Rodriguez, saying "she died with honor, defending her people." Uh…they already heard that guy say she was a traitor. It's not like they didn't know already.
Chris: Also, Rayne's plan is to just walk in with a wooden box and hope they'll take her to meet Ben Kingsley, while the Brimstone Boys plan to just blow up the door and then immediately get captured so they can stage a daring prison escape. This whole thing is beyond nonsense.
Matt: She's banking on this ceremony to remove the eye happening, even though she explicitly asks, "What ceremony?" after she's been put in a dungeon.
Chris: The ceremony thing kind of explains why they don't kill Rayne, but there is no possible reason for Fake Bane to not just immediately decapitate Madsen and that other guy. Why does this dude even have a dungeon? He eats people! That's his whole deal!
Matt: So Rayne gets taken to Ben Kingsley, who seems to be in a boredom contest with the audience. He tells Rayne she can live in his castle if the ceremony doesn't kill her, which seems to be the only indication that her being his daughter matters at all.
Chris: I didn't miss something, did I? This whole ceremony thing was just introduced here in the last 20 minutes of the movie, right?
Matt: Nothing was said about it until Rayne was in the dungeon. Uwe Boll doesn't like his plots overlapping, OK? It's got to be supplies plot, then betrayal plot, then return to artifacts, then ceremony plot. He treats his movies like a kid who eats the portions of his dinner separately, and won't let any food touch any other food.
Chris: Maybe the goal was to keep things into separate "levels," or am I giving him too much credit? Either way, we are finally at the climax of the movie. Ben Kingsley opens the box to find that there's nothing in there (yeesh), Michael Madsen and that one dude escape by taking advantage of the fact that all of Kingsley's henchmen are dumb as hell, and we get another bloody fight scene where pretty much everyone dies. It's like Hamlet, if Hamlet was s**t.
Matt: I actually appreciate how long this fight scene is, if only because it means more over-the-top gory goofiness and less talking. The direction here is nutso, though. There's shaky camera, there's weird camera effects, there's crazy out-of-focus shots. It's still easier to follow than most of the Bourne movies' fight scenes, though.
Chris: The best bit is that Ben Kingsley kills Michael Madsen by having two of his henchmen hold him up, then just walking forward while holding a sword out. Like, he walks across a room, stiff arm the whole way. It is hilarious.
Matt: Madsen dies, Not-Bane dies, WhoCares is injured. And that's when Kagan asks Rayne where the heart is, as if he hasn't figured out that she absorbed it. I think she did just actually absorb it, like the eye.
Chris: I guess? We don't really see it, just like we don't see what happens to Billy Zane. I hope these mysteries are explored in the two sequels to this movie.
Matt: Why oh why did you have to mention the sequels. Anyway, Kagan and Rayne fight for a while, she stabs him and Ben Kingsley says, "Ungrateful bitch" with a smirk that is either "this is the only line I'm having fun with" or "career gallows humor."
Chris: Kingsley tries to stab Rayne with an arrow, and this triggers YET ANOTHER FLASHBACK, which gives Rayne the ability to grab Kingsley's hand and shove the arrow into his own heart. Not really sure why he doesn't just, you know, let go of it, but screw it, it ends the movie. Good enough for me.
Matt: There was also a holy water thing that maybe called back to earlier in the movie and maybe didn't. I have no clue. So, without anyone actually assembling all those body parts that seemed so important, ThatGuyRayneBoned dies and she sits down on Kagan's throne because…help me out here, Chris.
Chris: No idea. Everyone in the movie except her is dead now, but why this leads her to sit on a throne and stare unblinkingly into the camera during a slow zoom, your guess is as good as mine.
Matt: Maybe she's evil now? We'll never know, because that's the end of the movie.
Chris: And we definitely aren't watching the sequel.
Matt: Neither of them!
Matt: Um…hm. The over-the-top gore is kind of fun?
Chris: I will say, this is a movie where a lot of really good actors just phone it in. Kingsley's barely there, and Madsen just could not possibly give a damn about what he's doing, to the point where his expression doesn't change one bit when he gets stabbed to death. But despite that, Michelle Rodriguez and Kristianna Loken just flat-out go for it. Loken in particular is actually not bad in this, other than saying a bunch of unrelentingly stupid lines. She's really trying.
Matt: The accents are terrible, but I agree, Loken and Rodriguez especially try to do their best with the material. But, look, we're not having a lot of luck with high points, so why don't I quote the latest five-star review from Netflix?
"This is a tell of God and the inner fight that alot (sic) of people go through. The plaque (sic) in the 13th century.. brought about many things. This is an example of how some handle grief or need. Good plot throughout and thoughtfulness in a gory and yet entertaining way."
So there you go. There are your high points.
Chris: Also? Billy Zane.
Matt: Of course. It's so obvious I almost forgot to say it. His role really doesn't amount to much beyond a "special appearance" though. They nailed that credit.
Chris: So great, though. if you told me he brought his own RenFaire suit and allowed them to film his scenes in a castle he just happened to own, I would believe you.
Chris: Here's something you don't get to say that often: "Sir Ben Kingsley really stunk up the joint in this."
Matt: He and Michael Madsen both just sleepwalk through this (though Madsen has a spottier track record — he was terrible in Sin City, too). Meat Loaf seems to be enjoying himself, but the scene he is in is one hot mess. And though Loken tries, she is still far from good. She got nominated for a Razzie for this and deserved it.
Chris: It's understandable, though. The plot is truly awful, full of weird inconsistencies and muddled logic. It's actually worse than I expected it to be going in.
Matt: I am not even really sure I can put into words how bad the plot of this movie is. Like, we often talk about bad plotting, but this…isn't even really a plot. It's like a kid's painting made into a movie.
Chris: It definitely has that "and then… and then… and then" sort of logic that you get when kids tell stories. "And then they're upset because of a food shortage." "How do they solve it?" "They go to the store."
Matt: Even after Michael Madsen says he can't do that! Just…I can't even articulate it. My tools as a writer are just not adequate for Uwe Boll. He leaves me…unequipped.
Chris: And let's not forget that this dude might be the worst actor ever:
Chris: Sorry, bro. You are pretty bad.
Matt: That's what you get when you let your BSB hair do all your acting for you. Even Howie knew he had to put some oomph into those monster videos.
Chris: I think what made me actively like Rodriguez and Loken so much is that this entire production is full of people who just flat-out do not give a f**k. The script, the direction, the wardrobe, the props – BloodRayne's swords are rounded at the end! – nobody cares. It's what makes that one big fight scene so enjoyable; at least the guys in charge of the fake blood seemed to be having a good time with it.
Matt: The movie's just this collection of perfunctory elements that an alien might think should be in a human film, but none of it comes together. The main plot about finding the artifacts comes to nothing. Billy Zane shows up for some comic relief, but his character just disappears. What I'm saying is that Uwe Boll may not be human.
Chris: This was not a very good film.
Matt: Netflix believed I was only going to give it one star. Netflix was right. On a related note: This thing has an average rating of 2.9 stars! 2.9!*
Chris: Two sequels, man. Which, for some reason, Loken did not appear in.
Matt: I guess she was too busy being in The L Word and being a regular on Burn Notice, which, I will say, is a big step up. She was also Painkiller Jane for that blink-and-you'll-miss-it show.
Chris: What really amazes me is that it took until the third movie for them to get around to Bloodrayne vs. Nazis.
Matt: Uwe Boll: Upending expectations. I do have to say that I did get a kick out of this movie just for its "how is this a movie" value. But I don't think it tops the baffling ineptitude of House of the Dead.
Chris: You know, the second one is apparently a western where BloodRayne fights a vampiric Billy the Kid, and… I don't know, man. I might actually be down for that one.
Matt: They should have crossed it over with the Big Money Rustlas.
Chris: Come on, Matt. Let's watch it. Let's watch BloodRayne movies… FOREVER!!
Matt: No. NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Chris: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

In fact, I would like to make 2 copies, one for Boba Fett and the other for Jango (of course, slightly modified). Could those of you who have taken a mold of you helmets please give me some tips on how you did it? I would like to know what you used to make the mold and how did you divide the mold around the helmet. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
