Largest binational 1812 event in America scheduled for Oct. 12-14 in Lewiston
The 100th anniversary of the War of 1812 was celebrated with a plaque installation in front of Barton Hill.
The 200th anniversary will be slightly more grandiose.
On Friday, Oct. 12, at 7 p.m., visitors who come to Lewiston will see something no one has ever seen before: The largest battery of 1812-period artillery ever assembled in one place, at one time, will bombard Canada in a dramatic nighttime cannonade, accompanied with music and fireworks. It's part of the weekend-long bicentennial celebration titled "Battle of Queenston Heights Commemoration and Re-enactment." It will be the largest binational War of 1812 event in North America this year, and a once-every-100-year event for Lewiston.
"This collection of working period cannons from around the country is being brought to Lewiston to commemorate the first major battle of the War of 1812. This cannon demonstration has never been seen before, and probably won't be seen again," said Rob Trumbull, a volunteer re-enactor from Ohio who will command the American troops locally and is responsible for coordinating the transport of cannons to Lewiston from various locations. The cannons will be loaded with black powder and ignited to create the blasts for demonstration purposes (they will not launch real cannonballs). The fireworks will be shot over the Niagara River toward Canada.
"The Battle of Queenston Heights Commemoration" will be held on the actual 200th anniversary dates of the war's first major battle, and will commemorate the American invasion of Canada on Oct. 13, 1812. Thousands of American troops assembled at Lewiston to establish a foothold in Ontario before winter arrived, in a war that is sometimes referred to as the "The Forgotten War."
Even though the Americans dramatically outnumbered the British during the battle, the Americans lost in a humiliating defeat and more than 1,000 U.S. soldiers were taken prisoner in Queenston.
The entire re-enactment weekend will feature several dramatic events aimed at heightening awareness of this area's key role in the War of 1812, America's "second revolution."
'Off to War' procession and the bombardment of Canada
The cannonade, which will take place at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 12, at the park on North Water Street in Lewiston, will be preceded at 4 p.m. by an "Off to War" procession down Center Street. Re-enactors will manually convey the cannons from Academy Park to the riverfront. Marines will escort President James Madison and his wife, Dolly, in a horse-drawn carriage during the procession. The president will address the public and the troops just prior to the bombardment with a call to action.
Parking lots on North Water Street will be reserved for pedestrian traffic and temporary bleachers will be installed to accommodate spectators. Thousands are expected to attend the free show, and patrons are advised to arrive early to get a space and to bring a lawn chair for seating. The Lewiston boat launch will be closed to traffic after 12:30 p.m. on Friday.
A second bombardment will take place on Saturday, Oct. 13, at 3 p.m., at the Artpark upper parking lot and amphitheater. It will coincide with the Queenston re-enactment taking place across the river at the same time.
Lewiston Ransacked
At noon on Saturday, Oct. 13, British troops will ransack Center Street businesses looking for deserters. Local citizens and merchants will be harassed and bullied as British redcoats turn Lewiston upside down in an attempt to locate the runaways. Several local citizens may even be taken hostage to force locals to give up information as to where the deserters are hiding.
Academy Park Program Tents
A number of 19th century programs and activities are planned all weekend long at Academy Park, and are free to the general public. Hundreds of Western New York elementary school students will participate in the event during organized field trips to Academy Park. These educational ventures will offer a variety of 1812 programming, including dancing, musket drills, songs and a live bald eagle demonstration. Selected middle schoolers will become student journalists and put together video reports on early 19th century living.

Hundreds of Re-enactors
Hundreds of re-enactors from across the U.S. and Canada will converge at the actual launch site of the invasion and will participate in a variety of period programs. The American re-enactors will camp on the Lewiston plateau near Artpark and will be transported by bus across the bridge to participate in the battle re-enactment.
Highlights of the three-day program include two large-scale cannon bombardments of Canada from Lewiston, along with the actual battle re-enactment in Queenston.
The revered British Gen. Isaac Brock was shot and killed by an American sniper. Brock is buried underneath the 185-foot monument that bears his name that was first constructed in 1824 to honor him as the "Savior of Upper Canada." Canadians believe that if it weren't for Brock's cunning and energetic defense of Canada during the War of 1812, Canada would have been conquered and annexed by the U.S., though no evidence exists America had any intention of actually taking over Canada.
"While the Canadians have had Queenston re-enactments in the past, and will have them again in the future, this is a once-in-a-lifetime binational event with American participation that won't be replicated for another 100 years," said volunteer field director Bruce Sutherland, president of the Historical Association of Lewiston. "We have been very fortunate to have local sponsors step up to the plate to enable us to make this happen, especially in making this a free event that is open to the public. It's a tremendous opportunity for folks who have never experienced a period re-enactment to see it for the first time."
"We want to promote and preserve our history," said volunteer Lee Simonson.
"We just want people to know that this was an important place," he said. "We were a focal point for a lot of international attention at that time."
"This is the war that gave us our national anthem," Simonson noted. "This was the war that basically made the United States a real country, and not just an experiment in democracy that nobody knew if it would even work."
100 percent Volunteer Effort
Dozens of volunteer organizers from the Historical Association of Lewiston, and the Friends of Fort George have spent two years preparing for this signature event, which will be free and open to the public. U.S. sponsors include the Town of Lewiston, the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission, Niagara County, the Niagara Falls National Heritage Area, the Village of Lewiston, KeyBank, Modern Corporation, Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel, the Baird Foundation and the New York State Council on the Humanities.
"This is our chance to shine as the nation's eyes will be upon us. This 200th anniversary battle not only defined our nations, but set the stage for the two centuries of peace that followed - the strongest alliance between two countries in the world today. Lewiston is investing more resources in the 1812 commemoration than any other community in Western New York and, better yet, we aren't spending a penny of taxpayer money," said Town of Lewiston Supervisor Steve Reiter.

WA Sending Gun Message To Juveniles
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington lawmakers are exploring a proposal designed to give juveniles a stern message about the consequences of using firearms. A committee in the state House held a hearing yesterday on a bill that would send more youths to a rehabilitation program. King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg said current law leaves the impression that the state tolerates juvenile possession of firearms. The ACLU of Washington is opposing the bill, saying the effort could actually start the process of cycling people in and out of prison for life. The bill would cost between about $1 million to $3 million per year.

Late decisions backfire as Angels, Weaver fall
CLEVELAND -- Mike Scioscia didn't want to pinch-run for Raul Ibanez because he might have needed Collin Cowgill later, didn't want to sacrifice bunt because his bullpen couldn't handle a potential extra-inning game and didn't want to challenge a close call at second because he could've deployed it later.
In the end, Scioscia was managing for situations that never occurred.View Full Game Coverage
CLEVELAND -- Mike Scioscia didn't want to pinch-run for Raul Ibanez because he might have needed Collin Cowgill later, didn't want to sacrifice bunt because his bullpen couldn't handle a potential extra-inning game and didn't want to challenge a close call at second because he could've deployed it later.
In the end, Scioscia was managing for situations that never occurred.View Full Game Coverage
His Angels dropped the opener of a four-game series at Progressive Field on Monday, 4-3, making a loser out of Jered Weaver, absorbing their fourth defeat in the last five games and leaving the top of the eighth inning open for second-guessing.
With the Angels down a run, the 42-year-old Ibanez led off with a walk but was caught stealing on a bang-bang play -- a double play after Chris Iannetta's strikeout -- and the Angels navigated through the frame without a run, wondering what could've been after Erick Aybar's pinch-hit single came with nobody on and finishing the night with a challenge that went unused.
Scioscia had the speedy Cowgill available, but elected not to use him as a pinch-runner because if the Indians used one of their tough lefties, either Marc Rzepczynski or Josh Outman, the Angels' skipper wanted the right-handed-hitting Cowgill to either pinch-hit for the left-handed-hitting Kole Calhoun or play the outfield after C.J. Cron stepped in.
"We were holding him back for that," Scioscia said, "and we just didn't get to that move."
But Calhoun can hit southpaws -- he entered with a .751 career OPS against lefties, compared with a .776 OPS against righties -- and the Indians had a taxed bullpen after they needed their relievers to compile 15 1/3 innings over the previous three games.
Rzepczynski, who leads the Majors in appearances with 36, threw 1 2/3 innings on Sunday and was only available in case of an emergency on Monday. Outman didn't warm up until the ninth, even though Calhoun was due up fourth in the eighth. And Carlos Carrasco was forced to pitch the final 2 1/3 innings of a one-run game, giving up one hit and one walk while recording his first career save.
"My mentality is way different, attacking the hitter and everything," Carrasco said after locking down the Indians' 10th straight home win. "I think I threw 35 pitches, maybe 10 fastballs, because the game was on the line. I used more breaking stuff."
Ibanez had already swiped second base three innings earlier, his third stolen base of the year, and got a great jump on Carrasco, seemingly beating the quick throw from Indians catcher George Kottaras before second-base umpire Rob Drake called him out. Scioscia went out to talk with the umpires, but didn't end up using his remaining challenge to get a replay review.
"From our angle, it looked like his foot was in there," Scioscia said. "But on the replay, we couldn't verify it."
Managers can convince umpires to look at replay via a crew-chief review from the start of the seventh inning to the end of the game, but only if they're out of challenges themselves. Scioscia still had his challenge.
Why not just use it, since it's already the eighth inning and it could mean having the tying run in scoring position?
"You might consider it if you're walking off the field, but there's still a lot of baseball left, and you only want to use that when you think there's a high probability of it being overturned," Scioscia said. "It's not automatic after the seventh inning that a crew will look at a play. If you have a challenge, they have to. So you're mindful of that, and you're also mindful of the probability. If there was a probability that that was going to be overturned, we would've obviously challenged it."
Another option was to have Iannetta -- who had already hit a two-run double and a single off the wall against righty Trevor Bauer -- move Ibanez into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt, but Scioscia was playing for the win on the road. And the fact his bullpen registered 11 2/3 innings while dropping two of three in Atlanta over the weekend made him even more wary of extra innings.
"We certainly didn't have the length tonight," Scioscia said. "You want to try to get a bigger inning if it's going to be available to you. Obviously, it didn't play out that way, but this was a night where we needed to press the action."
And it was a night that ended in plenty of regret.
Weaver served up a two-run homer to Asdrubal Cabrera to put the Indians on the board in the first, then gave up a leadoff homer to Carlos Santana to give them their third lead in the fourth, giving the Angels ace 14 homers allowed this season -- three shy of last year's total.
"It's no secret -- I just can't stay away from the home run ball," said Weaver, who entered with a 1.64 career ERA in Cleveland and left pitching six innings of four-run ball. "It's been killing me lately, and that was the difference in the game again tonight."
His offense didn't help, going 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position, leaving 10 runners on base and having the three best hitters in the lineup -- Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton -- go down in order in the ninth.
"We had a lot of opportunities," Scioscia said. "A lot of opportunities and couldn't cash in on enough of them."

Martin Reisch, aka safe solvent is iMore's go-to videographer for events like CES and Macworld, and he's just joined us in New York City for our big, upcoming [Redacted]. The moment he landed he walked in with a giant Crumpler Dry Red No. 9 gear bag, and we just knew we had to get a look inside it.
Starting at the top, Martin had his 5D Mark III, and since he's a firm believer in backup bodies, he had his 5D Mark II as well. For lenses, he brought with him his Canon 24-70 F2.8 L, Canon 50 F1.2 L, and Canon 70-200 F2.8 L.
He also packed his RED Scarlet, a massively impressive 4K camera with an EF mount that lets him use the very same Canon lenses.
Despite all that glass, Martin's daily driver is still his iPhone 5, along with a Joby Gorilla Pod GripTight. You can see samples of that work over on Instagram, and as for the work he's doing this week...
... Stay tuned!

Meet me at the River Part II by Bumblebee
Within this soul bears a longing desire
The need to imagine the impossible,
And to create it with passion's fire.
I move through each season,
In hopes of finding that dream.
When the winter has gone,
My heart turns towards Spring.
Here is where creation comes to bountiful life,
Shedding the dreary shadows,
and the darkness, and the night.
Here is when Light, brings forth the goodness of earth
And here is where my dreams and my visions are birthed.
Reaching beyond, that wall of doubt
Yet grounded and sturdy, no chance of losing out.
I hear a distant cry among the boughs and sturdy limbs,
It is my sister, my vision! My dreaming mirthful twin.
At last! A silvery splash! She beckons to me now,
"I remember the way back dear sister!
I remembered it somehow!"
A cheerful sport, a dazzling fin!
Birthed of water, a visionary twin!
A frolic, a twirl, musical laughter that binds
One heart, one soul, one purpose, one mind.
The wondering has ceased, for the time is at hand.
The moon has ventured into another's empty land.
My soul has found rest, in the presence of such Love,
And I remember to thank the One who hails from above.
Reader lest you ponder, at my musings these last days,
Bumble had forgotten who she was, but that is all changed.
It's the simplest imperfection, that can cause great mountains of doubt,
Can cause even the mightiest of mighty to run and turn about.
And so this tale has ended and the moon outshines the sun,
If there is one thing Bumble has learned,
She must learn to have fun!……again 😛
Thank you for stopping by on your busy busy Friday! If you would like to read part 1 click here. I realize my 'poetry' is a bit 'elementary' but Dr Seuss, was my teacher, and we have the same birthary…eh heh.

Minister for International Development Pekka Haavisto will travel to Washington, D.C., on 10–12 April and to New York on 13–14 April. During his trip, Haavisto will participate in the World Bank Spring Meetings and meet UN leaders. The topics of discussion will include the post-2015 global UN development goals, currently under preparation, and the issues of peace and security.
In Washington, D.C., Minister Haavisto will represent Finland in the World Bank Spring Meetings, and the joint World Bank-IMF Development Committee meeting. The main theme of the Development Committee will be how the World Bank Group could support developing countries to achieve economic growth shared more widely across populations.
In connection with the Spring Meetings, Haavisto will participate in, for example, a debate on the economic impacts of climate change, chaired by Managing Director of IMF Christine Lagarde, President of the World Bank Jim Yong Kim, and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Other topics of discussion at the high-level panels Haavisto will attend include peacebuilding in Africa; inequality and illegal capital flows; and water and sanitation issues.
In addition, in Washington Haavisto will meet, for example, President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) Kanayo F. Nwanze, and several representatives of the US Administration, think tanks and NGOs.
In New York, Minister Haavisto will have meetings with, for instance, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations Jan Eliasson and Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's Special Adviser Amina J. Mohammed.
The discussions will focus particularly on fragile states; issues of peace and development; the situations in, for example, the Horn of Africa and the Central African Republic; and the post-2015 global UN development goals, currently under preparation.
Many of the meetings are related to Minister Haavisto's chairmanship of the international forum promoting the development of fragile states (the International Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Statebuilding (IDPS)). The IDPS focuses on countries suffering from conflicts and instability, and it brings together the fragile states, international donors and the civil society.

And I am not saying that this is it, the gospel, this is just the way I look at it. So the other day I thought to myself, "Man, this would make a great article." As I started listing candidates for the article I found that the list got long really fast. Thus, I decided that I would stop at 28, because it's as good of a number as any, and it was enough for a broad spectrum of builders. So here it is, 28 tattoo great machine builders... (If I missed anyone don't be offended, it's nothing personal, I just had to think of space. Maybe there'll be additions in a future article?) So without further ado here they are, starting with historical builders, because they were the pioneers and should be recognized first, (plus I'm a history buff) and then moving to present day. Again this is not a Top 10 list, just a list of great builders, hope you enjoy… PART IV on expanded page... Dano Collins My name is Dano Collins, and I'm an electromagnet junkie. 38 years tattooing, six years building handmade custom machines. Published my book on machine building, The Elusive Electromagnet in 2008. You're only as cool as your machines! Contact Dano Collins here: www.OldSchoolIrons.com Rod Tribe I started tattooing back in 1989 in a small town (Population 2000-plus), back then equipment and supplies (well anything decent) had to be sourced back to the States, between faxes, wire transfers, lengthy transit times... Things were a nightmare, not to mention high exchange rates. In about '93 I decided to have a go at making my own machines, milling frames from alloy and having blanks cast for me. At that time I thought anything I could do to build on my machine base and learn from the tools would not go astray, the Net wasn't around and neither was a lot of information. I initially made a few machines for myself and dropped some into a studio in a larger city with the purpose of having someone else give me feedback. When I went into the studio a week later I could hear that alloy singing out back, that artist looked at me and said, "Shit, I'm working three-times faster" and his client's comment sealed it, "And it is a lot less painful." I never really got into any serious machine building until about the mid 2000s. The town I came from went through some major business closures, which saw me taking on fulltime employment with tattoo clientele dropping off, I eventually moved my family with work and to this day while tattooing is still a large part of my life, I only tattoo on the very odd occasion through friends studios'. This drove me deeper into the mechanics of machines and also into expressing art through machines. The Net proved a huge source of information and history. While I curse the Net in many ways, I also applaud it for helping me learn more of the history and of those who helped pave the way: Rogers, Jones, Waters are but three who inspire me. You cannot beat a classic, and blending/bending their styles creates some very nice machines. In terms of modern inspiration there are many skilled builders out there today, Aaron [Cain] has done some amazing stuff, his mechanics stand out in any line-up, and in a way has probably pushed me in defining my own organic style. While the likes of Mike Pike, Marv, Morgan and the many other talented guys out there just drive me to do better and continually push myself in terms of my cleaner styles. Contact Rod Tribe here: Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Website: http://www.Inkspressit.com John Clark As far back as I can remember I've had a great love for anything mechanical. My grandfather, being a machinist and watch repairman, got me on the right track. I could read a set of micrometers at about eight years old and sat for hours listening to all of his tricks of the trade, but he was also a good charcoal artist and so was my mom. She spent countless hours sketching with me at the kitchen table. I don't think she would have if she had only known what I would do with it. I started out as a scratcher on friend's when I was about 16. I had a machine I built from a old voltage regulator, they should have broke my hands. The first real shop I went to work at was in 1996 in Longview, Texas. There I had a friend that had an old Jonesy that he thought was the shit, so I was determined to build me one. That started it for me. There was just something I really enjoyed about building these machines. I build all my own parts except for some screws and washers. That's the only way I can control the quality of my machines. All of my machines have 99.8 percent pure iron cores this isn't the same as 1018, don't be fooled. All of my springs are cut from Swiss Spring Stock. All frames are cast here in house from mostly bronze. Most important of all, I stand behind them. If you have any problem out of them you can reach me and I will take care of it. I really appreciate all of you who have bought machines and made this possible. I love my job… Contact John Clark here: http://www.johnclarktattoomachines.com http://www.youtube.com/user/clarktattoom Rusty Gordon It all started in 1977. For the first 10 years I used several good machines, and some not so good. I tried assembling frames I bought from a supply company in kits. Didn't do too bad, but still felt there was better, and there was... I just couldn't get my hands on them. I did some castings and put other companies parts on them, I assembled them and they didn't do too bad. I found a machinist and tattooed him for years. I asked if he would mill a frame for me, he did it and it was awesome. I did five of them and they got dispersed to friends. I kinda lost the feeling about building machines and it took a back-burner to my tattooing. After over three decades of tattooing, I did several guest spots at shops all over the country, went to one, and it was all over... I felt the building-blood boil again. The rebirth of Dirty Irons was in full swing and I have no plans on stopping. I have a lot of artists over the years to thank for the push and shove, you know who you are, my hat is off to you. Contact Rusty Gordon here: www.dirtyirons.com www.facebook.com/rustygordon Phone: 865-308-5459 Jeffery Reilly I have been building for two years, and I guess having an engineering background it was a natural progression in my journey as a tattooer. I wanted to understand the machine better and keep the hand-built method alive with the skills I have obtained over the years. There are many builders that have come before me, past and present, and I pay homage to them all. I've mainly been influenced by Jensen, Walker and Waters to mention a few. I now have designs of my own, developing the guts and bolts style, which has become a solid foundation for my path ahead. I guess you could say I'm the older new kid on the block. I have been tattooing for eight years and enjoy every moment of it. I'm currently working at Bisy Tatts in Hobart, Tasmania. Contact Jeffery Reilly here: Phone: 0418 910 829 Donnie Irish My name is Donnie Irish, I started my tattoo career in 1997 Hayward, CA. I started cutting springs and tuning machines for local tattooers and it just grew from there , I bought a drill press, then a lathe etc... etc... These days I own and operate my shop in Northern California in the city of Rohnert Park. Contact Donnie Irish here: True Luck Tattoo: 707-623-2273 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com John Boyd Building machines over four years tattooing seven years. I prefer bold American traditional tattooing. My favorite tattooers are: Cap Coleman, Krooked Ken, Clae Welch, Ryan Gagne to name a few building influences would be Percy Waters first and foremost. I like a lot of the old timers like Jonesy, Wagner, Zies, et cetera -strictly from a design aspect. But there's a lot of sick builders these days. Most of the builders I'm into these days are friends of mine. So not only do they inspire me but they are my peers as well. Just to name a few of the guys that are doing next level shit: Seth Ciferri, Mike Pike, Donnie Irish... There's a couple other guys I have been watching lately that I dig like Andy Bolin and Chris Smith [Workhorse Irons]. And I always liked Carl Marx and Ralfy (Ralfy's handmades) from England as well. Ralfy builds a mean-ass handmade Percy model A. Contact John Boyd here: Email: email@example.com Website: http://BLUECOLLARIRONS.COM/ So as you can see that there are quite a few talented Builders out there, and there is a rich history in the tattoo machine in the last 135 years. Unfortunately there's only so much space in an article, as I could of gone on and on. But I think this gives you an idea of some of the great builders out there. With all the crap tattoo machines and knockoffs coming out of china it's good to know that there is a handful good old fashioned machine builders out there, carrying on a tradition, and keeping the tattoo world buzzing along… [Editor's note: This was the last installment in Jay Brown's Machine Builders' series.

Oh, Mill Creek DVD--every time I'm just about ready to give up on your poor-quality transfers of mostly forgettable public domain dreck, every time I'm almost ready to swear I'll never drop twenty bucks on another fifty movie pack that will never live up to the glories of that 50 Chilling Classics set, you come through with an undiscovered gem to remind me why I've been telling everyone about you for two years running. You're like a bad girlfriend who every now and then comes through with a truly sweet gesture and/or mind-blowing sex. I just can't quit you, baby!
The kicker this time comes from my barely-tapped Night Screams set, which seems to be made up mostly of 1940s poverty row programmers. However, nestled in there among the odd Tod Slaughter film and jungle-woman adventure flicks, this weekend I found John Hayes's 1974 groovy gothic Grave of the Vampire. Was the print bad? Terrible. Was the sound off? You betcha. Were the production values low? But of course. But the flick has that special something that brings a smile to the Vicar's face. Call it heart, call it ambition, call it borderline-incestuous vampire lore starring one of the most distinctive granite-chinned character actors of the 70s and 80s; I call it kismet.
It's the early 1950s somewhere in California, and Caleb Croft (Michael Pataki, whose lengthy filmography includes such roles as Count Dracula in Zoltan, Hound of Dracula, George Martin in Sweet 16, and 'Man Who Moons Courtroom' in 1982's Night Shift) rests uneasy in his tomb. As the lid creaks and shifts, the credits roll over some cool spooky music and gothic fog banks that set a nice tone. Then we're whisked away to a wild college party, where Paul and Leslie (Jay Scott and Kitty Vallacher, memorably credited in the opening crawl as "The Unwilling Mother") are making their excuses so they can sneak off for a little slap and tickle. The partygoers beg them to stay--"Lola Blossom's gonna do a dance, and we got all the freshers dressed up like dogs so they can crawl on their knees and bark at her!"--but our het-up young couple climb in the antique sedan and take off. If I had been Paul and heard that invitation, I guarantee you the movie would have been about an hour and twenty minutes shorter.
Paul and Leslie go straight to the local graveyard, which is strongly implied as the site of their first premarital coupling. ("It was almost on this very spot!" Paul grins, affectionately stroking a gravestone.) He's returned to the scene of the crime to ask Leslie to marry him, an offer she readily accepts, despite the fact that he's clearly fifteen years older than she. Of course Paul couldn't have picked a worse night to make an honest woman of her, as Caleb Croft picks just that moment to rise from his tomb--a bestial, dessicated corpse--and goes on the expected rampage that leaves Paul bent backwards over a gravestone and drained of blood. Apparently quenching his bloodlust makes Caleb hornay, and Leslie, her heart as broken as her lover's spine, is dragged screaming into a convenient open grave to sate the vampire's OTHER wicked desires.
Back at the station, Lietuenant Panzer (Eric Mason, who had a little vampire experience thanks to his appearance a year earlier in Scream Blacula Scream!), is one of those refreshing investigators who doesn't let himself get bogged down in traditional police work routine. He considers the facts--one dead, drained body, one traumatized, molested girl, and one conspicuously empty tomb--and immediately jumps to the only sane conclusion: VAMPIRE ON THE LOOSE! Seriously, this is his first and ONLY theory! Lucky for him it's absolutely correct. Meanwhile, the understandably unstable Leslie finds out she's pregnant and persuades herself it must be Paul's baby. She also becomes BFFs with strung-out looney Olga (Lieux Dressler), who convinces her the doctors are full of shit when they say she should abort the baby (the doc's bedside manner her is exemplary: "What's growing inside you isn't alive!...What's inside your womb is not a human being, it's a parasite!") and the two women leave the hospital together, determined to birth that baby come hell or high water.
After Croft kills another local, we're all set-up for the Cop vs. the Armies of the Undead thriller of the sort most of us have seen more than once. However, Hayes and co-writer David Chase have a few twists up their sleeves--after meticulously setting Panzer up as the vampire-fighting hero, they have him wander by the Croft Crypt to do some investigatin'. Once there he's surprised by the vampire himself (now wearing a cape that he did not have in his coffin, just to remove any confusion, I guess) who chokes the cop out, opens the concrete sarcophagus, and crushes the lieutenant's head under the lid! Awesome! Myah, who's yer messiahr now, see?
Nine months later Leslie is giving birth to her little bundle of joy, with Olga dressed in a period pilgrim outfit to serve as midwife. The baby is born with gray skin and an aversion to milk, to the point that even Olga must suggest they take him to the town doctor to find out what (the fuck) is up. But when Leslie, baby uselessly pressed to her breast, reaches for a super sharp paring knife to peel an apple (like you do), the resultant blood splatter falls on junior's lips, and I bet you can guess what happens after that. Some creepy kooky visuals here include Leslie cutting her breast to give her baby suck, the blood splatters around the hungrily licking baby's mouth, and Mom taking a syringe full of arterial goodness and using it to fill a baby bottle!
Suddenly we get a montage of the little tyke growing up, complete with a Wonder Years-style voice over from the grown man he becomes. We see he can walk around in daylight but prefers the shadows, and never quite "fit in" with the rest of his pals--which only makes sense, as he's half human/half vampire, with the strengths and weaknesses of each. On her deathbed mom spills the beans and tells young James about his ill-fated nativity, at which point he swears he'll hunt down the vampire who raped his mother and make him pay for his crimes! Hey, Wesley Snipes, are you taking notes?
James "Don't Call Me Blade" Eastwood is played by bodybuilder/character actor William Smith, whose face should be instantly recognizable to any fan of action movies of the late 70s and 80s. The granite chin, the chiseled, squinty eyes, the flat geometric planes of his face--it's hard to imagine a tougher looking fellow, and it's not surprising he's had very few leading roles, since he seems tailor-made to play the villain/henchman/tough-as-nails military type (as he did memorably in his role as General Mintz in Memorial Valley Massacre). Here he's the romantic lead, though, and does reasonably well lending a Clint Eastwood-esque intensity to his role of fearless vampire hunter.
James tracks Croft to a university campus, where he's taken to teaching extremely well-attended night classes in mythology and folklore. The first night James meets roommates Anita Jacoby (Diane Holden) and Ann Arthur (Lyn Peters). Swingin' folklore major Anita comes on to James hard, demonstrating a shared interest in the infamous Salem Witch Trials-era vampire John Croydon, who James secretly believes to be Croft. However, James only has eyes for Literature teacher Ann, and it's not long before he's got her back at his apartment, drinking wine and doing the horizontal mambo to the music of their beating hearts. (A throwaway bit where Ann finds a half-eaten plateful of raw meat with a knife and fork on the side is a nice touch.)
Meanwhile, Croft knows James is onto him, though for what purpose he doesn't yet dream. There are a couple of cool vampire rampage scenes thrown in here, as Anita confronts Croft with his identity and demands he make her his vampire bride, only to have her throat slit for her trouble, and another borderline-hilarious bit where Croft gets very testy with a sassy librarian MILF who won't lend him the book he wants.
What's very interesting to me at this point is the clearly intentional Oedipal twist on the vampire/revenge plot here. James is clearly Oedipus Rex, out to kill his father for having fucked his mom. This is further underlined by Croft's realization that Ann is the reincarnation of his first wife Sarah, who was burned for a witch in Salem. Of course James is schtupping Ann, the wife of his father, bringing the whole classical reference full circle. Like I say, a neat take on the convention, and one I don't believe I've seen before.
Things take a turn for the MAD when Croft sets up a seance for some of his more promising students, secretly hoping to summon Sarah's spirit so that his wife can permanently possess Ann's body and they can be together forever. One step ahead, James uses his vamp-mojo to summon Anita's spirit instead, leading to a crazy scene where Ann speaks in Anita's voice, taunting Croft and offering still to be his vampire bride if he'll just kill Ann already so she can take permanent residence. James breaks that up with a quickness, and once Croft has disposed of the rest of the party guests, it's time for the big final confrontation between father and son.
"I'm your SON!"--all bets are off and a truly epic battle begins. I'm talking five minutes of brutal, Naschy-meets-Roddy Piper in THEY LIVE style violence. During the course of this tussle Croft gets whipped with chains, James gets set ON FIRE, and the buff beefy son GORILLA SLAMS his dad down the ornate mansion stairs! Of course it can only end with Oedipus the King triumphant, but it appears James has neglected one little piece of dhampyr lore related to the inheritance due the son upon the father's death...
I enjoyed Grave of the Vampire from the beginning on, but that wild finish is what pushed it over the edge into Mad Movie love. Freudian psychology, subverted genre expectations, and a final battle to send you out of the grindhouse cheering--what's not to love? If there had just been a little more gore and/or nudity (the movie falls squarely into the PG-horror category), it would have been a 3-thumb no-brainer. Still, I can't give it less than 2.85 thumbs for sheer passion and entertainment value. I don't know if this one movie is worth buying the whole Mill Creek Night Screams set for, but it's definitely worth seeking out on its own if you get the chance.

And children, this was written by the creator of THE SOPRANOS.
Vicar, Night Screams tends to skew old, with a lot of old-dark-house type movies and some profoundly odd stuff like The Lion Man. I was rather amused by Manfish, a '50s film with Lon Chaney Jr. as a sailor, but overall I, too, find myself opening this one less often than other Mill Creeks. Grave was entertaining, though, with an almost stereotypical Seventies unhappy ending. That's how I like 'em.

@Samuel Wilson--I had no idea about the Sopranos connection here. But then I don't have cable--just stacks and stacks of bargain DVDs to pass the time with. ;)

*shudder* Between the credit of THE UNWILLING MOTHER and Screen Grab #4, with the baby lips and blood, this is quite possibly THE most stomach-churning thing I've read on the web today.
Although--Ell Oh Ell at "Lieutenant Panzer." Is he anything like the Van Helsing character in Richard Elfman's "Modern Vampires"...?
- November 16, 2009 at 3:04 PM
Aaargh, so upsetting to see something with this level of inherent Madness stop short of going over-the-top with a bit of added sleaze. What were they thinking? A tad bit more gore, a tweak up on the violence-meter, a bare breast or four, or - the Holy Grail - a coupl'a lusty lesbian vampires/satanists/schoolgirls mixing it up, and where would this one be?
Ah well.
Tell me, V., the 2.85... More than 2.75, but not quite 3.0. Why specifically .85?

This used to be a staple of WOR-Channel 9 in NYC's weekday afternoon/Saturday morning horror rotation. Yep, nothing like coming home from a tough day at elementary school to watch Grave of the Vampire and its Count Rapey Dude and bloody nipple sucking baby scenes. They also used to show the two Count Yorga films and Deathmaster a lot as well, with very few cuts.

I just wrote a bit about my conflicted love/hate for public domain box sets, particularly the Mill Creek editions. I will fully admit that I have a problem and have yet to hit rock bottom and have my moment of clarity. Grave of the Vampire is *exactly* the reason I keep going back to these things (which I actually picked up via a torrent back before I got kicked off Cinemageddon), and I have a sinking suspicion Night Screams will be my next stop. It's odd how comforting it is to have a big pile of this kinda stuff (even the absolute dreck) sitting next to the dvd player. I've been doing a lot of thinking about how much of this crap I watched and no longer consciously remember from my misspent youth, and once in a while I'll catch a film which is almost like a repressed memory (Pickup is my perfect example of that). Excellent review, sir!
(word verification: dysinski, which I think is a disease whose symptoms include megalomania, shrieking in German and cold Teutonic staring.)

@Kate--I must admit my memories of "Modern Vampires" are hazy, and consist mostly of "I am *not* enjoying this." In fact, if memory serves, it was one of the movies that pushed me toward my long-standing "No Casper Van Dien Flicks EVER" rental policy--I've never enjoyed anything he was involved in. :P
@Geo--it is frustrating when they don't give it that little extra oomph that turns a triple into a home run, but I still dug this one quite a bit. As to the reasoning behind 2.85, there's a complicated algorithm I use involving the movie's budget, the number of name actors, the frequency of continuity errors, the phase of the moon, and the shape of the blemishes on the liver of the goat sacrificed prior to the write up, and the Duke's number of sex partners (human and un- ) in the previous week. Rest assured I've checked the calculations thrice, and there is no error: 2.85 thumbs it is. ;)
@Fred--Those were the days! Now it's all Spongebob and Power Rangers and what have you. Though I understand the Power Rangers can be rather rapey and bloodthirsty off camera. As for Spongebob...
@db--thanks for the link! It was a batch of dollar-store dvd double-features that got the Duke and I started on this Internet Odyssey of ours, so I can never forego them completely. For every 20 or so complete piles of trash, there's one shining nugget like this. It's enough.
And BTW--I know a couple of people who suffer from dysinski. Although "suffer" is not quite the word. "Revel in" is closer. ;)

"Love my new solar blinds!"
By MN mom from Minnesota
I have solar vertical blinds on a patio door, so when I decided to get blinds for the high windows in a vaulted living room, I knew these were what I wanted. I got my new ones in a dark coffee shade - looks great in the room with my brown leather furniture and cuts the glare and heat while still allowing me to enjoy the view outside. I have received many compliments from visitors on these as well!View this product

Reader's Mopar Rides
Hemi-Powered, Woodward-Ready
Who: Dan Brudzinzki
Where: Livonia, Michigan
What: '69 Plymouth Road Runner
Dan's been into Mopars for ages, especially after a couple of guys on his street came home from Vietnam and bought muscle Mopars with their mustering-out pay.
A few years later, he bought his first one—a '69 Road Runner. Ten Mopars later in 2004, he bought his first basket case—another '69 Road Runner, originally a 383/column-shifted ride that was missing its engine, interior, and glass.
Dan and his buds Ronnie, Jake, and Kenny built it the way he'd have ordered it, with a Hemi and a four-speed, an interior from Legendary, glass from AMD, tti headers with a 3-inch exhaust, and a 3.55-geared Sure Grip. Also going on, PST front disc brakes, Cragar S/S wheels shod with BFG's in front and Mickey Thompson's in back, and two-stage B5 Blue over a white bucket seat interior.
Dan also sends a big shout-out to his wife Renee for her support during the build.
Restified Rallye
Who: Gene Dickerson
Where: Jupiter, Florida
What: '72 Dodge Challenger Rallye
Gene bought his Challenger Rallye in 2009 from its original owner and drove it around with the stock 340 in it—until he found it wasn't holding its own against other muscle cars on the street.
That's where Gene's good friend Walter Wood stepped in. He'd built a '67 440 into a 528-inch stroker, which soon replaced the 340. Also going in was a beefed-up 727 TorqueFlite, a set of subframe connectors, a rack-and-pinion steering setup, Super Stock rear springs, air conditioning, and a paint job that restored its original red color.
The first time Gene showed it, at Mopars at Big Daddy's—which was also his first trip to that fall show at the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing in Ocala, where he scored a Third Place Participants' Choice trophy.
Gene adds that whenever the sun's shining in Jupiter, he'll be driving his Challenger, beautifying the streets of Jupiter in the process!

Subscribe To Cast Of Pedro Almodovar's Standby Lovers Revealed Updates
I've already subscribed
Last year Spanish auteur Pedro Almodovàr drew worldwide critical acclaim with his latest melodrama The Skin I Live In. The outrageous filmmaker was heralded for implementing elements of horror to unfold a disturbing yet beautiful story of love and revenge. It was a new terrain for Almodovàr, and he tackled it with aplomb. But for his next featureAmantes Pasajeros—or Standby Lovers as it'll be known Stateside—the taboo-courting writer-director is looking to return to his roots. THR spoke with Almodovàr's brother and producer Agustin Almodovàr, who unveiled some enticing details about the in-development project.
Set to shoot this summer in Madrid, Standby Lovers will be a "pure comedy" in the vein of the films the brothers made in the '80s, like Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. Already lined up to front the picture are recurring Almodovàr collaborators Lola Duenas (Volver, Broken Embraces), Javier Camara (Talk to Her, Bad Education) and Cecilia Roth (Talk to Her, All About My Mother). They will be joined by popular Spanish comedians Carlos Areces and Raúl Arévalo, who both appeared in the twisted horror-comedy The Last Circus, and Mexican actor Jose Maria Yazpik (The Burning Plain). Together this daring batch of thespians will form what Agustin has deemed a "choral" cast.
Does he mean ensemble or is it implied Standby Lovers will be some sort of musical? At this point, it's hard to say. It's rumored that the bulk of the film will take place on a plane, and the focus will be on the relationships between its passengers. While this unquestionably favors choral meaning ensemble, it doesn't necessarily count out the alternative. Personally, I'm kind of hoping for both. Almodovàr has such an incredible skill for spectacle and theatricality that I'd love to see what he'd do with a musical. But either way, Standby Lovers should prove spectacular.
Almodovar's production company El Deseo has divulged plans to release Standby Lovers in the Spring of 2013 simultaneously in as many territories as possible to reduce incidents of piracy.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The scenery is a bit different now, but Phillip Fulmer doesn't mind. The former Tennessee coach still has a sizable corner office, one situated on the edge of a lake. But its view is in stark contrast with the one from Fulmer's old workplace. There, at Neyland Stadium, 100,000 Volunteers fans used to look down on him on fall Saturdays.
Fulmer has had time to gain a new perspective on life. The onetime BCS champion has been a partner at BPV Capital Management for the better part of four years. He lends a hand to BPV's business development team, which manages investment and retirement funds for clients. Yet a quick look inside Fulmer's expansive office offers a window to his past. Signed Tennessee helmets and pictures decorate shelves along the wall. A framed Power T hangs just outside his door. People in the area still remember Fulmer as a veteran face of the SEC — that's why he often corrects fans when they stop by to chat.
"I'm certainly not retired," said Fulmer, his BCS title ring on his left hand. "People ask me all the time, 'How are you doing with retirement?' I'm certainly not retired. I've got like three jobs it seems like."

A world of experience
By Abby Rhodes
September 1, 2011
To ensure the University is preparing marketing students to succeed in an increasingly competitive global job climate, Dr. Matthew O'Brien went into the trenches – to classrooms on the other side of the world to see how Bradley students stack up against their Japanese counterparts.
O'Brien spent last summer as a Fulbright Scholar, teaching graduate courses in consumer behavior and marketing strategy at Kobe University in Japan.
"As an instructor, it was a tremendous opportunity to gain additional exposure to international students and benchmark their skills against our students'," O'Brien said. "And in doing so, I received some terrific feedback from the Japanese and other international students that I will share back at Bradley."
O'Brien's courses drew students not only from Japan, but also from Europe, Australia and other parts of Asia. The opportunity to collaborate with such a diverse group of students was the fortunate outcome of a devastating event that nearly hijacked O'Brien's Fulbright experience altogether. Originally invited to teach in the earthquake and tsunami ravaged city of Sendai, O'Brien and his family were rerouted to Kobe where aftermath from the disaster was limited to minor inconveniences in daily life.
His experience was just the latest in a long tradition of international expeditions by Bradley faculty awarded Fulbright grants. O'Brien is one of nine current faculty who have taught, studied and/or conducted research abroad through the highly selective program. Two of them, Dr. Nancy Sherman and Dr. Christopher Rybak, both professors in the College of Education and Health Sciences, have each received two Fulbright awards. Dr. Timothy Conley, professor of English, has received three Fulbright awards.
"The large number of Bradley faculty who have been honored as Fulbright recipients is further proof of our University's reputation for excellence at the international level," said Bradley President Joanne Glasser. "By embracing opportunities to broaden their perspectives and diversify their research, these faculty are wonderful role models for Bradley students, who are encouraged to think globally, dream big and aspire to lifelong learning."
Next spring, Dr. Jenny Tripses, associate professor in the Department of Leadership in Education, Human Services and Counseling, will study and teach at the Vinnytsia University in the Ukraine.
"I cannot praise the Fulbright program enough for the opportunity it afforded me, and has provided my colleagues, to enrich teaching with a greater global context," O'Brien said.

"Last night's collapse of a section of the I-5 bridge in Washington State is a frightening reminder of the critical state of our nation's infrastructure. We are thankful that no one was killed, but an incident like this should never be acceptable in this nation.
"The truth is, we have no one to blame but ourselves for a long-standing lack of sufficient investment in our nation's infrastructure right here at home. The perilous state of the I-5 bridge was already known - it had been deemed fracture critical and functionally obsolete. And sadly, this is among one of an alarming number of bridges across our nation in a degrading condition.
"The statistics are more than enough to raise concern:
"There is not only a human cost to our crumbling infrastructure, but also an economic one. A lack of investment in port infrastructure could account for $270 billion in export losses by 2020; likewise, air traffic delays cost the economy $33 billion a year, while freight bottlenecks could cost the American economy as much as $200 billion per year. Last night's collapse will indefinitely cut off one of the main connections between Seattle and Canada, affecting commuter travel and commerce.
"Our country has spent $89 billion rebuilding the roads and bridges of Afghanistan and $69 billion rebuilding the roads and bridges of Iraq, yet this Congress will spend only $53 billion rebuilding the roads and bridges of our own country. This is unacceptable.
"Last night's bridge collapse should be a wakeup call. It's time to do some real nation building right here at home."
Higgins has repeatedly advocated for a large-scale investment in American infrastructure. Last year, he introduced H.R. 4352, the Nation Building Here at Home Act, which calls for a $1.2 trillion investment in U.S. infrastructure over the next five years. A report by the New America Foundation, titled "The Way Forward," found this level of investment will create more than 27 million jobs through the projects themselves and multiplier effects.
Higgins will reintroduce this legislation this year.

So what were my credentials for hopping on board the Hawks bandwagon? Well *thinking quickly* I only live 3 miles from the ground (tick) and thus I was able to walk to the ground - which means there is 0.8m Man Utd fans who can't have a pop (cheap gag that - Ed). I'm also their lucky mascot having seen them win their first trophy for umpty thrumpty years last season when they won the Sussex County Cup. Thirdly, I give you Sam Crabb. Crabby is the EFW sponsored player this season. I signed him up for Lewes but he moved to Whitehawk midway through the season.
Crabby's move highlights the fact that Whitehawk actually have more money than Lewes. They are backed by a couple of wealthy types and are very much a club on the up. For this game their average home crowd was 10x the norm with 1,331 punters putting 6GBP each into a plastic pint pot upon entering the Enclosed Ground. The odd 31 were made up of the travelling contingent from Norfolk. Fair play to them.
The last time this ground was full was for an FA Vase match with Truro a couple of seasons back. On that day a minor bit of crowd trouble marred the day and took the headlines. Pleasingly, everyone was on their best behaviour for this cup tie and the club will have done themselves the world of good in terms of publicity, despite the result. The ground is also one of the more picturesque you'll find in Sussex and no mistake. Well worth the visit.
The first thing you notice as you enter the ground is the exaggerated slope of the pitch. Mmm....a sloping pitch which invoked memories of classic cup ties of yesteryear at the likes of Barnet and Yeovil. Not only is the pitch a sloper but the main stand is wonky as well. I'd had my fill of Guinness when I took up my position on the terracing/muddy banks granted but someone else will confirm the slopage factor of this ground I'm sure. It's up in the high 70's.
The crowd was made up of mainly Brighton & Hove Albion fans buoyed by their recent form as well as representatives from lots of Non-League clubs around Sussex. There was also a large EFW contingent with friends from Shrewsbury Town, Bournemouth and The Lewes Lunatic Fringe present. Even the infamous Merstham ultras had put in a Sunday shift. Phwoar!
Aside from a trip to Wembley, the talk of the terracing/muddy banks was the corn beef vol au Vents in the VIP tent beforehand. How the other half (FA suits mainly) live eh!? With these players being of the County League persuasion we were also hoping to see some players the size of bus in the belly department. As it was, Hawks joint-gaffer George Parris took the stakes by virtue of the fact he is now the width of 2 x Micky Quinns.
So what of the match? It has to be said Whitehawk fluffed their lines. The first half was fairly drab as nerves and the bobbly surface made things difficult for both sides. In the second half Wroxham and in particular Steve "Spriggsy" Spriggs began to turn the screw for the underdogs. Paul Cook put his noggin to good use by heading their opener just seconds after the break and Andy Eastaugh's 25 yard screamer put the gloss on the away sides 2-0 win.
Whitehawk's best moment came courtesy of a dipping shot from Danny Davis who rattled the bar in the first half and their worst came in injury time when the other joint-gaffer Darren Freemen was sent for an early bath by virtue of a rouge elbow into one of the oppositions boatrace - allegedly. One goal would have set the second leg up nicely. As it is, Wroxham now look favourites to join possibly Vase specialists Whitley Bay at Wembley. Good luck to them.

THE DEADBOLT: After watching the season, is there anything you wish we saw that wasn't aired?THOMAS: There was one time. I don't know if I can even mention this, but we were stopped in the airport for security and we were going to Sweden ...JILL: On that first flight that was early.THOMAS: ... we had tickets on that earlier flight when half of the people got there earlier and half got there later.JILL: We got on that first flight and got stopped from competing by the German police.THOMAS: We got stopped because they were filming in a secure area.JILL: Yeah, the passport area and they we didn't realize it as we were running through the door. So we actually missed that flight we had seats on because the German police had to look through our footage to make sure there wasn't anything on it.
Although you did not know it, one has to question what difference it made. The Express Pass had to be used in Sweden, St. Petersburg, or Oman before its 8 leg use limit ran out. Since Thomas and Jill made it to the finale anyway, I will argue that it did not matter that they had to use the Express Pass in Sweden (actually, they didn't but they wanted to be super-safe and not take the slightest risk).

Yesterday President Obama visited a Solyndra solar panel factory in Fremont, California that — with help from the stimulus — was able to expand and create green collar jobs for the bay area community. Using the Gulf oil spill as a center point in his speech, the President took the chance to highlight the benefits of renewable energy, and to stress its positive impact on the Earth and our economy. He noted the increasing monetary and environmental costs of oil, its decreasing supply and its effect on global warming. Then he offered us the solution we love to talk about at Inhabitat — let's place an "emphasis on clean energy."
The President didn't sugar coat the issues; he spoke directly and with force: "we all know the price we pay as a country as a result of how we produce and use — and, yes, waste — energy today." The President added, "climate change poses a threat to our way of life — in fact, we're already beginning to see its profound and costly impact. And the spill in the Gulf, which is just heartbreaking, only underscores the necessity of seeking alternative fuel sources." He spoke on how the cost of fossil fuels is so much more than the cash you shell out filling up a tank of gas. The Solyndra factory was the perfect backdrop for this kind of statement. With its glossy technology it is a fitting example of where we should be headed.
"Fifteen years ago, the United States produced 40 percent of the world's solar panels," the President noted. "By 2008, our share had fallen to just over 5 percent. I don't know about you, but I'm not prepared to cede American leadership in this industry." With a statement like that we can be sure he's on our side, and the dolling out of stimulus dollars has shown he's putting his money where his mouth is. Last week we reported on his visit to another stimulus assisted factory in Ohio where he announced $800 million dollars to help repurpose old GM factories into usable space. With his visit to the Solyndra factory he's highlighting the cutting edge of renewable technology and helping to push our country further into the clean energy industry.

http://www.cooley.edu/rankings/nfl_analogy.htmlhttp://www.cooley.edu/rankings/overall2010.htmlSomeone really should congradulate Cooley; they went from #12 in their own rankings up to #2 beat only by Harvard.Take that Princton, Yale,etc,etc.......
Cooley's rankings do make nearly as much sense as U.S. News. I think it is awesome they publish their own. U.S. News is probably correct for the first 25 or so schools, but then it is based on quite literally nothing just like Cooley. Actually Cooley's makes more sense because you can at least measure the number of chairs in a school. That is at least something real about the school. I don't know how much it really helps, but it is nice to have space. U.S. News is some judge in Maine checking a scantron of excllent, good, very good, marginal to rank Williamette over Gonzaga two schools the judge has never been to or met anyone from. Or a judge in San Francisco checking those same boxes to distinguish Franklin Pierce from Suffolk. It makes no sense they do count bar passage as 2% of the ranking for U.S. News and as law student I think it is important to pass the bar, but that is just me.
And, if they asked my opinion of some school I know nothing about it Alabama or New Hampshire, I would probably just make a guess based on the previous U.S. News data.
