TAY Review
Arkham Manor is a standalone Batman graphic novel told in 6 issues. It tells the tale of Gotham after the events that transpire in Batman: Eternal. Arkham Asylum has been destroyed and the inmates are being housed in the Gotham Stadium for the time being. A motion is made to house them in the old Wayne Manor, and Bruce Wayne doesn't stand in the way as he believes it's the right thing to do. Plus with all the baddies in one place, Bats doesn't have to go far when things start to go wrong, and of course - go wrong they do. Almost immediately inmates are killed off and Batman, being the world's greatest detective, goes undercover as an inmate to uncover the truth about who has been murdering the residents of Arkham Manor.
Along the way we see many familiar faces, Mr. Freeze, Killer Croc, Scarecrow, Clayface, Mad Hatter and Joker all make appearances as well as other some other villains. What's interesting is that Arkham Manor also introduces us to some fresh faces. Seth Wickham and The Spider are two new characters who, I hope, will be used further down the road.
"World's Greatest Detective," version of Batman. This isn't Batman facing off against an intergalactic threat or Superman like in Injustice. This is Batman facing off against a killer that hides within the walls of Arkham Manor. In order to catch the killer he assumes the role of Shaw - a deceased military vet. He is thrown into Arkham and must catch the killer using his intellect and knowledge of the house. He doesn't have his money, his gadgets, or his batmobile.
Mr Freeze steals the show. I've always loved Mr. Freeze. He's my favorite batman villain. I don't know why exactly, maybe because he seems more a victim of circumstance than an actual villain. Maybe it's because we're both scientists. Luckily for me, he is the star of Arkham Manor in my eyes. Every panel he's in the story is better for.
The story is well paced and proceeds nicely from issue to issue. There could have been 12 issues of just Bruce Wayne battling for control of his house, but the whole issue is resolved organically and rapidly and most importantly, in a way that makes sense. This means that we are able to start getting to the meat of the story quickly, and the pace doesn't let up. Duggan does an admirable job of juggling several different characters while ensuring motivations are established without the story suffering for it.
Art is clean and well drawn. This is a bit of a departure of the Batman of late. Here he is more, scruffy. More rough around the edges. This is a bit of a love it or hate it style but I felt it worked really well for the story.
No Joker. That's not to say that Joker is not here. More, that Joker doesn't play a central role in the overarching plot. For me that's a win, I'd almost have preferred that he not show up at all, but then his inclusion is interesting - in one scene he actually saves the life of another inmate.
Loose ends. Just why was Jeremiah Arkham acting so strangely? Where did Joker come from and why was he there beyond the obvious repercussions of his visit? Who is the Spider? What became of the escaped inmates? None of these questions are answered over the course of six issues, and while some are to be expected, I wish there hadn't been quite so many.
The Premise. All right, while I appreciate that this was dealt with swiftly, I'm not entire sold on the idea that Batman would really lease out his house to the city to house the inmates. At the end it seems he is going to allow it to carry on when obviously....it hasn't been such a great idea so far.
The Villain. I liked Spider as a villain, he was new and interesting, rather than having an unmasking of...gasp! Joker! He brought a new angle but unfortunately he has literally no motivation here. He has no backstory, no fingerprints, and in one of the final scenes shows that he's not likely to divulge much information to the police/Batman.
Seth Wickham. This was kind of a cool origin story for Seth. I'm hoping that they use him further or that he gets some sort of ability out of this whole ordeal otherwise he was kind of a wasted character.
Chins. While overall I liked the art, sometimes there were some weird chins going on.
Batman Arkham Manor is a highly entertaining installment in the Batman franchise. It's good to see him back to fighting crime using his intellect vs......more recent iterations of him ("DO YOU BLEED?") It was also fun to see Arkham Manor from the perspective of an inmate, usually we see the villains on the outside of Arkham causing mayhem so to see them engaged in group therapy sessions was a nice twist.

TAY Movie night: Fateful Findings


(L to R) Akida, Kekenos, Raela and Rouxian, the four daughters of Rebiya Kadeer (pictured below), Feb. 22, 2002.
"In China, bribery is one of the greatest things you can do. If you have money, there is nothing you can't do. You can be as powerful as anybody else. At the time that my mother was carrying the baby, 45,000-50,000 yuan was the equivalent of U.S. $50,000 eight years ago in America. You could live your life like a king or queen."
"My husband and I couldn't agree and my parents couldn't agree. So I had to go to the doctor and have another abortion. I kept my job. I think that all Uyghur women are the same way. My ex-father-in-law worked in state security. He's one of the most important people in the Xinjiang government. If they can do this to me, imagine what they do to other people? I went to my father-in-law and I said 'This is my situation and I need your help' but he had the exact same answer as the government did.
"'You should have been careful. Have an abortion—there is nothing I can say.'"
"I was pretty shocked. When I spoke to my mom, she had a different opinion. She said 'why not? Keep the baby. Pay the fine so they will keep their mouths shut.' But they had already been after me for a long time. They didn't want another Rebiya Kadeer situation to occur again."

No-nonsense action horror that may do for alligators and flooded houses what Jaws did for the ocean.
Written by: Christian Stirling | July 15, 2019
Distributor: Paramount Pictures
Metadata by TMDb
Giant killer alligators? A Category 5 hurricane? People trapped in a flooding house while making stupid decisions? I'm there!! This basic premise makes Crawl a simple but very entertaining ride that – despite its major plot holes – makes for a surprisingly effective horror/action movie. Not for the squeamish or easily startled, Crawl delivers a great blend of tense, animalistic violence in a theater-perfect runtime of 87 minutes. I really enjoyed it. Just for the record though: alligators are scary, but Australian crocodiles are even bigger and scarier. Just saying if they make a sequel.
Directed by Alexandre Aja (Horns, The Hills Have Eyes), Crawl is set in Florida as a monster Category 5 hurricane is about to hit. Aspiring swimmer Haley Kelle (Kaya Scodelario) receives a phone call from her sister Beth (Morfydd Clark), letting her know of the approaching storm – and that she hasn't been able to reach their father Dave (Barry Pepper). Despite the increasingly dangerous weather conditions, Haley heads out to find out why her dad isn't answering his phone.
After ignoring the safety instructions of local law enforcement (of course), Haley eventually reaches her old home where she finds her father unconscious underneath the building in the crawlspace. It's not long before she discovers the cause of her father's injuries; giant killer alligators are stalking them! Worse still, time is running out as the water levels are rising as the storm worsens. They must find a way out before they drown – or before they become a hungry reptile's next meal. Neither choice is optimal.
There's not much to this movie and despite some of the obvious plot holes, like characters being able to utilize severely damaged limbs or the alligators delivering effective kills to support characters while being ridiculously ineffective at trying to kill the lead characters, the acting is surprisingly good for what I'd had figured was just another killer creature film.
Kaya Scodelario gives a strong performance as a young determined woman who knows how to push herself to survive – even if some of her decisions are questionable. The movie is reliant on her carrying the majority of the film and she does a fantastic job of being a leader while also being vulnerable. It's a very physical and emotional role that Scodelario has no trouble in delivering the goods.
Barry Pepper also gives a great performance as a father whose lost everything. His wife has left him. His daughters have grown up and have their own lives. All he has are memories to look back on and reflect on his mistakes. He's a survivor, like his daughter, and Pepper's gritty yet emotional performance compliments perfectly with Scodelario. Despite the ridiculous situation they're in, there are some lovely father and daughter moments between Pepper and Scodelario where they connect as they look back on what went wrong with their lives.
But not for too long! The endless barrage of giant killer alligators don't have time for father and daughter moments while their bellies are hungry for human flesh.
Alexandre Aja delivers a very tense and violent movie on the backdrop of a natural disaster that works very well. It's perfectly timed at 87 minutes and manages to balance slow, tense scenes with fast, energetic violence at a perfect pace. Even though there's not much to the plot, Aja manages to fit in some amazing visuals with the catastrophic weather conditions, a lot of great looking CGI alligators and some meaningful character interaction between a father and daughter as they try to figure out how to get out alive. Sure, there's dumb plot holes to spare, but I'm choosing to ignore them because by the time the credits rolled I felt totally satisfied.
Crawl is no-nonsense action horror worth seeing on the big screen, and may do for flooded houses and alligators what Jaws did for the ocean. It's a visual spectacle against the forces of nature with our heroes surviving scores of giant killer alligators eating anybody in their way. Filled with many tense moments and some great action sequences (and brutal deaths), this is a perfect summer treat for moviegoers who like to see creatures do nasty things to people. This isn't the type of movie where people go to see realism, but be warned there are some pretty brutal moments that may be too much for those a bit squeamish – and for those who are naturally afraid of the water.

It can be for peace of mind, to heal a broken heart, or fill the empty spaces of the lonely. Whatever ever the reason, two things remain; 1. Prayer is necessary, and 2. Prayer is purposeful.

When a serious accident occurs and someone is injured, the driver has a responsibility to report it to the proper authorities in a timely manner. Under most circumstances, the police will automatically check the drivers of all vehicles involved for signs of intoxication. If a driver is found to be under the influence and as a result caused an accident, they will be charged for OUI.
In order to be charged with Operating Under the Influence or OUI in Maine, you need to either have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or more or the presence of drugs in your system. If either of these are true and you are accused of causing an accident that resulted in injury or death, you will face serious OUI penalties.
Under Maine law, criminal code §2411, these penalties cannot be suspended, which means if you are found guilty of OUI with injury, you will be sentenced to this jail time, fine and license suspension and you must serve them.
In the unfortunate situation that you are driving under the influence and cause an accident where a life is lost, you could face vehicular homicide charges.
Just like with OUI injuries, you must serve this sentence if you are found guilty of this crime. The law only states a minimum and maximum sentence, depending on the factors of your case; a judge ultimately will determine what sentence you will get if you are found guilty.
Maine no longer uses the terms felony or misdemeanor to categorize crimes. Instead, it uses a classification system based on 5 classes of crimes. Generally, Class A and B crimes are felonies. Class A charges are issued for a having multiple DUI convictions within a ten year period, along with a conviction for a drunk driving accident that caused a serious injury. There are differing degrees of an injury that can be sustained in an accident and the penalties for causing a more serious injury will be greater than the typical DUI accident. They can include between six months in jail and five years in prison, up to $5,000 in fines, a license suspension up to six years, installation of an interlock device which will further restrict the ability of an individual to drive if they are found to have alcohol in their system and a loss of the right to register a vehicle.
A felony charge will also be listed on the criminal record of the person that is convicted. This type of conviction can damage the life of a suspect in many ways. Educational institutions and businesses perform background checks before admitting or hiring individuals. Many times a felony conviction will be grounds for rejection without even giving you a chance to explain.
Being accused of a DUI is stressful enough, but if you are involved in a DUI accident where injuries have occurred, the consequences can be even greater. All instances involving an OUI charge need to be taken serious. There are, however, various circumstances that are considered with an even greater level of importance. When driving under the influence it can be challenging for a driver to correctly maneuver a car. In many cases this may lead to an accident. Not every accident is the result of drunk driving and sometimes those that are involved in one can be wrongly accused of being under the influence when the accident was simply a mistake.
Challenging the evidence is important since the findings of a field sobriety test, blood test or breath test can be inaccurate. A conviction for drinking and driving will come with varying consequences such as fines or license suspension. There are different degrees of a conviction that are dependent on the factors of each specific case. Those charges that include an injury to another individual, whether they were in your car, another car or not in a vehicle at all, can significantly increase the stakes in a case. If you are facing a DUI charge after a serious accident, you are going to want the best legal care available. The DUI injury lawyers have the experience to defend you against serious charges.

Hollywood detective Toby Peters is asleep on his floor when the trouble starts. The dentist who shares his office calls, wailing that his wife has left him. Toby is shocked that a woman as unpleasant as Mildred could attract a suitor. Even more surprising is the name of the alleged Lothario: Peter Lorre, the scaly-voiced, bug-eyed Hollywood villain.
Though he can't imagine why the dentist would want her back, Toby agrees to track down his missing wife. He finds Lorre in a greasy spoon near the Warner Brothers' lot, but the actor doesn't know a thing about missing Mildred. Her boyfriend turns out to be a Peter Lorre impersonator, and by the time Toby finds him, he's doing a passable imitation of a dead man. The bullet was meant for the real Lorre, who has just become Toby's client—whether he likes it or not.

Home News HTC expected to launch next One smartphone on March 1
HTC expected to launch next One smartphone on March 1
HTC could be launching the next iteration of the One M8 along with other devices as early as March 1.
According to The Verge, HTC has already sent out invitations for 2015's Mobile World Congress (MWC), which will take place in Barcelona, Spain. The invite, it says, has a starry sky, captioned with the phrase "utopia in progress" trailing with "Join us to see what's next." While there's no mention of the name of the smartphone, the website opines that the grandiose invite could mean that the Taiwanese company is planning on revealing its next flagship for 2015.
Last year's One M8 was a premium Android smartphone powered by a Snapdragon 801 quad-core CPU clocked at 2.5 GHz. It came with 2GB of RAM and ran Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box. It included some nifty gesture-based controls and an improved Sense 6 UI.
Check out our complete HTC One M8 review.
The next iteration, codenamed as One M9, is expected to feature premium design and specs just like it predecessor.
According to tipster @upleaks, HTC will ditch confusing M codenames this year onwards. It says that rather than the M9, the next flagship HTC phone will be known as 'Hima'.
20.7MP Main Camera 13MP or 4MP UltraPixel Front Camera 2840mAh Battery Android 5.0 Sense 7.0 Color: Gray, Silver, Gold, Gunmetal Gold
— Upleaks (@upleaksTR) December 22, 2014
In terms of the specifications, it is expected to pack a 1080p 5-inch display, an octa-core Snapdragon 810 SoC with 3GB of RAM, Cat6 LTE capabilities, a 20.7MP rear camera and the possibility of either a 13 megapixel or 4 ultrapixel front facing camera. Expect 16-, 32- and 64GB storage options. It also suggests a 2840mAh battery, though it seems too small to power the full HD display and octa-core processor.
HTC Hima Demension: 144.3 x 69.4 x 9.56 mm Snapdragon 810 2.0GHz Quad-core + 1.5GHz Quad-core 3GB RAM 5″ FHD Display
@upleaks also hints that there is a HTC Hima Ace Plus in the wings, which could include a 20MP rear camera, 3GB of RAM and a fingerprint scanner. Another tweet subtly implies that HTC could also unveil a wearable along with the new smartphones.
Hima, Hima, Hima, Wearable…
