How to Make a Card on the Phone
The amount of information consumed by device users is growing. Many lack the internal memory of smartphones to store everything they need. Memory cards are in great demand, allowing you to increase the space on your smartphone. Often sd cards have a larger capacity than the internal memory.
Today we will tell you how to convert an SD card to the phone’s internal storage.
How to use an SD card as internal memory (Android 6 )
Set up SD card as internal storage on Android. This is a simple task. Please note that the SD card will be formatted during the process, so be sure to back up the data by copying it to your PC.
It is possible that the Adoptable Storage function is missing, even if the phone is running Android 6. The device manufacturer may have forcedly disabled this feature for security reasons.
However, there are command line methods that force the device to use the media as internal storage.
Here is the instruction for adapting the SD card as internal:
- Insert the SD card into your Android phone and wait until it is detected.
- Now open Settings.
- Scroll down and go to the “Storage” section (or Device Maintenance Memory).
- Click on the name of your SD card.
- Click on the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Click on Storage Settings.
- Select the option Format as internal.
Click on “Erase and format” if you want to format the SD card as internal memory.
- If Android detects that your SD card is slow, Android will report it. Click OK to continue.
- You can start data migration now or do it later.
- Click Finish to complete the storage adaptation for your SD card.
Features of using SD-cards in smartphones
First of all, it is worthwhile to understand that the SD card does not replace the internal storage fully, but only expands its volume. Also, do not forget that such drives, being a foreign device, will inevitably work more slowly than “native” internal drive. The performance of SD cards will directly depend on the performance of the smartphone, and if the speed with the drive is incompatible with the speed of the device, then your smartphone simply will not accept this drive.
There is also one nuance associated with the transfer of data from a computer to a smartphone and vice versa. The fact is that your PC will see only one memory module and only one that is installed as the main one, despite the fact that in the settings of the smartphone itself, the internal storage and the SD card are separated. Among other things, some programs and data will be installed on “native” there is a storage medium for the phone, even if the SD disk is specified as the main one. Thus, you can fully use only the built-in memory module. Adding an SD card will not add volume to the main module, but only serve as an alternative to it.
Installing an SD card as the main memory of the device
To install the SD card as the main storage device, after installing and checking the compatibility of the media with your smartphone, go to the tab “Storage” in settings. There you will see that the card you inserted is now used as a removable drive. Next, you need to directly select the SD card, tap on three points in the upper right corner of the screen and go to sub-item “Settings”. Here you can already set the media as the main storage, having previously formatted it.
Please note that the process of linking the card to the smartphone as the main storage is irreversible without data loss, because the device, for security reasons, transfers data to the drive using encryption codes unique to a particular device. Thus, you lose the opportunity to use this SD-card with any other smartphones and read data from it as long as it is attached to the smartphone as the main drive.
These instructions are most relevant for Android 6, however, on later versions of the OS, the differences in the algorithm for installing the card are insignificant. On Android 9 you have to find the section in the settings “Storage”, which stores information about internal and external media. Then, by tapping on the SD card you need and going to its page, click on the menu button in the upper right. In it you will find a link to the repository settings, where you can install this repository as the default device or format it.
What to do if Adoptable Storage is not available
There are a number of smartphones on which these functions may not be available. For example, owners of devices from LG, as well as users of the Samsung Galaxy S7-S9 and Galaxy Note series, may encounter difficulties when trying to use an SD card as the main storage of information on a smartphone. On these smartphone models, there is also a way to install and format external memory as internal using ADB Shell. Be careful, this method is suitable only for experienced users, since it can pose serious problems with your smartphone, since it involves manually configuring the operating system through the command line.
After connecting a smartphone with an SD card, performing the necessary steps to install software, debugging via USB and launching the command line using software, to install an external media as internal, you must enter the following:
Copy or write a disk identifier that looks like disk: NNN, NN
Sm partition disk: NNN, NN private
Upon completing these steps, the card must be formatted, close the ADB Shell application, and on the smartphone in the storage settings section, go to the SD card and call up the menu by clicking on the three dots at the top of the screen and transfer data to the media from the smartphone. Without this step, data will continue to be installed on the internal drive. After that, the SD card should begin to be perceived by your smartphone as an internal memory device.
There is another way through which you can change the priorities for installing data on the phone is to use Root access rights through applications like Root Essentials, however this method is quite risky and is strictly contraindicated if you own the device on an old version of Android.
Save downloaded files from the Internet to a memory card
If you are using a Samsung phone with Android 9,
- Go to the Internet application.
- Tap on the “Options” item.
- Go to the “Settings” section.
- Tap on “Websites and Downloads”.
- Specify “Location for saving files.”
- Tap on the item “Memory card”.
- Settings applied.
Some devices do not have these settings. This is due to the fact that
- You didn’t open the Internet application, but the Chrome browser or another third-party one.
- The memory card is not readable or not provided in this mobile device.
SD card as internal memory on Samsung Galaxy
As I said earlier, device manufacturers can control this feature. Samsung has long disabled available storage on its Android devices. Reason: the company cannot control the speed of the device with this modification.
For testing, I inserted an SD card into the Galaxy S8 to see if anything had changed in the new interface in Android One. It turns out that no.
In addition, Samsung has created a corresponding web page which confirms that Galaxy tablets and phones do not support Adoptable Storage, as this will “reduce the overall performance” of the device.
However, it is rumored that Samsung will sooner or later implement this functionality on their devices.
Does Adoptable Storage work in 2020 on Android 9 and 10?
The adaptive storage feature was introduced in Android Marshmallow and is designed for Android devices with a small internal space. In the yard is 2020, and internal storage today is not such a significant problem. Nevertheless, we will check some devices for the possibility of formatting the memory card for the internal format. The function will be tested on Android 9 and Android 10.
For Android 9, I used Motorola and was able to use the “Format As Internal” options for the microSD card.
I installed the same microSD card on Nokia 8.1 running Android 10, but there was no suitable storage function there.
I have other Android 10 devices, but none of them have a microSD card slot. This is a regular problem that I am facing. In any case, I will try to test Adoptable Storage on other Android 10 devices and update the results here.
The days when the phone was an expensive luxury have long gone. Now, most of us have more than one phone.
A classic example of this situation is one phone for friends and family, another worker.
One just has to admit that wearing two phones is a little tiring (although this was not a burden before, but times are changing).
However, you can instead enable and use the second SIM card (of course, if the phone has a second slot).
Simply put, it allows you to use two phone numbers using one mobile phone. This can be done on Samsung, Lenovo, Meizu and everyone else.
Phones with 2 integrated SIM card slots
Almost all the latest models of mobile phones have a dual SIM function as a standard.
Under the hinged lid you can see two slots in which SIM cards are placed, and we can safely use both.
At the moment, many devices allow you to use both numbers simultaneously without switching from one to the other.
Here I will show how to enable the second SIM card on the Samsung Android 6.0.1, only at the beginning I recommend that you familiarize yourself with this entry. Otherwise you may not be able to enable both.
There we are talking about the fact that on many phones active at any given time, there can only be one of the cards.
Then, depending on the model of phone you are using, you may need to switch between them.
At the same time, it is still necessary to restart it in old phones if you want to enable the second SIM card. Newer ones allow you to select from the menu of the card and activate it “on the fly”, without rebooting.
How to enable the second SIM card slot on Samsung
To enable a 2 SIM card in the Samsung (in most others), go to the settings and click “SIM Manager”.
Then select Active Mode.
Next, specify the numbers for sim1 and sim2 to which the call will be forwarded.
Only this should not always be done. Therefore, I have recommended that you familiarize yourself with devices that have 2 SIM card slots.
It all depends on the built-in radio modules. Perhaps your phone has two independent ones, then you can do without forwarding.
Thank you for the attention. Success, but something doesn’t work, drop a line in the comments. We will solve the problem together.
Hello, when performing an active reception on 2 SIM cards on Samsung 3J, about 3 SIM wrote a failure when forwarding. Problem in sim card?
How to activate a spare phone number
Not all phones support the simultaneous activation of two SIM cards at once. Details here.
Galaxy a5 does not turn on the second SIM card
My active mode does not turn on
If the phone has 2 SIM cards, then not all of them can turn on the active mode on both.
My active mode does not turn on
Does not turn on on the second card, but the first one works?
My Samsung j2 prime bought a new one; everything was fine; two SIM cards worked and at some point it disappeared altogether from the settings of the “SIM card manager” service
What to do.
I did as you wrote a reset on Samsung galaxy j2 prime; it didn’t help; the phone didn’t show the SIM card manager
A similar problem. He worked for about a year with two SIM cards, then the SIM card manager disappeared from the menu altogether. Updated regularly. Reset failed. I rearrange the SIM card in slot2 works. Rearranging in slot1 works. That is, it is not a matter of hardware.
This may be a firmware glitch (you need to upgrade). You can try installing the SIM card manager from the play market.
I accidentally disconnected one SIM card. Now how to enable it
“Settings”. “Connection”. “SIM card manager.” click on disabled. Move the slider opposite “Enabled” (described for android 7, in other versions it might be a little different).
Active mode does not open Th can do advise
I definitely did not understand the essence of the issue, but there are smartphones that although they have two SIM card slots, only one SIM can be active.
Disconnected one SIM card on samsung s8, now I can’t connect help
The essence of the issue is not entirely clear. If there is a “disable” button, then after clicking it should become “Enable”.
Hey. I turned off the second SIM card on Samsung j5, now there is no this switching slider. I can’t turn it on (If I swap SIM cards in places, then both work, but on the contrary, no. Will it already be so? Thanks

For over a hundred years, sheep farming has been one of the staple agricultural industries of New Zealand. Travel around our great nation from top to bottom and everywhere you'll look, you'll probably see a dozy, fuzzy white face watching you pass. The wool from these animals has proven a lucrative market for Kiwi farmers for generations, but have you ever seen how they get it off the sheep?
In Kaikoura, you can.
Shearing is caring
Though better known as the whale watching hot spot for tourists travelling the South Island, the township of Kaikoura (approximately 180 kilometres north of Christchurch) is also where you can check out real sheep shearing and meet some of the animals involved. You'll find this experience at The Point, which itself is around four kilometres outside of the town, towards the famous local seal colony.
This is a very kid-friendly show, which takes place every day at 1.30 p.m. and 4 p.m. Start by bottle-feeding an adorable lamb or two (if you visit between August and January), petting them and getting as many selfies as you can. You can also hand-feed 'Ram Man', The Point's friendly Drysdale ram. Don't forget to say hello to the dogs, too, who love attention and are very photogenic.
Then the shearing show starts for real. A local farmer will take you and your fellow onlookers through the process, teaching you about the many different wool types, sheep breeds and the various tools of the trade - both new and historic. Of course, you will also witness the shearing itself as a placid animal is given a bit of a hair cut! It might look uncomfortable, but a professional shearer can lop a coat of wool off in less than two minutes, without any harm or injury to the animal.
A journey to Kaikoura
Make your New Zealand holiday more relaxed by jumping on board a train trip with KiwiRail Scenic. Our Coastal Pacific route starts or ends in Christchurch, weaving along the east coast and stopping in Kaikoura. All of our carriages have been designed with NZ's scenery in mind, featuring wide, panoramic windows to let in all the spectacular sights. You won't have to worry about running down the battery on your phone or camera to take hundreds of pictures, either, as we have installed power points throughout the cabins.

50 Cent was pulled over by police in Harlem yesterday, but this traffic stop went much more smoothly than the one he had earlier this year.
A crowd gathered as police ticketed 50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson, for making a wrong turn. The cop, shown giving 50 a handshake, simply cited the rapper -- skipping handcuffs and an arrest like last time.
Back in September, 50 Cent was pulled over in a Lamborghini in New York City for making an unsafe lane change, and was also cited for driving with an expired license. Looks like 50 caught a break this time.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Thursday proposed to visiting US Vice President Joe Biden that Russia and the United States take the “historic step” of abolishing visas between the two countries.
“If the United States and Russia agree to implement a visa-free regime before Russia and the European Union, then this would be a historic step in our relations,” Putin told Biden.
“This would break all the old stereotypes between Russia and the United States.”
Efforts by Russia and the European Union to agree visa-free travel between the two sides have continued for years without making substantial progress.
This appears to be the first time Putin has suggested cancelling visas with Moscow’s main Cold War foe.

As we enter the Easter Octave, students at St Joseph’s Institution (SJI) can look back at their Lenten journey with pride and satisfaction at what they have accomplished.
In line with the United Nation’s sustainable goals to create a better world and to reduce plastic use and wastage, the school encouraged all students and staff to “fast” and abstain from the use of plastics. They had to bring their own takeaway containers and mugs.
Thus, this SJI Lenten initiative created an opportunity to promote a greater awareness of the environmental needs, using the Pope’s encyclical, Laudato Si’ as its inspiration.
The aim was to give the students an approach to Lent with a different perspective such as:
- Fast from unnecessary use of materials that are harmful to the environment.
- Give alms by recycling used products (that are still in good condition) to people who do not have the privilege of using them.
- To ground everything in prayer.
Jesuit Father Adrian Danker, Principal of SJI, expressed his joy at the effort that went into the Lenten initiative. “I’m glad that our students have put much thought into organising our Lenten initiative this year, which is focused on the care of our environment, our planet Mother Earth. Through this activity, we hope the students now realise the impact of their little daily actions or lifestyle choices could lead to much environmental harm in the long run, and for our future generations.”
He added because of COVID-19 outbreak,“It was challenging for many to do the various initiatives planned for. Yet, the unexpected lessons learnt about environmental protection as countries battled the coronavirus helped our students to appreciate the importance of their Lenten efforts to make the world greener and safer.”
The three main facets of the initiative were:
- Secondary students in Years 1-2 to collect old clothes and shoes, which were sent to a recycling company to be recycled and produced into new products.
- Secondary students in Years 3-4 to collect electronic wastes, as well as usable 3G phones, to be donated to needy families. The school worked with the Society of St Vincent de Paul (SSVP) Singapore and Montfort Care to achieve this.
- IB/JC students in Years 5-6 to design a planter box for plants, which would be cared by each class.
And, on every Friday during the Lent morning prayer, the students were invited to spend 20 minutes in silent adoration in front of the Blessed Sacrament before starting the day. On Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, reflections of the Station of the Cross were also conducted as part of the morning prayers. This initiative came from the SJI’s Chaplaincy Team and started on Ash Wednesday. It concluded at the end of Holy Week.
In previous years the projects involved providing provisions to low-income families of different religious background, where the school partnered with a mosque, Buddhist temple and Hindu temple.
Dinh Cao Tue, a student said the project allowed him and his fellow students to decrease the amount of waste dumped into the environment by having them recycled or donated for reuse. “Many students did their part either through contribution or coordination, and this has led to a fruitful collection of recyclable electronics and usable phones. Personally, the project has also provided me with a platform to become more outspoken and have more initiative, in order to drive the project forward.”
Another student, Kwong Jon, said the project was a fruitful experience, “not just because I was able to immerse myself more into the spirit of Lent by aiding others to donate to those in need and the environment at large, but also because I was able to lead a group of enthusiastic Year 5s (JC students) in this student-initiated project. We also learnt to deal with obstacles such as the COVID-19 situation which had worsened during our project; forcing us to think more thoroughly about a sound collection system.”

If it comes to fruition Olivo would provide the right handed power bat the Mets feel they need, he averages 21 HRs., 26 doubles and 72 RBIs.
While he would provide offense, from what I've read Olivo's defense was horrible in Seattle. I'll preface this by saying that while Mariner's bloggers were complaining about Olivo, his manager relied upon him heavily...
Catching the ball is the basic fundamental skill required of the position – it’s why they’re called “Catchers”. Miguel Olivo is absolutely terrible at this, and has been for a very long time. He’s the active leader in passed balls by a mile – he has 92, the next highest is Ramon Hernandez at 78 source USS Mariner

MLA Sabitha Indra Reddy to meet Rahul Gandhi
Hyderabad: Former Home Minister and Maheshwaram MLA Sabitha Indra Reddy have decided to continue with Congress party on Tuesday.
From the last three days, it was in the news that Sabitha Reddy will be quitting Congress and join the ruling TRS party.
After a series of meetings with TRS working president KT Rama Rao, MP K Kavitha, and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, there were speculations that Sabithamma and her son Karthik Reddy are going to join TRS.
As there was no response from MLA Sabitha Reddy on the news, everyone thought that they are going to resign Congress party.
It's said that the negotiations of T- Congress working president Revanth Reddy was successful with Sabitha Reddy. After the meeting, MLA has changed her decision to stay in the Congress party.
It's learned that Revanth Reddy has explained Sabitha about the situation faced by former TRS leader and Chevella MP Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, who came out of TRS party as he couldn't adjust within the party.
On Tuesday evening Revanth Reddy and Sabitha Indra Reddy will be meeting AICC president Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi.

As always, picking the year’s top stories is entirely a matter of opinion and perspective, so if you don’t see your personal favourite anecdote, development or incident listed below, start your own damn news site. Anyway, here’s our picks for the top North American gambling stories of 2015…
DAILY FANTASY SPORTS
Unquestionably, 2015’s top headline-grabber was the Icarus-like rise and fall of daily fantasy sports. After raising hundreds of millions in venture capital, DraftKings and FanDuel decided to spend nearly all of it inking an endless series of headline-grabbing marketing partnerships with pro sports leagues while buying up nearly all commercial time on US television during the month of September.
The almost comically inescapable exposure became a liability when a DraftKings staffer was accused of using insider data to win nearly $350k on FanDuel. Regardless of the validity of these accusations, the ensuing media brouhaha might have been nipped in the bud had the operators not attempted to write it off as much ado about nothing, with DraftKings CEO Jason Robins (pictured) earning the most criticism for his occasionally dismissive tone in media interviews.
Predictably, regulators, legislators and law enforcement agencies at both the state and federal level began to cast a critical eye on DFS. Operators left Nevada after the state said they needed gambling licenses but the most serious challenge came when the New York attorney general said DFS was illegal gambling and took the top two operators to court.
The operators lost that case, although they managed to win a temporary stay of the court order to exit the New York market. But Illinois’ attorney general dropped her own negative opinion two days before Christmas and other AGs are expected to follow suit in the new year.
The feds may also drop an indictment on DFS operators in the new year based on violations of the Illegal Gambling Business Act, which would be a whole ‘nuther ball of legal wax. To sum it up, DFS went from the hot chick at the bar to investors chewing their arm off rather than wake their dates up the following morning.
US REGULATORY STAGNATION
It has now been three freaking years since a US state legislature approved an intrastate online gambling bill, a regulatory rigor mortis that few would have predicted in December 2012 when New Jersey joined Nevada and Delaware on the list of forward-looking states.
In 2015, everyone’s hopes were pinned on California, and while there were some positive developments – a few tribes dropped their opposition to both PokerStars and the state’s racetracks participating in the online poker pool, and a committee approved a detail-free shell bill – the Pechanga-led coalition dug in its heels and, well, that was that.
Such is the power of the Pechanga opposition that the online poker media erupted in optimism when chairman Mark Macarro suggested the tribe would be willing to cut the tracks in for a slice of online poker revenue if they agreed to stay on the sidelines, But the tracks will settle for nothing less than full operator status, and, well, that was that.
Pennsylvania came closest to actually passing a bill in 2015, with a favorable committee vote on Rep. John Payne’s HB 649. Payne may actually succeed in pushing his bill over the top in 2016 but even if he accomplished this feat early in the year, crafting the regulations and testing the technology means the approved sites won’t open until 2017.
If online gambling proponents were frustrated in 2015, opponents weren’t having any more success, at least on the federal level. Federal rent-a-pols held two congressional hearings on Sheldon Adelson’s anti-online Restoration of America’s Wire Act (RAWA) and both meetings were sufficiently inept that the bill’s supporters were chiefly responsible for the bill’s failure to gain traction.
POKERSTARS GETS NEW JERSEY LICENSE
On Sept. 30, New Jersey’s Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) officially granted PokerStars an online gambling license. Stars’ owner Amaya Gaming has said Stars’ New Jersey site will launch sometime early in 2016, which will make it roughly five years since the site was forced to exit the US market in the wake of the April 15, 2011 Black Friday federal indictments.
Stars’ previous efforts at snaring a New Jersey nod had been hindered by the unresolved personal indictment against Stars’ then-owner Isai Scheinberg. That taint was deemed expunged after Amaya purchased the parent company of both Stars and Full Tilt in 2014 and reapplied for a New Jersey license. However, the DGE did force Amaya to shed ties with four execs from the Scheinberg era who were deemed to have legal dirt under their fingernails.
PAUL PHUA: FREE AT LAST
Wei Seng ‘Paul’ Phua beat the rap in 2015, successfully defending himself on charges of running an illegal online sports betting operation out of a trio of private villas at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
While Phua made headlines after FBI agents raided the villas in July 2014, Phua’s saga actually began in Macau the previous month. According to text messages the FBI obtained from a phone belonging to Phua’s son Darren, Paul was one of the ringleaders of a major online sports betting bust Macau officials took down in June.
After extricating himself from Macau police custody under still murky circumstances, Phua and his crew flew to Vegas, where they set up a new operation to capitalize on FIFA World Cup wagering. Their dealings were noticed by Caesars’ staff, who alerted in-house security, who in turn alerted the feds.
But in their rush to add a high-profile scalp to their lodge pole, the FBI took a few shortcuts around the US Constitution’s restrictions on unlawful search and seizure. Specifically, by cutting off the internet feed to the villas, then sending in undercover agents disguised as tech support and equipped with hidden body cameras to obtain the necessary evidence to procure a search warrant.
Charges were laid against a total of eight defendants, of which six – including Darren Phua – eventually reached plea deals with prosecutors that allowed them to return to their native lands in exchange for paying significant fines. Charges were dropped against a seventh defendant.
But Paul Phua stuck to his guns, in part because it was his $48m Gulfstream jet parked at the Vegas airport that the feds were hoping to seize via a conviction or plea deal. Convinced the FBI had illegally garnered their evidence, Phua’s attorneys managed to convince a series of judges to exclude the videotaped evidence, leaving government prosecutors with little more than moral outrage to pursue their case.
On June 1, prosecutors conceded the inevitable and a federal judge dismissed the charges. After spending 10 months under house arrest at the home of a Vegas acquaintance, Phua flew home on his Gulfstream that same day.
So kudos to Phua – a renowned nosebleed-stakes poker player – for calling the feds bluff, despite facing significant prison time if he lost. Kudos also to the US judicial system, for reminding law enforcement officials that there are limits to their powers.
SEALS WITH CRIMINAL RECORDS
Online poker site SealswithClubs made history in 2015 as the first Bitcoin-only online gambling operator to be prosecuted by US law enforcement agencies. The site abruptly went dark in February after operators claimed “several events” had left the site in “a perpetual state of jeopardy.” Bryan Micon, the site’s public face, immediately launched a new Antigua-based Bitcoin poker site, SwCPoker.eu.
A couple days later, Micon revealed that he’d been forced to relocate to Antigua because Nevada authorities had raided his home a few weeks prior to SealswithClubs’ shutdown. The authorities were acting on a warrant issued by the Nevada Gaming Commission, which took exception to Micon’s site dealing cards to Nevada residents without a state license.
The legal team that Micon hired included some of the attorneys who helped spring Paul Phua, but the case against Micon didn’t require any FBI subterfuge and the attorneys had no fourth amendment aces up their sleeves.
Realizing he held a poor hand, Micon eventually agreed to return to Nevada to face the music after working out a deal with prosecutors. In exchange for a probationary sentence, Micon paid a $25k fine and forfeited the computer gear seized during the raid on his home.
In hindsight, this episode was inevitable. SealswithClubs made no secret of accepting US customers, while Micon made no secret of his Nevada residency, proving once and for all that any online gambling operator who chooses to serve the US market without local legal blessing has no business maintaining a US mailing address.
NEW JERSEY SPORTS BETTING
New Jersey’s three-year fight to overturn the PASPA sports betting prohibition looked to have suffered yet another terminal setback in August, when the Third Circuit Court of Appeals refused to overturn a lower court’s ruling rejecting the state’s latest attempt to bring legal wagering to Atlantic City casinos and state racetracks.
Two months later, the state won its first victory at the Third Circuit level when a three-judge panel voted to rehear the state’s appeal. Ironically, Judge Julio Fuentes, who had sided with the majority in rejecting the state’s 2013 appeal, was on the opposite side in the August ruling. Fuentes believed the Court had rejected the state’s 2015 appeal for precisely the opposite reason it rejected the 2013 appeal, which Fuentes said had left the state with “no choice at all.”
A majority of the Third Circuit Court agreed that Fuentes’ logic was logical enough to warrant a rehearing before the full Court. The hearing is scheduled for February 2016, which will be four years and one month since Gov. Chris Christie signed the state’s original sports betting legislation. Whatever the result, the state deserves serous props for refusing to let the issue die and fighting on behalf of all states not named Nevada.
CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT BANKRUPTCY
In January, casino operator Caesars Entertainment sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for its main unit, Caesars Entertainment Operating Co (CEOC). The move was telegraphed long in advance, following a series of strategic moves to load up CEOC with debt while transferring CEOC’s more profitable assets to other Caesars divisions.
Caesars had hoped the filing would allow for a quick restructuring plan for CEOC, but junior creditors rejected the plan’s offer of pennies on the dollar while senior creditors were to receive much sweeter deals. As the year progressed, junior creditors went on to win a series of court rulings that beat back Caesars’ efforts to shut them out of the bankruptcy process.
Caesars thought it had a trump card to play via their old friend Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), who has benefited enormously from Caesars campaign contributions over the years. In the dying days of 2015, Reid attempted to amend a Depression-era federal statute that would have allowed Caesars to conduct its restructuring without interference from the junior creditors. But Reid was forced to withdraw his amendment after other legislators expressed opposition.
Caesars has stated that if junior creditors’ lawsuits prove successful, the parent company will be dragged into the bankruptcy maelstrom. This wouldn’t prove a fatal blow to Caesars frontline operations, but it would prove a headache for Caesars’ hedge fund owners who’ve been trying to foist the cost of their poor decision making onto other investors.
Baha Mar, the Caribbean’s largest brick-and-mortar casino project, hit a brick wall in 2015 and its fate remains far from assured. Developer Sarkis Izmirlian had a dream of building a $3.5b tourist palace in the Bahamas but his dream collapsed after he fell out with his Chinese financial backers and his Chinese state-owned primary contractor.
The tragicomedy began late in 2014, when Izmirlian announced that Baha Mar’s grand opening in December would be delayed until March. That deadline was delayed until May, which came and went with no new date provided. Instead, the public blame game between Izmirlian and his Chinese partners ratcheted up dramatically and onlookers wondered where this was headed.
To bankruptcy court, as it turns out, as Izmirlian filed for Chapter 11 in June and filed a lawsuit against his contractor. Izmirlian then filed a restructuring plan that was notable more for its eagerness to screw the contractor than in breathing new life into the project.
In the end, the US courts decided to wash their hands of the mess and the Bahamian courts allowed the Chinese bank to foreclose on the property. Despite having birthed this project, Izmirlian was out the door and the search was on to find someone with both the means and the will to push this white elephant over the hump.
2015 saw the long-delayed but inevitable demise of online gambling site Lock Poker. After years of slow-paying/no-paying customers, Lock CEO Jennifer Larson finally decided the charade had run its course and the Lock sites went dark in April.
Lock rose to prominence following the Black Friday indictments, which chased the top-three US-facing online poker sties from the US market. Sites like Lock didn’t have to do much to take advantage of this void except market their asses off as an alternative for US players set adrift by the big three’s exit.
Sadly, players soon discovered that Lock Poker was like Hotel California, in that their money could check in, but it could never leave. Despite having never been indicted by US authorities, the site’s unwillingness to honor withdrawal requests made it a popular reference for US politicians on both sides of the online gambling legislative debate.
By the time Lock admitted the jig was up, the site had gone one full year without paying a dime to its customers. The same couldn’t be said for Larson, who is reportedly still living high on the hog at pricey properties she purchased in Italy with Lock player funds.
As early as 2010, this site warned players that Lock was “chronically underfinanced” and thus players who deposited on the site were taking a gamble on more than just their hole cards. We take no joy in having been right on this score, as the scope of Lock’s fraud left the entire online poker industry looking shady.

Compelling story; enjoyable battle system; beautiful battle graphics; solid music... there's very little not to like!
This review is for the Playstation 4 version of Revenant Saga. Purchasing the PS4 version entitles the buyer to the PS3 and Vita versions as well.
The PS3/PS4/Vita version does not have any in-game purchases. There is a “point shop” instead, where the player can spend points (earned by fighting regular battles) to buy potentially game-breaking items. I chose not to use this shop at all, and never found a need for it to finish the game. Some shop items could be useful for earning specific trophies.
Revenant Saga has three difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, and Hard. The difficulty can be changed anytime out of combat. Difficulty selection affects the rewards of battle, but does not affect the story in any way.
I played Revenant Saga entirely on Normal. On Normal, most enemies and bosses weren’t a significant threat, although random encounters with “giant” enemies threatened to utterly eradicate the party several times. Fortunately, fleeing from regular battles (even battles with giant enemies) has a 100% success rate, a very welcome feature that greatly relieved the toll of Revenant Saga’s longer dungeon crawls.
Revenant Saga’s story is quite dark, set in a world overrun with plague, monsters, and nearly-unkillable revenants – demons possessing into the living or dead bodies of humans. While some humans have been granted a divine power enabling them to kill revenants, humanity as a whole is under siege and on the brink of extinction.
The main hero of the story becomes a half-revenant very early on – possessed by a demon, but able to wield its power and slay the revenants that ordinary humans are helpless against. He eventually joins forces with other revenant-hunters who might be duty-bound to turn on him, if they knew his secret.
The story is heavily laden with anime and JRPG tropes; connoisseurs of either media will likely predict the vast majority of plot twists before they unfold (they range from “shockingly obvious” to “probably should have known that”). What makes the story effective is the tension between the four playable characters, and the above-average English localization. The party members each have their own secrets, conflicts, and cross-purpose motivations – their limitations make them feel more real, and human.
Revenant Saga’s turn-based battle system will appear quite familiar to players of the Grandia series. There are combat moves that will delay an enemy’s turn, just as in Grandia. The unique feature of Revenant Saga is that each character can transform into a more powerful avatar. Transforming does not take up a turn, powers up stats, and grants access to more powerful skills. But transformed characters cannot be healed, and if a transformed character’s HP reaches 0, then they cannot be revived for the rest of the fight.
Furthermore, the character’s “synchro” gauge gradually rises while the character is transformed. The higher the gauge, the more powerful the transformed character – but at high synchro percentages, a character may become uncontrollable! Characters can untransform without sacrificing their turn if they need to heal, and the synchro gauge can be reduced by guarding or using consumables.
In addition to the strategy options and trade-offs of the transformation system, Revenant Saga offers a fair variety of accessories. Weapons can be customized with different effects, or strengthened to do more damage. A bonus of the weapon system is that in-game gold is NEVER useless; excess gold can always be spent on more materials to further strengthen weapons.
The result is a surprisingly deep battle system with moderate customization, and gamers in search of a challenge can test the system to its limit in monster arenas. Furthermore, the 3D battle graphics are quite pleasant – the heroes look very good, and the spell effects are intimidating, even if the monsters are a little on the “blocky polygon” side. The music is also extremely catchy, especially the normal battle song and the striking music of the final and postgame dungeons.
Revenant Saga’s biggest weakness may be its sidequests. Most of them are very silly and feel out-of-place amid a revenant apocalypse. Only the hero interacts with all quest givers. The sidequests themselves are usually dull and not necessarily worth the reward.
Overall, Revenant Saga is a good value for $15 (its base PS4 price, and it can sometimes be purchased for less on sale). It’s a full-length game, taking roughly 30-40 hours to finish, especially if one plays through its postgame story or attempts to earn all the trophies.
I highly recommend Revenant Saga, for the total package of its strengths – story, gameplay, battle graphics, music, and optional challenges. I’m giving it maximum stars in all categories because its emotional engagement, its well-crafted battle system, and its sheer fun factor dramatically outweighed its weakness.
- The dark story is told well, and features compelling main characters
- Excellent battle system
- Good battle graphics and music
- PS3/PS4/Vita version has no in-game purchases
- Story is heavily predictable; some lighthearted sidequests seem bizarre amid a revenant apocalypse
- Battles can quickly become too easy by level grinding or "points shop" items
- Several PS3/PS4/Vita trophies require grinding or are otherwise annoying.
This was quite a fun rpg for me. It’s the 1st modern Kemco RPG I’ve played and was thoroughly pleased.
I found the story to be good enough with some charm and a bit of good humor as well. The combat changes to 3D gtaphics which is kinda cool however it doesn’t quite go with the 2D top down somewhat lackluster design.
The high points are the combat system, endgame, and overall content. I look forward to playing more Kemco RPG’s and love this site!
- Battle system
- Good length
- Enjoyable story
- Graphics are not the strongest
An updated twist on a classic feel.
This is my second review on this site (first was Alvastia Chronicles). I will mention the pros and cons, as well as what I got out of the game. I would like to point out that Revenant Saga was the third Kemco game I’ve played.
Enjoy a wonderful adventure-filled world with tons of collectibles, challenges and immersive game play. Revenant Saga, much like many other Kemco titles, has a lot to do in-game and post game. You will discover lots of treasure chests and rare enemies while battling your way through a beautifully constructed land. The in-battle graphics were mind blowing as I was not expecting that feature at all. The maid system is high functioning and gives you many goals with great rewards.
While in battle, you will have the option to use the “Transform” feature to utilize specific abilities that are restricted otherwise, and the “Burst” feature that kicks in once in a while between commands to punish your foes as it also makes for high combo counts and damage. The skill setup is pretty good and gives each character a decent variety of commands- assisting your rise to victory. I found that although the game would lag and/or freeze here and there, accepting the issue was worth it as the game throws you all kinds of ways to keep you interested.
Often, you will come across many challenges and really tough enemies that punish you will a salvo of powerful abilities. I highly recommend you do some early game level grinding with the assistance of the “Shop” menu.
Revenant Saga is considered a mildly-lengthy game to many of the later generation of gamers. If you wish to collect everything, expect to spend a little over 40 hours to gain 100% completion.
The game’s exploration can be fun yet tedious at times, having to travel back and forth during Side Quests and Story Quests- which is just what you expect out of an RPG. The dungeons can keep you guessing since many of them have a ton of different paths to search.
Overall, I would say that Revenant Saga is a very good game, and I highly recommend it for sure! Be sure to purchase the add-on content for more relaxed game play.
If you’re looking for a challenge, then Revenant Saga is for you!
I would like to thank Kemco for all they have done to bring us the vast collection of amazing RPGs.
- Tons of locations to explore with many resources.
- The combat system is beautiful. The skills and combos are brilliant!
- Many treasure chests to discover with tons of great items to collect.
- The characters are unique and compelling.
- The Maid association has some hefty challenges with much to offer.
- The game lags a lot during battle and will sometimes freeze...
- Some dungeons are a little too long and often lead you to a dead end- without rewards often.
- The harder battles can be really tough since you cannot revive a dead transformed character, causing you to restart the battle over and over.

Former President Clinton Supports Legalizing Gay Marriage in NY
Albany, NY – Former president Bill Clinton says he's in favor of legalizing gay marriage in New York. The issue has the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo, who said this week he expects lawmakers to pass a bill before the end of session in June. More from WAMC's Dave Lucas...
Clinton, who has previously supported legalization, issued the statement Thursday through the advocacy group human rights campaign. He said New York must welcome marriage equality in the 21st century.
The group says it's grateful to Clinton for adding his voice to the majority of New Yorkers who support gay marriage.
The legalization drive suffered a surprising 2009 defeat in the state senate. It fell eight votes short of passage in the 62-seat chamber after strong support in the assembly.
New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Iowa and Massachusetts, and the District of Columbia have approved gay marriage.

Applications: CK UV kits are ideal for internal installation in any HVAC system in commercial, industrial, health care and institutional buildings. The UV systems are an excellent choice for mounting close to the coil and drain pan areas to continuously disinfect them with germicidal UV and inhibit the growth of mold and mildew in these areas. At the same time the UV lights can be sized for air stream disinfection as well.
BMS option: The addition of one or more lamp monitoring boards to a CK enclosure allows remote monitoring of all lamps by external systems - such as a building management system - so CK system status is available without anyone having to go inside the AHU.
CK germicidal UV Systems Features:
CK UV system installation benefits:
UV LAMPS: CK Series UVC lamps are high-output (800mA), T5 tube diameter, and constructed from hard glass tubing for superior UV transmittance do not produce any Ozone. The lamps shall retain, at minimum, 80% of initial output for 17,000 hours of use. They are sealed for moisture protection with a water-tight connection. Electrodes are designed to maximize plasma convection and stability for superior lamp performance. Lamps are rated to produce 11.7µW/cm² per linear inch of lamp arc length at 1m in airstreams of 400FPM velocities at temperatures of 45º F.

Farm bill statement shows complete disgust
A statement about Congress being unable to pass a new five-year farm bill by the National Corn Growers Association president puts the disgust of nearly everyone involved in agriculture in concise no-holds-barred terms.
National Corn Growers Association President Pam Johnson said, “America’s farmers have clearly made known the importance and need of a new farm bill in 2012. Once again Congress’ failure to act pushes agriculture aside hampering farmers’ ability to make sound business decisions for the next five years. The National Corn Growers Association is tired of the endless excuses and lack of accountability. The system is clearly broken.
“We hope the 113th Congress proves to be more fruitful and that the leaders in Congress can place petty partisanship aside to create a bill that benefits all of America.”

Mylo was Blue was orginally homed via ourselves at 5 months old. Sadly he has had to come back as he proved to much for the 3 year old whippet girl he was living with. Although when smaller she taught him to play quite roughly now he is older and getting better at the games she could not cope!
Mylo is a typical young boy and would be best in a home with an older female dog who liked to play BUT had a slightly bossy persona and would not think twice about putting him into his place when needs be and she has had enough.
Mylo is great around the house apart from when he decides its playtime and does need lots of excercise aswell as mental stimulation. He is fabulous on the lead, great out and about on walks with all dogs he meets and good off the lead with good recall. He is housetrained and crate trained when left for short periods of time BUT is a young dog and will have accidents whilst settling in. Mylo travels well and is great with children, he can be a little pushy and nippy though if children are excitable so needs a home with slightly older dog savy children.
Mylo is currently in foster in Stoke on Trent with 5 other dogs 3 male and 2 female and the girls are already putting him firmly in his place. He is also fostering alongside cats and will attempt to chase them when they run but with a home experienced with whippets and cats and cats that stand their ground he would learn to co exist with them.
Do not be fooled into thinking Mylo is just going to be an easy sweet natured dog, he is lovely and capable of being well behaved but he does need experienced owners with the time to put into his excercise requirements and keeping him mentally occupied. He is so loving and has so much to give and deserves a home that can cater to his needs!
Mylo is vaccinated de flead de wormed microchipped and has been castrated.
If you are interested in offering Mylo a home in the first instance please fill out the pre adoption questionnaire below...

I was in town for a family celebration and stayed two nights here. Now I want to go back! I stayed in 405 on the upper floor in one of the last buildings. The room was huge, but comfortable. Unfortunately it was storming like crazy, so I could not take advantage of all the outdoor areas. I think the view from the balcony was great. But the room alone is a reason to return. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was awesome. The room was a bit cold when I arrived and took a while to warm up, but I got past that.
The complimentary chocolates were a great touch along with the bathrobes.

In dry needling we use very fine needles which are inserted into specific soft tissue to relieve tightness and pain. This treatment works on the sympathetic nervous system to reduce muscle tension and release endorphins (the body’s natural pain relievers). It can be used to treat pain all over the body especially neck tightness, lumbar pain and buttock pain. Dry needling also assists with the release of muscles without the residual pain sometimes left following deep tissue massage.
”The evidence base for acupuncture or dry needling in various areas of physiotherapy, has increased substantially over the past decade. In particular, research has grown to provide evidence-based support in the treatment of acute and chronic back pain, chronic neck pain, tension type and migraine headaches, pelvic girdle pain, knee osteoarthritis, lateral elbow pain and shoulder conditions.” (Australian Physiotherapy Association http://www.physiotherapy.asn.au/). All of our physiotherapists are trained in dry needling and there is no additional cost for this treatment.

Intelligentsia Cup 2018: The Photographs (Part I)
This is the second entry in our multi-part coverage of the Intelligentsia Cup race series in Chicago, Illinois. For the introduction to this coverage check out this journal entry. Stay tuned to the journal for the second half of our image galleries later this week and a full retelling of our experiences racing Intelligentsia Cup from the perspective of Seb and Cullen (#feelings) in the coming weeks.
Returning from Intelligentsia Cup and going through my hard drive I quickly reached two conclusions. First: I may have taken a few too many photographs over the course of ten days of racing in the Windy City. In fact I brought home more than three thousand images which I cut down to just over six hundred selects that we'll share on the Journal in two parts - this is the first half of the week extending from Friday's Beverly Hills Cycling Classic and concluding with the leg-breaker climb at the West Dundee River Challenge (aka "RIP anyone who is not a climber"). Stay tuned for Part II on the TBD Journal shortly.
My second and perhaps more meaningful realization was that for our group of teammates and friends the Intelligentsia Cup experience was at its core a weird, exciting, and exhausting family road-trip. Alongside teammates and a few friends we traveled halfway across the country, stayed in somewhat questionable lodging and spent each day getting to play professional bike racer with and against some of the toughest competition in the country. There were nights where we perhaps had a few too many drinks and others where we got on each others nerves with minor annoyances, but that is to be expected while living in close quarters on a family road trip (never-mind the fatigue of racing day in and day out). Against that backdrop these images form a family album of sorts, capturing memories on and off the bike that are far too numerous to re-tell in text form. Some of these images will only make sense to those we shared the journey with but I added a bit of text about each day of racing for context.
Given the nature of our schedule at Intelligentsia Cup and the fact that I was both racing and shooting these photographs are generally focused on those races in most immediate proximity to our own fields - apologies to those who raced early in the morning while we were still at our AirBNB stumbling out of bed and making coffee. Our fellow racers are welcome to share these images on their personal social media feeds with credit to @ToBeDetermined.cc - if you're up for it give us a follow while you're at it.
And just to say it once again - we're indebted to all of the staff and volunteers that helped make the most recent edition of Intelligentsia Cup possible. It is a unique event and we were excited to once again experience it. Stay tuned for more on Intelligentsia Cup shortly.
Beverly Hills Cycling Classic
Coming out of the car after the thirteen hour drive from New York City there were a few things on my mind. If I am honest none of them involved racing bikes in the rain at the Beverly Hills Cycling Classic, especially after a sleepless night at a hotel in Central Ohio. Beverly featured a great looking course with an even better looking expo setup at the finish line but my mind and body just weren't in the place to race in the weather conditions in store for us and with nine days of racing yet to come I was pretty okay with that fact. So Chris and I bailed early to get checked into our suburban Chicago AirBNB and do some openers while watching Netflix. As a result our Beverly Hills Cycling Classic photo gallery is definitely abbreviated but there is a more complete gallery over on the Intelligentsia Cup website for those interested. Also, while you're at it this video from Carlo Quicho captures some of the spice of the first day of racing.
Lake Bluff Criterium and Block Party
As we wrote about in our Intelligentsia Cup Race Guide the Lake Bluff Criterium and Block Party is one of our favorite days at Intelligentsia Cup. The course is a blast to race, Lake Bluff's downtown has great food and drink options, and the community comes out to support the event en masse. It is an intoxicating combination that served as our first full day of racing at Intelligentsia Cup following a rainy Friday evening at Beverly.
Unfortunately results at Lake Bluff were hard to come by thanks to a whole variety of factors (excuses are easy to make and very boring to write about) but we still had a great day of racing and met some new friends from the Midwest that helped us cheer on our teammates later in the day. Topped off with a few cold beers and a feast of carry-out deep dish pizza at our AirBNB it was easy to move past a tough day results wise and focus on the races still to come at Intelligentsia Cup.
Dennis Jurs Memorial Road Race (Elgin)
For some of the fields Sunday's Dennis Jurs Memorial Road Race may have been the toughest racing of the entire Intelligentsia Cup Series. Early in the week legs were still fresh, there were a plethora of state championships on the line and with the longer road race duration implemented this year the corners and climbs were guaranteed to sap the energy out of your legs over dozens of miles of racing.
This was certainly true for the M3 field that seemed to maintain a criterium-like pace for the majority of the fifty miles of racing. The squad suffered mightily as a result but Seb and Steve held tough for pack finishes in their race while in the M2/3 Tom scored a 12th place finish. Unfortunately we also lost CityMD Women's Racing's Lisa Vandivort for the rest of the week after a rider crashed in front of her and Lisa broke her wrist in the resulting tumble (which also cut my day of shooting the race short as we rushed to urgent care). Fortunately on the opposite end of the spectrum Friend of the Team™ Taylor Kuyk-White scored a very exciting podium in her W2/3 field to bring a bit of balance to the day.
Autobahn Country Club Road Race (Joliet)
Monday's Autobahn Country Club Road Race was a new addition to the Intelligentsia Cup, replacing the Willow Springs Road Race that made Chris internet famous for his post-race crash sadness. As a venue it was actually a pretty chill setup with nice bathrooms a somewhat conveniently located concession stand and a nice little viewing platform where we hit from the sun and got an overhead look at the finishing straight. Racing on the flat and wide-open auto course limited the opportunities for aggressive breakaway riding but Steve rolled the dice and put in a big late race solo move before it came back together for a field sprint where Clay delivered the team its first podium of the series. Later in the day Matt survived a big pile-up in the M2 race to add a top ten to the team's tally on the day. It may not have been the most dynamic day of racing but we walked away from the Autobahn Country Club Road Race with our first momentum of the week.
South Chicago Kermesse Road Race
South Chicago was a tough day at the races for the squad. Not due to the course - which with wide open roads and a pancake flat elevation profile made for pretty negative racing strategies, especially after two days of long road races on Sunday and Monday. And not due to results as Clay and Chris scored a pair of top 10's in the M3 while Cullen brought home 4th in his race. Rather it was a tough day because Sweet Baby Seb (aka SBS) hit the deck at thirty-five miles per hour after his tire exploded during a mid-race prime. The resulting road rash, covering a frightening amount of his skin, ended his racing at Intelligentsia Cup and certainly added a bit of disappointment to an otherwise pretty successful day of bike racing on the edge of Lake Michigan. We'll definitely be back to South Chicago as it is a fun little bike race, but for the record we do still wish South Chicago was a criterium duration event.
West Dundee River Challenge
Finally after three largely successful days of road racing we were excited to get back to the short, high intensity racing of criteriums that we know and love. However Wednesday's West Dundee River Challenge brought a different sort of challenge with the infamous leg-breaker climb that the event is known for. In fact that climb is infamous enough that the squad's fatbois (myself and CPJ) decided to sit the day out well in advance. Instead we spent the day refueling with cinnamon rolls and beer (a weird combination) while cheering on pain-faced teammates from the shade alongside the climb.
As expected it was a brutal day of racing but Tom made the break in the M2/3 field and despite rolling his tire on the last lap managed to stay away from the peloton to finish sixth. Meanwhile earlier in the day Cullen and Steve scored a pair of twelfth place finishes in their respective fields. Unfortunately Friend of the Team™ Mark Steffen hit the deck in his race (he escaped with minor road rash) but overall it was a pretty excellent day at the races topped off by a massive feast of BBQ at Corey's parents house just south of Chicago. Good friends, good food and hard racing is kind of the epitome of why we drive halfway across the country to Intelligentsia Cup
That's it for Part I of our Intelligentsia Cup image galleries. Stay tuned to the Journal as we have much more coming out in the next few weeks as road season winds down and we start to turn our eye to cyclocross.
A few weeks back Corey headed to the midwest for one of the country’s best race series - Intelligentsia Cup - and scored a string of impressive results along the way.

Dark Places (2015) Movie Review: I still remember how “Gone Girl” began. The very first background score to chasing Amy. Everything just made sense. I recently saw “Dark Places” on Netflix. The first few things that come to my mind while I sit down to write about it would be – A pixie-haired Charlize Theron in a green-colored cap & leather jacket and a brilliant background score that wasn’t used judiciously. When it should be about how interesting and ballistic the plot was.
“Dark Places” is the second movie adaptation of a novel by Gillian Flynn. The first one was obviously the brilliant “Gone Girl” by David Fincher. Gilles Paquet-Brenner is no David Fincher. It’s made evident from the very first shot and goes on being the same until the last one. The biggest mistake a director could make with a cast and source material like that would be dumbing it down to a bland, unengaging murder mystery that looks like an episode of a show that has got its ratings all messed up.
Similar to Dark Places Netflix – KAVALUDAARI  REVIEW – A LAYERED MURDER MYSTERY FROM THE WRITER OF ANDHADHUN
When you watch the film, you see a series of interesting themes; for instance: there’s this whole sweep of satanism that happened back in the day. There are freaky murder groups and father issues, there’s poverty, and there are themes of forgiveness & deceit going on too. But instead of leading you along those lines of a cleverly driven narrative, Gilles takes you through a dramatic ill-pitched screenplay that basically just checks off all the themes that are to be told. The film feels like a 90s direct-to-DVD release where someone picked up a murder novel at the garage sale and decided that he could do wonders with it.
“Dark Places” is about Libby Day (Charlize Theron). As a child, she witnessed the murder of her whole family, which she believes was committed by her brother. Ever since ‘that’ night, she has been living on the fame and donations of the people who have heard about the crime and want to help her out. But her life takes a turn when the donations become scarce. In-comes Lyle Wirth (Nicholas Hoult) & The Kill Club, who take her from being an uninterested middle-aged woman to being a detective of sorts. She starts digging into her past, and every single turn takes her to a new discovery.
While the plot of “Dark Places” might sound interesting, the execution is all haywire. Never in the film you feel the actual excitement of watching a whodunit tale. Also, while it manages to have your attention, it leaves you with a “Wait? That’s it?” kind of a deal. I haven’t read the book. But I’m sure it wasn’t meant to be made the way it was. I don’t know who I should blame more, the source material, the director, or the lackluster writing in the film.
I am really angry with the film because things like ‘The Kill Club’ are so interesting to look at that a whole new movie could be built around themselves, and yet, Gilles Paquet-Brenner makes the huge mistake of letting things just fall into his lap on their own. Everything looks so tiresome that it’s off-putting at times. I am not canceling the film out completely because there are some really interesting things in there but a film buff demands more than just mere gimmicks.
Also, Read – ARISHADVARGA  ‘LIFF’ REVIEW: A WHODUNIT THRILLER ABOUT ITS CHARACTERS MORE THAN THE MYSTERY
Charlize Theron does her best, and so does Christina Hendricks, but everyone else, including the amazing Tye Sheridan, has been under-used. They come and go off the screen through flashbacks and backtracks but never seem to make a mark. The fictional tale behind the Day family is morally ambiguous, and the themes surrounding them are deadly too. What they needed was a proper focus. While David Fincher’s “Gone Girl” did that with style where he picked up one main theme and let whatever else come to the surface on its own, Gilles takes a different approach by cramping everything he could into a two-hour long film which totally messes it up. It becomes a standard procedure of uncovering the core mystery rather than being a sequential meditation of subjects discussed.
I wouldn’t recommend “Dark Places.” However, the book might not have the same problem that the film did. Choose wisely.
