Pet Semetary (1989) vs Pet Semetary (2019): Movie review showdown.
As I mentioned in my last post, my book review of Pet Semetary by Stephen King, my friends and I decided to make a little Stephen King book club. Every month or so, we would read one of his books and watch the screen adaptations because, yes, we are massive nerds and yes, we love horror. So we started with this one because a brand new adaptation just hit the big screens and it felt like fate. So we read the book and every one of us loved it, read my previous post for the full review. So far so good. Now, we were going to watch the two adaptations. One from 1989 starring Dale Midkiff and Star Trek Next generation's Denise Crosby, before venturing to the cinema to see the new release starring Jason Clarke, Amy Seimetz and the beloved John Lithgow. They are both based on the same book so they won't be that dissimilar, right? WRONG! The two films were worlds apart in both quality, performance and horror, so I thought I should write a review, comparing the two films to both the original book and each other. So here we have it, the ultimate showdown…who are you routing for?
Age before beauty, so let's start with the 1989 adaptation. I had seen this once as a child, many, many moons ago (I won't say how long because I don't want to reveal just how old I am) but truthfully I barely remembered it. Not the best sign I suppose, but at least it meant I was going into it with no preconceptions. I can forgive 80s horror movies for their terrible special effects because they give me nostalgic vibes and sometimes, the way the directors and creators have got around issues with budget and technological constraints can sometimes produce what is often scarier and more tense than the all out CGI we have today. What I cannot forgive is terrible acting. Every single actor in this movie, with the exception of Brad Greenquist who played the ill fated Pascow, was beyond wooden. Honestly, it was like they weren't even trying. The worst culprits were by far the main characters Louis Creed, played by Dale Midkiff and his wife Rachel, played by Denise Crosby. I'm not sure if they were just phoning it in for the pay cheque or they are honestly just terrible for the roles, but either way it was like watching shop mannequins fumble their way through.
Not a great start, right? But maybe, the script was good? Nope, not particularly. Look, I get that this is a big old book to squeeze into a ninety minute movie, so of course not everything will make it in there but what I have learned over the years is that you can practically throw the original book away as long as the movie captures the books vibe and atmosphere (see Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House for the perfect example of this) but unfortunately this adaptation captured neither. One of the biggest issues with this film may actually be that it stuck TOO CLOSELY to the original book, choosing to go down the same murderous, psycho toddler route. There are two major problems with this: 1) Anyone can overpower a toddler, even a supernatural one and 2) Toddler's aren't scary, they are in fact adorable and the one chosen to play Gage in this film, actor Miko Hughes, is particularly cute. No matter how much he attempts to scowl and growl, I find myself cooing and awing at every shot of his chubby cheeks and wide eyes. A scalpel has never been as sweet as when it is being held aloft by this child's chubby hand. The lesson here is, what works in a book doesn't necessarily translate well to screen. The movie's exposition is also ridiculously rushed so it feels like a poor adaptation rather than a movie in its own right. Lesson number two, if you can't fit it all in Lord of the Rings epic trilogy style, then learn to edit.
One of the other things that really bothered me was the set, specifically the forest beyond the deadfall. In the book, a dark, otherworldly, misty forest is described whereas this film gives us a very pleasant national park perfect for a Boy Scout's nature trail. It just all felt rather half assed to be honest. But it did get a few things right. As mentioned, the actor playing Pascow, Brad Greenquist, puts on a great performance as the warning spirit and despite the bad guy being the cutest sweetie pie ever, the bit where he slices clean through Judd's Achilles heel was painful to watch even with 1980s special effects. Overall though, this film fell flat and in my opinion is only really worth watching for nostalgia purposes.
So what of the new film? This film demonstrates in glorious HD how an adaptation should be done. First of all, the actors are great providing believable performances throughout. I'm a massive fan of Jason Clarke, particularly after his performance in the thoroughly recommended Winchester, and he does a great job of playing Louis perfectly depicting his grief. This movie was also smart enough to ditch the whole killer toddler thing instead having the Creed's older child Ellie die and be brought back. Whilst toddlers are adorable and cannot possibly be considered scary (with the possible exception of my daughter when she is hangry) older children can make creepy little villains…think Samara in The Ring, Children of the Corn or The Omen. The actress playing Ellie, Jete Laurence makes a very convincing little psychopath and provides that much needed horror to the movie. Whilst it isn't the scariest film I've ever seen, it's pretty well done, with great sets, convincing special effects (without going overboard with CGI as so many modern films tend to do) and great actors.
to the previous adaptation, with the truck driver who kills Ellie being distracted by a text from Sheena (the original truck driver is singing along to Sheena is a punk rocker by The Ramones), with Gage running to the road just as he does in the book and the original adaption as a red herring for Ellie's death and finally, with that Achilles heel moment mentioned above, except in this version Judd kicks the bed away with no psycho child to be found underneath only to be sliced and diced as he descends the stairs. This self referencing is something Stephen King does throughout his own books, with winks and nods to other stories and novels peppered throughout. This movie perfectly captured this on screen. In fact, at one point Ellie explains to Jud who Winston Churchill is and he exclaims he knows well who he is- the actor John Lithgow plays Churchill in Netflix's The Crown. Again, that little wink to the audience is exactly the type of thing King himself would do.
This adaptation completely strays from the book in some ways, some good, others not so good. In this adaptation, Louis tries to offload the now psychotic family cat Church by driving him into the middle of nowhere and abandoning him. Of course, he finds his way home and when the very happy and relieved Ellie runs to him, being struck down in the process, it only goes to increase Louis' feeling of guilt and fault at her death. If he hadn't tried to get rid of Church, perhaps this wouldn't have happened. I also love that, unlike the book, the cat is fully feral in the new adaptation. His issues as described in the book, his odd zombielike motions, his smell of earth and rot and the fact that he causes unease and general discomfort wherever he goes, is not necessarily easy to translate onto the big screen whereas a cat clawing and snarling works well. The ending is dramatically changed from the book and original movie and this is one I had a bit of a problem with. In this ending, Ellie kills Rachel and drags her to the semetary. She then returns and kills Louis, then proceeds to drag him to the semetary, before the entire now evil, regenerated family complete with psycho cat, now walk towards Gage after burning down Jud's house. I assume Gage will be next on the hit list, or maybe they'll wait until he is older, who knows. I wasn't a fan of this ending. I much prefer the ending of the book, and subsequently the original adaption, with Louis killing his zombie child after he has killed Rachel, before taking Rachel to the semetary and bringing her back to life. It ends with her simply dragging her dirt covered feet inside and saying, "Darling" leaving it up to ourselves to decide what happens to Louis and his remaining child. I understand that the writer of this new adaptation wanted a new ending in order to surprise audiences who are well familiar with the original ones as well as satisfy those new to Stephen King's work, but sadly it just didn't pull it off for me. Personally, I would have had Louis kill Ellie, then flee with Gage only to have Rachel stumble out of the forest and stare after them, again leaving it up to the viewer to imagine what is coming next. But that's just me.
Overall though, the new film is thoroughly entertaining and an enjoyable watch for any horror fan whether you like Stephen King or not. I would recommend it to any horror fan.
But these are just my opinions- what did you think of the old and new adaptations? How would you have ended the new film? Comment and let me know and don't forget to subscribe so you can keep up to date with all my latest posts.

HomeTalibanWill India recognize Taliban in Afghanistan ?
Will India recognize Taliban in Afghanistan ?
atpresentworld desk
September 1996. In Afghanistan, it was the pre-winter season. The weather in Kabul is pleasant at this time of the year. A few months later it is a snowing season. It was at this time that the Taliban shook the world and entered Kabul. And then the horrible thing happened. Though Former President Mohammad Najibullah (who is known as "Butcher of Kabul") was a favour in India, he was killed along with his brother Shahpur Ahmedzai and hanged at a traffic post next to the presidential house in the city.
Najibullah had been hung like this for two days. The Taliban prevented their relatives from burying them in Kabul.
It is known to all India had a warm relation with Najibullah. The Soviet Union, the old ally of India, deteriorated in those days. After resigning in 1992 after being attacked by the Mujahideen, Najibullah himself thought of sending his wife and daughter to India. The UN wanted that too. India also sent a plane. In the end, the initiative was not successful due to the obstruction of Uzbek leader Abdur Rashid Dostum.
Najibullah's wife and daughter heard the heartbreaking news from New Delhi for forty-eight hours. Thus the historic Taliban regime began.
Najibullah did not even seek refuge at the Indian embassy in Kabul. He was taken from the local UN office before being killed.
Najibullah's brutal assassination has been seen as a historical rivalry in India's side with the Taliban for a long period. But the world wants to be with the conqueror all the time. The more the political equation in Kabul favours the Taliban, the more New Delhi seeks to rebuild relations with the "same Taliban". But why is it important?
Indian prisoners were released by the Taliban?
One of the main Indian reasons for being interested in the Taliban is, of course, Pakistan. The next chapter of the India-Pakistan conflict is shifting from Kashmir to Afghanistan. Pakistan thinks its influence in Afghanistan in the future could be monopolized by its old ties with the Taliban. This will change the balance of power in South Asia.
India is ready to cease this situation at any cost. As a result, they have the only option and that is "friendship with the Taliban". India still does not accept the Taliban's claim to be the old 'legitimate government' of Afghanistan. But even then, the Indian foreign minister spoke on an online video link during the Afghan government's talks with the Taliban in Doha on September 12. This is the first time the Indian minister has met face-to-face at an event with a Taliban presence.
A delegation led by JP Singh, a senior official of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs on Afghanistan, was also present on the occasion.
The Taliban are also behaving intelligently. The last Indian detained has also been released before leaving for Doha. In May 2016, they picked up the workers of an Indian company from Baghlan province.
However, Taliban leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar thanked Pakistan, Russia, Iran and China for signing the agreement with the United States in February, but New Delhi was not on the list. The message is clear. Even then, of course, India is not upset.
Is the Afghan 'peace deal' a defeat for the United States?
Will India Change their view for the Taliban?
India is the second-largest donor in today's Afghanistan. A Taliban-free, prosperous Afghanistan was India's strong desire. NATO did not live up to that expectation.
The United States is no longer willing to pay for this war.
"We call on the Taliban to reduce violence." - Secretary-General @jensstoltenberg following a meeting of #NATO Defence Ministers #DefMin #Afghanistan pic.twitter.com/iXK2q81zB8

They were looking for a dignified farewell. This setback marked the beginning of India's troubled times.
The Taliban, after 19 years on the battlefield, know now, for sure who has supported the Afghan government outside of NATO. In particular, India's support for the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance was public and overwhelming.
India has to break the ice with the Taliban now. The realist Taliban may not be interested to present the past forward. They would rather be interested in bargaining; which will again put them ahead in the negotiation table with Pakistan.
From these calculations, it is possible that India may recognize the Taliban soon. The United States wants the same. That is what Zalmay Khalilzad, the chief guardian of the United States, may have said when he arrived in India for peace talks on September 16.
The demands of the United States are clear. They need to take a step forward in Afghan peace talks before the presidential election. For this, they want to involve all the players in the region in the 'peace process'.
They especially prefer a crucial power like India. However, BJP's majorities and cow-centric politics are major obstacles to India's changing Afghan policy. A portion
of the Afghan people is angry over the Modi government's various decisions surrounding the Muslim community.
Demonstrations have taken place in several Afghan cities this year to condemn anti-Muslim riots during the National Citizenship Movement in Delhi. So much anti-India has not been seen in Afghanistan in the past.
Although Muslims are badly portrayed in Bollywood movies, there has been an immediate reaction in Afghanistan lately. In this situation, none of the Taliban seems to be more biased towards India. But even then, Washington does not want to leave Afghanistan in the hands of the Pakistan-Taliban alliance.
Needless to say, there will be opposition from Pakistan and Chia. Part of the Taliban will also show hostility towards India on behalf of Islamabad and Beijing. But there are also advantages for India.
The Afghan government is as eager to get their side as ever. Women's representatives of the country's minorities and civil society also prefer India's assistance negotiating with the Taliban.
If the peace talks had been held in Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates instead of Qatar, it would have been a little more advantageous for India. The Modi government is having excellent relations with these two countries. But the Saud and Zayed dynasties are not in a warm relationship with the Taliban these days.
But whatever the obstacles are, mutual recognition of the Taliban and India is imminent. And whenever there is a direct meeting between these two parties, it will be a strong moral victory of the first party.
That moment must be extremely painful for Najibullah's family.
From September 1996 to September 2020, they are now the only spectators to mourn the turning point in India's foreign policy. This is the reality of geopolitics.
#BREAKING: Big statement from Afghan Taliban Spokesperson in the context of Kashmir. Taliban says it won't interfere in the internal affairs of India. Fake tweets and statements of the Taliban at the behest of Pakistan were earlier doing rounds on Kashmir. Big setback for Islamabad. pic.twitter.com/ElLwU77ZlS

Especially when there is fierce competition between China-India-Pakistan-Iran over Afghanistan.
How can India give up their desire for reaching Central Asia?
Averting Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan were India's alternative reliance on defending their interests in Central Asia. China's influence has suddenly increased in both countries. The first option was recently missed.
Iran recently dropped India from the deep seaport of Chabahar. There are also rumours that China has made a number of proposals to the Taliban to develop Afghanistan's infrastructure in the future. They want to build a six-lane road network across Afghanistan.
The Taliban cannot ignore such offers to run a post-war government. But how can India overcome the desire to reach the vast expanse of Central Asia that stretches across the northwest of the map? So they must have friendship with the Taliban.
It is hard to imagine how enjoyable these diplomatic scenes have become for the Taliban leadership. History is a ruthless worshiper of power! Najibullah's wife Fatima Najib and his three daughters have no value in this scenario!

Protecting patient medical records from unwarranted prying is a goal that has almost universal appeal.
But as two pieces of federal legislation prove, it's far more complicated than it appears at first glance.
The first lawmakers to wade into the issue were Rep. Gary Condit (D-Calif.) and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), who introduced bills during the 1994 healthcare reform debate.
Those bills attracted little attention, however, and the issue resurfaced last October when Sen. Robert Bennett (R-Utah) introduced his own plan that drew support from other Republican lawmakers.
But several drafts and more than half a year later, Bennett is still trying to find a compromise between provider groups, which are concerned that the rules will be so intrusive that they will stifle the move to integrated delivery systems, and consumer advocates, who say the law will be useless if it isn't airtight.
On the House side, Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.), a psychiatrist, has introduced his own version of the plan that has several elements in common with the Bennett plan (See chart). One key difference is the McDermott bill would extend privacy rules to genetic information, opening a new controversial arena.
According to a Bennett aide, the newest version of the Senate privacy bill is expected to be released next month. Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee Chairwoman Nancy Kassebaum (R-Kan.) has indicated her committee will vote on the plan at the earliest possible date, probably in mid-June.
But that is only if Bennett can find a bill that overcomes the concerns of some providers. They are concerned the rules will make it difficult for integrated delivery systems to share patient information.
James Scott, president of the Premier Institute in Washington, said hospital groups want to make sure the "requirements make sense in terms of integrated delivery systems."
In a letter to lawmakers, the Healthcare Leadership Council, which represents hospital, pharmaceutical, insurance and business groups, said the Bennett plan would "interfere with the ability of network-based health plans to operate effectively by complicating the referral process between providers and by undermining appropriate information-sharing by clinicians."
But Kathleen Frawley, director of the Washington office of the American Health Information Management Association, which represents health information workers, said the bills would not make it harder to pass information within an integrated network but would "only limit it to information that is really needed."
Physician groups also have criticized the Bennett plan. Alan Nelson, M.D., executive vice president of the American Society of Internal Medicine, said provisions that allow patients to review information and pursue changes "could impose serious paperwork burdens on overextended practitioners.

Home Soccer Tottenham's 'Bale plan'
Tottenham's 'Bale plan'
By: LALASPORT | Last Updated on: September 21, 2020
They want the Welshman to set up a specific plan. He completed his first match with the national team against Bulgaria, although he returned with knee pain.
Jose Mourinho knows Gareth Bale first hand. The Portuguese has already tried to recruit him on several occasions and is aware of his status. Although if he has trained in Madrid (the last days in the gym), the one in Cardiff does not have a competition rhythm and in White Hart Lane they already prepare a specific plan for when he joins the training.
The Welsh winger, according to what they point out from England, will fulfill a plan that will last a month until reaching the peak of the desired form. At first they will have to postpone it. A little discomfort in the knee that he noticed in the last national team break will leave him out for a month. In addition, in recent months he has barely enjoyed minutes. The one from Cardiff needs rhythm and also, to sharpen the instinct again for a league of the highest level and notable physical demand.
Once you recover from your knee, you will start working to reach your highest level again. Thus, the player will have to delay the start of his second stage at Spurs in terms of games.
Tottenham has a very busy schedule in these first stages of the season and Jose Mourinho hopes that it will be there as soon as possible. This Sunday, Tottenham faced Southampton and next week they will put together three games: Capital One Cup on Tuesday, Europa League on Thursday and meeting against Newcastle on Sunday. October will start with the first key League match against Manchester United and between the 17th and the 24th, if the plan is fulfilled, Gareth Bale could appear against Burnley or Brighton. The aim would be to have the Welshman ready at full capacity for the late November games against Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal that will be played between November 21 and December 5. The express should be ready for the first Tourmalet.
Since the return of football, Gareth Bale barely played 100 minutes with Real Madrid: 29 against Eibar and 71 against Mallorca, being left out of the list against Leganés and against Manchester City, the match that closed the white campaign. With his national team, he played 45 minutes against Finland and completed his first game in months against Bulgaria. Without a goal in all these meetings, in London they hope that their drought will end and the Cardiff Express will fly again as before.
Mourinho trusts that Bale will shorten the recovery times
José Mourinho, Tottenham Hotspur coach, trusts that Gareth Bale will shorten the recovery times from the injury that he drags and that, in principle, he will not allow him to make his debut with the 'Spurs' until the middle of October
The English club confirmed that Bale will be out until after the national team break, due to the knee injury he suffered playing for Wales. "I don't know when Gareth will be back. All I know is that his motivation is very high. He is very happy to be here," Mourinho told the London Evening Standard newspaper.
"When a player has this motivation, many times you can shorten the recovery period and be ready to play earlier," he added. Bale arrived at Tottenham this week from Real Madrid and will spend a year on loan at the London club.

Thirteenth victim dies from Formosa Fun Coast disaster
By Lee I-chia / Staff reporter, with CNA
The number of fatalities from the June 27 fire at the Formosa Fun Coast (八仙海岸) water park rose to 13, after a 20-year-old man died at the Taipei Veterans General Hospital yesterday afternoon.
Wang Wei-po (王韋博), a student at Fu Jen Catholic University's Sport Recreation Management Program, suffered burns to 70 percent of his body in the fire.
On June 28, Wang underwent an emergency escharotomy, a surgical incision into a burn scar intended to lessen its pull on the surrounding tissue, on all four limbs.
He also underwent several debridement surgeries.
Over the past four months, Wang developed multiple complications, including infections, pneumonia, bacteremia, septic shock and kidney failure, the hospital said.
Wang, son of Formosa Fun Coast Water Park Victims' Family Coalition spokeswoman Tang Mei-na (唐美娜), was treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation earlier this month, but died of cardiorespiratory failure at 12:10pm, it said.
Wang was among the 508 people injured in the fire at the park in New Taipei City's Bali District (八里). The disaster occurred when colored cornstarch powder dispensed into the crowd exploded into flames, engulfing partygoers, most of them in their teens and 20s, in a wall of fire.
Taipei Veterans General Hospital took 43 of the victims, including six who had sustained burns to more than 80 percent of their bodies. Nine patients remain in critical condition, it added.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare said that as of yesterday, 44 victims remain hospitalized nationwide, including 11 in intensive care units and nine who are listed as terminally ill.

China Arrests Over 100 Lawyers and Activists In Latest Crackdown on Human Rights
The Chinese government is carrying out another infamous sweep of human rights lawyers and activists with over 100 people arrested nationwide. The authoritarian communist regime has offered preposterous excuses for the arrests but the message is clear: human rights will not be tolerated in the worker's paradise that is China. Indeed, with pollution and corruption choking the life out of the public, the communist rulers still view human rights lawyers as the priority danger for the country.
The chief targets of the regime include members of the Fengrui Law Firm in Beijing, which as been at the forefront in pushing the meager legal rights in China to check government excesses. Six lawyers include Wang Yu, her husband, Bao Longjun, law firm director, Zhou Shifeng, his assistant, Liu Sixin, and Fengrui lawyers Huang Liqun and Wang Quanzhang. They are accused of "seriously violating the law" without any other explanation. Two other law firms were searched in what the Chinese police is calling a "major criminal gang" operating in conjunction with the Fengrui law firm since 2012. The government said that Wu Gan masterminded the gang's activities in the name of "rights defense, justice and public interest."
However, if you read more carefully the authoritarian purpose becomes more clear. The government says that Fengrui lawyers were behind over 40 incidents during the last three years that "severely disrupted public order." Nothing disrupts the regime as human rights protests.
The human rights and environmental activists in China are an inspiration for public interest lawyers around the world. These brave men and women put themselves and their families at risk to fight for the most basic legal and environmental protections against a massive tyrannical system. The arrest of these lawyers is clearly meant to send a message to the entire Chinese bar that they should not confuse the Chinese legal system with a real functioning system of laws. It remains the extension of the Communist Party and it is used to silence anyone threatening the Party.

Isn't it great that we sold our country and it's jobs to a still-Communist dictatorship just so the economic elite could stuff more money in their pockets.
So what was the purpose of allowing a communist dictatorship into the World Trade Organization other than it benefitted the powerful and wealthiest people in the world. Apparently their love for democracy and free markets only goes as far as the money they can make from it.
BarkinDog says:
The RepubliCons in America prefer not to call the territory "Red China" anymore. They will admit that it is Communist. But they like the trade deals. The Koch Brothers like the trade deals. Also the RepubliCons like the dynamic of Blue States/Red States in America. They are of course the Red States. Better Red than dead. That phrase works in China and in the RepubliCon Party in America.

The issue of Freedom is being judged by US standards in this posting.
And the US concept of freedom in 1776 was anything but Freedom and it is certainly not free and democratic even today despite American Protestations to the contrary. But it is getting there.
So it is important not to throw the first stone…… especially if you share some collective guilt.
I came across a cartoon which stated a view point the Chinese Government could make of the USA:
"We make you pay for the water you drink, for the food you eat, for the wars we need, for the crimes we commit, we make you dedicate the most important part of your life to us, but we give you wages and tell you they allow you to buy stuff and pay for your needs to make us even richer. We call this freedom…"
Thomas Jefferson stated: "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have".
Mark Twain understood this argument well: "It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either". It is this final phrase that is the most chilling. It was true then and it is true today.
America is home to 5% of the World's Population….. and also to 25% of the world's prisoners. In fact America has the largest prison population of any country on the planet. So it isn't really the land of the Free. It holds the World Record in another department.
Other countries do not historically operate within these US Standards of parameters – by their own admission.
Of course the arrest of human rights lawyers and activists is absolutely unacceptable in a civilised world. But this is a stage in history that is being witnessed and the world is anything but civilised. It will come and pass and the Chinese system will continue to evolve. Chinese Society has always been regimented. "Saving Face" is extremely important and runs deep in the culture.
If the United States wants to help these targeted people, some tact and understanding with considerable diplomatic skill is required. China is probably now the most powerful economic force on the planet and it won't be shoved around by any other country least of all the United States.
Remember, "Good lawyers know the law. Great lawyers know the judge".
My view is that there is a natural tendency to "Freedom" and that other countries will meet this goal in their own time and their own way.
I think where the United States stumbles is that your definition of freedom is not shared by others – and you have absolutely no insight into this….. You cant turn the Chinese in China into Americans.
Freedom with Responsibility and Accountability is the answer to which there is no question, and provocative sabre waving from a country that only nominally achieved civil rights for their own citizens in the 1960's will be viewed by the Chinese with some distain and contempt. What they want is stability and ordered reform of their society which is facing economic meltdown far worse than Greece.
This is not the way to win an argument. You win it by setting an example that others what to follow.
America isn't there just yet.
Olly says:
I recommend we setup a lawyer exchange program. China sends there human/civil rights lawyers to the United States and we send them ours. That would be enlightening.
randyjet says:
If they violate human rights, then why not put in sanctions against Red China? Of course, we all know the answer to that idea since the US can only protest against countries which do not enrich US businesses, like Cuba. I would be more impressed if this administration would take some action to support human rights.

Sonic Dreams Collection is a 2015 art game developed by Arcane Kids for OS X and Windows. It is an unofficial game based on Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog franchise that compiles four minigames presented as unfinished Sonic games, but the game as a whole later reveals itself to be a psychological horror game satirizing the modern Sonic fandom, which is known for its peculiarities. They include the character creator Make My Sonic, the massively multiplayer online role-playing game Eggman Origin, the adventure game Sonic Movie Maker, and the virtual reality (VR) game My Roommate Sonic. They are described in-game as having been developed by a nonexistent Sega studio for the Dreamcast in the late 1990s.

The game originated from concepts several individuals made during a Sonic-themed Valentine's Day event on the game-sharing website Glitch City. It was released as freeware on August 10, 2015, accompanied by a satirical press release claiming the contents were discovered in a Dreamcast software development kit Arcane Kids purchased on eBay in 2013. Sonic Dreams Collection quickly caught the attention of many video game journalists, who were intrigued by its absurd nature and content. They characterized the game as scary and bizarre, but considered it a work people should be interested in playing and noted its commentary on the series' fandom. Geek.com went on to name Sonic Dreams Collection the best game of 2015.

Gameplay
In Sonic Dreams Collection, the player selects one of four single-player parody minigames based on the Sega game franchise Sonic the Hedgehog. Though unofficial, the minigames are presented as real, unfinished Sonic games for the Dreamcast developed by MJSTUDIO, a nonexistent Sega development studio, in the late 1990s. They are listed in the order they are said to have been developed in, with a fictional development history provided.

 Make My Sonic is a glitchy character creator in which the player alters the appearance of a Sonic the Hedgehog model. The player can change his coloration and alter the size and positioning of his limbs. After this, they select a randomly generated name. Screenshots of the player's character can be uploaded to Twitter. The game states Make My Sonic was MJSTUDIO's first Sonic game and was created in 1996. The studio apparently wanted it to be compatible with the defunct internet service SegaNet so users could import their character into supported games, believing Sonic would work in any genre.
 Eggman Origin is a vestigial massively multiplayer online role-playing game alleged to have been created in 1997. It is initially displayed as unplayable beyond the title screen, as it requests a connection to SegaNet. However, by opening a separate file in the game's directory folders (Seganet.exe) and using Make My Sonic to create an avatar and "upload it to SegaNet", the player will be able to access an untextured map populated by several bipedal, egg-shaped creatures and Doctor Eggman. By feeding Eggman with worms dug up from around him on the map, he grows. Once the player gives Eggman a certain number of worms, he is raised upon a pedestal to symbolize adulthood. If the player approaches Eggman on top of the pedestal, Eggman will eat the player character. After this, the player completes the game and ascends into the sky, with the number of ascensions posted on the online leaderboard chao.garden.
 Sonic Movie Maker is an adventure game in which the player is tasked with finding a camera and filming a six-second film to proceed to the following scene. The areas in which the player films are populated by ragdoll models of Sonic and other characters such as Tails, Shadow, Rouge, or Blaze, as well as objects such as pull cords, speech bubble sprites, and rings. Levels in Sonic Movie Maker include a garage, a prom dance floor and a hospital room, and feature increasingly voyeuristic and fetishized scenarios. The game states Sonic Movie Maker would have been a technological achievement but was canceled in 1998 when Sega management discovered its dark and sexual content. Similar to Make My Sonic, videos the player makes can be uploaded to Twitter. If the player completes My Roommate Sonic, they are given a bonus level where they can film the location of that game.
 My Roommate Sonic is a virtual reality (VR) game presented from a first-person view. The player sits on a couch next to Sonic, with Eggman encouraging the player by text message to pursue a romantic interest in him. If the player completes all the tasks Eggman assigns them, Sonic and the player prepare to kiss, only for Sonic's pupils to converge into a black hole that sucks the player character and their phone in. The player then watches their character running through a distorted Green Hill Zone and slowly morphing into a realistic, headless version of Sonic. The minigame is also compatible with the Oculus Rift VR headset. The game suggests My Roommate Sonic was canceled in 1999 because it was supposed to be used with the unreleased Sega VR headset.

Development

Sonic Dreams Collection was developed by Arcane Kids, an indie game developer known for releasing joke video games like Bubsy 3D: Bubsy Visits the James Turrell Retrospective (2013) and the unreleased Pokémon Millennial Edition (2014). According to designer Ben Esposito, the development team treated the game as a work of art. They conceived and designed it to celebrate and satirize the Sonic the Hedgehog series' modern fandom, which is known for its peculiarities. The title references the names of Sonic compilations such as Sonic Mega Collection (2002) and Sonic Gems Collection (2005).

The minigames in Sonic Dreams Collection were developed separately during the game-sharing website Glitch City's "Sonic is My Boyfriend" Valentine's Day event; Sonic Movie Maker, for example, was created by former Electronic Arts employee Arjun Prakash. Afterward, Prakash and two Arcane Kids members decided to merge the games they made (Sonic Movie Maker, Make My Sonic, and My Roommate Sonic) to form Sonic Dreams Collection. Development lasted for another three months, progressing through weekly sessions on Glitch City with the help of other contributors. Despite his significant contributions, Prakash did not receive much credit for his involvement. Arcane Kids later issued an apology.

Sonic Dreams Collection was released on August 10, 2015 as freeware for OS X and Windows computers on the website hedgehog.exposed. The site contained a press release in which Arcane Kids claimed to have discovered the game's contents in a Dreamcast software development kit they purchased on eBay in 2013 and posted them online as a protest against Sega's apparent attempts to keep their existence a secret. The press release does disclaim that Sonic Dreams Collection is a parodical work, discounting any affiliation with Sega. To download the game, visitors have to type in the password "grandpa".

Reception
Sonic Dreams Collection quickly caught the attention of video game journalists for its absurd content and intention to lampoon the series' fandom. A day after release, VG247 called it a "piece of gaming history." Kill Screen declared it 2015's 13th best game and Geek.com named it the year's top game. Kill Screen wrote that although inappropriate, Sonic Dreams Collection provided a thoughtful homage to the series' fandom; Geek.com found it took what was good about Bubsy 3D: Bubsy Visits the James Turrell Retrospective and "expands on it in glorious ways." Esposito has said some Sonic fans were offended by the game because they felt it was ridiculing them.

Summarizations of the game ranged from a "horror show" (VG247) to "surprisingly polished" (Destructoid). The Daily Dot questioned why the game even existed and wrote it took the Sonic fandom's weirdness to a new level, and Polygons authors expressed concern they were not allowed to write about its contents. Upon learning about it, Eurogamers writer said he thought it was "an innocent enough NeoGAF post" that turned into "something much more sinister." Eurogamer and Kotaku were lost for words in describing Sonic Dreams Collections content, with Kotaku describing the whole experience as haunting. VG247 did not describe the game in detail, believing readers needed to play it themselves to understand. They also disagreed with The Daily Dots comment about the peculiarities of the fandom, saying Sonic Dreams Collection "isn't even scraping the surface of the places those people go." In addition to mocking the fandom, Engadget found the game served as a comment of the state of the Sonic franchise and its sullied reputation.

Journalists characterized Sonic Dreams Collections minigames as unsettling and bizarre; Destructoid wrote they ranged from "creepy sexual fan service and Sonic community parody to something truly nightmare-inducing." Of its games, writers were most intrigued by Sonic Movie Maker. PC Gamer called it the highlight of the game, while Kotaku, Polygon, and Destructoid were left in shock from playing it. Polygon—which produced walkthroughs of all four minigames—described Make My Sonic as random, Eggman Origin as scary, Sonic Movie Maker as horrifying, and My Roommate Sonic as "tak[ing] things to the next level". Engadget wrote players would finish Sonic Dreams Collection within minutes but that they would likely come back, finding it "uncanny at recreating both the vibe of crude fan art and Sega's turn-of-the-century zeitgeist, that sense that the Dreamcast would usher in a brave new era for the blue hedgehog and his friends."

Recent Statistics show a second income might be detrimental to the financial status of many young couples with children who need day care. Studies discovered families with one income were already ahead of the financial game, if the second income is a modest one.
Why? Simply because when both parents work outside the home full time, additional expenses will expand rapidly. In fact, their financial stability will diminish instantly, leading to financial ruin, even bankruptcy. This article will cover what one young mother decided to do to improve her income.
I will use my good friend, Sandy, as an excellent example. Sandy is a married woman with a three year old son. She recently returned to work after an enjoyable stint as a stay-at-home-mom.
Please Note: All the expenditures are on the conservative side. Sandy is frugal and watches every penny she spends. Please adapt the examples to your own situation to weigh your choices.
Sandy earns a respectable $24,000 per year, which she considered a good second income for her family. Wrong! Sandy discovered other expenses were consuming her new income. To begin, she had to deduct about 40 percent for fed, state, local, social security taxes, pension plan. She is down to about $14,400 extra. Yikes!
Day-care dwindles a large portion of her earnings. In many large urban cities day care cost around $6,000 for one child. Sandy considered herself lucky to find a center charging about $4,800 per year. That reduces her extra income to $9,600.
$1,000. That leaves Sandy with $8,600.
And she will want to have her hair and nails done to maintain her professional appearance. Costing a grand total of $2,000 per year. Reducing her profit margin to 6,600.
can add up to an additional $3,000 easily. Sandy is now at a $3,300 profit margin.
All right, now there's transportation. Sandy commutes by rail 5 times per week. This totals close to $1200 dollars per year. Our profit margin is now $2,200!
Think about it! That breaks down to approximately an extra $183 per month after expenses. Sandy soon realized she could start an in home business that would have a higher profit margin than her once highly coveted 9 to 5 second income. She thought about her interest and focused on her skills.
Sandy decided to start a day care center. Sandy cares for two other children along with her son. Something she really enjoys. Her expenses are less, since she doesn't have to commute. She doesn't have to spend money on a business wardrobe or the latest hairstyle. Plus, she gets to spend all the time in the world with her son during the most important formative stages of his life!
Think about it! Are you in similar situation to Sandy. Maybe, that secondary income working outside the home is not the answer to your financial woes, but starting an in home business is!


Yes, but will Bayh register?
At Sunlight, we've argued that for all intents and purposes, Bayh, a "senior adviser with a role in public policy" for Apollo Group, along with quite a lengthy list of other former Washington officials, is a "non-lobbyist lobbyist," defined here as someone who walks and quacks but does not register as a lobbyist. From what little information is available about the Chamber job, it appears Bayh won't have to register for them either.
Reading over the memo from Tom Donahue, the Chamber of Commerce's president and CEO, describing the role of Bayh and Card, it's not clear that either will have to register as lobbyists. Donahue writes that the pair "will carry a bipartisan message on regulatory reform out around the country through a 'road show' of speeches, events, and media appearances at various local venues." We called the Chamber of Commerce to ask if Bayh and his road show partner Card will register to lobby; we'll update when we hear something.

Croatia is a vibrant country
Croatia is without a doubt one of Europe's most stunning sailing areas, given to its location, pleasant warm climate, clean seas, and fascinating coastline. The Croatian Adriatic, often known as "the coast of a thousand islands," provides around 2600 hours of sunshine each year, a comfortable Mediterranean climate, and everything that comes with it: the scent of pine trees, lavender, olive groves, vineyards, and the rich world of the sea itself.
Croatia spans from the Julian Alps' foothills in the north west to the Pannonian Plain in the east, passing through the Dinara mountain range in the center to the Adriatic coast in the south.
Geographical position • Area: 56,542 km2, with an additional 31,067 km2 of territorial waters. • Population: 4.381.352 Capital: Zagreb (770.058 inhabitants - the administrative, cultural, academic and communication Centre of the country). • Length of coast: 5,835 km - including 4,058 km of island, islet and reef coastline. • Number of islands, islets and reefs: 1,185. The largest islands are those of Krk and Cres. There are 67 inhabited islands. • Climate: Northern Croatia has a continental climate; Central Croatia has a semi-highland and highland climate, while the Croatian coast has a Mediterranean climate. Winter temperatures range from -1 to 10°C in the continental region, -5 to 0°C in the mountain region and 5 to 10°C in the coastal region. Summer temperatures range from 22 to 26°C in the continental region, 15 to 20°C in the mountain region and 26 to 30°C in the coastal region. • Population: The majority of the population are Croats. National minorities include Serbs, Bosnians, Slovenes, Hungarians, Czechs, Slovaks, Italians, and others. • Official language and alphabet: Croatian language and Latin alphabet. Religions: The majority of the population are Roman Catholics, and in addition there are a number of those of Orthodox faith, as well as Muslims, and Christians of other denominations. Weather in Croatia
The general weather situation in the Mediterranean, as well as local climate factors, influence weather conditions in the Adriatic. Sailing season is from April to September. Early summer is the greatest time to go sailing because there are more favorable winds in May and June. The months of July and August are great for individuals who love calm waters. September is also an excellent month for sailing.
There are a few common Adriatic winds
• BURA (NE) - This is a strong mountain breeze. The Gulf of Trieste, the Kvarner, the Velebit Channel, the region around Sibenik, the Split region, Peljesac, and the area around Dubrovnik are all experiencing strong winds. It only lasts a few hours in the summer and usually only one or two days. • JUGO (SE) - A southerly wind is blowing. It frequently blows for several days, bringing thick clouds, high humidity, and rain with it. • MAESTRAL (NW) - This is the "excellent weather wind." It normally starts blowing around 11 a.m. and ends in the late afternoon. The next day, after a restful night, it resumes the cycle. On the Beaufort scale, it can reach a force of 4-5. • TRAMONTANA (N) is a Bura variant. It does not blow as hard or as squally as the Bora does. Tramontana is primarily found in the Adriatic Sea's southern reaches. Other winds • BURIN (NE) blows in the summer from the mainland. • Another type of bora is the easterly LEVANAT. • PULENAT blows from west and lebic from south-west. • NEVERA, a violent westerly, comes as a storm or squall. In the summer, storms in the Adriatic are sudden and violent and produce a short-lasting swell.
The Adriatic storms have an advantage in that they are short-lived and some of them leave behind refreshingly chilly air. The Adriatic features the usual wind rhythm during periods of high pressure: winds from the land at night and winds from the sea during day.
Tides and currents
Tides are minor in the southern Adriatic, but as you travel north-west, they become increasingly powerful. In Croatian waters, the tidal range is modest, and the sea level is influenced primarily by changes in barometric pressure. The Adriatic is home to three types of currents: tidal streams, regular inshore currents, and wind-driven surface drift currents. In the Adriatic Sea, they are all feeble and insignificant.
Several times a day, the coastal radio stations broadcast weather bulletins in Croatian and English. A general weather report, messages, and the forecast for the next 24 hours are included in the reports. The following times are when weather reports are broadcast: (in UTC; UTC + 1 h = CET; CET + 1 h = CE summer time)
• Rijeka Radio VHF Channel 24 - 05.35 14.35 19.35 • Split Radio VHF Channels 21, 23, 07, 28 - 05.45 12.45 19.45 • Dubrovnik Radio VHF Channels 04, 07 - 06.25 13.20 21.20 Sea rescue service
Coastal radio stations (Rijeka Radio, Split Radio and Dubrovnik Radio) receive messages round the clock (from 0 to 24 hours) on VHF-channel 16 and on the following channels:
• Rijeka Radio 21, 40, 4 • Split Radio 21, 23, 07, 28 • Dubrovnik Radio 07, 04
At least throughout the day, you can reach harbour master's offices and marinas on VHF channel 17. The majority of harbour master's offices have their own patrol boats, which can assist boats in distress even in extreme weather. Harbour masters have the authority to enlist the assistance of any suitable ship, even foreign yachts, in accordance with international custom and practice.
Split - ancient city and center of Middle Dalmatia Position
Dalmatia's heart. The peninsula between the eastern part of today's Gulf of Katela and the Split Channel, protected from the western part of the peninsula by the Marjan hill and the ridges Kozjak and Mosor rising in the east and north-east by the Marjan hill and the ridges Kozjak and Mosor rising in the east and north-east by the ridges Kozjak and Mosor rising in the east and north-east by the ridges Kozjak and Mosor rising in the Everything is visible in a protected bay. This is an ideal location.
Aspalathos was the name of an ancient Greek village that existed thousands of years ago on the Adriatic coast. One of the challenges of living at the period was calling a freshly established settlement. Greeks being Greeks, they glanced about and observed the slopes of the mountains around them rich with Aspalathos, Weaver's broom, a plant that was widely used in the rope-and honey-making industries. As a result, the name stuck to the growing and declining villages throughout the years. All variations of the name Aspalathos have come to Split today: Spalatum, Spalato, Spalatrum, Spalathensis, Aspalathon, Aspalatuo, Spalati, Spljet.
Around 300 AD, the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who was from the major neighboring town of Salona, grew tired of ruling the globe and built a lavish mansion in his former backyard. After his death, the palace where he lived and was buried was used as a residence for exiled Roman emperors and their families. Salona's residents sought refuge within the sturdy walls of Diocletian's palace after the city collapsed, and a new settlement arose both inside and outside the palace. Split seems to never enjoy a moment of calm even a thousand years afterwards. As the town flourished and became more significant for its geographical position on the Adriatic coast and adjacent to the inland passage, it experienced turbulent periods and continuous overthrows. King Petar Kreimir IV annexed Split to the Croatian state in 1069, but the protectorate of Venice was recognised in 1420. It fell under Austrian control after the fall of Venice in 1797, along with the rest of Dalmatia, and was transferred to France in 1805. The 1882 elections in Split established Croatian administration, which was forever linked to the fate of Croatia from that point on, until achieving peace after the Croatian war for independence in the 1990s.
Split was left with the permanent reminders of these periods in the form of the Old Town, the city's oldest nucleus, after suffering throughout history. It is the most valuable specimen of Roman architecture on the Adriatic's eastern shore, and it is housed within the walls of Diocletian's Palace. Today's cathedral of St. Domnius was built in the 7th century, with the Romanesque bell tower added in the 12th century, from Diocletian's mausoleum. With the flourishing of the city, various works of art appeared both outside and inside the palace.
• The Papalić Palace (15th c.), the most important example of Gothic architecture in Split, it houses the Museum of the City of Split. Its architectonic details bear distinctive marks of Juraj Dalmatinac's workshop • The Agubio Palace (Gothic portal) • The statue of Grgur Ninski (a work by Ivan Meštrović) • The Cindro Palace, the most beautiful Baroque palace in Split • The pre-Romanesque church of Holy Trinity • The Renaissance cloister in which tombstones of Split patrician families are gathered • The Bishop's Palace built in neo-Renaissance style • The chapel of St. Arnir (1445) by Juraj Dalmatinac • The church of Our lady of the Belfry (Baroque altar, Byzantine Icon from 11th c., wall paintings by Meneghello from 1412) • The monastery and the church of St. Francis (13th c.) • The Meštrović Citadel • The Gripe fortress (17th c.) Present day
Split was the most important port on the Adriatic coast at the turn of the twentieth century. It is no longer so in the twenty-first century, but it has become one of Croatia's most important tourist destinations, particularly in terms of naval tourism. Other sectors include the processing of plastic masses, the cement industry, food, and other items, in addition to the strong shipbuilding industry. Many cultural structures, including the National Theater, the Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments, the Institute of Oceanography and Fishery, and its aquarium, contribute to the preservation of Croatian history, culture, and nature. Another fascinating aspect of Split is the sports culture that pervades the city and its citizens. Since the 1948 London Olympics, nearly 100 persons have won an Olympic medal, making Split a true Olympic town. Split's football gem HNK Hajduk, as well as other clubs with a rich history in sports such as basketball, waterpolo, and sailing, are a source of pride and love that will never fade. It's probable that none of the above would be feasible without the scorching, dry summers and mild, humid winters that make Split one of Europe's sunniest cities. Split, with its evergreen Mediterranean foliage and subtropical flora, was long a popular tourist destination. Nowadays, the main wheel that turns the economy wheels of Split and SunLife charter, tourism, is fueled by this climate.

Over the past several weeks a series of wild fires have devastated areas of Napa, Sonoma, Lake, and Butte counties in northern California, destroying over 3,500 structures, killing at least 41 people, with over 400 still missing, and forcing the evacuation of over 20,000.
Firefighters from around the United States, and the world, have been traveling to the affected areas to help put out fires, including the Bureau of Indian Affairs Pima Agency Type 2 IA Crew, which is primarily comprised of Native Americans firefighters. Several members of the crew come from the Gila River Indian Community: Julian Murgia, D6, Anthony Allen, D5, Gabrielle Baker, D5, and William Morago, D4.
Alan H. Sinclair, BIA Fire Management Officer Pima Agency/Salt River Agency, said the crew is currently fighting the Mendocino Lake Complex Fire located in Ukiah, Calif.
Sinclair said the loss of life and property has been significant and the crew is working hard to make sure the fire is contained.
"The crew is driving through burned out neighborhoods, witnessing body recoveries," said Sinclair. "They are proud to be here assisting and helping out in this time of need, but also sad at witnessing so much devastation," he said.
He said it is good for the crew to be helping out in this time of need, gaining valuable experience, and taking part in such a large event.
According to the Mercury News, the Mendocino Lake Complex Fire has claimed the lives of eight people, destroyed 50 homes, burnt 32,100 acres, and displaced an estimated 5,000 people in evacuations. Winds are expected to increase this Friday and through the weekend, which could potentially spread the fire.

A slots player from New Zealand has hit a €6.5 million (NZ$10 million) Mega Moolah jackpot, becoming the second top prize winner so far this year after another fan of the game snapped up €6.5 million in April. Rawiri Pou, a 27-year-old from Matamata, a village approximately 160km (99 miles) from Auckland, scooped the massive sum on Friday 17th June. Initially he won NZ$1,500 while playing the classic slot at an online casino, but then decided to let his bets ride, which is when he unlocked the massive jackpot and changed his life forever.
He accepted his giant novelty cheque for the lump sum this week, saying to gathered members of the press that 'I still can't believe this is real, I've been in shock since I won and it is literally going to change my life,' adding that the win 'couldn't have come at a better time'. He has no plans to quit his job at a local KFC, but did say that he had a lot of ideas as to how to spend the cash.
John Quinn, Microgaming's Head of Casino, commented: 'To be able to deliver frequent life-changing jackpots to our operators' players is certainly a highlight of the job.' He also congratulated Pou on the life-changing win.
Mega Moolah, a progressive jackpot slot from Microgaming, was launched in 2009 and offers four different jackpots, with the Mega jackpot generating mind-blowing wins that can reach eight figures.
You can try your luck on the reels of Mega Moolah by visiting 32Red Casino. Good luck!
