What's New in Version 1.2
Various bug fixes
One of the best, but..
I got this game for 99 cents a couple years ago and played it a number of times.. I even enjoyed repeating levels to gain coins for extras rather than pay any real cash. It is fun, campy, and the controls never gave me probs. Until I made the mistake of spending the 4.99 for the extra mini game "Call to Minions" which unlocks after completing the main game. It is actually a better design than the first, but the are freezes, glitches and shut outs at critical times. 5 bucks isn't much to spend, it's just the principle and after asking for my money back for the second part, they never refunded it. I should rate them zero for that crap, but the first game is worth plenty of money I nvr paid. Be cautious about the second game though.
OFF THE CHARTS GREAT!!
A spectacular achievement. This game is amazing. I've played a ton of dual-stick shooters, but this may be the BEST. Not only that but it's also a great RPG. Most RPGs are actually quite boring, but this one is very entertaining and funny. This is the ultimate steal at .99. Don't hesitate. Like EBay says, "BUY IT NOW!!"
This game is is so fun! The game is not buggy at all and has awesome gameplay. ONE REQUEST... Please make an update so it fits iPod touch 5th generation/iPhone 5 screen resolution. PLEASE and thank you! 👍

The President of The Cure Parkinson’s Trust, Tom Isaacs, passed away unexpectedly on May 31st, at age 49. He was a trailblazer in the Parkinson’s community, and was diagnosed with the disease at 26 years old. His core and personal understanding of the disease, as well as his determination and advocacy, made him an incredible leader in the field.
He pushed several significant components crucial to Parkinson’s research that the Quebec Parkinson Network shares, such as the importance of clinical trial participation, and awareness initiatives.
The QPN offer our condolences to Tom’s family and The Cure Parkinson’s Trust team.
Posted on the Micheal J. Fox Foundation Blog, by author Stephen Bergenholtz.
Stephen Bergenholtz talks about how he adjusted his lifestyle and mindset to overcome the loss of motivation associated with his Parkinson’s, through a list he called the “8 Disciplines of a Parkinson’s Patient”. He writes about how his substitute for loss of motivation is simply discipline, or regular repetition of an activity until it eventually becomes comfortable.
I will meet regularly with my doctor, follow his or her advice and find a new doctor if he or she becomes unavailable.
I will take my prescribed medications, track my medication supplies and discuss any side effects with my doctor.
I will follow a personalized exercise program in consultation with medical and fitness professionals.
I will make good sleep habits a priority and reduce factors which inhibit me from getting a good night’s rest.
I will foster an attitude of optimism and well-being and strive to alleviate stress through fun and healthy activities.
I will remain engaged with my family, friends, caregivers and others, resisting the tendency to withdraw socially.
I will read about maintaining a positive outlook grounded in my faith beliefs or my spiritual development.
I will contribute to the Parkinson’s community by giving my time, talents, money, or by participating in medical trials.
A new article posted in Nature, Journal of Science suggests that Parkinson’s could be an autoimmune disorder, in which the immune system mistakenly attacks parts of the body. David Sulzer and his team at Columbia University studied brain tissue samples postmortem, and discovered that dopamine-producing neurons do display antigens.
The prevailing thought in Parkinson’s research has been that the disease begins with clumping of a protein called synuclein in the brain, which causes neighbouring dopamine-producing neurons to die—the result of this being tremors and difficulty moving associated with Parkinson’s.
This appears to be the first evidence that the immune system plays a major pathological role in Parkinson’s. However despite the findings by Sulzer, they are still looking into whether the neuron death is caused by immune response, or if it is a side effect of the disease.
Either way, the research found could lead to new ways to treat the illness.

A new technique developed by researchers in University College London (UCL), involves in depth examination of the eye which allows doctors to see individual nerve cell death in the back of the eye. Initially clinical trials were carried out on glaucoma patients, but nerve cell death is also associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s, and so the hope is through the technique, earlier detection of Parkinson’s symptoms will become common.
The technique is called DARC, or the Detection of Apoptosing Retinal Cells. It uses a fluorescent marker that attaches to cell proteins when injected into patients, and this allows more visibility and clearer detection of the retinal nerve cell situation.

Faculty of Medicine students represented by the Lebanese Medical Students' International Committee (LeMSIC) and the Standing Committee on Sexual and Reproductive Health including HIV/AIDS (SCORA), have organized an International Women's Day Campaign in the Main building, Beirut Campus since on Tuesday 8 March 2016.
Empowering women and defending their rights searching for equality has been discussed extensively worldwide in the last few years, and recently there was lots of reported cases about domestic and sexual violence against women in Lebanon, Therefore it was crucial to organize such a campaign in the university.
The students prepared 5 stands, each had a different topic.
Stands aimed to educate the public about women's health, and domestic violence through multiple interactive games concerned with correcting the myths, knowing what’s true or false and offering more information about the topic, in addition to KAFA's stand.
The campaign offered Self-Defense training sessions in which 2 trainers were present to teach the public some moves that can help them in cases of harassment, rob or rape.

BMW Motorrad India introduced the all-new BMW R 18 Classic in India.
Followed by the premiere of the BMW R 18 the previous year, The R 18 Classic is the second member introduced by BMW Motorrad India to its new cruiser segment. The new BMW R 18 Classic brings back the old days of touring bikes & echoes the dawn of great touring cruiser bikes.
The all-new BMW R 18 Classic, an immortal plan is converged with obvious yet contemporary innovation to make a captivating by and large idea – offering a riding experience that is however developed as it seems to be enthusiastic. While the R 18 is idealist in style, the R 18 Classic highlights an enormous windscreen, front seat, saddle packs, LED extra headlights and 16-inch front wheel. It includes the biggest relocation fighter motor at any point worked by BMW.
The all-new BMW R 18 Classic is BMW Motorrad’s understanding of a cruiser that proceeds in the brand’s practice and unquestionably displays the style of the occasions passed by. Its virtue of utilitarian and trendy plan components, for example, the double-cradle frame, the teardrop tank, the uncovered driveshaft and the paintwork with finely drawn twofold pinstripes are suggestive of the legendary boxer from 1936. Classically designed circular instrument with integrated metal casing enclosed display with decorative chrome trim ring. The “BERLIN BUILT” engraving on the face reinforces the bike’s origin. The advanced LED headlights ensure excellent visibility on all roads. The sickle graphic daylight LED enhances the BMW distinctive feature of Motorrad’s heritage face. Starting at the steering head, the centre frame tube and swingarm upper frame tube optically form a continuous line that serves as a central design feature. In combination with the swingarm lower tubes, which also align with the lower frame tubes, this R 18 Classic gives a distinctly flat, elongated and muscular look.
The superior ergonomics guarantee a high level of long-distance comfort and a pure cruiser feel. The BMW Motorrad ergonomic triangle comprises space to the handlebar – seat and ‘mid-mounted foot peg’ posture has traditionally been the key factor that provides an active, upright sitting position.
The focal point of the all-new BMW R 18 Classic is the well-designed air/oil-cooled two-cylinder boxer engine – the most powerful boxer in series produced by BMW. The powerful 1,802 cc engine supporting from a 107.1 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. It churning out an output of 91 hp at 4,750 rpm. The maximum torque of 158 Nm exists at 3,000 rpm, with over 150 Nm available at any point from 2,000 – 4,000 rpm. This elemental power is collaborated with a full, resonant sound.
The torque to the transmission is transmitted by the single-disk dry clutch. To eliminate the unwanted rear-wheel hop, it’s being designed as a self-reinforcing anti-hopping clutch for the very first time. With the helical gear pairs, designed is the 4shaft transmission is the and in a dual- section aluminium housing is the mesh 6- speed transmission. The gearbox input shaft with haul dampers drives the two gearbox shafts with the gear wheelsets by means of a countershaft. The reverse gear is obtainable as an optional extra.
In regards to the suspension, BMW R 18 Classic sports a double loop steel tube frame. In an authentic style, the rear axle transmission is surrounded by the rear swing arm.
The suspension component intentionally dispenses with electronic adjustment choices.
Rather, a telescopic fork and a directly mounted central suspension strut with travel-dependent damping and adaptable spring preload guarantee superior wheel control and better suspension comfort. The braking system comprises of a single disc brake at the rear in conjunction with four-piston fixed callipers and a twin-disc brake at the front.
To suit the individual rider preferences, The all New BMW R 18 Classic provides three standard riding modes- Rain, Roll and Rock which is unusual in its segment.
1. The Rain mode ensures the throttle respond is gentle & riding dynamics provides a high safety over slippery road surface.
2. The Roll mode ensures optimum throttle response by the engine while the riding dynamics accomplish ideal performance on any kind of roads.
3. The Rock mode ensures the rider taps into the entire dynamic potential for the throttle to responds very spontaneously and direct. However, the Automatic Stability Control ensures a little more slip.
The all-new BMW R 18 Classic brags a docket of important standard features. Either the road is wet or dry, the Automatic Stability Control provided perfect control. Dynamic Engine Brake Control electronically averts the sliding of the rear-wheel by unexpected closure of throttle or back spacing. Hill Start Control ensures the pull-off on a hill particularly easy. The standard conventional ignition steering lock is replaced by the Keyless Ride. As a benchmark feature, Electronic Cruise Control is provided by the BMW Motorrad. The all-new BMW R 18 Classic braking system is equipped with the BMW Motorrad Integral ABS (partially integral) which adapts to the circulation of the braking between the front & fear brakes through the dynamic wheel load distribution and the loading state.
Additionally, the vigorous brake light signals the functional warning in 2 stages, one when the brakes are applied distinctly and in the situation of an emergency brake manoeuvre.
A diverse range of accessories & customization adds further by collaboration with renowned international brands.

Microsoft IE Has Serious Flaw, Someone Has Been Exploiting it for a Year
April 29, 2014 11:00 AM
comment(s) - last by
No fix will come for most Windows XP users
Microsoft Corp. (
a security advisory
threat database entry
this week after a flaw was discovered that affected virtually every active version of Internet Explorer (IE), from IE6 to the latest and greatest IE 11.
I. Who Isn't at Risk
The zero-day flaw was discovered by
, which is known for its Mandiant division that assists corporate and government users with repelling attacks. Many readers will recall that Mandiant
assisted the U.S. government in identifying and tracking
sophisticated hacking squad within China's army
-- Shanghai-based People's Liberation Army Unit 61398.
The flaw won't work on many corporate distributions as since Windows Server 2003, a mode called "Enhanced Security Configuration" (ESC) has been included which sandboxes and restricts the privileges of the browser. ESC is the default in all modern versions of Windows Server (since WS 2003), so unless you explicitly turn off ESC you should be safe.
Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, and Windows Mail
open messages in IE, but even in consumer versions of Windows they do so in a restricted mode, which disables script and ActiveX controls by default.
Outlook and Windows Mails' restrictions prevent IE from being exploited via malicious links to sites with the freshly found IE flaw. [Image Source: Tested.com]
Those restrictions should eliminate the attack. However, those using a third-party client such as Mozilla's Thunderbird with IE set as the default browser are still at risk.
II. How it Works
The flaw involves so-called
heap feng shui
. The exploit is pretty sophisticated, involving loading allocating and corrupting objects for the third party Adobe Systems Inc. (
The exploit takes advantage of a flaw in IE's handling of Flash objects. [Image Source: Adobe]
In the end you get a vector that can be used to point to arbitrary memory, effectively stripping away
Windows' ASLR (address space layout randomization) and DEP (Data Execution Prevention) memory protection algorithms
. These algorithms are designed to prevent programs from looking at other programs’ memory for either snooping or memory injection purposes.
Again, here we come into a limitation of the bug -- it only allows unprotected memory access within the logged in user's account. So unless a logged in administrator foolishly visits an attack page, the initial damage is limited. However, a savvy attacker could bide their time and test other potential exploits after gaining user access, eventually working their way to root.
In that regard, the attack can be viewed as IE -- and by proxy, the Flash Plug-in -- granting the attacker a foothold in the system.
Every modern version of IE for client computers is at risk from the serious flaw.
Microsoft says this foothold can be used for a number of ill-purposes including:
changing data (memory injection)
installing malicious programs
creating accounts to give attacker full user rights
III. Who is at Risk
Despite the aforementioned limitations (no root, limited opportunities for attacking Windows Server), the attack is still quite dangerous for a few reasons.
First it's relatively rare to find a flaw that affects all versions of IE (but certainly not unprecedented). Such flaws -- even if weaker in practice --
are a major threat by merit of IE's market share alone
, which is typically spread over several recent versions. Fire Eye estimates that over a quarter of Windows users browse using recent versions of IE and are vulnerable.
Second, the attack code does not need any sort of unusual offline tactics, so it's possible to host a webpage that performs the entire attack. This opens a wealth of possibilities for click-baiting in emails, luring users to innocent sound URLs that are really attack pages.
Attackers could use click-baiting to draw users to malicious webpages that exploit the flaw. [Image Source: iStock Photo]
As mentioned, many enterprise users may not be at risk on the server side, but on consumer and enterprise client side, it's a far different story. For those who use IE as their daily browser, you run a risk that any website you visit could exploit the flaw in the browser's security.
IV. Active Exploits Target U.S. Banks, Defense -- NSA? China?
Aside from the higher than normal threat level for the bug, another thing that makes this an attention-catching discovery is the fact that Fire Eye appears to have discovered the bug while probing an attack in the wild. It has uncovered a series of attacks that it dubs "Operation Clandestine Fox".
Fire Eye's Vitor De Souza describes the observed attacks in an interview with
It's a campaign of targeted attacks seemingly against U.S.-based firms, currently tied to defense and financial sectors. It's unclear what the motives of this attack group are, at this point. It appears to be broad-spectrum intel gathering.
Someone has been exploiting the IE flaw in the wild for the last year to target the U.S. banking and defense industry -- one prime suspect is China. [Image Source: DMM News]
At this point it is unclear who performed these attacks. China has long been accused of carrying out attacks on the U.S. financial and defense sectors. But the issue became muddled by recent disclosures of spying by the
U.S. National Security Agency
The details of the NSA's spying campaigns make it clear that determining the attacker is now a much harder matter, as the NSA often reportedly
targets American businesses and citizens alike
with attacks, which it claims protect national security. Some of these attacks are routed through servers housed in regions known for cyber-aggression such as China, raising the risk of false identification (likely the intention).
Likewise, the NSA
regularly uses networks of infected computers (botnets)
. The NSA has been accused of
exploiting for nearly two years the recently discovered flaw in the OpenSSL
encryption protocol's heartbeat feature, a flaw popularized in the media under the name "Heartbleed". While the NSA denied those claims, its internal slides do indicate that it targets the financial sector and that it stockpiles zero day vulnerabilities designed to escalate privileges and/or bypass encryption.
The NSA is another possible proprietor of the attack. [Image Source: Occupy]
Thus at this point the attacker in this campaign to exploit IE's Flash and scripting flaw appears to be highly sophisticated, pointing to a handful of the usual suspects -- the NSA, China, and Eastern European cybercriminals. Whoever's behind these attacks, though, Fire Eye says it believes they have been going on for about a year now.
V. Patching Outlook and How to Protect Yourself
Microsoft is working to patch the flaw in newer versions of Internet Explorer and Windows. But many users of Windows XP -- the
most used operating system of last decade
-- are in the dark after
support to most SKUs of Windows XP ended earlier this month
. Point-of-sale versions of Windows XP are being maintained, and Microsoft has pledged to offer proprietary fixes to a handful of large enterprise users willing to pay it a ransom for the ongoing support. However, for the majority of XP users -- including enterprise clients -- no fix is in sight.
The Windows OS maker's suggestion to customers at risk is to upgrade to a newer version of Windows such as Windows 7 or Windows 8.
Microsoft says the flaw -- which will not be patched on most Windows XP installations -- is one more reason to "turn off" Windows XP and upgrade.
those who refuse to give up XP
, there are some easy steps that can be used to protect the attack:
Don't visit untrusted webpages, don't click on links in email, instead navigate to webpages yourself (this should protect in almost all cases, but requires constant discipline and vigilence)
Disable the flash plug-in
If you do click URL links ine email, only do it in Outlook (which is protected), not in third party clients
Stop using IE altogether -- adopt a third party browser (e.g. Firefox) that isn't at risk
Any or all of those strategies should protect users on recent platforms who are waiting for a fix, and users on the dying Windows XP platform, which may never receive a fix.

RE: Happy Alt browsers

All the other browsers are definitely rolling their eyes. Again.
But no...IE's market share won't change. The mouth-breathing hordes can't be bothered to change what browser they use - if you can even get them to comprehend what browser they use...or even what a browser is.
What's astounding is that if you put Opera/Firefox/Chrome/whatever on one of their PCs, the mouth-breathers will insist they can't figure out how to use it, and will go back to IE. Despite the irrefutable fact that *all* browsers work in exactly the same manner. The only difference a user could see would be whether they use the word "bookmarks" or "favorites."
RE: Happy Alt browsers

I moved back to IE with 10 because frankly, it runs far better for me than Firefox. I was a Firefox evangelist for years, but for the past few years, it seems to get worse as it goes along. I stopped using Opera when they used the EU to try to force marketshare gain. Chrome just doesn't like my PC, or something. It hangs on me often. It seems to use an inordinate amount of memory and opens way more threads than I have open tabs. So IE is what I use now, especially on my Windows 8 machine.

FRANCHISE NEWS- The shortlist was released yesterday by the Secretary of State for Transport listing the companies which have qualified to bid for the Northern and Transpennine routes.
We have got hold of the letter and it appears that three companies have passed the pre-qualification questionnaire and are now through to the next round where a formal invitation to Tender will be issued in December.
• Abellio Northern Ltd (part of the current franchise consortium)
• Arriva Rail North Ltd
• Govia Northern Ltd
We are particularly concerned about the rumours of station closures and cutbacks for the franchise even before the companies have been able to put forward plans and tender. We are continuing to fight for the Station to have a frequent passenger service and ask you to support us by signing the petition and becoming a member.
Please check back for more franchise news soon!

Eating healthy while travelling.
By Antonia Manolios, Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD)
For most of us, travelling is a part of life, whether it be for work or play, or it’s a long or short trip. However, when you are trying to eat well or lose weight, holidays can be challenging. The majority of us throw all of our healthy eating out the window and eat whatever we want when we want!
At the BMI clinic, we believe you can go away and maintain (or even lose) your weight while having an enjoyable holiday. Here’s how:
1. Avoid Buffet Binges
If you have the option of avoiding these, then do! It’s a safer option to order from the menu – it will help with your portion control and you won’t be as tempted by all the food on offer!
If you can’t avoid the buffet, then try not to think of the buffet as a ‘to do” list. You don’t have to try everything on display. Rather, do a lap around the buffet and see what is available. Then fill your plate up once, sit down, enjoy your meal trying not to go back for seconds. You’ll have an opportunity to try the other foods tomorrow!
If you have gotten into a routine of daily exercise, then why not keep it up? You will feel great for it! So make the most of your hotel’s pool or gym, or even better, soak in your new destination by going for a walk or run around the block. If none of that takes your fancy, then you can always work out in your hotel room!
3. Sharing is Caring
Trying new foods is part is the travel experience! So if you decide to try something new which isn’t your main meal, then share it with a friend or family. This will keep your calories down but allow you to taste and experience something new and delicious!
4. 2 is company, 3’s a crowd
While travelling, we often eat out more. So set yourself a rule not to order 3 courses, but rather, try to order 1 or 2 – either an entrée and a main or a main and dessert. Also consider sharing the entrée or dessert with your dining partner!

Dennys at Anytime
I expect when you travel around Orlando you have seen many Denny’s restaurants. We are fortunate that we have one about a mile away from our villa at Lindfields and we always have at least one meal there every time we go to the villa.
This Dennys is situated in the Summer Bay Complex which is located at the end of the 192 just before it meets the 27. It is open 24 hours a day as I believe the majority of them are. The entrance to Dennys is through the Tourist Information Centre and this can be quite useful because once I have ordered my meal I leave the others at the table whilst I go and get discount cards and vouchers from the Tourist Centre.
As this restaurant is so close to the 27 it can be very busy at breakfast times as motorists travelling to Disney from the 27 tend to pull in for breakfast as this is the first restaurant they see on the 192. There is also a Publix on this site so the shoppers also call in for meals at different times of the day.
Whenever we go to a restaurant we ask if possible for a table rather than a booth as we find unless we do this we are seated at a booth and a table gives you far more flexibility. The service in this particular restaurant is usually very speedy and you soon get your drink and your menus. If my parents go there on their own and there is a wait for a table they tend to eat at the small bar area.
Dennys provide a great selection of food throughout the day and have special Seniors menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Last time we were over they were advertising Special Value Menus all day every day with items priced at $2 $4 $6 $8 and these offered quite a good selection of food.
Our usual visit is for breakfast and they cater for all types of appetites. My Mother for some reason always has their Sirloin Steak (she rarely has steak at home! ) with lots of Steak Sauce. Dad usually has the Grand Slam which seems to have everything accompanied by huge pancakes. Last time I had their “Moons over my Hammy Omelette” this was a three egg omelette with ham and melted cheeses it really was to die for but I could not eat again until evening!
If you are there at lunchtime they have a great selection of burgers, salads and soups. For Dinner you can enjoy Meatloaf, different Chicken and Steak dishes as well as great Fish dishes. If you still have room for dessert you can “Build your Own Sundae”.
Anytime at Dennys I am sure you will enjoy your meal.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The City of Philadelphia has launched a $12 million grant program to help struggling restaurants and gyms during the coronavirus pandemic. The money will go to small businesses most adversely affected by the latest round of COVID-19 closures.
The grants could go as high as $15,000.READ MORE: 2 Teens Shot In Targeted Attack In Northeast Philadelphia: Police
“The bottom line is that a lot of businesses, particularly these small businesses, have suffered dramatically as a result of the pandemic,” Councilmember Darrell Clarke said. “We are in a very small way, we’re going to be allotting around $12 million in small business support to kind of get them through this process until we can open up our economy.”

Technology in the times of coronavirus
As we adjust to new routines in quarantine, people are turning to technology more than ever. Screen time has increased for most of us due to schools closing, jobs going remote, and classes moving online. For parents, this drastic change has left them grappling with how to deal with their children and technology.
According to Caroline, Knorr, a senior parenting editor at Common Sense Media, “While parents are trying to figure out how to run the household under new conditions, it’s fine to allow more screen time than usual.” This calming message on media and tech use is exactly what we all need to hear right now!
Since we are all getting extra screen time, why not use technology to communicate with children about how they’re doing, too? Here are three simple ways you can use technology to check-in:

Maggie Rogers and Mallrat
Maggie Rogers makes guitar-driven music akin to Liz Phair, as if Phair had been born late enough to have never seen a working phone booth. Her recent single “Give a Little” and the similarly toe-tapping “Fallingwater” will appear on her upcoming debut album, recorded with Grammy-winning producer Greg Kurstin and sporting the same sort of hand-buffed polish he brings to acts like Sia and Adele. Having topped the Spotify charts in over 20 countries with her hit single “Alaska,” from her first EP, she’s currently enjoying a media buzz that even found the New Yorker singing her praises, declaring “Maggie Rogers is an artist of her time.”
She just made a surprise guest appearance at the Newport Folk Festival with Mumford & Sons, where she put in a jaw-dropping performance of “Alaska,” already streaming on Youtube (if you check it out, be sure to spin the all-star cover of Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin’” with Rogers alongside Brandi Carlile and San Diego’s Chris Thile). Her October 19 appearance at Observatory North Park will be opened by 19 year-old Australian electro-pop rapper Grace Shaw, aka Mallrat.

: Showing artists how to love the audition process by reducing anxiety.
You've studied voice, acting and dance.You've even mastered the ukulele! Your dedication to theatre has gotten you to this point, but something is missing. That's where I come in. I will teach you to love auditioning and increase your book-ability. Trust me, nothing has gone wrong.
Your life right now is just the prologue.
Work with Me
You believe the stories you are telling only happen on the stage. But the story you are telling is fluid. Your brain (the story creator) offers up all kinds of sloppy thoughts.
Here is the GOOD NEWS.
That's where I come in...
You are the perfect person for the audition. It's time to unleash your audition anxiety and book the gig. Book a Free Consultation with me. Let's talk about where you are now, and make a plan for where you want to go!

There are several fairly interesting pieces of trivia associated with this album. First is that the original title of the album was to be "Louder than Fuck
", but A&M
decided that a title like that probably wouldn't push the album's sales very well.
Also, immediately following the recording of this album, bass player Hiro Yamamoto
quit the band in favor of what he called "a real life
". We're sure he's still kicking himself today. He was replaced for a short time by ex-Nirvana
guitar player Jason Everman
, before the man who would stay till the end, Ben Shepherd
, joined the band.
The second-to-last track on the album, Big Dumb Sex
is a direct assault on the glam-metal
bands that were popular before the arrival of "grunge".
There's also a picture on the inside of the CD cover of the whole band. It's a pretty humerous picture
considering that Kim Thayil
the same as he does now (ZZ Top-esque beard included), even though the album came out well over a decade ago. Matt Cameron
hasn't changed much either, but in an interview (I believe it was for VH1), when shown the picture, Chris Cornell
exclaimed, "my God! I look like a little girl!
" He does, too.

Just our way of saying, Thanks
Skip to content
If you are purchasing an LG/Pit Boss 24 Adjustable Rig and have a tendency to misplace things or have small children, we recommend picking up a replacement pair of XL Crossbars.
The Crossbars set inside the bracket notches on the Adjustable Rig. One runs across the front brackets. The other runs across the back brackets.
Fabricated from 1/4" 304 stainless round stock. Sold in pairs. Made in the USA exclusively by CGS, Ceramic Grill Store.
Just what i needed to smoke 8.5 pounds of pork belly strips for bacon on my large BGE. Without the second level rack I’m stuck smoking in two batches. Looking forward to the weekend where I run a brisket on the lower and ribs on the upper.
Ordered this for my large BGE. Fits perfectly. Nice high quality metal. Flawless finish.
Loved it! Works perfectly, fits in my grill like a glove! And the price is so reasonable! Highly recommended!
The raised grid has been an awesome new piece of equipment so far. I was only able to order the correct part (5 leg since I have the older style BGE) and the updated 16” grid thanks to the level of detail/notes on the website. I’ve used it as a 50/50 direct/indirect with the 15” half moon ceramic and in an indirect setup using the full circle ceramic that came with the egg originally. Both worked very well, and it’s nice to have the grate raised to lid level now when grilling. I would definitely recommend this and the accompanying accessories to anyone on the fence. Quality/welds are also very nice as far as the grid expander and grid.
Great quality pan. Covers my stone perfectly.

Police arrest 11 as wildfires clear and rioting resumes in Portland (VIDEOS)
Portland has been a hive of unrest since the death of George Floyd earlier this summer, with demonstrations only pausing when wildfires encroached on the city over the last week. However, the blaze receded and smoke cleared on Friday, prompting activists to march on the ICE building at nightfall.
The crowd was met by police and federal agents, who say they were pelted with projectiles. Federal agents first pushed the demonstrators back from the ICE building, before the Portland Police Bureau declared the gathering an unlawful assembly and swooped in to arrest anyone refusing to disperse.
Dramatic footage shared on social media shows agents tackling rioters to the ground. Though an edict from Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler forbids the city’s police from using tear gas, the streets were filled with what looked like smoke and gas, possibly deployed by federal agents. Some reports on social media suggested that tear gas was used by police.

The Portland Police Bureau said in a statement that 11 rioters were detained. Their charges include disorderly conduct, assault of police officers, possession of stolen goods, and unlawful weapons use.
The summer of unrest has angered some Portland residents, among them business owners tired of having their storefronts smashed and their premises looted. During Friday night’s activities, demonstrators were pelted with eggs from an apartment window. The crowd hurled abuse at the resident in response.

By Saturday morning, plans were already being drawn up for another night of protest, according to a poster which made the rounds on social media. The demonstration will be in memory of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died aged 87 on Friday.

Donors recovered from COVID-19 are helping others
The response from people who have overcome COVID-19 to Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center’s call for convalescent plasma has been amazing. We’ve seen a number of donors step up to help patients fighting the disease in local hospitals, and it’s beautiful to see our community come together for such an important reason.
Now fully recovered, Cheryl, a Katy resident, was one of the first to donate because “there are people worse off than me.”
Cheryl’s treatment didn’t involve hospitalization, but she did feel pain and stress in her shoulders throughout her sickness. She encouraged others to take COVID-19 seriously and stay home if they can.
“If my blood can save lives, I’ll help,” Cheryl said during her donation.
Convalescent plasma is the liquid part of blood collected from patients who have recovered from an infection. Antibodies present in the convalescent plasma are proteins that might help fight the infection.
As someone who works in health care, Kira also did her part to help others by donating convalescent plasma. She is a nurse practitioner in Houston who was exposed to COVID-19 at her office. Over 15 days, she experienced pain and fever and was isolated from her husband, but now she’s fully recovered and giving back to others.
If you have had a positive COVID-19 diagnosis and are now fully recovered, with no symptoms for at least 28 days or recovered with no symptoms for 14 days and a second test with negative results, you can help others in their recovery.

Waterways & Wetlands
Council has a range of programs that assist us in ensuring sustainability of our waterways and coastal areas. These include:
Fairfield Freshwater Wetlands - Environmental Management Plan
This document is a summary of our Wetland Management of School Lagoon at Fairfield, and we aim to educate about the importance of this local wetland, its diverse array of native wetland birds, fish and aquatic biota and complex vegetation.
Furthermore, Council’s Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for this locally important and historic natural wetlands intends to share our annual maintenance works for the two nutrient basins and what Council is doing to help the wetland remain in place.
As an oasis that is constantly changing, it can sometimes appear a little bit messy, and we actively manage the wetland for this fact. We share how you as a neighbour can help this wetland too, with your own backyard and street behaviours.

Creek to Coral
The Creek to Coral program aims to maintain and enhance healthy waterways within the coastal dry tropics of the Townsville region. The program focuses on Total Water Cycle Management (TWCM) and the provision of community education and involvement (see Creekwatch and Reef Health Monitoring below). TWCM is a partnership across a number of Townsville City Council sections and local organisations.
For further information please contact the Creek to Coral Team Leader.
Creekwatch is a community program that offers volunteer opportunities to help connect people to nature, contribute to improving waterways, and encourage stewardship of waterways by the local community.
Interested community members are invited to adopt their local creek and learn from our Creekwatch project partners at OzFish to undertake waterway monitoring including:
- Fish sampling
- Water Quality monitoring (pH, TSS, Temp, Conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen)
- Macroinvertebrate sampling.
Creekwatch is also an excellent opportunity for interested schools to foster curiosity and learning about our local environment.

Coronavirus by the numbers
88% of infected Plymouth residents have recovered from COVID-19, 12% did not
PLYMOUTH – The numbers tell a story. Over the past five months, more than 620 residents have been infected with the coronavirus
Demographic figures released by the Plymouth Public Health Department provide insight into how the pandemic struck the town and who was sickened by it. According to the statistics, the average age of a person with COVID-19 was 59. More women – 61 percent – contracted the virus than men.
Plymouth has seen 73 deaths from the disease, about 12 percent of those infected, with the average age of the deceased being 85. More women – 63 percent – than men died from the virus. The youngest person to die from the coronavirus was 61.
"The common denominator is preexisting conditions," said Karen Keane, the town’s public health director. "More older people have health problems, so they were the most impacted by the disease. Any loss of life is a tragedy, but the important thing to remember is that most people recovered from this illness. We had a 102-year-old woman who survived it."
Illness by age shows some interesting trends. The biggest group was 54 to 63 years of age with 94 infections. The second-highest group was 83 to 92 with 85. A total of 74 residents aged 44 to 54 contracted coronavirus.
In the 6 to 15 age bracket, 10 people were reported with the disease, while 40 were in the 15 to 25 group.
"We don’t see too many young people getting sick, but we think that is because the schools were closed right away," Keane said. "It will be interesting to see what happens when the kids go back to school in September."
The town-wide demographics were compiled a few weeks ago when the total of confirmed cases was 598 and deaths were 73. As of July 27, illnesses stood at 621, or about 1 percent of Plymouth's population, up three from the previous week. Deaths were the same – 73 – as when the demographics were reported.
The rate of infection has slowed markedly in Plymouth. However, Keane said, residents need to remain cautious. She pointed out that wearing face masks, washing hands frequently and staying away from others are the keys to avoiding the virus.
"We’re doing things the right way," she said. "The numbers show that. But we need to maintain awareness that this disease is not over yet.
"It’s all about self-care. It starts and stops with you. You need to protect yourselves and your loved ones, and you need to be responsible for your own care."
For more information about coronavirus cases in Plymouth, visit the health department website at www.plymouth-ma.gov/public-health-department/pages/important-covid-19-information.
For details on how to avoid contracting the disease, go to www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare.

The Chilean cherry industry has already shipped more than 30 million boxes of cherries this year, well and truly popping an “historical barrier” of just over 20 million boxes for the sector.
In a release, Chilean Cherry Committee president Cristian Tagle said with fruit now on the water en route to global markets, volume would easily surpass the previous 21.7 million-box record set in 2014-15.
“Until last week we had more than 27 million boxes exported, but with the ship that was loaded last weekend the industry surpassed 30 million boxes, an equivalent of more than 150,000 [metric] tons (MT) of cherries,” Tagle said.
“We estimate that Chilean cherries will supply the Chinese market beyond Chinese New Year, which will be celebrated on Feb. 16,” he said.
Chile is set to host the inaugural Global Cherry Summit on April 25. Stay tuned for more details coming soon.
Tagle said the record was possible thanks to better weather conditions, particularly at the start of the season, as well as the efforts of growers and exporters that have led to an increased planting area, and the adoption of newer and more productive varieties with better flavor and post-harvest characteristics.
Additionally, the boost has been supported by the implementation of new technologies that allow for better orchard management and protection.
Chilean Fruit Exporters Association president Ronald Bown said the industry was arriving at a record that had been planned for a long time with intensive and significant promotional campaigns.
“It’s very good news that we’re already prepared and investing to strengthen the consumption of these high volumes which are a reality, especially with actions in China, the main market for Chilean cherries,” Bown said.
Bown also pointed to a US$5 million public-private promotional investment campaign organized by the committee, a sub-division of ASOEX, as well as ProChile.
“We are looking to raise consumption of Chilean cherries, especially before and after the Chinese New Year festivities, and position the brand ‘Cherries from Chile’ in the minds of consumers,” he said.
He said marketing activities in China included tastings in 306 sales points, e-commerce promotions and campaigns on digital platforms like WeChat and Weibo. In addition, there will be advertising in subway stations, residential elevators, cell phone apps and in wholesale markets, among other locations.

Though I used to be an annoying relentless Apple Music stan, those days were easily forgotten once I truly learned about the joys of Spotify. The Spotify interface is sleek, easy to use, and EVEN has a side tab on the computer version where you can see what all of your friends are listening to (this is objectively my personal favourite feature of the app because well.......I’m a creep). But, perhaps the most valuable feature is the curated playlists, whether they be specific to you under the “made for you” tab, or the general playlists that are searchable.
1. undercurrents: 116 243 followers
Consisting of all new mellow indie bops, undercurrents is the perfect soundtrack for doing homework, reading, or being generally moody in any setting. Featuring tracks from Cherry Glazerr, girl in red, Ritt Momney (lol) and more, this playlist is full of guitars, lo-fi inspired beats, and beautiful indie gems.
Standout Track: say anything, girl in red
2. Surf Rock Sunshine: 143 062 followers
The first time I heard Surf Rock Sunshine was at a hostel when I was backpacking Europe. The workers there had the playlist up on a television in the common kitchen. It was a beautiful clear day in London, England, and listening to this playlist first thing in the morning really set the tone for the day ahead. The tracks give off sunny vibes, and I always play it when I need an instant pick-me-up. The guitar riffs and Beach Boys vibe of the songs always makes me feel like I’m on a vacation when I listen. Happy happy happy J
Standout Track: Tidal Wave, by Tempesst
3. Beats to think to: 168 778 followers
Beats to think to consists of deep techno and deep house, appealing to people who have a love for electronic music. The most recently found playlist on this list; I came across this when I was looking for background noise while I was studying for my midterms. The music on the playlist is melodic and consuming but not overbearing, making for a fantastically versatile playlist. Techno lovers could pre-drink to this, study to this, workout to this.... the possibilities are endless!
Standout Track: Abandoned Soul (Recondite Remix), by Jimi Jules
4. 1990’s & 2000’s (Hayley Anne McNeil): 74,372 followers
Listen. For every cool new song in your playlist, there should be one song from either the 1990’s or 2000’s. It’s the formula for success and a nicely balanced music library, okay? I didn’t make the rules. With over 1000 songs on the playlist, in every mainstream genre, ranging from Boyz II Men to Ashanti to Britney Spears to Ciara to LITERALLY EVERY NOTABLE ARTIST OVER THE TWO DECADES, this playlist KILLS IT and will be sure to satisfy all of your throwback needs on any occasion. Even Hilary Duff and 3OH!3 are on here. C’monnnnnnnn. The only playlist on this list created by someone other than Spotify, Hayley Anne McNeil went off. She really did. Thanks, girl.
Standout Track: ALL OF THEM! Go See for Yourself. Seriously.
5. POLLEN: 217,409 followers
In the description below the title, Spotify describes POLLEN as a playlist “beyond genre”. True. It’s really hard to pinpoint what this playlist is due to its wide range of artists, many of whom span across a variety of genres. From Men I Trust to Tyler, the Creator to Joji, perhaps what makes this playlist so cohesive are the smooth, alluring voices of the singers on the tracks and the hip-hop elements layered amongst the musical arrangement. The distinctive snare drum present in a lot of popular trap and rap music is also present in a lot of the songs, making it quite an interesting hodgepodge. It’s infectious though, and it works. Check it out for yourself!
Standout Track: Want U Back, by Spencer.
6. Bedroom Pop: 331, 940 followers
Maybe I’m the only one who thinks that this title is misleading, but I was totally expecting this playlist to be full of dance-in-your-underwear-sing-into-your-hairbrush type of playlists. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find a collection of songs with a similar, dreamlike quality about them: synths and soft, cooing voices dominate these tracks. Some songs are mellower than others on the playlist, they are all equally as lovely. Spotify adds songs to Bedroom Pop semi-regularly, but amongst this playlist there are songs really worth adding to your playlist. If you ‘re into music that is reminiscent of 80’s synthpop (just toned down a bit) – this one’s for you.
Standout Track: B Cool (featuring Melanie Faye), by Magroove
7. Drifting Apart: 122, 472 followers
If you’re looking for a playlist that’ll get you in all the sad feels, this is it. Even if you’re not going through a breakup with a significant other or a friend, these songs are sombre enough for you to indulge in your feelings. Looking beyond the gloomy theme of this playlist, I’ve always thought that some of the best art is produced when you’re feeling down or heartbroken because everyone expresses sorrow differently. The lyrics in a lot of these songs are poetic, and the musical elements are soft, pretty, and nothing short of interesting. Spanning across a number of genres, there will most definitely be a song that resonates with you.
Standout Track: im closing my eyes (feat. Shiloh), by potsu
8. You & Me: 372, 769 followers
Quite the opposite of Drifting Apart, You & Me takes a much more happy tone and is packed with a bunch of feel-good alt rock tracks that you and your love will wanna sing as loud as you can together! A great mix of songs from 90’s, today, and anytime in between, this playlist is just fun. You & Me perfectly personifies the whole “I’m so in love with you and so happy nothing could ever bring me down” feeling that makes you feel super lame but is also so unbelievably sweet.
9. Lost In The Woods: 162, 636 followers
Perhaps the most raw and acoustic playlist amongst the others on this list, the artists really focus on stripping down their music to the bare essentials: guitar, piano, snare, and minimal electronic effects. Coupled with the soft and sweet vocals that are present throughout Lost In The Woods, the whole playlist is reminiscent of an old lullaby someone once sang to you in your childhood.
Standout Track: A Message To Myself- The Mahogany Sessions, by Roo Panes
10. Genre Glitch: 292, 448 followers
Closing out this list, Genre Glitch is a fun and lively collection of songs, described by Spotify as “Instrumental bliss beyond classification.” Electronic elements dominate this playlist to create an unmistakable and wholly unique eclectic sound. Upon first listen, this may seem like an odd mash-up of instrumental tracks, as it did to myself. But as I worked my way through the playlist, I was reminded of some of my favourite artists, whose songs share similarities with the ones in this playlist. If you dig Flume, Louis The Child, or Whethan, then this playlist is sure to be an easy listen. Come with an open mind and good vibes, and Genre Glitch will leave you smilin’ in return all day.

WORKING backwards this week on the National Hunt jockey front, Tuesday’s meeting at Newcastle proved rewarding as Brian Hughes recorded a double and there were single wins apiece for Danny McMenamin and Derek Fox.
Hughes’ first winner was the Donald McCain-trained Beneficially Yours who landed the extended two and a half-mile quinnbet.com Maiden Hurdle by 51 lengths.
The even-money favourite was having his second track start following a third-place finish first time out at Carlisle in mid-December.
Hughes also bagged two wins on Saturday at Bangor where the first was the McCain-trained 5/6 favourite Grand Albert.
This Jet Away gelding had been placed on his three previous outings for the same trainer/jockey combination, twice over hurdles and once in a bumper.
The previous day, Hughes was on the mark at Hexham where Derek Fox too was among the winners.
Hughes’ winner at the Northumberland track was the McCain-trained 8/15 favourite Galunggung who beat the Fox-ridden Fox’s Fancy by a neck. This was just a second track start for the eight-year-old who had finished second over the same two-mile trip at Kelso in January.
The Khalkevi grey ran once between the flags when trained in Ireland by Donnchadh Doyle, dead-heating for first in a five-year-old geldings’ maiden at Kirkistown in May 2021.
Downpatrick native David Maxwell has had some good rides recently on five of his horses, all of whom are in the care of different trainers.
The one who had his head in front when it counted was the Venetia Williams-trained In D’Or who landed the two-mile, five-furlong Full Circle Series at Punchestown Festival Handicap Hurdle at Ludlow last Thursday week and was due to run again at Fontwell on Thursday just gone.
On the flat, there were wins for Darragh Keenan at Wolverhamton on Saturday, for Paddy Mathers at Doncaster on Sunday and for Dylan Browne McMonagle at Dundalk on Tuesday.
LARNE’s Stuart Crawford trained his first winner at Newbury last Saturday when I Love My Baie landed the Bet In-Play On Racing With BetVictor Novices’ Handicap Hurdle at odds of 22/1.
This was a third win over hurdles for Simon Munir and Isaac Souede’s six-year-old Crillon gelding who also has a first-time-out Perth bumper victory to his credit. The French-bred bay was ridden on Saturday by J.J. Slevin who was standing in for the sidelined Daryl Jacob.
The previous evening there were wins at Dundalk for trainers Noel Kelly and Andy Oliver.
The former sent out John O’Hagan’s Darkened, an eight-year-old Dark Angel gelding, to land the extended 10-furlong Sky Bet Club Handicap on his third start for the yard while, roughly 30 minutes later, Francis Campbell’s colours were carried to victory in the Sky Bet Build A Bet Handicap by Squire Danagher.
The Australia four-year-old also won on his previous outing at the Co Louth track at the end of January after which he was gelded.
On the flat breeding front there was yet another win for the Brian and Ann Marie Kennedy-bred five-year-old mare Pepsi Cat (Tamayuz – Music Pearl, by Oratorio) at Newcastle on Saturday evening and for the Eileen and Noel Heanan-owned and bred five-year-old gelding Bungle Inthedesert (Bungle Inthejungle – Dubai Pearl, by Refuse To Bend) at Dundalk on Tuesday evening.
Over jumps, there were wins for the Emlyn Patterson-bred 10-year-old gelding Rumble B (Presenting – John’s Eliza, by Dr Massini) at Hexham on Friday, for the Colm McDonnell-bred eight-year-old gelding Neon Moon (No Risk At All – Hidden Horizons, by Winged Love) at Newbury the same afternoon and for the Graham Morrow-bred six-year-old gelding Classic Maestro (Jet Away – Shantelle Line, by Shantou) at Exeter on Monday.
NOT too many readers will know this but the former Willie Mullins-trained, Marie Donnelly-owned Al Boum Photo was in action in Northern Ireland last Saturday as he made his debut in Dressage Ireland company at the Northern Region’s winter finals show at Danescroft.
Winner of the Magners Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2019 and 2020, the 2018 Ryanair Gold Cup Novice Chase, four consecutive runnings of the Listed/Grade 3 Savills Chase at Tramore on New Year’s Day (2019 to 2022), the Grade 2 Easter Festival Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse in 2017 and three other races, the French-bred gelding last ran in May 2022 when he pulled up in the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris at Auteuil.
The bay’s retirement from racing was announced shortly afterwards and the son of Buck’s Boum, then joined the Co Meath yard of Louise Duffy who has successfully evented other ex-Mullins trained chasers such as Assessed and Arvika Ligeonniere.
In fact, it was because she needed a qualifying score for ‘Arvika’ to compete in next Saturday’s Dressage Ireland national winter finals that Duffy travelled north last weekend. Now 19 years of age, ‘Arvika’ achieved his goal at Danescroft and is one of 18 entries in the Novice Category 2 championship at the Mullingar Equestrian Centre.
The 12-year-old Al Boum Photo lined out in one of Saturday’s Preliminary classes where he was awarded an excellent debut score of 68.46% while the overall winner, Scarborough Fair, was on 70.38.
Also in the class, where he achieved a score of 68.08, was the long-retired Polish Partisan, a now 17-year-old Pilsudski gelding who won a Sligo bumper in July 2012 when trained by Tony Mulholland.
Al Boum Photo is due to compete in a working hunter class at Killossery Lodge Stud tomorrow, Sunday. Plans for his eventing career are up in the air as the weather has so badly affected the start of the Eventing Ireland season but he could line out at Tyrella 3 on Saturday, April 20th.
REFFERED to briefly in last week’s column, details have since been received regarding the new family day meeting at Down Royal, on Sunday, April 14th, and its title sponsor, Fibrus, the full fibre broadband provider.
With something for everyone, families will be able to enjoy a day of National Hunt racing, combined with children’s entertainment including bouncy castles, face painters, balloon modellers, a petting farm and more.
A first-time sponsor at Down Royal, Fibrus is an award-winning company first established in Northern Ireland which is on a mission to bring fibrefast full fibre broadband to rural homes and businesses across the United Kingdom.
Commenting on the sponsorship Dominic Kearns, CEO at Fibrus said: “Fibrus is delighted to be sponsoring the inaugural Fibrus Family Race Day at Down Royal.
“As well as being our introduction to the world of horse racing, this is a brand-new fixture for Down Royal and we’re thrilled to be a part of such an exciting partnership. We’re looking forward to seeing families come together and enjoy a day of excitement, laughter and cherished memories all while watching some fantastic horse racing.”
Kathryn Holland, Commercial Manager at Down Royal, added: “We’re excited to inspire the next generation of horse racing fans by encouraging people of all ages to attend our new family fixture. This is part of our wider strategy to safeguard the future of horse racing in Northern Ireland.
“We want to showcase the vibrant atmosphere of our racecourse to all, therefore with general admission, children under 14 can attend for free with a ticket-holding adult, offering great value for money. We look forward to welcoming Fibrus to the racecourse this April, and we hope families from across the region can join us for this special race day.”
IT was very disappointing, but not too surprising, to learn that the East Antrim point-to-points scheduled for Loughanmore today and Monday had been cancelled as the track was unfit for racing following all the heavy rain.
We know that as he continues his recovery, our good friend Bryan Gault would have been keen to hear all the stories surrounding the two-day meeting but hope that he does enjoy following the racing in Ireland, Britain and further afield over the Easter period.

1 The lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.
2 He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me
beside peaceful streams. 3 He renews my
strength. He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name. PSALM 23 1-3 NLT
What a joy it was to visit Scotland and Ireland. For my wife and I, it was a time or rest. We were always on the move.. but it was rest. We were able to see some of God’s incredible and glorious creation. Things mostly seen on postcards and movies.. and we saw it… FOR REAL!!
One thing about Ireland you notice on many hillsides are the sheep. Hundreds and hundreds. They are in pastures.. along roadsides, on cliffs.. everywhere.. but never without a shepherd nearby.
We were reminded of how he cares for us. How He loves us. He LETS us rest.
One of my heroes of bible study, Matthew Henry said this:
The greatest abundance is but a dry pasture to a wicked man, who relishes in it only what pleases the senses; but to a godly man, who by faith tastes the goodness of God in all his enjoyments, though he has but little of the world, it is a green pasture. The Lord gives quiet and contentment in the mind, whatever the lot is. Are we blessed with the green pastures of the ordinances, let us not think it enough to pass through them, but let us abide in them.
The key word here.. ABIDE. I tell ya.. from the picture in this blog today.. it would be easy to abide there!! What is hard is when it doesn’t look so green.. so plush, so peaceful.. to learn to rest.. a place where he LETS us be and later LEADS us along peaceful streams.
Here is today’s challenge. Are you willing to lay in pastures of green.. a place where God “lets” us be, a place where we find peace and can easily be lead along the places where life is.
My friends, I want to encourage you to embrace the LET and live in the LEAD today… Don’t you ever forget… #GodsGotThis

Cancer patients at George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust are the happiest with the care they receive across those in the county.
That is according to new figures from the annual National Cancer Patient Survey, which asks patients questions relating to their treatment.
Those treated at George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust in 2018 gave a score of 8.94 out of 10.0 when asked about their overall care.
At the other end of the scale, cancer patients at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust gave the trust a respectable score of 8.82.
Elsewhere, patients at South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust gave their care a score of 8.90.
Among other questions, patients were asked how they felt about the way they were told they had cancer.
Again, George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust scored the best (with 84.1 per cent of patients agreeing they were told sensitively) while South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust saw just 81.6 per cent feel the same. Patients were also asked how well they felt about different people giving them treatment and care.
Cancer patients at South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust had the most confidence and trust in doctors (86.7 per cent), and also gave the highest score for feeling there were always or nearly always enough nurses on duty (67.8 per cent).
The survey also included a question on how far patients agreed GPs, hospital doctors, hospital, specialist and community nurses always worked well together to give them the best possible care throughout their cancer treatment.
George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust came out on top again with a score of 71.6 per cent, while South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust fared the worst (60.3 per cent).
The figures include cancer patients aged 16 and over who were treated as inpatients or day case patients.
All survey respondents were discharged between April 1 and June 30 2018.
The NHS says the survey “will enable us to build on progress made and target efforts to continue to improve patients’ experience of NHS cancer care”.
A spokesperson for George Eliot Hospital said: “We welcome the findings of the National Cancer Patient Experience Survey. We would like to thank our patients for contributing to this survey and also our own staff, whose compassionate care and dedication in treating patients affected by cancer is reflected in these results.”
A spokesman for University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust said:“Finding out you have cancer is one of the most difficult things you will ever face so it is pleasing to see that satisfaction levels for patients across Coventry and Warwickshire are in line with the national average.
“It is also extremely positive to hear that a high proportion of patients feel they are treated with dignity and respect and are aware of the support available to them once they leave hospital.
“We have highly experienced cancer nurse specialists who provide the one to one support that is crucial to cancer patients.
“This survey gives us a valuable insight into how patients feel about the services we provide, what's working and what could be done even better.
“Every year we strive to continue to improve and we will be analysing the results of this report to help make an even bigger difference to our patients dealing with cancer.”
Glen Burley, Chief Executive of South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust, said: “At South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust we are fully committed to providing a high quality cancer service for our patients. I am extremely pleased to see the wonderful care, that our staff provide, has been recognised by the service users themselves.
"As a Trust, we are currently experiencing increased demand for our services. Therefore, to receive the highest score for patients feeling there is always or nearly always enough nurses on duty really highlights the hard work and commitment of our staff.
"This survey provides vital feedback to ensure we are delivering first class care to our service users and local population. I would like to thank our staff for their continued dedication which has enabled the Trust to rank so highly in this national survey.”

ICD-11 1F82 — Fascioliasis
A disease of the hepatic system, caused by an infection with the parasitic worm Fasciola. In the acute phase, this disease is characterised by upper abdominal pain, fever, urticaria, shortness of breath, nausea, or vomiting due to migration of the parasite from the intestines to the liver. In the chronic phase, this disease is characterised by cholestasis, cholangitis, pancreatitis, or gallstones. This disease may be asymptomatic. Transmission is by ingestion of undercooked contaminated aquatic plants or contaminated water. Confirmation is commonly by identification of Fasciola eggs in a faecal sample (after the individual has followed a liver-free diet prior to testing), or detection of antibodies against Fasciola.
The diagnosis excludes nothing.
It has no clarifying diagnoses.
