![]() With a backbone of Southern rock and country, passionate Van Zant vocals, and trademark layered guitars, God & Guns manages to maintain the iconic Skynyrd punch while sounding completely contemporary. He just lives with a guitar on him, and he knows that neck like nobody I’ve ever seen.” Of John 5, Rossington adds, “he’s probably one of the best guitar players I’ve ever played with, and I’ve played with a lot of great ones. He had a lot of fresh ideas and ways to do things, and also wanted to capture the old sounds, too.” “But Bob Marlette came on and he’s such a great guy he figured out how to talk to us musically, and we became friends instantly. “We never really worked with producers that well, we kind of always wanted to do it our way,” admits Rossington. With noted rock producer Bob Marlette, input from guitarist John 5, and a wealth of material written by the band and a cadre of elite Skynyrd-minded songwriters, a remarkable album emerged. I’m sure Billy and Ean are looking down upon us with big smiles.” ![]() “For us to weather through this makes this record even more special. “We’ve had some really bad moments this year already, and I’m glad we’re able to pick ourselves up by our boot straps and just continue to play,” says Medlocke. The crying is over and now it’s time to rock. I just thank God for every day and all the time I had with the guys that aren’t with us anymore.” You know it’s coming, and it’s coming to you, too. As you get older, you get a little more used to it. “We’ve been doing this a long time, so you just kind of do what you do. “We just kind of fell back in,” says Rossington. Unfortunately, coping with loss is familiar to this band. Gary, Rickey and myself just said ‘let’s go for it, let’s get this thing done.’” These songs needed to be out there, this record needed to be made. “But we got through it, as Lynyrd Skynyrd seems to always do. Returning to the studio after the death of Powell, whose keyboards can be heard on more than half the songs on God & Guns, was “very difficult, I ain’t gonna lie to you,” says Van Zant. ![]() “We wanted to show the people that not only are we doing the old material, keeping the music going, but we still have some new tricks up our sleeves, too,” says founding guitarist Gary Rossington. ![]() With a catalog of over 60 albums and sales beyond 30 million, Lynyrd Skynyrd remains a cultural icon that appeals to all generations, and God & Guns is a fitting addition to the canon. But that would not be the way of this Rock & Roll Hall of Fame powerhouse. With the passing of Powell and Evans, “a lot of people probably expected us to say enough is enough,” admits Medlocke. Since then, the band tragically lost Allen Collins, Leon Wilkeson and Hughie Thomasson, yet they rock on. Recorded in Nashville in 2008-2009, the project was interrupted-but, tellingly, not ended-by the deaths of founding member/keyboardist Billy Powell and longtime bassist Ean Evans earlier this year.ĭriven by core members Gary Rossington (guitar), Johnny Van Zant (vocals) and Rickey Medlocke (guitar), along with longtime drummer Michael Cartellone, Lynyrd Skynyrd have recorded an album (“under duress, as usual,” according to Van Zant) that very much lives up to the legacy begun some 35 years ago in Jacksonville, Florida, and halted for a decade by the 1977 plane crash that killed three band members, including Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines. With their first set of new studio material since 2003’s Vicious Cycle, legendary rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd returns with God & Guns, due out September 29 on Loud & Proud/Roadrunner Records. About survival of spirit unbowed, uniquely American, stubbornly resolute. Beyond the tragedy, the history, the raging guitars and the killer songs, ultimately, Lynyrd Skynyrd is about an indomitable will. ![]()

The DAT smart token enables optional selling and buying of stored data while enforcing data usage rules as set by the data owner, according to Coinist.io. The Datum network aims to provide entities such as researchers, companies or individuals the most efficient and frictionless access to data while respecting the data owner’s terms and conditions.

Yet somehow, you’re more relaxed at the lake. On the surface, there’s not much different about the weekend spent in Lake Geneva when compared to the weekend spent back home. You’re back home by 5 in time to roast some squash and grill a few steaks lakeside. ![]() The fall colors set against the deep blue lake were really impressive, and the traffic a drop in the bucket compared to the suburban drive. A quick stop at Pearce’s to peruse the produce, and back home in time for dinner. Maybe a drive to Gordy’s for lunch, hugging the lakeshore along undulating, leaf littered lanes, and perhaps a little shopping at Clearwater Outdoor in the afternoon. Now pick yourself up, and plop down an hour north and imagine a weekend in Lake Geneva. It was, all in all, a fine day in the suburbs. The scenery, relatively dull, entirely the same, but not stressful really. Nothing really, considering you stopped at Starbucks for a quick coffee and chatted with a friend for most of the drive. Nothing particularly stressful about that day. You’re buying some pumpkins, then home for dinner. It’s one guy who orchestrates 20 or so trucks throughout the Twin Cities…) What was I saying? Right. Perhaps a stop at a roadside stand to buy a few pumpkins out of the back of some guys truck (by the way, my brother from Riverside called me this week to tell me that in Minneapolis, the kids in old trucks claiming that the pumpkins/squash/corn are from their parents farm are lying. Traffic is bad, but it’s something you’ve learned to deal with quite nicely. Maybe a trip to Williams and Sonoma to buy that new Shun knife you’ve been eyeing for months. Imagine a fall weekend spent driving around the suburbs. Our collective search for a less stressful life is a boon for the economy, as we go about our days trying to do things, to buy things, to spend our time doing things that just might make us a teensy little bit more relaxed. That search for balance that so many of us just cannot quite obtain. It’s that search for serenity that leads many to purchase a vacation home in Lake Geneva. As Frank Costanza famously said, “serenity now”. We live in a stressed out world, in stressful times, and yet we do our best to maintain our composure and function as productive members of society while stress from our job, our family, our finances, our socialistic president, and the thought of another long Chicago winter tears at our insides. Heck, it’s a driving motivator for anyone who purchases a vacation home anywhere for that matter. There’s little doubt that the desire to obtain thorough relaxation is a driving motivator for those who purchase vacation homes in Lake Geneva. ![]() ![]() ![]() Instead, his dreams are nightmares full of puzzles and strange creatures. His dreams aren’t filled with bunnies and superheroes, though. If like me, you’re a newcomer to the creepy thriller, you’re in for a puzzling treat, but not much more.ĭARQ looks and feels like a horror game – Lloyd, the bald lad you play as – goes to bed and enters a surreal nightmare where he’s aware that he’s dreaming. But the worst thing happend in both the DLCs: at random moments I dropped down from the map and just got a black screen.If you’ve played DARQ before, you know what’s going on and what to expect. The biggest problem I encounterd in the first DLC was that I got stuck and could walk in the air on invisible walls, this happend a couple times and to fix this I had to restart the chapter. But the bugs that I encountered in the DLC were just game-breaking and made me quit playing for a couple of days because I was tired of starting the levels over and over again. At first, I wasn’t just if this was a part of the game, but after some research, it became obvious that it wasn’t. Luckily I know where I went into the next room I was able to see again. In the original 7 chapters, I only encountered one where my screen suddenly got filled with a black mist up to the point where I couldnt see anything. Bugs | I already mentioned it in the previous point, but there are a couple of bugs that are worth mentioning.I don’t know if it is a Nintendo Switch thing only, but I had to replay them several times because I got stuck due to errors occurring. And second of all, the levels are broken with bugs. First of all, the levels are a lot harder than the original ones, and okay, it’s a DLC so it’s supposed to be something extra but there is a big difference in difficulty here. Unfortunately, something happened with these extra levels that put a dark mark on the whole game. Visually and sound-wise, I maybe liked them even more than the original chapters. These 2 new chapters are a perfect follow-up to the 7 chapters of the base game and, as you probably expected, they fit right in with the theme of the game. DLCs | DARQ: Complete Edition offers 2 extra chapters to play.You can really tell what kind of feeling the developers want you to have while playing DARQ and they executed this perfectly. From the design of the chapters to how they designed the nightmare creatures, it’s simply fantastic. Visuals | I already talked a bit about this, but the design of the game is actually amazing.I really, really loved this aspect of the game! If you move an object or put a device in motion, everything has its own unique sound and when you’re moving around it’s just wow. This is topped off with very lovely sound effects for almost everything. There is a sinister soundtrack playing in the background that puts you nicely in the horror mood. Sound | One of the best things about DARQ is definitely the sound effects.As I already mentioned, every chapter has its own distinctive look, for example, one level takes place in an old theatre where another one takes place on the streets, making every single chapter extra enjoyable because it doesn’t get repetitive and challenges you to discover more. Mostly the levels are pretty easy to solve and you will figure out very quickly what you will need to do in order to escape, but sometimes things might get a bit harder and you really need to crack your skull to think everything through. Every chapter has a unique look with its own special puzzles to solve. In each chapter, you will need to solve a certain amount of puzzles in order to progress and complete it. Puzzles | DARQ: Complete Edition is divided into 7 chapters and then 2 DLCs.This game is also available on PC, Xbox & PlayStation We played DARQ: Complete edition for 3 hours on the Nintendo Switch. During the game, which is developed by Unfold Games, you will have to solve puzzles in order to escape the monsters and creatures that haunt Lloyd. Unfortunately for him, his dreams turn out into nightmares.

You’ll get to know his wife, Rene, and their two young children, Kate and Alex. Sometimes those periods are fleeting other times you’ll hang around for hours, digging deep into the minutiae of Whit’s everyday life. In its 10-or-so hour running time, you’ll visit different periods of Whit’s life. There’s a touch of A Christmas Carol here a vein of ‘ghosts of Christmas past’ running through the narrative. You’ll get the answers you want eventually, but as Where the Heart Leads begins to unfold, it soon becomes almost irrelevant. Is he dreaming? Is he dead? Is he actually alive and will soon scramble out to safety? These questions will plague your early playtime of the game. That’s where Where the Heart Leads’ story truly begins: with Whit landing with a thump at the bottom of the sinkhole. Whit, on the other hand, finds himself plummeting further down. ![]() Taking up the role of family man Whit, your first experience of him is as he ventures voluntarily into the sinkhole to rescue the family dog, Casey. The opening of Where the Heart Leads is something of a metaphor for the rest of the game you don’t quite know what’s going to await you at the bottom, but you’re determined to keep peering in all the same. Sinkholes are a force of nature dangerous and terrifying, but somewhat intriguing in their mystery. You have to live with your decisions and the consequences – the good and the bad.Beginning with a giant sinkhole opening up in front of Whit Anderson’s house, Where the Heart Leads is the sort of narrative journey that’s hard to put down. Again, this is the game holding a mirror up to real life you get one shot and that’s it. There are so many different paths that you could send Whit on, and convince others to follow, that I don’t think we’re supposed to see them all. This is a game though and that means you can do it all over again. ![]() I imagine I’ll get that feeling again in about 20 years. Then, when I got to the final chapter and knew what lay ahead, I wanted nothing more than to be back in the middle, dossing around town with all the time in the world. Somewhere around halfway through, I did start to feel like I was going through the motions and that it was crawling along at a snail’s pace. A slow plod through the middle with a lot of filler, and then a quick burst to the end. The game is a little long, but so is life, and whether it’s a happy accident or by design, the pacing of the story captures what life is. Every decision changes the future, and that’s something we can all relate to in some way. Your choices influence all of these people and many more, whether you realise it at the time or not. Sege, the older artist brother, faces roadblocks at every junction in life due to his free-spirited nature. Aldwin, Whit’s father, battles his pride to keep the family afloat. His wife, Rene, struggles with being a stay-at-home mum when what she really wants is a career – a balanced life. Everybody has their own stories, struggles, trials and tribulations, and Whit is the vessel we see this through. Where the Heart Leads puts these questions front and centre, not just for Whit, but the rest of the small cast, too. If I go tomorrow, will I be remembered? If I manage to hang on for another ten years, will I do anything that matters? Will my family be proud of me? Will my son remember me as a good man? What will be my legacy? It’s perhaps the most relatable game I’ve ever played.Īs I’ve gotten older, and as this pandemic has brought death to the door, it’s forced me to think a lot more about life and death. That’s kind of the game’s central theme – choices, decisions and their consequences. ![]() They were mine we (Whit and I) had to live with them and go with the flow. I really liked being able to project a bit of myself onto Whit, even when the decisions I made weren’t all the great. Whit is a bit of a blank canvas and it’s up to us, the player, to make choices for him. I kind of knew what was coming very early on, as will many others, but it doesn’t take away from the story at all, and come the end, I guarantee that all who are human will get a bit of a shaky lip.Ī slow start with Whit and his older brother, Sege, lays the foundation for Whit’s life and the events you’ll lead him through. Dazed, confused, and wanting to get back above, Whit explores the underground passage while reliving his childhood, his teenage years, adulthood, and even beyond. Average is as average does until there’s an accident and Whit falls through the massive sinkhole that has opened up on his property.

I would also touch on the fact that Gigalith did quite fine against my Ferrothorn. Apparently this was not everyone else's experience. I guess I did get extremely lucky with them, because I think my pokemon flinched maybe three or four times throughout my two battles with Hardy. Or at least most Smogon teams had that particular mon on there. It works in the battle in the Glassworks, so I see no reason it shouldn't be used with Hardy. Or just ignore trick room and add a Shuckle in, and ensure Sticky Web. A trick room team with Solrock and Lunatone, especially if they run Baton Pass, would be absolutely lethal.

In classic inherited PHA, cells are the size of mature neutrophils and have very clumped nuclear chromatin. 2 Because of this mutation, nuclear differentiation is impaired, resulting in white blood cells with fewer lobes or segments. This defect is responsible for the abnormal routing of the heterochromatin and nuclear lamins, proteins that control the shape of the nuclear membrane. Pelger-Huët anomaly is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a mutation in the lamina B receptor (LBR) gene on band 1q42. In 1931, Huët, a Dutch pediatrician, identified this anomaly as an inherited condition. Pelger also noted that, in addition to hyposegmentation, there is an overly coarse clumping of nuclear chromatin. The term ‘pince-nez’ has also been used to describe this spectacle shaped appearance. He described neutrophils with dumbbell shaped, bi-lobed nuclei. The characteristic, morphologically abnormal neutrophils were first described by Dutch hematologist Pelger in 1928. PHA has been found in persons of all ethnic groups and equally in men and women. PHA is considered to be rare, affecting about 1 in 6000 people. Pelger-Huët anomaly (PHA), is a term familiar to medical laboratory professionals, but mostly from textbook images. The CBC results are shown in Table 1 below. However, the instrument flagged “Suspect, Left shift?” and a slide was made for review. CBC results were unremarkable, with the exception of a decreased platelet count. The order for a CBC/auto differential and was run on our Sysmex XN-3000.
