The King Of Nowhere‘ is the most boring
Deadlights song to date. That same rock riff they bring back, the fickle choruses, the lyrics discussing hating oneself for making poor choices, the overall structure: I never enjoyed it or clicked with it. Not as a pre-release individual single, nor in full context as the album’s third track. What doesn’t help matters is there’s such a gripping forward momentum to ‘
The Uncanny Valley‘ in the killer opening two songs that then just suddenly evaporates once ‘
King Of Nowhere‘ arrives. It’s really jarring. Of course,
Deadlights are one of the best-sounding live acts in the country, so maybe once I hear it in the flesh, I’ll come around to it? Perhaps. For now, this cops the skip button.
Members of Women’s Groups from Derrylin and Teemore are in the process of looking at how they can revive and renew a roadside Grotto at the site of the former Stonepark school in Derrylin. The Revival and Renewal Project is currently being discussed by members via social media and an application is to be made for funding through the National Lottery Heritage fund. The focus of the project will have a memorial to victims of the Covid-19 pandemic and will be cross-community as emphasised by the project’s theme: “Take time to pause and reflect, all faiths and none”.
Group hopes to stop gun violence in Charlottesville
Stop Gun Violence WVIR By Daniel Grimes | February 17, 2021 at 9:12 AM EST - Updated February 17 at 6:25 PM
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - A program aimed at stopping gun violence in New York City just arrived in Charlottesville.
“I had my son kill someone on May 10th, 2014, and as a result of that murder my brother was killed seven days later,” Pertelle Gilmore said.
Gilmore says he’s no stranger to tough circumstances. He is now the executive director of the Virginia Guns Down Inc. Chapter, a Brooklyn-based organization aimed at ending gun violence.
“Being older and having the pain of losing my brother, my son Jamarcus, and a lot of other guys who I’ve buried, you know, in the last year, it was a catalyst for change inside myself,” he said.

This week, I personally experienced why many people are so dissatisfied with their healthcare insurance. Yep, I said it AND I said it in the middle of a pandemic. Here s the deal though, the problem isn t our healthcare providers, it s healthcare insurance.
Let me explain. Last month I had the first mammogram I had had in four years. I had avoided it long enough and my doctor wasn t having it anymore. So like a good girl, I made my appointment and arrived for the always fun (NOT) experience of a mammogram on November 16th. Several days later I got a letter in the mail asking me to schedule another appointment for further imaging because, in a nutshell, I had something going on that they wanted to take a closer look at. Of course, in the ensuing weeks before I was able to get in for a follow up, my mind raced with all of the possible outcomes, even though I know better than borrowing trouble.
