I love relating. I am fascinated by others' perspectives and seeing the world through diverse lenses. I know that relationships can be the best of times AND the most challenging of times; especially the Romantic kinds.
To love and be loved is what I believe we are here to do. To me this is created from two people coming together; listening, seeing, and respecting one another, and committing to working at it. I think the best relationships are the ones you can be your most authentic and vulnerable self with and of course there is so much room for fun and play along the way.

Delicious! There is a staff member that seems to have an attitude problem and really shouldn't be working with customers, but other than that....the food is great.
As a business that is always trying to provide good service. We're very sorry to hear this. If we would have had this brought to our attention it would have been taken care of. We'll be watching, unfortunately it was brought up one of these sites that can DESTROY a SMALL MOM AND POP BUSINESS.
A local eatery with wonderful homemade style lasagna and you pick your own ingredients. We've never been disappointed.
comfortable local pasta, pizza and calzones. great pizza but not much variety of pasta. friendly and efficient staff
I enjoy dining at Mama Digrado's about once a month. Their Calzones are my favorite, you can choose original crust or thin crust and about ten different choices of toppings. My favorite is the Italian Sausage on thin crust. The crust is crispy and has marinara sauce, a generous amount of Italian sausage and a blend of cheeses. They also...
Ordered carryout for lunch. The food was ready within the 20 minutes that they stated over the phone. The toasted meatball sub was fantastic. It had lots of cheese and meatballs with a mild marinara sauce stuffed in good quality bread. Also tried the taco supreme pizza, which was very good, although I gnerally prefer more traditional toppings such as...

Waitresses are prompt and courteous. Went on Valentine's Day had a male choir of 4 guys singing. Was a very nice touch by the owner something different and...
We eat here about once a month or so. The food is good and the best thing about it is the way they let you customize the dishes. My husband loves the way he can choose meats and other items for his lasagna. The chicken alfredo is my favorite, allowing a choice of penne or angel hair, and addition of...
This place would be great, but the wait staff just doesn't seem to get it.
I like the atmosphere, the food, and the prices are pretty good. However,
every time I end up dining there, I see a face-palm worthy service snafu.
"You're an Italian restaurant, but you don't have Italian dressing?",
that was one of the more amusing comments...
Not sophisticated, family owned and run, with pizza that beats any of the chains, plus hot subs and calzones that remind me of a New York Deli. (Try the Pepperoni, Mushroom and Sausage baked sub)
Mama's deluxe is an ideal pizza for those that like loaded pizza. I like the thin crust best, but there are three choices for crust....
This place is out of 1950s New York City. Basic red sauce is used with abandon. Gimmick is about 15 pizza toppings can be used on pizza blanks, or added to pasta, and even iceberg salad. Basically it is toppings, nearly out-of-can tomato sauce and some cheese.
Busy place. Inexpensive to moderate. Beer and box wine. No atmosphere. Tables have...

Now full disclosure, this was a player that I wanted this team to use either its 2nd or 3rd round pick on (before the Jones trade) in the 2011 draft. After reading this, maybe it's not a bad thing that we didn't...
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d8 ... estle-cows
In the lead up to the 2011 NFL Draft, NFLDraftScout.com's scouting report on Arkansas tight end and John Mackey Award winner D.J. Williams described his blocking style as "pesky." If they could read, cows in Arkansas would be nodding in agreement.
On Friday, the Green Bay Packers tight end told reporters that he wrestled cows during the offseason as an entertaining way to improve his strength and, of course, impress the ladies.
Enjoy three days of fantasy football events in New York City, including live tapings of "NFL Fantasy LIVE."
"That works out real good, especially if you get them with the baby calf; they're really aggressive," Williams said, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "That really helped. It starts out as cow-tipping but once they start charging, you have to go to defense mode.
"I guess it's three things: for a good time, for football, obviously, and it's a good way to impress a girl. It's very impressive. Usually, you say, 'Let's go cow tipping,' and they feel it's a good rush when the cows start chasing you and stuff. They think it's to impress them, but I'm really working on my football stuff at the same time. Two birds, one stone."
The No. 4 tight end behind Jermichael Finley, Tom Crabtree and Andrew Quarless, Williams' versatility and athleticism had him dressed for an impressive 13 games last season. According to official playing-time documents, Williams played in just less than 10 percent of the Packers' 1,033 offensive snaps, catching two passes for 13 yards. Building strength could help Williams not only see the field more in 2012, but the tight end also could see more opportunities in the passing game

McDowell keen to make hat-trick history in Paris
Graeme McDowell will look to write his name in the record books by securing a hat-trick of wins in the Alstom Open de France at Le Golf National in Paris this week.
Graeme McDowell will look to write his name in the record books by securing a hat-trick of wins in the Alstom Open de France at Le Golf National in Paris this week.
Irish amateur golfer Paul Dunne has secured his place at the 144th British Open by winning the final qualifying tournament at Woburn Golf Club.
Spain's Pablo Larrazabal shot a 66 to finish 17 under par and claim a second BMW International Open title in Munich by a single stroke, with Michael Hoey having to settle for a tie of seventh.
England's James Morrison powered into a two-shot lead with a five-under 67 in the third round of the BMW International Open in Munich, while Michael Hoey is best of the Irish five shots behind Morrison.
A superb 65 has left Michael Hoey two shots off leader Rafael Cabrera-Bello at the BMW International Open at the halfway stage.
The winner of the Open Championship will earn more than £1m for the first time ever at St Andrews next month, the R&A has announced.
Jordan Spieth is halfway towards an unprecedented calendar grand slam after winning his second major in succession with a thrilling victory in the 115th US Open.
Look back at how Jordan Spieth secured the US Open title at Chambers Bay in Washington.
Shane Lowry sits just three shots off the joint leaders after the third round of the US Open at Chambers Bay making the Irishman Europe's best chance of a fifth US Open victory in the last six years.
After a fine display of ball-striking and putting, Shane Lowry is in uncharted territory as he enters the final round of a major in contention, writes Greg Allen at the US Open in Chambers Bay.
Rory McIlroy expressed his frustration at not getting back into contention for a second US Open title as Jason Day tried to remain there at Chambers Bay.
Shane Lowry is relishing being in contention for a maiden major title after making the cut in the US Open for the first time and sitting just four shots behind joint leaders Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed.
On a day when the course dried out and the random bounces and rolls of Chambers Bay moved to the edge of acceptability, Rory McIlroy suffered more than most after working his way to the fringes of contention.
Chambers Bay proved surprisingly conducive to high scoring in the first round of the US Open, writes RTÉ Sport's Greg Allen.
Sweden's Henrik Stenson carded his lowest score ever in a major as Tiger Woods recorded his highest in the US Open on a first day of contrasting fortunes at Chambers Bay.
World number one Rory McIlroy was frustrated by his putting after an opening round of 72 left him seven shots off the lead in the US Open.
RTÉ Sport's Greg Allen reports from Chambers Bay as the world's top players, including Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell, Shane Lowry and Darren Clarke, prepare for the start of 2015 US Open.
The 115th US Open gets under way at Chambers Bay this afternoon, with Rory McIlroy looking to rediscover his top form and challenge for a fifth major title.
As he prepares his bid for a second US Open title, Rory McIlroy has promised there will be no repeat of the "brain-dead" performance and missed cut he suffered at Muirfield in the 2013 British Open.
Graeme McDowell says he can already picture the celebrations if he wins another US Open title to maintain Europe's recent dominance of the year's second major championship.

StockCall Scrutinizes NII Holdings and Vodafone: Telecom Stocks Offer Long-Term Opportunity PR Newswire LONDON, February 12, 2013 LONDON, February 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The telecom sector features immense competition, along with heavy capital expenditure and capacity build up. Due to these constraints, only companies with excellence managed to survive. Competition may take its toll on any company as evidenced by NII Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: NIHD) which is constantly losing its market value. On the other hand, companies like Vodafone Group plc (NYSE: VOD) has managed to stay afloat despite facing similar issues. StockCall reviewed the solar industry and chose NII Holdings and Vodafone for its technical coverage. These free reports can be seen for free at http://www.stockcall.com/signup NII Holdings Faces Stiff Competition NII Holdings Inc. stock is down 15 percent this year so far. The main catalyst behind the downward trajectory is the company's recent announcement of its feeble outlook for FY2013. NII Holdings expects its 2013 revenue to be in the range of $5.7 billion and $5.9 billion, lagging behind the market estimates of $6.1 billion in annual revenue. It expects its OIBDA in the range of $600 million and $650 million. Download the free research on NII Holdings by signing up now at http://www.StockCall.com/NIHD021213.pdf The company is mainly active in Brazil and sees stiff competition from telecom giants like America Movil and Telefonica. Despite its collaboration with Sprint to represent Nextel brand in Latin America, the company is struggling to gain market share. Other maladies affecting the company are its lower revenue per user, which directly affects its margins. NII Holdings also plans to go ahead with its 3G installation program. However, its rivals like America Movil are already working on LTE infrastructure. Launch of 3G services is also expected to put additional burden on the company's strained finances, and it is looking to spend about a $1 billion on capital expansion this year. However, the company plans to sell bonds to bridge the gap between funds and its capital expenditures. NII Holdings lost about three quarters of its market value in the past 12 months and the stock is trading near its 52-week low. The company expects its customer-base to grow at 'mid-single digit' rate during the year and it may have some positive impact on its stock price. If the company is able to fix its low ARPU problem, we may see some upward movement in the stock. Vodafone Provides Healthy Outlook Vodafone Group recently announced better-than-expected quarterly results. However, its revenue for the third quarter of the year fell 2.2 percent to $18.29 billion. While its revenue in Northern and Central Europe increased, it saw a downfall in revenue from Africa, Asia/Pacific and Southern Europe. It also lost subscribers in Europe. The company is also under pricing pressure. Register for today's free analysis on Vodafone at http://www.StockCall.com/VOD021213.pdf However, Vodafone is planning to upgrade its offerings and infrastructure. The stock has grown 8 percent in the year so far and it offers good dividend yield of 3.75 percent. The company is also optimistic about its future performance as it upgraded its guidance for FY 2014. Vodafone offers a good investment opportunity, thanks to its capital appreciation, dividend payment and generous share buyback program.

My name is Jack Poynter
If you have come to do family genealogical research, you can do the usual MyHeritage sorts of things.
If you are here to do Civil War family research, and suspect that your family stems from one of the four Twiggs County Volunteer Infantry companies, select the Apps tab, then the 'My Pages' tab, then read the Overview page, and then select the unit roster you wish to view. Each line of each roster contains a pointer to the individual's genealogical information, (I know this quit working, MyHeritage says they're working on the problem,) on which you can enter comments or questions. If you would like to contact me, you can contact me at here.
Whatever your reason for coming, please sign the guest book. Select 'apps', then select 'guest book'. Thanks.
This site was created using MyHeritage.com. This is a great system that allows anyone like you and me to create a private site for their family, build their family tree and share family photos. If you have any comments or feedback about this site, please click here to contact me.Our family tree is posted online on this site! There are 6942 names in our family site.The site was last updated on June 30 2015, and it currently has 123 registered member(s). If you wish to become a member too, please click here. Enjoy!
Christy died 7 Dec 2013; sorry I've taken so long to post this. I closed the site last summer because we needed to focus on her illness, treatment of which was in vain. She was diagnosed the first of August with cancer of an unknown origin; she had shown no symptoms whatsoever, and never did until the last few weeks. It is important for those related closely to us to take notice of the fact that a silent killer runs in our family: Her grandmother died of cancer of unknown origin, as did my brother. And I've had cancer twice now, and am currently in remission.
When I contacted MyHeritage to reopen the site, I found that someone had paid to keep it open until 2015. I would like to know who this benefactor was. If they would contact me, I'd appreciate it.
Although I've done verfy little since last August, I intend to keep on painting. You may view these on my facebook page, facebook.com/JackPoynter. God bless and keep you all.
This report shows all the kinship groups in the PoynterFamily database. Each kinship group contains a list oif the Confederate soldiers in the group; each soldier show it's relationship to the olther soldiers; each soldier contains a link to the family tree entry for that person.
Orphans are listed in a separate section.
The report is incomplete, in that some of the planned sections are not yet added.
I've modified the rosters for the Twiggs units so that it's easier to compare the names in the rosters to the names in the database. Most are the same, in some the initials have been expanded, in a few the names are quite different. For instance, 'MELLANA' turns out to be 'MALANEY', following inspection of the actual service records for the man. The rosters are now in alphabetical order, with the first and last names for each roster third appearing in the table of contents.
To view the rosters, click on the 'My Pages' tab, which will bring up the table of contents.
I'm posting this to multiple sites, because most sites on my list are interested in middle Georgia history. To opt out of this sort of post, please leave a comment on this article.


text: The wiki last edited by pikahyper on 04/20/13 05:58AM View full history The phrase "Out of Picture" comes from film terminology - whenever something is cut from a movie it is declared "out of picture," or "OOPed." In the words of one of the creators, "while it can be frustrating to let go of one's ideas, it's the pursuit and exploration of those ideas that can be the most fulfilling. We wanted to share some of our personal ideas outisde of our film work with you - out of picture." The result is a stunning collection of full-color graphic novel short stories that pushes the medium to entirely new heights.

I'm always a little sad the day that I take down my Christmas decorations and this year was no different. The tree, garlands, and wreaths had been deconstructed and our tree had been planted (we buy a bulb tree with the roots in tact so that we can add it into our one day wooded land). When I was finished putting it all away, it felt stark and without personality.
I remember thinking about when we lived in Vail, Colorado and the cozy feeling of Christmas would stay with us throughout the winter. Snow stuck around until May and with it stayed the twinkling lights and lush greenery. I got to thinking about winter decorations vs Christmas decorations. What is it that keeps us feeling cozy and wintry and keeps spirits bright and warm throughout the coldest months of January and February?
A quick scan of Pinterest showcased some of my favorite winter looks. Lots of white, twinkling candlelight, natural branches, antlers, and sheepskins. In my house I began pulling out the sheepskins and draping them on furniture. I put lights under a cloche instead of on a tree. I removed the tartan ribbon from by boxwood wreath only to replace it with an oat colored one. A feeling began to come together that was decisively non-hoiday, but was still warm and sung. I honestly don't even think that having a couple of small evergreens flanking the door would be off base.
There was something about living it the mountains that made all that woodsy decor totally ok during the non-holiday months. I miss that mountain feeling and throughout this week will still make some changes to implement it in my house.
I told you in a previous post about my love for boozy hot chocolate that one day I would tell the story of Matt and My adventure moving to the great west. Today seems like a perfect opportunity because each year the post-holiday time period has me totally missing the mountain life. [Read more…]

The Ten Commandments in the Worlds of 'Star Trek'
The Ten Commandments in the Worlds of 'Star Trek'
By Paul Asay
When Gene Roddenberry created "Star Trek," he pictured a future dominated by science and human ingenuity--without a lot of religion to muddy things up. Oh, sure, Federation crew members met scads of religious sentient beings around the galaxy, but it turns out most were worshipping computers, power generators, or toga-wearing aliens. Roddenberry didn't place a lot of faith in faith.
"Religions vary in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all," Roddenberry once said. "For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain."
So why does "Star Trek" seem to have such a yen for the Ten Commandments?
In giddy anticipation for the new "Star Trek" movie, here are 10 examples of how God's prime directives have found their way into the "Star Trek" franchise.

Rexanna's review
Apr 01, 10
Read in March, 2010
I liked this one even more than the first book in the series. Elvis is a basset hound who believes he is the reincarnation of Elvis Presley. He is as charming as the singer. This is a good book to read anytime you want to try and figure who did it and be amused by the host of characters that could have! Enjoy the chase.

DEFINITION of 'Batch Header Record'
A standard record of information regarding the transfer of a group of data (a batch), usually within the banking field. The batch header record contains information that is crucial for the successful processing of the batch. It identifies the origin of the transaction and summarizes the debits and/or credits involved. When combined with the entry detail records, the batch header record fully describes the transaction.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Batch Header Record'
In banking, the batch header record is used in the automated clearing house (ACH), which is a batch-oriented electronic funds transfer system. To begin, the transaction is given a file header record to identify the origin and characteristics of the file. This is followed by a number of batches, each with its own batch header record.
Although the batch header record is predominantly used in banking transactions, it is also used in other important transfers, such as between businesses, departments and hospitals.

Clinical outcome at ten years after laparoscopic fundoplication: Nissen versus Toupet.
ABSTRACT Laparoscopic surgery has become the elective approach for the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease in the last decade. Outcome data beyond 10 years are available for open fundoplication, with good-to-excellent results, but few studies report long-term follow-up after laparoscopic fundoplication. We performed a retrospective study of all the patients that underwent laparoscopic Nissen and Toupet fundoplications as antireflux surgery between 1995 and 1998 in our institution. To evaluate the long-term results, a face-to-face interview was performed in 2009. One hundred and six patients were included in the study. Surgical techniques performed were Nissen fundoplication (NF) in 56 patients and Toupet (TF) in 50. Complication rate was 4 per cent in both groups (nonsignificant [NS]). Two patients (4%) of NF required reoperation because of dysphagia. After 10 years, 10 per cent of the patients remain symptomatic in both groups. Fifteen per cent of NF take daily inhibitors of the proton pump versus 14 per cent of TF (NS). Twenty per cent of NF refer dysphagia, all of them without evidence of stenosis at endoscopy or contrasted studies. The satisfaction rate of the patients was 96 per cent in NF and 98 per cent in TF. Laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication seems to be as safe and long-term effective as Nissen, but with a lower incidence of postoperative dysphagia. In our experience Toupet fundoplication should be the elective approach for the surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Article: Short-term results for laparoscopic repair of large paraesophageal hiatal hernias with Gore Bio A (R) mesh[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The application of mesh-reinforced hiatal closure has resulted in a significant reduction in recurrence rates in comparison with primary suture repair. One of the most debated issues is the risk of complications related to the use of the prosthesis, such as esophageal erosion and postoperative dysphagia. The aim of this study is to present our short-terms results in the treatment of laparoscopic paraesophageal hiatal hernia (LPHH) with a synthetic polyglycolic acid:trimethylene carbonate mesh (Gore Bio A(®)).International Journal of Surgery (London, England) 06/2014; 12(8).

Article: A Clinical Comparison of Laparoscopic Nissen and Toupet Fundoplication for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Abstract Aim: To compare the advantages and disadvantages of laparoscopic Nissen and Toupet fundoplication in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and their indications. Patients and Methods: From June 2001 to December 2011, 383 patients with GERD were randomized into two groups according to the last number in their hospitalization number. Overall, 215 patients underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication, and 168 underwent laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication. Results: No conversions to laparotomy or deaths were observed, and the symptoms disappeared completely postoperatively in both groups. Average follow-up was 5.6 years. No recurrence of symptoms was observed in the Nissen group. Eighteen patients experienced recurrence of symptoms in the Toupet group and were administered acid-suppressing drugs. Esophageal manometry and acid reflux testing were performed 4 months postoperatively, with normal results in both groups. The cure rate of esophageal inflammation was 88.4% in the Nissen group and 67.7% in the Toupet group. Four days postoperatively, the incidences of dysphagia and abdominal distension were significantly higher in the Nissen group compared with the Toupet group (28.4% and 16.7%, respectively); the difference between the two groups significantly decreased 1 year postoperatively (1.5% and 0.8%, respectively). Conclusions: In the short term, the incidence of dysphagia was significantly lower after Toupet fundoplication, but the difference decreased significantly with extension of the postoperative recovery period. For patients with moderate to severe GERD, the laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication may be optimal; for elderly patients or for patients with significantly reduced esophageal peristalsis detected in preoperative examinations, the laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication should be considered.Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques 04/2013; DOI:10.1089/lap.2012.0485 · 1.19 Impact Factor
Article: Causes of dissatisfaction after laparoscopic fundoplication: the impact of new symptoms, recurrent symptoms, and the patient experience[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Although laparoscopic fundoplication effectively alleviates gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in the great majority of patients, some patients remain dissatisfied after the operation. This study was undertaken to report the outcomes of these patients and to determine the causes of dissatisfaction after laparoscopic fundoplication. METHODS: All patients undergoing laparoscopic fundoplication in the authors' series from 1992 to 2010 were evaluated for frequency and severity of symptoms before and after laparoscopic fundoplication, and their experiences were graded from "very satisfying" to "very unsatisfying." Objective outcomes were determined by endoscopy, barium swallow, and pH monitoring. Primary complaints were derived from postoperative surveys. Median data are reported. RESULTS: Of the 1,063 patients undergoing laparoscopic fundoplication, 101 patients reported dissatisfaction after the procedure. The follow-up period was 33 months. The dissatisfied patients (n = 101) were more likely than the satisfied patients to have postoperative complications (9 vs 4 %; p < 0.05) and to have undergone a prior fundoplication (22 vs 11 %; p < 0.05). For the dissatisfied patients, heartburn decreased in frequency and severity after fundoplication (p < 0.05) but remained notable. Also for the dissatisfied patients, new symptoms (gas bloat/dysphagia) were the most prominent postoperative complaint (59 %), followed by symptom recurrence (23 %), symptom persistence (4 %), and the overall experience (14 %). Primary complaints of new symptoms were most common within the first year of follow-up assessment and less frequent thereafter. Primary complaints of recurrent symptoms generally occurred more than 1 year after fundoplication. CONCLUSIONS: Dissatisfaction is uncommon after laparoscopic fundoplication. New symptoms, such as dysphagia and gas/bloating, are primary causes of dissatisfaction despite general reflux alleviation among these patients. New symptoms occur sooner after fundoplication than recurrent symptoms and may become less common with time.Surgical Endoscopy 03/2013; 27(5). DOI:10.1007/s00464-012-2611-y · 3.31 Impact Factor

Video marketing grants you the advantages and the unique capabilities to better connect with guests and turn them into your clients; hence, essential to the promotion of a business or sales. Although long text of sales copy do promote companies or sales, its promotion is not as high and as fast as whiteboard video.
Here are three main reasons why using animation is superior to sales letter.
Expanded Reach
Expanded reach is one of the most significant advantages of using video marketing. Unlike text-based content, video offers you access to free and enormous traffic such as Vimeo, Daily Motion, and YouTube. It is among the most cost-efficient ways of getting the word out about your sales. It is easier for users to embed videos you generate into their sites and share them via social media or email than use written content. Moreover, studies show that users prefer using video content to text-based content.
Gives Life to the Customer Testimonials
Displaying customer testimonials is vital to not only bolstering your credibility but also increasing the likelihood of guests becoming your clients. Although written testimonials are better than no testimonials at all, video testimonials are far much better than written testimonials. Video testimonials are not easy to fake; thus easing suspicion about using stock photos and companies manufacturing testimonials, which are frequent in the text-based content. Besides, video testimonials are a lot more personable as compared to the written testimonials. Justin Nassiri, an employee at VideoGenie, approximates that the average time a user spends to watch them is 100 seconds, which is a fascinating deal of time as compared to the cursory glances he/she gives to the written testimonials.
Add Personality into your Sales Messages
Whiteboard animation connects with viewers on an emotional level, build trust and add personality into your brand. Most written copies come off as sterile and boring, which is unlikely to happen in video marketing. Your guests desire to trade with someone they like, trust and know. Regardless of being a genuine business that offers outstanding products, unless you avoid hiding behind an anonymous web copy and corporate logo, you are likely to blend in with mediocre competitors.
