25 Great Places to Eat Outside In Atlanta Right Now – Atlanta – The Infatuation
You already know about Atlanta's weather: once March comes around, you're in for six solid months of warm to hot to "I'm sweating just thinking about going outside" temperatures. And while you'll be wearing a sweater inside most of that time as your coworker makes it a morning tradition of turning down the thermostat, the rest of it will be spent eating and drinking on a patio outside. Here are 25 of our favorite places to do that.
This Post: 25 Great Places to Eat Outside In Atlanta Right Now – Atlanta – The Infatuation
The Spots
If you found a spot on the Fox Brothers patio, you're either willing to eat at off-hours or you've got more patience than a Game of Thrones fan who refuses to watch the show until the final book is published. But once you do finally get a chair, you'll be ready for an order of smoked wings, some baby back ribs, and tater tots covered in Brunswick stew. It's all-the-more perfect when accompanied by the smoke off their BBQ pit just a few yards away, even if it's merged with some light exhaust fumes coming off the Dekalb Ave traffic.
Anis, located in a house on a Buckhead side street, is the best place to get a little wine drunk outdoors while eavesdropping on old ladies discussing the new hairdresser at the pet spa. The patio, with a charming but somewhat haphazard collection of potted plants and tools, is what we imagine our garden would look like if we decided to move to Provence and drink champagne outside all day. Get the mussels or the croque monsieur for lunch and add a bottle of wine before canceling the rest of your meetings for the afternoon.
The smart people at Ammazza know the simple equation that brings a crowd: good pizza and beer. Add the fact that the tables on their sunny patio can seat up to 12, so you can expect your entire kickball team to show up after practice in Old 4th Ward Park. The pizzas here are topped with local ingredients, like spicy soppressata that's made down the road at The Spotted Trotter. They even make some of their pizzas using homemade cashew "cheese," so your vegan friends can enjoy the trifecta of pizza, beer, and sunshine too.
The Lee + White complex on the West End stretch of the Beltline is kind of like an adult playground where you can wander with open containers from brewery to cidery to distillery, visiting tasting rooms and patios while maximizing your day drinking. Eventually, though, you'll want to break up the beverage crawl with some food and that's when you head to the Boxcar patio for a lobster roll, some chicken liver pate, or yuzu fried chicken. When you're ready to get back to drinking, Boxcar has almost 80 draft taps, 30 wine-by-the-glass options, and a cocktail menu mostly made up of spirits from the neighboring ASW Distillery. They also have a "beer cave" with 1,000 packaged beers and 800 bottles of wine, which are both excellent goals to aim for in your own basement.
Dead End Drinks (formerly known as Ration and Dram) is a great place to keep in your back pocket – it's easy to walk-in for cocktails and snacks or an all-day brunch. Right on the border of Edgewood and Kirkwood, this spot has two outdoor seating options – a patio with picnic tables and a second-story porch. The snacks, like poutine and burrata with roasted garlic, are the best way to go, though if you're here for brunch, get one of their dressed-up versions of fast food favorites, like the McDowell, which is basically an egg McMuffin.

Located at Krog Street Market, Bar Mercado is a Spanish restaurant with a large, shaded patio that will immediately become part of your warm weather rotation after your first visit. This tapas spot serves great brunch dishes like crispy artichokes, banana bread, and Huevos a la Flamenca, along with bottomless sangria and mimosas. The food here is also super photogenic, so feel free to join everyone else in taking photos of your order, or just have another mimosa and strategize with your friends about how you can make your apartment look more like this place.
Your ideal vision for spending a Saturday outside may not include sitting on a patio stuck between two parking decks in Midtown, but somehow, Cypress Street makes it work. There aren't a lot of good outdoor options in the area, which makes this neighborhood spot, with its patio and solid burger, a winner for a work lunch or Happy Hour.
Poor Hendrix is a neighborhood spot in Decatur with a great patio and a food menu full of things that go great with drinks, like charcuterie, meat skewers, and grilled cheese with tomato jam. They also have a separate bar menu, where you can get things like salmon tartare with potato chips for under $10. Stop by for a few drinks and a snack, or for a whole meal before you head out for the night, but either way, try to get a spot on their back patio when you do.
Much like the Deadpool movies, or double prizes in a box of Cracker Jacks, the two patios at Beetlecat are better than one. This seafood restaurant is one of the most popular places to eat and drink outside in Inman Park, but you can usually find a spot on one of the patios to have a few tiki drinks and some oysters, even if every person walking by on the BeltLine suddenly has the same idea.
Bone Garden Cantina has one of the largest patios in West Midtown and as soon as spring hits, this place is always packed. Besides the outdoor seating though, this Day of the Dead-themed restaurant serves some of the best Mexican food in the city, along with specialty margaritas and agave cocktails that help stave off the heat once it gets hot enough that you debate going outside before the sun sets. There's always a wait, but just use the extra time to look over the huge menu (make sure to try the braised goat tacos) and grab a drink.
We've definitely been on a few weekend group texts when someone chimes in with, "Let's go to the BeltLine, and then let's go to Ladybird!" Once the weather warms up, this spot becomes one of the most popular patios in the city. It's dog friendly, has an outdoor bar inside a vintage camper for when it gets really crowded, and has a cute lodge theme that always makes us nostalgic for camp, or Moonrise Kingdom. Besides drinks, they serve food too, with snacks like pimento cheese fritters and homemade jerky, and larger options like the backyard BBQ board for when everyone from your group text decides to join.
If you're looking for an all-day (and night) patio, check out 8Arm around the corner from Ponce City Market. This bar and restaurant spends the first half of the day as a coffee shop and brunch spot, where you can order things like breakfast sandwiches and smoothie bowls, before switching to a dinner menu at 6pm. The best time to come here, however, is for the late-night l8arm menu, which includes everything from a $70 porterhouse to a blueberry cobbler and is available nightly until at least 12:30am. Stop by for a few drinks on the patio, and if hunger strikes, this is the best place in the area for a second dinner.
Yes, Shake Shack. With a huge rooftop space overlooking the city, there's no better spot in Buckhead to enjoy a cold beer and some classic crinkle-cut fries. Since opening in 2014, Shake Shack has had a line out the door, which makes sense since their burgers, custard concretes, and beers are three things we always want once winter is officially over.
This French-inspired bistro in Inman Park is the perfect place to enjoy a coffee and croissant for brunch, or a cocktail on a warm afternoon. Either way, we recommend you do it from the porch that overlooks Elizabeth Street. While not exactly French, quaint, or delicate like Bread and Butterfly's name suggests, the burger is what you should get here when you want more than just a snack. It's topped with gruyere, caramelized onions, and whole grain mustard, and will immediately replace whatever you were hungry for when you walked in.

KR Steakbar is an Italian steakhouse that you should go to on a date, with a friend, or just when you're especially hungry, so you can avoid the conundrum of, "Do I order steak or pasta?" You want both, trust us. Besides the food though, it's KR Steakbar's location and outdoor space that keeps bringing us back here. Located between a string of galleries and a park in Peachtree Hills, the entire area is largely shaded by trees, which makes its patio one of our personal favorites. It's quiet and you can eat spaghetti with clams and a ribeye outside while still staying cool. What's not to like?
When you're looking for a comfortable patio to drink a few margaritas on, head to Bartaco on the Westside. It's spacious, has a fireplace for when you refuse to wait until it's spring to sit outside, and you can order tiny tacos and rotisserie chicken as you debate the merits of frozen vs. non-frozen margaritas with your friends.
There are plenty of great Thai places in Atlanta, but none of them has a better patio than Bangkok Station in Buckhead. It's the kind of outdoor space that makes you feel like you might be in the patio section of Restoration Hardware, or on a boat that a friend of a friend invited you on and you're not sure how you got there. Go to Bangkok Station with a group and have a few tropical cocktails on the patio, along with some boat noodles and massaman curry while you're at it.
Located inside an old gas station in Decatur, Leon's Full Service is somewhere that you and your friends will start your Saturday, and then end up staying at the entire day. This laid back spot is a great place to play some bocce ball, snack on some hummus and french fries, and make your way through their list of seasonal cocktails. They have two patios to choose from but both fill up fast, so get here early if you want access to the sun.
JCT Kitchen & Bar opened more than a decade ago, and while the downstairs dining room is fine for when it's cold out or your allergies are peaking, their rooftop patio bar has one of the best views in the city. Besides great cocktails, the bar also serves small plates and shareable dishes like fried chicken in a bucket, along with the JCT burger from downstairs, which really makes the patio the best of both worlds.
Inside Ponce City Market, there are 30 different places you can eat at, but only a handful of them share the patio space in the center of the complex. Choosing between Bellina Alimentari (Italian), W.H. Stiles Fish Camp (seafood), Botiwalla (Indian), Jia (Chinese), and Minero (Mexican) is no easy task, but thankfully you really can't go wrong.
On top of Ponce City Market – next to the mini-golf course and carnival games of Skyline Park – you'll find 9 Mile Station. This rooftop beer and wine garden has a great view of downtown and is a great spot for just about any occasion we can think of. Food-wise, they serve everything from cheese and charcuterie boards, to Alaskan cod with salt and vinegar chips, so regardless of what you're drinking, there'll be something that you can claim pairs well with a beer, cocktail, or glass of wine.
Fellini's has seven locations around town – most of which have their own patios – so you're never too far from one. With its fountain, neon signage, and haphazardly strung patio lights, though, the Ponce location is our personal favorite. Fellini's also makes some of the best pizza in Atlanta, especially their thick crust Sicilian pies.
More secluded and private than most patios in town, Barcelona Wine Bar in Inman Park is where you should go when you want to drink some wine outside and finally start planning that trip to Spain you've been putting off. There's an outdoor fireplace and lots of wine to choose from, along with tapas and paella, all of which should inspire you to finally book a flight, or just start coming here regularly.
Edgewood's Georgia Beer Garden has more than 100 different local beers and ciders and their big back patio is the perfect place to spend the warmer months working your way through the list. They also serve things like sausages, sandwiches, and fries topped with chorizo and Kung Pao sauce for when you're a few pints in. Between the backyard, drink selection, and food, this place will quickly become one of your go-to spots.
Annie's Thai Castle isn't here to impress you with its patio, but when you want Thai food last minute and would prefer to eat it outside, this is where you should go. The small patio only has six or so tables, but if you're lucky enough to score a seat outside, it's a great spot to watch people make their way to the Buckhead bars across the street. Everything on the menu is solid, but the curries, soups, and especially the basil rolls are a good starting point.

|MH-260 Her Space Holiday - XOXO, Panda And The New Kid Revival
Putting some space between himself and the computer that has provided the basis for so much of his recent work, Marc Bianchi has taken the last two years to focus on what got him into music in the first place, writing connective songs and working out the layers of sound he hears in his head. The results are a new persona, XOXO, Panda, and the reinforcement of the feelings of personal and artistic freedom that drive his music. Loose and carefree arrangements of guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, shakers, glockenspiel, and drums lay the foundation for vocal storytelling sing-a-longs. XOXO, Panda And The New Kid Revival is a brilliant calling card for Her Space Holiday's newly awakened alter-ego, and a watershed moment in his growth as a songwriter and performer.
|Reviews Summary
|Guitar pop songs that are as charming as they are simple - Rolling Stone / That he can switch up styles so frequently and make solid records says something special about Bianchi - Pop Matters / Melodies have that wonderful undefinable quality that makes you want to hear them over and over... Killer indie pop cuts - Babysue
|Hipster pop with all the proper accouterments. Children's instruments, tight harmonies administered with snark and the rest of the package. It's kinda like eccentric conformity. But the thing is, I like the songs. They are wrapped up in cellophane, but somehow the soul comes out anyway. - Aiding & Abetting

Workshop presentation
Globalization has seen increasing integration of markets and the development of a global economy, with inevitable consequences for labor relations. The re-allocation of global resources, opening of new markets and concomitant restructuring of industry has generated new jobs. However, unequal distribution of the economic benefits of globalized production markets has created a widening gap between rich and poor. Many are concerned that increased international competition has led to reduced bargaining power of labor and a 'race to the bottom' in terms of wages and employment conditions.
The current global financial crisis has added to the complexities of the globalization debate. How to coordinate labor relations and to ensure the protection of labor rights in the context of the current crisis are critical questions for government, business, trade unions and civil society. It is imperative that these actors work together to face the challenges ahead. Employment regulation, trade unions, corporate social responsibility and civil society organizations all have a major role to play in ensuring the maintenance of labor rights the face of global economic recession. Those of us charged with safeguarding the rights and interests of workers recognize that it in order to do so it is also important to ensure the growth and stability of the public and private sectors.
China and Europe have distinctive histories and cultures and will develop different approaches to moving forward through the current crisis. In China, the government has been actively promoting employment and major legislative reform to the social insurance system is in process to ensure social security. In Europe, where the welfare system is well-developed, trade unions are at the forefront of providing a strong voice for workers.
Despite their inherent differences, China and Europe need to work together, not only on the reconstruction of economic order but also, critically, on the protection of labor rights. Such collaboration requires greater dialogue and engagement. At such a moment in history, direct communication between China and Europe becomes very important. In this Workshop, the two parties will make full use of an open and multi-level forum to actively and effectively explore the theme of 'protecting employees'.

The festival of Holi is celebrated by playing with colors and having a lot of fun with loved ones. After playing an exciting, yet tiresome Holi, people would head towards the kitchen to get their hands on the sweets and thandai prepared especially for the day. Thandai is a refreshing drink that is a specialty of Holi. It soothes the mind and cools the body. The drink is a great stress buster as well, because it contains some of the cooling agents of nature, such as watermelon and rosewater. Go through the article and check out an easy recipe of Thandai.

Communion Partner Bishops small in number and small minded.
The website for the Communion Partner Bishops lists 19 bishops as members. Twelve bishops signed the statement. It is hard to say what significance this reduction in numbers means, but there are some differences worth noting.
Eight bishops, James Adams, Jr., Aldan Hathaway, Mark Lawrence, Gary Lillibridge, David Reed, Ed Salmon, Don Wimberly and Geralyn Wolf, all members of the official list, did not sign.
There is one new signature: Bishops Francis Gray.
The valiant 19 are now the noble 12.
Here is what they had to say,
"March 19, 2010
It is with profound sorrow that we, the Communion Partner Bishops and Rectors, express our deepest regret to our brothers and sisters in the Anglican Communion for the action of the majority of the diocesan bishops and standing committees of the dioceses of The Episcopal Church in voting to consent to the consecration as a bishop of a woman living in a sexual relationship outside Christian marriage.
Unfortunately, where restraint was respectfully requested by the leadership of the Communion, it has been ignored. Where the General Convention has counseled study of the Anglican Covenant, this action has rendered that counsel moot.
Therefore, we disassociate ourselves from this action and grieve the state of separation that exists in The Episcopal Church and Anglican Communion.
This separation is a witness to the need for the Anglican Covenant as the means through which dioceses and congregations in The Episcopal Church can affirm their commitment to the Anglican Communion."
Lest we forget or are too lazy to notice, the Communion Partner Bishops once again are making the argument that (i) The Episcopal Church is unwilling or incapable of following through on the Anglican Covenant process leading to a meaningful vote on affirmation of the Anglican Covenant, and (ii) it therefore rests with parishes and dioceses to affirm the Anglican Covenant themselves in order to express their commitment to the Anglican Communion.
The bishops state that the election and consent to Bishop elect Glasspool renders the counsel that TEC study the Anglican Covenant, expressed in 2009 GC, resolution D025, moot. But of course that is malarkey.
What the election and consents do is express the reality of our synodical life that must be brought to bear on the analysis of the several sections of the Anglican Covenant. What the election and consents do is help us understand that the restrictive nature of the Covenant lies not in its own wording, but in its historical rootedness in the Windsor Report and the intended or unintended consequences of its mechanisms for adjudicating concerns that arise in the Communion.
Interestingly the Windsor Report is not mentioned in the final text, nor is moratoria, moratorium, restraint, etc. But the whole of the text is meant to address matters growing out of the "Windsor Process," the process of examination of what it means to be Anglican that grew out of the recommendations of the Windsor Report. This is why the whole of the Anglican Covenant material is included in the section of the Anglican Communion website called, "The Windsor Process."
The consequences of signing the Anglican Covenant would indeed bring back the Windsor Report request for moratoria in that the adjudicating body, namely the new Anglican Communion Standing Committee, would be strongly urged to use the continuation of the moratoria on ordination of partnered gay or lesbian clergy to the episcopate and blessing of same sex relationships, as a basis for determining inclusion or exclusion from the Communion. At the same time the moratorium on cross boarder incursions would be effectively ignored.
Far from rendering the study of the Anglican Covenant moot, the decision by a majority of bishops and standing committees of The Episcopal Church to consent to the election of Canon Glasspool opens up a conversation about the Windsor Process itself and the bazaar use of the Anglican Covenant as a litmus test for true allegiance to the Anglican Communion.
The Communion Partner Bishops, small in number, is making a small minded point.
Let's get on with the discussion of the merits of the Covenant and its intended and unintended consequences. Let's not be taken in by the attempt to make the Anglican Covenant a mechanism for asserting minority purity in the face of majority decision. The Anglican Covenant is either for the whole of TEC, or for none of it. Of course dioceses will stand for or against it, but not now. Now is the time for consideration of the issues. General Convention is the time for decision, by all of us.

Pondering what I'd truly like to say to the Communion "Partner" Bishops calls to mind a scene from the classic film "The Wizard of Oz", wherein Auntie Em says it faaaar better than I could!ReplyDelete
"Almira Gulch, just because you own half the county doesn't mean you have the power to run the rest of us. For twenty-three years I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you, and now, well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it."
Hmmm.... I wonder why the eight bishops didn't sign. Perhaps they did not want to give the appearance of signing themselves out of the Communion.ReplyDelete
It is embarrassing to see them literally groveling. Does anyone have a spare purificator? I fear Their Graces have excrement on their noses!ReplyDelete
Has Bp. Lawrence withdrawn from signing such statements also?ReplyDelete
The consent to Mary Glasspool's election -- two months before the deadline -- makes clear that TEC is already moving ahead. The CP bishops can gnash and wait as long as they want, but the bishops, clery, and laity have already moved ahead.ReplyDelete
Personally, I am deeply grieved to read that Bishop Gray signed this hideous statement. Makes me reconsider what I believed of him.

Bishop have the honesty to leave the Anglican Communion. You are so narrow minded that I dare say there is no place for you in the Communion.ReplyDelete

Duh! Where y'all been? The CPB insist on parish and diocese control but when the diocese males a decision they say "Well, we didn't mean that." It has been time3to dismantle that group since I first wrote about it years ago.ReplyDelete
OK... Comments, gripes, etc welcomed, but with some cautions and one rule:
Cautions: Calling people fools, idiots, etc, will be reason to bounce your comment. Keeping in mind that in the struggles it is difficult enough to try to respect opponents, we should at least try.
Rule: PLEASE DO NOT SIGN OFF AS ANONYMOUS: BEGIN OR END THE MESSAGE WITH A NAME - ANY NAME. ANONYMOUS commentary will be cut.

text: Our Walt Whitman tea blend is inspired by his beautiful nature imagery in Leaves of Grass, especially the poems he wrote about roots and herbs. In one of his memoirs, Whitman describes a man who "express'd a great desire for good, strong green tea." This blend is an earthier and more mature variation on Simpson & Vail's Lemon Ginger Green Tea. It combines an unobtrusive green tea base with the earthiness of ginger and eleuthero roots and the sweetness and acid bite of lemon (with lemongrass, lemon peel, and lemon flavoring). Ingredients: Organic Green Tea, organic ginger root, organic lemon peel, organic eleuthero root, organic lemongrass and natural lemon flavor. Certified Kosher Brew tea at 180º - steep for 2-3 minutes. 1 Ounce of loose tea makes approximately 10-12 cups of tea.

|"Artow thanne a bailly?" "Ye," quod he.

We want you to feel comfortable seeing your psychologist here at the Good Mood Clinic. Here is a guide on what to expect and how to prepare for your therapy appointment.
Opening Hours
|Clinician Appointment Times
|Monday to Thursday
|9.00am to 5.00pm
|9.00am to 4.00pm
|By Appointment
|Reception Open Times
|Monday to Thursday
|8.00am to 4.00pm
What to Expect
During your first one or two appointments, your therapist may spend the majority of the time gathering information about your current difficulties and background. You may also be asked to complete one or two questionnaires.
There is usually no standard treatment duration and the number of consultations required to get the changes you want will vary from person to person. However, after the assessment has been conducted your psychologist can give you an informed estimate and discuss your options with you.
In our experience, those who do well are those who can set aside time to put new skills into practice, who implement the new skills outside of session and who openly discuss any difficulties they may be having with treatment so your psychologist can help with problem-solving. Our psychologists are equipped to assist you with both short-term and longer-term support and therapy.
As a general guide, short-term skills-based therapy may usually be around 6 – 10 sessions, whereas therapy which helps you identify and begin to resolve longer-term or more deeply ingrained beliefs can require a longer commitment and it is common for clients to attend for between 6 months to 1 year. This is a realistic time frame for people wanting to make a significant change and break long-term patterns.
FEES (January 2022)
Dr Justine Corry – $450 per session
Dr Gemma Gladstone – $400 per session
Payment options include direct deposit, credit or debit card.
Medicare Rebates
Some people may be eligible for a Medicare rebate. If you have been referred with a Mental Health Care Plan from a GP or Psychiatrist, you are eligible for a rebate of approximately $129.55 per session for up to 20 sessions in a calendar year. You may be eligible for more rebateable sessions, this will depend upon your particular situation and can be discussed with you in conjunction with your doctor.
Private Health Fund Rebates
If you are a member of a private health fund offering rebates for psychological services (usually under extras / ancillary cover), then you may be able to claim a proportion of the fee – subject to your level of coverage. You may need to check these details with your specific health fund, as some health funds now require that their members first utilize the rebate provided through medicare. However, it is important to remember that a medicare referral is something which needs to be initiated by your medical health care professional for a mental health condition. It is, therefore, best to check with your health fund first, and also to discuss referral options with your doctor. This practice currently does not have HICAPS.
Please note: If you have been referred by a doctor and you are claiming the Medicare rebate (under the MBS) for your sessions, you cannot use your private health insurance ancillary cover to top up your Medicare rebate. If you are in this position, you need to decide whether you use your private health fund cover or Medicare, as you cannot use both at the same time. However, if you do have appropriate private health insurance, you will be able to make use of
This Practice adheres to the Psychologists Board of Australia Code of Professional Conduct http://www.psychologyboard.gov.au Your personal details, as well as the material you discuss in sessions, are treated with the utmost respect and kept in strict confidence.
In certain uncommon circumstances, mandatory reporting legislation or valid subpoenas require that confidentiality may be breached. For example, if your psychologist were to receive a court summons, then they would be legally obligated to deliver all relevant notes to the court without further reference to you.
If you require more information about these issues please ask. If you have been referred by your Doctor, then he/she will be sent one or more brief reports concerning your treatment, as this is a routine requirement of the new Mental Health Care Plan procedure. However, any other personally identifying correspondence about your condition or treatment (between this practice and other health professionals or organizations) requires your consent.
The smooth and effective running of this practice also depends upon your courtesy and co-operation regarding attendance and the keeping of therapy appointments. As you can appreciate, it is very important that you allow sufficient notice if you are unable to keep your appointment for any reason.
The reason why we have a cancellation fee is that when you book an appointment, that time slot has been set aside for you and only you. It is not possible to fit another client in at the last moment, and consequently, the practice must bear the brunt of that fee.
In this matter, we reply upon your courtesy and hope that you let us know in advance if your plans change. Please note that cancellation fees apply to all cancellation circumstances but can be avoided by giving adequate notice.
- If you give less than 3 working days (Monday to Friday) notice, then a 50% cancellation fee is incurred. For example, if your appointment is on Tuesday then notice is required on Thursday.
- If you give less than 2 working days (Monday to Friday) then a 100% cancellation fee is incurred.
These cancellation fees have been set in accordance with the guidelines of the Australian Psychological Society (APS). Please note that cancellation fees will not be eligible for the Medicare rebate. Your co-operation in these matters is greatly appreciated.
For more information or to book an appointment please contact us today.

One common symptom of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in adults is a recurring headache that comes and goes within a one year period. These headaches can be caused by fluid buildup in the head resulting from a head injury, changes or damage to the brain caused by the injury, or neck and skull injuries that may not have fully healed yet.
The headaches experienced by patients of a TBI can be temporary or permanent depending on the severity of the headache and other factors that may be considered as the root cause of headaches. After suffering significant trauma to the brain, patients are usually given CT scans to make sure that there is no bleeding in the brain. Other tests and scans on the brain can also be done to pinpoint the exact problem that is causing the headaches.
The pain experienced by patients who have undergone treatment or surgery for traumatic brain injuries differ from case to case. Some patients even experience a combination of two or more types of headaches after suffering from a head injury. There are many types of headaches that patients with TBI can experience, but the most common types are:
Traumatic Brain Injuries should not be ignored no matter how small the injury seems. The headaches experienced by patients who have had a head injury may be an indication that there is something terribly wrong happening inside the patient's skull. To avoid developing complications, it's always better to seek the opinion of a doctor to check and see what the root cause of the headache is for proper treatment.

Mon mari is a bit of a purist when it comes to grilling.
Well, when it comes to grilling the premium (for us) cuts, anyway.
For lamb chops, veal chops, or the occasional steak he prefers just a sprinkle of salt and a drizzle of oil.
I'm free to marinate or brine chicken breasts or pork chops.
We compromised on these lamb chops: simple grilling with a flavorful mustard-basil butter to finish.
If you want it, that is….
Grilled Lamb Chops with Dijon-Basil Butter
Total time: 20 minutes
- 4 – 6 center-cut lamb chops – depending on size
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbs chopped fresh basil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Dijon-style mustard
- 2 tbs soft butter
- Sprinkle chops with garlic powder, drizzle with oil and allow to sit until ready to cook.
- Cook on barbecue grill over medium-high – high heat for 2 – 5 minutes per side.
- When you think they might be close take one off, cut into center and peak. You can always put them back on to cook more – you cannot undo…
- When done to your liking remove from heat, divide basil butter to top each chop and serve.
- Dijon-Basil Butter:
- Put garlic and basil into a small bowl, add mustard and butter and mix well. Can be made ahead, shaped into a log, chilled and sliced before putting on chops.
If you are looking for a little more spice you could try Chinese Chicken Seasoning…. I know – it says 'chicken' but it really could be used on any grilled meat.
More ….
The top drawing is the house as we bought it. It was listed as a 4-bedroom house, although we have it on good authority that the middle bedroom was where they kept chickens.
The little kitchen was a later addition (we think) as it isn't part of the original house but juts into the barn.
Note the 2 little bathroom rooms. As is typical of old French houses the toilet is in a separate room from the shower. We were told that the indoor plumbing was added in the '60's and both rooms were tucked into what had been the large, double front door entrance to the house.
The bottom drawing is of our plans for the ground floor (with bedrooms on the first floor).
We combined the 2 bathroom rooms into one bathroom, opened up the hall, put in a staircase to the first floor and put an opening from the kitchen into the hall.
First on the agenda was to tear down the walls between the bathroom rooms and open it up to the hall.
The two little rooms were papered and tiled totally differently.
Second was to put in a toilet….
I was getting tired of using the bushes in the corner at the back of the house.
Winter was starting so the next thing we needed was heat. We weren't living in the house but we needed to be able to work in it to get it to the point that we could live in it.
We decided to put a wood-burning stove in what would be the kitchen and take out the radiator that was hogging wall space for cabinets. At the time the furnace wasn't working and we didn't know if it ever would..
We needed to find the old hearth of the fireplace that had been walled over. (Arrow)
And then open it up……
And reinforce the floor, put down some bricks and a few other things.
By the first f January, 2009, we had a toilet and heat.
We were ready to start the serious work.

Top 5 Cheap Crossbows

Poll reveals striking divide on Obama
President Barack Obama's approval ratings during his second year in office were the most partisan and polarized of the first two years of his presidency, with nearly a 70-percentage-point gap in how Republicans and Democrats evaluated his performance.
Obama's approval among Republicans averaged 13 percent, while Democrats' approval of Obama's second year averaged 81 percent.
The 68-point differential is the fourth-largest on record, behind years four, five and six of George W. Bush's presidency, when the partisan gap was 70 to 76 points. Gallup's data reaches back to 1954-1955, Dwight D. Eisenhower's second year in office.
Before Obama, only Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton saw partisan gaps of more than 50 percentage points during their second years in office. Between January 1982 and January 1983, Reagan's approval averaged 79 percent among Republicans and 23 percent among Democrats — a 56 percentage point difference. Clinton's approval averaged 19 percent among Republicans and 73 percent among Democrats between January 1994 and January 1995, a 54-point margin.
Just as a large partisan divide didn't stop Reagan and Clinton from winning second terms, small gaps between Democrats' and Republicans' approval of a president haven't guaranteed reelection.
The smallest partisan gap during a president's second year came for Jimmy Carter, when his approval was 28 percent among Republicans and 57 percent among Democrats — a 29-point difference.
Gallup's analysis of Obama's second year is based on its daily tracking polls conducted between Jan. 20, 2010, and Jan. 19, 2011. The poll is based on a random sample of 178,864 adults, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percentage point.

1935S U.S. Texas Commemorative Half Dollar
Beginning with the Columbian Exposition in 1892 and continuing into the 1950's the U.S. Mint produced what collectors today refer to as "Classic U.S. Commemoratives". Each coin was legal tender and thus has a denomination. Many of these were issued over several years and may have more than one date and mint mark. The Texas Centennial series is one such series and was issued from 1934 - 1938 with the 1935 through 1938 examples minted at Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco.
The Texas commemorative design is one of the most complex and intricate designs of the classic commemorative era. An eagle standing boldy with the Lone Star in the background on the obverse and the allegorical figure of winged victory on the reverse are inspiring symbols of the Texas fight for independence.
This 1935S Texas Commemorative has stunning luster and virtually no marks. A brilliant example of this beautiful coin.

Advancing the performance capability and safety of our customers for over 125 years.
For more than a century, Gentex Corporation has been a leader in personal protection and situational awareness
At Gentex, we're constantly evolving and making news with our innovative solutions that raise the industry standard.
22 July 2009
CARBONDALE, PA (July 22, 2009) – The U.S. Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) awarded GENTEX Corporation of Carbondale, PA a $1.8 million contract for the production of Developmental Test units for the Enhanced Combat Helmet (ECH) program.
The purpose of the accelerated ECH acquisition program is to develop the next generation combat helmet that will eventually replace the currently issued USMC Lightweight Helmet (LWH) and U.S. Army Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH). The ECH will maintain the current headborne weight while providing a 35% increase in ballistic protection against fragmentation. This dramatic performance increase provides a clear advantage over current combat helmets. The ECH must successfully pass a battery of ballistic, non-ballistic and user trials before being fielded to Soldiers and Marines.
The ECH program is an important step forward by the U.S. Government to enhance protective systems for our Warfighters. It will rapidly move advanced product development into field use in a very short period. The GENTEX ECH Team along with other established helmet producers have been involved in a number of efforts to address this urgent operational requirement for increased ballistic protection; having those efforts mature into a major Government initiative is very beneficial to the Warfighter.
GENTEX' ECH design incorporates advanced processing and material technologies including DSM Dyneema's latest unidirectional (UD) composite. DSM Dyneema is a technology leader in high performance materials and a valued member of the GENTEX ECH Team. The new materials and processing technologies pioneered by the ECH program will not only increase ballistic protection without compromising the integrity of the current helmets, but will also facilitate future advances in head protective systems.
"GENTEX recognizes that today's Warfighters operate in extremely complex threat environments that require increasingly higher levels of protection," stated Erik Balascik, Force Protection Product Business Manager at GENTEX. "We take pride in our ability to rapidly innovate and transition highly 'fieldable,' advanced solutions, to our military partners and are pleased and honored to be given the opportunity to participate in this highly visible and accelerated program."
GENTEX is a recognized world leader in the design, development, and manufacture of integrated systems for soldiers and pilots that require advanced helmet systems, ballistic and laser protective eyewear, electro-acoustic devices, oxygen masks, and chemical and biological protective systems.

Report Of The Committee Of The Connecticut Asylum For The Education And Instruction Of Deaf And Dumb Persons Creator: 1817
Introduction: The founders of the Connecticut Asylum—like most educators of the deaf during the antebellum years—saw their primary goal as saving the souls of deaf children. This goal reflected the influence of the Second Great Awakening and, in particular, religious reformers' hope that social reforms would help to bring about the Millennium.
Editor's Note: This is an Abridged Text of the Report. It does not include names and ages of the residents or the audit of expenses.
IT will be very gratifying to the patrons and friends of this institution to learn, that through the blessing of a kind providence, [View Annotation Text Below – 1 »] its doors are now opened, notwithstanding the numerous obstacles and disappointments which have been encountered from the commencement of our labours. A numerous and interesting family of the unfortunate are already assembled, and we behold those minds which were like a waste hedged about with thorns, now yielding to the cultivation of science, and daily affording promise of abundant intellectual improvement. Are any still skeptical on the subject of promoting the happiness of the deaf and dumb by education? Let them visit the Asylum, and behold the social circle in the evening hour, delighted in exhibiting those first rudiments of learning which they have already acquired. And let the Christian look forward with a humble hope, that many of these immortal souls may not only be rescued from intellectual darkness, but that they may also be brought to a knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus, and finally be found among the redeemed of the Lord. It cannot be expected that any very interesting details respecting the pupils, should at this time be communicated: but it may be of use to record, in a very brief manner, the origin and progress of that institution, which takes the lead in this western world, in the instruction of those who have hitherto remained neglected and forgotten.
About two years since, seven persons met in this city, and appointed a committee to solicit funds to enable Mr. Gallaudet to visit Europe, for the purpose of qualifying himself to become an Instructor of the deaf and dumb. The generous promptitude with which means were furnished, put it in his power to embark soon after for England. Not meeting with a satisfactory reception at the London Asylum, he went to Edinburgh. [View Annotation Text Below – 2 »] Here new obstacles arose from an obligation which had been imposed upon the institution in that city, not to instruct teachers in the art for a term of years; thus rendering unavailing the friendly desires of its benevolent instructor, and the kind wishes of its generous patrons. After these repeated disappointments and discouragements, in which, however, let us behold a providential hand, Mr. Gallaudet departed for Paris, where he met with a very courteous and favourable reception from the Abbe Sicard, [View Annotation Text Below – 3 »] and soon commenced his course of lessons in the establishment over which that celebrated Instructor presides. An arrangement made with Mr. Laurent Clerc, himself deaf and dumb, one of the professors in the institution of Paris, and well known in Europe as a most intelligent pupil of his illustrious master, enabled Mr. Gallaudet to return to his native country, with this valuable assistant, much sooner than had been expected. By this circumstance, a new zeal in the cause was excited, in some measure commensurate with the more favourable auspices under which the interests of our Asylum now appeared. They arrived in this place in August last, and soon after visited some of our large cities, for the purpose of soliciting funds for the establishment; with what success, may be learned by referring to the treasurer's account connected with this report. Many instances of individual munificence will be found recorded in the list of donations. The patrons of this institution need not our thanks: they have a higher gratification in the reflection, that they have contributed to the means which are now using, for shedding light upon many an immortal mind, which, but for their munificence, might otherwise have remained in darkness. We solicit their prayers that the means they have furnished may be so blessed as to promote the cause of Christ, and the eternal welfare of those who are here benefited by their bounty.
In May, 1816, the legislature of this state passed an act incorporating this institution; and in October last, made a grant of five thousand dollars in aid of its funds.
The establishment was opened on the 15th April, and it already contains upwards of twenty pupils, whose names are subjoined to this report. A number of them are of full age, some of whom have expressed much interest at the attempts which have been made, as yet in a very imperfect manner, to explain to them some of the simplest doctrines of revelation. When we look back we have surely cause for abundant gratitude to God for what has already been accomplished: and although we have to lament that our means are altogether inadequate to the support and instruction of those pupils who are in indigent Circumstances, [View Annotation Text Below – 4 »] let us look forward with humble confidence that HE, by the word of whose power the dumb spake, can prepare the way before us, and will, if he see fit, make use of this Asylum as an instrument, not only to increase the temporal happiness of those who may become the objects of its care, but to communicate to them a knowledge of himself, as their only Saviour, and of those mansions of rest, where all will equally rejoice in the participation of happiness without imperfection, and without end.
Hartford, June 1st, 1817.

Art. 7. The Directors shall meet in Hartford ten days after they shall have been chosen, and then by their own adjournments through the year.

1. Mason Cogswell and other backers of the asylum raised thousands of dollars from private donors and obtained thousands more via a charter from the state of Connecticut.
2. Thomas Gallaudet visited the Braidwood Academy in Edinburgh, which was a for-profit school that focused on teaching deaf children to speak.
3. Sicard was the foremost educator of the deaf in France. Unlike the Scots, Sicard taught his students using sign language.
4. The asylum eventually began admitting students whose families could not pay tuition or room and board. State funding paid for such students.

Watch Stephen Curry, Chris Mullin battle each other in Pop-A-Shot
Published November 30, 2019 05:00 AM
Who ya got for all-time Golden State Warrior Pop-A-Shot king:
Stephen Curry or Chris Mullin?
Curry — still out with a fractured hand — was on the Warriors pregame show Friday and took on Mullin in the ultimate test of any pure shooter, Pop-A-Shot. Curry had to go one handed (his right, shooting hand) because there is still a cast on his left hand, so Mullin did the same. Curry won, and neither player really went with the tried-and-true bank-it-in strategy.
Somewhere you know Rick Berry was watching and saying, "I would beat both of them, and I would shoot underhand."

When attempting to improve the performance of your Cost Per Action (CPA) campaigns, you've probably come across the same typical advice again and again. Choose your network wisely, select only the top selling offers, go for offers that don't require a lot of time or effort and pay attention to the stats to make sure the offer is worth all the hard work – this information you probably already know. The following are a few unorthodox techniques that are sure to provide the sustenance to help you truly beef up your CPA campaign.
Get The Scoop
Your CPA network affiliate manager might be able to help you improve your CPA campaign. Get to know this person and pick his or her brain, if they'll allow you to. These managers know what's selling and what's not. They have the information you need to get ahead. It all starts with a friendly message saying hello.
In addition to communication through email, pay attention to the network's emails (if applicable). These can include invaluable information on the latest offers, success stories and tips for improving your cost per action campaigns. Your network wants you to succeed, as does your affiliate manager. Use this to your advantage by asking questions and mining for any data you can use to ultimately reach your CPA goals.
It's common for CPA affiliates to want to do everything on their own; but why do that when you can get others to do the work for you? Outsourcing your CPA work to platforms like Elance and Odesk can not only free up your time, but you'll be able to tap into the abilities of experts to make your cost per action campaigns something to behold.
As the old saying goes, "Jack of all trades, master of none." Instead of coding your own website, actually hire a coder. A graphic designer can develop your website's aesthetics, your content can be written by a freelance writer and your SEO can be expertly managed by a search engine professional.
All you have to do is sit back and oversee the creation and administration of your CPA campaign, and of course count all the money that flows in.
Whether you hire a single outsourcer or an entire team, you'll love the free time it gives you and you'll probably wonder why you didn't turn to cost-per-action outsourcing sooner.
Video Marketing With A Twist
Come up with a CPA marketing video that's sure to go viral. That may sound like a tall order, but think along those lines if you want to give your videos the added boost they need for maximum exposure. Use humor, celebrity lookalikes, current events or something wild and zany; anything that will leave an impression on viewers' minds, and one that will cause them to hit that share button, blasting your video far and wide.
Improve Competitor PPC Ads
If you have the budget, start advertising your CPA campaign by using pay per click ads, only don't start from scratch. Find your competitors' ads by searching for relevant search terms in Google and borrow their materials to come up with precision targeted PPC ads for your cost per action landing pages.
Analytics And Testing
You may have heard the following advice before, but it bears repeating. Pay attention to your analytics numbers and test every aspect of your campaign to find the perfect combination your audience will respond to.
For example, Google Analytics has a feature that allows you to see exactly where on your pages your visitors happen to bail out. If you notice that your visitors are leaving halfway down your page, before they have a chance to convert to your CPA offer, you can then test other blocks of content to go on the latter half of your page until your conversions increase.
That is just one example, of course. Test your offers, your landing pages, the color of those landing pages, your content, titles, and even your calls-to-action. If you don't test, you'll never know if the CPA campaign you are focusing on is hitting its target just right.
So when you find yourself facing a CPA campaign that isn't getting the traffic or conversions you would have hoped, it's time to put these unusual tips into practice. Get to know your network manager, outsource the really important job to the experts, try your hand at viral marketing and borrow your competitors' PPC ads to make yours extra precise. Finally, study your analytics data, test and alter accordingly for a truly beefed up cost per action campaign.

Asset seizure is a form of confiscation by the state and applies to alleged proceeds related to criminal activity. The purpose of this confiscation is to disrupt any criminal activity that is funded by the assets. These assets can be in the form of cash, bank accounts, real estate, vehicles, jewelry or computers in your home. There are strategies to defend against asset forfeiture, and an experienced asset forfeiture attorney can assist in your defense.
Defense Strategies
Every case is different, and your defense should be built on the specifics of the charges against you. The most common asset forfeiture defense strategies are:
- Affirmative Defense: If a person's assets were seized without the individual having knowledge of or being involved in criminal activity.
- Proportionality Defense: This defense uses the language of the Eighth Amendment to argue that the forfeiture is disproportionate to the alleged crime.
- Illegal Search and Seizure: Based on the Fourth Amendment, if law enforcement failed to obtain a warrant for the search or seizure of property, the forfeiture could be avoided.
The law provides a very small window of time to argue against asset forfeiture. In Georgia, you have thirty days from the day you received notice of the forfeiture. You must prepare a claim stating why your property should not be subject to seizure. This claim must be sent to the specific agency in charge of the seizure, as well as to the state District Attorney.
The laws surrounding asset forfeiture connected to a criminal proceeding are confusing and can lead to permanent loss of your property if you do not have experienced counsel on your side. Jeff Manciagli has years of experience concerning asset forfeiture and can help direct you in the best defense for your situation.

Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember information or to record the user's browsing activity. They can also be used to remember arbitrary pieces of information that the user previously entered into form fields such as names or addresses.
Other kinds of cookies perform essential functions in the modern web. Perhaps most importantly, authentication cookies are the most common method used by web servers to know whether the user is logged in or not, and which account they are logged in with. Without such a mechanism, the site would not know whether to send a page containing sensitive information, or require the user to authenticate themselves by logging in.
Tracking cookies, and especially third-party tracking cookies, are commonly used as ways to compile long-term records of individuals' browsing histories – a potential privacy concern that prompted European and U.S. lawmakers to take action in 2011. European law requires all websites targeting European Union member states gain "informed consent" from users before storing non-essential cookies on their device.
(i) BL2 S.r.l. as the data controller, informs the user that information regarding the use of the site through cookies is collected. When a user visits the site, we send to his device cookies that are stored uniquely by his browser.

text: To the Latter-day Saints the Book of Abraham is scripture. It is a record originating with the ancient Patriarch Abraham and translated by the Prophet Joseph Smith, beginning in 1835.
