On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the show kicks off with Kyle trying out a new ion-infused water, which he claims is far superior to Cam's usual choice. The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as they reminisce about the days when Gatorade still came in glass bottles. The episode then dives into the strange and mysterious. First, a bizarre incident involving an unknown creature—possibly a Bigfoot—repeatedly knocking on and even urinating on a listener's front door. Neighbors have also reported similar odd occurrences. Next, an Alabama woman and her son encounter something eerie on their property. As they explore outside at night, they hear a mysterious clicking sound, and their flashlight beam is suddenly "blocked" by an unseen entity. Another story recounts a family mystery dating back to 1957 in North Carolina, where a young girl may have encountered two time travelers while on the road between Reidsville and Greensboro. Then, things get even stranger when a New Yorker, driving home from Baltimore, Maryland, experiences something inexplicable on I-83. As they approach Harrisburg, PA, the truck ahead of them vanishes, and they suddenly find themselves 50 miles back in Maryland. After the break, Kyle dives into the world of vampire lore. While the classic portrayal of vampires—like those in Bela Lugosi's films—are pure entertainment, Kyle explores real-life vampire sightings that have been reported for centuries, with stories continuing into modern times. Finally, Cam shares an intriguing story about a woman seeking answers to her unsettling encounters with an unknown entity. All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

Today we listen to a conversation that began at the North Carolina Hospital Association's winter meeting between Bamboo Health Senior Director of Growth, Ellen Solomon, and CHESS Director of Value-based Operations, Rachel Holder. Ellen and Rachel get together for the podcast to continue the discussion on the topic of Navigating Value-based Care through Real Time Intelligence.RH: Thanks so much, Ellen, for joining us today. So can you give us a really brief introduction about yourself, your role, and tell us a little bit about Bamboo Health?ES: Yeah, sure. Thank you so much for having me, Rachel. It was great getting to chat with you at the North Carolina Healthcare Association winter meeting. But for folks that don't know me, my name is Ellen Solomon. I'm senior director of National Health System growth at Bamboo Health. I've been here for six years and I currently live in Charlotte, but I always love calling out to my North Carolina customers. I was born and raised in a small town of Reidsville, NC And so in terms of what we do, folks in North Carolina may remember us as patient ping or Appriss Health. We've since come together and rebranded as Bamboo Health back in 2021. And I'll first start again with sort of who we are at a very high level and then I'll go into North Carolina as well as obviously how we work with you guys, Rachel. But in one sentence, Bamboo Health is an intelligent care collaboration network across all 50 states. The problem we work to solve is that as you know better than me, healthcare was built on silos. Those silos could be the EMR that you use, your geographic location, state lines or the setting of care, whether that's acute post, acute, ambulatory. And those silos make engaging patients and coordinating care in real time very difficult. And even more difficult when you're actually trying to bend the cost curve and improve patient outcomes like readmissions, Ed utilization, post acute length of stay and many others. And so in short, I compare Bamboo Health to expedia.com. You have all these hotel chains, you have all these airline companies that are competing for your business. They operate their own platforms, their own tools and they don't really want to share with each other. But Expedia brings them together in a really simple way and that's where Bamboo Health sits. And so today in North Carolina, we support our customers really in three use cases. The first one which we'll drill into more I believe in, in this discussion and how chess uses Bamboo is we enable value based care use cases through our engaged admission discharge and transfer or ADT network. And in North Carolina specifically over 80% of the hospitals in the state participate. We have over 800 post acutes, over 50 provider organizations. And this actually started back in 2017 when we partnered with NCHA who's really been instrumental in helping us build out this ENGAGE network. That network does extend to all 50 states. Secondly, we partner with the state of North Carolina as well as 45 other states to support prescription drug monitoring or PDMP program to help continue to curb the opioid epidemic. And then lastly, we're rolling out a behavioral health referral network also known as BH scan in the state. So I think the, So what their common thread between all those use cases is it's real time actionable and through an engaged network. And so Rachel, I know when we spoke at NCHA, Chess has been such a long standing bamboo partner. You all have really been with us from the beginning. I'd love if you could share more about some of the challenges you're hearing from your value partners as they're transitioning into more risk and value based care.RH: Yeah. Thanks so much Ellen. So I think gone are the days that just a high AWV rate and some...

GDP Script/ Top Stories for April 5th        Publish Date:  April 5th            From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Friday, April 5th, and Happy 73rd Birthday to singer Abba. ***04.05.24 – BIRTHDAY – ABBA*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett County Public Schools. Fatal Altercation at Buford Residence Results in Death Buford Man Faces Charges for Allegedly Strangling Roommate to Death Using TV Cable and Knife Phillips State Prison Inmate in Buford Faces Charges for Constructing and Sending Explosive Devices All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: GCPS DISCOVERY STORY 1: Gwinnett Police: Man Killed During Fight At Buford Home Gwinnett County police responded to a "trouble unknown" call in Buford, where they found a man dead at a residence on Ivy Birch Way. The call came in at 1:45 a.m. after a witness reported hearing distressing sounds. Upon arrival, officers noticed signs of a physical altercation on one of the occupants. Subsequently, they discovered the deceased man inside the house. Detectives suspect an argument among the occupants escalated into a fight. They are interviewing a person of interest. Police stated they are not seeking suspects outside the home. The victim's identity will be disclosed after notifying the next of kin. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact GCPD detectives or Crime Stoppers anonymously for potential rewards. STORY 2: Gwinnett Police: Buford Man Allegedly Used Television Cable, Knife To Kill Roommate Nineteen-year-old Erik Ruiz Lopez from Buford is accused of strangling and fatally stabbing his roommate during a physical altercation at their north Gwinnett home. The victim's identity has not been disclosed by police, but it's confirmed they shared a bedroom. Officers responded to a call reporting trouble at the residence and found the victim's body upon arrival. Ruiz Lopez allegedly choked the victim unconscious with a TV cable before returning with a knife to stab him multiple times. Detectives have interviewed Ruiz Lopez, and the victim's identity will be released once next-of-kin are informed. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact detectives or Crime Stoppers anonymously for a potential reward. STORY 3: Inmate At Buford's Phillips State Prison Charged With Building, Mailing Bombs David Cassady, a 55-year-old inmate serving a life sentence in a Georgia state prison, has been indicted for allegedly constructing and mailing bombs to two federal buildings. He purportedly built the bombs while incarcerated at a state prison in Reidsville and sent them to a federal courthouse in Anchorage, Alaska, and a Justice Department building in Washington, D.C. Charges against him include making an unregistered destructive device, mailing destructive devices, and attempted malicious use of an explosive. The case is under investigation by multiple law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the U.S. Marshals Service, the FBI, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and the Georgia Department of Corrections. The indictment was issued by a grand jury in the Southern District of Georgia.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We'll be right back.   Break 2: TOM WAGES   STORY 4: His Shot At The Olympics — Dacula's Will Hinton Qualifies for Summer Games In Trap Shooting Will Hinton, a 28-year-old Dacula native and a staff sergeant at Fort Moore, has qualified for the Men's Trap competition at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris. Despite being behind in the trials, he managed to secure his spot by defeating 121 other shooters in Tucson, Arizona. Hinton's teammate, Rachel Tozier, also earned a spot in the Women's Trap category. Hinton credits his mental training and determination for his success. He plans to continue training rigorously and bet on himself for a shot at the gold medal. Hinton, who began shooting at a young age, will compete with his own weapon, a 12-gauge Krieghoff K80. He intends to continue competing as long as he remains competitive and enjoys the sport. STORY 5: U.S. Rep. Andrew Clyde Wants Investigation Into Mail Delays in Georgia U.S. Rep. Andrew Clyde is demanding an investigation into mail delivery delays caused by issues at the new Regional Processing and Distribution Center in Palmetto. Clyde has called on USPS Inspector General Tammy Hull to conduct an audit, citing an increase in complaints from constituents since the facility opened. He blames USPS's poor planning for the delays, which have led to disrupted mail delivery operations and impacted residents' lives, including delayed bill payments and medicine deliveries. Clyde's demand for accountability follows similar calls from Sen. Jon Ossoff to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. He expects a preliminary response within 30 days of his letter.   We'll be back in a moment.   Break 3: INGLES 3   STORY 6: Georgia United Credit Union Names New Chief Strategy Officer Georgia United Credit Union has appointed Adam Marlowe as its new Chief Strategy Officer to oversee marketing, product development, and member advocacy efforts. Marlowe brings extensive experience from his previous roles at credit unions, including as Chief Operating Officer at Powerco Federal Credit Union and various positions at Georgia's Own Credit Union. With a focus on enhancing the member experience, Marlowe's strategic leadership aims to drive corporate vision and innovation at Georgia United. His appointment reflects the credit union's commitment to growth and community service.   STORY 7: State PSC members could avoid voters for years as meter runs on Georgia Power rate hikes A federal lawsuit filed in 2020 by plaintiffs, including Brionté McCorkle of Georgia Conservation Voters, seeks to change the way public service commissioners are elected in Georgia, arguing that the current system disenfranchises Black voters. Amidst this, a proposed delay in state utility regulator elections until 2025 has sparked controversy. Critics argue this postponement denies millions of Georgia Power customers their right to elect representatives who oversee utility rates. The delay is seen as an attempt to extend current commissioners' terms, exacerbating concerns over rate increases and environmental decisions. While proponents of the delay cite the need for staggered elections for continuity, opponents, including McCorkle and former PSC candidate Patty Durand, view it as a tactic to maintain the status quo. The situation underscores broader debates over electoral fairness and utility regulation in Georgia.   And now here is your Guide weekly health minute.

We're thrilled to have Coach Nicole Woods sit down for a great conversation looking back on her first season leading the UNCW women's basketball program, and the work they're already putting into build for 2024-25. We went all the way back to her childhood in Gastonia, summers on a farm in Reidsville and how her competitive spirit was developed playing every sport imaginable at the Boys & Girls Club. After nearly having a promising basketball career derailed by knee injuries, a chance conversation landed Woods at Belmont Abbey where she needed time to grow up off the court becoming a Hall of Fame-caliber player. Plenty of those lessons have come in handy since she began her coaching career as an assistant focused on building relationships with her players — and one she never thought would lead her into a head coaching job. She explained what changed her mind and led her to take over in Wilmington, the foundation her first team put down, and her approach to bringing a team along after several years of uncertainty. Finally, she details her approach to the transfer portal and recruiting, how a tweet might ultimately land a recruit, and marketing with #OurBeachIsBetter.

On this episode, I spoke with the pastor of my home parish, Fr. John Putnam, on how to make a parish holy.During our conversation, we covered:- Fr. Putnam's story- Why St. Mark's offers confessions multiple times a day, every day- How St. Mark's ended up offering perpetual adoration- The importance of the Mass- Why altar servers are a big part of every Sunday liturgy- How a parish can foster vocations in a real way- And much more...Biography:Father  John  Putnam has been the pastor of Saint Mark Catholic Church since 2015.  He was ordained to the priesthood by the late Bishop John Donoghue, the second bishop of the Diocese of Charlotte, at St. Patrick Cathedral in Charlotte on May 30, 1992.

When it comes to protecting flood-prone areas, large-scale infrastructure is often costly and slow. So, some communities are choosing to fight against flooding in their own backyards.

Some people do so much good work for others, you have to wonder how they find the time, volunteering just comes so easy. Then some people take it to a whole new level! Tina Fischlin is definitely one of those rare people who do so much and still make it look easy! We are going to talk about a couple of the organizations she is an integral part of today: Alliance for Smiles & Rotary International. Tina grew up in Reidsville, GA, which is right in the middle of Vidalia onion country! Her parents owned property at Lake Sinclair, so the family spent a lot of time in the area. Loving the lake area, she and her husband bought property here in the early 90's and built their first home in 1995, just before the Atlanta Olympics in 96. She has lived here full, or part time, ever since. Having a long-term perspective, she gives us some fun insight into what it was like here BEFORE all the growth occurred. Tina serves on the Board of Alliance for Smiles, an incredible organization that provides hope and a new life for people, a lot of them children, born with a cleft lip or pallet. She is in the trenches, leading missions all over the world! She'll tell us about what they do, the challenges they face and the enormous rewards from performing these operations. And she'll give us a couple of real life stories that will touch your heart! We will also talk about Rotary, from an international perspective, with over 1.4 million members worldwide, continually serving in nearly every country, as well as from a local level, and the work that happens right here in the Lake Area. Even though you are probably aware of Rotary, you may not know the extent of the work that they do, locally and around the world. This amazing organization led the effort for decades to eradicate polio, which for the most part, has been accomplished. At the same time, locally Rotary makes an impact assisting the community with everything from helping to feed local people to building handicap ramps for someone who may not otherwise have that option. Tina has served Rotary locally for many years, including President, but also at the District Level, serving as District Governor! Tina is a “get it done” person and if you need something done, you want her on your team!

Sherry Rosen had a feeling something bad would happen when she spotted five kids playing by the bank of Ellison Lake Wednesday evening. As she left for dinner around 5 p.m., Rosen called Kennesaw police after she saw one of the teenagers had walked onto the ice at the edge of the lake. When she got back home at 7 PM she saw dozens of fire trucks and police cars, and knew her worst fears had come true. Two 16-year-olds had fallen through the ice in the lake. While rescue personnel were able to successfully save one teen, the other died, Cobb Fire confirmed Thursday. According to Officer David Buchanan, a Kennesaw Police Department spokesperson, officers were dispatched to the scene around 5:09 p.m. Wednesday, arriving at approximately 5:20 p.m. Kennesaw police and Cobb County police were able to rescue one of the teens from the water before Cobb County Fire arrived, according to the fire department. But the second teen was not located and pulled from the water until approximately 6:50 p.m. Rescuers attempted to resuscitate on the bank of the lake before transporting him to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Four rescue personnel were treated for cold exposure, Cobb Fire said, and have been released from medical care. Surface water temperatures at Ellison Lake were recorded as low as 28 degrees, and rescuers were in the water for up to an hour and 20 minutes, according to Cobb Fire. One rescuer was taken to the hospital for hypothermia treatment, and another suffered abrasions during rescue efforts. Sheltering Grace Ministry, a nonprofit which provides services to pregnant mothers experiencing homelessness, is relocating its headquarters to Cobb County. The group announced this week it has sold its East Point location and will soon welcome clients to a new office on Franklin Gateway. An open house for the office is scheduled for next month. In operation for the last 16 years, Sheltering Grace Ministry says its aim is to provide shelter and support for homeless pregnant women, including life skills training to help women emerge from poverty. The organization is currently in the process of obtaining a new property where it can build a series of small homes to house expecting mothers, per a news release. Currently, Sheltering Grace Ministry has six staff and board members along with a team of volunteers. The open house at the new Marietta location will be held from 12 to 6 p.m. on January 16, at 1180 Franklin Gateway, Suite 100, near Delk Road. Most bills the General Assembly passes each year take effect on July 1. But a smattering of new laws enacted during the 2022 legislative session will kick in this Sunday, Jan. 1, including a bill making it easier for food trucks to do business and several new or expanded tax credits. The food truck legislation does away with a current requirement in Georgia law that food truck operators obtain a permit and inspection in every county where they do business. While the tax credit bills technically became effective last summer, they don't really become reality until New Year's Day, the beginning of the tax year. Three of the measures create new income tax credits. House Bill 424 will provide a tax credit to Georgia taxpayers who contribute to nonprofit organizations that help foster children about to age out of the foster care system. More than 700 young men and women age out of the system each year. Senate Bill 361, which was championed by Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan, will provide a dollar-for-dollar income tax credit on contributions to public safety initiatives in the taxpayer's community. Law enforcement agencies will be able to use the money for police officer salary supplements, to purchase or maintain department equipment and/or to establish or maintain a co-responder program.  Senate Bill 87, the Jack Hill Veterans' Act, honors the late state Sen. Jack Hill of Reidsville, who died in 2020. It provides income tax credits in exchange for contributions to scholarships for service-disabled veterans through the Technical College System of Georgia Foundation. Another bill that will take effect on Sunday, Senate Bill 332, also known as the Inform Consumers Act, is aimed at preventing criminals from selling goods stolen from retail stores on any online marketing platform. It establishes financial and contact information requirements for high-volume sellers to online marketplaces and requires such platforms to establish an option for consumers to report suspicious activity. Pebblebrook High School's marching band is in New Orleans for one of college football's marquee matchups this weekend. The Mighty Marching Machine is one of the bands invited to play the Sugar Bowl contest between Alabama and Kansas State. Led by Director Eulas Kirtdoll, the band is performing in both the parade and game Saturday afternoon. The band reported on Facebook Thursday they'd loaded up their buses before dawn (call time was 4 a.m.) to make the trek down south. Later that day, they said they'd arrived safely in the Big Easy and were gearing up for Saturday's showcase after performing at Jackson Square downtown. After fundraising for months in the lead-up to the weekend, the band was helped along by a $15,000 donation from Atlanta's Witherite Law Group. This isn't the school's first rodeo on the national stage. In 2018, the band trekked to Chicago to perform in the city's Thanksgiving parade. The parade was yesterday, processing down Decatur Street along New Orleans' French Quarter and ending at Canal Street. The Sugar Bowl, meanwhile, will kick off at noon today and will be broadcasted on ESPN.   A procession of cars snaked down Ben King Road in Kennesaw Wednesday night as dozens of families came to revel in holiday lights. With hundreds of thousands of lights twinkling in the darkness, Lights of Joy remains one of Cobb's best light shows — including a tunnel of lights for holiday photo-ops. Lights of Joy can be found at 1510 Ben King Road and has been open every night from 6 p.m. until 11 p.m., with free admission. Its final night will be January 1, New Year's Day.   Amani Johnson scored 15 points to break the Kennesaw State Division I career scoring record as the Owls raced past Coastal Georgia 109-53 on Thursday at the KSU Convocation Center. Johnson, who broke the mark previously held by Alexis Poole, finished with her first double-double of the season, also dishing out a career-high 13 assists. The Owls also set a program record for points as six players finished the night in double-digits. Jah'Che Whitfield had a game-high 19 points, Bre'Lyn Snipes scored a career-best 16 points, Lyndsey Whilby and Keyarah Berry chipped in 11 points each and Stacie Jones added 10. The Owls will be back in action Monday as they face the Eastern Kentucky University Colonels. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews      -            -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com                      See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Families and individuals visiting Woodstock Funeral Home who are grieving the loss of a loved one will find that there is a kind and calming presence there with them to show support. Ginger, an 8-year-old red standard poodle, was adopted in February 2020 by Paige Fowler-Ogle from Georgia Poodle Rescue, a nonprofit in Alpharetta run by Deborah Blatchley. Fowler-Ogle is the location manager at Woodstock Funeral Home, where Ginger is a regular. The first thing Ginger does is greet the individual or family at the door. Ginger then walks with them to the office, where she usually sits with Fowler-Ogle and the individual or family who are setting up the funeral arrangements. During this time, she will show her support by letting the person or family pet her, hold her, sit with her — any way she can help, Fowler-Ogle said. Sometimes, Ginger will also walk and sit with families at the viewing, giving emotional support to children and adults. Ginger is not the first poodle in the Fowler-Ogle household, though she is the first to show this level of understanding and support, her owner said. Since Fowler-Ogle became the location manager a little over a year ago, Ginger has been by her side every day at the office. Ginger often wears a bow that matches her owner's outfit for the day, which is always a topic of conversation with  visitors and adds to the welcoming feel of the funeral home, Fowler-Ogle said. Fowler-Ogle also paints her dog's nails. Fowler-Ogle said she knew Ginger would be perfect in this type of environment after seeing her dog's kindness to her young son. The duo recently visited Manor Lake assisted living in BridgeMill in Canton, where Fowler-Ogle said Ginger was “a big hit.” A Marietta man has been indicted after authorities say he drowned a cat in Cherokee County this summer. Austin Hedgeman is charged with one felony count of aggravated cruelty to animals, according to an indictment filed December 12. The indictment charges Hedgeman with causing a cat's death by drowning around July 6. In an arrest warrant filed July 6 by the Cherokee Marshal's Office, officers say Hedgeman caused “physical pain, suffering or death to an animal” July 3 and could be heard on a recording saying he held the cat down “until he stopped moving.” Authorities say the drowning was at a southwest Cherokee County home, near Woodstock. Court records show the marshal's office originally charged Hedgeman with a misdemeanor count of animal cruelty but the charge was upgraded to a felony. Hedgeman was arrested July 6 and released July 8 on a $1,000 bond, according to the Cherokee Sheriff's Office. He has a hearing scheduled for January 11, according to court documents. An indictment is a formal charge of felony offenses, and defendants are assumed innocent until proven guilty. Northside Hospital is the first hospital system in the United States to receive Maternal Levels of Care Verification from The Joint Commission, the commission and the Georgia Department of Public Health announced. Northside Hospital also is the first in the state to receive a Level IV Maternal Center Designation from DPH. The United States has a higher maternal mortality rate than many other developed countries. Georgia is taking action to help improve care for women and newborns. It is one of a handful of states to review risk-appropriate care and the first to collaborate on a program with an accreditation organization. In 2022, DPH announced a partnership with The Joint Commission, recognizing its MLC Verification program. The program, offered in collaboration with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), is a verification process that involves an on-site comprehensive review of a hospital's maternal capabilities and policies, as well as a level of maternal care determination. Through the partnership, hospitals may seek the optional Maternal Center Designation with The Joint Commission's MLC Verification program. For details on the designation process, visit dph dot Georgia dot gov. Most bills the General Assembly passes each year take effect on July 1.

A major sprinkler pipe burst in the ceiling of the office of DV Pediatrics on the morning of December 24, resulting in major damage to the entire building. Although firefighters quickly responded and turned the water off around noon to limit the damage, the damage has prompted a long-term closure for repairs, DV Pediatrics announced. Repairs are estimated to take four to six months. Until they have a working office space, DV Pediatrics will provide home visits, or house calls, phone consultations and telemedicine appointments for sick patients. The pediatric office said the staff are doing everything possible to provide the same level of healthcare services for the families they care for. #CherokeeCounty #Georgia #LocalNews           -          -          -          -          -          -          The Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast is local news for Woodstock, Canton, and all of Cherokee County. Register Here for your essential digital news.             This podcast was produced and published for the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger and TribuneLedgerNews.com by BG Ad Group     For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com/    https://cuofga.org/   https://www.drakerealty.com/   https://www.esogrepair.com/                         See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Best known as the frontman of North Carolina alt-country outfit American Aquarium, singer/songwriter B.J. Barham has spent much of his career delivering rugged, earthy roots rock in the vein of Whiskeytown and Drive-By Truckers. A native of Reidsville, North Carolina, Barham formed the group in 2005 and, over the course of a decade, built American Aquarium's reputation from regional up-and-comers to acclaimed, internationally recognized act thanks to records like 2012's Jason Isbell-produced Burn. Flicker. Die. and 2015's Wolves. Inspired by the November 2015 terrorist attacks at a Parisian nightclub, Barham -- who was, at the time, on tour in nearby Belgium -- quickly wrote a new batch of acoustic-led songs that would eventually become Rockingham, his solo debut. In early 2016, with co-producer Bradley Cook, he and a handpicked crew of musicians recorded the new material in a couple of marathon sessions. The album was released later that year, earning positive reviews. Barham toured as a solo act as well, hitting all 48 states in the continental United States during the spring and summer of 2017. ~ Timothy Monger, Rovi Stay Grateful!!
