This was the first proscuitto and asparagus recipe I ever made, and I can't say we were terribly impressed with my first attempt. The prosciutto I buy is quite thin but rather large, and I soon discovered that there was WAY too much proscuitto for each spear - it was way too salty, it overwhelmed the taste of the asparagus, and it took so long to crisp up that the asparagus got soggy. We much prefer it when I just use a very thin ribbon of proscuitto per spear, or better still, use the 'Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus' recipe on this site, which uses a thicker ribbon of proscuitto and a little blob of cream cheese per bundle of spears.(For 5 stars, simmer the spears in boiling salted water 'til they turn bright green, immerse in iced water, then proceed with the recipe. It will stay beautifully crisp and green)
I wrapped my asparagus spears in posciutto that was smeared with cream cheese. I baked the goodies in an oven at 450 for 10 minutes and served. I wrapped the prosciutto and cream cheese around a few asparagus spears (2 or 3). It was outstanding.
I made these for a housewarming party and all the guests raved! I did add a small dollop of cream cheese to the prosciutto as I wrapped,and this held everything together nicely. I also only used half a piece and it was plenty. Yum Yum!

In the week after Emily returned home she told John that she had dreamed about him. "You weren't in the dream but I could feel that you were somehow apart of it," she said over the phone.
It was five in the morning when John picked up the phone. He had not been able to sleep much that week and when he answered, Emily was surprised by how awake he sounded.
"What are you doing?" Emily had said.
"I'm sorry for waking you up," she said.
"Not at all, I actually feel quite awake already."
Emily had dreamed that she was on the roof of her apartment in Chicago. "It had been blown off. The wind tore everything up—the windows, the door frames, the walls, my furniture. I was laying there in my bed while it happened. Then all of a sudden, I sat up and looked at the moon. It felt so close like it was hovering over the edge of the building. The more I stared at it, the more it seemed to move closer while I couldn't move at all. I don't think I wanted to."
"That's funny," John said.
"What's so funny about it?"
"That you would dream of something like this."
"I suppose so."
This is the feeling you get when you lose everything John wanted to say, but didn't.
"Did you sleep okay?"
"It was okay."
The conversation died for a minute. After telling him about the dream, they didn't have much else to talk about or wanted to talk about it. To fill the gaps, he said, "I miss you."
"I miss you too," she said, "What are you going to do the rest of the day?"
"I don't know yet. It's still early. But I'll try my best to stay busy and be productive."
"Are you still feeling down?"
"Somewhat. But what can you do about it?"
"I suppose nothing."
"Just go back to sleep hm?"
John said good night and placed the charger into the phone before setting it back on the window sill.
There had been on wind at all in the past few weeks. The winter this year was cold and silent. While Emily had found it peaceful, John had found it stifling. He had wished it would rain at least, to break up the monotony, even just for a day. But nothing had happened and things stayed calm.
John turned the pillow onto its cool side and turned over so that he was now sleeping with his back facing the wall. He always felt more comfortable sleeping on his right shoulder. Knowing that there was a solid mass behind him made him feel secure. Sleeping with nothing but wide open space behind him made him uneasy. It made his shoulders tense. He put him in a state of constant expectation, as though some apparition, which never came, would appear behind him.
A slender ray of sunlight was forming along the edge of the bed where John lay. He got up and pulled the blinds down and went back to bed. He could never sleep for long when there the room was lit.
John drove out to Denny's at around noon. It was Sunday and every table was filled. A congregation of church goers were waiting in front of him in the lobby. The were a group of elderly women in long flowing pink, black, and beige dresses. John stood by the window and realized how shabby he appeared next to them. He had not bothered to shower that morning and dandruff dotted the back collar of his wool coat. One of the women, wearing an elegant and understated netted satin hat, noticed John observing them. She looked at him and smiled.
"Happy holidays," she said.
"Happy holidays too," John said and smiled back.
He unfolded his arms and put his hands into his jean pockets and tried not to look so tired. He was aware of how he looked when he was in his moods.
"It's a lovely day isn't it," the woman said.
She turned back around and looked outside at the parking lot.
"It is. It's warm. It feels like winter's almost going to end already," John said.
"Oh I know. How wonderful would that be. The cold makes me feel older than I really am," the woman said.
Seeing the waiter come back into the lobby, she adjusted her hat.
Janice table for five," the waiter said while grabbing menus from the reception counter.
The group of women stood up and followed him to their table.
"Well, it was nice meeting you," the woman said.
"It was nice meeting you too. You ladies enjoy your lunch," John said.
"You too," the woman said.
John got a seat at the bar counter. He ordered a breakfast slam: two eggs over easy, two pieces of bacon, two pancakes, and a coffee. Between bites, he kept his gaze on the frenzied activity going on in the kitchen. Their movements were a whirl in front of the sizzling flat top. Seeing them work, there was no room for thinking.
It was in the stillness that John's mind wandered; he had little mental self-control over their direction and knew he would be plagued by doubts and confusion for the rest of his life. Even though he knew this he was at least aware of it but like his reawakening psoriasis, the tricky part was in learning how to live with it. Once that established, things would be fine.
Feeling full he pushed the last few bits of food around his plate. The syrup had drifted into the ketchup in the corner. The punctured egg yolk was with the whipped butter. He thought about Emily in bed with that other man. What did they talk about in their conversations? How many nights had it been? How many drinks had it taken? How was it different than being with him? Which of the nights that she had said to him "goodnight baby" did it happen on?
John had lost. He believed that it was human nature to be driven by lost. Now the idea was playing itself out. It ate him whole. Feeling that he had been a pawn in a game he was not even aware of being in, he felt cheated. He thought of a line from This Side of Paradise; Fitzgerald had called it, "the kind of loss and sorrow that only a woman can inflict upon a man". But John was not naive, he was well-acquainted with all the things in which he lacked.
Sick of his self-pity and melodrama, John asked the waiter for the check. He told himself to stop whining, it was stupid, and deal with it. He calculated the tip on his cell phone and left it on the counter. Things were tight and he needed to be exact.
The woman from the group of church goers smiled as John left the restaurant. He smiled back. He needed to lighten up.
Many of the shops were closed downtown. John thought he would spent some time at the bookstore. Now that lunch was taken care of, he had the intense desire to read. Even though he told Emily that he would be productive, he did not what he would be productive in.
Any book would do. Before leaving the house that morning, he had tried reading The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, but it only made him feel more uneasy and coming upon the letters from Toru's wife, John closed the book and slid it back into its place at the bottom of the bookshelf. He wanted light fare, summer reading for winter, but the bookstore was closed. He stood in front of his car parked on the sidewalk and stared at the store sign.
Not knowing where else to go, he walked the handful of blocks to Broadacre Coffee near the capitol. This was a spot of his at one point, on his way home from work. It was quiet and unassuming.
He like riding his bike through the alleyways, where he could pedal fast, avoiding the foot traffic and congested cars during rush hour, on his way there.
Besides himself and a few college students fixed in front of their laptops, the cafe was empty. The barista, in his slick curly hair, black pants, and leather jacket told John that they were out of coffee and he would have to wait for a fresh brew. "No problem at all," John said.
He took a seat outside and watched the empty post-holiday street. The holiday season had dragged on this year and for a time, he had forgotten how things were like during normal days. The homeless were back in their perches and nooks, huddled up under sleeping bags by the Deloitte Tower and hanging out on the empty seats outside La Bou Cafe. The streets were clean again and as the woman at Denny's had made apparent, the weather was warming. John took off his wool-coat, swiped the flaky dandruff off the collars, and draped it over the back of his chair. A sweater would be enough for the rest of the day. He leafed through the SN&R and all it's advertisements for massage and marijuana clinics.
The barista came outside and placed the coffee on the table. He sipped it slowly and flipped through the rest of the newspaper. They were running a story on the cinematic history of the city. From the 1930s into the '70s, there numerous movie theaters around downtown. The kinds with grand vertical neon signs and features for long forgotten films with fancy cars, now only in museums, dressed up and down the sidewalk.
A homeless man came up the street and walked from person to person in front of the cafe asking for change. John watched him as each person declined or ignored him until it was his turn.
"Excuse me man, do you mind if I borrow a dollar to get something to drink," the homeless man said.
He crossed his arms and rubbed his shoulders.
John thought it was funny that the homeless man would use "borrow".
"You know what. Why don't I buy you something?"
"Thanks brother. I appreciate it," the homeless man said, looking somewhat surprised.
"No problem. Why don't you come inside with me?"
"That's alright. I'll just wait right here. Thanks man. I appreciate it."
"Sure. Any cream or sugar?"
"Just black. Thanks man."
John looked at the homeless man from inside the cafe. He was tall and gaunt, wearing a pair of faded sweat pants and dirty 49ers jacket. He was leaning against the iron fence with his hands in his pockets while staring down the street. The people tried their best to ignore him.
"Thanks so much brother. Happy holidays," the homeless man said when John came back outside.
"Don't worry about it. Happy holidays to you too."
After the homeless man left, a woman at the next table turned towards John. "That was a nice thing you did there," she said.
"It's no big deal. The man just wanted something to drink," John said.
"It's better than just give them money. I can tell you that. I once offered to buy one of them a burger instead of some money and the guy just spit at my feet. I couldn't believe it," the woman said.
"Maybe some money would be been better for him," John said.
The woman opened her mouth as if to say something but close it quickly and went to her book.
Maybe he could have used the money instead, John thought.
It occurred to him that maybe if he had money, the affair would have never happened. The idea was comforting in its simplicity and he laughed. Out of all the things he had thought about that week, this hadn't been one of them, but it should have been obvious. John kept laughing. Of course this was it. Of course. And then he stopped. Of course. What else could it have been.

A Most Bizarre Wedding AdventureRyan | Sunday, July 4th, 2010 3 Comments
We have narrowed our wedding destinations down to three.
How we arrived at that decision is a story all its own.
As I eluded to in yesterday's brief post, it's quite the story. Twenty-four hours later, it feels just as surreal. Stephanie and I started the morning late for our 11 a.m. appointment at Acacia Mansion, in Ojai. The drive leading into Ojai was pretty enough, though it brought back many memories of being dragged to Camp Ramah in the hills as a kid (that's another story for another time). As we got closer to Acacia, Steph remarked how the wedding directions on our invitations would require us to use a beat-up and rundown muffler shop and a sanitation plant as landmarks. We had no idea how accurate these omens would be.
We actually passed the "mansion" without realizing it. Acacia was on a small nondescript street filled with unassuming houses and a corner liquor store. We looked at each other with incredulous expressions as we pulled up to the "mansion." It was just larger than the other homes on the street. Roosters crowed in the distance.
Acacia Mansion was the depiction of false advertising. The photos, as you can see from this link, make the venue seem like a Santa Barbara villa. What wasn't advertised was the fact that Acacia doubled as someone's home. Or that the insides looked more suited for a Halloween party, complete with a creepy player piano that ought to have belched its haunting tunes at the Magic Castle alongside Irma. Or that rooster and dog crap were splattered all over the patio, along with the stench of horses on the side barn.
This is why the internet needs Smell-O-Vision.
In short, we couldn't have gotten out of there faster, though we were polite to the owner and listened to her spiel.
I think I left skidmarks on that street from peeling out to get back on the road. Our destination salvaged our time in Ojai altogether: The Ojai Valley Inn. But it wasn't the destination itself that made this visit memorable. Not even close.
It was the fact that we ran into not one, but two couples with whom I've worked for or with over the past several years.
We were in Ojai. Bascially 1.5 hours from civilization. On the back of a Cadillac golf cart (yes, you read that right). On a tour of the wedding venue, when off the back of the cart I spotted my friends Jason and Jennifer (who were so instrumental in my LA Marathon rallying run), and then at the very end of the venue site check, my old boss at BNC, Doug, and his longtime girlfriend Tracy. In both instances, we spotted our friends just as they were either emerging from the spa or their car. It honestly changed my perception of the venue completely. I've never wanted to be married at a conventional golf or country club. I'm not really a country club kind of guy, to be honest. But, these folks are good people whom I look up to, and Jason and Jen were in fact engaged and married at the Inn. We changed our plans to dine with Jason and Jen, listened to their wedding experience, enjoyed the cool breeze and completely pictured ourselves being married under the shade of a giant oak tree.
The Ojai Valley Inn is now one of our three finalists, all because of two bizarre, random encounters.
By now we were almost an hour late to our appointments in Los Olivos. To make up time, we shot across Highway 150 and caught some stunning views of Lake Casitas. I made a mental note to return here with my bike one day. Climbing and descending the picturesque hills would make for a fantastic ride.
With the windows down in my dad's borrowed 1981 Corvette Stingray T-top, we raced through Highway 154 and past Lake Cachuma towards our next destination, Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse. To say that Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse is nestled in the Los Padres wildnerness would be a MASSIVE understatement. In fact, what transpired getting to and from the farmhouse — not to mention the visit itself — had all the makings of a horror movie.
Judge for yourself.
A wildly in-love couple searching for wedding venues is charmed by the promises of a beautiful, rustic wedding off the beaten path. The "farmhouse" as it's called lies beyond the outskirts of a small, charming time filled with all the trappings of Americana — especially on July 4 weekend. To reach the destination, the couple passes a bizarre sight all its own — Michael Jackson's former Neverland Ranch, and remarks unknowingly how creepy it felt just to be in the same neighborhood.
That would be the most normal part of the next hour.
The road to the farmhouse began to wind up a mountain road that quickly became devoid of any other vehicles except for construction tankers. Gretchen, the friendly host of the farmhouse, instructed the couple to just keep driving for another 20 minutes up this road until we found a side road with a mailbox and an address.
When the couple comes to the side road, it's not paved and filled with gravel. The descent is at a 15-degree angle. The couple is driving a sports car, but decides to brave the elements.
How far could the farmhouse be from here?
Very, very far, is the answer.
The 'Vette performed as admirably as it could. Until an 8-percent grade stood in the way between the couple and the farmhouse. The car groaned and whined. The temperature gauge rose. It was time to shut off the engine or be stranded.
The couple is now frazzled. Where the hell are we? Why are we here? Haven't we seen enough wedding venues at this point? How are we going to get out of here?
And then it hit the couple…we may be fodder for a death trap. Maybe the farmhouse is a clever rouse to bring young lovers out into the wilderness — where nobody can hear them scream. This greatly displeased the female. The male was more concerned about his father's 'Vette — knowing that if the farmhouse didn't kill him, Mitch most certainly would.
Gretchen arrived in her Land Rover to rescue us. She reminded me — err, the leading male — of Rebecca de Mornay. Yeah, the one from The Hand that Rocks the Cradle. She seemed to be a pure-bred Scandinavian, and far too alluring to be the caretaker of a rustic farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. It didn't add up. The crystal blue eyes were innocent enough, but the devilish grin offset Steph to the point where she didn't want to be in any confined space with the caretaker.
The blunt metal objects hanging in the kitchen inside the farmhouse didn't help. Nor did the comment from the caretaker that she often desired to project images from horror movies out onto the trees in the looming distance at night while guests were on site.
To be fair, this was also the point where I fully expected a Blair Witch Project sequence to occur as the doors bolt shut, Steph and I get separated, and full-on carnage ensued.
This was also the point where I decided that we were officially done wedding venue shopping.
Stephanie and I eventually fled from the farmhouse, not even waiting for Gretchen to guide us off the dirt road in case we had car trouble.
G-d bless that 'Vette. In the movie, the car would stall, we'd be forced to stay overnight, and the search parties would still be hunting us down. All while the caretaker giggles and playfully tells the police that no visitors ever came on property, but they should come on in to try the mince meat pie she just baked up.
If we could have made the Scooby-Doo running sounds as we bolted to our car, we would have. The dust cloud caused by the Vette is probably just now settling down.
As we sped back towards civilization — if Neverland Ranch can be called that — I calmly told Steph that we were no longer visiting wedding venues.
She whole-heartedly agreed.
The rest of the evening was lovely.
We dined at Brothers Restaurant at Mattei Tavern in Los Olivos, which if we get married at the Firestone Vineyard in town would be the site of our rehearsal dinner. Our hands were still shaking from our Freddie Krueger-near miss, but it didn't stop us from scarfing down by far the best pork chop and applewood bacon mashed potatoes I've ever eaten. Not to mention the homemade shortbread berries 4th of July sundae.
On our way out of town, we checked out the Fess Parker Inn as a possible place for guests and Steph and I to stay for the wedding. While the hotel itself is small — only 10 rooms — it was charming and quaint enough for the town's official cat to prop herself in a lobby chair and proceed to clean herself in unmentionable places. (Because she can.)
Yep, we'd experienced it all yesterday.
Finally, about 12 hours after we started, we stumbled back home and went straight to bed.
As unbelievably ecstatic as my night with the Lakers was a few weeks ago, yesterday's wedding venue adventure was equally unbelievable — in a creepy, bizarre way.
Surely there's a movie plot in this story somewhere. I may just have to write it one day.
138 days and counting.

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Coriander Hobie, born in 1643, has a remarkable tale to
tell -- the tale of a childhood touched by unexplained bits of wonder, but too
soon marked by tragedy. After her beloved mother dies and her father is forced
to flee London, Coriander is left at the mercy of a stepmother full of cruelty. In the very
nick of time, Coriander finds that she has somehow managed to transport
herself to a land of fairies, and there she discovers what she has always
suspected: that her mother was from a more magical world than grimy old London. And that she herself has
inherited some of her mother's mysterious abilities - abilities that she now has a desperate need to master.
Be prepared to be swept away by atmospheric writing that casts a lasting spell. Sally Gardner's prose is exquisitely beautiful and her story and characters enthralling. She has written a rare and glorious book.
A Tale to Tell
It is night, and our old house by the river is finally quiet. The baby has
stopped its crying and been soothed back to sleep. Only the gentle lapping of
the River Thames can be heard outside my window. London is wrapped in a deep
sleep, waiting for the watchman to call in the new day.
I have lit the first of seven candles to write my story by. On the table next to me is the silk purse that holds my mother's pearls and beside it is the ebony box whose treasure I am only now beginning to understand. Next to that, shining nearly as bright as the moon, stands a pair of silver shoes.
I have a great many things to tell, of how I came by the silver shoes and more. And this being my story and a fairy tale besides, I will start once upon a time . . . .
My name is Coriander Hobie. I am the only child of Thomas and Eleanor Hobie, being born in this house in the year of Our Lord 1643. It is just a stone's throw from London Bridge, ...
December 2005 was a very special month for Sally Gardner - the month I, Corinder, her first book for older children, won the Nestle Children's Book Prize in the 9-11 years category. Not bad for a woman who was written off as "unteachable" and sent to a school for maladjusted children because she was so profoundly dyslexic.
(Reviewed by BookBrowse Review Team).
Full Review (439 words).
Sally Gardner is an inspiration to all those children struggling with dyslexia. She is so severely dyslexic that it wasn't until she was 14 that she was able to read her first book. She says she can't explain how she finally learned to read but 'at 14 something clicked and I could read. I read the whole of Wuthering Heights. Every time before I tried to read there would be the awful finger-following-every-word, speaking each one out loud. But you're not reading, you're on that awful tram track and you haven't gone into the story.' She was labeled unteachable and sent to a school for maladjusted children. Despite this, she gained a degree with highest honors at a leading London art college, followed by a scholarship to a ...

The most negative aspect of the Patriots through 12 weeks of the season was the defense, and rightfully so. They were dead last in the league in multiple categories and had won game in spite of, not because of, the defense. Timely interceptions and a juggernaut offense kept them on the winning path.
But the defense is finally coming together, not just creating turnovers. The Pats allowed three points to the Jets and seven to the Bears in the last two weeks, helping cement them as the clear-cut best team in the league.
So what can you say is wrong with this team? We've looked at the poor pass rush, but the linebacker play and solid coverage is making up for a non-existent pass rush. The secondary is starting to make great on-the-ball plays and the bend-but-not-break defense is clearly improving.
Obviously there is nothing wrong with an offense that is averaging 39.2 points per game during the current five-game winning streak.
Let's get nit-picky here, and there's a reason to do so. When a team needs an upset, which the Patriots' remaining opponents will be looking to do, they need to win in two major aspects of the game: turnovers and special teams. The Patriots haven't turned the ball over in the last five games, which leaves special teams. Few things in football are more momentum-swinging and game-changing than a kick-return touchdown, and if the Patriots have struggled in anything, it's been kick coverage, where they rank 19th in the league.
Two recent games in particular come to mind that highlight the unit's issues this season. On Thanksgiving against the Lions' top return man, Stefan Logan, the Patriots allowed a 42-yard return, and Logan averaged 27.7 yards a return. In the snow on Sunday, Bears return men had a great day. Danieal Manning had a 40-yard return and averaged 31 yards per, while Devin Hester had a 61-yard return that led to the Bears' only points.
New kicker Shayne Graham does not have the leg of Stephen Gostkowski. In five games with New England, Graham has just two touchbacks. Gostkowski booted 15 into the endzone in eight games.
Luckily for New England, they play a Packers team that is 27th in the league in kick returns, but some of their special-teams players like LB Tracy White, LB Dane Fletcher, RB Sammy Morris and CB Devin McCourty need to step up in filling their lanes. It should help having S Jarrad Page back as well.
Sure, it's a very small problem that New England has more than made up for during its dominant stretch, but it's the exact unit that could cause the game to swing away from the Patriots and force them to play from behind.

PINEVILLE, Mo. —
Officials with Downstream Casino Resort on Friday touted what they say has been a $1 billion contribution to the area economy as they made official the opening of a new hotel.
John Berrey, chairman of the Quapaw Tribe's business committee, said there has been a recession, a tornado, and many deaths and births in the past five years.
"On May 14, 2007, we said we were going to break ground," Berrey said. "It's led us to today."
He said the casino and the tribe have good relations with officials in all three states.
Area chamber of commerce and Quapaw Tribe officials participated in a ceremonial ribbon-cutting for the $50 million, 152-room Kappa Hotel.
Steven Drewes, Downstream manager, gave details of an economic impact study it commissioned with KlasRobinson market research firm in Minneapolis, Minn.
It lists a cumulative economic output of almost $750 million over five years, and a $361 million economic output for the new hotel.
Downstream employs 1,200 and has an annual payroll of $34 million, and employee benefits of $12 million. It makes $41 million in purchases annually and pays more than $7 million in annual taxes.
The casino and hotels contribute $10 million annually to the Quapaw Tribe, which goes to tribal services including health care, environmental services, senior services and scholarships.
Impact estimates
Downstream Casino Resort officials say estimates suggest the casino's annual impact at $26 million in Missouri, $10 million in Kansas and $10 million in Oklahoma.

CLU's partnership with T.O. school to be featured at conference.
A teaching partnership between California Lutheran University and a local middle school will be featured at a national conference this spring.
The three-year partnership involves a professional development school at Los Cerritos Middle School in Thousand Oaks. Professional development schools are modeled after teaching hospitals, where residents learn by working directly with patients under the guidance of veteran doctors.
"We're bridging theory and practice right away, so everybody benefits," said CLU education professor Michael Cosenza, who will be speaking at the national conference.
Through the partnership, students in the teaching credential program at the Thousand Oaks university get hands-on experience in the classroom, working directly with middle-schoolers and veteran teachers. CLU faculty can see the schools they teach about, learning what actually happens in the classroom. And veteran middle school teachers get exposed to the latest practices.
"First, we have extra help in the classroom," said Jacquie Meir, a Los Cerritos teacher who also will speak at the conference. "Then, the student teachers are on the cutting edge of all that's new in education, and they share that with you."
California has only 10 professional development schools, although there are more than 1,000 nationwide, Cosenza said. The professional development school at Los Cerritos is unusual because it's a middle school, while most partnerships are with elementary schools, he said.
This year's National Conference of Professional Development Schools wanted to focus more on middle and high schools, Cosenza said.
"That's where it has not developed nationwide," he said. "Elementary teachers tend to be collaborative to begin with. In middle and high schools, you have departments that work in isolation, so it's more difficult."
In addition to Cosenza and Meir, other local faculty speaking at the conference are Thomas McCambridge, associate professor of education at CLU; Jeanne Ricci, coordinator of teacher candidate placement at CLU; and Nicole Piuze, a teacher at Los Cerritos. The conference will be held in March in New Orleans.

Public Safety Games raise money
The First Annual Henrico Public Safety Games, a fundraiser for the Henrico Christmas Mother, were held Dec. 7 at the Hermitage H.S. track and the Henrico County Training Center. Sponsored by Henrico County Fitness and Wellness, the games featured pairs of police officers, firefighters and sheriff's deputies competing against one another in a series of events (2-mile run, bench press, pull-up/push-up/squat circuit, and agility course challenge) to test strength, speed and endurance.
The winning team of firefighters Patrick Sheehan and Justin Borel narrowly defeated Officers Mark Brennan and Josh Dixon from the Division of Police by one point. The competition was close all the way around, with police teams as a group winning by just two points over those from Henrico Fire. Christmas Mother Terry Brady was on hand to cheer on the teams and present "official" Henrico Christmas Mother hats to the winners, as the inaugural event raised several hundred dollars for the Christmas Mother.
Agencies combine on new entry point to Chickahominy
Canoeing and kayaking enthusiasts soon will have a new access point to the Chickahominy River. VDOT, the James River Association and Henrico County Parks and Recreation are teaming up to establish a new site in Eastern Henrico.
The James River Association negotiated the deal with VDOT to procure official access to the area located just east of I-295 on North Airport Road in Sandston. The site includes a park-and-ride commuter lot bordering the Chickahominy River and has been an unofficial launch site used by paddlers for years. > Read more.

text: lets tax all catholic churches....we can balance the budget in 1 year.<quoted text> The catholic white boys and the local archdioceses donated a lot of their hard earned salaries that went to needy people. Put a lot of kids that had/have no resources through schools also. The catholic church deserves the anger it is receiving for the disgraceful acts of some of the clergy and covering iit up. But it has done much good for others only it is never broadcast by the media. Those who have benefited know. And those who paid or tithed even though that has slowed down over the decades know also. it is a shame, the political correct/diversity/etc. movements destroyed what was good also. Now it costs ten times more to get the same results and on top of that trillions of dollars have been wasted on corruption.

In a typical case of PC-Britain, idiotic police have yet again shown why society is in dire need of a shakeup.
Bungling police have been forced to apologise after stopping a crime victim from reclaiming his stolen bike – and then letting the crooks get away scot-free.
Simon Turner had his £55 bike stolen from his shed at the beginning of August. He was walking through the town centre when he spotted the bike chained up.
With his six-year-old son Giles he set about trying to find a police officer and eventually located a PCSO who he took back to the bike.
The 48-year-old said: "I gave details of a hidden technical modification, then she looked and there it was – it was clearly my bike. I said I'd go home and get some tools and remove it but they said we couldn't remove the bike.
They said 'you'll be damaging the lock and it's not your property'."
Turner even offered the PCSO £5 for the 'cheap' lock but was told the owner could sue him for the damage.
The PCSO, receiving advice from the police station, told Mr Turner to leave the bike there and the police would monitor who came to collect it using CCTV.
"They rang me up on Tuesday to say it was removed and taken away by two males who could not be identified," he added. "And that's it – my bike's gone again. I'm absolutely appalled."
A police spokesman said: "The PCSO was acting on the advice of a colleague, and, although we've yet to establish exactly what happened, it does appear the incorrect advice was given to her and there were other steps that could have been taken at the time.
"We'd like to apologise for this mistake and reassure the gentleman concerned that we are doing all we can to track down the person or people who stole his bicycle."
Doesn't that just fill you with floods of hope?

Bollito misto might strike you as one of the simplest and most obvious things there is. And you'd be right, but if it's prepared properly a North Italian boiled dinner is one of the most enjoyable and satisfying meals imaginable, so nice that in the late 1800s Crown Prince Vittorio Emanuele and his friends would sneak off to Moncalvo, a town far from the stifling air of the Court in Torino, to enjoy a rich, flavorful bollito misto: seven kinds of meat, seven vegetables, and seven condiments.
The Crown Prince's Bollito Misto was from Piemonte. The boiled dinner pictured here is is instead Veronese, prepared by Pietro, who owns the Ristorante al Calmiere in Piazza San Zeno, and wheels out a spectacular cart for those who order bollito. I asked for seven cuts from the cart (there were more), and sauces too.

Laura C. Quillinan, 31, of the 11900 block of Kildare Avenue in Alsip was charged with domestic battery. Several witnesses told police that Quillinan struck a woman in the face following an argument inside a home in the 11000 block of 191st Street around 9:30 p.m. over a dog.
DUI of Drugs
Denae L.

Police said Boban lost control of her car at Francis Road and Breckenridge Drive, striking a tree and stopping in a ditch, shortly after midnight. Boban reportedly told police and paramedics she had mixed alcohol and pills before getting behind the wheel. She refused, however, to give blood or urine samples at Silver Cross Hospital. Police said they found a pipe in her pocket.

Updated Feb. 21, 10:13 p.m.
Five children were taken in by Summit County Children's Services on Feb. 19 after Stow police found them living with their parents in a suspected meth house.
The parents, Jason Little, 37, and Brandi Little, 28, of Stow, were arrested, charged with multiple felonies and taken to Summit County Jail, according to Stow Police Chief Louis Dirker.
The investigation was triggered Tuesday after police received a tip from a Lakeview Intermediate School employee that one of their 12-year-old students came to class smelling like chemicals, said Dirker.
Stow police, along with the Summit County Drug Unit, searched the child's residence – located at 1842 Lillian Rd. -- and found components used in the manufacture of methamphetamine.
"An active 'one-pot' meth lab, commonly referred to as the 'shake and bake method,' along with chemicals and equipment were discovered in the basement and in the garage of the residence," said Dirker.
Children ages 2, 8, 9, 11 and 12 were removed from the home.
Jason and Brandi Little were charged with the illegal manufacture of drugs, a first-degree felony; illegal assembly of chemicals, a second-degree felony; and endangering children, a third-degree felony.
Both will be arraigned Wednesday in Stow Municipal Court.

Posts Tagged 'rohan sippy'
Producer-director Rohan Sippy's gritty, hard-hitting film on the drug racket in Goa, inspired by Hollywood's Traffic, has finally found a second hero.
The role, which was initially offered to Farhan Akhtar and Emraan Hashmi, has now gone to Rana Daggubati, the Telugu star-on-the-rise, based in Hyderabad. Abhishek Bachchan is playing the lead role in the film.
Rana is a rage in the Telugu film industry after he made his acting debut with the hard-hitting political thriller, Leader. He was chosen to play Abhishek Bachchan's co-star because he fit the bill.
A source says, "It is the character of a Goan musician. When Rohan saw Rana's picture, he was stuck by how Goan the Telugu actor looked. The Sippys saw Rana's film, Leader, and knew he was right. The role is as powerful as Abhishek's."
The formalities were completed last week. Incidentally, Rana is not new to the film world. He comes from an illustrious film family. His grandfather is Andhra-based producer D Rama Naidu (who has produced 110 films including superhits in Hindi like Prem Nagar and Tohfa). His father is a distinguished producer Suresh Babu, while his uncle is the popular Telugu star Venkatesh.
Rana will now be another South Indian actor trying his luck in Hindi films after the likes of Kamal Haasan. Rajnikant, Chiranjeevi and Rana's uncle, Venkatesh (who was launched opposite Karisma Kapoor in Anari by his father D Rama Naidu in 1993).
Rohan Sippy confirmed the casting, "Yes, I have signed Rana for the film I am directing."
Producer-cum-actor Abhishek Bachchan says the experience of producing Paa has made him grow up. He says, "High time it did so. People keep asking me what we are producing next. At the moment I don't want to leave Paa behind. I'm completely engrossed with Paa and how to take it forward, including the DVD release."
Abhishek says Paa had recovered its costs only two days after its release but he chooses to be cautious in his exuberance. He says, "My very dear friend Aditya Chopra told me, 'It's very rare when the audience decides to love you and when they do you must be very thankful for that. I feel no sense of vindication. I didn't make Paa to prove any point to everyone. I just wanted to make an A-grade product with a cast to match within a given reasonable budget and without compromise."
Now there are plans to make a film with the Bachchan parivaar — Amitabh, Jaya, Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan together, to be produced by AB Corp Ltd. Confirming the news, Abhishek says, "Most definitely, we are coming together. All four of us are completely for it. We need to sort out certain variables. The scripts that we had been given didn't justify our collective presence."
Apparently one or other Bachchan has not liked the scripts offered so far. "Each individual of the family has to be willing to be part of the film. All four of us are unique actors. It's very difficult for any script to please collectively."
Meanwhile, Abhishek is planning to produce a film that will cast Amitabh and Abhishek together again after Paa. He says, "Everyone wants to know what's next with the two of us? I think a comedy is ideal. So that's what we would do together."
The year 2009 has been eventful for Abhishek as he worked in his most challenging role to date, for Mani Ratnam's Raavana. Talking about his experience, Abhishek says, "It has been a gruelling year, but no complaints. Most of the year was taken up by Raavana. Unfortunately, at the start of the year, Mani fell ill after the first schedule. We had to push the second schedule ahead by a few months to give him the time to recover. In the interim, I finished Paa… Raavana has been the most challenging experience of my life, both physically and emotionally. It has sapped me every which way. I was really anxious about Raavana. Mani, Aishwarya and I had to go beyond Guru, which is one of my favourite films. I knew Raavana could do it. It is now going to be released in summer. Mani has completed the editing. We will start dubbing soon."
Abhishek looks back on the year with much gratitude. "It has been a fantastic 2009. I started with Delhi 6 and ended with Paa. I have no reason to complain. I continue to get the opportunity to work with fantastic directors. I love working with new directors. I like to challenge myself as an actor. It would be terribly boring to be doing the same roles again. Now I am raring to take on the challenges in 2010."
He has almost wrapped up Ashutosh Gowariker's Khelenge Hum Jee Jaan Se. Commenting on his busy schedule for the forthcoming year, he says, "I am almost done. We shot it in Goa at a stretch. I start 2010 with a film produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, but it's not called Crooked. It has no title. After that I go into Rohan Sippy's film, then Dostana 2, followed by Abbas-Mastan's film, which is the official remake of The Italian Job. Finally, at the end of 2010, I'll go into Neeraj Pandey Special Chabbis. I saw Neeraj's A Wednesday and loved it. He's a very no-nonsense director. He doesn't believe in frills. What he has written for me is very exciting. Is that a lot? No I have always had 4-5 releases per year. All my years have been packed. Only Raavana required more time because of Mani's illness."
Abhishek admits he's worried by his father's workload. He says, "Any son would be worried. I am no different. Having said that, as his fan and co-actor, I am glad I get to see him quite often in movies. But at the same time I think he's just starting. After doing five films with him, I can say with some authority that what we have seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg."
TIMES NEWS NETWORK (BOMBAY TIMES; December 18, 2009)
A lot of films try to lay claim to the old 'most anticipated film of the year' tag, but on Tuesday night, it was clear that Avatar was indeed the biggest Hollywood film of the year amongst Bollywood's celebrity film buffs; it brought the Bachchans and the Khans onto the same blue carpet in a premiere rivalling the big Bollywood premieres. After 14 years of incubating in director James Cameron's brain, Avatar, the once-ultrasecret project known as 'Project 800', finally premiered to an enraptured and appreciative Bollywood crowd. But before the 160-minute-long saga of 10-foot-tall blue aliens on a distant moon called Pandora began, the blue carpet was walked by larger than life superstars like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Yash Chopra, Gurinder Chadha, Harman Baweja, Vivek Oberoi, Ram Gopal Verma, Rohan Sippy, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Rajkumar Hirani, Anthony D'Souza, Rohit Shetty, Shirish Kunder, Tisca Chopra to name a few.
At the end of the film, as the news channels spoke to the guests leaving, some admitted to tears, many felt it would be difficult to watch "normal movies again" and most were ready to take another trip to Pandora right then and there. Networking sites were instantly flooded with more gushing praise.
Aryan had his school exams and couldn't make it, but Shah Rukh Khan was so amazed by the experience that arranged a screening for his family and friends over the weekend. … Hrithik, who was stuck at the shooting of Guzaarish and couldn't make it in time to the venue, is also looking to have a private screening of the film. Amitabh Bachchan told the media "It was a fabulous film, a wonderful experience!" Abhishek, who was not scheduled to come as he had to walk the ramp the same evening in the suburbs, rushed just in time to catch the film. He posted his views on a site soon after "It's not a film. It's an experience! James Cameron is Hollywood's answer to my favourite director, Manmohan Desai! He could pull off anything. Avatar too is a Hindi film at heart. It's definitely a 'must watch' for the experience."
Rohan Sippy's film requires three leading men. While two of them, Abhishek Bachchan and Pratik Babbar, have been finalised there is another crucial third character, whose role is parallel to that of Abhishek.
Apparently, Abhishek and Farhan Akhtar were the first choices for the two parts and since director Rohan Sippy, Abhishek and Farhan are childhood friends, no one saw any problems in the casting.
|Farhan Akhtar
|Abhishek Bachchan
Rohan's film is being produced by his father Ramesh Sippy, a close family friend of Farhan's father Javed Akhtar.
Although both Rohan Sippy and Farhan Akhtar remained unavailable for comment, a source close to the project said, "Farhan was indeed the first choice to play Abhishek's co-star. The on-screen partnering was patterned on those Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor films that Farhan's father once wrote. Farhan declined the offer, much to the dismay of Rohan's team, which hadn't thought of anyone else."
Since the role is as important as Abhishek's, Rohan and Abhishek have now zeroed in on John Abraham for the same role.
"The problem with Abhishek-John is that audiences will immediately think of Dhoom where again, Abhishek played an undercover cop, as he does in Rohan's film. Rohan's film is not a light bantering caper like Dhoom. It's dark and does an expose on the drug racket in Goa which ends with one of the principal politician characters being exposed as the kingpin," said the source.
A deluge of films for Pratik
Posted November 30, 2009on:
Pratik signs a two-film deal with Rohan Sippy; will star alongside Abhishek Bachchan
He may not have signed on too many films after Jaane Tu… but he is now making up for lost time and is on a film-signing spree. The latest on Pratik is that he has signed on with producer Rohan Sippy for his film starring Abhishek Bachchan.
A source reveals, "Pratik is only a film old in the industry, but is going places. He recently signed Sanjay Leela Bhansali's My Friend Pinto, and Saif Ali Khan's home production, and now has a two-film deal with Rohan Sippy. Abhishek and Pratik are the protagonists in Rohan's next. Rohan and Abhishek wanted a young fresh face and found Pratik to fit the bill perfectly."
The source continues, "Rohan's film has Abhishek as a tough cop on a drug-bust mission. The untitled film is about drug-trafficking in Goa. The actors have been asked to study narcotic neurosis and criminal's quirks to understand their roles well."
Rohan confirms the story and says, "Pratik is a very exciting young actor and we are planning on doing a couple of films together. The first is the one I am directing, starring Abhishek Bachchan. It is a gritty and witty thriller."
MEENA IYER Times News Network (BOMBAY TIMES; November 28, 2009)
Pratik says, "My filmmakers be it Sanjay Leela or Rohan will do all the talking about their films. I'm under a contract and unable to say much."
The star son, however, clears the air about a controversy that said he kept Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan waiting on the sets of Kiran Rao's Dhobi Ghat because he was holidaying in Goa. "I haven't been to Goa in five years," says Pratik. "I may be young, restless and even stupid but I would never keep a senior actor like Aamir waiting." Brickbats be damned, then. It will rain bouquets in Pratik's backyard on his birthday, today!
Rohan Sippy to wed
Posted November 2, 2009on:
Director Rohan Sippy and his longtime girlfriend Roopa De Chowdhury will tie the knot on November 9 in Mumbai. A source said, "Rohan has been dating Roopa since the last few years.
She was the executive producer of Chandni Chowk to China which Rohan produced. He proposed to her last week and she accepted. They immediately planned their wedding but the venue and all other details have been kept under wraps." The wedding will be attended by family members and a few close friends.
"Rohan was earlier married to screenwriter Rohena Gera, who he studied with at the Stanford University. They divorced in 2003," added the source.
After the wedding, Rohan will start working on his next film with Abhishek Bachchan.
Rohan Sippy's untitled film takes a lead from a number of headlines about the alarming crime situation in Goa. According to sources, it's a gritty film about a cop on a drug-busting mission in Goa – quite unlike the Abhishek Bachchan starrer Bluffmaster, which Rohan had earlier directed.
A source said, "Rohan and Abhishek are close friends. When they decided to work together again, they had many options, but they decided to swerve away from drama and romance and instead make a dark film based on real life incidents."
The untitled film about drug trafficking in Goa will be largely shot on the beaches of Goa with Abhishek playing an undercover cop.
Sridhar Raghavan known for his realistic newspaper-inspired work is said to be heavily influenced by Steven Soderbergh's Traffic. Meanwhile, Abhishek has been asked to study narcotic neurosis and criminal quirks to master the role of the cop.
The source added, "Abhishek has earlier played an undercover cop in the Dhoom series, but this is a different territory for him and also for Rohan Sippy. Abhishek is busy collecting as much data as he can get on drug dealing in Goa."
When we asked Rohan Sippy about his forthcoming film, he said, "I'm unfortunately not at liberty to speak about it at the moment other than that we are working on a thriller written by Sridhar Raghavan, starring Abhishek."
Abhi-Jr Sippy team up again
Posted October 14, 2009on:
Abhishek Bachchan and Rohan Sippy have been best friends and have worked together in films like Kuch Na Kaho and Bluffmaster. Now they are aiming for a hat-trick with their third film, which will go on the floors in January. Incidentally, Abhishek, who had committed to a film with T-Series, will keep his word as the film will be a joint production between Ramesh Sippy and Bhushan Kumar.
Our source said, "Both Abhishek and Amitabh Bachchan were committed to a film with T-Series. Back then, Priyadarshan was supposed to make the film, however T-Series went ahead with Bhool Bhulaiya. After that, Amitabh too opted out as his dates were blocked. However, Abhishek has kept his word and now that Rohan Sippy is ready with his untitled thriller, talks are on to make it a joint production. This way, Abhishek will be able to fulfill both – his commitment made to T-Series as well as his buddy Rohan."
Rohan Sippy confirmed the story, but was not forthcoming about the joint venture. He said, "Yes, we are set to start the film in December end or January. Everything is locked and we are in the process of finalising the ensemble cast. However, as far as the tie-up with T-Series is concerned, my father (Ramesh Sippy) is the best person to answer the question. As far as I know, we are surely doing the music with them and Pritam is the music director."
Speaking about the film, Rohan said, "It has an interesting mix of actors with Abhishek in the lead. It is a thriller."
Bhushan Kumar of T-Series said, "Talks are on for a joint production, but nothing is finalised as of now. The only decision we have taken is that we will be doing the music of the film."

Lakers reserve guard Sasha Vujacic, a restricted free agent, is prepared to leave the team and accept an offer from a European team in the next few days if the Lakers don't make him an offer he deems fair, according to a source in the Vujacic camp who spoke only on the condition of anonymity.
The source said Vujacic is seeking a multiyear deal from the Lakers averaging about $5 million a year. Vujacic was hoping for a six-year deal, but anticipated it could be a shorter contract.

Times West Virginian
It isn't often you can hold a memory in your hands.
But Jon "Tom" Merrifield can.
One of his most cherished memories of growing up in Barrackville is seeing and hearing all the trains that passed through the small town on their ways to and from the coal mines.
To bring those days back, he can listen for the trains passing through in nearby Colfax. Or he can pick up the sleek black engine he created from wood.
He got interested in woodworking when his son took shop in high school back in the 1990s.
"I had no background in it or anything," he said. "I've had no training. Everything I've done, I trained myself. I like to do this. If I can't figure something out, I'll make five or six mistakes until I get it right."
But of all his creations, the black Barrackville No. 7 steam engine is his favorite.
"I have fond memories. Growing up in Barrackville, it's all you heard of. I laid into it one time and started making it."
It took him about six months, working off and on, to turn the "square block of wood" to the finished No. 7 engine. Many of the parts are tiny and the work was intricate and time-consuming.
"This train was the most challenging I've done yet. It was just a big square chunk of wood when I started. I had no idea how I was going to get through it. But I just worked on it."
And it was tough work. Because the tank is tapered, he had to figure out how to attach the piston rings to it.
"I had to cut them, break them, put them back on and then glue them," he said. "I couldn't just slip them on."
The Barrackville native was transferred to Ohio with Southern Ohio Coal Co. and returned home after he retired. He and his wife Regina built a workshop onto their Deerfield home.
"That's when I really started doing things," he said. He builds rocking horses, decoys, chests, jewelry boxes, even ink pens.
"I bought bigger equipment and started making bigger things ... cabinets, chairs ... and kept adding to my inventory."
He doesn't sell his creations. He doesn't even give them away, except within the family.
He has all the equipment he needs to turn a block of wood into an intricate classic car or steam engine or working guitar.
The first car he completed — a 1937 Cadillac — is also his favorite automobile, he said.
"It's the sportiest. I improvised," he said. "See the tail lights? They're golf tees."
He likes making keepsakes for his children and grandchildren. He also makes decoys for Regina, who also collects crocks.
He's also made a Lincoln touring car, a Chevy truck, a Sinclair tanker truck, a Ford roadster, Ford truck, and Model A and T Fords.
He rarely paints his creations.
"I like to leave the wood. See how pretty the grain is?" he asked, pointing to a multi-tone car made of cherry, oak and mahogany.
He got some mahogany for free from a local lumberyard, he said.
"It has to be perfect. If the grain is off just a little bit, they discard it. So this was discarded. I was looking at a gold mine and the guy gave it to me."
He's got it all ... smaller lathe, larger lathe, bandsaw, router, sanders, buffers. He can make just about anything.
His next project is a working construction crane. He's started making the cleats for the track.
Each link in the cleats has five cut sides, he said.
"And I have to make two tracks," he said with a rueful laugh.
"I like the feeling of getting something done. The challenge. I've made lots of mistakes, believe me. But you just start over. That's how you learn."
He makes pens from wood or even antlers, and will give those away as keepsakes.
He can play classic rock but is learning to play classic Spanish guitar (not on the one he built, though).
"I don't think there's anything today to compare with these cars today," he said of the vintage autos. "They're sleek. They're classic."
So he's probably cut himself once or twice.
"Oh, yeah," he said quickly and with a laugh. "I've had some close calls."
But nothing as close to the time when he still lived in Ohio.
"The saw threw a piece of wood out. It went through the storm door, the kitchen, living room, down the steps and got embedded in the drywall.
"If I'd have been standing behind the wood, it would have gone through my stomach. I've been hit before, but not by anything with that velocity.
"The most fun part is going in your mind how you're gonna do it. I don't get too far ahead of myself. I stay with what I'm working on. If I get ahead of myself, I just mess up."

STOCKTON — All eyes were on Darrel Vasquez of Bakersfield High Friday during the state wrestling championships at University of the Pacific, and for good reason. Vasquez, a senior wrestling at 125 pounds, is going for his record fourth consecutive individual state title.
Vasquez, who won at 119 pounds last year, 112 in 2000 and 103 in 1999, got his pursuit of history rolling in impressive fashion in the opening rounds, winning with a pin and two technical falls as he advanced to the semifinals today.

My sister reserved this campground for a large family camping weekend. It seems to be an older campground, but overall, we had a good experience here. The staff were friendly and helpful. The kids enjoyed the playground and fun cycles. The fun cycles were $2.00 for a half hour, but they were free on Sunday. Our site was level and shaded, which was nice. My parents had a cabin, which was also nice. The main problem we encountered was that one of the sites we had reserved was right next to the road that led to the rustic section of the campground. That site ended up being only half a site because we couldn't put anything in or near the roadway. Do not reserve sites 31/32 for this reason. Our motorhome is 31' and I don't think a larger vehicle would have been able to maneuver through the campground. Lake Michigan is a short drive from the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stony Haven? My kids call it "dirty haven". This was probably one of the dirtiest campgrounds that we have stayed at. We waited too long to get reservations at any other campgrounds over Labor Day weekend. While the campground owners were nice, and they would have done anything for you, the park could use a good cleaning and they need to cut down some trees. Although it was sunny when we were there, the sun never made it down to the park because of the many trees. My kids went to play on the playground and came back with grease on their clothes and more dirt. The showers and restrooms were ok at best. There was nothing to do. We did rent one of their pedal cars and found that it was again very dirty and hanging together with twine. Fun ride! We were thankful that it did not rain because then it would have become "muddy haven". We will never return to this campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rebate offers can be tempting but it usually takes some work to get your money back. Sometimes the rebate can be immediate, meaning the store will deduct the amount at the register when you pay for the item. But most rebates require you to mail in information or submit it online before you get any money back.
The Law on Rebates
Under North Carolina law, the company must give you at least 30 days to submit your rebate claim and must provide payment within 60 days of getting your rebate form.
The law also requires that the terms and conditions must be clearly printed on the rebate form. This means the company has to be clear about what exactly you'll have to do to be able to get your money back.
Consider the following tips before you buy something with a rebate:
Long-term or Deferred Rebates
North Carolina law prohibits long-term or deferred rebate programs. These are rebates that make you wait several years before you can claim your rebate worth thousands of dollars on an expensive item. In North Carolina, companies cannot make you wait more than six months to file your rebate.
We Can Help
If your rebate doesn't arrive within 60 days, contact us for help or call toll free within North Carolina at 1-877-5-NO-SCAM.
