Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh backed away from comments on Tuesday in which he said the Patriots could not avoid the black mark on their legacy caused by the Spygate scandal.
Harbaugh said he was originally speaking about the "perception out there" that came from the NFL punishments handed down to the Patriots in 2007 and to the New Orleans Saints this year for their bounty infractions. He added that there was "some distortion" of his comments.
"I could have been more clear that I was referring to those viewpoints," Harbaugh said. "I totally believe that the Patriot and Saint coaches and players earned those championships. Bill (Belichick) and Sean (Payton) both know that."
Harbaugh originally brought the specter of Spygate back into focus on Tuesday while discussing the Saints' bounty scandal with a Maryland radio station. He said the Patriots' championships were "stained" and have "asterisks" because of the Spygate scandal.
The host on radio station 98Rock was asking Harbaugh about cheating and playing dirty, in the context of the punishments doled out to the Saints this year, and mentioned how his brother Jim (the head coach of the 49ers) and their father Jack (a former college coach) are "old-school football guys" who believe in "hit hard, hit right." Isn't there a part of Harbaugh that thinks "if a guy can get away with it..." they should go for it in pursuit of wins, he was asked.
Harbaugh said on the radio show that in the end, cheating isn't worth it because of the scandal it brings.
"Even the thing in New England," Harbaugh said, "and the thing ... no matter whether those things had any impact on whether they won their championships or not, they got asterisks now. It's been stained. So to me it's never worth it.
"In the end, if you're cheating, you're going to get discredited. It's just not worth it."
Harbaugh has acknowledged in the past that Bill Belichick recommended him to Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti before he was hired in 2008.
In his clarification, Harbaugh said he reached out to Belichick on Tuesday.
"I have so much respect for coach Belichick and the job he does and has accomplished in his Hall of Fame career. I called him to remind him of my respect for him," he said.
The Patriots have not commented on Harbaugh's words.
New England is scheduled to play at Baltimore on Sept. 23, in a rematch of the teams' meeting in the AFC title game last season.

Philadelphia Casino Fined $15,000 By Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board
By: PR Newswire
Dec. 12, 2012 12:16 PM
HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- HSP Gaming, LP, operator of the SugarHouse Casino, agreed to fines totaling $15,000 for three incidents in which patrons gambled at the Philadelphia facility even though they were banned from entering and gambling in Commonwealth casinos.
The fines were the result of approvals today by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board of consent agreements between the PGCB's Office of Enforcement Counsel and the casino license holder.
In one incident, an individual who placed themself on the PGCB's Self-Exclusion list participated in table game gambling over a four day period from June 29 to July 3, 2012. The PGCB's Self-Exclusion Program permits problem gamblers to ban themselves from gambling at Pennsylvania casinos. While a person is on the Self-Exclusion List, gaming facilities in the Commonwealth must refuse wagers from and deny any gaming privileges to that person. The Self-Excluded individual also agrees that they could be charged with criminal trespass if they enter a Pennsylvania casino.
It was the second time during 2012 in which this individual violated the Self-Exclusion ban. In both instances, this same individual was charged with defiant trespass by the Pennsylvania State Police, and had all winnings confiscated.
Another incident occurred in August 2012 when another person on the PGCB's Self-Exclusion List played slot machines and gambled at table games at the SugarHouse Casino. He was also charged with defiant trespass by the Pennsylvania State Police, and had all winnings confiscated.
HSP Gaming agreed to pay a $10,000 fine for permitting these Self-Exclusion List violations.
A third incident occurred in May 2012 in which an individual that had been placed on the PGCB's Exclusion List, Arthur K. Garner, was permitted to enter SugarHouse Casino and gamble on two separate occasions. The Exclusion List consists of career or professional offenders, cheats and other individuals whose presence in a licensed facility would be inimical to the interest of the Commonwealth, of licensed gaming, or both. Upon placement on the Exclusion List by the Board, any person on the list are to be excluded or ejected from licensed facilities in Pennsylvania.
In this case, Mr. Garner had been placed on the Exclusion List by the Board in 2011 for his alleged involvement in the robbery of gaming chips from another Pennsylvania casino. After being identified as an Excluded Patron, Mr. Garner was charged with defiant trespass by the Pennsylvania State Police.
The next meeting of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is scheduled for 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, January 9, 2013 in the PGCB's Public Hearing Room located on the second floor of Strawberry Square in Harrisburg.

Former U.S. Rep. Asa Hutchinson says he's raised more than $350,000 in his bid for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in Arkansas.
Hutchinson on Wednesday said he was officially kicking off his candidacy for the state's top office now that he's completed a school safety study for the National Rifle Association.
Hutchinson in January said he planned to seek the GOP nomination.
Hutchinson said his campaign will report raising more than $350,000 for the first three months of the year and will have $346,000 cash on hand.
Little Rock businessman Curtis Coleman is the other announced Republican candidate for governor.
Former Lt. Gov. Bill Halter is seeking the Democratic nomination. Former U.S. Rep. Mike Ross has said he's considering joining the race and is expected to announce his decision next Wednesday.

If this happened to a Jet, there would be plenty of fans living in denial trying to theorize his innocence and/or arguing against a rush to judgement. It's called human nature. There is nothing especially "evil" or "immoral" about the Pats fanbase, sorry. This is your day in the sun, have at it, but pretending that fanbase is in any way unique across NFL or sports fans is baseless. Plenty of good people and plenty of jackasses, like anywhere else.
By the way, your continual pollyanna take on off-field situations like this comes across as extremely disingenuous. The NFL and professional sports in general is filled with bad people. Stop acting so faux outraged, like you can't believe these things happen, and often.

This is just my opinion and probably will be the minority given the circumstances as we know it. But I do think these players, boys in men's bodies, need to begin to act like adults. We would not do what some of these athletes/entertainers do. And they are so self-consumed/ego-driven that they believe they can get away with it.
I think he is the triggerman. If I'm wrong, ill never post again.
If he wasn't, you don't lose as much if you just come forward and tell the truth. The only reason to be so deceptive at this point is to save your ass. Ray Lewis came forward. Why doesn't this piece of sh!t do the same?

No doubt the Pats get preferential treatment but you're taking a huge leap there.
Why are we comparing Goodson to Hernandez? Hernandez likely shot the boyfriend -- his friend, supposedly -- of his baby mama's sister in the face and dumped his body in an industrial park. He then proceeded to have his house scrubbed by a team of maids, smashed his cell phone, and his security system. He's had dogs and cops pulling his place apart for evidence and is likely to be charged with a felony, maybe murder.
This doesn't even touch on the other drug and gun related in incidents in his past.
Goodson got drunk and fell asleep on the ride home from the bar.

My argument has been very simple and singular, and yet you continue to refuse to grasp it or concede to it to any degree.
Hernandez is done as a Patriot and possibly in this league depending on the outcome. It's very silly that you are throwing your arms up because the league and Pats organization are taking a steadied, calculated approach to an almost unprecedented situation before making decisions.

Marlins 5, Brewers 4
MIAMI (AP) – Giancarlo Stanton hit his first homer since coming off the disabled list, a two-run drive with two outs in the eighth inning that lifted the Miami Marlins to a 5-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night. With Juan Pierre on first, Stanton connected on the first pitch from Jim Henderson (2-2), sending a drive over the wall in left-center. It was his fourth home run this year. He was activated from the DL on Monday. Chad Qualls (2-0) pitched a perfect eighth and Steve Cishek a scoreless ninth for his seventh save. Derek Dietrich had a two-run homer for Miami, which has won three of four. The Brewers took a 4-3 lead in the seventh when Yuniesky Betancourt tripled in a run to tie it before scoring the go-ahead run on pinch-hitter Scooter Gennett's suicide squeeze.

I keep reading that one should keep a list of all of the family history/genealogy related books so as to avoid making duplicate purchases. As I was reviewing the FGS 2010 lectures that are now available on JAMB, it occurred to me the other day that it might be a good idea to do the same with genealogy lectures.
At first I didn't think I had purchased enough to make it worth my while to put together a list. Then I remembered all of the lectures I purchased from Lulu.com from the 2006 FGS Boston conference. I started a list.
As it turns out, I have purchased more than 80 lectures over the years to while away the time on the treadmill and while toting kids to and fro. And yes, there are some that I almost ordered again so I am glad I was able to avoid ordering duplicates.
I made a simple Excel spreadsheet with columns for Lecturer, Title and Conference. Since it's in Excel, it's easy to change how it's sorted. I'll be making an Excel list for my genealogy books too. Right now that list is on a piece of notebook paper.

Sorting Saturday - Inventory of Genealogy Lectures
2 comments:
Great Idea! I did an excel for my quilting books years ago with two tabs. One is the books in alphabetical order and the other is for the authors in alphabetical order. I like the two tabs instead of sorting the one tab all the time but it could be done that way also.
The hard part is remembering to add new books when I purchase them.
Ambitious project, but then, you are very organized. I have to tell you, I was at the FGS conf. in Boston for 4 days, part volunteering for NEHGS and part attending.ReplyDelete

John Lloyd Young: My Turn
The Tony Award winning Jersey Boys alum's comforting new show at Café Carlyle floats on pop's classic love songs.
Cabaret is not an iPod with a shuffle switch, so take note before heading to former Broadway Jersey Boys star John Lloyd Young's new show, My Turn, now at the Café Carlyle—this 80-minute evening is the equivalent of having your radio tuned to an easy listening station that can't be turned off.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. Starting off with the song most expected to be Young's encore--The Four Seasons' catchy "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You," arguably the biggest hit off Jersey Boys playlist--the baby-faced crooner smoothly works his way through beautifully-crafted romantic classics like "Since I Fell For You," "You Belong to Me," and "Unchained Melody" with the kind of passion that makes every woman in the house (and most of the men, I imagine) feel like the singer's own personal valentine.
Young later unleashes his famed falsetto, so impressive during that Tony Award-winning stint as Frankie Valli, on an impressive version of "Hey There, Lonely Girl." (Though he admits, with charm, the song was much easier to perform in the recording studio than it was live.) Additionally thrilling are the moments when tenor shows off his soulful side, as done to vocal audience approval on the R&B favorites "Show and Tell," "Let's Stay Together" and "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me."
In addition to a program of crowd-pleasers, the element that makes Young's solo show work as well it does is the pop-savvy song arrangements of musical director and keyboardist Tommy Farragher, all of which benefit from the sensitive playing of a six-piece, string-heavy band. Add a couple of back-up singers (not that there would be any room for them on the tiny Carlyle stage) and these singles might even sound better in the hands of Young's ensemble than they did in their heyday.
Still, My Turn could benefit from the inclusion of more lesser-known material. There was a particular pleasure in discovering Randy Newman's beautiful "Just One Smile" and Ronnie Bird and Pierre Papadiamandis' "Say No More" (introduced as the "best Roy Orbison song that was never released"), the only two tunes new to my ears. Young could also streamline his patter a bit, especially some of the early introductions that focused on the history of the Carlyle, and which slowed the evening's momentum.
While My Turn might not fully satisfy every cabaret-goer, if you're the kind of person who relishes the best slow-romance tunes of the 1950s through the 1970s you'll find this smartly put-together program is, as Young aptly puts it, the "musical equivalent of comfort food." Believe me, you won't leave hungry.

The glass:
1/2 empty: Stewart could be quite a pitcher down the road, Roenicke seemed to be a decent reliever and EE could end up hitting ok. And Rolen could go back to his gimpy ways.
1/2 full: Defense is upgraded tremendously--3b is better and Votto won't have to work as hard at 1b. The Reds still have lots of prospects to develop and/or trade. Rolen is a much more consistent hitter than EE and makes LF easier to fill (no need for as big a bat as before).

Music prof to perform at Carnegie Hall
Thursday, September 19, 2013
Juyeon Kang, an award-winning Steinway artist and Northwestern College music professor who has performed on four continents, will present a piano recital in Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall in New York City on Saturday, Oct. 19, at 2 p.m. The performance will be a benefit concert for victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Kang, a member of Northwestern's faculty since 2003, will present "Joyful Dances." Her concert will feature dance music by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy and Piazzolla.
A native of Korea, Kang launched a performance career that included her debut solo recital in Boston's Jordan Hall after winning two first prizes in 1998: the Heida Hermann's Young Artists Competition and the Josef Hofmann Piano Competition. She has performed extensively around the world, including a concert at the Polish embassy in Washington, D.C., on the 150th anniversary of Chopin's death and appearances as a soloist with the Korean Symphony Orchestra and South Dakota Symphony Orchestra.
Classik Reviews wrote that Kang's playing "is distinguished for her firm, beautiful tone, her strong sense of rhythm, and her ability to create indelible characterizations." A review from American Record Guide said she "played heartily" with "a considerable amount of charm and always beautiful tone control."
Ticket prices for the Carnegie Hall recital are $40; $20 for seniors and students. They can be purchased at the Carnegie Hall Box Office, via CarnegieCharge at 212-247-7800 or at www.carnegiehall.org. The senior/student price is only available at the Box Office, located at 57th and Seventh.
A post-concert reception with Kang will be held at Marble Collegiate Church, 274 Fifth Avenue at 29th Street, from 4 to 5:30 p.m
Proceeds from the concert will be used by the RCA Care Network, the disaster response arm of the Reformed Church in America, to help people along the East Coast in the ongoing recovery from Hurricane Sandy.
"I seek to express my Christian faith through music," says Kang, who notes that the theme verse for her concert, Jeremiah 31:4, can provide comfort for those who suffered losses from Sandy: "I will build you up again … Again you will take up your tambourines and go out to dance with the joyful." She explains, "I've always desired to perform in Carnegie Hall, but I wanted this opportunity to benefit others. I'm pleased I can partner with the RCA Care Network and help those in the New York area who are still rebuilding their lives."
The Carnegie Hall concert coincides with the release of Kang's second recording. Also entitled "Joyful Dances," it includes much of the repertoire from her recital as well as a piece from Robert Schumann. Her first album, "Joyful Noise," debuted in 2007.
Kang earned doctoral and master's degrees in piano performance and literature, as well as a master's degree in pedagogy of music theory, at Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y., where she was awarded a distinguished performer's certificate. Kang earned a bachelor's degree in music at Seoul National University and the prestigious artist diploma in piano performance from the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where she was on the faculty in the college division.

Who in the dark and silent grave
When we have wandered all our ways
Shuts up the story of our days,
And from which earth, and grave, and dust
The Lord will raise me up, I trust.
Furthermore, this is not a detailed history of past Ozark County Jails, but it's an account that runs much deeper than that.
|The Old Ozark County Jail
in Gainesville, Missouri.
As a child, my dad or mom would, in the summer, take me to the home of Junior & Viola Peters; Viola would watch me in the summers while my parents worked. Viola was the other lady to babysit me, when my Granny Anderson was unavailable. The Peters lived on T Highway, about 3 miles west of Mammoth, Missouri. They both went to my family church, Mammoth Assembly of God. Moreover, since they went to church there, I figured, they must be family somehow or somewhere near it. For years I called Viola, "Aunt Viola," as a term of endearment, even though she was not my aunt. As I grew older, I took up the custom of calling her "Sister Viola" at church because that's how everybody greeted everyone else at church, out of respect, if they were not blood related. It was always "Brother" or "Sister." Brother Junior & Sister Viola were always faithful to come to church, and they would always sit in the same place, on the right hand side…four rows back.
- Turn back my child
- For the way is very steep
- The things you'll find out there
- You cannot keep
- The way is filled with thorns
- And the things you'll find are cheap
- Turn back my child, come home with me
|The view from the corner of Junior & Viola Peters' house
overlooking the old Gainesville City Hall &
the old Ozark County Jail below to the right.

Apple said to have 3G-enabled iPod in pipeline
Cutting voice ties with carriers?
Apple may be gearing up to release a version of the iPod Touch with 3G cellular connectivity built-in.
So suggests Dutch-language fansite AppleSpot without shaying who told dem and vot was being shmoked during de convurshashion.
It's certainly a bizarre notion since Apple would undoubteldy hope any iPod Touch owner wanting a 3G links out-of-range-of-Wi-Fi communications would buy an iPhone or an iPad.
Then again, an iPod enabled for data might make a lot of sense in the context of iCloud. Though, again, Wi-Fi would be sufficient.
And, short of design tweaks, there aren't many other features Apple can add to the iPod Touch that it might well bolt on 3G data access simply to refresh the product.
Conspiracy theorists will like this notion: a 3G iPod Touch as mobile messaging device that lets Apple do VoIP, video calling and instant messaging WITHOUT CARRIER PARTNERS.
Except, of course, where is it going to get 3G data access from?
Maybe it's time to dust off those old Apple-as-virtual-network-operator rumours...
Our own Apple source said of the Netherlands-sourced news: "If this rumour is true, I'm a Dutchman." ®

This meal is the holiday favorite that is so good, Julia and Jacques recommend it for any day of the year...Roast Turkey with sausage and cornbread stuffing, gravy made the old-fashioned way from the pan-drippings, accompanied by creamed onions and a zesty Cranberry-Apple Chutney. The "not-quite..." which has to be seen, is the inventive way the turkey is cut-up before cooking, and then roasted and re-assembled for serving.

Gambling Addiction Enabler: UFC 102
(Between the Frank Mir fight and "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot," I'd say some apologies are in order. I'll let you gentlemen decide who would like to go first.)
Gambling ain't what it used to be in the city of Portland. The dogs don't run at the old Multnomah Greyhound Track anymore, so you'll have to find somewhere else to get stabbed with a pocketknife. The Oregon lottery just doesn't give you that sweet, out-of-control feeling you crave. Even the place where I used to go and watch the occasional cockfight has closed its doors. Thankfully, UFC 102 is coming down this weekend and bringing plenty of action with it. Let's take a look, shall we?
Betting lines come to us courtesy of BestFightOdds.com:
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (+150) vs. Randy Couture (-160)

Lady Rovers nip ECC 3-2 in overtime
ST. MARYS - It took 2:25 of the overtime period for the Brockway Lady Rovers to complete their rally and go home from Benzinger Park Thursday afternoon with a 3-2 victory over the Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders in girls' varsity soccer action.Brockway freshman Julie Esposito got in behind the ECC defense and scored the winning goal after the Lady Rovers had come from two goals down.The Lady Crusaders built a 2-0 lead early in the second half. Senior Jena Struble scored off a cross from classmate Abbi Petrosky with 36:34 left to play. Then, with 28:43 remaining on the clock, sophomore Emma Daghir tallied when her classmate Michaela Cashmer kept alive a ball in from of the goal following an ECC corner kick.It was a little over seven minutes later when Brockway clawed back into the game. Esposito scored her first goal with 21:02 showing on the clock. Then with only 6:13 to play, Payton Benninger took advantage of a Brockway corner kick to score."We definitely let one slip away today," said ECC coach Don Fabiano following the game. "We missed some chances to score early in the game, then we couldn't finish them (Brockway) off after going up 2-0."It was the second time in the last three games the Lady Crusaders had built a 2-0 lead, only to see it evaporate. ECC gave up two goals in the last nine minutes to Bradford last Friday before winning that game in overtime 3-2."Brockway is just too good a team to let them hang around. We need to develop a little more killer instinct in these games," Fabiano said.In the game, ECC held a 21-12 advantage in shots on goal and a 9-1 edge in corner kicks. "We had the ball in their end plenty enough times. There were just too many missed opportunities," Fabiano said. "It may sound funny that in a loss you would point to a strong defensive effort, but the four players of Sam Zimmerman, Morgan Onink, Erin Petrosky and Michelle Imbrogno deserve a lot of credit for the job they do."The loss drops the Lady Crusaders to 3-4 on the season. ECC will be back in action Saturday morning at 10 a.m. hosting St. Marys Area at Benzinger Park.

EGD - esophagogastroduodenoscopy
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a test to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine.
How is the Test Performed?
EGD is done in the hospital or medical center. The procedure uses an endoscope. This is a flexible tube with a camera at the end.
The procedure is done as follows:
- You receive medicine into a vein to help you relax. You should feel no pain and not remember the procedure.
- A local anesthetic may be sprayed into your mouth to prevent you from coughing or gagging when the endoscope is inserted. A mouth guard is used to protect your teeth and the endoscope. Dentures must be removed before the procedure begins.
- You then lie on your left side.
- The scope is inserted through the esophagus (food pipe) to the stomach and duodenum. Air is put through the endoscope to make it easier for the doctor to see.
- The lining of the esophagus, stomach, and upper duodenum is examined. Biopsies can be taken through the endoscope. Biopsies are tissue samples that are looked at under the microscope.
- Different treatments may be done, such as stretching or widening a narrowed area of the esophagus.
After the test is finished, you will not be able to have food and liquid until your gag reflex returns (so you do not choke).
The test lasts about 5 to 20 minutes.
Preparation for the Test
You will not be able to eat anything for 6 to 12 hours before the test. Follow instructions about stopping aspirin and other blood-thinning medicines before the test.
How the Test will Feel
The anesthetic spray makes it hard to swallow. This wears off shortly after the procedure. The scope may make you gag.
You may feel gas and the movement of the scope in your abdomen. You will not be able to feel the biopsy. Because of sedation, you may not feel any discomfort and have no memory of the test.
You may feel bloated from the air that was put into your body. This feeling soon wears off.
Why is the Test Performed?
EGD may be done if you have symptoms that are new, cannot be explained, or are not responding to treatment, such as:
- Black or tarry stools or vomiting blood
- Bringing food back up (regurgitation)
- Feeling full sooner than normal or after eating less than usual
- Feeling that food is stuck behind the breastbone
- Heartburn
- Low blood count (anemia) that cannot be explained
- Pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen
- Swallowing problems or pain with swallowing
- Weight loss that cannot be explained
- Nausea or vomiting that does not go away
Your doctor may also order this test if you:
- Have cirrhosis of the liver, to look for swollen veins (called varices) in the walls of the lower part of the esophagus, which may begin to bleed
- Have Crohn disease
- Need more follow-up or treatment for a condition that has been diagnosed
The test may also be used to take a piece of tissue for biopsy.
Normal Results for EGD - esophagogastroduodenoscopy
The esophagus, stomach, and duodenum should be smooth and of normal color. There should be no bleeding, growths, ulcers, or inflammation.
What Abnormal Results Mean
An abnormal EGD may be the result of:
- Celiac disease
- Esophageal rings
- Esophageal varices (swollen veins in the lining of the esophagus caused by liver cirrhosis)
- Esophagitis (lining of the esophagus becomes is inflamed or swollen)
- Gastritis (lining of the stomach and duodenum is inflamed or swollen)
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (a condition in which food or liquid from the stomach leaks backwards into the esophagus)
- Hiatal hernia (a condition in which part of the stomach sticks up into the chest through an opening in the diaphragm)
- Lower esophageal ring
- Mallory-Weiss syndrome (tear in the esophagus)
- Narrowing of the esophagus
- Tumors or cancer in the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum (first part of small intestine)
- Ulcers - gastric (stomach) or duodenal (small intestine)
EGD - esophagogastroduodenoscopy Risks
There is a small chance of a hole (perforation) in the stomach, duodenum, or esophagus from the scope moving through these areas. There is also a small risk of bleeding at the biopsy site.
You could have a reaction to the medicine used during the procedure, which could cause:
- Apnea (not breathing)
- Difficulty breathing (respiratory depression)
- Excessive sweating
- Low blood pressure (hypotension)
- Slow heartbeat (bradycardia)
- Spasm of the larynx (laryngospasm)

Haven't made this in years and was looking for something tasty, so I made some sauce, braciola and pork neck bones for a treat! :biggrin-new:\
I wish I had some flank steak but all I had was bottom round, I pounded the snot out of it but it did not get as thin as I would have liked. Oh well.
I made a simple tomato sauce of crushed tomatos, a stick of butter, an onion halved and some fresh basil, put in pot and let simmer.
Peferably flank steak, but you can use top or bottom round pounded thin. Cut into 8 rectangles
8 slices of prosciutto ham
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup shredded provolone
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup shredded parmesan
2 TBSP fresh parsley
Chopped fire roasted red bell peppers
3 cloves minced garlic
2 Tbsp EVOO
1/4 cup Chopped portobello mushrooms and diced onion sweated for abougt 5 minutes, let cool. Mix all ingredients together.
1/2 cup white wine for deglazing
Lay out the pounded beef and start with a slice of proscuitto then a generous portion of the mixture, roll up and secure with toothpicks.
When done, put 2 TBSP Evoo in a pan and brown the braciola on all sides, deglaze with white wine and drop into sauce, cover and simmer for 2 hours. Take off lid and reduce for 1/2 hour and enjoy with some pasta! Ooops, S+P the meat before browning!
Get ready to assemble

Okay, I know I am a paranoid so-and-so.But am I the only one who wondered, "gee, I wonder why these people are so interested in gathering a list of kids who live nearby, and ingratiating themselves with the kids and their families as The Nice Neighbor Who Gives Good Candy?"My DH is in marketing, and so much of it is about creating a group of "insiders" who willingly give up their info in order to get special treats - so you can then use that info later, and make them more open to your solicitations.So are these neighbors going to be soliciting for Amway, or a political campaign, or ....something worse?
All it is going to take is one smart kid with a camera phone to take a photo of said flyer and post it on the internet and they are suddendly going to have a lot more people pre registering than they expected
I had no idea the Grinch also stole Halloween.
Ok, so then Halloween comes, and you get this steady stream of kids of all ages. Every once in a while, someone yells out "Trick or Treat! Oh, and I pre-registered!" And now the person at the door has to stop everything and check the list. And if the kid's on it, he or she gets "the good stuff." And this happens in full view of people who didn't know about the pre-registering bit. So they start asking. And now this family has a big crowd in front of their house; some are pre-registered, some aren't, some are asking, some are answering. But, as is the nature of large crowds passing along information, not everyone is getting the full story. So they're asking again. And some people are voicing their disagreement with the "policy." And some kids are saying they pre-registered, but their name isn't on the list. Or it's there, but it's been checked off already, so they're being accused of double dipping. So the next year, the family decides to install one of those fingerprint reading machines like they have at the entrances to the Disney parks. And then we find that some kids are pre-registering more than once and with different names. And if you didn't pre-register but you live close by, you can still get a good treat, but you have to swear that you are telling the truth and sign and have notarized an affidavit saying that you agree to the terms and conditions of the contract and you will give back the candy if and when someone is able to prove that you actually did pre-register AND already got good candy.Honestly, this is way too much effort for something that's supposed to be fun.

What has certainly been of pressing concern this year is the future for continued democracy in Latin America. Although the northern cone nations of Central America, as well as several of their South American neighbors, continue to demonstrate unstable positions of democratic government, Argentina is exhibiting even weaker enforcement of law and order.
Argentina is a beautiful and vibrant country with incredible natural resources. As well, Argentina has traditionally radiated freedom and an intense patriotic pride, and it has been a good ally of the U.S. Much of the U.S. culture is seen in Argentina's youth.
Argentina's diverse and rich culture of Spanish, Italian and other European origins has uniquely placed the country in a previous posture of friendly open arms. Yet now, it is hardly recognizable from the standpoint of government left-leaning agendas that threaten freedoms and a previous vivacious quality of life.
It is hoped that President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and her closest government advisers are not standing at attention to the rhetorical meanderings of Venezuela's leftist President Hugo Chavez's -- leaning away from an erect posture of firm democratic decisions to a somewhat out of full control and non-transparent political mode.
Chavez's meddling in Argentina's political affairs and reputation became clear in November 2005, at the Summit of the Americas in Mar del Plata. Chavez rallied and joined 20,000 people in a soccer stadium, coyly enlisting Argentina's legendary soccer hero Diego Maradona -- a loyal fanatic of Chavez, Fidel Castro, and the former Argentine revolutionist Che Guevara. The rally was obviously an orchestration to take advantage of the world media in order to demonstrate hatred of the U.S. Voracious shouts of "exterminate the empire" (a popular and current Chavez chant) were followed by a tirade of Chavez expletives.
Later, the Chavez regime was accused of funneling "hundreds of thousands of dollars" to the presidential campaign of Cristina in 2007, as Chavez was planning to visit Argentina in August "to refinance billions of U.S. dollars in Argentine debt through bond purchases and announce a natural gas deal."
On August 4, 2007, Guido Alejandro Antonini Wilson and Venezuelan state officials arrived in Argentina on a private flight -- hired by Argentine and Venezuelan state oil officials -- carrying US$790,550 in cash. Wilson did not declare the money upon arrival. Opponents and critics immediately pounced on the incident as proof that Chavez "was buying the support of the Kirchner government and proof of corruption." Cristina took office as president in October 2007.
Hugo Chavez's decision to kick the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) out of Venezuela also caught on with Bolivia's leftist President Evo Morales. Furthermore, Ecuador's Rafael Correa refused to renew the drug interdiction base at Manta for U.S. drug interdiction efforts in the region. And Argentina's cooperation with interdiction efforts has also waned, resulting in an increased prominence in the drug trade; and earning it the label of "the new narco state" according to a number of pundits.
It was recently reported that Argentina has the highest prevalence of cocaine use among adults in South America. From a previously secondary shipping hub for drugs destined for Europe, international trafficking groups have now expanded their activities within Argentina, "increasing exportation and transforming it from a transit point into a destination for consumption and synthesis."
In 2008, Argentina "surpassed its neighbors and the U.S. as the highest prevalence of cocaine use in the Western Hemisphere," according to an April 19 piece in Foreign Affairs. "Argentines now consume five times more cocaine than the global average and [have] one of the highest usage rates in the world."
As equally troubling for Argentina is their listing by the U.S. as a destination country for women and children trafficked for sexual and labor exploitation. Most victims in this human trafficking are brought from rural to urban areas to be exploited.
Moreover, President Christina Fernandez de Kirchner raised eyebrows after joining neighboring leftist governments in voting to support a Palestinian state.
An early advisor and "global political strategist" to Hugo Chavez, Norberto Ceresole, advised that Latin America "must forge alliances with Arab nations to fight against the U.S.," and what he called "the Jewish financial mafia." Chavez subsequently played a major role at the first South American-Arab Summit in Brazil, attacking the U.S. and Israel as the chief enemies of Latin America.
On 25 October 2010, President Fernandez de Kirchner presided over a ceremony reopening the Pilcaniyeu (Rio Negro) uranium enrichment complex, where she emphasized "the peaceful intentions of the project."
And now, the Argentine President has announced that her government will seize controlling interest in the YPF oil company in Argentina, 51 percent of which is owned by the Spanish oil concern Repsol. This action mirrors many of Chavez's actions in nationalizing businesses in Venezuela, which subsequently caught on in Ecuador and Bolivia.
Argentina is clearly up to its waist in festering alligators, representing an ever increasing fall into the serious mistakes of neighboring leftist dictatorships that have left their homelands with increasingly violent crime and economic despair. Even the elusive fugitive Mexican drug lord "El Chapo" (Shorty) Guzman was reported to be living in Argentina until 2011.

They wanted to stay around long enough for the band to play an encore. Or at least to drink a cup or two of victory punch.
However, it was not to be here Friday night at St. John Arena on the campus of Ohio State. The Lady Bisons ended their 25-match winning streak with a 3-0 loss to the California Golden Bears, the No. 9 seed and the No. 10 team in the country, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
The Lady Bisons lost set one 25-15., set two 25-22 and set three 25-9.
"We were happy to get to the tournament, but for the program's sake and for this team's sake we want to go to the next level," said Lady Bisons coach Brandon Rosenthal. "Unfortunately, that didn't happen. In the future you will see us here many times again.
"Anybody who comes to this tournament has had a good year. In our case it has been an exceptional year. It was a year we felt like we could go to the next level. We have to earn respect and we didn't earn it."
Rosenthal had been worried about the impact of Cal setter Carli Lloyd. But in the end it was outside hitter Hana Cutura, the Pac-10 Player of the Year, who was the dominant figure in the match.
In the first two sets Cutura was credited with 16 kills. She finished with a match-high 20. The Lady Bisons, as a team, made only 24 kills in the first two sets. Junior outside hitter Meghan Hinemeyer led the Lady Bisons with nine kills and junior middle hitter Alex Kelly added eight for the match.
Lloyd was credited with 38 assists. Lady Bisons junior setter Stefine "Jake" Pease made 24, her lowest total of the season.
"Lloyd did a fantastic job of distributing the ball," said Rosenthal. "Unfortunately, in some spots, we didn't take care of our business in following the game plan.
"You can see why Cutura is the Pac-10 Player of the Year. And you could see why we were successful all year. You saw some good things out of us, too."
Kelly, the Atlantic Sun Player of the Year for the past two seasons, was angered by the way the Lady Bisons performed.
"This was just another volleyball game, and we were supposed to play the way we played all season," said Kelly. "We came here and played a great team. But if we are not going to play our game when we come here to play the big dogs it is not going to happen for us.
"So the next time we come here we have to do what we have done all season, and that is to work hard. I don't think we worked hard in the first and third sets. We didn't give it everything we had."
Cal had 44 kills to the Lady Bisons 29 and 37 digs compared with 32 by the Lady Bisons. Cal posted a .453 hitting percentage as a team. The Lady Bisons finished with a .120 hitting percentage.
"The girls realized we deserved to be here, but, as we have said all year long, there is a difference between trying and doing," said Rosenthal. "This is a lesson they are going to have to take with them.
"As I went back in the locker room it was hard to find the words to say. But if this program is going to move forward we have to be real with ourselves. We have to own up to our own responsibilities and this time we didn't."
Set three was controlled from the start by Cal. The Golden Bears jumped out to a 6-0 lead, before the Lady Bisons scored.
"Between two and three we talked about the second set," said Rosenthal. 'I told them we had let one get away and all of sudden we were behind the eight ball. I told them to forget about the score and everything that had gone on. I told them to just go out and play.
"Cal is a tremendous team. They have had tremendous success. But we have to hold up our end of the bargain."
In set two the Lady Bisons spotted Cal the first three points and battle back to take the lead. The set was close with neither team leading by more than two point until the Lady Bisons took a 15-12 advantage. Cal battled back to tied the match at 16-16.
But the Lady Bisons again took the lead at 17-16. Cal would tied the set again at 17-17, but again the Lady Bisons took an 18-17 lead. Cal tied the set at 18-18 and then took a 20-18 lead. The Lady Bisons stayed close. A kill by middle hitter Amy Trykowski pulled the Lady Bisons to within one point at 23-22, but Cal prevailed.
"We played our game in the second set," said Kelly. "We didn't play our game in the first and third sets. We got what we deserve."
With the score tied 2-2 in set one Cal went on a 6-1 run to take control of the set. Cutura led the first set with six kills. Hinemeyer and Kelly each had three for the Lady Bisons.
"It was more about what we didn't do," said Rosenthal. "In the first and third sets I didn't think we passed the ball very well at all. When you play a faster tempo offense, and you are playing against a taller team, you have to pass well.
"We had been passing the all year long. It was a rough time to have a bad passing match. In sets one and three we couldn't get into a rhythm. And there were a lot of firepower on the other side."
This was the second NCAA Tournament for the Lady Bisons in the past three seasons. Both times they have played in Ohio, losing in the first round to No. 15-seed Dayton in 2007.
This was the eighth straight appearance by Cal in the NCAA Tournament. They have won all eight of their first round matches during that span.
"The first year it was exciting, but this time around we wanted something more," said Pease. "We have to worry about what is happening on our side of the net. That is what we practice day-in and day-out. We need to carry that into next year."
The Lady Bisons ended the season with a program best 28-4 record. Cal is 19-10 overall.
Fans make the trip: The Lady Bisons had a large group of fans in the stands with several members of the baseball and softball teams along with their coaching staffs on hand.
Dr. Phil Kinser from the Bible department was a special guest of the team.

AND a BRAND NEW song with Ne-yo!!!
Good Girl Going Bad
While we're waiting for the album, here is some of her nicest songs and some cool remixes.
AND a BRAND NEW song with Ne-yo!!!
.::It's the DICK LICKA! The BABY SIPPA! Ain't a bitch alive make a fella CUM QUICKA!::.
Bona to vada
Thx, i'll check it out now. Rihanna is such a hard worker and you can tell she is serious about her career and that she really wants it.
I'll be happy when she gets her first grammy. Truth be told she should have already gotton a grammy for S.O.S as that was the best dance recording last year next to "Hung Up" or "Sorry" by Madonna.
Sexyback my a$$.
And if Beyonce sang UNFAITHFUL, it would have won a grammy, because its such a beautiful and real song, but the academy is hating on little miss sunshine, but its all good, keep doing your thing Rihanna, they can't ignore your talents forever.
With str8 men, all you need is time.
^^^^LOL! Yeah, she was one of Jay-Z's early signings to the "new" Def Jam when he became president. He also personally signed Rihanna at the same time.
As you can guess, one of them failed to catch on and the other exploded.....
***missin' my jub*** xoxo
I like Rihanna Feat. Fabolous - First Time and i think "Hate That I Love You" is just ok for me. Rihanna's voice stands out to me on this track though, her voice has really matured. I don't think she blends well with Neyo's voice. And i don't like the "sexylove" sample throughout the song.
I am listening to Rihanna's interview from the Ryan Seacrest radio show. Ryan is hilarious trying to get into her personal business LOL.
I nearly cried towards the end of the interview because she is so sweet and she said that Jay Z said, Good Girl Gone Bad, is the album that will make her or break her and it "will determine if do this any longer" . I love her spirit though because, she said nobody is going to break her, and that she is determined to make it . She said she put her all into this album. She said she worked with Timberland and Justin Timberlake. She says the album track for track is incredible and she hopes her fans like her new sound.
I hope i like it too.
I don't know why Jay Z and Def Jam are putting so much pressure on Rihanna with this album, because they signed her to a 6 - 9 album deal and her last CD went platinum and she has won numerous awards all over the world, most recently 4 billboard awards besting Beyonce and Mary J Blige.
They need to not put so much presure on her because you could hear the sadness in her voice that this album will determine the rest of her young career.
Her accent is so cute and she is so down to earth. She flew up her 2 best friends from Barbados and even took them with her on tour but she said that they had to go back to school. One of them was in radio studio with her.
She said she doesn't really have a home base right now and literally has been living out of a suitcase and from hotel room to hotel room, but says, she is currently looking for residence in Los Angeles.
With str8 men, all you need is time.
This girl has had like what 3 or 4 top ten hits over the past two years?!? But there is like 20 new posts on her everyday here?
Does her dad own this site?
I am not amused by this album cover, seems like someone went photoshop crazy
With str8 men, all you need is time.
I agree. It looks like a promo cover. But she does look amazing as usual!
Terrible... [thumbs down]
..There's Things I Haven't Told You.. I Go Out Late At Night..
And If I Was To Tell You.. You'd See My Different Side..
I think its funny that Amerie and Rihanna were a part of this...considering they have both had rumored conflicts with Beyonce since she went solo.
.::It's the DICK LICKA! The BABY SIPPA! Ain't a bitch alive make a fella CUM QUICKA!::.
i think she needs to go away for a minute.
No....you're thinking of Beyonce....Beyonce needs to die for like a year or two...and then get revived and then she'll steal somebody else's style (like she did Amerie's for B'Day) and be all over the radio and TV.
I never really payed attention to Rihanna until recently. I loved Pon De Replay...but the rest of her songs were just meh to me. So I never noticed when they played her on the radio.
After Good Girl Gone Bad I agree that it would be a wise decision for her to take some time off before her next album, she doesn't wanna go and pull a Beyonce. That bitch is tired.
.::It's the DICK LICKA! The BABY SIPPA! Ain't a bitch alive make a fella CUM QUICKA!::.
Ok i had to force myself to like it but now i think do like, "Hate That I Love You", i still don't like that "sexylove" is sampled so much in the song, but it should make the album.
With str8 men, all you need is time.
Bring It Back - This song better make the album as its Rihanna at her best when she rides an island beat.
The world was first introdiced to hear with Pon De Replay, telling the DJ to "turn the music the up" and now this is part two with her telling the DJ to "Bring it back a again" nice summer jam and the beat is nice. Its like a more uptempo "If Its Loving That You Want" beat.
With str8 men, all you need is time.
I mean i knew it would happen eventually, as she is young, pretty, successful and has that cute accent but it still caught me by surprize especially since she recently said she is single and just focusing on her new album and career.
"Celeb tattles are dishing that R&B/pop singer Rihanna has been dating former B2K lead singer Omarion.
"The two have been dating two-and-a-half months and "the connection was instant," says the snitch.
The spywitness continued: "They've been seeing each other whenever they're both in L.A-going to the movies and dinners. Things are heating up."
Omaion? seriously Rihanna? You could do SO MUCH better.
Ri Ri you need to upgrade Omarion, but i guess it could be worse, she could be dating Bow Wow lol.
On a more awesome note, i finally heard UMBRELLA on the radio today and i was excited , i was singing and bopping LOL, its such an awesome song. It sounds ten times better on the radio.
Can't wait for the video.
Rihanna rocks
With str8 men, all you need is time.
Rihanna is stunningly beautiful.....with Omarion?
I mean, he's not ugly or anything, but yeah she should be with someone equally as hot.
***missin' my jub*** xoxo
If they make each other happy then thats all that should matter.
Now this is what i am talking about.
Way to go Rihanna, damn she looks good, and i don't even like girls, but this cover is smoking.
Official Album Cover
With str8 men, all you need is time.
What a relief.
Rihanna is on video saying she is "absolutely not" dating Omarion.
With str8 men, all you need is time.
She cannot help but look terrific! She makes me question my 'gayness'. Have to go look at guys for a minute....
Yea i like the new one better.
I heard UMBRELLA on the radio again. It was number 3 on a top 10 countdown show.
With UMBRELLA its like awesome and incredible had sex and UMBRELLA is their baby.
Ella, ella, LOL
With str8 men, all you need is time.
She's hot. I'd totally root her...
Now if only I could get hard for women
Official album cover is also MUCH better.
Oh my gosh guys the UMBRELLA music video is totally awesome .
It's almost epic and has pyrotechnics falling down and diamond glitter raining down while Rihanna ballets.
She is so sexy in those fishnet stockings and red stiletto heels with the Umbrella opened.
Wow the only thing for me is that she could have choose hotter guys to stand under the Umbrellas but overall love it.
It's so hot, so sexy, and she is doing the ballerina thing that she tried in the We Ride video.
This Australian website showed a 2 minute snippet of it for 30 minutes, the site is down now.
I'm so excited i can't wait for the world premiere.
This song is so going to be HUGE now that she has an awesome video to go with it.

Oh wow I can't wait for the vid!

Ummm i just found out that Rihanna will be releasing another single on June 5th called, "Shut up and Drive."
I don't understand the reasoning behind that because UMBRELLA hasn't even started yet, it's going to be HUGE after downloads are released.
And the video just came out last week.
So why would Def Jam release another single. By June 5th Umbrella will probably be number 1.
I really like "Shut UP and Drive" its a hot song but it just seems way too soon.
Umbrella is wow and needs to run its course.
Radio stations are still playing Break It Off lol.

You know i checked billboard today and i was surprized to see that, "Never Again" is the number 8 song in the country. Surprized because it was released after UMBRELLA and the latter song is not even top 20. I found that very concerning because UMBRELLA should be HUGE.
So i had to find out whats really going on. UMBRELLA fans not to worry. Apparently, soon after "Never Again" was released it was made available for digital downloads hence its rise up the charts. For some reason Def Jam won't release UMBRELLA for digital downloads until May 15th 2007. So that explains it. So UMBRELLA should be #1 soon there after.
And then she will release "Shut Up & Drive" on June 5th, the same day her album comes out
Rihanna rocks

she keeps coming with the hot singles i'm looking forward to her new album next month as well.

I really should give this its own thread but i said i wouldn't start a new Rihanna thread until the album comes out so i wont.
But anyways, "Shut up & Drive" leaked today and i hope i didn't overhype it for you guys but i still maintain its awesome. Its very techno poppy, a little Ray Of Lightish.
I can't get enough of it. Its my new ringtone. This song rules. I mean i like UMBRELLA a littlle more but Shut Up & Drive is gonna be HUGE.
Rihanna has really gone bad though
This song is ALL about sex and i am not sure if i'm cool with Rihanna singing it at 19. I kind of feel dirty after listening to it.
"Is it ready to explode?"
"we can go all night"
"you look like you can handle whats under my hood"
But then again she got naked for UMBRELLA so i should expected an all grown up Rihanna.
Gay clubs are going to have a field day with the remix to this song.
Its a really fun song and i can see them doing lots with the video for it.
It will also be used in car commercials.
Anyways I will always love Ri Ri no matter what.
Rock on Rihanna
In other news Rihanna hosted TRL again today, looking lovely and the fans voted UMBRELLA the #1 song in the country. Rihanna was so happy, you should have seen her light up when it was revealed.

.....this is shaping up to be a great album to listen to this summer I really can't wait now!

^ Be sure to come back and tell us what you think of the song.
Seems like Kelly Clarkson has a girl crush on Rihanna lol, she couldn't stop complimenting how beautiful Rihanna was in person when they met up at TRL today. She seems to like the UMBRELLA video and the body paint. There was a little tension, not sure of they really like each other lol but its all good.
With str8 men, all you need is time.
^^^^I really like it! Seriously, I love great music in the summer and Umbrella & Shut Up...sound like really great songs to have fun to this summer.
P.S. Why do Kelly & she have tension?? I heard Rihanna say on TRL that it was hard getting Umbrella to her because so many people were trying to get it for themselves......was Kelly one of them??? I wonder who else was vying for Umbrella??
***missin' my jub*** xoxo
Well Rihanna was getting touchy feely with Damien and then Kelly said, "you two should get a room."
Then later after Rihanna said Kelly's video was "hot" Kelly gave her a look.
Maybe i am reading into nothing.
^ Tells who passed but i couldn't find who else wanted it. I did hear her say that she had to fight to get it though and she even prayed on it.According to Terius Nash, the song was shopped around to many labels before it reached Rihanna. Mary J. Blige and Akon both passed on the song, but once it got to Karen Kwak at Universal, she sent it to Antonio "L.A" Reid. Thus, Rihanna's version of Umbrella was born.
The TV version of the video is different from the online one.
She will be performing it at the MTV movie awards and she might sing Shut Up & Drive since it will be released to radio June 5th along with the album.

And the song's good, really good.
P.D.: i prefer her hair Brown....!

I am a fan of this song, and that video was awesome. She is a distinctly beautiful woman, and that is one of the most sexually charged things I have ever seen.
i hated it so much the first time i heard it but absolutely love it now.
I love it, I hated her song "Unfaithful", it drove me berserk, but this and S.O.S. never disappoint... I like her a lot, and it's not very often these days a Pop artist fancies my interest.
I guess I am just werid. I LOVE the song. But I cant stand to watch the video. It just really bores me alot. So much more could have been done. I like when a video follows a story line or something to that effect. She does look extremely hot in the video though hehe.
She said that rather than tell a story she wanted the video to be performance based.
It really could have been so much more, but, yes, she is hot in it.
I just wanted some more with the Umbrellas. Get literal. Have hot guys or one main guy under it with rain coming down and more.
I do like the choreography after the bridge though. I had to learn it for my reenactment of the video with i may put on youtube
With str8 men, all you need is time.
I can't stop listening to this song. It's hooked me like no other song since SOS.

I know the 49ers have a LOT of strong points, but what would you say their weak spot is?
|Sponsored Links
As of right now I would say our pass rush has been, but I think we're playing a more balanced defense and our pass coverage has been pretty good so hard to tell.
Kick coverage in a landslide. They've given up several big returns (kick and punt) including 2 TDs and just as a general rule, they're not getting down there as quickly as they did last year. Granted both "should" have been called back for penalties but in at least the GB game, I don't think the guy blocked in the back would have made the play anyway.

off topic:
we are well rounded so the only team that scares me is another well rounded team...........someone with enough defense to slow us down and enough offense to score regardless....obviously the Texans fit the bill,, maybe the Steelers but not really

Woman charged with felony hit and run
A Catawba woman is charged with felony hit and run following a collision that injured a 4-year-old boy.
Newton Police charged Paula Schronce Finney, 40, on Friday after she allegedly rear-ended a vehicle on Northwest Boulevard and left the scene before police arrived.
Kelvin Stacy Perkins, 39, of Conover, told police he was stopped at a red light near the intersection of Northwest Boulevard and West 15th Street when a vehicle struck him from behind, said Newton Police Chief Don Brown.
Four-year-old Cameron Joseph Perkins was a passenger in Perkins' 2000 Mercedes Benz. Brown said he thinks Cameron is Perkins' son.
Cameron was transported to Catawba Valley Medical Center with complaints of neck pain.
According to the police report, an anonymous witness saw Finney hit Perkins' vehicle and leave the scene. The witness provided a description of Finney to police officers, and Finney was later located at Charlie's Café in Conover.
Finney told police she asked Perkins not to call the police after seeing her vehicle had no damage from the collision because her license was expired.
According to the police report, Finney's vehicle sustained no damage in the crash and Perkins' vehicle sustained $2,000 in damage.
Perkins allegedly insisted on calling the police, and Finney said she fled the scene because she was scared, Brown said.
Finney was cited for no operator's license and a pending hit-and-run charge.
The investigating officer contacted the CVMC emergency room and was notified that Cameron suffered a cervical strain from the crash.
Because the child suffered injuries in the crash, Finney was charged with felony hit and run.
Brown said neither alcohol nor drugs appear to be a factor in the crash.
