From the Publisher
"John Williams work is a pioneering contribution to explain the complex use of financial agricultural markets for participants of the physical markets. It presents the opportunities and the strategies of using derivative contracts, from basic forward contracts to structured derivatives, in a very sound manner. The implications for the efficiency of supply chains are clearly stated. A challenging work which is really a great success." – Jean E. Cordier, Professeur Agrocampus Ouest, France."Risk in the production and distribution of agricultural commodities is influenced by production uncertainty, price risk, and the institutional environment in which trading occurs. The major actor in this environment is government, which can both facilitate the management of risk management institutions such as derivatives markets and also limit their efficient operation through subsidies, production-price controls, over-regulation, etc. This book focuses on the important issues affecting markets, as well as explaining the principles and mechanics of risk management strategies." – Professor Bill Schroder, Melbourne, Australia.
"John Williams brings to us in this new book an interesting and integrated approach to the growing uncertainties existing in modern food chains. The challenge to produce food for a growing population, with income changes and urbanizing, is putting pressure on resources, increasing our exposure. It is a very important topic for discussions in the next decade, and the book helps to improve our capacity of analysis." – Professor Marcos Fava Neves, University of São Paulo, Brazil.

Colleyville Council tackles drainage utility fees
City staff presented the Colleyville Council with a proposal on Dec. 17 to amend the methodology for obtaining drainage utility fees.
The hope is to make the fees more equitable for property owners.
James Hubbard, public works management assistant presented how with today's technology, the city could adjust how it determines drainage fees depending on how much of a lot does not drain and uses the city's drainage infrastructure.
"The method is in need of an update," Hubbard said. "Based on impervious area, the biggest factor in addressing runoff."
Currently, the city charges residential lots a flat rate of $7, and non-residential lots $10.68-$24.40 an acre, depending on the type of use.
Hubbard used maps to show that similar properties are paying the same rate, while one has less impervious area than another, which means less runoff and ultimately less use of the service.
The fee helps the city maintain its drainage utilities, which includes more than 64 miles of storm sewer infrastructure, bar ditches and its creek/tributary system.
The city would use technology, like lidar, to identify the impervious surface of lots.
A preliminary study done by staff showed that fees from residential properties are "subsidizing the lesser paying non-residential properties."
Councilman Tom Hart favored the idea.
"It looks likes something where the technology is finally going to bring us where we need to be," he said.
Councilman Stan Hall shared reservations about how a change would impact residents.
"Someone is going to go down or some are going to go way up," he said. "That could create problems."
Councilman Chuck Mogged suggested a tiered approached depending on the size of the lot.
City staff will take the Council's direct and will return with the discussion at a future workshop.

Fifteen years ago Spencer Rawlings left Michigan, and a three year law practice, after discovering his father's, Judge Rawlings, involvement with a murder cover-up for a well known Detroit mob family, the VanWarner's. When he returns to Traverse City, Michigan for his father's funeral, he finds himself deep in a mystery involving his father, the VanWarner's, and a missing ten million dollars. As Spence pieces together the clues to find the money, he suddenly finds himself on trial for murder, and learning just how involved his father was with the VanWarner's. While eluding the police to find the evidence to clear his name, Spence may have found the love he has been searching for in Macy Merit; an avenger with a strong military background and desire, not only for Spence, but also to find justice.

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a medicine often used to boost the body's immune system and make it better able to fight disease. It is made from donated blood fluids.
Treatment with IVIG may improve function and lengthen the time before a relapse in people who have relapsing-remitting MS.1 It does not seem to help slow the progression of MS.2
IVIG can also lengthen the time before a second attack in people who take it after the first attack.1
But IVIG is extremely expensive, not widely available, and not considered practical for long-term treatment of MS. It sometimes may be used to treat a severe relapse if you either cannot take or do not respond to corticosteroids.
The safety of IVIG during pregnancy and breast-feeding is not known. Talk to your doctor if you are planning a pregnancy, if you are pregnant, or if you are breast-feeding.

In this interview with Terry Gross (around 5:08), those lyrics' author, Sheldon Harnick, says that he basically made up syllables that he thought would "give the effect" of "Chassidic chanting," despite not being familiar with such chanting from his own background. The first person to play Tevye, Zero Mostel, then replaced the syllables Harnick had written ...
I was a little boy at home when my father Yigal Calek ny"v composed Mareh Cohen - there's a very interesting 'composer's inspiration' story to go with it too... Anyway, so yes, pretty much "at the source" ;)
Maybe because early Jewish recordings were mostly cantorial style, and there was a serious concern that people would play recordings of Shabbos and Yom Tov liturgy on those days.
Also, perhaps it is psychologically more disturbing to think that someone will play a recording that makes your voice speak on Shabbos.
The source is Psalms 119:92 -
לוּלֵי תוֹרָתְךָ שַׁעֲשֻׁעָי אָז אָבַדְתִּי בְעָנְיִי

After a bit more searching, it looks like Yigal Calek of the London School of Jewish Song may be the original composer as late as 1971.
In the introduction to his commentary on Masekhet Avot (Shemonah Peraqim), chapter five, the Rambam says (in Shmuel ibn Tibbon's translation):

There is also this much longer video (with better audio), but the first 8:15 of this one is dubbed over with music.

Rav Hutner allowed it because he felt there is no real true simcha from taped music that will bring you to dancing and since that is the reason for the Issur he allowed it during sefira.

Two popular Chabad Chassidic niggunim were both adapted from French songs:
"Napoleon's March," taken from the marching tune used by the French army during their invasion of Russia in 1812. (R' Shneur Zalman is said to have heard the tune and said that it represents the ultimate victory of "our" - the Russian - side, as indeed occurred.)

The laws of Shabbat apply only to Jews, so someone who isn't Jewish is doing no wrong whatsoever when they watch TV on Friday night.

The Jewish laws regarding "work" on the sabbath are complex and their application, especially into areas of modern technology require much study and the help of a local well educated teacher or mentor.

Bridal shower in NYC
- 4 Comments
- Follow
Aprox 50 people, $20 pp, private room preferred. I would really appreciate any help/suggestions??
re: bbc37
italian, new american, greek... UWS, UES, Midtown east/west, union square, gramercy
re: ld83077
I like Barbounia on Park Ave. S., the food is delicious but they don't have a private room ... on the downside, I had my birthday party there and (after too many of those ouzo cocktails, which are incredibly good, btw) left my two bags of presents and wine. We didn't realize until the restaurant had closed, and left a message. They called back and were very helpful in looking for it but even asking the busboy and our waiter (we were at the communal table in the bar) that NO ONE had seen the bags. One of them was from Marc Jacobs so I guess a customer could have taken them but it seems an unlikely "disappearance."
Anyway, you did not mention French, but these places seem "bridal showery" to me: Artisanal, Les Halles, and L'Express. All in the same general area. If you are willing to venture into the E. Vil, Gnocco is excellent.
Perhaps this thread can help: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/417466
If you have specific questions, after doing some research, I'm sure you'll get answers.0

Green Bean and Farro Salad
Dressing: miso dressing + a dab of mayo + few drops of lemon juice.
Cooked green beans and farro, red onions, cherry tomatoes, red peppers, and basil.
All vegetables came from our garden except farro (emmer wheat).
I'm attempting to add some whole grains to
our salads instead of the usual leafy greens, out of all the whole
grains I tried farro is most versatile and it is my number one favorite,
I like it best in soups and salads, and I've been sneaking some farro
into our rice cooker recently, so far so good, we like the taste of
mixed rice.
3 comments:
I can honestly say I have never heard of Farro but I must say that the salad looks delicious. I really like robust chop salads like that. I like to use more vegetables in salads anyway - keeping the greens as a bed to they layer on thinly sliced carrots, thinly sliced raw beets, finely chopped onions/leeks, diced tomatoes, finely chopped red peppers, etc. etc..... !
I like chop salad as well, it's a meal in itself.
Farro is Italian for emmer wheat (an ancient variety), many trendy restaurants are serving it in salads, soups, farroto (as in risotto/pilaf), and desserts. When it is cooked al dente it's sweet, chewy, and nutty; I like it softer in soups taste like barley.

dc.description.abstract | Contemporary study of Geoffrey Chaucer's House of Fame has made numerous attempts to categorize the poem under the loosely defined modern category of "literary nominalism," drawing heavily on disputed interpretations of the fourteenth-century philosophical debates about the ontological existence of universals. The approach takes a largely postmodern view towards language, literature, and epistemology, and assumes that the poem is a precursor to the values and prejudices of the modern world instead of a challenge to them. This dissertation studies the House of Fame in light of its intellectual context and its social and literary milieu: it is a poem that draws on a rich tradition of Christian and pagan literary authorities, densely populated with mythical figures, epic heroes, biblical prophecies, and literary allusions, all co-opted into an intricate, imaginatively appealing web of figural representation. It also imbibes the apocalyptic consciousness and the philosophical flux of the fourteenth century. At the foundation of this unwieldy poem lies distinct philosophical assumptions that hearken back to orthodox, realist sources and positions, expressed most relevantly to Chaucer's interests and time period in Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy and Wyclif's defense of realism, in On Universals in particular. Standing on the firm ground of Augustinian realism, Wyclif disputes the modern logicians, who refute the existence of universals and thus chip away at the foundations of the Christian faith. In Boethius's and Wyclif's defense of universals, the themes and concerns of their work align closely with those of Chaucer, in particular in his emphasis on the connection that exists between word and deed, between language and reality. Chaucer is concerned with language and its ability to convey meaning, both as a poet and as a thinker grappling with the philosophical and intellectual currents of his day. | en |

A lot of us think about sweet potatoes — those knobby, colorful root vegetables that are NOT related in any way to regular potatoes — around Thanksgiving and the holidays. But sweet potatoes deserve better than being covered with marshmallows and served once a year. Sweet potatoes are amazingly versatile vegetables that lend themselves to both sweet and savory preparations. And they are an extremely nutrient-dense food — high in vitamins A and C, as well as in fiber — with a low glycemic index to keep you full and satisfied for hours.
What better time to try some new ways of preparing sweet potatoes than February, National Sweet Potato Month? At a time of year when much of the produce in the grocery store looks tired and sad, or has been flown in from halfway around the world, root vegetables like sweet potatoes, which are grown here in the US, are a great choice.
I got to experience just how versatile sweet potatoes can be at an all-sweet potato lunch last week at Ina's, the beloved breakfast and lunch spot in Chicago's West Loop. We had sweet potatoes puréed in soup; we had sweet potatoes roasted and served in a salad with raw kale; we had sweet potatoes stuffed into hand pies with spicy sausage; we had raw sweet potatoes shaved into a slaw over a chicken burger; we even had sweet potatoes for dessert in a crême brulée. My favorite sweet potato dish — aside from the crême brulée obviously — might have been Ina's Moroccan Sweet Potato Stew, which had chunks of sweet potatoes and other vegetables, along with some garbanzo beans for protein, in hearty stew with fragrant North African spices like cumin. Sweet potatoes are a quintessential New World food, but they worked so well with these North African and Mediterranean flavors; it was fusion cuisine at its best.
During our lunch, we were able to pepper guests from the North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission with all our burning questions like: what the heck is a yam? Apparently, in the United States, what we call yams are actually sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes come in many varieties, which are distinguished by the color of their flesh. There are orange, white and even purple varieties of sweet potatoes. All are, as I mentioned, root vegetables. True yams are grown in Africa, South America and the Caribbean and are brown, scaly and starchier than sweet potatoes. So whether it is called a yam or a sweet potato in your grocery store, it is the same thing.
I also learned that sweet potatoes are grown all over the country but half of the U.S. sweet potato crop comes from North Carolina. Sweet potatoes are harvested once a year, in the fall, but like many root vegetables, they can be kept in cold storage for months at a time. In the era before refrigeration, families would keep sweet potatoes, onions, pumpkins and other root vegetables in their root cellar after the fall harvest so that they would have nutritious foods all winter long. In those times, when white sugar was so expensive, imagine how the sweetness of the sweet potato must have been such a treat. Hence, sweet potatoes desserts like pie.
The sweet flavor profile of sweet potatoes is one of the reasons that it is such a family-friendly vegetable. A roasted sweet potato with butter and some salt, or even cinnamon if you really want to pump up the sweetness, is a terrific side dish. I also like to dice several different root vegetables — like sweet potatoes, squash, and carrots — toss them with olive oil and salt and pepper and then roast them in the oven at 400 degrees or so until caramelized for a colorful and kid-friendly side. My friend Chef Druck came up with her own version of sweet potato hand pies, which were a big hit with her kids.
For something a little more indulgent but still healthy, try this Maple Sweet Potato Purée. Maple and sweet potato are an inspired pairing and so quintessentially American. I can't resist it.
Maple Sweet Potato Purée
Serves 6 as a side dish
3 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1 TB. Olive oil
3 tsp. maple syrup
3 TB butter
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. each ground cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat oven to 400. Toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil and 1 teaspoon of the maple syrup. Line a baking sheet with foil. Spread the sweet potato in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes or until tender. Place roasted sweet potatoes in a food processor with 3 TB of butter, 2 tsp. maple syrup and the spices. Puree until smooth. Season well with salt and pepper. This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated over low heat.
Full disclosure time: I was a guest of the North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission for lunch. I also received a bag to take home consisting of food magazines and several sweet potatoes. I was not asked to write about the lunch nor have I been compensated in any way. As always, all opinions expressed herein are entirely my own.

If the saying is true that it really is lonely at the top, perhaps bad manners could be part of the reason why.
According to a new survey by Accountemps, 70 percent of employees in the survey said people become less courteous as they climb their way to the top.
The biggest breach of workplace etiquette? Using a speakerphone or talking loudly on the cell phone. Loitering and lingering around a colleague's desk ranked second at 23 percent.
Then, of course, there's the annoyance of nearby coworkers chomping on a stinky lunch. Workers mentioned this came in third at 15 percent. Next up, surrounded by colleagues with messy and cluttered workspaces came in at 14 percent.
What can we make of all this other than the annoyances seem to be spot on? To what extent does being courteous impact career advancement? Approximately 44 percent of respondents said greatly and that it can positively impact advancement; 41 percent somewhat but skills play a larger role and 14 percent mentioned there's absolutely no impact since it boils down to who and what you know.

Five Medicaid Managed Care Organizations Reduce Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care
Reducing racial and ethnic disparities in health care: A best clinical and administrative practices initiative
From 2004 to 2007, the Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) worked with groups of state Medicaid agencies and Medicaid managed care organizations to identify best practices to reduce disparities in care among racial and ethnic groups.
Key Results
Five Medicaid managed care organizations that participated in the project reported progress in reducing disparities in care. For example:
- Monroe Plan for Medical Care (New York) reported reducing neonatal intensive care unit admissions in 2005 from 11 percent to 4.9 percent among babies of African-American teen mothers.
- Molina Healthcare (Michigan) reported increasing its childhood immunization rate for African Americans from 38.3 percent in 2004 to 58.4 percent in 2006.
- Blue Cross of California reported increasing African Americans' use of its personalized education program for asthma from 0 to 15 percent in eight non-chain pharmacies.
- UPMC for You (Pennsylvania) reported a decline in low-birth weight deliveries for African-American women in Braddock County from more than 20 percent in 2004 to 0 percent in 2005, and a decline from more than 20 percent to about 8 percent among all women in the Braddock area.
- L.A. Care Health Plan (California) enhanced its delivery of pharmacy services to racial and ethnic minorities by providing language labeling in the 10 most common languages of its members to 500 pharmacies.
Two participating state Medicaid agencies implemented quality improvement goals.

Muhammadjon enjoys subjects like math, history, physics and the English language. He is one of the most successful students in college.He is single and lives with his parents; his mother sells women's clothing. He needs the money to pay for his tuition, and so is asking for a loan of US$925. He awaits your kindness.
Previous Loan Details
Muhammadjon is 18 years old. He is married and lives with his parents, who buy and sell gold products. However, their income is not enough to pay for their son's education, as Muhammadjon is a first-year student at the Tajikistan State Economic University in the tax department. He is one of th...

More information about this loan
This loan is part of IMON's education program, designed to finance school tuition for students whose families have low incomes or work in informal sectors of the economy. Funds can be used for partial or complete payment of expenses related to higher education. By supporting this loan, you're enabling access to education for students with limited options.
About IMON International
IMON International (IMON) is a micro-deposit organization in Tajikistan that provides entrepreneurs with access to high quality financial products and services, including business loans, agriculture loans, consumer loans and micro-leases. Aiming to alleviate poverty, the organization helps unbanked individuals establish businesses in different sectors, including manufacturing, agriculture and service. Kiva lenders' funds will help the organization to expand its outreach to even more entrepreneurs, farmers and traders in Tajikistan.Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Happy Birthday, Kristen Stewart! "Twilight" star turned 24 on April 9 and fans are dishing out theories on how Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart or 'Robsten' should celebrate the actress' birthday together. Are they cutting a mighty "Twilight" cake or a custom-made 'Robsten' cake? Perhaps, they plan to attend Coachella 2014 just like they attended 2013th leg of the festival. They can also fly to a secluded island and celebrate the special day. Also, they can wear fake vampire fangs and relive the "Twilight" days on Kristen's B-day.
Apart from how fans want Kristen Stewart, one of her fans donated to charity on her K-Stew's birthday.
I had a lot of fun celebrating+donating 2 charity for #KristenStewart's BD w/ fans+my TL. You guys are the best; let's do it again next yr!

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson at Coachella 2014?
According to a report on HollywoodLife.com, Kristen Stewart wants to celebrate her 24th birthday at her favourite festival in California - Coachella. Sources revealed that K-Stew wants R-Patz to join her.
For months, 'Robsten' fans are wondering if they are together or not. If the Robert and Kristen come together at Coachella 2014, it wouldn't be the first time. They were spotted partying at the festival in 2012 and 2013.
The 2014th edition of Coachella starts April 11 and sources confirmed that Kristen wants Robert desperately by her side as she plans to attend the festival.
"Kristen is planning a weekend-long birthday celebration with friends at Coachella. Ellie Goulding and Kate Nash will be performing and Kristen loves, loves loves Coachella," said a source to HollywoodLife.com.
"She wants Rob to come as well. It's going to be so awesome cause so many amazing performers are going to be there and it's something we all do together every year."
Kristen Stewart's Mommy Wishes her Happy Birthday via Instagram
Meanwhile, K-Stew's mom, Jules Mann-Stewart wished her daughter happy birthday with a sweet Instagram post.
"Looks like spring has sprung. Happy birthday my angel. Love you heaps. Xoxoxo Mom," wrote Jules Mann Stewart next to a photo for Kristen. The picture features a flower and a flamingo coming out of pot.

General Manager Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Staples in March 2015.
You'll first have to pass a phone recruiter who asks very generic questions about "Why Staples" and the fun Salary question.
Then you'll wait a week+
Then you'll phone interview with a HR, More detailed, but the same generic questions you get.
Then you'll wait a week+
Then you'll get to an interview with the District Manager.
Then it'll be rescheduled, and you'll wait a week+
Then you finally get your interview.. and between my interview and another friend's who went through the same process:
You'll either be told you can train as an Assistant Manager for 6weeks or only offered an Assistant Manager position. (At $20k+ less than GMs a year)
-- All these General Manager positions seem to be covers for getting Assistant Managers. The GMs aren't leaving, its the ASMs that are when they realize they're not going to get a GM spot.
Huge waste of time.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Staples (Indianapolis, IN).
The initial interview was initiated at the request of another Staples General Manager whom I had previously worked with at another Company. After the application was filled out there was a first phone interview with Regional HR who asked all the general questions about salary, job location, ability to transfer, why I was leaving other company, ability to work more hours for new store opening etc. and the interview was ended.Two days later I got a call from the acting DM for a second interview. This also was also a pretty basic interview about what I had done and my level of knowledge and customer service skills. As this DM was leaving for a new assignment there was yet another interview with the new DM a week later. This DM was so new to the company that the conversation focused mainly on the fact that he wanted me due to my experience and that we would have to talk and negotiate pay which we did. I did not get what I asked for but somewhere in the middle of my request.
Interview Questions
- There were no really difficult interview questions because the company I was coming from was so similar. I was coming from a competing company (Office Depot) and the store assignment was only 5 miles from my home. I also was trying to adopt a child and the benefits were SIGNIFICANTLY better at Staples. Based on the close proximity of stores the DM already knew how well my store ran. 1 Answer
The negotiation process was made easier because the Hiring DM had a previous working relationship with his Supervisor (Regional Manager) and the DM was newly hired also. So when the offer came in at the low end and I asked for more the DM had some bargaining power and spoke on my behalf.

I met one of the regional managers at a job fair who was interested in having me apply to be a General Manager of one of their locations. A few days later, I had an telephone interview with the recruiter, followed by an in-person interview with the District Manager and finally a telephone interview with the HR Director.
Interview Questions
- Absolutely no odd or unusual questions. Majority involved personal work experience and background. The only question that might have stood out dealt with my ability to multitask my team in order to provide quick and quality results for customers at peak hours. 1 Answer

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Staples (Nashua, NH) in January 2014.
When I started it was an easy job. We focused on driving incremental sales and profit. As of late it seems we are in panic mode and everything needs immediate improvement. This stressful work environment is the reason I am starting to look elsewhere. I still did enjoy working at staples but doesn't look like it has much a future

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks – interviewed at Staples (Atlanta, GA).
You will be contacted by the recruiting team for an interview, then an interview with the DM, then an interview with the RVP(she's really the only one who has any common sense) then HR will call u with an offer and truly u can negotiate about 1500 more than they offer. That's it.

It was ridiculous. I have several years GM exp. and they said the max out for LCOM is 55,000 because of the budgeted payroll. They promised a larger store and here we are 4 years later at the same store.

In 2012 Duke Tango gave me the streetball nickname "The Bandit" after the 2012 Ball Up streetball game in Los Angeles. I earned this name due to my relentless defense, and my lack of fear when guarding the best players.This motivated me to be the best streetball player to ever step on the court. My motivation turned into disappointment quick. After getting destroyed in that game I started a lackluster attempt at training for the next year. August 17, 2013 showed up fast. I realized I had lost my focus and a week before the open run I tried my best to get it all together. I got close but in the end I wasn't ready. I was exposed. I didn't even get picked for the game this year and it was my own fault. After leaving the court I thought back on the failures of 2013. I had pretty much blown every opportunity I had this year to prove myself and that caused me to end up at home with no more shots and little hope. Read the full issue here
Thanks fam. I will definitely read the streetball article.

Is Teresa Giudice Considering More Babies as Fraud Trial Approaches?
Teresa Giudice and her hubby Joe Giudice might be facing 39 counts of federal fraud and up to 50 years in jail, but lately the Real Housewives of New Jersey lovebirds have only been focusing on one thing — family. The couple has made countless trips to the beach to vacation with their four daughters and seems to truly be cherishing their time together. So has all this togetherness sparked Tre and Juicy Joe's desire to expand their Italian family? Don't count on it. When a fan asked the cookbook writer on Twitter if she was expecting any more little Giudices, she replied, "@xo_nells no babydoll done with babies.Xx." As adorable as all of Teresa's daughters are, it's probably best that she has no plans to procreate in the near future. After all, if she and Joe are sentenced, they could be separated from their kids indefinitely. Wetpaint Entertainment learned exclusively that if Tre and Joe are sent away, their daughters will be put in the care of Teresa's parents, but that doesn't mean she should be keen to add any more kids into this potentially messy mix. Do you think Teresa's smart not to try for any more babies? Tell us below!
