For market players, the annual cliffhangers of the UNFCCC process are taking their toll through continued price and policy uncertainty.
"Doha was challenging. Because of the way countries are feeling about the global economy, they weren't really prepared to take bold steps," said Dirk Forrister, CEO of IETA, on a post-Doha follow-up call. "The die was cast on that in Durban when they set up a negotiating plan to get the real answers in 2015, the big decision year."
Leading up to 2015, Forrister noted 2014 as "the next big crescendo in climate negotiations." UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon alluded to plans to convene a meeting of leaders in 2014 to elevate the climate agenda, and there was a reference in the final conference text whereby countries can improve their level of ambition in the Kyoto context by amending their commitments by April 2014.
Outside the UNFCCC process, nationally run or bilateral offset programmes are pushing onward while other market players consolidate, doing what they can to scale up mitigation efforts absent an international framework.

text: After leading Newport Central Catholic to two state titles in three seasons as the team's head coach, Eddie Eviston will be leaving his alma mater to coach at another. Mutltiple sources tell TSF that the 32-year old Eviston has accepted a position to serve as the offensive coordinator at Georgetown College, where he starred as a college quarterback. He was named the NAIA National Player of the Year three straight times while leading the Tigers to two national titles from 1999 through 2001. Now Eviston will take over the team's offense. Eviston posted a 35-8 record atop the 'Breds program and developed a great reputation as offensive play caller during that time. NewCath will now begin just their second coaching search in 47 years, but will not likely dig in until after the holiday break when school resumes on January 7. After starting the season at 2-4, NewCath finished out the year with nine straight wins on their way to being crowned as Kentucky's Class 2A state champs.

Video:Container Gardening: Vineswith Elaine Weslowski
Vines are great plants that can really make a garden come to life, especially if they grow through a trellis. Watch this About.com video to learn more about gardening vines.See Transcript
Transcript:Container Gardening: Vines
Hi, I'm Elaine Weslowski here at Michaels Nursery in Boynton Beach, FL, for About.com and we're going to talk about how to create a container garden for vines.
Trellises for Vine Plants
There's a wide variety of vining plants that you can use for your container gardens. It's a great idea to use a trellis to support the vine in your container garden. There are so many kinds of trellises. There's wooden trellis ladders, there's wooden trellis fan-shapes, and my favorite happens to be the tower trellis which is made of metal.
What a trellis actually is, is something that is going to hold the vine in place and have it grow upwards. When you choose a plant for your trellis, make sure that they have a nice, hardy stock, and that they have already started to vine. When you put the plant in the pot, add your trellis immediately and start those vines going up the trellis right away. Place the vine or wrap the vine around the trellis and then it will automatically take off by itself.
Vine Plant Varieties
Always make sure that the container has good drainage. There is a wide variety of vining plants that you can use for your container gardens, for example:
- Mandevilla
- Passion Vine
- Bougainvillea
- Morning Glory
- Sweet Pea
When the plant exceeds the trellis, just give it a little haircut so you don't find it climbing all over the roof of your house. Always make sure that you do use a very good fertilizer. Always place your planted container in an area with proper lighting.
Thanks so very much for watching. For more information, go to: homegarden.about.com.

We always thought that our personal plans could wait until the little ones were older, but how silly is that, really? We get one life, we need to live it.
With that in mind I have ordered lots of books for research, to finally write that book I've been wanting to write for years. Not a craft book, not a book for little ones, but just a plain old book for grown-ups.
Because of all the reading, these days our home has been full of talk about history and ancient civilisations, specifically the Aztecs.
Memi is very excited to learn more, so we have thought of some exciting craft ideas to do together. Supplies have been bought, plans have been made, and I can't wait to get started.
This will be fun.

Water shortages may become a problem of the past.
A collaborative 10-year study by energy services firm KEMA, the European Membrane Institute at the University of Twente and several Dutch companies revealed that so much high-grade water can be recovered from flue gases of factory chimneys, as a result of a strongly improved membrane technology, that industrial plants in arid areas can make a valuable contribution to the world's water shortage.
Tests in industrial plants in the Netherlands and Germany have demonstrated that at least 40% of the water in the flue gases can be recovered with the new membrane technology. With this recovery rate, an average power plant can supply twice as much water as it uses.
The amount of water saved from a 400 megawatt power plant, is equivalent to the water usage of 3,500 Western households. The study also found the water produced was safe for both industrial use and consumption. In addition, energy can be saved in this industrial process reducing costs as well as CO2-emissions.
14 partners from Europe, the Middle East and Africa are currently working together on follow-up research.

Short-Circuited by the Electronic Age
Mosaic artist Sybil Sage on the frustrations of modern technology
There's a conspiracy designed to make me feel inept. For years I drifted along with complete assurance that I could master those few new things that presented themselves — whether it was adjusting the speed control on the car or packing purchases into boxes with no sides at CostCo. Buoyed by this success, I had the confidence to register with Auction Sniper to win auctions on eBay. This spiked the amount of calls I get from friends begging to be mentored when they've found a slightly used wok they simply must have.
It's upsetting, therefore, to find that I am not keeping up as successfully with changes that are supposed to add ease and comfort to our highly stressful and challenging lives. It took three tries before I spotted the tiny black button you have to push to open the rear door of a Zipcar. The manual that came with my digital camera offers helpful instructions like, "With a PictBridge printer, you can easily print pictures with DPOF." (Nothing is easy when you don't know know what a DPOF is because you skipped the preceding 145 pages of a booklet longer than Moby Dick.)
If men were once what I sought to understand, what baffles me now is my computer. In times of technical trouble, my husband and son have been serving as first responders. Then they've tired of running with the virtual defibrillator and have taken to responding to my cries by yelling back, "Just reboot." Their obvious disdain brings back memories of being single and the repeatd efforts at making it work with seriously unavailable men, causing my friends to advise, "You should move on." (Obviously, rebooting is the new moving on).
There is, happily, one aspect of the computer that defeats all three of us, leveling the playing field. Rebooting has proved to be ineffective when trying to decipher the verification code, or "captcha" — that vague and shadowy series of letters and numbers, deliberately obscured, required before you're permitted to send an email on a site.
The captcha process explains itself with, "We need to know that you're a real person." (How about asking all those unavailable guys?) It's impossible to copy the code because even with 20/20 eyesight, you can't make out if you're looking at a W, two N's, a zero or an O. The second series typically shows letters that no longer overlap, but have slashes through them. This confuses those of us "real people" who understand that something slashed out is being canceled. By now, our self-esteem is totally dependent on figuring out if we're looking at a C or a G.
My suspicion is that Captcha is a conspiracy foisted upon us by ophthalmologists.
Editor's Note: After retiring as a television comedy writer, Sybil Sage has brought her creativity to mosaic art, designing one-of-a-kind vases, picture frames, candlestick holders and planters. Her newest item is her prizewinning, custom-made cremation urns — for pets (the pet URNity) and for people (the e URNity). Visit her at sybilsage.com

Lil Scrappy Talks Proposal To Erica Dixon In Rolling Out
Most girls have probably fantasized about what their marriage proposal would be like a time or two in my lifetime, but it's hard to imagine that it would include their my soon-to-be hubby getting down on his knee and asking, 'Is you gonna marry a N-gga'?
That is exactly how rapper Lil Scrappy decided to ask his girlfriend and baby's mother Erica Dixon to marry him during the reunion show of 'Love & Hip Hop' that aired on Monday night and she happily said, 'Yes'. It seemed as though it was a long time coming as she had been there to hear him cry over his last heartbreak, been there when he had all of his teeth knocked out of his mouth and stuck it out through years of drama and pain. The epitome of thug loving…
This week, the two are covering the latest issue of Rolling Out Magazine and inside, Scrappy chats about his decision to finally marry Erica as well as being able to see a side of her love that he had never seen before filming the show. He also had a little love advice to share with the ladies:
On Why They Decided to Get Married
We just took it a step further than where it was at, but we're trying to move to the big step though, and see what that is like and not play around with it for 100 years like some folks do…I just wanted to do something real grown and big.
On How 'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta' Helped Him See How Much Erica Loves HimI was able to see her love that I had never seen … I mean, I have seen it, but I kind of messed that up so she hides it from me. So when she would go to her friends and share it, I could see it because I'm watching it.
His Advice For the Ladies
Treat a man how he should treat you. If you think that you're supposed to be treated like a queen, then you need to treat him like a king and vice versa.

Erica is absolutely gorrrrgeeeeousss… 10000000% better than Shay.. in every way shape and form… she just wanted him to MAN UP and stop acting like a baby… i blame his mother for it… Further more although it was a lil raunchy (the proposal) i still think it was kind of cute… and it was true to who he is… Loves these two and i hope they can get it together!

Can he SMILE in a picture!? Dang!
I don't think it's the IDEAL situation to be in, to have to go through so much pain and heartache just to feel like you won some type of prize (a cheating man). BUT, if she's going to stay, might as well make it official and do your best to make things work the right way going forward. So, I wish them the best!
And like Nas says:
"And all I seen was selfish cowards, under they breath.
Saying "why did Nas trust her?", but look at yourself, speak louder bruh.
You live with your babymoms and scared to make an honest woman out of her.
And make her your bride, fake b-t-h you ain't even alive.
At least I can say I tried plus enjoyed the ride."

If I were Erica, I would be very cautious. We all want to love and be loved, but don't be a fool. I believe he loves her, but unfortunately his mother and to a lesser extent his surroundings have dang near guaranteed him to be a N.A.N. But I do like that he is trying for redemption. I hope it works out. (It won't, but I hope for Erica's sake it does.)
And don't ever trust the "we're BFF's" line. 9 times out of 10, if a man and woman are BFF's, they either have already slept together, or one of the parties involved wants to but it has never gone there (yet).
S/N – Not to mention Shay was shady when she was laughing thinking Erica didn't know anything about her and it was cute. She deserved to get embarassed on TV. I could never root for a snake BIZ-NY-EE like that…

I'm confused. Erica is just happy that she "won" that battle and saved face that night, but the fact still remains is that Scrappy can not be trusted. Does she really want to marry that? And it's not fair that Shay was the fall guy when Scrappy should have been the one under fire. Stupid move, Erica.

September 5th, 2012 at 2:04 pm
I honestly believe Shay played herself..alot of women like her claim "they dont want relationships" and no titles,no ties just honest communication I'm sorry boo boo but you're selling yourself short. I don't recall Erica ever saying that to Scrappy she said you either with me or you're not! All that extra new age in between stuff allowed him to go back and forth, use up your credit and then play you on national TV! She may not have known he was lying but I would have been very cautious dealing with someone straight out of a situation like that. And clearly this should show her that she didn't know scrappy as well as she thought, and that friendship should now be terminated. Erica knew he was gonna run to some chick for a min then run right back to her, he has an MO! I don't think Shay was the fall guy but some of the things she said on the show pertaining to Erica were out of line considering she doesn't know her and shouldn't have any issues with her either.

IMO he wants a woman like his momma and that's y he and Erika are not equally yoked, she's too advanced and mature for a mommas boy like him and his momma is threatened by her so she will never 100% support their union!

I don't understand what the size of the ring has to do with anything. A huge rock doesn't mean the man loves you any more or will treat you any better in the end… It's the significance/meaning behind the ring that makes all of the difference.

Didn't you hear Shay say he had ish in her name? Didn't you hear Scrappy and Erica talking about WHY he moved in with Erica to begin with? (He had nowhere to go) Didn't you hear Scrappy trying to get out of his child support payments?Or were you not watching the show?

@circa1984 you just tryna get attention but its working! lol Every woman wants a big ring but every woman is not going to get the MAN OF HER CHOICE to get down on one knee and propose (however he says it lol) so the ring size becomes irrelevant. Plus! You can always upgrade once the money really starts pouring in. I"m not mad at Erica, she has a steady job, and a home for her daughter some of these other BMs need to take heed and stop tryna live that "good life" frontin when they have 2-3 kids at home that need to be taken care of

@ Circ1984. Everybody isn't like the majority of the world, and thinks money is the be all end all. Some people actually want love more (and with the person they want it with). She has a child with him, and has been with him through tough times, so she obviously really loves him. Also she took him in when he had nowhere to go so she knows what she is dealing with. I'm alot like Erica and I know she'd rather be with the man she truley loves than to just marry for money. She has her own anyways, and doesn't need him to take care of her and her daughter. She wants him she doesn't need him.

I think that they make a cute couple and I wish them the best.
Loves erica! The way she checked shay had me on the floor.
Erica is beautiful, really the only woman on the show that seemed to have ambitions outside of being some famous person. I really like her and am happy for the two of them.
I'd watch them if there was a spin-off show. whoot make it happen Mona!
I like Erica, she's well spoken and composed for the most part. I hope he does right for her and by her. Scrappy is a product of the Hood and his environment. He was raised by MommaDee and that proposal is probably the only way you're going to get it from him. Could it have been classier, yes, but I'm not mad at him at all for it.
I agree with what he said about treating others the way you want to be treated. Too many men and women ask their partners for way more than they're willing to give. Srappy seems like one of those guys that has all the makings to be a good man, but gets side tracked by BS. Erica is beautiful. Her and Keke Palmer could pass for sisters. IMO

I can't help it, I think Erica deserves better. But what she wants is Scrappy, so best of luck to them.
The fact that he had to choose between Erica and Buckeey made me cringe, but good for them. Erica's a good woman.
Scrappy I think seems to have a good heart but this relationship was doomed from jump two seconds before he proposed she said she don't trust him, you cant start a marriage like that. Scrappy wants to do the right thing but with that type of mother and how he was raised its going to be hard for him, they need to go see Dr.Gary too! Erica is all things great but she's immature and naive to keep going to a man who repeatedly dogs her out when she ain't showing him love. Just because you hold a nigga down doesn't mean y'all should get married or stay together or he has any obligation to do that, that was your choice to be a rider for someone who ain't a rider for you. Her mom hit it right on the head but good luck to them. They want a family unit but I'm not seeing that pure, true love but heyyy.

I don't think Erica is as stupid as everyone may think, I actually liked her on the show because she never hesitated to do what was right for her and their daughter, she still went to work and made money, got her and her child a new house and she was barely involved in any mess. IDK many babymamas who would have stayed as calm and carried themselves the way Erica has the entire season, the most I saw was her argue with Shay on the reunion and that's nothing. Just because they're engaged doesn't mean they're getting married tomorrow I do agree that Scrappy def needs to work on some things of his own but I think they'll try therapy for alittle while before just jumping the broom. We all want certain things from a mate but at the end of the day no one is perfect, they are going to make mistakes, lie, make you cry, some people cheat and still find a way to work it out etc. Michelle and Obama ain't still together just because they look good in a picture if you get what I mean
Congrats to Erica and Scrappy. I adore Erica. She is a great example for a lot of young women not just those headed into or already in the industry…but for any young woman who watched the show. Erica, consistently stood up for herself without sacrificing her integrity or her character. In the end…..she got her man…and i hope he continues to edify her and their daughter….

(pause) I think Erica is crazy gorge…her facial features….
Rolling Out should fire that stylist thou…
PS…umm not quite sure abt taken relationship advice frm LiL Scrappy thou. He should be telling men stop shhhhh on good women & don't be a momma's boy & listen to ya momma who has no man & trying to make him (the son) be the momma's man.
Mother's don't realize they ruin their sons and a man's life will never be right til he learns how to treat a woman.
Who did the write up for this post? Its clear NB does not support LAHHATL but you don't have to be sooo negative. If you're going to throw that much shade in the post just don't post about it at all. I like Erica, she seems smart sweet, and she is a hard worker. If Scrappy is who she wants then so be it, like Nas says, he's man enough to make an honest woman out of her by taking her hand in marriage. As far as the way he proposed I think coming from him (the same dude from "get on my level") I thought it was kind of cute and you could definitely see the love there.

he was good without her until she said she would'nt take him off child support, but if you notice she played the what about the child card to get him back when she found out about Shay, I didn't like her much on flavor of love but we forget she is a real person and I take no joy in her pain. Scrappy's mother hates Erica but don't forget that woman has been a hustler for years and she knows that Erica has the upper hand by being the mother of his child. It's cheaper to keep her!!!!

Erica is such a beautiful woman…. Just simply Gorgeous… Loved her hair and makeup she looked model like on the reunion. Erica is a hard working woman. She seems intelligent and very sweet. Its too bad men especially black dog nice women out. The decent black female gets put through it and all for nothing broads, skanks etc. Scrappy had more drama then Erica going on. He put that woman through so much that she had to just put up a wall just to deal with that fool. I am amazed she said I Do… Just Wow.
Yes she does deserve better.. Hopefully he does better cause she did not deserve to get treated like that on national television. That was really disrespectful all cause he wanna be a player. Some men are so LAME… I am happy he is trying to do right by her because she more than deserves it!.
They are so cuteee…. I think they should have their own show so we can see how this plays out!!! CONGRATS
I wish them luck, but personally I could never trust a man like that…too trifling
That ring though<<<<
I know it shouldnt matter but ummm….yeah
i wish them the best, and i hope they are working with their pastor and doing couples therapy while it wont solve issues…it will definitely allow both parties to see what they have to work on and what they have already complished as a unit. marriage is so serious, and i hope Erica isn't settling or going along with this just to keep her family intact. a lot of women my age (24 & up) are so ring thirsty they will sell their soul if it meant having their dream wedding or husband…go through God and he will bless your steps.
Erica is Beautiful!!! Period. She is killing bird looking Draya anyday
Hood love or not… Love is a beautiful thing!
I'm going to go against that masses and state that I feel Erica is an idiot for accepting his proposal. She made herself look like a dang fool up there grinning because Scrappy chose her over Shay and all of his other **** puppies. From what I saw on the show, Erica is a woman who deserves a good man and Scrappy is not a good man. He continually left her to pursue "better" women only to keep running back to her when things didn't work out. I don't believe for one minute that this dude is going to be true to her.
If leaving her constantly wasn't enough, she saw the same footage that we saw of him lying to Shay about their relationship. While she (Erica) was building a relationship with Scrappy, he was screwing dirtball Shay.
Be prepared for the tears and heartbreak during season 2.
*SN, Erica is so beautiful. She needs to learn her worth.

I so agree with you prettyP i mean all erica has to do is watch the show back & see for her self that Scrappy is a damn LIAR in that order,lol I felt bad for shay well a little cause she belived him i mean he was telling her no thats just my baby mama we done I love you. what the hell is she suppose to think. Just like erica she belived him to no iam not sleeping with any one blah,blah I belive scrappy is confused & i blame Mama D. On another note why do women say well we have a kid thats why iam going to stay. Ok but in my opinion If your not going to do right like coming home not leaving your women when you feel like you want to be free what is it all for.(smdh) & oh Lil Scrappy is that not the name of scoby do lil side kick,LOL i can"t

This is how you can tell Scrappy is a nasty, rat, lowlife leach. If you notice, Scrappy was trying to propose to Erica in front of Shay I guess to prove his point. That had to be hurtful. I couldn't imagine being in Shay's place. probably would've hit him.
I really do believe how a relationship begins is how it will end.

Right…If I was shay I probably would've passed out..it's hard to watch the one you love love someone else and if Scrappy considered shay a "best friend" the way he says he did, he wouldn't have proposed to erica in front of her like that.
I like Erica and I wish the best for her but if Scrappy doesn't get his act together this time she should cut him loose and move on with her life.
My sister thought Erica was the prettiest on the show. I think she is gorgeous.
Erica is my favorite because despite all the bs and games that scrappy was playing with her she didn't just stick around and wait she went about her business and did what she needed to do to continue to provide for her child because she wanted to set a good example . Despite her love for him she had to continue to do right for her child. I also respect Scrappy for finally realizing where his heart really belonged and I hope they both do well by each other. Congrats to them.
But "Is you gon marry a ni$$a?" COme on ****** lol smh
Erica is defiantly wifey material. I think that Scrappy is a Fame Whore and his first choice for Buckeey was motivated by her Favor of Love notoriety and once L&HA lunched Erica into Reality Stardom making her desirable to men across the country, he quickly returned to her graces but once that fame passes, he'll be searching for an exit again.

I agree with you 100%. His mama damaged him when it comes to women. His concept of relationships are messed up. He seem confused and lack proper guidance. However, I wish them well.
I agree, Erica can do so much better. He is a big kid and he will not change. Putting an engagement ring on your baby mama's finger as you call her is not going to make a difference. If another Diamond comes around, what will happen. What gives??? He was broken hearted over this Diamond chick. The child support situation, REALLY Erica. Open your eyes…you need a man, not an engagement ring from a boy.
NO marriage is guaranteed even in the best of circumstances. Both ppl have to really be willing to work at their marriage constantly. Scrappy really showed he does have good charactor and judgement when he proposed to Erica. From the the show she seems to be an intelligent, hard working mother with morals. She aint taking no mess from Scrappy either.. even though they have a kid together which shows strength and character. I do pray for her because having a mother n law like Momma Dee could prove to be very difficult. Good luck to the happy couple!
Getting engaged is fine but it means nothing until he actually walks you down the aisle. Hell I have been engaged for almost a year but has my fiance set a date yet? Hell no. Funny how it keeps getting pushed back more & more with excuses. I think I will give him until the end of the year & then I'm calling the entire thing off. A year is long enough to know whether or not you will really go through with it. Some of these men know a woman will just be content with having the ring & they leave it at that for as long as possible with no real intention of actually marrying you. I'm starting to see the light!

@sweetbrown give it another couple of months-up to a year and if he is not at least talking about planning a wedding LEAVE! lots of men will give you rings to pacify you and "keep" you in a comfortable place cuz you think you're about to be his wife. You're right, a year is long enough enough for an engagement I figure like if you have the nerve to get on your knee and ask me to be your wife you should have already known whether you wanted to or not, otherwise why would you?

I just found out my fiance has a profile on a dating site saying he is looking for the one. He is on there portraying himself like he is single so now I see why there was no talk of a wedding date. Women's intuition is real. Now I can take this ring to the pawn shop.

I just wish she would wax her arms. They are very hairy!
Did He really say "is you gon marry a nigga?" lmao now you know he some ghetto ass nigga smh
I wish them all the best but I hope Erica is looking at the WHOLE picture here… he runs back to her when things don't work out elsewhere. Seems to me that she is that one who will always be there and not the one he is in love with. He said over and over again "I love you, like really really love you" but at no point did he say I'm in love with you. This makes ALL the difference. I was with someone for 5 years that I loved to death but was not in love with and it left me confused, wanting more and ready to runnnnnn once I realized it. Scrappy truly needs to grow up, figure out who he is and what he wants because I really don't think he knows. Not to mention the fact that his "best friend" just shouted him and the fact that he has stuff in her name out. Ummmm is this the man you really want to marry? Child or no child it couldn't be me. I do hope he's done playing games and that she gets the man she hopes for.
s/n I was really disappointed in Erica on that reunion. The rest of these ladies don't have the worries she has. Joseline is a pimp, Rasheeda has her music career (I guess) Mimi has her business, K. Michelle is about to blow up once again. And then there's Erica, the medical assistant. Who has to go back to her regular job after being on tv acting a ratchet mess smh.
…A couple of 2 3 things
~Who starts out a marriage proposal with…if it don't work its cool?
~Erica just wants to be married…period…it didn't matter who asked as long as someone asked
~Im not understanding why Erica is sooo mad at Shay and not as equally mad at Scrappy…Just like Shay said…HE lead her on..HE lead her to believe he was single and it was all good…why not be mad at him
~And the way Scrap was breaking things off with Shay, via the reunion show lets me FUTHA Know (in my Steve Harvey voice) that he was still seeing Shay.
He's shady and Erica is dumb….I'm willing to bet there will be no wedding.

personally I liked Erica from the beginning, she was straight up about everything with Scrappy and she also pointed out to him that she won't be that crutch that he is looking for everytime something or a relationship of his goes wrong. That's why most viewers like her, she is one of the rare babymamas who although they may love their ex, see the big picture! Scrappy is just as broke and rundown as any other man out here but these babymamas are running around ready to cut another chick or play silly games over them to have a "family." anyways, I see why Erica was mad she said at the reunion after she watched one episode where Shay was laughing talking about "so she don't know about us" like tryna play her that made her dislike her. Otherwise I don't think she would have cared because Scrappy gonna do him regardless but the fact that the other chick is talkin trash without all the facts is out of line. Wish them the best! lol

She explained why she was mad at Shay and I agree… regardless of how Shay wants to portray herself as far as not knowing the two of them still had something, she definitely laughed at the thought that they were carrying on this relationship and Erica didn't know. I think she was mad about her lack of respect – woman to woman.

At first I didn't understand her anger towards Shay but if you pay attention closely to earlier episodes, Shay KNEW that Scrappy and Erica wasn't completely over! And i'm sure there is some other stuff that went on that we don't know about but I think Shay was scandalous in the way that she was trying to come off as a close friend in giving him advice on how to deal with Erica and what not , and yet she's screwing him???? I'd be mad as hell too. It's not like she was the other woman and didn't know about Erica. Yeah Scrappy was leading her on but still….she was in the wrong too
Love overcomes everything. That girl is beautiful!I only happened to tune into this show the first time because I saw her face..and I thought she was pretty.Her bone structure is what people in hollyweird pay big money to have Clearly she loves scrappy and all his antics, but love is love, they made a beautiful daughter together. Happy that scrappy finally opened his eyes, I didn't like Shay at all coming with that "best friend" card. BTW…she does look like francine. I just cant get past her mouth/face combined with her " hood chic" attitude.Maybe if she was a nicer girl it wouldn't bother me so much.
LOVE THEM….LOVE THEM…..the photos are beautiful…but please shave your arms…..I had an instant flashback of monique leggs…..ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww………..
SHAY GOT WHAT SHE DESERVES……..oh **** bucket…….A SIDELINE HO………NEVER WINS………..AND DAMN YOU BE LOOKING SOULFUL…..FIND YOU A NEW STYLIST OR STAY OUT OF THEM RAINBOW SHOPS……HOES ARE NOT WINNING ANYMORE….EXCEPT HOSALINE (joseline)…..lol
the **** spelled **** bucket…..
damn you necole bitchie….lol ( ***** S* !* U* T**** bucket )
Erica is so gorgeous, i'm happy they worked it out & got back together. Shay is a nasty ugly mess…she isn't half the woman Erica is. Seeing her face backstage when Scrappy proposed should be a cold slap in the face to all sidechicks….you never win boo boo!!
She is another one that worked hard for a ring. I couldn't sit through the cheating and disrespectful for someone just so I can hope that one day he will marry me. I just can't but hey I hope they make it to the wedding. Also I didn't like the marriage proposal but I'm not surprise.
Guilty Pleasure Confession: I would smash Scrappy, right after Nas. All ova his sexy Baaawdy, lol.
#DontJudge #YouWouldHitItTooOnTheLow
I don't dislike Shay, but I like Erica more. It's always better if you can raise your child or children in the same household, I have no doubt that Erica will be loyal and faithful to him, but I'm not so sure about Scrappy, I know your suppose to have trust in a relationship, ecspecialy when your engaged to be married but Im gone need Scrappy to get rid of Shay, that best friend s*** would not fly with me, I mean y'all mess that up by f******!! I'm a firm believer in if she's not my friend, then she ain't your either!!
Erica needs to be a model….a pretty girl!
I'm happy for them but biii.itchhhhhh that proposal was hilarious! " So Urrka, is u gon' murry a n(i)(g)(g)a?
and Urrka looked like she was bout ready to have an ****** right there on Mona couch when lil Scrappy proposed! lol
At the end of the day shay did nothing wrong his lying broke ass played her and it wasnt kul but on da flip side erica he gon cheat again married or not casue he lil boy erica not all that please believe me so n dat order drama bs into marriage lets see how far it go team shay

I maybe in the minority agree… I don't know why everyone is doggin shay out as if she was in the wrong. If Shay did in fact wait until Erica and Scrappy were supposedly broken up, then regardless of her past, she didn't deserve to be treated like that. The only one in the wrong was Scrappy. He doesn't deserve shay or erica

*but I agree
I am soooooo freakin' happy my boo Erica got her ring. I love that girl. She is a real woman! Classy, and independent!
I think is Erica is ridiculously beautiful. Like runway model pretty. Her features are so defined, she has that look that translates beautifully on pictures. But to the subject at hand, if I were her I wouldn't have accepted Scrappy's proposal. Given I don't have any children so I haven't felt that hold on tight don't let go babydaddy kinda love so I can't judge. I just feel like he is too fickle and on the drop of a hat he could leave her if he just felt the wim. The part that really turned if off for me was when he said DURING HIS PROPOSAL "If it don't work, it's cool". Thats when I wouldve had to say get up sir. If it works out for them that is wonderful too but I just wouldn't want to be in a situation where a man could run in and out of my life for so long.
Hey she knows he is a dog… if that is what she wants to be with then oh well… He humiliated her on national tv and when he proposed to her she screamed as if she had won the PowerBall … smh … Her nails look bad on the cover and her hair weave is a little obvious ..
Erica is beautiful. Like, one of those… wow, I didn't know you would be that pretty. Through out the show she was kind of the weaker cast member.. between her and Carley but I def think she should consider modeling. Something's very special about her face. Seriously….
Erica is looking a bit like Garcelle beauvais….

Way to go! Now where is Peter Schiff on this one?
Schiff's been bearish the whole time. He's always bearish. He's a broken record. And in the last six months even as gold rallied to record highs (but still 50% below the 1980 high in inflation adjusted terms), the Dow has rallied equally as much, however, if an investor reinvested dividends paid by Dow stocks, he'd be WAY ahead of gold.
Mike....can you point me to the chart or source of dividend reinvestment in the Dow out performing gold. The links below are just DOW to Gold....don't know if they include dividend reinvest.

One activity that got a sure boost from the weekend's sport was social media. To get the measure of it I got talking with Robin Carey who runs Social Media Today, meeting place of the world's social media professionals, and discussed the Super Bowl "interventions" by Oreo and Audi
We wanted to be a bit more live with this interview but our agendas clashed a bit – but hey, leave comments and ask more questions if you like.
So it was all smart stuff. But what is the context?
1. As we know some super-smart brands jumped on the power outage at this year's Super Bowl and got some good real-time engagement – it's great, it's fun but is it new?
Yes it is new, we never before had the ability to respond to advertising in real time. But it's only valuable if it's sustained … and the agency, 360i, has shown that they are nimble enough to keep this up. What is also new is that digital marketing partners and agencies will now be tied to real-time events for creating new brand opportunities. Audi also had a clever response with its offer to send LED lights for the Mercedes sign at the SuperDome.
2. Does it mean we are headed to ads as dialogue?
Yes. The brands which react the best and fastest will trump those that, for example, spent $15M on a passive, static message.
3. What do you think it means for how companies should regard their social media efforts – this was all driven by Twitter but Twitter might give you a few thousand eyeballs that are busy with other things? Isn't this a lot of effort for a little gain?
Not at all. Have you seen the buzz today about Oreos on Forbes, Business Insider, Buzz Feed, etc? Twitter drives traditional media, and has for a long time. If anything, it's a little effort for a lot of gain.
4. You talk across the country about social media, and talk with most of the best practitioners – what in your view are the big changes taking place in the business right now?
Wow, big question. Obviously, we are beyond the "what and why." Everyone is saying that buying fans and likes is a waste of time. But I'd say that one of the concerns is the degree to which they outsource social vs. working on social in-house. Companies also are beginning to understand that they need to convey something authentic (very few do this well) and that they have tremendous resources in their back yards with their own customer interactions.
5. One piece of advice for marketers tomorrow?
Plan to be spontaneous.
So, in short: ads are real-time, sustained, brought more and more in-house for authenticity, recognize that Twitter is a major distribution platform, and leverage customer interactions. That should be all part of the plan.
Follow me on Twitter@haydn1701 and ask Robin any questions here.

The smart money's concluded that Greece is leaving the euro. There's a run on the Greek banks, including by the European Central Bank. European officials openly acknowledge they are working on a contingency plan for a 'Grexit,' and Christine Lagarde says the IMF is considering it too. Tonight, she told the Guardian that Greece has run out her patience:
It sounds as if she's essentially saying to the Greeks and others in Europe, you've had a nice time and now it's payback time.
"That's right." She nods calmly. "Yeah."
And what about their children, who can't conceivably be held responsible? "Well, hey, parents are responsible, right? So parents have to pay their tax."
This should come as no surprise to readers of this blog. When I profiled Lagarde in August 2011, she pledged the IMF to a program of strict "fiscal consolidation, which I think is right."
She knows this is a tough sell. "You first have a period [after making cuts] where growth takes a hit and goes negative"—and with that come unavoidable human costs in lost jobs and social services. Political feuding over controversial cuts will only make the pain worse. How should ordinary people cope? She pauses. "It takes courage."
Anyone shocked that she's now ready to call Greece's bluff hasn't been paying attention. If, as is widely expected, a left-wing, anti-austerity government comes to power in Greece, eurozone leaders will waste no time showing them the exit.
It will be difficult. Some legal scholars even believe it's impossible, because the euro was launched without any constitutional provisions made for a country to leave it. As I wrote in November, I think rich European countries are overhyping these concerns in order to pressure Greece to comply with the austerity program. If they decide to push Greece out, they'll invent a way to do it.
Then there are the logistical concerns. How is the Greek economy to function, day to day, while it transitions to a new currency? How are Greek banks to stay capitalized as depositors flee? How can the Troika prevent the bank run from spreading across Europe, as it is already beginning to do?
These are important concerns. But it is simply naïve to assume that because it is difficult to throw Greece out of the euro, it won't happen.
And perhaps the most important reason for that is the one that, so far, most of the eurozone news coverage has avoided. Ultimately, it is Germany that would have to agree to a new deal for Greece. But Angela Merkel's government is up for reelection next year. She isn't particularly popular, but if there is one thing voters agree with her on, it's the fact that Greeks should pay for their government's financial irresponsibility. So popular is this view that even left-wing parties running against Merkel's Christian Democrats aren't advocating very hard against it.
The chances that Merkel would agree to the European supra-state, higher inflation levels and looser fiscal policy in the face of voters calling for Greece to cough up its pound of flesh are slim. Hypothetically, should Germany refuse to loosen the terms of its loans to Greece, the IMF could offer a bit of rope on its loans to Greece that would allow a left-wing Greek government to save face without upsetting the eurocart. But. as those of us who have followed her closely expected, Lagarde has unequivocally squashed that possibility in her remarks tonight.
And so it is no longer a question of if, but how, Greece will leave the euro.

I'm confused.
Why is it nVidia's fault AGPGART doesn't support nforce2? Why is it nVidia's fault ATI drivers wont run in PCI mode? Why is it nVidia's fault they don't have an AGP module that programs an ATI card? Why is it nVidia's fault ATI hasn't made an AGP module as a workaround for thier GPU's.
If somebody could clear these things up for me in the relation to how the linux kernel actually works, it would be greatly appreciated. Because all I know (which may not be much) the nVidia GPU drivers have to bypass the built in kernel support to use NVAGP at all. How can nVidia expect ATI to write drivers for NVAGP?
Maybe if you guys are really concerned about this subject in everything i've seen stated here, maybe you shouldn't be using linux. Or maybe you should spend some more time over at kernel.org bashing the developers there for the architecture of it all.
I'd just like a simple answer, yes I think the subject sucks and I'm on no sides, but from everything I know about linux, I can't find anywhere how nVidia is supposed to support ATI's GPU drivers without building thier own linux kernel for you to use. (or a patch against the kernel which would be a NIGHTMARE!) THEY CALL AGPGART ALONE!
(by the way, this is not windows, just in case you thought drivers worked like that under linux. Windows is standardized for things like this. Linux, unfortunatly is not. I bet this changes in time, but for the time being, this is how it works.)
maybe this will make it easier to understand, thier GPU drivers NVAGP supports these northbridges.
The following AGP chipsets are supported by NVIDIA's AGP; for all other
chipsets it's recommended that you use the AGPGART module.

o Intel 440BX
o Intel 440GX
o Intel 815 ("Solano")
o Intel 820 ("Camino")
