Straight Talk in Nairobi
By Mary Beth Sheridan
NAIROBI, Aug. 6 -- At a town hall meeting on Thursday, an interviewer remarked on the "surprisingly frank" language that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton had used in addressing Kenya's democratic failings.
Clinton acknowledged her blunt style -- and went on to display it anew.
Problems in the Democratic Republic of Congo are so acute because "much of the country is ungoverned," she said.
She noted that Nigeria imports petroleum products, even though it's the fifth largest oil producer in the world. "That's bad governance!" she exclaimed.
In Nairobi, she said, she had heard a common refrain: "If you have a problem in Kenya, why hire a lawyer if you can buy a judge?"
The crowd at the University of Nairobi laughed and applauded her comments.
For her part, Clinton said her language in Kenya was well-intentioned.
"It's tough, but it's also lovingly presented," she said.

Clinton Shows Off Her New Kenyan Hairdo
By Mary Beth Sheridan
NAIROBI -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton often injects a personal note into her speeches to create a bond with her audience -- mentioning her daughter, the artwork she's bought overseas, the people she's met in her many trips.
On Wednesday, she brought up her hair.
"I had a chance to meet two women here in Nairobi, because I had to get my hair done," she told hundreds of delegates to a U.S.-Africa trade conference.
"My hairdos are the subject of PhD theses," she said with a wry grin. "I want everyone to know I got a good one in Nairobi."
Then she got to her point: She had asked the women what it was like to live in Nairobi. "They said, it's a wonderful place, and a great place to raise children. I want to hear that everywhere, from every family, from every mother and father who can say truthfully, it's a great place to raise children."

With Clinton, Parsing Each Statement
By Glenn Kessler
PHUKET, Thailand--Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's words made the reporters traveling with her sit up in their seats, newly attentive as the chief U.S. diplomat stopped dishing about her relationship with President Obama and her failed White House run.
Suddenly, Clinton was talking about Iran's leaders, imagining how the United States and its Middle East allies might respond "once they have a nuclear weapon."
"So we will still hold the door open, but we also have made it clear that we'll take actions, as I've said time and time again, crippling actions, working to upgrade the defense of our partners in the region," Clinton said during the interview with two chatty Thai television hosts Thursday morning.
"We want Iran to calculate what I think is a fair assessment, that if the United States extends a defense umbrella over the region, if we do even more to support the military capacity of those in the Gulf, it's unlikely that Iran will be any stronger or safer, because they won't be able to intimidate and dominate, as they apparently believe they can, once they have a nuclear weapon."
The press corps wondered: What did "defense umbrella" mean? That kind of sounded like Clinton was extending the nuclear umbrella, now available to European and Arab allies, to the Middle East. And why didn't she add the standard language that a nuclear bomb was unacceptable and that Iran would never get it? That sounded like she had essentially accepted as reality that Iran would get the bomb, and now they were getting ready for Plan B.

Clinton Hailed For Just Showing Up
By Glenn Kessler
PHUKET, Thailand--In academic foreign-policy circles, there is the "realist" school and "moralist" school. Now add to that the Woody Allen school of foreign policy.
As the filmmaker and comedian once said, "80 percent of success is showing up."
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is taking that sage philosophy to heart. Judging from the local media accounts of her trip to Thailand, she is getting enormous credit within Southeast Asia for simply attending the annual regional security forum of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Many of her predecessors, including Colin L. Powell in George W. Bush's first term, also dutifully attended the meeting. But not Condoleezza Rice, Bush's second-term secretary of state.
Rice was never a fan of alphabet-soup talkfests like the ASEAN Regional Forum--which brings together the foreign ministers of more than 20 countries. She often found a reason to skip the annual two-day gathering, such as a trip to the Middle East to prod peace talks, and dispatched her deputy in her place.
(Rice was also not inclined to participate in the self-effacing song-and-dance routines that foreign ministers are expected to perform at the meeting's official dinner. But Clinton lucked out--the skits have been canceled this year.)Continue reading this post »

At State, Slow to Articulate the Message
By Glenn Kessler
BANGKOK--Diplomacy is often about the message. Six months into Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's tenure, the State Department sometimes still has trouble getting her message out.
Reporters traveling with Clinton had been led to believe that the highlight of Clinton's last day in India--Monday--would be the signing of an "end-use monitoring" agreement permitting U.S. firms to compete for $10 billion in military aircraft purchases by India.
But no U.S. official attempted to explain what that meant beforehand. In addition, up until a final news conference, there was virtually no information provided on a series of other agreements the two governments had been negotiating for the weeks leading up to Clinton's visit.
So when Clinton and her Indian counterpart signed something else--a technology joint venture to spur research--confusion ensued among reporters. Did the "end-use" deal collapse? Was Clinton playing semantic games by saying the "end-use" deal had been "finalized"? No one seemed to know for sure.Continue reading this post »

At Top Delhi Restaurant, the 'Hillary Platter'
By Glenn Kessler
NEW DELHI--The restaurant Bukhara here is widely regarded as the finest in India, if not one of the best in Asia. The atmospheric and casual spot in the ITC Maurya hotel is known for its mouth-watering kabobs, perrfectly cooked over spits in view of the patrons.
It also happens to be a Clinton hangout. After then-President Clinton ate at Bukhara in 2000, the restaurant created a special Bill Clinton "presidential" platter in honor of his visit.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is also a Bukhara fan, and she made sure to have dinner there Sunday night with seven of her staff members. The chef prepared a special selection of eight dishes, plus naan bread and a desert of kulfi, a tasty Indian ice cream.
Sure enough, the restaurant announced that the meal prepared for the Secretary would henceforth be on the menu as the "Hillary platter."
Speaking to students at Delhi University Monday, Clinton said she is such a fan of Indian food that she eats too much of it whenever she visits the subcontinent. "I have to go on a diet when I get back home," she said to laughter. "Back to carrots and celery."
Quote of the day:
"People watching a Bollywood movie in some other part of Asia think everyone in India is beautiful, and they have dramatic lives and have happy endings. And if you were to watch American TV and our movies you'd think that we don't wear clothes and we spend a lot of time fighting with each other."

Behind the Scenes With Clinton in India
By Glenn Kessler
MUMBAI, India--Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton began her three-day trip to India on Saturday with a burst of public diplomacy, but her meeting with a group of poor women left some residents here cold.
Indian newspapers described how local police gave no advance notice before barring residents of an upscale neighborhood from returning to their homes during Clinton's 90-minute visit to a shop maintained by the Self-Employed Women Association (SEWA). Traffic also was blocked at a normally busy intersection, and parked cars were towed to make room for a 20-foot-wide red carpet.
The Sunday Mumbai Mirror recounted how one man, Vishal Shah, had a bitter argument with police because he could not return home to his 6-year-old daughter, who he had left alone while he went out to do a brief errand. Shah was supposed to take his daughter to school but could not get any sympathy from the police.Continue reading this post »

Clinton Keeps Up an Active Pace Overseas
By Mary Beth Sheridan
Secretaries of state tend to be a hardy lot, with long days of negotiations, meetings and receptions.
But Secretary of State Hilary Rodham Clinton may be in a category of her own.
On her latest Middle East trip, the secretary, her staff and reporters boarded a 7:30 am plane from Kuwait to Iraq on Saturday. In a 12-hour visit, she met with US military brass, several Iraqi officials, U.N. envoys, war widows, U.S. diplomats -- and held a campaign-style town hall meeting.
Clinton arrived back in Kuwait shortly before midnight -- just in time to preside at a lavish dinner for her staff and guests, plus the rather bedraggled reporters.
No sign how she kept up the pace, although she did gulp a tiny cup of thick Arabic coffee as the evening ended, about six hours before she was due to head for her next stop, Beirut.

Clinton's 'Red Carpet Treatment' En Route to Iraq
By Mary Beth Sheridan
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton flew into Kuwait on Friday on Air Force 2, a top-of-the-line jet featuring leather seats, TV monitors and dinner served on china with silverware and cloth napkins.
For her hour-long hop to Baghdad on Saturday, however, the frills were gone.
Clinton, her State Department staff and a dozen journalists boarded an Air Force C-17 cargo jet, a hulking windowless gray workhorse, whose interior resembled a giant garage. Several rows of seats were plopped down in the middle of the cargo area.
Passengers stuffed in ear plugs because of the roar of the engines.
Once on board, staff and reporters grabbed sweaty body armor from a mound in the back of the aircraft, and practiced strapping on helmets.
It looked like the kind of wartime scenario that Clinton evoked during her campaign when she described landing amid sniper fire in Bosnia--a story she subsequently acknowledged was exaggerated.
But the Baghdad landing turned out to be quiet. Clinton got red-carpet treatment as she descended from the plane, with greetings from U.S. Ambassador Christopher Hill, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari and Adm. Mike Mullen, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And her motorcade zipped into the city on roads cleared of their normally chock-a-block traffic.

Or: How to Debug 503's, H12's, and H13's on Heroku
TLDR: I was wrong about log-runtime-entries! Turns out my unexplained dyno crashes were caused by a Gem that was misbehaving in its process forking action, which I've now fixed and submitted a pull request for.
Introduction and Apology
In my last post, I mentioned that I would keep an eye on my Heroku Rails app over the next 24 hours to see if removing log-runtime-metrics would indeed alleviate my problem with the unexplained dyno reboots that were causing 503, H12, and H13 errors.
Unfortunately, like a bad zombie movie, the problem just wouldn't die. Overnight my dynos again suffered a reboot, and I again saw the dreaded '[FATAL] Failed to create timer thread (errno: 11)' in the logs.
So, the problem appears not to be log-runtime-metrics after all. My apologies for raising the alarm too early — I should have waited the full 24 hours first.
Continuing the Search for the Real Killers
So what the heck is the actual problem? Something in the app is leaking threads, so how do I figure out where?
To verify my leaky thread hypothesis, I whipped up a short bash script which I then ran inside the (Warning: Big file) Ubuntu Lucid 64 Vagrant box where I develop my Rails app.
|while true
|# Command line inspired from http://askubuntu.com/a/88983
|ps -u vagrant -o thcount | tail -n +2 | awk '{ num_threads += $1 } END { print num_threads }'
|sleep 1
I use the app for a while, and sure enough, I see the following scroll by:
43, 43 ... 45, 45 ... 44, 44 ... 46, 46 ... 45, 45 ... 47 ...
and I watch the count slowly increase, 2 steps forward and one step back, 2 steps forward and one step back. At this rate the number of threads being used would surely bust a limit given some time. It looks like I finally found the trail of blood. Something in my app was definitely creating threads and not cleaning up after itself.
To see if I could gain further insight, I took a closer look at the process list:
|vagrant@www:~$ ps -u vagrant | grep ruby
|10260 pts/0 00:00:00 ruby
|10271 pts/0 00:00:25 ruby
|10514 pts/0 00:00:14 ruby
|10533 pts/0 00:00:13 ruby
|10541 pts/0 00:00:16 ruby
|11269 pts/0 00:00:00 ruby <defunct>
|11304 pts/0 00:00:00 ruby <defunct>
|11331 pts/0 00:00:00 ruby <defunct>
|11363 pts/0 00:00:00 ruby <defunct>
|11399 pts/0 00:00:00 ruby <defunct>
|11410 pts/0 00:00:00 ruby <defunct>
|11453 pts/0 00:00:00 ruby <defunct>
|11484 pts/0 00:00:00 ruby <defunct>
|11520 pts/0 00:00:00 ruby
ZOMG! Zombie Processes!
Wow, so this is not only a thread leak, this is a process leak! Now I know that something in the app is forking processes and then failing to wait for the child process to complete. Over time this will result in thousands of Zombie Processes, causing a Zombie Process Apocalypse to wreak havoc on your dyno. (For a great discussion of what exactly a Zombie Process is, see this blog post by the Phusion Passenger team — look for "Not all frozen processes are made equal")
I know that nothing in my Rails app is so clever as to try and fork processes (really bad idea), so the culprit has to be inside a Gem. After (a while) narrowing down some of the suspects, I finally found that the rack-streaming-proxy gem that I was using was forking processes, and indeed the parent processes were not waiting for the child processes.
I finally found the root cause of the Zombie Process Apocalypse.
Unfortunately this is a very old gem and is not maintained anymore, but I went ahead and fixed the bug, and submitted a pull request. The details of how the bug fix works is very interesting in its own right, and I may write a follow-up post about it.
But for now, in my experiments using the short bash script above, I've found that the fix works at making sure no more zombie processes are generated.
Overall this was definitely one of the hardest things I've had to debug; it's one of those problems that only shows up at scale and after running for a long period of time. But at least for now, the Zombie Process Apocalypse has been averted!

The characteristic features of umass spring concert are melodic, simple and easily falling on the ear of the perception of the melody. In the music composition, the main emphasis is on vocals and rhythm, the instrumental part is given much less attention. In fact, this music is expressed exclusively in songs, the texts of which are uncomplicated and are devoted mainly to personal experiences: love, sadness, joy.
Special attention in umass spring concert deserves a visual representation of the compositions in video clips or in concert shows. To stand out from the crowd, in umass spring concert choose to put it mildly an extravagant image (the most recent example is Lady Gaga).
Music concert has spawned such a pop star phenomenon – a person whose life attracts the attention of the press and the public out of touch with her musical activity. The popularity of a particular artist often depends not on his musical talents, but on factors such as appearance, sexual attractiveness, press coverage. To attract the attention of the public, many artists and their producers are going to provoke scandals or rumors. For this, music is often criticized and characterized not as a musical art, but as a means of stupid people.

Hi All,
This is somewhat tangential to Biblical Greek, although the grist for the mill is Biblical Greek.
I've been doing multivariate analysis of textual variation among Greek New Testament witnesses. You can see the results here:
As it says in the Note, "This is a draft in the process of composition. While the results are final, the discussion is not. "
The tetrahedral form of some of the maps based on comprehensive data from the INTF indicate to me that there were four major textual species early on. (Don't ask me to give an informed opinion of what early on means.) My guess is that the four correspond to four authority structures in the early church, what eventually became the patriarchates of Alexandria, Jerusalem, Antioch and Constantinople. (When versions are included, other clusters emerge. One is Western, including Old Latin, D, W. This cluster might be associated with the Latin-speaking church and the patriarchate of Rome. A study could be done of the Latins alone. I believe that a map composed of Latins will reflect the geographical roots of the witnesses.)
There is no reason why the same modes of analysis could not be applied to (Greek and other) witnesses of the Hebrew Bible, although there are far fewer than for the New Testament.

Honda Reveals First Details of New Civic Type R – Sep 10, 2013– Frankfurt, Germany (Techreleased) – At today's Frankfurt Motor Show Press Conference, Manabu Nishimae, President, Honda Motor Europe revealed the first details of the hotly anticipated new Civic Type R. Powered by a direct injection turbocharged 2- liter engine, the new Civic Type R will deliver at least 280 PS.
Honda has confirmed ambitions of the Civic Type R becoming the fastest front wheel drive car around the infamous Nurburgring circuit in Germany. Although the car will still be put through another 2 years of development before going on sale in 2015, Honda has already began testing at the track. "We have recently spent a week at the Nurburgring, carrying out extensive testing and we are on target, and have already set a time approaching the lap record," says Manabu Nishimae.
A film demonstrating the impressive power and handling of Civic Type R development car on the Nurburgring with Gabriele Tarquini, Honda's WTCC driver behind the wheel was premiered during the Honda Press Conference.
The Civic Tourer made its public debut at the show and during Honda's press conference it was confirmed that it would achieve impressively low CO2 emissions from only 99g/km* (3,8 liters l/100km) when partnered with Honda's 1.6 i-DTEC engine. The Civic Tourer builds on the strength of the Civic 5-Door, offering class leading boot space and practicality.
"For me, the strength of the car is the synergy of functionality, versatility, and dynamic design. As a European development team, we're passionate and proud of what we've achieved," Adrian Killham, Large Project Leader for Civic Tourer commented.

I have watched this video multiple times, and I still don't know how the hell Hamilton ended up with his shorts around his ankles.
Honestly, how did that happen? Hamilton goes right, stumbles, falls to the floor without really being touched by the nearby defender, and then his shorts—which must be imbued with supernatural properties—just completely defy the laws of physics. Or maybe there is a mischievous ghost in the arena? I am so confused.

Shelly Anteby effortlessly breezes through each day in her classic style and always makes sure to pull off a unique and daring table setting weekly.
"I start pulling out my Shabbat table setting from Wednesday. I pull out and see what works. Its not planned. By Thursday my table is set. This week I planned a turquoise theme. You could call it Indian or Moroccan inspired, because of the turquoise color and the stones. I started with the turquoise Kim Seybert runner and then offset it with seafoam green mother of pearl chargers as a base for each plate. I topped the chargers with clear turquoise oversized dishes that I found in IKEA.
My turquoise Limoges salad plates helped accent the jeweled napkin rings.I love to find table accents in Home Goods or Target.
In the center of the table I usually raise my salads and appetizers in little bowls on top of a simple glass tray. That becomes my centerpiece.
The point is to have fun with your Shabbat table setting and just be spontaneous."

As the Space Shuttle Endeavor waits on the launch pad for optimal weather conditions, the Elon Musk-founded SpaceX launched its second successful rocket into orbit late Monday night carrying a Malaysian satellite into orbit.
The first successful launch came last September after a very public and very embarrassing failed launch while attempting to carry another Malaysian satellite, a small NASA satellite and the ashes of James Doohan, the actor who played Scotty on the original Star Trek TV series.
Launched from the Kwajelein Atoll in the South Pacific, the SpaceX Falcon 1 rocket was charged with delivering the lightweight Malaysian satellite, RazakSAT into orbit and did so successfully nearly ten minutes into the trouble free flight.
With the end of NASA's space shuttle program approaching ever so quickly, privately funded companies like SpaceX are beginning to look like the future of space flight, that is, until Congress approves heavy funding for the next NASA space delivery system. [Wired]

The Mutters complained their neighbour's children were too noisy while playing. They complained their neighbour purposely aimed sprinklers to shoot water onto their lawn. They complained their neighbours stared at them, and parked centimetres too close to their driveway. They complained dog poop was being tossed into a portion of their shared backyard.
The Mutters complained about their next-door neighbours in Fort McMurray so many times, that the RCMP decided to file charges.
Against them, for complaining about their neighbours.
"It was like a horror movie," Angela Smith said. "They made our lives a living hell."
A judge agreed, and found recently in favour of Smith and her spouse, Josh Welsh, bringing an end, at least temporarily, to a dispute that has been winding its way through court for nearly two years.
In a remarkably one-sided ruling, Justice W.P. Sullivan demanded Glenn and Deanna Mutter, complainants in a civil case before the Court of Queen's Bench, stop tormenting their neighbours.
"In fact, I find that Mr. & Mrs. Mutter are both bullies, that will go to whatever lengths to bully their neighbours," the judge wrote in his decision. "They will use all the authorities that are available to them by law ... to pursue an unceasing campaign of harassment against their neighbours."
In his ruling, the judge called the Mutters "self-righteous", "entitled," "passive aggressive," "aggressive," "disingenuous" and "prone to exaggeration."
He ordered the couple to take down video cameras they had been using to spy on their neighbours, prohibited the Mutters from parking along the street in front of their house for two years, and ordered them to pay the defendants' court costs, currently $35,000 and mounting.
"It has been a nightmare," Smith said. "We haven't been able to do anything like a normal family. They videotaped our little girl jumping on a trampoline.
"They didn't leave us alone from the time we woke up in the morning to the time we went to bed."
The Mutters did not return several phone messages seeking comment.
In a squabble that dates back nearly three years, the Mutters called everyone from bylaw officers and the SPCA to the Mounties to complain about their abutting neighbours on Fireweed Crescent, where Smith and Welsh reside with their five children.
The complaints against them became so relentless that at one point the RCMP charged the Mutters with interfering with the lawful use and enjoyment of property, and a constable provided evidence in the civil case on their neighbours' behalf. So did SPCA officers — as well as the house's previous owner, and a tenant who also once lived beside the Mutters.
"For years, the Mutters have complained to officials from enforcement and bylaw, the Fort McMurray SPCA, and the RCMP," the justice wrote. "They complained about their neighbours, they complained about their neighbours past and present. It is incessant. They complain about everything they can think about to complain about."
The judge lashed out at the Mutters for using video cameras to spy on their neighbours, and for taking pictures of them and their children. He found they intentionally made noise to disturb them, and dismissed the Mutters' complaints about noise from their next-door-neighbour's property as the sounds of "happy, joyful children."
He likewise rejected a claim that the Mutters were verbally taunted, threatened and sworn at, saying that their neighbours' were merely responding in kind.
"I'd also like to order them to go for counselling, but I don't think I have the jurisdiction to order Mr. & Mrs. Mutter to go for psychological counselling," the judge wrote in his ruling. "But I recommend it to them."
The Mutters, meanwhile, have filed notice to appeal.
"My clients' perspective is that the judge's decision is not representative of what occurred," Amanda Hart-Dowhan, the Edmonton lawyer who represents them, said.
Smith said she is relieved that the case is over — for now.
"We're not home much in the summer," she said. "We have been spending as much time at the lake as we can."

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
With Friday representing the conclusion of what has been an extraordinary opening week in the George Zimmerman trial, this evening at 9 Piers Morgan welcomes Deborah Fakanlu to offer her personal insight on the woman who unwillingly took over the national spotlight over the course of two days of testimony.
A friend of the late Trayvon Martin, Rachel Jeantel spent much of Wednesday and Thursday on the stand, serving as the prosecution's supposed star witness. However, her demeanor and attitude often yielded more questions than answers, leaving many to wonder if she hadn't actually helped the defense more than the state.
Joining "Piers Morgan Live" for an exclusive interview, Deborah Fakanlu – a former classmate of Jeantel – shares her reaction to the criticism being aimed at the 19-year-old:
"I was shocked. They was saying that she was rude, that she was disrespectful, and I didn't feel like she was disrespectful," says the woman who often received Facebook messages from Jeantel. "I just felt like they were asking her a lot of questions and she didn't know how to react to all of them."
As Jeantel's specific style of speaking, including slang terminology and questionable colloquialisms, has been called into question, the host asked his guest for her perspective.
Fakanlu said simply, "that's how we talk."
Watch the clip for more of Morgan's interview with Deborah Fakanlu, the classmate of Rachel Jeantel, then tune in at 9 for a program dedicated exclusively to the latest developments in one of the most polarizing court cases in recent memory.

Dear Mr. Morgan,
To me it is simple. Everyone wants to forget the facts. George Zimmerman was the aggresser and he used superior force. Yes, he followed Trayvon Martin, initiated the comflick, was getting his behind kicked by a young fit teenager, and used superior force instead of taking his behind wipping. A gun as opposed to Trayvon;s fist. When is that fair, not even in self defense.
To me it is simple too! There would be no trial if trayvon was not black! 2nd. Pierce Morgan STOP trying to make this case about race! In your show you keep saying its a white jury, it's a all white jury! Pierce its ALLways about race, but don't play the race card. The witness was terrible yesterday that's why she wasn't taken seriously not because of her color of skin. Here are the facts the Zimmerman did not mean to kill trayvon, he will be found not guilty mark my words!
I don't think "he didn't mean to kill someone kid" is acceptable. A accident or misjudgment is one thing if it was admitted but to make this kids parent defend there sons death or have him treated like he had done something wrong when he didn't For that he deserves jail.
"According to a records search on George, he was previously arrested for domestic violence, resisting an officer without violence and most shockingly, resisting an officer with violence — a felony charge that surely could have landed him in prison.
A physician assistant who treated George Zimmerman's injuries the day after he said he shot and killed Trayvon Martin in self-defense testified Friday that she had treated Zimmerman before, and that he told her he'd had been involved with mixed martial arts several times a week.
Lindzee Folgate said she previously treated Zimmerman in August and September 2011.
He went looking for trouble. He wanted to play Charles Bronson, and somebody died because of it. Even if Trayvon was just walking home, and then some wannabe vigilante starts following him. This whole situation wouldn't have gone down if Zimmerman had kept his as in his truck and let the police handle the problem
George Zimmerman' 50lb+ advantage on an unarmed 17yr old and still got beat the funk up to the point he had to pull out his gun because he was out playing cowboy that night and HAD to get in the kid's business for the crime of not looking like he belonged there.
So according to you, Zimmerman should have taken his "behind wipping" even though for all Zimmerman knew, Martin was killing him. Is that what you would have done?
Really,,,cause i believe that force is used on you you must respond with greater force...I would have shot him too,,,,but I probably would have not measured myself like Zimmernan. Trayvon was a thug, if Zimmerman hadn't killed him somebody was going to – and that is direct from Pastor Manning in Harlem
FYI.....Schools don't teach cursive writing anymore. I'm a college instructor and many of my students do not know cursive. It's sad and I don't agree with it but it's not Rachel's fault and it doesn't reflect her intelligence.
In addition,
People seem to brush aside that she is of Hatian desent and English is not her native language. French and Creole are different.
I was under impression, that she was born and raised in Miami.
Are you kidding? So all these "students" can't read cursive and it's widely known? Where are we?I can't believe what I am reading. Shame!!!
Im in NJ and that is correct. When I write on the board, students have complained that they cannot read cursive.
I am a high school teacher too and when I write in cursive, the kids can't read it! Penmanship is no longer taught in schools, and hasn't been for a long time! There' s simply no money for that in the budget! As a matter of fact and more importantly, many kids struggle with writing legibly, never mind cursive, and spelling simple words correctly.
BTW, all these complaints about English not being her first language, and how the jurors could not understand a word she said, which tainted her credibility? NOTE: Most inner city kids speak like Rachel Jeantel. Her manner of speaking has nothing to do with her Haitian Creole or French background. And that's why she kept telling the prosecutor that she understood and spoke English well. This is simply how many of our children speak in urban America! Rachel's problem is compounded by her speech impediment, but it's not so bad that she cannot be understood if one is paying attention.
Many upper class, suburban, privileged white people may not understand Rachel, but the reason is not because English is her third language. It's because in the course of their daily lives, they never interact with kids like Rachel, their paths just simply never cross. It just goes to show again, the class and structural differences in this country. It is this structural disconnect that made the jury switch off when Rachel was speaking. And just with a cursory scan, they judged her based on her color, size, ideas of beauty, diction and English language fluency, and immediately decided that she fell short and could therefore not be a credible witness. She did not fit the "image" of someone who could be "relatable".
If Rachel Jeantel was not relatable, Travon Martin was not relatable. "These people" were not valuable as humans because they didn't "fit" the picture. The young man, "a thug" raised in a violent culture, must have been the aggressor.
Of course it reflects her intelligence, but not nearly to the degree that everything else about her does. I'd gladly give very lucrative odds on an over/under bet on her IQ...I'll put the score, very generously, at 80.
Mr Morgan,
Can you please tell me what the point of interviewing that classmate of Rachel Jeantel was? I really wish you wouldn't waste our time on interviewing people who have nothing to say or contribute to a discussion, be a little more discreet in whom you get on the show.
Thank you
What a waste of time, I really use to like your show. She didnt even know Rachel ??. Come on why was she on your show?
What an interview. This girl doesn't even know the witness and embarrassed herself and your show...waste of the viewer's time. She just wanted to be on TV and talk about her baby.
Why is CNN so obsessed with this case? Full coverage now?
I'm really wondering why this clip cuts out large parts of the interview where she just embarrasses herself. "I'm from England so I'm not racist"...Really? I spit my coffee across the room in a fit of laughter. If you want to really head off comments that your coverage is being biased (which I tend to consider baseless) you would do well to not cut things like this off, and putting up an interview where someone seems relatively composed compared to what was evident on the actual program.
Also her dropping the N-bomb was pretty hilarious.
You say facts then rattle off a line of baloney nobody outside of the haters blogs believes and that is based on NOTHING.
No evidence supports following in the sense of attempting to get close to Trayvon. Zimmerman ran to the T where its possible to see if someone runs out the rear entrance. This is where the dispatch says we don't need you to do that (follow) and Zimmerman says OK. Trayvon leaves this area, then some time after Zimmerman ends the call to police Trayvon returns, which we know as this is the crime scene.
How is it Zimmerman does all this pursuing when it is Trayvon that comes back to the T?
What is the motive for Zimmerman to initiate conflict with his nose?
Using a gun is fair when the person sitting on you and beating you while you scream for a minute for help doesn't stop beating you, and notices you have a gun.
I am absolutely appalled that this case is such a race case. Its not whether he is black/white, it is that the prosecution needs to prove if it was or was not self defense.... That interview was just shown with Rachels classmate was disgusting! I am from Florida, I am a white woman that lives in a black white area, and for her to say that everyone white person here call blacks the "n" word, absolutely disgust me! I do not allow that word in my home nor do I allow any other type of racist words in my house and for her to say everyone in Florida talks this way is WRONG!!!! Maybe in her part of the world people do,but people I associate with do not. You as the media should not allow this type of interview to be shown, you are just feeding fuel to the fire, and it scares me to think what will happen if he does not get convicted, remember Rodney King? It is sad what this is coming to......
Well T, Smith I don't know what part of the world you are living in but it is a true fact. You may not allow that type of language in your household but it takes place in the black culture households everyday. It's all on the radio in the music our children listens to. So for you to be that blind what planet are you living on. No one in this country should be surprise. And for all these talk show hosts to get on TV and act as if they are surprise by this behaivor is just a lie. This girl is from Miami and they went to a almost all black high school Noland High where crime is high in all those low poor area's in Miami trust me I no the areas very well I'm in Broward County next door to Dade County so I no the not so good schools in Miami and the area's that they are in I would not even be caught in those area's because they are not safe to even walk in during the day. So for anybody to talk down about Rachel it's wrong and for as her statement she only told the truth about what her and Trayvon was talking about minutes before his life was taken by this phsyco derange animal who stock this child chase him and jump him and killed him. Yes we no this because his 911 tape he saids he is following him and they told him to stop but now we no he continue to follow him. So before you make a statement no the facts first okay.
And before you type, please spell check because the word "no" is used improper. "No" is an adverb, which describes a negative used to express denial or dissent!! What you want to use is the word "Know", which is a verb. "Know" a verb that describes to understand as fact or truth"!! So please, I hope that you actually are using these words properly in life or as you would call the "skreets" – an urban way of saying "streets"
Just listened to your guest's defense of Rachel Jeantel and her behavior on the stand.
Reverse discrimination is as offensive !
If that had been a white man of 19, he would be considered an adult at that age – not a child as she was portrayed. And his behavior would have been excoriated.
It seems that giving Rachel a pass because she is black is beneath you.
I missed the show but have to ask... Did Morgan ask her if it is common for them to display racism against white people??
Its funny how the only PROVEN act of racism was by Trayvon but the media brushes it under the rug.
Racism A. Heisen, is the systematic advantage and privilege that one race gets over others. Traynon Martin had no systematic advantage in this case, he is dead admittedly by the hands of Zimmerman. Prejudice, is another matter in that all ethnicities have them. But therein, lies the difference between what is racism and prejudice.
That's...NOT the definition of racism. It doesn't matter how many times you "progressives" repeat, it simply isn't. Have you ever heard of a dictionary? I highly recommend them. Reading is fundamental.
Dear Mr. Morgan,
I've been paying attention to your show since it filled Larry King's old time slot. I was wondering if you could do me a favor... It would take only a moment, and cost nothing. Could you ban me from your show, please? It would mean SO much to me. Thank you for your kind consideration, and be well.
The prosecution has no case. This is a show trial put on display to appease a restless black populace. Charging Mr. Zimmerman is the biggest display of racism I have ever witnessed.
Who calls the police just prior to comitting 2nd degree murder?
Someone who is known by the police and whose father is a retired judge would be confident that there would no consequence. And if it wasn't for the outrage by the public, he wouldn't have been arrested.
A lot of guys just want to appear to be cops. Gun, badge, pretend they're on TV that george zimmerman
George Zimmerman D's in Introduction to Criminal Justice and Juvenile Delinquency, and a C in a course called Evil Minds -Violent Predators. He failed algebra and astronomy and had been placed on academic probation in 2011.To the extent that he had some knowledge of self defense, he would have been able to put together a story that made some sense,"
The friend revealed that they are special education students. Instead of having attorneys andjury observers comment on the witness ' behavior in court you should have wisely interviewed high school special education instructors who could have explained her behavior as a defense mechanism toward the defense attorney who she had previously encountered in the preinterviews before the trial started. I believe her antagonism toward the defense attorney was demonstrated because she knew that he was going to attempt to humiliate her publicly by demonstrating to all and sundry her learning disability which special education students go to extreme lengths to hide from friends and family let alone millions of strangers. It was like watching a deliberately cruel and sadistic
person hand silverware to a double upper extremity amputee without prosthetics arms and tell them to feed themselves when he asked her to read the letter. Also because of not being able to read well or at all the special education students memory is usually superior to that of a regular student because they rely on memory to get by in life.
This testimony of Jeantel & her roomates' commentary provide a glimpse of what American black culture really is...sad.
You need to do more reading and research on the black culture, why it is this way in certain communities, the economic and sociological factors that make it the way it is, what black kids are dealing with, etc. Maybe you would not be so judgemental if you knew more. I wonder, too, what can be done to raise education expectations from more of the families and increase the desire to excel in the way some other cultures do (e.g. Chinese families) but it is a long arduous process.
Reaction to Rachel Jeantel on the stand has been in terms of aesthetics, of disregarding a witness on the basis of how she talks, how good she is in supporting Trayvon. These are subtle things that may be of interest to the media. But the cardinal question which has not been disputed by anybody is: How did Trayvon sit on the top of Zimmerman when the latter was lying on the ground? Is there any criminal record against Zimmerman before this solitary incident?
"According to a records search on George, he was previously arrested for domestic violence, resisting an officer without violence and most shockingly, resisting an officer with violence — a felony charge that surely could have landed him in prison.
Did george used his father the retired judge to drop the charges?
I would love to be in the class where these two beauties came from!
Not me. Show me your friends and I tell you who you are. So, if Trayvon had friend like Rachel, who was he?Are we still in USA? I wonder.
What a joke that girl was as a witness 19 years old cant read or write. thats exactly what we are getting for our education dollars now there s no excuse for it she was an unintelligent uneducated member of the african american community probably a good example of the entire community Cnn is doing everything it can to sway this trial and make it appear asw the person is already guilty breaks down pretty racially on piers program except he is trying to make the person guilty
Piers ask the right questions. Yes, it was ill will to look at this kid as a punk. No other newscaster brought that up!
I understand cultural differences but I don't think being rude is one of them. I felt like she didn't do her friend justice. And I'd like to think had it been me I would've came off much more respectful. But then again I am over 40.
I beg to differ. You do not understand cultural differences if you suppose her "rudeness" was because of her culture. She already had an adversarial relationship with that defense attorney before the public trial started. He had interviewed her and got her dander up before the last round on television. She already knew he was going to attempt to humiliate her before the WORLD regarding her disabilities regarding reading and writing. The questions were addressed in the preinterview. Now her friends and family and the world know of her disability which most children in special education go to great lengths to hide because they do not want to seem as if they are deficient in comparison to the rest of the kids in regular classes. If you call her rude, I would rather see that type of behavior than the typical American cultural response to mocking which means getting some high caliber guns and bombs and shhoting up schools and innocent people because
If you don't want to be mocked for being stupid, the answer seems pretty obvious, doesn't it?
Laura, you are absolutely correct! Most don't know the world of education or special education unless you are in it professionally, or a special need student. So ignorant comments are attached to culture when it's a disability which could be attached to someone who is white or hispanic as well.
Stupid? A person who knows that an action or thought is wrong and deliberately carries out said wrong action or thought can be labeled stupid. Just like a person who has been informed about someone's educational condition and continues to have expectations of said person to be on same level of the average person of the same age could be called asinine or dense in comparison to someone of the same age who knows of the different reasons a person. is in special education. FYI academically enriched students aka smart children are also included in special education.
I can believe that if anyone was being followed and felt threatered by that person, they would easily use politically incorrect language in that moment of fear. He was also talking to a girlfriend so he will use macho language so as to not sound afraid. This case would be talked about very differently if Trayvon had been a white kid called "Kevin" and If George's name was Juan Guitterez.
I think TM supporters are crazy. They keep disregarding the evidence. The witnesses are only a small part of this case. It was the overwhelming convincing evidence set GZ free. GZ's wet back, his wounds, and TM's gun wound tells the truth. Stop being blind!
I just think the tm supporters are ignorant, they were fed lies by Mr Crump and Sharpton. They were manipulated to believe this was a race case, manipulated to believe so many lies. It has been proven they lied and lied and lied and lied, yet so many still want to believe it, as not to call any more attn to the lies. It is very sad. So many real race cases out there that need their attn. But this is the one that sticks. These people need to realize what they really want, what is the goal? less deaths, less vilolence, less racism. If those are the goal, which I think is what they want, there are so many cases to make national that could really help solve those problems. when they focus on cases like this and have their leaders consistently lie to them, they are not helping meet that goal. they are helping to create a greater divide. a that or ence

On Tuesday, the California Senate Public Safety Committee is hearing arguments on the California Location Privacy Bill (SB 1434). It's a new bill that would provide more consumer protection for law enforcement access to mobile phones. As currently written, it would require a warrant before police gain access to location information, and would also require that mobile phone companies disclose how often and why they are giving up this information as a way to monitor proper use of this law.
Not surprisingly, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California have been arguing in favor of the new bill. Who's against? Why, it's CTIA, the industry trade group of the cellphone industry.
In an April 12, 2012 letter addressed (PDF) to State Senator Mark Leno (author of the bill), CTIA says it is opposed to SB 1434 because it may "create confusion for wireless providers and hamper their response to legitimate law enforcement investigations." The group also states that "[the bill will] create unduly burdensome and costly mandates on providers and their employees and are unnecessary as they will not serve wireless consumers."
Earlier this month, the ACLU said it received over 5,500 pages from 200 local law enforcement agencies about their tracking policies. The organization concluded that "while cell phone tracking is routine, few agencies consistently obtain warrants. Importantly, however, some agencies do obtain warrants, showing that law enforcement agencies can protect Americans' privacy while also meeting law enforcement needs." In short, it seems like law enforcement can stay within the law, even when it takes the trouble to get a warrant—how is that confusing?
On the financial side, CTIA's argument is laughable. Just to give one example—Sprint is a $7 billion company, and it charges law enforcement a $30 monthly flat fee to provide location data on an unlimited basis. And, keep in mind: in 2009, Wired reported that during a 13-month period, Sprint disclosed that data 8 million times. So how exactly is this new bill providing a "costly mandate?"
Mobile phone companies can give up this data millions of times per year, but really can't be bothered to tell us when or why? That's ridiculous.

Mar-18-09 Council on Local Mandates Upholds COAH
Council on Local Mandates Upholds COAH
TRENTON - The Council on Local Mandates today ruled that the Council on Affordable Housing's (COAH) third round rules do not represent an unfunded mandate. Additionally, the Council found that there is a constitutional obligation to create a realistic opportunity for affordable housing.
"From the beginning we have stressed that the COAH process is completely voluntary and does not and has not imposed any mandates on New Jersey municipalities," said Department of Community Affairs Commissioner Joseph Doria. "The Council's ruling today is another in a string of rulings, including those by the Courts last fall, which uphold the process by which COAH formulated its third round rules and the need for affordable housing in New Jersey. Now, instead of squandering taxpayer funds defending a repeatedly validated process, hopefully we can move forward with the production of much needed affordable housing."
The Council's ruling was the result of an appeal submitted to them on August 15, 2008 by Medford Township, stating that COAH's third round rules were an unfunded mandate. Mount Laurel Township and the League of Municipalities also filed briefs in support. The Office of Public Advocate and Fair Share Housing Center filed in support of COAH.
Today, the Council heard oral argument from all parties, and within less than an hour affirmed that COAH's third round rules do not represent an unfunded mandate. This is the latest decision to validate the open and transparent process that COAH developed as a result of a January 2007 Appellate Court ruling that overturned COAH's first set of third round regulations. In September, 2008, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court denied a request that a special master be charged with facilitating affordable housing in New Jersey. The Appellate Court also denied a request to permit builders' remedy litigation to continue against municipalities even while COAH's rules were pending.
COAH, an affiliate of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, facilitates the production of sound, affordable housing for low and moderate income households by providing the most effective process to municipalities, housing providers, nonprofit and for profit developers to address a constitutional obligation within the framework of sound, comprehensive planning.

Galaxy S2 shutting off in idle mode
Recently, I noticed that my phone shuts off while in sleep mode. This just happens when I don't check it for a while and the display is turned off. When I do go to check my phone, it's unresponsive, even if I hold down the power button. So far, I've had to remove the batter every time this has happened in order to reboot it.
I just don't get what the issue is. I'm probably missing phone calls because I'm not even aware that my phone is turning off. I feel like after the ICS update my phone has had issues. I already performed a factory reset last week since I was having a problem with the notifications not ringing and vibrating, and now, this is happening on top of that.
If anyone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 i777.
Oh, and another thing, I noticed that my batter is at 95-100% before it shuts off by itself, and once it boots up again it's down to 85-89%. I also feel like it might be an issue with overheating: I noticed that my phone feels hot after I've been using it for a while, like texting or using the internet, and then I set it down to do other stuff when I notice that it's turned off. My phone usually feels really hot too, and the case I have for my phone probably does not help either.
Filed a complaint with BBB last week. Received an email today from Office of the President saying someone will contact me to resolve this issue or I can call them directly. I was given a case number and phone number.
I installed Cyanogenmod 9.1 and everything works and no more SOD!
Received a call from AT&T today. After some discussion I was offered an S3 for $199 with no upgrade fee and do not have to renew my contract. He was not aware of this issue and I wouldn't expect a fix for this problem. Everyone I have talked to at AT&T say they are not aware of the problem with the phone.
I second that emotion. Do NOT take that deal.
You can get a refurbished (all the ones they are offering are) S3 and no contract or other charges. Just FYI... they have so many refurbished S3 that they are even having a "sale" on them... sigh 😞 Do not expect the SOD to go away with ATT... it is NOT a Samsung problem per se, it's something ATT does to the phone.
Get to the Specialty Department which is what ATT calls Customer Retention. Threaten them with T-Mobile... they hate that 🙂 They have a LOT more sway.
ATT in the rear view mirror...
The SOD is not limited to AT&T. Do a google search and you will find it occuring on nearly all carriers in different countries. It started with the first Gingerbread to ICS upgrade and was made much worse by the 4.04 update. Apparently some Galaxy S2 phones didn't have an issue until the 4.04 update, but I have been fighting it since upgrading to ICS last year. My phone is pretty old, as I got it right after it came out on AT&T. I contacted AT&T tech support about it last September after finding several forum threads about the issue. They, of course, had never heard of the problem and suggested reloading the upgrade from Kies or turning it in under warranty, as I had a couple of weeks left. I reloaded the upgrade, and the issue went from occurring every day to every few weeks...long enough for the warranty to run out. After the 4.04 update, it went back to averaging every day. Sometimes it would go a week without issue then it might occur several times in one day. I had some hope when one of the board moderators said that Samsung and AT&T were aware of the issue and were working on a solution. That was some months ago, and yesterday I got fed up, rooted my phone, and installed Shostock3. It seems to be running fine now on Android 4.1.2. The process is much less painful than dealing with clueless AT&T tech support.
Yes... I second that... about when this problem started. I had the SOD during the GB days. Upgraded to ICS - still had it. The only time it seems I didn't have it was while I was at 4.0.3. All other times, before and after, I was battling it with factory resets and new phones.
I filed a complaint with the BBB and after 23 days of back and forth between myself, AT&T, and Samsung...absolutely nothing was resolved. I spoke with a representative (Stephanie) from AT&T several times, who focused entirely on shifting the blame off of AT&T. The first time I spoke with her she told me this was a known issue and that it is a "Manufacturer's defect" and that Samsung will replace the faulty device. I proceeded to contact Samsung, only to find out that it is not a "known issue" and that the only thing they could offer me was to set up a repair session, where I send my phone to them, and then pay the bill for the repairs when the send the phone back. Obviously unacceptable.
So, I tried contacting Stephanie again, but she did not respond until I had filed a follow up report with the BBB. The next time I talked to her she stressed that it was Google who was at fault because they provide the software. After telling her that this was an issue that seemed to hit the AT&T S2 particularly hard (I have seen some post from other carriers, but nowhere near the 17 pages on the AT&T forums) and that because I am an AT&T customer (not a Google customer), she informed me that it was my "choice" to update to 4.0.4, and that made ME liable for the damage. While I understand this for apps I choose to download, or if I were rooting, it is completely ridiculous to claim that I am liable for an OTA ICS update. Additionally, if you try to ignore the update, it automatically installs itself the third time (assuming you allowed it to download). After explaining that to her, she offered me a replacement phone based on availability and that she would call me back.
When she called back, she informed me she had no replacement phones and that her final offer would be to contact Samsung on my behalf. She did so and then called me back to explain to me that I had already talked to Samsung (which I had already told her!) and that my only option would be to send it for the repair. I tried one last time to convince her that responsibility MUST lie with AT&T since I pay them every month for phone service, but she told me AT&T takes no responsbility and that she would not be providing me with any more customer service. I asked to be released from my contract then, and she informed me that that was not an option.
All I wanted was an AT&T approved method for 4.0.3 rollback, a timetable for when an update would be available to fix this problem on 4.0.4, or a replacement phone which did not experience SODs.
Where did this 4.0.4 update come from? As far as I can tell it must have appeared spontaneously since nobody seems to feel any responsibility for it and clearly nobody tested it. I am not excited to root my phone but I am quickly running out of option since I still have 9 months on my contract 😕
Unfortunately you were right. SOD came back. It is not that bad -once a week, but still anoying. What metod did you use to root your phone and where did you found 4.0.3 ?
Npl, I also filed a BBB complaint and had the same response as you did. The AT&T representative offerred no solution to me, not even waiving my upgrade fee, and blamed all the faults to Google and Samsung. I also asked him to fix this simply by providing a roll back, which is of course not possible.
The representative said AT&T doesn't modify the OS, they only give specs to Google/Samsung, so it's not their fault. I'm not familiar with how they usually do it, but I think Google and Samsung has nothing to do with this. Since Google only released the original Android 4.0.4 which doesn't have SoD, and Samsung released 4.0.4 update for S II international version which doesn't have SoD neither. Anyone can chime in this part, or point out if I'm wrong?
Since I have no luck through BBB, any suggestion with how I can get this fixed by AT&T? I know I can fix this by rooting, but I don't want to spend time on researching yet, and AT&T sould be responsible for this. We should unite and do something to make this happen!
"galaxys2root.com" has everything you need to revert back to 4.03 and root if you like. You need not root to go back to 4.03 but there are benefits if you do.
I recommend everyone post their complaint with the BBB. Only takes a few minutes. I also filed a complaint with the Illinois attorney general who also has an online form.
Best thing you can do other than the above is let as many people as you can know of your "experiences" with AT&T's wonderful customer service regarding the Galaxy phones. I have changed the signature on the emails sent from my phone to add a negative message about AT&T customer non-care. Word of mouth is a powerful thing so don't hesitate to talk people out of AT&T. They truly have offered the most negative, horrific user experience I have ever had with had for $80 a month. An all out, grass roots campaign against AT&T is the best advertising you can give them.

You can think of a content repository item as consisting of content and metadata. For example, if your content repository includes repository items that are news stories, the metadata might include a story's byline, dateline, length, and keywords, while the content includes the text of the story itself. You can adopt one of two basic architectural styles when you set up an SQL content repository:
You can store both the content and the metadata in your SQL database. A content repository item includes a property whose value was the content.
You can store the metadata in the database, and the content in your file system. In this case, the metadata includes properties that indicate how to look up the content in the file system. A content repository item includes a property whose value was a pointer to the content in the file system.
As with other repositories, setting up an SQL content repository involves the following steps:
Design the item types you want to include in your content repository. For each type of repository item, decide what sorts of properties you want to have available to you for searching and targeting content in the repository.
Set up an SQL database containing content repository items, to act as the data store of the repository.
Create a repository definition. This is an XML file that describes the repository's item descriptors and property descriptors, and defines the relationship among these items and the rows and tables of the database. See Creating an SQL Content Repository Definition.
Configure an SQL Repository component that interacts with the data store you set up in step 2 to create, modify, and retrieve repository items. See Configuring an SQL Content Repository.
A repository that contains content items must include item descriptors flagged with the
folder and
content attributes of the
<item-descriptor> tag in the SQL repository definition.

I hope that you are all having an absolutely wonderful weekend, and Happy Memorial Day to all my readers here in the USA. So far, we're having a terrific holiday weekend, because my little sisters came to visit us - Suzanne and Maranne (they're twins!).
They are AWESOME, and we had such a great time. We spent a lot of time in the kitchen while they were in town, so get ready for some great posts coming up soon...One of which I am super excited about. Guess what...We filmed the first ever instructional cooking video to be shared here on Sugar & Spice by Celeste! I think you'll find the video funny and informative, so stay tuned for that.
First up, I'm excited to share with you a recipe we created for Fresh Cherry-Dark Chocolate Ice Cream. I found a gorgeous bag of red cherries at my local grocer, and I simply could not resist buying them. I didn't really have a specific plan in mind for them at the time, but I figured I'd come up with something fun. So when my sisters got the urge to put the ice cream maker to work last night, this is what we came up with.
I've always adored chocolate covered cherries, so the flavor combo was a no-brainer. Chocolate and cherries go together like rock and roll, shake and bake, salt and pepper...Well, you get the idea! :)
I think you'll really love this fresh fruit infused ice cream - Especially on a hot summer day!
Bon Appetit!***
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Seeds from 1 vanilla bean
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
4 oz. Ghiradelli 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
1 1/2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and chopped into small pieces
Combine all ingredients, except for the chocolate and cherries, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Pour mixture into the bowl of your ice cream maker, and freeze according to the unit's instructions.
About 3/4 into the freezing process, add the chocolate and cherry pieces. Continue to freeze until it has increased by 1/2 to 3/4 the original volume, and has reached a soft serve consistency (It will not freeze hard in the machine).
Next, spoon the mixture back into a lidded container and harden in the freezer for at least 1 hour before serving.

Cheese and mushroom casserole with chicken
This casserole is simple and delicious, and makes a perfect snack during a picnic (bento anyone?)—you should use it as a basic idea for a casserole, since the pasta sauce is the stable and the most important piece of the meal. It's also a very tweak-able recipe! :-)
Easy: 6 steps, about 1 hour

Plain muffins
Nothing says "hello autumn" like a batch of fresh muffins or cupcakes! :-) With this simple recipe, you gonna whip them up in no time, and they will be a perfect base for more fancy muffins with fruit (I love muffins with dried plum bits), chocolate chip muffins, caramel-stuffed ones or double-or-triple-chocolate ;-) Or savory ones: paprika, tomato, herbs, sunflower seeds, etc. It all starts with this recipe.
Easy: 5 steps, 30 minutes

- Aren't all synthetic grass systems the same?
Definitely not! ForeverLawn® is clearly a cut above. Please take the time to review our product section, as well as the "Only ForeverLawn" section. In short we have unique products, designed for durability and realism, with a premium backing system and advanced, unique seaming method. ForeverLawn is defining the curve with unmatched and industry leading quality.
- Is the grass pet friendly?
Absolutely. In a low use backyard any of our products will do fine. However, if you have multiple dogs or are looking for a kennel area, K9Grass® is the product you want. It is designed specifically for dogs with a new construction featuring our Flow Through Backing™ and antimicrobial blades for maximum protection.
- Can animal waste harm ForeverLawn grass?
Since the grass is porous, the urine will drain through to the ground beneath and will not stain the fibers. The feces can be scooped and discarded and the remainder hosed off without harming the grass in any way. However, normal type turf systems have restricted drainage and limited cleanability. This is why we developed K9Grass. Low use areas are great for all our turfs, but high use dog areas should use K9Grass.
- Will the grass fade?
Ultimately yes. All synthetics will fade, ours or others. However, ForeverLawn is treated with a UV inhibitor to protect against fading and UV degradation, and we are going on 11 years of real life experience with our turf, and all is well. Plus, we offer a 15-year limited warranty.
- Does the grass have a warranty?
Yes, our warranty covers fade and excessive wear for 15 years.
- How is the grass priced?
The grass is priced on a per square foot basis which can be figured by taking the width of an area times the length.
- How much does the grass cost?
That's a tough one due to all the variables such as geographic region, dealer representation, ground prep requirements, access to the area, size of the job, etc. Your best bet is to contact your local dealer. They will be able to provide a site survey and give you accurate answers to all your questions and specific recommendations on the options that will serve you best for years to come. Actual pricing will vary from area to area.
- Does water drain through the grass?
Yes, our grass is perforated throughout to allow for water to properly flow through into the drainage base that has been applied underneath.
- Does the grass mold or mildew?
Due to the non-absorbing nature of the materials used and the drainage base designed to migrate water away from the grass, mold and mildew is not an issue. In fact, our backing is made of an antimicrobial urethane foam and a geotextile fabric made of recycled plastic bottles.
- How hot does the grass get?
The grass does not stay as cool as natural grass which has water running through it, but does not absorb and radiate heat like pavement, rock or brick.
- Will the rubber infill harm my children or pets?
Our rubber is non-toxic and in no way will harm either children or pets if swallowed. A material safety data sheet can be provided upon request.
- Will the grass catch fire?
The grass is non-flammable.
- How much water would I really save by using your grass?
According to the water management statistics, 75% of your monthly water bill is for outside use!
- What if I spill something on the grass like paint?
Our grass is made of nonabsorbent materials that would allow you to simply clean up any spill without staining. A complete care guide will be mailed to you after the completion of the job that will tell you how to care for your grass and clean any spill.
- Will the grass harbor any bugs?
Since the grass has no organic value, the bugs have nothing to feed on and therefore will move on to a yard with real grass. Fire ants have a hard time coming up through the drainage holes and will generally find an area outside the grass that has less resistance.
