Getting To Know One Another

I am part of a women's group at church that has been meeting since early in the summer to study Christian formation. During our four months together, those of us in the group have gotten to know each other and ourselves a little better. The course consists of a six book series. We began the second book today. Someone (none of us currently in the group) decided that it would be a good idea to bring in a new person to facilitate the group. In my opinion, which no one asked for, this was a poor decision. Because if this, much of our time today was spent "getting to know one another". With the exception of one person, our new leader, we all know each other well enough to continue comfortably in the group. Nonetheless, we were asked to pair off and learn something about our partner that no one knows and then share that with the others.

I hate this kind of thing! I hate party games too. Unfortunately my partner could not use either of these things as something no one knows about me because I am such an introvert that if she had tried to pass them off as a surprising fact she would have been laughed at hysterically.

So what did she say about me? She asked about my life as a musician - a teacher and composer - as well as as a writer. She then inquired as to which was more fulfilling to me, writing music or writing words. I think that she was surprised when I responded that at this point in my life, writing words is more fulfilling. In the last several years I have not written any music that I am willing to let anyone hear. Although, in the last two weeks, I have begun work on something new. It is only about sixteen measures long right now and in its embryonic stage, but it is more than I have composed in a long time. Perhaps this is the beginning of a phase of music over words. Or, maybe I should write a song so that I can work with both. Something to think about . . .

Despie my dislike for group sharing of this nature, I thought I would be a good sport and share a few things about me that you don't know and probably really don't care about.
  • Though I was a Navy brat and always lived near water, I don't like seafood. For many people a dislike of fish has to do with never having eaten fresh seafood. Even when it is fresh I don't like it. Occasionally I will eat tuna salad but I'm not sure that really counts as seafood.
  • I am seriously claustrophobic. There better not be too many people in the elevator with me, my clothes can't be the least bit tight, and CAT scans of my head require lots of good drugs! Oh, and no middle seats on the plane.
  • I have a sock obsession, particularly funky striped hand knit socks. And, I don't much care if the funky stripes on each sock match.
  • I like to do the New York Times crossword puzzle every day even if the Friday puzzle makes me think I am a candidate for remedial education rather than MENSA.
  • I do spell fairly well. Spelling errors on the page are the result of feline assistance. The cat does not spell well; she just likes to randomly type. In fact, she bites my hand when I try correct her spelling mistakes.
  • It is fairly difficult to embarrass me. I have embarrassed myself so many times that there is little that anyone else can to make me turn those multiple shades of red.
  • I don't like nuts in my ice cream, brownies or circle of friends.
  • My idea of sexy lingerie is pajama bottoms with duckies on them and a T-shirt. (Like my socks, they don't match either.)
  • I have more crayons than my kids do and I am not afraid to use them. I have signed birthday cards, graded tests and written notes to my kids' teachers with crayons. I do use the grown up colors like robin's egg blue, chestnut, and apricot. For the most important documents I resort to the more mature colors, the now retired ones, like blizzard blue, maize, or magic mint.
  • Diet Coke is my drug of choice.

That may be more than you ever wanted to know about me.

Climate Change: Global Warming

Nitish Malhotra

This project contains details of how the earth has been affected by climate change caused by global warming over the years and how people continue to make it worse by pursuing harmful environmental activities around the world. The effects and prevention of such harmful changes are stated next to the definition and treatment of the same.

1) CLIMATE – Weather conditions that exist in the universe or in the long term.
2) GLOBAL WARMING – The gradual increase in global warming is often the result of global warming caused by rising levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants.
3) SUSTAINABILITY – the ability to be maintained at a certain level or level.
4) EMISSION- The production and release of something, especially gas or radiation.
5) METEROLOGISTS- a science branch responsible for the processes and conditions of the atmosphere, especially as a means of forecasting the weather.
6) CLIMATEOLOGIST- A meteorologist examines weather patterns for a period of time. Their work is similar to that of astronomers but focuses on the longevity of the process, researching styles in months, years or centuries.

Introduction to Global warming
Global warming is a phenomenon of climate change characterized by a marked increase in the Earth’s temperature, which changes weather patterns and the environment over time. It is directly linked to the increase in greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, which makes the impact of heat much worse. In fact, the average global temperature rose by 0.8º Celsius (33.4 ° Fahrenheit) compared with the end of the 19th century. Each of the last three decades has been the warmest of the last decade since the beginning of mathematical research in 1850. With the current release of CO2, scientists expect an increase between 1.5 ° and 5.3 ° C (34.7 ° to 41.5 ° F) at temperatures between 2100. If no action is taken, it could have catastrophic consequences for mankind and the biosphere.
The effect of the greenhouse is natural. However, the increase in greenhouse gases is related to human activities. It is not surprising, then, that the world’s leading meteorologists believe that human activity may be a major cause of global warming since the middle of the twentieth century, largely because of
Excessive use of fossil fuels is apparently the primary source of global warming, as burning coals, oil, and gas produce carbon dioxide – the most important greenhouse gases in the atmosphere – and nitrous oxide. Deforestation plays a major role in climate change. Trees help control the weather by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. When cut down, the good effect is lost and the carbon stored in the trees is released into the atmosphere.
Another cause of global warming is intensive farming, not just for growing livestock, but also for crop protection products and fertilizers. In fact, cattle and sheep produce large amounts of methane when digesting their food, while manure produces nitrous oxide emissions.
Waste management methods such as landfill and fire burning emit heat and toxic gases – including methane – emitted into the atmosphere, soil and water, contributing to the increase in the effect of heat.
Modern life depends largely on the mining and metallurgical industry. Metals and minerals are the raw materials used in the construction, transport and production of goods. From emissions to delivery, this market makes up 5% of all greenhouse gas emissions.
Finally, overuse plays a key role in climate change. In fact, it is responsible for the overuse of natural resources and emissions from global logistics, which contribute to global warming.
Biodiversity: Rising temperatures and climate change are affecting the environment; change the conditions and cycles of plant production. Lack of resources and climate change are changing lifestyles and animal migration cycles. We are already seeing the extinction of many species – including only extinct species – or, on the other hand, the invasion of invasive species that threatens plants and other animals. Global warming, therefore, is contributing to biodiversity. It is the balance of biodiversity that is altered and threatened. According to the IPCC, an increase of between 1.5 ° C (34.7 ° F) could put 20-30% of the species at risk of extinction. If the planet is warmer than 2 ° C, most living things will suffer.
Oceans: As a result of global warming, glaciers and glaciers melt heavily on poles, raising sea levels to an unprecedented level. In a century, the increase has reached 18 cm (including 6 cm 20 years ago). The worst situation is to climb up to 1m by 2100.
Sea acidification is also a major concern. In fact, the large amount of CO2 seized by the oceans makes them highly acidic, raising serious questions about the evolution of marine shells or coral reefs.
People: People are not saved by these conflicts. Climate change is affecting the global economy. It is already shaking the social, health and spatial dimensions in many parts of the world. Lack of resources such as food and energy causes new conflicts.
Rising sea levels and floods are causing migration. The smaller islands are on the front row. The estimated number of refugees in 2050 is 250 million people.
The weather: For decades now, meteorologists and meteorologists around the world have been monitoring the effects of global warming. And the impact is huge: too much drought and heat waves, too much rain, too many natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, typhoons and wildfires, the dry season, etc.

  1. Renewable energy: The first way to prevent climate change is to stay away from energy. What are some alternatives? Renewable energy such as solar, wind, biomass and geothermal.
  2. Water efficiency and efficiency: Producing clean energy is important, but reducing our energy and water consumption by using more efficient devices (eg LED lights, new shower systems) is less expensive and equally important.
  3. Sustainable mobility: Promoting public transportation, automotive transportation, but also electricity and hydrogen transportation, can certainly help reduce CO2 emissions and thus combat global warming.
  4. Sustainable infrastructure: To reduce CO2 emissions from buildings – caused by heat, cold air, hot water or lighting – it is necessary to build low-power buildings, and repair existing buildings.
  5. Sustainable agriculture and forestry management:
    Encouraging better use of natural resources, stopping large-scale deforestation and making agriculture greener and more efficient should also be a priority.
  6. Proper use and reuse: Adherence to proper use habits is important, whether in the form of food (especially meat), clothing, cosmetics or cleaning products. Finally, recycling is a complete requirement to deal with garbage.

Environmental Laws
1) Kyoto protocol
2) PPP Law
3) Indian Environmental Laws and Acts

1) The Kyoto Protocol
a) The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in December 1997 at the third Conference of the Parties (COP 3) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It is the most important agreement in the world of nature. In addition to its importance as a landmark in the world’s efforts to combat climate change, it has a major impact on development policy and forms a new component of global economic planning. As part of a successful global governance, the Kyoto Protocol is a symbol and serves as a model.
b) 192 states have ratified the Convention. EU member states submitted their certification instruments by 31 May 2002. Among the developed countries, only the United States and Australia have not ratified the Protocol. Australia voluntarily intends to reduce its emissions to the level that would have been required if it had ratified the Kyoto Protocol agreement. Most emerging economies and developing countries, including China, India and Brazil, have ratified the Protocol.
c) Through the Kyoto Protocol, the international community for the first time agreed on a set of goals and measures to combat climate change. The Kyoto Protocol describes the global installation of greenhouse gas emissions. Developed countries recognize their historical responsibility for global warming: therefore, (there are developing countries) taking the first step with a commitment to reduce pollution in the first half of the 2008-2012 commitment.
d) Developed countries have realized their historical responsibility for global warming: therefore, (and initially not developing countries) they have taken the first step with a commitment to reduce pollution in the first half of the 2008-2012 commitment. In addition to cutting off its issuance, countries have three flexible instruments to help achieve this goal: Emissions Trading (global trade in export rights), Joint Implementation (technology development and transfer) and the Clean Development Mechanism (implementation initiatives in developing countries).
2) PPP LAW (Polluter Pays Principle)
a) The Polluter Pays Principle was first introduced in 1972 by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Guiding Principles on International Economic Policy for Environmental Policy in which pollution was held under pollution. Subsequently, the Rio Declaration set out guidelines for sustainable development which means a strategy to meet the needs of the current generation without compromising the needs of the next generation. To further the goal of sustainable development the Rio Declaration Principle 16 of the Rio Declaration incorporated the policy of Polluter Pays which states that pollutants must bear the cost of pollution.
b) The Indian Judiciary has filed a Polluter Pays Principle as being part of the Environmental Law regime is reflected in these appeals judgments.
• Indian Council of Enviro-Legal Action vs. Union of India 1996 (3) SCC 212
The Court held that if the work performed is dangerous or inherently harmful, the person performing the work is liable to compensate for the losses incurred by another person in his or her work regardless of the proper care performed while performing his or her duties. The law refers specifically to the type of work being done.
• Oleum Gas Leak Case (M.C. Mehta vs. Union of India) AIR 1987 SC 1086
The Court held that a business that engages in hazardous or hazardous business that could endanger the health and safety of factory workers and those living in the vicinity, owes a full and undisclosed work to ensure that no damage is done to anyone as a An entity is fully liable to compensate for any damages and notwithstanding any other reasonable consideration made to its account. As a business grows and prospers more, it should be the amount of compensation paid for damages incurred as a result of carrying out dangerous or hazardous work performed by an entity.
3) Indian Environmental Laws and Acts
A) India’s constitution lays the foundation for all environmental laws. The “Directive Principles of State Policy” obligates the entire State to “strive to protect and enhance the environment and to protect the country’s forests and wildlife”.
b) The six laws relating to the protection of wildlife and wildlife are: The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986; Forest Act (Conservation), 1980; Wildlife Protection Act, 1972; Water Act (Pollution Prevention and Control), 1974; Air Law (Prevention and Control of Pollution), 1981 and The Indian Forest Act, 1927.
c) The Environmental Protection Act (1986) empowers the central government to protect and improve the quality of the environment, to regulate and reduce pollution from all sources, and to prevent or restrict the placement and / or operation of any industrial environment for environmental reasons.
d) Protect the forest, its flowers, its animals and various other species. Protect the integrity, territory and personality of the forest. Protecting forests and preventing deforestation that will lead to land erosion and subsequent landslides. Preventing deforestation in the forest.
e) The main purpose of the Wildlife Act is to protect wildlife, birds and plants. The law empowers the Central Govt. declaring certain places as sanctuaries or National Parks. The law prohibits poaching; birds etc and impose a penalty for the same violation.
f) The Water Act is enacted for the purpose of protection and control of pollution in India. The Act seeks to preserve or restore a good water environment for the establishment of Boards and to give them such powers to enable them to achieve the objects of the Act.
g) The main purpose of the Air protection act, 1981, is to provide clean air to citizens and the main objectives are: a) It provides that air pollution in any form is prevented and controlled. … b) Provides for the establishment of national and international air and pollution control boards.
h) Both the 1878 and 1927 acts sought to consolidate and maintain forest cover areas, or important wildlife, to control the movement and movement of forest products, and to pay for timber and other forest products.

1) In conclusion, we need to participate and try to prevent global warming and other effects on climate change. If global temperatures continue to rise in the future, life on earth could suffer as a result of global warming.
2) Replacing our major energy sources with clean and renewable energy. Solar, Wind, Geothermal and biomass could be the solution. Our modes of transportation should be in line with environmental requirements and reduce their carbon footprint.

Superbowl Party @ The Catalina

Balans, Mary Brickell Village

Late-night-brunch and crowd-pleasing-fusion spot Balans has opened an outpost for downtown office refugees in Mary Brickell Village. The menu's got a smattering of Asian, American and Greek classic (like the feta salad, below).
There's a happy hour everyday (except during holidays) from 3pm-7pm, with 2 for 1 cocktails, half price beer and wine by the glass and $2 off entrees. It's open until 4am on weekends—but the real draws are the glass bathroom stalls that go magically opaque when locked. Who isn't impressed by foggy windows?
901 S. Miami Ave (between SW. 9th and 10th).

Grana Padano Lunch @ Casa Tua

It's not often I get to take a break from my glamorous laptop-pounding and scurry off to Casa Tua for a leisurely lunch. So when the good folks from Grana Padano cheese extended me an invite to come taste their wares I happily obliged. The setting was the lovely chef's table at Casa Tua flanked by the restaurant's marble-embellished open kitchen. The master of the menu was Casa Tua's executive chef, Sergio Sigala.

On hand were three varieties of the nutty, Parmesan-like cheese: the 12-16 months, one aged for 18 months, and a mature 26 month-old variety. As lunch progressed we learned that Italy produces over 4 million wheels of this cow's milk cheese a year. It's also great for those that are lactose-intolerant and easily digestible due to its long ripening time. The cheese is certainly versatile, working well in cooked, hearty dishes or served simply with honey and fruit preserves.

First course was a soft polenta with black truffle sauce and 14-month Grana Padano flakes, the young cheese adding texture and salt to the thin and truffly polenta. Next was a potato gnocchi stuffed with the 26-month cheese, dressed in a pear sauce and accompanied by caramelized pears and crispy prosciutto. These were some of the best gnocchi I've ever tasted - light, delicate and nicely complimented by the sweet pears and the floral, nutty aged cheese.

I was already quite full by the time the 4th course rolled around so I wasn't really feeling the grilled calamari stuffed with 18-month cheese and breadcrumbs. The side of candied red onions and cannelli beans added a nice hearty element to the dish.

A palate cleanser of sorts, the next dish was simply and beautifully presented. Each cheese was matched with a fruity preserve. The cheeses are pictured with the youngest on left served with chianti jelly, the 18-month cheese went with a fig preserve and the oldest cheese had a mustard jelly. I liked the fig and cheese combo the best, but the mustard jelly added a nice spicy kick to the mature cheese.

Dessert was a pear and hazelnut crostatina with ice cream flavored with the 14-month cheese. All of the flavors came together fabulously in this dish, as the nuts and the fuit worked well with the ice cream which only mildly tasted of the cheese and was more sweet and creamy, rather than savory.

All in all, a lovely way to get to know a cheese I was as-yet unacquainted with. I walked away with a hefty hunk of it which I have been assiduously shredding over every salad and pasta dish produced at Che AllPurposeD.
Hopefully I'll be motivated enough this weekend to try using it with some of the recipes they also included. The grana padano-flecked carrot rissotto is calling my name....

Dinner at Red Light

Had dinner at Red Light last night with a bunch of friends. We sat outside despite near-blizzard temps. Luckily there was a heat lamp, though it stopped working midway-through, then they managed to crank it back up again so we were were nice and toasty. I'm posting a few of the menu items since I haven't written much about the place since it opened. Much of the menu can be ordered in small or large portions which is great for tasting a variety of plates. It's still really affordable and the service was very good last night. They were really nice and waived the corkage fees for our party (though it wasn't quite clear what the corkage fee is), and we also ordered a nice bottle of pinot for $27.

One of the nicest surprises of the night was when the waiter came out with this huge terrine of New Orleans-style bbq shrimp, compliments of the house, as a reward for our sitting out in the cold last night. Deelish, those little shrimipies were, and the sauce was perfect for sopping up with the toasted baguettes.

-fish chowder, $7 (made with snapper, fresh corn and a delicious milky broth seasoned with peppercorns)
-grilled eggplant salad with feta and organic greens, $8
-organic tomato and mozzarella salad, $10
-pot of mussels, $8
-quail, $9 (with an amazing gravy)
-organic beef burger, $9 (didn't taste this but it looked huge, also came with potatoes)
-tangy spareribs, $10 for 5
-sides of mac and cheese $4
-apple cobbler $5, crusty and delicious
-homemade lemon kumquat sorbet, $4
-chocolate pot de creme, $5

Living La Vida Local

Well, looky here. CNN interviewed me for the local's perspective on living in Miami as part of their My City My Life profile of Iggy Pop. I'm always happy to share the spotlight with good 'ole Iggs, though he's dreadfully pale for a Miami resident.

Gotham Steak @ The Fontainebleau

My First Look on Gotham Steak is up and The New Times just gave the spot a glowing review. I still think Scarpetta is a much more interesting dining experience at the hotel, but I'll leave that to you dear readers to decide. (Maybe I'm just a spaghetti fiend. Maybe I'm just fatigued by steakhouses. Oh yes, that must be it.)
Here's a look inside what's in store should you decide to go for the cow at the New York import.

First off, the interior is grand. We sat downstairs which gives you a nice view into the shiny new kitchen where a dozen or so line chefs are assiduously churning out big-city fare. Plus, the raw bar is very enticing.
Dinner starts with a sea-salt encrusted brioche. Lovely, buttery, salty. It's a shame to share this one with the table.

Next, a starter of wild mushroom pasta with pine nuts and pecorino. A petite portion as it is just a teaser and not a main, but filling and flavorful. At $19 a bit pricey. In fact, as you've probably assumed, the restaurant is not so easy on the wallet, but it's a Vegas-style steakhouse geared to a similar sort of crowd.

Ah yes, the beef. Here it is in all its wagyu glory, all 8 oz. of a NY strip. Moist, velvety, rich. Nice presentation, too. Even though sides are al a carte, it's nice to see something on the plate besides a hunk of beef.

And just when you though I might have wimped out on you and not ordered dessert - egads! - I chime in with this doozy. A peanut butter parfait madness made with layers of peanut butter ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate sauce. It took me back to my high school days at Friendly's. Ahh, thems were good times.

Bourbon and Blues @ Bourbon Steak

Last night Bourbon Steak launched their weekly "Bourbon and Blues" night whereby their vast selection of bourbons were 25% and a new bar menu featured such gluttonously-good upscale comfort foods like fried chicken and waffles (below), mac and cheese, crab beignets, oxtail stew, fried grouper with chips and of course those naughty, naughty trio of duck fat fries. Oh, and live music, which made the rosemary focaccia bread taste so much more bluesy.
T'was a great way to spend Wednesday night.

Dining Deals

In some ways, it's a great moment to be a restaurant junkie in Miami. Winter Spice started this week and with it has come a slew of "recession dining" deals around town. If you plan your nights accordingly you can make out with a meal and drink for less than the price of cocktail at most Miami clubs.

Café Prima Pasta (414 71st Street, Miami Beach) - offers 50% off the entire menu (appetizers, entrees, desserts and drinks) daily from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Making a pasta dish like the Gnocchi 4 Formaggi, Lasagna Bolognese or the Penne Ciao as little as $8.50.

SUSHISAMBA dromo (600 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach) – has recently launched a kids menu making dining family style more cost effective. For $12 your SAMBAkid can choose from Sushi Bites, Samba Sliders, Anticuchos or a Baby Bento and finish with a choice of dessert. No babies in tow? Cocktail specials for your “girl or guys night out” includes a 12-glass, custom-designed, cocktail tree for only $60. Where in Miami are you cocktailing for less than $6 a drink?

RARE Steakhouse (468 41st Street, Miami Beach) – the business lunch package for $18.99. Receive a sandwich, any side and glass of wine as well as access to the restaurants private 30 seat upstairs facility with complimentary WIFI. The private room will soon be outfitted with two 42’ plasma screens that are presentation ready.

Kitchen 305 (16701 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach) – offers a $24.99 daily three-course menu.

Asia de Cuba, Miami

It probably goes without saying that Asia de Cuba will be one of the hotter restaurants in Miami this season, regardless of the food. Friday nights the Mondrian is packed, and plenty of scenesters will want to preen from the white-on-white dining tables much the way they did when Social at the Sagamore first opened and everyone went nuts for the Kobe sliders. But thankfully, for those who care more about what's on the plate than who's sashaying through the lobby, there's plenty of good eats at ADC. It'll cost you (what did you expect? Marcel Wanders doesn't come cheap), but you probably already assumed that.

So here's a rundown of some notable fusion-y dishes. The menu is very similar to the ADC in New York which you can peruse here. The restaurant presents itself as a marriage of Latin and Asian flavors which sometimes come together in one dish quite nicely like the Tunapica with olives, black currants and almonds and a soy-lime dressing.

The "noodle box" appetizer seemed to go full-on Asia and forgot about Cuba but that was fine since it was tasty though a bit hard to share. It was composed of wok-fried vegetables encased in rice noodles wrappers and doused in a spicy hoisin sauce. I was impressed that the folks at ADC were not afraid of spice and infused the Asian side of things with adequate fiery flavors.

The grilled strip steak was a nice portion accompanied by logs of gingered chick pea fries (good but heavy) and a palate-refreshing melon slaw dressed with citrus and ginger. Also in the background the plantain fried rice (pleasantly smokey), topped with an avocado salad.

The miso-cured black cod was definitely big enough to share (and at $38 one of the lower-end entrees) and came with an edamame and black bean salad that played off nicely with the flaky fish.

Oh, and dessert? Let's just say you get value for your money. All the desserts are about $14 but you get a slice of cake that could easily satisfy 4 sugar fiends and then a few diabetics lingering around the table jonesing for a spoon of rich coconut frosting goodness.

Last Chance for Sobe Food Fest Tix

The South Beach Food Fest is still within your grasp. On Monday, January 12, 2009 a second block of tickets for all festival events – including sold out favorites such as the Amstel Light Burger Bash hosted by Rachael Ray – will go on sale to the general public.

Druze Village Picnic

We spent a weekend in Northern Israel visiting with good friends and their new adorable baby. We needed to put some distance between us and Jerusalem and this new war which is all anyone talks about, thinks about, stresses about.
Somehow, up north, all that stuff seemed very far away (even though in Israel, you're never that far away. Gaza was maybe a 2-hour ride from us.) We stopped at a local Druze village to gather supplies for a picnic and happened upon this community market with random offerings like olives, gummy candies and faux leather boots. Naturally, we leaned towards the olives which were fantastically cured. We also indulged in some fresh made Druze pita bread which is really more like a thin crepe-like wrap and amazingly tart labneh cheese made from goats milk. Topped it off with a jar of fresh zaatar and we were ready for our hike.

Donut Action

Hanukkah is now over but we were lucky enough to be in Jerusalem for both that holiday and Christmas (which is hugely fascinating if you're Jewish and only exposed to American-style Christmas celebrations. Ain't nothing like being at midnight mass in the Old City in Jerusalem to give you a new perspective on Jesus.) One of the nicest things about being in Israel during a holiday is the food that comes along with it and for Hanukkah it's all about the donuts. But these are not your mama's Dunkin Donuts variety. I'm talking sufganiyot, deep-fried jelly donuts. Some bakeries get all fancy with Arak-flavored and caramel-filled fried buns of goodness. Needless to say, it's hard to resist the ubiquitous treats when every bakery tempts you with specimens like these.

Israel Break

Happy New Year, friends. Apologies for the lack of posting. We've been on an Israel break for the holidays. Visiting with old friends, hugging new babies, dancing at weddings, drinking tea with fresh mint and feasting on chicken wings on the Mediterranean. More updates to come, most of them involving food of course, so stay tuned.

Submerged Orifices From a Turned-Over Weir Board

Weir With Good Nappe
  Weir With Good Nappe

A flow measurement weir has to have a nappe that springs free, leaving an air gap (photo on left).  What if your weir becomes submerged for some reason (photo below), and boards cannot be adjusted to make it work properly as a weir?

Submerged Weir
  Submerged Weir, not working

One thing you can do is turn the weir into a submerged orifice.  The weir board can be turned over, maybe

Weir Board As Orifice
  Weir Board As Orifice

moved down a board position, so the same board serves as a rectangular submerged orifice.

To do this, all the flow needs to pass through a hole cut into the boards.  The depth of the hole doesn’t matter* as long as all of the hole is underwater enough to make it fully contracted.  The area of the hole is very important – it could be in square inches, but squwmm_top_of_table_a9-2_subm_rect_orif-editedare-foot areas are much more convenient to read flows directly from the USBR Water Measurement Manual.  From Table A9-2, flows can be read directly if the area is a multiple of 1/4 square foot.  For example, a hole that is 0.5′ (6 inches) by 0.5′ results in a 0.25 square-foot hole, which is the first column of the cross-sectional area values.

*If the hole is on the bottom and full-width, use Table A9-3, since the bottom will be suppressed.

This is me with 01_At_Diversionweir boards, starting to stack the boards for a weir.  I am using02_One_Board_In 2″ x 6″ lumber from Home Depot.  The lengths are cut about 2″ short of the slot width, so when they swell they won’t get stuck in the slots.  Once the04_1_Ft_Weiry’re all in, I end up with a 0.3′ high, 1.0’long, contracted weir.  The board took 5 minutes to measure and cut with a saw.

shawn_sticking_weir fadedWhen we got flow in the ditch, there was too much flow to use the 1.0′ weir.  Instead, I used the full length of the board, 3.3′, to measure the flow.  Here I am sticking the weir to get an accurate depth.

I turned over the same 06_1_Ft_Orificeweir board to make an orifice of 0.3′ x 1.0′, or 0.3 square feet.  That’s an area not in the tables of the Water
Measurement Manual, so I had to use the equation for a contracted, submerged, rectangular orifice.

This is a submerged orifice – you can’t see the 0.75 square-foot hole because it is underneath the waterOrifice_Side_Top_2.  There are two staff gages, one on the upstream side, and one on the downstream side.  The difference between the depths shown on the staff gages gives the head.  In this photo the head differential is 0.10′, less than the acceptable 0.20′ or higher.  We’ll go ahead and read the flow from Table A9-2 above, 1.16 cfs.

A square or rectangular headgate makes a great rectangular submerged orifice, with bottom and side contractions suppressed (photo on left).  Table A9-3 is used to read the flow for this type of submerged orifice.  Weir boards can also be used this way, so the orifice iAdjusting_gate_orifices on the bottom instead of somewhere in the middle of the stack of boards.  I don’t use boards this way because it makes more work – all the boards have to be removed to reconfigure the orifice back to a weir instead of just one or two.

That’s all for now, and may all your flow measurements be accurate!  Please leave a comment below, on flow measurement devices or anything else:

Abd al-Hamid al-Ansari

Contemporary religious discourse manifests itself in three arenas: the educational, propagatory, and legally prescriptive (fatwā) fields. In each of its faces (politically ideologized conservative traditional – violent radical – centrist moderate), and in its audio-visual and textual media it is in crisis and stands at odds with the situation in contemporary societies.

While the Qur’ān portrayed the Islamic nation as one that calls to charitableness, tolerance, love, harmony, mercy and justice for all mankind, present-day religious discourse fails to realize these aims and purposes of Islam. It has failed to present a positive discourse that is reconciled with the spirit of the age and its demands and which can express the true essence of Islam. The ills and ailments of contemporary religious discourse are many, and specialists have diagnosed these over many years in a number of studies, articles and symposia on the theme of the ‘revival of religious discourse.’ This has particularly been the case after the events of September 11th, events which present the most conspicuous evidence of the failure of religious discourse, and the sum of its tragedies.

The reach of proselytisers and their authority is increasing every day

There is no room to enumerate the ills of religious discourse at all its forms and levels, but it is nevertheless important that we clarify here that these ills are not confined to any stagnation in methodologies, conceptions and external aspects, or any negative exploitation of new technologies such as irritating loud hailers or radical websites, or extremist tapes and provocative satellite programmes. Rather these ills embrace the very infrastructure of religious discourse, its content, its components and its purpose. Its greatest flaw is not merely one of form associated with an imperfect exploitation of modern technology to serve Islam and improve its image, but is an inherent flaw, a deep structural weakness. Nor is this weakness one of potential, or resources or support, nor of any weakness in its application or its influence at the level of preachers, proselytisers or prominent religious figures. Indeed the opposite is the case.

The capacities, the sources and budgets of religious institutions at their various levels are vast and immense, and the reach of proselytisers and the extension of their authority is increasing in the field every day thanks to mosque pulpits, satellite channels and all manner of social programmes. In the month of Ramadan religious discourse dominates the field without a rival. What is important here, and to allay the doubts and suspicions harboured concerning the up-and-coming preachers of renewal, is to stress that calls for reform of the religious discourse are not intending to contradict or touch upon unchangeable religious verities, but focus on the discourses of preachers, sermonizers, muftis and scholars, as they are broadcast and published. This is because these constitute ‘human interpretation’ of the sacred religious texts, carried out in a contemporary social environment, and contributing overtly to the formation of the Muslim’s conscience. They govern his behaviour and contribute to constructing his thoughts, his perceptions and his view of others, whether with respect to his own society (its citizens and residents) or the ruling political order in his country, or other, non-Muslim, peoples or with respect to contemporary culture in a general sense.

In addition to that, there is a renewed basic old demand, which has no connection to what the religious leadership haunted by conspiratorial fears puts out with the aim of tarnishing the reputation and standing of the preachers of reform and poisoning the intellectual arena, that the renewal of religious discourse is being dictated by the West and by America. According to these, the reform seeks to cancel out the verses of jihad and westernize or obliterate our religious identity, out of some lingering malevolent Crusaderism against Islam and the Muslims, so that Muslims turn into loyal followers of the West and even become their carriers. This is what some of the religious leadership in the Gulf are saying from their mosque pulpits!

The renewal of the religious discourse is vital if we wish to rise above backwardness

These are specious claims to which we may give no credence or pay attention, for they stem from a miserable, seditious mentality that seeks to perpetuate this sick situation of the discourse. Their aim is to prolong their guardianship over society, safeguard their own interests by playing upon the public’s religious emotions, impose their domination over the arena and expel the preachers of renewal and reform, by accusing them and stigmatizing them as merely serving the schemes of foreigners.

The renewal of the religious discourse is always a legitimate demand, it is a vital issue for our societies and an urgent necessity if we wish to rise above the abyss of backwardness. And we have in Islam that God sends to this people one who renews its religion, and in the Qur’ān that God does not change the condition of a people until such time as they change what is in themselves. Change begins with a change in mindset and conception, in behaviour and attitudes. Our civilization only arose and extended its sway when it possessed an open and self-renewing mindset. When renewal came to an end the Islamic mind was enveloped for a millennium in rust. The need is even more urgent now to reactivate energies toward a mindset and a discourse that is opened to the present age, so that we become able to face its challenges and participate in its achievement and inventions, so that Muslims are fit to bear the ethical and religious responsibilities towards their faith and their age, their societies and their future generations.

Why, then, should the religious discourse be reformed? There are many imperatives standing behind its renewal, the most notable of which is that the discourse, as it currently obtains, has failed to achieve its basic objectives and tasks, the most important of which are:

1-The ‘immunization’ objective: Religious discourse, despite the large number of resources at its disposal, the extended domination for over half a century over curricula and pulpits and all the cultural lynch-pins of society and its activities, has failed to shield its youth and immunize them against the illness of extremism or the virus of the terrorist mindset which have invaded their hearts and minds and turned them into instruments of killing, explosions and destruction.

Fantasies of a lingering malevolent Crusaderism

2-The development objective: Religion is a tremendous force capable of channelling the energies of Muslims to build and produce, and to dedicate themselves sincerely to their work and their development and to the accumulation of scientific knowledge and expertise, on the understanding that these constitute a ‘jihad in God’s path’.

But the prevailing religious discourse has been unable to deploy the energies of Muslims in the arena of cultural competition, and has instead diverted these energies towards destruction and demolition under the slogans of ‘jihad’ and ‘martyrdom’. The result has been the ensnaring of thousands of young people in nihilistic projects that drain the energies and resources of Islamic societies. It is hardly surprising that we find that the basic discourse of all the politico-religious organizations contain no programmes or projects for construction or growth, such that would answer to the aspirations of the public for a better tomorrow.

Instead we encounter an inflammatory, accusatory discourse, one that is vengeful against modernity and contemporary society and the political order, and negatively sceptical of everything. A Muslim going to the mosque to fulfil the duty of prayer encounters an angry rasping sermon calling down fire and brimstone upon others, so that he exits the mosque all the more tense and frustrated at the status quo, primed to get himself caught up in infernal terrorist networks!

3-The propagatory objective: The religious discourse has failed in one of its most important functions, and that is to present to the contemporary world a civilized image of Islam. Instead it has presented an offensive image of Muslims, so that the whole world views them with apprehension. And to add insult to injury, the religious discourse in non-Muslim countries has imported its disease with it, adding to the expatriate Muslims’ burdens and wretchedness.

4-The unity objective: Religious discourse has proved unable to cure disunion and has only increased the division of Muslims into factions and sects, as a result of the claims of each faction that they alone possess absolute truth and constitute the ‘Saved Sect’ to whom alone paradise is promised to the exclusion of all others. The religious discourse has become an operative factor in the aggravation and consecration of disunity, in the fostering of factional rancour and in the feeding of political conflict.

It is true that the responsibility for the failure does not solely lie on the shoulders of the religious intelligentsia and their discourse, since it is a responsibility shared by the Arab intelligentsia and their discourse as well, as was demonstrated by the Asīla Symposium[1]. But the responsibility of the religious intelligentsia is by far the greater.

[1] The Asīla Symposium is an annual conference held in the Moroccan coastal city of Asīla, and which specializes in issues related to cultural relations. The most recent conference focused on ‘the shrinking rôle of the intelligentsia in Arab reform movements’ and warned against ‘the dangers of an intelligentsia of religious fragmentation.’ (Ed.)

Dogpool Lane – Birmingham

We would love to hear your views on this new scheme, the consultation website is now live

The Dogpool Lane site at the junction of Dogpool Lane and Pershore Road in Selly Park is well located to meet the needs of students at a number of the universities in Birmingham and in particular those studying at the University of Birmingham (UoB). The journey to the UoB (southern gate) is around mile away and takes under 15 minutes on foot and around 8 minutes by bicycle. The journey to the centre of the UoB campus takes 22 minutes on foot and 10 minutes by bicycle.

The gap in the number of bedspaces between those in need of accommodation (excluding those living at home) and the current total provision is 25,000.

Dogpool Lane would be ideal for student not just attending University of Birmingham. The new state of the art accommodation could cater for students at Aston University, University College Birmingham and Birmingham City university. Quickest routes to those in central Birmingham is either by bus or by bicycle.

The site is within easy access of the City Centre and its core amenities. Bournville and Selly Oak Railway Stations are both around a mile away and Birmingham New Street station is under half an hour away by bus or bicycle.

There are a number of local shops and services in the area immediately surrounding the Dogpool Lane site. These include the Ten Acre Street Post Office, a convenience store, take-away and a café. A little further to the south along the Pershore Road is a local centre at the junction of Ribblesdale Road with an off-licence and convenience store, a hair and beauty salon and an Indian Restaurant and take-away. Ten minutes’ walk away is the village of Stirchley which offers a full range of services which include a Co-operative supermarket, a snooker hall, a number of pubs, a bicycle repair shop and a swimming pool.

Critical Judgment – by Michael Palmer (1996)

Author Michael Palmer was himself an emergency room doctor, before switching to a writing career. He wrote fiction based around what he knew best: medicine and hospitals. “Critical Judgment” is Mr. Palmer’s seventh novel. In it, Dr. Abby Dolan has just started her new job at a small California hospital north of San Francisco. At first she is nervous about the amount of responsibility she has been given in the emergency department. But before long, the nervousness is replaced by a concern about the high number of patients that have been showing up with unexplained symptoms: blinding headaches, confusion, skin ailments, and personality changes.

Time In A Bottle

Memory is a double-sided gift. It gives me the ability to hold on to the special moments in life, as Jim Croce sang about in “Time In A Bottle”. Like the memory of being four years old, and playing on the floor with my newly-adopted sister and brother. The first time I met my husband. The moment I held my sons in my arms for the first time. Watching the kids graduate from high school. Laughing and playing games with the cousins. Seeing “Star Wars” on the big screen back in 1978. Yeah, these memories are keepers!

But on the other side, there are the memories that I really want to forget, ones that play over and over in my head like a horror movie.  Like two years ago today, when our son  died and then was brought back. I remember watching him in the ICU on life support. I remember the groans of pain that I could do nothing to alleviate. I remember the slivers of glass and dried blood flakes that slowly worked their way out onto the pillowcase over many days. I remember the therapists trying to get our son’s legs working again as he struggled with nausea and excruciating pain. And yes, I remember that wicked fixator device that he had for almost two months to hold the bones in place.

But as I think more about that day in 2016, it brings to mind other memories. The family friend that came out to the hospital in the middle of the night to sit with us as life and death fought each other. The dozens of soap-makers from an international blog site who sent word that they were praying. Friends that came by to encourage us and pray. The Sunday School class that sent over a care-box of things to do. The crafty friend who brought over a couple looms and an entire bag of fabric loops to make potholders with (the cure for fidgety hands). The trauma doctors who kept tiptoeing into the room during the first week, wanting to see the young man that by all logic should not be alive. Then there were the nurses. I remember the gentleness of seven nurses changing our son’s bed-sheets, a difficult task with someone whose body was broken and damaged in so many places.

It’s been a rough two years for our son, and for all of us. Doctors’ visits and physical therapy are ongoing. There may never be total recovery, but we are getting used to a new “normal”. If you have a body that works perfectly fine, and you have no pain or physical ailments, thank God! All it takes is one unexpected event, one second in time, to take life in a totally different direction. We carry memories of both the joyous and the terrible times. But through it all, Jesus has walked with us, and that is something to remember always.

Note: See this post to better understand what happened to our son:

California Drought and Water Quality

Screen Shot 2015-10-05 at 8.09.18 AM

The drought has many people in California realizing the serious need for clean and available drinking water.  Recently, it seems as though there has been, in some cases, double the amount of sediment and/or particles in tap water.  In my home, the tap water smells like chlorine.  More well water sources are being tapped by the agricultural industry, and no one is sure if, or when, things will get better.  I wanted to know how to get better water.  I also wanted to know a little about how to make water I might find in the future safe to drink.  These are some options I found and I hope the info will be useful to you as well.

ZeroWater – Along with the filter system, you’re given a water impurity tester as well.  Until I found Zero Water, I was totally unaware of the amount of impurities in my water.  The water filter works great, but I didn’t want to stop there.

Store Bought Water – I tried some store bought water and used my impurity tester that came with the ZeroWater system.  The cheapest water I found had zero impurities.  The better tasting one had a few impurities, but I believe some minerals are good for you and that might be why it tasted a little better.  This is good news for me and better news for my wallet but I had a feeling I could get more long term yield for my efforts.

Filtering water  I don’t know about you, but I don’t know how long I can afford all the filters and bottled water at the store.  I’m looking at alternative filters that last a while longer.  Some filters can even filter out the fluoride!   Check out Wranglestar‘s YouTube video, where he talks about his experience with one.  I also have a couple links to one at my store.

Screen Shot 2015-10-05 at 8.26.25 AM

Bacteria free water – If your water is coming from other sources, be aware that simply filtering your water isn’t enough.  There are organisms that you can’t see that will kill you.

As I’m finishing this I’m reminded of a verse in the bible…

Matthew 6:32 – …For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Be safe.  Use wisdom.  God bless.

Terrified to Write

Terrified to Write

Yes, I decided to do two posts in a single day. I was originally going to have this post with my most recent one, but I realized the post would have been too long, and the two topics were too varied. So if you haven’t read the last post, I am still having issues with hypomania. Usually you’re pretty confident when you’re in this state, but, as I’ve said, I’m just irritable/rage-filled. And now that I’m cognizant I am in this mode, I am terrified to write.

When I was severely manic in December of 2012, I wrote 15,000 words in one day, thinking it was the best stuff ever. When I came down from the episode, I realized it was completely awful. I couldn’t believe how delusional I was to write all that crap and think it was going to be worth anything. Now I didn’t care about being manic then. It was so much better than being depressed, so of course I was going to welcome it. I didn’t care how crazy it made me. I. Just. Felt. Good. When you are depressed, you will do anything to feel good, and for those with bipolar disorder, mania is one of those things.

But when I am in a stable place and I become hypomanic or manic, I don’t want to be in that place, because I felt fine before. My judgment was sound, I could concentrate, my brain was all there. I’m not depressed; therefore, I do not want this episode. It’s not that I’m worried about crashing from it, either, because I doubt I’m going to fall into depression. It’s that my concentration and judgment are shot, and I’m having a difficult time regulating my emotional responses to things I perceive as negative. Or trying not to be anxious or angry for no reason.

But I am terrified to write. I’m so afraid that everything I write is going to come from a place of instability. I know that a lot of people say mania makes them more productive, but when it comes to writing, for most manic people (from what I’ve researched) who are writers, the mania actually does skew their ability to write–and often not in a good way. I am afraid to touch my most recent novel, to even outline it, even though I REALLY want to. It’s my third revision (because I’ve changed the genre of the book). I just don’t want to touch it. I don’t want to break it. I don’t want to come down from this episode, look at what I’ve written, and hate it so much that I want to start over. I’m already on chapter four, and while I did begin this book in the midst of the episode, I don’t want to continue, not until I’m stable again. Sure, I might look at it again and not hate it, but I’m scared to take that risk right now.

I really am.

I’m having difficulties concentrating, and I’m scared these difficulties could be messing up my writing. I’ve been having issues with trying to find words I should know (so I’ve been referring to everything as thingy), and I can’t talk for long without stopping because my mind is moving faster than my mouth. When I talk, though, you wouldn’t think that because I don’t have rapid speech, but my mind is still on a fast train.

  1. Hey Amber,

    Thank you again for being brave enough to share. Not being able to work on a project you’re really excited about is rough. Sharing the experience helps. I find free writing or brainstorming something like future blog posts is often easier for me when I’m not sleeping well/feeling grouchy. I tend to do these things by hand and I find the movement relaxing. Maybe it can help ease your mind over the next few days.

    I hope you manage to enjoy your weekend in spite of all this. My thoughts will be with you, and internet hugs are here if you want them.

  2. I understand the fear of pushing through and just writing anyway because you’re afraid it will be all for naught. As Dianna said, maybe some free writing, something that gives you freedom to write but without it being sewn into the novel, will help you to if not overcome the fear at least overpower it and continue growing as a writer as a result.

Guest Blogger Victoria Perkins

Hello everyone! Victoria Perkins will be guest blogging for me today, doing a piece about her book, The Dragon Three.

Hero stories are full of people with extraordinary gifts who are generally thought to be abnormal and are often outcasts. Then we have the people who believe themselves to be ordinary, but who actually have great powers that just need to be activated. These people rise to the occasion to use their gifts to save the day. While I love these stories, I had an idea for something different.

The Dragon Three started off as a simple concept. At least, it was simple in my head. There’s this world where everyone has magic except one girl. She’s been born different, a freak who can’t do even the simplest spells. Her parents hide this from everyone, including their other children, and teach her at home, keeping her isolated to protect her. Then, when she turns fifteen, she’s sent off to an institute of higher learning, somewhere her parents can’t protect her. And that’s where the story of Brina Fine begins.

Naturally, the next question became, what if she goes to school prepared to be found out and sent home in disgrace, but through a fluke, is able to stay, undetected, long enough to make friends? I gave Brina these friends and realized that her story wasn’t supposed to be about someone who’s different keeping her secret and living a ‘normal’ life. She had been born that way for a reason. Enter the dragon.

I’d originally envisioned Brina’s story to only be the first section, Dragon Eyes, and then thought about making two sequels, Dragon Blood and Dragon Heart, focusing on her two friends respectively. The more I wrote, however, the more I realized that I wanted to put all three together. In doing that, the idea of a ‘normal’ person in a fantastical world was no longer the entire book and I had to delve deeper into the characters to find what made them into this trio I was calling The Dragon Three.

Finally, I discovered that it wasn’t magic or the lack thereof that made them heroes. Each of these three were charged with a task that only they could accomplish, and it was the acceptance of their tasks, without knowing for certain if they would come out alive, that made them heroes. The journey of the hero isn’t about the feats or the obstacles overcome, but the willingness to do what is right, no matter the cost.

You can buy her book on Amazon.

What’s a Frivolous Lawsuit?

What's a Frivolous Lawsuit?

A large number of personal injury lawsuits filed involve legitimate claims. Those cases are the outcome of honest disagreements. But on the other side, a handful of lawsuits are patently baseless. Technically we call these cases Frivolous lawsuits. A frivolous suit is a kind of lawsuit without any legal merit. In some cases, a few individuals or companies file lawsuits to harass, annoy, or disturb the defendants and opposite parties. It could be defined as any lawsuit where the plaintiff knows that it is almost little or no chance of the lawsuit succeeding if pursued in court.

In most cases, there are two purposes for filing frivolous lawsuits. The first one is to harass the defendant. In a few cases, the intentions are to generate media attention.

Being sued is incredibly frustrating for anyone. Even if the case is baseless, the defendant has to expend time, energy, and money to have the case dismissed. And there is something more. The defendant’s reputation might be corroded. Are you wondering how can that happen? If people hear about the lawsuit against him or her they may think negatively about them. They might assume the allegation is legitimate. For these reasons, frivolous lawsuits are often used by plaintiffs as a way to harass others. In some other cases, lawsuits are a means of generating media attention. Generally, there are advocates who file such lawsuits to generate buzz and bring attention to an issue.

Real-life Examples of Frivolous Lawsuits

Overton v. Anheuser-Busch Co., Michigan Court of Appeals (1993)

In the year 1993, Richard Overton arraigned Anheuser-Busch for false advertising. He drank a 6-pack of Bud Light. But the beer failed to create visions of beautiful women on a beach. That’s what he saw in the advertisement. Richard sought nearly $10,000 in damages. He claimed Bud Light’s deceptive marketing caused him emotional distress. The trial court rejected the frivolous lawsuit.

Rosenberg v. Google Co., Utah District Court (2009)

In the year 2009, Lauren Rosenberg sued Google for nearly $100,000. She claimed that Google Maps advised her to walk along a freeway to reach her destination. While following the direction, a car hit Rosenberg. In her petition, Rosenberg mentioned the direction advised by Google Maps was not only wrong but also dangerous. The district court granted Google’s motion to dismiss the frivolous lawsuit.

Pearson v. Chung, Superior Court of the District of Columbia (2005)

Roy Pearson took two pairs of pants to a dry cleaner for alterations. The cleaner mistakenly sent the pants to the wrong location. The pants were recovered quickly. It was then returned to the owner. But Pearson claimed the pants didn’t belong to him. He sued the owners of the dry cleaner for $67 million. It was even more bizarre because Pearson was an administrative law judge at the time of the case. The superior court judge ruled in favor of the dry cleaner.

Now, let’s take the most famous example of a “frivolous lawsuit.” The interesting part here is that this case was not frivolous at all. For instance, look at the case below.

The 1994 McDonald’s hot coffee lawsuit

It is this case that had given rise to a lot of attacks or criticisms towards ‘frivolous lawsuits’ in the United States. The widely-known product liability case of Liebeck v. McDonald’s Restaurants took place in 1994. A 74-year-old Stella Liebeck had sued McDonald’s after spilling a cup of takeaway hot coffee in her lap. For people who did not hear anything more about the case, they chalked the lawsuit up as another example of out-of-control litigation. The most typical reactions were that coffee is normally served hot and that it was not the fault of the restaurant that she had spilled it on her lap and that she was driving then.

There was a lot more to the case. Stella shad sustained incredibly gruesome third-degree burns on her legs, lap, and groin. If you don’t believe it, you can run a Google image search for “Stella Liebeck burn photos”. Her injuries were anything but frivolous. The coffee had burnt her skin in seconds. Not only that, she was neither driving nor careless while spilling it. Rather the coffee was not only just hot but dangerously hot that could have led to such accidents.

Also, it has to be borne in mind that this incident with the McDonald was not one case in point. McDonald’s had already received over 700 complaints about their scalding hot coffee before this particular occasion, but they decided to continue serving their coffee more than 40 degrees higher than most restaurants. Originally, Liebeck sought $20,000 in damages. McDonald’s refused to settle out of court. Ultimately, the jury awarded Stella $2.7 million in damages. Both McDonalds and Liebeck too reached an out of court settlement to rest the matter.

What Does it Mean?

A frivolous lawsuit means when a person files a false product liability claim against a company. This can cause a tremendous amount of waste for the company costing their reputation as well. The company then has to conduct its investigations into the claim and report their findings in the court. The reasons behind filing frivolous lawsuits are often petty and hence it becomes difficult at times to distinguish between authentic claims and those triggered by personal motivations.

There are lawsuits filed simply for instances such as the person being unsatisfied with a product, or a person holding a personal grudge against a particular person/another citizen or any particular company. Another reason why frivolous lawsuits may be filed is to delay another case of legal proceeding. For instance, some real estate actions cannot proceed if that person is involved in a lawsuit at the time. Thus, the person might file a frivolous lawsuit simply to delay the upcoming real estate proceeding. Other common frivolous lawsuits include harassment lawsuits and false sexual harassment claims.

How do I understand whether my Lawsuit is Frivolous?

A frivolous lawsuit normally is a claim, suit, motion, or appeal that lacks a legal basis or a basis on the merits. Many times, frivolous lawsuits are used by attorneys to delay an outcome, harass, or to embarrass the opposing party. Typically, courts find that a claim or defense is frivolous when it conflicts with a judicially noticeable fact or it seems logically impossible.

The Supreme Court has defined what a frivolous lawsuit is. The court said in the Denton v. Hernandez that a frivolous case means that the claim is either irrational or meritless. The Court mentioned that judges should be conservative when punishing lawyers for frivolous claims, as it may have a chilling effect on creative lawyering and new ways to solve legal issues. The Court held that some allegations may be “strange but true,” and hence, dismissals of frivolous litigation should be used moderately.

What are the consequences of filing a frivolous lawsuit? Are there any?

There are consequences of filing frivolous cases. One of the reasons being that most courts are overwhelmed by millions of legitimate lawsuits. This is why judges find it particularly frustrating when a frivolous lawsuit is filed. Fortunately, judges have the authority to sanction lawyers and fine complainants who file frivolous lawsuits. What’s more, a defendant in a frivolous lawsuit can turn around and sue the plaintiff for malicious prosecution. A claim for malicious prosecution is a tort action. And the damages include the costs of having to defend against the baseless lawsuit.

How should I Hire a Lawyer for Help with Frivolous Lawsuit Issues?

This is important for any establishment to be aware of. If you believe that someone has filed a frivolous lawsuit against you, you definitely should hire a qualified personal injury lawyer for advice and representation. Your attorney should be well qualified to defend you and should have the experience to be able to identify whether a claim is frivolous. The person should be able to guide you on how to respond to such a claim.

In case, there’s no option other than to move forward with further legal action, your attorney can represent you in court. So choose and hire your lawyer after examining carefully his or her records, experiences, and fame to zero down on someone particular, who can represent you well in a court of law.

MEDIA SNOWFLAKE Worried About Police Overreach After London Attacks (VIDEO)

Even though we know the liberal media is biased against common sense, sometimes it’s still stunning to see how far from reality they actually live. This crazy MSNBC commentator tried to suggest that police may be too heavy handed in putting a stop to terrorists after the most recent London attack.

Newsbusters reported this:

MSNBC’s Richard Lui appears to be testing the limits of irresponsible media coverage of terrorist incidents. Up until now, the press has fretted in the aftermath of such attacks about possible retaliations or “backlash” against Muslims or others not involved in them, even though such misguided revenge-seeking has rarely occurred. Saturday evening, Lui worried about police “overreacting” shortly after terror attacks in London which, as of the time of this post, had taken the lives of seven innocents and injured 48 others, including 21 critically.

All of the carnage and mayhem which had just occurred didn’t stop Lui from wondering, concerning post-attack attempts to restore order, whether “there’s a risk of overreaction, of deploying … too much force.”

Here’s the video. You won’t believe it:

Transcript (first 1:03 of video segment):

RICHARD LUI: When you have analyzed these incidents post facto as well as during, as you have so many times with me and others here on MSNBC and NBC News, what is the risk — there’s certainly a risk of underreaction — but is there any risk of overreaction, of deploying too much? You know, as we’ve been watching all of this live coming into our satellite center here in New York City, and then beaming it out from London, is there ever a point where you go, “Well, that’s too much, or you shouldn’t be applying that amount of force there”?

JIM CAVANAUGH, NBC NEWS LAW ENFORCEMENT ANALYST: Well, you know, in the city, the experience and the attacks, when there’s multiple attacks, really I don’t think the response could be too large, to get enough officers and investigators there to quickly quell and then find out what’s going on.

It’s not a question of too many officers. It’s a question of using them adequately, smartly, getting all the help you can get.

Even more shocking is that this guy holds employment at a national media outlet. Even for a lefty, he’s pretty out there.
