but than there is always this
Plastic Salad Bowl by Green Direct - 24 oz Disposable Clear Mixing Bowl set with lid for chopped - iced - or fruit salad; Meal Prep - Lunch - To Go - Traveling & home use - Pack of 50 ($17.95)


This is exactly what I'm looking for. 24oz is a bit small but the 32oz is great. $18.29 for 50 comes out to $.36/piece. Was hoping a bit cheaper buy if I can't find on next trip to Co-op, I'll splurge!
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Or donate to his legal fees at pidyonshvuyim.com

I am very familiar with his case and I just want to say one thing. People tend to assume based on the fact that he was indicted that he must have done something wrong. That assumption should not be made. Rabbi Eisemann did not do anything wrong, not even a minor infraction. The state is prosecuting him on completely baseless claims, without ever having done a thorough investigation into his finances.

I'll point out two illustration of this (there are more...)

The lead witness for the prosecution was the detective that did the entire investigation. Under cross-examination, he admitted that he only looked at one of the school's bank accounts, even though he conceded that if there were money in other accounts to back up the transactions, there would have not been a crime. Even so, he did not feel it important to check the cash flow of the school's other accounts.

Another illustration. Two witnesses who worked for the state's education department, one brought by the State and one brought by the defense, each gave conflicting testimony as to what is allowable uses for government funds. According to the defense's witness, who was the Deputy Commissioner of Education at the time of the alleged crimes, the transactions made were completely legal, even if there was no money to back them up. So basically, the State is prosecuting him on something that is a debate if it is even a crime! Shouldn't the State first have to clarify that the alleged transactions are indeed a violation of the code before they prosecute someone for making them?

This point is accentuated by the fact that the jury is told of the "good faith" clause, that if the defendant made an honest mistake or was misinformed, they should rule non-guilty even if an actual crime was committed. How can something that the Deputy Commissioner of Education testified as being legal be considered anything less than "misinformed" at its worst.

There are two places to find latest updates, as far as I know.

The Asbury Park Press reporter is on scene tweeting live, although she tends to have a very skewed commentary and does selective reporting. https://twitter.com/sbarchenger

The best place is probably here. https://greaterlakewood.com/jury-deliberations-underway-r-eisemann-trial/ They update more often, and generally include APP tweets as well.

"Between his faith in God and his faith in himself and ultimately his faith in the jury, he's truly been the most remarkable client I’ve ever had and probably ever will have," Vartan said. "He’s never had a bad day, or a down day at any point throughout the previous two years of working on this case. I think it comes from his unshakable faith."
