Back to the subject at hand. When I was younger, I never appreciated her art, but as I got older and then saw the film with Salma Hayek, I became a huge fan of Ms. Frida. The colors, the brilliance, the way she lived her life in that "I do not give a rats' ass" way and how she saw life was fascinating. Her difficulties were plenty and yet, she produced things regardless. Sometimes I wish I had that stubborn streak. "I will write though I have laundry, a baby, need to shower, exercise, and many other errands. I will fit it in from 1:22pm to 1:38pm and no one will stop me!"
This is subdued for Frida, but it is one of my favorite paintings that she has done.
Okay, on a side note, I actually dressed up as her one Halloween. I had a bright turquoise skirt with beading and a peasant blouse, my hair up in the braid. I even drew in the unibrow. If I can find a picture I will post it.

I would love to look like this all the time, but at the present, could not really carry it off. File it under "One Day".

There are multiple morphs of red-tailed hawks. This image shows a bird of the western subspecies. Compared to eastern birds, western birds have greater color variation. The pale, streaked belly is characteristic of the most common morph. Except for the red tail, rufous morph birds have a reddish-brown chest and a dark brown belly.

The aim of this research is to design a multilevel model of managerial factors affecting the sports clubs of the players in the Premier Basketball League. The research method is mixed (qualitative-quantitative). 142 basketball players in 13 Premier League teams along with their technical staff and 19 basketball experts were selected as a sample to identify the management factors affecting basketball clubs and present the ISM model. The desired factors were identified by meta-combination method and relationship between them were determined using structural-interpretive modeling. Data analysis was performed using exploratory factor analysis and Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) by MICMAC method. The results showed that the factors affecting the player-rearing clubs include 35 elements and 7 general components which explain 62% of the variance of factors affecting the player-rearing clubs. According to MICMAC structural analysis, the club's desire for rearing player and its ability to attract more capital have been influenced by other factors and they are influenced and dependent elements from a systemic point of view. The factors of club branding and environmental interaction are in the category of independent variables that have low influence and dependency. Government strategies, infrastructures and equipment are key barriers for player-rearing clubs with high influence and low dependency. Based on the results, the seven components that can enhance the success of the club by emphasizing the process of identifying, talenting and training players, in a systemic approach, form a system in which components affect and support each other.

Autism is a very serious topic. Just not tonight.
Nikki Osborne is an Australian actress, and a regular on comedy panels on Australian television. A mother to a child with autism, she also spends her time blogging and campaigning for autism awareness. Her belief is that sentiment being ‘it’s not just okay to be different, it’s f*%king refreshing’.
Recently, Nikki staged a one-woman show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival called On the Spectrum. Funny and intimate, the show is told from her point of view as a parent to a five-year old son with high-functioning autism.
Controversy blew up when Melbourne residents called for the show to be cancelled in advance of its debut, the subject deemed offensive to people with disabilities. Nikki insisted her intentions were honourable: she wished to break the silence around an important issue, particularly for other parents undergoing the same challenges as she has, and to bring them some light relief.

For Sheena Marshall, designing jewelry is a form of storytelling. Her sustainable jewelry brand, Sheena Marshall Jewelry, champions the intricacies of metalsmithing and creates hand-crafted pieces that carry a story. Her slow and sustainable jewelry-making processes are performed in her Denver studio, where her timeless designs have gained notoriety in the fashion community.
“There is an indescribable calmness that comes from slowing down and working with my hands,” Marshall said. “For me, it’s a time to create space for slowness in a world of constant stimulation.”
Handcrafted With Intention
Marshall has always felt drawn to working with her hands. After the birth of her oldest daughter, she found it creatively stimulating and therapeutic to metalsmith during postpartum. Eventually, she showed her work at markets and became deeply inspired by and intertwined with other local makers and small businesses in Denver.
As a small business owner, Marshall takes on multiple responsibilities. Some days she goes into her studio to work at the bench all day, sawing and soldering materials. On other days she’s writing handwritten notes to each customer before shipping out packages.
Each of Marshall’s artfully handcrafted pieces is inspired by paintings, architecture and textiles that are minimalistic. She always keeps a sketchbook on hand in case she experiences a burst of creativity and develops a design idea.
“Some days I feel very inspired and spend all day in my studio. Other days my mind and body are telling me to rest,” Marshall said. “I find my best work occurs when I listen to these polarizing feelings from moment to moment.”
Slow and Sustainable
As Marshall embraces a slow and mindful creative process, she approaches her business’s ethics with the same intentionality. Sheena Marshall Jewelry is a slow fashion business that designs for longevity and advocates for sustainability. The brand believes customers deserve to know how the jewelry they’re buying was fabricated from ethical and sustainable practices, which is why its website is transparent about the process.
“Minimizing waste is a crucial part of creating a more sustainable world, and we try to do just that,” Marshall said.
Every step of the production process involves conscious decisions to be sustainable. All designs are made-to-order to ensure that materials don’t go to waste. Meanwhile, any leftover scraps are recycled to be used again or get sent to the metal refinery to be put back into the metal system. Stones and metals are also responsibly-sourced, and the stones are conflict-free. Once items are purchased, Marshall ships them to customers using environmentally-friendly packaging.
“I am constantly innovating and working with our suppliers to improve,” Marshall said about her commitment to running an ethically-minded brand.
Minimalist At Heart
Marshall’s goal has always been to design simple, functional and consciously-made jewelry because that’s what she wants to see more of. Aa a true minimalist, her jewelry has empowered other women to seek simple pleasures in life and make conscious choices about the jewelry they choose to wear.
“My favorite is when repeat customers stop by to say hello and tell me how they feel while wearing Sheena Marshall,” Marshall said.
The Moab Arch Earrings and Poppy Earrings have always reigned as a favorite among customers. As with the rest of her pieces, their appeal lies in their simplicity and subtlety. With an upcoming solid gold collection launching soon, Marshall will reveal more of her goldsmithing talent through delicate designs.
Though the collection will be launched on the Sheena Marshall Jewelry website, the products can be experienced in person at Horseshoe Holiday Market, Junior League Holiday Mart and other pop-ups that are to be announced.
“The opportunity to meet my customers and other makers makes me feel a great sense of connection to the community,” Marshall said. “It’s a special feeling being able to describe my designs and the thought process behind each piece.”

Is Donald Trump going to run America on Twitter?
By Sounak Mukhopadhyay
Donald Trump is going to be different from all other presidents America has seen so far. One of the practices that make him stand out is the way he uses his Twitter account.
The American population believes the president-elect uses the microblogging website a bit way too much. This may surprise Trump who is known for using Twitter to express his take on almost everything around.
He has been using it for years now. He uses it to appreciate the things he likes and criticize the things he does not. However, a new Morning Consult/POLITICO poll suggests that most voters find him spending a lot of time on the social network.
According to 56 percent people, Donald Trump is "too much" on Twitter. On the other hand, 16 percent people believe he uses it appropriately. Interestingly, there are some (5 percent) who believe the president-elect does not use Twitter enough.
The above-mentioned figures are about all voters. Trump voters, however, do not believe he uses the social network a lot. Only 37 percent Trump voters believe he posts on Twitter "too much," while 42 percent Republican voters believe the same.
Politico notes that people's negative thoughts about Trump are more intense. While 23 percent people call Trump's Twitter practices a "good thing," 49 percent people believe it is a "bad thing."
Trump's Twitter practices find more critics among Democrats and independents. The poll finds 48 percent independents and 75 percent Democrats who think Donald Trump tweets a lot.
On a different note, when asked what they think of Barack Obama as the president, 52 percent people approved of it. On Trump, 55 percent people believe he will fulfill the promises he has made during the campaign. The poll results also reveal 42 percent people believe Trump is going to impose a temporary ban on Muslim immigration.

Multimedia and Encrypted DVD Playback: Mozilla Firefox 3.0.3 is the only Internet browser installed on Foresight, and by default, comes with the necessary plugin to handle flash content on Web pages. For other types of multimedia content, you are left to search for and install the plugins yourself.
Totem, the movie player, lacks the necessary plugins to playback commercial or encrypted DVD videos, and will throw the error shown in the screenshot below if you launch it and try to play a commercial video DVD.
To enjoy your DVD videos on Foresight, you will have to launch a terminal application (Applications Menu > Accessories > Terminal), and type in the following command:
sudo conary update gst-plugins-ugly
afterwards, you can play any commercial video DVD on Foresight.
Security and Network Manager: The Linux kernel has a built-in, enterprise-grade firewall application, but not all Linux distro ship with a graphical firewall client to configure it. Foresight is one of them. Unless you love working with IPTables from the command line, you will have to use Conary to install a graphical firewall client.
From the Network Manager applet, you could create virtual private network (VPN) connections using OpenVPN, Cisco vpnc clients, or via PPTP.
What’s Special About Foresight: Aside from its use of the Conary package manager, and its support for LVM and software RAID configuration, Foresight has no other feature that sets it apart from other Linux (or BSD distros).
What Needs to Improve:
- The Anaconda installer used by Foresight needs to be updated to provide support for the creation of encrypted partitions and LVM volumes. Distros like Fedora that use Anaconda have had this feature for quite some time
- Out of the box, we expect Firefox or any other Internet browser installed to have the plugins needed to render multimedia content other than flash
- Since the plugin needed by Totem to playback encrypted video DVDs is in the repository, why not install it by default?
- We know that a gui frontend to Conary is already in the works, and it is one of the features that we are looking forward to in the next major release of Foresight
- Foresight needs a “Control Center”, similar to what Mint is trying to implement, and what’s already a standard feature of Mandriva
- We expect a graphical firewall client to be installed by default on all Linux and BSD distributions
- I have never understood why some Linux distros are using sudo instead of the traditional root user account for access to admin rights. I honestly do not see any advantage to it, and I just hope that Foresight will revert to using the root account
Foresight is a good distribution, and for the vast majority of (potential) users, none of the issues we identified in this review are show-stoppers. Minor configuration changes will take care of most of them.

Record crowd hits Phoenix golf
South Korean Byeong Hun An has one-stroke lead after the third round of the Phoenix Open in Arizona which attracted a golf-record crowd of 204,906 on Saturday (Sunday AEDT).
Australia's Marc Leishman remains in the hunt after a six-under 65 moved him to 11 under and five shots off the lead.
An estimated 596,780 fans have attended the event in the first six days.
With 70,000 to 90,000 expected on Sunday in perfect warm conditions, the event will shatter the overall record of 618,365 set last year.
"It was crazy," An said.
"Last couple holes, that many people around the course is insane. Sixteen, obviously, but 17 and 18, when you walk to the green, it was absolutely packed around the green, left and right of the green, everywhere."
An, who began the day one stroke ahead of world No.5 Matsuyama, moved a step closer to a breakthrough win by shooting a six-under 65 at the TPC Scottsdale.
The 25-year-old South Korean, who won the 2009 US amateur title before turning professional in 2011, piled up six birdies in a bogey-free display to post a 16-under total of 197.
Scotland's Martin Laird sank an 11-foot birdie putt at the last for a matching 65 to sit in second place, with Matsuyama (68) a further three strokes back in a four-way tie for third.

The Oregonian reported a federal judge in Portland told David Joey Pedersen that he believes its a bad idea for him to serve as his own lawyer. But he agreed after Pedersen confirmed that he understands the charges and that he could face the death penalty.
Pedersen and Holly Ann Grigsby are awaiting trial on federal charges of kidnapping, carjacking and murder. They are accused of killing a man on the Oregon coast and another man in Northern California.
Pedersen previously pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated murder for the 2011 slaying of his father and stepmother in Everett.
Authorities say the killings were part of a white supremacist scheme.

For Mushroom Risotto I take whatever mushrooms I have at hand, fresh or dried.
Fresh mushrooms I cook as follows: Chop the mushrooms into smaller pieces. Heat up a pan without any oil or butter. Place the mushrooms into the pan and let their own liquid slowly cook into the mushrooms. When dry add plenty of butter. Cook until mushrooms have got some color and season with salt, thyme and just a touch of pepper.
Dried Mushrooms: Soak dried mushrooms for at least 30 minutes until soft. Drain and reserve the mushroom water for the stock. Sauté the soaked mushrooms in butter on medium heat until done. Season w/ salt, thyme and just a touch of pepper.
To make Risotto you will need plenty of stock, I suggest you make your own vegetable or chicken stock. For rice I use arborio rice or a brown, short grain rice (excellent but takes longer time to cook).
Above you can see a flowchart of two of my favorite feeding options for Mushroom Risotto. I serve it w/ extra Parmesan and toasted walnuts… Enjoy!
If you never done a risotto I suggest you check out a basic recipe such as this one before you start.

Australian Open news: ‘Pretty solid’ Naomi Osaka reflects on first-round win in ‘special’ Melbourne
Naomi Osaka made it 23 wins in her last 24 matches at the Australian Open on Monday as she kicked off her title defence with a comfortable win over Camila Osorio.
The four-time Grand Slam winner powered to a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Osorio from Colombia in one hour and eight minutes on Rod Laver Arena.
The 13th seed raced into a 5-0 lead in the opening set on the back of breaks in games two and four, but Osorio got one break back before the Japanese star served it out. Breaks in games three and nine set up the win in the second set.
— #AusOpen (@AustralianOpen) January 17, 2022
“It always feels special to come back here,” Osaka said.
She added: “I thought I played pretty well given the circumstances. Overall I’m happy to be here and see everyone in the audience.
“I like the hot conditions but when I come here everyone is warm and welcoming. I’m sure that has a positive effect on me.”
The 24-year-old is confident that she will “learn” from her dip in the opening set.
“I think I was pretty solid. I think I was up 5-0 and had a little dip, but I was fortunate enough to close it out,” she said. I think that’s something that I hope I’m not in that position in my next match. If I am, I already did it this time around, so I guess I’ll learn from it.”
Up next is Madison Brengle after the American advanced when Dayana Yastremska from the Ukraine retired with the score 6-1, 0-6, 5-0 in favour of Brengle.
Fifth seed Maria Sakkari was also a first-round winner as the Greek defeated Tatjana Maria of Germany 6-4, 7-6 (7-2) while two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka was a 6-1, 6-3 winner over Panna Udvardy from Hungary.

In my previous post on the possible airship panic of 1915, I used n-grams for 'Zeppelin' and 'rumour' derived from the British Newspaper Archive to try to work out when exactly it was. The answer was that it began in late December 1914 and finished in early February 1915. But is the answer right? Is the method useful? To test that I switched to close reading and checked whether it does indeed relate to an airship panic. The very preliminary upshot is that the principle seems sound, but its application is difficult, or at least more complicated than I've allowed -- while the signals in the data are more or less real, there are a substantial number of false positives and false negatives. There will always be some of these, due to bad OCR or just chance, but there are a couple of systematic reasons increasing the difficulties.
The first problem, an obvious one, is that a wider range of key terms is needed: 'Zeppelin' is pretty sound for this period (though occasionally 'airship' and 'dirigible' appear in its place), but 'rumour' needs to be supplemented by other terms such as 'panic', 'scare', or even a phrase like 'it is said'. And of course ostensibly sober and objective analysis of the prospects of Zeppelin raids won't get picked up by a search like mine which is looking for discussions of panic. So there are these false negatives (things I've missed) -- such as the claim in early January that Germany was planning to send ten Zeppelins to raid London at the end of the month with 'the task of crippling the British fleet, and also cause a panic', or the story that a 'huge box kite' being used to test London's anti-aircraft defences led to speculation 'as to whether [a?] Zeppelin has arrived at last'.1 The second, and less soluble, problem is that BNA isn't always very good at detecting when one article starts and another one begins. In fact, it's quite common to find a dozen or two short articles joined together. This means that BNA could (say) consider an article mentioning Zeppelin operations over France, and another discussing rumours that the Germans have mined Brussels so that they can destroy the city if forced to evacuate it, to be part of the same article.2 These are false positives.
All of that being said, how does the 1915 airship panic look in BNA? I'm not going go into exhaustive detail, but these are the most interesting results:
- 3 January: a rumour circulates in Coventry of an air raid on London, which 'appears to have originated in London, where on Sunday afternoon and evening it was erroneously gossipped that Zeppelins had been driven off in the vicinity of the metropolis'.3 This may have been the same rumour which circulated on the same day at Chelmsford in Essex, which also made it to London from where journalists came to look into the story. According to the Stratford Express,
That Zeppelins had been at Chelmsford on Sunday was announced at the evening service at Leyton Parish Church, and created a good deal of alarm. Canon Thornton-Duesbery [sic] said the Zeppelins had encircled the cathedral, and the fact that the church had escaped might be attributed to the prayers that had been offered for the preservation of the cathedrals and churches of the country.4
The origins of the rumour were unclear, but the Stratford Express suggested that it may have had something to do with a mobilisation of Essex's special constables.
- 7 January: reports from the French coast this morning of a Zeppelin heading towards England, with it being 'rumoured that two other Zeppelins had preceded it', according to a Daily Mail correspondent.5
- Before 9 January: London has been full of rumours about Zeppelins 'during the past few days'.6 In part this refers to the Chelmsford episode on 4 January; but also 'At another time it was stated that hostile aircraft had been seen over the eastern extremity of the Metropolis, and before the day was out gossip had located the enemy over every other part of London.'7
- Before 10 January: 'a report, which nobody believed, that Zeppelins had been seen over the East Coast during the week' (which may relate to any of the preceding rumours).8
- Before 15 January: a rumour belatedly passed by the censor 'that one or more Zeppelins had penetrated the South Coast, and were last reported being seen over Crowborough Camp' in East Sussex.9 The story 'appears to have been started by an anonymous person ringing a City Police Station, and stating that Zeppelins were approaching London across Kent and Sussex', with rumour filling in the gaps by specifying Tunbridge Wells and Crowborough.10 The War Office blames 'some malicious alien in our midst'.11
- 19 January: the first (real) Zeppelin raid attacks targets in Norfolk.
- 19-21 January: after (or during) the raid, stories circulate about 'mysterious motor cars and travelling searchlights', and that 'the enemy aircraft was shown the direction of her route by a motor car, which is said to have been by seen several persons dashing along the main road from Wells to Lynn at a high speed'.12
- 22 January: the Press Association issues a report that a second air raid was in progress after two or more Zeppelins were seen at Cromer in Norfolk, linking this to a Zeppelin seen over the Channel. Both claims were officially denied the following day; the former may have originated in the sound of a British seaplane, while the latter, which was investigated by Scotland Yard, perhaps had something to do with the 'dreadful buzz' heard at Deal on the south coast -- 'A crowd assembled on the seashore' to watch for the raider, but nothing was seen.13 Headlines refer to 'the Zeppelin scare' and 'imaginary Zeppelins', while the Yorkshire Evening Post asks 'Are we prepared for more air-ship raids?'14 The London Star is reminded of 'the "scare ship" reported over Yorkshire and other parts of the country two or three years ago'.15 In the evening, Burwell in Cambridgeshire is 'not alarmed, but alert, at the rumour that a Zeppelin had visited the village' after 'A young lady at High Town saw the flash of a powerful light, and a well-known farmer opposite heard the whirr of engines'.16 Both appear to have been due to a motor car.
- 23 January: 'Some waggish person' starts the rumour that the collapse of a shed at a Ryehill farm the previous day 'was due to a bomb dropped from a Zeppelin', which by evening is being circulated in nearby Hull.17
- before 26 January: 'within the last week there have been baseless rumours of aeroplanes or Zeppelins having been seen or heard passing over Stirling and district at night', prompting authorities to issue a list of precautions to be undertaken in the event of a raid.18
- 26 January: Lincoln's lights are extinguished 'on receipt of a message from Ipswich that enemy airships had been sighted'.19 Nothing was seen, 'although there were many rumours'.20
- before 29 January: 'The Zeppelin scare has "got on the nerves" of many people', particularly in rural Northamptonshire, resulting in 'rumours of enemy aircraft passing over this or that village, and anxious mothers have told their children on no account to be out after dark'.21
- 1 February: there are rumours in Dover that 'hostile aircraft were detected approaching the town', which presumably is connected with the gun and searchlight batteries going into action (although submarines were also suspected, and the actual culprit seems to have been a steamer which failed to follow port regulations).22 The same night, London is awash with 'rumours to the effect that a fleet of Zeppelins were on their way to London'.23 It is claimed that 5 Zeppelins were seen over Hornchurch, though the number varies and anyway the report is treated 'as a joke' by the police.24 It is treated more seriously in London, where Woolwich Arsenal's lights are extinguished and some railway stations darkened.25 Special constables are called out on duty by Scotland Yard, and 'telephone exchanges were kept busy for more than two hours by subscribers anxious to know the latest'.26 According to the London correspondent of the Bucks Herald,
The rumour reached me about nine o’clock as I was seated at a cinema performance some 15 miles outside London. The manager in charge quietly invited any special constables present to go outside, as they were wanted in connection with a Zeppelin raid. One or two men instantly rose and left. A little later it transpired that the 'Zeps.' had got far as Dover, and had been turned back, but in London at least five of the enemy aircraft were believed to have hovered over Hornchurch, in Essex -- which is no great distance, as the crow flies, from the sewerage works at Barking. It has since been said that long cigar-shaped clouds were apparently mistaken for Zeppelins. 27
In order to help the public to work out what they are looking at in the sky, 'Very soon the Home Office will distribute specially-drawn posters depicting Zeppelins and taubes and British aircraft'.28
So yes, there was a 1915 airship panic -- a phantom airship panic, in fact. It resolves here into two phases. The first one is in the first week or two of January, though due to the often vague press reports it's hard to tell if the rumours were as frequent as they appear, or if the same ones are just being repeated. The second phase is much more sharply defined, which is presumably because it took place in the couple of weeks after the (real) Zeppelin raid of 19 January: either the press took more interest in the rumours, or there were simply more rumours, or both.
Clearly, relying on the press is problematic, whether due to the limitations imposed by the method or the sources (and I haven't attempted to use anything other than the BNA), or by the interest or knowledge of the newspapers and the censors. But there are other sources, and in my next post on the 1915 airship panic I'll look at the view from the archives.
Aberdeen Daily Journal, 21 January 1915, 5. Note that I've cheated slightly here, as the word 'rumour' in this article doesn't appear in reference to the motor car story but to speculation about why Hunstanton was not bombed. ↩

Paul Kraus, the longest living mesothelioma survivor in the world, used a variety of alternative modalities to survive his diagnosis. An important one was the role of the mind in healing. His book has 17 pages dedicated to this subject. Here is a brief sampling of some of the factors Paul discusses. These quotes were taken directly from his book.
The link between thoughts and the state of our health is hardly a new phenomenon. Hippocrates in ancient Greece, acknowledged as the father of medicine, suggested that good health was a balance between mind, body and the environment.
It cannot be overemphasized how important it is to adopt a positive mindset when facing a life threatening illness such as cancer.
Below are five positive and helpful thoughts you can embrace:
- Cancer can be overcome.
- The treatment regime will help in your recovery.
- Everything in your life has a purpose and a plan.
- Hope is physiological (not just psychological).
- To think positive is a matter of choice! Positive thinking actually works.
More and more doctors are taking a holistic view of medicine, seeing mind and body as an integrated system. There is an increasing body of research showing the various ways in which the mind and body are one.
Psychoneuroimmunology studies the effects of our thoughts and emotions on our bodies’ susceptibility or resistance to disease.
The experience of cancer helps us to see that the real treasures of life are not to be found in the externals but in inner peace and contentment.
Attitude, or one’s mindset, is a powerful stimulus to physical health and for long-term survival. That is why emotional healing is important in order to come to terms with a life-threatening illness such as cancer.
The body, right down to the cellular level, is heavily influenced by the level of our emotional health.
People do become empowered to heal through utilizing positive emotions (such as faith, hope, love and laughter) together with adopting healthy, carefully disciplined lifestyles.
I have found, both from my own experience and that of my fellow cancer sufferers that one of the biggest stumbling blocks to healing is reluctance to let go of our fears and our negative ways of thinking.
Observe your emotions and acknowledge them – not merely the positive emotions – but the so-called negative ones such as anger and guilt. Do not bottle them up and deny them lest they ultimately overwhelm you.

Mulching of soils with transparent (solarization) and black polyethylene films to increase growth of annual and perennial crops in southwestern Mexico
Pre-planting mulching of moist soils with black and transparent (solarization) polyethylene films for six weeks raised soil temperatures 3- 11°Cover uncovered control soil and reduced populations of Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid. 62-100%, Pythium spp. 67-88% and Gram-positive bacteria 64-99% after treatment of two soil types in southwestern Mexico. Solarization reduced weed populations 97-100% and black film mulching 76-99% one week after film removal. Although charcoal rot (M. phaseolina) was not controlled by mulching on the indicator crop of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), seed pod yield was increased up to 97% and dry seed up to 72% over control soil after mulching. Black film mulching was as effective as solarization for increasing yield of sesame. Post-planting mulching with black film increased growth of woody perennial Mexican lime (Citrus aurantifolia (Christm.) Swingle) seedlings up to four-fold. No effect was found on mango (Mangifera indica L.); and growth of herbaceous perennials, papaya (Carica papaya L.) and banana (Musa cv.), was hindered by the film mulches. A ten-fold reduction in dry-season irrigation requirement sometimes was achieved using the post-planting film mulches, even when no growth increases were obtained.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Acting Administrator and Assistant Secretary for Aging, Administration for Community Living
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
March 29, 2023
Thank you for the opportunity to be here to commemorate World Down Syndrome Day and discuss the importance of the self-determination, autonomy and full participation of people with Down syndrome and other disabilities in every aspect of life. I look forward to sharing about the United States’ efforts and learning about those of other member states.
The mission of Administration for Community Living (ACL) is to support the full inclusion and participation of people with disabilities in all aspects of community life, regardless of age, type of disability or level of support need. We do that through policy advocacy across the U.S. government, funding disability and aging networks that provide a range of community-based services and legal advocacy, and funding disability research to inform policy and practice.
An important aspect of the role ACL and the US government play, both regionally and globally, is to share insights about our laws, promising practices, and lessons learned. So, I’m especially pleased to be with you today.
The theme for this year’s commemoration — “with us, not for us” – is at the heart of the work that ACL does. ACL includes people with lived experience, including people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) like Down syndrome, in all ACL initiatives. For example, people with I/DD advise the President of the United States on disability policy through a committee that ACL administers and are board members for the disability networks ACL funds.
ACL’s mission is very meaningful to me personally and has shaped my life and career. Over 40 years ago, when my brother Evan was born with Down syndrome, my family, like others at that time, was told that the only place for him was in an institution. My parents said no. Today, my brother is living in the community, has a great job, an active social life, and is an incredible disability advocate. His story demonstrates how much progress has been made in the United States to ensure that people with I/DD have opportunities be valued, full participants in their communities.
Unfortunately, this kind of life is too often the exception. For too long, people with I/DD have lacked meaningful opportunities to make choices in their lives. ACL is taking steps to change this by investing in initiatives to help people with I/DD have more autonomy, choice, and self-determination.
ACL supports self-advocacy organizations that help people with I/DD to gain the skills to advocate for themselves so that they can live the lives they want.
We are working to change the presumption that people with I/DD lack the capacity to make their own decisions. ACL is collaborating with advocates across the country to develop and educate about alternatives to guardianship, including supported decision-making.
ACL focuses on expanding the services that many people with I/DD need to live and participate in the community. We also are working to strengthen the direct care workforce that provides those services and to support families who often provide unpaid support. Strengthening the caregiving infrastructure is also a priority for the Biden-Harris Administration.
Employment is critical for full community inclusion. ACL is focused on expanding opportunities for Competitive Integrated Employment – jobs in typical workplaces where people with disabilities work alongside non-disabled co-workers at equal wages.
Housing is another key area in which greater independence can make a difference. Most people with I/DD live with their families. Community living opportunities are often limited to group homes; few people live in their own apartments or homes. ACL is leading a partnership among federal agencies to develop innovative, inclusive housing models for people with I/DD.
Finally. an enduring challenge for people with I/DD is overcoming a long history of discrimination. COVID-19 shone a bright light on this discrimination, with people with I/DD excluded from life-saving treatment and facing barriers in accessing vaccines, therapeutics, and more. The Department of Health and Human Services has prioritized enforcement of disability rights protections and is in the process of updating civil rights regulations that protect people with disabilities against discrimination.
It is with great pride that I am able to speak to you about the progress the United States has made in supporting Americans with Down syndrome and other disabilities to live independently and participate fully in their communities. But we still have lots of work to do and a long way to go.
We look forward to collaborating with, and learning from, each of you as we work towards the shared goals of self-determination, autonomy and the full integration of persons with disabilities in every aspect of life.

Yet another of the Beat the Boots discs, from the second boxed set. I have a store-bought cassette of this, and a CDR someone made for me.
This boot was recorded just before Cruising With Ruben and the Jets and Uncle Meat were released, as Zappa introduces the "String Quartet" (see below) as being from the album that will be out in a couple weeks. The sound quality of this disc isn't nearly as good as the previous Boot series discs - it's muffled and mid-rangey. This might be because the sound in the venue was bad - at one point Zappa explains that "gymnasiums were not designed to make music in" but were instead intended for "people who like to jump around with balls and stuff".
The opening track isn't a song, it's just Zappa warning the audience not to step on the cables or their feet might light up. Next comes a good cover of Bacon Fat (although the vocals are so quiet they're almost impossible to hear), and then the band launches into an instrumental that Frank calls the String Quartet. This is made up of what would become Pound For a Brown and a very long, solo-filled version of Sleeping in a Jar. Oddly, a couple minutes into "Sleeping", we hear what sounds like a record player slowing down, then some silence, then it speeds back up and continues normally. I'm guessing this boot was originally a double vinyl album, and this was where side 1 ended and side 2 began.
A notable feature of the disc (and possibly the reason it was made part of the Boots series, despite its so-so sound quality) is that it contains two live performances by Wild Man Fischer - The Wild Man Fischer Story and I'm the Meany. These are solo vocal performances, and pretty strange ones at that. Makes me want to hear the long-out-of-print An Evening with Wild Man Fischer album (update 2002: I traded someone for a CDR of that album - can't say it was worth the wait).
The disc concludes with another performance of the doo-wop track Valarie, and then a long version of King Kong. This features Zappa's usual introduction that the song is about "a large gorilla that's on an island...some Americans found out about the gorilla...they catch him and stick him on a boat, they bring him back to the United States and show him off and make a bunch of money, and then they kill him". Of course, King Kong has no lyrics, so I guess Frank was just trying to make a point.

“Should I come out or tell others?” Same-Sex Attraction: Individuals (2020)
“Should I come out or tell others?” Same-Sex Attraction: Individuals
For some people, keeping feelings of same-sex attraction private can result in shame or a negative internal dialogue. Sharing those feelings with a trusted confidant can be liberating and healing. Some, however, wish they had waited longer or at least limited the number of people to whom they disclosed their feelings, so this decision shouldn’t be based on yielding to pressure to “come out” publicly or openly identify as gay. If you decide to disclose feelings of same-sex attraction, prayerfully consider whom you would like to tell about it and how to share this aspect of your mortal experience.
If you decide to share your experiences of feeling same-sex attraction or to openly identify as gay, you should be supported and treated with kindness and respect, both at home and in church. We all need to be patient with each other as we figure things out.
As Church members, we all have a responsibility to create a supportive and loving environment for all our brothers and sisters. Such a support network makes it much easier to live the gospel and to seek the Spirit while navigating any aspect of mortality.

Literal Whitewashing! America Ferrera Had To Paint Her Face White For An Audition That Wasn't Accepting Latinas!
This hurts us on so many levels.
As we previously reported, The New York Times interviewed 27 people in the entertainment industry who don't identify as straight, white males on their experiences in their fields.
We thought we heard the worst horror story America Ferrera ever had to endure when she talked about being told to "sound more Latina" while speaking English during an audition as a 16-year-old…
But we were wrong.
That's because she had an even more unsettling brush with racism when she had no choice but to literally whitewash herself to try to get a part, telling NYT:

No one makes a drop-in Decoder specifically for the Micro Trains Z scale F7. You will need to mill the chassis down to make room for a Decoder. I've done a few installing a TCS Z2 decoder. Their are several write-ups on various message boards detailing how to do it. I will try and find a link to the one i used and post it later today or tomorrow.
There are newer decoders since this was published that may fit better. In general, I haven't given much consideration to DCCing the MTL units because of the required mill work. However since I have a number of dummy A and B units, I've been thinking of installing a decoder in them and create a couple of permanently joined A-A and A-B sets.
As for the rest, really no good single spot to look. Greg's site is a good start. If you're looking for how-to, www.trainboard.com/highball/index.php?forums/z-scale.113/ is a good site to search. Over the years, the discussions have covered Märklin Mikado and Pacifics, F59, AZL's original GP (all wired in) and sound for the RDC and in MTL dummy F7s (tjdreams?).
Starting with the GPs (both MTL & AZL) the "drop-in" decoders are typical for the injection locomotives. As far as I know the brass still tend to be wired.
I'll decline mentioning possible installers as reviews have been spotty.


Bhubaneswar: A final year MBBS student (House Surgeon) of Pandit Raghunath Murmu Medical College and Hospital at Odisha’s Baripada town was found dead under mysterious circumstances today.
The deceased has been identified as Sachin Kumar Sahoo of Keonjhar.
Sachin went to his hostel room after completing his duty hours at the hospital at around 3 pm in the afternoon. However, he did not come out of his room till evening, sources said.
Sachin’s friends also did not receive any reply when they knocked on the door of his hostel room. Later, they broke open Sachin’s room window and found him hanging from the ceiling fan, sources added.
Sachin was immediately rushed to the hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival.
The authorities of the medical college have informed the incident to the deceased’s family members.
“We have initiated a probe into the incident. The House Surgeon might have died by suicide. We are trying to find out why he took this extreme step,” said Baripada Sadar police IIC Madhumita Mohanty.

The rapid left back slash left midfielder has left West Brom to join up with Gillingham once again.
Recently released West Brom youngster Bradley Garmston has quickly signed found a new club, signing for Justin Edinburgh's Gillingham side.
And his former teammtate Saido Berahino was swift to congratulate the 21-year-old, who came up through the ranks at the Baggies at the same time as the striker, even though he is on England Under-21 duty.
Thanks bro good luck at the euros! https://t.co/K4orvvQ8uL— BradleyGarmston#3 (@BradleyGarmston) June 15, 2015
Garmston, who wished Berahino luck at the European Under-21 Championships in return, revealed during an earlier loan spell at Colchester United that he was one of the fastest sprinters in the country as a 14-year-old, finishing second in English Schools national championships.
It's no surprise that the left-sided player is so gifted at athletics, given the prominence it has in the family. His mother is Sonia Lannaman, a former Olympics and Commonwealth Games medalist, while his father was head physio for the British Olympic teams during the 1990s.
But it is Priestfield Stadium that Garmston is going to be zipping down the wing, rather than the Hawthorns, after he made a permanent move to the side he was on loan at last season.
The Gills finished mid table in League One, as Garmston made 9 appearances for the Kent side, and the Republic of Ireland Under-21 international will be looking to get plenty more appearances under his belt having failed to feature for the Baggies.

Available as a digital download, the T1 trust has combined
all six of its book club videos into one amazing reference. Two of steam’s
elder statesmen, Wes Camp and John Stein guide students through a six session
online book club for the T1 Trust. The information shared is timeless, clear
and concise. The Ultimate Steam Tutorial
began on January 29, 2015, and ran for six weeks through March 5 of that year.
The subject of the book club was Suggested
Unit Course in Locomotive Firing. Written in 1944, the chosen reference is
quite modern by steam standards.
Approaching 12 hours in length, the T1 Trust Book Club Video
Collection is an excellent educational resource. Based on years of experience
teaching “new hands”, the instructors are able to provide clear explanations of
otherwise difficult concepts. A treasure trove of drawings, photographs and
blueprints are used to provide participants with valuable insight and
understanding of steam operations.
Topics include an overview of the boiler, and locomotive
water systems in general, with special attention given to the water glass and
safety. The Gettysburg boiler explosion is discussed along with an explanation
of how this tragedy led to new FRA regulations. Some sessions include exciting
guest appearances. Jack Wheeluhan who fires the Daylight for Doyle McCormack
covers the topics of oil firing and pyrometry, and America’s premier
new-steam builder, Dave Kloke pays the book club a visit to discuss firing with
coal, oil and even cord wood. Further topics explored include firing grates,
stokers, valves and valve gear, netting, smoke, draft, lubrication, the
locomotive frame, running gear, appliances and various appurtenances.


BACKGROUND: Fumigated, anaerobic soil disinfestation-treated (ASD), and organic-amended soil management strategies have been investigated as potential methyl bromide (MBr) alternatives for controlling diseases, nematodes, and weeds in soil. Nutsedge and broadleaf weed control using fomesafen has been reported to be comparable to MBr in normal cropping systems. There is no information on the fate of fomesafen used in combination with alternative practices. In this study, the fate of fomesafen in these alternative systems was measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS–MS) following extraction using a modified Quick Easy Cheap Effective Safe (QuEChERS) method. RESULTS: The reported half-life (DT50) values for fomesafen in the top 15 cm of soil were from 62.9 to 107.3 days. The DT50 values in organic-amended soil were higher than in ASD-treated soil in the top 15 cm. For all treatments, reductions in concentrations were positively correlated with lower redox potentials and organic matter content. Some leaching of fomesafen into the 16–30 cm zone was observed in all treatments. CONCLUSIONS: The DT50 values in this study were generally higher than those reported in previous studies performed at different locations. Due to increased losses of the herbicide and subsequent reduction in weed control, fomesafen is likely not to be suitable for effective weed control in systems using ASD techniques employing composted poultry litter and molasses. Integration of fomesafen using composted yard waste 1 (CYW1) and Soil Symphony Amendment (SSA) may result in acceptable weed control. Given that the soil was very sandy and the pH was higher than the pKa, fomesafen might leach deeper than 30 cm, particularly with the use of chemical soil fumigants (CSFs).

Picky eating among young children is so commonplace, it often is a topic at cocktail parties and playgrounds: “My child won’t eat anything green,” or, “My child eats only white foods.”
Five tips for parents
- Children don’t naturally expand their food choices. The
parents’ job is to offer healthful meals every day.
- Parents and siblings should be role models. They should spend
time teaching the child about the taste, texture, temperature,
color and nutritional value to make them feel comfortable with
trying new foods. “Parents need to sit down and eat with their
kids,” says Jennine Sidler.
- Sidler recommends toddlers sit in a high chair to help support
their posture, with a spot for their feet. Avoid eating in front of
- Allow the child to explore texture. “To expose them to a lot of
textures, play with rice, sand or whipped cream. They need to get
their hands dirty because they don’t like to get their hands
- Have fun with food. Sidler recommends providing a fun fork or
spoon. Or play a game by hiding a blueberry inside a baked potato.
“Otherwise they would never touch the baked potato.”
Most children outgrow this stage between 5 and 7. Yet for a large percentage of developmentally delayed children, such as those born prematurely, and 5 percent of the rest of the population of toddlers and children, picky eating is a serious health problem.
Some children are so picky or feeding averse they will consume only a few foods, such as crackers and certain types of juice.
How do you know what type of feeder your child is? A picky eater may reject certain foods, but still has a nourishing diet. Children with a pediatric feeding disorder may consume only three to four types of foods and reject entire food groups, resulting in too few calories and nutrients for healthy growth and development.
“Most kids experience food jags. A child with a feeding disorder will start omitting foods out of their repertoire instead of adding them,” says early intervention nutrition specialist Jennine Sidler, RD, of Primary Nutrition Specialists in Frankfort. “Often the first sign of an eating disorder is they can’t look at the food.”
She points to numerous physical reasons a child rejects certain foods, including pain, malaise, immature motor skills, behavior or emotional problems, and parental or environmental factors. “Most of the time it’s physical-some type of surgery, reflux, GI pain or negative reinforcement. Or they have autism, Asperger’s syndrome, Down syndrome or some type of development delay.”
Kay Toomey, Ph.D., a pediatric psychologist, developed the SOS (sequential oral sensory) Approach to Feeding, a program for assessing and treating children with feeding problems. She distinguishes picky eaters from problem eaters by the variety of food accepted. If the child accepts more than 20 foods, he is a picky eater. A problem eater eats fewer than 20 food items.
When new foods frighten
Studies at the University of Pennsylvania’s Monell Chemical Senses Center found that many times children have aversions to food textures.
“Generally it’s the wet plant foods such as the fruit and vegetable group that the sensory kids avoid,” says Sidler, a mother of three, one of whom is picky due to allergies.
Feeding problems are increasing due to the rise of disorders such as autism, sensory integration, and even prematurity.
“A feeding problem is often the first clue a developmental disorder exists,” she says.
“Most of the kids crave crunchy and eat a lot of the starch group. They’re completely omitting the fruit and vegetable group. A lot of times it feels like they’re eating a grasshopper. They can’t even touch it.”

Night Embrace is the amazing story of Talon and Sunshine.
Sunshine comes from a carefree and loving family. Filled with laughter and friendship, Sunshine leads the sweet life of an artist. Drowning in pink and purple flowers while singing Puff the Magic Dragon, she is everything that will drive Talon up the wall. Or seduce him with amusement.
“You know, Sunshine, you need to find a man like that to marry. Someone so well hung that even after three or four kids, he’d still be wall to wall.”
Talon gaped. Sunshine laughed.
Talon, another Dark-Hunter with a tragic past, protects humans through the centuries of loneliness. Calm and collected, he has one mission in life. Protect and survive. Forcing the emotions and pain of betrayal, he glides along the way through the days, years and centuries without mourning the loss of his wife, his son and his family.
“Never let anyone know you. Never give them a chance to realize you don’t age. Move through the darkness ever watchful, ever alert. We are all that stands between the humans and slavery. Without us, they all die and their souls are lost forever. Our responsibilities are great. Our battles numerous and legendary. But at the end of the night, you go home alone where no one knows what it is you have done to save the world that fears you. You can never bask in your glory. You can never know love or family. We are Dark-Hunters. We are forever powerful. We are forever alone.”
Acheron becomes more engrossed in this book. Kenyon gives you a few glances into his past that will leave you frustrated with curiosity. No worries! His novel will be read before you know it!
Fighting their love for one another, Talon and Sunshine are soul mates. Reincarnated with Talon’s wife’s soul, they are extremely attracted and are unable to keep their hands to themselves 🙂
This book is far more sexual than Night Pleasures or Fantasy Lover.
Many characters are introduced in this book. I love most of them and I look forward to rereading their stories!
Vane and Fang, wolves who can take human form, repay a debt to Acheron and form a temporary alliance. With this, the book unravels many stories to come. This book is a MUST read if you plan on continuing with the other books in this series.
I recommend this book to mature adults only. Although this book is filled with paranormal yumminess, I highly advise against allowing a teenager or child to read this series. People tend to forget that children are indeed children and NOT young adults. This book is not for innocent eyes.
Extremely delectable sexual and violent content.
Line of the book:
“But without pain, you can’t have joy. It’s the balance that makes us appreciate the extremes.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carson Wentz continues to show poise beyond his years in his second NFL season.
Wentz threw for 222 yards and three touchdowns against one of the NFL’s top defenses, and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Carolina Panthers 28-23 on Thursday night to improve to an NFC-best 5-1.
The Eagles turned two interceptions deep in Carolina territory into 15 points. Wentz teamed with Zach Ertz on two touchdown passes, and LaGarrette Blount scored on a 2-point conversion run for an 18-10 lead in the third quarter. Wentz added a 24-yard scoring pass to Nelson Agholor in the fourth quarter.
“He’s a great leader of this football team, even in his second year,” Eagles coach Doug Pederson said. “Guys really respect the way he plays. It’s exciting to see that.”
Cam Newton threw three interceptions for Carolina (4-2).
The first two interceptions came inside Carolina’s 20, but weren’t Newton’s fault. He was hit by Fletcher Cox as he released one pass, and running back Jonathan Stewart bobbled another pass resulting in a pick. Newton’s third interception — by Jalen Mills with 3:06 left — ended a chance for the go-ahead score.
Carolina had one last shot to win, but turned it over on downs at midfield.
“It’s disappointing because we had the opportunities,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. “We can’t kick field goals and beat good teams. We can’t turn the ball over and not take it away.”
Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly was placed into the concussion protocol after his body crumpled following a collision with Eagles pulling guard Brandon Brooks. Kuechly missed nine games over the past two seasons with two concussions. All of the Eagles’ touchdowns came after Kuechly left the game late in the second quarter.
Panthers cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said it won’t be easy to replace Keuchly, adding “Luke is a big part of what we do.”


DOUBTS over the safety of genetically modified foods voiced by the British Medical Association were the main reason behind Zambia’s decision to reject food aid last year, says a Zambian scientist who visited Europe this week. Famine still threatens 2.4 million people in Zambia today.
The revelation is significant because a trade war is looming between the US and Europe over GM crops. After Zambia refused the World Food Programme’s shipments of American maize, on the grounds that they contained traces of GM strains, the US accused European governments and non-governmental organisations of “poisoning” opinion in Africa by exaggerating the risks to health and the environment.
New Scientist has now been told that Zambia was influenced predominantly by negative advice about GM foods from the BMA. The claim comes from Luke Mumba, a senior molecular biologist at the University of Zambia in Lusaka who is attending a summit on farming in Brussels this week.
In its policy document on GM foods, written in 1999, the BMA says: “We cannot at present know whether there are serious risks to the environment or to human health involved in producing GM crops or consuming GM food products…and adverse effects are likely to be irreversible.”
In particular, the BMA fears antibiotic-resistance genes, which act as “markers” in GM crops, could spread to bacteria, making them resistant to antibiotics. The report also says some GM foods might cause allergies. Neither fear has been substantiated so far.
Mumba says that before the Zambian government made its decision on the American maize it asked a group of prominent scientists to compile a report on the pros

How Long Do You Legally Have to Sign a ContractAdmin
A contract does not need a date to be valid. Most of the time, it simply starts on the day it is signed. Once a contract is finalized, it is reviewed and amended by an organization`s legal team. Whether or not there is a contract expiration date, there must be three elements for a contract to be legally binding: offer, acceptance, and consideration. In most states, a party may make a written or oral offer, with exceptions, including contracts or real estate agreements that exceed a period of 12 months. Once one party has made an offer and the other party accepts the offer, this is called acceptance. “Mutual consent” is a legal term that describes an agreement between two parties to abide by a set of conditions contained in a contract. For a contract to become legally binding, both parties must agree to all the terms. The time frame for signing varies depending on the contract. Here are some common contract types with some vague clues as to how long the signing process will take. It may sound basic (and it is!), but you`d be surprised how often it passes in the hustle and bustle of business. While you don`t necessarily need to sign an agreement for it to be valid, why take this chance? There is absolutely no better way to prove that a party intended to be bound by a contract than to whip it and show its signature on the document.
If the parties to a contract may not sign it at the same time, you can include a section in the contract that states that the contract is only legally binding if it is signed by both parties. Why is this so important? Because the correct signature in the name of a company prevents any subsequent claims from making the person signing the contract personally liable for the contractual obligations of the company. In some cases, two parties may enter into a contract that requires payment on each anniversary of the start of the contract. However, a dispute can arise if there is no written start date. In this case, a court may be in default until the date on which the parties signed the contract or, in the case of an oral contract, until the date on which an offer was accepted. If neither party remembers the date the contract was signed, the court may have to determine the date of the first payment and use that date as the anniversary date for each subsequent year. However, these conditions are often found in a signed contract: In this article, we answer the question: “How much time do you have to get out of a contract?” We will explain the general rule that contracts are in effect when they are signed and discuss some exceptions, such as contracts subject to the FTC`s three-day cooling-off period, contracts of a certain nature for which state law creates a right of withdrawal, and situations surrounding the signing of the contract that may result in a valid defense. A legally enforceable contract is more than just a friendly promise. It lays down the provisions on which both parties agree. If a dispute arises, judges and lawyers review the original agreement to learn more about the problem.
If a written agreement does not have a contract expiration date and a dispute arises over the end date of the contract, a court must review all aspects of the agreement to determine when the agreement has ended or will end. For example, if you signed a laptop purchase agreement with a vendor, a court may determine that the expiration date of the contract was when the vendor delivered the laptops to your company. The court could confirm this by verifying receipt of delivery to establish that the contract has been concluded. In most cases, courts apply the “reasonable time” standard based on the terms of the agreement to determine the logical purpose of a contract. It`s always a good idea to put an agreement in writing. As mentioned above, certain types of contracts need to be written down to be enforceable. So, if you are entering into a contract for real estate, a contract for the sale of property valued at more than $500, or a contract that cannot be executed within a year, make sure you have a signed written agreement.

Have you always wanted to talk to a reality show star about what’s going on in the world of reality TV?
On Thursdays at 7 p.m. on TheTVSpot.com, connect to Judging with Erica to hear Houston socialite and recent law school grad Erica Rose weigh in on the shows you love and the ones you love to hate.
Rose got the web show after co-hosting Gossip with Getz, and now has her own 30-minute time slot, a webcam and a forum to interact with fans, who can ask questions via chat box. In the past, Rose told CultureMap of her hopes of getting a legal reality show on air in which she’d be something of a mix between Nancy Grace and Elle Woods of the Legally Blonde movies.
“Those bitches have so much drama,” Rose said of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
But, true to her exhibitionist roots, Rose also reveals personal tidbits — that she has been proposed to “at least twice” and that her enviably au naturel rack is a 32E (“E for Erica”) — and shamelessly plugs her workout video, Stiletto Bikini Blast.
Rose plans to have guests on the show in future episodes, and even extend invitations to viewers to appear.
Do you have what it takes to keep up? Do you even want to? Connect to Rose on Twitter @LegallyErica.
