If I'm out of the house and busy, it's surprising how little I think of food. If I'm bored or there's something I don't want to do, and/or I'm at home, I think a lot about food.
DH is giving his first DD a valiant effort. He's not loving it. Next one, I'll try to get him more bulk. A little short on food options today. Gotta love this man. He'll give just about anything I throw at him a try and supports me in any way he can.

Raven Rocks presents 'Love Letters' | AT THE GALLERIES
Raven Rocks presents 'Love Letters'
"Love Letters" features oil paintings by Marcia Van Doren. It runs through Jan. 2 at Raven Rocks Gallery in Greenbank.
Family figures and letters inspired by illuminated manuscripts are central to Van Doren's paintings. They evoke a sense of "having been there," stirring memories of transitional or cherished times in the lives of the viewers, with the artist attempting to create feelings of peace and nostalgia.
"The images in my work are personal," Van Doren said.
"They intend no specific definition — different layers of meaning exist and the viewers are invited to find their own."
Gallery owners and artists Mary Jo Oxreider and Windwalker Taibi celebrate the holidays by filling the gallery with handmade items for joyful and thoughtful gift giving. See hand-carved driftwood feathers by Roger White; hear the gallery jingle with the sounds of authentic brass sleigh bells beribboned in seasonal colors; and browse the wide selection of handmade hats and scarves, hand-dyed yarns, treasure bowls, Scrumble dolls, hand-woven purses and semi-precious gemstone jewelry.
Raven Rocks Gallery is located at Greenbank Farm. For information and gallery hours, call 222-0102 or visit www.ravenrocksgallery.com.

Partagas Black Label
Magnifico · 6 × 54 PABM_1
This is certainly not your standard Paratagas cigar! Wrapped in a unique Medio Tiempo sun-grown Havana-seed leaf from the Connecticut River Valley, this very robust blend of Nicaraguan and Piloto Cubano ligeros are bursting with flavors of earth, dark chocolate, and roasted espresso. Not a cigar for the timid, this very popular smoke will overwhelm your senses with bold mouthwatering flavors.

good flavor, uneven burn
don b on 08/04/15
Good flavor, good draw, but ... 20 cigars in a box and 15 burn unevenly. Shouldn't a $4.50 Partagas (including shipping) burn evenly? I know how to clip a cap and light a cigar. These burn much less evenly than the Partagas I used to smoke. Be warned.

Very Inconsistent
p47koji on 10/03/15
I've smoked 12 of the 20 sticks. Five of the 12 were unsatisfactory in that they burned unevenly. One burn looked like the state of New Hampshire it was so bad. One required numerous relights; I gave up after half way - it was like a lump of coal where the burn stopped. One oddity amongst these bad burns: the label had an overall green tinge. While the wrapper is spicy, I rated this smoke as below par.

Nice Cigar
TomH on 03/25/16
Was looking for a change of pace from my usual (La Gloria No. 7 Maduro) and this filled the bill. Good draw and construction. Really liked the flavor but burn was a bit inconsistent from cigar to cigar. I will probably reorder at some point.

Partagas Magnifico
Lorenzo Lanza-Castillo de Saavedra on 07/14/16
The Partagas Black Label Magnifico is proof that a full-strength cigar doesn't have to be harsh. It's the best cigar I've ever smoked. I can't detect such subtleties as hints of coffee and chocolate in a cigar. If I want hints of coffee and chocolate, I'll stir my Nescafe with a Hershey bar. It's enough to say that a Partagas Black has a fine, rich flavor with creamy thick smoke. Nine out of ten I've smoked have a great draw and an even burn. That one out of ten with the difficult draw is easily fixed by carefully pushing an ice pick along the longitudinal axis. They're made mostly by hand, after all, so there will be some variation. Zino Davidoff said you should put your cigar out when you've smoked about two-thirds of it. Zino probably never smoked a Partagas Black Label Magnifico. My Magnifico's flavor lasts until the cigar starts to burn my lips. Then I reluctantly extinguish it. But I have the next one to look forward to.

A must have 15/15
Nick_or_Rutledge on 10/18/15
A well made cigar. The wrapper is tight and holds up well to the occasional gnawing. The draw is superb, but the burn rate is a bit too high. There was a slight unevenness to the burn, but it was easily managed by keeping the fast side up. +4.5 The smoke is spectacular! Thick, creamy and luxurious. I would love to fill a room in it and bask in the pillowy cloud. +5 Nuts! Cashews and almonds dominate the flavor early and powerful soil, moss and darleeling bring it home. This is a full body cigar, but the creamy smoke mellows the onslaught much like nitro mellows a stout. +5.5 (I normally only go to five, but this cigar has a piquancy that merits extra) Overall, this is a top ten cigar. It is a quintessential scotch cigar, though it would also work well with the aforementioned nitro stout. Even with the burn issues this cigar is a must for your humidor. 15/15

Favorite Standby
Waakie on 08/03/15
43 years of (JR Cigar) cigar smoking has honed my preferences exclusively to the Partagas Black Label (Magnifico 6 x 54). It is wonderfully made, tightly rolled, beautiful to behold, sensuous to the touch, bursting with dark and rich flavors, powerful--and even overpowering at times--but always leaving me with the feeling that I have spent precious time with a beloved old friend.

Syracuse, NY - A Syracuse man was sentenced today to 17 years in state prison for raping a woman in his home earlier this year.
Tyrone D. Loftin, 49, of 122 Lincoln Ave., could have faced a maximum penalty of 25 years after a County Court jury last month convicted him of first-degree rape and first-degree sexual abuse in connection with the April 25 incident.
Assistant District Attorney Geoffrey Ciereck said Loftin forcibly assaulted the 19-year-old victim who had been helping him clean his house. The prosecutor read to the court a wrttien statement in which the victim described being afraid to be alone now as a result of what happened to her.

Join Tampa Bay PHP for free food, drinks and giveaways as we welcome Akiban Technologies to present on MySQL scalability and noSQL.
NoSQL document stores are generally considered at the opposing extreme to relational databases. Schema and SQL are perceived to be at the core of the problem. Akiban Server is an open source database that brings document stores and relational databases together. Developers get powerful document access and schema evolution capabilities alongside surprisingly powerful SQL. In this presentation Ari will cover the architecture and operational ideas that underline the Akiban Server, which is being currently used by a number of large SaaS companies whose applications are written in PHP with really interesting use cases.
Ari is Product Manager and covers markets, projects and product direction. Prior to Akiban, Ari worked as product manager for Quest Software's application and database performance management products. He has a Bachelor's from The Ohio State University.
Food & Swag
We'll also be providing pizza and drinks for attendees, as well as Akiban swag (USB drives, coffee mugs, t-shirts..etc). Our meetups are always a lot of fun with lively conversation throughout and we look forward to seeing you there!
I want to learn how to create a site theme that I can use for several websites that have everything I need to have an affiliate site with a blog, opt ins, ecommerce functionality to sell ebooks, a directory of the different pages which highlight different subjects which each page having the same functionality, and whatever else is needed to create a very interactive site. I'm new to it all, but want to learn very much.

With less that two weeks remaining before Election Day, the gloves are off as candidates battle for the necessary votes to get elected. On Tuesday, the League of Women Voters sponsored a Meet the Candidates Night at Dunkirk's City Hall for mayoral and common council candidates.
Up first were the three mayoral hopefuls, incumbent Richard Frey, current councilman-at-large A.J. Dolce and newcomer David Barnes. Candidates were allowed three minutes to briefly explain their qualifications and respond to a question they were presented prior to Tuesday. Audience questions were possible with a written card.
"What is the most urgent problem facing the city of Dunkirk today and what would you do to help solve it if elected?" was the question. Frey, on the Republican, Conservative and Independence lines, was first by luck of the draw.

OBSERVER Photo
Mayoral candidates were the opening act in the League of Women Voters Meet the Candidates debate Tuesday at City Hall in Dunkirk. Pictured from left are: First Ward Councilman A.J. Dolce, LWV moderators Judith Reynolds and Marcia Merrins, David Barnes and Mayor Richard Frey.
"I would continue to do exactly what we've been doing and the direction we've been going the last 10 years. We have created jobs, that's a given," Frey began.
"The steel plant is open again. Remtronics has moved here. Carriage House is increasing their production. We've helped Cliffstar produce two additional production lines that has created 180 jobs over there. We've worked on development in the city. We've worked on revitalizing the waterfront and we'll continue to do that," Frey added.
Frey cited the waterfront developments as well, noting there is a "lot to be done yet."
"As we continue to develop the Edgewood Warehouse properties over on the east side of town, additional property down at Bertges' on the lakefront and Stefan's Marina," he continued. "The ownership of the marina has changed hands ... from Don Ryan to Jeff Gambino and cleanup has started there.
"I think that those are our issues, those are our problems, creating jobs. This is what we're very good at and we've accomplished it and we've done a good job at it."
Dolce is on the Democratic, Working Families and Dunkirk First lines and was next to speak.
"During my eight-plus years on council, you've come to know me as someone who's willing to listen and respond to your concerns, answer the difficult questions and make difficult choices, all with an eye for our future and bottom line," he stated. "I feel I'm most qualified to handle the responsibilities of mayor due to my work ethic, approachable nature, and willingness to be open and forthright when spending your tax dollars."
Dolce said his teaching background will help as mayor but that wasn't why he was running for the job.
"Like all of you, I'm frustrated by increased fees and taxes. That's why I feel it is essential for the office of mayor to work closely with his department heads, council, volunteer boards and neighboring communities to find ways to share in mandated costs, such as establishing a north county water district," he explained. "I feel the biggest issue facing Dunkirk is our budget deficit. In order to meet our financial challenges we must focus on cooperation among the administration, department heads and council.
"We must also stick to a budget as opposed to making thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of budget modifications every year, which shows the inability to stick to a simple plan.
"Finally, we must remain committed to being honest with how your tax dollars are being spent. There cannot be another situation where hundreds of thousands are spent secretly and without council approval. As mayor, I will remain committed to spending your tax dollars with the utmost efficiency in mind."
Barnes in on the People's Party line and was last to provide opening remarks.
"We need to change the atmosphere of negativity and the practice of manipulation by the party leaders that put their own interests above the interest of the tax-paying citizens. It's imperative that we address this budget crisis and false promises that turn on who's running the candidates, candidates that are run by other people," Barnes stated. "Mr. Dolce, however, only contradicts his statements with his previous statement that he said yesterday. Mr. Dolce says things and his voting record says other things. He backs the union, then he doesn't back the union with his voting record.
"Now, it's time for a change. Change is not always an easy thing. The process can be painful but it's the responsibility of the mayor's office to make the necessary changes for the city as a whole. The whole city, not just your uncle and your brother."
Barnes said the city's problems were "self-induced," and not the fault of the economy.
"These inefficiencies practiced and the votes, or lack of votes by eight years of Dolce and the last few years of Mayor Frey, set the fiscal shape we are in and they are violations of common sense," Barnes continued. "We will regain self-esteem and our respect with our neighbors and in the office. ... Our leaders will be there for you. They won't change from day to day on a whim.
"Ladies and gentlemen, a household and a city must live within its means. It must be safe and productive, safe for families to live. As long as there are forces in play that jeopardize our future, our children will consider to move to other states. they will raise their kids in other states and we will continue to lose population.
That's eight years of A.J. and the last 10 years of Mayor Frey, and Mayor Frey did do a wonderful job on the waterfront, ... some things he did well.
"However, there's a lot further we have to go, a lot more things we have to do. It's time for a change."
Editor's note: More coverage of the mayoral candidate debate along with coverage of the Common Council candidates debate will follow in future editions of the OBSERVER.

On the eve of the 100 year anniversary of the start of World War I (1914-1918), Alan Price, a Wharton scholar and humanities researcher, will tell the story of three important American war charities in France and the dress of their leaders: Edith Wharton, Nina Duryea, and Isabel Lathrop.
The lecture, titled "What They Wore to War: Dressing American Relief Workers in the Great War," will be presented at 4 p.m. Thursday, July 31, at The Mount, 2 Plunkett St.
The lecture was born out of Price's book, "The End of the Age of Innocence: Edith Wharton and the First World War," and marks the beginning of The Mount's four-year acknowledgment of this significant anniversary.
The Mount is further highlighting Wharton's war work in the exhibit "Edith Wharton and the First World War," open through Oct. 31. Price consulted on the project.

NORTHAMPTON - Boston was brought to Western Massachusetts on Saturday, as part of a municipal conference for local officials to discuss regionalization initiatives, a hot topic as many municipal budgets are stretched thin, and leaders are looking for ways to save.
Hosted by the Hampshire Council of Governments, Franklin Regional Council of Governments and state Sen. Stanley C. Rosenberg, D-Amherst, more than 40 communities were represented at the event, which was held at the Clarion Hotel.
Rosenberg said the meetings are held annually to provide an opportunity for local officials and state policy makers to "be in direct conversation." As many local officials are part-time volunteers, it's hard for them to make the trek to the Statehouse to meet with their representatives, he said.
"This is an opportunity to bring a piece of Boston to each of you," Rosenberg said.
Belchertown Selectmen Kenneth E. Elstein said he was there to learn more about regionalization opportunities, and also because he is a staff member for the Hampshire Council of Governments, which serves 13 towns including Belchertown. Elstein said his town already has saved "hundreds of thousands" from its membership with the Hampshire Council of Governments; over the past three years, the town saved $347,000 by buying electricity through the council at wholesale rates.
Another Belchertown selectman, and also chairman of the Hampshire Council, William R. Barnett, told the crowd that the council is moving forward with an initiative to bring the electricity program to homeowners as well. Barnett introduced the council's new director, Todd D. Ford, who said the council also is focusing on bringing solar power to communities.
"We're focusing on creating new regional solutions to some of our local issues," Ford said. "All the things in your town budgets that we are struggling to pay."
Linda L. Dunlavy, executive director of the Franklin Regional Council of Governments, said she was happy that theme of the meeting was regionalization.
"That's really what gets our heart pumping at the Franklin Regional Council of Governments," Dunlavy said.
Her council serves 26 towns. She offered several examples of savings by regionalization: eight school districts in Franklin County saved $130,000 by combining their general liability insurance, and some towns and schools saved 85 percent compared to what they paid before by doing a cooperative bid for such things as fire alarm testing and elevator maintenance.
The keynote speaker was Lt. Gov. Timothy P. Murray, who said Western Massachusetts "leads on a lot of different fronts, and regionalization is a great example."
Murray said regionalization helps provides efficiencies in local government.

You know, the guys and gals in brimmed hats who run the national parks. They do a pretty good job of keeping tourists in line.
Recently, they even ticketed people for walking too close to Old Faithful, after some webcam watcher a thousand miles away blew the whistle.
Well, there is a branch of the Interior department that does have a sense of humor.
That would be the Bureau of Land Management. If you want proof, just look at this photo. The sign in the photo came out of some Interior department workshop, at the request of the BLM.
The BLM has joint custody of Idaho's Craters of the Moon National Monument with the National Park Service.
The original monument, created in 1924, is under management of the National Park Service.
But when President Clinton vastly expanded the boundaries of the monument, he let the BLM maintain management of the lands it had long administered.
I bet the sign maker never got a request for a sign with a named like this from the National Park Service.
I suppose it could have been worse. Apparently, there's a mountain in New Zealand named Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturip-ukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu.
I haven't climbed that one, either.

A story from my pal Matt, defender of truth, protector of justice, promoter of the PBR. Seriously. That's his job. He pushes the Pabst.
So he and some friends decide to skip around the Northwest seeing Ben Folds, who they feel pretty much rules, and I certainly will not disagree. Matt's friend Zach has no hair. And, thus, he looks a little like Moby. People mistake him for Moby.
Seeing an opportunity in this, apparently Ben Folds brings Zach on stage ... as Moby. Then kicks him off the stage, because while Moby can play keys, Zach can't. There's video.
But wait, there's more. The same thing happened in Tacoma. There's a story. It's way down at the end, but it's there.
Well done, Ben Folds. Well done.

The St. Tammany Parish school district took a moment to honor veterans Thursday evening, hosting a program that featured music, skits and speeches. Veterans Day is Monday, Nov. 11.
The Pearl River High School TAP Theatre Students presented a skit on the meaning of the day - the holiday initially was created to mark the end of World War I and was called Armistice Day - and the Fontainebleu Junior High School Band played a rousing medley of music reflecting all branches of the military.
School Board member Ronald Betterncourtt, a veteran of the U.S. Marines, read a resolution honoring veterans. A School Board committee later unanimously adopted the resolution.
U.S. Army Lt. Col. Terry Douglas, who leads the Junior ROTC program at Fontainebleau High School, gave the keynote address and said he is proud to be able to help young students become better citizens.
"It is my honor to be considered an American veteran,'' he said.

Co-authored by Richard Barrett
Strange as it sounds, the recent collapse of the economy was predicted in a nursery rhyme. Every child in past generations learned it, although I don't know if they do now.
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
But what are these values, exactly?
The Barrett Values Centre has set as its mission finding out the common values that unite a society. These values cross political divides. They form a basis for the kind of national unity Barack Obama campaigned to restore. Here's a summary of what the pollsters found:
"Out of a list of nearly one hundred values, Democrats and Republicans selected six of the same top ten values. At the top of all Americans' list is a desire for accountability....the study indicates that Americans want more focus on the common good. They want to take care of future generations and the elderly. They want employment opportunities and affordable housing. Not surprisingly, six years since the start of the Iraq war, people want peace."
Before taking too much hope from this list, one needs to read further. The pollsters asked people to choose from a list of positive and negative factors to describe their current experience of national culture. Of the top ten items chosen, all were negative. Corruption received the highest number of votes. Blame and bureaucracy were also high on the list.
People indicated that materialism and poverty plague a nation that is squandering its resources. This is a disturbing but accurate portrait of the current situation, viewing it from both sides, aspiration and realism. We aspire to peace but keep running two foreign wars. We aspire to accountability but keep operating the same corrupt system of lobbyists and influence peddling, outrageous CEO salaries and otherworldly bonuses as a reward for unbridled greed. How can we close the gap?
Richard Barrett, Founder and Chairman of the Barrett Values Centre, is a firm believer that shared values will win out, and he cites President Obama's call to unity as a guide. Others may be more pessimistic, but the deeper question is, Do we have any other choice? The possibility of a united America is still championed by Obama, despite the obvious way in which conservative Republicans pulled the wool over his eyes by pretending to welcome participation in the stimulus plan and then voting against it en bloc. The chairman of the party congratulated Republican congressmen for laying "a beautiful goose egg" on Obama's desk, referring to the fact that the recovery plan, larded with tax cuts as a concession to conservatives, garnered not a single vote on the Republican side in the House.
The minority party in both houses crows in public about skunking the stimulus package, secretly hoping it will fail so that they can crow again in the 2010 midterm election about not having voted for it. Radio commentators like Rush Limbaugh don't bother with being tactful; they openly want Obama to fail, which is like wanting the Titanic to sink even though you happen to be a passenger on it.
Throughout the Great Depression, FDR's administration had to fight against staunch Republican opposition, which would have killed Social Security, the FDIC, and many other government programs we take for granted. Why does the right wing want to strip society of any kind of safety net? Because they have forgotten that we are all in the same boat.
It's as simple as that. The whole debate over values comes down to the common good. We can differ about what the common good is, but deciding to do nothing, hoarding personal privilege, taking advantage of the weak, voting for the team instead of the truth, and paying lip service to religion while sabotaging the welfare of the poor and underprivileged -- all of that is unacceptable now. One wonders when the sizable section of politicians, bankers, and entrenched elites will wake up and realize the harm they are doing. If they know of any society in history that survived after its core values collapsed, I'd be curious to know its name.

Here's a wakeup call for narrow-minded federal officials who believe quagga mussels and other invasive species laying waste to Great Lakes ecosystems is a regional problem: Quaggas are now wreaking havoc on lakes and streams in Nevada and California.
Transoceanic freighters that were allowed to dump filthy, untreated ballast water in the Great Lakes for nearly five decades delivered quaggas to the lakes. Quaggas and their cousins, zebra mussels, have since hitchhiked rides to western waters on the hulls of pleasure boats.
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel lays out the situation in a thorough article by Dan Egan.
Now that Nevada and California are under siege from quagga mussels, maybe Congress and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will get serious about regulating ballast water discharges.

Auckland's Halloween central
Wednesday 31 Oct 2012 5:01 p.m.
Halloween is often called an American tradition, which it isn't. Its origins are probably Celtic, and may date back as far as a thousand years.
But what's nice about it is that when did some kids you don't know last come and knock on your door?
No one does any more.
Homes are islands now, cut off from their own communities and neighbours and their children are strangers.
And if once a year junior from down the road comes and knocks on your door how can that be a bad thing?
Watch the video.

Through extensive work with ports, public entities, and transportation-sector clients on some of the country's largest harbors, bays and river systems, the attorneys of Jackson Gilmour & Dobbs, PC have developed a unique capacity to handle extremely complex natural resource damages (NRD) matters. NRD claims may encompass injuries to bays, rivers and other surface waters, wetlands, sediments and soil, groundwater, wildlife, fish, birds and other biota - as well as the economic consequences of such injuries - associated with hazardous substances and environmental degradation. Thus, injuries to natural resources can have a substantial impact upon port authorities, the channels of commerce and the public, and claims for such damages can be truly significant.
Through handling multiple, significant NRD claims across the country, our attorneys have gained the education, knowledge and experience necessary to provide our clients with exceptional service and counsel at these very complex sites. We routinely work with many of the country's preeminent experts in a variety of disciplines involved in NRD assessment and damages matters. Moreover, our representation of State trustees, port authorities, and the regulated community allows us an understanding of NRD matters that is truly uncommon.

Sligo Rovers continue to strengthen their squad ahead of the start of the new season by signing Danny Ledwith from Shamrock Rovers and extending Ross Gaynor's current contract.
Ledwith, 22, is a left-back that previously played for UCD but was released by the Hoops at the end of last season.
Nevertheless Sligo manager Ian Baraclough is confident he has signed a talented player and said: "Danny is a player I first noticed when he was at UCD. He is comfortable on the ball, has a very good left-foot and he's a kid that wants to progress.
"He made the wrong decision signing for Shamrock Rovers. It was a big move that came too soon perhaps.
"It will do him no harm in a way that he knows what it is like to be in the environment of a club that has aspirations and expectations of winning trophies."
On Gaynor's re-signing, Baraclough said: "Ross joined the club as a winger but I feel he is better at left-back. He has the ability to play in the two positions on the left side.
"He has a great left foot, he can go and attack with enthusiasm and he wants to get more from himself next season. Ross has contributed a lot to the squad over the last two years.
"He can improve defensively, he needs to show more consistency in his game and that is in his own opinion. He picked up a bad knee injury during the course of 2012 that kept him out for ten weeks and next year he'll look to have a big year and it's great to have him on board."

A visit to the Mitad del Mundo is commonly combined with a trip up to the rim of the extinct volcano of Pululahua, whose 34-square-kilometre crater – one of the continent's largest – has been protected since 1966 as a geobotanical reserve. Its unusual topography and associated microclimates not only support rich, cultivated land on the valley floor, but also lush cloudforests, 260 types of plants and a large variety of orchids. Outlooks on the rim afford views over bucolic scenery within the crater, beautiful networks of fields and small settlements squeezed around the two volcanic cones of Pondoña and Chivo, all cradled by the thickly forested and deeply gullied crater walls. It's best to get up here early in the morning as thick clouds engulf the crater later in the day.

I'm embarking on a personal journey, and I'd love for you to join me. Consider it an inner-self road trip with lots of interesting pit stops along the way.
I recently spent 4 days in Ojai, California at the Elevate Mastermind Retreat with my coach, Molly Mahar of Stratejoy, and 12 other women who are going through big transitions in 2014. Fair warning: I'll be talking about this group a lot in the future.
I know it sounds cheesy, but this retreat was truly life changing, and the experience continues all year long with virtual retreats and more coaching to push me out of my comfort zone.
So why am I telling you this?
As one of my followers, you can expect big—no, wait—MASSIVE changes this year from me and the products and services I provide to you to help you get the most out of your life.
These changes are still under wraps and strictly top secret (shhhh!), but what I can share with you is that I'm doing my own version of life editing…just like how I help my clients clean up their lives.
Now, a lot of people (that is, other coaches) have told me that a life coach needs to represent the "After" that potential clients are looking for. A life coach is supposed to have her shit together because no one wants to hire a coach who's not perfect, right?
Also, coaches aren't supposed to say bad words like shit. Oops.
But let's get real. I'm not perfect, and I'm going through some major transitions. Heck, that's why I have a life coach of my own!
I'm going out on a limb here and saying that I think you want me to be REAL.
The most-viewed posts on my website are the ones where I've opened up and talked about the hard stuff, such as my suicide attempt.
As I edit my life this year, I'll be sharing my successes and challenges with my business, my weight, my money, my marriage, and more.
And one of the first things I want to talk about is my lack of friends. I've mentioned before that I have no real girl friends that I see regularly or hang out with on the weekends.
My first challenge in my life-editing quest is to get out of the damn house and make some friends already!
But there was something I had do first.
If you've gone through the Editor Session program, you know that you can't add in the good things that are missing in your life until you delete the bad stuff that's holding you back.
I had a lot of negative influences in my life in the form of Facebook friends, people I followed through email newsletters, other blogs, etc. Not all of these people were nasty to me (though some were), but for whatever reason, I didn't feel good about myself when I read their statuses or received their newest blog posts in my inbox.
I spent last week editing out these online acquaintances, frenemies, Debbie Downers, and one-uppers. All in all, I unfollowed or deleted more than 100 people from my online life.
Now my Facebook stream is full of people I actually care about—and ones I've met in person! I'm only receiving email newsletters from people who add value to my life. The blogs I read build me up instead of making me feel like a loser.
My point is that it was easy for me to fool myself into believing that I had friends when I really only had pixels and "Likes." It might not be the same for you, but those online "friendships" aren't in line with where I'm going and who I want to be this year.
I feel so light and alive after cleaning up my online connections!
Honestly, I expected some of these people to email me and demand to know why I unsubscribed from their lists or aren't commenting on their oh-so-important Facebook statuses…but so far, no one has.
Maybe that's another lesson for me to learn: I might be negatively affected by these online peeps, but they don't seem to notice me at all.
The world doesn't revolve around me—go figure!
Here's my challenge for you.
Ask yourself what you're getting out of your social media accounts, blogs you follow, and online communities.
- Do you feel better or worse about yourself when you interact with those people online?
- Are you following anyone who triggers your anger or makes you feel jealous?
- How would you feel if you cut these toxic people out of your online life?
- Do you have a strong, supportive group of friends that you see regularly in person?
- How can you foster offline friendships in your life?
I have so much more life editing to do, but I gotta say, deleting these bad online friendships and refocusing on in-person relationships is already making me feel like a million bucks.
Do you expect me to be the "perfect coach" or do you want to follow me through my personal struggles?
How do you balance online and offline friendships?
In the comments below, share your tips for connecting with real live people.

Sildenafil (Includes Viagra) ↔ Cardiovascular Disease
Severe Potential Hazard, High plausibility
Applies to: Cardiovascular Disease, Hypotension, History - Cerebrovascular Disease, Cerebral Vascular Disorder, History - Myocardial Infarction
Due to the potential cardiac risk associated with sexual activity in patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease, treatment for erectile dysfunction is generally not recommended in men for whom sexual activity is inadvisable because of their cardiovascular status. With respect to sildenafil, physicians should also consider the vasodilatory effect of the drug and whether it may adversely affect patients with underlying cardio- and/or cerebrovascular conditions, in particular those who have suffered a myocardial infarction, stroke, or life-threatening arrhythmia within the last 6 months; those with resting hypotension (BP < 90/50) or hypertension (BP > 170/110); and those with unstable angina associated with cardiac failure or coronary artery disease. There are no controlled clinical data on the safety or efficacy of sildenafil in such patients. In healthy volunteers, sildenafil has been shown to produce a mean maximum decrease of 8.4/5.5 mm Hg in supine blood pressure. This decrease is unrelated to dose or plasma drug levels. Other adverse cardiovascular effects reported include angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, AV block, ventricular arrhythmia, tachycardia, palpitation, hypotension, postural hypotension, syncope, cerebral thrombosis, cerebrovascular hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack, cardiac arrest, heart failure, and hypertension. Many of these events occurred in patients with cardiovascular risk factors and during or shortly after sexual activity.

- Conti CR, Pepine CJ, Sweeney M "Efficacy and safety of sildenafil citrate in the treatment of erectile dysfunction in patients with ischemic heart disease." Am J Cardiol 83 (1999): c29-34
- Goldenberg MM "Safety and efficacy of sildenafil citrate in the treatment of male erectile dysfunction." Clin Ther 20 (1998): 1033-48
Sildenafil (Includes Viagra) ↔ Liver Disease
Severe Potential Hazard, High plausibility
Applies to: Liver Disease
The plasma clearance of sildenafil may be decreased in patients with liver disease, resulting in drug accumulation. In volunteers with cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A and B), the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased by 47% and the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) increased by 84% compared with age-matched volunteers without liver disease. Therapy with sildenafil should be administered cautiously in patients with significantly impaired hepatic function. A starting oral dose of 25 mg should be considered.

Sildenafil (Includes Viagra) ↔ Renal Dysfunction
Severe Potential Hazard, High plausibility
Applies to: Renal Dysfunction
The plasma clearance of sildenafil may be decreased in patients with severe renal impairment, resulting in drug accumulation. In volunteers with creatinine clearance below 30 mL/min, the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) approximately doubled compared with age-matched volunteers without renal impairment. Therapy with sildenafil should be administered cautiously in patients with significantly impaired renal function. A starting oral dose of 25 mg should be considered.

Sildenafil (Includes Viagra) ↔ Priapism
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility
Applies to: Myeloproliferative Disorders, Sickle Cell Anemia
Prolonged erection greater than 4 hours and priapism (painful erections greater than 6 hours) have been reported infrequently during postmarketing use of sildenafil. Priapism may result in penile tissue damage and permanent loss of potency if not treated promptly. Sildenafil should be used cautiously in patients with conditions that may predispose them to priapism such as sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia. If an erection persists longer than 4 hours, the patient should seek immediate medical assistance.

Sildenafil (Includes Viagra) ↔ Retinitis Pigmentosa
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility
Applies to: Retinitis Pigmentosa
The use of sildenafil, particularly at higher dosages or elevated plasma drug levels, may be associated with transient impairment of color discrimination (blue/green) and blue- or color-tinged vision. Sildenafil inhibits phosphodiesterase-6 (PDE6), which is involved in phototransduction in the retina. There are no controlled clinical data on the safety of sildenafil in patients with retinitis pigmentosa, a minority of whom may have genetic disorders of retinal phosphodiesterases. Therapy with sildenafil should be administered cautiously in such patients.

At the first media timeout, Memphis leads UAB 7-6, but that's not the story so far.
This is: Empty seats.
Most of them are at the top of several sections behind the baseline, but still.
I know this Memphis team isn't the Memphis team that dominated the league, but still.
Where are the UAB fans supporting UAB?
Where are the UAB fans supporting one of the best UAB teams in years?
This place should be standing-room only.

The software, called Xgl, uses a computer's graphics chip to give a boost to desktop display features such as transparent objects, 3D effects and zooming windows. But the software could also improve more practical parts of the Linux user interface, such as text display speeds, said Nat Friedman, Novell's vice president of collaboration and desktop engineering.
Friedman acknowledges that some new features made possible with Xgl have been pioneered elsewhere. But he believes the open-source nature of Linux means things will be different this time.
What's new:
Novell is releasing a technology called Xgl that uses a computer's graphics chip to enhance desktop display features of Linux such as transparent objects, 3D effects and zooming windows.
Bottom line:
The technology could give a boost to Linux graphics at a time when rival operating systems are also getting spiffier interfaces.
"It'll be one of those open-source situations where people get a hold of the framework, and we'll get new user interface paradigms to come out," he said. "That's not something people can do on a Mac. I want to see 1,000 flowers bloom here."
The lead Xgl programmer, Novell's David Reveman, released the Xgl source code last month, and on Tuesday, Novell will release the plug-in framework and sample plug-ins, Friedman said. The technology will also be incorporated into the next version of Novell's Suse Linux enterprise products, due to ship in May or June.
Graphics are a central element to the more user-friendly interfaces that software engineers have developed to try to make computers more approachable. The central graphical user interface idea--WIMP, short for windows, icons, menu and pointing devices--has changed little for years.
Recently, though, there's been a burst of graphics innovation. New visual features have been built into Apple Computer's Mac OS X, and a new graphics infrastructure is set to arrive in Microsoft's Vista update to Windows, due by the end of the year. Vista employs a graphics engine called Windows Presentation Foundation, code-named Avalon. The operating system will also include a feature called Sidebar that compares to the small graphical utilities called widgets in Mac OS X.
In spite of this, Directions on Microsoft analyst Michael Cherry wants something that he believes polished graphics have yet to provide. All the operating systems are getting equally fancy graphical abilities, he said, "but the real winner is the person who figures out how to make us more productive."
Novell: It's practical, too
Friedman acknowledged that much of the motivation for Xgl is to provide features that are only skin deep--but appearances can be important, he argued. For example, Xgl permits windows to zoom liquidly into the taskbar when they're minimized, and to zoom back out when needed. It's a visual stunt that he believes makes it easier to understand the system.
"Those little things give a desktop a sense of physicality," Friedman said.
To the same end, another module gives a new view of Linux's ability to show applications on different virtual desktops. For example, there can be one desktop display for e-mail, another for Web browsing and a third related to a programming project. With Xgl, the virtual desktops can be affixed to the faces of a virtual cube; when a user switches, the cube rotates to show new views. "It makes it clear to people what a virtual workspace is," Friedman argued.
Another use comes up when switching among windows using the keyboard. An Xgl plug-in can show a miniaturized version of the file, so a person can see in detail what he or she is switching to. Similarly, Xgl permits fast zooming of windows, a boon to magnification software that helps those with impaired vision, Friedman said.
Xgl is becoming a part of the X.org software project, which handles many basic graphics elements for Linux. In fact, because X.org also is used by many Unix varieties as well as by Linux, Xgl conceivably could be used to spruce up Sun Microsystems' Solaris operating system, or various BSD versions of Unix.
The software is already "largely integrated" with the X.org source code, Friedman said. Novell plans to announce the Xgl contribution to X.org on Tuesday, in conjunction with the X Developer Conference this week in Santa Clara, Calif. Reveman will give a presentation about the software at the conference on Wednesday.
Improving the Linux interface is a Novell priority. The Waltham, Mass.-based company acquired Linux desktop specialist Ximian in 2003. In an , the company has urged Linux programmers to watch videos of real-world computer users struggling to accomplish basic tasks.
But one thorny issue in Linux user interface design refuses to go away: the split between KDE and GNOME, two different but widely used packages that provide Linux with user interface controls and utilities. That split, more than the lack of eye candy, is a hurdle to Linux desktops becoming more popular, Cherry said.
"I struggle with whether I should use GNOME or KDE. There aspects of both I like and both I hate," the analyst said.
Because both GNOME and KDE use X.org, Xgl sidesteps that particular issue, Friedman said.

HARRISBURG - Harrisburg City Council members Tuesday night renewed federal grants to three non-profit groups that were facing the loss of the grants under city staff recommendations.
Under the new ordinance distributing $2.3 million in Community Development Block Grant money, the Community Action Commission will get $25,000, Habitat for Humanity will get $90,000 and Christian Recovery Aftercare Ministry will get $35,000. Council members also boosted the amount going to the Camp Curtin branch of the YMCA to $125,000 from $100,000.
The council zeroed out a program to provide $150,000 in financial assistance to landlords seeking to rehabilitate their properties. The council also reduced money earmarked for emergency demolition to $295,000 from $320,000 to gain the necessary cash for the additional grants for the next federal fiscal year, which starts Oct 1.
Council members also approved $129,063 in emergency shelter grants to be split equally among three agencies. In previous years, Christian Churches United got a larger chunk of the federal money than the Shalom House and YWCA.
This year, city council members sought clarification on whether they had to give Christian Churches United the largest piece of the pie because the agency provides the area's intake, assessment and coordination duties. City staff members said the money could be split equally.
The council voted to spend $640,434 in Home Investment Partnership money without any changes from staff recommendations.
In all, the council approved the distribution of $3 million in federal dollars.

The Main Street Electrical Parade — the granddaddy of all the Disney parks parades — will be returning in early June to the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World for a limited and much anticipated engagement.
Over the years, Disney has rotated the Main Street Electrical Parade and SpectroMagic — both resplendent with their twinkling lights and techno music soundtracks — in its parks worldwide. The parades usually serve as a prelude to the nightly fireworks show.
The Main Street Electrical Parade was last seen in Walt Disney World in 2001. The updated version will feature new LED lights (those Christmas tree bulbs of years past were showing a lot of wear and tear) as well as new audio technology.
The new parade will introduce new floats and new characters (including Pinocchio and Snow White) to the mix. The lead float will feature Tinker Bell in a magical balloon basket.
As part of the Summer Nightastic fun, the nighttime fireworks show also will get a makeover.
A few weeks ago, Goofy about Disney explored the many changes that lines at Disney parks have seen over the years. We've recently learned about another, less publicized, one.
This one allows guests with young children to enjoy many attractions without completely abandoning their offspring or one parent enjoying the fun while the other is left outside babysitting.
Let's say a mom, a dad and a young child are on the line for Soarin'. All they have to do is ask a castmember for a swap ticket. One parent then goes on the ride, leaving the child with the other parent. When the first parent hops off the ride, he or she takes the child and the other parent goes on the ride without waiting.
The response has been favorable among those we've talked to about the feature.

BEREA, Ohio -- All signs are pointing to Jake Delhomme returning to the starting lineup Sunday against the Falcons after recovering from his high ankle sprain.
"He should practice on Wednesday, coach Eric Mangini said Monday. "I thought we had a really good chance [against the Bengals]. I want to see with a bigger load how he responds. That's where we are on Monday. Hopefully we'll be saying the same thing on Thursday."
Mangini said Delhomme's return shouldn't diminish what Seneca Wallace did over the last three weeks. Wallace went 1-2, but in addition to beating the Bengals, engineered two touchdown drives against the stingy Ravens defense and earned a 103 rating.
Against the Bengals, he launched a 24-strike to tight end Evan Moore and used his legs to avoid the rush and keep drives alive.
"He's gotten more and more comfortable running the offense," said Mangini. "And I don't want anybody to think that by putting Jake in this is some knock on Seneca. I think Seneca has done a great job. And he's played well and he's played well against really tough defenses and I have no problem with him starting [and] playing."
Overall, Wallace completed 52 of 85 attempts for 554 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions for a 82.2 rating.
"With the way he's played, we've decreased the amount of turnovers the last couple of games," said Mangini. "He's done a really outstanding job in a pretty tough situation coming in after Game One and having a three-game run."
Wallace said he's not concerned about relinquishing his starting role.
"That's not my job," he said after the Bengals game. "I just continue to lead these guys the best way I can. The coaching staff and everybody else will take care of that."
Surgery completed: Doctors said D'Qwell Jackson underwent successful surgery in New York Monday to repair a partially torn pectoral muscle. He said last week he's determined to come back from his second pectoral surgery in less than a year.
Feeling positive: Mangini enjoyed finally seeing the fruits of the team's labor against the Bengals. "I like this group of guys a lot," he said. "It's a positive group. It's a determined group. It's how I envisioned a team to be."
He said the victory was important "because they deserved to win. I really believe that. Over the first three weeks there was no sense of 'woe is me.' It was just 'all right, let's get back in here, let's get this fixed, let's keep moving forward.'"
He said he sensed the guys were getting angry in the fourth quarter while protecting the lead again.
"It was 'we are not letting this happen again,'" he said. "There was an absolute sense across the sidelines of 'no, no, it's done, no.' You can look in people's eyes and know what the mindset is. I looked across at a bunch of guys that were determined."
A hard man to stop: Linebacker Matt Roth had a sensational game, six tackles, three quarterback hits and two sacks, including the one that got the Bengals off the field for good to preserve the victory.
"He's just a relentless, tough guy," said Mangini, "The one thing you know about Matt is, he may mess up a play, but someone's getting hit. ... So his mistakes, they're going to get fixed, they need to get fixed and he fixed them in terms of jumping offside. But even when he does [make] them, he does them at such a tempo that you appreciate that."
Said tight end Ben Watson: "That's the main reason I'm glad training camp is over, 'cause I don't have to deal with Matt Roth and everybody else on every other team does. ... When he wants to get going and he wants to bust through there and make a play, there's very few people that can stand in his way."
Pointing in the right direction: Scott Fujita, who delivered a sack, forced fumble and blocked field goal, elaborated on his comment that all the victory does is guarantee that the Browns won't go 0-16.
"I guess one thing I forgot to mention is that it also guaranteed that we'd also feel a lot better in the morning," he said. "But really, it's about taking things in stride.
"It feels great to get the first win. We put in a lot of time to get that win, but again, you can't blow it out of proportion. We should've won the first three games. That's the bottom line. Now we have to find a way to build on this and get things moving in the right direction."
Fujita attributed the Browns' four sacks and seven QB hits to four-man rush package installed by defensive line coach Bryan Cox. "It goes back to the plan, guys executing it and I think Carson [Palmer] held the ball a little bit longer than he normally does, and that gave some guys some time to get there."
On his sack and forced fumble: "That was actually kind of a weird play, because I thought he had released the ball. I was on kind of a stunt and when I wrapped around, I saw him pump and I thought the ball was out. That's why I didn't completely unload on him. As I was approaching him, I saw it was still right there in his hand, so I just barely bumped him and the thing came out.
"I actually came off on the sideline and asked a couple guys, 'what the hell just happened?'"
A lesson learned: Watson felt bad about drawing a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct call after Moore's TD reception for leaping into the stands.

"I'm really upset about it, honestly," he said. "I wasn't trying to get a penalty or anything. I was really just trying to jump on [Moore]. I was just really excited for him. It was his first NFL touchdown, and it was an awesome play. I guess my excitement got the best of me unfortunately. It really wasn't my intention to do anything against the rules."
It was a second consecutive week with a major penalty for Watson, who had a roughing call last week.
"It better be the last if I want to keep my career going," he said.
