In his monthly poetry podcast, Radio Free Albion, Tony Trigilio interviews poets about their recently released or forthcoming books. Always informal, each interview is a conversation—two poets talking about the work and play of the creative process and showcasing some of the most innovative new work in contemporary poetry. Transcription by Cameron Decker.
Tony Trigilio: Hi CM, how are you doing?
CM Burroughs: Hi Tony, I'm great. You can't see me, but I'm sitting up a little straighter in my chair for this interview.
TT: You can't see me, but I put on my sneakers for this interview, so that I can feel like I'm out in the world professionally. People don't know that I do these interviews only with audio, so all I can see are people's Skype icons. But I'm wearing shoes, definitely. I should let everybody know that CM was one of the first people I talked to about doing an interview on this show, way back when I hardly had any audio equipment, and the podcast was just some impossible idea I had in my head. So I'm glad we're finally doing this.
CMB: Yeah, me too. I've always thought about the radio as a great space. I love listening to it, so why not, you know?
TT: I think the podcast idea comes from being a kid, and how really late at night I used to listen to talk radio. Not like the crazy talk radio we have today, but just late-night people in far-flung cities talking about books and music. I thought: "Wow, there are people out there. I'd like to do this."
CMB: I wish we could get back to that.
TT: Podcasts, in their best incarnations, can do that, I think, and I hope this one does that. Let's talk about The Vital System. When you think of your ideal reader for this book, what would you want the reader to know about you as a person or as a writer or both, before they jump into the book?
CMB: I like to think about the reader as being very open. I'd like the reader to know that what is in the book, for me, is very true, and so if they can walk into the book feeling "OK, I'm entering something that's completely honest right now in how I experience it"—to just be with some kind of openness. That's what I really appreciate from a reader.
TT: I love that idea, that I'm coming as a reader into a space of openness and truth, and at the same time we know that we might be lying all the time in our poems. But it's like a kind of emotional honesty. Is that what you're getting at?
CMB: Definitely. With experimental poetry, there's so much architecture happening. We create with a certain kind of honesty too, but it's certainly the stories that might be most overtly trying for honesty in this book.
TT: There are so many ways to think of what an experimental poem is, and so many contending definitions. To start off with saying "an experimental poem is a place where there is so much architecture happening"—that's true. In a poem that's a little more, for lack of a better word, "mainstream," you're in a place where you kind of know where all the rooms are and what they look like and what the structure looks like. But in an avant-garde poem, you have no idea how low the ceilings are going to be or what room you're going to turn to next.
CMB: Right. I think folks sometimes underestimate what lyric poetry can do and does accomplish in its best forms, only because there are so many decisions that have to be made when we're not occupying the conventional forms. And so we are coming up with rules and philosophies behind what it is that we're doing. And I try to teach students who are writing lyrically to have these rules and philosophies behind the choices they make, as small as "When will I use a comma" and "In what cases can I change how that usage happens." That's important.
TT: And I think it's important for the reader to have that kind of faith, that the poet has a set of rules for when they're going to use a comma, as you were saying, and then also a set of rules for when to pull the rug out from under the reader who says, "I turned the corner, and the lights were off! I thought the lights were going to be on there." It's something that Julie Carr had said about the serial poem. You come into a new room in the serial poem, and it's like a room with the lights off, and you turn them on and it's an entirely different kind of room. And I think that works really well for the serial poem, but I think for a lot of experimental work too. I'm thinking more specifically about the book. The poem "Dear Incubator," is a real touchstone for the book. It seems to me like everything else in the book emanates from what this poem is doing.
CMB: The wild thing is that I wrote "Dear Incubator," last, really. My friend and reader Douglas Kearney, who is also a poet, he read my book several times in its different iterations. As it was coming to its final self, or something like it, he said that he felt something was missing. It was something that put the body forward—put a mythology about the body forward that the other poems responded to and responded from. It didn't take me but a moment, while he was speaking, to think of my premature birth and the figure of the incubator. I had always wanted to write about it, but somehow the idea and the moment and the opportunity don't all come together until these unexpected moments. So I finally had this way to write about the incubator that made complete and utter sense to me.
TT: One of the things I love about the poem is that the incubator is a machine. Of course, it's not something cold—it kept you alive. As a reader we're experiencing it as a machine, but it's just so intimate. It's as intimate as the body in the poem.
CMB: This will be some experiential information that I've never shared before but, when I was young, and I'm talking a young kid up until my teen years, I would have these moments where I was going to sleep at night and the environment would seem to grow larger around me. And it really didn't matter if my eyes were open or closed—it was just this visceral sensibility that I was either growing smaller or the air around me was growing larger. I've always equated that back to the incubator, because the sense of it was actually really frightening when it would happen. That's important. That must be it. What other small space did I occupy? [laughs]
TT: That was one of the questions I wanted to ask: How palpable are your memories of the incubator? And you're kind of getting at that right now. They're coming to you in these palpable fragments. Or they came to you in palpable fragments when you were younger.
CMB: I remember distinctly one time I cried because of this experience of feeling something looming around me and not being able to stop that sense. It's interesting now how contentious my relationship with the incubator is, in that there is love for that other womb, but it also is a very frightening space to be quarantined or secluded.
TT: It's this terrifying, frightening space. It's also pre-verbal too—yet there it is, rendered in language.
CMB: Yeah. My parents actually had tapes recorded of their voices and jazz and everything, and they played those while they weren't at the hospital with me.
TT: Now this is a stretch, but do you have any memories of warm human voices or jazz at all in that terrifying space, or is that too much to ask of your memory?
CMB: Actually I do not, which is how I found out. I asked my parents, "What did you do? Were you always there? When you weren't there, what was happening?" and so they did tell me about the recordings they would make.
TT: How did that feel? I mean they're talking about you and your earliest days on the planet, and you don't remember any of this. Did it feel like they were really talking about you, or did it feel like they were almost talking about someone else?
CMB: Someone else, actually. My parents, they're very factual about my birth. And I'm sure, at the time, I was dangerously close to death a couple of times, so I'm sure they were highly emotional and just trying to understand how to keep me alive and how the doctors would do it. And so when they relay information to me now, it's all very "Yes, we played these tapes for you," but it's not any more connected with an emotional intimacy or something that's fraught like it might have been back then in 1981.
TT: You knew they were feeling it then, and now they're just giving you the "Here's what happened, here's what we did, here's what occurred" sort of thing.
CMB: Yeah.
TT: As you talk now about your parents filling in the gaps about what went on in those early days, have they had any significant response to this poem over any of the others in the book?
CMB: No, no. My parents enjoy that I'm a poet, and they appreciate that I write, but we don't honestly get into the poems as specific spaces of dialogue.
TT: That was sort of my experiences with my folks. One time I did a reading and afterward my father said, "That was really good!" For a half-second I thought, "Wow, are we going to have a dialogue about the poems? That would be pretty cool." And after that pause he said, "You're a very good public speaker!"
CMB: [laughs]
TT: It was really sweet. I said, "Well, that's my job," and he said, "I know, and you do it well." And I said, "Well, thank you very much, dad." And it was great. You were talking about how "Dear Incubator," establishes a kind of mythology about the body in the book, and how the body is vital to the book. How would you describe what the mythology of the body is in the book?
CMB: It starts with the incubator. There's this incredible amount of tension roaming throughout the book, and it really comes from a place of desire and want. I just wrote an essay about this, actually, for Joshua Marie Wilkinson and The Volta. I can't understand or explain that level of want but can say it must be the want to be alive enough to experience everything that comes in the text. And so you have the body that one desires to be, and then the body that desires to experience itself in relationships and being gendered and sexed, etc.
TT: Yeah, it's a desired body and a desiring body at the same time. In literary-critical circles we usually just talk about desire, but I like when I'm in a situation where I'm reading a book of poems and I feel the role of the body is both desired and desiring. It feels more fully human to me. As you're talking about that openness of the body (I know somebody else had mentioned there is a vulnerability of the body, and you talk about that in the poems too), it's also a fragility. The body is fragile in the book, but the fragility is part of what makes the body one of the vital systems. The fragility is vital rather than bringing the body down. Can you talk a little bit about the title poem, "The Vital System," and its importance to the book?
CMB: Sure. You talk about this vulnerability, which is definitely part of the whole text, but there's a moment in "Dear Incubator," where I think about the skin, my skin, and it was translucent skin. My viscera was able to be seen when I was premature in that incubator. And so I think of how bare, vulnerable, subject to the outside something like that is and say, "Well, why not carry it through the other poems, let that body speak through the other poems?" "Dear Incubator," was, again, the origin story that actually was the last poem to be written, and so who knows if, in part of myself, I knew that the whole time. But it certainly seemed to be a poem that gave reason to the need for speech in all the other poems in the book. This notion of memory, of fear, of appreciation, of needing to articulate something about a state or states of being.
TT: That moment that you mention in "Dear Incubator," where you talk about the skin being translucent: I'm looking at the book right now—"My skin was translucent," and then that next moment, "anyone could see me working." It's just that vulnerability, but the body's working! Anyone could see me working, keeping myself alive under really terrifying circumstances. That does seem part of the vulnerability that's also really powerful in the book. I want us to hear a poem in a second, but before we do that, can you say something a bit more about the poem "The Vital System"? Does that extend what we've been saying about the body, or do you feel like it takes what we've been saying in a different direction?
CMB: It extends it. That's a strange little poem, I have to admit. It's so vastly experimental, I feel that it's not one that I read all the time. I have to read it very slowly for people to occupy it, I think. It is about the body, but it turns very much toward the female body (in that this is how it was created), and possibly that notion of the origin story again, but also in states of subjugation. I might say, "The Vital System" articulates that body politic.
TT: From the state of subjugation?
CMB: Right.
TT: I like thinking about it that way, from that state of subjugation, and I also feel as a reader there are some sharp edges there. Like you said, you have to read it very slowly to let people occupy it at readings, and I think, yeah, if people aren't careful, they could get kind of cut on those sharp edges. Which I think is also good. I like to get cut on the sharp edges of a poem. I can fix the wound—it's a good wound from reading. Let's hear a poem either from the book or a new poem.
CMB: Do you want to hear "Dear Incubator,"?
TT: I'm going to speak for the millions of people listening to this podcast all over the world and say, "Yes, why not?" [laughs]
Dear Incubator,
At six months' gestation, I am a fabrication born far too soon. My body, a stone in a steaming
I remember you.
—A black kaleidoscope. Turn. Turn. The dangerous loom of the loom of you. Patterns pressing
upon—me inside. Nothing luminous as my mother's womb. This second attempt at formation; a turn.
The nurse slides her wedding band past my hand, beyond my elbow and over my shoulder. I am
1lb. 12oz. and already feminine. Knowing nothing of it. I am trying to be clear—
I was first fascinated then afraid of the shapes' rise from your darkness. And their growth toward me. I wailed under their weight. My eyes were shuttered by lids. My skin was translucent; anyone could see me working.
How can I ask you from inside the poem—what senses did I have so early… So unformed.
I was tangled in tubes (that kept my hear pumping; that kept my lungs from collapsing; food to the body; oxygen to the brain).
You are everything and nothing.
A surrogate. A packaging of half-made sensory detail; a past.
I have scars on my belly in shapes of fish…Where sensors tore thin skin. What a tragedy to be powerless. And yet, I controlled the choreography of everyone around me (the check of vitals; arms through the arm ports; my parents' speech; also, there were surgeons).
I am trying to tell you something important. About after they opened you and took me out. I was infected. Could command nothing of my legs. For years.
The surgeons, thin blades shining into nothing. Imagine the cuts—blood spread along the lips of
each, spilling as my skin parts. Someone bringing cotton to catch it.
Is it your fault? I don't know. I was in a state, I've explained. I don't know what you let in…Perhaps. Do you know lovers ask about these scars. Touch these raised scars.
So much has happened. I'm black. I have a dead sister. I love you, but, and believe this,
I mostly want to talk.
TT: At the end of the poem, "Is it your fault, incubator?" (I'll add "incubator"): "I don't know. I was in a state, I've explained. I don't know what you let in…" What did the incubator let in? The question is so abstract; I don't mean it to be ridiculously abstract. I'm thinking like, for a reader, what should a reader be thinking the incubator let in?
CMB: I could say "let in," and I can also think about what does it keep in. If, let's say, the body is trapped in there with all things that made it and are currently making it, then that vulnerability is definitely one of those parts coming in, staying in, being let to stay in.
TT: The book is so physical in the ways we were just talking about, the ways we've been talking about the architecture of all the poems in the book. It's such a physical book, but I don't want to neglect also that your poems are sonic. They tell the reader, "Listen to the sounds—it's worth it, there's music here." What's the relationship, for you, between writing and sound, or writing and music?
CMB: Anecdote: When I was a kid, let's say nine years old, I remember riding in my mother's van. It was a bunch of other kids my age, these popular girls. I was always a bit of a geek. I'm so proud of that now. Some song by Naughty by Nature had come on the radio, and what was happening is I started tapping my foot, but I wasn't tapping my foot to the beat of the song. There was no movement on the beat. It was to the words of the song, which is something I'd always done without thinking about it. I only noticed it that day because around the van the girls started whispering to one another and pointing and teasing me.
TT: [laughs]
CMB: Right? I'm like, "You don't have anything better to do." But it was the beginning of my realizing "Oh, I do this thing, and it's not just this time, but I'm always tapping my foot to words." I do it now, even. And so there's something about music—and maybe this goes back to my parents playing music for me while I was in the incubator, so there's some innate understanding about how sound and melody can work—but it's maybe this notion of how can I create words in such a way that they will allow me to tap my foot to them. And I'm not exclusively talking about meter, but in terms of assonance and alliteration and hidden sounds. What can we do there? I really appreciate music, and there being not only a narrative of the poem, but a narrative of the sounds of the poem.
TT: And like you said, the hidden sounds too. I know what you're describing. It would be very easy to say, "Oh, she's talking about meter." I know that's not what you're not saying, right? You are talking about that, but you said it's also the hidden sounds of a poem. Those are things we can sort of figuratively and sometimes literally tap our feet to. I love the story. It's like "Where do poets come from? Well, we sit in a car, and we do this thing all the time that nobody else is doing, and people look at us and point."
CMB: I was so upset.
TT: Earlier you talked about your friend, the fellow poet Douglas Kearney. I wanted to focus on something he said about your work that I kept coming back to while I was reading the book. He described your work this way: "The narrator of these poems seems to come apart before my eyes; yet she never disintegrates—she teems. Here is vivid grief, livid vulnerability, and bristling sensuality." I returned to this a lot throughout the book, but especially when I was reading some of the poems toward the end, like "Black Memorabilia" and "In the Personal Camp, Eroticism."
CMB: I appreciate Doug, in every possible way. He's an astounding person and poet. But I have to say: The image that is always in my mind when I think of this notion of coming apart but not disintegrating, as Doug says, is a trembling wire. That trembling wire represents my work. It's pulled tight, but not tightly enough to stop the quivering, but it's still wire—it's still a strong material. And he's right. The characters of the book refuse to be hurt in such a way that causes them not to be anymore.
TT: They refuse to be hurt in a way that causes them not to be?
CMB: Right.
TT: And they do that while also being open and vulnerable. When I do interviews, I don't always want to talk about teaching, because not every poet teaches, and we shouldn't always think of it that way, but I'm thinking of that moment when our students are, for lack of a better phrase, developing a voice for the first time. Sometimes in that empowering moment, they'll feel like, "I can't be vulnerable. I have to just be strong and stick my face out there." It's understandable why we'd want to do that, but sometimes that strength can come from being really vulnerable too—being on that wire, like you were saying.
CMB: I actually think I live in that way, if that makes sense, in that I am not a large person by any means; I'm rather petite. So I know in the world I am vulnerable. What makes up my armor is a vulnerable thing. Truthfully, I always hold my chin a bit upwards, so that I think I'm taller than I am. I always see myself in photographs (I'm 5'4", 109 pounds) and I look so much smaller than I conceive myself to be.
TT: I'm afraid I'm going to sound like we're shamans around a fire, which is not what I want the podcast to sound like—but I do think that's where the poems come from. We don't erase that vulnerability from our lives. We know we have to pay bills and stop at a red light, but we have to wear our nerves on the outside sometimes.
CMB: That wire is something that returns to me countless numbers of times. Even in the classroom. Last semester, one of my students said, "What do you mean when you say, 'There has to be something at stake?'"
TT: [laughs] Yes, that phrase.
CMB: Immediately this trembling wire touched into my mind, and I explained that first, but then I also said "There's something in the poem that has the ability to be lost, and there's a fighting for that thing, whatever that might be."
TT: I'm thinking of all the times in class when I'm asked that same question: "Tony, why do you always say 'What's at stake in the poem?'" And then I laugh and say, "God, I know, we always say that, don't we? But there is something at stake here. I want to think that when I read this poem, I'm going to be a little different when I'm done reading it. And that means there was something at stake, and it was communicated to me."
CMB: I think it's something that's said, but it's so important and so real.
TT: Yeah, something that's said that's so real that the reader can't avoid it or the reader has to absorb it, or something like that?
CMB: The thing is, when that question was asked, I was so surprised! I just had to pause for a second, because I was never asked that question before, and I think I took it for granted and thought, "Well of course, everyone knows what this means—'There's something at stake.'" But perhaps not, right?
TT: I love those moments in the classroom. The first time it was said to me, I just found my way for that to make sense to me. But then there were like ten other things that made sense to my fellow classmates that I had to ask about. So as an instructor, I'm like, "OK, I've got to really answer this. This is really good. I'm glad I'm being put on the spot."
CMB: That's the thing though. We might have had a very innate understanding of what it means to have something at stake, but that's not always going to come internally for everyone. So not only was I surprised at it being asked of me, I was surprised at having to come up with a reasonable, clear answer for it.
TT: Yeah, it's that other part. Now I have to answer it reasonably clearly. [laughs] I said earlier how I feel about teaching and poetry—it's not that different from what a lot of other people feel: Teaching and poetry go together well, and it's a really great job for poets to have. I think it makes the poetry better, and being a poet makes the teaching better. But at the same time, it's not always what we do as poets, and I'm always interested in the other ways we've supported ourselves outside the regular route of teaching. I'm wondering, what's the strangest or weirdest job you've ever had?
CMB: I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with my masters in 2007. I had no money, really, and I needed a job to sort of subsist until I started teaching, which happened the next fall. So I sold eyeglasses. I was a salesperson in an eyeglass boutique, in the mall, no less. Every morning I would drive like 45 minutes outside of Pittsburgh-proper to go sell eyeglasses. And I had nightmares about this gig, because it was known that I was there short term—it was known that I was a poet and a teacher, and I used that to sort of forge connections with some of the clientele when I talked to them about glasses. Reading and things. And so it was as if I was trying to reinforce, through the drudgery of being on my feet all day and trying to bear the techno music, that this (poetry) is what I do; let me not forget; don't you forget. Buy these glasses.
TT: [laughs] Don't you forget, you need these glasses to read the poems I'm reading. I drove 45 minutes out of Pittsburgh to sell eyeglasses, and I was still an ambassador for poetry. It's great.
CMB: I say this because I'm wearing a brand new pair of glasses. I love them. I can see very sharply now.
TT: It's funny, as you were saying that I was thinking: "In about three weeks I've got new glasses coming, and I can't wait to see them. When I'm taking them out of the store, they better look as good as I thought they did when I purchased them." We spend so much money on these important things. Well, let's hear another poem.
CMB: I'll read the last one in the book. This poem references what "Dear Incubator," does briefly in saying, "I have a dead sister," after "so much has happened." This poem took years to arrive, or I took years to arrive to this poem—in that my sister died in 1998, and in the years following I attempted to write several poems about my sister's dying. It was always from the perspective of grieving, of course. That's what I go through to get to the expression of it. But I was free-writing one day and somehow I thought, "Well, let me write a poem from the perspective of looking at my dead sister, of her speaking, of her having to make a choice." And so this poem came from that.
A Young Girl and a Hooded Attendant
You must have in your muscles your threshold of pain.
Said, when the light, hole or gracious hand appeared, Yes.
First looked behind you to the macramé of tubers, rigs
and your body's openings, that were made openings,
through which slender metal mouths sucked or spewed,
all the black-black, the sterilized tears, the life and life-
lessness of that place.
Must have looked on all it amounted, surveyed the
wilt, rot, measurable ravage, and looked away. What
intelligent sickness.
Rather—what is in front of you answers how the water
and the wood bridge leading to the water signify a freedom
only felt when going under: Count backward from 100.
100,99,98…It doesn't take what you think it takes
to leave the body. What it requires is that you admit
yourself, the bleak shelter of your body against
the calm…92,91, of what impresses your optic nerve:
Yourself, woundless. And saturating that desire
further corrected colors.

I have stayed at the Seralago in the past. I've stayed there a long time ago when it used to be the Holiday Inn, until about 2004 or so when they switch over to Seralago. When the hotel was the Holiday Inn, it was beautiful. Everything was clean and working, and now I feel like the Seralago has gone down hill. The hotel reminded me of the little Jersey shore hotels that I usually stay in for one night. However, the difference is that in Jersey we pay anywhere from $100 - $150 per night, and at Seralago we only paid $44 a night, so that made our stay a little better knowing that we saved money.
We are the type of people who are NEVER in our hotel room. We basically use our hotel to shower, sleep and change if we need to. That's really it. Unless we stay at a five star resort, I don't go on vacations to spend hours in my hotel room, especially when I am in the Orlando area. That being said, I think that there were good points and bad points about this hotel.
The good points are that it is so close to everything. Disney, Celebration, shops, restaurants, and cheesy little shops are just 5-10 minutes away. The maids cleaned up our room great every day, so there was no problem with that. The hotel room we stayed in had two beds, a mini fridge and a microwave, which is more than what we needed. Our stay was fine because like I said, we were only in the room to shower and sleep. So if you're anything like me and you don't use your hotel room very much, this place is great, especially for the price!
As for the bad points..the t.v. is old, so if you're really into high def. televisions, I'd definitely go elsewhere. The room is outdated, and there was no room number on the door to our hotel room, so it took us a while to find our room, and the room is really humid. I don't know if it is because of the air condition/heater, but the room was always really damp. After I would blow dry my hair, I would run out of the room and get going because it was less humid outside than it was in our room. (We were there in the beginning of January, so it wasn't that humid in Florida).
So to sum up this hotel, if you are looking to go to Disney, but not pay Disney resort prices, and you are planning to NEVER be in your hotel room, I would definitely try Seralago, especially because of the price. If you like to hang out at your hotel, take naps in your room, and just spend time there, then I would look elsewhere. This is not the type of hotel you want to spend the whole day at.

|Acid Attack Fighter Sapna is in hospital and undergoing several plastic surgeries
Thursday, 21 November 2013
Letter to the Police Authorities (Station House Officer) by acid attack fighter Sapna against her harassment by the attackersPosted by Stop Acid Attacks On Thursday, November 21, 2013 No comments
Station House Officer,
GTB Enclave Police Station,
North East Delhi Police zone,
Delhi - 53
Subject: Regarding acid attack victim's harassment
Respected Sir/Madam,
I am an acid attack victim, Sapna. I was attacked on 7th August 2013 by my cousin Deepak's brother-in-law Bharat. After several threats I was attacked near G.T.B Enclave (Gate No. 11). The acid burnt my face, my right hand and my back. I am undergoing treatment at G.T.B Hospital.
An F.I.R was lodged with G.T.B. Enclave police station of NORT EAST DELHI District on 07-08-2013. FIR no. Is 232. Subsequent to investigation the acid thrower Bharat was arrested.
Deepak and his brother Bhola have since, been coercing me to withdraw the F.I.R. They have come to my house on several occasions, threatening my parents. On 18th October in my absence they barged into my house with other men assaulting my parents, hitting them repeatedly and then threw out all our belongings out of our house. My father informed the police on the helpine number ( #100).
Upon returning home, on 19th October Deepak and Bhola asked me when I will withdraw the F.I.R, in case that I do not they plan to attack my brothers with Acid. All my belongings continue to lie outside my house.
Sir, my family and I are very scared, we are alone and helpless. We fear a more heinous attack in the future. As of now, no police action has been taken against these two. They have threatened us yet again, this time to burn down our house. I request you to please do the needful urgently, issue orders to arrest Deepak and Bhola, as they have been threatening to harm our family, if we do not succumb to their threats.

International expert in the field of conflict, peacebuilding, humanitarian and development affairs including gender analysis and policy
(Please note that Dr Eleanor O'Gorman is NOT available for PhD supervision.)
Dr Eleanor O'Gorman is a Senior Associate of the University of Cambridge Centre for Gender Studies and a member of its Academic Committee.

Along with the many jobs, century old companies, mortgages, houses, and the stock market, this falling economy has taken away from me one of my most coveted things--Domino Magazine. Sigh. Conde Nast reported this morning that Domino Magazine has folded and that the last issue will be the February issue.
I really loved this magazine, it brought out and encouraged my love for interior decorating and colors and patterns. I loved everything about this magazine and looked forward to it every month. In fact, my subscription was just renewed. In FACT the tote bag I carry everyday to school was a free gift with subscription. Gasp! I just wrote them an email asking for a new bag with my subscription b/c mine was falling apart....and now I know why they said "no." It all makes sense now.
Goodbye Domino....I'll always love you. Good thing I kept every issue since its very first issue.

text: Friday was Halloween which is always a favorite Holiday around here. The boys anticipate Halloween every day of the year and I always enjoy relishing in their excitement and planning fun stuff. We usually do a countdown to Halloween where I do something "themed" for the 7-10 days leading up to the big day but this year those ten days flew by and I lost my chance. Whoops! Nevertheless the boys had a great day at school with parties and cupcakes and festive crafts. We carved pumpkins and snacked on some cinnamon sugar pumpkin seeds (which were amazing by the way).

The BLVD Trailer (1999)
01 January 1999 Factual 63 mins
An experimental documentary about the street drag racing scene on Chicago's Near West Side. This is a rambling, textured film about obsession. It is about the mythos of speed for its own sake, and it is about waiting. While waiting, The BLVD exposes community, inner-city landscapes and nomadic experiences of place. The film treats storytelling as a living medium for determining history. And it commands respect for those who transform cars, or anything else, through passion.

Jacobsen has a wide readership, as evidenced many an Irish book club selected The Unseen which is about as perfect as a novel can be. In only its second year since a daring re-invention, the Man Booker International has further consolidated its position as a major literary award with a world-class shortlist of fiction in translation. Rich in ideas, digressions, historical fact and comic characterisation, it is beautiful, eccentric and never takes itself seriously although its theme is profound – the ongoing conflict of east meets west, the concerted ransacking of Middle Eastern culture and all the more tragic in the context of the current agonies of the Syrian people. The Shortlist
Compass by Mathias Énard
This is the obvious winner. Four men and two women; three Europeans, two Israelis and the youngest, an Argentine, are the survivors from an original submission of 123 books published in English translation. Life is hard on the island where the sea is lord and a changed in the weather can prove fatal. This novel of ideas spans one long night in the imagination and memory of a sympathetic narrator, Franz Ritter, insomniac, musicologist, dreamer and unrequited lover, as he revisits days spent with a tenacious scholar, the woman he loved, sort of. (Review)
A Horse Walks into a Bar by David Grossman
Compass review: A delightful odyssey into learning made easy
The Unseen review: Red sky at mourning for a Norwegian fishing family
A Horse Walks into a Bar review: a polemic of unusual power It was always destined to be an impressive final six, as the 13-strong longlist included no less than 11 novels with serious claims. As he lies in bed, very ill, he resembles Ivan Goncharov's apathetic anti-hero Oblomov, from the 19th century Russian classic of the same name. (Review)
The Unseen by Roy Jacobsen
This is the story of a family living on an island off the Norwegian coast. My book of the year last year, it is about as perfect a novel as would be expected from the gifted Jacobsen. It is a gorgeous performance, wry and humorous.
The winner of the 2017 Man Booker International prize, which sees the £50,000 divided equally between the winning author and translation, will be announced on June 14. Fever Dream by Samanta Schweblin
A hint of the Gothic shapes this mesmerising narrative from the youngest contender – she's 39. Unsettling, fluid, and elusive, Schweblin's inspired mastery of great fiction's most defining secret weapon, ambivalence, expectedly made the longlist and emerged as the dark horse. Encountering difficulties learning to drive, she is likable, as is this slight little book which suggests that the author, the first Danish writer to have a story published in the New Yorker, possesses sufficient humour to be fully bemused at her shock inclusion in this quality shortlist. Both a novel of ideas and a study of an Everyman effectively translated by the veteran Nicholade Lange, yet again Oz – the most senior nominee at 77 – affirms his position as a likely Nobel literature laureate. Mirror, Shoulder, Signal by Dorthe Nors
Sonja, a translator of Swedish crime novels, has hit 40, is single and being ignore by her sister. Widely admired on publication and one of my favourite books of 2016, this is Grossman – a likely Nobel Literature laureate – at his most daring. (Review)
Judas by Amos Oz
The legendary Israeli truth-teller, who began his literary career as a polemicist and increasingly became an ever finer artist, has written one of his best works in which the theme of betrayal as reflected in the title is juxtaposed with a coming of age story set in Jerusalem and spanning the winter of 1959 into 1960. Favourites
In the absence of two outstanding German novels,Kruso by poet Lutz Seiler which failed to even make the longlist and Clemens Meyer's abrasive Bricks and Mortar, which is a shock omission, Énard's Compass looks to be the victor, with Schweblin's Fever Dream a challenger of intoxicating intensity. A tormented stand-up comic regales the audience and a chosen witness to a caustic and heartrending account of the childhood which made his adult life a hell. The Shortlist in detail
Compass by Mathias Énard (France), translated by Charlotte Mandell, published by Fitzcarraldo Editions
The Unseen by Roy Jacobsen (Norway), translated by Don Bartlett, Don Shaw, published by Maclehose
A Horse Walks Into a Bar by David Grossman (Israel), translated by Jessica Cohen, published by Jonathan Cape
Fever Dream by Samanta Schweblin (Argentina), translated by Megan McDowell, published by Oneworld
Judas by Amos Oz (Israel), translated by Nicholas de Lange, published by Chatto & Windus
Mirror, Shoulder, Signal by Dorthe Nors (Denmark), translated by Misha Hoekstra, published by Pushkin Press With her is a strange child, not her son. It follows the tragic course of a young woman as she faces death in a rural clinic. Megan McDowell's devastatingly well- nuanced translation conveys all the menace of the original. Among the judges are Turkish writer Elif Shafak, poet Helen Mort, Nigerian writer Chika Unigwe who writes in English and Dutch, and Daniel Hahn whose translation of Angolan Jose Eduardo Agualusa's poignant A General Theory of Oblivion is shortlisted for this year's International Dublin Literary Award.

Front Door Suggestions for 1920's Home?
Q: I live in a 1926 brick home dubbed a "Mediterranean Eclectic" by the Tulsa Historical Preservation Commission. At some point a completely non period-appropriate Mid-Century Modern door was used to replace the original front door. We are getting ready to replace this door and could use some help.
I want to replace it with a 10-light wood/glass door, as I think that would be period appropriate and would complement the many windows we have as well. My husband is concerned about security and would prefer some sort of wood batten door. We are both open to other suggestions. Help!

It's no secret that Halloween is Garrison's favorite time of year. Fall can be magical itself, but Halloween is the only time of year when it is acceptable to deck out your home with jack-o-lanterns, skulls, and cobwebs! It can be hard to decorate for this holiday, however, when so many decorations that teeter on cheesy and cheap looking. Read on for some great ways to decorate for Halloween without losing the elegance of your home.
Skull Sconces to Brighten Your Dark Lair
This classy glass skull sconce is the result of a simple DIY project using an old vodka bottle shaped like a skull. This lighting fixture is so simple and elegant that your guests may not even realize that you have a skull on your wall! It doesn't look cheap or like it is obviously a Halloween decoration, so it is the perfect way to spice up your home this season while remaining elegant!
Old Fashioned Labels for all of Your Potions
These "Poison" labels for wine bottles are an easy way to spice up a dinner party. As long as no one thinks you're serving them actual arsenic, these labels can be fun while not taking away any of the elegance from your dinner setup.
Learn an Enchantment to Give Your Pumpkins a Silver Skin
It's no big secret that at GHID we love orange. So, as good as this may look in your home around Halloween, we would never dream of altering the color of our pumpkins. For the rest of you, painting your pumpkins with metallic silver paint can make them blend with an already elegant design at the dinner table or fireplace mantle. They may fit in better with table decorations while still giving off the feel of autumn and Halloween.
Make Your Candles Bleed During Dinner Rituals
Sometimes the scariest part of Halloween is not what jumps out at you, it's what you barely notice. That is exactly what is accomplished with these candles. They are simply light-colored candles with a bit of red candle melted down them, but this small detail makes them creepy while still having all the class of an off-white candlestick. Careful when serving dinner to guests, they may wonder what you've been up to!
Cast an Image of a Haunted House Upon Your Wall
Full-wall photographs can be a stunning addition to a home dining room. This old creepy house in the background is the perfect backdrop to set the tone for your Halloween festivities!!
Did any of these fun and unique ways to decorate for Halloween spur the creative juices in you? Tell us which idea is your favorite and why?

Hi, I'm Brittany Leaning. 👋
I like humans, well-designed experiences, and difficult challenges.
I'm a curious UX designer with a background in social media and content strategy. I'm endlessly fascinated by humans and how they interact with the world around them. I believe design should be invisible and highly personalized. My favorite word is "why."
I'd love to join a dynamic team where difficult challenges and out-of-the-box thinking are encouraged (specifically in Austin, TX). If you know of any opportunities, think we'd be a fit for each other, or just feel like chatting about UX design, please connect with me.
"So, how'd you get into UX design?"
I'm glad you asked.
Here's my story:
2008 - 2012
Let's start with college...
I studied marketing at Champlain College in beautiful Burlington, Vermont. I chose marketing because my favorite courses leading up to college were psychology, graphics, and advanced writing. (Ah, a little foreshadowing, perhaps?)
During this time I studied abroad in Amsterdam, interned at Vermont Teddy Bear, and did lots and lots of snowboarding. It was a glorious time to be alive.
2012 - 2014
The life-changing internship.
500 people applied, but only three people got the job. I was one of them.
I moved from Burlington, Vermont to Cambridge, Massachusetts to work as a summer intern on HubSpot's marketing team. At the time, the company had a 300 employees in a single office building.
My first big kid job.
After three months interning at HubSpot, I was hired on full-time as their sole Social Media Manager. I triaged and responded to hundreds of questions, comments, and support-related inquires every day. This was my biggest lesson in empathy to date.
2014 - 2016
My first career pivot: content strategy.
My favorite part of managing social media was creating engaging content. I often found myself designing ebooks in my off time (just for fun). That's when I knew it was time to reflect on my career. I moved over to HubSpot's content team in May 2014.
That time I wrote a book.
My experience managing brand accounts on Twitter (Vermont Teddy Bear, PajamaGram, Hoodie-Footie, and HubSpot) opened doors for interesting opportunities. One of those was a role as Co-Author of Twitter for Dummies, where I learned to empathize with new users; to help make Twitter accessible for everyone.
Going global in Dublin, Ireland.
I was sent to Dublin, Ireland for three months to work with HubSpot's EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) marketing team. Here, I learned about the intricacies of international marketing and the frustrations users can face when a company scales globally. At this point, HubSpot had 1,700 employees in offices all around the world and over 10,000 customers.
Roadtripping to Austin, Texas.
I fell in love with Austin's friendly and creative vibes after several bi-yearly visits. So, in January, 2017 I packed all my belongings and made the 30-hour trek from Boston. Turns out, my cat isn't a big fan of car rides.
Starting a freelance business.
When I arrived in Austin, I spent the first few months helping businesses scale their marketing and design efforts. I learned a lot about remote communication, invoicing, taxes, and how to maintain sanity while working from home.
My second career pivot: UX design.
Finally, here we are; my big move from marketing to UX design.
During my last year as a Content Strategist at HubSpot, my content projects were becoming increasingly more web-based. I found myself empathizing with users more than I ever had in the past. I was applying UX principles to my content projects without even knowing it. I was reading books like The Best Interface Is No Interface and The Power of Habit, and I couldn't put them down.
That's when it hit me; it was time for another career shift.
I sought out formal training to make my pivot official. In June 2017, I joined General Assembly's immersive, 10-week User Experience Design program. Then, in August 2017, I started contracting as a UX/UI Designer with The University of Texas at Austin. Today, I confidently self-identify as a "designer" and I've never felt more at home.

Have you ever wish to add a progress bar to respring screen on iOS 9 iPhone? The new jailbreak tweak brings exactly this functionality to your iDevice. Called RespringProgress from developer Ethan Arbuckle this Cydia tweak places a progress bar on the respring screen of your iOS 9 device and keeps you informed of its progress. This is the same black screen where the white Apple logo resides after performing a respring post jailbreak tweak install, or after invoking respring-oriented jailbreak tweaks.
This is quite useful as you will be aware of the respring progress and can also determine when your device enters boot loop from the installation of a faulty tweak. So follow the tutorial below to setup RespringProgress tweak on your jailbroken device.
How To Enable A Progress Bar To Respring Screen In iOS 9
Before you proceed please note that the tweak supports only iOS 9 firmware, so those users who has jailbroken devices on older iOS versions cannot grab it. We should add that it does work on jailbroken iPads running iOS 9 as well. But those folks who updated their devices to either iOS 9.1 or 9.2 firmware versions are unlucky as currently both these platforms are unjailbreakable.
Step 1. First, jailbreak your iOS 9 device with Pangu tool.
Step 2. Now download RespringProgress tweak from Cydia for $0.99.
Step 3. Once installed, you can start to use RespringProgress as there is no settings to configure. Keep in mind that the progress bar is only displayed after you respring your device which usually happens after you install a new tweak from Cydia.
Step 4. As the developer notes, the tweak keeps track of the number of objects that Springboard loads while your iOS 9 device is performing a respring and compares it to the total number that would signify Springboard as done. The progress bar increases gradually as new objects are created.
Adding a progress bar to respring screen on iOS 9 iPhone RespringProgress is more of a visual tweak and it is a good way of keeping track of the progress of a respring process.

It's a situation that has played out across the country, but one that no one can imagine happening so close to home. Jeff Besong, assistant vice president of Public Safety and police chief at Point Park University, sought to create a video that would educate students, faculty and staff on what to do in such a situation, while also highlighting the protections in place on campus.
"When they see our own University, it will bring the scenario closer to home," Besong said. "They'll say, 'I sit in that classroom.' . I think everyone will get a sense of ownership. Our hope is that they will better understand what actions can be taken in case of an armed intruder."
Personalizing an On-Campus Active Shooter Situation
The video was conceived using the tenants of the ALICE Training Institute, a school safety company. ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate. The institute uses the acronym to highlight ways to respond to an active shooter situation on campus.
Besong is aware of only a handful of training videos available to universities, and none of them deal with a situation on a Point Park-like urban campus. The final video will be presented in the City-University Life Class, and all current and future students will see the video.
To produce the video, Besong hoped to use homegrown talent, and asked the Cinema and Digital Arts Department for a recommendation. Chair and Associate Professor Jeremy Braverman recommended Garrett Kennell, Kevin Stiller and Timm Romine, all recent Point Park graduates. "I think it's a great opportunity. It's the type of stuff they'll be getting paid to do as filmmakers," Braverman said. "It's a springboard. They're so talented, they can make anything look good."
Besong provided a script and a video done by Auburn University as an example to follow, customize and improve upon. While Kennell had never made an instructional PSA video before, he found elements of familiarity in the project. "What was cool about this project is that it had somewhat of a narrative attached to it," said Kennell, who directed the project. Stiller does cinematography, while Romine acts as editor. "We were able to construct a very loose narrative to this PSA. It actually gets people interested and attached more when you can follow a clear and concise story."
Using Point Park Students and Faculty as Actors
Kennell said all actors in the video were students and faculty members. Braverman said the project provided a nice experience for students, but the use of alumni to produce it was just as important. "It allows (alumni) to feel even more connected to the University," he said. "It strengthens that relationship - it's very similar to 'The Chair.' It's the same concept, as both students and alumni worked on that. This provides them an entry into the industry and connects alumni to students."
Point Park University Officer Alyssa Bunn was among a group of officers in tactical formation as they simulated arriving on the scene of an incident in the school's Lawrence Hall for the video. She enjoyed working with former and current students on the project. "I was able to see what they learned or were learning, and how they applied it to the making of the ALICE video," she said.
Bunn also found it to be a good refresher course for what she's been taught. "It helped to re-enforce the training I've received for an active shooter or intruder attempting to harm others, and it allowed all of us to practice what actions we need to take in case a situation like this happens," she said.
Violent Videos Now a Necessary Tool for Ensuring Campus Safety
Officer James Pasqualino, who also appears in the video, said violent incidents nationwide have made videos like Point Park's a necessary tool for the safety of staff, faculty and students.
"The event of a mass shooting is certainly something we never want to face, but there always has to be a plan to eliminate the threat, should it come to our campus," he said. "With regular repetitive training methods being used by our department, we are preparing for such an event." Both Pasqualino and Bunn said the video acts as a reminder to staff, faculty and students that Point Park's officers are fully trained and prepared to deal with any situation that threatens their safety. Bunn concludes, "Their safety is our number-one priority."
is managing director of marketing and public relations for Point Park University. He joined the University in March after a nearly 20-year career as a professional journalist.

Less than a week after a man was dragged on an airplane, United Airlines has implemented a new policy. Crew members are no longer allowed to remove a seated passenger from a plane.
The new rule states that flight crews must check in an hour before departure. The previous rule in effect was that United employees could book a seat up until flight departure. United spokeswoman Maggie Schmerin sent out an email saying…
"This is one of our initial steps in a review of our policies to deliver the best customer service."
Obviously, this new policy is to ensure that incidents like last week don't happen again.

Early Monday morning, amidst the annual climate negotiations in Warsaw, the International Coal and Climate Summit opened at the Ministry of the Economy. Christiana Figueres, the UNFCCC Executive Secretary, was due to address it despite disapproval from the NGO community.
Outside the ministry, a group of Greenpeace activists scaled a building holding large banners that read 'Who Rules the World? Fossil Industry or the People?" and 'Who Rules Poland? Coal Industry or The People?'.
Considerable media attention has surrounded this summit considering it is an industry event. This is in part due to the avid support of the Polish Government and Figueres' controversial attendance. Her attendance is being seen as bringing legitimacy to the coal industry and inviting business into the climate negotiations.
Milton Catelin, CEO of the World Coal Association, emphasised that this was not the first time these two summits have coincided. The goal is to open a dialogue with NGOs and government and move past rhetoric. Other speakers echoed his sentiment around the importance of engaging the coal industry moving pass the status quo.
Deputy Prime Minister of Poland and Minister of Economy Jerzy Buzek said that after the disaster in the Philippines no one can deny the effects of climate change. However, coal will continue to be an important fuel for Poland and the world. Buzek also sent a message back inside the COP19 negotiations lamented at the empty Green Climate Fund and questioned why countries could not instead substitute finance for technologies.
Figueres' message was frank and directed at both sides of the issue: "let me be clear from the outset that my joining you today is neither a tacit approval of coal use nor a call for the immediate disappearance of coal. But I am here to say that coal must change rapidly and dramatically".
She outlined what the transition of coal must look like: "there are some fundamental parameters of this transition. Close all existing subcritical plants, implement safe CCUF's on all new plants, even the most efficient and leave most existing reserves in the ground."
Figueres compared solving climate change to landing on the moon; back in the 1960s, no one knew how but it was done. Her message, overall, was well received by the participants. Godfrey Gomwe, CEO of Thermal Coal, said it was "just right" and "conciliatory" in tone. Adding that he echoed her message that "we are part of the problem and solution."
All speakers noted that coal is fundamental in the growth of developing countries. Coal is a cheap and reliable energy source that developing countries can benefit from in the same way developed countries have.
Gomwe called for the international community to provide loans so that the developing world could afford to build the most efficient plants possible, not just the cheapest. A one per cent efficiency increase in a coal plant can reduce emissions by up to two per cent.
The hovering presence of activists outside of the summit did not go unnoticed and their message was contrary to those inside. Martin Kaiser from Greenpeace, said that "new investments in fossil fuels, like coal and oil, need to be stopped and transferred into renewable energy."
The two-day summit is expected to bring together coal industry leaders to develop a strategy for the coal sector to address climate change.

OPCOM is the Electricity Futures Operator in Romania and serves as administrator of electricity market, by providing a framework for commodity transactions in the electricity market.
In line with the 2009-12 government plan, the Executive will put in place a national program to raise public awareness on consumers' rights.
Another key point in the government's plan is to "increase institutional authority of ANRE and boost transparency in the operation of the institution", increase natural gas storage capacity to an optimum level, and to create an investment fund by aggregating state's interests in commercial companies, to fund projects of national significance.
The new program is also a guideline for preventing and managing potential energy crisis, with enhanced focus on the import of energy materials, aimed at developing infrastructure, and securing strategic internal stocks, interconnections and cooperation with regional energy systems and establishing clear procedures to follow in case of disruption of supplies, and promoting an active involvement to the EU mechanism of regional cooperation in case of energy crisis.
The Government plans to stick to the reorganization project for the state-owned energy companies, by setting up two large companies aimed at boosting competition in the sector.
Other projects will remain on the Government's agenda in the coming term, such as the undersea interconnection cable between Romania and Turkey, a new hydro power plant on the Danube and a second nuclear power plant.

atmos, the authors of some of the greatest Air Max 1 symphonies of all-time, come back with two insane masterpieces of the '87 runner for 2013. We showed you a preview of the two pairs some time ago, but we're getting a first detailed look at each pair – both of which were spotted at the Project NYC Trade Show. The 'Army Camo' pair is teamed up with a luxurious black snakeskin material on the toe-box, upper quarter, and tongue, completing yet another seamless mix of contrasting materials that we've seen atmos accomplish plenty of times before. These were originally noted as January 2013 releases, but no updates have been made as of yet – although we can expect them to drop this year among a slew of other atmos collaborations. A detailed gallery is just below so take a look and stay tuned for a look at the second 'Desert Camo' pair.

First machine for simulations
This is my first post on this forum so hello to everyone :)
I'm not really specialist in cfd. I only did half year basic ansys CFX course, and half year Fluent curse during studies. But I'm really into it and i would like to get to know it better when i have more time.
Right now I'm trying to build kind of a workstation so I could use it for my master thesis (not sure about translation).
My experience tells me that you know best what you need when you really need it, so probably I'll know my needs after I start doing simulations. But...
I found this guy on internet selling xeon e5-4640 with motherboard Asrock X79 extreme4-M for only 2000 PLN, wich is about 500 euro.
I find it to be great occasion for me to buy cheap and good hardware to begin with.
Before i found this i was about to buy i7-3770K, so what should I do?
Also i read that I dont need ECC ram, but could someone confirm this so i could be sure.
Thanks for help in advance and also sorry for any mistakes (english is not my native language).
What program will you be using?
Will you be running parallel cores? If so how many?
I'll be using Code Saturne as a solver. Also I want to try OpenFoam but i hear that it's complicated.
I would like to run computations on as many cores as possible to speed things up. But because of lack of experience I dont know yet how many I'll be able to use. Therefore I'm asking if I'll be able to utilize e5-4640 which is 8 cores with 2,4 GHz freq. Or should I go with more like gaming build with 3770K - 4 cores and 3,5 GHz freq. Price is the same (probably guy is selling engineering samples).
Well we don't know how many cores you will be running. If one, two, or three, then I'd say the 3770K might be faster. If more than that then the XEON may be faster.
You have 4 memory channels with the XEON, and only 2 with the 3770K. This may make a difference if the code you use is limited by memory bandwidth.
But it really depends on the code and your parallel capability. I don't know anything about Saturne, perhaps you should find out about parallel licensing for that code.
I bought xeon. Just like i thought it is ES processor, but seller is kinda keeping it a secret. He sold it with motherboard and installed cooler so I couldn't see writings on heatsink. It's sealed and i can't detach it or I'll lose warranty, which is 2 years by the way so I think its a good deal. Cooler he gave me is AVC Napoleon, not the best choice I think.
I also bought used quadro fx 4600 but it turned out to be bad idea. It uses a lot of power and came with broken capacitor. Seller repaired it but it looks like he didnt have a lot of soldering practice. Now I have problems on boot because sometimes card is not giving signal to monitor.
Thank you for all answers.

text: A really sunny bit of psychedelic pop is coming from Minneapolis' France Camp. "Marisha," the first single off their upcoming album Purge, surfs forward through old time rock n' roll riffs and blues-tinged vocals, bursting at the seams with a casually cool warmth. Sticking to high quality basics, the chorus churns on a longing repetition of the sweet girl's name in a slightly hazy, infectious take on psychedelic pop. Let the ride cymbal take you away until Purge comes out via Forged Artifacts on May 19th.

Duo AI Mirror
It's first and foremost a mirror, though the Duo AI Mirror is quick to reveal its high tech inner workings when spoken to or touched. Think of this elegant, inconspicuous computer as an Echo or Google home, just with a visual interface as well in the form of a 27-inch 1080p multitouch display hidden behind a one-way mirror. Duo can play music, videos, display the weather, show you the news, as well as answer your questions and do your bidding (for instance to call you an Uber). Its custom-built HomeOS also features a SDK for developers to create custom apps, so both its functionality and integration with other smart home devices (for controlling lights, locks, blinds, and more) are bound to expand over time.
