Tovolo® Purple Tea Infuser
This tea infuser is so pretty, you may forget that's it's functional, too. The infuser sits in its base at an angle so it's easy to set down after tea has been infused. Its deep, durable base provides a receptacle for drips and provides easy clean-up. Constructed of heat-resistant polycarbonate and 18/10 stainless steel. Dishwasher safe.
Tovolo® Purple Tea Infuser
tea time
I love this tea infuser. I can now make tea a work and not have to worry about tea bags and where to put them. Or I can use loose tea and have more variety. This item looks good on my desk and is very easy to use and clean. May get another for home.
April 28, 2012
Great purchase!
I love this tea infuser! The only reason I didn't give it a 5-star rating is because even though the holes are small, some loose tea can still weasel its way through. However, this is not a big problem. The infuser is really cute and a great price!
April 18, 2012
The Best!!!
I absolutely love my infuser. It doesn't take a large amount of leaves to get a great tasting result. Did I mention that it is a conversation piece too? You need this.

vigabatrin (cont.) IN THIS ARTICLE
What should I discuss with my health care provider before taking vigabatrin (Sabril)?Some people taking vigabatrin have developed mild to severe vision problems. Vision problems may occur within weeks to years after you start taking vigabatrin. Vision loss caused by vigabatrin may be permanent, and you may notice only mild symptoms of the onset of vision loss. You must have eye exams on a regular basis while taking this medication. Vigabatrin is available only under a special program called SHARE. You must be registered in the program and sign documents stating that you understand the risks and benefits of taking this medication and that you agree to have vision exams every 3 months while you are taking vigabatrin. Ask your doctor or call the drug maker if you have questions about the program or the written requirements. You should not use this medication if you are allergic to vigabatrin. To make sure you can safely take vigabatrin, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
You may have thoughts about suicide while taking this medication. Your doctor will need to check your progress at regular visits. Do not miss any scheduled appointments. FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether vigabatrin will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication. Although vigabatrin might harm an unborn baby, having a seizure during pregnancy could harm both mother and baby. If you become pregnant while taking vigabatrin, do not stop taking it without your doctor's advice. If you are pregnant, your name may be listed on a pregnancy registry. This is to track the outcome of the pregnancy and to evaluate any effects of vigabatrin on the baby. Vigabatrin can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while you are using vigabatrin. How should I take vigabatrin (Sabril)?Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose over several weeks or months to make sure you get the best results from this medication. Vigabatrin may be taken with or without food. Vigabatrin powder must be mixed with water before you give it to a child. Empty the packet of powder into an empty cup and add 10 milliliters (2 teaspoons) of water that is cold or room temperature. If your doctor has prescribed more than 1 packet per dose, use 2 teaspoons of water for each packet of powder you are mixing. Do not mix the powder and water until you are ready to give a dose. Stir the mixture until the powder dissolves completely. Give the liquid mixture to your child using the 10 mL oral syringe that comes with the medicine. If your child's dose is more than 1 packet, you will need to fill the syringe once for each packet mixed. To be sure this medication is not causing harmful effects on your vision, you will need a thorough eye exam when you start taking vigabatrin and then every 3 months during treatment. If you ever stop taking vigabatrin, you may still need to have eye exams every 3 to 6 months after your treatment ends. Do not miss any follow-up visits to your doctor. Do not stop using vigabatrin without first talking to your doctor, even if you feel fine. You may have increased seizures if you stop using vigabatrin suddenly. You may need to use less and less before you stop the medication completely. It may take up to 3 months before your seizure control improves. Contact your doctor if your seizures get worse or you have them more often while taking vigabatrin. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Same problem for me in So Cal, TW cable.
I can not connect most times, or if I do then
I get dropped after a few minutes.
I called TW tech support. They claim they have not
heard any reports of this. Then the tech told me
that their network does not support UDP ??!!
They seem clueless. I have been playing LOTRO on
TW for 2 years; they DO support UDP.
Turbine, please use your clout to reach someone
knowledgeable at TW cable and get this fixed.Last edited by JLotro; Jun 24 2012 at 05:56 PM.

I don't know if it is all by coincidence or by some odd fate that Jesus Christ is looking out for me, but I contacted Time Warner Cable, then they 'sped up my internet and made it better'... and then that helped me load the game faster/play faster... but also dc faster and get the evil 1/20 logon server tries. So, I did the next thing and submitted a ticket from the link that someone replied with earlier, and Turbine replied IMMEDIATELY with a generic site that I had already gone to and had done EVERYTHING on the site as well as all the links at the bottom before. So, I replied immediately after their email with an explanation that I had done everything on that site and none of it had worked so far.
Logged onto my character a few times and it had the same error. . . Then about an hour later, I am now able to log on and off characters freely! I don't know if that is all by coincidence but I am now not going to rip all my hair out!
Don't ask me what I have done with my toilet brush!
Jun 24 2012 07:30 PM #83
Well, this is frustrating. I was finally able to log in, and it loaded really quickly. I could only stay connected for less than a minute before it disconnected me, and now I can't get back on.
Even this website is failing to load most of the time. Its taken me 5 minutes just to get to this point to be able to post.
There's no way its my specific connection since I've been sitting in Diablo 3 all afternoon w/o any DCs. Turbine's or TWC.. somewhere between the two of them its all screwed up.
Jun 24 2012 07:33 PM #84
Yet another TW/Road runner customer
Glad someone is getting to play, but I am having the same issue with all my characters on Windfola. (just got DC'ed from an alt a couple of minutes ago.
Glad to find this thread though. At least I know I am not alone, and no longer need to worry about software fixes.
Jun 24 2012 07:57 PM #85
I'm sure the irony is in your misunderstanding of both of my posts. I never assumed anything as factual. I offered possibilities based on facts (an update occured at the exact same date as our disconnectivity began, West coast users have full connectivity outside of LOTRO) and at the end of the day I said we do not know what the true situation is. I was offering a different possibility than your assumption that it was necessarily TW because other regional players are working fine.
In my second post I guessed it was you. This of course is different than claiming it was you. I also guessed it might be someone else (forum mods,devs, etc.) I have no idea who it actually was. Obviously someone disagreed with my argument and abused the rep system from the shadows. In either case, I stand by my point that Turbine's update is on the face of it a leading contender for at least part of the cause of the problems. Kohl, your conversation with your provider doesn't weigh strongly against that likelihood. I never, in fact, claimed that my offered scenario was true, only likely. It can't be false unless it becomes certain that the blame lies with TW. The evidence doesn't suppport this, as the evidence is highly circumstantial and probabilistic. In any case, the practical point, as you say, is to push the tech support requests through both channels.Last edited by Doulos; Jun 24 2012 at 08:33 PM.

Was able to play normally again for a number of hours before I was first locked out of individual characters and ultimately give the 20 strikes and you're out server hunt identical to the previous evenings.
Jun 24 2012 11:36 PM #87
I live in Southern California area and have also been experiencing this issue. I have emailed Turbine and was told that if running "ipconfig /flushdns" did not work, I needed to contact my ISP, as it would be on their end.
Well, that "fix" worked for a few hours, but after that, I have had non-stop problems. I did call Brighthouse today and talked to T3 Support for Roadrunner....they told me they are aware of the issue and are working with Turbine to resolve it. He said that unfortunately it is taking awhile due to them finding out about it over the weekend (I am guessing sometime Friday?). He said that when you call in, if you get a regular tech they will know nothing, so just ask for T3 Support immediately. The minute I said it was regarding LOTRO, he knew exactly what I was talking about, and gave me an estimated fix date of Wed, though he said it could be sooner.
Let's hope we all get some kind of compensation for this. I have been playing for 5 years under my Roadrunner internet, and this is the first time I have experienced this, and it happened right after "Maintenance"......

It's now 11 AM on the East Coast and no word yet from Turbine. I spent the past 30 minutes attempting to login without any success at all (Attempting to connect to server 19/20, etc etc.) I will update the forum if I receive any word from my tech support ticket. Please, if anyone hears anything do post as well.
Jun 25 2012 11:16 AM #89
Thanks so much for the update, really appreciated!
My thoughts regarding Roadrunner... I have fantastic upload/download speeds and a consistent service with absolutely no downtimes or interruptions. It's hard to imagine this being an ISP issue considering there is absolutely no problems with surfing, downloading, uploading, streaming, or playing other MMO's. This has just been my experience, personally. From what you are saying, it sounds like TWC/Affiliated Companies are stepping up as well, which is good to hear.
Here's hoping for the best, Cheers.

So, I got an email from Turbine again this morning, basically laying the blame on Roadrunner again, which I do not agree with, since the issues began the same time Turbine did their "maintenance".
And Hrod, to answer your question, Roadrunner tech told me that the connection is being dropped once it reaches Turbine, it is reaching them just fine, and Roadrunner has provided the evidence to Turbine that supports this, however, is willing to change something on their end if need be, and do have ppl working directly with Turbine to resolve this issue.
Below is the email I received from Turbine. Am contacting T3 at Roadrunner again this morning to get an email address to forward this email to, so they are aware of what Turbine says as well.
Greetings ,
Thank you for your reply.
Beginning on or around 6/20/2012 we had begun receiving increasing reports of this issue and similar from players in AC, DDO and LOTRO and all appear to be connecting via Time Warner Cable, Brighthouse Cable, or RoadRunner Cable. This issue is not related to the status of the servers, the affected character(s) or the Turbine connections. We did review and believe the issues you have reported may be related to this outage.
From details received it is believed this is related to a regional ISP issue that seems to occur in the RoadRunner east coast connection affecting players on that ISP or as their connection transits through that ISP's network (most indications seem to point to the connection as it transits through RoadRunner in Virginia but that cannot be confirmed as of yet).
From the issues reported to be occurring it appears that UDP packet routing on one or more ports the games use for their connections are affected causing loading/logging in issues for character/characters using one of the affected ports when connecting. This has been affecting the games ability to maintain a connection to specific worlds, and even specific characters on the game worlds and the general connection stability.
We are recommending that you contact your ISP and highlight the issue, detailing with them that the game connects using UDP packets on ports 9000 through 9010 (for the general connection of DDO/LOTRO), 9000 to 9013 (for the general connection of AC), and also 2900 through 2910 (for the chat and voice chat connections of DDO/LOTRO) to and from *.lotro.com, *.ddo.com, and *.turbine.com servers.
Please also detail with them that it is believed to stem from issues with routing those connection types through RoadRunner's east coast backbone connection though this cannot be definitively confirmed from our testing or players attempts at connection adjustments.
We would recommend when contacting your ISP providing them with a "traceroute"* to the game servers as well to highlight the path that your connection is taking as well:
Click on the Windows "Start" button and choose:
"All Programs"
"Command Prompt"
In the command prompt window that opens type only one of the following commands (depending on which game is encountering this issue) hitting enter after:
tracert ac.turbine.com
tracert gls.ddo.com
tracert gls.lotro.com
* Note: A traceroute does not adequately reflect the issues that may be affecting the games connection as it does not use the same ports and protocols, it is simply a map of the path your connection currently uses. Also during the trace a result of "* * * Request timed out" is not an error in the connection, it indicates that the server was just not configured to report its identity when forwarding a trace route command.
Once that command completes if needed for copying and pasting to an email or other correspondence with your ISP you can right-click on the command prompt window choosing "Select All". Then right-click on the white highlighted area, this will copy the windows contents to the clipboard, at which point paste ("Ctrl" and "V") can be used to include it in any messaging.
We would also recommend periodically performing a full connection reset (steps included below) to attempt to aid in resetting the connection routing when possible.
Start by power cycling your router and/or modem (unplug them, wait 10 to 20 seconds, then plug them back in)
After they have reset also reboot the computer.
Upon rebooting and logging back into Windows perform these additional steps:
Click on the Windows "Start" button and then click on "All Programs" > "Accessories"
In the menu find the "Command Prompt" icon and right-click it choosing Run as Administrator*
(Note: On Windows XP just left-click the "Command Prompt" icon)
On the Command Prompt window that comes up type this command:
"ipconfig /flushdns" (no quotes) and hit enter.
When it finishes there should be a message of "Successfully flushed the DNS resolver cache" at which point you should reboot the computer one last time and then upon re-entering Windows relaunch the game. This may or may not result in the ability to reconnect to the game under the current circumstances.
We will be following up on this but please do also contact your ISP as they are more readily able to review their connection pathways and issues on those and whether there are any specific outages and timelines for remedying these.
Thank you,
The Turbine Technical Support Team
Turbine, powered by our fans.

CRICKET Australia is content with the referral system used in the Ryobi Cup despite players and coaches becoming increasingly frustrated with how the technology is used.
Tasmanian skipper George Bailey is also unlikely to face any sanctions for his post-match comments on Wednesday night, where he labelled the system "shocking and embarrassing".
The use of the system again came into question during Tasmania's narrow loss to Queensland at Bellerive, firstly when Tigers keeper-batsman Tim Paine was given out caught behind from a ball which brushed his glove.
Replays from behind were inconclusive and must have put some doubt in third umpire Paul Wilson's mind as he reviewed the delivery and the Tasmanian vice-captain twice stopped on the field when walking off.
Later during Queensland's run chase Peter Forrest survived an lbw shout off James Faulkner, only for Wilson to overturn the decision when replays showed the ball had narrowly pitched in line with leg stump.
A number of other close leg before shouts were not reviewed.
"Cricket Australia is comfortable the referral system used in the Ryobi competition is correcting decisions that need to be corrected," a CA spokesperson said yesterday.
"Looking at the evidence from last year there were 12 incorrect decisions that were corrected via the system, which is a good result for the tournament, for the players and for the fans.
"Cricket Australia remains confident in the system ... which itself was signed off by the playing conditions committee prior to the season commencing."
The referral system was introduced to help stamp out glaring mistakes made by the on-field umpires but already this year its use on close decisions has caused plenty of controversy.
Chief Executive of the Australian Cricketers' Association Paul Marsh said while the system was increasing the number of correct decisions being made, inconsistency was becoming an issue.
"It needs to be looked at, when it was agreed to be used we probably didn't foresee some of the issues," Marsh said. "The inconsistency around the available vision is of concern.
"It's something we need to discuss and I'm sure will be on the agenda."

Notes from March 17 TERG meeting
Monday, March 21st, 2011Attendees: Karen, Judith, Mirabelle, John, Giselle, Richard
As usual, we started with news and updates:
- Richard is giving a conference paper at an IEEE conference in Venice in May.
- Mirabelle and colleagues are to write a book chapter on feedback in the book Reconceptualising feedback in higher education: towards an agenda for effective change, to be published by Routledge.
- Judith, Giselle and their colleague Soraya have submitted a paper to the European Journal of Open Distance and eLearning (EURODL) for a special themed issue on creativity and open educational resources. Their paper is a case study of the video creation work in Block 5 of T215.
- Giselle, with Tina Wilson, is writing a book chapter on Web 2.0 and OER.
- Jon will be trialing his eSTEeM confidence-based marking project through T216, and is also intending to work on converting the T184 ECA into a part computer-marked exam with the objective of improving retention.
- Karen mentioned a possible new part-time PhD student, who has proposed a project about VLEs in schools.
The meeting then moved to general discussions. First, stimulated by Jon's discussion of his T184 project, we talked generally about examinations in OU modules. Giselle talked about the new VMware course for presentation in 2012B that she is currently chairing.
We finished the meeting with a discussion on finance. It was agreed that Mirabelle's Survey Monkey licence should be extended for a further year and that Karen's licence should also be extended and made available for other TERG members to use. Karen asked members to identify whether there were any conferences they would like to attend.

Study: Barefoot Running Less Efficient Than Lightweight Shoe
SportsOneSource Media: March 22, 2012
According to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Colorado in Boulder, running shoes make running physiologically easier than going barefoot. The study, published online in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, began by recruiting 12 well-trained male runners with extensive barefoot running experience.
The New York Times indicated that a few previous studies have indicated that it's easier to go barefoot in terms of physiological effort since more effort is required to handle the extra weight of a shoe.
In the new study, Runners were asked to run multiple times on treadmills while either wearing shoes (the Nike Mayfly at 150 grams) or unshod. When unshod, runners wore thin yoga socks to protect them from developing blisters and for hygiene purposes for the treadmills. Next, according to the Times' article, 150 grams' worth of thin lead strips were taped to the top of runners' stockinged feet. Adding an equal amount of weight to the bare foot promised to reveal whether barefoot running was physiologically more efficient than wearing shoes.
Researchers found that when barefoot runners and shod runners carried the same weight on their feet, barefoot running used almost 4 percent more energy during every step than running in shoes.
"What we found was that there seem to be adaptations that occur during the running stride that can make wearing shoes metabolically less costly," Jason R. Franz, a doctoral candidate at the University of Colorado who led the study, told the Times. The researchers believe that when barefoot, forces generated by the collision of foot and ground shift to the leg muscles absent the cushioning provided by shoes.
Moreover, the study found that even when unweighted barefoot running was compared foot-to-foot with running in the Mayflies, 8 of the 12 runners were slightly more efficient wearing shoes, even though they added more weight.
The study only looked only at the metabolic efficiency of wearing shoes, versus not. The scientists didn't evaluate whether barefoot running lowers injury risk.
The Times article concluded in part, that "serious racers might want to mull over the trade-off between having less mass on their feet when barefoot versus having greater potential strain on their leg muscles."
But for the average runner, Dr. Franz recommends that a more lightweight model might be better for many given that some cushioning spare leg muscles from extra train yet avoids the metabolic cost to wearing heavy running shoes.

VIVOBAREFOOT NEO Trail
The VIVOBAREFOOT Neo Trail is a great all around shoe that while it can be used for pretty much any activity from walking or cross-training but I found that I got the most comfort & satisfaction from them by taking them on the trails. Let me tell you that I am not that much of a trail runner myself and find more comfort on the roads. For me, the Neo is designed just for trails as I could feel my foot could mold around the rocks and uneven ground more than the flat road-what I'm trying to say it was more comfortable being on an uneven surface than the alternative.
All the shoes come with a removable insole but are intended to be worn without. The insole is strictly used for people who are transitioning or have a personal preference; however the shoes are designed for it to be removed leaving a 3.5mm outsole for ultimate barefoot experience.
The sole of the shoe is very supportive and made of durable rubber and provides from the debris that you will encounter on the trail. The exterior of the shoe is made of a thick mesh material but is still breathable. The shoe is comfortably tight around the ankle and the tread creates a very smooth foot strike. This curve to the tread helps to keep out water and moisture while keeping the foot very dry even while running in wet conditions. The toe box is very wide-wide enough that at first I questioned if I had the right size or not. VIVOBAREFOOT makes it that way so that when your foot strikes your toes will absorb the impact and not be restrict, thus giving it more of a natural running feel. When I say this, I mean that there is plenty of room for your toes to wiggle around and flex them back and forth which gives your foot more room to expand and contract with each step.
If you're looking for s study minimalist shoe to use over rough terrain, the VIVOBAREFOOT Neo Trails deserves attention & respect. The no drop heel & thin, aggressive tread provide an amazing feel for the ground that will satisfy any minimalist shoe wearer's requirement and don't forget about the extra wide toe box that gives your feet enough room to move with each step without feeling constricted.
I spoke about the treads on the soles of the shoes as they have amazing traction in everything from wet & sticky conditions with Fall leaves on the ground to your typical muddy ground. The shoe laces are a little long so I had to double tie them, but that is not that big of a deal considering the awesomeness of these shoes.
On one last note, these shoes do demand some respect as there is little cushioning compared to your typical running shoe and you should follow the directions given by easing into them slowly and building up your muscles and helping avoid injury.
The Neo Trails weigh in at 6.9 oz and list for $130 and are well worth every penny. For more information go to: www.vivobarefoot.com
Barefoot Running - by Dr. Wayne T. Hansen D.C.
"I have found in my practice that people even with chronic foot and ankle problems are finding relief when they shed their shoes."
In my practice I see a lot of foot injuries, everything from plantar fasciitis to neuromas, and the thing I have been telling most of them....THROW AWAY YOUR SHOES! Barefoot running or running in minimal footwear seems to be all the craze right now. Even companies like Nike who at one time were putting electronics into their shoes are now selling minimalist footwear. So why should you consider your next pair of shoes to be minimalists or the ones God gave you?
Harvard University's skeletal biology lab summarized their findings, "Our research asked how and why humans can and did run comfortably without modern running shoes. We tested and confirmed what many people knew already: that most experienced, habitually barefoot runners tend to avoid landing on the heel and instead land with a forefoot or midfoot strike. The bulk of our published research explores the collisional mechanics of different kinds of foot strikes. We show that most forefoot and some midfoot strikes (shod or barefoot) do not generate the sudden, large impact transients that occur when you heel strike (shod or barefoot). Consequently, runners who forefoot or midfoot strike do not need shoes with elevated cushioned heels to cope with these sudden, high transient forces that occur when you land on the ground. Therefore, barefoot and minimally shod people can run easily on the hardest surfaces in the world without discomfort from landing. If impact transient forces contribute to some forms of injury, then this style of running (shod or barefoot) might have some benefits, but that hypothesis remains to be tested."
As many of us know, how we run is more important than what is on our feet. What the researchers at Harvard are showing is that forefoot or midfoot strikes are the best. I have found in my practice that people even with chronic foot and ankle problems are finding relief when they shed their shoes.
So how do you start barefoot running? Here is a list of steps you can begin with:
- Land gently on your forefoot and gradually let the heel come down.
- Transition slowly (don't go all barefoot all at once, start off running around the block).
- Stretch your calves and Achilles tendon.
- Don't do anything that causes pain.
- Listen to your body and run totally barefoot to learn good form.
- Buy minimal shoes that lack high heels and stiff soles. (Zero drop)
- Consult a doctor who has knowledge about barefoot running or running in minimalist shoes.
As Christopher McDougall said, "The only people against barefoot running is the ones who haven't tried it."
Give it a try and let us know how you have been doing.

Almost exactly nine months ago on May 22, 2012, I wrote an editorial in the Fort Collins Coloradoan newspaper, Fort Colllins Should Ban Fracking. And yesterday, on Feb. 19, a sharply divided Fort Collins City Council voted 5-2 to ban fracking in the City of Fort Collins.
Nine months ago the conversation around fracking was relatively new in Colorado and few people and environmental groups were directly addressing it. Now, nine months later, very much has changed—fracking is in the news constantly, many environmental groups are engaged in the fight to stop fracking and the issue is escalating wildly throughout the public across the state.
Fort Collins Bans Fracking as Democracy Comes Alive in Colorado
Frac sand mining awakens activism in southeastern Minnesota
Before a big energy corporation threatened to turn the bluff behind her house into a sand mine in early 2011, Amy Nelson's idea of civic activism was to volunteer at the United Way.
A Ronald Reagan fan and former provost at Southeast Technical College in Red Wing, Nelson now stands on the front lines of an anti-frac sand movement that is spreading rapidly across southeastern Minnesota. She and her fellow "fractivists" plan to rally at the State Capitol Tuesday as the Legislature takes up a set of regulatory proposals in the effort to balance the economic benefits of the burgeoning industry against concerns about air, water and health.
35,000 Protesters Demand Immediate Climate Action At 'Largest Climate Rally In U.S. History'
On Sunday, an estimated crowd of 35,000 people joined the Forward On Climate rally in Washington, DC, where protesters delivered a clear message to President Obama: Take immediate action on climate change by rejecting the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.
Organizers of the rally described as the "largest in U.S. history" also called on the president to issue overdue Clean Air Act standards to limit carbon pollution from power plants.
Hanford Nuclear Tank Leaking Radioactive Waste
The long-delayed cleanup of the nation's most contaminated nuclear site became the subject of more bad news Friday, when Washington Gov. Jay Inslee announced that a radioactive waste tank there is leaking.
The news raises concerns about the integrity of similar tanks at south-central Washington's Hanford nuclear reservation and puts added pressure on the federal government to resolve construction problems with the plant being built to alleviate environmental and safety risks from the waste.
Watch RFK, Jr.'s Pre-Arrest Speech Calling People to Attend the Biggest Climate Rally in U.S. History
Waterkeeper Alliance President, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., joined a climate protest yesterday outside the White House calling on the Obama Administration to protect our oceans and waterways by rejecting the Keystone XL Pipeline. He was arrested yesterday with his son Conor and 46 others protesting the oil industry and sending a message to Washington that President Obama should stand up against the Keystone XL pipeline.
"It's unfortunate that civil disobedience is the only recourse against a catastrophic and criminal enterprise that will enrich a few while impoverishing the rest of humanity and threatening the future of civilization," said Kennedy..
NY town of 9/11 workers wages gas pipeline fight
After four months helping in ground zero recovery post-Sept. 11, New York City Police Officer Nick Russo sought respite by moving with his family to the rolling hills of Orange County, on the northern fringe of the metropolitan area.
The county has gotten a reputation as a haven for generations of retired or commuting police and firefighters from the city; the hamlet of Westtown wears the nickname "Guns & Hoses."
DEP opens investigation of methane in Dimock, PA water well
State environmental regulators are investigating high levels of methane in a Dimock Twp. water well in an area of the community still off-limits to some natural gas drilling operations because of a past methane incident.
The Department of Environmental Protection began the investigation last week after it received a complaint of turbid water in a private well and later found "high levels" of methane dissolved in the water and airborne gas accumulating in the well, spokeswoman Colleen Connolly said.
Tests at four other water wells did not show elevated levels of the gas, she said, but the state plans to continue monitoring.

So my mom took the plunge and bought a new fiesta, and she rang up for the free ford insurance so she could get the car registered, and they have offered her a good deal for an annual policy including bridging insurance (or something similar) for the first year and offered to pay the cancellation fees from her current insurers. She rang her current insurers who couldn't match the quote so she is considering moving to the ford insurance.
So, is it any good??
has anyone used it and know how helpful they are should a claim be made
anyone heard and reviews (good or bad) about it?
should she avoid it?
any opinions gratefully received

Pull to refresh is by far the most popular paradigm used in refreshing feed based views on an iOS device. First introduced by Loren Brichter of Tweetie, pull to refresh has made its way into just about every touch based device out there. Here's the latest incarnation on the PS Vita (taken from @mattgemmell):
In fact, the idea was so good that Brichter decided to legally slap his name on it. Here's a picture to help you better understand how this technology works (taken from gorumors.com):
Thankfully, Brichter doesn't require you to obtain a license to use it shamelessly in your own app, bless him!
Current Solutions
Now, our own Miso app also uses this familiar pattern to refresh our views. But the task of integrating a 3rd party library into our app was not as idiot proof as we had hoped. Here are some popular libraries and why they made me feel uncomfortable:
- Enormego's EGOTableViewPullRefresh
- Leah Culver's PullToRefresh
Both libraries are essentially the same, with slight variations. Both libraries employs the use of 3 absolutely crucial methods of UIScrollViewDelegate:
- (void)scrollViewWillBeginDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView; - (void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView; - (void)scrollViewDidEndDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView willDecelerate:(BOOL)decelerate;
In enormego's implementation, it is expected that the developer chain the scrollview's delegate methods to the EGOTableViewPullRefresh to drive the refresh cycle's core logic. This isn't ideal because it forces the developer to implement those delegate methods regardless of the developer's requirements. This solution could definitely be more self-contained and less intrusive on the clients code.
In Culver's implementation, the problem is the opposite of enormego's. The delegate methods are literally stolen from you in order to drive the logic. If you implemented them yourself, the entire thing breaks.
One last variant is to have the library become the UIScrollView's delegate, but also chain every single method back to the original delegate. This is fine, except it becomes extremely laborious to maintain especially if your UIScrollView is actually a UITableView (which extends the protocol UIScrollViewDelegate), or if apple adds some more delegate methods.
Both libraries combine the logic and views into one class, perhaps for the sake of simplicity. What if I didn't want a boring rotating arrow but an animating rainbow? There's basically no way to customize the views without modifying the source code directly.
Introducing MSPullToRefreshController
Here's my main beef with existing libraries:
- Too intrusive on my own code. I either play an essential part to making the library work, or the library will not work if I exercise some innocent freedoms.
- I couldn't provide any custom views.
- I couldn't provide any custom behaviors to the refresh cycle.
Instead of whining like I did, our very own CTO (Tim Lee) offered an actual solution to Beef #1: KVO (Key Value Observing). Specifically, to observe the contentOffset property of UIScrollViews.
[_scrollView addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"contentOffset" options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew | NSKeyValueObservingOptionOld | NSKeyValueObservingOptionPrior context:NULL];
Using this trick, I was able to secretly offer pull to refresh features to any UIScrollView without having to become its delegate. With this simplification, I was able to quickly extend pull to refresh to all 4 edges of a UIScrollView, just in case you wanted to use the bottom side to load more, or if your feed was laid out in a carousel fashion.
Through the small exercise above, I saw MSPullToRefreshController as a self-contained object that handles nothing more except managing the logic involved pull to refresh cycles. It just didn't make sense to add anything else to it, unless it enhanced the core behaviors. Translation: Beef #2′s solution doesn't belong in this class.
To solve Beef #2 and #3 together, I decided to introduce the familiar delegate pattern to MSPullToRefreshController. It is through these methods that the developer will be able to customize behaviors and transform custom views to reflect each state in the refresh cycle.
Now I could easily write a wrapper around a MSPullToRefreshController instance and recreate any existing pull to refresh library by implementing 6 easy delegate methods! In fact, I've done just that in the included sample project on github!
Though this library is very simple, this marks my first step in to the world of open source (to reinforce our engineering culture per @nicolas). As @joshbuddy and @nesquena would say, 99% of open source projects stem from frustrations with existing solutions (or lack thereof). I hope somewhere someone will find this more suitable to his/her needs. Thanks for reading!

Last week, I had the privilege of attending the Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles. (If you missed my colleague James daSilva's excellent coverage of the K-12 education and workforce track, you can read it.) It was fascinating, and a bit disorienting, to hear some of the wealthiest people in the country talking about issues I think about every day: namely, the state of K-12 education and the training and preparation of the next generations of the American workforce.
My next stop was the Software & Information Industry Association Ed Tech Industry Summit in San Francisco, where I joined professional peers in hearing product-development news from some of the smartest minds in education. The two events were alike in theme but strikingly different in tone. The big take-away from hearing about the state of American education from education professionals versus non-education professionals is that the two groups appear to be talking past each other. Indeed, it appears they are hardly having the same conversation.
It's reassuring to know that K-12 education and workforce preparedness concern hedge fund managers and Fortune 500 executives, but at Milken, the diagnosis was dire: The U.S. is falling behind its Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development peers in achievement in reading, math literacy and science education. As a consequence, our position in the global power hierarchy is in jeopardy. We risk falling behind to a degree that will be impossible to make up, because the education system is broken.
Everywhere was the message that we are under-emphasizing science, technology, engineering and math preparation, that Generation Y doesn't complete college or does so lacking critical-thinking skills and the ability to synthesize complex information — skills necessary for the 21st-century economy. The prescription? More rigorous teacher training, better testing and game-based learning. ("Find these kids where they are — on their Xbox.")
That idea of game-based learning was the common thread linking the two events. The SIIA event seemed largely about using technology to make learning fun for kids. Several entrants in SIIA's annual innovation-incubator showcase are game-based science startups. Overall, the tone of the Ed Tech Industry Summit was more optimistic. Despite budget crunches induced by the recession, vendors are navigating budget shortfalls and helping educators find funding to implement solutions. The diversifying ecosystem of public, charter and independent schools is taking on the challenge of meeting divergent learning needs of all children along the socioeconomic spectrum.
Everyone acknowledges that the environment is tough, but I'm no longer hearing from vendors that "flat is the new up." There are decent expectations for growth. The main areas of concern at the SIIA event seemed to be a dramatic rise in diagnoses of special needs, particularly autism, and the difficulty of getting students lower down the economic ladder on a path to success in college when parental support is tepid or absent.
There's another point of view, of course, and that is that of the educator. I'll address that view, and offer advice for both sides, in my next post.

After reading parts 1 and 2 to your post, there's some truth in regards to the old saying… There is three sides to every story and in this case, mine, yours, and the child's. "How can we have a more constructive conversation about education? http://smartblogs.com/leadership/201 &hellip… via @SBLeaders". One way is to make sure all parties are in attendance. We attend conferences on both ends as if we are burning candles on each, some not truly understanding that the middle of the candle burns just as well. What if we lit the candle from the middle? The voice we should hear, the one which is on fire, would be that of the child. Now that would be an engagement. What would happen if the ends stopped burning during that minute? Would it really matter? I would agree that we spend so much money at these conferences and conventions and if you look around, neither party tends to invite the other, let alone invite the real benefactors… the students, to these elaborate shindigs. When will we let the true expert give the advice on their own learning. Are we afraid of what we might hear? Well, educated young minds who are capable of thinking critically. Well, I've been on both ends of this candle and now, I'm guiding others to deal with that candle's middle and the sad part in all of this is that the entire candle continues to melt…..without replacement…. while we wait.

They alluded to that fact about Sookie and Jason's parents back in Season 3 when Claudine said "it wasn't the water that killed them".
^ wow, how do you remember that
Well, didn't think they'd kill him off so quickly...so...colour me surprised, I guess.
I was also pretty surprised to see Roman killed off this early in the series. At the same time, I think I expected more out of his character than what we've seen. I wasn't very impressed with the writing or portrayal of his character to date.
Still telling it like it is.
This show is turning into little more than a SyFy original.
I did laugh out loud when Lafayette's mom said, "Jesus loves the little faggots."
I am a little bored of all these side stories now. Terry with the Ifrit, Sam with the hate crime, Sookie with the night club. I hope that Roman isn't gone, but I have a feeling he is.
^ yes, I suspect we were all thinking that but instead we get a Hoyt scene with a drive by "Die fanger!" shooting of the guy sucking on his neck and rubbing against him. No need to read between the lines on that one.
I'm sick to death of hollywood's lousy treatments of anything male on male. It's like they keep saying, "All of you are sick and perverted and can't experience any true love or romance and always die in the end or murder somebody."
or is it just me
Seems to be true on this show. They don't kill Sookie or Bill or Eric or Alcide, but they do kill Jesus and...didn't Lafayette have another BF that they killed?
Looks like Hoyt's dumbass friendgang are the hate killers. Hope they all end up like the proprietor of the weapon shop.
If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities. -- Voltaire (1694-1778).
^ In season two? Lafayette was doing that old man for money. The one that Jason and that girl kidnapped.
Same here Mystik, really surprised and hate they killed him off so soon. Was really hoping to see him showing lots of skin like he did on OZ. Was hoping he was going to top Eric or Bill atleast once..lol Well I can dream of Eric down on all 4's, naked and Roman kneeling behind him, hands on his hips going in for the mount..
To play on the "fangs" entendre it's clear Alan has NO balls.What this show could be,and the mess it's become(albeit with some good stuff,just increasingly overtaken with the puzzling,incredulous,hypocritical,stupid,or nonsensical)how could he fuck things up so bad?It's true about the gay stuff,particularly guy on guy.....instead of complex,mature,erotic takes there's always something negative about the act underlying,or someone gets ganked like Jesus or Talbot.
Amazing things ahead for the Mets ....hosts of the MLB All Star Game in 2013
for some reason i dont think roman is gone, because when you get a stake dont you automatically burst into the blood mess? but he was just starting to lose color.
so i dont see him dying, one thing in true blood, unless you actually SEE them die, they arent dead lol. since i didnt see roman explode, i still have hope. im thinking bill throws russell off and roman just has a bad chest wound, but the stake didnt touch the heart.
Music – Season 5 | True-Blood.net - True Blood season 5 news, spoilers, & photos!
A site with names/artist and links to all the songs played by episode
just like that franklin dude that was holding tara hostage, she freaking bashed his skull in with a mallet, dude came back an episode later fully restored. haha.
A friend and I theorized since Nora is all batshit crazy, Roman is all possessive about the phylactery, feeds his blood to others...he might 'survive' and be Lilith incarnate.
I don't think there's anymore major casting for the season, and we didn't see him in the back-end trailer for the rest of the show either.
You guise, spoiler alert, but I'm so sad they've killed Roman off already.
EDIT: Oh, you guise have already clocked the tea on him. Y'all know I don't be reading y'alls posts.
It went down tonight. I'm really here fa Luna this season. And I oddly found the Obama hate group storyline riveting after all this Chic-fil-A mess.
Well, glad they wrapped up the two story lines I haven't enjoyed this season.
At least the last three can focus on the vampires!
Quotes I enjoyed this episode:
"You've used your dick for a compass"
"What am I supposed to tell the press, that you turned into a dog and she turned into you?"
"Werechickens n shit"
"Why didn't you just say that. Why you spirits gotta be all cryptic?"
So what is the deal with this Lilith? She must not be real but then who's blood is that they drank and what's in it to make them so high?
lafatette has the sassiest lines
My favorite true blood lines
Pam: Just because we drank a bitch together does not make us Oprah and Gayle.
Bill: We were in the presence of God.
Eric: We were high as fuc-ing kites.
afayette: Well is you ok?
Ruby Jean: I'll tell you who not ok, Jesus.
Lafayette: I know, he dead.
Ruby Jean: Well that explains why he not working around here no more.
Sookie: First of all, I've seen enough horror movies to know you don't split up when you're in a big, scary asylum and there's a crazed killer on the loose. Second, I think it's fair to say my microwave fingers and the sun are about the only things around here that seem to have any effect on Russell. So the way I see it, it's me protecting you from him instead of the other way around. Third, I got a headache and I gotta pee something fierce so I'd just as soon get this over with
Lafayette [to Sookie]: You is the angel of death.
"Nobody fucks with us in our own house." Haha, vampire Tara is so badass. Her and Pam have a great dynamic.
I noticed plot issues last night. If this Warlow vampire was to have Sookie, well she's almost 30. Isn't he a little late on a pick-her-up, especially since her powers have been manifesting since like...infancy? Also, where did Hoyt come up with a sudden move to Alaska? Dude was just on the way home from the hospital, kidnapped etc...I understand we can suspend disbelief but geez, just seems like a way to rip out the tertiary characters.
Oh and the actress that plays Luna is an AWFUL fucking actress. Everything is so forced. Ugh.
And lastly I like how Andy's fairy chick (can't remember her name...) is extremely pregnant. Ha!
I loved that scene...but they KILLED THE SHERIFF (but they did not stake the deputy...). They're in big trouble now.
I think Warlow is dead, but reaching back to try to claim Sookie. Might have taken him a while to be able to do that. Either that or he's just really far away. Who knows where the contract was written? Were the Stackhouses even in Louisiana in 1702?
As for Hoyt...I figured his friends came to visit him in the hospital and said something like "we're getting out of this fucking town while we still have blood in our veins. We're taking off for a gig in Alaska. Come with us!" And he did.
Maurella. (Watching with the captions on helps.) And that WAS interesting. Do you suppose that's Andy's child?
If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities. -- Voltaire (1694-1778).
You know who I'm really sick of? Russell. He's just not even interesting anymore. Oh, there are other characters I want to see die (Salome, Steve...all the Lilith-worshippers, really, except Eric), but I'm so bored with Russell that a summary staking (with a crossbow from a distance even) would be fine. Just get him off the screen permanently as soon as possible.
I really want to watch Steve die slowly. Silvered and ripped apart by werewolves, maybe.
If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities. -- Voltaire (1694-1778).
Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on with Lilith and how they are going to end this season in 2 episodes?
I'm a little upset this season has been filled with constantly waiting for something to happen and now it's almost over?
And the characters with the greatest depth or most interesting personalities have been given such little screen time. Hopefully the writers step up their game.
Have Alcide fuck Jason. What would be the harm in that? Really. Isn't it time that slut had his cherry popped?
Don't you just know he'd enjoy it.
Someone posed an interesting theory on this other site today.
What if Lilith was first a fairy who was turned into a vampire. Essentially, she "lost her light" and turned into a vampire as she was no longer a fairy without the juice. This would explain why they would high off her blood and why Claude tried so hard to convince Sookie to hold on to whatever power she had left. It might also explain how Lilith is appearing as she is when they drank the blood. As Godric said, he evolved when he died or hell, he probably figured it out before he died.
You know what you might just be right! I don't know why I didn't think of that lol. Now if they would have just tested the sunlight while they were high to see if they could daywalk.
I love how Russell got fed up with the Lilith bullcrap and threatened all of them in his real accent. I always wondered where he was from. I think he should have slaughtered all of them except Bill and Eric of course. I just wanna see him go wild since nobody else is strong enough to really stop him.
So, I am assuming Russell will die as the fairies will go all Power Rangers on him (although many will die). Kind of saw that coming.
Also, I'm assuming Nora will die in addition to Salome (the former will kill the latter with Eric's help). I'm also assuming Pam will end Rosalyn (is that her name?). I guess they're just going with a total bloodbath for the last episode next weekend? They can't have all of the Authority remaining.
I'm thinking the elder fairy had all that planned herself. She knew that Russell would kill her and I think this is part of her plan to end him. I suspect the same thing happened to Warlow. I think the fairies have the the power to trap Vampires in another dimension which is what I suspect happened to Warlow and it's why he can only be seen how Sookie saw him. Therefore, Russell probably thought he had won when he took the elder fairies light but I think he might have screwed himself since her whole existence was made up of so many different dimensions. I don't think Russell will be able to handle it and eventually be trapped like Warlow.
The actor who plays Russell Edgington is just so boss. His acting in just the last few minutes of the show was the best of the entire episode. I actually got up and praised the man just on the acting alone. Beautiful.
He's a really good actor, but I'll be glad when that horrible character is really, permanently (or as much as you can be on TB) dead.
What I'd LIKE to see happen is every single vampire in the Authority bunker except Jessica and Eric get fried. And let's make Russell watch Steve burn slowly, then die. I'm hoping the fae can fry him with their combined light (the phrase 'sun wall' comes to mind).
But that would pretty well end the series. It's the writers' job to give me (well, the fans generally) enough of what I want so I keep watching, but not enough so that I'm completely satisfied. I'm hoping they at least end Russell, who I'm bored with (nothing against the actor, who is great).
If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities. -- Voltaire (1694-1778).
Don't get your hopes up guys. True Blood finales always disappoint.

Well I hope that they at least wrap up all of these storylines so that we don't have to deal with it next season.

The risk of cardiovascular disease in systemic sclerosis: a population-based cohort study
Annals of Rheumatic Diseases, 08/21/2012
Clinical Article
Man A et al. – The findings provide the first general population–based evidence that systemic sclerosis is associated with an increased risk of developing myocardial infarction, stroke and peripheral vascular disease.
Methods- The authors conducted a cohort study using a UK primary care database containing records from 1986 to 2011.
- SSc diagnoses, outcomes and cardiovascular risk factors were identified from electronic medical records.
- The authors conducted two cohort analyses: MI and stroke, and PVD, excluding individuals with prevalent disease at baseline for each analysis.
- They estimated HRs comparing SSc with age–, sex– and entry time–matched comparison cohorts, adjusting for potential cardiovascular risk factors.
- Among 865 individuals with SSc (85.8% women, mean age 58.7 years), the incidence rates (IRs) of MI and stroke were 4.4 and 4.8 per 1000 person–years (PY), versus 2.5 and 2.5 per 1000 PY in the comparison cohort.
- The corresponding adjusted HRs were 1.80 (95% CI 1.07 to 3.05) for MI and 2.61 (95% CI 1.54 to 4.44) for stroke.
- Among 858 individuals with SSc (85.3% female, mean age 58.9 years), the IR of PVD was 7.6 per 1000 PY versus 1.9 per 1000 PY in the comparison cohort, with an adjusted HR of 4.35 (95% CI 2.74 to 6.93).

White House Said to Be Confident Geithner Will Stay at Treasury
President Barack Obama's senior advisers are confident Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner will remain in his job even though he hasn't made his intentions public, an administration official said.
Geithner met recently with Vice President Joe Biden and laid out his reasons for wanting to leave the post. Biden outlined why it was vital that Geithner remain, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement has been made.
A departure by Geithner would represent another blow to an administration that confronts a weak economy, a declining stock market and uncertainty over how it will resolve controversy over the deficit.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index tumbled 4.8 percent yesterday and two-year Treasury yields plunged to a record low on signs the recovery is flagging. U.S. employers' payrolls rose by 117,000 workers after a 46,000 increase in June that was more than originally estimated, according to Labor Department data released today. The S&P index fell 0.8 percent to 1,190.26 at 11:06 a.m. in New York today, while the two-year yield rose to 0.29 percent from 0.26 percent.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said in his daily news briefing yesterday that Geithner hasn't made a decision yet.
"He has said he will be here for the foreseeable future," Carney said, referring to previous public comments by the Treasury secretary. "That's what he tells us."
Group of Seven
Geithner has been engaged in recent discussions about events such as the Group of Seven meeting in France next month and efforts to overhaul the housing-finance system, another administration official said. Geithner hasn't been delegating more authority than usual or given any indications that he is planning to leave, the official said.
Geithner, 49, previously signaled to White House officials that he was considering leaving the administration once Obama reached an agreement with Congress to raise the federal debt limit. Obama signed a bill raising the debt limit on Aug. 2.
The Treasury secretary is the last remaining member of Obama's original economic team after the departures last year of advisers including National Economic Council Director Lawrence Summers and Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag. Austan Goolsbee, who replaced Christina Romer as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, leaves today to return to the University of Chicago.
In an appearance this week on ABC television's "Good Morning America" program, Geithner said he hadn't made up his mind.
'A Lot of Challenges'
"I haven't made that decision yet," Geithner said. "And, you know, we've got a lot of challenges, the president's got a lot of challenges, and, you know, I got other pressures on me, too. But I'll make that decision at the right moment."
Geithner said on June 30 that his son would be returning to New York to finish high school, and that "I'm going to be commuting for a while." Before joining the administration in January 2009, Geithner was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, a post that put him at the center of the government's response to the financial crisis of 2008.
"It's pretty understandable why he would want to leave," said Vincent Reinhart, who worked with Geithner as director of monetary affairs for the Federal Reserve Board. "It is a meat grinder of jobs -- both jobs -- through the hardest financial times in anybody's memory."
Still, Reinhart, now a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television that he expects Geithner to stay at his post.
Public Service
"I think someone who has spent his life in public service has got to be sensitive to the George Marshall moment when the president of the United States calls you and says you really can't leave," Reinhart said. "I think it would be very hard for him to do it."
Senator Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat, said this week he hopes Geithner "stays on for the foreseeable future." Because of Republican opposition to Obama administration nominees, "I'm not sure we'd get to a Treasury secretary confirmation," Warner told MSNBC.
"If you want to vote against somebody, have at it, vote against them," Warner said. "But don't leave them in this limbo land."
Jake Siewert, a Treasury counselor close to Geithner who worked on issues ranging from financial markets to media strategy, is leaving this month, he said in an e-mail yesterday. Siewert is returning to New York, where his family lives.

I'd been doing that, going out just after sunset--
the sky a bowl of blue-green light,
a basin filled with cold, still seawater.
Shops in the advancing dusk looked like fish tanks
flooded with neutral overhead lighting that fell
on personnel about to close up for the day.
When I tugged back a sleeve, the wrist was naked--
forgot my watch again--and both hands chapped and rough.
Why do our hands have five fingers, no more, and no less?
Zoologists would know. Meanwhile
one of the routine, strictly business
clocks glimpsed through windows
during the rounds of my unofficial beat
could substitute for a watch. The first said 6:25;
the second, several storefronts down, 6:22;
a third, 6:29. Time didn't agree with itself.
Tonight, it didn't agree with me, either;
but then it never entirely had (and never will?).
A white-haired man with olive skin and tattered clothes
limped into Met Food and panhandled the clerk,
one I recognized, her face mild and familiar as bread.
For half a second--strange--it felt permanent,
indestructible as the tiny gleam
that pearled in the dark pupil of her eye.
6:33 ... And now a go-getter poised at 6:45.
Evening star in a sky by then blue-black ink,
and I roughly fifteen minutes older,
arms dangling at my sides.
But no wiser, only a bit farther
into the walk, with a sudden hunger pang,
the gut's alarm bell, sounding dinner hour.
All I'd seen, the streets, the clock-faces,
menagerie of the populous city, were saying
(so to speak), "Feast your eyes on this."
If the banquet had agreed with me,
and if I'd had a shelter to return to ...
Time had moved in back there, a silent
dimension unconcerned that it would turn us
out on the street (first you, and after
you'd gone, then me), according to some
ironclad schedule followed or policed
at glacial speed by supervising hands ...
Or, worse, when my door swung open,
by spidery digitals that glared
across the darkened room with their 6:58--
numbers reflected counter, greener, flame-like
(detail, the lost-and-found of deity)
in the crystal of the watch I left there on the table.
Alfred Corn's 10th book of poems, Tables, will be published this January. He spent the earlier part of this year as a visiting fellow at Clare Hall, Cambridge, working on a new version of Rilke's Duino Elegies.
