Is it new to you and are you familiar with its operation ? Does the slide lock back on a empty magazine ? The slide release only works when the slide is lined up with the half moon notch towards front of slide...Best way is to just lock the slide back...I also wouldn't keep using it with it in that position...I have 6 Sigs going back to 92 and never heard or saw that happen...If you can field strip it take it apart and make sure the recoil spring and guide are installed properly...I would definitely inspect the barrel for damage where the slide release sits if you been still shooting it.
Thanks for quick reply. I bought it new few months ago. I'm pretty familiar with it. The slide lock lever goes back to locking position and gun shoots fine. I do have the slide all the way back and locked but when I try to release the lever it does not open all the way.
Did you see the photo i included in the thred
Yes...I have the exact gun...The slide release catch is a simple operation...Only thing I can even think of is It's not seating and catching the barrel right which tells me the barrel isn't sitting right.
Does the recoil spring guide stick out just a bit ?
No it does not. I took a video of me trying to release it and I took couple of pictures out of the video.
Ok so I know whats wrong but you can't fix it without taking it apart.. I would lock the slide back and really put some effort in getting it in the unlock position , don't try to force it in the locked...Worse case you might have to ship it back to Sig...The key is getting it to the unlock so you can take it apart and reassembly it.
Ok cool. I'll try that when I get home. I'll led you know what happens. Thank you for all your help and the quick replays. :-)

i pitched a batch of yeast last night, woke up this morning...and nothing was happening. Usually after the same duration in the past i have activity and krausen. Then i remembered that this time i pitched the yeast and then hit it with oxygen from a tank. I am thinking this might be less harmless to the yeast than say the same order would have been if using air as opposed to oxygen. I am thinking about pitching more yeast now if i don't see anything happen by this afternoon.
I've been assured by the people at Wyeast, that a single oxygenation will not hurt the yeast.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
you need to exceed 20ppm or something of O2 to 'burn' the yeast. that'd be one very very long O2 injection, or lots of small 30 second bursts. the thing to remember is, when you inject O2, you're giving the yeast a lot of oxygen to grow more yeast, which is 'pre fermentation'. when the O2 is gone, they'll go nuts on sugar.
it sounds as if the oxygen would also increase the lag time, since fermentation can only begin once the oxygen has been expended, thus the more oxygen present the longer it will take to deplete before fermentation of sugar. this makes perfect sense to me if that in fact is what is going on.
Yep -- lots of O2 equals a longer lag, but probably a cleaner fermentation. That's why it always makes me wonder why people are so obsessed with lag times. And as stated above, apparently the yeast manufacturers now say that it is nearly impossible to over-oxygenate your beer unless you are oxygenating over and over or continuously. There are some crazy myths floating around out there about how easy it is to over-oxygenate and how oxygenation kits are too risky to use. Silly stuff.
agreed. you'd have to try REALLY hard to over oxygenate a beer even w/ pure oxygen. also agree about not freaking out over lag times. lag time can leave you susceptible to infection, sure....but if your sanitizing habits are good, you really have nothing to be worrying about.

Pronunciation: /ˈsərjən/
Definition of surgeon in English:
A medical practitioner qualified to practice surgery.
Example sentences
- Early group portraits show noble surgeons parading their medical knowledge with elitist pomp.
- Many surgeons working in private practice and in cosmetic clinics would not meet these criteria.
- Patients with jaundice are still most often referred to surgeons, though in practice few require surgery.
Middle English: from Anglo-Norman French surgien, contraction of Old French serurgien, based on Latin chirurgia, from Greek kheirourgia 'handiwork, surgery', from kheir 'hand' + ergon 'work'.
The key thing about surgeons in terms of word history is that they work with their hands, using manual skill to cure or treat people rather than giving them drugs. Surgeon is a shortening of Old French serurgian, which came via Latin chirurgia from Greek kheirourgia 'handiwork', from kheir 'hand' and ergon 'work'. See also work

Peterborough 2-1 Plymouth: Report
Lewis keeps Posh in promotion pictureGoalkeeper Joe Lewis was the hero with a last-gasp penalty save as Peterborough produced a super second-half turnaround to beat Plymouth 2-1 and stay in the automatic promotion picture.Darren Ferguson's men overturned an interval deficit to plunge rock-bottom Plymouth a step closer to relegation, but only after Lewis had brilliantly kept out substitute Luke Summerfield's spot-kick at the death.Earlier goals from defender Ryan Bennett and star striker Craig Mackail-Smith - who struck his 30th goal of the season - did the trick for a Posh team chasing an instant return to Championship football.Visitors Plymouth were terrific in the first period and eventually hit the front seven minutes before the break when skipper Carl Fletcher poked home a low Simon Walton free-kick delivery.Posh needed just 10 minutes of the second half to level when Bennett was picked out by an exquisite left-wing cross from Grant McCann and powerfully headed home and Mackail-Smith steered a low Mark Little cut-back under the body of goalkeeper David Button for the home side's second.Posh needed a stunning Lewis save to keep out a Walton header soon after and then relied on their big number one again at the death to save Summerfield's penaltyy after Miller had pointed to the spot when Stephane Zubar went down in the box.

Steve Bucci, Heritage Foundation
Federal officials say Chinese hackers broke into the networks of the Government Accountability Office and the Government Printing Office back in March. While news of Chinese cyber attacks on federal agencies isn't unprecedented, the March attacks, first reported by the New York Times, have some observers scratching their heads. They say it's unclear why those two agencies would be targeted -- particularly in the case of GPO. Steve Bucci is director of the Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign and National Security Policy at the Heritage Foundation. He's also former deputy assistant Defense secretary. He said the attacks shouldn't come as a surprise on In Depth with guest host Jared Serbu.

Senate bill would give GPO new name
New bipartisan legislation is aiming to rebrand the 153-year-old Government Printing Office. But that doesn't mean you'll stop seeing the GPO initials stamped on government documents any time soon. The bill, introduced by Sens.

GPO chief says its time to update agency name to reflect digital push

BULGARIANS are still rejoicing over the release of their nurses from Libya. Most believe it was secured only because their country joined the European Union in January. Sergey Stanishev, the Socialist prime minister, encourages this view, because it reinforces his shaky coalition. So does President Georgi Parvanov, another Socialist in trouble, who welcomed the six at the airport and promptly signed official pardons.
Bulgaria is in the honeymoon stage of EU membership. Accession has fuelled a construction boom from the Black Sea to Sofia. Foreigners are pouring money into property; local builders are so scarce that workers are being recruited in Belarus and Ukraine. The economy will grow by over 6% this year. So many Bulgarians have taken mortgages that the central bank has introduced loan curbs.
Yet some are still waiting for their EU benefits. The Socialists put a junior coalition partner, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, in charge of the agriculture ministry. Its leader, Ahmed Dogan, a wily politician from Bulgaria's Turkish minority, is good at finding jobs for supporters, less so at getting EU money flowing. Eight months after accession, most Bulgarian farmers are still waiting for their first cheques from Brussels.
Mr Stanishev and Mr Parvanov also seem unaware that membership brings obligations. In June the European Commission, under pressure from its Bulgarian and Romanian members, softened a report chastising both governments for doing too little to tackle corruption and organised crime. But if more progress is not made in a year's time, the pair may face sanctions.
The report singled out Bulgaria on organised crime. Contract killings persist in Sofia, as does corruption among prosecutors and judges. Despite efforts to clean up the prosecution service, not a single suspect in a contract killing has been convicted. Worse, the government has stopped trying. It is months since the commission against corruption set up by Mr Stanishev held a meeting. Rumen Ovcharov, who resigned as energy minister two months ago amid corruption allegations, still wields influence behind the scenes, say EU officials.
Mr Parvanov is now found to have had links with the communist-era security service. Bulgaria has opened its files to scrutiny — years after other east Europeans. Mr Parvanov claims not to have known that the man who asked him to edit a book about relations with Macedonia was a spy. A crucial 36 pages are missing from his file. The president's approval rating has plummeted.
Local elections in October will give the voters a chance to protest. Polls suggest that Gerb, a new right-wing party led by Boiko Borisov, the mayor of Sofia, may do well. The Socialists have been discomfited by the shooting on July 11th of Manol Velev, a businessman. Mr Velev, who is in a coma, is married to the sports minister and paid for Mr Parvanov's re-election campaign last year. Voters fret that the politicians' inertia may be letting criminals take over.

Concierge.com's insider take:
After a 2010 renovation, this old-timer isn't a rock-bottom hotel anymore. But don't worry, it hasn't gone all froufrou either. The 16 simple white rooms with bright orange and pink accent walls serving as headboards now have AC at night, 24/7 electricity, even Wi-Fi (most times), and hammocks on front terraces. Beachfront cabanas are delightful until the wind blows sand under the shuttered doors—there's a reason the on-site kiteboarding school is popular. Second-story rooms in the back row catch cooling breezes and are more private. Ziggy Beach, a longtime local hangout, has been upgraded, too, and now has comfy chairs, hammocks, and beach beds on the sand and a menu of yummy ceviches from the Bistro restaurant.—Maribeth Mellin

"World of Warcraft: Cataclysm" as best MMO? What did they buy your entire staff off? BEST MMO???
I would not tell that lie for any amout of advertizing dollars!
G4 = SELL OUT for the $$$
SAD this is!Posted: January 5, 2011 4:12 PM -
Why all these substandard console games? Real Gamers play PC games.
ME2 was the first good choice the XPlay staff has made since advertisers owned the network...
At least its better than Cops or Cheaters reruns...Posted: January 5, 2011 4:02 PM -
One more thing how did heavy rain not win either. That game was the most original game i have ever played and with the move even better.
Posted: December 30, 2010 10:28 AM -
How did God of War loose. Mass Effect as game of the year, that is the dumbest game ever I know nobody who likes that game. Game of the year should have been Assassins Creed Brotherhood. Why wasn't the move nominated for anything when it is better than the Kinect any day. The Kinect lags way too much and is not accurate at all unlike the move witch is clear and precise. The move does everything the Kinect does except voice commands. I have both and the Kinect does nothing but collect dust because the move has way better graphics and gameplay than Kinect. If you like the cheesy graphics of the wii then get the Kinect.
Posted: December 30, 2010 10:23 AM -
SC2 should of got it and it didnt because noone cares for PC gaming any more on G4! ):
Posted: December 29, 2010 12:10 PM -
Glad to see Limbo get the accolades it deserves. It is definitely a quality game that sticks in your mind long after you finish the game.

Kinect beat out Minecraft for best innovation? Didn't the eye toy do the same thing several years ago? (this coming from 360 fanboy)

and the Bad Company haters continue. The game that better than both MW2 and BO still gets no love? Where's FIFA 11 in all this too. Damn these dick riders
Posted: December 21, 2010 5:58 PM -
I am so tired of you dumbass picking retard games as winners for different categories. First of all for best handheld, Why wasn't god or war ghost of sparta or kingdom hearts birth by sleep one of the nominees. Second, your going to say that Red Dead Redemption should win BEST ACTION/ADVENTURE GAME over God of War 3. I believe that you idiots value Xbox 360 games on a different level to that of the Playstation 3 and Wii. I hope your show gets cancelled in the near future. I don't know why you are still on tv if every game that other videogame websites or shows give perfect scores, for good reason, and you take them and give them low scores. GO TO HELL
Posted: December 21, 2010 12:05 PM -
Battlefield and Assassins creed should have been on the list wtf?
Posted: December 21, 2010 11:45 AM -
I agree that ME 2 was one of the best games I've ever played and deserved a spot on the list but GOTY? IDK. There were so many kick ass games to come out this year like GoW 3, Fallout New Vegas, CoD Black Ops, and so many others it would be very difficult to create a list that woundn't piss off half of the gamers out here. We all have diferent tastes in games and everybody is not going to agree with any list.
Posted: December 20, 2010 2:15 PM -
im so sick of seeing cod winning crap, they shouldnt get anything at all..im sorry to say but i think battlefield bad company should have get best shooter this year..

Assassins creed gets crap from x-play...
IT'S A TEMPLAR CONSPIRACY!!!Posted: December 19, 2010 1:53 PM -
I could care less if it won, but that fact that Super Mario Galaxy got NO nominations is ridiculous. It should of gotten a few plus GOTY. Seriously, it is one of if not the best Wii game ever and it doesn't even get a nomination.
Posted: December 19, 2010 1:06 PM -
I really think fallout new vegas should have won an award.
Posted: December 18, 2010 10:06 PM -
WHAT!?! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TWO BIGGEST GAME LAUNCHES OF THE YEAR!?! BOTH GAMES HEADLINED E3 AND THEY WEREN'T EVEN NOMINATED!?! DO THE NAMES HALO: REACH OR CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU!?! WOW HOW DISAPPOINTING. I'm not mad they didn't win, I'm mad they weren't even mentioned

Music similar to...
Hey, any suggestions for music similar to Houkago Tea Time from K-On!!, or Girls Dead Monster from Angel Beats!? I also really like Aki Toyosaki's solo albums, and I like that ending song from Bakuman called "Genjitsu to Iu Na no Kaibutsu to Tatakau Monotachi" well that's just a bit of my taste, sweet right?

Music I have for certain series/artists might interest you. While they're not guaranteed to be "in your face" similar, there are elements that can be linked to the groups you listed. So I'll just link you a bunch of stuff you might like and leave out anything that's far off, plus some extras you might like. Sorry for short versions and quality for some. For each series, I'll only post up to five songs, but if you like them I highly recommend checking the rest of its soundtrack out; I'm intentionally leaving a lot out.
Spoiler for Music Explosion:
Hopefully that's enough to keep you busy.

Pink Shirt Guy
This submission is currently being researched & evaluated!
You can help confirm this entry by contributing facts, media, and other evidence of notability and mutation.
Pink Shirt Guy is the nickname given to a man wearing a pink polo shirt and khaki shorts as seen in a photograph of what appears to be a bio-hazardous quarantine site. Since entering online circulation through various discussion forums and message boards, the image has remained an enduring mystery due to its inexplicable nature.
The image is said to have entered online circulation through various forum discussions in the mid-2000s, with its earliest known appearance in a Democratic Underground forum[3] thread posted on November 28th, 2006. The photograph drew much curiosity from the viewers due to his casual attire and nonchalant body language in contrast to four other individuals that are fully dressed in HAZMAT suits and oxygen tanks.
The image began to gain notoriety in 2007 after a single serving site featuring the photograph was launched at PinkShirtGuy.com[4] on April 12th, 2007. According to the site domain's registrar history, it was registered by Canadian online marketing firm CarsonBiz Web Services. Months later on September 9th, YTMND user partypenguin uploaded a GIF slideshow[12] of the Pink Shirt Guy photoshopped into various photographs.
Later that same month on September 23rd, a single topic blog dedicated to curating pictures of Pink Shirt Guy cutout placed in real life settings was launched at HidePinkShirtGuy.com.[1] On October 5th, a link to the website was submitted to Digg.[11] A few days later on October 10th, an Urban Dictionary[5] definition of "Pink Shirt Guy" was submitted, although it provides little information about its history.

First MPJ Arthrodesis: What The Evidence Reveals
Another common technique for arthrodesis site preparation is the utilization of power conical reamers to produce a cup to cone apposition or a ball and socket. By maintaining the contoured convex metatarsal head and concave proximal phalanx, surface contact areas for fusion increase. This allows for tri-planar "dialed in" positioning of the hallux to the metatarsal head. The optimum position is 15 to 20 degrees of dorsiflexion and 10 to 20 degrees of abduction.33 Intraoperatively, the hallux should lay parallel to the second toe with the foot fully loaded on the rigid flat surface (a basin) to simulate weightbearing and the ankle joint at 90 degrees. The hallux should also contact the surface.
Various authors have described numerous methods of internal fixation, including Kirschner wires, intramedullary Steinmann pins, staples and screws.1 The use of modern osteosynthesis constructs has decreased the non-union rate and allowed early weightbearing and a more rapid recovery.
Fusion success rates have been as great as 92 percent to 100 percent.3 Roukis and colleagues looked at three main configurations: compression screws, dorsal plate and screws, and staples.34 The authors found the overall incidence of non-union using one of these modern techniques was 5.4 percent. In another study by Dening and colleagues, a retrospective analysis of plate versus screw fixation showed MPJ fusion with single oblique lag screw fixation at 71 percent, crossing lag screws at 90 percent, a low contoured dorsal plate at 100 percent, and a dorsal plate with a plantar screw at 93 percent.35 The study authors allowed early weightbearing in all cases.
The most frequent form of osteosynthesis is low-contoured dorsal plating with or without a lag screw. Without the use of a lag screw, performing eccentric drilling of the screw hole most proximal to the joint on the metatarsal side can accomplish compression. Surgeons most often use traditional non-locking plates unless there is osteopenia. In cases of osteopenia, one can use a locking plate. If you are not using a lag screw or it is not appropriate to do so because of bone consistency, position a non-locking eccentric screw within the plate before inserting the locking screws. In cases of significant osteopenia, the surgeon can omit a compression screw. Contact of the joint surfaces with plate stabilization provides adequate fixation.
Key Considerations For Interphalangeal Joint Arthritis
Propulsive activity after first MPJ arthrodesis depends on proper positioning of the hallux in the sagittal plane and mobility of the interphalangeal joint to obtain assisted dorsiflexion in propulsion. In the presence of interphalangeal arthritis, one may avoid arthrodesis and consider implant arthroplasty.
Other options exist. One consideration is positioning the hallux in the transverse plane in 20 degrees abduction or more.33 Surgeons can also consider arthrodesis of the interphalangeal joint but this will require bone resection at the MPJ arthrodesis site to shorten the first ray, which could increase the risk of metatarsalgia.9
Could First MPJ Arthrodesis Have An Impact For Other Joint Disorders?
First MPJ arthrodesis is reportedly effective in treating many joint disorders and may also be useful in cases of revision and salvage. These conditions include joint destructive rheumatologic disorders, neuromuscular-associated hallux abducto valgus deformities, hallux abducto valgus deformity associated with osteoarthritis or severe hallux abducto valgus deformities.31,33 Other conditions are loss of both sesamoids, failed implant arthroplasty, failed hallux abducto valgus surgery, hallux varus or failed Keller arthroplasty. Finally, additional conditions include avascular necrosis, osteopenia and osteomyelitis in which significant bone loss and consistency become factors.

Green Grass Glass Tea Carafe
Elegant tea carafe
I've been enjoying this gorgeous tea carafe for a few months now. This is a tea carafe meant for use with loose leaf tea although you could use it with a tea bag and chuck the strainer. I have used it with teas from teavana and my go-to tea Twinings English Breakfast loose leaf that you can find in a tin at Cost Plus. It works great if used correctly. I believe the loose leaf tea should be added to the bottom of the carafe and then the hot tea is added and the strainer attached. This way the tea can bloom without being constrained and when you drink it, the strainer keeps the leaves (that have now plumped up) from leaving the carafe. I've also done it with tea first, then strainer, then hot water but sometimes the strainer prohibits the water from pouring nicely down into the carafe. If you're going to add sugar you can add that when you add your tea. The bottle is gorgeous, the 10 oz size is perfect for tea, and the double wall makes it possible to hold it without burning your hands.
May 2, 2012
I love this thing!
I use this tea carafe first thing in the morning and sometimes all day! It makes a great cup of tea by steeping the tea 3 minutes in the metal basket and that's it! I drink straight out of the carafe, put the lid back on and it keeps it warm. Comes out of the dishwasher perfectly clean.
March 29, 2012
beautiful but the basket is too shallow
love the design but trying to brew tea in it is an exercise in futility. you can only fit a tiny bit of looseleaf in it, and then when you try to get it out it is impossible to remove without spilling the leaves all back into the glass. and forget about trying roobios... it just goes straight through the big ole holes.
because i love the way it looks i have been looking for another one elsewhere similar to this design but they all have the shallow baskets. do tea drinkers not actually use the mugs they create? i don't get it at all.

The laser light technology demonstration will also include the display of HFR (High Frame Rate) content. All new XPAND 3D cinema solutions are HFR compatible.
Moderating the technical demonstration will be Todd Hoddick, Vice President, Entertainment Division, North America for Barco.
The event will also include a panel discussion moderated by Jerry Pierce, Chairman of Inter-Society's Digital Cinema Forum. Panel members include:
* Wim Buyens: Senior Vice President, Entertainment Division, Barco
* John McDonald: Chairman, NATO Technology Committee and Executive Vice President, US Operations, AMC Theatres
* Pete Lude: Senior VP, Solutions Engineering, Sony Digital Cinema Solutions
* Michael Esch: Senior Director-Entertainment Solutions, Christie
* Jim Reisteter: General Manager, Digital Cinema Division, NEC Display Solutions of America
"Laser projection represents the future of cinema projection and the demonstration at CinemaCon will show exhibitors the best 3D ever seen," said Maria Costeira, CEO of XPAND 3D. "We are thrilled to support Barco for this event, as we are confident it will represent a watershed moment in the evolution of 3D technology!"
"When CinemaCon asked us to project our prototype laser on a giant screen in the Colosseum, we were honored to show High Frame Rates, 3D, 4K and other capabilities at CinemaCon 2012," commented Todd Hoddick, VP Entertainment for Barco North America. "Currently, our prototype can achieve 55,000 lumens of despeckled laser light from a single projector. While the industry still has a ways to go before government regulations and pricing make laser commercially viable, Barco will be ready when the time comes."

Foo Fighters, 'Wasting Light' (Roswell/RCA)
- SPIN Rating:9 of 10
Label: Roswell/ RCA
First Dave Grohl learned to fly. Then, in "Times Like These," he learned to love and live again. Grohl's latest lesson? "Learning to walk again," as he puts it near the end of the seventh Foo Fighters album. That back-to-basics aspiration is no coincidence: After scaling the uppermost heights of modern-rock stardom -- Grammy Awards, stadium shows, occasionally drumming for Paul McCartney, and a side project with a dude from Led Freaking Zeppelin -- Grohl built a recording studio in his San Fernando Valley garage last year and hired Nevermind producer Butch Vig to oversee Wasting Light, which includes a guest appearance by Nirvana's Krist Novoselic and heralds Pat Smear's full-fledged return to the Foo fold. The thing should come wrapped in flannel.
Yet Wasting Light is much more than a salad-days nostalgia trip -- it's Grohl's most memorable set of songs since 1997's The Colour and the Shape. Three-guitar riff bombs, like "Bridge Is Burning" and "White Limo," brandish real heavy-metal muscle, while the insanely catchy "Back and Forth" summons some of Nevermind's poisoned-pop frenzy. In "I Should Have Known," with Novoselic on bass, Grohl even snatches back the bluesy power ballad from Kings of Leon. But nowhere does this seen-it-all survivor seem more engaged than he does in "Walk," where over a typically surging arena-emo groove he convincingly describes his determination to "keep alive a moment at a time." Sounds simple, feels anything but.

The Brazilian ratings board has seemingly outed a high-definition remake of the original Far Cry.
The ratings body's official website lists Far Cry HD for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, though doesn't reveal any additional details.
Far Cry was developed by Crytek and originally released on the PC in March 2004. The game sees Jack Carver, a former U.S. Army Special Forces operative, stranded on a mysterious archipelago in search of a missing female journalist he was previously escorting.
The latest instalment in the franchise, Far Cry 3, has shipped six million copies to date and spawned the downloadable, standalone 80s-inspired shooter, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.

FlamesThere are flames wherehis head should be -forty pieces of silvera dressing gown, a pipea poem left in the fireplace.This man promised you a winterso warm and bountifulspring would be ashamed.He called you by name -not the one that father knewshoved under his bibleBut the one left behindin the branches,in the bucket of brambles,and the columbinesburied at your feet.Stone angels on the battlefieldsurrender in the grass.What did his faceeven look like behind the curtain,counting those coinsand loosening the damp earthfrom your shoes?
KitesI watch your kite disappearing -slowly slipping through your fingerslike a defiant act of love.The laurel wreaths I crowned you with -sweet Adonis to a maid,shivering on your cool, wet skin.I said that I could set you freebut you never would believe me.
WinterA dream of silver coins and gossamerof frankincense and sacred myrrhtugging, gently tugging at the coverletthe draperies drawn,the candles lit.Winter's wizened face and beard sent packingby the blazing willow loga'crackling, gently crackling in the fireplacethe shivered windleads on apaceThese dreams to warm us lingering like a balm,and cider mulled with cardamombubbling, gently bubbling in a bowlblots out the windand shuns the cold.
CheatsThe light makes cheatsof us both,so we change clothesin the greedy darkwithout lookingor thinking twice.We do not touch,our skin afraid to loseor breathe too close.We pass in the streetbut do not acknowledgeeach otherin buildings'reflections,in the glare of taxi cabsor the stiff pull of elevators.We do not rub elbowsor let our shoulder bladespress together.But I would know youanywhere - any placethe sun is uneasyand the skin of uswears thinor strangers are toldto breathein another direction.
RedThere is nothing discreet about this love -it hangs on my chest,a defiant noise -the scent of something lusciousand viscousstretched between your hips.Your back archesin a way only Psyche can feel.You wear itin a cheap red dressthat comes apart like midsummerin my handsas we flaunt the stars,the stones under our skinstretching the bed frametill we crack.And I fill you up,your arms a battleraging in the waning liesof morning.
CometYou told me to be a comet -to grow new wingsand sit out on the roofand watch the men gatherlike seals upon the rocks,their voices threadbarewarping the wooden pilingsunderneath their feet.You said I was a magnet -north facing and truant,missing my arms and legs;while out in the streetthe rain made the dogs go madand all the poets were starvingand swallowing their fathers.You promised you wouldtake me back with you,your charity in my pocketsand let me wash myself cleanin your lily pale whys-my belly slit like a barbarian,warm and inviting you in -Both of us rememberingto lock up heaven's gateand leave no tracesof our bleedingor any silent soundsour mothers could identifyand send to call us home.
MinotaurHer minotaur bows lowand dreamsof a deft approachsome way inwithout thornssome tiny giftof need,or perhapsan offering of rainleft killing on the grass.She senses him,the bristle of jawjarring the forest,and the long white of her armsteaching himthe value of fear.But his eyesgo blank at her glance,the snare of heata braceletat her wrist,and his warm flanktelling her new mythsare for bleeding.
HungryI arrive hungry -pinklike last night's wine,my mouth full of you.Dinner is a dying art you say,tucking a napkinover my lap.First course -mezze -something you feed mewith your handspoised in flight.Main course -I wear a blindfold;you have a spoonbetween your lips,daring me to bite.Dessert -nectarcollected in a cup.I can tastethe morsel of your skinjust a teaseyou leaveupon my tongue
ShameHere's the bloody stain,burden of my shame.I breathe.Let me bear the strain,savior of my name.You leave.We have born the pain -righteous, strong and plain,we grieve.There is naught to gainin blessing or in bane.We seethe.I have known the blame,felt my senses fein.Believebleeding in the rain,praying oer the slain,I cleaveAnd know that I've laintwixt madness and sane.
Catcat -nappingon the chair -black crescent moon.i like how your fur glistens in the light.in your dreams you are chasing beasts again.mighty hunter,catching andeatingmice.
AloneI sit alone and mark the time -aware of how the hours crawl -with solitude a friend of mine.I find my thoughts a careless scrawl,meandering among the days -myself the loser in it all.I view my world through lonely haze,aware of loss on which I standand never think to mend my ways.There's not a soul to lend a hand;there's not a man to call me friend.
Why Poets DrinkChrist,there is a reason poets drink.Abstention feels bad -infertile and stuffed, swollen.It does not sell booksor win those brassangels on ribbons.Tonight my lover is bourbon,distilled in some soulsouth of Carolina.It plays tricks with colorsand the sounds on my tongue.It grows words wherenone have loitered for weeksand handfasts me tothe rest of the world.It is ransom -a jest of seasonsand my bone idle brainawakes.
LarksHow soft the lark sings,harbinger of spring,he flies.Cold winds try to cling,suffocate his wingswith sighs.Early April bringswarmer murmurings.Winter, still it stings -through the trees, the ringstell liesin smokey mornings.And in day's dawninghe cries -harbinger of spring,how soft the lark sings.
SubwayThe chug-a-lug churning of trestle trains -sulfur spewing in darkness and dusky domainswheels whipping wildly - sonorous sounds,hurtling haphazardly and grazing the ground.While cars carelessly trace the track,passengers patiently bracing their backsand daydreaming about destinations.
Snow WhiteSeven more mouths to feed(For this you leftyour father's house?),shoes piled by the doorand grimy rucksacksfull of coal.(He promised you a diamond)They keep you on your toeswith their uncombed hairand their untrimmed beardsand appetites like young bulls.That dress of yourshas seen better daysand your handsare worn out -bloodied starlings in your pockets.So you cook and cleanand sewand wait by the windoweach morning for them to leave,polishing your applesand dream of what the huntsmanis hiding in his box.
MoonlessThe moonless eveningturns its back against the skyand leaves it empty.Perhaps the morningwill come back with its hands full,holding up the sun.
RosesThey say the last roseof summeris low born -a slow moving blossomthat bears a crooked stem.Pluck it carefully,tender colorto raise the dull duskof your dress;flush it pale and perfectalong your thighs.You move through the treeslike pelerines at the fair,carrying it in your handthe adieu of petalsalready inscribed -never thinkingto score the thornsor to leave it behindfor the onewho called you sweetheart.
CinderellaWaiting for a coachand fourthat never came,she realizeda ball gownwon't bloomout of sackloth;glass slippersare not dependableand miceare best leftto their own devices.Midnight was never a friend,and under that suithe is the same as any otherman.
ReddistBefore you, there were womenwith full breasts,breasts with perk tips and beneath them:hips wide as my hand spread,but never love.Athenas before you,my eyes only followed the apples;and then, suddenly: A wild brook unleashedand I never knew I was a basinmeant to be filled. A woman sewnfrom the smile of Coyote,from the same hands that bent timeand created life for a laugh- Apples becamethe sweetest fruit; be my reddist-I will love you madderthan a hatter and brasher than a miner.Wilder for a gypsy.
Three in Five MinutesDream one was a bright white flashand sounds of things breakingI opened my eyes and saw it all.Now I think that it was me.Dream two was my child yelling"Where are you? Where are you?"I opened my ears and heard it all.Now I think that it was me.Dream three was a sudden knocking on the door in deepest dark.I opened the door and saw nothing.Now I think that it was me.

Queen Elizabeth II Visits Woolwich
London – May 31st, 2013
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II paid a visit to the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery at Woolwich Barracks in London on Friday May 31st. The 87 year old British monarch was dressed in mint green and was presented with a posy upon her arrival at the barracks.
Her Majesty later reviewed a Gun Team display at the riding school within Woolwich Barracks. The Queen also presented Afghanistan operational medals to two members of the troop who have recently returned from a tour of Afghanistan.
The visit was seen as poignant to many given the brutal murder of British soldier, Drummer Lee Rigby, last week in Woolwich, who was based at the barracks. The visit by the Queen had been organised long before the attack on the soldier.

BOSTON – Tuesday, September 25, 2012 – State agricultural officials today announced that their MassGrown & Fresher initiative was the recipient of a "Bright Ideas" award from the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. The Center recognized 111 innovative government initiatives as Bright Ideas. This year's cohort hails from all levels of government — including school districts, county, city, state, and federal agencies as well as public-private partnerships — and demonstrates a creative range of solutions to issues such as urban and rural degradation, environmental problems, access to locally grown agricultural products, and the academic achievement of students. Programs were evaluated and selected by a team of policy experts from academic and public sectors.
"This is the second award within two years in which the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs was recognized for its use of social media tools and technology to improve communications with its constituency," said Secretary Rick Sullivan. "In 2011 we received an Award of Excellence in the social media category from the National Association of Government Communicators and this latest award is further tribute to our enhancing the use of technology."
The Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (DAR) began to look at ways to support soaring interest in locally grown and produced products amid one of the worst recessions in memory with the consequence that the department's mission and budgetary ability to promote the broad diversity of its agricultural community was curtailed.
"Thanks to a supportive Patrick-Murray Administration, our continued efforts to expand connections between consumers and our local farmers are 'bearing fruit'" said DAR Commissioner Greg Watson. "This award is the culmination of ongoing hard work by talented staff to find an effective, cost-efficient way to promote greater access to fresh, local food products."
With the help of a USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant, MDAR staff partnered with commodity groups to bootstrap an "out-of-the-box" initiative to connect consumers to local agriculture and vice versa.
"Government innovation does not require endless resources and generous budgets," said Stephen Goldsmith, director of the Innovations in Government Program at the Ash Center. "As exemplified by this year's Bright Ideas, some of our country's smartest innovations can in fact reduce government's size while serving our citizens more efficiently and effectively."
Launched in April 2010, the core foundation of the initiative was a new MassGrown & Fresher website (www.mass.gov/massgrown) featuring an "Agri-Google" map that draws from DAR's extensive databases. The interactive map serves as a gateway to finding farm products, specialty foods, and agricultural activities. Other highlights include fun facts, upcoming events, a spotlight section, and the Faces of Massachusetts Agriculture page that recognizes individuals, organizations, and schools that are making a significant contribution to the long-term sustainability of agriculture.
Phase two of the project was and continues to be an assertive PR rollout plan that further harnesses internet technology. DAR laid design plans in February 2011 to incorporate a "QR Code" in all its future promotional materials and was the first state department of agriculture in the country to do so. The QR Code's debut appearance was on the Department's agricultural fairs brochure released in May in 2011 and was later integrated into ad campaigns on the MBTA's subway system and recently on the MBTA commuter rail.
One of the key drivers of the Patrick-Murray Administration has been to work towards identifying government efficiencies and seamless transferability of programs and services across the Commonwealth. When implementing new initiatives, agencies are asked to look through the lens of transferability to the possible benefit of entire secretariats. As it relates to MassGrown & Fresher, lends itself to replication by other agencies specific to their constituents' needs.
Applications are accepted year round for consideration as a Bright Idea; programs must currently be in operation or in the process of launching and have sufficient operational resources. In addition, programs must be administered by one or more governmental entities; nonprofit, private sector, and union initiatives are eligible if operating in partnership with a governmental organization. Bright Ideas are showcased on the Ash Center's Government Innovators Network, an online platform for practitioners and policymakers to share innovative public policy solutions.

DAR's mission is to ensure the long-term viability of agriculture in Massachusetts. Through its four divisions - Agricultural Conservation & Technical Assistance, Agricultural Markets, Animal Health, and Crop and Pest Services - DAR strives to support, regulate and enhance the rich diversity of the Commonwealth's agricultural community to promote economically and environmentally sound food safety and animal health measures, and fulfill agriculture's role in energy conservation and production.
