on heartache.
I remember walking around the Met as things with the-last-man-I-really-cared-about were unraveling. Surrounded my such immense history and such immeasurable beauty and there was but one thought:
There is a great, gaping hole in the middle of my chest.
Someone asked me about heartbreak recently--about how to get over it? And it's not the first time someone has asked this question so I started thinking about it and found I couldn't stop. I thought about it on the subway and in the shower and at work. And I thought about it as I listened to Elliot Smith.
I'm damaged bad at best.
Five words in a song. Five small and true words.
I am in a debt to Elliot Smith for those five words and that perfect truth.
I'm damaged bad at best.
I think about those words now as I meet men for the first time. First dates in which we sit at a bar and sip wine and I wonder just how quickly they will see my sadness.
I wear it differently now than I did at eighteen or twenty-five or any of the years between. I'm more comfortable with it--more at ease with the notion that it's an accumulation of all the lives before this one. It is my history and my inheritance. It is the truest part of who I am. And the most terrifying--I imagine to others looking in, it is the most terrifying.
But only from the outside. Only when not understood. Because for me it is a sadness that simply is--that is so telling of what it is to be human and alive in this world.
But sometimes it is more immediate, closer to the surface.
And I'm okay with that. It's an altogether not-so-bad feeling, sadness.
I'm far less comfortable with the sense that every time I turn around I'm face-planting into a brick wall--that's a sensation far less bearable. And I keep wondering when this phase of my life in which I go out with girlfriends and end up crying as I attempt to explain that just-as-soon-as-I-think-I've-turned-a-corner-I'm-face-first-in-brick will end.
I'll take the sadness. It's the frustration and sense of failure and the nagging notion that I'll never be enough that I find altogether less than pleasurable--the math of too much somehow adding up to not enough. Too emotional, too honest, too demanding, too picky, too much of too many things. Altogether, not enough. Somehow, still, not enough
My mother said something recently that I can't stop thinking about. With great love she said, You're afraid that everyone will figure out you're a fraud. You're afraid that everyone who comes here to read these words--all the kind people with kind things to say, will somehow figure out that you are not worthy of what they say. And that's on you.
When what I'm really afraid of is that I am something that can only be loved in the dark--hidden and away. That to love me would be a shameful thing.
And what a terrible truth to hold.
That is part the-story-I-tell-myself-now and part the-story-told-to-me-by-every-man-I've-ever-cared-for. And it is the inheritance of the-next-man-who-undoes-me. That's the worst of it--that it is someone else's inheritance.
I'm damaged bad at best.
Just the other night there was a guy and he wasn't terribly kind and he delivered dig after dig and after a few minutes I realized he was flirting. Low on patience I turned to him and let him have it. And he, through slurred words born of early morning hours and too much booze and quite a bit of hurt said, I've been burned pretty bad--I've been hurt so badly by women. As though that was both explanation and reparation. And I looked right at him and said, You think you're the only person who's ever been hurt? You think you're standing here talking to a woman who hasn't felt that same sort of pain? I wasn't really insulted until just now, until this moment. So please, go ahead, let me have it, tell me your story because I can match you pace for pace on this one. I can match you with the half-lies and small cruelties and broken promises of all the men before you. I can match you with each and every man who's shown me just how easily that wedding band slips off.
We're damaged bad at best.
I've never once said anything honest and true to a man I've cared for. I lost years of my life to loving a man and the closest I got to telling him was with seven words: I think you're a pretty fine guy. Seven words when I only needed three. And a bit of courage.
But I am not a courageous person. And I'm damaged bad at best.
And I get to a point on those first dates when I think please don't let this man tell me I'm beautiful. Please don't let him reach for my knee. Please, please don't let his hand touch my hand because palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss--and hell, it really is my favorite part. Because should those things happen I'll begin to worry that he'll stumble upon that one thing that makes me unlovable. That one thing that I can't name and can't see and can't place, but I'm sure is there.
But there is a truth greater than the one I now comprehend.
There will be a person that will see the sadness right away and will know it's not so bad. There will be a person who will touch my knee and my hand, who will trace the outline of my curves and connect-the-dots of my moles and he will come up for air and say, I can't find it. That thing you're convinced that'll make me run--I can't find it.
I am worthy of love. As is the boy who flirted so unkindly and fears he is not. We are all damaged bad at best. And we are all still worthy.
I don't know how we get over heartache, only that we do.
And the best and worst and truest and saddest thing that no one ever really talks about--there's always someone else. There will always be someone else--even if the best love we've ever known somehow, in some way--inexplicably falls apart.
The heart goes in search of love. Always it does. Even--and most especially--when we don't want it to. The heart never breaks--we call it heartache and heartbreak, but it is not the heart that is damaged. It is always new and unscarred and perfect and we wrap it in memories that are broken and fragmented and cutting and we confuse that with a damaged center from which to love.
And the war is a silent one. Fought on the home front. Between a heart that propels us forward and a body that doesn't think it'll survive another hurt.
There is no roadmap. Of when to fight. And when not to. Of when to look like a fool for love. And when you just look like a fool. No clear marker of the moment a love begins. Or when it doesn't.
I don't know how to get over heartache other than to really feel it--and let it run its course. We don't get to hurry it along.
And I certainly don't think it gets easier--only harder. Each one worse than that before. Which is one of life's small cruelties. The movement of each man from a maybe to a no has taken something from me. Has cut a path wide and deep through my core. Has added something to that wellspring of sadness.
But getting over it. Or not. Well, that's not the point. Continuing on, that is the point. Investing in one's worth. Believing in the face of overwhelming doubt. Radical hope--that is the point. Because that is what it is to be human. Because the heart is the human story and that. is. the. point.
this life, already wasted and still strewn with miracles. Small words that I read on one of the subway banners not too long ago--part of a poem by Mary Ruefle. Small and perfect words that emptied my body of all its air.
Already wasted and still strewn with miracles. Damaged bad at best and still worthy of love.
Better for the damage and the waste and all that damn sadness.
We love because we are human and it's the closest we get to divinity. And heartache or heartbreak or whatever you want to call it is part of that story. So we get over it by getting out of the way. And letting life happen. And acting courageously even when it's not in our nature.
That's what I got. That's all I got.

This time last year, the boy I loved broke up with me. And it was horrendous--deeply, deeply horrendous. At some point over the course of the summer, he realised his mistake and he asked for a miracle; a miracle of my trust and my love and to see him how I knew him best. Foolish as I may be, I did, and we started back up again--ran with it, really, tried and persevered. We were more mature, now, in ways I hadn't quite seen as flaws before. Over Christmas, I noticed him slipping from me: his depression - his sadness - raised its fierce and volatile head, consuming him. And do you know what I thought? I thought: I can deal with this, I can understand. I may not be sure or certain of many of my capabilities or many of my merits, but I knew I could deal with this. About three weeks' ago, though, that love decided I couldn't--didn't want me to--found it easier to be alone, and my heart feels foolish and silly and annoyed at granting that miracle. It does not get easier--you are right. I only find them some people are a lot less forgiving second time around. How to get over heartache, eh? I don't think you do--and in fact, I think that scares me most: that I will hoard and protect this love of mine, that nobody will breach or surpass it. Today, that love of mine went away--travelling around Europe to find himself--and I have thought hard all day about getting over it; about when the light will come. Thank-you, Meg, for this, and especially so for it today. (I am sorry this is such a mess of a self-indulgent comment).

This may be the most beautiful post I have ever read. I think, somehow, you've helped me understand so much about my own history with love. You sound like such an incredible woman, you're such an inspiration.

I have felt these words, Meg, felt every one, lived it. (Right down to Shakespeare and Elliot Smith.) There is so much truth in what you've so beautifully written. I can't tell you what changes, but something does. Something clicks and you are finally allowed to relax into another person, love and be loved. It isn't a fairy tale and it doesn't end there, because you still carry around your damage, trust me. But you are finally allowed to push it aside a bit and live in a more peaceful, settled space in your mind. You can be vulnerable again, and think less about the pain you've felt, but be better because you have felt it. It does happen. It will happen.

Shit, Meg.
This post is timed perfectly with the rawness of recent heartbreak in my own life, a blow that left my heart feeling no longer bruised, but bleeding. It's moments like that, when the knife of heartbreak isn't just in place but twisted in deeper then you remember it ever being before, that you (or at I) feel most alone.
& then I come here and read this.
Thank you for reminding me that this painful ache doesn't make me crazy or self-absorbed, but human and beautifully flawed.

this is such a beautiful post. you really have the most amazing way with words...
we're all a little "damaged bad at best" i think. and you're right... there is always someone else. someone who will help us feel whole again and that we are worthy of love.
i hope you decide to keep this up. i think it will be comforting for so many...

You are exceptional. I've been reading your blog silently for the past few months and your words always seem to dive right into the center of what I'm feeling. I cried reading this post, not because it was sad-although addressing heartache always is-but more because it was beautiful. Thank you for being vulnerable and in doing so, inspiring vulnerability in all of us.

"The movement of each man from a maybe to a no has taken something from me. Has cut a path wide and deep through my core. Has added something to that wellspring of sadness."
That happened to me last night. It happened with small words that screamed volumes and emptied me, but there's something healing for me in reading this today.
As always, thanks.

I already finish reading your words just wishing I could hug you tight. Your words always seem to reflect the truest pieces of my heart, and its absolutely incredible.
Ad you are so worthy of all the kind things the kind people say on here, because you put your beautifully flawed humanity out there for us all to see, and its just remarkable. I always feel honored to see glimpses of your heart.

I just got over a heartache not too long ago. During my time studying in England I was healing, and the sadness that you carry around with you because of past hurts- I too carry my own baggage. But I must say, what has helped me is not to claim ownership over it. Because the sadness, though painfully beautiful at times- exposing your own humanity- as i'm sure you know, its weight gets so heavy at times...
Here's a post I wrote while trying to 'let go' of this most previous cloud. I hope it encourages you. You deserve to carry joy with you so much that it overwhelms the sadness.
Happy thoughts!

This post really hit close to home with me. I think we all sometimes look at ourselves and think how damaged we are, and most of us never tell anyone because "they can't possibly feel the same way. I'll scare them away."
But it's not just us - it's not just you or just me - it is, at some point, everyone. And I think that's important to know to help not make the pain worse, if not make it better.

I saw on your Instagram that you said you weren't sure about this post, and that it would probably be taken down by the day's end. I'm so glad it's still here. I check your blog almost every day and I read it especially when I need comfort and compassion. Thank you for sharing what so many people (i.e., ME) do not know how to. It is so nice to feel like I am not alone.

exactly what Brittan said...
9 years ago today (it's valentines day here in australia) i was getting married, 18 months ago he told me that he was seing someone else.... and it wasn't the only "someone else" over the years. i was broken and never wanted to be in another relationship ever again, never imagined i would be, i mean, who would want this (me)?
today i recieved the most beautiful box of long stem roses from the person who did "want this". the man who saw my sadness and decided that it was not bad... i don't know if he's "forever", but i sure do like the process of finding out....

wow, simply amazing. have you ever read brene brown? she's a researcher/counselor who works at University of Houston and who studies vulnerability and shame. She has a couple of compelling TED Talks if you google her. Her work and insights are all really powerful--she tends to not be a typical "self-help" generalist. I'm actually reading her book Daring Greatly now, and it's really amazing to think about the things you write about in relation to the importance of vulnerability and our hard-wired need for connection. if you read her or check her out, i'm sure you'd have some of your own strike us all right through the heart insights.

Every one before the one now, I wasn't able to forget myself, forget those hidden flaws you think everyone will see. It's the one(s) that are so colossal that you can't think of yourself, can't worry because you are too busy being in awe, drinking up every bit of them, looking for their flaws only to come up for air confessing that you can't find it. I think that's the difference. And the difference is that you, unlike the unkind flirter, see that it goes both ways. That we are all hiding something we don't want seen, wishing that it will be seen but not seen as anything to be hidden.

This is a really wonderful post. And not to take away from anything you have ever felt, everything we have been through is our own experience and we feed off of that as we chose, the older we get the less focus we have on what went before and the more we look forward to what is next.
May I suggest you listen out for the massive attack song - Protection.
This girl I know needs some shelter she don't believe anyone can help her
These words have remined with me for years - When my heart was broken, when it was ignoring where it needed to be and when it refused to let go of something that wasn't ever really worth holding on to and to now where my heart is just fine and I am not defined by any relationship-I am just me.
It is also worth listening to Ray Lamontagne Empty 'I never learned to count my blessings I choose instead to dwell in my disaters'

Just happened on your blog through Taza... I would like to say that this truly is beautiful.
So much has happened in my life, so many things that should not happen to a 16 year old and as I grew up I just heart break, sadness that was the only thing i knew. Your words, I had them written through out so many things. I truly believed that I was unfix able.
I never saw the light at the end of the fog.
Now..yes I am married. But my husband often feels it now, when I go to feeling un fixable. I truly believe it is something that will stay with you for ever.

your words are beautiful.
you "emptied my body of all its air" when you stated your fear, that is subconsciously my own--
"When what I'm really afraid of is that I am something that can only be loved in the dark--hidden and away. That to love me would be a shameful thing."
i relate to this terrible fear. though i have to constantly remind myself that fear is a liar.
I do believe with my whole heart that, "We love because we are human and it's the closest we get to divinity." and I will do my best to remember and invest in the truth over the lies.
thanks for your honesty.

When she was seven I bought her a bicycle.
When she was 11 I took her to see Billy Graham at ND, she said it was the most important day of her life.
Time passed, years and years, never seeing or knowing.
Thirty some years later...Facebook.
A date to meet at a little cafe in Michigan.
In she walked, smiling, hair flying, and our eyes met, as if for the first time.
And it was all over for me...doors banging off the hinges, windows wide open, sirens blaring, fireworks. And in the ensuing tumultuous 2 years I never, ever stopped loving her, and there were never any conditions...I just f...ing loved her, and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. If she was mean to me, I loved her; if we were kissing by the fireplace, I loved her; texting at 3 A.M., long emotional conversations, flowers, claddagh rings, sharing "You are the Love of my life" by Jim Brickman or Del Amitri's "Downfall" I loved her. There was absolutely nothing I could do to stop. It is as unexplainable as my relationship with the Mystery.
On Thanksgiving I brought her a ham from her favorite place,some potatoes, 2 pies and I filled up her freezer with her favorite frozen dinners. I told her for the numberless time I love you.
The following Tuesday.
The phone call.
And even if you really feel it (March 26, "The Book of Awakening") It never, ever goes away...and though you may move, you don't ever really move on. And I believe that the reason is that unconditional love is an event of the moment, of the eternal now; it is not confined to the length of a relationship, or to a history it is always NOW. I caught Josh Groban's "Happy in My Heartache" the other day and it spoke to me of being captured in the eternity of Love.
I couldn't save her.
And sixteen months later
the heartache continues.
And it is o k, and it is not maudlin, it just is. It will always be there, and it is a wonderful reminder of the truth of my being...that my purpose on this journey is to love, and I learned how to do so from her.
The saddest thought came when I realized she was now just a memory, and the happiest thought was how wonderful those memories are.
William Shakespeare, sonnet 116
I love your writing Meg.

The XBee Simple Board has been designed to allow an easy and reliable connection between XBee modules and your application. XBee and XBeePRO modules are fully supported, even the new XBee Series 2 is supported (but not tested yet). The rock-solid construction and the high-power voltage regulator ensure the maximum reliability and full performances of the XBee module.
Note: Images on this page show the board with an XBee module and header pins installed for illustration purposes only; an XBee module is not included and the header pins are not mounted. The board ships with a 9-pin single-row, right-angle pin header that can be soldered to the back side of the board as shown in the top picture. Single-row straight-pin headers that can be mounted to the bottom side of the PCB are not included; you can order such headers as an add-on option at the bottom of this page.
Two LEDs allow constant monitoring of the board activity and fast troubleshooting. You can connect the board in several ways. You can use two 12-pin male headers to use the board with a standard 24-pin 2.54mm DIL form factor, or you can use only the pins you need for your application. You can also solder the wires directly to the pins needed. A useful connector is provided on the back side of the board, where you can find the most important XBee connections. A 90° strip header can be used here or any 2.54mm pitch connector, depending on your application needs.
The board can be powered from a regulated 3.3V source, on any 3.3V pins, or from an unregulated power source up to 12V through the VIN pin. When the internal regulator is used, you can power external devices from any 3.3V pins. The source power depends on the XBee module installed.
Note: 7mm maximum height without XBee module.

What does this mean for nursing students? Well, to put it simply: more college.
Many nursing students are choosing to continue their education after finishing their Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN). They transfer their two-year degree to a four-year college and earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).
DCCCD makes transferring your community college credits to a four-year school easy. How? With articulation agreements.
Articulation agreements outline what course options a student should choose if transferring to a certain school. Think of it as a nice checklist of what classes will transfer. For nursing students, examples include chemistry, nursing skills, pharmacology and pathophysiology, to name a few.
Current DCCCD articulation agreements with nursing schools include:
The above articulation agreements establish a simple, seamless admission process whereby ADN students can transfer to a BSN program and count their credit hours towards a four-year degree. If you examine these above articulation agreements, you'll see exactly which nursing courses can be taken at a DCCCD college (for a low tuition rate) and then transferred to a four-year university. They save students hassle, time and money.
The other week we outlined
the benefits (and process) of earning your Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), passing your RN exam and becoming a registered nurse (RN).
But as you're learning in this article, your pathway doesn't have to end there.
Consider the benefits of transferring to a four-year nursing school to continue your studies:

text: The Frick Collection has recently released two databases that focus on provenance of artworks. The Archives Directory for the History of Collecting in America helps researchers locate primary source material about American collectors, dealers, agents and advisors, and the repositories that hold those records. The Archives include collectors who purchased American art, but also antiquities and non-Western art. The Montias Database of 17th Century Dutch Art Inventories provides detailed information on ownership of works of art during the Dutch Golden Age. It was compiled by late Yale University Professor John Michael Montias, and contains information from 1,280 inventories of goods (paintings, prints, sculpture, furniture, etc.) owned by people living in 17th century Amsterdam.

Great news! RaceTech's Motorcycle Suspension Bible, to which I contributed 140 illustrations, is still one of the best-selling suspension books!
Contact me if you would like a personally inscribed copy!
There are a lot of independent graphic designers with websites on the Internet who want your design and art direction business. But few of them understand that design is more than just pretty pictures and nice type. Their work may look good, but it does not always hit the mark. And that's bad news if you are the client.
Think about it. Your target audience sees hundreds, if not thousands of designs, ads and logos every day. If what you are showing the audience does not hit them exactly right and leave a lasting impression, your project will be lost in the noise, forgotten seconds after it was seen.
You can't afford that. And that is where I come in.
I am a professional art director: I have been doing graphic design and illustration for more than three decades. While most of the kids advertising as graphic artists were just learning the difference between Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, I was designing award-winning advertising, collateral, packaging and identity for clients from coast to coast. Today, I still do killer design, illustration & photography, helping people like you tell their story.
When you work with me, you'll get memorable, eye-catching art and design. But more importantly, my work will make sure your message is delivered visually in the most powerful way possible. Because graphic design and art direction are about more than simply making words and pictures look good. It is about using powerful visuals that convey emotion and message. It is about persuading your audience to remember your message and to take action.
But just as importantly, while I will always provide you with my best ideas and advice, I never forget that you are the client. When this is all said and done, it is what you want that counts. And I will deliver that for you with my best work. Every time.
I also know you're a busy professional, committed to running your business. I respect that. I make it a priority to be easy to work with. I can provide photography services and a variety of illustration styles that will enhance your project. If there is a need for an outside vendor, I'll handle it so you don't have to. I make it easy for you.
Last but not least, you can count on me to respect your wallet and your deadlines. When you and I talk about your project, I will give you a budget, tell you what that budget includes, and I will stick to it. When you and I agree on a timeline for delivery, I will meet the deadlines. Period. Most importantly, you will be happy with the work. I will not let you go away feeling anything other than amazed and thrilled.
So take a look at my portfolio and then drop me a line. I will get back to you by the next business day to discuss your project with you. Then if you and agree that working together would be a good fit, we will rock and roll. Powerful, persuasive design to follow.

Every once in a while, humanity manages to do something so sublimely awful that all we can do is laugh. Next month, we'll mark the 40th anniversary of one of these events.
No one died when Cleveland's pollution-choked Cuyahoga River caught fire and burned. At least not immediately. Johnny Carson made Tonight Show jokes about it. Randy Newman wrote a song about it. REM wrote another song about it years later. Richard Nixon signed a law because of it. Thanks to the burning Cuyahoga, Cleveland rose to battle my native New Jersey for supremacy as America's most ridiculed place.
Oh, and there's one more thing: The June 22 fire that sparked a national uproar was nothing new for the Cuyahoga, nor for many rivers in industrial areas. This page from the library at Cleveland State University displays photographs from six previous river torchings, from 1949 to 1961, and there are so many other anecdotal reports of riparian blazes that it's probably not unfair to describe them as routine events. A 1952 fire, believed to be the biggest, caused $1.5 million in damage to bridges and nearby structures.
(A quick digression here about other burning rivers: About 20 years ago, I spoke at Youngstown State University in Ohio. I mentioned the legend of the burning Cuyahoga, some 40 miles away. A few days later, I got a letter from an outraged student who had attended the speech. It seems Youngstown's Mahoning River had also caught fire, and he was sick and tired of Cleveland and the Cuyahoga getting all the glory. So, better late than never, here's to you, Mahoning River.)
The 1969 Cuyahoga blaze was extinguished quickly in part because the city had a fireboat patrolling the river in anticipation of the river catching fire. By the best available accounts, a spark from a freight car crossing the river on a trestle ignited oil, sludge, logs, and singed the bridge itself. It was out too quickly for news crews to grab any pictures. Which is why Time magazine, in an essay sounding the alarm about burning rivers, used a photo from the 1952 blaze.
Years later, Carol Browner invoked the image while serving as the Clinton-era EPA administrator. "I will never forget a photograph of flames, fire, shooting right out of the water in downtown Cleveland," she said. "It was the summer of 1969 and the Cuyahoga River was burning." Of course, the photo she remembered was actually from 1952.
Which of course doesn't matter. America was waking up to its accruing environmental problems, and the latest in a long series of Cuyahoga fires became an anointed poster child. By 1972, Congress had passed, and Nixon had signed, what became known as the Clean Water Act (CWA) with a goal of restoring America's waterways to "fishable, swimmable" condition. The law attacked "point-source" dischargers -- those who dump pollutants directly into waterways. It also tried to get hold of "non-point" pollutants -- runoff from farm chemicals, oil from streets and parking lots, leaky septic tanks, and more. The CWA also embraced development and destruction along waterways and in wetlands, giving regulators a tool to protect entire river and lake systems.
Thirty-seven years later, the Clean Water Act is still a long way from total success. I suspect that quite a few of you reading this haven't accepted the nearest river as being "swimmable." Development pressure for CWA-protected wetlands has unleashed an unending torrent of litigation. But the CWA has gone a long way toward reversing a national disgrace. This timeline gives a good reading of both its successes and its failures. A recent PBS "Frontline" investigation highlights two of its monumental failures — cleaning up Chesapeake Bay and Puget Sound.
Today, the Cuyahoga is marketed as an urban garden spot. Under the Clean Water Act, the river's been fire-proofed, hopefully for good. It winds past the Flats, a once-dying factory and warehouse zone that's now the heart of Cleveland's club/restaurant/bar nightlife. It flows past the arena where LeBron James plays basketball, and the ballpark where the Indians try and fail every year to be World Series champs. It meets Lake Erie not far from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where Jim Morrison's Cub Scout uniform and Madonna's stainless steel brassiere are on display. (I believe the latter is on loan from the Museum of Engineering.) As for Lake Erie, it's no longer on deathwatch. The lake's still battling pollution, and a growing legion of invasive fish and mussels that crowd out native populations, but it's alive.
In truth, the industry that fouled the river didn't leave; it died. Cleveland's hardly an economically healthy city, and the river's hardly a garden spot. It's still challenged by all of the problems of any urban stream: runoff, and aging sewage and septic systems. But it's come a long, long way, and Cleveland should be proud.
So should we all be proud. Even Nixon, who signed the law that turned around a thousand Cuyahogas from coast to coast. The only discouraging note is that we needed a sublimely awful image like a burning river to awaken us, and we needed it broadcast and talked about from coast to coast before we found the collective will to deal at least partially with the problem. More sublimely awful events may await us with climate change. Let's hope that that's not what it takes, but if it does, let's hope it's not too late to get off our butts and fix the problem.
Peter Dykstra is the former executive producer of CNN's Science, Tech and Weather Unit. He has maintained three columns for MNN: Media Mayhem, Political Habitat and Green States.
If you're wondering why I'm writing about the Cuyahoga Anniversary nearly a month before it happens, it's because this is my last column for MNN. I start next week in Washington as deputy director at the Pew Charitable Trust's Environment Group. It's a full-time job and then some, and a great opportunity. Writing here has been a blast, and I hope you've enjoyed it. Or gotten mad about it. Or at least learned from it.

Have Al Qaeda and associated Islamist terror groups become incompetent?
After all, the car bomb used in Saturday's failed Times Square attack was a fizzle. FBI Deputy Director John Pistole on Tuesday said the bomb "does not appear to us to be the most sophisticated device."
Faisal Shahzad, the Pakistani-born US citizen arrested and charged with the attempted attack, appears to have had little real training in explosives technique, according to US officials. And the Times Square bungle was preceded by the Christmas Day incident in which a Muslim Nigerian man on a Northwest Airlines flight tried, and failed, to ignite plastic explosives sewn into his underwear.
Are these twin flops evidence of systemic ineptitude? Perhaps. But it is at least as likely that they show Al Qaeda and its allies have moved towards a new, more decentralized, method of targeting the US and other Western nations.
A new terrorist model
"The new terrorist model might be lightly trained individuals deployed as quickly as possible in hopes they succeed," says Juan Zarate, senior adviser at the Transnational Threat Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Despite the apparent low quality of the bombing equipment, the Times Square bomber presented a clear and present danger to the people of New York, according to law enforcement officials.
"He clearly had the intent to do harm," said Pistole at a Tuesday afternoon Justice Department press conference.
The Times Square plot was a serious attempt to sow death and destruction on New York's streets, said Attorney General Eric Holder. The reality is that there are many terrorists in the world who wish the US ill, said Holder. The nation should not forget that, even as months and years pass without a successful attack.
"The most dangerous impression we can draw is that this threat no longer exists," said the attorney general.
Al Qaeda would love to mount another spectacular, 9/11-style attack on Western interests, note terrorism experts. But the counterterrorism efforts of the US and its allies have made the organization and deployment of multiperson terrorist teams much more difficult.
Trained in Pakistan
There may still be plots out there that reflect a more patient approach. Najibullah Zazi, the Denver airport shuttle bus employee arrested last September and charged with plotting to bomb the New York subway, appears to have received fairly extensive training in explosives while at an Al Qaeda training camp in Pakistan in 2008, for instance.
US authorities allege that Mr. Zazi was planning to use hydrogen peroxide-based bombs, and had amassed a stock of raw material in preparation for the assault. He had cased the New York subway system as well.
Zazi fled New York last September after he became aware he was being watched. He was arrested in Denver on Sept. 16 without incident.
Mr. Shahzad recently also spent five months in Pakistan, according to news reports. It's not clear whom he met. But the gasoline-and-fireworks bomb allegedly made by him was much more amateurish than Zazi's approach, note experts.
In a way, what the US is seeing now may be judged a return to more usual terrorist tactics.
After all, terrorism, by definition, is an attention-getting strategy employed by those without the ability to mount conventional military attacks.
"Terrorism is a tool of the less-powerful, and they use what they have at hand," says Gary LaFree, a professor of criminology and director of the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism at the University of Maryland in College Park.
The deadly successes of the 9/11 attacks perhaps have made Islamist terrorists appear more competent than they are, in general. Mr. LaFree counts some 50 or 60 thwarted attacks linked to Al Qaeda or its allies since 2001.
"Terrorists use readily available, low-tech weapons, and they often screw up," says LaFree.
Times Square bomber probe: Did Faisal Shahzad act alone?

|Tom Riddle's diary
|Horcrux information
Winstanley's Bookstore & Stationers,
|Horcrux Victim
- "The diary. My diary. Little Ginny's been writing in it for months and months, telling me all her pitiful worries and woes — how her brothers tease her, how she had to come to school with secondhand robes and books, how — how she didn't think famous, good, great Harry Potter would ever like her… It's very boring, having to listen to the silly little troubles of an eleven-year-old girl. But I was patient. I wrote back. I was sympathetic, I was kind. Ginny simply loved me. "No one's ever understood me like you, Tom… I'm so glad I've got this diary to confide in… It's like having a friend I can carry around in my pocket…" […] So Ginny poured out her soul to me, and her soul happened to be exactly what I wanted… I grew stronger and stronger on a diet of her deepest fears, her darkest secrets."
- —Tom Riddle to Harry Potter, referring to Ginny Weasley[src]
Tom Riddle's diary was a blank diary which Tom Riddle transformed into a Horcrux. This event took place in 1943, during Riddle's fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it was the first Horcrux he ever made. Before Lord Voldemort's first defeat in 1981, the diary was passed to Death Eater Lucius Malfoy, who kept the diary, in secret, before slipping it into Ginny Weasley's cauldron of school supplies at Flourish and Blotts in 1992. The diary used its magical influence to possess and force Ginny to re-open the Chamber of Secrets, but it was destroyed by Harry Potter in 1993 with a basilisk's fang.
Creation of the diary as a HorcruxEdit
- "The diary was proof that he was the heir of Slytherin; I am sure that Voldemort considered it of stupendous importance."
- —Albus Dumbledore on the diary's importance to Voldemort.[src]
When Tom Marvolo Riddle was in his fifth year at Hogwarts, he used his ability to speak Parseltongue to open Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. He further used this language ability to order the Chamber's basilisk to terrorise the school and hunt down its Muggle-born students. Eventually one, a Ravenclaw girl named Myrtle, was killed. Riddle used this murder to infuse the journal with a piece of his soul, transforming it into a Horcrux.
After the death of Myrtle, Professor Dumbledore, then professor of Transfiguration, began suspecting Riddle. Knowing it was no longer safe to open the Chamber, and that the school might be shut down if another student was harmed, Riddle framed Rubeus Hagrid and his pet Aragog for the crimes. He imbued the diary with other powers, so that the Chamber could be opened again in the future.
In the following years, Riddle also questioned Potions professor Horace Slughorn about the properties of a Horcrux and how one might create multiple ones. Influenced by Riddle's charisma and believing his own wisdom was being admired, Slughorn told Riddle what little he knew on the subject.
Re-opening of the Chamber of SecretsEdit
- ". . . I was patient. I wrote back. I was sympathetic, I was kind. Ginny simply loved me . . . No one's ever understood me like you, Tom . . . I'm so glad I've got this diary to confide in . . . It's like a friend I can carry around in my pocket . . . If I say it myself, Harry, I've always been able to charm the people I needed."
- —Tom Riddle to Harry Potter on his manipulation of Ginny Weasley through the diary[src]
Some time during the First Wizarding War, Lord Voldemort entrusted the diary to the Death Eater Lucius Malfoy. The plan was to use the diary to reopen the Chamber, but Voldemort fell before this plan came to fruition. However, Malfoy still possessed the diary and, in 1992, he planted it on Ginny Weasley, hoping to kill three birds with one stone by sabotaging Ginny's father, purging the school of muggle-borns, and eliminating an incriminating piece of dark artefact. When the Weasleys and Harry left to King's Cross Station, Ginny accidentally left the diary at the Burrow. Just before they got to the motorway, she remembered the diary and demanded to be allowed to go back and get it. She soon learned how to use the diary to communicate with Tom Riddle, though she was unaware that he was Lord Voldemort, or if he was even real. Ginny wrote all of her deepest feelings and secrets in the diary, including her feelings of infatuation towards Harry Potter.
Her emotional vulnerability allowed the fragment of Voldemort's soul within the diary to gain partial control of her mind and force her to re-open the Chamber of Secrets. Ginny was forced not only to vandalise the school corridors with terrifying threats written in chicken blood, but also to release the basilisk within the Chamber and strangling chickens to prevent the snake from dying, all the while in a sort of trance, never knowing what she had been doing. The basilisk attacked several members of the Hogwarts community, including Mrs. Norris, Colin Creevey, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Nearly-Headless Nick, Hermione Granger, and Penelope Clearwater. These individuals were not murdered by the basilisk, but petrified - a result of not seeing the basilisk directly.
When the attacks began, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger began to investigate the matter. They initially suspected Draco Malfoy, who was openly prejudiced against Muggle-borns, but after using Polyjuice Potion to spy on him, they discovered that he knew as little about the attacks as they did. Hermione eventually deduced that the monster had to be a basilisk, but she was petrified before she could inform Harry or Ron, though she managed to leave them a relatively straight-forward clue.
Harry heard strange voices in the walls of Hogwarts, which exhorted the urge to kill. Harry followed the voices through the Hogwarts corridors until he came upon the second floor girls' lavatory. It was here that he discovered the water-logged diary, which Ginny had discarded when she suspected that it was she who was petrifying the Muggle-borns, and that she finally realised that the diary was the cause. Soon enough, Harry was communicating with Tom Riddle, who showed him a memory within the diary, in which Riddle confronted Rubeus Hagrid about the keeping of a dangerous pet. This implied to Harry that Hagrid had opened the Chamber of Secrets, but Riddle was merely using Hagrid's pet Acromantula, Aragog, as a scapegoat so Hogwarts would not be closed down.
Later, Ginny, having seen the diary amongst Harry's books, stole the diary from among Harry's room, fearing that Riddle would tell Harry about her feelings towards him, and shortly thereafter went missing. She was forced to paint a threat against her life on the walls of a hallway and sealed herself inside the Chamber. Hogwarts was again under threat of being closed down.
- "Haven't I taught you anything? What have I always told you? Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain!"
- —Arthur Weasley to his daughter after her rescue[src]
- Albus Dumbledore: "When Voldemort discovered that the diary had been mutilated and robbed of all its power, I am told that his anger was terrible to behold"
- Harry Potter: "But I thought he meant Lucius Malfoy to smuggle it into Hogwarts?"
- Albus Dumbledore: "Yes he did, years ago, when he was sure he would be able to create more Horcruxes, but still Lucius was supposed to wait for Voldemort's say-so, and he never received it, for Voldemort vanished shortly after giving him the diary. No doubt he thought that Lucius would not dare do anything with the Horcrux other than guard it carefully, but he was counting too much upon Lucius's fear of a master who had been gone for years and whom Lucius believed dead. Of course, Lucius did not know what the diary really was. I understand that Voldemort had told him the diary would cause the Chamber of Secrets to reopen, because it was cleverly enchanted. Had Lucius known he held a portion of his master's soul in his hands he would undoubtedly have treated it with more reverence--but instead he went ahead and carried out the plan for his own ends: by planting the diary upon Arthur Weasley's daughter, he hoped to discredit Arthur, have me thrown out of Hogwarts and get rid of a highly incriminating object in one stroke."
- — Albus Dumbledore talking to Harry Potter about the diary Horcrux[src]
Lord Voldemort was unaware that this Horcrux had been destroyed, until he forced the truth out of Lucius Malfoy (who did not know the diary was a Horcrux) shortly after his return to power in June of 1995, due to the portion of the soul being separated from his body for such a long time. Despite the known risks of using the diary as a weapon instead of a safeguard, Voldemort was nevertheless furious to learn of its destruction due to Lucius implementing the plan without Voldemort's say-so, in order to dispose of the diary for his own benefit, in attempting to destroy the Weasley family and Dumbledore's reputation, as well as getting rid of an incriminating Dark Art artefact (the Ministry was conducting a search at the time); this was one of the many reasons he lost trust in the Malfoy family and why Lucius was punished and demoted.
Although Voldemort was unaware of the diary's destruction until Malfoy reported it to him, he attributed this to his non-corporeal status at the time of its loss; as a result, he took no additional precautions to safeguard the remaining horcruxes, assuming that they were safe and undamaged until the break-in to Gringotts confirmed that someone else was hunting for them.
- "While the magical container is still intact, the bit of soul inside it can flit in and out of someone if they get too close to the object. I don't mean holding it for too long…I mean close emotionally. Ginny poured her heart out into that diary, she made herself incredibly vulnerable. You're in trouble if you get too fond of or dependent on the Horcrux."
- —Hermione Granger on a Horcrux's ability to influence a person[src]
As a Horcrux, the diary allowed a writer to communicate with the memory of the sixteen-year-old Tom Riddle, merely through writing on the journal's blank pages. The diary could transport the reader into a realm of memories, much like the Pensieve. The diary was also able to siphon the life force from a reader and transfer it to Riddle's stored memory. This act was an endeavour to create a physical body for the sixteen-year-old soul of Tom Riddle. The closer a writer became to the memory of Tom Riddle emotionally, the more power the diary would acquire over him or her. As this diary contained Riddle's soul, it also housed his magical powers, including the ability to speak Parseltongue, even by possessing the writer to speak it, which was instrumental in reopening the Chamber of Secrets.
It is unclear whether other Horcruxes include any of these same abilities; however, Salazar Slytherin's Locket had a negative physical and emotional effect on those who wore it, and Cadmus Peverell's ring fatally cursed Albus Dumbledore. Also, it is unknown if Riddle placed powerful enchantments to protect the diary from being destroyed by conventional means, as he did with all of his other Horcruxes, but it is highly likely that this was indeed the case.
Behind the scenesEdit
- The diary was originally purchased from a Muggle shop on Vauxhall Road in London.
- Considering Draco Malfoy's reaction to finding the diary with Harry, Lucius apparently never showed the book to his son.
- This Horcrux revealed to Harry Potter that Lord Voldemort was once Tom Riddle.
- In an interview with J. K. Rowling, she states that "My sister used to commit her innermost thoughts to her diary. Her great fear was that someone would read it. That's how the idea came to me of a diary that is itself against you. You would be confiding everything to pages that aren't inanimate."
- J.K. Rowling has also stated, "Now, the diary to me is a very scary object, a really, really frightening object. This manipulative little book, the temptation particularly for a young girl to pour out her heart to a diary, which is never something I was prone to, but my sister was. The power of something that answers you back, and at the time that I wrote that I'd never been in an Internet chat room. But I've since thought "Well it's very similar." Just typing your deepest thoughts into the ether and getting answers back, and you don't know who is answering you. And so that was always a very scary image to me, in the book, and I thought it worked very well in the film. You could understand when he started writing to see these things coming back to him, and the power of that, that secret friend in your pocket."
- In the second book and video game adaptation of it, Harry stuffed the diary in his sock. In the film adaptation, Harry puts the sock in the diary.
- In the book and film versions of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry destroys the diary with the basilisk's fang. In the GameBoy Advance version of the game, Harry stabs it with Godric Gryffindor's Sword. In the PC and PS2 version of the game the Basilisk lands on the diary.
- According to Dumbledore, Voldemort tends to use extremely valuable trophies or sentimentally important artefacts to create his Horcruxes, and that the reason for this diary was chosen was due to it proving him to be the heir of Slytherin. Otherwise, the fact that the diary was a common artefact made it very ironic to be considered valuable in Voldemort's eyes, especially when it was manufactured by his hated enemies: Muggles.
- The diary is the only of Voldemort's artificial Horcruxes that he acquired legally.
- This diary was used as a weapon, to unleash the basilisk once again in Hogwarts, rather than keeping the portion of the soul safe, which is what Horcruxes were meant for. It shares this attribute with a fellow Horcrux of Voldemort, Nagini, who was sent on missions from time to time.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, a Year 2 level had the same name as the book.
- The Noble Collection has released a replica of the diary.[6]
- The diary is Bonnie Wright's favourite prop from the films.[7]
- The diary had a small hole on the front of it and a dent coming out the back at the end of Chamber Of Secrets, but in The Half-Blood Prince, it somehow has a huge gaping hole in that is not even the size of a fang, creating a potential consistency error, although, perhaps, the Basilisk venom was of an adequate toxicity to continue inflicting damage on the book for some time after the fang was removed.
- In the original script for the film of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Ginny states that she hid the diary in the Room of Hidden Things, which she learned about from Fred and George Weasley, and says that she wishes that she had just left it there. Even if this line had been included in the final film, however, it cannot be considered canon, as in the books Fred and George Weasley only knew of the room as a broom-cupboard they once hid in and were never aware that it could be used at any time until the revelation of the room and Dumbledore's Army's use of it in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.[8]
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4,Ginny Weasley plays with the book ignoring Harry by hitting him in the ribs.

WASHINGTON, DC — Only 2.2 percent of Americans use exercise equipment, according to analysis by researchers at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, LA. The researchers looked at data from the American Time Use Survey, conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The survey of 80,000 Americans includes the average amount of time per day in 2009 that individuals worked, did household activities, and engaged in leisure and sports activities.
The researchers found that 5 percent of Americans exercise vigorously and 1.1 percent run for exercise, while between 78 percent and 88 percent of Americans have sedentary occupations in which they sit much of the day.
According to the survey, watching TV was the leisure activity that occupied the most time (2.8 hours per day), accounting for about half the leisure time, on average, for those ages 15 and over. Socializing, such as visiting with friends or attending or hosting social events, was the next most common leisure activity, accounting for nearly three-quarters of an hour per day.
Men were more likely than women to participate in sports, exercise or recreation on any given day — 21 percent compared with 16 percent. On the days that they participated, men also spent more time in these activities than did women, 2.0 hours compared with 1.4 hours.

Warning Signs of Cardiac Arrest in Young Athletes
By Michael A. Smith, MD
But summer also means high school football and those dreaded two-per-day practices. And unfortunately, nearly every year, we hear about a young athlete succumbing to sudden cardiac death. It's a horrible tragedy that saddens and scares us all.
When we hear about it, we start to question everyone involved. Were the coaches working them too hard? Should teenagers even have two-per-day practices in the middle of summer? Did the family doctor miss something during a physical?
These are all legitimate questions and probably should be investigated.
But as a medical doctor, I always think to myself, "Did this child ever have symptoms indicating a heart problem?" A great way to answer this question is to investigate cases where the young athletes were successfully resuscitated and are alive today.
Identifying the warning signs and symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest could help parents and doctors recognize a potentially life threatening heart condition.
And that's exactly what researchers at several U.S. medical centers did last year. Their findings were published recently in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine.
Let's take a look at what they discovered about sudden cardiac arrest in young athletes.
Are the Warning Symptoms of Cardiac Arrest Detectable?Here's the researchers' hypothesis: "Young adults with undiagnosed cardiovascular disorders at risk for sudden death may have warning symptoms or significant family history that is detectable through screening."1
Their objective was to determine the prevalence of warning symptoms by looking into the histories of children and young adults who suffered sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). They conducted a retrospective survey investigating the study subjects' past medical and family history for anything that might indicate a serious heart condition.1
Eighty-seven of 146 families completed the survey. The average age of the kids who suffered SCA was 16 years old and 69% were boys, and 68% white. Seventy-two percent of SCA victims were reported by their parents to have a least one cardiovascular symptom within 2 ½ years of suffering sudden cardiac arrest. The most common cardiovascular symptoms reported were:1
- Generalized fatigue — 44%
- Lightheadedness — 30%
- Family history of SCA before age 50 — 27%
- One or more episodes of passing out or unexplained seizure — 24%
What You Need to KnowThe authors concluded: "Many children and young adults who suffered SCA are reported to have cardiac symptoms or a family history of premature cardiac death. Syncope [passing out] and unexplained seizure activity are distinct events but often go unrecognized as ominous signs of underlying cardiovascular disease."
What we've learned from this study is that warning symptoms precede SCA and there's usually a family history. Generalized cardiovascular screening for all young athletes is probably not necessary if parents, coaches and doctors simply ask specific, probing questions for symptoms of fatigue and lightheadedness. Parents should investigate family histories for premature deaths as well.
If you suspect something is wrong, speak with your doctor. Maybe a cardiac stress test is warranted; maybe nothing needs to be done.
But the point we're making is this: Sudden cardiac arrest is often not so "sudden" in terms of warning symptoms. We just need to ask the right questions and run the right tests, if necessary.

When authors take the traditional publishing road one of the things that readers can usually look forward to are book signings. So what about Ebook launches? After all there are no brick and mortar stores where the book can found and actual book tours become even rarer.

This author is going to try something that perhaps is unique or perhaps has been done before but not well known. This author's new release, Darkest Vow, which drops as a featured Ebook release on June 11th will also come with an opportunity to have a personalized autographed copy of the novel's cover sent them electronically.
So how's this going to work?
The offer is for the first 100 readers who contact me with a private message on my Facebook page after the book launch on June 11th. For the readers contacting me please send me the following information:
- Your name for personalization (optional)
- The opening line of Chapter 10
And that's it. For the lucky 100 I will send a personalized and autographed copy of the Ebook cover back to you electronically. If the promotion is successful I just may be persuaded to run another promotion just like this!
So get ready to grab your copy of Darkest Vow tomorrow on June 11th from your favorite Ebook retailer – Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, Google Play, and Smashwords.
Happy reading all! And remember this hardboiled detective saga featuring Joseph Riley will make an excellent Father's Day gift!

Here's question five in our lead-up to World AIDS Day on Dec. 1.
Remember when you answer each day's HIV/AIDS question correctly, you are eligible to win a free CD – your choice of either Portable Sounds by tobyMac or Beyond Measure by Jeremy Camp. We'll randomly choose a winner each day from the correct answers.
The answer to Friday's question is 1,000.
During 2007, an average of 1,000 children worldwide became infected each day with HIV, the vast majority of them newborns. Many people living in poverty are never tested and are unaware of their HIV positive status, thus increasing the rate of transmission. An important focus of our AIDS Initiative is the prevention of mother-to-child transmission.

Andre Agassi is responding to criticism of his crystal meth use with a plea for compassion, telling "60 Minutes" he needed help when he took the drug while depressed in 1997.
Discussing his new autobiography, Agassi became emotional when reacting to comments by Martina Navratilova, who compared him to Roger Clemens.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: The Latest Star Sightings
CBS released excerpts from the interview Thursday and will broadcast it Sunday night.
In his book "Open," which goes on sale Monday, Agassi says he used crystal meth in 1997 and failed a drug test — a result he says was thrown out after he lied by saying he unwittingly took the substance.

I must have an old soul –dating back to the early 20th century. That's why my entertainment palette was so enamored with Rodgers & Hart: A Celebration.
This Light Opera Works Celebration review features six performers singing and dancing to an amazing repertoire of 57 songs written from 1919 to 1943. Some songs were hits of their day in movies, Broadway and Tin Pan Alley, while others were new to this reviewer. But all in all, this musical review of Rodgers and Hart was a treasure trove mixing all kinds of human emotion and feelings.
The fact that so many songs were familiar favorites of mine made the evening a fast-paced quiet sing-along for me. And, while no song was my absolute favorite, I could count on two hands songs I love, including "Falling in Love with Love," "With a Song in My Heart," "Blue Moon," "I Wish I Were In Love Again," "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World," "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" and a song I hardly ever hear, but adore, "Mountain Greenery."
The concept of this musical affair was designed by the talented Richard Lewine and John Fearnley, and conducted by Linda Stein. Costume designer Darcy Elora Hofer dressed the singers splendidly, while Adam L. Veness designed the night club scene, making the whole review work so well together.
The talented singers, who were equally adept at dancing to each tune, were Amy Brophy, Tiffany Desmond, Bethany Thomas, David Geinosky, Jon Landvick, and Rob Riddle. I thought they looked like smashing night club attendees in their smart black dresses and tuxedos. Director and choreographer as well as Artistic Director of Light Opera Works, Rudy Hogenmiller did his usual excellent job making this musical review a delight to behold.

Dear Editor and Citizens of Appling County,
The reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 is to improve student achievement across the nation with particular focus on the achievement of low-performing students from low-income families. Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is one of the cornerstones of ESEA. It is a measure of the year-to-year student achievement on statewide assessments.

Digoxin, sold under the brand name Lanoxin, is a prescription drug used to help treat arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) and improve symptoms of fatigue caused by heart failure.
Digoxin belongs to a group of drugs known as anti-arrhythmics, which work by preventing sodium from being pumped out of heart cells.
You should not take digoxin if you:
Talk to your doctor before taking digoxin if you:
The concentration of digoxin in your blood can vary based on many factors and could become dangerous if not kept within a certain range.
Your doctor will probably have you come in for lab work from time to time to monitor your digoxin levels.
Digoxin is considered safe to use in the elderly as long as the dose is no greater than 0.125 milligram (mg) or 125 mcg per day.
As we age, our kidney function changes and normally slows, so our bodies can't get rid of certain substances, like digoxin, as quickly as they once could have.
Digoxin overdose symptoms in elderly are sometimes hard to pinpoint without running laboratory tests. Elderly people taking higher doses of digoxin may become delirious or confused and feel weak or tired.
Digoxin should only be taken by pregnant women when the risks outweigh the benefit.
Talk to your doctor if you are pregnant or might become pregnant before taking this medication.
Digoxin has been found to pass into breast milk, so talk to your doctor if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.
You should tell your doctor if any of the following side effects become severe or don't go away:
You should call your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following serious side effects:
Digoxin interacts with many drugs. As always, share with your doctor and pharmacist all prescription, non-prescription, illegal, recreational, herbal, nutritional, or dietary drugs you're taking.
You should not take Digoxin if you are taking any herbal supplements belonging to the squill family, such as white quill or Mediterranean squill.
Before taking digoxin, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications:
Digoxin can cause sleepiness, confusion, and problems with balance; drinking while taking digoxin could worsen these side effects.
For best results, avoid drinking alcohol while taking digoxin.
Grapefruit juice can lessen digoxin's ability to work.
You should avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while taking digoxin.
Digoxin comes in tablets and liquids for injection into muscles and veins.
Only trained medical professionals can give digoxin injections to a patient.
Tablets are available in doses of 0.125 milligram (mg) and 0.250 mg.
Sometimes, the doses may be written in micrograms (mcg): 120 mcg and 250 mcg.
Your doctor will draw blood to determine how much digoxin you should be taking each day.
This will also determine the maximum amount of digoxin you are to receive.
You should be consistent in taking digoxin the same time every day.
If you suspect an overdose, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately.
You can get in touch with a poison control center at (800) 222-1222.
In certain situations of severe overdose, medical professionals may give you an antidote to digoxin.
If you miss a dose of digoxin, try to take it as soon as you remember.
If it's less than 12 hours before your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule.
Don't take two doses of the medication at the same time.

Brendon Watt is a successful International Speaker, facilitator of the Choice Of Possibilities classes worldwide and CFO of Access Consciousness Australia,
Growing up he says; "I always knew there was something different, and yet spent all of my time trying to fit in and be the same as everyone else. When I realised I could change anything - that is exactly what I did! "
Brendon now shares the tools of Access Consciousness that changed his life, so he can empower others to know that anything is possible.
A note from Brendon:
"So I was looking at my life and wondering what next? I was not happy. I did not want my life to be like this.
I didn't realize how much abuse I had invited into my life from so many different sources. I was not being me. I was not choosing my life for me. It was always about something or someone else. I had created this.
I literally had given the universe/god/whoever a demand that something change. I was not wanting to live anymore. I was done. I have a son, and that is the one thing that made me want to live and find something different. I knew there had to be another way.
I picked up a newspaper one day and read a small advert saying "All of life comes to me with Ease & Joy & Glory" Call Mel. (it was even in pink). I did call her. Two days later I had my bars run. And it changed my life. For the first time ever I felt relaxed and happy. There was a sense of space in my world that I had not had in such a long time.
I kept getting my bars run once a week for about 8 weeks. My life was changing. And then I asked for more. I did Foundation, Level One, Two & Three and found myself at Mission Beach at a 7 day event – all within 2 weeks. My life was definitely changing.
That was in March 2010. It's crazy how much my life has changed. I keep getting happier and happier each day, and more and more shows up in my life.
I'd like to invite you to change any area of your life that is not working. It takes the courage to choose something different. To KNOW that you KNOW that something else is possible?
Please, what are you waiting for?
What else is possible?

Charter bus carrying teachers hits guardrail
Some passengers suffer minor injuries, police say
A charter bus driver fell asleep when the vehicle ran off the road and hit a guardrail on Interstate 95 in Aberdeen, state police said.
The accident was reported about 9 a.m. near Route 22. Emergency officials said the bus was carrying 48 passengers. The bus was carrying a group of teachers from Newark, Del., to an outing at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore.
Maryland State Police said four to five passengers complained of minor injuries that included neck and back issues. Several southbound lanes were closed briefly while the patients were loaded into ambulances. All the injuries reported appear to be minor in nature, and the patients were taken to hospitals as a precaution.
Investigators said the bus drove up an embankment, and the driver awoke, steering the bus back onto the highway's right shoulder.
Kirk M. Wiltshire, 54, of Wyoming, was cited for driving while fatigued and negligent driving, state police said.
