The Latest on Inhaled Insulin
Researchers revisit possible diabetes therapy
As a medical writer with type 1 diabetes, I love learning about developments in diabetes care that might help myself and others with diabetes – this is one of the best parts about dLife, for me, seeing news on the show about new diabetes products! I attend 30-40 conferences per year in which I learn about new developments in diabetes, and dLife has asked me, in this column, to write about some of my most interesting learnings each month. Hurrah – it is a great time in diabetes and I'm excited to share my learnings.
So first up, in mid-April, 2005, I heard Jay Skyler, M.D., of the University of Miami, Florida, speak at the Clinical Diabetes Technology Meeting in San Francisco, California. Dr. Skyler's distinguished career has spanned a wide spectrum of topics in diabetes, including diabetes prevention, diagnosis and management of complications, psychological aspects of living with diabetes, and the use of new technologies and drugs to improve the health of people with diabetes. I was privileged to attend his presentation, "Update on Inhaled Insulin."
The prospect of inhaled insulin was first discussed in a German medical journal in 1925, only four years after the discovery of insulin. According to Dr. Skyler, inhaled insulin has resurfaced as a possible therapy for diabetes approximately every ten years since then. As they say, everything old is new again! Today, questions are swirling about inhaled insulin - whether it works as well as insulin taken by shots or in a pump, whether it is safe, whether it will be approved, how it will be priced, who should take it, etc.
There has been progress on the development front, and earlier this year, the companies making one formulation, Exubera (made by a small biotechnology company, Nektar, with Big Pharma partners Sanofi-Aventis and Pfizer), submitted the drug to the FDA – that means they are now waiting for the FDA to say yes or no as to whether it should be made available to individuals with diabetes. Dr. Skyler's presentation covered both the potential benefits and drawbacks of inhaled insulin – fascinating!
• PRINCIPLES: Dr. Skyler began his presentation by explaining the principles underlying the development of inhaled insulin. If the tissues within an adult's lungs that can absorb an inhaled substance were spread on the ground, they would cover a tennis court! For this reason, inhaled insulin can be absorbed well into the body. Yet insulin delivered into the lungs has a bioavailability of 10–15% (this means only 10-15% is available for use in the body to manage blood glucose), so a pulmonary liquid or powder insulin formulation must be highly concentrated to be effective. All of the companies at work on inhaled insulin have designed proprietary delivery devices for their products, ranging from the size of two soft-drink cans stacked on top of each other down to the size of a common asthma inhaler (i.e., a deck of cards).
• STUDY FINDINGS: Dr. Skyler also discussed the findings of several recent scientific studies of inhaled insulin. Inhaled insulin can control blood glucose levels at mealtimes, but insulin-requiring patients (whether type 1 or type 2) must still take at least one long-acting basal insulin injection each day. Thus far, he noted, there is more improvement in patients not already on insulin than in patients who were already on injected insulin therapy before trying inhaled insulin. In particularly, it sounds like patients with type 2 diabetes who struggle to control their diabetes using oral medications might be the best candidates from inhaled insulin. Inhaled insulin does entail a risk for hypoglycemia, just like injected insulin. Most trial participants have preferred inhaled insulin to injections, Dr. Skyler said.
• VARIOUS FORMULATIONS: Some formulations of inhaled insulin begin to lower blood glucose as quickly as injected rapid-acting insulin analogs (Humalog or Novolog), but the inhaled insulin may take longer to wear off. However, inhaled insulin's action within the body can vary by 15–30%, about the same as injected human Regular insulin. If you ever thought that Regular insulin seemed to work differently from day to day, you were probably right! Smokers tend to experience better inhaled insulin absorption because inhaled insulin can better penetrate the surface of a damaged lung — but that is not a reason to smoke. Inhaled insulin works less well in the presence of an upper respiratory infection, but right now the impact of inhaled insulin on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is unclear. To date, inhaled insulin users with asthma have seen no deterioration in respiratory function from using inhaled insulin, but some non-asthmatic patients have developed a mild cough. Dr. Skyler emphasized the need for long-term safety studies as well as for more short-term investigations.
• FURTHER RESEARCH NEEDED: In the last part of his presentation, Dr. Skyler outlined some issues for further research regarding inhaled insulin. Inhaled insulin is very expensive; whether the extra cost is justified has not been conclusively demonstrated. There are still remaining major research needs – longer-term studies, more extensive study of inhaled insulin use in children (the diabetic population for whom reducing the number of injections per day might be most attractive), etc. Additionally, using inhaled insulin combined with exercise could be an issue: at this point, whether cardiovascular exercise affects the absorption of insulin in the lungs is an open question.
The bottom line? Inhaled insulin could be a significant advance in the treatment of diabetes, but it is not a magic bullet, it won't suit everyone with diabetes, and more research is needed to understand the effects of long-term inhaled insulin use. That said, it could well serve as a wonderful tool for people who need insulin but don't take it currently and the public health benefits may be quite meaningful – stay tuned!

Welcome to Meaningful Use
There are solutions to enable you to use EHR development to improve the efficiency of predictive modeling, management of population health information, and the delivery of personalized patient treatment plans. The proposed Stage 2 meaningful use requirements can help you maximize your hospitals health care potential. The Federal Register recently announced the publication of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Stage 2 of meaningful use (MU).
Start preparing today to meet the Stage 2 requirements of meaningful use.
On June 16, 2011 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) received formal recommendations from the HIT Policy Committee on Stage 2 requirements for meaningful use of EHR technology. The final rule on these recommendations will be published this summer (2012). Stage 2 criteria will make changes to the scope and thresholds of Stage 1 meaningful use measures. The optional objectives in the Stage 1menu set are recommended to be mandatory in Stage 2.
The criteria are centered around furthering the exchange of health information and improving point-of-care in an advanced format. There are more robust requirements for e-prescribing and the incorporation of structured laboratory results. Streamlined transitions in care and improved interoperability among systems and providers will be met through the electronic transmission of patient care summaries.

December 17, 2013
Republic Services Inc. announced the deployment of 107 compressed natural gas solid waste and recycling trucks to serve customers in Anaheim and throughout Orange County. The new CNG fleet replaced older diesel and liquid natural gas powered trucks.
Republic installed a natural gas fueling station to support its new fleet of CNG powered trucks in Anaheim. Natural gas fueling stations enable CNG trucks to fuel during non-peak hours, which has the added benefit of reduced energy consumption during the refueling process.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, each new CNG solid waste and recycling truck reduces ozone-forming emissions by as much as 80% when compared to older diesel powered trucks. In addition, each new CNG truck deployed is equivalent to removing five passenger vehicles from local roads for one year, or to adding 600 mature trees into the local environment.
Republic operates a fleet of more than 1,400 CNG vehicles and 26 natural gas fueling stations nationwide. Approximately 50% of all Republic vehicles purchased in 2013 are powered by the domestic fuel source.
Republic Services employs more than 300 team members at its Anaheim division, and serves more than 180,000 residential and 13,000 commercial customers in Orange County.
We offer e-newsletters that deliver targeted news and information for the entire fleet industry.

There can be so much confusion when it comes to deciding how best to take care of our health and wellbeing - and, although the internet is a wonderful source for advice, alongside the many reliable health websites sit some pretty poor ones with guidance that's incorrect at best and dangerous at worst.
Conflicting health tips do not only cause a conundrum but also, follow the wrong guidance, and it can be detrimental to our health.
Nowhere is this more apparent than with dental care. For a start, there are so many treatments for teeth available these days - we have a whole menu of options from those that promise to improve our bite to others that will make smiles straighter quicker and make teeth whiter.
But, also to contend with are the conflicting reports as to how best to brush, when to brush and how often. If we then further add into the mix the many consumer sites selling their treatments (and, take note, not all of these are registered dental professionals) then it's no wonder we get confused!
To mark National Smile Month (18 May-18 June), dental hygienist and dental therapist, Melonie Prebble, separates the myths from the truth as she debunks some popular misunderstandings as to how to achieve a healthy smile. So, here she puts you on a safe path, dodging any of those bad dental habits along the way.
7 big myths about dental health
Myth 1: Beauty salons are excellent places to get teeth whitened
If you've got an appointment booked with a beauty salon to have your teeth whitened, cancel it now! It is illegal for beauticians to offer tooth-whitening treatments and it is SOLELY the practice of dentistry. This means that tooth whitening can only be legally performed by a dentist - or a dental therapist, dental hygienist or a clinical dental technician working to the prescription of a dentist, ie you have to see a dentist before you see the other dental professionals to receive the treatment. The rules are there to protect your teeth and gums. Dental professionals train for many years to understand how the mouth works, to recognise disease and to know what treatments best suit what patient and how to carry them out.
In the wrong hands, the chemicals used to whiten teeth can do serious damage to the health of your mouth. The General Dental Council (it regulates our profession) has made it easy for you to check whether someone is registered before you sign up for tooth whitening.
Myth 2: Rinse your mouth out with water after brushing your teeth
Many years ago, this was the advice a lot of us probably heard from our parents, but now we know better. 'Spit not rinse' is the basic tip here - toothpaste contains lots of useful ingredients and that includes fluoride, which helps to protect our teeth against dental decay, strengthens the tooth enamel and reduces the amount of acid that the bacteria on your teeth produce. So, after brushing, spit out any excess toothpaste by all means, but don't rinse your mouth with water or even mouthwash. You really don't want to remove any left-behind fluoride that can continue to look after your teeth long after your two-minute-or-more brushing regime!
Myth 3: Brush teeth immediately after eating
Park that thought right there! As tempting as it may be to grab your toothbrush and scrub away at your teeth straight after a meal to get rid of any food particles, this can only be detrimental to your dental health as it can do more harm than good. Brushing within 30 minutes of finishing a meal can weaken tooth enamel, especially if you've consumed anything acidic such as oranges, grapefruit and lemons - or even if you drink anything acidic. Instead, chew sugar-free gum - it stimulates saliva flow, cleans the mouth of food debris and neutralises plaque acids. When you do get around to cleaning your teeth a little later, try not to be too aggressive with your brushing. Far better to invest in a powered toothbrush that scientists have proved is a better, kinder option for your teeth.
Myth 4: Fruit juice and diet drinks are far healthier than the sugary option
Fruit juices - and diet drinks - are just as bad for your teeth as their 'evil' sugary counterparts! They cause 'acid attacks' on teeth and even pure fruit juices can contain large amounts of naturally occurring sugars that also have a negative effect. In fact, some fruit juice may contain more sugar than other soft drinks. Over a period of time - and if consumed excessively - these drinks can wear down tooth enamel, leading to cavities, sensitive teeth and, possibly, tooth loss. Limit your intake or, better still, stick with still water - it's by far the healthiest option!
Myth 5: Avoid brushing bleeding gums
Some people believe that when your gums are bleeding you shouldn't brush them and should simply let them heal on their own. This is wrong. Bleeding gums are not normal and are often an early sign of gum disease (gingivitis). Risk factors including smoking, diabetes, medications and hormonal changes in women (such as pregnancy). If left untreated, this can worsen and will develop into periodontitis (inflammation around the tooth) where gums shrink and pull away from the teeth, forming pockets that can become infected. However, if caught early, it is treatable. A regular appointment with your dental hygienist or dental therapist will mean they are keeping an eye on the health of your teeth and gums and can advise on dietary or lifestyle changes that will reverse the disease if necessary.
Myth 6: If my teeth look fine and there's no pain, I don't have to see a dentist
How often you service your car depends on its age, its mileage and the manufacturer's recommendations. Your teeth are the same. Experts at the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommend that adults should be recalled for check-ups, depending on risk factors including alcohol, tobacco use and diet. So, they suggest every three months for those most at risk of dental problems and every two years for those with the lowest risk. It's wise to visit your dental team regularly even if you are not experiencing any problems with your mouth or teeth. Attending regularly helps you and your dentist, dental hygienist or dental therapist keep your teeth and gums healthy and pain-free. They will understand your needs and will recommend how often you visit based on their assessment.
Myth 7: Braces are for kids only
If you skipped the 'brace face' phase of childhood but have teeth that are crooked or an overcrowded mouth, all is not lost. Although orthodontic treatment is more popular with children (and often more successful), more and more adults are having treatment to fix a crooked smile or to correct malocclusion - or a 'bad bite'.
The British Orthodontic Society is a wonderful place to start if you're curious about braces and its website offers some great advice and information. As they put it, orthodontics is 'about improving the harmony of your mouth and jaws. Once you can bite together correctly, you can eat more comfortably and care for your teeth and gums more easily. And your smile will benefit immensely!'

The Keitech Fat Swing Impact 4.3" is a soft plastic swimbait designed to replicate the profile and movement of small forage fish that bass prey upon. After innumerable requests from anglers, Keitech finally gave in and created a happy medium between the 3.8 and 4.8 swimbaits - the 4.3" Swing Impact Fat your new go to for all types of swimbaiting. For several years the Keitech Swing Impact Swimbait was a secret of many west coast anglers. Much to their dismay, the word has slowly spread across the country and the results make this bait much more than idle dock talk. The most common issue with most small profile paddle-tail style swimbaits is the lack of tail kick produced by the bait when swam at slow speeds; in other words the bait required a fast retrieve that is not desirable when fishing swimbaits. The Swing Impact however, affords the angler the ability to retrieve it at the slowest speeds and still the wide tail-kick will be achieved. Even on the fall the tail has incredible action. The ribbed or zippered style of the Keitech Swing Impact and thin plastic connection to the tail are the two factors that give this bait its unparalleled swimming action.
We offer the Keitech Swing Impact Fat 4.3" in all of the popular colors. Baits come 6 per pack. Colors: 101-Green Pumpkin Pepper, 400-Ayu, 401-Green Pumpkin Chartreuse, 416-Silver Flash Minnow, 417-Gold Flash Minnow, 418-Bluegill Flash, 420-Pro Blue Red Pearl, 422-Sight Flash, 426-Sexy Shad, 429-Tennessee Shad, 431-Silver Shiner(Hasu), 432-Male Perch, 433-Pro Staff Special, 436-Black Shad, 438-Green Pumpkin Fire, 439-Rainbow Shad, 440-Electric Shad, 450-Electric Blue + Chartreuse, 452 - Smallmouth Magic, 454-Sun Gill, 458 - French Pearl
The 4.3" Keitech Swing Impact Swimbaits can be rigged a number of ways. The first of which is weightless with a wide gap swimbait hook for a really subtle presentation. For added depths anglers will find belly-weighted swimbait hooks, such as the Falcon Swimbait hook or Owner Beast hook, to be very effective. Finally, simply attaching the bait to a swimbait jig head, one of which is the Revenge Swimbait Head , will allow the angler to cover many depths - simply calculate the rate of fall and count the bait down to the desired depth.
The Keitech Swing Impact Fat version is also a great bait for the Alabama Rigs that have taken the country by storm. Additionally, the 4.3" size is absolutely ideal on the back of swim jigs or chatterbaits. Cutting the size down just a bit allows anglers to more accurately mimic the forage species present in most lakes.
The difference between the standard Swing Impact baits and the Fat version is simply a wider head. The Fat version has a more pronounced head that drastically thins as it approaches the tail. Anglers across the country have embraced the Keitech Swimbait due is variety of sizes, colors, and applicable fishing techniques.

Clerks (1994)
Great Start for one of the world's best directors
Clerks was Kevin Smith's first film it is one of my favorite movies it introduced two of the world's most recognizable characters (Jay and Silent Bob) with their first film debut as the dope dealers they are today. With Dante who's not even supposed to be there today and Randal who enjoys nothing more than torturing Dante. Jay (Jason Mewes)and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) are recurring characters in Smith's View Askewniverse they also appear in Mallrats,Chasing Amy (for one scene)Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and the soon to be released Clerks 2 this movie is a movie only meant probably for the age range of 15-22 because it says the F*** word over one hundred times if you have little kids DO NOT LET THEM WATCH THIS it might put ideas in their head that you don't want there.

Buffalo Tofu Wrap
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 10 mins
One of the dining halls at my university is well known for their delicious weekly buffalo chicken wraps. It's become an event we call Buffalo Chicken Wednesday. I'm a vegetarian, so I would ask for everything but the chicken and order a veggie burger to put in instead. They must have caught on to this because they started offering buffalo tofu wraps along with the chicken. Here's my recipe for wraps that I make at home. Enjoy!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 whole wheat sandwich wrap
- 1⁄2 cup tomatoes, slices
- 1 cup chopped lettuce
- 1⁄2 cup extra firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing or 2 tablespoons bleu cheese salad dressing
- 1⁄4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons buffalo, sauce
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (optional)
- Cut the tofu into cubes and fry it until the outside is firm and crispy.
- Add the buffalo sauce to the tofu and fry for about a minute more.
- Lay out the wrap and spread the ranch or bleu cheese dressing in a circle in the middle.
- Place the lettuce and tomato in the center of the wrap.
- Put the buffalo tofu on top of the veggies.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top of the hot tofu.
- Add hot sauce if you like it spicy.
- Wrap it up and enjoy!

Mmmm...This was a flavorful, fast and filling wrap. I think next time I would just leave the cheese off., only because I couldn't taste it and why bother with the calories if you can't taste them. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Like another reviewer, I have also made this three times already! It is absolutely DELICIOUS and so so easy. I'm a vegan, so I omit the cheese and use homemade vegan ranch (the recipe can be found here: http://veganfoodaddict.wordpress.com/2011/07/09/beer-battered-tofu-sticks-with-ranch-dressing/) and it is so satisfying and delicious. Definitely cured my fried buffalo sandwich cravings. Will be making this again soon!
Well, I got this recipe a few weeks ago and have already made it 3 times!! That's how good it is!! It is easy, healthy, and delicious!! What more is there?! Serve it with some sweet potato fries and you have quite the easy and yummy dinner! Thanks for the great recipe!

Most interesting, Kitty. I think it may be climate...they do not do
well nor live too long here in full sun. They will get 40 feet tall,
even as understory trees. I think they're considered "small" trees
as opposed to an oak or a tulip poplar or any of the other really
large forest trees...not because they're necessarily tiny:-)

There's less than a week left until Valentine's Day! It can be a really corny holiday but hey, there's never anything wrong with chocolate and gifts (even if they're gifts from yourself). The past few recipes I've posted lately are perfect Valentine's Day treats but I've also posted a few recipes in the past that would make your special someone very happy. Unfortunately my boyfriend won't be home for Valentine's Day (we already celebrated) but with all these desserts I've made recently, it's been V-day everyday. Do you have any fun plans?

For this couple, we've decided on making either the Chocolate Chip Pizza Cookies or the Chocolate Souffles. Our plans aren't usually extravagant, we like to pick a place special to us. We reserve our fancy dinner out for our anniversary instead!
Can't go wrong with either of those recipes! That's a good idea – that way you don't have to deal with the Valentine's fancy restaurant crowds. Enjoy the holiday at your special place 🙂
When selecting the link for red velvet whoopie pies I get a Error 404 – Not Found.
Thanks for pointing that out! It was a typo – should be fixed now 🙂
I also get an error message from the white chocolate raspberry pie!

Lord Whitty, the Roads Minister, said the announcement of firm dates allowed the Government to "clarify matters". The schemes were originally listed in the summer roads review. He added: "This is a realistic, achievable programme which we are committed to taking forward, and which reflects our new integrated approach to transport."
Roger Higman, transport spokesman for the environmental group Friends of the Earth, said road building was an "expensive, destructive and, ultimately, self-defeating way of dealing with traffic problems". He added: "Instead of wasting money, the Government should invest in traffic management, bus priority and cycle schemes, which provide far more relief for far less money."
Lynn Sloman, of the Transport 2000 campaign group, saidthe most unpopular schemes included the Bingley relief road in West Yorkshire, the A27 Polegate bypass in East Sussex and the A120 Stansted-to-Braintree road in Essex.
Yesterday, bailiffs continued efforts to dislodge protesters from a network of tunnels - near the village of Weeford, Staffordshire - under the proposed route of the Birmingham Northern Relief Road, a planned 27- mile toll road that offers an alternative route to the M6. Bailiffs brought one protester out of a tunnel yesterday. But up to 10 more were still believed to be underground.

Moviegoers preferred aliens over fairy tales in a big way Friday (March 11) as "Battle: Los Angeles" racked up a pretty strong opening day at the box office.
The alien-invasion movie took in $13.5 million in its first day, according to studio estimates. That's a little bit ahead of what forecasters were predicting and puts it on pace for a $35 million-plus opening weekend.
"Battle: LA" also beat the combined take for Friday's second- and third-place finishers. "Rango" and "Red Riding Hood." "Rango," last week's No. 1 movie, took in about $5.5 million, while depending on whose estimates you believe, the horror-tinged version of "Red Riding Hood" made either $5 million or $5.7 million. In either case, it's only a so-so start.
"The Adjustment Bureau" came in fourth with an estimated $3.4 million. "Mars Needs Moms" opened in fifth, but it's already earning "bomb" status from most box-office watchers. The animated movie made just $1.8 million on Friday — and considering it cost a reported $150 million to make, that's a pretty scant return.

what I'm thinking and doing § what I'm listening to § what I'm reading
what I'm writing § retrospective: The Phonosnout
The weather has been up and down. We've have a couple very autumnal days and I finally had to give up and start wearing socks again and put away my sandals, though today was sunny and warm again. I got up at nine, but after I ate breakfast I fell asleep on the chesterfield in the sun. Me and the cats, sounds asleep. Till noon. I'm a little embarrassed.
So I got my story finished before our workshop's deadline. Just by a couple of hours, but still I turned it in before the deadline Friday night. Since then I've been kind of relaxing. It has been such a hectic time since I went back to work between finishing/writing the poetry manuscript, doing the Canada Council grant, and then this story. And to top it off, this was the first week of classes, and so work was incredibly busy, especially in the early part of the week. Monday I worked three hours overtime (not hard when you only work five hours a day, but still).
A co-worker and I took one of those hours later in the week and went out for a quiet lunch, which was wonderful--I really enjoy her company and we needed the quiet time and talked very little about work--but since then my stomach has been in rough shape. That's three days now, so I think it has to have been food poisoning. I need to be really careful what I eat right now or I have stomach problems again, and it's so annoying, especially as my favourite apples in the world are in season, Honey Crisps. I bought a dozen and a half, because there's only one store that I know of that carries them and they usually sell out really quickly. I'm sure if I go back next week they won't have any left (I've already haunted the store weekly waiting for them to come in). Anyway, I really really want to eat one of those apples, but I think my stomach won't like it. Damn.
Warning: long boring rant about work ahead. You might want to skip the next three paragraphs.
In other news at work, I took on the advising for a new certificate program in real estate, so now I'm working with three programs. This may be temporary or may not. I'm happy to add it, in that I would prefer to be doing more student advising and I've made clear to the people running it that I don't have time to help them with administration. The bad news is that it is causing extremely bad feelings with the director of one of the other programs I've been working for. I utterly disagree with her reasons for being upset, and so it has caused a lot of friction between us. This has been unpleasant. And she wants me to do more program administration for her program.
I'm glad that they seem to understand that I can't do administration for yet a third program. I know that I simply can't handle doing any more--that kind of work makes my head hurt and I can only keep enough brain space for juggling two sets of that kind of thing, budgets and negotiating and all, I mean. But I'm happy to help guide more students through the complications of doing a degree and a certificate program on top of that. There shouldn't be a big learning curve at all. I hope.
Overall, I really would like to get out of the administration side and into advising more. I'm burned out on administration after having so many years of directors who haven't been able to put much time and attention into the programs for various reasons, mostly to do with other commitments. I'm only paid as an office worker and I've been doing assistant director type work for years. I don't want to get a promotion to assistant director as I don't want even more administrative work heaped on me. I also don't want to leave the union, especially with huge budget cuts going to happen next year. It's going to be really nasty, with possibilities of programs, maybe even colleges being cut. I'm trying not to get nervous.
In good employment news, though, after several years--too many years--of uncertainty about the company Jim works for, they got bought out yet again, but this time by a company that actually does aerospace work and understands what they're doing. They don't have plans to move the company or anything, so it looks like things will be stable for him for the first time in years. This is a huge relief, as it feels like it has been going on forever. And not only that, but they get to call themselves a rocket company again, so Jim is again officially a rocket man. Check out http://www.rocket.com. I bet they are so glad they hung onto the rocket.com domain name!
Well, happy autumn. May the leaves be bright and beautiful.
Jim has been obsessing a little on Peter Gabriel's new album, Up, which I bought last week. I think it's his best in a long, long time, and I'm not even talking about the fact that it's his first in a long time--it's my favourite since his third. I haven't bothered with most of them since then.
And I have an idea and a couple of sentences for another new short story.
And one of my ambitions for the next week is to get some poems out to the annual CBC contest. Usually I don't have enough eligible work that hangs together (they want a good-sized group of poems, none of which can have been previously published), but with the work I did on re/inventory I not only have enough poems, but they hang together! Whoo hoo! Luckily, they extended the deadline to the end of this month. I also would like to get a couple of other poetry submissions out into the mail, which will probably entail some revisions of some of the Scotland poems.
Why I don't know what has fallen:
the cat's back hides it from me.
She has run from her sleeping place
to catch it and waits there,
having caught it or not. And
licks her leg, settles and sleeps there.
The rooms are quiet--inside the only
sound is the thick popping of the gas heat, [1]
my pen rasping against the paper.
Even the traffic outside is quiet
and my husband sleeps. Or begins
to. Strange dreams. What comes out
is out and something enters in.
What a miracle each day becomes
when the sun rises after us. Like
a hiker belatedly reaching the crest of the pass
and rising beyond us, a true ascension.
Find this here. This.
Travelling down by the shores
of Amado, he finds a bottle
note, it says: Find this here.
This. [2]
Mom's card with the seven robins on it.
Bryer stretches and my eyes are beginning
to need to close, but I won't let them. Yet.
Bryer's returned.

A simple journey from coast to coast
in the year's rain and fog carrying the islands
off into another, protected world. It isn't
night that makes it seem like this;
night in winter, in the gentle
climate shadowed by ranges.
I picture myself there on the island
mist settling on my clothes and hair,
the trees curling in around me. Cedar,
arbutus, hemlock, the island trees in
this night. I watch the ship's lights
pass in the distance, trees breaking
its message into code. This story
leads nowhere. I can't see myself
from the island or the ship. I don't
meet myself there. I'm simply there,
twice at once and I turn to you,
saying This is more than enough.
This is plenty. [3]

I am learning to believe in the unexpected
like my friend whose landlady's name was
Aphrodite and who almost ran away with
a tinker because he was one. I believe
the words my husband stumbles over in his sleep
because I can barely make them out
and they must be true. Last night I
dreamt of finding myself in islands
of mist, and today the fog has descended,
thickly, over this town, stirred by the mountains.
I don't want to wish for anything
dangerous now. It's almost the dark
of the year and because we say it, it's true.
We say this will be a bad winter
so its anger is a just retribution.
We say we love so that we will. We
have done nothing to deserve this. My body
can barely hold itself in. [6]
2. Nothing came of the first exercise but the second part landed in the title poem of Spells for Clear Vision.
3. The last two lines also wound up in that poem.
4. By Diana Wynne Jones. Still one of my favourite novels.
5. A poetry collection. While I like this one, I far prefer Too Bright to See and Chosen by The Lion.
6. Parts of this are in "Spells for Clear Vision", too.
7. At one point Jim and I applied for a doctoral program at the U of Utah.
