Ok, I am not sure if this is a bug or something in my coding I am doing totally wrong, but after 3 days on this issue in my app I am at wits end. 
It is probably something I am overlooking, but I am not sure so here goes…
The issue at hand is when I run the scene, everything loads perfectly fine. However, when i scroll through the tableView that is created, when it reaches the bottom entry, that entry duplicates for the amount of total entries, then when I scroll back up it is the only entry filling the entire table. Also, for some reason my separator line only appears every 2 entries in the simulator. The line however does work fine on the device. Screen Shots are attached - SS1 is the initial loading of the scene - everything is as it should be. SS2 is where the list should end - the MAR 15th entry is the last entry in the XML File. SS3 is after you scroll to the bottom of the tableView, for some reason it has taken the last entry and multiplied it by the number of rows and inserted it. SS4 is after scrolling back to the top of the tableView, and now all my rows have been replaced with that last row of data. another thing to note when i click on the row and it moves to the view page, from SS1 it pulls the data from the row and displays it, from SS4 it now pulls the data from that last row, which is how i figured out it was actually replacing the row with the last data entry in the table generated from the XML file.
Here is the code for the scene I am having issues with…

local widget = require( “widget” )
local storyboard = require( “storyboard” )
local scene = storyboard.newScene()

–
– Code outside of listener functions (below) will only be executed once,
– unless storyboard.removeScene() is called.

– local forward references should go here –
– create a constant for the left spacing of the row content
function makeTimeStamp(dateString)

local pattern = “(%d+)%-(%d+)%-(%d+)%a(%d+)% :(%d+)% :([%d%.])”
eYear, eMonth, eDay, eHour, eMinute, eSeconds = dateString:match(pattern)
end

Yes, I know I have some other things to clean up in this, but right now this data feed issue is my main problem. Also, hopefully once this is all done and working I’ll be able to separate out this whole function and create a plugin - What this does is takes an XML download from bandsintown and load tour dates into the tableview - then when you click on the date it will open a page with venue and ticket info as well as a map and other event info from the data pulled. I don’t know if any of you out there are working on any business type apps and might find this useful or not 
Thanks in advance for any help or pointing in the right direction with this
