Chapter 1
Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,
To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanksgiving and Prayer
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,
always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy,
because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.
For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.
And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment,
so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
The Advance of the Gospel
I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,
so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ.
And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will.
The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.
The former proclaim Christ out of rivalry, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment.
What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.
To Live Is Christ
Yes, and I will rejoice,
for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance,
as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell.
I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.
But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.
Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,
so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.
Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel,
and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God.
For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake,
engaged in the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.

Not cakes or desserts or sweet things. Have you seen that commercial for the burger that uses grilled cheese as a bun? That's so something I would do. Fat kid city over here. Sometimes.
Wednesday, July 14, 2010
Let's talk about something different for a minute
Not cakes or desserts or sweet things. Have you seen that commercial for the burger that uses grilled cheese as a bun? That's so something I would do. Fat kid city over here. Sometimes.
Anyway, you know that breakfast thing, egg-in-a-hole? Where you punch a hole in a piece of toast and cook an egg in it? That's cool and all, but how about instead of boring old toast, you use a grilled cheese sandwich? That way, you get cheese in your egg-in-a-hole, since eggs and cheese are, let's face it, meant to be together. This is SO AWESOME. I used Udi's bread, since it's the only GF bread I've found that makes delicious, regular tasting grilled cheese. Use cheese of your choice, I used American (which I do not like at all) because that's what they accidentally gave me at the deli when I asked for cheddar. At least it works in grilled cheese.
Grilled cheese egg-in-a-hole
2 slices bread (if you keep bread in the freezer like I do, let it thaw first)
2 slices cheese - American, cheddar, mozzerella, Gouda, go nuts
1 egg
salt and pepper
Butter one side of each slice of bread. Heat up a small grilled cheese making pan, and put one slice of bread, butter side down, in the pan. Place the cheese on top, then the second slice of bread on top, butter side up. Cover the pan (for maximum cheese meltability) and cook for about 3 minutes over medium heat, until the bread is just starting to be crispy brown. Flip and cook on the other side for 3 more minutes, uncovered (for maximum crispiness). Remove your sandwich from the pan and punch a hole in it with a cookie cutter, or some sort of round thing like a cup. Remove the circle of sandwich and set aside. Put your sandwich with the hole back in the pan and turn the heat back on to medium low. Break your egg into the middle, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cover. Cook about 5 minutes, until the white is set. Remove the egg-hole-sandwich to a plate, and eat, along with the sandwich circle you removed earlier. If your yolk is runny, like I like, you can dip your sandwich circle into the runny egg yolk.

this is making my mouth water! i will have to try this tonight for sure!!
Does anyone have any suggestions on gluten free bread that isn't made with potato starch? I have a nightshade allergy so I have to stay away from potatoes and udi's bread has potato starch in it :(
the only bread i've found so far is a brown rice bread that trader joe's carries and EnerG breads, but both of them are tiny loaves so cutting a hole in the center for my egg would mean taking out most of the center and leaving mostly crust. Any suggestions?

It also added insult to injury that I had to buy the two gigantic ones just to get the smallest size which were still too big, haha

The real benefit with an unlocked phone is not having to startup a new contract just because you want another phone. If you're already paying for the smart phone plan, you should be able to pick up whatever phone you want as long as it works with that network. Freeing the device from the carrier would probably be one of the best things for the market and for customers as it promotes consumer freedom and market innovation, competition, and hopefully standards.

Posted on 03/17/2012 11:37:59 AM PDT by Sokol
I am looking for the name of a writer (deceased) who wrote about his personal journey with AA (Alcoholics Anonymous). I think he was from New York and may have been a priest. He only died within the past 5-8 years - I think. He was not anti-AA, but disagreed with many of the teachings such as ALWAYS being an alcoholic. If you know of the writer, please let me know.
I have never met an alcoholic who wants to keep drinking, who didn't disbelieve that alcoholics are ALWAYS alcoholics. They soon relapse and end up right back in the old hole they dug and climbed out...Alcoholics are born, not made.
At any rate - if you have more info, I have minds I can tap.
Bill - no last name.
Father Martin was a priest who spoke on alcoholism and was a strong supporter of AA.
Could it be?
Fr. Ralph Pfau, aka Fr. John Doe
Author of "Sobriety Without End" and "Sobriety and Beyond"
Ed Dowling?
Was it Father Mychal Judge, the priest who died in the Twin Towers? I don't know if he wrote any books but books have been written about him.
"AA"! Is that Alcoholics Anonymous, African-American, Anti-Aircraft, people with small feet, women who are built like boys, or perhaps a book about batteries?
Could it be Jerry Dunn? "God is for the Alcoholic"
Too funny. For those who are real alcoholics they will guaran-damn-tee you that once a drunk always a drunk. You can try and dodge it all you want. We watch many people die doing so
WHOA for you. I am trailing you a bit-—15 and a half and counting. This plan for living is one that I am ever so grateful to have
You lack an understanding of AA. The whole point of the program and the book is to help one find a power greater than themselves.... a spiritual awakening if you will,,,, that will get and keep them sober. Perhaps your father was not ready to do the things asked of him before he joined the church. All of us who get sober find God in order to get and stay sober and live happy and meaningful lives
17 yrs and 51 weeks here. Keep up the good work. Gets a whole lot easier though once you've got a couple years behind you.
14 years coming up in one week.
Many, many blessings, one of the most precious being my grandchildren having never seen me drunk.
I have always wondered why Alcoholics Anonymous uses the term "recovering alcoholic" when they don't believe an alcoholic can recover.
It could also be Associate of Arts, a two-year college degree.
Ain't that the truth. Looking back I can not believe I stayed sober those first two years....now almost 16 yrs sober and it still amazes me. So glad I was given the gift of desperation....
Actually we use the term recovered....as in we have recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body. What we believe is that we cannot be CURED. There is a big difference.
Because we are always in the process of recovery. It takes the rest of your life with diligence and commitment to stay sober.
Twenty three and half years without a drink because of AA.
When I started drinking it was not a moment that I wasn't thinking about drinking. Now I can days - even weeks without actually thinking about it.
42 years last April 28th but whose counting Good job on all of you
Ah, yes. Well, some of us have tried to hold on to our old ideas, but the result was nil until we let go absolutely. Sadly, I've seen way too many find reasons to opt out and seek an easier, softer way. It rarely ends well, which is one reason I've kept coming back for 39 years. Had a great meeting this morning. The fellowship is even better than FR. This day-at-a-time is looking good, (but I wish the Zags were doing better against OSU)
16 and a half hours here.
(one day at a time)
We all started at one minute For most of us it is still a daily struggle
"He went to a Catholic church, but traditional & dead church"
What does "traditional & dead church" mean?
Were you looking for one less "traditional" than than the one Christ began?
Or, perhaps more "modern and entertaining"?
Congratulations to all. I'm so inspired by all of you!
16 and a half hours here.
(one day at a time)
At first I was kind of miffed at your comment. Then I got it. Cheers to you.
"people with small feet,"
I attend an Evangelical Church today where I learn God's word, how God told us to live, and where His word in alive in word and deed. No, I too do not care for churches looking to tickle your ears, I want my soul to be fed.
Sorry if I offended you. I'll be more careful with my wording.
AA is a very small shoe size.
Many people have said (and I sometimes agree) that I am not so much an example of sobriety, but a warning to others on how not to do it.
Early on I bent,broke, or ignored every suggestion in the big book.
I now have three 'X's on my chip. I consider it triple x sobriety. In all these years I have learned one lesson, and one lesson only;
"Don't drink and go to meetings"
When people ask me;
"How long have you been sober ?"
My usual reply is;
"All day"
Had an uncle who was an organized alcoholic. He got two weeks vacation every year. Never drank one bit until he started a vacation, then retired to the bedroom where he stayed and got rip-roaring drunk for the two weeks. He sobered up on the Friday before work, and when he went back never touched a drop until his next vacation. Damnest thing I ever saw.
Your probably right. He just never took God serious until he went to this church. I do know people who went to AA remained sober. My mom,my sister and I went to Alanon. Nice people.
I witnessed first hand how hard it is to fight your way to the top. The most compassion people I know are recovering alcoholic. My dad was there anytime day or night when someone needed him. He gave so much, yet he always said he got much more than he gave.
42 1/2 years, by the grace of God. Who would have thought?
A big congratulations! Your right, by the grace of God.
I reply "no thanks, I've already had enough to drink" sometimes when offered a drink or a glass of wine.
15 is a great number. One old timer likes to collect statistics and he said that 95% of the folks who make 5 years and stay active in AA never drink again.
Depending on who is doing the offering, one of my favorites is, "No thanks...I'm allergic. When I drink alcohol I break out in the strangest places...Chicago...Boston...Florida..."
Yup and you got em in the right order. ;)
Alanon, our sister organization, has much to teach those who will listen
That is a believable number. I have noticed that of the folks who started when I did only a few of us made it to the first year, fewer still to the five year mark, and even less to 15. But those who stay sure develop tight bonds and are very protective of each other. They aren't necessarily my 'friends' but there isn't a one of them who wants to see me go get drunk.... and they are willing to help me stay sober.

1 My song forever shall record
the tender mercies of the Lord;
thy faithfulness will I proclaim,
and ev'ry age shall know thy name.
I sing of mercies that endure
forever builded firm and sure.
2 Almighty God, thy lofty throne
has justice for its cornerstone,
and shining bright before thy face
are truth and love and boundless grace.
The heav'ns shall join in glad accord
to praise thee for thy words, O Lord.
3 The swelling sea obeys thy will;
its angry waves thy voice can still;
the heav'ns and earth by right divine,
the world and all therein is thene;
the whole creation's wondous frame
proclaims its Maker's glorious name.
4 With blessing is that nation crowned
whose people know the joyful sound;
they in the light, O Lord, shall live--
the light thy face and favor give.
There fame and might to thee belong,
for in thy favor they are strong.

Suicide Attack in Kabul Spoils Ashura
Bombing sends shock waves in Kabul's Shia community.
A suicide bomber attacked a Shia Muslim shrine in Kabul yesterday killing at least 48 people in unprecedented sectarian violence.
Doctors and police struggled to count the dead from one of the bloodiest attacks in the Afghan capital since the fall of the Taliban government in 2001. The blast occurred as a crowd of hundreds gathered for the festival of Ashura. More than 100 were injured.
It was a potent reminder of Afghanistan's troubles the day after its Western allies gathered at an international conference to pledge long-term support, even after their combat troops leave at the end of 2014. "This is the first time on such an important religious day in Afghanistan that terrorism of that horrible nature is taking place," Afghan President Hamid Karzai said in Germany, where the conference on Afghanistan's future was held.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack and Taliban spokesmen could not be reached for comment.
Shortly after the Kabul blast, a bicycle bomb exploded near the main mosque in northern Mazar-i-Sharif city, killing four and injuring 17 others. The city's streets were filled with people celebrating Ashura, but it was not clear if that attack was targetting Shia worshippers.
A motorbike bomb in southern Kandahar city also injured three civilians, but it had not been placed near any mosques or shrines, and appeared unrelated to the Kabul attacks.

Freddy Krueger/Robert Freddy Krueger is alive and well and raising hell one more time in "Wes Craven's New Nightmare," an ingeniously conceived and devilishly clever opus that proves "Freddy's Dead -- The Final Nightmare" wasn't so aptly named after all. Franchise creator Craven returns to the scene of the crime with an amusingly self-referential thriller that promises to scare up a B.O. bonanza, and maybe even earn some admiring reviews.
Freddy Krueger/Robert Freddy Krueger is alive and well and raising hell one more time in "Wes Craven's New Nightmare," an ingeniously conceived and devilishly clever opus that proves "Freddy's Dead — The Final Nightmare" wasn't so aptly named after all. Franchise creator Craven returns to the scene of the crime with an amusingly self-referential thriller that promises to scare up a B.O. bonanza, and maybe even earn some admiring reviews.
Craven's audacious conceit is that his first "Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984) and the five sequels directed by others were works of fiction that inadvertently summoned, and briefly contained, a real supernaturally evil force. Unfortunately , after the sharp-fingered bogeyman Krueger was decisively killed in the series finale, the evil force was freed to wreak havoc — while still in the form of Freddy — on an unsuspecting world. For that reason, Craven explains while playing himself in the pic's most darkly comical sequence, he simply must make another "Nightmare" pic. What springs from this fanciful premise is an inspired scramble of "reality" and role-playing that would impress Pirandello himself. Gore hounds and other seekers of cheap thrills may be disappointed by Craven's wise decision to tone down the carnage here. But just about everyone else will have a great time with the in-jokes and cross-references. Better still, "New Nightmare" is a self-contained work that can be enjoyed by auds unfamiliar with the earlier pix. It should provide a wild roller-coaster ride for anyone game enough to get on board. Heather Langenkamp, star of the first "Nightmare," returns to star as Heather Langenkamp, an actress who has a devoted cult following for her performance in "Nightmare on Elm Street." She's still on good terms with her "Nightmare" co-stars (including Robert Englund and John Saxon, also cast as themselves). But she's extremely reluctant to appear in a brand-new "Nightmare" sequel, despite lucrative offers made by real-life New Line Cinema exec Robert Shaye and producer Sara Risher. Unfortunately, even though she wants no part of another Freddy pic, Freddy just won't stay out of her life. And her dreams. First, the bogeyman disposes of her special-f/x artist husband (David Newsom). Then Freddy sets his sights on Langenkamp's little boy, Dylan (Miko Hughes), whose worst fears about a monster lurking beneath his bed are entirely justified. When Langenkamp seeks help from Craven, the writer/director admits that the "real" horrors are exactly likethose he has glimpsed in his own nightmares. THat's the bad news. The worse news is, Craven is transforming those nightmares into a new script. And the work-in-progress doesn't look like it's building to a happy ending. When he isn't playing fast and loose with what's real and what isn't, Craven drops a few intriguing hints that he had mixed feelings about the influence of his and other people's horror pix. The stern-faced doctor (Fran Bennett) who diagnoses Langenkamp's seizure-prone child speaks disapprovingly of the ways violent horror pix can harm impressionable kids. On the other hand, the name Craven gives the doctor — Heffner, a clear reference to the former MPAA ratings board chief — may be taken as a satirical jab at such criticism. In the end , it's clear that Craven views his grisly art as no more dangerous for children than fairy tales, a point he hammers home with verbal and visual references to "Hansel and Gretel." As Langenkamp herself notes, "Every child knows who Freddy is. He's like Santa Claus." Englund once again is in bravura form as Freddy, playing the flame-scarred, blade-fingered creep as much for nasty laughs as unnerving shocks. He has far less screen time as himself, buthe's very effective in that role, too. Langenkamp proves she is still one of cinema's most resourceful scream queens here. Newcomer Hughes is adept at maneuvering through Dylan's bizarre personality swings. It is more than mildly unsettling, however, to see this small child stick a sharp blade into Freddy's back during the inevitable Armageddon that climaxes "New Nightmare." This will only provide fresh ammunition for those who would brand Craven and other horrormeisters as irresponsible. "New Nightmare" works best when it takes a straight-faced but gleefully fang-in-cheek approach to genre conventions. Surprisingly, it is least distinctive during what is normally the high point of a "Nightmare" pic, the fiery good-vs.-evil climax. This sort of thing has been done too many times already, both in the "Nightmare" series and the "Hellraiser" pix, to have the effect it once had. The special effects team supervised by William Mesa perform far beyond the call of duty. Advances in computer-generated imagery and assorted other innovations make "New Nightmare" far more dazzling — and, at times, even scarier — than the 10-year-old original. Other tech credits are solid. Don't be too surprised if "Wes Craven's Newer Nightmare" goes into production real soon. But it will have a tough act to follow.This Freddy Set in Craven Image; Toronto

We turned to certified animal behavior consultant and host of nationally syndicated Steve Dale's Pet World and The Pet Minute Steve Dale to get some tips on how to make the most out of apartment life for your pup. He's partnered with the new social renting site RentSocial and knows a thing or two about keeping your dog happy long after the move-in date.
Here are Steve Dale's tips on how to help your dog become better suited to city living:
Socializing your dog for city living and all the sights and sounds that come with it is essential to having a well-adjusted pup. Take him to busy street corners and to common areas in your building so he can learn about his environment a little at a time. RentSocial and Steve Dale also suggest a few elevator runs: "If your building has an elevator, take your pet in and out several times during off-peak hours in order to get them comfortable with using it." Showing him that all these things are just normal parts of his life will put him at ease with his surroundings.
Dog owners always seem to find each other, so if you're in a building with other dogs, get ready to introduce yourself. You can then build a group that goes on outings to the park together and create a close-knit bevy of owners and their dogs. RentSocial and Steve Dale also say that "fellow pet owners can be a great resource — they will be able to recommend nearby parks, a veterinarian or pet walker/sitter they trust. Their advice will make the transition to a new home easier." Trustworthy neighbors may also come in handy when you're away from home and need someone to look in on your pup. Don't forget to repay the favor!
Keep your dog mentally sharp by hiding treats in various places around your home before leaving for the day. You can also introduce new toys into your dog's environment to keep him stimulated. If your dog loves to sniff everything in sight, leave some new scents on everyday items in your apartment such as lavender on his bed or a clean cloth that's been rubbed on a neighbor's pet. Your pup will enjoy discovering these new smells.
While small dogs are believed by many to be better city dwellers, big dogs tend to be calmer indoors, are less likely to bark at the neighbors and can ward off intruders. The key here is to exercise all size dogs, so seek out an apartment with easy access to a park or less busy streets. Keep your pup on a leash at all times to keep him safe!
RentSocial is a new way to search for apartments online and helps you find your dream apartment through innovative features such as verified resident reviews, ratings and more.
Steve Dale is the author of the twice weekly syndicated newspaper column "My Pet World" and is a certified Animal Behavior Consultant (International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants). Steve also serves on the board of the American Humane Association and has appeared as a guest on many local and national television and radio programs.

The (UK) Institute of Economic Affairs has published The Collected Works of Arthur Seldon in good time. The great man died at the end of last year and his memorial service was as recent as this January. He was obituarised by many; almost all, like Simon Heffer in glowing terms, no matter what side of the political fence the commentator sits on.
Seldon was a very influential man until his dying day. He was known for his forthright opinions, predictive abilities and annoying habit of getting things right many years before anyone else caught on. His easygoing writing style makes normally turgid subjects readable and easy to comprehend.
This collection is seven volumes long and includes the ever-useful Everyman Dictionary of Economic and his treatise on Capitalism The Virtues of Capitalism.
The collected works are probably not best read back-to-back as it all can get a bit overwhelming at times. However, this collection is a wonderful examination of the economic history of both the UK and the world.
The books are available both individually and as a set of seven and they are definitely required reading for any student of economics or those interested in the subject.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2004
The team that hit with 12 Angry Men returns with another American classic...
Original Review:
It was a difficult birth, thanks to the director quitting and the curse of the pox, but the biggest show on the Fringe did, finally, open. And what an impressive treat One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest proves to be.
Christian Slater was the one making the headlines, of course, as the Hollywood star parachuted in to boost the box office, if not here but at the ensuing West End run. And whatever the off-stage drama, he makes for a spirited, compelling Randle P McMurphy, the hollerin', yahooin' rebel who tries to shake up the arid, soulless atmosphere of the lunatic asylum he is committed to.
Slater has so often been compared to Jack Nicholson that it's a bold move to step into his straitjacket so deliberately. But his McMurphy is no carbon copy of Nicholson's brilliant film portrayal, even if the same spirit and energy is there.
What comes as even more of a surprise is that for all Slater's fame, and the extravagant, showmanlike nature of his role, he doesn't steal the show. This is a genuine team game and each of the ensemble cast, most of whom are comics, rises to the challenge their diverse roles bring.
Mackenzie Crook, no small name himself, excels as the shy, stammering Billy Bibbitt, bringing out his social and sexual repression with sparse emotion but detailed performance.
Of the other inmates, all deserve praise for their flawless work, but there are too many to mention. Phil Nichol, for one, is almost unrecognisable as the painfully shy buttoned-down simpleton while Ian Coppinger brings an impish cheek to Martini, the hallucinator in a flying helmet.
Brendan Dempsey perfectly captures the crushed pride of Chief Bromden, while Owen O'Neill's Harding seems the most outwardly sane inante, but he too brings a subtlety to the role, especially when Nurse Ratched's sadistic, prying questioning leaves him a broken man.
Ratched runs the ward with a rod of iron, the ultimate authority figure unbending in her adhesion to the rules and ruthless in her determination to cling to her status Frances Barber depicts Ratched as emotionally void, callously manipulating the lives of her patients simply because she can, even though it seems to bring her no pleasure.
The irony is that the patients are complicit in their own oppression. "It's for your own good" is the mantra, and they all believe it.
Although Dale Wasserman's script, and Ken Kesey's original novel, is clearly an attack on the dehumanising way mental patients are treated, the asylum as a metaphor for wider society is impossible to miss.
RP McMurphy is the free spirit, kicking out against tyranny despite the apathy of his fellow citizens. He is an irresistible force who tries to shift an immovable object, an analogy that's made literal. And even though he failed, the achievement's in the trying.
Inexorably, he and Ratched move towards a showdown. And it's when they do finally square up that the slightest of cracks start to show up in the otherwise compelling production.
When Ratched erupts with falsely indignant fury to goad McMurphy into desperate retaliation, the natural realism seems to evaporate. Barber is too obviously giving a shouty performance rather that drawing on the spite in her character's black heart
Similarly the tragic final moments of the two-hour piece fail to reach the emotional intensity they should after such a rollercoaster ride: the inevitability of McMurphy's fate seeming just another episode in asylum life, rather than the tearful climax it should have been.
But this slight disappointment in the dying minutes does not detract from the brilliance of the work in bringing such weighty but entertaining piece to vivid life. Its Assembly Rooms run sold out on anticipation, but it will continue to thrive beyond the Fringe because it delivers on that promise.

art and artiface and a learning curve
if you haven't gone already - be sure and check out shari's post on ship of fools . i want to sit and finish this book so badly - but i can't.... sigh
so i didn't get full blown sick, but i have a lovely hacking cough. everything always goes right to my chest.... not what you wanted to know about huh? at least i have a decent amount of energy and don't feel ill....
the title of this post you ask? well.... liesl asked me how i felt about the whole drawing a day experience. how my drawings had changed or what i might have learned. it's hard to verbalize the experience. it became such a part of my daily routine and i have really noticed NOT making the drawings the last 2 weeks. NOT thinking about what color was coming up next... what i feel most grateful for was that it afforded me the opportunity to experiment in a way that i don't normally feel comfortable doing in the studio. i took risks with imagery and ideas. i left things alone. i left my mistakes - i left a lot of empty space - i put down the first or the last thought that popped into my head. i didn't over think things.
in terms of my other work i think it made me open up my visual vocabulary. it definitely sparked the doily installations and the bed/chair drawings. drawing {almost} every day made me realize that as an artist my biggest desire is to work everyday. that i wish i could somehow have the luxury of more time to dedicate to my studio. that discipline can be a big part of your practice.... and hightly motivating. meaning when you really force yourself to do something - even if you are tired, even if it doesn't come out well - you sort of stay on track. i was able to get into studio mode much quicker when i did a full day to be there. that in a way you CAN think of artists like athletes [oh mr. barney] and that the drawing a day was my training.
i am definitely going to figure out another project to do - but i don't think it will be daily. maybe weekly? because the other thing i learned was that as much as i enjoyed doing this - it's nice to have that little bit of time back... i can use it for other things!
i also have been thinking a lot about contemporary art and conceptualism. this was sparked 1. by the panel i was on thurs. evening. and 2. by the BFA critique i went to at school yesterday. thurs night we talked about how in current art practices conceptualism to some degree is key. how we all in essence want a piece of art to MEAN something. two artists on the panel do work that is performative in nature so what we SEE is a residue or a documentation of the work. a question was raised: is this how we KNOW that you've done the piece? is the piece in the residue or is it in the performance itself or both? can you then "fake" the documentation and would that matter? could you lie about a doing a piece and still get "credit" for it? could that add a layer to the work - enhancing it? can any discipline "fake it" [or is it harder to fake a painting??]
speaking of faking - in the critique a very genuine hard working student is in the throws of a dilemma - he's a painter who loves lucien freud but doesn't think that his work is to that level. [it's not - but it's rare that someone's IS]. what does he do as an aritst who loves painting, but is unsure of painting's relavance in the world? and if he wants to get into to grad school what should he use to apply with? how can he engage in a contemporary art practice that is interesting? so he was working on the idea of the diptych trying to express one thought in two ways - and also with his heritage - as a chinese american - he started bringing in propaganda poster imagery. but the painting that was the best in his studio was one the corner of a mother and daughter. [at least myself and 2 other teachers thought it was the best]. and he didn't like it. he said it was borning and not honest. that's when the discussion really got interesting. boring b/c it looks like other paintings? but it was beautiful and arresting and full of emotion. not honest b/c he didn't take the photo or it wasn't about someone/something that he knew. how to convince him that THAT PAINTING was more true and spoke about his love of paint and narrative in a much more honest way than the other works that were derived from his own photographs or had asian people in it ??? .... and because of that it WASN'T boring. i think he also thought it came too easy - that little painting - as if great work has to be a struggle. sometimes... most definitely, but other times - when you are free and in the moment and it is easy - the best things happen. in a way, though, he's at a great point - confused, biting off more than he can chew... floundering through what it means to be a young artist in the world. i really felt as though if he could wade through this muck - his art would be better for it.
and so.... i guess we all need to keep wading through the muck, huh? sorry for such a long art babble post.... i'll leave you with one photo [anyone know what kind of plant this is??]. i'm going outside... it's 85 degrees and breezy and i want to feel the grass in my toes!

What a GREAT art babble post, loved reading it!! So interesting reading about your student and his work...sometimes its so hard to stand back and be objective about ones work. The art world is so complex, a lot of the time artists think they have to become someone else. I also LOVE LOVE Lucien Freud - a favourite!!!
And of course your drawings - they have given you so much back. Maybe i should think about doing a daily project - this kind of commitment is good..anyway, now im babbling!!! Kisses, Julie - Sat Oct 21, 02:31:00 PM PDT

yes a wonderful art babble post lisa :)
and you know i love to hear your thoughts on drawing a day... glad to hear there will be another project of some kind, hope you are feeling completely better soon xxx - Sat Oct 21, 04:01:00 PM PDT
- Kelly said...
Wow- love this post. It really made me think. Lots of thinking going on in my head lately about, where is art going? Where am I going in art? Oh, this is so exciting. More fodder for thought and digesting. It makes me so happy that this is all going on. More to discover.
And I have to say, just because you suffer for a piece, does not make it good either...this I know all too well, lol. - Sun Oct 22, 06:44:00 AM PDT
- shari said...
wow. i really enjoyed reading your thoughts. juicy stuff. oh and i'm digging your self portrait, too.
i love the whole idea of discipline and what it can bring you...i'm thinking of this as i am longing to return to a consistent yoga practice. thanks for making my brain tick.

beautiful dreamy photo!
and thank you for this great post, I really admire you for having done a drawing a day! And I am so happy to read what it ment for you and what you got out of it. I totally like the idea of the training part, not being to serious about it. I know I am when working in my studio...it needs to be perfect. You certainly inspired me to do something on a regular basis :)
I have no idea what kind of flower is but it looks beautiful! - Sun Oct 22, 01:37:00 PM PDT
i'll add to it - great art babble. i used to deal with these issues on a pretty much daily basis. as an art conservator most interested in contemporary art - what do you save? what is the work of art?? pretty straight forward with a ptg - but installation, video, performance all get a little trickier. and as for your student - i work for a painter - a contemporary of freud - who struggles with all these issues. and he has been at it for over 50 yrs. i am always fascinated by what is "hot" now. and the idea of how history will sift through it all. i look at artnews mags from the 80s and over half the names mean little now. anyway - enough of me. great post!

I continue to be inspired by your drawing a day experience. I am terrible at drawing things on paper. Its a definite obstacle for me, one that I would very much like to work on. Its hard to "see" things in my brain, but not be able to translate them on paper. I realize that the times I came closest to feeling as if I could draw where when I was forced to do it a lot. My husband creates sketches in seconds, with perspective, they look great. You, and he, remind me that I have to work at it, stretch myself, over and over again. Thanks Lisa. Oh, and thanks for the oregano oil!

I like a long arty post - should be more of them I say! I could take a leaf out of your book re: a drawing a day - I'm something far less than disciplined and though I've learnt something about sustained practice in the last 12 months I'm still not so good at it. I don't think many people are. That's what makes your whole project so awesome - the dedication, you know?
I've enjoyed seeing your new pics on flickr once a week. Can't wait to see what you do next.
And oh, that boy you were talking about - I hope this is just the storm that he'll sail after. - Sun Oct 22, 11:56:00 PM PDT

...that plant is a yucca, i believe :) here, they are called palmlily, latin would be yucca aloifolia, belonging to the family of the agaves. they are supposed to be blooming this time of year, so yours is just in time :) what a beautiful bloom btw.
hello, thanks for your 'art babble'. your post leads me to my own experience, that the best things happen when you stop thinking so much and more just do and stop even more thinking how other people perceive what you do. and really it does not have to be a struggle, but really happens easily. The point is to get to this point :) probably that journey is the struggle, not so much the work. - Mon Oct 23, 12:12:00 AM PDT
My not being an artist means that I enjoy your "babbling" because it allows me an opportunity to peek into the thoughts, and the feelings, that are part of the process of making something. THANK YOU for that.
I hope the warm grass on a sunny "Indian summer" day helped you to feel somewhat better. - Mon Oct 23, 04:59:00 AM PDT
- wendy said...
the idea in society that you have to be a struggling artist is so strong and carried down, that I think if something comes easy...that it feels fake. like the art should be hard...love these thoughts. I am on the side of the fence that you don't have to suffer for your art, but that is just me.
love your polaroid...and when I don't do my painting a week...I feel like I am missing something. missing the thought process before the painting...the working out the painting. - Mon Oct 23, 05:37:00 AM PDT

art "babble"...
i think it's
very difficult
to see one's
own strengths-
one's artwork.
it's so difficult
to get past
the self-conscious
the fully
does that
make sense? - Mon Oct 23, 08:04:00 AM PDT

Thanks, Lisa! Very interesting and thoughtful post. And it really would be interesting to see all your drawings together. An interesting opportunity to view the changes and progression. Cool!

climbing up on soapbox. . .
Art must simply be enjoyed, some enjoy work on a more primitive level, others are more cerebral, and yet others are touched visually by art.
The true realization of art is about enjoyment, challenges can be enjoyed, but so can more simplistic means. we do, after all, have to have a very basic understanding in order to reach the more complex ways to create art.
We forget that not all art must be a masterpiece or we intimidate ourselves out of "making" enjoyable work, calling it simplistic or boring. The artist is, after all, portrayed as agonizing and suffering, confused and bitter.
We also can 't measure ourselves by these archetypes, by the avant-garde, or modernist movements. Work is self-discovering, but not necessarily in the literal way. Past movements were a measure of time, place, and reactions to the global environment. We are in a different place, a different time, and a much broader path of art history to understand, learn from, and build upon. To duplicate their standards is a. disservice to their work, something like putting a fingerprint on their paint palette.
We can't measure ourselves against those before us, or we will feel vertigo and forget the challenge.
i do think it is nearly impossible to "find our place" in art without a firm ego. we can daydream and believe we know where we belong, but the reality is much different than the dream. every painting he does tells him where his place in painting is, and he decides which place is most satisfying. eventually a "dishonest" piece will become the dull one, but it's all about the journey.
enough long windedness. i think about this a lot, and am realizing this sort of what am i doing/what should i be doing is agreat excuse to just not do anything but create a fear of failure. - Mon Oct 23, 11:59:00 AM PDT
- abby said...
i hope you are feeling well, lisa...
I don't think that was babble at all-in fact-i found it rather interesting.
I have experienced a somewhat similar experience with writing, sometimes the first words that flow from you are the most human, the most touching, the most beautiful. It can be very hard to leave a work alone-it is often my nature to pick and pick and pick at something until there is nothing good left!
I hope you find a new project to suit you and cannot wait to see what it is! - Mon Oct 23, 12:55:00 PM PDT

The best works always seem to come about "too easily"... too quickly. And then you remember all the long, unsuccessful days in your studio when nothing went right or to plan, all that extra reading, all those sights and thoughts whirling around your head and then you realise it wasn't too easy it all, it was only because you've been living with an idea for so long... chipping away at all the other elements and other concepts that go into a work that the actual execution feels quick by comparison.
Love your stream of conscious words and ideas.
see you, g - Mon Oct 23, 11:52:00 PM PDT

i love your art babble - it's so enjoyable to listen to someone think like that (for me i don't get enough of that in my life)! i'm still in a lot of muck!

- Listoria said...
I think we all need to hear the art babble to make us realize that we are not alone in questioning our motives for art. Writers are told to write what they know from, artists - create what you know. but sometimes what you don't know is more resounding and beautiful than all the "what you know" pieces...it just takes a while to realize this on a personal level (on some level we're all really self conscious about what we create - we wouldn't be in love with our mediums if we didn't!)

julie - of course you'd like freud!! thanks for such kind words. i am only going to encourage a daily practice!
hi sarah... thank you!
kelly - would love to hear more about your art and where you think you are headed.... and oh so true on the suffering bit!
hi shari.... :D thank you. you make me tick - it's an honor to do the same for you!
daphne.... thank you so much. i know how you feel about perfection. it's such a hard thing to let go....
tracy - we are going to have to talk more about this... an art conservator? wow!
blair... i think you are probably better than you think in the drawing arena... it does take practice to feel more comfortable....
hello shell.... thanks so much. it's hard to believe i got thru the year really.... and me too about the student [i think he will sail!]
anne.... a yucca ! i'm so glad to know... it's such a beautiful bloom! i love what you say about the point is to get to this point! so true!
hi pat...thanks... i'm glad i make some sense to someone who claims to be a non=artist :)
wendy - so true about society - i think everyone suffers to some degree. to me it's life that fuels art - all the good and the bad.
gwen... if only i was fully conscious! :)
hi liesl - thanks for asking the question
oh renee... climb up on that soap box all you want! all interesting ideas. i do think, though, that as artists - if you want to enter into a larger discourse you have to be knowledgeable about the past movements. it's like one feeds and grows on another... action - reaction - action again.
abby - oh right - the pick pick syndrome. sigh. sometimes it's nice to have "save as" as an option so that we can have multiple copies of something....
thanks alyssa - getting there....
gracia... oh how i love what you say about the planning and reading. all that time in your head is oh so important.... so true so true
jan.... i think we need muck boots. i'm sure you can find some ultra fashionable ones!
tiffany.... lovely! the search for what we know! i really like that! - Tue Oct 24, 09:47:00 PM PDT
- Marieke said...
Hi Lisa, I wish I could spend all my time working! It annoys me that I have other things to do.
I totally agree with Gracia. Sometimes it comes so easily b/c you forget about all the time spent "inefficiently". - Thu Oct 26, 12:53:00 AM PDT

I'm with poppy, keep on with the art babble, I love it. and the photo of you is lovely.

Shump has the ability to be a better all around Tony Allen. I don't think he would of been that great a investment with recent draft picks Shump and Hardaway Jr all ready on board.
If we don't get Elton Brand, i woulden't mind making a pitch for Dejuan Blair. He'd be a good fit, and the Spurs just wrapped up Tiago Splitter for 4yrs, so could move on from Blair. Also, the Birdman could be a solid fit off the bench for Tyson Chandler.
i think i remember reading the bucks had interest in JR. it's possible the knicks could swap JR for ellis in a sign and trade. otherwise we can't afford him. i think the knicks will split the mmle on brand and pablo and fill the other holes with vet min deals.
just reading now that JR is close to resigning... likely a 3 year deal with a player option for the 3rd year.
knicks are set up to have a boat load of cap space in 2015. lots of good free agents that year too, if they don't sign extensions obviously... from what i remember in the new cba players are less likely to sign extensions because you can get more money by finishing the deal and becoming a free agent, and then resigning with your original team. i could be wrong on this but i think that's what cp3 and dwill did. they got more money by playing out their deals and then resigning, rather than signing extensions in the last year of their deals.
J.R. Smith to re-sign with Knicks. Woody needs to learn when to pull him when he's not in rhythm.
Mood: WOOF!
Thats why I love what the knicks are doing. There going to surround Melo with guys who can shoot from distance(shump,felton,bargs,hardawayjr.Jr smith and maybe devin harris?), and hopefully there will be someone carrying this team on any given night, and maybe a couple of em on any given night if they try and take melo outta the game.
and if it dosen't work with a explosive shooting team, we can blow it up in 2015 an d have cap space galore.
Francisco Garcia is latest rumoured player the knicks showing interest in. Obviously, they are gonna be interested in many players and eventually choose 1or2(they got some exception at 3.1mill and then a vet minimum player or something like that?). So, we've heard Garcia, Matt Barnes, Devin harris, Sebastian Telfair, Elton Brand, Kenyon Martin, Will Bynum, and even Little nates names floating around. It'll be intesting to see what we get. I'm hoping for Devin Harris and Matt Barnes the more i think about it.
barnes would be a great back up 3. gritty, tough defender that hustles, plays hard and can make an open 3.
i think we might lose cope.,, but essentially bargs will be his and novaks' replacement balled into 1.
felton / pablo
shump / jr / hardaway
melo / barnes
bargs / stat
tyson / brand
plus a few other vet min guys (or leslie if he makes the team)
that team is better than last year's team imo. a lot of it is based upon guys staying healthy though. if both stat and bargs are constantly hurt we're gonna be back where we started with melo at the 4 and JR chucking too much.
Apparently it's a 4 year deal. Ugh, 4 years is too much...unless he totally changes his character and playing style, we are going to be seeing the same crap from him the next 4 years. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/ba...icle-1.1389772
Mood: WOOF!

Pitt: 2 Criticisms That Remain The Same
Posted on 10 Mar 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
After their loss to Connecticut today, we are starting to hear the usual talk about Pitt choking in the NCAA tournament and their inability to get to the Final Four. While the loss today was a downer, as it is their third consecutive year losing their first game in the Big East tournament, it isn't reason to think Pitt is going to fail in the NCAA tournament.

Syracuse finally gets back on track
Posted on 3 Feb 2011 by Curt Bell.
After what feels like an eternity, Syracuse finally is back on the winning track, after taking down UConn last night 66-58 in a hostile environment on the road. After losing four games in a row in the Big East, this was a game they absolutely needed to win. There's nothing quite like restoring a team's confidence like a win away from home against one of their biggest rivals. At long last,...

It Wasn't That Bad; No Really
Posted on 12 Sep 2010 by Lutfi Sariahmed.
Washington 41 Syracuse 20 Yes it's an ugly scoreline. Yes Syracuse turned the ball over twice, committed 10 penalties and after about 13 minutes in the 1st quarter, Washington took over. But it's not nearly as bad as it seems. No really I promise. Allow me to explain. Things started off well for the Orange jumping out to a 10-0 lead thanks to Ryan Nassib's 28-yard TD run and a Ross Krautman fie...

TRENDING NOW - Student Loan By State
Atlanta, Georgia -
Student loan debt is at an all-time high and paying back those loans is not easy especially when students first graduate. So here's a look at where students across the nation are being hit hardest.
The project on student debt reports that 71-percent of students had student loans when they finished their undergraduate programs in 2012 and that on average, they are facing $29,400 of debt in both federal and private loans.
And they note, it was an amount that increased by six percent every year from 2008 to 2012.
Even if we only look at the numbers for federal student loans and ignore any private loans students might have, there are some hefty bills for students to pay.
According to Department of Education numbers that were reported on credit.com, students in Washington, D.C., have the highest federal student loan debt after they graduate, with an average bill of $38,151. Students in Georgia take second place with an average of $29,087 in federal student loans and students in Maryland take third at $27,977.
The researchers at the project on student debt also found that the debt burden varies for students, depending on where they live. Students in the northeast and midwest were more likely to have a high levels of student debt and in general, students in states in the southwest and the west had lower levels of debt.
According to that report, students from Texas carry an average of $ 24,030 in federal and private student loans when they graduate.

Turning pages
Currently I am not reading much of anything (which is weird for me). I started a book about a month ago and haven't had the time (or enthusiasm) to get past the second chapter. I even have a few books in my bookshelf begging to be read, but I cant bring myself to begin any of them (Note: maybe reading the Twilight Saga so quickly messed with my head? heehee).
In the last two months I seem to have gone from "loyal book lover" to "magazine whore" *gasp*.
You see, instead of spending time with books I have been seeing magazines - just casually flipping through the pages of many magazines seems so much better than committing to one whole novel right now
I'm sure this "magazines only" phase will pass quickly. I think all I need to do is find an incredible book to read right now.
What are you reading right now?? Whats your favourite book right now? - do tell ..maybe i will feel inspired to go out and get it :)

I just finished "BLOOD RIVER" by Tim Butcher, about the Congo River. I LOVED it.
About to read "CHILD SOLDIER" and "No. 1 Lady's Detective Agency".
Now reading TOO LOUD A SOLITUDE, by a Czech writer. Which is perhaps shorter than any mag article!
The list might look impressive. But it did take me 4 months to create time just to finish the 1st book!- Anonymous27 January 2009 at 15:30
Dude I kept seeing you mention Twilight on your blog so I bought the book for my Dec holiday, read it quickly and thought "geez this is a piece of fluff, wtf I want my money back and how can adults be fans" BUT I just finished New Moon coz I'd already ordered that one from the library, and I really enjoyed it and totally changed my mind! so now I've ordered the third book online and have to wait two whole weeks, arghhhhh.
If you enjoy vampire stories, try Poppy Z Brite, she's quite good, read her a long time ago, wrote a few stories about gay vampires, loved it (like maybe you think hmmm gay vampire guys but she wrote it so appeallingy you wish you were a gay guy and one of them). And of course Anne Rice the master.
to Kitty Cat: don't let the first book stop you from reading the rest of the series, I too was not going to bother had I not already ordered the second book.
Brazen: have you read Raymond E Feist, if not get Magician - the greatest book in the history of the world, you will not be disappointed! I assure you! it is the first book of a magnificent series, and one of the few series I can re-read multiple times. please let me know if you do read it and what you think of it, can do a post on it :)
-Chantal CHANTAL - hi there. Glad you are also enjoying the Twilight Saga (its not for everyone).
"Eclipse" is even better than "New Moon".
The last book, "breaking Dawn", has lots of mixed reviews. I even had mixed feeling about it. Let me know how you find it when you get to that one.
Ps - Thanks for all the recommendations.I'm completely book mad. I'm majoring in English Lit. 'Nuff said. In any case I am a big big fan of the classics. I'm not talking Jane Eyre so much as I speak about Catch-22, Great Gatsby, and Catcher in the Rye. Sometimes by going back we discover how to go forward.
Oh and I totally second reading Feist. He's good and I don't usually read fantasy.Well if you really want a FANTASTIC read - get any of Dan Brown's books. I am completely hooked. He writes things like 'The Da Vinci Code' & 'Angels & Demons'. Also read Kathy Reighs - she's amazing!! She's also the writer of the series 'Bones', the episodes come from her books. STUNNING!!!
ReplyDeleteI love reading. But, college makes reading such a chore. I usually do all my reading in the summer when I'm not required to read essays.
But, currently, I'm reading a book called "Anything Goes". So far, I don't like it. And I doubt I will, so I'm thinking of ditching it and picking up Alice in Wonderland instead!I am hooked on the Twilight series already but go thru phases where I am really into reading books and then magazines seem to take over eventually.
I find that a rainy day with nothing else to do but stay inside with a blanket, cup of tea, coffee or something stronger always makes reading that much more enjoyable!

Forums >Cross Training>squealing brakes on bike
- Anya
The Logic of Long Distance
It's easier to point you to a site than describe it myself. Check out this one: http://www.bikeman.com/content/view/704/115/ Now with clickable action I do something like the matchbook trick described in that link. Kirk
He's pretty close to being right. Except.......DO NOT lube your chain with WD40. WD40 is actually a piss poor lubricant. It will also eventually turn to a thick gunk. It was originally designed to break loose rusted parts and it doesn't work very well for that either. A can of Tri-flow will be fine. It has teflon in it. Try cleaning the brake surface on your rims.......a little time / more use too....sometimes it'll go away. There are much better brake materials today so new brakes may help. A bike shop will charge around $15.00 plus cost of brake shoes to replace but will probably find loose cables, rims out of true, etc......Much like the oil change shops.....always something else. The rubber on the shoes has most likely hardend so I'm guessing new brake shoes. BTW......After reading his response I can see why you divorced him.

DH has like 6 bikes
Team HTFU NCTR Driver
Hullo, he of the 6 bikes here... (and it's 2 roadies, 1 mountain (29er), 1 'cross, 1 old mtb for kid-hauling, and 1 crash-o-matic tandem, with ditch-seeking steering) So, yeah, 13 years old, your brake pads are hard as rocks now, and almost as effective at slowing you down. Go dig your fingernail into the tread on a car tire - your bike's brake pads should only be that firm or a little firmer. You need new ones. Some folks put in new ones every year; that's probably excessive (assuming they haven't worn down too much). I just replaced mine on my good road bike after about 4 years and 10,000+ miles, and the difference was pretty remarkable. Now, some of the stuff your ex said wasn't too bad. You can actually improve a brake pad by filing its surface, and by digging out whatever bits of rock and sand have embedded themselves into the pad itself. As for the rims, they can get some glaze on them, but you shouldn't be more aggressive then lightly sanding them. Rims wear from braking, there's little sense in accelerating that process. Sqealing is indeed caused by vibrations ('cuz that's what sound is, yo). The root cause of such vibrations is hard to trace, though. Take one pair of brakes that wail on one bike, put 'em on another, and they're silent. Some types are worse than others, though; cantilever brakes are usually the worst offenders. My old cheaps cantis on my cross bike would howl like a tomcat with it's nuts stuck in a mousetrap. Santa brought me some nice Avid Shorty 4s, and they're quiet as can be even when they're wet. In any case, have a bike shop install them for ya. Bring the wrench-dude a beer as a tip, he'll be your friend for life. But WD-40 on a chain? That's unforgivable. WD-40 is better for cleaning a chain than for lubricating one. Use something made to lube a bike chain, like Dumond Tech Lite, or Pedros, or, criminy, put some motor oil on the thing. Anything but WD-40... did

On January 14, 2010, Mumbai beat Karnataka by six runs in a dramatic Ranji Trophy final at Mysore. Nishad Pai Vaidya revisits Mumbai's 39th Ranji Trophy triumph.
In Indian domestic cricket, Mumbai is one side that cannot be ruled out from winning even if the odds are heavily stacked against them. In tight contests, it is that typical Mumbai grit and fighting attitude that helps them rise to the occasion and seal the deal. During the 2009-10 season, Karnataka got a taste of that very fight when Mumbai stole the Ranji Trophy from them in a see-saw encounter at the Gangothri Glades Cricket Ground in Mysore. The narrow victory was a reward for a fulfilling season that saw Mumbai dominate all the way and battle with Karnataka for the coveted prize.
Mumbai had come into the final with only one victory in their season. In seven group games, they had managed only one outright victory along with six draws. On the other hand, Karnataka had recorded four wins out of six in their group stage, before drawing two games in the knock-outs that took them to the final. Both sides were packed with big players. Mumbai had Wasim Jaffer, Ajit Agarkar, Ramesh Powar, Abhishek Nayar and a young Ajinkya Rahane. Robin Uthappa led a Karnataka side comprising of R Vinay Kumar, Stuart Binny, Abhimanyu Mithun and Sunil Joshi to name a few.
On Day One (January 11, 2010), Mumbai won the toss and elected to bat. Vinay Kumar and Mithun troubled Mumbai and bowled them out for 233. Vinayak Samant's 67 was the only half-centurion of the innings. Karnataka started their innings late in the day and lost Uthappa cheaply for nine. Resuming on Day Two at 15 for one, Karnataka were rocked by Aavishkar Salvi's spell of five for 31, as they were bundled out for 130. KB Pawan's 33 proved to be the highest score.
Mumbai had secured a huge 103-run lead when they commenced the second innings. Mithun was now on song, as he ran through the batting and Mumbai stumbled to 50 for five. It was then that Dhawal Kulkarni and Nayar came together and rescued Mumbai. In a stand worth 95, they helped Mumbai recover before Nayar fell for 50. Kulkarni continued to guide the batting, as wickets fell at the other end. His innings of 87 took Mumbai to 234 leaving Karnataka with 338 to get with over two days to go.
Agarkar opened the bowling for Mumbai and dismissed CM Gautam in the very first over. Gautam chased a wide delivery and spooned a catch to Jaffer in the slips. Ganesh Sathish and Pawan then put in a fighting stand and were going about the recovery very well, before the latter was trapped leg-before by Agarkar with the score on 42. Uthappa was dismissed four runs later, as he edged Agarkar to Samant. Karnataka were in trouble at 46 for three.
However, Manish Pandey was a man possessed and walked out to essay a good knock. He started off with boundaries and continued to punish any opportunity that came his way. While Sathish held one end, Pandey was on the attack and dealt in boundaries most of the times. Gradually, they took their partnership past 50, and Karnataka crossed the three-figure mark. Pandey, reached his fifty off only 62 balls and Karnataka had recovered well after those early jolts. Karnataka ended Day Three on 135 for three.
On Day Four, Karnataka continued to do well with Sathish also picking up pace. Pandey continued from where he left the previous day and was smashing it all around the park. Karnataka's score grew and they were getting closer and they had wickets in hand. Pandey got his ton with a four and it had taken him a total of 106 balls to get there. And, as Karnataka moved past 200, Mumbai were getting nervous, as there was no stopping Pandey. It was attack and defence in equal measure, and Mumbai needed some magic.
After a short boundary drought, Pandey then hit Agarkar for a four. Later, he took to Ramesh Powar and hit him for a four and a six to get the required runs under a 100. Soon, the 200-run stand was up and it was moving Karnataka's way. At 251 for three, Jaffer got Iqbal Abdulla back and Pandey welcomed him with a four with his 150 in sight. But, two deliveries later, an edge off his bat went to Jaffer at first-slip as Mumbai breathed a sigh of relief. Still Karnataka's game to lose though!
But, seven runs later, Amit Verma edged Abdulla to wicketkeeper Samant and suddenly Mumbai were back in the game, as Karnataka started feeling a bit nervous. And then, it became serious for Karnataka as Sathish was strapped leg-before for 75 by Kulkarni. At Lunch, Karnataka were 265 for six, still needing 73.
Binny began the afternoon session with a couple of boundaries off Abdulla. Even Joshi started off with a few fours as the target was now under 50. It was then that Jaffer opted for the new ball and Kulkarni struck immediately when he bowled Binny for 17. Later, Agarkar had Joshi caught behind with 35 to get and only two wickets left.
Vinay Kumar hit a boundary or two and picked singles on offer. Agarkar even lost his line on an occasion and bowled five wides. It was neck and neck when Vinay Kumar gradually took Karnataka within 20 of the total. But, with 16 to get, Kulkarni bowled Vinay.
Now, it was left to the last pair in Sreenath Aravind and Mithun. Kulkarni ran in and the batsmen scampered through for all the singles on offer. Kulkarni also overstepped on one occasion and the batsmen ran a brace. Aravind then cut a ball to Rahane, but he dropped it. Mumbai winced in pain!
With seven required, Agarkar started his over. He bowled three dots and then ran in for the fateful delivery. Aravind got an edge and it flew back to Agarkar as he completed the catch and sealed the deal. Mumbai had won their 39th Ranji Trophy title in dramatic fashion.
When CricketCountry asked Jaffer (in 2011) if it was the most special triumph of his career, he said, "Personally, yes. It was, as it turned out to be, a very exiting final. In my first season, I had played the final against Delhi, and that too was a very close game. We had a very strong side then and the thought of losing would never occur. But in the 2009-10 final, we were playing away from Mumbai against a very good side that had enjoyed a very good season. During that season we had a few rough games as we struggled in the league, but in the knock-outs we played outstanding cricket. In the final we came back from behind and won the game. That makes it very special."
Brief scores:
Mumbai 233 (Vinayak Samant 67; R Vinay Kumar 4 for 61, Abhimanyu Mithun 3 for 56) and 234 (Abhishek Nayar 50, Dhawal Kulkarni 87; R Vinay Kumar 3 for 87, Abhimanyu Mithun 6 for 71) beat Karnataka 130 (KB Pawan 33; Dhawal Kulkarni 2 for 52, Aavishkar Salvi 5 for 31) and 331 (Ganesh Satish 75, Manish Pandey 144; Ajit Agarkar 5 for 81, Dhawal Kulkarni 3 for 80) by 6 runs.

Type 1 Diabetes Drug "Teplizumab" Successful in Clinical Trial
Tiffany Kaiser
August 8, 2013 2:39 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: telegraph.co.uk)
It's mainly for pre-diabetics who don't have an advanced version of the disease
A new drug could give pre-diabetics the chance to combat the onset of full-blown
type 1 diabetes
The drug is called teplizumab, and it helped pre-diabetics maintain their current level of insulin production for two full years without the condition worsening. The drug seemed to be most beneficial for pre-diabetics rather than those with advanced type 1 diabetes.
The drug was developed by Jeffrey Bluestone, PhD, an immunologist at UC San Francisco, and Mary Clausen, Distinguished Professor at UC San Francisco. The clinical trial was led by Kevan Herold, MD, PhD, a professor of immunobiology and deputy director for translational science at Yale University.
Teplizumab works by using an antibody targeted against a molecule called CD3. The antibody binds to the immune system's T-cells and stops them from attacking beta cells. This is effective because the disease is caused by the body's immune system destroying insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.
"The benefits of treatment among the patients who still had moderately healthy insulin production suggests that the sooner we can detect the pre-diabetes condition and get this kind of drug onboard, the more people we can protect from the progressive damage caused by an autoimmune attack," said Bluestone.
Those who have advanced type 1 diabetes, however, didn't seem to benefit in the clinical trial. Some even lost half or more of their ability to produce insulin, which was likely due to differences in the "metabolic condition of the patients and in the severity of their disease."
For those who are past the point of pre-diabetes, don't fret. Just earlier this year, researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona significantly improved the
blood glucose levels
of dogs with type 1 diabetes through a gene therapy that consists of a single session of multiple injections. These injections presented adeno-associated vectors (AAV) that both expressed the insulin gene, and also glucokinase (an enzyme that regulates an uptake of glucose from the blood). When both genes were expressed, the excess of blood sugar in type 1 diabetic dogs was controlled over a long-term period.
