The successful clinical application of monoclonal antibodies in oncology highlights the utility of a targeted therapeutic approach. However, a dearth of drugable tumor cell targets limits the number of potential antibodies in development for the treatment of cancer. We have used the human immune response to different cancers to "mine" the cell surface of cancer cells for valid targets. One such antibody, VB1-050, an IgG MAb was generated from pooled lymphocytes of cancer patient samples, using standard hybridoma techniques. This antibody demonstrates preferential binding to a host of tumor cell lines, including breast, liver, prostate and colon, with limited normal tissue reactivity. Further, internalization was confirmed by the disappearance of membrane bound VB1-050 and its appearance intracellularly. Antigen studies using conventional gel-based approaches proved unsuccessful; therefore, a novel approach based upon two-dimensional liquid chromatography, ProteomeLab™ PF-2D in tandem with LC-MS/MS, was developed to identify the antigen target. Two distinct peaks were observed differentially expressed in the VB1-050-reactive cell lines, eluting at 15 and 18 minutes respectively, both absent in non-reactive cell lines. Peptide mass fingerprinting and MS/MS fragmentation of the antigen-positive fractions from VB1-050 reactive cell lines identified Glucose transporter-8/GLUTX1/SLC 2A8 gene product as the VB1-050 antigen. This type-II transmembrane protein belongs to a family of highly related hexose transport proteins that are distributed ina wide variety of species and whose over-expression is predominantly associated with the likelihood of metastasis and hence poor patient prognosis. MS/MS analysis of 2/4 peptides, identified peptide sequences, SLASVVVGVIQ (292-303) and KTLEQITAHFEGR (466-477), respectively, that clearly matched the protein sequence corresponding to Glucose transporter-8; while the other two peptides recovered, represented novel sequences that mapped with 68.2% homology to corresponding peptides from GLUT-8 with changes in amino acids at seven positions, i.e., 7, 10, 12-15, 18. The substitutions corresponded to positional changes at 12 and 13 from LL to AA that is responsible for the orientation of Glut-8 from cytosol to the plasma membrane. Epitope mapping studies led to the identity of a novel Glut-8 sequence as the specific epitope for VB1-050. In summary, the results identify Glut-8 as the cognate antigen for VB1-050. Further research is ongoing to assess the potential clinical exploitation of VB1-050/Glut-8.

I'm really just posting this so you don't think I've died. There appears to be no particularly serious danger of that right now.
My last visit to the surgeon was uneventful. She said both the samples taken from the bumps on my leg were "benign". The insect bite (or whatever) is just so weird though: it's been there for about 3 months now and shows no particular sign of going away. It itches if I scratch it but it doesn't hurt or bleed or do anything dramatic.
I now have 3 pairs of surgical stockings. Here's the picture you've all been waiting for:
It hides the scars, anyway. I put on a clean one every day and wash the used ones in cold water detergent every day or two before I shower. They dry out overnight on a towel rail so I always have a bunch of clean ones ready to go. To give the elastic top a bit more grip on my leg I use some elastic (ACE) bandage and safety pins to make a sort of garter. It does absolutely nothing to improve the look of the thing. The surgeon says that she would like to see me wear it for a year (I'll just bet she would 🙂 ) but that after that I might find I can cut back to half days. For this summer I am planning to get myself some really light and cool long pants. Aside from feeling a little self-conscious about the appearance I want to try to keep the insects away from my leg as much as possible to avoid another cellulitis infection.
My six-week on-line minfulness course has more or less wrapped up. I highly recommend it to any of you who might be interested. It certainly helped me understand what this is all about and how it might be used to improve my state of being. Although I am still not very reliable about meditating I usually manage at least half an hour a day and sometimes a lot more at the end of which I feel much more focussed and living in the present moment.
My daughter is calling me. We are currently reading the fourth book in the Hitchikers' Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. I must go and find my towel.

Violet Jessamy's thoughts do not always revolve around sex - just most of the time. She believes that this fact, along with her hyperactive imagination, is to blame for her choice of secondary career. Having developed a passionate interest in erotica as soon as she figured out it existed, she credits the internet in general for allowing her to pursue said interest and tolerating her early attempts at creating the perfect arousing tale.
She also writes non-erotic fiction, but gets far more enjoyment out of writing smutty stories.

Sibling Love
Posted at 2Peas
I know I am just a little partial but I love this picture of my kids! My daughter is such a caregiver and she loves and protects her brother. This photo really captured a lot about their relationship. I will do another page to put next to it with more journaling but for now I just wanted to scrap this picture.
Also gave me a chance to use some of my newest purchases - Jen Wilson! Paper is from Feeling Blue pack. Ribbon is from Early Autumn Bouqet and Rivets are from Winter's Grace. Font is Andreas Typewriter.
Relationship pages are very satisfying to complete. It is important to celebrate the love in families and a scrapbook page is a great way to do just that.
Happy Scrapping!

I got home from picking my sister up from Newcastle Co Down this morning to find the postman had left 3 parcels. One was some Piece of Beauty discontinued Merino Sock yarn I had 'traded' off a fellow Ravelry member. Another was another 'trade' from a friend Piglottie and the third was a thank you gift from my Monkey Pal Sheryl who I had sent my Monkeys socks etc to me a few weeks back. I love the Eleanora sock pattern, it was on a 'to buy' list. :) What can I say I'm overwhelmed by the pleasantness of the trades and the gifts, Thank you all :)

Dear native plant customer,
As a native plant enthusiast, I had found it difficult to find nurseries specializing in native plants when I was ready to do some landscaping. While I had some experience in gardening and Environmental Science degrees, I didn't have Florida plant specific knowledge other that what I gained through my job working for my county's Natural Resources Office and through attending talks, field trips, and conferences as a member of FNPS. I started playing around with growing a few plants on the side from seed, and after time, the idea of starting my own native plant nursery popped into my hand. There seemed to be many other people like me wanting to use native plants but not able to find enough sources for them. So off I went to acquire my Masters of Science degree in Environmental Horticulture through the University of Florida. My wonderful professor, Sandra Wilson, even taught a Florida Native Landscaping course.
|Naturewise Nursery's location in Kari's back yard.
|Naturewise Nursery's first retail location--
outgrown in 2011.
When I grow 4" pots people want something bigger but when I don't have 4" pots someone wants them. I don't offer really large trees as they're simply too big to move, too expensive to stock, and too expensive to lose if the irrigation went awry. Most of the time people understand the benefits of choosing a smaller sized tree or shrub (smaller hole to dig, less expensive, faster to establish), but then you get a customer who wants a large shrub and wanting to help them, I spend a lot of time tracking down that large tree.

Now that we find ourselves having to move yet again, I ask myself, is it worth it to reopen my nursery one more time? Do I want to continue working 50 hard hours a week to run a part time retail nursery where I make less than half of what I made at my last "real job"? If I do, will you buy plants? Will you bring your friends?

Herself: Fuzzier but vastly better. Wrote this. Ate an avocado sandwich because I dropped the avocado. Reality always leads one on.
Reading: Delighted in Liz Carpenter's "Ruffles and Flourishes," tho now we know much more that went on behind the façade of the LBJ years and can read more into the book
Balance: Watching "Top Chef's" two newest episodes on Saturday afternoon. We do like top chef but always are a week behind.
We picked Bee up at her place, and drove down through the mazes of freeways that I used to take for granted. One enters the Getty torturously below the hill, up the canyon, under the freeway, only arriving to discover that parking has now gone up to fifteen bucks. The museum is free, mind you.
It took more than Twelve years to construct the museum, , (video works only in Internet Explorer), then the massive quantities of stored art were installed to an enthralled public.
Where I once was in love with the Malibu Getty, which is now open again, here I found the art mediocre, the building a massively repititive white stone series of boxes, and only the gardens innovative but rigid in their design. Oh, opinionated me.
This visit I loudly cheered that the museum had acquired Irving Penn's Small Trade's series. The Geeee-zers initial opinion, tinged by his virus, was that the show was boring, and perhaps many others will feel the poses repetitious. As he walked through the galleries he gained enthusiasm and perspective on the works. Smiling when he left.
I love Penn's work. His were some of the first photographs I saw that moved me deeply. I felt these works were clean and simple offering a backdrop to the portrait within, and the portraits were powerful and moving pieces that captured real people.
In this series, Penn had set out to photograph some of the vanishing trades, and he photographed the workers with their tools. Many of these small crafts are now gone.
"What's a Tinker?" One European gentleman asked me as we stood before a print.
I did my best to explain that the traveling tinker we were looking at perhaps mended pots and pans. He worked with metal, and often carried small metal tools for the housewife such as needles and pins. I don't think the gentleman fully understood what I was saying. He did understand that there were no more tinkers.
We had done a quick viewing of the show, a run through, while waiting for Michael to get off work. When he joined us, we toured the galleries slowly taking time to see that often Penn made both silver and platinum prints of each photograph. I was much moved by many of the people Penn portrayed, their pride, their uniqueness, their special realities captured by his lens.
Later we ate an excellent burger overlooking the city, and talked of whatever old friends will talk about. These are special, creative, and flexible friends….I just don't like to drive with them. Did I say that.

A country where there are 2.1 AK-47s per citizen and the 'drug' of choice is Khat [...a kind of 'Speed'] ("Khat is so popular in Yemen that its cultivation consumes much of the country's agricultural resources. It is estimated that 40% of the country's water supply goes towards irrigating it, with production increasing by about 10% to 15% every year."). The Yemeni army is on the move after The US leaned on their government to go after al Qaeda... which they are apparently doing with great enthusiasm. The question is "will the villagers break with al Qaeda, and will AQ be willing to leave?

Yemen's coming explosion will make today's problems seem tame.
In 2010, Yemen will celebrate the 20th anniversary of national unification. But it won't be much of a party: This could well be the year Yemen comes apart.
Even the brutal 1994 civil war failed to threaten the structural integrity of this country chronically teetering on the verge of disintegration as much as the current crises, all of which may be coming to a head in 2010.
Yemen has so many dire problems that it's easy to be overwhelmed. Al Qaeda is growing in prominence, a Shiite rebellion is expanding in the north, and the threat of secession is renewed in the south. There's a brewing fight over what comes after President Ali Abdullah Saleh, age 67, who has ruled Yemen for 31 years; the country's elites are locked in a closed-door struggle to take power once he departs.
Finally, and perhaps most intractably, Yemen is an environmental and resource catastrophe in the making. The country's water table is nearly depleted from years of agricultural malpractice, and its oil reserves are rapidly dwindling. This comes just when unemployment is soaring and an explosive birthrate promises only more young, jobless citizens in the coming years..."

"Mine is bigger than yours!" Dubai has opened the world's tallest building. Called the Burj Khalifah (or Khalifah Tower), it's 158 floors and 2,717 feet, including a penthouse Mosque. Twice the height of the Empire State building. How tall is it? It's so tall the climate is different at the top.
Now that Dubai is having to be bailed out by its oil-rich sister emirate, Abu Dhabi, the tower had to be named for its ruler Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, rather than retaining its original name, Burj Dubai. Many critics have seen it as a monument to hubris likely to remain mostly empty, as the 21st century Tower of Babel. [In Full, with video, at Informed Comment]
The house Democrats are meeting to plan a strategy for the Health Care bill, and perhaps figure out a way to speed up the process by a parliamentary maneuver that would allow them to skip Conference Committee. Details.
The suicide bomber who killed the CIA intelligence analysts at Khost FOB in Afghanistan was a Jordanian with a Jordanian intelligence handler (killed in the blast and shipped home for a military funeral) who had been reliable and was thought to have location information for al Qaeda #2 man al Zawahiri. More from Foreign policy:
Jordanian double agent behind CIA attack
The suicide bomber who attacked an outpost in Khost, Afghanistan last week killing seven CIA agents and a Jordanian spy was a Jordanian double agent, recruited by both countries' intelligence services to provide information about al Qaeda's top leadership, according to Western government officials.
The Washington Post reports that Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi was a 36-year-old physician with a history of supporting Jihadist causes and was well known on extremists online message boards. Balawi was arrested by Jordanian authorities in 2007 and recruited as a double agent. Balawi gained the trust of Jordanian authorities and the CIA with a stream of valuable intelligence leaks, which may explain why he was allowed on the base without more thorough screening. He may have been helping the agency track down al Qaeda second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri, who is believed to be hiding somewhere in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region.
The revelations are somewhat embarrassing for Jordan, which has often tried to keep its counterterrorism cooperation with the United States quiet, fearing domestic backlash. The body of the Jordanian intelligence operative who was assigned as Balawi's handler was flown home for a military funeral over the weekend. The CIA has no(t) publicly revealed the names of those killed in the worst attack against the agency in more than 25 years. [In Full]

12 Nigerian and Ghanian migrants who were traveling on a boat with Muslim migrants from Libya to Italy killed following religious clash
The illegal immigrants, 105 of them in number, left Libya on Tuesday in a rubber boat. When they sailed north across the Mediterranean Sea, a fight broke out and the Muslim occupants in the boat, mainly from Ivory Coast, Mali and Senegal engaged in a fight with their fellow immigrants who were Christians and threw 12 of them overboard, Italian police said.
The Italian police have arrested 15 of the Muslims that carried out the attack and they will be charged with multiple homicide.

text: An interesting little book that I stumbled upon at the B&N website. It follows the story of the Queen of England who one days discovers the traveling library (aka, the book mobile). Feeling like she should check out a book, she does and discovers the world of books. So she starts reading non-stop. But for whatever reason (maybe because reading changed her a bit) all of her workers don't like her reading and do what they can to make her stop. I was a little annoyed by that. If someone wants to read, then let them. Its a good book for someone who loves books since that's mostly what it talks about. And at the length of only 120 pages, there's no reason to not read it. So check it out. And make sure you have a dictionary. There's some big words.

Government raises hopes for greener budget
With confidence within the renewable sector being regularly tested by our governments inability to set and leave alone a positive policy for energy, positive news regarding Heseltine's work last year is gladly welcomed.
Minsters have broadly backed Lord Heseltine's wide-ranging plans to accelerate regional growth, raising the
prospect of a greener budget and more ambitious clean energy policies
has confirmed it
will accept 81 of the 89 recommendations
put forward by the Conservative peer in the
No Stone Unturned
report he authored last year, which set out a strategy to accelerate infrastructure investment as a means of restoring growth to the UK economy.
The report urged the government to set out a
"definitive and unambiguous energy policy, including the supporting financial regime, to give the sector the certainty to invest".
He praised the government's plans for a fleet of offshore wind farms and welcomed proposals to tap tidal energy from the Severn, arguing the project would provide
"the possibility of both a long-term source of energy and extraordinary economic regeneration".
Heseltine plan was welcomed
by companies across the
green energy sector
, which have been calling for greater policy consistency so they can capitalise on the opportunities offered by green energy infrastructure.
A recent survey by the Renewable Energy Association (REA) revealed that in general the UK renewables industry is
concerned about UK energy policy
and like us is asking for simple clear support.
Commenting on the results, REA chief executive, Gaynor Hartnell said:
"The UK has to achieve a higher growth rate than any other Member State in order to reach its 2020 renewables target. Mixed messages remain a problem and industry needs policy certainty and political consistency. The prize is up to 400,000 jobs by 2020, economic growth and greatly improved energy security."

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do ~ Ephesians 2:10
Last night, I ate dinner with my doctor and his family. We were his guests at a benefit banquet for the Ramona Pregnancy Center. We thought we were going to watch a famous actress give a keynote speech. God had different plans. Memories of visiting Grace Community Church returned to me as I entered the building for a second time. The last time I visited many years ago, I played the role of Nathaniel in the "Living Last Supper". My friend, Jim Tate, another actor in the play, walked up to me and gave me a hug before the event started. He was sitting with his wife, Vicky, just a couple of tables away.
The announcer started speaking and we took our seats before I got the opportunity to visit with Vicky. The crowd quieted as the host announced, "ladies and gentlemen, there is a change of plans for this evening. Our featured speaker, Nancy Stafford, will not be with us this evening. Her mother is ill and she was forced to cancel." He added, "don't worry, this is a God thing and He will give us what we need to make this evening work out."
I read the quote on the care clinic brochure, "for we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." This Bible verse is from Ephesians 2:10. Mary James, female vocalist of the year, repeated this verse after dinner as she stepped in to fill Nancy's shoes. This is just another God thing, I thought to myself. Here I am listening to a speaker give a last-minute keynote talk and she is repeating the same verse that Pete Zindler quoted at my last writer's meeting. Okay, God, this evening belongs to you and I am ready for whatever you have planned.
The evening was incredible. Mary spoke from her heart and she touched mine as she shared about her life apart from God. She was rejected by her biological parents and her adopted parents. She was the perfect person to speak about how it feels to not be wanted. When she finished her talk, I walked up to my friend Jim and asked to speak with his wife. I wasn't sure if she would be willing to talk with me since she had changed churches over some issues she was having.
Vicky gave me a big hug and we quickly rekindled our friendship. I brought up the "laying of hands" ceremony and she started chuckling. "I just shared that story last week with my deacon at my church, Doug Failla," she said. God set this up in advance, I thought. 'Vicky', I said, 'Doug is my daughter's tennis coach.' "I know, I saw her name in the paper with her cousin, Amy. That is why I brought up the story with Doug. I wanted Doug to know about our connection to the Holy Spirit."
'Vicky, I have something very important to ask you. I am writing a book and I need your permission to share this experience in one of the key chapters. Will you allow me to publish your name?' Without any hesitation, Vicky said yes. She then described what she felt while laying her hands on me during that life-changing moment. "I put my hands on a whole row of people before I got to you. As soon as I put my hands over you, I immediately felt something. I knew something was happening to you and I started crying uncontrollably. I felt heat coming out of you. What was happening to you?"
'Vicky, you were the second person to lay hands on me. The first time, nothing happened. I sat there quietly, asking the Holy Spirit to come into my heart. I didn't feel anything. A few minutes later, I felt your presence over me, your hands touching my head.' Her face lit up as I described meeting Jesus. 'I saw Jesus, Vicky. He was standing to my right and He was so bright. I never looked directly at Him but I could see his light shining, lighting up the row of people standing directly in front of me. My attention was on the people. They were people in my life that I was having difficulty with, most of them my enemies. My father was in the crowd and there were people I worked with.' I paused for a moment. 'Vicky, I was thanking Jesus for each of these people in my life.'
I told her that when I woke up, the church was nearly empty. I don't know how long I was in this trance. I told her, 'my life changed completely at that moment. There was this sense of peace that I had never experienced in my whole life. I felt as if I was floating on air.' Vicky smiled and hugged me. "Thank you for sharing. It was a Holy Spirit moment for both of us." 'Yes is was, Vicky, and one of the things that happened is that I stopped swearing, COMPLETELY. The Holy Spirit has been inside of me every moment of my life and it all started when you laid your hands on me.'
I talked about how this supernatural experience set up a series of events that have led me to become a writer. Like the last-minute substitute who spoke about her life with Jesus, I will follow Mary's example and share all the good Jesus is doing in my life with anyone willing to listen. I thanked Vicky for giving me permission to use her name and shared the blog address with her so she can get become a follower. She told me she is also working on a book. 'I know the perfect people who can help you get it published,' I said. "Is it Pete Zindler, the guy who put on the play you and Jim were in?" 'Yes, Vicky, and Byron Mettler and some other people from our hometown.' "I know Byron, " she said. I replied with a smile, 'Come join us and share your story. I will see you soon.'
As I left the church, I thought, this night was destiny. It had been planned by God even before I was born. He is an awesome God!
"My major goal was to give honor to God, the only One who can take a broken life and give it purpose." ~ Mary James (upon acceptance of the Inspirational Country Music Female Vocalist of the Year Award)

I have been very pensive of late and filled with gratitude to God for His miraculous blessings to me. I cannot thank Him enough. More specifically, I am grateful as I review the events of the past few years in my pilgrimage as it were in recovering from post traumatic stress. I am hardly fully recovered at present, but there was a time when I could not rise from my bed, could not read more than a sentence at a time, and in mind and body had as it were not one stone left upon another. And in answer to many a fervent prayer God did not immediately heal me but guided others to help me rebuild my life one shred at a time. I would like to take a moment and thank some of those many who helped in restoring my health and life.
Firstly, I would be amiss to forget my parents who took me to Cancun and other places of relaxation and my mother who ensured, among other things, that I would eat every day, for I had not presence of mind enough to do even that. I am grateful also to relatives such as Crystal Junior and Martha Schreiber who took my situation seriously when others often too harshly attempted to dismiss its magnitude. I thank Annie Smith, who taught and encouraged me when I came to turn to yoga as a means of healing, Rachel, my personal trainer who taught me the power of the human body in all its precious aspects, Jeff Comer who also instructed me in yoga and through whose teaching I learned how to connect spirit, body, mind and heart, using one to strengthen another, and the gorgeous yoga instructor Ms. Allisa Blue who acts as a continual reminder that life is more than merely staying alive. This became paramount to my healing and to that end I also thank Coral Newberry for teaching by example that God is not only in the strict hand of order but also and equally in the joy of soul driven creativity.
I am tremendously grateful to Rocky Twitchell for discovering and believing in me, acting as a friend and brother in Christ in the truest of forms. I come even to tears of gratitude for the exquisite Mark Byrnes who believed in me and saw not only goodness but greatness in me when I could least see it in myself. If guardian angels exist in the flesh, he is most certainly mine. My memory does not serve well from this period of my life, but I recall vaguely reading the works of Dr. Greg Jackson after my ability to read returned and though the trauma is still too thick to recall everything I remember that it pleased the Lord to employ his work as a means of breaking open a floodgate of light and memory, if only on a temporary basis. My gratitude to him and his labors as well.
I come now to the twins who have never met. They bear a common name of Eddie, and oh! How much each has enriched my life! Eddie Aguirre pulled me out of darkness as it were and after a year of my hardly cracking a smile, left me literally crying with laughter, struggling for breath and a fresh perspective on life overtaking me. His counterpart, "Mister" Eddie, as he is commonly known, in doing little more than being his own wonderful self, helped bring me to a glorious dawn after the darkest of nights. The goodness of his personality and the ethereal light of his spirit acted as a balm of Gilead on my pained and suffering soul.
Yet all these wonderful people together are as nothing compared to the One who really brought me this far. He has been my sun, my moon, and starlit sky; He is my confidante, my benefactor, my friend and the purest joy I have ever known. He has urged me on and carried me through things I never believed I could have survived. I love Him with a passion that all the world cannot lessen, a devotion that I shall surely employ the rest of my life illustrating, and a confidence unshakable and ennobling. He is my first consideration in the morning, my last at night, and not a conscious hour passes that I do not rejoice in my Lord Jesus Christ.

Dear Parents,
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! To all the families who participated in our Dues campaign, we met our goal – and couldn't have done it without your help. As of today, 191 Mason-Rice families raised $44,690, and lifted us to 112% over our goal! Dues is our largest fundraiser – and a strong dues campaign supported by many families takes pressure off other fundraisers run by smaller teams. It also gives us the confidence to spend our budget as planned on the many Creative Arts & Sciences events, classroom, curriculum and field trip support, and so much more. We would also like to thank our co-Treasurer Patrick Song for all his work making sure each donation is counted! Just one note – we have been getting quite a few inquiries about company matches. We are happy to complete paperwork to get a corporate match for your donation. Please contact our co-Treasurer, Patrick Song, for assistance.
By now you should all have received the Directory, the essential tool for parents looking to connect with each other and schedule playdates. We would like to thank the entire Directory Team and all who helped create and distribute our much valued compendium of names and lists. As a reminder, you can also access the Directory through our website. A special thanks to our Committee Chairs, Lucy Mermagen and Scott Michalman, for all their hard work. In addition, we want to thank Erica Rai and Meredith Tzouros for their beautiful cover design, and Yasmeen Kazimi, Maureen Oates, and Kathy Rinn for their many contributions and help in creating another fantastic Directory.
Please take a minute to mark your calendars for our next Parent Coffee with Principal Bultema. It will take place on Tuesday, December 5 from 8:30-9:30am in The Centre (located on lower level of Mason-Rice). Jake will discuss MCAS, our results as a school, and other updates regarding our Math Coach, Literacy Specialist, Principal Stars and school mascot.
We wish all of you a nice weekend. As always, send us an email if you have questions, suggestions or comments.

Such a strange feeling to read about my late grandmother Ruth Borchard and the Face to Face self portrait collection in this week's Time Out!
A (mixed) review of the exhibition at Kings Place
Self-portraits can be morbidly fascinating. It was the introspective nature of the endeavour that prompted the late Ruth Borchard to build a collection of 100 self-portrait paintings and prints by mainly British artists, each bought/commissioned for a maximum of 21 guineas. This selection, spanning 50 years (1921-71) offers welcome glimpses of several key developments in British painting, not least the kitchen sink school. The specificity of Borchard's interest, however, and this lacklustre, frieze-like display make one all too aware of the gaps: those who are not and should be represented here.
Borchard, who fled Hamburg during WWII, was clearly a woman of influence and a hard bargainer. Many decades on, it seems preposterous that artists of Euan Uglow and Roger Hilton's ilk would agree to part with such personal works for so little.The majority were made and bought during the 1950s and '60s, when post-war austerity and social realism ruled. The sobre palettes and serious poses generally reflect this, as opposed to more abstract concerns from across the pond.
Among the many art-school educators (William Coldstream, John Minton), David Bomberg looms large: from certain perspectives around the odd balcony space, there appears enough muddy slap to drown a field of festival revellers and overwhelm the more subtle but significant pieces of this art-historical puzzle. While one might argue that the holes in any collection are as pertinent to the backstory as the works included (the fact that only five women artists made the pack speaks volumes), one tends to rely on Borchard's accounts of her dealings with the artists as tonal chart to match these p'té-hued views on the past.

It's been quiet in my house this past week. My boyfriend has been away all week, so for the first time since I moved here I have had some time to myself.
As far as I'm concerned I've spent my time wisely. I've bought and successfully eaten all of my favorite foods. My TV choices have included plenty of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, The Bachelorette and old episodes of Sex and the City. I met friends for Happy Hour on Monday, and met them again for Trivia Night on Thursday. Friday, I grabbed some drinks after work with co-workers. And, I've managed to fit in a few runs in the morning (yes, I am conquering that bastard of a hill – see The Hill posting). Of course, both dogs are also taking advantage of this opportunity by sleeping in bed with me – Oakley under the covers with his head on the pillow and Thor at the foot of the bed.
Today, I decided to head to Town to do some shopping. As a side, Town is formally known as Charlotte Amalie, which is pronounced either Charlotte Ah-ma-lee, or Ah-mal-yah, but everyone calls it 'Town'. This is probably because nobody has determined how to actually pronounce this place, but I digress.
St. Thomas actually has some pretty good shopping. The fact that there isn't any sales tax on the island, coupled with all of the tourism, has encouraged some pretty high end fashion companies and many, many jewelers to set up shop here. There's Gucci, Salvadore Farragamo, Tommy Hilfiger, BCBG, H Stern, Tiffany & Co. and Coach – to name a few. Since I'm not one for high-end shopping, I stuck to White House Black Market and a few of the more local boutiques and jewelers.
I enjoyed my time perusing around from shop to shop and wound up buying some gifts for friends and a couple of things for myself. I even splurged on buying my first pate for lunch, which is a local favorite that is basically a fried pocket with meat and spices inside. I now understand why these delightful pieces of fried goodness are so popular because I couldn't put this thing down! I'm absolutely looking forward to my next one.
Of course, being alone for a week down here hasn't all been fun and games. I've also had the sole responsibility of killing any and all bugs that may creep into the house. Naturally, last night, while brushing my teeth, I found the largest bug I've ever seen in my life, crawling around in the shower. Thankfully, I had had 3 glasses of wine when I found it, so I had enough courage to kill this thing without hesitation by using the end of a mop and a broom. Gross.
I've also had to be on garbage duty all by myself this week. Since the residential roads are too tricky for garbage trucks to drive down, there are centralized dumping areas where garbage has to be driven and dropped off. The first day I had to myself I noticed that our outside garbage can was full. Since I had an entire week ahead of me, I had no choice but to haul it down to the dumping area and throw it into the dumpster by myself. This was no easy task. First, to keep your car clean and maggot free, it's important to double bag all garbage prior to putting it into your car. With this I mind, I used every muscle in my body to take the bag of garbage out of the dumpster, tie it up and get it into another bag. Since I'm a complete weakling, in order to get the bag out of the dumpster I had to tip the dumpster on its side and pull the bag out. I then ended up using the hill to roll the full bag down into the empty bag. At this point, the garbage bag was several yards away from my car. I geared myself up to lift this monstrosity into my car by cursing several times. Then, I somehow found the strength to hoist it up and into the car. Once I got to the dumping area, I again struggled with lifting the bag out of my car and getting it to the dumpster. I was successful in getting it out of my car but, I literally wasn't strong enough to pull it up and into the dumpster. I tried and tried, but I just couldn't get this thing up high enough to push it over the edge of the dumpster. Looking like a pathetic damsel in distress, a helpful man noticed me and came to my rescue. Afterwards, he disapprovingly said, 'Have you ever thought of using more than one bag?" Exhausted, but somehow feeling like I needed to explain myself, I responded by telling this stranger that my boyfriend had [unknowingly] left me stranded with the garbage for the week.
So, this week has had its ups and downs, but overall it's been nice to do my own thing for a bit, and the time has gone by quickly. In fact, I only have a few more hours before heading to the airport to pick up my boyfriend. I can't wait to see him!

Amos 1: Perfect Justice
We made it to Amos 1. We are dropped right into the middle of the action where we have a list of people that are going to punish by God for their sins.
Amo 1:3 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
Amo 1:4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
Amo 1:5 I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the LORD.
The other locations that are mentioned are Gaza, Tyrus, Edom and Ammon. They all begin with the same prelude regarding three and four transgressions, and God is not turning away the punishment thereof. Obviously, the following verses deviate a little bit regarding what is going to happen or why it's happening, but the structure is very similar.
This reminds me of the fact that God takes sin very seriously. He has been generous and does not always immediately punish. We can see that from the fact that there were three transgressions already, but the people have reached the boundary where it is time to face the music. Yesterday, I wrote about justice, and I wrote how as humans, we are comforted by the fact that there will be justice.
God, being perfectly just, also executes judgment that we might not be so comfortable with. If you break the law, you pay the price. It is just like our system here in the United States. You do the crime; you do the time. It is perfectly consistent with the just character of God to discipline people for breaking the perfect law.
Some people argue that God should just let everything go. If He was truly loving, He would never punish anyone. However, they forget about this characteristic of God. He certainly is loving, but loving someone does not mean forgetting justice. We confuse our definitions.

Coe Honor Band
Once again this year Marshall was selected for the Coe Honor Band and today was his performance. One of the stipulations I had when I headed on the golf trip after getting back from Germany was I would be back in time for this performance. As you can see I came through and made it. The concert was amazing, hard to believe that kids this young can sound as good as they do. Marshall getting to be a part of this is a great experience because they get to work with some top quality directors and be part of a really good band. I'm glad I was able to get back in time for this, it was worth it.

Okay, I promised to keep you up to date with my Harry Potter Cabinets. So, here are the pictures of the finished minis. Well, late last night I finally arranged each cabinet and glued the items on the shelves. Tara is posting them in her shop, however, they will be marked "Reserved" for the time being as she has someone that is interested in them. We are pretty sure that this person may not buy all of them, so keep an eye out at Tara's Store for a chance to get one if you are interested. Everything was hand made except the cabinets and the bottles. This was a very interesting venture for me and I really enjoyed coming up with idea's that were a little different than Tara's cabinet. My next project will be the Tea Cart and I already have a few items made for it. However, I will not start that project until next week as I have some paperwork that needs to be completed and tomorrow is Easter Sunday. But, I will post pictures of the Tea cart as I go along.
Wishing all of you a very Happy Easter,
Sherry XOXO :-)

Our low-top take on the classic upscale sneaker delivers authentic street style, done from a Crocs point of view. They're super lightweight and flexible, but supportive enough for all-day comfort. Sleek with a streamlined design, they will carry you from casual Friday to the morning farmer's market and whatever Sunday Funday adventures you choose.
Men's CitiLane Roka Court Details:
Hollie from undisclosed"Let me start by saying that I require a comfortable work shoe due to me being on my feet 8 hours a day in retail. I've been wearing Cole Haan Zero Grands exclusively for work for several years now. I originally bought the Crocs Citilane Roka Court at the Crocs store in Orlando a few months ago as I was looking for a dedicated boat shoe to use while boating. So I decided to wear them to work the next day just to see how comfortable they would be. Wow! I was so impressed that I have worn here every single day since buying them! I wear these Crocs to work, boating, kayaking everywhere! I just received two more pair that I ordered online. They are surprisingly durable. I am VERY rough on shows and the Crocs are holding up exceptionally well. They are very washable and dry fast. My original pair has been worn every day for three months and look almost new. They have seen 8-10 hour work days and then active days on the boat in a salt water environment. Anyway, sorry for the long review but I am thoroughly impressed and will buy more in the future. Thank you Crocs for a great product!"

Here's a photo of a well dressed Nantucket Toucan bird I saw outside a store while visiting Nantucket on August 27th this year. This "big bird" was quite stylish modeling her new dress and in keeping with a affluent image of summertime on Nantucket. I spoke to this Toucan and she said that she was vacationing from the Amazon river region of Brazil and would be flying back soon to her winter home. She said she comes up to Nantucket every Summer for the fresh fish and seafood as well as shopping for new outfits.

Sights around Budapest
St Stephan's Basilica - Budapest
0.7 km distance from Budapest city center.
St Stephan's Basilica is situated in the heart of downtown Budapest, near Erzsebet Square, along the Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Boulevard, not far from the Danube and the Parliament on Kossuth Lajos Square. The building, now one of the most notable church and tourist sight, took over 50 years to build, starting in 1850. The dedication took place in 1905. The Holy Right hand of Hungary's first king is kept in its sanctuary. On the top of the 96 metres high tower, visitors may enjoy a panorama view on the capital. The building is close to 90 metres long, and 55 metres wide - large enough for eight thousand people. Both the outer walls and the interior is rich in ornaments and unique decoration of fine arts. The Basilica has a famous organ and a fine choir, giving concerts on Sundays. Through the summer months, additional concerts with local and international artists are scheduled.

Nothing will more correctly reveal what is in a person than the coming upon them of some crushing and unlooked-for crisis. Let it be temporal ruin by the failure of his calculations or the disappointment of all his hopes: let it be the entrance of the death-angel into his home and the removal from it of his nearest and dearest earthly friend; let it be his own prostration by some serious illness which puts him face to face with his dissolution, and forthwith the extent of his resources is unfolded, and it is at once discovered both by others and by himself whether he is animated by unfailing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and sustained by the grace of the Holy Spirit, or whether he has been deceiving himself, all the while relying on some other support. It was a shrewd remark of Andrew Fuller that a man has only as much religion as he can command in trial.
Let us therefore look back upon the past and analyze our experiences at such testing times as those to which I have referred. We have all had them. We have all heard already, in some form or other, this midnight cry, "Behold, the bridegroom cometh"; for in every such surprise as those which I have described, Jesus was coming to us. How did we meet him then? Did our lamps go out? Or were we able to trim them and keep them burning brightly all through? Oh, if by any such event we discovered our utter resourcelessness, let us betake ourselves now to Christ that he may thoroughly renew us by his Holy Spirit and so prepare us for that last and solemnest crisis when over the graves of the slumbering dead the archangel shall cry out, "Behold, the Bridegroom cometh," and all shall arise to stand before his great white throne.
In the parable of the Five Foolish Women and Their Friends...the difference between the condition of the wise and that of the foolish was revealed by the coming of the bridegroom. It revealed itself in crisis. During the days before the wedding or night leading up to the start of the feast few would have noticed that five women would have adequately prepared for the bridegroom's coming and five had not.
Suddenly the bridegroom came, and the distinction was immediately apparent. Five women were running around like the Keystone Cops probably knocking into one another tripping over one another trying to figure out where to get more oil for their lamps and trimming their wicks in the dark. It would be a comical scene if it wasn't for the fact that these woman are actually a metaphor for you and I and they represent those that are professing acting Christian's but only on the outside. The difference is internal. Inside they/we are unprepared if we are not prepared in a time of crisis.
How do you know if you are on the wise side or the foolish side? The answer comes from the parable itself. You can preview the results of their/your final judgement by the reaction of the women/your reaction to crisis' in your life today. Do you respond in faith and security or anxiety and dread? Can you weather the storm or does the storm weather you?
~William Taylor: The Parables of Our Savior Expounded and Illustrated. 1900. P170-171

Wettest week in seven weeks
With the start of school temperatures and humidity climbed, as is often the case in Iowa. Above normal temperatures during the week ending Aug. 24 aided crop development, although rain limited some fieldwork, according to the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service.
Topsoil moisture levels improved and rated 4 percent very short, 19 percent short, 73 percent adequate and 4 percent surplus statewide. In west central Iowa, ratings were 5 percent short, 88 percent adequate and 7 percent surplus.
Subsoil moisture levels statewide were rated as 4 percent very short, 21 percent short, 73 percent adequate and 2 percent surplus. Ratings in west central Iowa were 1 percent very short, 12 percent short, 82 percent adequate and 5 percent surplus.
NASS reports that 88 percent of Iowa's corn crop was in the dough stage or beyond, 17 days ahead of last year and eight days ahead of the five-year average. Corn crop in the dent stage reached 33 percent, 25 percentage points above the previous year but still 9 points below normal. In west central Iowa, 94 percent of the corn is in or past dough stage and 40 percent is in or past dent stage. Across Iowa, three-quarters of the corn acreage was reported in good or excellent condition.
NASS also reports that 94 percent of the soybean crop was setting pods or beyond, 13 percentage points above last year and 1 point above average. West central Iowa is ahead of the average, with 99 percent setting pods. Across the state, 73 percent of the soybean acreage was reported in good to excellent condition.
Alfalfa cutting has been slow with the days of rain. Across the state, 46 percent of the third cutting was done, 11 percentage points below last year and 18 points below the five-year average. West central Iowa is a little behind the state at 43 percent completed.
Preliminary weather summary by Harry Hillaker, IDALS state climatologist: Temperatures were above normal throughout the week. The week ending Aug. 24 was among the warmer weeks of the year with temperatures averaging 1 to 2 degrees above normal over the far southeast portion of the state to 6 degrees above normal in northwest Iowa. The statewide average temperature was 4 degrees above normal. Temperature extremes ranged from a low of 56 degrees Wednesday at Stanley in Buchanan County to afternoon highs of 92 degrees at Sioux City on Thursday and at Stanley on Friday.
Volunteer weather observer John Beltz reported a low temperature for the week ending Friday (Aug. 22) of 70 degrees on Saturday, Aug. 16. He reported a high temperature of 86 degrees on Aug. 19.
Rain fell all over Iowa. Weekly rain totals ranged from 0.33 inch at Persia in Harrison County and 0.35 inch at Blockton in Taylor County to 7.0 inches at Greenfield and 5.97 inches at Saint Ansgar in Mitchell County. Beltz reported a total of 1.37 inches in Jefferson, including 0.51 inch on Aug. 16 and 0.81 inch on Aug. 21.
The statewide average rainfall was 1.85 inches, double the weekly normal of 0.93 inch. This was Iowa's wettest week in seven weeks.

Psalms 54:7 For you have rescued me from my troubles, and helped me triumph over my enemies.
My Thoughts
Nothing is too big for God! Because we live on this earth we will have our share of troubles, we will be in the path of people who listen to what the devil says. But there is nothing we can't get through with God. God will always rescue us, God is stronger than any enemy we face! I can look back over my life and see that God rescued me so many times. Now that I have a closer walk with him, now that I make an effort to understand how to have a relationship with God. Now that I know how to talk to God and how to hear God's plan for me. I find that God always rescues me in one way or another from my troubles. God always comes to help me when I call, now I know how to call on him much sooner. Now when I am doing life right I call on God before I even have troubles. God is always there, to get me through or pull me out of any troubles the devil puts in my path. What the devil uses for our destruction, God turns into his glory. I read a quote recently, and I don't remember the exact words or who said it...but it said that we should not pray for the storm to go away but pray that we will not be afraid. When we know God, actually take time to spend time with God we can know he will take care of us during the storm. Our prayers can be "God, help me to not be afraid, because I know that you are right beside me. I know that you are bigger than any storm I face." I get closer to that point all the time. I still have my places where I am not so sure. But the more time I spend getting to really know God, and the more I learn just how much he loves me, and just how powerful he is. The more I know that all I have to do is call out to God, because God is always there for me.

Dad started chemo yesterday and called last night to say he felt alright. They doped him up before and after to fight nausea. Five more treatments will be administered every 3 weeks, spanning into June. This puts him on temporary disability, just a few years before was was going to retire. He sounds fine, if tired, and he says he's eating fast food to slam on the calories. Because the chemo will hit his immune system, he's somewhat homebound. I want to keep my visits short so I won't wear him out, and we hope to stop by this weekend.
I gave blood Sunday and received the hard sell to donate twice through apheresis. So I relented. Your Sis sat in the car and read while I leaked for an hour in the bloodmobile. What they don't tell you is that the IV solution that brings your plasma back in the veins gives you a sugar rush, and I spent the next few hours babbling and giggling. And then Your Sis bought me half a pint of Bass, and I went loopy. As the French say, "loo-pay." As they say in Germany ... something German. I believe very much in giving blood, and I was glad to do it. But when the room-temperature plasma went back into my 20-degree-warmer arm, I turned into Keanu from The Matrix. The scene after he takes the pill and the silver slides up his arm? Yeah, that was me.
We sat down to watch a DVD Saturday night, and I let her choose the film. She put in Lagaan, and it ran for 20 minutes before she accused me of being bored (untrue), and we switched to Blade Runner instead. It's going to be one of those weeks where we won't see much of each other as she does school and I do theatre. Speaking of which ...
Friday night saw us run through the first two scenes of Act Two. I was achy and tired and it may have helped me play older. The director wants us to learn the lines verbatim and stop drifting into paraphrase. It's a tricky script to learn, and we're constantly editing out the awkward British dialogue. Really, who says "daren't?" Who squishes together four prepositions within ten words? We have to adjust it. I was doubled over with laughter at one point because my line ("And what the hell is what she does to do with you, may I ask?") simply wouldn't come out.
We might be able to get our stage a week early, giving us two weeks of on-site rehearsals before we open. That'd be great. We also learn our first Sunday matinée will be on Easter, and one wonders if people that day will flock to a psychosexual murder thriller. There is word that 20 tickets are already purchased for our first Saturday because a local group wanted to see a mystery. However, this isn't a mystery. The murder takes place on page 24. There's no doubt who did it. The tension is in how far my character can be bossed into subjugation. (Answer: Quite far. And then he cries.)
We spent rehearsals Friday and Monday night testing out our initial blocking directions. We stopped often to rework moments, and we ran the scenes an awful lot. We need to, sure, but the third scene is my character's most wracking. Displaying a nervous breakdown for three hours is exhausting. I wore my contacts Sunday night to see if the director preferred that. He didn't say anything, but everyone said I looked tired. Again, maybe this will help me sell "older." Our current gun is inconsistent with the caps, leaving me to yell my lines and improv the gun sound. "Maybe we will be together ... in hell. BUT YOU'LL GET THERE FIRST!!! ... Oh, um, bang. Peyow. I'm, like, shooting you and stuff."
Trivia: Our fake mink coat is made by "Lykafur." Because it's like a fur.
Picture of the Day
We played a little Guitar Hero. I officially loathe Carry On, My Wayward Son.
In the News
You asked about pundit links to the comments I mentioned. I couldn't find them, unfortunately. But the next time you hear about a mass shooting, switch on right-wing radio. Give it an hour. And you'll hear the accusations and sophistry.
I did hear our local hillbilly preacher use his radio show to ascribe school shootings to hippy parents who taught their children nihilism. Logic says this was exactly opposite of what hippyism was all about, but this man wouldn't recognize logic if he came home and found it fucking his wife. I'm tempted to contact the man and suggest he use his daily Prayer Time slot for, well, prayer, but he's playing to his elderly frightened audience convinced we live in the end times. And I'm sure his accusations will lead to requests for money.

UAE Cost of Living Spreadsheet 2006
It is not meant to be a work of genius, just something useful to make transitions to this country that much easier. I remember when first came over to the UAE, and the Economist didn't cover Dubai as part of their Big Mac Index.
Please feel free to share with anyone you feel may find the information useful. And also, if you have any corrections or ammendments, I would welcome those as well.

Holy ****, have you got a life? Why would you do that? Saying that, it needed to be done, so good on ya. I'd maybe add the cost of purchasing certain new and used cars. But great idea! Now have some rest!!

Hey GrapeShisha,

Great to see some written numbers regarding the cost of living in Dubai. I wish we could even get ballpark figures of rental prices in various areas of dubai. No doubt that it is the most important figure for expats wishing to move to dubai. Area wise rentals would be a good place to start. On a related note, is there any government/private website where one could statical information? Like consumer reports?

Yesterday we finished up some Christmas shopping. And then we felt inspired to go out to lunch. We were down by N. County Fair, and there's a Macaroni Grill there. I've only been once, nearly 10 years ago, and liked it a lot. D has never been.
"We should treat ourselves!" I said. We don't get to Escondido that often, so it was our chance to sample authentic chain food!
Anyway, for those of you that don't know, Lucy has had major problems processing dairy in the past. I eat a cube of cheese and she doesn't sleep for one night. So I avoid milk/cream/cheese like the plague.
I'm not sure why Ithought Big Chain Italian would be good for someone avoiding a staple ingredient. But I thought--surely I can just get the cheese on the side--with pasta, or something. Italian bread is usually dairy-free, from my experience at Trader Joes.
After our nice waiter guy set a steaming loaf of rosemary bread on our table, I told him I had a dairy allergy, then asked, with naivete, which of two (seemingly dairy-free) entrees I could get.
(And no, I don't have a dairy allergy; not even, really, dairy intolerance. My daughter does. But it's hard to explain the mechanics of breastfeeding/food intolerances on the fly in a restaurant to a 20-year-old guy.)
He went to check with the kitchen, and came back with bad news. "My manager says there's really nothing I can recommend except for this salmon dish and this chicken dish.
They were the two options marked "sensible choices" that I'd been ridiculing a moment before. Who wants sensible choices (ie: dry, flavorless pap) at Big Chain Italian?
"What about this bread?" D asked.
"No, not the bread, either," he said. "Butter, you know."
I ordered some soup and salad, which they left the dairy off of.
And then the bread was calling to me.
Dyami told me it couldn't possibliy be enough to get to Lucy.
And then Lucy grabbed a chunk of the bread and ate it.
So I tore off a hunk and enjoyed myself.
Of course, the waiter guy chose that moment to come back and ask me whether I wanted my soup and salad served together.
I had to answer him with a big chunk of bread in my mouth. Bread I'd told him I couldn't have.
This is when I appreciate the "Smile a-nd nod" customer service. But I'm sure he was back at the drinks station saying, "See, these food allergy people, they're so full of crap!"
Sorry, waiter guy.
