Our laboratory focuses on transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß) superfamily signal transduction pathways, and specifically, the role of these pathways in cancer biology. The TGF-ß superfamily is comprised of a number of polypeptide growth factors, including TGF-βs, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and activin) that regulate growth, differentiation and morphogenesis in a cell and context specific manner. TGF-ß and the TGF-ß signaling pathway have a dichotomous role in cancer biology, as both tumor-suppressor genes (presumably as regulators of cellular proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis) and as tumor promoters (presumably as regulators of cellular motility, adhesion, angiogenesis and the immune system). This dichotomy of TGF-ß function remains a fundamental problem in the field both in terms of understanding the mechanism of action of the TGF-ß pathway, and directly impacting our ability to target this pathway for the chemoprevention or treatment of human cancers. Resistance to the tumor suppressor effects of TGF-ß is also a common feature of epithelial-derived human cancers (breast, colon, lung, pancreatic, prostate), however, mechanisms for TGF-ß resistance remain undefined in the majority of cases. TGF-ß regulates cellular processes by binding to three high affinity cell surface receptors, the type I, type II, and type III receptors. Recent studies by our laboratory and others have established the type III TGF-ß receptor as a critical mediator/regulator of TGF-ß signaling. Specifically we have demonstrated that regulating type III TGF-ß receptor expression levels is sufficient to regulate TGF-ß signaling, and that decreased type III receptor expression is a common phenomenon in human cancers, resulting in cancer progression. The role of the type III TGF-ß receptor and type III TGF-ß receptor-interacting proteins in TGF-ß signaling and cancer biology and the epithelial to mesenchymal transition that occurs in human breast, colon and pancreatic cancers are currently being investigated using a multidisciplinary approach.
As endoglin and the type III TGF-ß receptors are both "co-receptors," a class of poorly understood cell surface receptors that bind ligand but are not thought to signal directly, another focus for the laboratory is es

There are plenty of talented dark skinned sisters looking to get signed up but just because he likes light skin chicks he want to sell that image to us. No thanks! He had beyonce and Rhi bleaching their skin and now he just blatantly want us to accept this chick as black? They should keep her ass in the UK where she is successful, we don't want it… No recipt needed.

DIAMONDS and THE 4Cs
Basic guide to diamond education & engagement rings
Diamond Buying Guide:
The Cheat Sheet
Formed deep within the earth when pure carbon (nature's simplest element) is overcome by intense heat and pressure, diamonds take millions to billions of years to form. Gradually, the carbon will crystallize and grow into a clear gemstone that will later be pushed to the earth's surface during volcanic eruptions -- when that happens, nature's hardest substance, a diamond, is born!
While it takes many lifetimes for nature to birth a diamond, most shoppers don't have that long to make decisions about buying diamonds. For these savvy individuals, our diamond purchasing guide will give you the tools you need to begin your hunt for the best deals!
Oh, and don't forget to look out for our shopping tips. Spread throughout the guide, these hints will showcase easy ways to save you money and maximize your budget.
The carat is the weight of a stone. Diamonds are weighed in metric carats, and one carat equals 0.2 grams (about the weight of a paperclip). Each carat has 100 points (so a 75-point diamond would weight 0.75 carats). Most diamonds used in fine jewelry are one carat or less. A diamond's development is slow and can take millions or billions of years. With this unhurried growth, the biggest diamonds are the rarest -- and therefore the priciest. For this reason, even a fraction of a difference in the carat size can dramatically change the price tag.
Shopping Tip: You can save money by choosing diamonds that just barely miss the next full carat mark (ex: 0.90 to 0.99 carats). The tiny difference will be almost impossible to see, but the savings can be amazing.
*** It's important to note that other stones of the same size may have different carat weights for diamonds. When comparing the visual size, you should ask for the dimensions in millimeters or inches.
*** Also be careful not to confuse "carat" (the stone's weight) with "karat" (the purity in gold).

Many diamond-purchasing newbies think the "cut" refers to the stone's shape, such as whether it's square or round. But the cut actually has to do with the diamond's proportions, polish, symmetry and how the facets are arranged on the stone.
Believed by many to be the most important of the four "Cs," the brilliance, scintillation and sparkle of a diamond depends mostly on how well it was cut. Basically, the better the diamond's cut, the better it will glisten in the light.Shopping Tip: Don't skimp on the cut. Top quality cuts ensure that nearly all of the light that enters the diamond is reflected back outward to the eye, creating the tantalizing flashes of light that diamonds are revered for.
The GIA diamond cut grading system gives diamond's a grade between Excellent to Poor. During the evaluation, jeweler's mainly look at three key features:
Brilliance (the total amount of light reflected from the stone)
Fire (the distribution of light into individual colors of the rainbow)
Scintillation (the flashes of light and sparkle that appear when the diamond is moved)Using these graded comparisons, even the most jewelry-clueless among us can figure out what cut characteristics are most important.
Grading The Cut
Parts of the Cut
Diamond cuts have several key parts. The classic and most common cut, a round brilliant-cut diamond will have 57 or 58 facets. Known as the cutlet, the 58th is optional and will include a tiny flat facet at the bottom of the pavilion. Cutting even one of these facets poorly will allow light to escape from the sides of the bottom of the stone, instead of allowing that glimmer to reflect back to your eye. Remember, the more light that reflects, the better your diamond will shine.
Also, a poorly cut stone may weaken the diamond and make it more likely to chip or break. And it may make it challenging for a jeweler to set the diamond, which could make it more likely to fall out of its setting.
Types of the Cut
The round brilliant cut is the most common cut used on diamonds. All others are called fancy cuts. Most of these can be put into four groups: modified brilliants, step cuts, mixed cuts and rose cuts.
Round or Brilliant: The classic, round cut is the most popular choice for diamonds because of its timeless aura and superior radiance to all others. This circular shape has 57 or 58 facets cut to mathematically perfected proportions.
Modified Brilliant: This category of fancy cuts has the most options for shapes, because it is very easy to alter the basic round into a variety of shapes. The number of facets and the arrangement is very similar to the round brilliant, resulting in cut with a great amount of sparkle and fire. Popular cuts include the marquise, heart, trillion, oval and pear shapes.
Step: Resembling tiny staircases, step-cut stones have either a square or rectangular form with facets placed parallel to the girdle. What these varieties lack in shimmer, they make up for by highlighting a stone's luster, color (or lack thereof) and clarity, as even the slightest flaw would be easily seen. Popular forms of this cut include the triangle (or trillion cut) and emerald (a type of rectangular cut).
Mixed: Born in the 1960s, mixed cuts are among the newest cuts. By combining elements from step and modified-brilliant cuts, the mixed cuts are increasingly popular because they feature the best traits in the two popular varieties. In most mixed versions, the top will be brilliant cut and the bottom will be step cut. It's a technique that wastes the least amount of the original stone while still maximizing the overall shimmer. The princess or square cut is the most popular choice here. This combination saves the weight and dimensions of step cuts, while giving the sparkle of brilliant cuts.
Rose: Created in the 16th century, the rose cut is rarely seen outside of antique jewelry. It's made with a flat bottom topped with several symmetrical, triangle shaped facets that rise to a point. Round, oval and hexagonal shapes were all once popular
Born from deep within the earth, nearly all natural diamonds usually have external blemishes or internal inclusions. Including scratches, dirt, random debris, air bubbles, cracks and chips, these imperfections often lower the value of diamonds. Flawless diamonds are extremely rare and pricey.
Shopping Tip: It' not always a bad thing to have a flawed diamond. Like a birthmark, these natural characteristics may help confirm ownership and differentiate between different stones. Just be sure to have an independent jeweler evaluate the stone to ensure it's not structurally weakened by the inclusion.
Also, grades F to SI impact the value, but not necessarily the clarity of the diamond. With the naked eye, you will be unable to see any inclusions.
All graded diamonds are given a GIA rank between flawless (FL) to obviously included (I3). This scale includes:
Grading The Clarity
The majority of diamonds are rated by the absence of color; obviously, the clearest diamonds have the highest worth. Exceptions are made for fancy-colored diamonds, like green, brown or yellow, which are evaluated outside this system for their intensity and evenness of color. Ranging from "D" (completely colorless) to "Z" (almost colorless); the closer a stone is to "D" the more rare and expensive it is. Diamond graders will compare the diamonds they are evaluating against a "master" stone of a known color to determine a grade.
To untrained individuals, the differences in color are usually miniscule. However, these tiny variations can make a difference in the quality, cost and rarity of a stone.
Shopping Tip: If buying mid-grade (or higher grade), clear diamonds, try setting them in white metal. The whiteness will reflect onto the diamond and back to the eye, making it appear whiter and brighter. This trick does not work well on the lower end of the scale.

MTV Movie Awards Suffered Without Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart
MTV, what were you thinking! Sure the 2013 MTV Movie Awards were good (sort of), but they were clearly lacking something. That something was R-Patz and K-Stew. I totally missed their cute awkwardness and their almost kisses. MTV, why did you diss your audience's favorite power couple?
Going into the 2013 MTV Movie Awards on Apr. 14, my expectations were already lowered because MTV shockingly decided to diss Breaking Dawn – Part 2, nominating the final movie in the Twilight saga for only one award – Taylor Lautner for Best Shirtless moment (I mean, really?). And watching the show my fears were confirmed — the MTV Movie Awards were totally lacking without the spice of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart!

The desk is perfect size, height & space for my son who is 6'4" & strong. Think linebacker :) This was a birthday present. He received it & was excited to put it together, but found that the holes drilled for the runners did not line up appropriately to allow smooth drawer action. Disappointing.
Product was packaged well, no damage upon arrival. There are some blemishes in the finish on the desk top, but nothing too bad. When assembling, take your time and pay attention to the drawings. Some drawer parts were mislabeled! Also, use a carpenters square when putting the units together. If the main parts aren't square, the drawers don't close properly....in this case, you get what you pay for!
The desk looks nice aside from the drawers. They were impossible to assemble and are not functional. They are crooked and you can tell just by looking at them but I've taken so much time trying to figure out the problem that I've given up. Disappointed.
1. My unit was damaged when I received it. - A small dent on the top surface of the desk, which I didn't mind too much. - One of the drawer slide rollers was cracked in half so it doesn't work properly. 2. The file drawers do not fit hanging files. I use file folders with tabs so I can label my files. I think just about everyone does this. Anyway, the file drawers do not have enough clearance for those tabs to be sticking up above the top of the hanging file. I cannot put any of my files in either the desk or the file cabinet because the drawers won't close. This product literally does not do what it is designed for.
You will need almost a whole day to assemble these. I read alot of the reviews before buying. It's very sturdy, kind of a pain to assemble but for the price, well worth it. Looks nice, the file cabinet was perfect but the desk was scratched and not in that great of shape but not bad enough to send back. Very good buy for the price. Everything works, drawers glide fine. I would definately buy it again.
Awful piece. Holes did not line up correctly with dowels. Dowel was too long to fit tightly into holes so this file cabinet would not ever be able to be connected correctly. The pieces that were made of wood were sturdy and probably would look nice when assembled but because it would not stay together, i have to return it. There were many, many pieces with this file drawer and it will take a lot of patience to assemble. I do not believe it is worth your time or money.
I was so hesitant to buy because of the other reviews, but I absolutely love this desk. Husband put it together and said it wasn't too difficult. It looks just like the picture...a lovely espresso finish. Very stylish. Great value. Highly recommend it!
I liked this product and it's style. It came in fairly decent condition but one peice of the cart had a crack in it and there were scratches on multiple parts of the item. It is a great style and size but trouble with shipping. It also was very simple to put together. Took some time but not complicated as long as you read the directions.
Do not buy this desk and filing cabinet set. I am so disappointed and wish I could get my money back. First of all, Overstock sent the desk without the filing cabinet so we had to wait for it to arrive separately. Secondly, the desk came damaged with a VERY noticeable dent/hole in the top. I could have gotten over these details if the product was even remotely worth the money. The bars in the drawers that are supposed to hold up the folders do not stay up. When you are finally able to line up the bars into the holes long enough to put in file folders then you can't shut the drawer. Its ridiculously poor quality and now i'm stuck with a non-functioning desk and filing cabinet. The ONLY saving grace is that they are decent looking pieces. DO NOT BUY!!!
The furniture looks far more valuable than the purchase price would indicate. It arrived in very good condition and was very well packed. Assembly instructions were clear and easy to follow. It did take approximately 2.5 hours to assemble. We are completely satisfied.

Party Bluprints on the Road
Party Bluprints on the Road
We had been planning and preparing for our big event of the summer – finally, it was time to party. On August 5, Dawn and I, hosted one huge party at Stingaree Nightclub in San Diego. It's funny, you might think that planning an event across the country for 500+ guests is completely different from planning a party in your home – well, the logistics certainly are, but we stayed true to the essence of Party Bluprints, which is to design an experience to make your guests feel special.
The first thing we did was to send out fun invitations weeks in advance letting our guests know how excited we were for them to come to our private party - we incorporated the vibe of the party in the invites to set the tone right from the beginning. When guests arrived they were welcomed with a red carpet and photo opportunity on the Step & Repeat (Vera Sweeney and LTM channel leader Audrey Mcclelland; and Dawn and me).
Upon entering the club, guests were offered a signature cocktail (based on the Party Bluprints California Margarita), followed by a variety of dinner offerings.
They then rose to the rooftop to mingle with other guests and sponsors and enjoy the party music hand-selected by the DJ. As the sun was getting ready to set, Celebrity Chef Brian Malarkey, stood in the center of the rooftop beckoning everyone to gather round (see main picture to see the man in action). He welcomed all our guests, getting them all riled up for the evening's big announcement – an opportunity for a blogger to win a dream job. Needless to say, the announcement added more energy to the evening.
It was a fabulous night full of dining, dishing and dancing. A great amount of good spirit was generated atop that San Diego rooftop and floated off into the night as we all left with a smile on our face and skip in our step. Upon saying good night, we gifted our guests a bag full of goodies, of course our book, Plan to Party, was one of them.
Regardless of the venue and/or the amount of people, it's important to personalize your party so your guests feel you created this experience for them to enjoy. We used the same principles for this event as we do for home entertaining - Plan to Party illustrates the method behind our party planning so you can do it yourself.
Here are a few Party Bluprints Basics:
- Use your invitation to excite your guests and provide details on the theme, what to wear, etc.
- Make sure your space is comfortable for your guests.
- Welcome guests with a signature cocktail – have fun naming it to fit your celebration/theme.
- Plan a menu that allows your guests to eat well (consider vegetarian and gluten-free options).
- Handpick music to fit vibe.
- Thank your guests for coming and gift them a token remembrance of the party.
Lifetime Moms, thanks for supporting our big event!
Here are a few pics from the night. (Clockwise starting at upper left hand corner: LTM channel leader Stephanie Elie and friend; LTM channel leader Erika Lehmann; Dawn, me and Tonya Staab; LTM's Erika and Audrey tweeting and talking; rooftop mingling; giddy guest; rooftop dancing; outside Lifetime Moms party cabana; center – inside the LTM party cabana with temporary tattoo artists and tattoo "ees".)

Paul in Ephesus
1While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled through the interior of the province and arrived in Ephesus. There he found some disciples 2and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?"
"We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit," they answered.
3"Well, then, what kind of baptism did you receive?" Paul asked.
"The baptism of John," they answered.
4 # Mt 3.11Mk 1.478Lk 3.416Jn 1.2627 Paul said, "The baptism of John was for those who turned from their sins; and he told the people of Israel to believe in the one who was coming after him—that is, in Jesus."
5When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6Paul placed his hands on them, and the Holy Spirit came upon them; they spoke in strange tongues and also proclaimed God's message. 7They were about twelve men in all.
8Paul went into the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly with the people, holding discussions with them and trying to convince them about the Kingdom of God. 9But some of them were stubborn and would not believe, and before the whole group they said evil things about the Way of the Lord. So Paul left them and took the believers with him, and every day#19.9: Some manuscripts add from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. he held discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. 10This went on for two years, so that all the people who lived in the province of Asia, both Jews and Gentiles, heard the word of the Lord.
The Sons of Sceva
11God was performing unusual miracles through Paul. 12Even handkerchiefs and aprons he had used were taken to the sick, and their diseases were driven away, and the evil spirits would go out of them. 13Some Jews who traveled around and drove out evil spirits also tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus to do this. They said to the evil spirits, "I command you in the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches." 14Seven brothers, who were the sons of a Jewish High Priest named Sceva, were doing this.
15But the evil spirit said to them, "I know Jesus, and I know about Paul; but you—who are you?"
16The man who had the evil spirit in him attacked them with such violence that he overpowered them all. They ran away from his house, wounded and with their clothes torn off. 17All the Jews and Gentiles who lived in Ephesus heard about this; they were all filled with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was given greater honor. 18Many of the believers came, publicly admitting and revealing what they had done. 19Many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in public. They added up the price of the books, and the total came to fifty thousand silver coins.#19.19: silver coins: A silver coin was the daily wage of a rural worker (see Mt 20.2). 20In this powerful way the word of the Lord#19.19: In this … Lord; or And so, by the power of the Lord, the message. kept spreading and growing stronger.
The Riot in Ephesus
21After these things had happened, Paul made up his mind#19.21: Paul made up his mind; or Paul, led by the Spirit, decided. to travel through Macedonia and Achaia and go on to Jerusalem. "After I go there," he said, "I must also see Rome." 22So he sent Timothy and Erastus, two of his helpers, to Macedonia, while he spent more time in the province of Asia.
23It was at this time that there was serious trouble in Ephesus because of the Way of the Lord. 24A certain silversmith named Demetrius made silver models of the temple of the goddess Artemis, and his business brought a great deal of profit to the workers. 25So he called them all together with others whose work was like theirs and said to them, "Men, you know that our prosperity comes from this work. 26Now, you can see and hear for yourselves what this fellow Paul is doing. He says that hand-made gods are not gods at all, and he has succeeded in convincing many people, both here in Ephesus and in nearly the whole province of Asia. 27There is the danger, then, that this business of ours will get a bad name. Not only that, but there is also the danger that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will come to mean nothing and that her greatness will be destroyed—the goddess worshiped by everyone in Asia and in all the world!"
28As the crowd heard these words, they became furious and started shouting, "Great is Artemis of Ephesus!" 29The uproar spread throughout the whole city. The mob grabbed Gaius and Aristarchus, two Macedonians who were traveling with Paul, and rushed with them to the theater. 30Paul himself wanted to go before the crowd, but the believers would not let him. 31Some of the provincial authorities, who were his friends, also sent him a message begging him not to show himself in the theater. 32Meanwhile the whole meeting was in an uproar: some people were shouting one thing, others were shouting something else, because most of them did not even know why they had come together. 33Some of the people concluded that Alexander was responsible, since the Jews made him go up to the front. Then Alexander motioned with his hand for the people to be silent, and he tried to make a speech of defense. 34But when they recognized that he was a Jew, they all shouted together the same thing for two hours: "Great is Artemis of Ephesus!"
35At last the city clerk was able to calm the crowd. "Fellow Ephesians!" he said. "Everyone knows that the city of Ephesus is the keeper of the temple of the great Artemis and of the sacred stone that fell down from heaven. 36Nobody can deny these things. So then, you must calm down and not do anything reckless. 37You have brought these men here even though they have not robbed temples or said evil things about our goddess. 38If Demetrius and his workers have an accusation against anyone, we have the authorities and the regular days for court; charges can be made there. 39But if there is something more that you want, it will have to be settled in a legal meeting of citizens. 40For after what has happened today, there is the danger that we will be accused of a riot. There is no excuse for all this uproar, and we would not be able to give a good reason for it." 41After saying this, he dismissed the meeting.

Prior to his vote in favor of the historic Marriage Equality Act in June 2011, few would've thought anyone other than Roy McDonald would be the Republican candidate in today's 43rd Senate District race. But as our Matt Hunter reports, his loss in a razor thin GOP primary leaves two other candidates vying for his seat.
HALFMOON, N.Y. -- More than a month after narrowly winning a Republican primary over incumbent Roy McDonald, Kathy Marchione has reason to be optimistic.The longtime Saratoga County Clerk showed a 15-point lead over Democratic challenger Robin Andrews in last week's 43rd Senate District Siena College poll.
Marchione said, "We're excited about the outcome of the poll we heard this morning. We believe that our message is resonating with the people of the 43rd."
In that same Siena poll, McDonald -- who remains on the ballot on the Independence Party line despite choosing to not actively campaign after losing the GOP primary -- received 29 percent support; a full four points higher than Andrews.
"I'm actually really proud of how much we increased because six weeks ago nobody had heard my name, so we're making really great progress," Andrews said.
Despite what some would call an uphill climb, Claverack Town Supervisor Andrews remains confident. Not unlike her opponent, she's banking on her financial experience to get elected.
Andrews said, "The skills that I have as a budgeting and planning consultant where I like to do the number crunching, combined with my true love of public service seem to be what we need in government right now."
Marchione said, "When I left being a town supervisor, I had $1 million the bank, the same $1 million that was there when I started."
With a statewide unemployment rate near nine percent, jobs is the key issue in this race.
For Marchione, the solution starts with lower taxes and loosening regulations, while Andrews believes the key is focusing on the state's nanotech and agriculture industries.
Marchione said, "When you can start reducing taxes and get rid of regulations, and those will be my priorities, I think businesses will come back and businesses will start being able to expand."
Andrews said, "I think it makes our area very rich because of that diversity and because of the skills we have and the quality of life we can offer all around."
Despite appearing on the ballot, McDonald's chances of reclaiming his seat seem unlikely. That leaves two candidates who both believe they're ready for the job.

I will be speaking at PubCon about widgets on the Wonderful World Of Widgets session.
This will be my first officially "We Build Pages" speaking gig! For those of you who remember my adventures of last years PubCon you probably know that I do not like to be awake during the day, so if I have to be awake I might as well have some extraordinary things to say, which I will.
It will be a session worth watching for anyone who is considering getting into gadgets.
Before I joined Jim Boykin and We Build Pages I told Jim that I had to attend PubCon every year. PubCon is my "my time".
I might even unveil some secrets about the ongoing team building here at We Build Pages
I will also be at SMX East. Forward thinking marketers should attend the Enhanced Listings panel. Danny and Vannesa are showing their already all too clear smarts by having this session.
If you do not know about enhanced listings, you should. Enhanced listings are what I am probably most excited about in the search engine community, they are also the things I spend most of my thoughts on, and there are many exciting things going on. To get a flavor of them see my articles on…
Yahoo Search monkey:
Yahoo beats Google to Widgets in search results Yahoo Search Monkey Launch Party Search Monkey SEOmoz example
Google Subscribed Gadgets:
Google Gadgets in Search Results Google and Human Behavior
Microsoft WebSlices: (I know this isn't a enhancement per se, but it could be…)
Microsoft introduces Web Slices
I am working very hard to make We Build Pages the first major SEM firm to offer enhanced listings to their clients. We will be offinging alot more than link building very soon. Keep an eye on Jim's blog to stay updated on this.

Update: Forgot to add a comment on Derek McKenzie. It has now been included.
This post was originally going to be called "Blurtations about the 2 horse race" but it was decided that this was a better title. While this blogger didn't get the opportunity to eat lunch or have coffee with Higgins, he did have a "pseudo lunch" with her when she made her platform speech down at the Olympic Plaza. There are many points to be made from this event and from the election in general that a post to talk about it all was fitting.
1. A platform from Higgins, or at least something to hold onto: Expectations are pretty low so far when it comes to platform ideas. In the perceived two way race between Ric McIver and Barb Higgins, you're probably not expecting a lot in terms of platforms and policies. However, while many have criticized Higgins for a lack of a platform, she came out with at least a few (and very practical). She laid out 7 main goals, and gave the public at least a hint of a platform.
a) Financial Responsibility: One that was interesting to hear was the make [...]Read More

Posted January 26, 2013
This is the best oil-based finish I've ever used to both bring out the grain of the wood and leave the wood color looking natural. It doesn't yellow like polyurethane or varnish-type wipe-on finishes. One caveat: the finish left in the can has a short shelf-life {a couple of months}. It will eventually turn into a jelly-like mass which can't be restored with paint thinner to its original thin consistency. You can still use it in a thickened state as a wipe on/off finish, although it will be more time-consuming to work with. Bloxygen will slow down the gelling process, but won't stop it. Only buy it in small cans or as much as you think you will use in a couple of months.Also: when you use the finish on your wood project, wipe it off fast. It dries very quickly compared with other polyurethane and varnish finishes, and will start to grab at your wiping cloth if you don't get it off fast enough.

Posted January 21, 2013
I've used this product for years and recently the store that carried it went out of business. I found this available at Rockler and wanted to comment. I've used this on all the wood trim on our Jelwdwen windows and doors, and several pieces of furniture and it is better than any other product I've used. On occasion I use the foam brushes but my favorite are the cheese cloth covered foam pads. The finish goes on smooth and I don't get any smear or brush marks. I try to not use old finish since it tends to start to jell in the can. I do stir it until I get a smooth consistent liquid. I typically put three coats on window frames and doors, and five to six on furniture. I've never tried to spray it however.

After a lot of research and some pro advice, I attempted to finish an oak banister that had been stained with Varathane Dark Walnut. After 3 days of cure time, I did two separate test areas on the inside of the railing. It went on just fine. I moved to the outside of the railing and it stripped a huge swath of stain right off the wood. I followed the directions to the letter and didn't apply too much pressure. If you use Varathane stains, stay away from this stuff.

Posted December 8, 2012
Used this product for the first time & glad I did. So easy to wipe on & the results were spectacular!! No drips or runs and when it dries, it looks like its been sprayed on. Will not use anything else from now on.

Since the days of our Founding Fathers, the government has protected and encouraged public prayer and other expressions of dependence on the Almighty. Prayer is an indispensable part of our heritage, and as citizens, we must remain faithful in our commitment to intercede for our nation during this pivotal and challenging time.
Last year, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website] ruled [JURIST report] that a teacher-led recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools does not violate the Constitution's Establishment Clause. The court also upheld the use of the phrase "In God We Trust" on currency. In November 2009, the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit [official website] ruled that a school district's policy prohibiting the performance of religious holiday songs does not violate [JURIST report] the establishment clause. Also that month, a judge for the US District Court for the District of South Carolina [official website] ruled that license plates [JURIST report] produced by the state bearing a picture of a cross in front of a stained glass window and the words "I Believe" violate the Constitution.

Research Courses
The research courses prepare students for the dissertation phase of the program by helping them gain greater competence in information literacy - the art of knowing when one needs information, where to get it, how to access and evaluate it, and how to incorporate that information into one's work. Students meet face to face for the first two days of each face to face experience for DMIN 713, 723, and online for 743.
Customized Courses
The four customized courses are designed to give students greater flexibility to pursue subjects of interest to them. Each of the customized courses include three major elements:
- Learning Plans: Written up at the beginning of the module and approved by their faculty advisor, students propose a course of study for each module that includes a reading pool, conference, and essay thesis concentrated on their topic area.
- Field Research: Students design a field research experience that supports their personal research interests. Faculty advisor approval is required.
- Essays: Students produce a 4,000-word academic essay at the end of semester.
Students select an area they wish to research over the first two years of the program that focuses on their particular ministry context. On the basis of their chosen topic, a faculty advisor is assigned to students during the orientation advance who supervises and evaluates their work for these courses.
Students utilize the four customized courses to explore more deeply the area of specialization with a view to becoming a "cohort expert" in this area. In the group interaction, they then serve as a resource to the rest of the cohort. The research associated with the customized courses also serves as a foundation for the research related to their dissertations.
Courses Taught by the Lead Mentor
Dr. Clark's courses consist of directed readings and student-organized interaction that fosters and resources students exploration of their own research interests, within both their global and local leadership contexts. These courses generally include the following elements:
- Reading: Dr. Clark provides a reading list and schedule of books, articles, and websites for students to explore and discuss.
- Innovative research methodologies: Dr. Clark exposes students to innovative research methodologies, such as visual ethnography.
- Asynchronous discussion: Students discuss online the assigned course materials throughout each week using various social media tools in conjunction with the dminlgp group blog space.
- Chat: Students meet once a week for synchronous chat. Dr. Clark facilitates the discussion.
- International advances: Students join Dr. Clark annually at various global locations to interact with scholars and leaders from faith-based, nonprofit organizations and churches who are making a difference in their context.

Don't Tell The Clowns: Robots Can Juggle
This is a disturbing video of a robot that can "juggle" two ping-pong balls using a paddle and a whole bunch of human-killing algorithms. I know the screencap looks like there might actually be four or five balls, but that's just because the little f***er is so damn fast. Accurate too. Now imagine if that were a knife instead of a ping-pong paddle -- he'd never miss your eye sockets!
Hit the jump for the robot in action. Unless you're a circus clown, in which case don't. Can't have any sad clowns killing themselves today. Also added an older video of a robot juggling a single ball, but in more of a traditional jugglin' fashion.
Thanks to asiantom, who once juggled three girlfriends before getting busted and his wiener nearly chopped off. And to Jeremy, who doesn't juggle anything but flaming swords because he's a traditionalist.
Did I say jiggling? Because I meant juggling. I'm just not gonna change the headline because I figured the sensationalism might attract some more traffic. "Like opening a nudey bar at the mall?" Exactly like opening a nudey bar at the mall. This is a robot that can juggle ... / Continue →

Note that once you've have clicked this, "Hide all specials from American Express" immediately changes to "Show all specials from American Express", so it is possible to immediately retract this decision and show all specials again. However, if you have clicked this button and then exited out of the specials screen, all of the Amex specials will be hidden in the app.
If you'd like to see these Specials again, do not fret--it is possible!
Simply visit www.foursquare.com on the web and go to your user settings. On the right side of the screen, click "Specials Partners". Here you will be able to click "Stop Hiding" for the Amex specials.

American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe has announced several new significant changes for the show in his ongoing effort to revive its flagging ratings.
Along with previously announced new judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez, several new elements will be introduced: Finalists will compete to see who can make the best music video, who can best promote themselves, and who does the best job at working with dancers and a band for an awards-show-type performance.

Also, the group of contestants will be smaller, dropping to 12 from 24.
"I didn't think [the top 24] were very good, I was bored with them by the time they got there," Lythgoe said.

The changes seem to reflect the show's producers' previously stated desire to create fully fledged artists along the lines of earlier winners Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, rather than some of the less distinctive winners of recent years.
As for Tyler — who was slammed by Kid Rock for joining the show — and Lopez, Lythgoe said, "They both listen intently, and don't make glib remarks. They give honest critiques."
