Many articles
of interest for you...
we do not have a Printed Catalog.
NOTE: We do not provide Samples of items
NOTE: The supply and availability of beads is very variable. Please make note of this when you are planning any project! Also MAKE NOTE and REALIZE that the exact color and size of many beads also varies, sometimes considerably, from production lot to production lot. Just because you ordered 100 navy blue oval beads in June, don't assume that when you re-order, that the navy blue color will be exact, or the size will be exact.
Also, don't assume that the same color will still be available when you order next -- even with a basic color like 'black'.
Also in your planning, assume that the variability of size/color/shape in any lot of hand-crafted beads will also have considerable variability.
Don't hesitate, when planning a project, or ordering from us, to ask us questions about supply and availability of beads. We'll do our best to find answers and options for you. This may mean having to modify your design plans somewhat, or for us to find an alternative, though sometimes higher cost, supplier. It may also mean buying your key beads or other parts and findings in larger quantities. At Land of Odds, we are all too familiar with the trials, tribulations and joys of jewelry design. We'll work closely with you.
If you are ordering SEVERAL ITEMS WHICH YOU MUST HAVE "ALL OR NONE", then please email or notify us of this fact when you place your order. Normally, we ship what is available, and out-of-stock the rest. We do not typically call or email about what is unavailable, unless specifically requested to do so..
We cannot be responsible for the color of dyed stones.
Listed weights and sizes for cast jewelry and beads pieces are approximate.
Please be aware that the colors of images you see on your screen may differ from the true colors of any item offered for sale. We do our best to see that there is as little distortion from the true colors as possible, but different browsers and different computer graphics hard- and soft-ware do many different things with colors. Even when switching between Netscape, Internet Explorer and AOL, some colors will vary considerably, some will vary a little, and others won't vary at all.

The Western Michigan University men's basketball team has not only gotten off to a strong 6-2 start but the strong individual play of their starting center has already earned him two individual awards.
Shayne Whittington was named Mid American Conference Player of the Week on Monday by the website College Sports Madness only to be named MAC West Player of the Week the very next day by the conference.
Whittington's play has noticeably improved over last year's, a fact he attributes to a lot of time in the gym.
"The player is made in the off season not during the season," said Whittington. "So the work that all of us put in over the summer is where that's kind of come from."
Whittington, a Paw Paw, Mich. native, was pleased when he found out he had won the individual awards, but said that everyone on the court had a specific role to play and he was just trying to play his the best he could.
"We work pretty well together, were all pretty in sync," said Whittington.
Head Coach Steve Hawkins has lead Whittington and the Broncos to one of their best starts in years and credits some of that to the improved play of his starting center.
"He's developed tremendously from last year to this year, and I think that, you know, him starting now and getting the kind of minutes that he's getting, he's getting more and more comfortable on the floor with every game," said Hawkins.
Whittington's offense has not gone unnoticed this year as he is the team's fourth leading scorer averaging 9.1 points per game. He also leads the team in rebounds pulling down 8.3 per game. It is his 12 blocks so far this season, and his play on defense that Hawkins thinks is what has set Whittington apart.
"Defensively is where he really helps us," said Hawkins. "He's a great backline defender, he's a good post defensive player, you know, if teams do drive the ball they got to deal with him back there at the back of it, so, he's been a great player defensively and offensively and he's still developing, you know, which is a good thing."
Hawkins said that while individual accolades are great for the players, as a coach he is after the kind of awards they give to whole teams. However, he said it is not out of the question for opposing teams to try to use awards like Whittington won to their advantage.
"Sometimes coaches on the other team will use it as fodder, you know, 'hey he was the MAC Player of the Week'… to try and motivate their own players," said Hawkins.
The Broncos second loss of the season came Tuesday against the University of Michigan Wolverines. In the game Whittington got two early fouls and had his minutes reduced in the first half. While both he and Hawkins said this did have some impact on the game, according to them it was not the reason for the loss to what they both said was a strong Wolverine team.
Whittington and the rest of the Broncos will look to improve their record this Saturday as they go on the road to play Illinois State University in Bloomington, Ill. at 8 p.m.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets, Financial
On November 15, 2013, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. ("Parent") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Altisource Solutions S.ŕ r.l. (the "Purchaser"), completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Equator, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Equator"), pursuant to the previously reported Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of August 19, 2013 (the "Purchase Agreement") by and among Parent, the Purchaser, Christopher L. Saitta, Mark A. McKinley and various trusts created by and for the benefit of Saitta's and McKinley's families (collectively, the "Sellers").
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser paid approximately $63.1 million at closing in cash (net of closing working capital adjustments), subject to certain post-closing adjustments based on current assets and current liabilities of Equator at closing, to be settled within 90 days of the closing date. Additionally, the Purchase Agreement provides for the payment of up to $80.0 million in potential additional consideration (the "Earn Out"). The Earn Out consideration is determined based on Equator Adjusted EBITA (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in the three consecutive 12-month periods following closing. Up to $22.5 million of the Earn Out consideration can be earned in each of the first two 12-month periods, and up to $35.0 million can be earned in the third 12-month period. The Purchaser may, in its discretion, pay up to 20% of each payment of any Earn Out consideration in shares of Parent restricted stock, with the balance to be paid in cash.

A., Ginting and C. H., Che Haron and H., Arshad (2004) Performance of Carbide Tools in Green Machining of Ti-6242S. Pertanika Journal of Science & Technology, 12 (2). pp. 101-112. ISSN 0128-7680
The performance of the off-center ball end mill carbide tools: alloyed uncoated (W-Ti/ Ta/ b)C-Co (tool A) and multiplayer, PVD-<oated (WC-Co) (TiCN/TiAlN/TiN) (tool B) with nominal diameter of 16 mm when end milling titanium alloy Ti-6%Al-2%Sn-4%Zr2% Mo-O.08%Si (Ti-6242S) under green machining condition is reported in this paper. Results from the machining trials show that localised flank wear (VB») is the dominant failure mode for both tools due to the concentration of coupled thermo-mechanical load at the tool leading edge. After machining for approximately 20 minutes, tools A and B start to reach VB) ~ 0.3 mm when used at a cutting speed of 100 m/min and a feed of 0.15 mm/tooth. Further examination using SEM/EDAX shows that flank wear, rake wear, plastic deformation and brittle fracture are other failure modes suffered by the tools because of adhesion (attrition) and dissolution diffusion wear mechanisms. In conclusion, tools A and B can be recommended for green milling of Ti-6242S with the best compromise between cutting speed and tool life being given by end milling at cutting speeds of 100-125 m/min. At cutting speeds and feeds of 0.15-0.2 mm/tooth, axial depth-of-cut 2-2.5 mm and radial depth-of-cut of 8.8 mm, tool life of tools A and B can be represented by mathematical models T V°.30 /,0.89 a 0.84 = 74.851 and T V020 /,0.22 a.o.Jo ~ 137.710, respectively.

I keep having to adjust my weightloss goal due to plateaus, and every time, I adjust it to the *closest* to my original goal that Sparkpeople will allow me. I think 'Oh, and I'll just do a bit of extra exercise and I'll catch up' - even though I *know* this only works so far. It gets me trapped in places where I'm exercising like a crazy person or under-eating, both of which ultimately hamper my goals. And yet I've done it a few times over the past year.
Over the past year, I've made more progress towards a healthy weight than I have in decades, far more than I ever expected to see. But once it started coming off, I got greedy. I fixated on achieving a certain point as though then I could point to it and say 'there, I did it, are you happy now?' I desperately wanted to have lost 100 pounds by the end of 2013. (Although in the back of my head, I *really* wanted to lose 108 and get down to a healthy BMI. Still by the end of the year - as though that arbitrary calendar milestone was the key. Not the achievement itself.)
Today at my weigh-in, my weight didn't shift at all, and I was so disappointed. I'd been working hard, I'd been tracking ... I felt robbed, again. I blamed my boss and the staff lunch we'd all had. I blamed myself for not working out hard enough last weekend, even though I had a fantastic weekend, really enjoyed myself, and made great progress towards another major goal of mine. There may even have been some frustrated tears ....
And then I remembered how damn far I've come in the past year. How much more I know about nutrition and health. How instead of being the one pulled reluctantly off the couch I'm now the one suggesting a walk to my friends. How I go to the gym every morning before sunrise because I want to be stronger ... and I decided to suck it up, face reality, and stop crying about it.
I thought about the next 6 weeks, realistically. My birthday. My best friend's birthday and the birthday of another close friend. The whole Yule season, with its staff parties, family gatherings, bake sales, and all the other roadblocks to healthy eating. The days when I won't be able to fit in the gym, or it'll be closed. The trip my best friend and I are planning to take to Orlando.... Almost all of these are things I should enjoy, moments to savour with friends and family - or unavoidable obligations - and I didn't want to be begrudging every bite or bemoaning every lost moment.
So I've adjusted my goal for the end of the year once again, but this time it's to accommodate a much slower weightloss goal. (Slightly less than a pound a week ... not quite a maintenance diet, but it looks far more comfortable and achievable.) And I adjusted my fitness tracker calories burned to assume I go to the gym one day less a week, because that's far more likely than the alternative. And I breathed a sigh of relief.
Do I still want to lose the total 108? Not even a question, but there was no healthy way I was really going to lose 30 pounds in the next 6 weeks (or even the 18 that was my 'adjusted goal'). Can I ramp back up in January instead? Obviously, yes.
I need to get back into my early mindset, where the goal was - IS - to establish a good quality of life. If I'm too busy losing weight to enjoy celebrations with my friends, then I'm not doing that. Throughout the holiday season, I'll still be tracking, still be exercising, and I'll still use the tools I've learned through Sparkpeople to make the healthiest decisions possible. But I think that, for me, the next six weeks are going to be maintenance, small loss, rather than 'DO IT NOW".
Hopefully, a bit of a rest from the pressure will mean renewed energy in the new year.
One thing I've really come to appreciate about sparkpeople is that it's not entirely about weightloss. It's about overall health and well-being. Any goal we want to achieve, we can approach using SparkPeople's tools and system, and have a decent chance of reaching that goal. This blog isn't really for me; it's for a friend of mine who is considering starting up her own business, and needs a helping hand getting things going.
My friend - call her Aurora, she's always liked the name - is a Canadian dance instructor, in the process of achieving her Royal Academy of Dance certification to enter students into exams. She also teaches pilates. In both jobs, due to her present training, she's had days where she had to find substitute teachers for her classes, or to cancel classes if she couldn't find substitutes. And that's where her idea comes in. I don't have all the technical details, but she's hit on a way that should help fitness and dance instructors more easily cover their classes. Right now she's doing a feasibility study, and she needs a few more people to fill out her survey before she can proceed.
The people I've met here are helpful, good natured, and thoughtful. So when she began to tell me about the difficulty she's had in getting the last 25 instructors she needs to call the survey complete, I immediately thought of the Sparkpeople community. Aurora has tapped all her resources in her hometown and called on all the other instructors she knows, but she needs a bit more feedback before she can call it complete. If you're a Canadian fitness, or dance, teacher - or if you own a dance studio or gym in Canada - it would be amazingly helpful if you could pop over to www.grapevyne.ca and fill out the survey. It'll only take a few minutes, and you'll be helping out a very good friend of mine. You'll also be entered to win a $25 amazon.ca gift card.
If you're not an instructor yourself, I figure the odds are good you know one or more. Do you think you can mention www.grapevyne.ca to them? It'll help a good person get one step closer to achieving one of her goals!
When I joined Sparkpeople one year ago today, it was only for the food tracker - I wasn't planning to change my diet, I just wanted to have a convenient place to keep track of what I ate because my doctor was concerned. I wasn't planning to get *any* more exercise than walking to and from work would give me, either. Although I *wanted* to lose weight, I didn't have any kind of defined goal, and I wouldn't have admitted to most people that I was anything less-than-comfortable as a 5'2", 238-pound woman. Admitting it would have been giving in, somehow.
One of the very first things that happened was that my nutrition tracker showed I wasn't eating enough. (And what I was eating was mostly crap, but I'll get to that.) I bumped that up, because I'd have been incredibly depressed to be a fat anorexic (no offence to anyone who suffers from this eating disorder intended), and that was how my average meals would look. (Think a can of Coke for breakfast, another for lunch with two slices of pizza, and a small TV dinner for supper - net calories something like 900, and nutritional value pretty much zilch). It was alarming, and I knew I needed to change something - to eat better.
I started cooking at least one proper meal a day - usually supper - and since there were the protein/carb/fat target numbers, I tried to at least get a bit closer to hitting those. I felt a bit better, but didn't pay much attention beyond that.
Around that time, I had to shift the walk I usually took to work (a straight point-to-point line) to one that was longer, because there just wasn't enough daylight. I didn't want to be walking alone in the dark, I needed well-lit streets ... I started going a bit further, twice a day.
I didn't define a goal until after Thanksgiving 2012. (I'm Canadian, so this was in early October - about a month after I joined). At Thanksgiving dinner, I got into an argument with a woman who was insisting stomach stapling was 'the only reasonable way' to lose 100 pounds within a year. That night, I went back home and defined a target: lose 100 pounds by October 2013. I didn't tell anyone except the people here, because I'd tried to 'diet' before, and failed, and I didn't want a public failure.
Now I had a goal, and the target was *just* within reach. If I worked for it. I still had to eat more than I had been (though not as much as I would have needed for maintenance of my 200+ body). I found a mileage-tracking app and began to track my daily walks.
Every change I made was gradual. I went a little further in my walks, then tried to walk a bit faster. I made drinking more water and fewer sodas a priority (which meant I needed to eat *yet more* real food). And the pounds started to come off - not at the smooth 2-lbs-a-week rate I'd hoped, but also not at the 'no matter what I do, nothing changes' rate I'd seen before.
One year on Sparkpeople has not caused me to lose 100 pounds (even if I define that as next month's target, I won't reach that goal). But I have lost 68 pounds as of last week's weigh-in. I've dropped nearly 8 sizes in my clothing. And I have a lot more energy.
My 2 km walk to work has become an 8-10K walk/jog each morning (I still take the direct route home in the morning). Even while on vacation, I found myself restless when I didn't get some exercise in, and I ended up seeking it out. I haven't had a can of soda since last January, and I don't even miss them any more, when I used to be a caffeine addict! I regularly get 5-7 servings of veggies and fruits every day. ... when I look at my habits now compared to what they were a year ago, I don't really recognize myself.
Yes, I'm not at my goal yet. I believe I can reach it, now - I just need to be patient and keep plugging. There have been frustrations - the month where I didn't lose a single pound, despite doing the same level of activity and eating, for example - and fears - the loss of self that comes with significant change. But it's never been impossible, and I've never felt like giving up.
I don't know where I'll be this time next year. But if things keep going the way they are, I'll probably be running marathons or something equally unthinkable.
Since I joined SparkPeople, I've lost 40 lbs. And on Saturday, when I saw that scale read UNDER 200 lbs (for the first time in over a decade), I was delighted. Absolutely delirious with joy. 10 lbs more lost will put me at the weight I was when I graduated high-school (and half-way to my goal of a healthy weight). I'm well on target, and a lot of these healthy habits are becoming automatic.
So, naturally, on Saturday & Sunday I went over my calorie goal. On Sunday I didn't even exercise. My mood dropped dramatically on Sunday, too, and I realized that my big *win* - which it still is - has put me in a strange emotional place. During my walk this morning, I realized ... I'm terrified.
Not because I don't think I'll reach my goal - I know I have the tools and determination to reach my healthy goal weight. But my mental picture of myself is slipping, and that's disturbing. I've been the funny fat girl for a really long time, and that's all a lot of people have ever seen. Who am I if I let go of that social identity?
In a strange way, my weight has protected me. Certainly, society likes to criticize heavy people, and there's a lot of judgement and size-shaming ... and yet, the amount of bullying I faced in high school decreased as my weight increased. I'm intelligent and introverted - when I *looked* the same, more or less, as everyone else, those were the aspects the bullies attacked. Those were personal, aggressive assaults on my self-identity. Compared to that, a bit of shoving and a few names about my size were trivial and easy to overlook. I built my armour a bag of chips at a time.
Now I realize I'm in the process of taking off that armour, and it's hit me how vulnerable that can make me. Instead of being inside this 'fat suit' of protective padding, it's starting to be me facing the world, and that really frightens me.
I'm hoping that some of my SparkFriends will be able to offer advice, suggestions, or other ways to deal with this fear, because I don't want this to derail me.

NASA has unveiled two new flight initiatives from the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia that will allow students and teachers to interact with administration scientists and engineers.
The Wallops Rocket Academy for Teachers and Students will reinforce STEM concepts by participating virtually or in person in experiences based on NASA's sounding rocket engineering and science data collection.
WRATS will also include interactive online data and teacher resources for integrating the data into classroom lessons on physics and engineering.
Participants in other NASA education projects will also be selected to participate in a Wallops rocketry flight week June 19-24, where they'll learn about the dynamics of launch and safe flight operations and watch a NASA Terrier-Orion sounding rocket liftoff.
The second initiative, the Wallops Balloon Experience for Educators, will also select participants from other NASA education projects.
In July, WBEE teams of high school teachers will visit the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in Palestine, TX for a weeklong workshop with balloon science activities and the opportunity to build and test their own science payload. The payloads will then be launched to the edge of space by NASA and Louisiana Space Consortium personel.
Further information about the programs is available on NASA's education portal, which can be accessed here.

SEATTLE, WASH. – January 18, 2013 – Northwest law firm Foster Pepper PLLC's Public Finance practice has ranked first in the U.S. having served as bond counsel in connection with the competitive offering of more municipal bonds than any other firm in the nation, with 27 issues at $4.3 billion for the full 2012 year, according to the Thomson Reuters annual rankings.

"We have a strong group of bond lawyers and tax lawyers practicing in public finance sector, and a historical commitment to the Northwest that sets us apart from other law firms of any size."

Lotto Jackpot Won Five Times Over
The final Lotto jackpot of June was landed by not one or two but five winning tickets. Fortunately the jackpot had rolled over from the midweek draw last Wednesday, so it was worth £6,764,295, which was enough to give each winning ticket a millionaire-making value of £1,352,859. The Lotto results for Saturday 30 June were 01, 18, 19, 24, 30 and 38, with the number 41 being selected as the Bonus Ball. Now that the jackpot has been landed (five times over!) the next Lotto jackpot this Wednesday will be worth around £2.2 million.
There were 549,453 other winning tickets in the Saturday Lotto game. 521,820 of those tickets landed the smallest consolation prize of £10 by matching three main numbers, 27,160 tickets matched four main numbers to win £66 each and 461 tickets matched five main numbers to win £1,774 each. The biggest consolation prizes of all went to the owners of the eight tickets that matched five main numbers and the Bonus Ball, and each of those tickets won £163,600.
Coincidentally, the Health Lottery game on Saturday also saw five tickets match all of the numbers (01, 06, 13, 19 and 23) to win the top prize of £100,000 each. More than 15,200 other players matched four or three numbers to win £500 or £50 each.
The main numbers drawn in the EuroMillions game on Friday 29 June were 14, 17, 28, 29 and 39, and the Lucky Star numbers were 01 and 11. The jackpot was worth £26.9 million but no ticket matched all of the numbers required to win it, so there will be a triple-rollover jackpot of around £32 million in the midweek Lotto game this Wednesday.
Although the jackpot eluded players everywhere, five EuroMillions tickets matched the five main numbers and one Lucky Star to win £242,313 each. Another 19 tickets won a third-tier prize of £21,255 each by matching five main numbers only, and more than 2.95 million other tickets won prizes at the fourth-tier and below. The Millionaire Raffle number on Friday was STQ827960, so the EuroMillions ticket showing that number is now worth £1 million.
As you can see, there were plenty of lottery prizes won last Friday and Saturday, and we expect that plenty more will be won this week. Buy your lottery tickets online for the £32 million EuroMillions game on Tuesday and for the £2.2 million Lotto game on Wednesday, and good luck with your numbers!

This is the first part of a 'making of' series for ZombiU with commentary from the game's executive producer Guillaume Brunier. One of the things that confused a lot of people at E3 (including myself) was how the Wii U GamePad was actually used when playing ZombiU.
It looked very unusual, at some points it was being used as a radar, other times it was suddenly the inventory menu, etc. But in this video, Brunier talks a little more about these features, why he felt that they effectively enhance the experience of ZombiU as a survival horror game, and why the Wii U would be the best platform for this type of game.

S E A R C H D V D B e a v e r
Directed by Donald Cammell and
Roeg's debut as a director is a virtuoso juggling act which manipulates its visual and verbal imagery so cunningly that the borderline between reality and fantasy is gradually eliminated. The first half-hour is straight thriller enough to suggest a Kray Bros documentary as Fox, enforcer for a London protection racket, goes about his work with such relish that he involves the gang in a murder and has to hide from retribution in a Notting Hill basement. There, waiting to escape abroad, he becomes involved with a fading pop star (Jagger) brooding in exile over the loss of his powers of incantation. In what might be described (to borrow from Kenneth Anger) as an invocation to his demon brother, the pop star recognizes his lost power lurking in the blind impulse to violence of his visitor, and so teases and torments him with drug-induced psychedelics that the latter responds in the only way he knows how: by rewarding one mind-blowing with another, at gunpoint. Ideas in profusion here about power and persuasion and performance ('The only performance that makes it, that makes it all the way, is one that achieves madness'); and the latter half becomes one of Roeg's most complex visual kaleidoscopes as pop star and enforcer coalesce in a marriage of heaven and hell (or underworld and underground) where the common denominator is Big Business.

re: the opening sequence.
For the most part the image is impressive. Sharp, muted colors on a dual-layered, progressive, anamorphically transferred disc. Some scenes look a shade more saturated to me, but I'm sure this is how it appeared theatrically as well. Only English subtitles are offered and the disc is coded for regions 1 through 4 in the NTSC standard.
Supplements feature a 5 minute vintage featurette (basically a long advert) entitled 'Memo From Turner' and a new one entitled 'Influence and Controversy', clocking in at about 25 minutes. It has Colin McCabe (Prof at Pittsburgh University), Sandford Lieberson (the film's Producer), David Cammel (the Associate Producer) and Anita Pallenberg (the character of Pherber) discussing the very casual drug culture of the 60's including the 'Swinging London' films produced at that time and Mick Jagger's initial big screen debut. It is quite good as an overview of the era but could have been much longer. There is also a theatrical trailer.
The film is certainly unique and groundbreaking and many fans have been waiting a long while for it to hit DVD. It certainly has some memorable scenes that are quite thought-provoking in retrospect. The DVD is reasonably priced by Warner.

The Roundabout Way to Safety and Saving
Posted By John Latta On January 22, 2013 @ 5:36 pm In The Roadologist | No Comments
For older drivers it seems roundabouts may be the optimal intersection design. Apparently for most age groups, surprisingly even for the impatient driver of any age.
Less accidents, more traffic flow. This from a University of Maine study which also found that, wait for it, a driver who travels straight through 10 similar roundabouts daily versus 10 signalized intersections would annually save 14 gallons of gas. If every licensed driver in the country did the same, the university says 2.7 billion gallons of gas would be saved annually.
The University of Maine study shows a decrease in accidents at a intersection that had a poor record, and that roundabouts can work even nears schools or retirement communities. There is other research that gives us similar results. The evidence builds.

Assistant Professor
Microbiology and Molecular Genetics & Cancer Center
Medical College of Wisconsin
Research Focus: Immune regulation mediated by negative checkpoint regulators; Cancer immunotherapy
PhD: Dartmouth Medical School (2003) Biochemistry
The adaptive immune response requires T cells being stimulated by antigen presenting cells (APC) that present the cognate antigens. The antigen presentation process is highly regulated by a number of co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules. Their integrated outcomes determine T cell activation, differentiation, and function.
The B7 family co-signaling molecules belong to the Ig superfamily.
Among them, co-stimulatory receptors, such as CD28 and ICOS, provide critical co-stimulatory signals that are required for T cell activation. On the other hand, co-inhibitory receptors, such as CTLA4, PD1, and orphan ligands such as B7H3 and B7H4, down-regulate TCR signaling and T cell responses. These co-inhibitory molecules are collectively called "immune-checkpoint regulators". They play critical roles in maintaining peripheral tolerance, control autoimmunity, and immune responses against infection and cancer.
Wang Lab recently discovered a novel immune-checkpoint molecule, called V-domain Immunoglobulin Suppression of T cell Activation (VISTA). Our first study has established that VISTA engages an unknown receptor on T cells to directly suppress T cell activation (J Exp Med, 2011, 208(3):577-92).
We believe that similar to other immune checkpoint regulators such as CTLA-4 and PD-1, VISTA critically regulates immune responses against self and foreign antigens. As such, targeting VISTA is a promising approach for treating autoimmunity, infectious disease and cancer.
Specifically, we ask these questions:
VISTA blocking antibody synergizes with a tumor vaccine

I have been very busy – March is officially my crazy month. I spent 3 days on the showroom floor at the Chicago Housewares Show – that is why I am posting so late. Last week started great – I had 3 mid- day walks, and one Zumba workout, however, getting ready for the show crumbled my second half of the week. Once I got to the show – it was all sandwich-pizza and chips diet. I swear the only choice is what gets delivered to the booth. Well, I am not sure how long it will take for me to get back in a saddle. Hopefully soon
Mamavation asks: "What food did you think was good, but discovered that it's not?"
When flavored water first came on the market, I was thrilled – I can drink my water that tastes good. Couple weeks later I actually read what the label said – "Oh no, THEY DIDN'T" Thank You very much dear scientists for tricking me into believing a list of unreadble ingredients is a healthy thing.
This post is sponsored by Mamavation – a community dedicated to obesity prevention & weight loss for women and I'm writing this to be entered into a giveaway

Something is coming, looming on the horizon… I think I can see it…
I can't believe the semester is nearly over! Where'd all my time
go? I have projects to finish, extra credit assignments to kick butt with, homework that's late– and I don't want to do any of it. All of those projects have got me spending more time in the library, and whenever I pass through there, well, I can't not look at the student choices on books. Its gotten to the point where I've got eight library books at home with me now, right alongside my netbook and my new PS3. A world of distractions, all on its own! Who wants to study when they can become the ultimate assassin? Or when they can lose themselves in book after book after book? NOT ME, that's for sure! But like the saying goes: no pain, no gain. Its only two weeks, after all. Which means its time for me to hide that PS3 controller and stack them books on my desk. My textbooks can be my new bed-mates, for extra-easy studying access. Because as much as I want to chill out and have fun, that's what winter break is for. My grades are more important; can't get a degree without good grades!
Here's to all those delightful distractions we like to lose ourselves in! What are some ways you keep yourself focused on school work? Share your strategies with us in an email to firstname.lastname@example.com!
