There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
In this essay, Godawa argues that the decreation language of a collapsing universe with falling stars and signs in the heavens was actually symbolic discourse about world-changing events and powers related to the end of the old covenant and the coming of the new covenant as God's "new world order." In this interpretation, predictions of the collapsing universe were figuratively fulfilled in the historic past of the first century.
If God has indeed created all things, pure scientific truth should never be a "problematic thing" for Christians. If anything, scientific truth enriches the faith as it reveals his majesty and provides Christians with a deeper understanding of God.
The first question for Wright is, "What do you think is the biggest misunderstanding that western 21st century evangelicals have about Jesus, and how does it stunt their understanding and witness?"
As a scientist, I find this song particularly compelling because not only is the science on which the song draws completely accurate, but the scientific understanding of the nature of the physical sun and moon is critical to how Groves plays out the metaphor.

Earlier tonight, Miss New York, Nina Davuluri, an Indian-American woman born in Syracuse, was crowned the winner of the 2014 Miss America Pageant. Idiot racists got so mad, they started mixing up Indian, Indian-American, Arab, Muslim, and everything in between. It's (literarily) a most impressive display of dumb mixed with intolerance and even more stupidity. USA! USA! USA!
I am literarily soo mad right now a ARAB�� won #MissAmerica

ESPN Twin Cities reports Percy Harvin and coach Leslie Frazier had yet another heated exchange that likely contributed to the receiver being placed on injured reserve earlier this month.
It's the third documented issue with Harvin and the organization since June. The exchange is believed to have begun in the training room and has fueled speculation that the "deteriorating" relationship between the two men could lead to Harvin's exit from Minnesota. Seeking a new contract and frustrated with the identity of the Vikings offense, Harvin briefly issued a trade request last offseason. The team will have to decide whether to offer him a long-term deal heavy on performance-based incentives and escalators or prepare to shop him in March and April. One NFL personnel man estimates that Harvin would draw a second- or third-round pick in a contract year.

"Oh, I WILL Take This on the Plane"
Some people are silly, I guess. Like this woman who tried to get on board a flight at Beijing Capital International Airport with a $200 bottle of Remy Martin XO Excellence cognac. When the airport security folks told her she'd have to leave it behind, she did what any logical human would do She drank the entire bottle. And got so drunk - fall-down drunk, in fact - that she wasn't allowed to board the fight. I guess she showed them, huh?

"See a Bus, Don't Move"
Deva Dalparto runs a web and YouTube site called MyLifeSuckers.com, dedicated to the moms of the world. But you don't have to be a mom, or even a parent, to enjoy the videos and blogs she posts. Her latest - just in time for Back to School Season - is "Bus, Don't Move," a parody of the 80s hit, "Bust a Move." It's pretty funny, and it also carries an important safety message to motorists: when you see a school bus, don't move.

Les Miserables = Less Miserable
You don't have to be a fan of Les Miserables - either the Broadway show or the movie - to appreciate this flash mob. The West Des Moines School District (in Iowa, of course) was holding its district-wide welcome to school meeting for teachers. And to put a little zest into the day, some teachers put together a teaching-oriented parody of one of the show's biggest ensemble pieces, "One Day More." At first, no one knew what was happening. But as more and more teachers stood up to sing their parts and join the others on stage, the rest of the audience really got into it. When it was done - and done quite well - the performers earned a standing ovation.

Ashley Madison, the TV Show?
One of the biggest data breaches going these days is the one involving AshleyMadison.com. That's the site where you can sign up and arrange an extra-marital affair if you're so inclined. Like they say, "Life is short. Have an affair." Now, a team of Hollywood producers has revealed they're working on a fictionalized show based on the website, about a single mom who launches the site as a way to make ends meet. Why now and why this, you wonder? "Anytime 30 million people are doing anything, it becomes worthy of a real discussion," one of the producers told US Weekly. So, let's see if this ever makes it to air. The show is tentatively titled Thank You Ashley Madison. Meanwhile, the folks at Entertainment Tonight talked about what the breached data shows about the least- and most-faithful states in the USA. You might be surprised!

The End of SuM&Mer
I'm not in any hurry to get to fall, but apparently, the M&M people are. They just announced their newest flavor, and it has "fall" written all over it. New Pumpkin Spice Latte M&Ms, featuring the brown M&M on the packages wearing a scarf and holding a cup of latte. I'm sorry, it's too early. Take them back, M&M people! Just another month. That's all I ask. One. More. Month! Meanwhile,watch this hilariously awkward amateur food-tasting review about the new M&Ms posted to YouTube at the beginning of the week...

Space Oddity in Space
File this in your #TBT drawer: it's a video from a couple of years ago. I missed it, maybe you did too. Astronaut Chris Hadfield pulled a tour aboard the International Space Station in 2013. He was known as being media-savvy, steadily tweeting and doing other entertaining things. Like this little gem: performing David Bowie's "Space Oddity" in space. He tweaked the lyrics a bit - since space travel has changed a bit since Bowie recorded the song in 1969. The floating guitar and the floating singer really make this work. And Chris has a pretty decent voice.

Kim's Biggest Problem
The newly crowned queen of Instagram might have trouble in her kingdom. According to Star magazine - and you know they'd never lie! - Kim Kardashian has gained 65 pounds in her second pregnancy, and Kanye West is not at all happy about it. Kanye believes, according to the tabloid - and you know they'd never lie! - that Kim is gaining weight because she's using her pregnancy to binge on donuts and ice cream. And he wants her to lose the weight before she has the baby. If any of this is true, sounds like Kim's biggest problem is not the weight, but the maroon her got her pregnant.

The $1.5 Million "Ooops!"
Before we go any further, let me just say, I feel bad for the kid, okay? And now, the story. A 12-year-old visiting a museum in Taipei, China tripped and fell. No big deal, except he used a painting worth $1.5 million to break his fall. And in the process, he managed to punch a hole in the painting. Watch the video. And tell me this kid's face isn't on a warning poster at museums around the world by now.

"Go Back to Univision"
When it comes to freedom of speech, it sounds like Donald Trump believes it applies only to him. Okay, so maybe that's a broad statement to be making based on one little incident, so you decide. The Donald's holding a press conference in Dubuque. A reporter from Univision - a Spanish-language television network aimed at America's Hispanic population - tried to ask a question. The Donald told him to sit down, as he hadn't been called. The reporter persisted, and it turned into a bit of a verbal tennis match, which involved The Donald telling the reporter to "go back to Univision." Then The Donald made a duck-lips face to his security team, and the reporter was removed. What do you think? Freedom of Donald Speech? Watch the video - decide for yourself.

No Sex in the City for Sarah Jessica Parker?
So, here's an interesting revelation. Originally, Sarah Jessica Parker did not want to play Carrie Bradshaw in Sex in the City. She reluctantly filmed the pilot and forgot about it. And when she found out the series had been picked up a few months later, she begged HBO to let her out of her contract. The story comes from a Broadway actor who recently spent some time doing a show with SJP and hubby Matthew Broderick in Massachusetts. HBO prevailed, as we know. But imagine if they hadn't. It's hard to picture anyone else playing that role. Of course, that's always difficult in retrospect. I don't think it would have been the same, do you? In case you've forgotten the show, here's a trailer for the first movie that the series spawned...

The Guy Who Got a Whole Lot of Things Right
I just stumbled on this trailer for what appears to be an epic documentary about Walt Disney. The folks at PBS are presenting Walt Disney as part of their American Experience series. They call it an unprecedented look at "the life and legacy of one of America's most enduring and influential storytellers." Watch the trailer. It looks fascinating. And mark your calendars for the premiere on September 14 and 15.

Looks Like the Devil Went Down to Congress Instead
County music legend Charlie Daniels posted an open letter to the Congress of the United States yesterday. To say he's not a happy camper is a darned accurate statement. He writes about how the courage that our country's leaders have shown in the past, and bemoans what he sees as the loss of that courage... "The courageous politicians that once championed this nation have been replaced, for the most part, by a breed of milksop, politically correct, scared of their own shadow, pushover, pathetic excuses for public servants who are supposed to be representing a constituency of citizens who have to live with the circumstances of their timid folly." Not happy in any way. He thinks the members of Congress should just pack up and go home, as he doesn't hold them in high esteem. "You're no longer men, you're puppets, you're caricatures, jokes, a gaggle of fading prostitutes for sale to anybody who can do you a political favor." Charlie's got an awful lot to say. Check it out, if you like, on his Facebook page. You can even react to it, if you like.

So This is a Preview? Not in Your Wildest Dreams!
So Taylor Swift tweeted a 15-second preview of her newest tune, "Wildest Dreams," on Sunday. It shows a variety of shots of animals running or flying, Taylor getting up close and personal with a guy, a biplane flying into the sun, and a close-up of Taylor's eye. And that's it. Guess what it doesn't feature. Music. Shouldn't a teaser for a music video feature - oh, I don't know - music? Want to see the full version - perhaps with music included? Tune in to the Video Music Awards on August 30. Wildest Dreams music video preview. Full video debuts VMA night.

Welcome to the Legion of Honor
Three Americans were praised and awarded France's highest honor on Monday, as thanks for their actions in thwarting a gunman aboard the high-speed train from Amsterdam to Paris last Friday. France's president, Francois Hollande, awarded the Legion d'Honneur to the three - two of whom are servicemen - plus a British citizen who helped in the takedown. "We are giving you the highest distinction of the country to show you how much we appreciate what you did. So this Legion d'Honneur is representative of your courage and also your incredible act of humanity … to save those also on the train." Pretty amazing story...

We Had Karate Kid All Wrong!

But, according to this retrospective, we've had the whole movie wrong all along. Daniel (played by Ralph Macchio) is the villain here, not the victim. "Wax on wax off" will never be the same again...

"Cain't Nuthin' Happen to You!"
Over the weekend, a video surfaced showing former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Chris Carter speaking to the 2014 NFL freshman class. Ordinarily, no big deal. Veteran passing on his knowledge to a bunch of rookies. Until... "Just in case y'all gonna decide not to do the right thing, if y'all got a crew, you got to have a fall guy in the crew." That's right. If you're new to the NFL and you're going to do something you shouldn't be doing, make sure you've got a hanger-on who'll be happy to say he did whatever it was so that you're off the hook. Wow. Just wow. Chris has apologized since the video hit. So far, the NFL says they don't condone that - but notice the logos on the walls behind Chris - and ESPN, where Chris works as a commentator, says it doesn't involve them. So he gets off, without even having a fall guy.

Meet the Creepy Meat Guy
So this is one of those weird stories. Residents of an apartment complex in Gastonia, North Carolina reported seeing a mysterious cloaked figure lurking in the area, possibly dropping raw meat near playgrounds. Police are investigating - so far, no clues. People are scared - and not just because he looks like the Emperor from the early Star Wars trilogy either. The computer-generated voice with this video makes it even creepier...

Hurry Up and Don't Panic?
Yesterday was not a good day for the global economy. The major stock markets took a major hit, thanks mostly to China's economic distress. So, why not take that as a sign of the financial apocalypse? That's what a former advisor to England's former prime minister did yesterday, offering three bits of advice to anyone biting what he was tweeting: Get hard cash in a safe place Stock up on bottled water, canned goods enough household essentials for a month Agree on a spot where you and your loved ones can meet in case phones and other bits of infrastructure break down This is what happens when you go to sleep watching Fear the Walking Dead and wake up to an instant 1100-point plunge on the Dow Jones.

I'm Sorry, But This is Funny
Police in Westwood, Massachusetts released this video of a too-high truck going under a too-low bridge. No one was hurt, so it's okay to laugh. It's also okay to put this on an endless video loop, if you know how to do that. Note to truck drivers: they call it "low clearance" for a reason.

"You Can't Un-Watch This!"

Dudes, You've Been Rickrolled
The term's a new one for me: Rickrolling. From what I've read, it means being disruptive using Rick Astley's 1989 hit song, "Never Gonna Give You Up." I still don't completely get it, but when the Foo Fighters used it this weekend to stick it to members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas City, it's fun to watch. I guess the WBCers have TFF on the hate list, so they gathered outside the Sprint Center Friday night to protest the band's appearance. Rather than duck and cover, Dave Grohl and the boys hopped into the back of a pick-up truck and drove right past the protestors, playing "Never Gonna Give You Up" at top volume. Check out the video. It's fun to watch.

Oh No You Didn't!
Maybe you caught the story about the astronauts on the International Space Station eating a salad featuring lettuce they'd grown on board. It's the wave of the future when it comes to space travel - being able to grow the food needed for long trips to planets like Mars. But watch what happens when a sports guy has a follow-up comment about the story just presented by the news anchor on CKPG TV in British Columbia. (I won't spoil it for you.) Be sure to catch the initial looks on the news anchor and meteorologist's faces, and listen to how they try to divert attention from what the guy just said. Classic!

Make It So, Beck
So here's something I never thought I'd hear. Sir Patrick Stewart - of Star Trek: The Next Generation and X-Men fame - reciting the lyrics to Beck's "Loser" in a semi-Shakespearean style. It's from NPR's quiz show, "Ask Me Another." The object was for players to guess the song from which the lyrics came. They failed. But the audience knew it immediately. Check it out here.

HEAD dominated the Davis Cup final 2013 in Belgrade, with four Racquet Rebels competing in the 3-2 win for the Czech Republic over Serbia. The Serbian team was led by world No. 2 Novak Djokovic, who somehow found the strength and the inspiration to play once again for his nation only a few days after winning the World Tour Finals in London.
On court at the Belgrade arena, Radek Stepanek clinched the deciding rubber for the Czech Republic, while fellow Czech HEAD Racquet Rebel Tomas Berdych contributed crucial singles and doubles wins. Meanwhile, HEAD's Djokovic earned two singles points for the Serbian runners up. Also representing the Serbian team was Nenad Zimonjic, who remarkably at age 37 is the oldest player ever to compete in a Davis Cup final.
A tearful Stepanek, who recommends the YouTek™ Graphene Speed, and Berdych, who endorses the YouTek™ Graphene Instinct, repeated their performances of a year ago when the Czechs won a second title in the team competition over Spain. "I'm indescribably happy", said Stepanek. "This is the highest moment of my career. I've won two grand slam doubles titles and reached top 10 in singles and doubles, but this is the best. I cannot describe it; this was completely different than the first time. We waited 33 years for a second title after 1980 and we made history today." Stepanek beat Dusan Lajovic 6-3, 6-1, 6-1 in the deciding fifth rubber.
Djokovic, who recommends the YouTek™ Graphene Speed, kept his nation fighting until the very end as he claimed a 24th consecutive win with a 6-4, 7-6(5), 6-2 victory over Berdych on Sunday. "There was a lot of tension and emotions, it was so close and tight in the second set," said Djokovic, "but when you play for your country, the pressure and expectations and emotions are sky high. It was great to win this match in a full arena, this is the nicest feeling you can expect as a tennis player." The Serb will now have time to recuperate before beginning the next ATP season, when he hopes to regain the No. 1 ranking.

ETSU men ranked No. 4 in CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major poll
Tuesday, October 14, 2003JOHNSON CITY, TENN. (October 14, 2003) - The preseason honors keep coming for the East Tennessee State University men's basketball team. One day after being picked to finish first in the Southern Conference North Division by both the league's coaches and media, the Buccaneers received 514 points and finished as the No. 4-ranked team in the country in the preseason CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major poll. The Bucs followed No. 3 Illinois-Chicago, No. 2 Manhattan and No. 1 Gonzaga. ETSU is coming off a 2002-03 season in which the Bucs finished atop the SoCon North Division for a third-straight year with a 20-11 record. The team also captured the 2003 SoCon Tournament title and nearly upset Wake Forest in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. ETSU will return all five starters from last year's team, including preseason All-SoCon picks Zakee Wadood, Jerald Fields and Tim Smith. The Bucs were ranked ahead of mid-major powers such as Creighton (No. 7), UC-Santa Barbara (No. 11), Butler (No. 12), Holy Cross (No. 16), Pepperdine (No. 18) and UNC-Wilmington (No. 23).

Women's tennis clinches at least a share of A-Sun title after defeating Kennesaw State, 5-2
Requires Adobe Flash
Saturday, April 02, 2011
KENNESAW, Ga. (April 1, 2011) -
After falling behind early following doubles play, the ETSU women's tennis team took five out of the six singles matches to defeat Kennesaw State, 5-2, Friday afternoon at the Laurel Park Tennis Center. In addition, the Bucs clinched at least a share of the A-Sun regular season title. ETSU will clinch the out-right title tomorrow with a win against Mercer.
"Today we had a few chances to clinch the doubles point, but we just did not take our chances," said ETSU Assistant Coach
Travis Sandlant.
"We knew we made it a lot tougher than it needed to be, but we responded well and came out strong in singles. Today showed our true character and how much we wanted it, because we knew what was at stake. It was a great effort by the whole team and for Giulia to come out in the first conference match of her career and clinch the win four us shows how deep our team is."
With the victory, the Bucs move to 11-6 overall and 8-1 in A-Sun play. Meanwhile, Kennesaw State falls to 17-5 overall and 6-3 in conference play.
The Bucs fell behind 1-0 early after dropping two out of the three doubles matches. ETSU got its only victory from
Karina Kedzo
(Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela) and
Paula Jaime
(Madrid, Spain) at the No. 1 position. The duo defeated Vera Shkundina and Ayano Tanaka, 8-5.
ETSU started strong in singles play as Jaime earned an impressive 6-1, 6-2 victory over Alexandra Apostu at the No. 2 position, to even the match up at 1-1. Just minutes later, ETSU took the lead as
Marine Wieliczko
(Rouen, France) won in straight sets over Mackenzie Swindall, 6-1, 6-1.
All of the momentum seemed to be on the ETSU side as Kedzo defeated reigning A-Sun Player of the Week Agatha Palider, 6-2, 6-1, at the No. 4 position, putting the Bucs up 3-1.
The Bucs clinched the victory at the No. 6 spot as freshman
Giulia Andreazza
() picked up her first career A-Sun win as she defeated Tanaka, 6-2, 6-2.
ETSU picked up another victory a little while later as
Diana Navrostska
(Lviv, Ukraine) earned a tough, 7-5, 2-6, 6-3, victory over Morgan Carney at the No. 5 position.
I was very pleased with the way they came back after dropping the doubles point," said ETSU Director of Tennis
Yaser Zaatini
. "Kennesaw State is an extremely solid team but our girls came out swinging and played extremely well. We had some good performances and overall the team effort was very solid. Hopefully today's solid play will help us for tomorrow."
ETSU returns to action tomorrow with a match against Mercer in the final A-Sun regular season match for the Bucs. With a win tomorrow, ETSU will clinch its second straight A-Sun regular season title.

Platinum, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum)(1) and carboplatin (cyclobutanedicarboxylatoplatinum)(2,3) are used in cancer chemotherapy. Clinical trials demonstrate schedule-dependent activity of carboplatin in patients with relapsed and refractory acute leukemia. Patients responding to carboplatin therapy had peak serum platinum concentration in the range of 0.6 to 1.8 mcg/mL. Trough concentrations ranged from 0.1 to 0.4 mcg/mL. Platinum concentrations maintained >1.8 mcg/mL can induce neutropenia and renal failure if coadministered with nephrotoxic antibiotics.(1,2)
Unexposed individuals should have platinum concentrations <0.04 mcg/mL.(4)
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring platinum levels in patients receiving cisplatin or other platinum-containing drugs
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Effective Range:
-Patients responding to carboplatin therapy had peak plasma platinum concentration in the range of 0.6 to 1.8 mcg/mL.
-Trough concentrations range from 0.1 to 0.4 mcg/mL.
-Platinum concentrations maintained >1.8 mcg/mL can induce neutropenia, and renal failure if coadministered with nephrotoxic antibiotics.
-Unexposed patients should have platinum concentrations <0.04 mcg/mL.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Platinum concentrations maintained >1.8 mcg/mL can induce neutropenia, and renal failure if co-administered with nephrotoxic antibiotics. The dose-limiting toxicity of carboplatin in leukemia patients was prolonged neutropenia. Other toxicities include renal failure, particularly in the setting of nephrotoxic antibiotics and amphotericin.
Interpretation requires knowledge of the time of serum collection relative to dosing. Peak platinum concentration is achieved within 30 minutes of the end of infusion, while the trough platinum concentration occurs just before the next dose.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Cisplatin Infusion, Peak: 0.6-1.8 mcg/mL
Cisplatin Infusion, Trough: 0.1-0.4 mcg/mL
Unexposed: <0.04 mcg/mL

Comments On Jan 18, 2014:Some say these aftermarket covers are just a way to fulfill the Orange addiction, that they are just Bling. I went into a turn a little off balance and took a rock that bent my shifter straight into the case. Had the original, flimsy piece of aluminum cover been installed it likely would have punched right through. I had this cover installed and it absorbed the impact. Now I have a nice little nick where the "T" in KTM is inscribed. No damage, and yes it looks awesome.

Hey there, class!
No lesson this week, and no homework—I'm taking some time off until after Easter. Going to recharge my batteries, tend to some family business, and take a little vacation with my hubby.
I'll leave you with a
Quick Take: The word 'unique' is very often misused. It doesn't mean creative or interesting. It means one of a kind. You can remember this by looking at the first three letters: uni-, like unicycle (one wheel) or unicorn (one horn).
Your fingerprints are unique—there are no others like them. A snowflake is unique—no two are the same. A thing cannot be "very" unique or "really" unique; if it's the only one, it's just plain ol' unique. If there's more than one, it's not unique.
A thing can be creative without being unique—for example, an art print, of which there may be hundreds of identical prints issued (the original would be unique).
A thing may be unique without being creative—I have a quilt made from my grandmother's dresses that is one-of-a-kind, but the pattern is an often-used one, copied by the quilter.
In writing, a piece may be unique (in fact, most writing is) without being interesting at all.
So there you have it, until some time in April. I continue to welcome ideas for future classes—I'm not really looking for grammar or punctuation ideas, but for writing tips along the line of what we've done so far, which I'll summarize here:
1. Choose interesting words, especially nouns and verbs.
2. Be careful not to overuse adjectives and adverbs.
3. Pick the correct tense for your entry, and stick to it.
4. Eliminate exclamation points in narrative—use them only in dialog, and then sparingly.
5. Write your dialog so that it sounds natural.
6. Only occasionally use words other than "said" in your dialog tags.
7. Vary your dialog tag style.
8. Think out of the box.
Keep practicing those writing skills, and have a wonderful Easter. Christ is risen--He is risen indeed!

The REAL side of Joel Karnick
So.....it's my first trip ever to Miami.....and I have a few observations.
1) I can now say I've been to a foreign country, because a very high percentage of the people here speak a foreign language. People look rather strangely at us when we we speak English. In fact, we stopped at a frozen lemonade stand at the beach today, and I said "One frozen lemonade". She looked at me with a quizzical look....so I said again "Frozen....Lemondade". She opened the cooler, pointed to the ice and said "This?". I said yes. You would think that the first phrase you would learn in English for this job would be the product you are trying to sell. Just sayin'.
2) I also learned the hard way that taxi cab's do not pick you up at the beach. After three miles of walking, and calls to three different cab companies, we finally made it to a "place of business", and they found us a 1/2 hour later. We are sunburnt on day 2 of the trip, but not quite the way we had imagined. There are probably a thousand taxi cabs in Miami, but none that wanted to acknowledge us at the beach. Oh well, not a bad place to be stuck.
3) Seaquarium in Miami is absolutely awesome. To see a 7,000 pound whale go airborne right in front of you is unbelievable.
This is a must see if you ever travel to Miami.
4) Miami Vice may have been a terrible show, but it's a wonderful drink.
5) If you ask the lady at the Miami Heat Arena if there are tours available of the stadium, expect the answer to be...."Never!"
Just a simple no would have been fine.
6) When taking a long plane trip, watching the original "Planet of the Apes" movie on your laptop makes the time fly fast.....and gives you weird dreams that night.
Have a great week everyone! See you Monday, May 6th

Customer Reviews:
Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 102 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by DCRunner21 Amazing support for large chest! This is by far the best sports bra I have ever used. I am a 34-DDD & I have been looking for something supportive since I started running regularly about a year ago. I just completed my first half marathon & the support was amazing with zero chaffing issues. I also appreciate the fact that I can still breath in this bra, unlike so many others where I felt like my chest was so constricted I couldn't inhale deeply. I fully intend to use this bra exclusively in the future! April 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jenneryy Absolute support with the benefit of comfort! As a new mom the "girls" are a bit bigger than they used to be and normal sports bras just aren't supportive enough for when you're trying to get back in to shape. I had so many people recommend this bra to me but I was suffering from sticker shock and didn't go for it at first. Instead I bought 3 bras from random places that added up to MORE than this bra and none of them worked. When I finally caved and got sized and bought one, I feel like an idiot for not buying one sooner. The straps are wide enough that they don't dig into you, if you're nursing the straps can detach and let the cup come down for easy access. The t-back provides a lot of support, and even when doing burpees the girls aren't moving. It's worth the price tag! December 19, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5�by Marie3 Needs work At first I loved the idea of having the adjustable Velcro straps until the first time I ran in this bra. I am a 38 DD and within 5 minutes of my run the Velcro came undone and the straps gave way. Not a pretty site when you are a DD! I am sure if you are a smaller cup this bra would be a great find but they should have thought this one through a little more before making this product in a DD. September 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Chrissy242 Great Product I have two requirements in a sports bra. One, that "the girls" don't move in it and the other is that they don't touch each other (Big Bust girls understand that). This bra is perfect for both. I had been wearing two sports bras until now. I just started running this year. I am a 36DD. I need lots of support! This bra is tough to get on but I have decided that is the only way to get the firm support I need. I love that it has the back that I can wear the cute running gear also! October 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by 12 Runs true to size. Great sports bra. Minimizes bounce and headlights (there is light padding). I am normally a 36DD, but given the other reviews indicating that the bra runs slightly small and it is hard to take on and off, I decided to go with a 38DD. I've discovered that if you know your true bra size ladies (I've been fitted several times and am a true 36DD), there's no need to size down. The 388DD is just a smidge too large on me, but if I clasp it on the tightest hooks, I'm good. Having said that, I just ordered another one in the 36DD because I have a feeling it will hold me in even better . Also, I found the bra relatively easy to take on and off if I just undo the adjustable straps before getting in and out of it. Very satisfied with this product. October 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Cantlivewithoutagoodsportsbra hesitant at first but it's great! I am usually a 32D. I did order a 34C to make the bra easiler to get on and off, comoletely adjustable so I wear it pretty tight to hold everything down. Great support for high intensity workouts like running or plyometrics that requires a lot of jumping. I do wish the straps were more narrow. I like the full coverage - so I can bend over without feeling exposed. Would recommend over my 2nd favorite bra: tata tamer by Lululemon. December 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Leigh Anne Best workout bra! I am a 38 double DD. I love this bra! I can jog or do my favorite Zumba fitness class and the girls don't move! it's fabulous! October 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by mony2289 Great Bra! This bra is WONDERFUL! I am a breastfeeding mamma who loves to run. I am finally back into running after having the baby and I needed the most supportive sports bra out there. This bra is so supportive, looks sexy, and very durable. I don't think I'll ever wear any other brand moving forward, because it is that awesome! :) May 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Rockbody For intense workouts I am big up top and do a lot of intense workouts this is the best bra I have ever tried!!! Great hold, I have this in several colors. July 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by VictoriaP Great fit! With a 34dd, this definitely is super supportive!! Adjustable front straps which can make it tighter. Love it and bought it in more colors. Usually wore 2 sports bras and still not as supportive as this one! June 12, 2013

Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type 1, CD11a/CD18 and CD11b/CD18 Complex Immunophenotyping, Blood
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency syndrome type 1 (LAD-1) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the common chain (CD18) of the beta2-integrin family. LAD-1 is clinically characterized by recurrent infections, impaired wound healing, delayed umbilical cord separation, persistent leukocytosis, and recurrent soft tissue and oral infections.
Each of the beta2-integrins is a heterodimer composed of an alpha chain (CD11a, CD11b, or CD11c) noncovalently linked to a common beta2-subunit (CD18). The alpha-beta heterodimers of the beta2-integrin family include LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18), Mac-1/CR3 (CD11b/CD18), and p150/95 (CD11c/CD18).(1-4) The CD18 gene, ITGB2, and its product are required for normal expression of the alpha-beta heterodimers. Therefore, defects in CD18 expression lead to either very low or no surface membrane expression of CD11a, CD11b, and CD11c.
Severe and moderate forms of LAD-1 exist, differing in the degrees of protein deficiency, which are caused by different ITGB2 mutations. Two relatively distinct clinical phenotypes of LAD-1 have been described. Patients with the severe phenotype (<1% of normal expression of CD18 on neutrophils) characteristically have delayed umbilical stump separation (>30 days), infection of the umbilical stump (omphalitis), persistent leukocytosis (>15,000/microliter) in the absence of overt active infection, and severe destructive gingivitis with periodontitis and associated tooth loss, and alveolar bone resorption. Patients with the moderate phenotype of LAD-1 (1%-30% of normal expression of CD18 on neutrophils) tend to be diagnosed later in life. Normal umbilical separation, lower risk of life-threatening infections, and longer life expectancy are common in these patients. However, leukocytosis, periodontal disease, and delayed wound healing are still very significant clinical features.
Patients with LAD-1 (and other primary immunodeficiency diseases) are unlikely to remain undiagnosed in adulthood. Consequently, this test should not be typically ordered in adults for LAD-1. However, it may be also used to assess immune competence by determining CD18, 11a, and 11b expression.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
As an aid in the diagnosis of LAD-1 syndrome, primarily in patients <18 years of age
CD11a, CD11b, and CD18 phenotyping
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The report will include a summary interpretation of the presence or reduction in the level of expression of the individual markers (CD11a, CD11b, and CD18). Expression of the individual markers provides indirect information on the presence or absence of the CD11a/CD18 and CD11b/CD18 complexes.
Specimens obtained from patients with LAD-1 show significant reduction (moderate phenotype) or near absence (severe phenotype) of CD18 and its associated molecules, CD11a and CD11b, on neutrophils and other leukocytes.
CD11c expression also is low in LAD-1. The analytical sensitivity of the CD11c assay is insufficient to allow interpretation of CD11c surface expression. Therefore, we test only for expression of CD18, CD11a, and CD11b.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is typically not indicated in adults. For questions about appropriate test selection, contact Mayo Medical Laboratories.
Patients with normal beta2-integrin expression without functional activity have been described.(5-6) Therefore, expression of CD18 alone is insufficient to exclude the diagnosis of LAD-1; functional assays (eg, neutrophil chemotaxis, random migration assays) must be performed if the clinical suspicion is high.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Normal (reported as normal or absent expression for each marker)

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
The protohistoric archaeological complex of Bat, al-Khutm and al-Ayn represents one of the most complete and well preserved ensembles of settlements and necropolises from the 3rd millennium BCE worldwide. The core site is a part of the modern village of Bat, in the Wadi Sharsah approximately 24 kilometres east of the city of Ibri, in the Al-Dhahira Governorate of north-western Oman. Further extensions of the site of Bat are represented by the monumental tower at al-Khutm and by the necropolis at al-Ayn. Together, monumental towers, rural settlements, irrigation systems for agriculture, and necropolises embedded in a fossilized Bronze Age landscape, form a unique example of cultural relics in an exceptional state of preservation.
Seven monumental stone towers have been discovered at Bat and one is located in al-Khutm, 2 km west of Bat. The towers feature a circular outer wall about 20-25 m in diameter, and two rows of parallel compartments on either side of a central well. The earliest known tower at Bat is the mud-brick Hafit-period structure underneath the Early Umm an-Nar stone tower at Matariya. The latest known tower is probably Kasr al-Rojoom, which can be ceramically dated to the Late Umm an-Nar period (ca. 2200-2000). All of the stone-built towers show dressed blocks of local limestone laid carefully with simple mud mortar. While conclusive evidence of their function is still missing, they seem to be platforms on which superstructures (now missing) were built – either houses, or temples, or something else entirely.
The vast necropolis at Bat includes different clusters of monumental tombs that can be divided into two distinct groups. The first group is Hafit-period "beehive" tombs located on the top of the rocky slopes surrounding Bat, while the second group extends over a river terrace and includes more than a hundred dry-stone cairn tombs. Another important group of beehive tombs is located at Qubur Juhhal at al-Ayn, 22 km east-southeast of Bat. Most of these tombs are small, single-chambered, round tombs with dry masonry walls dating to the beginning of the 3rd millennium BCE. Others are more elaborate, bigger, multi-chambered tombs from the second half of the 3rdrd millennium BCE.
As in many other ancient civilizations, monuments in ancient Oman were usually built with regularly cut stones. Unique of Bat and al-Ayn are the remains the ancient quarries from which the building materials were mined, and the many workshops that attest to the complete operational procedure, from the quarries, to the stone-masonry, to the buildings construction techniques. The continuous and systematic survey activities constantly increase the types and number of monuments and sites to be documented and protected, which include villages and multiple towers, quarries associated with the Bronze Age stone-masonry workshops, Bronze Age necropolises, an Iron Age fort, Iron Age tombs, and two Neolithic flint mines connected with workshop areas for stone tool-making.
Criterion (iii): The area encompassing the settlements, the necropolises and the workshop areas of Bat, al-Khutm and al-Ayn is the most complete and best known archaeological complex in Eastern Arabia for the 3rd millennium BCE. Cuneiform texts of ancient Mesopotamia (Iraq), dating to the end of the 3rd millennium BCE, tell us that the country of Magan (Oman) was at the time the principal extraction centre of copper, which was exported overseas to Mesopotamia to the northwest, and possibly to the Indus Valley in the east. Archaeological evidence for the appearance of a more hierarchical and structured social organization is attested at Bat in both the settlements, where circular monumental structures contrast with rectangular houses, and the necropolises, where the arrangement of funerary space increased in complexity and the grave goods testify to higher living standards and social changes mainly due to the introduction of a long-distance trade economy.
Criterion (v): In a restricted, coherent space, the necropolis of Bat bears characteristic and unique witness to the evolution of funeral practices during the Early Bronze Age in the peninsula of Oman.
The archaeological sites of Bat, al-Khutm and al-Ayn encompass the most unique ensemble of 4000-5000 year-old burial monuments, towers, and remains of settlement in the Arabian Peninsula, representing an extraordinary example of the unique response of the ancient people of Oman to the pressures of an increasing population and to the input from contacts with other civilizations.
The actions of time, erosion and weathering processes, has slightly damaged some structures, but in general, the sites at Bat, al-Khutm and al-Ayn are very well preserved and they continue to express their exceptional cultural value and incredible monumentality.
Bat and its surroundings represent a mosaic of intact, authentic monuments of great antiquity, represented not only by villages and funerary buildings, but also by the many monumental towers and irrigation dams. For centuries, the tombs were used and reused, thus preserving their original function and meaning.
Protection and management requirements
The archaeological complex of Bat, al-Khutm and al-Ayn are protected by the law for National Heritage Protection of the Sultanate of Oman (1980), and they are studied and preserved under the control of the Ministry of Heritage & Culture and its Department of Excavations and Archaeological Studies (DEAS). The Ministry of Heritage & Culture is presently developing a new "Management Plan" and a new "Memorandum of Understanding", focusing on the following three points:
(I) to protect the site from destruction by regulating access to and development of specific parts of the site; (II) to promote understanding of the meaning of each site and monument through scientific study of archaeological remains and the contemporary landscape; and (III) to promote the dissemination of these studies through the development of an interpretive programme oriented for local and international tourism, including the creation of one or more interpretation centre at site.
To answer these goals, the following elements are under way or planned: Since 2004 the Ministry of Heritage & Culture there has started a comprehensive international project in close collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania Museum (Philadelphia, USA), the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo, Japan), the German Mining Museum (Bochum, Germany), and the University of Tübingen (Tübingen, Germany), for the documentation, the study and the conservation of the archaeological complex of Bat, al-Khutm and al-Ayn. Research have been concentrated on tombs (German Mining Museum and University of Tübingen), monumental towers (University of Pennsylvania Museum), local settlement patterns (University of Pennsylvania Museum and University of Tübingen), and quarries (German Mining Museum). In 2009, the Department of Explorations & Archaeological Studies of the Ministry of Heritage & Culture excavated the monumental tower at al-Khutm.
The continuous collaboration and interaction between all teams involved in the study of the archaeological complex of Bat, al-Khutm and al-Ayn, under the constant supervision of the Ministry of Heritage & Culture, has resulted in the creation of a more detailed typology for the tombs and the monumental towers. Moreover, this research strategy has led to an increasing understanding of the social-cultural and environmental contexts that eventually resulted in the foundation and the development of such a complex mosaic of villages, necropolises and hydraulic structures still visible at Bat, al-Khutm and al-Ayn. In light of recent discoveries at al-Ayn, it might be worth considering an enlargement of the boundaries of the property for the re-inscription of Bat, Khutm, and al Ayn to include also the row of tombs locally known as Qubur al-Jehhal, situated near the modern village of al-Ayn.
Plans are being developed to begin the restoration of the best preserved monumental tower, the so-called Kasr al-Rojoom.
A local inspector has been entrusted by the Ministry of Heritage & Culture to monitor the construction and the development of modern infrastructures and any potentially destructive access to the sites.
The main cemetery site was already partly fenced off from vehicular traffic, but the construction of a complete fence began in 2009.
The area surrounding the sites will be tested by means of non-invasive geophysics techniques (e.g. magnetometry and ground penetrating radar) to find an appropriate place for building a visitors centre, a museum, the car park, and all the facilities requested to enhance the public fruition of the sites.
Long Description
The zone encompassing the settlement and necropolises of Bat is the most complete and best-known site of the 3rd millennium BC. In a restricted, coherent space, the necropolis of Bat bears characteristic and unique witness to the evolution of funeral practices during the first Bronze Age in the Oman peninsula.
Historical sources recuount that the country of Magan was the principal extraction centre for copper, which was exported even to far-away Mesopotamia, as early as about 3000 BC. The appearance of a more strictly hierarchical social organization (as attested to both in the settlements, where circular defensive structures contrast with rectangular houses, and in the necropolises, where the arrangement of funerary space is more complex) goes hand in hand with higher living standards and social changes linked to a trade economy.
The protohistoric site extends north of the village and palm grove of Bat, when excavation began in 1972; it includes a settlement and a necropolis from the 3rd millennium BC. In the settlement zone, north of the confluence of a small waterway and Wadi al Hijr, there are five stone 'towers', structures that are very representative of the first Bronze Age in the Oman peninsula. One of the towers has been entirely excavated and it has been determined that it was built between 2595 BC and 2465 BC. At the level of the substructures, the plan of the tower features a series of exterior surface projections and two rows of parallel rooms on either side of a large platform in masonry with a well in the centre.
From the tower, which serves as the site's reference point, can be distinguished immediately to the east on the slope a series of rectangular houses with central courts and, to the north, a vast necropolis that can be divided into two distinct groups. The first group is located at the top of the rocky slope. Its drystone tombs (some of which date from the 4th millennium, although in some cases they may have subsequently been modified) are scattered along the path from Bat to Al Wahrah.
The much more densely concentrated second group extends over rice terraces south-east of the wadi and includes more than 100 drystone 'beehive' tombs, which tend to be organized according to an overall plan. The most ancient ones are to the north. They have only one entrance and one funerary chamber and were a collective burial place for a small number of dead. Towards the south, the sepulchres become more monumental. They have two entrances which open on to two and sometimes four funerary chambers and were intended for larger numbers of dead.
The settlement and necropolis zones of Bat form a coherent and representative group with two neighbouring contemporary archaeological sites: the tower of Al-Khutm, 2 km west of Bat, and the group of beehive tombs of Qubur Juhhal at Al-Ayn, 22 km east-south-east of Bat. The 21 tombs from the 3rd millennium, aligned on a rocky crest that stands out in the superb mountainous landscape of Jebel Misht to the north, are in a remarkable state of preservation. They have not been excavated and constitute an obviously interesting archaeological reserve.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC

I wouldn't post rates, ever.
And like everyone already said, your rates are waaaay too low.
I read every page but I still don't really know what you do. You might want to make that clearer.
Plus, I don't understand the two year guarantee on welds. Do you expect your stuff to start falling apart in about 25 months. The normal lifespan of a properly made weld is decades longer than 2 years so I'm confused there. Why not just guarantee your work?

From a technical point of view I would change the following:
- Blue underlined fonts usually indicate a link. Don't use them when there's no link.
- Under normal circumstances I wouldn't use serif and sans serif fonts on the same page.
- You use large images and force the browser to scale them down. This increases page loading times for those on a dial-up connection significantly. If you show a thumbnail, use a thumnail.
- People expect to see a large version of the image or a new page when clicking on a thumbnail...
- The "Links" link under the images on the index page should be a sixth button in the navigation bar. That way it will not destroy the page design and get noticed.
- Same area: There are currently 5 buttons and 5 images straight below. So visitors will usually try to click on the images for a link first - und nothing happens. Put more space between the navigation bar and the images.

From a consumer standpint I found your website easy to navigate and provided me enough information to conclude you are a general purpose shop providing experience and a wide range of shop services. You project a sincere honest attitude from your text. I must agree, I do not understand a guarantee on a weld, your work yes. It appears you are pojecting Professional Engineering Design capability. My instincts tell me that is not what you mean, but it could be interpreted that way.
Labor rates here in south central Illinois at a respected welding shop providing general welding services are $70.00 per hour with limited machine and pipe bending services. Another start up shop and doing very well are $60.00 per hour, but they do not offer pipe bending and machine services. Both are non union. They do not advertise their labor rates.
I have a son in Ocala Florida and we just visited them. From what we could see, construction and skilled trades are not exactly booming in that area. Its encouraging to see someone with initiative. I wish you the very best.

It leads me to believe you are uninsured or really desperate for work.
Low rate and unusual warrenty, buyer beware!
My consumable cost, insurance and electricty is percentage wise as much as you are getting, so you are working for free!
Good luck with your venture and get your pricing in line.
First and foremost, it's a nice aesthetically pleasing site with a comfortable layout.
Seems to me like you're trying to dress up what doesn't need dressing. The combined years of experience bit in particular; You're a "mom and pop" shop, there's appeal in that with some people, so use it. Don't try to put an age to your experience, but rather use that space to be more personable or explain what you like doing for customers. "We've been around a combined number of years" could be replaced with "we take pride in serving people" and then mention some ways that you're better to deal with than the bigger shops (quick turn around, friendly, etc).
Your home page statement should be combined with your about us and all located on the latter page. Your capabilities would be better served on the current home page as it's probably what people want to know first.
For the home page, I'd put more emphasis on bullet points of what you do and beef up the picture content. Show me. Make me want to look further. Too much text and no negative space (the single paragraph is an overbearing block of text with way too much info dumped into it) means that only the most patient of people is going to read every line. As for capabilities - I'd rework the entire thing. Bending and shaping are the only things (short of actual welding capacity) you fail to list specs for, and are the most important of the lot. Can you bend the part I need made? Can you weld my 3/4" aluminum bar? We'll never know. From the looks of everything else, you have a tiny drill press and a sears tap and die set. That's not confidence inspiring. Put down the specs of your heavy hitters (big tig machine or 400A mig, or what have you) and let the public not worry about the rest.
As for the "links" - I'd dump it entirely. None of those companies is giving you promotional consideration are they? Why do it for them. With King, you might be sending work to them and not even know it. Customer comes looking for an iron guy, finds your site, hits your link to king and "oh-crap, I can just buy this online" with no sale or any customer contact what so ever.Syncrowave 250DX

I can't comment on the prices, as others have, since I'm not in the
welding/fab business. But in general, I can say that _if_ your prices
are "too low" then it does look bad - people will ask why and make
their own answers ("He must not be a 'real' weldor", "He must
be using substandard materials" "He must be fly-by-night") and they'll
just move on.
A couple of comments on the web design
- I do not think that the 'blue blaze' header looks very good. The
dark blue text in the 'l" and 'u' of "Blue" are hard to see against the
black background. The light-blue 'e' is ok. Also, the multiple
colors in "Blue Blaze" makes it look like something that some
teenager did.
- The American Flag at the bottom of thepages looks cheesy. I've
nothing against Old Glory, but it looks like you took an image from
someplace and blew it up too much -- it shows the pixelation
(the squareish artifacts) that looks bad.
- On the "about us" page, you say "...deliver to you if your in a 25..."
"your" means "belonging to you". "You are" is you're. AND Immediately
after that you say that you prefer dropoff/pickup by local customers.
It can send a mixed message. It can also come across as "we don't
want to have to drive someplace or call up bubba's trucking company
for you". I would never put something that a potential customer does not
want to read/see/hear on a web page.
These are just my opinions.
Good luck

All Great Information
First of all...and this is personal preference, but, in general the animated part of the header is somewhat distracting. A nice clean, powerful header with your logo and possibly your contact information is far more attention grabbing.
If you want motion on your page use it further down. Let it peek up from the bottom to grab someones attention to get them to go further down the page.
Most of the work I do is custom furniture design and most is strictly design then I have the items built elsewhere as I do not have the time in most cases to build the items. I also do graphic design. What is the point of this statement? The point is that you need to be careful when you start talking about your rates. Why because a time frame does not really mean anything. what if I charge $100 an hour and you charge $50 and hour. Does that mean it is going to cost 1/2 as much to build something? Probably not. Try to base it on what the job is. You can use your hourly rate but just tell thim it is going to cost whatever amount for the project. Occassionally a T & M project may need to be done purely on shop rate but often we get caught up in a fictitious importance of this number.
And as was said...spelling errors...
I always see web pages as a work in progress. They should always be changing and evolving. Look at other sites and see what they do that you like and figure out how to make it work for you! Remeber this is a reflection of you. Keep it professional and let it make a statement for you!
As I said these are just my opinions but I hope they help!~ed~

Trep813. Now you have the opinions of other professionals from this site. The other site was concerned about the look of your website. This site is worried about your insurance/liability and your shop rates.
Between the two sites you should have enough information to 1) redesign the site for an upgraded presentation. 2) Re-evaluate your susceptibility to potential legal action. And 3) and impetus to modify your asking price/rate.
Good Luck.The definition of courage. "It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and you see it through to the end no matter what." From "To Kill a Mockingbird"
Looks like you are fixing your website as you're getting excellent feedback.
Just to remind you, in your "About Us" page, your "rebuilds" aren't linked yet.
I'm sure you're going to do it, and show at least 1 pic (or more) of each of those links/underlined titles....As far as the people and stores you thank, I'm not sure, but do you need permission from them? (not like they shoudn't mind, but I thought you did....)
good job, can't wait to see the finished product

Exemption (from Florida Statutes)
(c) Regular full-time employees of a corporation not engaged in the practice of engineering as such, whose practice of engineering for such corporation is limited to the design or fabrication of manufactured products and servicing of such products.
That's the closest exemption you get. Most states specifically exempt the manufacturing industry from requiring a PE license, but note that the Florida statute specifically says CORPORATION. In other words, the little guys do not enjoy this exemption unless they incorporate.
Ironically, they also exclude defense and aerospace designers from requiring a PE.
Funny. The sole proprietor who advertises that he designs custom necktie racks is required to have a professional engineering license but the guy designing a critical steering component for a production automobile doesn't need to.
I guess that's why automobiles kill over 40,000 people a year and necktie racks kill too few to hear about. Or maybe it's a statement about the relative lobbying power of the automotive, defense, and aerospace industries versus that of your average small business.

It's hard to look at the calendar and not be reminded that Christmas Eve will mark exactly four months since my dad's funeral. There's going to be an enormous gap in the family holiday celebration this year, and in fact every year from now on.
But for what it's worth, we are far from alone in having grief as an uninvited guest for the holidays.
Although the cultural expectation is that this is supposed to be a joyful time of the year, the reality is otherwise for anyone dealing with death, illness, financial difficulties, divorce, homelessness, or other forms of loss.
We shouldn't need to be reminded of this, but somehow we often do anyway. And it seems many of us need outside advice on how to cope – or, for those who aren't anticipating that their own holidays might be difficult, advice on how to be sensitive toward family and friends who are.
My email inbox has been filling up since October with suggestions on everything from getting through the holidays while undergoing cancer treatment to coping after a natural disaster. A half-hour on the Internet turned up even more advice and insight, much of it from experts on grief.
If there's one message to be gleaned from all this information, it would perhaps be this: Expect your emotions to be near the surface and expect that it will be hard at times, but concentrate on how you can make the holidays both manageable and meaningful in spite of what you're dealing with.
Caroline Flohr, who lives in suburban Seattle and recently published "Heaven's Child," a memoir about the sudden death of her 16-year-old daughter, Sarah, has this to say: "Through the web of pain, I have been amazed by the power of family, love and faith in healing."
Have faith in your own inner strength and be appreciative of what you have, she writes.
From a grief counselor: Try to avoid comparing your situation with that of other people who are together and enjoying the holidays; no family gathering is perfect or stress-free.
Alan Wolfelt, the founder of the Center for Loss and Life Transition in Fort Collins, Colo., and a noted author and counselor, suggests that rather than allowing well-meaning friends and family to prescribe how they think you should spend the holiday, focus instead on what would be meaningful to you.
What about the thousands of people for whom health challenges will be an unavoidable part of the holidays? Deborah Cornwall, a leadership volunteer for the American Cancer Society and author of a new book, "Things I Wish I'd Known: Cancer Caregivers Speak Out," sums it up this way: "Keep it festive. Keep it simple. Keep it social. Keep it positive."
Having cancer or being a caregiver for someone with cancer (or any other major or chronic disease, for that matter) is often overwhelming, so look for normalcy, she advises. This might mean focusing on a few traditional activities, such as baking and decorating cookies, that are most important to you and skipping the rest. Make togetherness the priority – and find time to laugh, Cornwall suggests.
Those who haven't yet experienced grief or illness or hardship during the holidays may want to be helpful but don't know what to say or do.
Again, the experts come to the rescue with some important tips: Don't judge. Don't give advice that hasn't been asked for. Be present and listen. Rather than waiting to be asked or making vague offers of help, take the initiative and offer to help in ways that are specific and practical, such as bringing over dinner or shoveling snow off the sidewalk.
In the days and weeks after Dad died, it was often the little things that mattered most – the cards, the phone calls, the neighbors who brought food, the people who took the time to share their memories of him.
Studies on coping with grief and adversity mostly point to the same conclusion: Support from other people matters, and an essential part of the recovery process is the construction of meaning out of loss. Even though the holidays are often a serious test of people's emotional fortitude, at the same time it can be an opportunity for the sick, the struggling and the bereaved to become more resilient.

Gallery: The Best Green Designs from DESIGNTIDE Tokyo 2011!
Several projects at the main exhibition of DESIGNTIDE addressed sustainability directly or indirectly through the materials and processes they used, extending the life of objects by giving them another use, making something beautiful from discarded materials, among other things.
A wood company turned furniture label, See-saw, invited PANTALOON to design a collection of everyday products with emphasis on the relationship between people and products. The synergy of this collaboration produced interesting results that reflect on the wood production process, like the Knotted table which covers the knots in the wooden surface (often discarded for furniture pieces) with colorful melamine circles. Each table's pattern varies, and the points also provide a safe spot to put cups or hot objects without damaging the wooden surface.
Another project that gives an unusual twist to everyday products is Tolerance by Daisuke Kitagawa. The Rename collection takes away the name of objects like cups, glasses and jars by adding a wooden extension that changes its original use. Giving a new function to these readymade objects, Kitagawa intends to give them a new and more appreciated life to them. Although DESIGNTIDE isn't centered on green design, it is great to see how most of the new ideas generated by these young Japanese designers address sustainability in new and creative ways.
