MERCED, Calif. (AP) - Strong community opposition has led Merced
officials to put plans to clear out city homeless camps on hold.
The city had planned to start enforcing a "no camping" regulation on Jan. 23 that would mean citations and jail for anyone living in a tent on city land who refused to move.
A group of community members and church volunteers complained that the ordinance does not address where those living on the street would go.
City Councilman John Carlisle said he wants to postpone enforcing the ordinance until churches and other groups can develop a plan to shelter the homeless during the winter.
Advocates for the homeless said that the evictions would just scatter homeless people around the city and county without providing any long-term solution.

FRIDAY, April 4, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A new DNA test can identify prostate cancer patients at high risk for a return of their cancer, researchers say.
The test uses DNA from biopsy (tissue) samples taken before patients undergo surgery or radiation therapy for their cancer. The test is about 80 percent accurate in predicting which men have a high or low risk of their cancer returning within two years, according to the study.
The findings are scheduled for presentation Saturday at a meeting of the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology in Vienna.
Surgery and targeted radiation therapy are the main treatments for cancer that's confined to the prostate. However, cancer returns in 30 percent to 50 percent of patients because its spread outside the prostate was undetected during the initial treatment, said study author Robert Bristow. He is a clinician-scientist at the Princess Margaret Cancer Center in Toronto and a professor at the University of Toronto.
"Men who fail treatment within two years may be at the highest risk of dying from their prostate cancer," he said in a society news release.
"Existing methods for identifying high-risk patients are imperfect, so new tests are required that are better at predicting which patients will have their cancer recur," Bristow said. "These men can then be offered additional treatments, such as chemo- and hormone therapy, that will combat the prostate cancer throughout their entire body, rather than therapies solely focused on the prostate, in order to improve their chances of survival."
The test was assessed in 276 prostate cancer patients with an intermediate risk of cancer recurrence. It needs to be validated over the next few years in different and larger groups, the researchers said.
"If all goes well, then this will lead to a new test for cancer patients that can be turned around in three days and will tell doctors which patients will do well with local treatment alone -- surgery or radiotherapy -- and which will need extra treatment," Bristow said.
Data and conclusions presented at meetings are typically considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

text: 2 stupid and frustrating thats itWebbo1 | 29/05/2007 | See all Webbo1's reviews (2)What can I say, I'm sad, I'm sad because this game could have been a great game but it ends up being a complete let down.So where do I start ok lets look to the positives,1. Uses a great formula from operation flash point and expands on it2. Huge playing area that enables free roaming and freedom of choice on how missions are completed3. More tanks, choppers, cars and any other vehicles you can think of are there and ready to be used; I even completed a mission using a tractor!! Great fun4. Same for weapons, so many to find and use throughout the game.Err........that's it!Ok the bad points1. Graphics, you could let them go with flashpoint but not in 2007! Terrible no matter how you tweak em2. AI OMG!! friendlies are stupid and cant hit a barn door enemy AI runs towards you barely seeking cover and are one hit killers even on the lowest difficulty settings very frustrating, example I was on a night level, on a hill in the dark, in a bush 180m away from an enemy camp, I managed to take down one guy before the rest pinpointed me and the first to shoot killed me with one shot............(that's not simulation that's insane! this would happen no matter how you would try to complete the mission.3. Controls more complicated then trying to understand Stephen Hawkins calculations on black holes. Seriously no matter how you try to configure you controls or even a joystick which I did, trying to fly a chopper properly is impossible!!!! And very frustrating.This also goes for trying to shoot people aiming is sooooo off its not funny4. So many bugs and clipping issues really needs to be sorted too5. due to the above problems most of your time is spent watching a loading screen which I don't know about you but for me is about as thrilling as listening to auntie tell me how she won first prize in a knitting competition and the technique she used.I'm too annoyed to remember anymoreoverall this game has some good points if you look deep enough but I suggest only hardcore fans who are patient to the nth level should get this game, or maybe a trainer patch or cheat for unlimited health might also be worth while just to help you get through a few tricky spots and trust me that s most of the game. the problem is most people I know who have played this have uninstalled it through frustration and the fact they know they wont enjoy reloading the same level over and over again and once you start a campaign even when you try to load a alternative level to the one you cant do it wont let you so your stuck playing the same level over and over again dying continuously by crack snipers with night vision and eyes of the hawk it gets boring very very fast.If the makers had used elements from BF2 (graphics and easy to use controls even the AI in single player mode in BF2 is better then this) then it would have been a much better gamewhat annoys me the most is I want to like this game I do in fact I want to love it, all the ingredients add up to a fantastic dish its a shame the ingredients are out of date and mouldy

To be fair to John Selwyn Gummer (and when was the last time you read that combination of words?), eating a BSE-laden burger only resulted in a very slight chance of contracting the disease; whereas getting an ID card guarantees your life will be fucked shortly afterwards.

Of course the real joy of this story is that both groups are running the Home Office. Any chance of getting the Home Secretary to explain the situation? If so, can we have warning, I'll want to set TiVo so that I can enjoy it time and time again.

Liquid electrocar batteries could be replaced at pumps
@ Sean Timarco Baggaley
'Iceland generates more electricity than it can possibly use using geothermal;'
Actually most Icelandic power comes from hydro power; only about 25% is geothermal. But you're right, they have stupid amounts of power to tap and it is insanely cheap (the average Reykjaviker pays about 1/4 as much as a Britain for all the electricity and hot water they can possibly use).
The Icelandic government in association with Shell and Norsk Hydro already done extensive trials of running buses on hydrogen in Reykjavik, but have decided not to proceed further. Instead they are switching to biogas from sewage - you can recognise the biogas buses by their green roofs. The hydrogen filling station is still visible on Miklabraut as you leave the city for Hveragerði (if you're going that way, do stop off en-route at the entirely awesome geothermal plant at Hellisheiðivirkjun - it's like an Apple store has been dropped on the Moon)
There were plans to start experimenting with converting the Icelandic fishing fleet to hydrogen, but AFAIK they have been put on hold thanks to a few Icelandic billionaires running off with everyone's money.
A more economic prospect for Iceland would be to string a DC cable to the UK and pump their cheap electricity into the National Grid. The current plan by the main power company is to start offering cheap power to companies wanting to run server farms and manufacture solar silicon and to diversify away from the country's dependence on aluminium smelting which has got a bad environmental reputation of late.
Prehistoric titanic-snake jungles laughed at global warming
'A common goal of global-warming reduction efforts is to limit temperature rises to 2 degrees, though some say this is unachievable and a rise of at least 4 degrees is inevitable. The well-known Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report of 2007 predicted a rise of 3 degrees by 2100.'
Errrr what's that got to do with the fossil record? No climatologist would tell you that present global temperatures are the highest ever. They would say they are amongst the highest in the current interglacial; but that's it. What they *would* tell you is that the current rate of change is anomalously high and that is likely to cause problems for us in the short term. Like it or not, a good part of the World' population is sensitive to climate change if only because rising sea levels put large amounts of the planet's fertile land under salt water.
And to follow on from 'Anonymous Coward''s excellent points about never extrapolating directly from deep climate records. The biggest reason the late Paleocene was almost unfeasibly warm by modern standards was that both polar regions received large amounts of equatorial heat from oceanic currents. F'rcrissakes, parts of Antarctica had a subtropical climate as late as the Eocene! It was only when Antarctica and Australia separated from one another that the circumpolar currents deprived Antarctica of warmth and it began to accumulate a huge ice cap that helped drive down ocean floor temperatures across the globe. This was made worse as the Arctic became a semi-enclosed region with little or no equatorial currents.
In short, the Eocene was a nice time to live in Greenland so long as you didn't mind the crocodile infestations.

Philips BDP3000 Blu-ray disc player
Craig 12 said: 'I'm not a fan of the PS3 as a gaming system, but just as a blu ray/network/media player it's definitely worth the price.'
It makes an excellent Blu-Ray player, but for some unfathomable reason, the PS3 sucks as an upscaling DVD player - the fan runs continuously and there are some weird artifacts on screen when images are moving rapidly or the camera is panning or zooming. I tried watching 'The Illusionist' on the PS3 and had to stop as it was making me nauseous. Put it in a bottom-of-the-market upscaling DVD player and it ran fine.
Now where are the region free Blu-Ray players?

The last one is rumoured to be in trouble - though to be fair Jackie Smith hasn't been quite the same since her husband's ham-fisted exposure with the porn stash.

Post Office will snap and dab for ID card scheme
Went to the Post Office last week to send a parcel, took forever to get to the head of the queue and when I was being served the guy behind the desk was clearly following a script - did I want any holiday money? how about one of their low interest credit cards? did I need insurance on my home/car/life/cat? had I heard about their wide range of competitive savings schemes...? I guess 'do you want to have your eyeballs scanned?' is next.
Goodness knows how long it will be served if this becomes commonplace, it'll be quicker to walk a letter to the Orkneys than post it.

Labour to push for broadband tax before election
Taxes never go away
As other people have mentioned this may start at 50p per line, but it'll be seen as a relatively painless way of getting tax, so it'll go up and up.
And will it ever go away? When everyone is connected to digital Britain will they say 'thanks for the money, your bills will go down now', or will the money be diverted into some other slush fund.
There's a recent parallel here. When New Labour passed legislation to introduce digital TV the government made it obligatory for social landlords to convert their properties to digital TV. The cost of upgrading, (which in the case of blocks of flats can run into tens of thousands of Pounds), is passed on to the tenants and cannot be subsidised. Tenants have to pay their share of the cost even if they have no interest in receiving digital services or even don't have a TV.
So you may not want broadband but you're going to end up paying for it to be installed whether it's wanted or not.

Inspired by the 1940s?
Aha! The doors face backwards and it has four wheels - magnificent.
But as for all the folks here claiming that it's ugly. Of course it's ugly - it's a French car.
Whatever elan the French have towards design goes out the window when they're asked to produce a modern car. Have a look at the petrol-powered monstrosities Peugeot are currently turning out with their gaping mouths, silly fiddly detailing and tin-foil construction, then there's the vile Megane with it's stupid stick-out rear end, the anodyne beyond words Picasso and the interchangeably awful pocket Citroens. There haven't been so many ugly cars in production since the dying days of Leyland.
Sony and BBC clash over PS3 problems

''But since the issue appears to affect consoles after 18-24 months of use, the BBC claimed that Sony said it isn't liable.''
You might have a claim under the Sale of Goods Act for up to six years although the burden of proof will be on you to demonstrate the fault was inherent and not down to misuse. Though Sony could have a get out clause that novel technology is not expected to meet the same reliability standards as more established ones.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- Lee County Sheriff's deputies arrested a man whose accused of not only stealing a TV set from Target last week, but also of assaulting a loss prevention officer in the process.
Joshua Agosto, 23, was identified and arrested, thanks to tips to SWFL Crime Stoppers. Agosto is a repeat offender, with previous arrests for burglary, grand theft and aggravated battery on a pregnant victim. He now faces charges of grand theft, battery and resisting a merchant, as well as a second unrelated warrant for battery.
Shortly before 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 22nd, Agosto allegedly was caught on camera perusing the Target store located at 8040 Mediterranean Drive in Estero. After selecting a One Direction CD, he wheeled his cart to the electronics section, where he picked out a 40" Westinghouse computer. After lingering around the exit area for a few minutes, the man bolted out the door with the stolen items.
A loss prevention officer caught up with Agosto and identified himself as store security, at which point the suspect grabbed the employee by the arm and face, and slammed him into a nearby wall. Agosto then ran to a SUV parked close to the store and left at a high rate of speed.

I have tried several lotions through the years, but my skin felt dry after an hour or two, or a lotion left a greasy, slimy residue on my skin.
I always returned to Jergens Ultra Healing Lotion. It feels so creamy and emollient when being applied to the skin, and after it absorbs, leaves my skin feeling soft to the touch.
There is a light, pleasant scent, but do not find it overpowering. If I choose to wear perfume for the day, will wait until scent of the lotion dissipates before using perfume. Of course, if I put my nose right on my skin, will smell a faint Jergens scent, but the scent of the lotion has never affected the scent of the perfume.

Pretty good lotion for the price. It does make my skin pretty hydrated but it makes my skin feel really tacky after I use it. It also runs pretty thin and I like my lotions a little creamier. I would purchase this again but it's not something I would run out to buy.

I consider this unassuming drugstore product a big gun in my skin care arsenal.
I was out and burned my finger on the soft skin below the fingernail. Immediately I felt the sting of a blister coming and the only product I had in reach was this. I put it on and the stinging stopped on the spot. Granted 30 minutes later I felt the burning of a blister again and reapplied for the last time. Never burned again and the blister never came. The next day I was amazed not even a red spot or injured skin.
I've since been using this as my all over body lotion and love it. Don't know how a drug store product can work so well at healing the skin (dry feet, too) but this does. Clean scent. Highly recommend!

I like this lotion. It's thick and creamy and absorbs quickly. The scent is pleasant and subtle. I like the original cherry almond Jergens scent more, but this is a bit richer. The price is reasonable, too.

Hands down! This is the best lotion I've ever used. I've suffered extremely dry and flaky skin since I was a kid. My friends even teased me terrestrial mermaid. (I tell you, this is not exaggeration). I tried a bunch of products, but they didn't work for me. Jergens really does wonders for my skin. My skin feels and looks hydrated without the greasy feeling. Its moisturizing power lasts for almost two days just from one application. Plus, I love the subtle fragrance of it.
The only thing that disappoints me is the paraben content, but all in all: High quality, Affordable Price! This is a keeper!

What a great find! I have gone through so many brands of lotion, it's ridiculous. Prior to finding this, I was using Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair, which never felt like it completely soaked in. I was using it for occasional excema on my legs and while it soothed the itching, it felt uncomfortably sticky and heavy. On an impulse trip to Target I decided to pick up a new lotion, but it needed to have excellent reviews and be inexpensive. Enter Jergens Ultra Healing for about $4 for 12.5 fl oz. this lotion DOES soak in quickly and leaves my skin feeling like velvet. Seriously, velvet. The bottle says it locks in moisture for 24 hours and this is accurate. I don't love the scent (I prefer truly fragrance free) but it fades a bit and doesn't compete with my perfume.
The only drawbacks are that it contains mineral oil (so don't use this after a spray tan or self tanner!) and it doesn't contain any alpha hydroxy acids, which my Eucerin did. The addition of AHAs helps exfoliate my skin, especially my legs. I suppose I could mix it with my Alpha Hydrox lotion.

This is the only lotion I use, I don't even touch the other lotions this companies offers cause I don't like it. I get bored of product and always change but this thing I can't like without. I have dry skin and this keep me not feeling dry and ashy ALL day plus my skin looks healthy and feels soft I always get complements of how soft my arms and legs feel. TIP: this lotion is thick so you have to let it sink in for like a hour or 2. I hate that tacky feeling but the lotion does sink in. I take showers at night, then apply this lotion and I wake up with amazingly soft skin and do not even have to apply more lotion throughout the next day till I shower again at night. When I take morning showers, I don't get out of my rob till this sinks in, but I apply make up and do my hair to not waste time.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Victory was no Picasso, but a decent Montoya
If you ever wondered what elation, satisfaction and relief might look like when mixed together, it was perfectly depicted by the look on Al Montoya's face right around 10 p.m. Sunday night.
Check that -- it was the same look being worn by just about every player in Winnipeg Jets colours after a sloppy, all-over-the-place, but highly entertaining 5-4 overtime win over the New York Islanders that was Montoya's first with his new squad.
"That's awesome," said Montoya, who kicked out 21 of 25 shots. "I mean, I couldn't have written it any better. Coming from a building and an organization... well, it was great playing with the Islanders, but we were lucky to get 10,000 fans a night and that was empty.
"To come here in a stadium like this where they support hockey next to none, it's special. And to give them a win going away from here is great."
But this victory was hardly like the others in this young 2013 season. In fact, it was completely against the grain when compared to the wins over Washington and Pittsburgh last week. The attention to detail defensively was lost. The turnovers were appalling and regular, just as were passes into skates and the mental mistakes in their defensive zone.
Head coach Claude Noel said afterward that it was hardly a Picasso. But it was a win.
Now, the Jets' party line this year has been to not to read anything too deeply into any victory or loss. Fair enough. But even with all its flaws and warts this one did provide some revealing characteristics. The Jets got contributions from its third line against the Islanders, with both Alex Burmistrov and Alexei Ponikarovsky scoring their first goals of the season, while the power play came alive with a critical goal by Dustin Byfuglien that narrowed a 4-2 Islander lead in the third to a single goal and set up a thrilling finish.
Just as important was this: Montoya, playing in his first game since April of 2011, gave the Jets just enough to eke out a victory. He wasn't perfect -- far from it -- but neither was the crew in front of him. And that has to speak volumes about what the Jets did Sunday night, too.
They vowed not to take the Islanders lightly and, for stretches, did just that. But if maturation is also represented by getting up off the mat after getting socked in the lips, then the Jets showed that when it mattered most late in the third.
And to do it with their No. 1 goaltender on the bench and Montoya in the net could be critical when this condensed schedule hits crunch time later in the spring. So let the man enjoy his moment.
"I waited until that last second in overtime when the goal went in to listen to the fans, and then you hear them erupt," Montoya said. "There's nothing sweeter.
"I thought I gave the team a chance, at the same time, I wanted a few saves. But to get that win... that's all it's about. It's about that getting that win and giving this team a chance. That's why I'm here."

Alan: How long shall I live?Silent expressionist horror film made in 1920 Germany, starring Werner Krauss as the titular mad doctor and Conrad Veidt (the bad guy from Casablanca... oh, and the original Joker) as the fortune-telling sleepwalker Cesare (pronounced "cheh-ZAR-ay"), who lives inside the cabinet.The film was intended to be an anti-authoritarian story, inspired by the military hospitals in World War I when "malingering" soldiers were confined under manipulative doctors, but Executive Meddling strongly diluted this message. See the trivia section for details.This film is best-known for its extremely messed-up set design: all the angles are crooked, the shadows are painted onto the sets, and it's all made out of paper. More notably, some sets are twisted versions of World War I battlefields.This movie is frequently homaged by music videos (see Rob Zombie's "Living Dead Girl", Rainbow's "Can't Let You Go" and "Otherside" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers). In 2005, it received an indie remake starring Doug Jones, of Pans Labyrinth fame, which digitally imposed the new actors onto the original set. (Perhaps not coincidentally, Doug Jones also had a small role in Tim Burton's Batman Returns, a movie that owes a lot to the German Expressionist style.)In addition to being the first psychological thriller, this movie also received one of the first-ever Viral Marketing campaigns for a movie: before its premiere, German streets were plastered with posters that read "Du mu�t Caligari werden!" ("You must become Caligari!"), without telling you anything about the fact that they tied in to a movie.The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was tremendously influential in cinematic history, as all the Trope Maker examples below attest. It is in the public domain and may be viewed in its entirety at YouTube. A rescored version with Progressive Rock music by Isaac Baranoff and Funny Aminals can be viewed here.
Cesare: Your time is short. You die at dawn.
This movie provides examples of various tropes, and subverts most of them by the end:

The Komets' final preseason tune-up was a good one.
They defeated the Wheeling Nailers 6-2 Saturday night in front of 5,477 fans at Memorial Coliseum.
John Dunbar and Mickey Lang paced the Komets with two goals apiece, as they finished the exhibition slate 2-1-0 with both victories coming against the Nailers.
The Komets' 62nd regular season opens next Saturday at the Coliseum against the Toledo Walleye.
As most of the Coliseum was focused on the aftermath of a hit by Fort Wayne's Nik Pokulok about 90 feet away, the Komets scored at 4:32 into the first period. An odd-man rush that saw Dunbar and Tristan King passing the puck back and forth culminated with a Dunbar goal and a 1-0 lead.
With the Komets short-handed at 13:33, they went up 2-0 on a Chris Auger goal. The Komets had dumped the puck into the Wheeling zone and Scott Fleming won a race for it, then circled the net and sent a pass in front to Auger for his third goal of the preseason.
The second period was thoroughly dominating for the Komets, who got another goal from Dunbar – he caromed the puck off the back of goalie Mike Condon's leg and into the net for a 3-0 lead at 2:55.
Back-to-back goals from Lang – one just after a power play ended, the other during a power play -- gave Fort Wayne a 5-0 lead.
The most exciting portion of the period came when Fort Wayne goaltender John Muse stopped forward Jack MacLellan on a breakaway, which was quickly followed by a fight between Fort Wayne's Lincoln Kaleigh Schrock and Wheeling's Patrick McGrath.
The Nailers fought back with goals from Max MacKay in the second period and MacLellan on a power play in the third, when there was a fight between Fort Wayne's Nick Tuzzolino and Wheeling's Ryley Miller.
Muse stopped 22 shots, including a brilliant diving stop on Nicholas Kuqali's shot at an empty net at 13:00.
Fort Wayne's Matthew Larke made it 6-2 on a power-play goal at 16:10.
Notes: The Komets played without forwards Mike Vaskivuo, Jake Hauswirth, Matt Firman, Darick Ste. Marie and Keegan Flaherty, defensemen Kyle Follmer (groin) and William Lacasse, plus goalie Max Strang. … Goalie Larkin Saalfrank, a native of Fort Wayne, was released.

text: ISIS Cutting off Water Supply to Christians, Kurds in Regions They Do Not Control Print article Send a Tip by Frances Martel 22 Jul 2014 post a comment The Islamic State-- formerly Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS)-- has previously used water as a destructive tool to destroy crops and dams in Shi'ite territory. Now, ISIS is attempting to deprive major Christian strongholds of water through their control of pipe systems. According to Bloomberg Businessweek, the city most affected by ISIS's new campaign to deny water to as many Christians and Shi'ites in Iraq as possible is the city of Qaraqosh, currently under control of Kurdish Peshmerga forces and, thus, impenetrable to the terrorist jihadist group. Their only current connection to Qaraqosh is a water pipeline from the Tigris River, and ISIS has worked diligently to exploit this one tie by cutting off the water supply from the historic river. As Bloomberg's Jason Motlagh explains, the tactic has worked, as it is forcing Kurdish administrators in the town to import the water at extremely high prices and begin to dig wells to help better distribute the water. The wells require weeks and months of work to complete, however, and water has to travel 15 miles from other Kurdish controlled areas to reach Qaraqosh. Residents are now paying $10 a day for emergency water tanks, a fortune to many who live with limited means in the city. Iraq's water supply comes mainly from two rivers-- the Tigris and Euphrates, between which the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia arose. With ISIS controlling the Tigris water supply, any influence on water from the Euphrates could be pivotal to eradicating Christians and Shi'ites from Iraq. Shi'ites in southern Iraq are in particular danger as, without water from either river being irrigated down, they have no other source of water immediately available. Lebanon's Daily Star reports that ISIS is keenly aware of this, and has made moves to attempt to control the Euphrates water supply. It threatens key pipelines south to the Shi'ite populations, creating critical problems for the area should they capture these supplies: "seasonal droughts cannot be managed, electricity cannot be generated, proper sanitation practices are near impossible and the local economy grinds to a virtual halt." ISIS began to use water as a weapon of war in a very different way. When it took control of the Fallujah dam, for example, the jihadists closed off the water supply to the south Euphrates using the dam, then reopened it-- flooding major areas and wasting potable water. "The intent behind the water release was to use water aggressively as a tool of destruction, targeting populations who live father south," said Russell Sticklor, co-author of Water Challenges and Cooperative Response in the Middle East and North Africa, to the Daily Star. Now, ISIS is actively trying to deprive areas of water-- not surfeit them with it-- in an attempt to starve out minority groups it opposes.

Suicide Warning Signs
- Most people who think about suicide do communicate this to others in some way. Commonly this will be verbal - your friend may say that "life is too much bother" and that "others would be better off without them".
- Your friend may withdraw from people and things they have been interested in. It is possible that your friend may become uncharacteristically tearful or reckless.
- Perhaps you have noticed that your friend is taking less care with hygiene or personal grooming.
- There may be changes in sleeping or eating patterns - either sleeping or eating more than usual or not sleeping or eating well.
- You may have noticed that your friend has become preoccupied with death.
- You, or others, may suddenly be given personal possessions by your friend.
- You may note that your friend is suddenly cheerful even though the situation still looks the same. This may indicate that a decision has been made to commit suicide.
How can I help?
- Listen carefully and ask. Sometimes the cues are quite subtle and easy to miss if you aren't really listening. Don't be afraid to ask someone if they are thinking about suicide. It won't give them ideas.
- Take your friend seriously - even if they are talking about it flippantly.
- Offer support, but don't try to handle this on your own.
- Try to persuade your friend to get professional help. If they won't - ask a professional for advice yourself. Don't allow yourself to be "trapped" by promises of secrecy. Where someone's life is in danger confidentiality must come second.
- Show the person you care. Sometimes just some thoughtful gestures or words - or even a hug helps.
- Acknowledge that things are difficult for them. Don't try and cheer them up or tell them to "snap out of it."
- Suggest that if they are willing to let others help, that there may be some really good, new solutions to the problems which currently seem insurmountable.
- Most people who think about suicide are so overwhelmed by the enormity of their problems that they can't see any other way out. However, there are other ways of dealing with things, and most people welcome alternatives and welcome hearing options that work, but it may take some time and some talking to discover what those options are for each individual.

Dear Readers,
she's going to pretend she didn't hear, as per the article. But what's interesting is that she WILL KNOW it was her husband, and hence will also know she was right about him and Uttara.
Lets see what she does about it.
Meannwhile, it is so interesting that Uttara now has feelings for her jiju. He has, so expertly, manipulated her into thinking that it is SHE who loves him and HE the poor sap who doesn't get any attention from his wife, and whose wife only cares about teh house, and lies to him, that Uttara's soft corner of respect and understanding for her jiju has turned into sympathy, admiration, and a longing. Of course her lack of a spouse makes matters worse.
Devyani needs to find a hubby for Uttara ... fast.
she is perfact mom,wife,bahu bt i thnk devyani think if she say something againt her husband her house will broke
i hate uttara...she is least concerned for her sister...always looks for one or the other way to be with her jiju...
Great! but i guess she is going to stay quite about it. But i want her to support priya :(
Finally!!!!! I doubt she will do anything though
Hope she does something about it..coz i feel k after priya ...devyani is v strong character! show is doing great...! Thanks for d article :)
Edited on:06 July 2011 at 6:32am
it would be great to see Devyani fight against her husband. About time she knows his truth
Though devyani is a very strong character she has always been silent n mum about every thing..i am waiting for the day when she actually does "something" to protect her family from SSP's bad intentions.
And ofcourse waiting for G-V-K track to move on n Adi to know more of SSP's intentions.
finally she'll know the truth, she has to do something its her bahu, atleat there will be some changes in her towards her disgusting husband. love this show, really sad about vidya and gaurav, hopefully vidya gets some happiness in the future.
Edited on:05 July 2011 at 10:49pm

One small observation, though: your component is GPL, which means one can modify it as he/she wants and can distribute the modifications under the same terms. You cannot forbid them to modify a component unless they make a donation, this is not how it works.

By far the best content organizing component, it has everything that a website needs to get success. I haven't tested it yet for SEO but if that part is as well done as the rest of the component, than I cannot say something else but that I bow to the creator and wish them all the best in the world for giving the community their great work.

12580 Rott Rd
Sunset Hills, MO 63127
Category: Art Galleries
Region: Crestwood/ Sunset Hills/ Sappington/ South Lindbergh
Earlier this year the directors of Laumeier Sculpture Park laid out a new mission statement. They re-envisioned the park as a "living laboratory," wherein visitors can explore the relationships between contemporary art and the natural environment. Laumeier's newest exhibition, Camp Out: Finding Home in an Unstable World, exemplifies this refreshed approach by allowing artists the opportunity to experiment with the concept of temporary shelter as art. The project has attracted top talent from around the world, including the United Kingdom's Oliver Bishop-Young, France's Cyprien Gaillard and Canada's BGL artist collective. The opening reception will run from 5 to 7 p.m. this Saturday at the sculpture park (12580 Rott Road, Sunset Hills; 314-615-5278 or laumeiersculpturepark.org). Entry is free and the work will be on display through September 16.
June 2-Sept. 16, 2012
