Customizing SMF > Portals, Bridges, and Integrations
How do I move the Forum section onto another 'page'
I'm sure you have all heard this before....
I am VERY new to php - I have downloaded SMF and would like to use index.php as a portal page to my site and move the forums onto a second 'page'
Can anyone assist ?
Is there a FAQ somewhere ?
index.php, find:
--- Code: --- // Fall through to the board index then...
include_once($sourcedir . '/BoardIndex.php');
return 'BoardIndex';
--- End code ---
Change this to the name of the file you have, for example:
--- Code: --- // Fall through to whatever page we want...
include_once($boarddir . '/splash.php');
--- End code ---
And also:
--- Code: --- // Here's the monstrous $_REQUEST['action'] array - $_REQUEST['action'] => array($file, $function).
$actionArray = array(
--- End code ---
--- Code: --- // Here's the monstrous $_REQUEST['action'] array - $_REQUEST['action'] => array($file, $function).
$actionArray = array(
'forum' => array('BoardIndex.php', 'BoardIndex'),
--- End code ---
I should note that this will cause a few problems. Links throughout SMF expect the board index to be the board index, not some other page... but this does what you're asking for. You will also have to redo this change after any upgrades.
Note that if you would just like to move the location of the forum, all you have to do is copy all the files from where ever they are to where ever you want them in your FTP, and then use the repair_settings.php tool on the downloads page to fix the paths and URLs.
[unknown], I think he's just trying to change the name of index.php to something else, forum.php, for example.

Both the old (with Schwarzennegger) and new Total Recalls are only remotely based on "We Can Remember...". The short story is very amusing and the ending is fantastic, while the movies only borrow the "forgotten memories" dimension and add a typical Hollywood chase.
You'd be surprised at how many movies are based on PKD's work. Sadly, most of them are pure garbage. Blade Runner is probably the ONE good movie based on PKD's work, and believe it or not it only borrows certain aspects of the novel (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?).

For those who posted covers of Warhammer and Warhammer 40K novels, are they any good? i.e. at least a few thousand miles above R.A. Salvatore?
I recently read Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles, both very fast and entertaining to read. Now I managed to get my hands on the Spanish edition of some of the Witcher books, which I previously read in English, and HOLY CRAP!
The English edition of "The Last Wish" was decent, but "The Blood of Elves" was an uncomfortable read. The Spanish translation is SO MUCH BETTER! You can actually tell you're reading a talented writer, not a clumsy translation. In retrospective, this makes Danusia Stok's work almost unbearable. I was seriously missing out.

But I must remember what Jesus said, that we would be hated because they hated Him. Yep we derailed the thread again, apologies, but as I demonstrated above, with the scriptures (again, makes no difference what I think) It is clear what the Creator of the Universe thinks about homosexuality, btw, it's not the only or perhaps not even the "biggest" sin, but the teaching is very clear, and I will align myself to the teaching of the scripture at all times, or attempt to. The good news is that Christ died for all of you........not just some of you! |

Allowing homosexuals inclusion in these laws is somehow the straw that breaks the back??? Quote:What is the nature of the affiliation? Is the company in question merely allied to Methodism, or does the church have a financial interest of the private property, or a management interest of the private property?

No. It's either church property or it isn't and the law clearly defines what is and isn't church property. Bureaucracy is a bitch huh? Quote:Like a religiously based hospital. The Catholic Church deals with this issue. The Catholic Church outright owns and funds hospitals. The Church would also rather close hospital doors than be forced by the government to offer contraception and abortion on demand. Never mind they save lives and give comfort and aid to the sick. Never mind cutting off the nose to spite the face! What if it was a hospital run by Jehovah Witnesses and they decided that any and all blood products wouldn't be offered because that was a conflict of their religion? Religion and medicine shouldn't mix and for good reasons. Medical staff should offer all legal services, not merely what they think is best for their patients. Quote:Federal and state regulations often conflict with First Amendment rights. Depends on how you see it. We are more than free to say and do what we want. However, there is nothing in the First Amendment that says that there are no consequences for certain actions. Once the church gets into business dealings, different laws usually apply. I have no sympathy for churches who want to hide behind the First Amendment when they are involved in businesses and politics. Places like Hezhipah House love to use the First Amendment argument. There are many things that are considered "biblical" to some sects that you would consider abuse, no? Why are those things different? Quote:So, please tell me, what's at stake for heterosexuals and society at-large if gays aren't allowed to marry? *sigh* Nothing for heterosexuals...which is the entire point of what people have been trying to tell you. For society at-large, it's about families which may or may not include children. You are positing that only heterosexual families deserve protection.

RE: I'm Christian, unless you're gay.
1) I posit that the private commercial affairs of a private company are no business of the government.
2) It shouldn't matter who owns the pavilion. The property is owned by a private company. There are essentially different rules for a public company (a property an outsider can buy stock in), and for good reason. The fact that the owners of this private company have a religious reason to set and control the rules and parameters of their transactions is of no business to the government. 3) It is an absurdity that the Jw's would run a hospital. They aren't only anti-blood transfusion, they are also anti-education. Plus, their corporate set up is one where the money goes up from their congregations to line the pockets of their Watchtower organization and publishing business. Never mind the historical facts that the science of modern medicine has been greatly, richly improved by the church universal, through church-sanctioned studies, hospitals, etc. Heck, the scientific method was created by the Church. it was the philosophy of the Christian Church - to help those in need, to care for the sick - that was the driving force behind the evolution of modern medicine. 4) Churches have always had business dealings - purchasing and selling of property. The point is, however a church gets it money, their main source of income is from tithes and gifts of the faithful. Should a church who invest in a commercial enterprise, who manages a commercial enterprise, who own a commercial enterprise, be forced to do things against that church's core convictions? 5) We agree that the First Amendment protections do not address consequences. It does carry an air of personal responsibility. It was written in a day when dueling was legal. Churches have almost always been political, and Christians have, too. When Paul had the choice of taking Israel's punishment, he chose his rights as a Roman citizen. And again, churches have always had business dealings. Read Acts. I look at the business abuse of some churches in the same vein of Larry Flynt's explanation of the first amendment: If it can protect a dirtbag, it can protect the rest of us. I would posit that no church hides behind he First Amendment. I would further posit that all churches in America exercise the first amendment. This includes their involvement in business and politics. Same as it ever was, for better or worse. 6) You are arguing that the only way to do this is to make marriage inclusive to couples who historically can't be married. I disagree.

So how do we do it then without marriage?

RE: I'm Christian, unless you're gay.
I don't know. It seems silly though to force the federal government to establish marriage by setting a precedent that only benefits one group of people. There is no federal marriage institution, and the only federal laws recognizing marriage (except for DOMA, which was bad law) is in regards to tax law and immigration.
So, a good place to start is tax law. Make it flatter, make it fairer. Virtually every law concerning marriage is at the state level. From licensing to divorce, everything takes place at the state level. States have the Constitutional right to establish marriage law. Not every couple can get married. These things are regulated by every state. The Ark was built by a lone amateur, and the Titanic was built by an impressive group of professionals. |

RE: I'm Christian, unless you're gay.
Unreasonable search and seizure? How does that apply to homosexual marriage?
Could you be referring to the 14th Amendment, "equal protection" clause, "Immunities and Privileges" clause? Let's look at it this way. The IRS does not consider homosexual couples to be married, regardless of state law. The 14th amendment does not do anything to invalidate state law, where the power of law was conferred to the state and not retained by the federal government. If a murder victim resides in a state where there is capital punishment, but is killed in a state where there is no capital punishment, the victim is not protected nor is justice mediated by capital punishment law. If a man over 18 likes to sleep with 14 year olds, and it is legal in his state, but he sleeps with a 14 year old in a state where the age of consent is 16, he is not protected under the law where the offense took place. In most states, one can have a radar detector in their car - a protection against being wrongfully popped for speeding, or to alert you to the fact that cops are running radar. Perfectly legal, and in my opinion, helps law enforcement serve as a deterrent to speeding. In Virginia, though, it is against the law to have a radar detector. One's radar detector is confiscated (one could say, unreasonable seizure), and an extra fine imposed for those running radar detectors. Even if all 50 states offer same sex marriage, the federal law still may opt to not give homosexual couples tax benefits. All 50 states have anti-murder laws. Federal law regarding murder is limited to very few situations, and often when federal law can apply, the state ends up doing the prosecution. The argument for 14th Amendment protections of gay marriage isn't as strong as you suggest. It must be proven that"right" to gay marriage is essential, even if recognized by a minority of states.

RE: I'm Christian, unless you're gay.
Damn. I thought I was gonna have to read through eleven pages, but got bored after one or two. Amazing how quickly some threads get derailed.
The article is a better sermon than most I've heard or read. I need to re-read it every now and then. I was a little put-off when the guy listed the homeless and disabled with gays and spouse abusers and gang members. Then I realized that I've hated gay people on no more logical grounds than some people hate (look down on) those in poverty or recovering addicts. I think we're all on a continuum between loving everyone and hating everyone. Some of us are moving toward the one end of the spectrum, some toward the other, some constantly going back and forth or in circles, and some stagnating in whatever state they're currently in. I like how the author said that the more people we love, the more we find we love ourselves and the less we feel the need to see fault in others to make us look good in comparison (paraphrasing). It's an unfortunate quirk of humanity, the need to put others down to lift ourself up, and it does make it somehow more palatable to lump certain people in our mind into categories that we can keep compartmentalized so we know how to deal with them (but really so that we don't have to deal with them at all). I guess I do it with 'the fundies' too, even disdaining my own family members because they're stuck in beliefs that I've left behind. From Blood Diamond: Benjamin Kapanay: My heart always told me that people are inherently good. My experience suggests otherwise. But what about you, Mr. Archer? In your long career as a journalist, would you say that people are mostly good? Danny Archer: No. I'd say they're just people. Benjamin Kapanay: Exactly. It is what they do that makes them good or bad. A moment of love, even in a bad man, can give meaning to a life. None of us knows whose path will lead us to God. Thus it is not by incessant care that we become faithful and exact in the smallest things, but simply by a love which is free from the reflections and fears of restless and scrupulous souls. - Fénelon RISE AND RISE AGAIN UNTIL LAMBS BECOME LIONS |

Her not being on Friday sounds like she's getting radiation treatments.

She'd have not thought about this rare occurrence of working a Friday back when she started the alleged treatments.

Can Diet Prevent ALS?
Can Diet Prevent ALS?Risk of developing ALS decreased 25% in people consuming the highest amount of carotenoidsEating more brightly colored fruits and vegetables might help prevent or delay the onset of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease.What is ALS?
ALS affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control movement. Over time these nerve cells die, leading to an inability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement. Eventually, the disease may lead to total paralysis and is nearly always fatal. ALS usually doesn't affect intelligence, and people with advanced ALS can still control their eye movements as well as bladder and bowel function.
Colorful help for ALS
Several studies have suggested that oxidative stress-damage caused by unstable compounds called free radicals-contributes to ALS. Some studies have shown that high-dose vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, can slow the progression of ALS in animals with the hereditary form of the disease.
According to the study published in Annals of Neurology, to see what effect antioxidant carotenoids and vitamin C had on the risk of developing ALS, researchers pooled the results of five different studies including the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study, the Cancer Prevention Study II-Nutrition Cohort, the Multiethnic Cohort, the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, and the Nurses' Health Study. Information from more than one million people was included in the study. Of these, 1,153 people died from ALS.
- Risk of developing ALS decreased 25% in people consuming the highest amount of carotenoids compared with those consuming the least.
- Risk of developing ALS was 21% lower for those with higher dietary lutein intake, and 15% lower for those with higher beta-carotene intake.
- Vitamin C and other carotenoids, including lycopene and beta-cryptoxanthin, didn't seem to affect ALS risk.
"ALS is a devastating degenerative disease that generally develops between the ages of 40 and 70, and affects more men than women," said senior study author Dr. Alberto Ascherio, Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. "Understanding the impact of food consumption on ALS development is important. Our study is one of the largest to date to examine the role of dietary antioxidants in preventing ALS."
Get your carotenoids here
Lutein is found in many vegetables, including kale, collard greens, corn, romaine lettuce, turnip greens, spinach, Brussels sprouts, and zucchini. Egg yolks are another rich source.
Beta-carotene is found in sweet potatoes, spinach, broccoli, cantaloupe, winter squash, cilantro, and other dark leafy greens.
"Our findings suggest that consuming carotenoid-rich foods may help prevent or delay the onset of ALS," concluded Dr. Ascherio. "Further food-based analyses are needed to examine the impact of dietary nutrients on ALS."

Comments about Labrada Nutrition® EFA Lean™ Gold:
I work out with free weights intensely 4-5x/week and consider the omega fatty acids an essential component of bodybuilding supplements. I have tried several products and am most satisfied with EFA Lean primarily because there is no fishy aftertaste. I can't say I have seen any effective difference in my physique between using this versus other products.

Nine Explaining Regulatory Behavior
1. Wilson, The Politics of Regulation, 374. [BACK]
2. Of course, there are various degrees of self-regulation ranging from industrywide to intraorganizational. See Ian Maitland, "The Limits of Business Self-Regulation," California Management Review 27, no. 3 (Spring 1985): 132-47. [BACK]
3. Eads and Reuter, Designing Safer Products, 43. [BACK]
4. This will obviously depend on, among other things, the elasticity of demand for the product and the availability of substitutes. [BACK]
5. UL often points to its "Consumer Advisory Council," for example. Yet the CAC meets once every two years, and several committee members describe the group as a "public relations gimmick." [BACK]
6. These organizational problems are well understood. See, for example, Olson, The Logic of Collective Action. Lack of interest, a much less popular explanation, also accounts for the minimal participation of various groups in private standards-setting. "You don't capture anyone's imagination with fire extinguishers," explains a lobbyist for the Association of Flight Attendants. The issue is both too specific and too technical. UL had a similar problem with television receivers, finding that some consumers lost interest in the technical discussions (see S. David Hoffman and Janis C. Farr, "Developing a Proposed CPSC Standard for Television Receivers: The UL Experience," ASTM Standardization News, May 1977). [BACK]
7. UL developed the HT (high-tolerance) metal chimney standard largely because the Reinsurance Association of Minnesota, which reinsures most homeowner policies in the state, decided not to insure homes with woodstoves without high-tolerance metal chimneys. [BACK]
8. Royal Edwards, representative of the National Chimney Sweeps Guild, convinced the Technical Committee for NFPA 211 to prohibit stoves requiring more than a thirty-six-inch clearance. A trade association representative complained that the guild "was on a bit of a do-good crusade" in this respect. The action was eventually overturned by the Standards Council. [BACK]
9. Robert W. Grant, president, NFPA, "President's Report" (Speech delivered at the NFPA 89th Annual Meeting, Chicago, May 13, 1985). [BACK]
10. The AGA at large is more concerned with the overall sales and marketing of gas than is AGA Labs. Accordingly, AGA was more concerned that banning the unvented heater would result in the substitution of electric heat in many homes. [BACK]
11. Hunt, "Trade Associations and Self-Regulation." [BACK]
12. Garvin, "Can Industry Self-Regulation Work?" 43. [BACK]
13. UL claims to do some standards on a pro bono basis. The only standard that UL officials could point to, however, is the standard for septic tanks. [BACK]
14. Thomas P. Grumbly, "Self-Regulation: Private Vice and Public Virtue Revisited," in Social Regulation: Strategies for Reform, ed. Eugene Bardach and Robert Kagan (San Francisco: Institute for Contemporary Studies, 1982), 97. [BACK]
15. See, for example, Louis Lasagna, "Who Will Adopt the Orphan Drugs?" Regulation, November/December 1979, 27-32. [BACK]
16. The creosote tests conducted by the National Bureau of Standards were done over a period of several months in order to most closely replicate creosote production during a typical heating season. Obviously, in order to be economically practical a commercial creosote test would have to be accelerated or the results would have to be extrapolated. Either way, there would likely be criticisms that the accelerated test method is not realistic. [BACK]
17. Interview data from members of UL's Consumer Advisory Council. [BACK]
18. Anthony Downs, Inside Bureaucracy (Boston: Little, Brown, 1967), 7. [BACK]
19. American National Standards Institute, 1984 Progress Report (New York: ANSI, 1984), 9. [BACK]
20. "National Fire Protection Association Statement of Revenues and Expenses, 1984," Fire Journal, May 1985, 82. [BACK]
21. Staber and Aldrich, "Trade Association Stability and Public Policy," 4. [BACK]
22. This embarrassing incident prompted criticism and review of NFPA's rules for adopting standards and eventually resulted in changes granting the Standards Council the formal authority for ratifying standards approved by the membership (see NFPA, "Regulation Governing Committee Projects," sec. 13-5). The power does not go unused. The Standards Council recently rejected an amendment to NFPA 211 (Venting for Woodstoves) that was adopted by the general membership over the objection of the sponsoring committee. (The provision would have essentially banned stoves requiring a clearance of more than thirty-six inches.) [BACK]
23. Wilson, The Politics of Regulation, 371. [BACK]
24. Maitland, "The Limits of Business Self-Regulation," 136-37. [BACK]
25. See, for example, Milk and Ice Cream Can Institute v. F.T.C., 152 F.2d 478 (7th. Cir. 1946); United States v. Institute of Carpet Manufacturers, CCH Trade Reg. Service (9th ed.), par. 52,517 (S.D.N.Y.); Bond Crown and Cork Co. v. F.T.C., 176 F.2d 974 (4th. Cir. 1949). [BACK]
26. Radiant Burners v. Peoples Gas Co., 364 U.S. 656 (1961). [BACK]
27. Kahn, "Cartels and Trade Associations." [BACK]
28. American Society of Mechanical Engineers v. Hydrolevel Corp. [BACK]
29. Floor votes still occur, but standards cannot be adopted in final form by the membership at large. The Standards Council has the ultimate authority to issue standards. It acts as a check on "political" floor votes. Moreover, objections from the floor usually result in a remand of the issue to committee. [BACK]
30. See, for example, Structural Laminates Inc. v. Douglas Fir Plywood Assoc., 261 F. Supp. 154 (D.Or. 1966), aff'd 399 F.2d 155 (9th Cir. 1968), cert. denied 393 U.S. 1094 (1969). [BACK]
31. Muris, in ANSI, Standards and the Law, 7. [BACK]
32. Roofire Alarm Co. v. Royal Indemnity Co., 202 F.Supp. 166 (E.D.Tenn. 1962), aff'd, 313 F.2d 635 (6th Cir. 1963), cert. denied 373 U.S. 949. See also Roofire Alarm Co. v. Underwriters Laboratories, 188 F.Supp. 753 (E.D.Tenn.), aff'd per curiam, 284 F.2d 360 (6th Cir. 1960). [BACK]
33. Interview data from three sources at UL. [BACK]
34. Interview data from a member of the NFPA Standards Council. [BACK]
35. "Misuse" has been interpreted rather narrowly in many jurisdictions. In Illinois, for example, "misuse" is a defense only if the product was used "for a purpose neither intended nor foreseeable (objectively reasonable) by the defendant" (Williams v. Brown Mfg. Co., 45 Ill.2d 418, 425, 261 N.E.2d 305, 309 [1970]). See also Restatement (Second) of Torts, sec. 402A, comment n (1965) (seller not liable where injury results from "abnormal use"). [BACK]
36. Several members of the Z21.11.2 committee mentioned this concern privately, but none wanted to be quoted. [BACK]
37. Schwartz, "The Consumer Product Safety Commission," 73. [BACK]
38. Aqua Slide 'n' Dive v. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 569 F.2d 831 (5th Cir. 1978). [BACK]
39. D. D. Bean & Sons v. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 574 F.2d 643 (1st Cir. 1978). [BACK]

Dr. Ho's main research interests include trade, foreign investment and development.
Economics Department
Apply NowResources For... | Studying Production and DistributionHere at the University of Denver students in economics seek to understand how the social apparatus which governs the production and distribution of goods and services works. Students inquire into the causes of the process of economic growth and development, both within and across nations, and examine its social impact. They study topics such as the availability and consequences of government policy alternatives, the relation of the financial markets to the economy, the impact of the increasing globalization of economic activities, or the interaction of the economy with both thee natural and the social environment. They also study how economic theories have developed over time to address these various topics. We regard the economy as one element of a complex society, so we feel that to understand the aspects of society pertaining to Economics, students have to understand something about the other elements as well. Related benefits arising from our approach are that it decreases the dryness of Economics often experienced by students and that it lends itself quite readily to emphasizing the importance of writing. Indeed, the Department prides itself on the fact that we emphasize written assignments and critical thinking in our assessment of student performance. We also consider our use of primary sources and greater reading assignments than one finds in the typical U.S. Economics curriculum to be huge benefits to our students. The study of Economics provides students with the knowledge required to be a strong citizen-participant in economic affairs. Economics majors are prepared for a wide variety of careers in government, business, finance, politics, and education. It is also an ideal major for students who plan to pursue higher degrees in law, business, or international studies. Indeed, the kinds of writing and mathematical skills that a student can acquire in our program can prove to be very valuable to a graduate, no matter what road he or she may follow.

More Info
The Colorado Blue Spruce tree is one of our most popular ornamental conifers. It has many attributes that make it suitable for yards: magnificent color, conical shape when young, adaptability to soil conditions, and a root system that makes it more wind firm than any other western Spruce. It is an excellent border tree that provides year 'round screening as well as a protective summertime nesting opportunity for many songbirds.
Wildlife Value:
The Colorado Blue Spruce provides food and shelter for siskins, nuthatches, and crossbills. Browsers such as deer will often eat the foliage.
The Colorado Blue Spruce tree is such a delight that nature seems to have kept it a well-guarded secret for a very long time. It was not until 1862 that this spectacular species was discovered growing in the enchanted meadows and stream sides of the high Rocky Mountains. Once found, the fame of the Blue Spruce spread quickly and today it is one of our most widely planted landscape trees. When writing in "Handbook on Conifers" in 1969, Henry Tuescher, curator emeritus of the Montreal Botanical Garden, called the Colorado Blue Spruce tree one of the five finest conifers. Tuescher gave no reasons for this honor except for the tree's exceptional beauty.
Requires normal moisture with moderate tolerance to flooding and drought.
The needles are stiff, prickly and about 1 to 1-1/2 inches in length. They surround the branch at nearly right angles and are usually silvery to blue-green, but occasionally the blue is absent.
Flower Color:
Green; orange; purple; nondescript.
Bloom Time:
Fruit Description:
Light brown, 3 to 4 inch cones which hang downward on the branches and are concentrated in the upper crown.
Its beautiful year-round color, remarkable consistency in form, and superb adaptability to a variety of growing conditions make the Colorado Blue Spruce one of the most popular evergreens. This large tree features silvery, blue-green color with a conical, narrow shape. It can be used as a natural screen, a grand specimen, or as a shade tree if you desire to use an evergreen. Your tree will grow well in its early years, reaching a mature height of 50'-75' with a spread of 10'-20' under landscape conditions, up to 135' with a 35' spread in the wild. (Zones 2-7)

When you order trees from The Arbor Day Foundation, your order is guaranteed to arrive in a good, healthy condition or we'll replace them at no charge. Your trees will be shipped at a suitable time for planting.
Each tree is guaranteed to grow, or we'll replace it at one half the original price, plus shipping and handling.
The benefits of bare-root trees
Our trees are delivered with natural bare roots which have been dipped in hydrating gel prior to shipment to keep the roots moist and healthy. As their abundant, fibrous roots aren't confined by a container, bare-root trees get off to a more vigorous start compared to containerized roots which typically need more time to adjust to transplanting. Bare-root trees typically surpass the size of larger containerized trees in only a few years.

Brymer emphasizes that there is no one way of coping. "One thing we have learned is that individuals, even members of the same family who went through the same disaster together, have different ways of expressing themselves about the event," she says.
Don't assume that others will feel or react the same way you will. Each one of us has been impacted in a different way and we must accept that others may have their own way of expressing themselves.
If someone needs a longer period of time before they can talk about what has happened, be OK with that, says Brymer. Be willing to listen when they are ready. You can check in with them frequently by asking, "How are you doing right now?"
5. Limit exposure
Many of us have been glued to our various media screens for updated images and news about the disaster and rescue efforts. Brymer suggests curbing that inclination because "ongoing exposure can make some people even more anxious and worried."
6. Practice calming and relaxation methods
What can you do to help alleviate anxiety in the moment?
Both Heaps and Brymer suggested finding ways to calm yourself during anxious moments. This can take many forms, including deep breathing or meditation. Some people like music or singing. Others prefer praying. Whatever works best for you is the one you should be doing.
When we are distressed, we take rapid and shallow breaths. Brymer suggests taking time out throughout the day to breathe in and out slowly. Pay particular attention to breathing out, she says.
Or try this exercise: Tense your muscles and then relax them. This helps people identify where the tension may lie in their bodies and tightening the muscles may help people relax them more effectively, says Heaps.
"You may also distract yourself," advises Brymer. "Remind yourself that you are OK right now, that you are safe. And keep repeating it, if you need to. Because more than likely, you are safe. Self-talk can be very helpful."
7. Lend a hand in any way you can
"Service is a therapeutic activity," says Heaps. "Some people find it difficult to accept help. It's important to accept help, but it is equally important to help others."
Both Heaps and Brymer suggest seeking support from mental health professionals if stress reactions to the disaster feel overwhelming or continue long-term.
For more information, visit the American Psychological Association's help center or the National Child Traumatic Stress Network.

SVBC's own Didrik Hoag was quoted in a Wednesday article in the San Francisco Examiner titled, "Bike lanes are seeing red".
Didrik recalled his own close calls at the corner of Edgewood Road and Scenic Drive. The bright red color being tested will hopefully keep cars out of the bike lane, with cars making a left hand turn onto Scenic Drive. With cars backed up behind a driver making a left turn, many cars decide to pass along the right side, entering the bike lane.
Although New York has recently incorporated a pale green for separated bike lanes and Portland uses blue to highlight their bike boxes, this is the first time a city has used bright red to designate a bike lane. The city will be testing the surface for at least six months to see if it will be durable enough to use at other San Mateo County locations.
In San Jose this week; at the city's Transportation and Environmental Committee meeting, Hans Larsen, the Acting Director of the Department of Transportation stated that they are considering using colored bike lanes in the downtown area. What do you think? Would they help? Let us know.
Green bike boxes
Portland actually has a mixture of blue and green surfaces, and the bike boxes are green, not blue. Blue surfaces are from an older treatment that mainly dealt with pre-intersection crossing points where right-turning vehicles might cross the bike lane (e.g. where a Right Turn Only lane begins). Newer bike boxes are green and provide a stopping location (box) as well as visual signal that cyclists may be going straight through an intersection where a right turn is permitted (green bike lane treatment). The new SW Broadway cycletrack and SW Oak and SW Stark buffered bike lanes also have some amount of green paint treatment.
doesn't appear to work
i watched a number of cars swing through the bright red section of bike lane along edgewood road & scenic to get around a left-turning vehicle. if the fine for entering the bike lane is singeing enough, maybe motorists will get the hint. but first you have to catch them ...
Other options
"With cars backed up behind a driver making a left turn, many cars decide to pass along the right side, entering the bike lane."
How about changing the traffic signal timing so northbound Edgewood has its own phase? Then there won't be any backup behind left-turners.
Another option is to reconfigure the intersection so that all through traffic has room to pass left-turning traffic. That might require some merging.
Intersection not in Woodside
Edgewood Road and Scenic Drive is in unincorporated San Mateo County near the edge of Redwood City, quite far from Woodside.

During salat, if one recite a surat like chapter 100 of the holy quran in the FIRST raka't of fard salaat and later recite something like chapter 90 of the quran in the SECOND raka't after suraatu l fathiah, Is it true that the salaat of that person have spoil? (Note: I only used chapter 100 and 90 as an example) |
It depends on what teaching of Islam you are using, as far as I know when reading the hanafi method you must read surah 90 first and then 100 (just using your examples) so you have to read from the front backwards and not vice versa and Allah knows best. |

This variably hued plastic geometric jewel pendant is scrumptious enough to eat. plastique*'s artisans fuse six pieces of different colored plastic together, then sand the pendant down to an even surface, and finally treat it with oil to achieve a smooth, resin-like finish.
18" sterling silver chain. Pendant measures 2" tall, 0.7" wide, and 0.5" thick. Necklace's total length is about 20".
