Although Missy struggled with bouts of depression since childhood, she resisted taking medication. She finally sought treatment in order to be well for her infant daughter, Katherine.
At first the antidepressant helped, but then Missy became manic and was hospitalized. She continued to suffer for years, until her diagnosis was changed to bipolar disorder. To help Missy, Bill learned as much as he could about depression. Over time however, Bill developed a tic from stress and Bill and Missy drifted apart. Now, Missy is on new medication and is doing well. With couple's counseling and the support of their church and family, Bill and Missy are united and better than ever. Missy's personal account is included in Parenting Well When You're Depressed.
How were you diagnosed with bipolar disorder?
I'd been to therapists, on and off, since I was ten years old, but I wasn't diagnosed or taking medication. About nine years ago, I was caring for our daughter Katherine, who was about 18 months old. I wasn't feeling great, but I was functioning. I just felt like I was constantly encased in a black shroud. I realized that this was the only chance that I had to care for Katherine and enjoy her while she was little. Depression runs in my family, and both my sisters are on medication. My sisters really encouraged me to take medication.
So, I went a psychiatrist that I had seen a few times and she put me on an antidepressant. At first I felt great, but gradually I slipped into a manic episode. I had very high energy and stopped sleeping. I went from eight hours of sleep a night down to three hours of sleep. I wasn't even tired. My thoughts were racing, and I was going a million miles an hour. One night, I didn't sleep at all and reached a crisis. I felt like if I continued this way, then the only logic next step was suicide, because my life was intolerable. I sat up all night and waited until Bill could take me to the hospital.
After ten days in the hospital, they discharged me and referred me to a psychiatrist who I have been working with for nine years. At first I felt better, but over the next four years, I became much more depressed. Mood swings were so much a part of my life that I just resigned myself to being depressed.
Then, about three years ago, my psychiatrist started discussing irritable depression and how my moods are really unstable and shift quickly. He changed my diagnosis to atypical bipolar disorder and prescribed a new medication.
As time went on, Bill and I struggled with whether or not we should have a second child. A few years ago, we decided to go ahead. I wanted to go off my medication, even though my doctor strongly recommended against it. I didn't want to risk damage to the fetus and wanted to breast-feed. It was a terrible decision, because in the first trimester I went into the worst depression I've ever had. So, I went back on medication, and by the end of my pregnancy, I started to feel good. I've been doing well ever since.
What has made the difference?
The turning point was when my therapist changed my diagnosis to bipolar disorder and prescribed a mood stabilizer with an antipsychotic medication. The combination of the new medications, along with the joint counseling for Bill and I, plus support from our church and family, is what works.
What are your symptoms?
When I am not doing well, I feel irritable, overeat, lack concentration, and have a sense of hopelessness and anxiety. When I'm depressed, I feel tired and at my worst, I can't get out of bed. In a manic state, I have racing thoughts and I am delusional and paranoid.
Were you resistant to taking medication?
From the time I was ten years old, until I had Katherine, the therapists I saw recommended that I take medication, but I always resisted. I felt like I would be giving in, I didn't need medication, and I could do it on my own. I always thought things were bad, but I'd be ok. I thought I'd get over it. Now I realize that this is a chronic biological condition that I have to manage and requires medication.
What are the greatest challenges?
If I have a day where I'm not feeling great, I never know if it's the beginning of a slide. It's hard to gauge what is a normal fluctuation in mood. I get scared that I'm going to tank. Bill is great about reminding me that it's just a bad day. No matter how many times I go into a depression, there is an element of disordered thinking. I think, this time it's not going to end. I have this image of being alone in a forest, but I try to keep in mind that there are friends waiting for me at the edge. Eventually I'll find my way out again.
What is helpful for Bill to do?
He just needs to be there for me. I know he finds this hard to believe, because he doesn't think it helps, but it does.
What treatment issues have come up?
I struggle with the side effects of the mood stabilizer. It causes weight gain. It's frustrating because sometimes I wonder if not being able to control my weight is outweighing the benefit I receive from the medication
How do you motivate yourself?
I make a lot of lists. I know that if I have a schedule or routine of things to do, it helps me, even if it is really minimal.
Why do you speak out about your condition?
I never used to talk about it. When I went into the hospital, I had an amazing transformative experience. A woman came in who had attempted suicide. She didn't even have a room. She was on an IV, curled up in a fetal position. She was on suicide watch around the clock. Gradually, she started to get better. The first day that she was able to come to group therapy she sat right next to me. For some reason that day I opened up and started sobbing. The next thing I knew, I felt this hand on mine. This woman who had been so consumed in her own grief, was reaching out to me. Afterwards, I felt that if there is anything that I can do to help somebody understand, or get help, or change their mind about doing something rash, then I'm more than happy to help.
What are the greatest misconceptions people have?
People have a hard time understanding the difference between having a bad day or the blues that everyone goes through versus clinical depression. People say things well meaning, like 'I don't need a doctor, I have a best friend.' Or 'I just go out and have an ice cream.'
How did you react to Missy's hospitalization?
I was very upset when she went into the hospital. I didn't really understand what was going on. She seemed to be fine and then all of a sudden she was in the psych unit. I had never dealt with the idea that someone really close to me having psychological troubles. I'd thought about car accidents or traumas, but never something like this that I knew so little about.
I work as a pharmaceutical representative, so I'm interested in the medical field. In my job, I learned a lot about antidepressants and have wanted to help people get better. So, I read a lot of medical textbooks. I realized that depression is really hard to understand and deal with it. There is no simple solution.
How did you cope with Missy's condition?
I thought I dealt with it pretty well, but I did eventually develop a tic. I went to see a psychologist after a few years. The psychologist said, 'how long have you had this tic?' I said, 'what are you talking about?' I didn't know I had it. I tried to focus on taking care of Katherine. I made all the meals. Some days Missy would take care of her, other times I did it.
I was always analyzing the situation thinking 'how can I make this better?' I worried about whether her blood sugar was ok, if she had eaten a meal in the last few hours. I wondered whether she needed more exercise, or suffered from a lack of sunshine in the wintertime. I was always thinking there must be some way to fix this. I couldn't deal with the fact that it's a chronic, biological condition that has to be managed.
One difficulty is I could never predict what the next day was going to be like. I never knew if I was going to have a good day, or week, or month. The day could start out fine, but then I could get home from work and it would be terrible. If Missy is feeling terrible, then I'm on duty for the rest of the day. I wasn't upset that I was doing too much work; I was just so upset to see her in such a mess.
What were the worst points for you?
After the hospital, for at least four years, she was depressed most of the time. It was rough. We could be invited to someone's house and I'd say yes and then the time would come and I'd have to call and say we couldn't come. It was a mess. It was unpredictable and worrisome. Our relationship fell apart. I couldn't help but feel like there was something wrong with me that was making her depressed.
When she was depressed, she didn't have any love to give. She was very good with Katherine, but I knew she was acting. Then her reserve of energy was gone. So, we definitely drifted apart. The marriage suffered. Five or six years ago, I would have told you that there was no doubt that the marriage was not going to survive.
I would hold Missy's hand and give a hug, but I didn't get much emotion back. I started to feel I was useless and not able to help at all. I focused more on helping Katherine. I did feel angry at times because it was robbing me of my life, my right to enjoy myself.
What helped you?
A couple of things happened. Missy started getting better. Also, I was inept at talking about my feelings. We went to a couple's therapist and I learned to show more emotion and talk about my feelings. That brought us closer together. It's nice now; we're so much better.
What advice do you have?
Don't feel that you're part of the problem. Always remember that this is a biological condition, it's not because you're a bad spouse. Be supportive and loving and know that medication can make a huge difference. In a chronic situation, you should definitely see a specialist, a psychiatrist, not just a primary care physician. Primary care doctors are overwhelmed with new drugs coming out and there's no way that they can keep up with them all. Counseling is definitely helpful. Have hope. There is help out there. It is probably going to be a manageable situation.

It would be awesome if applications actually install without hacking WINE to hell and back.
Phoronix: WINE 1.1.22 Brings Few Graphics Improvements
The developers behind WINE are out with their bi-weekly development update to this popular open-source project. Added in this latest WINE 1.1.22 release are improvements to OLE copy/paste functionality, the start of x86_64 exception handling support, Direct3D locking fixes, ARB shaders improvements, and better OpenGL pixel format support...
It would be awesome if applications actually install without hacking WINE to hell and back.
steam installs without any hack for example. imgburn only needs to be set to be aspi, lots of other tools work fine.
Wine 1.1.22 detects the Radeon 4800 series out of the box now (does not count for 4300, 4500, 4600 series and probably more).
How dare you insult the graphics awesomeness of ETracer
Oh wait a minute, I love ETRacer!!!!

Hamels goes for 100th career win in final start of '13
Marlins counter with young Hand, making second start of season
Sitting on 99 career victories, Phillies left-hander Cole Hamels has one more shot to reach the century mark in 2013 as he takes the mound Wednesday in Miami for the final start of his season. The game will also represent the rubber match of the series between the Phillies and the Marlins.
Following a rough start to his year -- he went 1-9 with a 4.86 ERA in 12 starts through the end of May -- Hamels has bounced back in a big way over the last four months. The southpaw is 7-5 with a 2.96 ERA in 20 starts since, despite allowing six runs over seven innings in his last outing Friday.
At 8-14, the 29-year-old will not finish with a winning record for the first time since he struggled to a 10-11 mark in 2009, but he is using that, as well as his team's disappointing season, as offseason motivation.
"I know we have a lot to work on," Hamels said after his last start. "If it doesn't fire you up and motivate you for the offseason, then I don't know what does. That's kind of what I'll take into the offseason: trying to win and trying to do my job even better. I think that's what we all have to do, have that pride, and knowing the fans want to see a winning team and the organization wants to see a winning team. I want to be a part of it."
Hamels has faced the Marlins four times this year, compiling a 1-2 record with a 2.00 ERA.
Opposing Hamels for Miami will be Brad Hand, making his second start of the season and seventh appearance. His most recent outing was an inning of relief Friday in Washington, where he gave up one run in two innings. His lone start came against the Mets on Sept. 13, when he lost after 5 2/3 innings of four-run ball.
"The biggest thing for me is throwing strikes and getting ahead," Hand said. "When I fall behind in the count and have to throw something in there, that's when I get hit. And just not walking people, obviously."
Marlins: Slowey tosses pain-free side session
Marlins pitcher Kevin Slowey has been on the disabled list since late July with right forearm tightness. While there wasn't any intention for him to return, Slowey did have an encouraging day Tuesday. He threw a 25-pitch pain-free bullpen session.
Slowey is eligible for arbitration next year, and it is unclear if he is part of the Marlins' plans.
Manager Mike Redmond noted that for Slowey's "peace of mind," he can head into the offseason confident he has thrown pain-free.
Slowey opened the season as Miami's No. 2 starter. He posted a 3-6 mark with a 4.11 ERA in 20 appearances, 14 starts.
Phillies: Club wants catcher Ruiz back
Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz has hit .301 with 12 doubles, four home runs, 26 RBIs and an .823 OPS in 41 games since Aug. 2 and will become a free agent at the end of the season, though the Phillies value his right-handed bat.
"We'd like to bring him back," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "He knows we'd like to bring him back. We'll see what happens. It wouldn't be the first free agent [we've had]. … I'd like to have as much balance [in the lineup] as we can, we haven't been very good against left-handers. It's well documented."
Rookie catcher Cameron Rupp started Tuesday against the Marlins and went 1-for-4. If Ruiz does not return, not only do the Phillies need to find a starting catcher for next season, they will need to decide about their backup catcher as well.
Worth noting
• Chase Utley needs two more doubles to reach 300 in his career.
• Giancarlo Stanton has hit 15 home runs in 53 games at Marlins Park this season.

Has there been one? (just kidding)
Honestly I don't like what's going on in music in general right now (with a few exceptions). It's a lot of one-hit-wonders or "pushed youtube or casting show stars" that do fit whatever category/music is "hip" right now. Others (like Die Toten Hosen for example) changed their style from something that was pretty cool and different into mainstream crap ... one wonders is it because they're getting older or because they want to sell more records and get more radio play and thus make more money or because they aren't "rebellious" or "courageous" enough anymore?
I haven't gotten around to buying the record yet, but I most certainly will. However, I am not obligated to buy a subpar product, I will only do so out of my dedication to the band. I bought Smash twice, RaF,RaG twice, Greatest Hits twice, Ixnay on the Hombre, Ignition, Self-Titled, and Conspiracy of One, all legitimately. For some reason, I never bought Americana or Splinter, but I am a huge fan of buying the actual music. I am just not excited to go out and buy Days Go By.
yeah I know what you mean I actually thought about not buying the album I went to the record release party and they were selling it for $14.99 the next day I went to the mall and bought it for $9.99 just because I wanted to have the physical copy and see the artwork for the songs
I don't really use cd's at all anymore I bought RAFRAG the day it came out and have only listened to it 2 or 3 times and never all the way through and if Days Go By would have come out on vinyl I probably would have never bought the cd
I think I'm going to stop buying CDs. Vinyl has made a big comeback as a retro cool collector's item, and it's obvious now that as long as the album format is around, so will be LPs. I hate buying a CD anymore because I know that's it's on the verge of being thrown away as a format and replaced by digital downloads once and for all.
I've actually bought RaF,RaG three tims, counting the vinyl copy I purchased. Once on CD, once on vinyl, and once for a friend.
I think both records are phenomenal. They are a bit different in overall style, but it's all pure Offspring. I saw them live during their Splinter tour and that was amazing. All of the songs on Splinter are different than the others. Some you may not like, but there's enough variety that you are bound to love at least a few of them.
I said, "Hi, Greg. I'm the creepy girl." He chuckled, then wanted a handshake and I gave it. I wanted a hug and he gave it. One of his sons was there, too. Cute. Then Pete got him to autograph my sign for me because I was too polite to ask myself since he was on his way to eat. Pete also took this of photo of him holding it. - 8/2/2014.

I bought 5 Days Go By, one for me and 4 as a present for my best friends on their birthdays and all of them loved Days Go By!

Yes, I've heard the songs on Americana and Splinter until I couldn't stand them anymore, I've just never bought the albums. Those are the only two I left out for some reason.
When I was 15, I downloaded every one of the (then) seven albums the Offspring had to offer, plus every known (at the time) b-side and unreleased song, all song-by-song, one at a time, on a 56K modem. Even though the only reason I did that was because I had no money and no alternative, I consider that my greatest act of fandom, way moreso than buying all the records (sometimes multiple times). It took like 15-30 minutes to download a single song on 56K, so it was some major dedication on my part.

What is it?
UPF stand for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. Clothing can protect you from the sun's ultraviolet rays. It all depends on the fiber content, weave, weight of fabric and color.
So what's the difference between UPF and SPF?
SPF stands for the Sun Protection Factor, most commonly associated with sunscreen. This measures the amount of time it takes for skin to burn. UPF on the other hand stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor, which is a measure of the amount of UV radiation that penetrates a fabric and reaches your skin. For example, a fabric rated with a UPF of 20 will allow only 1/20th of the sun's UV rays to pass through.
Marmot UPF fabrics come in UPF 20, 25, 30, 35, 45 & 50.
What are the benefits of this technology?
Wearing a UPF fabric would greatly reduce your exposure to UV rays, (where it covers your body). Dark colors and tight weaves will have higher UPF ratings. As well, nylons and polyesters are better than plain cotton because they reflect radiation.

Spring football practice got under way Wednesday in Manhattan for Kansas State University's football team.
JUNCTION CITY - Nick Ney's flirtation with a no-hitter lasted deep into Saturday's opening game of a non-conference doubleheader with Junction City High School.
It wasn't Connor Sell's best stuff, and it wasn't a seven- nor a five-inning no-hitter on Thursday evening at Al Burns Stadium.
When Great Bend High School senior Alex Reed suffered a devastating knee injury during Class 5A district football action last fall, one had to wonder if the record-setting sprint wunderkind would ever get back on track.
Suffice to say, the Great Bend High School boys' tennis team is a work in progress. Only one senior, who is coming out for the first time this spring, is on the Panthers' roster.
Losing only four seniors to graduation, the Great Bend High School Panthers baseball team entertains some high expectations entering the 2011 campaign.
Unlike the other All-Western Athletic Conference selections, the wrestling portion was cut-and-dried.
Great Bend High School was well-represented on the All-Western Athletic Conference girls basketball team, with seniors Lexie Brack, Cassidy Tutak and Kalie LeShore garnering first-team honors.
Great Bend High School landed two players on the All-Western Athletic Conference basketball first team - Greg Hildebrand and Dakota Ellis - and two others on the second team in Will Gray and Jace Bowman.
HAYS - One win from playing for a Class 1A-Division II state basketball championship, Otis-Bison High School had its title hopes dashed by Hope in Friday's semifinal round.
HAYS - The first state basketball tournament win in Otis-Bison High School history had to be put on hold before it went into the record books.
There's no clear-cut favorite in the boys eight-team field for the Class 1A-Division II state basketball tournament in Hays.
SALINA - Entertaining the hopes of an upset special, Great Bend High School trimmed a nine-point halftime deficit to six points and had the basketball midway through the third quarter.
WICHITA - The No. 23-ranked Independence Community College basketball team can hurt you inside and out.
HAYS - In a tale of two halves on Thursday evening in an opening-round Class 5A sub-state basketball tournament game, the Great Bend High School Panthers picked the second half to hit their stride.

Jackson needs to fix the defense.
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, hobbes
Bogut fixed the defense last night. It was wonderful.
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
That's on the rest of the team though.
You can't blame Bogut that everyone else on defense slacks and expects his to take care of everything when he's on the floor. That's not fair. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
I'm not sure if I'm blaming him. I don't really know what it is, but I think the players give more effort on defense when he's not playing. This may be a dumbass problem to have, but I think with Bogut out, suddenly the team becomes the underdog with a chip on it's shoulders. With Bogut on the floor, we become favorites and lack a lot of edge on the defensive side. That's the only thing that I can think of so far. I need to stop multitasking and when I watch the game. I think I'd have a better opinion on it if I did. From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"

Truth is Bogut is not at full health and he has also mentioned it, his foot speed is still lack, and the fluidity is not all the way there yet, hope it does come back.
As far as fixing the defense, against the Spurs they went away from the zone and played majority man, including Klay on Parker which I found interesting. It worked Klay took to the challenge although he did get lost in some screens overall he was attentive and was on Parker majority of the game. Brings me to my next point, I saw a team playing active man to man defense, meaning hands out, feet planted, on a stance, players glueing to their as it should be. Plus we had good minutes from Beans who was real active and aggressive. We played the spurs real good on the defensive end, we need to continue this active man defense, and fix getting lost through screens, and attentiveness (Que to Barnes on the play he got burnt by Ginobli for the initial tie. |
Hopefully team back on right track defensively, though the 1st quarter today was abysmal...
Also concerning, the Dubs only have 4 wins vs. teams with winnnig records since January... 4-12 in their last 16 games vs. teams with winning records; take the Clippers out of that and they are 2-11. Lets hope they get the Clips in the 1st round. This season is not a flop.
Totally, I'm not suggest "you're" blaming him... I was sorta using "you" as a non-specific article. And I agree with your points, I just think it's psychotic of the team to play so much worse on defense when Bogut's on the floor. Say what you want about his mobility or lack of foot speed thus far, the dude is still good blood on D and for some reason, guys like Lee, Barnes, and (god forbid the backlash for me even suggesting this, but) Klay Thompson are all coasting when Bogut's there to clean up. It's not fair to him. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
This team flat out sucks right now. Every freaking game is a carbon copy of the other: fall behind 10 to 15 points in the first quarter, spend the next 2 1/2 quarters playing catch up, take the lead, run out of steam, lose by 4 to 6 points, rinse and repeat.
This is a coaching problem and Jackson needs get is crap in gear...The Warriors are only 4 games ahead of the Lakers now, for crying out loud. This season is not a flop.
I kind of predicted everyone freaking out early February. I said this is our tough part of the schedule. And I was right when we would struggle. Lakers are four behind and they have to do their toughest part of the schedule and our schedule is cake from March 6th on.
[quote="Blackfoot"]I kind of predicted everyone freaking out early February. I said this is our tough part of the schedule. And I was right when we would struggle. Lakers are four behind and they have to do their toughest part of the schedule and our schedule is cake from March 6th
I hope the Warriors don't have this attitude, thinking that simply playing 75 to80 percent of last 20 games at home will punch their ticket to the playoffs. Coach Jax needs to get back on his game... Cake? After Next week? After March 6th The dubs face: Lakers x2 haven't beaten them yet. Kings x2 haven't. Beaten them yet. Houston x2 haven't beaten them yet. The Bucks haven't beaten them yet. OKC. San Antonio X 2. New York. Chicago. UTah. You call these thirteen games Cake? The team has put itself in a very precarious position. This season is not a flop.
Yes, I call that a cake schedule.
You are in the worry mode because our franchise has sucked for a while. After a couple of wins everything will be really chill. |
I appreciate your optimism, but I can't imagine anyone else on this board would consider that cake, especially in light of the Dubs performance over their past twenty to twenty two games. This season is not a flop.
@PHI(X-W), TOR(X-W), SAC(X-W), HOU(X-L), MIL(X-W), NYK(X-W), DET(X-W), CHI(X-L), @HOU(X-L), @NOH(X-L), @SAS(X-L), WAS(X-W), LAL(X-W), SAC(X-W), POR(X-W), NOH(X-W), @PHX(X-W), UTA(X-W), MIN(X-W), OKC(X-L), @LAL(X-L), SAS(X-W), @POR(X-L) A margin of error of two games I believe. |
this absolutely has no base. just bc you wrote it out doesnt make it more likely that we'll win the games you think we will. it can go bad just as much as you think it'll "be chill" From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
Nah, it will all be fine. It's a pretty easy schedule, especially compared to the Jazz and Lakers. I am not sure why everyone is worried.
Because we've been watching the games. From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"

A sarcastic term used to describe an event or experience that was not really enjoyable to anyone and thus should be avoided in the future and usually a sign you may never see that person ever again. Similar to "it's been real" but more direct in definition.
I have to go now "it's been fun" I really enjoyed your party, but I really have to get going, maybe we can do it again sometime.

Gallery: Giant Rainbow Hued Umbrellas Pop Up in Spain!
Stunning at night, there is a unique almost alien expression generated by the ambient light.
Each umbrella has been prefabricated and varies in both height and diameter. Moreover, by equipping each umbrella with a light, the space can be occupied at all hours, avoiding the plight that often comes with parks of this size when night falls. Instead, the illumination activates a completely different experience as compared to the day, but remains equally as charming and secure.
Opened just a few months ago, this new square has become a major draw to both locals and tourists alike. The sunshade arrangement across the vast space is an incredible play of both shadow and light, creating a dynamic city center accessible to everyone.

There was a huge opportunity lost here. Aesthetically I have to disagree with the design, it is nothing more then something seen off high-way rest stops surviving from the 80\'s. I would have liked to see a variety of screens and depths of shade possibilities since that seemed to be the only focus. I also would have liked to see the unused space above the umbrellas, to be adapted for PV\'s to power the lights below, otherwise, the wasted power for the lights are only resolving the safety concerns they had created. However, the sun is only one of many issues here. The people still have to travel a far distance between amenities. There is nothing bringing people to the \"plaza\" other then to be shaded by their mistake. I also would have liked to see one person randomly walking around in the photos. Unless vendors and small markets set up frequently in this space, I fear a lonely future for this design.

The funny thing is many people talked about them hitting New York, I guess they aim to please.
Who else Twittered a title to SyFy for the Sharknado sequel? Well I certainly did and mine was: "Sharknado: Jaws of Fury". Perhaps I was being too clever or not clever enough because the sequel to Sharknado will known as Sharknado 2: The Second One. In a word, brilliant.
Thomas Vitale, Executive Vice President, Programming and Original Movies, SyFy had this to say, "Since Twitter played such a huge role in the success of the original movie, we wanted to use that platform to ask our fans to name Sharknado 2. This response is another reminder of how Sharknado has become a pop culture phenomenon. We want to thank all our viewers for their wonderful contributions to keeping up the shark-mentum."
Sharknado 2: The Second One, arrives July 2014. The sequel will be set in New York City.
What was your title Maniacs?
The funny thing is many people talked about them hitting New York, I guess they aim to please.
Yes! I heard the the original got so much publicity that they actually did a limited theater release. If they put the sequel out I will absolutely drop the cash for IMAX 3D. Just cuz it's fun...
And as my Ewok avatar would say: Bite the pillow...I'm going in dry.
Dang! I was sure that SharknaDOS would win... A tropical storm moving north to NY, bringing undocumented sharks with it...
A GREAT scf-fi movie with cutting edge political commentary. Just add in a dash of cleavage... and how could it miss?
Was that the movie where one character says:
"Looks like the shark... *3 second pause*... has gone nuclear."

News for Turkey Ensembl Release 79 (March 2015)
News categories
New web displays and tools
Query hit distribution image on BLAST/BLAT results page
A new image view representing the distribution of the HSPs on your query sequence has been added to the BLAST/BLAT results page.
Scrollable Region in Detail
The display within the main panel of Region in Detail can now be dragged using the mouse. To achieve this behaviour, select the 'Drag' icon in the top right hand corner of the image and then use the mouse to drag the display to the right or the left. When you release the mouse button then the image will be reoladed using the new coordinates. To revert to the previous behaviour, where the mouse is used to select a region of the display for navigation, then choose the 'Select' icon in the top right corner of the image
Display your BigWig files on whole chromosomes
We have updated our 'Whole genome' and 'Chromosome summary' pages to allow the display of BigWig data across a single chromosome or an entire karyotype. Simply attach your BigWig file through the 'Add your data' interface, then turn on the track in either view. Each wiggle point or histogram bar shows the mean value for that bin (where a bin is 150th of the length of the longest chromosome).
Note that the display across the entire genome will scale according to the maximum value in the entire file, whereas the chromosome display uses the maximum for that chromosome.
New species, assemblies and genebuilds
Vega Human annotation updated
Manual annotation of human from Havana has been updated and contains the data released in Vega 59
API and schema changes
Update to overlap/translation REST endpoint
Endpoint updated to provide only variations overlapping the protein sequence, not the whole transcript
Global Alliance REST Endpoints
New Global Alliance standard REST endpoints will be available for sets of variation data
Other updates
Regulation matrix tutorial
You can now close all the tutorial popup in the regulation matrix (in configuration panel) by clicking on the cross icon.
Schema version update
78 -> 79
Schema: support for polyploid genomes
There will be a new column "genome_component" in the genome_db table, with the appropriate API support
New SPECIES_TREE method
This will allow us to store species trees independently of datasets (needed for http://www.ensembl.org/info/about/speciestree.html)
API: remove GenomicAlignBlockAdaptor::fetch_all_by_MethodLinkSpeciesSet_GroupID()
The method is unused in the project, and there is no SQL index to speed it up.
Medaka vs Tetraodon lastz
Medaka vs Tetraodon lastz pairwise alignments (O.lat-T.nig lastz-net (on O.lat))
Medaka vs Tetraodon synteny
Medaka vs Tetraodon synteny
Web: statistics of the synteny analysis between two species
A new page similar to the statistics of the pairwise alignments, but over the synteny blocks. Since there is no specific alignmentsfor the synteny regions, the statistics only consist in covered / uncovered lengths.
patch_78_79_b.sql - Support for BAMCOV
Schema support for future BAMCOV support in the web interface.
Stable ID lookup
Stable ID lookup provided for REST services
Includes lookup for RefSeq and CCDS entries

Support for polyploid genomes
New methods in the Slice object to provide support for polyploid genomes
Allows to fetch slices for a given component
Synonym types in ontologies
Ontology schema updated to provide the type for synonyms
Corrected motif feature mappings
We discovered that some motif features were not mapped properly onto the the GRCh38 assembly, in particular, some motifs did not map at all onto the genome. We re-ran the pipeline to provide a complete coverage of known motifs.
patch_78_79_a.sql - schema_version update
Update schema_version in meta table to 79.
patch_78_79_b.sql - binding_matrix add unique key
Chaning key on name/analysis to unique.
All species: updated RefSeq gene import
RefSeq GFF3 annotation were added to the otherfeatures databases. Please note that RefSeq annotates gene models on cDNA sequence and not on the reference genome, meaning that when users choose to translate the RefSeq transcripts off the reference genome that the translations may contain stop codons.
FASTA & GTF dumps
FASTA & GTF dumps for all the species
External reference projection
Gene ontology (GO) identifiers and gene name projection to all species.

EMBL and Genbank Dumps
EMBL and Genbank dumps for all species.
New CAFE (gene gain/loss) tree View
We now have a new Gene gain/loss tree view.
The new tree is faster and more interactive than the old tree. You can also view the tree in a radial or vertical layout (click the double arrow icon on the image blue bar). And you can choose between minimal and full tree (click the tree icon on the image blue bar).
The following browsers support the new view:
IE 9 onwards; Firefox 31 onwards; Chrome 31 onwards; Safari 5.1 onwards
For older browsers we will continue to show the previous version of the tree.
Moving away from EnsEMBL::Web::TmpFile
Our old file-handling modules in the EnsEMBL::Web::TmpFile namespace no longer supply all the functionality we need, so we are are in the process of moving to a new set of modules under EnsEMBL::Web::File. These new modules were already in use for the new export interface, but have been substantially expanded in release 79.
Web users should see no change in behaviour, but developers who have been using TmpFile should note that the old modules are now deprecated and will be removed within the next twelve months as we gradually port all file functionality to the new code.
"Download all tables" button has moved
In line with our other changes to the data export interface, the "Download view as CSV" button on pages with multiple tables has been moved to the main part of the page, above the first table, and renamed "Download all tables as CSV" for clarity.
Individual tables can still be downloaded separately using the Excel icon in the righthand corner of the blue header bar.
Retirement of archive 66
This release cycle we will be retiring archive 66 (Feb 2012) in accordance with our three-year rolling retirement policy. The data will remain available on our public database server; only the web interface will be removed.
Retirement of Sanger::Graphics modules
The following is only of relevance to developers who have created custom drawing code for their Ensembl-powered site:
As part of our "under the hood" maintenance of our codebase, we are planning to retire the Sanger::Graphics namespace and move all required functionality into EnsEMBL::Draw. The relevant modules and methods have been copied over, and the old ones will be removed in a future release.
Please note that if your code uses Sanger::Graphics::ColourMap, Bump or TextHelper, these modules have been moved into EnsEMBL::Draw::Utils.
Ensembl search in google search
There is now a search bar for www.ensembl.org when you get a hit to Ensembl in the results of a google search.
The code has been released but it might take a few days/weeks for google to pickup the changes and to show the search bar in google results.
TSL icon on transcript summary page
We are now showing the transcript support level (TSL) in the summary panel as an icon with a more detailed explanation available when you hover your mouse over it.
DAS Registry removal
Ensembl releases upto 78 have inspected the DAS Registry for DAS sources that can be attached to the browser. The Registry is being retired in May 2015 and consequently from Release 79 onwards Ensembl will no longer query the Registry. You might notice this as a decrease in the number of sources available via 'Manage Your Data' -> 'Attach DAS'
Removing feature counts on the left navigation
The feature counts in the left navigation (number in between bracket next to the links) has been removed on all the views and moved to the summary panel (top panel on the summary page).
A new line (About this gene, About this transcript, About this variant, About this structual variant) has been added on the gene summary, transcript summary, variation summary and structural variant summary page which lists the counts.
Share BLAST/BLAT/VEP results with others
Results from Ensembl tools can now be shared with others via URL. The feature is on by default i.e. the tickets can be shared to other by sharing the page's URL, but there is a checkbox in the Ticket List view that allows you to make your ticket non-sharable.
Downloading large VEP results
Downloading large VEP result text files is now possible.
View BLAST/BLAT results from multiple jobs on location view
Results from multiple BLAST/BLAT jobs can now be seen simultaneously on location views
Improved rendering of (Big)Bed features
Our drawing code has been updated to enable "intron-style" joins within alignment features, e.g. in BED files where these are defined using the blockCount/blockStart/blockSize columns. Select 'Structure' or 'Structure with labels' from the styles menu.
Colouring karyotype "pointers"
When viewing your own BED files on a karyotype, the drawing code now respects the itemRgb values for each feature, if set.
Popup userdata menus on karyotype
The karyotype has been updated with new popup menus for user data. Where features overlap on the genome, the popup menu will show an entry for every feature.
