Can't buy me love. health. sanity. And all that other important stuff.
There's this other guy, he's about 80, tall & skinny with no fixed abode. He walks around town holding his life possessions in a supermarket bag while he hunts through council rubbish bins for something special. Food probably. I call him Skinny Jim. I see him everyday. Skinny Jim always says hello to me. He has sparkle too.
This other dude, called David, he has a greying ginger afro & I have never seen him wear anything else except a royal blue tracksuit. Every day. The blue tracksuit. And his little black man purse. David is shy. He has a mental illness. He whispers when he talks to me. But when he does talk to me, his eyes smile & sparkle.
I wonder sometimes how they got to this. The journey they travelled to get to this. Something deep inside me, buried in the left ventricular artery gets a little achey as I remember that I am blessed with so much, while they sparkle on with so little.
They are shining examples of what we normal comfortable folk should be. Happy & content with what we have.
Sickness is rife in my life at the moment. I don't know what's going on but people are starting to drop like flies.
My best friends mum is dying. Every day cancer is stealing a little bit more of her sparkle.
My sister in laws mum has cancer too. She pretends to have sparkle so those people that love her most don't worry too much.
Blake's Uncle has just been diagnosed with stomach cancer. He is only in his 40's, has two young kids & is such a cool guy. We love him to bits. And I just don't get it? Why him? He's got so much sparkle it's blinding.
My step mum is dying too. My Dad loves her so hardout. Her sparkle is being taken from her by a horrible disease that I just can not except.
My dad also has cancer. He had surgery while I was in Mexico & they cut away a big part of his man sparkle. The doctors are stuck & don't know what to do next. So my Dad, the man who helped create the essence of me, sits & waits for someone to help him carry on living.
My Dad & his wife are doing it together. She is not winning. So fucking sad.
We all get so caught up in our own shit. We get lost & disorientated in our shit. And we forget how blessed we are to be given the ultimate gift of being able to wake up every day & take a big breath. To suck in life's purest element, the one true thing that keeps us ticking on.
Instead we choose to let the small insignificant things break us down & drown us. Stop us breathing. We complain about the sore back, busted car, lack of sleep, not having enough money to buy stupid shit we don't really need, toxic relationships we walk into eyes wide open time & time again. We complain because it's our human condition. We want people to stroke us & say that every thing will be ok.
The truth is, & I hate to be the one to say it, we are fucking lucky to wake up & only have to deal with that stuff. So lucky. Cos on the grand scheme it's nothing man. Nothing in comparison to what others are fighting right this very minute.
Yesterday I found myself having a bitch slap fight with a coke vending machine. It hurled my Coke Zero down the chute of death so dam hard that upon landing at the bottom it furiously rolled from side to side in a coke coma. And then when I opened it & it exploded in my face.
I was so angry. Like raging piss mad angry.
10 minutes later I sat at my desk & it dawned on me, a glorious revelation, you know what, if this is the worst thing that happens to me today then I am having the best fucking day ever. And then I sparkled at the coke machine & said 'hey man, no hard feelings'. Because I'm a bit crazy like that.
Then I went home & kissed my husband. Like really kissed him. And I told him I loved him so much & that this life time will never be long enough with him.
No funny post from me today. I just want to remind everyone how lucky we all are, cos it's easy to forget. I forget. I also know too many;people who forget how lucky they are every single day. And I listen to them moan & complain about everything. I want to punch them in the mouth. Hard.
I think the point I'm trying to make is that even though sometimes life can suck a big festy ball sac, most of us still have a choice of whether or not to let it break us. There will always be someone out there who's fighting a bigger harder uglier fight than our own. Trying to keep that idea in the fore front of our minds may help make us stronger? A little bit more kickass perhaps?
Go hug a stranger today. A ginga maybe seeing as it's hug a ginga day in NZ & all. Although I do recommend you ask for permission to hug first to prevent a rape whistle being blasted in your ear.
Tell someone in your life that you love them & really mean it.
Smell a babys head, cos it really is the best smell in the world next to KFC. Unless of course it has a fungal infection.
Reassure someone who clearly needs to hear it that their life is good, buy them a coffee or just listen.
Cos life IS good.
I'm thinking about starting a weekly kindness mission.
Go softly my friends.
Peace & love

YOU have a gift with words, my friend. SPARKLE! I loved that....sigh. And it is so true. I can't believe how many people in your family are DYING OF CANCER right now!!!!! That is terrible. Really, indescribably hard to deal with for all of you.ReplyDelete

Aw darlin you know how to stroke a girls already giant ego. Feeling the love from your hood. Cancer is ripping so many people I know a new one. How do I make it stop? I can't. And I hate that I have no power.Delete
I've actually decided if I could be granted one superhero power, I would want to be able to heal the sick.
Well said Becky, there are way to many negative people in this world. And I may just hug a ginga - depends what sort of mood he is in - well he used to be a ginga lolReplyDelete
It's the small stuff too, we have to appreciate. I am so sorry about your family, shit seems to just happen in mass waves! About 10 years ago, my Mommy broke her arm roller blading, then she was diagnosed with uterine cancer, then a month later she had to have surgery on her eyes. After we got over the crying jag and the bad ju-ju feeling, I found out I was preggers. I feel like I have a love/hate relationship with the circle of life. fricking Lion KingReplyDeleteReplies
The small stuff is sometimes the biggest. Hope your Ma is still fighting the good fight Jana? She's earnt some good. I now have the opening song of the Lion King stuck in my head. I act out that scene everytime I leave KFC with my 3 peice quarter pack.Delete

I wish more people felt this way more often.

Beautiful post and you're so right. I, for one, often forget to be grateful for what I have. Thanks for the reminder.ReplyDelete
I trust that the sparkle in your loved ones lives will disappear no matter what happens. Even if they move somewhere else - sparkles don't fade.
Having gone through a recent loss, your post hits very close to home. Wishing grace and peace to those in your life who are suffering. Wishing you mad superpowers above and beyond those you already fuckin rock.ReplyDelete
Love from the Middle of Nowhere, Illinois.
It IS important to have soft goo. Sparkle also. And you have both, AS WELL as being a bad ass MF with awesome comic timing.ReplyDelete
So sorry to hear you and yours are going through some of the worst of lifes shit, your post had the desired affect with me. Hubby is going to get himself some extra hot loving later, and he'll never be quite sure why .. And I shall immediately smell my own GINGA babys head (turning around in my chair now to do so). You're right, better than KFC. Do they really have a 'hug a ginga day' in NZ? Sheesh man.Replies
We embrace gingers in my country. So much so that we have dedicated one day a year especially to them. It's called Hug A Ginga Day. They get a day off work & free stuff from businesses who support it. It was invented by a nz radio station & the whole country kinda got behind it. We are strange but very kickass people over here in NZ.Delete
It certainly makes you take stock of what you have.ReplyDelete
Been dealing with some pretty serious health shit myself and embarrassed to say I've been whiny like a little bitch about it lately ( just ask Misty). But when I left treatment today I saw a little girl in the waiting room, no older than six, with severe jaundice and bloated and balding from medications. She was laughing hysterically and dancing for the nurses without a care in the world. I thought, if she could be joyful with the life she has then why can't I? So I picked up the short people from school early and were eating ice cream in the park. Life is too short to wallow in self-pity. If my time on this earth is brief then I want to spend it in laughter, not tears. XoxoReplyDelete
YOU have big sparkle, sister. I love this post and I love you. Shine on with your non-fungal baby head smelling self.ReplyDelete
- Carolyn WrightMay 26, 2012 at 7:58 PM
LMAO at the coke machine! But you're right about loads of people whinging about the small stuff and never being grateful for what they have - I had an ex like that. No ginga hugs for him.ReplyDelete
In Britain this problem is rife - if you point out to people what's important in life and that the minuscule "problem" they're whinging about means nothing in the grand scale of things, they just look at you funny. What a charmed life these people must have led if they don't understand that. The most blessed people are often the ones who don't even realise it. Lucky sods.
My sisters baby doesn't come out for any head smelling action for another 2 months, but when she does I'll be sure to grab her and smell, smell, smell awaaaay. Once she's got all that uterus goo & placenta off her of course.
I got random hugs from people, but I'm in Australia... I thought they were just trying to cop a feel of my tits since I tower over most people. Better than Kick a Ginger day, I copped a fair few of them last year :-( Cancer is a horrible, insidious disease that no-one should have to suffer. The fact that you have so much of it around you is just cruel. Sending good thoughts to you and yours.ReplyDelete
It's a sad fact of life that evil shit is lurking round the next corner waiting for it's chance to piss on our bonfires. Thankfully, not only are you still managing to find your own sparkle Bex, you're paying it forward to all of us one post at a time, and by doing so helping us all carry our own burdens. Big Love to you, and everyone else who needs it right now.ReplyDelete
It's so easy to lose focus on the important stuff. I'm so sorry, Bex. You keep your spark blazing for those who can't keep theirs going. In fact, we all should.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for this. So many of us get all wrapped up in our own piddly shit and forget that people have real struggles. I needed to see this today. I sincerely hope that things get better for your loved ones, and that they are able to keep their spark. That makes things a little easier when things suck. You're amazing and I love reading you. Thank you thank you!ReplyDelete
you inspired me to write. hope you like it.ReplyDelete

Alongside the 'other' winter project at home (a radical extension to the kitchen), Steve has a few boat-related tasks in mind. After setting up in the front room to varnish the skylights and coachroof hatch, he makes a start on the new tiller at the beginning of December, where it's warm enough to glue up the laminated wood.
The planing and sanding has to be done in the top shed, but it's brought back into the house again for the varnish, then takes pride of place along with the restored coachroof skylights and cabin hatch, awaiting the trip back down to Suffolk.
With the hull painted, deck finished and all the spars ready, there's plenty of smaller jobs to do to get her ready for launching next year.
The coachroof is not being replaced, but the skylights are in need of some attention so are brought back to the house for the winter, along with the hatch cover. The sitting room with a table set up is dry, dust-free and warm – the ideal workshop for stripping them down and varnishing!
12 October, 2015 finds us back in Derbyshire and a sense of being 'in limbo' sets in after so long away. What are we going to do? There's little interest in the house in Matlock Bath, and as we scour for sale listings in Suffolk and Derbyshire, we realise there probably isn't a better place to live, after all. Following a ski trip to Val Thorens in late January, the decision is made . . . pay off the Estate Agent, take the house off the market and plan some serious 'home improvements'!
The workshop at the top of the garden becomes a hive of activity again over the winter months, with the smell of tallow, varnish and leather, often brought back into the kitchen when it becomes too cold or damp outside. Steve turns his mind to the standing rigging . . . shrouds, backstays, forestays and new dead-eyes are all complete, re-served and ready for the launch day.
We take a short break for a trip to Holland at the end of February 2016, meeting up with the Dutch OGA for a weekend of baking bread and learning to splice ropes. Inspired by both bread-making and ropework, it's back to Derbyshire. After seizing in the new thimbles the blocks, made nearly ten years ago when the project didn't seem to be quite so big, are ready for use. Steve experiments with the lathe for a new set of parrel beads. Made from some ash felled in our own garden, he's really pleased with his example of 'tree to sea', as they fit neatly onto the gaff.
Next it's the gaff spar. The jaws are completely shattered, so new ones are carefully crafted from oak during a sunny spell in mid-March. It then turns too cold and wet to varnish outside, so, leathered and gaff is fixed to the spar, it's brought in through the sitting room window and just fits the length of the room for several coats of varnish. Taken outside again, it's awaiting transport back down to Suffolk along with another of the 'bits and pieces', the refurbished cover for the rudder stock, gleaming with new varnish and polish.
After being forced back to Derbyshire by gales at the beginning of May, we set off for sunnier climes in Italy. Travelling by train via Derby, London, Paris and Milan then to Siracusa, Sicily (with the train boarding the boat to cross the Strait of Messina), we returned by overnight ferry from Palermo to Naples, flying back to Gatwick after a few days sightseeing in Rome.
Progress having been seriously delayed this year, Steve spent just over a week in Woodbridge in early June, achieving his Springtime goal of getting the whole of the hull interior painted at last! 'Henry', the hardy and generally trusted vacuum cleaner, did need the smile wiping from his face when he fell from a deck beam knocking a tin of (very expensive) paint into the bilges! With grey bilges and white above the sole, she's looking good, and another step towards putting on the deck.
Mid-June found us back in Derbyshire for the Eroica Britannia at Bakewell Showground. Much colder than last year, the weather didn't dampen our spirits as Beverley joined Steve and Rob for a most enjoyable (and challenging) 55 miles up hill and down dale along with 3,000 'heroic' riders on classic pre-1987 bicycles.
4 July and it's off to Suffolk again, taking the Bongo and the car for the 'long haul', with no distractions until August! The tent's become somewhat untidy, leading to some 'home improvements', clearing out old wood that 'might come in handy' as patterns and extending the workbench to full-width of the tent: total cost, one bag of nails at £2.49!
After more discussions, sucking of teeth and research into the definitive plan for the deck, it's decided: marine ply and glass, painted to provide the look of canvas. Now the decision's made, Steve's fairing the deck beams and finishing jobs it's easier to do without the deck on, and ordering the ply, of course. Water and fuel tanks are thoroughly cleaned, and securely installed along with a new fuel filter.
22 July: ten boards of plywood arrive on a large lorry from Lathams. After stacking it safely, we depart for Yarmouth, Isle of Wight for the weekend to say 'bon voyage' to the OGA fleet sailing to St Malo. On our return, we find Marion and Ian are stormbound on 'Eleanor' in Ipswich, they cycled round to see the boat and invited us back for supper. Yesterday, Trevor, Peter and Paul were in the Tidemill on 'Gromit', so we all repaired to The Anchor for an evening meal.
Our trusty Bongo, due for it's MOT in May, has to have more welding done in order to pass. This means another late start to work in Woodbridge, but there's been great progress in the Derbyshire hilltop workshop!
Steve's been working on the cockpit floor, engine box and cabin sole, using the reclaimed teak from the deck.
With all the patterns carefully made before leaving Woodbridge, and brought home to Derbyshire, the winter project was to make the engine box and sole.
After a few experiments with the teak reclaimed from the deck, and various options for 'holly', the final decision was made and Steve started work in earnest.
Many chilly hours spent in the workshop resulted in a wonderful varnished engine box becoming part of the living room furniture in February, and by Easter, the sole was complete as well!
It's April, Easter weekend, and we're off to Suffolk for the first time this year for the OGA Tollesbury Rally.It's still too cold to stay long enough to do much on the boat, and we need to get back to Derbyshire anyway where we've left Neil and Joe tree-felling in the garden!
2014 looks like it's going to be another late start for work on 'Cachalot', due to the weather, but Steve's been making good progress in the workshop at home with the component parts for the cockpit all ready to go. Now the hull's pretty well finished, we're also thinking about caulking and what to do about the interior, before replacing the deck.
The May Spring Bank Holiday looks set to be fair, so we load the van with the first bulkhead and cockpit sides, made of marine ply, routed to simulate tongue and groove. Carefully put together from patterns, 300 miles away in Derbyshire, Steve starts to fit them all in place. Not only is the hull taking shape, we're getting started on the 'fitting out'!
The other major job is to prepare the hull for caulking, filling any minor blemishes before applying more coats of primer. In search of some sunshine and warmth though, we fly off to Italy for a week on the Amalfi Coast at the beginning of June, back in time for Steve to take part in l'Eroica Britannia based at Bakewell Showground.
Although all the planks and frames are done, there's still lots to do before the hull's finished. Thousands of bungs, carefully made over the winter, have been counted out into coffee tins. These need glueing carefully over the fastenings, with the grain going the right way, of course. Beverley's banned from this task, as she just can't get the grain going right! There's a bit of repair work here and there, as well as checking over knots and glueing bungs to replace them if necessary. The excess putty needs cleaning from the seams at all the butt blocks. Beverley's role in all of this is to keep everything shipshape, get the provisions in, maintain the archive, keep the business going, do all the cooking and a few of the less skilled work on the boat itself.
With the weather still cold, we stay in Derbyshire, catching up with work in the office. There's a trip to Dublin in May, to meet the OGA Round Britain fleet on passage, so it's June before we get back to the boat. Beverley stays in Derbyshire, as her Mum's in hospital, and Steve makes a good start on fairing the hull. Despite the back-breaking nature of the work, he's not suffering too many aches and pains either!
After ten days sailing with James on 'Kestrel', in the OGA Jubilee Cruise from Ipswich to Brightlingsea, we return to Woodbridge in beautiful sunny weather, at last. As its set fair, we can open up the tent to work in the fresh air and Steve gets into the swing of fairing the starboard side.
After a couple of weeks in the sunshine, with the tent opened up, Steve's pretty well finished fairing the hull, another important milestone! There's been more visitors than usual to keep us chatting, locals as well as yachtsmen from further afield. They're attracted by seeing what's beginning to look like the hull of a beautiful boat in the furthest corner of the Tidemill. It's known to some as 'death row', as we're very close to the bonfire and the neglected boats ashore gathering rainwater in their cockpits.
'Anything I can do to help?' asked Trevor from 'Gromit'. The OGA August 2009 Classics fleet was waiting for enough water to leave the Tidemill Yacht Harbour for the 'drift' down to Ramsholt and the evening meal at the pub. Trevor had come over to see how Steve was doing, and while away an hour or so in the sunshine . . . 'Well, I could do with getting that engine out!' Steve replied. No sooner said than off Trevor went to get blocks from 'Gromit' to set up a pulley system and, after quite a bit of hauling and heaving, the engine was resting at the side of the tent.
Having completed lots of work planking the hull during the summer, October 2010 found Steve looking to the engine as a 'winter project' back in Matlock Bath . . . with help from Pete and Paul, he managed to load it into the Bongo and drive back to Derbyshire with it onboard. The challenge was how to get it up to the house, and then, of course, where to put it, since it was much too heavy to take up to the top workshop.
As usual, next-door neighbour Dave was keen to lend a hand, and after a lot of chin-scratching, tugging, heaving and heavy hauling the engine was carefully extracted from the Bongo onto a makeshift trolley and brought up the steps into the back yard.
Next plan . . . build a 'lean-to' in the back yard to double up as a garden store and covered workshop! This project went well, providing an ideal workshop area and doubling up as cold store for food when we had everyone to stay over for Christmas 2010. However, no sooner was it built than the snow came in abundance! From early December and into January 2011, there was little chance to do any work outside, even under cover! The same was true in Suffolk, so Paul didn't make any progress with the planking either.
By March it really feels like progress! Paul's finished work on the counter, which is now fully restored in terms of new deck beams, archboard and frames. Steve's nearly completed the new beam shelf on the starboard side, steaming it into place and fitting it up to the new frames and knees.
The new workshop back home in Derbyshire is really coming into its own as a boatbuilding shed, and attracting quite a bit of interest in the neighbourhood. Matlock Bath is probably just about as far from the sea that you can get in mainland England, and there's bemusement as to why Steve's also started to build an 11' dinghy in clinker ply. Whilst seeking out suppliers for the planking, Steve found a woodyard in Grimsby with elm ideally suited for the rudder. On inspection, the rudder had proved to be beyond sensible repair, so sufficient elm was brought back to Matlock and the rudder is now ready for fitting and painting!
Advice from Adrian meant Steve and Glyn could make a start on the frames. After measuring up and making plywood templates, a couple of visits to Grimsby resulted in several pieces of good oak bends being brought to Matlock, where Steve started to fashion the new frames on the kitchen table! Beverley started thinking about an alternative solution.
Returning to Woodbridge the frames could be put in place, at last, some new wood going in rather than rotten wood coming out! But then, there are more long deliberations. What can we do about the deck? Repairs to the counter stern are deemed impossible with the deck in situ.
So, careful slicing between the teak planks and extraction of the screws means that we now have a large pile of teak in pretty good condition, albeit in need of a good clean-up! The ply deck was lifted to form a pattern for future reference and the teak marked with chalk and stored in neat bundles.
At last, Paul will be able to see what he's doing and have space to work!
Back in Derbyshire, the kitchen table is proving rather too small for the task in hand, but there's a solution. We decide to proceed with plans for a workshop in the garden, which necessitates constructing a large deck.
Planning applications submitted to Derbyshire Dales District Council, are eventually accepted, so we're ready to proceed with a 'winter build'. Dave was engaged to build the deck, with Simon helping and Beverley keeping everyone happy with mugs of tea. From the workshop or deck one has a spectacular view across the rooftops to the other side of the valley, providing an excellent vantage point and place to work!

Our Latest Patient Testimonials
Dr. Salas was one of the best doctors of dentistry we have met. He was completely professional and went through the entire procedure from beginning to end. He talked directly to us and my son who is autistic and full of angst to put all of us at ease. He told us if any problems came up he would stop the procedure and schedule a later date at the local hospital with our son under complete sedation and safety. On day of the removal they took our son in and the nurse stayed to tell us exactly what was going on and then kept us up to date on his progress. The procedure was very quick and when it was over we were taken to our son who was all smiles. He said he had no pain. But his smile was all we had to see. We thank Dr. Salas and the entire staff at Northeast for a wonderful experience for our son. We highly recommend Dr. Salas to any one with a child or adult with challenges.

Our Latest Patient Testimonials
I had my wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Chris Cuomo and had an extremely positive experience with not only the doctor but the office as well. Typically I dread the dentist but Dr. Chris' bedside manner made me feel at ease. He advised me on what was best for my situation and informed me of all of my options. Even after my surgery, I was nervous that there was something wrong with the healing process and the office took me in that night to assure me that everything was healing well. If I ever have to have my other two wisdom teeth removed I would without a question go back to Dr. Chris!

Little Rock Foreclosure
Little Rock Foreclosure
While it may be true that Little Rock was not as hard hit by the Real Estate bubble as some other parts of Little Rock Foreclosurethe Country, we have not been spared the wrath of the sub-prime mortgage crisis. There were times last year that every client that walked through my door had a problem with their mortgage and there are indications that another wave of foreclosures could strike this year. We were able to help most of our clients either walk away from truly bad mortgages or restructure salvageable mortgages in Chapter 13 to save their mortgage if it really wasn't so bad, but some were unable to save their home despite their best efforts.However, due to the terms of the mortgage contract, some mortgages were just not salvageable. However, some help for troubled homeowners may be on the horizon.
For the first time in several years, I finally have some hope that Congress wants to help the little guy in places like Little Rock and quit being beholden to the rich and powerful banks and special interests that have thus far prevented Congress from allowing local bankruptcy Judges to adjust these mortgages. Many people with an ability to pay have been deprived of their home by the failure of Congress to allow this sensible remedy to be implemented in Chapter 13. While I am not holding out much hope that a law change will be swift in coming, it would at least seem that many in Congress and the current administration are friendly to the idea of letting local Bankruptcy Judges adjust the terms of mortgage notes for the first time and it may actually happen.
Unlike other measures that promised 400,000 people could be helped only to see a handful qualify, projections are that such modification in bankruptcy could stem up to 25% of the foreclosures. This change in the bankruptcy law would allow the average American who has been taken by an unscrupulous mortgage broker to have a fair and sustainable mortgage loan based upon a real valuation of their home. As the various bills make their way through Congress, I will update this blog. In the meantime, if you care about stabilizing the housing market and keeping hard-working Americans in their home instead of having another empty shell on the block, urge your Representatives to put this power in the hands of the local bankruptcy Judges who understand the true value of homes in the area and can provide fair and reasonable interest rates and terms that would allow the bank to be repaid a fair amount and your neighbor to pay for and stay in their home. It is time for common sense…I hope.

The track/album takes it's name from a short mantra to the dark Buddhist god Mahakala, or four faced Mahakala (he appears in 75 different forms)as he's pictured on the front cover of the CDR. The 'wall' on offer here is of the fairly rapid paced variety and it's built around an electro throbbing & droning judder, that's joined by a tight/looped jittering static tone. Through-out the hour long track the structure of the 'wall' remains fairly unmoving and set, though at times the elements do seem to shift very slightly their patterns and speeds; but this is probably ones imagination, because if you randomly drop down anywhere in the track it seems all very uniformed. On the whole it's an ok 'wall' ,and at times it gets quite hypnotic, but your attention offen wanes & it's just it lacks that special/ almost magical appealing edge. This means at its hour length this starts to get tiresome, and one starts to glance at the time left on the track which is never a good sign.
Static Mantra certainly have a interesting and original obsession behind their 'wall-making'- it's just a pity that "Om Shri Mahakala Hung Phet" doesn't really stand up to the projects concept, and your left with a rather medico slice of HNW.

- Description:
- Returns parent of an object if the object is proxy, otherwise objNull. In case of backpack, the parent is a weaponholder or a cargo space of a vehicle or the unit carrying it. Unit in a vehicle will return the vehicle as parent.
Another good use of objectParent is when a static weapon is known and one needs to check if it is assembled or not. objectParent _staticWeapon will return objNull if weapon is unpacked, or backpack object if packed.
ⓘWhen used on a soldier, if the soldier is in a vehicle, this command will return soldier's vehicle. Apart from being faster than vehicle command, it is also more reliable, as when used on dead crew inside a vehicle, it returns the vehicle object, where as vehicle command may surprisingly return unit object instead. For example, to delete a unit which is in a vehicle, execute:
objectParent _unit deleteVehicleCrew _unit;
- Example 1:
_weaponholder = objectParent _mybackpack;
- Example 2:
- Create and place created backpack in front of player:
_backpackContainer = "B_TacticalPack_rgr" createVehicle [0,0,0]; _weaponHolder = objectParent _backpackContainer; _weaponHolder setPos (player modelToWorld [0,5,0]);
- Example 3:
- Check if player is on foot:
_isOnFoot = isNull objectParent player;
- Example 4:
- Detect if player is in commander turret of a vehicle:
_isVehicleCommander = player isEqualTo commander objectParent player;

# km : a software for RNA-seq investigation using k-mer decomposition # ## Introduction ## This tool was developed to identify and quantify the occurence of single nucleotide variants, insertions, deletions and duplications in RNA-seq data. Contrary to most tools that try to report all variants in a complete genome, here we instead propose to focus the analysis on small regions of interest. Given a reference sequence of interest (typically a few hundred base pairs) around a known or suspected mutation in a gene of interest, all possible sequences that can be be created between the two end k-mers according to the sequenced reads will be reported. A ratio of variant allele vs WT will be computed for each possible sequence constructed. ## Requirements ## * Python 2.7.6 or later * Jellyfish 2.1 or later (http://www.genome.umd.edu/jellyfish.html) * (Optional) Matplotlib A jellyfish database of quality and adapter trimmed sequences must first be prepared using the following script: ``` #!bash usage: prepare [-h] [-z] [-m MAX_RAM] outfile [infiles [infiles ...]] prepare: error: too few arguments ./prepare -z -m 16 sample.jf fastq/*.gz ``` ## Usage ## ``` #!bash usage: find_mutation [-h] [-c [COUNT]] [-p [RATIO]] [-g] [-v] [reference_fn [reference_fn ...]] jellyfish_fn ./find_mutation query_examples/NPM1.fa sample.jf ``` Here we are looking for a common 4-bp duplication that occurs in some leukemias, and that is especially troublesome to detect since it occurs a few base pairs from the start of the last exon. Most standard mapping techniques will miss this variant. Running the find_mutation command takes a few seconds and returns an output similar to this: ``` #!txt Database Query Type Variant name Ratio Expression Sequence Reference ratio Reference expression Reference sequence Info sample.jf NPM1 Insertion 93:/TCTG:93 0.528 9020.0 CCAAGAGGCTATTCAAGATCTCTGTCTGGCAGTGGAGGAAGTCTCTT 0.472 8076.8 CCAAGAGGCTATTCAAGATCTCTGGCAGTGGAGGAAGTCTCTT cluster 1 n=1 real 0m6.712s user 0m0.203s sys 0m0.312s ``` which shows that a TCTG insertion was found at position 93 of the refence sequence. ## Output description ## Each line represents a path that was constructed from the reference sequence. - Database: name of the Jellyfish kmer table queried - Query: name of the reference sequence examined - Type: type of mutation found (Insertion, Deletion or Substitution). A Reference type used to identify path without mutation - Variant name: A description of the modification in the format start_position:deleted_bases/inserted_bases:end_position - Ratio: estimated ratio for the mutated allele represented by this path - Expression: estimated expression level for the mutated allele (coverage) - Sequence: sequence of the mutated path - Reference ratio: estimated ratio of the reference allele - Reference expression: estimated expression level for the reference - Reference sequence: reference sequence used - Info: supplementary information regarding the quantification method. ..* vs_ref means that each alternate path is compared in expression with the whole reference sequence. ..* cluster indicates that all alternate path in a subregion extending by k bases on each side of all overlapping mutations are considered at once to evaluate the expression of each Using the -g argument, one can also obtain a coverage graph for the two variants, for example: ![figure_1.png](https://bitbucket.org/repo/r5Xnqb/images/49226954-figure_1.png) ### To do: ### * Complete this list.

Hide Forgot
Description of problem:
I've installed Fedora 7 test4 on my HP/Compaq NC8430 laptop. The default
resolution I got in X was 1280x1024, which is quite far from the 1680x1050 the
computer is capable of. I tried to change this by choosing
The list of resolutions in the "Settings" tab had no other alternatives than
1280x1024, so I looked at the "hardware" tab. The video card was correctly
identified as "Ati Radeon Mobility X1600", and the Monitor type was set to
"(autoconfigured)". I clicked on "Configure" for the monitor and chose "LCD
Panel 1680x1050", and clicked OK. I then logged out and in again to restart X.
Now the resolution was 1400x1050, but wouldn't go higher. The "Hardware" tab
still says "LCD Panel 1680x1050" for my monitor, so the system is obviously
aware that my monitor is capable of 1680x1050, but still it will not accept
anything higher than 1400x1050.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Highly reproducible.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 7 test 4 on a laptop of said model.
2. Try to set the resolution to 1680x1050 using said procedure.
3. Get frustrated.
Actual results:
X running at nothing higher than 1400x1050.
Expected results:
X running at 1680x1050.
Additional info:
Sorry, there's no fixing this, at least not any time soon.
The Xxxxx series of radeons are based on the R500 chip, and the open source
radeon driver does not support these chips yet. As such, we are forced to use
the vesa driver, and the vesa driver can only set the display to the set of
modes listed in the card's video BIOS. It's almost certain that your card's
video BIOS simply doesn't list a mode for 1680x1050, and that the closest one is
(You can verify this by running:
% grep Mode: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
which will print the mode sizes available in your video BIOS.)
Upstream Xorg is working on native support for this chip, but until that
happens, there's no fixing this bug. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Oil, Gas Investment Resources Ramping Up in 4Q
As 2017 winds down, select energy funds are anticipating a pick-up in investments in 2018. In many cases, investor response to capital raising has been positive, resulting in funds closing sooner than expected during the fourth quarter and well above original targets.
Earlier this week, EnCap Investments LP closed EnCap Energy Capital Fund XI LP above target at $7 billion. Fund XI will provide growth capital to experienced upstream-focused teams in North America. The firm's prior fund, EnCap Energy Capital Fund X LP, closed at $6.5 billion in April 2015. Since the firm's inception in 1988, EnCap has managed approximately $34 billion of capital commitments on behalf of more than 350 institutional investors, investing in more than 240 companies.
"Fund XI allows us to continue to build upon our 29-year track record of building companies in the upstream sector with proven high-quality management teams," said Doug Swanson, a managing partner. "The opportunity set for investment remains compelling and dynamic and we are pleased to have a new pool of capital from a diverse range of investors to begin taking advantage of opportunities in the marketplace."
Separately, Houston-based Post Oak Energy Capital LP closed Post Oak Energy Partners IV LP in early November at its hard cap of $600 million. The company expects to begin investing capital from its latest fund in early 2018 and will focus primarily on equity investments in North American oil and gas companies, oilfield services and related infrastructure. Funding will be used for growth capital, development acceleration, acquisitions and recapitalization. Since forming Fund I in late 2011, Post Oak has invested in 25 companies, primarily focused on upstream oil and gas investments, with two oilfield services and two midstream investments.
Finally, Ridgemont Equity Partners, a middle-market buyout and growth equity investor based in Charlotte, North Carolina, also announced in early November that it closed Ridgemont Equity Partners Energy Opportunity Fund LP above its original target with $320 million in commitments. The EOF is a companion fund to Ridgemont's $995-million flagship fund, Ridgemont Equity Partners II LP. The EOF and REP II invest side-by-side in the firm's energy investments.
"We have scaled our platform to capitalize on the attractive opportunities we are seeing in energy today," said John Shimp, partner at Ridgemont. "It is important to have a long-term view in this industry and we have been active but disciplined in our deployment of capital through commodity cycles."
The principals of Ridgemont have deployed more than $4.0 billion in 141 investments since 1993 and more than a quarter of the firm's invested capital has been funded in energy strategy investments. Ridgemont's equity commitments typically range between $50-200 million for opportunities in upstream, midstream and energy and power related services.

Accepted: 26 May 2004
EROS 2 (Expérience de Recherche d'Objets Sombres) conducted a survey of the SMC between July 1996 and February 2003 in two EROS broad-band colours, VE and RE. The photometric data of 4.2 million stars have been searched for behaviour typical of R Coronae Borealis (RCB) candidates such as drastic changes in magnitude. Five objects have been found, four of them being catalogued in the Simbad database as RAW 21, RAW 233, RAW 476, and [MH95] 431 with confirmed carbon-rich atmospheres, characteristic of RCB. From the EROS 2 light curve of RAW 21 and its spectrum reported by [CITE], we confirm that it is the first RCB to be found in the SMC. The other objects are new RCB candidates with absolute luminosity and colour close to those found for RCBs in the LMC. We propose that 2 of them are DY Per-like RCBs.

Yesterday was a daily day.
Want to know what I did? Absolutely nothing interesting. Not even anything I can pretend was interesting unless you're dying to know that the tantalizing smells coming from the crock-pot were a constant distraction, or you have an inordinate fondness for the details of our laundry and vacuuming habits. (And whoever decided that putting carpet in the dining room was a good idea, anyway?) So I'll take this opportunity of blah nothingness to pat myself on the back for knocking six things off the Mother Load - none of which are interesting enough to tell you about - and then we'll move on.
1. We were off to a blazingly early start at 6am this morning. (Yes, in fact, it IS Saturday.) Wyatt and Tate are helping at an airshow today and Did Not Want To Be Late. I'm thankful for that attitude, truly, though they're a wee bit over-zealous. At least their granny (or great-aunt?) won't tease them when they come to visit, with, "Oh look! It's the Late G****s!" (Kerry told me that story.)
2. As I was driving home from dropping them off at the airport I saw two bald eagles. I remember when I was growing up they were very rare, and now we see them all the time.
3. So, hurray (!), all the boybarians are occupied this morning, and I am getting ready for a party tomorrow. Wyatt is fifteen, FIFTEEN! His real birthday was Wednesday, which we observed at Coldstone - thanks for the gift-cards, Aunty Tam-Tam :D But, in keeping with family tradition, the real party is tomorrow.
4. Each boy likes a different treat for his birthday. Not so much cake. And for Wyatt, it's raspberry pie. In all humility, the BEST raspberry pie in the entire world. Which requires the best raspberries in the entire world. Good thing we live here, in the PNW. This is berry-growing heaven. Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, huckleberries, marionberries, boysenberries, salmonberries... and more.
Sure, all year long we can buy berries... from California. And we eat them. But in the summer, when our berries are ripe we realize we've been duped. Those California berries are practically flavorless. Like berry-flavored water. Our berries don't mess around. The downside is that they have a shelf-life of about ten minutes (okay, a couple days, tops) before they'd better be frozen, cooked into something, made into jam, or eaten. No problem.
This year I'll get pictures of the pie and share the recipe. Promise.
5. And if I forget we'll blame Motherhood Amnesia. You know about this, right? All you moms with kids underfoot, and hectic lives? I can get so engrossed in the daily moments, and training, and cleaning, and schooling, and laundry, and everything, that I gloss right over what's happening in the world. Oblah-blah? Debt? Royal wedding? Wiener-gate? Whatever. I'm sure most of what's happening isn't worth remembering anyway.
6. The things I WILL remember are more likely to be ridiculous. Like the boys all dissolving into hysteria yesterday, thanks to this clip, which is totally safe for work and family, but may give you an ear-worm that will last All. Day. Long. You're welcome. I heard the boys, throughout the rest of the day, imitating Gimli - I've heard enough. Shoot him.
7. It's just possible that I'm not the most culturally sensitive person on the planet. Because I really fail to see how this song could ever be a big hit. Even in Russia. Apparently the original lyrics are NOT tro-lo-lo-lo-lo, but Я скачу по прерии на своем жеребце, мустанге таком-то, а моя любимая Мэри за тысячу миль отсюда вяжет для меня чулок, which translates, loosely (?) as:
I'm riding the prairie on my stallion, a mustang as such, and my sweetheart Mary now knits a stocking for me, a thousand miles away from here.
Well. The artist claimed it was a naughty song (I don't want to begin to contrive how that works) and he couldn't publish the lyrics at that time. Or we could infer that Brezhnev had a low tolerance for lounge singers. You choose.
8. Wait! Something DID happen yesterday. I received yet another forwarded email from an uncle I haven't seen in a couple of years. It contained some Very Useful Advice, which I'll share with you now. Because that's the kind of friend I am. Are your ready? Okay.
Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or play with it, just pee on it and walk away.
Alrighty then. Now those are words to live by.
9. Surprise! My neighbor, whose husband manages a restaurant, has just invited Gunnar and me out to lunch, so I'm publishing without editing and heading out the door.
Happy Saturday, friends.

Instead of answering the question, Pittman stuck to his talking-points: "We have a fantastic operating business that produces almost $2 million in OIBDA [operating income before depreciation and amortization]. We spend that money to service debt." Later in the interview, Pittman noted, "This is one of the last big LBOs. It's got a lot of debt on it, the good news is, we're addressing that now."

Optical & Contact Lenses
Fill Your Vision Prescription At Avery Eye Clinic
Reasons to Consider
- No Waiting in Lines
- Great Prices
- Personalized Service
- Knowledgeable Staff
- Quick Access to Your Doctor if Necessary
We offer a full-service optical department designed to provide you with caring, dependable service and special pricing.
In the past, glasses and contact lenses were the only options available to correct vision problems, also referred to as refractive conditions. With the latest advancements in technology, excimer lasers and surgical procedures have provided several other options to correct vision problems. The important question is to find the procedure that is best for your eyes and specific vision requirements.
Because contact lenses temporarily alter the shape of the cornea, patients interested in LASIK vision correction should stop wearing their contact lenses for a minimum of two weeks if they wear soft contacts, or six weeks if they wear hard contacts, before the testing is completed for the surgical correction.
We offer a great selection of frames, sunglasses, and special pricing

By Jon Cronin, Editor
A Long Island City teen could face 25 years in prison after allegedly killing a 20-year-old Astoria man on Dec. 2, the Queens district attorney said.
Queens DA Richard Brown stated that at approximately 4:10 p.m., in front of 14-01 36th St. in Astoria, Javyn McNish, 19, was allegedly caught on video shooting Jarrel Lewis, 20, twice in the torso and once in the hand.
McNish, 19, of 21st Street in Long Island City, was arraigned on Dec. 4 in Queens Criminal Court before Judge Danielle Hartman and charged with second-degree murder and two-counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
The Judge held McNish without bail and ordered him to return to court on Dec. 18. If convicted, the defendant faces up to 25 years to life in prison.
"The senseless killing of this young man is another example of why my office remains vigilant in the fight to rid the streets of Queens County of illegal firearms," Brown said. "The defendant showed no respect for human life when he viciously shot a 20-year-old man who had a long life ahead of him. He will be vigorously prosecuted."

Party Central Committee, State Council Appoint SSE Official
06 May 2018
The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) held a general staff meeting on May 4. Liu Shiyu, Chairman and Party Secretary of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), was present and delivered a speech. Zhong Haidong, Director of the No. 4 Cadres Bureau of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, announced the decision made by the Party Central Committee and the State Council: Huang Hongyuan was appointed Party Secretary of the SSE and nominated as the candidate for Chairman of the SSE Board of Governors (Vice-Ministerial Level). The SSE has held the 8th Session of the 4th Board of Governors meeting, in which Huang Hongyuan was elected Chairman of the SSE Board of Governors according to legal procedures.
Liu Shiyu said that the adjustment of person in charge of the SSE is the result of the overall considerations and careful study by the Party Central Committee and the State Council according to the work needs and the construction of the SSE leadership, and it has fully shown the high importance attached by the Party Central Committee and the State Council to the construction of the capital market and the CSRC system. The leadership team and all staff of the SSE should steadfastly uphold the decision of the Party Central Committee, continue to further study and implement Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the requirements at the 19th CPC National Congress, and make sure to get a good grasp of them and put them into implementation. The SSE should firmly establish the "4 Kinds of Consciousness" (about politics, general situation, core and benchmark), adhere to the "4 Kinds of Confidence" (in the socialist road with Chinese characteristics, theory, system and culture), and live up to the "4 Kinds of Compliance" (namely, Party members comply with Party organizations, minority complies with majority, lower organizations comply with higher ones, and all Party organizations and all Party members comply with the CPC National Congress and the CPC Central Committee), as well as implement the task on comprehensively strengthening the Party discipline and continue to boost the Party construction of the SSE. The SSE should resolutely implement the deployments at the 19th CPC National Congress, the National Financial Work Conference, the Central Economic Work Conference and the "Two Sessions" (the NPC & CPPCC sessions), focus on the three major tasks of serving the real economy, preventing and controlling financial risks and deepening financial reform, and steadily promote work items such as having innovative companies listed, implementing its front-line regulatory responsibility and unswervingly facilitating the opening-up of the capital market with an enthusiastic spirit. The SSE should also strengthen the leadership team building, build a high-quality professional team of cadres and talents, intensify the work style construction, cement surveys and studies, and enhance its service capacity, thus continuing to make new achievements in its work.

Treating Pain Through the Sympathetic Nervous System
It sounds impossible that SGB, this simple and painless office procedure, could succeed in relieving severe chronic pain where all of these other highly technical, expensive, and invasive methods have failed. It seems impossible that SGB could relieve a "failed back", which is the term orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons use to describe the unfortunate chronic back pain patients who are made worse by surgeries, often multiple, and whom surgeons will no longer touch, until you realize SGB works through a completely different part of our human physiology: the Sympathetic Nervous System.
The Sympathetic Nervous System is an extensive web of nerves which reaches to every part of the body. It can be thought of as a nerve net, massively interconnected throughout the body. A treatment which acts on one part of the net, i.e. blocking sympathetic nerves in the Sphenopalatine Ganglion SGB, which happens to be located behind the nose, can have a profound effect upon distant parts of the body, i.e. the low back. The point is that none of the standard ways of treating chronic pain, medication, surgery, chiropractic, acupuncture, make use of this powerful system. One reason is that it is difficult to gain access to the Sympathetic Nervous System, as most parts of it are buried deep in the body and require invasive surgery or deep injections to reach them. Most practitioners are unaware that the exception to this is the Sphenopalatine Ganglion, which is exposed to the outside world because it is located in the nose, and can easily be reached by the nasal applicator used in SGB.
Now that we understand this unique Sympathetic Nervous System aspect, it is no longer a surprise that SGB works where other treatments have failed, no matter how complex, expensive, or high-tech they may be—it is a fundamentally different approach, using a different way to affect the pain. In other words, it does not matter how many different treatments, surgeries, medications, one has tried and failed with—chances are none of the previous doctors have tried working through the Sympathetic Nervous System, which often turns out to be the key to the problem. A very painful condition, known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), where the hand may become painful, cold, and discolored following an injury, was once thought to be responsive only to a deep injection nerve block (i.e. Stellate Ganglion block in the neck). In a number of cases, however, the pain was controlled equally well by a simple SGB—such is the interconnectedness of the Sympathetic System.

Instonians claimed the Kirk Cup for the first time in more than a decade when they confirmed their favourites' status with an emphatic 8-2 win over Mossley at Stormont in the Boxing Day final at Stormont.
The Ulster Premier League leaders started the game as hot favourites against the Newtownabbey team as they attempted to lift the famous trophy for the first time since 2004.
You have to go back to 1983 for Mossley's last triumph in the competition when were shock-troopers in beating Lisnagarvey but there was to be no upset on this occasion.
Mossley had lost 6-1 and 2-0 in the teams' two league meetings so they were really up against it on Boxing Day as they attempted to defy the odds.
Their cause wasn't helped when they conceded two goals to Alan Patterson in the opening six minutes.
But the underdogs battled courageously throughout and it was only when Inst scored four times without reply after the break that the outcome was put beyond doubt.
However Steven Redpath's team emerged deserving winners despite surviving some late pressure from Mossley who could have scored twice in the dying minutes had it not been for a couple of great saves from the Inst keeper.
Instonians' triumph will have boosted confidence in the camp ahead of the remainder of the Premier League campaign as they kept on course for a domestic hockey double-success.
Team captain Andrew Corry was delighted with his side's performance against the Newtownabbey side.
"We got off to a perfect start when Alan scored two excellent goals but, all credit to Mossley because they dug deep and made it hard for us." he said.
"We said at half-time that, with us leading 4-2, what ever team got the next goal was going to be crucial and fortunately it was us.
"Hopefully our win will act as a springboard for the rest of the season as there is still a lot of hockey to be played.
"Our next target is to win the Ulster Premier League and after that go on and qualify for next season's Irish Hockey League but we are under no illusions as to how difficult that will be.
"But we'll enjoy our Kirk Cup win first before we start to think about the rest of the season as it's a special trophy and it's been a while since we last won it."
Patterson got Inst off to a dream start when he scored the opener after only 50 seconds, finishing clinically after a swift passing movement in the circle and he added his second five minutes later.
Jordan Robinson gave Mossley some hope when he rifled in the first penalty corner of the game in the eighth minute.
But goals from William Robinson and Stephen Kelso made it 4-1 only for Robinson to get his second in fine style and make it 4-2 at half-time.
However Inst turned the screw after the interval and Andrew Coulter's 40th minute set-piece made it 5-2, leaving Mossley with a near-impossible task.
Further goals followed from James Dowling, who got two, and Stephen Kelso and there was no way back for a gallant Mossley side who, with a little luck, could have reduced the deficit after a strong finish.

60th Birthday One Liners is the place for short sayings, messages, phrases about getting old which are perfect to send to a friend or family member congratulating them on reaching the grand old age of sixty
You are the oldest you have ever been, but you are the youngest you will ever be again.
Of late you appear
To have reached that stage
When people who look old
Are only your age.
You have the body of a god
Avenge yourself
Live long enough to be a problem to your kids!
You get enough exercise just pushing your luck.
Living right doesn't really make you live longer, it just seems like longer!
You used to get lost in the shuffle; now you just shuffle along with the lost.
On your birthday think of these wise words of Moe, from the Simpsons
Call this an unfair generalization if you must,
but old people are no good at everything.

London, England
Field Trip Day: East London
Join Field Trip in East London for an afternoon exploration of the city's secrets
Join Field Trip in East London as we explore the most vibrant corner of England's capital. From Shakespeare to Banksy, mighty heels continue to pound these roads. Walk with us as we follow in their footsteps; from its own Little Shop of Horrors, to its canal backstreets, from its street art and live music, to its local bakehouses and flower markets. You'll even get to pet a pig on a farm smack bang in the middle of Hackney.
With a legacy of being both bawdy and progressive, a home to nonconformists and artists, weavers and furniture makers, docks, railways and industry, the neighborhoods of East London are many things at once. William the Conqueror held his court on streets that were later waked by Marlowe and Jack the Ripper. Once the heart of the English suffragette movement, residents fled into underground stations while destruction rained from the skies in WWII. East End London is not a picture of history, it is history being written.
Field Trip Day is an afternoon of local discovery, challenges, unique opportunities, and hidden surprises. Armed with the Field Trip app and your wits, an afternoon's adventure will reveal the neighborhood's secrets from William Blake to bicycle jump courses, from tea to taxidermy.
Saturday, August 24th, 2013
3pm-5:30pm, followed by after party

Power Pop
Power pop is a popular musical genre that draws its inspiration from 1960s British and American pop and rock music.
It typically incorporates a combination of musical devices such as strong melodies, crisp vocal harmonies, economical arrangements, and prominent guitar riffs. Instrumental solos are usually kept to a minimum, and blues elements are largely downplayed. Recordings tend to display production values that lean toward compression and a forceful drum beat. Instruments usually include one or more electric guitars, an electric bass guitar, a drum kit, and sometimes electric keyboards or synthesizers.
While its cultural impact has waxed and waned over the decades, power pop is among rock's most enduring subgenres.
