# Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe/Chapter 9

The next article in The Weems Weekly is dated July 12, 1930 with the headline "Whistle Stop Growing by Leaps and Bounds." Opal Threadgoode is opening a salon because her husband won't let her cut hair at home anymore because it is causing his hens not to lay eggs. Dot Weems points out that residents will now be able to get their hair done, mail a letter and eat all on the same block. She tells her readers the Glass Family reunion was held and the food tasted better than it looked. Dot tells her readers she has been busy taking care of her husband because he hooked his finger while fishing.

## Analysis

The nature of life in the town of Whistle Stop is again seen in this article. The small size of the town is seen in Dot's statement about the opening of the salon.

# Fujitsu Siemens Loox 720

On 1 September 2004 Fujitsu Siemens released the Pocket Loox 720. One of the new generation of VGA PocketPCs, it ran Windows Mobile 2003 SE and featured:

## Specifications

* VGA screen (480x640) 3.6 inches
* 128MB RAM / 64MB Flash ROM
* 520 MHz Intel XScale processor
* WiFi 802.11b
* Bluetooth 1.2
* Compact Flash (CF) and Secure Digital(SDIO compatible) slots

## Related Models

The Pocket Loox 720 was released alongside the mid-range Pocket Loox 710, which contains most of the advanced features of the 720 but with slightly lower specifications.
In January 2005 the Pocket Loox 718, the 3rd member of the 7xx series, was released. Apart from the lack of a built-in camera, it is identical to the Pocket Loox 720.

## Community

An active community grew around this device, mainly in the forums of FirstLoox.org where multiple further discoveries and enhancements of the device's capabilities took place e.g. discovery of Audio out via the cradle, Audio in via the headphone socket, and independent activation of the VoIP speaker.

## Getting the most from your Loox

In most cases getting the best from your device will require installed additional software, which is usually downloadable from the Internet. To install this software you will usually need to double-click on the downloaded file on your desktop computer while your handheld device is in the cradle. If your downloaded file however ends in .cab you will need to copy this file to your handheld device (most simply by placing it in your "Synchronised Files" folder) and click on it on your PocketPC using Explorer.

### Why Moderate Exercise May Sometimes Help

A moderate amounts of aerobic exercise seem to help many depressed and healthy individuals.
At last, a word of advice. If you think you have a depression, you should seek professional help. It might be tempting for some people to try to exercise their way out of a depression, but chances are you might actually be making your condition worse. See next section for details.

# Demystifying Depression/The Genetic Link

Next page: Is Depression on the Rise?, Previous page: Depression and Ageing, Top: Demystifying Depression

## The Genetic Link

I have not brought up the genetic link up till now, but it is without doubt one of the primary risk factors. Depression seems to run in families, and even after the environmental effects are taken into account, the genetic link is still clearly there . Some studies have shown that approximately one out of every three people have a genetic predisposition to develop a depression. However, like in many other cases, the interplay between genes and environment is also relevant for depression: only about half of those with the genetic predisposition will actually develop the illness. In any case, should you have cases of depression among close blood relatives, do take it as a warning that you too might be at risk.
Note: A person is most closely related to their siblings, their parents, and their children. In either case, you share with them approximately 50% of your genes (for which there is variance among the breeding population). Grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nephews, and nieces are next: the shared portion is approximately 25%. In these cases, the conditional probability of having a depression knowing that your relative had a depression is higher than the above mentioned absolute probability of about one third. For relatives farther beyond the genetic proximity measure (cousins, etc.), the conditional probability approaches the absolute probability for the general population, and is therefore not quite as relevant as an indicator.

# Demystifying Depression/Tips for Good Sleep

Next page: The Controversy about Antidepressants, Previous page: Daily Routine, Top: Demystifying Depression

### Tips for Good Sleep

To conclude, I will present just a few tips on how to get a good night's sleep. These are especially important during a depression, but again, they also apply to anyone.
* No activities before going to sleep
You must avoid at all cost any adrenaline coming into your system before sleep time. Be especially careful of anything exciting or stressful. Yes, this includes most of television and even reading! Avoid also any physical exercise less than an hour before going to sleep. Always have in mind that a person with a depression will need longer than normal for the body to recover from any physical effort. Even healthy individuals should avoid doing sports at least a couple of hours before going to bed.
* Follow a steady sleep routine
Try going to bed always at the same time everyday. We all know how working in shifts and jet-lag affect sleep: do not emulate them by going to bed at random times each day!
* Give your body time to crash down
You cannot fall asleep while there is too much adrenaline running through your veins. It can take a while (even hours) before you crash down, and often people lie awake in bed waiting for sleep to come. The problem is that after a while it is very easy to start obsessing about not sleeping, which is a sure way of keeping yourself awake.
The idea is to only get ready for sleep once you have crashed down and feel tired. Before you actually get into bed, just lie there for a while (even with your clothes on), until you feel relaxed and tired.
* Go to bed early
There are several reasons why this is a good practise: foremost to be able to wake naturally rather than with an alarm clock; but also to avoid being out of sync with the solar cycle, and to give your body time to crash down.
* Make your bedroom your sanctuary
Do not have an office in the same room as where you sleep. Dedicate one room simply for sleeping, and make it as uncluttered as possible.
* Sleeping Medication
Sleep is the most important part of your day. If all other methods and tips on how to get a good night's sleep fail; talk to your doctor about taking a low dose sleeping medication.

# Demystifying Depression/The Role of Sports

Next page: Feeling Good vs Actual Improvement, Previous page: Suicide, Top: Demystifying Depression

## The Role of Sports

The role played by sports and physical exercise in depression is far more complex than either the sports good and sports bad mantras would lead one to assume. Moreover, I would say that this is one area where our current understanding of depression is sorely incomplete. Consequently, beware that much of the material in this section is conjectural. I am well aware that most people's gut will be to dismiss my conjectures as pure rubbish, since "everyone knows that sports are good for you". A couple of years ago I would have whole-heartedly agreed with them, but I have learnt otherwise in the meantime. Furthermore, read carefully and you will see that I do not deny that sports can be good for you. I simply add a poignant however to the issue of sports and depression.
This issue is complex enough to warrant a number of subsections. I will first make a distinction between the temporary improvement of mood brought by sports, versus the long-term actual improvement of the depression. Second, I will put forth the tentative mechanism of why moderate amounts of exercise can help to recover from depression. Third, I will describe the caveats of doing exercise to recover from a depression. At last, I will describe a real-world example of how sports can be used to make people be more active during a depression, with the drawback that recovery takes longer.
Sports or exercise is challenging for people experiencing depression primarily because of the engagement of mind, body and spirit. For example, persons depressed as a result of sexual trauma have spent an unknown length of time separated intellectually from their body(ies). One exercise that allows for a kind of autonomy while truly strengthening the body and connecting mind and body is lap swimming. Here an individual can focus on breathing as one would while engaged in meditation. There are also various kinds of disguises involved in swimming starting with swim goggles. The combination of the "mask" and the single swim lane results in a safe environment.
Swimming requires regular participation. The outcomes (for me) are still being recognized, but the main effort to connect or to reconnect the mind and the body through a concentrated routine of swimming for exercise are being realized.

# Demystifying Depression/The Burnout Syndrome

Next page: Happiness, Previous page: Quantifying Depression, Top: Demystifying Depression

## The Burnout Syndrome

There is much talk (at least in the Netherlands) about the so-called burnout syndrome. And as is often the case, there is more noise than signal in this discussion. First of all, in medical terms, there is no such thing as a burnout. There are depressions, period. A burnout is just a depression whose causes are mostly work-related. Remember that the person's attitude towards the task at hand plays an important role in the biochemistry of the brain. Should you have a job that you find boring and repetitive, or should the surrounding circumstances (overbearing boss, bad corridor atmosphere) make you feel uncomfortable about going to work every day, a depression is likely to develop.
Second, when a person is said to be burned out, what they have is a lingering depression from which they have not yet fully recovered. Also, there are plenty of mildly burned out individuals who have never received any kind of treatment. They often drone through life for years before the problem is diagnosed.
I made a section out of this issue precisely because the general attitude in this country is to dismiss burnout as just a psychological problem, thus being handled with a lot of complacency, or just ignored. This is all the more tragic if one considers the statistics which show the Netherlands to have some of the highest percentages of people affected by this problem. There is indisputably also a psychological component to burnout, but it goes far deeper than that.

# Demystifying Depression/What Is Depression

Next page: Normal Neuron Communication, Previous page: Introduction, Top: Demystifying Depression

## What is Depression?

Depression is a very real medical condition that involves both psychological and biological factors. It is not simply "in your head". Numerous studies have shown significant changes occur to the anatomy of the brain during the course of depression. Depression is a whole body illness, not only affecting the brain. Those with depression experience a wide variety of physical and mental symptoms. Strong emphasis should be placed on the fact that depressed mood is only one symptom of many involved in an illness that encompasses many.
According to the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) Depression is a common mental disorder that presents with depressed mood, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep or appetite, low energy, and poor concentration.

# Demystifying Depression/The Recovery Process

Next page: Recovery Guide, Previous page: The Buildup to a Depression, Top: Demystifying Depression

## The Recovery Process

Depending on your age, your general health status, how serious the depression was, and how well the recovery progresses, it typically takes between two months and two years before you can be fully recovered. Do not despair, however, because this certainly does not mean that during all this period you will feel as bad as in the beginning. The first few months are the hardest, but after that things will slowly improve, and little by little you will get your happiness and normality back. Moreover, remember that you only feel the nasty aspects of a depression when you go over your limits: you just have to be patient and to realise that your limits will indeed be very short during an extended period.
As the recovery progresses, you will feel not only that you can perform more concentration intensive activities and during longer periods, but also that your subjective mood improves. At some point you will be able to start working again, only for a couple of hours each day in the beginning, but increasingly more until you can work full time again. Finally, your mood should start approaching normality towards the later stages of the recovery: you should regain the feelings of fullness, vibrancy, and what is sometimes called the elan vital.

# Do-It-Yourself/Soap

Make soap from lard.

## Equipment

* Lard or some sort of fat or vegetable oil (as sunflower, olive oil).
* Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)
* Glass beaker and stirring rod.
* Bunsen burner or other means of heating solution.
* Mold for making soap bars (any flexible plastic container).

## Safety

Gloves, labcoat and appropriate eyeware should be worn when handling the 6M NaOH. It should be used in a well-ventilated area, preferably in a fume hood. DO NOT BREATHE THE FUMES. Wash with vinegar should you get some on your skin (have some vinegar handy before starting the experiment) -DO NOT wash with water!. Mixing lye with water results in a chemical reaction that creates extreme heat - hence, washing lye off your hands (for example) with water will only initiate that reaction on your hand, resulting in chemical burn.

## How to do

* Place 16 oz. (450 g) of lard (or any other fat, such as vegoil or butter) in a beaker.
* In another container add 2.1 oz. (60 g) of NaOH to 6 oz. (170g) of water (do not add water to NaOH it will splatter) stir to dissolve and let cool to 40ºC (110 F).
* Melt fat under low heat to 110°F and add NaOH solution with stirring until the base has completely reacted with the lard (about 20 to 30 minutes)
* Pour the mixture of base and lard into molds.
* Let this cool and sit for a day or two. Let the soap cakes cure for three weeks before using.

# Do-It-Yourself/Unclogging drains

Clogged drains can be a real nuisance. There are a few home-remedies you can try before calling a plumber.

## Products

Most people start off with a store-bought solution, which may or may not produce results. These products are typically $10-20(US) and be purchased cheapest at hardware stores.
Try using the plunger on the drain after letting it sit 15 minutes, then flushing with hot water while plunging like a crazyman. Make sure to get a good air seal on the plunger over the drain, if one is not obtained, try a bigger plunger.

## Home-Remedies

Several people have reported using Clorox bleach and/or Baking Soda instead of the commercial products, yielding better results.
Another trick, which may or may not work, is to plug up all the drains in the sink with towels, and run a hose full-blast down the drain, in an effort to blow out the clog.

## Remedies with tools

If the clog is between your drain and the nearest vent, a plunger can usually be used to loosen a clog, allowing it to continue down the pipe. The hope is that the next pipe is larger and thus it will not create another clog.
If a plunger doesn't work, a water bladder might. Connect the bladder onto a garden hose and insert it into the pipe/drain. When you turn the hose on the bladder will block the drain so the water will build up pressure and push the clog down the pipe. Be careful, though, if the water can find another way out, it will.
Depending on the layout of your pipes, you might be able to feed a snake into it to pull the clog out. Be careful not to damage your appliances, as most snakes are metal with a sharp point. Insert it into the pipe until you cannot push it any further. Then turn it clockwise and it will work its way through the clog. Once there is no more resistance it has breached the clog: gently pull it back and see what the clog was (wear gloves while doing this!)
* A plunger being used to clear a drain. For home use, it is best to have a separate plunger for dish sinks and toilets for sanitary reasons.
* A handheld drain auger

## Industry Professionals

If nothing else, call your local plumber.
