My Depression Was the Worst It Has Ever Been During My Pregnancy
What is a time of joy for many women was my darkest hour.
You will never find my car radio's volume (when it's working) set to an even number. If you get in my car, and wind the digital numbers to say, 16, I'll automatically roll it up or down a number.
When I pump gas, my "perfect pump" always aims for an ".01", like $20.01 or something like that.
If I'm baking gluten-free cheesy bread rolls I will put five or seven rolls on the pan, never 6, even if the package says that's the optimal number of rolls to bake.
The list goes on and on. From the pillows on my bed (five) to the elephant graveyard of razors in my shower (thee right now), I've been known to count everything. I try hard not to use the word "obsessed" too much, but for much of my life I've been obsessed with numbers -- mostly odd numbers to be exact.
My "Number Thing" is usually in the background now, I think a lot of it is force of habit, and I've even been known to be OK when a friend orders four eggrolls or six cookies instead of insisting that we order a fifth or seventh. I mostly go on my merry way these days, even if the numbers are always somewhere nibbling at the edge of my thoughts.
But lately, even though I've been feeling calmer than I have in quite some time, able to focus and move on if things don't go according my precise plans, my lone symptom to my previous gut-twisting anxiety and obsessive compulsive tendencies -- the counting -- has been coming around again, and I'm a little wary.
My number fixation was one of the first ways I tipped off my therapist that I had some major anxiety and control issues.
I remember going into her office my second week in Los Angeles, an ambulatory blob of raw nerves and self doubt. As our session began I told her about the problems I was having functioning in graduate school.
I was watching the clock like mad, determined to stay on an intensely regimented schedule that included being asleep -- not just in bed -- by 10:35pm. If I wasn't asleep by that time, and usually I wasn't, my anxiety would spike and I would begin to worry about how I was going to function the next day. This anxiety would keep me up through the night, heart pounding, giving myself extensions to the next acceptable hour of sleep: 11:35pm, 12:35pm, 1:35 -- all cycling down to the minimum 8.5, 7.5, 6.5, or "whatever-point-five" hours of sleep I could live with. The "point 5" kept the number odd for me, and kept me in control.
It also didn't help that I kept one of my clocks always set to Central Standard Time -- my last ditch effort at holding onto the happier life I had lived in St. Louis only weeks before. I know it doesn't make any sense at all now, but there is no sense when it comes to negotiating with an anxious and depressed mind. It was my last grip on control and I needed it. I did not want my body to fully adjust to LA life, if I could keep a toe in my former life, maybe that toe would become a foot, and that foot would become a leg and before long I'd be my old self again -- happy, light, and able to cope. Some of my closest friends don't even know this about me.
When my therapist asked me more about the numbers, and counting, I remember breaking down crying and letting it all pour out: there were three chairs in her office (good), there were 14 chairs in her waiting room (bad), she was located on the third floor (good), our appointment was at 12 noon (okay), I hadn't slept at all last night because I had completely botched a rehearsal I was running because I NEEDED to count the stains and cracks in the ceiling of the musty old rehearsal room I'd been working in (bad bad bad).
As we spoke, I remember cracking my knuckles three times, then stopping because a fourth time was "bad".
What began that day with my therapist was a long, twisty, ongoing conversation as to why I dubbed numbers "good" and "bad" and how the assignation of "good" or "bad" to a number was -- SHOCKER -- a reflection on the control or lack thereof I felt within myself. Blah blah blah.
But not blah blah blah. What seems so obvious and elementary in the landscape of mental health to me now, was groundbreaking to me at the time. I didn't have to explain it to her, SHE explained a lot of my fixation to ME. It was such a relief that I wasn't THE ONLY ONE who'd ever been this way.
Years, and countless ups, downs, therapies, and meds later, I mostly feel like I'm on the other side of things. My "calm days" outnumber my frantic days, and I've rediscovered the ability to "roll with the punches," a phrase that used to make me want to just "punch." Sure I have bouts of deep depression that leave me unshowered and searching for hours of escape on Netflix, but I've learned to dig through the anxiety that shrouds those days to get to the functioning participant in society that lives on the other side.
It's ongoing, and I accept that, but I can't help but notice that the "Number Thing" has popped up again with a little more I insistence than usual.
It started simply enough. I was taking my vitamins a couple weeks ago, and realized that on most nights I take six vitamins. I paused, considered if I should add another Omega capsule to the mix, then laughed it off. I'm taking the right amount of vitamins, no need to mess around with that.
But then I caught myself counting sips of water I took from my water bottle after exercising. 1, 2, 3, 4…5. I went for that fifth sip "just in case, can't be too careful." That same day, I was plucking my eyebrows in my car (admit it, it's one of the best places to do it), and I plucked an extra hair from my right brown just so I would make an odd number. I hadn't even realized I was counting, I couldn't tell you the number of hairs I plucked, I just FELT the rhythm of an even number and knew there was one more after that to make it odd.
I felt more than a little kooky after that.
I've noticed numbers more often than not since then, and though I've chosen to ignore them -- empty seats in the movie theater row I'm sitting in, number of dirty dishes in the sink, chips left in the bag -- I find that I have to actively remind myself that nothing bad will happen. Four chips in the bag will not jinx my car trip.
The temptation to count every step I take from my door to my car or fret about how many "x's" and "o's" I end an email with is louder in my ear than it has been for a while.
I'm not afraid, but I am slightly nervous. The relative calm I enjoy now was hard won, and I frankly feel a little betrayed by my own brain. "BUT I THOUGHT YOU AND I WERE GETTING ALONG!" I sometimes want to shout, when I start teetering on the edge of unglued. Could it be that I'm obsessing about my numbers obsession right now, thus causing the "Number Thing" to exacerbate?
I'm tucking all of this away to talk to a professional about. It may be nothing, it may be something. I may be making something out of nothing, but I feel I owe it to myself to acknowledge my concern and not push it away, like I'm so skilled at doing.
What I do know is that when I was, in the midst of my anxiety and depression, talking to or hearing about other people's troubles made me feel less solitary or "weird." This post felt like an admission, both to myself and to you. I'm typically very guarded in my personal life, and the evidence of my anxiety rarely gets this much spotlight. I realize this sounds kind of ridiculous considering I regularly share my embarrassments and experiences on the Internet, but there's always that small percentage I hold back. A lot of what I've shared in this post lives in that small percentage.
And I don't have a solution. I don't even have a whole lot of wisdom to share. I only have experience. I hope that by sharing this part of my life with you, you can feel slightly less solitary and "weird" about parts of yours. Somehow, just writing this, acknowledging my worry, makes me feel a bit more in control.
I'm not even going to look at the word count on this post.
Do you count things? What is your "Number Thing"? What are your red flags? How do you cope?

The Rise of the Microsite Church
Posted by Allen White in Uncategorized on February 5, 2015
By Allen White
Multisite churches have multiplied ministries and reached the lost very effectively over the past decade in the US. What started as a desperate need for expansion at Seacoast Church's Mt. Pleasant, SC campus and the subsequent denial by their city council to let them expand led to the launch of a new model that duplicated services across counties, states and eventually countries in the case of churches like Saddleback. The fix to a zoning problem became a launch pad for evangelism. Now, for the next wave.
A while back on a coaching visit to Seacoast Church, Josh Surratt mentioned to me that a family from their church had moved to the state of Maine and had 40 people meeting in their living room every Sunday watching the Seacoast service online. I said to Josh, "Maybe it's time to redefine what a campus is."
Prior to this, a multisite campus had always been a designated building, either rented or owned, some distance from the main/broadcast/original campus that provided a pastoral staff, worship, children's ministry and other things associated with a church. Now there's an opportunity for a new model that requires less overhead and could be put in any situation in a town of any size anywhere in the world.
While many churches will reach into the suburbs or into other metropolitan areas, few churches are reaching into small places. I don't think it's on the radar to plant a multisite campus in Possum Kingdom, South Carolina, the hometown of Bo and Bear from the band Needtobreathe. If you're not familiar with Possum Kingdom, it's right next to Honea Path. There are a lot of towns that no one's ever heard of before and some of them have very strange names but every town has a group of people who could make up a microsite church.
Now some would object and say, "Doesn't every small town have some sort of a small church already?" and the answer is yes. The problem is that we live in a national culture. We watch the same television programs and listen to the same music whether we live in New York City or in Podunk Holler, Arkansas. Small churches in small towns cannot compete with what the culture has to offer. It's just hard to get people's attention. There are churches, however, that have proven to develop effective ministries in our culture that have a broad reach. By bringing a microsite campus into a small town, you can bring in the quality and effectiveness of a large church ministry and package it for a living room. You could reach not just thousands of people in a metropolitan area but dozens to hundreds of people in a small town. If you do the math, there are more people in small towns than there are in large cities.
The idea of Microsite Churches is seminal at this point. A few churches are beginning to pilot this model or are considering a pilot. Let's think about the keys to a worship service: you need music of some sort which can be prerecorded on video with subtitles and offered in a living room either through a download or DVD. You need teaching. Teaching on video is very common. I worship at a very large multi-site church and the teaching is by video. I'm at a multisite campus I have only ever met the senior pastor one time, but the video teaching makes you feel like you're really there. The fact is when churches have the pastors on a screen, people will watch the screen even if the pastor is teaching live in the room.
There are a lot of things to think through: giving, childcare, counseling, marriage ceremonies, etc. But, let's start with these few paragraphs and discuss what might be next. What do you like? What do you not like? Leave a comment below. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
Should Our Group Take a Break for the Holidays?
Posted by Allen White in Small Group Questions on November 17, 2010
By Allen White
The season that starts with Thanksgiving and goes through New Year's Day is pretty intense for most of us. (Or does the season start at Halloween now?) Office parties, family gatherings, school functions, church services, shopping, shopping, shopping, cooking, cooking, cooking – boy, the list goes on. With all of this activity going on, should your group take a break? Well, a lot depends on your group. Here are a few things to think about:
1. Ask your group. While some people feel that they can barely come up for air during the holidays, others might experience a great deal of loneliness. Even though it's a busy time, most people are still working every day and going about their daily routine. Before you decide to cancel, see what your group wants to do. If there are three or four who would like to meet, then you might consider meeting. Please note, however, that if your schedule has gone berserk, then it might be good to take a break for your own sake. But, make sure that your group is taken care of. Will someone spend Thanksgiving alone? Maybe a group member could include them in a family gathering.
2. Have a party. There is a healthy ebb and flow to small groups. Most groups can complete a study or two during the months of August through November, then will start again in January. Your group is not "more spiritual" by persisting in an inductive Bible study through the holidays. But, there is more to group that study. Having just completed a study or two in the Fall, your group has something to celebrate. Throw a party. This might even be a good time to invite prospective members and neighbors to check out the group and possibly join for your next study.
3. Serve together as a group. The holiday season offers many opportunities to serve the underprivileged in the community. Homeless shelters, soup kitchens and children's homes have a great deal of needs, especially during the holidays. While many groups and organizations will help during the Christmas season, the reality is that these groups have needs year-round. Christmas is a great time to introduce your group to serving together. If they are interested, then plan to serve on a regular basis.
4. Give your group the next step. Some groups continue to meet during the holidays. That's perfectly okay. Some groups decide to take a break. Some groups will follow one of the suggestions above. Whatever your group chooses to do, you will want to announce to your group when you will start again in January. They need to know that there is a next step. Announce your start date and maybe even your new study.
What's Next for Your Group?
Posted by Allen White in Small Group Strategy on October 7, 2010
By Allen White
Now that your group has spent a few weeks together in the Fall study, you probably have a sense of whether or not you actually like each other and want to continue as a group. Your first thought might be "Continue? What? I thought that this was a six-week commitment." And, you're absolutely right, this was only a six-week commitment. I want to thank you for honoring your commitment. This six weeks has been significant in the lives of your group members.
This is not bait and switch. Six weeks is six weeks, fair and square. If you aren't planning to continue with your group, we do need to think about a couple of things:
1. Is there anyone in your group who has shown interest in continuing the group? If you group has passed around the leadership each week, you probably have a sense of who would be capable of moving the group forward. Who truly cares about the group? Who has attended the most faithfully? Who called when they couldn't make it? These are the people who care the most about the group and very well could lead the group forward.
2. If there is no apparent leader, are there other groups that you can recommend to your group members? Check to see if there is another group like yours or if there is another group that meets nearby. Don't just send your group to the wolves, I mean the web. Point them to a couple of specific choices.
If you want to continue with your group, now is the time to decide on your next study. This is the fourth week of the study. It usually works best for groups, especially new groups, to decide on their next study before the current study ends. There are so many choices for studies out there that a period of indecision, even just a couple of weeks, could easily cause your group to falter.
If your group would like to follow the next series at Brookwood Church, we will spend the eight weeks following The Me I Want to Be series looking at the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-13). There are a couple of options that I would like to recommend for your group:
1. Life's Healing Choices is an 8-week study from Saddleback Church. Rick Warren teaches on the DVD. There is also a hard cover book that you can read along with the study.
Click Here to Review the Life's Healing Choices Study Guide
Click Here to Review the Life's Healing Choices DVD
2. Living a Blessed Life by Lance Witt, a teaching pastor at Saddleback Church, is a 6-week study. This study is an enriching, verse-by-verse discussion of the Beatitudes. A teaching DVD is also available.
Click Here for more information on Living a Blessed Life.
3. Message Discussion Guide. The discussion guide is written and posted every Sunday nearly year-round. The guide will help your group apply the teaching from Perry's messages to your daily life. It is available as a download at brookwoodchurch.org/discussionguide
Now if your group has been around for a while or if none of these studies interest you, you are welcome to study what your group is the most interested in. We have a wide variety of Small Group DVDs at the Brookwood Bookstore including studies by Andy Stanley, John Ortberg, Chip Ingram, and many others. You can check the DVD out of the Small Group Library, and then just order the books that you need for your group. When your order comes in, your group members can purchase the study guides from the bookstore.
The most important thing is to make a decision in the next week. If your group is new, you may find that they don't have much of an opinion about the next study at this point. That's okay. Just choose one of the options I mentioned for the Beatitudes study and go from there. If you have any questions, your coach will certainly help you.

Arctic Sea Ice Sets New Record Low in 2011
photo: NASA ICE/CC BY
After several months of reporting near-record or record monthly levels of Arctic sea ice melting, German researchers now report that a new yearly record low has been set--the area covered by Arctic sea ice has declined to its lowest point since satellite measurements began in 1972.
It's also probably lower than at any time in the past 8,000 years, the researchers say.Researchers from the University of Bremen's Institute for Environmental Physics say that on September 8th Arctic sea ice covered 4.24 million square kilometers. (h/t The Wall)
One day before the German measurement was made, the US National Snow and Ice Data Center reported that the average ice extent for August was 28% below the average for 1979-2000, with sea ice coverage being below normal everywhere except the East Greenland Sea.

CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND--(Marketwired - Aug. 27, 2014) - The presidents of Canada's provincial labour federations are joining growing demands for government action to address the missing and murdered aboriginal women crisis.
"This is a national emergency and we need action from the federal and provincial governments, right away," said Manitoba Federation of Labour President Kevin Rebeck to a meeting of Canada's national labour leaders. "Canada is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and the poverty, abuse, and racism faced unfairly by aboriginal women cannot be allowed to continue."
In May, the RCMP revealed that 1,181 aboriginal women had either been killed or gone missing between 1980 and 2012. In Manitoba, the case is especially alarming where half of the province's female murder victims over the same time period were aboriginal, according to the RCMP.
"We support the call for a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women, but an inquiry should not be used as an excuse to delay taking immediate action," said Prince Edward Island Federation of Labour President Carl Pursey, who is chairing a meeting of provincial and territorial labour federation presidents being held alongside the annual Council of the Federation meeting in Charlottetown.
Canada's premiers met with First Nations organizations today. The federal government has refused repeated requests by opposition parties and provincial leaders for a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women.

Officers served the warrant at a home on the 6200 block of Walton Avenue in West Philadelphia.
Action News has learned detectives were re-interviewing a 19-year-old woman who lives at the house. That woman also happens to work at the daycare where the 5-year-old would go after school.
However, police have not named her - or anyone else - a person of interest in this case.
Police were led there by tip calls and a neighborhood walkthrough by the 5-year-old kidnapping victim, who told detectives this area of Cobbs Creek looked familiar.
The area is just a few dozen yards from the Philadelphia side of Cobbs Creek park - and a direct shot to the park bordering Upper Darby, where the child was abandoned in the freezing overnight darkness wearing only a t-shirt.
Police went into the house looking for evidence, including DNA, that the child was there.
"They did execute a warrant, but I don't know if it's going to lead us anywhere yet. It's too early to tell. We're working it, we're working it aggressively and we're not going to stop. This is a heinous crime," said Commissioner Charles Ramsey.
Other occupants of the home were interviewed by detectives, but let go on Friday morning.
The 5-year-old girl was kidnapped last month from the Bryant Elementary school at 60th and Cedar Avenue.
A woman wearing Muslim garb was seen on surveillance video taking the little girl out of her class.
The girl was found in an Upper Darby playground early the next morning and returned to her mother. The hunt for the kidnappers goes on.
An $80,000 reward has been posted by the Citizens Crime Commission for the capture of the kidnappers.
The community of local Muslims says it is putting up at least $20,000 in reward money for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

The Yekaterinburg Opera and Ballet Theatre said Thursday it will host an exhibition dedicated to the set design, sculpture, painting and children's drawings that originated in Tchaikovsky's homeland.
The exhibition is honor of the famous Russian composer's 175th birthday and includes many remarkable works of art.
Tamara G. Starzhenetskaya (1912-2002) was a theater artist who created classic set designs for all of the ballets and operas composed by Tchaikovsky. The display will feature six of her sketches for creating the scenery of the opera "Eugene Onegin" and the ballet "Sleeping Beauty." These illustrations are on loan from the Museum of History and Culture located in Votkinsk.
Alexander Krivoshein is a member of Russia's Union of Artists, created six wooden sculptures to honor the creativity and personality of Tchaikovsky. Two of Krivoshein's most famous sculptures will be at the event. One is "Evening Melody," which depicts the composer when he was 8 years old. Another is "A. Tchaikovsky," which features the composer's mother.
Elena Rufoc, another member of Russia's Union of Artists, will display portraits of Tchaikovsky. The portraits were painted in the artistic styles of the 19th and 20th centuries.
AN Sorochkin organized and planned the art that will be featured in the display called "PI Tchaikovsky – through the eyes of children." Twenty different participants created more than one thousand drawings for the exhibit.

City of Thieves by David Benioff
RUSSIA has been invaded by the Nazi armies, and Leningrad is surrounded by German troops.
Two teenagers, Lev and Kolya, are sent on an impossible quest – a dozen eggs for the wedding of a Party official's daughter.
Lev's been caught looting when he should have been on fire patrol. Kolya is a deserter.
Lev is a shy virgin, cracked about chess, and about his cello-playing neighbour. Kolya's a sex-mad boy with a talent for talking his way out of trouble.
They're sentenced to death, but the quest for the eggs is offered as an alternative.
They try in the city first. But this is a town where they're melting down the glue in library books to sell as food.
The two boys escape from cannibals, track a legendary old man who's supposed to be guarding a hen-coop on the roof of an apartment block.
Finally they escape the city – Piter, as it's nicknamed by its inhabitants – knowing of the rumours that the peasants are living fat while Leningrad starves.
They discover a Nazi brothel full of plump girls held as slaves. They fall in with partisans – the most deadly of whom is a skinny girl sniper.
Kolya talks about all the sex he's had, and adds endless literary criticism, especially of the great unknown novel The Courtyard Hound.
When he discovers that Lev's father was a poet murdered by Stalin, their friendship is sealed.
Screenwriter Benioff uses his grandfather's stories of life in wartime Russia to make a quirky and enticing novel.
From the cosy grandparents with their sinister history to the appealing Kolya and Lev, it's a book to make you laugh when you're not flinching.
Much better than his screenplays (Benioff worked on Troy and The Kite Runner), it's touching and gritty.

Paint Blisters, (Pimples) in Automotive Refinishing Job
Q. I just had my 74 Chevy Nova completely restored about a month ago. They took
it all the way to bare metal, cut out the rusted lower quarter panels, sanded,
primed, painted, clear-coated and rubbed it out.
I was thrilled with the job until this week when small "pimples"
showed up in the finish of the hood, tops of the front fenders and, to a lesser
extent, the roof of the car. The pimples are typically about 1.5 mm in diameter
and stand proud off the surface about .03 mm.
I'll take it back to the shop, of course, but I'd like to have a bit of
an idea about what might have caused this.
Thanks for your input.
A. This sounds to me to be typical of what we call "solvent entrapment".
It is possible that there was a lot of solvent in the paint during the painting
operation. If the paint skinned over too fast, then the entrapped solvent could
not get out fast enough. Hence the blisters (pimples). You pointed out that
the blisters were predominantly on the horizontal surfaces. This is an indication
that more paint was applied to the horizontal surfaces than to the vertical
surfaces (doors, etc.) If more paint was applied, then more solvent was entrapped.
This is a paint application problem and the body shop should repaint your car.
BUT, if they agree to do so please point out that they must allow sufficient
time for the solvent to evaporate before apply the next coat of paint. Also,
they should be careful to monitor the film thickness on the horizontal surfaces.
Please get back to me after the car has been repainted and let me know the
Best wishes,
Ron Joseph

November 25, 2013 18:56 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Nov. 25, 2013) - Response Biomedical Corp. ("Response" or the "Company") (TSX:RBM)(OTCBB:RPBIF) today announced that it has entered into agreements to distribute its Cardiovascular portfolio of RAMP® products with two new distributors in China, doubling Response's total number of distributors in a country that represents more than 60% of Response's worldwide sales. These new distribution agreements follow the approval of Response's RAMP® branded cardiovascular Point of Care Testing ("POCT") portfolio by the China Food and Drug Administration ("CFDA").
The new distributors, Shanghai Elite Biotech Co., Ltd. and Beijing Clear Biotech Co., Ltd., are leading distributors of innovative diagnostic technologies and laboratory products to hospitals in China. Both new distributors will market Response's cardiovascular tests on Response's RAMP® branded readers. The territory allocated between the two distributors encompasses all of China. Response's existing distributors in China will continue to market Response's cardiovascular products under their own brand labels and registrations. These new distributors, as well as Response's current two distributors, will sell to the estimated $365 million POCT market in China, a market growing at a rate of 12% per year(1).
"Owning our own product registrations in China enables us to speedily add new distributors in China without waiting the many months required for new distributors to obtain their own regulatory clearances," commented Jeff Purvin, Chief Executive Officer of Response. "In addition, we believe that our two new distributors have the experience and reputation to penetrate many more provinces in China than our current distributors, leading to increased sales growth potential."
Zheng Wang, Response's Asia Pacific General Manager, added, "Now that we own our own China regulatory clearances, Response can more decisively and effectively manage any underperforming or inefficient components of our China distribution channels, thereby enabling us to better ensure that all of our distributors are satisfactorily meeting their contractual sales commitments."

Framebuffer console settings
How do i change the framebuffer console resolution and other settings. Its currently set to 1024x768 i think.
Re: Framebuffer console settings
If you use lilo, see the 4th post down
Otherwise, I don't know.
Since you said framebuffer console, I'm assuming you're talking about settings that have nothing to do with X. You can set 'vga=ask' to give you more info about possible vga settings.
Well i am using Slackware 9.1. When my system boots up the font size is too small in console(Runlevel 3). I want to change that resolution. Yes i use LILO, but can't it be done without messing with LILO. I mean after all its the frame buffer we have to deal with!
Since it's Slackware, it's using lilo to alter those settings. So I guess the choice has kind of been made for you already.
If you want it to behave as if normal(larger text, no colors), alter your vga setting in lilo to say 'vga=normal'. And remember to run lilo after editting lilo.conf.
Something strange happen here... why the linux 2.4.23 don't have the framebuffer console support in the kernel configuration? Is it altered or else where I can enable it ? (I known where it is reside, or perhaps it is altered?)
The 2.4.23 kernel isn't stock with slack 9.1 -- So I'm assuming you compiled it yourself and left out framebuffer console support -- or vga mode selection support.
All those options are under "character devices" in the menu config.
Once you have support in your kernel, you use a kernel parameter (regardless of boot-loader) to specify what resolution and color depth the framebuffer uses.
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k
Is what I'm using on my laptop.
The slackware lilo.conf has a very nicely commented section for selection of framebuffer configuration.
Forgive me..if I was too annoying...
After searched around the menuconfig, there is no framebuffer options..what can I do ? or does the name changed ? I am lost, help me..
If you're using the 2.4 series kernels the framebuffer options are under "Console drivers". Make sure you have the "Prompt for incomplete and experimental drivers" option at the top of the config screen checked (under "Code maturity level options") to get all the options.

Pornographic and sexually explicit material abounds throughout the internet and the media. Many people are, unfortunately not aware of the harm caused by it.
Nowadays, content of a sexual nature and erotic material has mass prevalence in the media and society. With more and more sexually explicit content all around, there is an ever growing population of people who are adversely affected.
The Porn Industry and Money
The porn industry makes up for an astounding percentage of the world's generated income. Statistics according to toptenreviews.com reveal that the industry succeeds in making revenues of more than Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Apple and Netflix all combined. Stats say that "Every second, $3,075.64 is being spent on pornography" and "every second, 28,258 users are viewing pornography online." According to various reports, the net worth of the porn industry is $97.06 billion.
This is truly a staggering reflection of how the public has been influenced by sexually provocative material.
Those who view pornographic material state often that it is completely harmless. However, these individuals are often unaware of the damage they may be causing to their psyches and also the effect on their social behavior and conduct. There is a huge increase of people who are currently suffering from an addiction to pornography.
Those struggling with this addiction have been found to suffer from various symptoms of emotional and psychological problems. According to psychological studies, men who indulge in erotic material tend to have disturbing attitudes towards women. They are also often desensitized towards acts of a sexually violent nature. People convicted of violent sexual crime have often been discovered to have been avid porn users and in many cases, viewed pornographic material just before they committed a crime.
Effects of Porn or Sex Addiction
The Organization of Sexual Recovery (sexualrecovery.com) states that porn addicts often start off with soft porn and gradually move onto harder and more sado-masochistic content.
Individuals who view porn and are married often struggle with relationship issues and conflict as well as intimacy complications. Statistically, the effects of a porn addiction appear quite detrimental in terms of social demeanor and emotional well-being.
Pornography de-personalizes attitudes towards women and can provoke aggression in the viewer. One tends to start viewing women as sexually desired objects rather than spiritual or emotional beings. This can have a major negative effect on the way men relate to women socially.
There are a number of networks and organizations which stand for the prevention of pornography as well as rehabilitation programs for addicts. People struggling in this area can seek help at pornaddiction.com, sash.net or iitap.com.
Despite most of society's lack of concern pertaining to the effects of harmful sexual exposure, it is evident that sexually explicit and suggestive multimedia has a huge impact on the world's conceptions and practice of sexual relationships. Also, there appears to have become a general degradation of moral and ethical values in regards to sexual activity.
The media could be blamed for continually advocating sexual misconduct, but in respect of the fact that this is just the way society functions at present, it is the duty of this generation's parents to raise children with an acute awareness of the dangers involved in succumbing to the lures of pornography.

Perhaps the most important thing to mention when it comes to autism is that there is no biological marker for it. It can't be identified, and those who receive an autism, or ASD diagnosis are simply diagnosed with it based on behaviour and social tendencies. It's a large spectrum, with some being completely and clearly neurologically impaired, and others on the other end whom which you wouldn't be able to tell have an ASD diagnosis and everything else in between. This is always important to acknowledge that, when it comes to autism, one person on one end of the spectrum could be damaged in a specific biological way, due to environmental factors discussed in this article, and another may not be damaged at all, in any way. In fact, some of them might even be more 'enhanced,' for lack of a better term. Having received multiple labels myself as a child, I have come to learn that these labels are simply, for the most part, made up terms for big pharma to make trillions of dollars of off, it's a big problem and one that has yet to be addressed adequately. Your child is not different, they are most likely damaged, something that may be hard for many to swallow, but we can't keep ignoring all of the evidence that's continually emerging by labelling those with autism as unique, which is ignoring the real cause of what's really going on here, pure brain damage….
According to a senior researcher from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Dr. Stephanie Seneff, at the rate, we're going, "by 2025, one in two children will be autistic." (source) She's been outspoken about the consistent and strong correlation between the rising use of Monsanto's Roundup herbicide (with its active ingredient glyphosate) on crops and the rising rates of autism. Her research also reveals that the side effects of autism mimic glyphosate toxicity and deficiencies.
A few years ago, I wrote about a study coming out of the University of California, Davis, which determined that pregnant women who live in close proximity to land and farms where chemical pesticides are/were applied experienced a seventy-five percent risk of having a child with autism spectrum disorder, or some other developmental disorder. You can read more about that and access the study here.
Now, a new study has been published that implicates DDT as a possible trigger for autism. Having been an avid autism researcher for more than a decade now, it's clear to me that there are several environmental triggers that can and do lead to an autism diagnosis, and multiple pesticides, including ones we used in the past, like DDT, are clear culprits. Others include prescription drugs during fetal development, vaccines, wifi radiation and more.
DDT was a commonly used pesticide designed to combat malaria-transmitting mosquitoes, it was banned in 1972 because it was linked to multiple health ailments, and clearly very dangerous, very similar to the ones that are falling under intense scrutiny today. It was banned years decades after its use, and is still found in some soils today, as well as many waterways. It takes more than a dozen years to break down.
The results of the study were published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, and the research was was drawn from mothers who were confirmed to have DDT in their body, just as many today do when it comes to other commonly sprayed chemicals, like glyphosate, which is highly detectable in most peoples urine across North America as well as Europe.
According to the lead author, Alan Brown,
DDT is still persisting in the environment and is detectable in almost everyone I would not say women should be conerned but itis important to be informed that at least this one chemical exposure is related to increased risk."
"DDT is still persisting in the environment and is detectable in almost everyone," lead author Dr. Alan Brown told IFLScience. "I would not say women should be concerned but it is important to be informed that at least this one chemical exposure is related to increased risk."
It's crazy because this chemical was sprayed on crops worldwide for decades, and seemed to have been replaced with chemicals that are just as harmful.
"What's appalling is that we have known about these dangers for decades yet have done little about it. Nearly 20 years ago, scientists at the National Research Council called for swift action to protect young and growing bodies from pesticides. Yet today, U.S. children continue to be exposed to pesticides that are known to be harmful in places they live, learn and play."
– Pesticide Action Network North America (PANNA) (source)
It's becoming quite clear that what we call 'autism' is linked with environmental factors, and goes far beyond genetics, but our health authorities don't want to admit that. Because if environmental factors are causing autism, and it's not genetics, then we have a big problem on our hands, especially for multiple corporations basically control the government, and what science is deemed credible…
This is why we haven't seen a ban on these pesticides despite the fact that it makes absolutely no sense to use them.
A study published a few years ago in the journal PLOS Computational Biology from researchers at the University of Chicago revealed that autism and intellectual disability (ID) (autism has nothing to do with intellectual disability) rates are linked with exposure to harmful environmental factors during congenital development, critical stages of fetal development.
According to that study,
Autism appears to be strongly correlated with the rate of congentical malformations of the genitals in males acrossthe country. This gives an indicator of the environmental load and the effect is surprisingly strong…TRhe strongest predictors for autism were associated with the environment.

There Are Multiple Factors
"The change in how agriculture is produced has brought, frankly, a change in the profile of diseases. We've gone from a pretty healthy population to one with a high rate of cancer, birth defects, and illnesses seldom seen before. . . . The tobacco companies denied the link between smoking and cancer, and took decades to recognize the truth. The biotech and agrochemical corporations are the same as the tobacco industry; they lie and favor business over the health of the population." – Dr. Medardo Avila Vazquez, a pediatrician specializing in environmental health (source)(source)(source) (Related CE Article on the GMO/Cancer link in Argentina here
There are too many cancer-causing, autism causing, and brain damaging products to list that are all contributing to debilitating health effects that are on the rise exponentially. And yes, vaccines are one of many environmental factors that have contributed to this. To say vaccines aren't implicated in autism is completely unscientific, yet the mainstream makes you feel stupid for even questioning them. Take aluminum for example, we now know that aluminum from vaccines does not exit the body, but ends up travelling to distant organs and eventually ends up in the brain. The brains of deceased autistic people were also recently opened and some of the highest brain aluminum content in history was found. This is just one of many examples of how vaccines are connected to autism and other damage, which is why the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act has paid more than $4 billion. But that's another topic in itself. But it's important to mention.
It's quite clear that they're not completley safe.
Let's not forget about Dr. William Thompson……
Vaccines, like environmental pesticides, prescription drugs during fetal development, and more have all been implicated in ASD, and that is an undeniable scientific fact. You can check out the related articles below for more information.

10 Things That Happen To Your Body When You Walk Everyday
In Brief
- The Facts:
There are multiple health benefits to be gained by taking a simple walk every day. These benefits are measurable, and if you don't already have an active lifestyle it can be a great way to assist you with your health.
- Reflect On:
Reflect on how the human race has become extremely sedentary, and how disease rates continue to climb as a result of the modern human lifestyle.
The human experience has become extremely sedentary, the average human lifestyle in the western world has been linked to multiple diseases and is one of the main causes of why disease rates continue to climb, among many other factors that surround all aspects of human life, like big food, for example. With technology in place and jobs that require tremendous amounts of sitting, there is no doubt that it's having a detrimental effect on our lives.
That being said, the world is clearly becoming way more health conscious. It's like we needed this experience of unhealthy food, the corporate take-over of everything, and our motionless lifestyle to knock us out of it. We are seeing a health revolution take place, where more and more people are becoming health conscious, and are always being encouraged to be more active.
Ultimately, we can't really blame the human experience for our lack of movement, it's something that all of us have the time to incorporate into our lives in one way or another, and if you're someone who doesn't enjoy being too active, a simple walk every day can have tremendous amounts of benefits. As pointed out in the video below, by Bright Side.
If You Want To Increase The Benefits Even More, Walk Barefoot
It's called grounding, or 'earthing' and it involves placing your feet directly on the ground, without shoes or socks as a barrier. Why? Because there is an intense negative charge carried by the Earth, it's electron-rich, which serves as a good supply of antioxidants and free radical destroying electrons.
A study published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health titled "Earthing: Health Implications of Reconnecting the Human Body to the Earth's Surface Electrons" postulates that earthing could represent a potential treatment for a variety of chronic degenerative diseases.
That's right, many positive health benefits occur as a result of walking barefoot, and these are measurable.
The picture below represents improved facial circulation (right image) after 20 minutes of grounding, as documented by a Speckle Contrast Laser Imager (dark blue=lowest circulation; dark red=highest circulation). Image Source: Scientific Research Publishing

Nature Valley Ad Shows The Down Side Of Children Addicted To Technology
In Brief
- The Facts:
Technology has impacted most of our lives in a really big way. We use it daily for everything we do pretty much. Kids today, unlike previous generations, use technology more than ever and spend much less time in nature.
- Reflect On:
How much is too much technology for young and developing minds? Is it time to reevaluate our children's relationship with technology and get them back into nature?
Technology has become a staple in most of our lives, really, could you imagine life without it? In the video posted below, Nature Valley asks 3 generations what it was that they did for fun as a kid, the answers from the youngest generation may or may not surprise you, but is it time to cut back on the technology and bring kids back to nature?
Technology is not bad per se, that isn't the discussion here. This is about how we use it.
Before technology, children would look to nature for entertainment. They would play outside on the lawn, go sledding, build forts, and use their imagination to create their own entertainment. Nowadays it's all too easy for kids to get sucked into technology, there are video games, tablets, computers, cell phones and television, all of which provide a type of escape from the real world. Although, there are many ways that technology is and has been used for good in the world, is the disconnect that it is causing children and adults to part from nature causing more harm?
With the rise of mental disorders and illnesses, is it possible that the answer to these issues is simply to get kids back into nature, more time with self, using their brains to build things, be creative and connect to the energy from the Earth? We already know how effective a simple walk or hike in nature is and how they both can literally change our brains. Nature appears to be much more important than we generally give it credit for.
In my own experience, disconnecting from technology and going camping on my own proved to be a very cathartic and healing experience for me. I've come to realize that although being immersed in nature regularly does have a lot of benefits, but even just making time for it at all can cause a positive impact. For many of us who live in cities, with the constant bombardment of noise and of course EMF frequencies etc., just disconnecting for a short period can make a huge difference.
The following video is a brilliant ad from Nature Valley, check it out.
It's easy to get emotional watching something like this as it shows just how far removed the newer generations are from what has been most natural to children for centuries, simply playing in nature. The children are essentially self-proclaimed tech addicts and get their entertainment by playing video games, watching videos or tv shows, texting etc. Is it time to go back to the basics and start evaluating how detrimental too much technology can be on young and developing brains? You can read more about this issue here, Is Your Child Struggling From Nature-Deficit Disorder?
Is it up to the parents to ensure they are setting proper boundaries with the amount of time their children are allowed to use technology? Or is this the future and something we should simply let happen as a natural part of evolution?

MLB Team Report - St. Louis Cardinals - INSIDE PITCH

MLB Team Report - St. Louis Cardinals - INSIDE PITCH
Kyle Lohse's streak of quality starts was snapped at 10 Tuesday night, but his offense bailed him out in a 11-6 win over Colorado that was Lohse's 11th against two losses.
Lohse was sailing with a 6-2 lead into the bottom of the sixth when he allowed a two-out single to former Cardinals reliever Adam Ottavino, who was batting for himself. Center fielder Eric Young also singled -- both those balls barely eluded infielders -- and then rookie shortstop Josh Rutledge launched a three-run homer.
But Colorado manager Jim Tracy perhaps stayed with Ottavino an inning too long -- it was his third inning of relief -- and left fielder Matt Holliday blasted a two-run homer in the seventh to go with an earlier two-run double. Then third baseman David Freese extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a 464-foot homer to center, and Lohse was taken out of the game.
The bullpen allowed just one run over the final three innings, and the Cardinals won for the eighth time in their last 11 games as they desperately attempt to crawl into playoff contention.
"We've got to get going. We've got to start playing well," said Holliday. "If we want to have a great season and something to be proud of, we've got to get going."
The offense, which hit just .241 in July with men in scoring position, was 5 for 10 in such spots on Tuesday, including two run-scoring hits with two outs.
"Those are things we've been missing a lot of," said manager Mike Matheny. The manager said hitting coaches Mark McGwire and John Mabry had encouraged the Cardinals' hitters to try to hit the ball up the middle "and trust your hands."
"It looks like that's what the guys did today," said Matheny.
Six Cardinals had at least two hits, and first baseman Allen Craig had three to go with two walks.
MLB Team Report - St. Louis Cardinals - NOTES, QUOTES
--RHP Edward Mujica was acquired from Miami for Class AAA 3B Zack Cox, the Cardinals' top draft pick from 2010. Mujica figures to be the right-handed veteran the club needs to pitch the seventh inning out of the bullpen. Mujica features a split-fingered pitch that enables him to get both left-handed and right-handed hitters out. RHP Trevor Rosenthal, who was called up a couple of weeks ago from Class AA, will be sent to Class AAA Memphis.
--1B Lance Berkman did not play against a left-handed pitcher on Tuesday. The Colorado Rockies will throw two more left-handed starters in the series, but manager Mike Matheny said he would find time for Berkman. "We've mapped it out somewhat," Matheny said. "We need to get him going. Right-handed, he looks good."
--SS Rafael Furcal, bothered by lower back discomfort, did not start for a third straight game. He still has soreness in his lower back and hip area and said he'd rather miss "three or four games now than a whole month."
--3B David Freese continued his torrid hitting. His 464-foot homer to dead center extended his hitting streak to 11 games. He has gone 20 for 37 (.541) during the streak.
--RF Carlos Beltran has homered in two straight games. Beltran got a couple of days of rest last week and appears fresher.
--RHP Jason Motte, who hadn't pitched since Friday, got an inning of work in the ninth, but it took him 27 pitches to get through it as Colorado hitters fouled off a number of pitches. Motte allowed a meaningless run.
--RHP Kyle Lohse, who has pitched at least six innings in every start since late May (11 starts), was lifted after six. He was forced to throw a few more pitches than he wanted because of at least three defensive plays that didn't get made. "It was one of those nights where balls were falling in. It was tough," said Lohse. "We had chances to get out of some innings, but it just didn't work out." The Cardinals still are seven games off the pace of the Cincinnati Reds in the National League Central, and Lohse said, "We've got to start tightening things up and get the job done."
--RHP Mitchell Boggs knocked off his 20th straight scoreless outing. His spotless eighth inning on Tuesday ran his scoreless-innings streak to 17 1/3.
--C Yadier Molina has thrown out the last three runners who have tried to steal on him. All resulted in double plays coming after strikeouts.
BY THE NUMBERS: .085 -- INF Daniel Descalso's average (4 for 47) with men in scoring position. But Descalso at least advanced two runners into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt in the eighth inning. Both runners scored.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "Look at what we've got. I don't think it's a club where anybody was expecting wholesale changes." -- Manager Mike Matheny, on the Cardinals' general inactivity at the July 31 trade deadline.
MLB Team Report - St. Louis Cardinals - ROSTER REPORT
--SS Rafael Furcal (back discomfort) sat out a third straight start July 31. He remains day-to-day.

William Bill Gimson is the Executive Director of the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT). Mr. Gimson brings 35 years of program and administrative experience with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, from where he recently retired as the Chief Operating Officer. At the CDC he had oversight for more than 15,000 employees and an annual budget in excess of $10 billion and worked in partnership with the CDC director and executive leadership to implement a number of strategic initiatives, including re-engineering CDCs administrative and organizational structure. Gimson, among other accomplishments, developed the first ever performance measures of CDCs business indicators, executed an almost 4 million square foot capital improvement plan totaling $1.6 billion dollars, improved agency security and continuity of operations following 9/11, and assisted CDC and the Nation in preparing for an outbreak of pandemic influenza. Mr. Gimson was one of the first CDC employees to travel to Iraq in 2005, and then later in early 2007 under a USAID-funded project to provide technical assistance to the Ministry of Health in strengthening performance management for the Government of Iraq. He subsequently volunteered to serve from December 2007 through May 2008 on a U.S. Department of State Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) as the health section team lead and was assigned to Contingency Operating Base, Speicher (100 miles northeast of Baghdad). The PRT was paired with the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division (the Screaming Eagles). As the only civilian assigned to the health section, he lead a team of Civil Affairs Army Reservists working closely with the Iraqi Directorate of Health for the Province of Salah ad Din increasing access to healthcare for Iraqi citizens, forming a province-wide coalition to prevent cholera and helping cosponsor the largest conference of Iraq and U.S. health professionals to be held in the northern provinces of Iraq up to that time.As CPRITs executive director, Mr. Gimson is responsible for working with the CPRIT Oversight Committee to create and implement a strategic vision designed to enable the Institute to make its mark in the fight against cancer. He is also charged with developing and managing a new team a dream team of scientific, executive and operational staff that will develop the processes for soliciting, awarding and monitoring the performance of the very best prevention and research projects in the field. Mr. Gimson and the CPRIT team are currently focusing on an impartial review process directed by top scientists from outside of Texas to distribute taxpayer dollars; funded projects will be innovative and critically important to the field; the entire research spectrum will be supported basic, translational, clinical and prevention with the goal of fundamental discoveries that can be put into practice; ten percent of all funding will be directed at innovative and unique prevention services to help Texans; and new, superb talent will be recruited to the state.Mr. Gimson, who spent his formative years in Texas (Dallas & Houston), holds a masters degree in business administration from Duke University and a bachelors degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Bill and his wife, Susana have three children, William, Alex, and Gabrielle.

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
In Portland, the summer is a beautiful yet fleeting time. All too often, the brilliant sunny days turn to drizzle and gloom. Oregonians like to take advantage of every walking hour of sun, and during the longest days of summer, we all are usually found outside up until 9:45 or 10:00 p.m. Our neighborhood is full of children, most are outside playing until the sun goes down and we're always looking for new ways to keep them busy when they get tired of digging with sticks, chasing flying beetles, or drawing with chalk. Here are some creative ways for children and their families to play after dark:
Glow for it! Outfit kids with glow in the dark rubber bracelets to play tag or loop bracelets together to create silly creatures. Find a glow in the dark frisbee or ball for even more outdoor excitement. Oriental Trading has an immense selection of glow in the dark necklaces, bracelets, and glow sticks. You could even use glow in the dark paint and stickers to create one of a kind costumes and have a parade at dusk.
Light it up with lamps! Older children may have a good time creating luminarias (paper bags with designs cut out, illuminated by candle but for use with kids, use flame-less tea lights, LED battery operated torch). Use paper punches with fun designs or print out photos of children on paper so they can each have a turn "in lights."
Play around with puppets! Borrow an idea from Balinese shadow puppetry (called Wayang) and everyone in the family can take part in putting on a show. Hang up a white sheet against the house, and make some simple puppets with paper and brads (or just use your hands). You could even make up some songs to go along with the scenes.
Try a tent! Eat your dinner outdoors, then after a run through sprinklers instead of bathtime, set up a tent and sleep under the stars. Bring out battery powered lanterns and read stories while you snuggle up. Smaller children may not want to spend the entire night outside so be prepared to transition back to regular beds depending on their comfort level. (Or, if you don't want to brave the crows that seem to wake up at 4:00 and want to let everyone know, you can sneak everyone back in the house after they fall asleep.)
Kids may also enjoy a good old-fashioned sing-along, or a free for all, rock-and-roll jam session. Gaze at some constellations and make up stories about the stars, have an impromptu bike/trike parade or fashion show. What about a water balloon toss or make small, edible decorations to hang in the trees for birds/other small creatures?
Whatever you do, remember that children playing near the street at dusk/dark can't always be easily seen by cars and you should play safe at all times!
