I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head, while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat. I'll care when the cowardly so-called insurgents in Afghanistan , come out and fight like men, instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in Mosques and behind women and children. I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of Nirvana, care about the innocent children within range of their suicide Bombs. I'll care when the Canadian media stops pretending that their freedom of Speech on stories, is more important than the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting at home, to hear about them when something happens. In the meantime, when I hear a story about a CANADIAN soldier roughing up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care. When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don't care. Shoot him again.

[TMIC] OT - Not TM, but close cousin MS
Health News Genetic clue to MS identified Published: Dec. 8, 2011 at 5:55 PM OXFORD, England, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- A rare genetic variant which causes reduced levels of vitamin D appears to be directly linked to multiple sclerosis, British and Canadian researchers say. Oxford University researchers along with Canadian colleagues at the University of Ottawa, University of British Columbia and McGill University identified the mutated gene in parents of 35 children with MS and in each case the child had inherited the gene, the BBC reported Thursday. Although the exact cause of MS, an inflammatory disease of the brain and spinal cord, is not yet known, both genetic and environmental factors are known to be involved, medical researchers say. Just one copy of the mutated gene from either parent affects a key enzyme that leads to lower levels of vitamin D. The researchers looked for the gene variant in more than 3,000 families of unaffected parents with a child with MS, and found 35 parents who carried one copy of this variant along with one normal copy. In every one of these 35 cases, their child with MS had inherited the mutated version of the gene, they said. All 35 children inheriting the variant is like flipping a coin 35 times and getting 35 heads, entailing odds of 32 billion to one against, George Ebers, lead study author at Oxford University, said. The research strengthened the case for vitamin D being one potential contributory cause of MS. Current opinion suggests that a combination of genetic predisposition, environmental factors such as exposure to sunlight and possibly some sort of trigger, such as a viral infection, interact in some way to start the development of MS, Paul Comer of the charity MS Trust said.

I've been trying to get a hospital bed with a trapeze for transferring, as my shoulders that have been my legs for moving for the last 20 years are worn out.

[TMIC] OT: The Bed Story
My Bed was stuck on high. it was the wee hours of the morning and i couldn't get in. I spent an hour or so, looking for the manual crank, moving the piles of tools and project bags around my bed. Then the dressers and at long last, I found the crank, but weary from all the moving and rearranging, I was fading. The buttons didn't respond. For months, if I held the cord a certain way, I could get it to move up down, lift my head or legs, now, no longer. I gave up on trying the crank at the head of the bed, then i tried the foot. It's a fitted tube that goes over an inset piece... and it kept popping out. There some positioning but finally I cranked the bed down, my shoulder ached. On awakening, just to see I pushed the buttons and they worked! But that night, Sunday, returning to bed, I had to hand crank it down again as the down didn't respond, only the up did. So what to do? I was proud that it took me just one minute to find the Invoice for my bed from 5.5 years ago. I needed it because after looking on line for information I needed more than the name of my bed -- I needed a model number and serial number. There was none on the invoice-- the letters and numbers on the invoice didn't correspond to anything on the Invacare site, and I was unable to crawl under the bed to find anything. But perhaps Invacare could help anyway--- the thing that wasn't working was called the IVC pendant. It's a part and it seems on some models, it's removable. When my aide came, I had her look under the bed and we could see where the pendant entered the motor, but a couple of cautious tugs did not remove it. Invacare has a help/ answer site, that charges money -- that varies with the urgency of your need, for the answer. When i refused to pay, then a screen popped up, offering me the answer, but in a day. ( Two weeks later, I still haven't heard from them). I called the firm that got me the bed. They told me that I could get the bed replaced within five years -- of course this is 5.5 years, right on time, to not be able to get free help. A lovely person there said that she would contact her supervisor to see if they could find my patient sheet to get information on the bed model and serial number, they would have to go through paperfiles-- which they might not have any longer as this information was not in the computerized records. YEah we'ret alking back in 2006, they hadn't bothered to note the model number or serial number of the bed. I called the medical supply arm of my clinic who said they didn't know whether or not they did that kind of thing, and it took four days for me to find out if it's even the kind of repair they do i hate when i have to ask whether i can ask the question. So then I had the idea of asking those who have electric beds. I called the closest hospital who said they do it in-house and named different manufacturers than mine. Then closest nursing home who said the same thing. The next closest nursing home told me to call tomorrow to talk to maintenance -- their day was over. Over? I was talking to them at 3:30. Turns out their day ended at 3 p.m. (YIKES! poor residents, no wonder the place only had one star out of five in their ratings) I called an electrician firm from the yellow pages -- I asked if they gave free estimates. The phone answerer didn't know if they did ( their ad said they did, but my strategy for first contact is to confirm simple information) and said she would have them call me tomorrow (This was at 3 or so and they were already gone). BTW, they never called back. I write this latest sorry saga this as a kind of reminder and rebuke, for all the you need to advocate for yourself blather , to offer up my thanks for still having my mind, but my fervent wish to not have to use it or my energy in this way, my wish to walk again, so I could work on stopping the tar sands disruption, stopping the threat to our watershed that frackking poses, writing something interesting. I asked everyone local if they knew of any electricians, explaining that my bed wasn't working. Maybe they still don't understand what paralysis means and how being able to get in and out of bed without inordinate difficulty would be a nice thing, especially as I live alone. But only one friend responded within 24 hours another lesson for me in who I cannot count on. The universe heard my silent cries of anguish. When I was finally able to speak to the woman designated as the one who would know if the medical supply firm might even undertake repair she said maybe but needed the information I had been unable to find or get -- the model and serial number. She had a truck in the area she said and could be there shortly. Yes -- No -- I was stuck in bed and it would take me a least a half hour to wriggle /slide out and into my chair. When the truck arrived, I explained to the wonderful woman that it was the pendant that wasn't working

I've had the circuit breakers replaced when needed over the years. Just want to thank everyone for the nice letters sent. Now I'm off to do some laundry. Cheryl

Hi Cheryl Glad to hear you and Mitzi are surviving the storm. It seems there is always something to pull those dollars out of our pockets or checkbooks or wherever we manage them.

Re: [TMIC] OT
It's been frigid here for awhile in the Southern Finger Lakes. My wise catalpa-- the last to get leaves in the spring and the last to shed leaves was still green yesterday. Overnight, it dropped all but four of its grand, heart shaped leaves, which now pool around the trunk . The Acer Maple, also young and younger than the catalpa, dropped its bright yellow leaves last night too. For the past several weeks I've been in a flurry of designing, writing and making -- masks and patterns for them. I finished my third pattern yesterday which I'm calling the Song Bird Mask. The first is the Akua Bird Mask and the second, the Phoenix Bird Mask. I was saddened to find that I am again at the edge of viability in terms of technology. I had figured out several work-arounds to create a 728 by 90 pixel ad for the the first mask pattern. The sun still shone, at the beginning of the month when I was taking pictures, so I had some clear shots and I aimed to have the inexpensive ad run to a targeted audience for a mere $5. However the last step, translating from a pdf to a jpg, left the images slightly blurry. And no matter how high the initial resolution, after sizing them down to 90 and then going from word to pdf, pdf to jpg, the final translation blurred the pix. So this has been very depressing. When i can stay in the flow, I can ignore the constant pain, and the annoyance of not being able to move because my legs fly off the foot rests. More than once lately, I've twisted my foot or ankle, only realizing that it was to the side or behind when i couldn't roll any further. And the cold dark makes me tired, I'm up until 6,7,8 am then sleep until 2 or 3 which makes it hard to get much done because this is an area where social services close at 3. Help:my once a week aid forgot to get the cat treats. How could this be, when I give her a computer printed list, with tick boxes, item location and prices? I haven't bought the cat anything for months and it was his birthday last Tuesday and she for the 97 cent bag of treats for him. And she offered to go back and get it and I said there wasn't time. I only have her for two hours and I needed help, putting the recycling out, modeling a prototype,getting the last roll of paper towels off the high shelf where I tossed it. It would help to have help, but I can't afford it, and it would be great to get sales, but I barely have the tools -- and if I had more money, would I get help, or buy a new computer with an OS than can run some of the new free programs, or would I just buy more protein so I can fix my anemia? Yeah. BOO! Akua HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!! JANE/SPLENDORA TX --

[TMIC] OT Agency ripping me off
Hi all, I hope everyone is coping as well as possible with the summer heat. I would appreciate some advice with something that came up today. The agency I use for help at home, told me today that I owe them over $300 for an unpaid bill from _JUNE 2010!_ This was their billing department which has been very nasty to me before. I KNOW I am up to date in my payments and told her this. She said she is going to send me a reconciliation form so I can go through all my checks and payments from that period. When I got off the phone I called their local office that just deals with scheduling aides and is a lot easier to talk to. The woman I spoke to, who I have spoken with many times before, said she would speak with her manager and send an email off to the billing departnent. I could go to another agrncy, but the aide I have is an angel, and I trust her completely Another agency might send me a monster, and I've dealt with that before. Am I responsible for this billing bungle, assuming it's not just a scam to get more money out of me from OVER A YEAR AGO?? I can't take this additional stress. Thanks all, Kevin

I have been following this very closely actually; it's a good distraction from my pending divorce. I expect things to come to a cross roads somewhere in the next 2 weeks. Gold is already at an all-time high whilst the value of the almighty dollar starts to fall. The US dollar, being gold-weighted, depends heavily on the demand and supply of gold...much of which they control through reserves held since they emerged as the only superpower left. If the gold price stays anywhere between $1550 and $1575 US, a lot of interesting things can happen. First things first, we'll probably see a new superpower emerge from the east, possibly one of the so-called poorer countries that has been pushed into production because of cheaper labour costs. Also, we might see the emergence of a new superpower, probably one whose currency isn't gold-weighted; copper isn't a bad choice here.

a bad choice here. All in all, it's going to get a bit tricky to really predict
the economic climate right
now because the decision made on Capitol Hill will ultimately affect the
entire world and as such Economists are asked to forsee who shall survive.

We do follow this every day on the news. We can't imagine that is still all
politics to hold all the plans back, because not only the US is infold, the
hole world is. We here in Holland has to deal with cit backs on social
security, healthcare and higher taxes. Not that we like it, but those were
nessary. Not that we agreed to all the choises, but one way or the other, you
have to make them. You have to do something at the guild for eaach person of
more than $130.000, we here get nervous of a guild for each of $15.000. It is
no longer left or right, democrat or republican, we can't go live on as nothing
happend. When your econemy goes down, it effects the whole world. Money will
tumbling down in falluw, banks will go down and everyone sooner or later will
lost a part of his money.

Re: [TMIC] OT - this is scary
As an economist, I have been following this business very closely. What impresses me most is that a bunch of kids, most of whom have never known economic suffering personally, are ideologically driven, and refuse to have their beliefs checked against reality on any level. They just believe things should go just this way and the winds of fate will bless their deeds if they just stay the course. They don't have a clue as to what will really happen to things they set in motion. And are in this respect, just like the Bush Administration's declaring war on Iraq, when not one of them had ever themselves been in a battlefield, most having avoided military service preferring instead to take advantage of the various deferments then available. That's OK; but such are not good candidates to determine when and how we should go to war. It even turned out that Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld was auto-signing the letters of condolences sent out to grieving parents and relatives for their loved ones killed in action. And now we have the same situation in the economic ideological wars. These persons are all rich and believe that if we just take all those New Deal programs down by starving them off, then everyone will be like themselves, able by their own wits to rise to the top. Well, everyone cannot rise to the top, or it isn't a top. Were all to rise to the level of each of these congressmen in capacity and economic and financial wits, then all would receive just a very average and far lower remuneration in return. This is the nature of the fallacy from which they all suffer, and by which they are about to ruin the country. These Young Turks are part of the side that ran up all these fantastic debts in an adventurous unnecessary war, against which Brent Scowcroft and other wiser heads, including Bush's own father, strongly advised. Meanwhile, he who had actually attacked our country was allowed to escape. When is someone going to publicly call them out on this? When will someone stand up and say to their faces that these are their own debts, debts they agreed to incur, that it was they who cut taxes on the rich during a time of waran unprecedented move!--which blew up the debt, then and there, and continued to cut taxes on the richest Americans, even when some of the wealthiest publicly said they didn't need these tax cuts, that they played no part in their investment decisions. Shared sacrifice indeed! The extremes of wealth and poverty which exist today are now approaching those which existed exactly 100 years ago. What does a country do for those citizens who are not the smartest and brightest? What about those who can't work that hard, who are ill, old, young, sick, disabled or just too weak to carry it on? What about those who are not combat-ready to join in the battles of the modern information economy? What happens to them? That's my two cents.

I expect things to come to a cross roads somewhere in the next 2 weeks. Gold is already at an all-time high whilst the value of the almighty dollar starts to fall. The US dollar, being gold-weighted, depends heavily on the demand and supply of gold...much of which they control through reserves held since they emerged as the only superpower left. If the gold price stays anywhere between $1550 and $1575 US, a lot of interesting things can happen. First things first, we'll probably see a new superpower emerge from the east, possibly one of the so-called poorer countries that has been pushed into production because of cheaper labour costs. Also, we might see the emergence of a new superpower, probably one whose currency isn't gold-weighted; copper isn't a bad choice here.

Re: [TMIC] OT right on time!
I couldn't figure out how to do it -- put money in a trust (need a lawyer) and then do Medicaid buy-in but perhaps that's a possibility for you. wellit happened. my short term disability ran out Monday. then it happened again,my first disabled social security check was automatically deposited into my bank account today. I am not eligible for Medicare for 2 years so I have no insurance for my wife or myself but things have a way of working out. I will just have to keep my chin up and my faith intact.

[TMIC] OT: No green . . .
In the line at the store, the cashier told the older woman that she should bring her own grocery bag because plastic bags weren't good for the environment. The woman apologized to him and explained, We didn't have the green thing back in my day. The clerk responded, That's our problem today. The former generation did not care enough to save our environment. He was right, that generation didn't have the green thing in its day. Back then, they returned their milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled. But they didn't have the green thing back in that customer's day. In her day, they walked up stairs, because they didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. They walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time they had to go two blocks. But she was right. They didn't have the green thing in her day. Back then, they washed the baby's diapers because they didn't have the throw-away kind. They dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine - wind and solar power really did dry the clothes. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that old lady is right, they didn't have the green thing back in her day. Back then, they had one TV, or radio, in the house - not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief, not a screen the size of the state of Montana . In the kitchen, they blended and stirred by hand because they didn't have electric machines to do everything for you. When they packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, they used a wadded up old newspaper to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, they didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. They used a push mower that ran on human power. They exercised by working so they didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she's right, they didn't have the green thing back then. They drank from a fountain when they were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time they had a drink of water. They refilled their writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and they replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But they didn't have the green thing back then. Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. They had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And they didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint. But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful the old folks were just because they didn't have the green thing back then? --

[TMIC] OT - I wish for you, a Sandpiper.
* The Sandpiper * *by Robert Peterson * * She was six years old when I first met her on the beach near where I live. I drive to this beach, a distance of three or four miles, whenever the world begins to close in on me. She was building a sand castle or something and looked up, her eyes as blue as the sea. 'Hello,' she said. I answered with a nod, not really in the mood to bother with a small child. 'I'm building,' she said. 'I see that. What is it?' I asked, not really caring. 'Oh, I don't know, I just like the feel of sand.' That sounds good, I thought, and slipped off my shoes. A sandpiper glided by. 'That's a joy,' the child said. 'It's a what?' 'It's a joy. My mama says sandpipers come to bring us joy.' The bird went gliding down the beach. Good-bye joy, I muttered to myself, hello pain, and turned to walk on. I was depressed, my life seemed completely out of balance. 'What's your name?' She wouldn't give up. 'Robert,' I answered. 'I'm Robert Peterson.' 'Mine's Wendy... I'm six.' 'Hi, Wendy.' She giggled. 'You're funny,' she said. In spite of my gloom, I laughed too and walked on. Her musical giggle followed me. 'Come again, Mr. P,' she called. 'We'll have another happy day.' The next few days consisted of a group of unruly Boy Scouts, PTA meetings, and an ailing mother. The sun was shining one morning as I took my hands out of the dishwater. I need a sandpiper, I said to myself, gathering up my coat. The ever-changing balm of the seashore awaited me. The breeze was chilly but I strode along, trying to recapture the serenity I needed. 'Hello, Mr. P,' she said. 'Do you want to play?' 'What did you have in mind?' I asked, with a twinge of annoyance. 'I don't know. You say.' 'How about charades?' I asked sarcastically. The tinkling laughter burst forth again. 'I don't know what that is.' 'Then let's just walk.' Looking at her, I noticed the delicate fairness of her face. 'Where do you live?' I asked. 'Over there.' She pointed toward a row of summer cottages. Strange, I thought, in winter. 'Where do you go to school?' 'I don't go to school. Mommy says we're on vacation.' She chattered little girl talk as we strolled up the beach, but my mind was on other things. When I left for home, Wendy said it had been a happy day. Feeling surprisingly better, I smiled at her and agreed. Three weeks later, I rushed to my beach in a state of near panic. I was in no = mood to even greet Wendy. I thought I saw her mother on the porch and felt like demanding she keep her child at home. 'Look, if you don't mind,' I said crossly when Wendy caught up with me, 'I'd rather be alone today.' She seemed unusually pale and out of breath. 'Why?' she asked I turned to her and shouted, 'Because my mother died!' and thought, My God, why was I saying this to a little child? 'Oh,' she said quietly, 'then this is a bad day.' 'Yes,' I said, 'and yesterday and the day before and -- oh, go away!' 'Did it hurt?' she inquired. 'Did what hurt?' I was exasperated with her, with myself. 'When she died?' 'Of course it hurt!' I snapped, misunderstanding, wrapped up in myself. I strode off. A month or so after that, when I next went to the beach, she wasn't there. Feeling guilty, ashamed, and admitting to myself I missed her, I went up to the cottage after my walk and knocked at the door. A drawn looking young woman with honey-colored hair opened the door. 'Hello,' I said, 'I'm Robert Peterson. I missed your little girl today and wondered where she was.' 'Oh yes, Mr. Peterson, please come in. Wendy spoke of you so much. I'm afraid I allowed her to bother you. If she was a nuisance, please, accept my apologies.' 'Not at all -- she's a delightful child.' I said, suddenly realizing that I meant what I had just said. 'Wendy died last week, Mr. Peterson. She had leukemia. Maybe she didn't tell you.' Struck dumb, I groped for a chair. I had to catch my breath. 'She loved this beach, so when she asked to come, we couldn't say no. She seemed so much better here and had a lot of what she called happy days. But the last few weeks, she declined rapidly...' Her voice faltered, 'She left something for you, if only I can find it. Could you wait a moment while I look?' I nodded stupidly, my mind racing for something to say to this lovely young woman. She handed me a smeared envelope with 'MR. P' printed in bold childish letters. Inside was a drawing in bright crayon hues -- a yellow beach, a blue sea, and a brown bird. Underneath was carefully printed: A SANDPIPER TO BRING YOU JOY. Tears welled up in my eyes, and a heart that had almost forgotten to love opened wide. I took Wendy's mother in my arms. 'I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry,' I uttered over and over, and we wept together. The precious little picture is framed now and hangs in my study Six words -- one for each year of her life -- that speak to me of harmony, courage, and undemanding
