MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast.
It is by and for MSers.
Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease.
The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn.
The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge.
----
I have a quick and easy, painless and not too figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out.
You can go to my podcast "page" [ http://msbpodcast.com/ ], click on the appropriate button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions.
I really need this.
----
Feedback comes first, so...
Yo know I'm sick of the record industry getting in the way of the artists.
I stumbled upon "Advance Patrol" while reading a screed about how the RIAA and its various European equivalents had tried to advance their trial against "The Pirate Bay" by claiming that artists were getting ripped off.
And they were, by the **AAs.
"Advance Patrol" hadn't heard a word of the **AA's law suit until it was happening and "didn't want any part of this."
They want to to get their music to be heard.
It does nothing for their appearances and live shows to have the music locked up in the vaults of the record company's lawyers.
To quote the site: [ http://globalgonza.com/2009/05/31/english-press-release-advance-patrol/ ]
"We never asked to be plaintiffs in this case," Gonza from Advance Patrol explains, "they used us as scapegoats in a fight in which we don’t wish to participate. We refuse to be used in a war against our fans.
"You cannot legislate away file sharing," Gonza says. "Those who fileshares our music are also those who appreciate it the most. They are my friends, and friendship is something to be valued highly. That’s why we’re giving away El Futuro to the internet, to our friends."

Feed Me comes third, so...
I now have TWO sponsors.
I told you, way back when, getting the first one was the toughest.
Now I have two and it didn't take another three years and several thousands more dollars of spending on my part.
The links are synchronized with the messages on the m4a right now.
It you're listening on this through iTunes or through a web browser, just click on the image for the sponsor and I'll take you right to the appropriate web page.
If you're on an iPhone or an iPod touch, you should be good to go too.

The first sponsor, you should be all familiar with and maybe even have bought some t-shirts.[ http://www.artoshirt.net/servlet/the-MS-Artists/Categories ]
I'm still in love with my T-Shirts,
I'm wearing one right now.
The one by Mark Carpenter that says "Its the little things in life..." [ http://www.artoshirt.net/servlet/the-336/Little-things-by-Mark/Detail ]
Dang but it looks good.
I love black-and-white photography.
That sort of explains some of the posters and art hanging on the wall around here.
----
I received the CADDi in the mail, and, after trying it out, I feel that I can honestly recommend the CADDi by BARBCO. [ http://barbco.biz ]
The picture of the CADDi in use sort of says it all.
Its a caddy for carrying around your hot or cold drinks, without risking life, limb, or whatever you're wearing, from spilling your drink.
I'm wondering how to attach it to a wheelchair. but I don't have one so I've got nothing to experiment with.
I'd probably sling it over the handles in the back and be able to retrieve it from there.
As I told you in the last episode, I am breaking with my role of trying to carry ads or getting sponsors strictly from MS related products.
The CADDI is for non MSers but it could/should be for us too.
---- "Soy De La Calle" by: Advance Patrol" http://globalgonza.com/2009/05/31/download-el-futuro-from-the-pirate-bay/
"Thesis:"
The music this time is torn from the headlines.
Uh, what headlines?
There's no more newspapers worth mentioning and the ones that are left didn't have that on the front page.
Its another way we've got to get used to this new media, this incredibly affordable new media, this responsive, inclusive, cheap to produce and distribute new media...
This tripe is course is coming from the same oligopolies that think that they control everything and want you to more and more for less and less. (You start out with something interesting but expensive and end up with a mirror being held to your face and you're on "The Biggest Loser" because you are the biggest loser.)
Their days are coming to an end simply because we're out of money.
They won.
Its all theirs.
Now screw off and leave us alone.
---- "Mi Vida" by: Advance Patrol" http://globalgonza.com/2009/05/31/download-el-futuro-from-the-pirate-bay/
"Synthesis:"
I have noticed a lot of things in my fifty five years on this planet.
The most disturbing one I have seen is the perversion of the rule of law by every tin-pot dictator who thought that he was getting away with it and doesn't give a crap about what is left after he's gone. (I use the male personal pronoun advisedly. Only a man, or an extremely grasping woman, can be that pig-headed, short-sighted and stupid.)
I refer to the clinically paranoid Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao Ze Dong, Robert Mugabe Kim Il Sung (who was named 'Eternal President" after he died,) and his son Kim Jong Il and every other sump for the people's money and energies
Now the pathetic pattern is being repeated here, not by our elected officials but by the captains of industry and the lawyers who are in collusion with them.
The music industry, which is the least productive and the most malignant force on earth, and which has been Hell bent on stamping out every innovation in sound reproduction since the invention of the player piano, is at it again, suing people for things that aren't infractions and corralling artists against their wills or by keeping them in the dark.
But we now have a weapon which they can't dismantle because they need it even more than we do, the internet.
We are able to fly in under the radar of the oligopolists and wrestle our freedoms out from the very people who would shut us down using the technology that they themselves depend on.
---- "Eres Mia" by: Advance Patrol" http://globalgonza.com/2009/05/31/download-el-futuro-from-the-pirate-bay/
Conclusion:
I think that its about time we stopped having to pay a bunch of non musical lawyers for every piece of entertainment that reaches our ears, wether we want to hear the crap or not.
I think its about time we stopped paying for lawyers who try to make time stand still and to stop the tide from ebbing and flowing.
I'm all for the rule of law but I'm not for its abuse.
All laws should come with a sunset clause of 25 years, after which time they are either renewed or they are struck from the books and no corporation, of any kind, should be allowed own copyrights, of any kind.
Disney will survive and GM will not.
And we're ending off with one last number in Spanish by a group that's fundamentally Scandinavian.
Only in Europe could you get this kind of multi-cultural personal enterprise...
The videos at the front of this episode are definitely in Scandinavian. Advance Warning are a hip-hop band from Malmö, Sweden.)
Click on the image, go and grab the torrent and don't worry 'bout it.
Its a tool and you're doing nothing illegal, regardless of how you piss-off the RIAA, ASCAP/BMI and the alphabet soup of leeches on music out there.
And because YOU are in control, you ARE in control and you don't even have to do it.

The music this time is all coming to you from Siberia courtesy of "Ozone's Layer" which happens to be the English for the band's name: "Ozonovly Sloy."
Its 1:59 in the morning.
I've got insomnia, (or maybe I am getting back to my old "four hours a night" sleeping habits,) and right now I'm listening to podcasts of neuropod. [ http://www.nature.com/neurosci/neuropod/index.html ]
I'm a bit obsessive. (My wife just said: "A bit? A BIT? You're a freakin' lunatic! Turn off the light, come to bed and get off the freakin' computer!" Yes dear... I'll just finish this paragraph, put my headphones on, and I'll just close the door shall I?[A nice way of saying: "I'm not"])
You can get NeuroPod from the iTunes Music Store by clicking on the image right now and I'll take you right to it.. [ http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=293009177 ]
I find myself fascinated by the brain and its functions.
Specifically these days I'm fascinated by the role of glial cells (More on this later in the podcast.)
I also listen to the Neurology® podcast from the American Academy of Neurology but that one is a bit tougher.

---- "FROM THE NORTH TO THE SOUTH" by: "ozonoviy sloy" http://www.ozonoviy-sloy.narod.ru/
"Thesis:"
The music is the Russian again, just because. I play a lot of it because I like listening to it.
I'm going to tell you about things that live in our heads other than the neurons.
In fact they seem to be the same as the traces in electronic circuits.
Everybody's caught up in the number of transistors and resistors and capacitors as indicative of the power of computers, but if its wasn't for the lowly traces between the so called active components in the circuits, you'd have nothing but a pile of dirty sand instead of a working computer.
Here now are the seven types of less sexy non-neuronal glial cells that make up more of our human brains than do the neurons.
My source for this episode is primarily Wikipedia and its references. (And Google of course. [As we often say 'round the house here: "Google knows all" {Its just that its a total dick about only being a purely "reactive" source of information.}}])
---- "BRUSH-GIRLIE/SADO-MASOCHISM GIRL/" by: "ozonoviy sloy" http://www.ozonoviy-sloy.narod.ru/
"Synthesis:"
In this episode, I am making up for my own ignorance of the inside of my own head.
As it turn out, the inside of my head is made up of a lot more interesting stuff than just undifferentiated gray goo.
Then again, the universe is made up of a lot more than just the the stars we see in the night sky.
I'm going to go from the largest cells by sheer mass to the smallest ones, out on the periphery.
First are cells that grow the fatty sheath called myelin. Those are called Oligodendrocytes and they make up about 75% of the mass.
Then come cell that anchor to their blood supply, regulate the chemical environment in the brain, build the "blood-brain" barrier, have their own chemical transmission system using calcium and IP3 (Inositol trisphosphate)Those cells are called Astrocytes and they make up about 17% of the mass.
Then come MIcroglia which make up about 6.5% of the mass that's between our ears, being broken down into:
• Ependymal cells which secrete cerebrospinal fluid,
• Radial glia which serve as a scaffold on new neurons migrate,
• Schwann cells which are another kind of cell which are responsible for generating myelin
• Sattelite cells which surround neurons in sensory, sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia.
• Enteric glial cells (which are found in our digestive system.)
Actual neuronal cells make up about 10% of the gray goo that's between my ears (and elsewhere as it turns out. [Who knew that my stomach contains its own brain.])
---- "COLD WAR" by: "ozonoviy sloy" http://www.ozonoviy-sloy.narod.ru/
"Conclusion:"
Our brains are absolutely fascinating organs and the complexity of the neuronal circuitry, and the effects that arise from the complexity of the interconnection of all of the cells are extremely interesting since it results in the emergence of... us.
I take very great exception to the view of he dendrites and axons are the be-all and end-all of neuroscience.
The various sources I have examined over the years divide the brain into neurons and glial cells and hold that glial cells are nothing but the servants of the neurons.
Bullshit..
I want to clarify that MS is NOT a disease of of the brain.
Its a disease of the immune system which attacks the myelin sheath (which we just saw is produced by two glial cells, the oligodendrocytes and the Schwann cells.)

intro
Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer!
MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast.
It is by and for MSers.
Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease.
The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn.
The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge.
----
I have a quick and easy, painless and not too figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out.
You can go to my podcast "page" [ http://msbpodcast.com/ ], click on the appropriate button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions.
I really need this.
----
Feedback comes first, so...
The music this time is all coming to you from Siberia courtesy of "Ozone's Layer" which happens to be the English for the band's name: "Ozonovly Sloy."
Its 1:59 in the morning.
I've got insomnia, (or maybe I am getting back to my old "four hours a night" sleeping habits,) and right now I'm listening to podcasts of neuropod. [ http://www.nature.com/neurosci/neuropod/index.html ]
I'm a bit obsessive. (My wife just said: "A bit? A BIT? You're a freakin' lunatic! Turn off the light, come to bed and get off the freakin' computer!" Yes dear... I'll just finish this paragraph, put my headphones on, and I'll just close the door shall I?[A nice way of saying: "I'm not"])
You can get NeuroPod from the iTunes Music Store by clicking on the image right now and I'll take you right to it.. [ http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=293009177 ]
I find myself fascinated by the brain and its functions.
Specifically these days I'm fascinated by the role of glial cells (More on this later in the podcast.)
I also listen to the Neurology® podcast from the American Academy of Neurology but that one is a bit tougher.
---- "ZVONI... /Call Me.../" by: "ozonoviy sloy" http://www.ozonoviy-sloy.narod.ru/
Feed Forward comes next, so...
This is "your" segment.
Say "your" piece on this segment.
Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share.
Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com"
---- "RUSSIAN MORNING AFTER PARTY" by: "ozonoviy sloy" http://www.ozonoviy-sloy.narod.ru/
Feed Me comes third, so...
I now have TWO sponsors.
I told you, way back when, getting the first one was the toughest.
Now I have two and it didn't take another three years and several thousands more dollars of spending on my part.
The links are synchronized with the messages on the m4a right now.
It you're listening on this through iTunes or through a web browser, just click on the image for the sponsor and I'll take you right to the appropriate web page.
If you're on an iPhone or an iPod touch, you should be good to go too.
----
The first sponsor, you should be all familiar with and maybe even have bought some t-shirts.[ http://www.artoshirt.net/servlet/the-MS-Artists/Categories ]
I'm still in love with my T-Shirts,
I'm wearing one right now.
The one by Mark Carpenter that says "Its the little things in life..." [ http://www.artoshirt.net/servlet/the-336/Little-things-by-Mark/Detail ]
Dang but it looks good.
I love black-and-white photography.
That sort of explains some of the posters and art hanging on the wall around here.
----
I received the CADDi in the mail, and, after trying it out, I feel that I can honestly recommend the CADDi by BARBCO. [ http://barbco.biz ]
The picture of the CADDi in use sort of says it all.
Its a caddy for carrying around your hot or cold drinks, without risking life, limb, or whatever you're wearing, from spilling your drink.
I'm wondering how to attach it to a wheelchair. but I don't have one so I've got nothing to experiment with.
I'd probably sling it over the handles in the back and be able to retrieve it from there.
As I told you in the last episode, I am breaking with my role of trying to carry ads or getting sponsors strictly from MS related products.
The CADDI is for non MSers but it could/should be for us too.
---- "FROM THE NORTH TO THE SOUTH" by: "ozonoviy sloy" http://www.ozonoviy-sloy.narod.ru/
"Thesis:"
The music is the Russian again, just because. I play a lot of it because I like listening to it.
I'm going to tell you about things that live in our heads other than the neurons.
In fact they seem to be the same as the traces in electronic circuits.
Everybody's caught up in the number of transistors and resistors and capacitors as indicative of the power of computers, but if its wasn't for the lowly traces between the so called active components in the circuits, you'd have nothing but a pile of dirty sand instead of a working computer.
Here now are the seven types of less sexy non-neuronal glial cells that make up more of our human brains than do the neurons.
My source for this episode is primarily Wikipedia and its references. (And Google of course. [As we often say 'round the house here: "Google knows all" {Its just that its a total dick about only being a purely "reactive" source of information.}}])
---- "BRUSH-GIRLIE/SADO-MASOCHISM GIRL/" by: "ozonoviy sloy" http://www.ozonoviy-sloy.narod.ru/
"Synthesis:"
In this episode, I am making up for my own ignorance of the inside of my own head.
As it turn out, the inside of my head is made up of a lot more interesting stuff than just undifferentiated gray goo.
Then again, the universe is made up of a lot more than just the the stars we see in the night sky.
I'm going to go from the largest cells by sheer mass to the smallest ones, out on the periphery.
First are cells that grow the fatty sheath called myelin. Those are called Oligodendrocytes and they make up about 75% of the mass.
Then come cell that anchor to their blood supply, regulate the chemical environment in the brain, build the "blood-brain" barrier, have their own chemical transmission system using calcium and IP3 (Inositol trisphosphate)Those cells are called Astrocytes and they make up about 17% of the mass.
Then come MIcroglia which make up about 6.5% of the mass that's between our ears, being broken down into:
• Ependymal cells which secrete cerebrospinal fluid,
• Radial glia which serve as a scaffold on new neurons migrate,
• Schwann cells which are another kind of cell which are responsible for generating myelin
• Sattelite cells which surround neurons in sensory, sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia.
• Enteric glial cells (which are found in our digestive system.)
Actual neuronal cells make up about 10% of the gray goo that's between my ears (and elsewhere as it turns out. [Who knew that my stomach contains its own brain.])
---- "COLD WAR" by: "ozonoviy sloy" http://www.ozonoviy-sloy.narod.ru/
"Conclusion:"
Our brains are absolutely fascinating organs and the complexity of the neuronal circuitry, and the effects that arise from the complexity of the interconnection of all of the cells are extremely interesting since it results in the emergence of... us.
I take very great exception to the view of he dendrites and axons are the be-all and end-all of neuroscience.
The various sources I have examined over the years divide the brain into neurons and glial cells and hold that glial cells are nothing but the servants of the neurons.
Bullshit..
I want to clarify that MS is NOT a disease of of the brain.
Its a disease of the immune system which attacks the myelin sheath (which we just saw is produced by two glial cells, the oligodendrocytes and the Schwann cells.)

Of course this starts with Alfred Hittchcock and ends in "The Twilight Zone" but that's because I've had an extremely wyrd weekend.
The kind of weekend that serve as the foundation for books, of applied psychology.
But to keep my sense of humor I'm listening to the podcast of "A Prarie Home Companion's News from Lake Wobegon"
Podcasts have really gone in different directions since I got into them in February of 2006.
I'm NOT complaining.
All these heavy hitters are just legitimizing what I knew in my gut years ago.

Feedback comes first, so...
Today is the first World MS Day.
I discovered that in an email in my inbox today.
What the hell kind of event promotion is this?
By the time "anybody" could find out, the day's over...
I know for next year but ... jeesh.

Its a caddy for carrying around your hot or cold drinks, without risking life, limb, or whatever you're wearing, from spilling your drink.
I'm wondering how to attach it to a wheelchair. but I don't have one so I've got nothing to experiment with.
I'd probably sling it over the handles in the back and be able to retrieve it from there.

"Thesis:"
I love finding out about things on the very day that they're happening.
What is this?
Planing to fail by failing to plan?
The FIRST thing you learn about promoting an event is to get the word out in time for people to react.
This was the equivalent to getting a reprieve from the governor half a day after the feakin' lever's been pulled.
And twenty seconds on the news after the event has happened earlier that day is definitely NOT it.
For event promotion, the news is,not the right name for it, its the "olds"
That, at best, is PR and that serves to build a brand, not to advertise an event.

I am going to read you a tweet from someone who thought it referred to something else:
"thought that http://www.worldmsday.org was an anti-microsoft day, after looking at some tweets. Need a rest :/"
Microsoft. MS. Get it?
That's some truly execrable promotion.
That tells me that this World MS Day promotion was probably thought of by somebody who doesn't know squat about marketing and certainly doesn't know diddly about how to host a event promotion.
Actually it was probably thought up by some intern who's working the "Charity Desk" at some advertising firm.
They only ever checked if the kid was screwing up, but they never checked if the kid was doing what was required and necessary.

I know its expensive, like $135, but a professional should know what's in it.
Promotion is the "coordination" of all 'seller-initiated' efforts to set up channels of information and persuasion to sell goods and services or to promote an idea.

Go and read her blog entry. You'll see what a half-hearted, half-assed effort this was.
Basically, it says, in French, with lots of English translation later on in the blog entry for the intellectually challenged, that promoting these events takes TIME and EFFORT.
What you get from this absolutely "half-past-too-late" effort is an expensive waste of your charity donations.
There are lots of ways for promoting your global efforts, and they did employ some of them, after a fashion and way too late.

Its MS people.
Do a friggin' google search for "Multiple Sclerosis Blog" and get in touch with the people about a campaign you want to run.
Don't wait until the day of the friggin' event and expect people to suddenly rise magically up to help you, like Aristotle who thought that bugs arose spontaneously from mud.
It doesn't work that way people. This is real life.
I've already been smacked in the friggin' face by a heavy shovel called MS.

I rate the effort as worse than amateurish, worse than dilettante-ish, worse that ignorant and uninformed.
I rate it as a waste of good money and there ain't none us got money to waste.

MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast.
It is by and for MSers.
Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease.
The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn.
The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge.

I really need this.

By the time "anybody" could find out, the day's over...

Its about the Hubble Deep Field Camera.
Talk about taking the long view.
I could have run with another which was about taking the odds of something bad happening, and odds are if you're listening to this you'd already beaten the odds and know full well crap happens and know it happened to you.
Its about theory of risk assessment that was never applied under the last administration.
We all know what that led to:
• global economic melt down,
• rancor at undeserved bonuses that equal the combined GPD of several small backward nations, like Belgium, Luxembourg, Monaco, Andorra, and the like,
• a deep recession that seems to be depression, I lost my job and that's enough to depress anybody, and punctuated by perfidy, (or do you like being screwed by Bernie Madoff and sociopaths of that ilk?)
• global terrorism from a small band of suicidal/homicidal psychopaths, one of which is still occasionally taking up broadcasting space and time, and some angry shit from "Al Queda" too.

---- "I Never Thought it Could Happen" by: "nathan timothy" http://www.nathan-online.com/
"Thesis:"
This episode starts with a question: "What's Happening?"
I think we all could/should/would ask he question far more assertively, given how slowly things really happen.
The pace is part of the problem, of course.
Once an episode or exacerbation is past, the human instinct is to blot the surreality of the temporary sensation, or the loss of sensation that was brought to our attention, or loss of control, tremor or spasticity.
---- "Things Happen Fast" by: "Fuzzy Logic" http://www.myspace.com/fuzzylogic44
"Synthesis:"
Human memory is very selective, or let me restate that another way, human recall of memory is very selective.
We may be able to recall the smooth complexion and freckled face of the red haired young doctor-to-be who admitted us to the hospital all those years ago, but we don't let the thought intrude upon every waking moment of our lives after that incident.
And the previous sentence is plural because I'm sure she admitted lots people during the same period. Each of us will carry his or her own memories of the event.
There are a great many ways that MS can express itself; as many ways as there are nerves for the disease to attack.
The problems come from the confusion that arises with attempting to cure the reported symptom, say in Montel Williams case "My feet are burning", which any physician worth his salt would treat with anti-fungal remedies, which would be entirely useless since the actual problem may be a patch of myelin scraped off the nerve anywhere along the path from the feet to the brain.
That is one of the problems with MS.
Its a disease that affects people in way that challenge the thinking capacity of most medical personnel.
Its a topological disease, affecting the transmission of signals throughout the central nervous system and the brain, when we are forced to report our symptoms topographically, on the surface of things.
Just to make things, we can't even describe the triggers to the causes of the effect we can actually report on to the doctors who ask us "Where does it hurt?"
In my case, it doesn't even hurt (thank heavens.)
---- "It Can Happen To You" by: "Creamy.dk" http://www.myspace.com/creamydk1
"Conclusion:"
It started with a moment of "What's Happening?" for me in Mr Miller's history class, lord, so many years ago... I wasn't even sixteen.
As I just got back from shuffling to the store to get us things to celebrate Memorial Day with, I heave an inner sigh at memories of how fast and effortlessly I used to dance around life.
If I could take a single lesson back to my younger self, it would be it would be to relax.(Stress causes a weakening of the immune system to disease, but it them comes back with a friggin' vengeance, and that sucks.
And to eat more duck.
I hate ducks.
Specially since I love the taste.
All, and I do mean ALL, flue viruses are bred in the gut of Chinese ducks and my MS triggers seem to revolve around strains of flue.

• rancor at undeserved bonuses that equal the combined GPD of several small backward nations, like Belgium, Luxembourg, Monaco, Andorra, and the like,
• a deep recession that seems to be depression, I lost my job and that's enough to depress anybody, and punctuated by perfidy, (or do you like being screwed by Bernie Madoff and sociopaths of that ilk?)
• global terrorism from a small band of suicidal/homicidal psychopaths, one of which is still occasionally taking up broadcasting space and time, and some angry shit from "Al Queda" too.

Feed Me comes third, so...
I now have TWO sponsors.
I told you, way back when, getting the first one was the toughest.
Now I have two and it didn't take another three years and several thousands more dollars of spending on my part.
The links are synchronized with the messages on the m4a right now.
It you're listening on this through iTunes or through a web browser, just click on the image for the sponsor and I'll take you right to the appropriate web page.
If you're on an iPhone or an iPod touch, you should be good to go too.
The first sponsor, you should be all familiar with and maybe even have bought some t-shirts.[ http://www.artoshirt.net/servlet/the-MS-Artists/Categories ]
I'm still in love with my T-Shirts,
I'm wearing one right now.
The one by Mark Carpenter that says "Its the little things in life..." [ http://www.artoshirt.net/servlet/the-336/Little-things-by-Mark/Detail ]
Dang but it looks good.
I love black-and-white photography.
That sort of explains some of the posters and art hanging on the wall around here.
----
I received the CADDi in the mail, and, after trying it out, I feel that I can honestly recommend the CADDi by BARBCO. [ http://barbco.biz ]
The picture of the CADDi in use sort of says it all.
Its a caddy for carrying around your hot or cold drinks, without risking life, limb, or whatever you're wearing, from spilling your drink.
I'm wondering how to attach it to a wheelchair. but I don't have one so I've got nothing to experiment with.
I'd probably sling it over the handles in the back and be able to retrieve it from there.
As I told you in the last episode, I am breaking my role of trying to carry ads or getting sponsors strictly from MS related products.
The CADDI is for non MSers but it could be for us too.
---- "I Never Thought it Could Happen" by: "nathan timothy" http://www.nathan-online.com/
"Thesis:"
This episode starts with a question: "What's Happening?"
I think we all could/should/would ask he question far more assertively, given how slowly things really happen.
The pace is part of the problem, of course.
Once an episode or exacerbation is past, the human instinct is to blot the surreality of the temporary sensation, or the loss of sensation that was brought to our attention, or loss of control, tremor or spasticity.
---- "Things Happen Fast" by: "Fuzzy Logic" http://www.myspace.com/fuzzylogic44
"Synthesis:"
Human memory is very selective, or let me restate that another way, human recall of memory is very selective.
We may be able to recall the smooth complexion and freckled face of the red haired young doctor-to-be who admitted us to the hospital all those years ago, but we don't let the thought intrude upon every waking moment of our lives after that incident.
And the previous sentence is plural because I'm sure she admitted lots people during the same period. Each of us will carry his or her own memories of the event.
There are a great many ways that MS can express itself; as many ways as there are nerves for the disease to attack.
The problems come from the confusion that arises with attempting to cure the reported symptom, say in Montel Williams case "My feet are burning", which any physician worth his salt would treat with anti-fungal remedies, which would be entirely useless since the actual problem may be a patch of myelin scraped off the nerve anywhere along the path from the feet to the brain.
That is one of the problems with MS.
Its a disease that affects people in way that challenge the thinking capacity of most medical personnel.
Its a topological disease, affecting the transmission of signals throughout the central nervous system and the brain, when we are forced to report our symptoms topographically, on the surface of things.
Just to make things, we can't even describe the triggers to the causes of the effect we can actually report on to the doctors who ask us "Where does it hurt?"
In my case, it doesn't even hurt (thank heavens.)
---- "It Can Happen To You" by: "Creamy.dk" http://www.myspace.com/creamydk1
"Conclusion:"
It started with a moment of "What's Happening?" for me in Mr Miller's history class, lord, so many years ago... I wasn't even sixteen.
As I just got back from shuffling to the store to get us things to celebrate Memorial Day with, I heave an inner sigh at memories of how fast and effortlessly I used to dance around life.
If I could take a single lesson back to my younger self, it would be it would be to relax.(Stress causes a weakening of the immune system to disease, but it them comes back with a friggin' vengeance, and that sucks.
And to eat more duck.
I hate ducks.
Specially since I love the taste.
All, and I do mean ALL, flue viruses are bred in the gut of Chinese ducks and my MS triggers seem to revolve around strains of flue.

YouTube Road Rage by Catatonia

Road Rage
..
intro
Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer!
MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast.
It is by and for MSers.
Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease.
The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn.
The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge.
----
I have a quick and easy, painless and not too figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out.
You can go to my podcast "page" [ http://msbpodcast.com/ ], click on the button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions.
I really need this.
----
Feedback comes first, so...
I'm recording this in a studio on a day that is approaching 85°F. (30°C.)
Man, that's just too hot for me. I'm cowering here, next to the air conditioner and hugging it.
---- "Cowards All The Rage" by: "Ann Lynn" http://www.annlynnmusic.com/
Feed Forward comes next, so...
This is "your" segment.
Say "your" piece on this segment.
Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share.

---- "Red Red Rage" by: "the Radio Knives" http://www.myspace.com/theradioknives
Feed Me comes third, so...
The other day, I was tweeting my sponsor, (I LOVE saying that word, sponsor,) [ http://twitter.com/Art2Shirt ] (the link is on the m4a right now, it you're listening on this through iTunes or through a web browser, just click on the image for the show and I'll take you right to his twitter page.)
I'm still in love with my t-shirts, I'm wearing one right now. The one of them says I'm "guitarded." I bought two of those so the other one went in the wash. It looks like its holding up well to the detergents.
Its beige and soft and I'm just loving it.
I'll be able to confirm this in a few days but I may have another sponsor. I think so... Just watching the post.
The CADDi by BARBCO. [ http://barbco.biz ]
The picture of the CADDi in use sort of says it all. Its a caddy for carrying around your hot or cold drinks without risking life, limb, or whatever you're wearing from a spill,
This is just a good idea.
So good in fact that I am breaking my role of trying to carry ads or getting sponsors strictly from MS related products.
But, as a concession, I have got Barbara to look at her purchase page and she is offering a percentage of the unit price to go to a variety of charities, the MS Society being among those.
---- "Heathen Rage" by: "Corey Harris" http://telarc.com/
"Thesis:"
I was supposed to take a course on digital recording, which would have been an easy three credits for me right, since I have lots and lots of practice, right?
Right?
Wrong!
Only the truly ignorant think they have nothing to learn.
I was looking forward to the course, but it didn't reach the desired number of stoonts, so I have plenty of time off to worry about the economy, the fact that i can't find a job and, I need distractions to take my mind off of my troubles.
A job would be a great way to do that.
---- "Sheeps rage" by: "JeSo" http://www.jeso.nl/
"Synthesis:"
I can't over estimate the importance of work,
it doesn't ever have to be as lofty as meaningful or fulfilling work.
It just needs to be something that we can do to feel useful in the larger scheme of things.
We disabled people need to work just as much as the next person. Possibly more considering the extra costs of medicines, therapies and treatments.
But we're shut out by the larger community who see somebody just taking up space so they give them work that is beneath them, that anybody could do, and that garners resentment by the person who's stuck with the task.
Meanwhile the job will get done poorly by somebody who's sure ha could do better and the handicapped can just go suck eggs. (Or suck air more likely because air is free, its the breathing masks to filter out the pollution that cost money.)
I'd like to lay the blame for this squarely at the manager's feet because they are in the position where they could do the most good but instead opt for what is the most expedient.
They sincerely don't give a second thought to either the disabled who they can get, at some tax saving to their employers, because they know that they can underuse somebody else and abuse them later.
---- "Rhodes Rage" by: "Kerry Politzer" http://www.kerrypolitzer.com/
"Conclusion:"
Ever get the feeling that I don't think much of the people who, after all, were my peers?
Privilege and responsibility don't enter into consideration. when reaching a hiring decision but expediency does.
This is not a meritocracy. Nobody gets what they deserve.
Your boss was not selected or hired because was the most competent; he was merely the most expedient.
And now we end off with something that sounds more like what we think we'll hear when the word rage is in a song's title.
