I hardly expect many will read this, but I don't write for those many anyhow. I'll be writing this for the few that, though their heads are filled with questions, their politeness combined with brain numbing socially moderated niceties doesn't allow them to inquire without fear of offense. I don't normally openly speak of my condition unless asked, and it isn't because it makes me uncomfortable; it simply isn't what most consider pleasant conversation. However, I have recently noticed a chance of benefits from delving into the more private, grungy, and hilarious aspects of my own life and allowing others to read what can't be seen of the life of a cripple. The benefits involve a few of my friends and what I may do to help them understand what they already choose to deal with, and ideally some learning about myself on my part.
Thankfully, this won't be completely about me (though this first issue may mostly be, as an intro), but more importantly, the impact of cripples on other people, and obviously the contrary. Unfortunately though, I will have to base damn near everything on my experiences and psychological ramblings with others and myself. A wide array of topics will be addressed, but if you'd like to know something specific, please do feel free to ask.
I s'pose one of the reasons I decided to do this is because very little can be learned by watching a cripple. You won't see him playing the sports he likes or dancing to the music that moves him; little moves him. Likely, you'll rarely see them out and mingling; when you do, you will find it difficult to read them and their eerie lack of body language. “Should I slow down my speech?” “Should I ask the guy standing near him his name?” “Should I give him my (or my kid's?!) stuffed animal?” These are some of the questions that run through the head's of random strangers that encounter cripples; I know this because some of those people answer “Yes, he's probably retarded!” to one or more of those things bouncing around in their heads that they consider “reasonable questions.” I'll clarify now that, due to me only writing as a hobby, my disposition may sometimes be easily misinterpreted as bitter; this is not at all the case, but it won't stop me from occasionally making fun of certain people as I'll be doing the same of myself plenty. Already, I feel I should address what type of cripple I am and what distinguishes my perspective, and thus yours by what you read here, from other types of cripples in the situations to be discussed. Being only one type of cripple, I can only remove so much bias caused by my personal perceptions, but being at least slightly above average intelligence, fairly observant, and having a lot of time to ponder, I believe I'll be able to word together a relatively accurate representation. I don't find it pretentious admitting my qualities being forced to display my obvious shortcomings.
Firstly, I am of the type of cripple with a properly functioning penis; if I do justice to this idea, you'll learn that this is one of the more comical parts of my life. I am not the type of cripple that has ever walked, and neither am I the type of cripple that suffers from any form of paralysis. I am not of the type that has any more upper body strength than lower, and you'll never see me lift more than a few ounces, nor buy. I only gesture with my eyes and nods unless I'm smoking a cigarette, in which case I may confuse you with a halfassed hand gesture. I'll try to anticipate when I cause questions to arise; the cigarette thing, I know. I am the type of cripple that occupies different “modes” for different situations. These “modes” were created by myself and named by my friends, and they refer to differing positions of my body and extremities, mostly my arms. The basic modes are driving (default), eating (as in feeding myself, and not someone putting food in my mouth (that's one of those things that many of those close to me realize is sometimes the more convenient and logical course of action (get used to parenthesis , and smoking. Without help, I can't go directly from driving to eating, but I can go from eating to smoking as they're pretty much the same position, allowing me to reach my mouth. If I'm eating or smoking, I am stationary.
I am stationary. I'll end this first issue here as it's a nice summation of the life of many a cripple. I do get around and do things, but as we all live due to the whims of murderers, I move also.

Eco Factor: Artificial plant generates hydrogen and releases oxygen.
Energy is hard to come by, and the way our 21st century lifestyles have emerged, the scarce reserves of fuel are bound to go extinct in a few decades. Scientists and researches are battling hard to find new ways to sustain our modern lifestyle with fuel sources that are high in efficiency and low on pollution. While hydrogen fuel cells show a promising future, generating and transporting hydrogen proves no less than a nightmare for the environment. A team of four product designers - Cao Tauei, One Ruina, Chonran Li and Li Tsobin, have come up with a solution they call “E-Growing.

Crude falls below a barrel on economic jitters, OPEC update. Welcome to the new world of Lazy Kyocera faceplates, online all the time. A patient assessment must be carried out to establish if there are any adverse signs that require prompt intervention to prevent further deterioration.
Patients should also be assessed for obstructive airway disease that could increase the risk of bronchospasm with infusion of dipyridamole or adenosine. McCain Reboots, Takes His Fight to New Level. Other limitations include the inability to adjust for treatment duration and accounting for patients who discontinue the trial early, apparent double counting of trials and combining placebo and active comparator drugs in the control group. The majority of screenings take place at child care centers because of the high number of kids under age, Burmeister said. If you truely are a field medic, you know very well how important the ALS engine service is to this community.
