DeafBiz Sat, Nov 18 2006
This issue will not disappear. Only a matter of finding just one sympathic city that will allow Muslim taxi drivers to ban assistance dogs. And if one city allows, then it goes to follow that other cities will have to deal with this issue as well. This is now a “human rights” issue in Vancouver [...]

RidorLIVE Sat, Nov 18 2006
A little while ago, I got this cool t-shirt from BuyASL.com. At first, I thought it was cute and corny. But when I get to wear it the whole day — people will stare at you. People will ask you what it is. By no means, I’m not ASL extremist. Wearing one does not mean that [...]

Kalalau's Korner Sat, Nov 18 2006
It is my task here to provide some brief theoretical context for this blog, and believe it or not I find that in the poem that is perhaps the oldest in the English language, written well over a thousand years ago. Its opening line reads, "Widsith spoke, unlocked his word-hoard." The word-hoard is in Old English meaning the word-treasure.Widsith is a fictitious [...]

Deaf Bison Network Fri, Nov 17 2006

There are 127 views on that post from deafread.com and probably more from direct link to my site rather than deafread.com. It wasn’t David King who [...]

(249 visits) Is FSSA Hypocritical??
Deaf Tea Time Fri, Nov 17 2006
In light of a recent debate about COSC's role in FSSA and BoT, I've come to wonder about FSSA's claims to "come united for Gallaudet to all fight together." The key word being "together." But it seems it has rang untrue in recent weeks after Fernandes' termination - seemingly now that FSSA is not need of COSC's "services."Seems to me FSSA and COSC are bickering and [...]

What's that you said? Fri, Nov 17 2006
I've had my new hearing aids for a week now. I went from analog to digital (finally). The sound quality is actually quite good and I'm happy to get rid of most of the feedback that the old one had. The sound is about the same, which is a definite relief (I've had new HA that made everything sound totally different and it's a teeth-gritting adjustment). Since [...]

Berke Outspoken Fri, Nov 17 2006
But I'm not kidding. It IS indeed possible to closed caption for a church for only $60 for 30 minutes, and even I didn't know that! I didn't know that until I came across this letter from Aberdeen Captioning in the FCC online comment files. I don't know how they do it for so little, and I am posting this at the risk of making Aberdeen Captioning's phone line ring off [...]

(178 visits) Independent Investigation?
Mishka Zena Fri, Nov 17 2006
The protest’s two primary objectives since the beginning were to reopen the process and engage in no reprisals. The BOT has created another search process, and it has chosen to leave other concerns to the University. I’m curious as to how much, if any, pressure the BOT has put on disciplinary proceedings. I’d also like to [...]
