From jasongoldfield at bellsouth.net Tue May 1 08:39:27 2012 From: jasongoldfield at bellsouth.net (jason goldfield) Date: Tue, 1 May 2012 08:39:27 -0400 Subject: [fcb-l] Sad News References: Message-ID: <004d01cd2797$72786450$4501a8c0@Goldfield> This is very sad news indeed. I remember that Lee was one of the first people that I met when I came in to fcb. I knew him as a real people person. Whenever I saw him I always asked him if he was behaving himself. He always had a witty and quick comment to come back with. God bless you Lee! ----- Original Message ----- From: Florida Council To: fcb-l at acb.org Sent: Monday, April 30, 2012 2:44 PM Subject: [fcb-l] Sad News Hello FCB, It is with great sadness I tell you that I just learned this morning that Lee Stallworth passed away last week. I spoke with his daughter and as soon as all the arrangements are made she will let me know about the service and where to send flowers or donations if that is what they decide. Lee was a good kind hearted man who will be missed in FCB greatly! I will never forget Lee as he would come into the room and pick a chair and help carry out the business of FCB. Rest in peace, Lee.

The Disabled Outdoors Association here in Tallahassee sponsors a fishing trip every year and I have gone for the past two years with the same captain and his assistant. What a blast! When I was growing up I used to go fishing with my Daddy, Mother, and brother over at Boca Grand and Little Gasparilla Island. So many fond memories. My hat is off to you! What a tremendous blessing for you! I hope there are many more to come!

Howdy folks!! Be aware, I am using a whole bunch of Exclamation points in this writing!! But not the bad ones that I sometimes use, just the ones with an exceptionally good manor to them!! I think they are actually smiling This morning! Well the Fishing Tourney has finally been put to bed! With a rather curiously joyful smile! Early Saturday morning, all blind anglers were picked up by our much appreciated sighted members of the SWFCB and taken out to Pine Island!! A feat in itself, as not only does Para Transit not run that early, but they don't even come close to coming out to that Island! Everyone got out on the water on time, 8:00 am! Except yours truly. You know, Problems came up and people really helped me address them. So I got out a little late, but out I went! None the less! Old Pine Island Marina manager, Paul Smith, had to scramble to find a boat to take out the media that showed up and wanted to come out with us for pictures and to put it on video! We did manage to get on the local newspaper, the Ft. Myers Newspress. Plus, FOX 4 had us on the 11:00 pm news on TV! The weather was calling for afternoon scattered showers. But it was absolutely perfect while all boats were out fishing! An absolutely beautiful day on the water in Southwest Florida! The sun was out and shining bright! A slight breeze was very comforting! The waters were just slightly rocking the boats , a line from Crosby, Stills and Nash comes to mind..... "Nicely making waves!" The smell of the inshore waters around here is beautiful! It is something wonderful. It's magical! I really wish I could describe it to you properly. I can not though. You will have to find out for yourself! Well all boats made it back to the Marina by the 1:00 pm deadline. Once again sans yours truly! Sorry, I pulled Presidential Privilege! I had to leave last one out! So I'm gonna be last one in! Everyone had the biggest smiles on their faces and some even had some nice Redfish and Sea Trout too! The fish caught by each team's Blind Angler were entered and judged and the winners were awarded their prizes! For a complete listing of the winners, please check out the next issue of the White Cane Bulletin! All blind Anglers went home with a prize! Most of the captains and sighted mates did too! We then all, blind and sighted alike, sat down under the canopy to a good old fashioned wild hog roast! Man, I'm talking, this hog was the best tasting yummies I could of ever imagined!! Dripping with Baby Ray's Bar be cue sauce!! Plus all the fix'ins too! Baked Beans, Cole Slaw, corn on the cob, potato salad and all kinds of desserts too! Sodas, bottled water and wait a minute! Where'd that Oat soda come from? Hmm, Let me get rid of that for you!! Then, we had our own version of Woodstock. The dreaded rain came, and come it did! Somebody later told me that Pine Island got about two inches of rain!! But everyone was enjoying the talking amongst themselves so much, that nobody seemed to notice or care! I think all the volunteer captains and the sighted mates really got to see that blind people are, just regular folks, that love to have fun and some even like to be out on the water and fish!! This is what it is all about!! I am so very proud of my chapter and so damn proud to be a member of the FCB!! I do hope that some FCB members of other chapters can make it down here next year and have some fun with us!!

Pacific.) Session C: 19:30-21:00 GMT (3:30-5:00 P.M. Eastern, 12:30-2:00 P.M. Pacific.) Session B: Intermediate Assistance, General Questions of all sorts: 16:00-18:30 GMT (12:00-2:30 P.M. Eastern, 9:00-11:30 A.M. Pacific.) More details: Sessions A and C: Many people have difficulty with basic iPhone use, making and receiving calls, navigating the home screen, and the like. The idea is to try to get those users the help they need. Depending on the number of attendees and the needs of each, we'll be able to help some in the room, while it is my hope that some expert users will be willing to be present and perhaps team up with frustrated users to offer some individual assistance elsewhere. If it turns out that this sort of help isn't needed, we can answer any and all other questions as in Session b. Session B: this longer session is designed for a wider variety of discussion and assistance. What is the best app to do so-and-so? How do you accomplish this (slightly more advanced) task? How does iPhone compare to this or that phone? I certainly can't answer all, or even most, of these questions, so I hope that many iPhone aficionados and experts will be present to lend a hand. Structure: Ideally, people will be present at the beginning of the session they wish to attend. At that time, I will ask each person to detail his or her expectations, questions and contributions. From this, I will create an agenda and we will strive to cover it. We may not quite succeed, but we'll try. As others come in, I will try to get your concern added to the agenda and your contribution noted. This is all an experiment. This endeavor will be useful, if it is needed, to the extent that people make the contributions they can make and are respectful of the process. How to take part: Come in to the room a few minutes before the session starts. The room is at http://test.tcconference.com/masteradmin/room.asp?id=rs950a0abb90 0d Your username is your first and last name, no handles. No password is needed. If you haven't used Talking Communities before, you'll have to download the free client, which the site will invite you to do. Consider jackie for your needs in web hosting, web development training, JAWS scripting and tech support. You can write to her at abletec at gmail.com If you want to communicate with me regarding this training/discussion, feel free to write to dean at topdotenterprises.com See you all Saturday!

He always had a witty and quick comment to come back with.

I spoke with his daughter and as soon as all the arrangements are made she will let me know about the service and where to send flowers or donations if that is what they decide. Lee was a good kind hearted man who will be missed in FCB greatly! I will never forget Lee as he would come into the room and pick a chair and help carry out the business of FCB. Rest in peace, Lee.

I think this is very cool that Greyhound is actually asking the consumers if their website is actually accessible! Unfortunately, I have always ordered my ticket the old fashioned way. I go down to the local Greyhound Bus Station and buy it in person. Although, I have never even tried to do this online. Mostly because I fear many problems with accessibility issues. So maybe this will give me the gumption to go this route from now on? Here's hoping! I know it would save me about two hours, riding a LeeTran bus down to the station and back! If anyone on this list does give feedback to this request by Greyhound, could you please CC it to this list? I'm just curious as to how accessible the new website is. Thanks, see you in Tampa!....Mike Michael D.

Please note that these items now have new deadlines for comments. Thank you! ------ The Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA) directed the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to establish the Video Programming Accessibility Advisory Committee (VPAAC). On April 9, 2012, the VPAAC submitted its second report to the FCC. That report is available online at http://vpaac.wikispaces.com/. On April 24, the FCC released a Public Notice (DA-12-636) seeking comment on two parts of that report: (1) on video description (120409 VPAAC Video Description REPORT AS SUBMITTED 4-9-2012.pdf); and (2) on emergency information (120409 VPAAC Access to Emergency Information REPORT AS SUBMITTED 4-9-2012.pdf). These reports will help the FCC to establish rules that require video programming owners, providers, and distributors to make emergency information accessible to individuals who are blind or visually impaired, and rules that require video programming devices, such as televisions and set-top boxes, capable of making video description and accessible emergency information available to viewers. How should these parts of the VPAAC second report inform the FCC's rulemakings? Do you agree with the recommendations made in these parts of the VPAAC second report? Why? Are there additional issues that the FCC should consider as it prepares to begin these rulemakings? For additional information on this proceeding, contact Diana Sokolow, Diana.Sokolow at fcc.gov, of the Media Bureau, Policy Division, (202) 418-2120.

Message-ID: <1921B40161494B41BBF03E9E816713C2@B89HHH1> This prototype is too cool! Check it out, Kirk I couldn't resist sharing this - what a hoot! - Joel New camera prototype produces a description of the photo, rather than an image By Mike Wehner, Tecca | Today in Tech - 9 hrs ago A picture is worth 1,000 words. Or, you know, at least a couple dozen With image-tweaking services like Instagram turning our everyday photos into vintage snapshots, it seems like photography itself is taking a step back in time. A new camera prototype turns that idea completely on its head by producing a text description of each photo you shoot, rather than capturing an actual image. It's called the Descriptive Camera, and it just might be the next big thing in photography. The concept is simple: The user takes photo with a web-enabled camera, which is instantly sent to a real, live human being who then writes a short text description of what they see. The information is then returned and printed on a small slip of paper. The prototype uses Amazon Mechanical Turk - a system whereby users can sign up to process various types of data for a small fee. For a little over a dollar, each photo is returned in just a matter of minutes. A reputation metric is in place to ensure that the person processing the photo does a quality job. The implications of the Descriptive Camera go far beyond this cool little prototype. Its creator, Matt Richardson, envisions a future where digital photos contain not just location data, but also text descriptions of what the images contain. Imagine searching for one specific snapshot of your child's first birthday, but rather than browsing endless thumbnails, you're simply able to type "baby with birthday cake" to find what you're looking for.

For those of you still needing a "room at the inn" as it were, we have been able to negotiate with the Doubletree hotel located right next door for comparable rates of $89.00 per night. To reserve a room at the Doubletree by Hilton - Tampa Airport - Westshore for $89.00 per night, call their reservation line at 1-800-222-8733. Mention that you are with FCB to insure you receive our group rate. The Doubletree is on the same side of Cypress from the Sheraton, in the next parking lot over to the left--a very short and easy walk. Please understand, we have not personally visited this facility. However, based on their willingness to accommodate us at the last minute and the close vicinity to the convention hotel, we believe this will be an acceptable solution to our lodging dilemma. Thank you for being patient and for working with us towards making the 2012 FCB convention a success! Looking forward to seeing everyone at the end of the month in Tampa! Sila P.S. The Doubletree's physical address is: 4500 West Cypress Street, Tampa, FL 33607. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

First and foremost, you will be able to read talking books on iPhones, iPads, and Android based mobile devices. However, these mobile apps will have to protect Talking Books from unauthorized use. All of their files will have to be encrypted so that only devices authorized by NLS and used by registered patrons will be able to access books. This process was one of the biggest hurdles to overcome while they were developing the app. Plans are also in the works to distribute audio magazines including Talking Book Topics on digital cartridges. At least three magazines can be put on a single digital cartridge. Because of the higher cost of these cartridges, though, users will have to mail them back to the library so that more magazines can be put on them. Web-Braille, which was started in 1999, will be on the Bard website as well. Now, you will be able to download Braille magazines, music scores, and Braille books all from just one website. Previously, Web-Braille had its own website. The NLS collection will now also have a broader selection of materials with synthetic-speech narration because they will be joining forces with commercial audiobook producers. NLS still has to be granted permission from the rights holders to use commercial audiobooks, but they are constantly working on that issue. In recent years, audiobooks have come from one producer, Brilliance Audio. NLS has only had the money to obtain 200 audiobook titles a year. Now, they are reaching out to other audiobook publishers. "For the most part, people are pretty happy with BARD: it is simple, it provides a basic need, and it does that well. [But] it is growing like crazy, and we have to plan for that," said Michael Martys, an NLS automation officer. It costs $4,500 to produce a talking book from scratch. However, it costs much less when you have the master files of a commercial audiobook. This includes the work that NLS has to do with the book which includes navigational markup and metadata and convert the files into digital talking books. Because the commercial audiobooks don't cost as much to produce, this could free up funds to produce more books each year. Working with commercial audiobook producers will also allow NLS to "get the book out much, much faster," said Neil Bernstein, NLS research and development officer. And patrons will get to hear a wider variety of narrators--perhaps even discovering some new favorites. In the months ahead, NLS will evaluate the quality of various text-to-speech programs and begin to experiment with producing books using that technology--not to take the place of live narration, but to augment what they have. For example, it could be used, by patron request, to produce download-only audio versions of books that are not in the collection. Finally, a remote control unit will be available for those with limited mobility and dexterity issues in early 2012. It's good that NLS is making an app for mobile apps. It's also good that they are adding Web-Braille to their site and also adding commercially-available audiobooks to the Bard website. These changes to the site, along with adding magazines, will make the site even more user friendly to the blind and visually impaired and will be a one stop resource for reading.

BTW. The Sheridan Tampa West Airport hotel will take hotel guests to places, up to 3 miles, on their shuttle bus. All you have to do is schedule it with the hotel desk. I do remember having a rather interesting and fun ride back to the hotel from a night out, on this bus! At last years Mid Year Board meeting! Now what was that Shuttle bus driver's name again? Maybe I can talk him into letting me try driving it this year!! LOL!! See you all in Tampa!....Mike Michael D.

Most of the drivers know what the rules are but are also smart enough to use their own discretion about situations like that.

Where I lived before I took Greyhound often and took my small suitcase on wheels on the para transit. I had my dogs stuff in a canvis bag which I was able to put over the handle of the suitcase when I pulled it. There was never a problem with that. You could take a chance and if they don't let you then take a cab.

(NYSE:BBY) and the International Association of Audio Information Services (IAAIS) previewed The Narrator, Insignia's first "talking" HD Radio(TM) Technology product, at the IAAIS annual conference in Houston. The Narrator, named for its differentiating features includes audible voice responses, access to local HD Radio broadcasts of reading services, and an ergonomic design, was designed in collaboration with the IAAIS to be accessible for people with visual impairments. Customers can pre-order The Narrator today on BestBuy.com for $99, and it will be available for purchase online this July. "We chose to partner with the IAAIS to help identify and solve for the everyday technology needs of people with visual disabilities. The Narrator eliminates the need to see the display. Audible voice prompts tell the user which button was pressed, and when the radio's functions are activated," said senior product manager Mike Dahnert. "The Narrator has universal appeal, but is designed to be simple for a person who cannot see the display to operate." Accessible Design Access to technology is a basic human need, and the team recognized this market is underserviced in terms of consumer electronic offerings. In partnering with the IAAIS, the team was able to identify those radio features most requested by the roughly 20 million Americans who live with vision loss or impairment. With The Narrator, there is no need for another person to tune the radio, set the time, arrange pre-set favorites or be certain that the radio is powered down. The Narrator's key features include: o Audible voice prompts on buttons o Button layout and markings that are intuitively designed o Hi-fidelity HD Radio table top FM radio delivering CD-like sound quality without any static o 20-program memory so that your favorite stations are just a touch away o 3.5 mm headphone jack for convenience and privacy "Our association's member stations provide access to current print so that people with disabilities can live more independently. We offered our insights as to which accessible features would make this radio a highly valuable product to someone living with low vision or blindness. Now, with The Narrator coming to market, people with visual disabilities will have a radio that they can program and tune by themselves. " said David Noble, Chairman of Government Relations at IAAIS. HD Radio The Narrator incorporates HD Radio Technology, which provides crisp, clear sound and a wealth of added formats via HD2/HD3 Channel capability on the FM dial, including sports, comedy and foreign language programming, among others. "HD Radio Broadcasting has moved quickly into the mainstream with more than 2,100 stations in key markets across the United States," said Joe D'Angelo, Senior Vice President of Advanced Services at iBiquity. "The Narrator exemplifies why HD Radio Technology is truly unique by virtue of helping to bring these reading services to a key demographic of listeners through a product that is easy to use."

To all Concerned, Lowe's is now selling American Flag doormats. As Memorial day and 4th of July is approaching, many stores are trying to increase their profits. Needless to say, the selling of American Flag doormats has many Veterans upset. Veterans feel that they fought for the American Flag, many losing their lives, and many permanently injured for the freedoms that the American Flag represents, yet Lowe's is now selling the American Flag as a doormat, " something to be walked on, and something to wipe your feet on", as one veteran put it. "Are they slapping our faces or what", asked another veteran. The V.F.W, the American Legion, and several other organizations was immediately contacted. A veteran with 33 years in the U.S. Navy, had went to Lowe's to buy $300.00 worth of lumber to build a fence, but when he saw the American Flag doormat, he flipped out, made Lowe's take back the lumber and refund his money. Several others walked out of the store. At the Lowe's in N. Charleston, SC, the manager took all the doormats off of display because of complaints and called Lowe's headquarters to report the consumer's and veterans complaints. Those who grew up respecting the American Flag, and those who fought to defend it, would never let the American Flag touch the ground, much less use it as a doormat, to walk on or wipe your feet on it! Most likely these doormats are made in China, but they are distributed by: Mohawk Home 3032 Sugar Valley Rd., NW Sugar Valley, Georgia 30746 Please pass this on to as many people you can.

Tell his Massachusetts school to stop using electroshock devices on children. Sign Gregory's Petition Sherri - In 2002, a special needs student named Andre McCollins was allegedly strapped down and electrocuted for hours, leaving him with permanent brain damage, all because he refused to take off his jacket. The people torturing Andre were officials at his school. You can watch what happened on video. The video was shot at a Massachusetts school for special needs kids called the Judge Rotenberg Center (JRC). Gregory Miller used to be a teacher there, and he says electrocuting kids as punishment is extremely common -- even for minor offenses like raising your hand to go to the bathroom. "A non-verbal, nearly blind girl with cerebral palsy was shocked for attempts to hold a staff member's hand -- her attempts to communicate and to be loved," Gregory says. Gregory desperately wants to help the kids at the JRC - that's why he started a petition on Change.org demanding that the JRC stop using electroshock to punish kids. Click here to add your name. Gregory says the JRC's founder created electroshock devices which are even stronger than police stun guns to punish students for bad behavior. An official at the United Nations said that using these devices on children is considered torture. According to the Boston Globe, the JRC?s founder resigned after being charged with misleading a grand jury by destroying video footage of other students being shocked. Gregory believes that if thousands of people sign his petition, his former bosses will capitulate in the intense pressure generated by a national spotlight. Click here to sign Gregory's petition demanding that the JRC immediately cease its practice of punishing special needs kids with electroshock devices.

To all Concerned, Lowe's is now selling American Flag doormats. As Memorial day and 4th of July is approaching, many stores are trying to increase their profits.

"Are they slapping our faces or what", asked another veteran. The V.F.W, the American Legion, and several other organizations was immediately contacted. A veteran with 33 years in the U.S. Navy, had went to Lowe's to buy $300.00 worth of lumber to build a fence, but when he saw the American Flag doormat, he flipped out, made Lowe's take back the lumber and refund his money. Several others walked out of the store. At the Lowe's in N. Charleston, SC, the manager took all the doormats off of display because of complaints and called Lowe's headquarters to report the consumer's and veterans complaints. Those who grew up respecting the American Flag, and those who fought to defend it, would never let the American Flag touch the ground, much less use it as a doormat, to walk on or wipe your feet on it!

People who sell a flag used in such a way or even people who may buy them, just don?t see how they are treating the symbol. A person who burns the flag, actually has more respect in that they are aware of what it means or what they perceive it to mean. They are consciously acting to make a political statement. I would rather see such an act of protest made rather than a unconscious disregard for the flag which results in nothing more than a novelty or commercial gain.

To all Concerned, Lowe's is now selling American Flag doormats. As Memorial day and 4th of July is approaching, many stores are trying to increase their profits. Needless to say, the selling of American Flag doormats has many Veterans upset. Veterans feel that they fought for the American Flag, many losing their lives, and many permanently injured for the freedoms that the American Flag represents, yet Lowe's is now selling the American Flag as a doormat, " something to be walked on, and something to wipe your feet on", as one veteran put it. "Are they slapping our faces or what", asked another veteran. The V.F.W, the American Legion, and several other organizations was immediately contacted. A veteran with 33 years in the U.S. Navy, had went to Lowe's to buy $300.00 worth of lumber to build a fence, but when he saw the American Flag doormat, he flipped out, made Lowe's take back the lumber and refund his money. Several others walked out of the store. At the Lowe's in N. Charleston, SC, the manager took all the doormats off of display because of complaints and called Lowe's headquarters to report the consumer's and veterans complaints. Those who grew up respecting the American Flag, and those who fought to defend it, would never let the American Flag touch the ground, much less use it as a doormat, to walk on or wipe your feet on it!

They would like to hear from anyone who has requested information on such items as student loans in alternate formats from the United States Department of Education and had their request denied. The message from DREDF follows: DREDF is interested in learning if you have had any difficulty accessing alternative formats from the U.S. Department of Education (Dep't of Ed), Federal Student Aid program. It is DREDF's understanding that the Dep't of Ed only provides alternative format versions for a limited number of its publications, rarely provides notices and communications relating to student loan statements in alternate format and fails to provide appropriate information about the availability of alternate formats to individuals with federal student loans who call their 1-800 number for help or to make requests. We need to know if you have made a request and if it has been denied. If you haven't made a request, please make one and let DREDF know what happens. If they refuse to provide you with the alternate format of your choice, we can help you file a discrimination complaint. We also want to know whether the Dep't of Ed website is accessible and whether the forms on its website are inaccessible (are they all fillable, etc.). Thanks for your attention to these concerns. Please contact Charlotte Lanvers at clanvers at dredf.org or 1-800-348-4232 at your earliest convenience with any questions, comments and responses. Melanie Brunson, Esq.

I have also arrived at a point where I can agree on one premise, but disagree on another. I guess it depends on if aperson dust's their feet on the way in or the way out. I had thought, don't enter this house unless you bring the thought of America with you. But I can keep clost to heart the thought of not walking on the American flag. I don't have one, but I do respect all those true Americans that keep any thought of America sacred. Personally I would paint my house in the flag decor, but Sally would have a fit.

A veteran with 33 years in the U.S. Navy, had went to Lowe's to buy $300.00 worth of lumber to build a fence, but when he saw the American Flag doormat, he flipped out, made Lowe's take back the lumber and refund his money. Several others walked out of the store. At the Lowe's in N.

I think you all know what I'm talking about. You simply adapt your mind to think out of the box. Basically it's just common sense to the enth degree, right? I have tried turning my wears inside out, right side out, sideways and even on my head backwards! Now that last part is just for laughs and not true by any means! I can't find an easy way to tell which way is what. Right side out or inside out? I refuse to sew in a tactile marker or pin them or anything like that. Maybe I can call around and ask if places sell men's underwear with the tag still on them! Sorry for the rant, sometimes this stupid stuff really gets to me! Thanks for listening!....Mike PS.

Maybe this will help you with the inside out problem. Your under ware is correct if the allistick band is on the out side where it is sown to the cloth. Most brands also have there name on the out side of the elastic band that you can feel with your finger such as Haynes and lee. Is anyone going to really know if you are wearing them backwards or inside out except you!!!!

Good morning all, This morning, I came to a realization/question, one of the many since becoming blind. Who was the idiot that came up with the idea of tag-less underwear? I've adjusted to my blindness quite well. Being blind ain't no biggy for me now. I now have the mind set to figure out a lot of ways to do things on my own. I think you all know what I'm talking about. You simply adapt your mind to think out of the box. Basically it's just common sense to the enth degree, right? I have tried turning my wears inside out, right side out, sideways and even on my head backwards! Now that last part is just for laughs and not true by any means! I can't find an easy way to tell which way is what. Right side out or inside out? I refuse to sew in a tactile marker or pin them or anything like that. Maybe I can call around and ask if places sell men's underwear with the tag still on them! Sorry for the rant, sometimes this stupid stuff really gets to me! Thanks for listening!....Mike PS.

Michael, If you can't tell the front from the back, you have a major problem and should be able to figure it out the first time you have to go to the bathroom. Maybe this will help you with the inside out problem. Your under ware is correct if the allistick band is on the out side where it is sown to the cloth. Most brands also have there name on the out side of the elastic band that you can feel with your finger such as Haynes and lee. Is anyone going to really know if you are wearing them backwards or inside out except you!!!!

Maybe this will help you with the inside out problem. Your under ware is correct if the allistick band is on the out side where it is sown to the cloth. Most brands also have there name on the out side of the elastic band that you can feel with your finger such as Haynes and lee.

Good morning all, This morning, I came to a realization/question, one of the many since becoming blind. Who was the idiot that came up with the idea of tag-less underwear? I've adjusted to my blindness quite well. Being blind ain't no biggy for me now. I now have the mind set to figure out a lot of ways to do things on my own. I think you all know what I'm talking about. You simply adapt your mind to think out of the box. Basically it's just common sense to the enth degree, right? I have tried turning my wears inside out, right side out, sideways and even on my head backwards! Now that last part is just for laughs and not true by any means! I can't find an easy way to tell which way is what. Right side out or inside out? I refuse to sew in a tactile marker or pin them or anything like that. Maybe I can call around and ask if places sell men's underwear with the tag still on them! Sorry for the rant, sometimes this stupid stuff really gets to me! Thanks for listening!....Mike PS.

What gives a mobility instructor the right to decide what is important to you or not. Was the mobility instructor employed by one of the light houses. I would certainly be at the dbs Town hall meeting and raise hell about it. I guess in 2112 sighted people will still be deciding what is best for blind people.

For example, as you are sitting there, you will here people being called in through a certain door. That tells you where the door is to go in when your name is called. When you first get there, you can ask, who ever brings you, to tell you where the check in window is from the door you walk in from.

Although she isn't a mobility instructor in most cases a good description from a sighted person goes a long way. As pat said in her message, once you are in the actual office most of it you can figure out on your own but now a days lots of doctors are in the same complex and finding the office it's self can be difficult and if this is the case in your situation, I would not except the mobility instructors decision with out a fight. What does DBS spend there money on? As I am fond of saying, the difference between a dog and cane is that the dog can see and is trained to find doors. Try that with your cane.!!!smile Also a dog will come when you call it.

Mary Ann For Immediate Release Contact: Eric Bridges Director of Advocacy and Governmental Affairs American Council of the Blind Phone: (202) 467-5081 E-mail: ebridges at acb.org American Council of the Blind Applauds U.S. Senate for Including Accessible Prescription Drug Labeling Legislation in User Fee Authorization ARLINGTON, Va., May 24, 2012 - Today blind and visually impaired citizens came one step closer to gaining independent and private access to the information contained on their prescription drug labels as the United States Senate passed S.3187, the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act. "Knowing what medication you are taking and the quantity is something that most individuals without vision loss take for granted," said Mitch Pomerantz, president of the American Council of the Blind. "We are grateful that the Senate, through the staunch leadership of Senators Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), has passed legislation that will allow for a greater level of privacy and independence for blind and visually impaired Americans of all ages who take prescription medications." More than 21.5 million Americans experience vision loss that renders them unable to read prescription drug labels or other medication information independently. With the incidence of vision loss expected to increase with the rapidly aging American population, the consequences of being unable to read prescription information pose a significant public health challenge. People who are blind or visually impaired can mistakenly consume the wrong medication, the incorrect dose, or an expired drug because they are unable to read the label or to distinguish between medicine containers. Some patients have reported being victims of pharmacy errors due to the inability to verify the accuracy of a prescription label. Many with vision loss are forced to become dependent either on sighted companions, pharmacists, or even complete strangers to read them their prescription information. Description of the Legislation Under S.3187, representatives of the blind and aging communities along with pharmacies and the U.S. Access Board will convene a working group. This group will establish best practices for pharmacies to ensure that people who are blind or visually impaired have access to prescription drug labeling. The group's recommendations would provide guidance to pharmacists on actions they can take to ensure that the blind or visually impaired understand the information on their prescription and to enable independent access to that information. The guidelines will provide pharmacies a range of options they can choose to offer consumers, as well as allow additional flexibility for smaller pharmacies. Many of these options are low-cost, widely available, and compatible with equipment already in pharmacies. The working group would consider options including but not limited to: . Enhanced visual aids such as large-print font, sans-serif font, and high-contrast printing; . Non-visual aids such as braille, and; . Auditory aids such as digital voice recorders attached to pill bottles, "talking bottles" that provide audible label information, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags or auxiliary smart labels, which are programmed, printed, and affixed to a prescription label container by a pharmacist. These labels can then be accessed by the consumer privately and independently, using a hand-held device that reads out the label information. After pharmacies have had the opportunity to adopt the guidelines, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) will review the degree to which pharmacies are in compliance. They will examine whether the blind or visually impaired still lack safe and independent access to prescription drug labeling and issue a report to Congress on the remaining gaps and the scope of the problem. ### __._,_.___ Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (1) Recent Activity: Visit Your Group Join the MMD program of Pennsylvania Council of the Blind and help improve tomorrow today in PCB.

Any of you using t-mobile and wanting to go android, t-mobile now has the HTC Ones phone running Android 4.0 called Ice cream Sandwich and some good upgrade deals. If you only have a single line it looks like you can get the phone for $199.00 after a $50 rebate. In my case we have 2 lines and basically got 2 phones for $273 after a $273 rebate visa card. I had to take a data plan which increased my service from $89 to $139 but it includes 1000 minutes, unlimited texting and 5 GB of data transfer. All is shared between the two phones. Ice Cream Sandwich has the speech built in. The HTC One s is a real power house with a 8 MGP rear camera, qualcom's Snapdragon 1.5 gh-z processor, 1 GB ram and 16 GB built in memory. If you are interested, act quickly, these specials end May 28. You can order by calling 18773533614. There are also some other savings if you are extending your contract for 2 years. The $18 per line upgrade is credited on your next bill and you aren't charged for your current billing cycle. Robert -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

An American Cyber-Column Memorial Day - 2012 Rich Galen Monday May 28, 2012 Memorial Day - 2012 Rich Galen Monday May 28, 2012 [This is the 11th anniversary of this edition of Mullings which was first written for Memorial Day, 2001 - four months before 9/11. Our son, Reed, was a member of the team in charge of President George W. Bush's visit to Arlington Memorial Cemetery on that day.] --- "Because of your selfless acts, we stand in the capitals of those who would do our citizens harm." Col. Michael Ceroli, Ft. Bragg, NC --- We went to Arlington National Cemetery to attend the annual Memorial Day observance. The entrance to Arlington National Cemetery is directly across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial. These two historical, mystical, sites are connected by the Memorial Bridge. At the entrance to the Cemetery there is a sign which asks visitors to keep in mind the true nature of this place: Welcome to Arlington National Cemetery America's most sacred shrine. These are hallowed grounds. The Mullings Director of Standards & Practices and I made our way up and down the curving walkways, past the small groups of school-aged children and their chaperones listening to docents working to inspire groups of students. We passed rows and rows of American flags which had been placed in the ground in front of each and every headstone. There are over a quarter of a million heroes buried at Arlington. Generals and privates. Admirals and seamen. Each headstone gets its own flag. Each flag, the same size. Each life, the equal of every other. We walked the familiar grounds, grass wet from days of thunder storms, the morning still cloudy and threatening. Having found what we were looking for, we paused and reflected. --- Entering the Amphitheater we each took one of the small American flags which were being handed out by elderly vets and read the line from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address inscribed above the stage: "We, here, highly resolve that those dead shall not have died in vain." On cue, the Air Force Band and Chorus began to perform. On cue, the sun peeked out. Off in the distance, there was a barked order followed by the report of a cannon, then another order, another report. Twenty-one times; announcing the arrival of the Commander-in-Chief on the grounds. During it all, the crowd stood silently. At the playing of the National Anthem, military personnel snapped a salute, civilians put hands on hearts. The President placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns which is located to the rear of the Amphitheater on a large, elevated deck, out of our sight. We could hear, very faintly, the sound of taps. The crowd was hardly breathing; as if breathing, alone, might drown out the sound of the bugle. The President arrived on the stage without Ruffles and Flourishes. The crowd was silent. This was not a ceremony of pomp and circumstance, nor an occasion for soaring rhetoric. The President spoke, quietly, of sacrifice, and of duty, and of honor. He spoke of young men and young women who would never live out their lives. He spoke of a last kiss between a husband and his wife; of a last wink and wisecrack of a brother to a sister as a train pulled out of a station; of a father and his son hugging for a final time at an airport. Afterward, we stood at the Tomb of the Unknowns to watch the Changing of the Guard; the silent military ballet which takes place there 24 hours a day, seven days a week. --- Arlington National Cemetery, on Memorial Day, has nothing to do with the sweep and grandeur of history, nor the gigantic commitment of resources to battles and wars; nor grand strategies and brilliant tactics. It is a place where - and the day when - we remember the individual men and women who were killed at Bull Run, and Belleau-Wood, at Iwo Jima, on Omaha Beach, and in Korea, Viet Nam, Afghanistan, and Iraq and all the other un-locatable places with unpronounceable names where we have too-often sent young men and women to fight and, too often, to die. Arlington National Cemetery, on Memorial Day, has everything to do with a single white headstone nestled in a neat row among all the other white headstones next to it, in front of it, and behind it. Up hills and down swales. It stands, along with the others, in silent acceptance of a nation's gratitude. Having found it, we paused at one white headstone. One among a quarter of a million. The one with the words carved upon it: John Hugh Curran Captain United States Air Force World War II 1914-1962 Flags in hand, in the wet grass, on a gray morning of Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery, we once again paid our respects to her dad. And prayed silently, that he, here in the company of his comrades, rest; In peace. --- -- END -- Copyright ?2012 Barrington Worldwide, LLC From debbiecg at verizon.net Sun May 27 18:58:59 2012 From: debbiecg at verizon.net (Debbie Grubb) Date: Sun, 27 May 2012 18:58:59 -0400 Subject: [fcb-l] Digital Recorder Inquiry References: <91C3AC212B7D441A89B3974538B46487@Dell> <001501cd3a97$6e53a2a0$4afae7e0$@net> <8F01577F72DF43C1BF0772A78F02E568@Dell> <000c01cd3c56$be4465e0$3acd31a0$@net> <5438272514DA4FE39C4AC64C22D38572@Dell> <000c01cd3c59$a0af4790$e20dd6b0$@net> Message-ID: <3035ECC6C00F4D488B42283EFB8F7770@Dell> I'll give it a look tomorrow.

It was a great concert!! Doc Watson dies: Folk musician's career spanned seven decades By Terence McArdle, Published: May 29 Doc Watson, the blind folk singer and guitarist whose dazzling string work and homespun stage manner transported concert audiences to his rural home in the Blue Ridge Mountains, died Tuesday at a hospital in Winston-Salem, N.C. He was 89. His death was confirmed by a hospital spokeswoman and his management company. He had recently undergone abdominal surgery. Mr. Watson was the founder of MerleFest, a traditional music event in Wilkesboro, N.C., and one of the largest annual folk festivals in the South. The festival was named for his son and frequent musical partner, Merle Watson, who died in a tractor accident in 1985. In a career that spanned seven decades, Mr. Watson influenced such diverse musicians as Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead, Clarence White of the Byrds, the innovative acoustic picker Leo Kottke and bluegrass multi?instrumentalist Ricky Skaggs. "He is single-handedly responsible for the extraordinary increase in acoustic flat-picking and finger-picking guitar performance," the late Ralph Rinzler, an influential folklorist who first recorded Mr. Watson in the early 1960s, once wrote. "His flat-picking style has no precedent in earlier country music history." Mr. Watson's repertoire included country songs, blues and contemporary folk by writers including Bob Dylan and Tom Paxton. And he was musically adventurous, once even jamming on his flat-top folk guitar with the electric soul band Booker T. and the MGs during a 1996 performance at the Wolf Trap outdoor theater in Vienna. He was best known, however, for his old-timey music - the fiddle tunes that he adapted for the guitar and traditional folk songs, such as "Shady Grove," that had been passed down through oral tradition from their origins in the British Isles to the rural communities of the American South. "His music is human, the vivid and simple songs carrying him and the listener to another time, another place," critic Dana Andrew Jennings wrote in the New York Times in 1995. "When he sings a bluesy Jimmie Rodgers yodel, one feels the sting of the Great Depression and the solace Rodgers provided. When he sings a Carter Family song, one can see their Clinch Mountain home in Virginia." As a young guitarist, Mr. Watson was inspired by the records of Grady Martin, a renowned Nashville session musician who acquired a following in the late 1940s for his fast fingerwork on the electric guitar. Mr. Watson learned to play fast fiddle tunes on a Les Paul electric guitar and performed in a rockabilly and Western swing band in the 1950s. In 1960, as part of his field work, Rinzler went to North Carolina to record Mr. Watson's neighbor, the old-timey guitarist Clarence Ashley, with Mr. Watson as an accompanist, for Folkways Records. At Rinzler's insistence, Mr. Watson reluctantly used a Martin folk guitar instead of his electric instrument. He never returned to the Les Paul. Folkways released the album "Old Time Music at Clarence Ashley's" (1961). The recording helped create momentum for Mr. Watson's old-time music. At folk festivals, Rinzler teamed him with Ashley, guitarist Clint Howard and fiddler Fred Price. Mr. Watson also performed as a soloist at Gerde's Folk City in Greenwich Village - the club where Bob Dylan played some of his earliest engagements. Beginning in 1964, Mr. Watson toured with his teenage son, Merle, on second guitar. The two men signed with Vanguard Records and produced such notable albums as "Doc Watson and Son" (1965) and "Southbound" (1966). "Southbound" featured two contemporary songs that became Watson signatures - Jimmie Driftwood's "Tennessee Stud," a modern-day cowboy ballad, and "Windy and Warm," a somber instrumental earlier recorded by guitarist Chet Atkins. The father-and-son duo performed all over the world, with Merle functioning as accompanist, caretaker and business manager. Although he left the singing to his father, Merle Watson was highly regarded by other country guitarists for his nimble finger-picking and, in later years, his Duane Allman-influenced slide work. Demand for the duo increased after Mr. Watson's appearance on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's album "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" (1972). The hugely popular record matched the country rock band with several veterans of bluegrass and country music and is often credited with reviving interest in those styles. During the "Circle" sessions, Mr. Watson met and performed with one of his boyhood idols, guitarist Merle Travis, for whom his son was named. Mr. Watson would later collaborate with Atkins, another of his early guitarist heroes, on the album "Reflections" (1980). After his son's death, at age 36, Mr. Watson briefly considered retirement and cut back on his work. He founded MerleFest in 1988. His many awards included several Grammys, including a 2004 lifetime achievement award. Arthel Lane Watson was born March 3, 1923, in Stoney Fork, N.C., the sixth of nine children in a poor farming family. He grew up in the town of Deep Gap. "In real cold weather you'd wake up in the morning with frost on your pillow," he once told People magazine. "When hard-blowin' snow came, you had to go up in the attic to sweep up the snow and put it out through the shutter window." Mr. Watson lost his sight in infancy from an undiagnosed illness. His father made him his first instrument. (It incorporated the skin of a recently deceased family cat.) Besides involving him in music, his father also included his son in family chores. "He realized I didn't need to sit in a corner because I was visually handicapped," Mr. Watson once said of his father. "He needed me and he knew I was strong and could do the work." Mr. Watson was enrolled at a school for the blind in Raleigh but quit before beginning seventh grade. He started playing guitar, busking on Raleigh street corners with an older brother. At 17, he started performing with a string band on local radio. The announcer, who had trouble pronouncing Mr. Watson's first name, dubbed him Doc Watson. Survivors include his wife, Rose Lee Carlton; and a daughter, Nancy Watson. Although Mr. Watson enjoyed being onstage, he did not relish the travel involved with music and often reflected on the path he might have taken if he had not lost his sight. "I sure wouldn't have gone on the road with the guitar," he once said. "But a man's got to do what he can do. When they let you in this world, they hand you a little box. It's invisible, of course, and it's got a few talents in it. And if somethin' happens that you can't lean on one, why you got two or three more you can get hold of." ?

Upon you be peace and blessings. It just makes me laugh insanely when someone believes that I will ever bow. It is tremendously preposterous when you hear some arrogants speaking an insultingly and discourteously a foul expressions, And then they just attempt to justify it in somehow or another. It is insanely ridiculous when someone mocks at your second language, And uses that as a weapon to fight you, Isn't that just a cowardly intimidated sort of person?, He just can't find something else to use against you. Why should I be cursed just for declining to be a part of the no identity nationhood?. Why I should be insulted because of condemning the American racism?. It is an important statement to note that I have no any trouble with any respectful individuals, My problem lays over with those arrogants who just can't admit their imperfection. I' am not responsible about those immigrators to the US who have sold their dignity and identity for a piece of bread, Or a boll of rice. I' am not responsible about them even if they were Egyptians from my family. I consider someones identity a precious treasury, And if he just decided to lose that, He should rather look for something else to be identified by. It is unavoidably insidious to be part of a nation where you are classified as a second, third, or tenth level of citizenship. Yes, We are suffering of many crisis over here. But at the very least, We can oppose and protest in against that. Another point that I have been meaning to make, About those atheists. I may ask them a basic simple question that is related to their irreverent doctrine. Didn't all the universe came from a blow up point?, a massive explosion, The big bang, The cosmic explosion that is hypothesized to have marked the origin of the universe. Isn't it the theory of evolution folks? Well; Fear not boy, I' am not going to stretch your brain too hard. Let's suppose that I have got a piece of glass, And then I dropped it on the floor, What do you think that I will get as a result of that, Will I get a set of small little glasses sitting over there, All of them filled up with water, or a chaos. So, Would you mind speaking some wisdom to us my fine atheist friend?. By the way, I' am not conveying this statement to convince anyone, I' am just reminding myself and those theistic or monotheistic believers. The Noble Qur'an tells me that it is not my job to guide anyone, I just have to deliver the message, Your Lord will guide you if He glory be to Him wants you to be guided, And He will not let you be guided unless you want to be guided. Can you see how this universe is well organized and structured in a good shape and pattern?. Who made that up?. Did you?, Did I?. I would like to introduce your honour to the significantly impressive scientific statement which was made by a prestigious figure in the field of Embryology who talks about the fair citation records in the Noble Qur'an which mentions clearly the physical evolvement of the human kind in the mother womb. Doctor Keith Moore, The recognized scientific remark, He is majored in the field of Embryology in Toronto University, Canada. Lets watch as he reveals to us his own experience about the scientific testable evidents and the Noble Qur'an simultaneously. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upa4BSH7ua4 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
