I Couchsurfed with Settlers in the Holy Land
A couple of months ago, my friend was on a rant (albeit, a very coherent one) about how CouchSurfing's website supports Zionism by allowing settlers in the West Bank to list their location as "Judea and Samaria"—the Israeli name for most of the disputed West Bank. She was trying to make a point about how CouchSurfing is supporting Israel's colonialist project of erasing Palestinian identity. But what I took away from it was: 'Wait, you can CouchSurf in the settlemen… Full story

Friendly fire a possibility in shooting that killed U.S. border agent
PHOENIX (AP) — The shooting of two U.S. Border Patrol agents near the Arizona-Mexico border may have been a case of friendly fire, a union chief for border agents and law enforcement officials said Friday.
The development could shake up the investigation into the death of one of the agents that re-ignited the political debate over security on the border.
George McCubbin, president of the National Border Patrol Council, a union representing about 17,000 border agents, said Friday he has learned new details from Border Patrol administrators that make him believe friendly fire could have played a part in the shooting.
"The only thing I can say is that the possibility of friendly fire is a higher likely scenario," McCubbin said, declining to elaborate on the new details.
Two law enforcement officials also told The Associated Press that the FBI is investigating the possibility that the fatal shooting of 30-year-old Agent Nicholas Ivie and the wounding of another agent early Tuesday five miles from the border was a case of friendly fire.
The probe is examining whether the two agents exchanged gunfire Tuesday in the mistaken belief that each was being fired on by a hostile gunman.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter is under investigation.
FBI officials in Washington and Phoenix declined to comment.
Investigators trying to determine whether friendly fire occurred in a shooting involving police would compare the ballistics of officers' guns with bullet slugs that were either recovered from or passed through an officer's body, said David Klinger, a criminology professor at the University of Missouri at St. Louis and an expert in police shootings.
The officers involved in the case and any known witnesses also would be asked to provide accounts of such a shooting during interviews with investigators. And investigators would try to establish where officers and witnesses were positioned at the time of the shooting, Klinger said. Continued...
The Border Patrol couldn't immediately comment on the frequency of friendly fire incidents at the agency, but they appeared to be rare.
Neither McCubbin, who has served in the Border Patrol since 1985, nor Kent Lundgren, chairman of the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers, had ever heard of any friendly fire incidents in the Border Patrol.
"I know of absolutely none in the past, and my past goes back to 1968," Lundgren said, citing the year he joined the Border Patrol. "I'm not saying it never happened. I'm just saying I've never heard of it."
The shooting occurred in a rugged hilly area about five miles north of the border near Bisbee, as the agents responded to an alarm that was triggered on one of the sensors that the government has installed along the border.
The wounded agent has been released from the hospital, while the third agent was uninjured.
Ivie's death marked the first fatal shooting of an agent since a deadly 2010 firefight with Mexican bandits that killed U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in December 2010 and spawned congressional probes of a botched government gun-smuggling investigation.
Terry's shooting was later linked to that "Fast and Furious" operation, which allowed people suspected of illegally buying guns for others to walk away from gun shops with weapons, rather than be arrested.
Authorities intended to track the guns into Mexico. Two rifles found at the scene of Terry's shooting were bought by a member of the gun-smuggling ring being investigated. Critics of the operation say any shooting along the border now will raise the specter that those illegal weapons are still being used.
Twenty-six Border Patrol agents have died in the line of duty since 2002.

Fascinating to learn that the rediscovered longer MB may not have been the release cut. Callow, I blame you for my error!
Lance, the second, shorter version released to theatres in the early '50s (and seen for decades as the definitive version of the film) is IMO easier to understand. But the longer version is richer, and my favorite. Both films IMO are let down by their Macduff and Malcolm, who pose no counterweight to Welles's Macbeth and make the last half of the film(s) a bit dull at times.
Welles wasn't completely satisfied with MB. So maybe we can divide his films into two categories: those he liked, and those he didn't?
And what will happen to all our lists and figurings, when TOSOTW comes out in, er, 2010?

No government official would get an argument on this from the taxpayers. And for whatever it is worth, Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John W. Burke is intent on doing his bit to hold the line on taxes in 1972. This action may not solve the international dollar problems, but could have a salutory effect on the dollars taken home by Tobay residents. In a statement released in the process of being achieved," STUDENTS' GOOD DEED: Dr. Charles W. Laffin, Jr., President of State University at Farmingdale, and Chairman of the College Committee in the Long Island Olympic Fund Drive ( Right) receives contribution ($ 50) from Victor Favuzza, Bellerose. part of the proceeds realized by the Aggie Recreation Supervision Club in their sponsorship of the recent Empire State Table Tennis championships held on the college campus. Looking on ( Center) is Martin Bursden, co- chairman of the Long Island Olympic Committee. Close to 1000 spectators watched the 200 contestants during the 2- day Tournament. yesterday, Burke said he expects to file with the Town Board on September 15, 1971, a Town budget that will hold the tax line in 1972. The General Fund tax rate of .616, the Highway rate of .644 and the Building and Zoning rate of .083 will remain the same under the proposed budget. The General Fund budget totals $ 11,423,073. The Highway budget is $ 5,059,621 and the Building and Zoning budget is $ 855,893. Burke said under his tight fiscal policy he is hopeful of holding the tax line in special district budgets. " The goals and objectives I outlined to Budget Director Joseph Macedonio in May of 1971 and on August 30 of this year are Burke said. " The job freeze, plus a careful line- by- line review of departmental requests which resulted in good reductions are the principal factors enabling us to hold the tax line in 1972. This stringent fiscal policy will continue as I am fully cognizant of the economic pressures currently weighing upon our homeowners and my objective is to continue lo provide essential services with the least amount of spending." The Town Board previously enacted a local law which requires the Supervisor to file his proposed budget by September 15. Upon review of the Supervisor's budget, the Town Board will set a date for a public hearing some time in October. Public Hearings on Curriculum School Board Wants to Involve Residents The Farmingdale School district opened its doors this week with all professional staff positions filled. Charles Manso, Assistant Superintendent of Schools reported at the school board meeting Tuesday evening that the professional staff has 34 new faces and a net reduction of 28 people due to the budget cuts. He also reported that this year had a very small turnover rate of just over 3 per cent in contrast to 6 or 7 per cent in previous years. ( This figure includes leaves of absence and sabbaticals.) In an effort to get public involvement, the school board has set up public hearings for each school in the district. Trustee Roberl Weiss, chairman of the school board curriculum committee, said he hoped the public will come to these evening hearings to discuss curriculum and other questions pertaining to the schools. The schedule is as follows: Oct. 5 at Main Street School, October 6 at Northside, October 12 at East Memorial, October 13 at Parkway Oaks, October 18 at Albany Avenue, October 19 at Woodward Parkway, November 3 at the High School, November 8 at Howitt, and November 9 at Mill Lane. Weiss said that the curriculum committee would also be meeting with interested staff members. The director of transportation, Gerard Donolli, said thai the bus fleet had been inspected and was in good condition. Two new safety features, right hand mirrors and crash pads on the backs of the seats, have been installed in all the buses as requested. Donnolli also reported that higher protective fencing had been put up on the west sidewalk on Carman Road where it crosses the Southern Slate Parkway. The town of Oyster Bay will be putting up additional fencing at the approach to the walkway to funnel the children onto the sidewalk. The LI Park commission did not raise its fencing on the East side since only few children use that sidewalk. Gilbert McCotter, executive representative of ARA, was at the board meeting to answer questions about the company's administration of the cafeteria program. He said the school board still controls the menu and quality and has a veto on personnel. Under the contract, the school district will subsidize the program no more than $ 41,000; ARA would be responsible for any higher costs. Board President Robert Campbell said that last year the subsidy was over $ 85,000 including such things as pension and insurance. The Howitt Gymnasium is expected to have a roof by the end of the month and to be ready for occupancy by early winter. Dr. William Kinzler, superintendent of schools, reported that construction had been delayed about two weeks because of an intra-union dispute. The School Calendar for the year will be ready September 25. The delay in publication is due to the late passage of the budget. Hawks Open Season The big day has finally arrived: after many evenings of preparation and hard training, the Hawks Football League will officially open the new season this Sunday, September 12. The Opening Day festivities include a parade-, ceremonies and an exhibition game betweens the Senior Hawks < md Syosset.

The brushfire was reported by Bethpage Park on Tuesday afternoon at 4: 30 p. m.

Insider Tips: Server Management with inetd and xinetd
If you have many daemons running on your server, it can be quite difficult to keep track of them all. inetd and xinetd manage these services centrally and also take care of exchanges with your clients, allowing programs without network code to operate as Internet servers.
Typical server applications handle network communication autonomously. They open a socket and listen at a TCP port, using the port to send and receive data. Interaction with a socket is not exactly rocket science, but coding a program for socket interaction can be troublesome and prone to error. It can also be quite difficult to keep track of the various configurations. Central security settings involve a lot of effort if each server has its own set of configuration files. And what's more, it doesn't always make sense to re-invent the wheel by coding each program separately for network access.

With a golf dossier in hand, the links expert will create a program tailored to your needs and follow up your on-site evaluation with an email containing customized results to help enhance golf performance. By combining physical workouts with an improved technique, both weekend swingers and pros can maximize distance and accuracy.
Invented in the '70s as a humane alternative to the draconian waffle eat-off that previously resulted in oft-disputed rankings, the college bowl system has become a beloved football tradition. With today's Groupon, $35 gets you a ticket to the second annual EagleBank Bowl on Tuesday, December 29, and admission to the all-you-can-eat tailgate feast before the game. Watch the clash of UCLA vs. Temple from the all-star seating section, sated with food from local restaurants and the knowledge that your Pomeranian could probably never get into your jar of premium capers.
United Social Sports brings recreational athletes together to socialize and showcase their hand-eye coordination. Free agents or team-sized groups register for the organization's casual coed leagues dedicated to traditional sports such as softball and volleyball as well as carnival games such as cornhole and skee-ball. Each league hosts 6–8 weekly matches, which culminate in a final tournament and an end-of-season party—much like youth-sports leagues, but with postgame drink specials.
You'll be led in the ways of matching and loving under director Ron "Ald" McDonald, aka Tennis the Menace, aka the Count of Volley Cristo—a US Professional Tennis Association–certified coach and 35-year veteran of successful tennis-knowledge transmission. You'll be grouped with a handful of swingers at your own skill level, allowing you to reap the benefits of group training and assign each other catchy nicknames. Through fun drills and lightly competitive scrimmaging, you'll build on fundamentals and incorporate new flourishes into your victory dance.
In 2005, the Montreal Expos became the Canadian Expats, pledging a new allegiance and taking on a new identity as the first big-league club to inhabit America's capital since the Senators moved to Texas in 1971. In 2008, the team christened its new stadium, Nationals Park, which today welcomes up to 41,418 fans, its 4,500-square-foot HD scoreboard almost distracting from the panoramic views of the Potomac riverfront, the Capitol dome, and the Washington Monument. Accredited as a Leadership in Energy and Environment Design stadium, Nationals Park also sits 24 feet below street level, making its main concourse even with city sidewalks and saving many fans the danger of riding frozen, thin-aired escalators just to reach their seats.
Since 1973, skaters have been sailing effortlessly across Fairfax Ice Arena's spacious, icy surface during public skate sessions, figure skating–lessons, and hockey leagues for all ages. At the family-owned arena, a staff of dedicated skating coaches guides students while calling upon experience from the St. Petersburg State Ballet on Ice, Disney on Ice, and the lesser-known On Golden Pond on Ice. The arena is open throughout the year, hosting a full hockey and figure skating–pro shop in addition to its Arena Café.

exceeded my expectations. i absolutely love this sink, haven't installed them yet as we are still framing, but i am sure they will look perfect with the granite that we picked.
Completely satisfied with this product, it is even more beautiful in person. i can't wait until it is installed in my home.
This sink is huge and so attractive! I'm excited to put it into my powder bath soon!
This perfectly matched the cool magmatitic counter. We love it!
Such a bang for your buck! The colors on the screen are very close to the actual colors, but you can't appreciate the depth and luminescence on the screen. The colors (except the black at the top) are a high sparkle metallic that is magnified by the 3/4" thick glass. The outside of the sink is finish in a flat red, but the carved pattern shows, so it is equally attractive. My clients LOVED the sink in their new powder room- such a statement!

Published September 1, 1999.
Extensive testing uncovered the secrets of a quick-cooked fresh tomato sauce that is both hearty and brightly flavored.
If you are going to bother with fresh tomatoes when making a sauce for pasta, the sauce should be at least as good as (if not better than) something you could make by simply opening a can.
We had two goals when developing this recipe: The first was to preserve the fresh tomato flavor. The other was to figure out how to prepare the tomatoes in a way that would yield a sauce with the proper (that is, hearty and dense) consistency.
Peel and seed the tomatoes for the best consistency and shortest cooking time and use a wide pan to promote quick evaporation. Cook the tomatoes with extra-virgin olive oil and garlic, finish with fresh basil, salt, and pepper, and thin out the sauce with a small amount of pasta cooking water.

The nation's newest citizens rejoice in New York City
Here are portraits of some of the almost 300 foreign-born children of naturalized immigrants who recently received citizenship certificates at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in New York City. Children of naturalized immigrants eventually can receive U.S. citizenship if they arrived in the country as a minor, but they must go through a process at USCIS to receive official citizenship documents.

Pozole de Pato (Corn and Chile Stew with Duck and Shredded Cabbage) |
Category: | Appetizers |
Source: | Chef Richard Sandoval |
Description: | This recipe is adapted from Chef Richard Sandoval's book, Modern Mexican Flavors (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2002). The original calls for the traditional hominy, but for summer, he says, fresh corn, grilled right on the cob, makes a delightful substitution. Wine recommendation: Robert Mondavi Carneros Pinot Noir. "The Pinot Noir will stand up to the hearty pozole. It would be earthy, a little more complex, but it still has a nice acidity, and it would pair well with the duck," says Sandoval. |
Number of Servings: | Serves 4 |
Ingredients: | For the pozole: 8 ears fresh corn, shucked 3 tablespoons canola oil ½ cup white onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, chopped 2 dried guajillo chilies, stemmed and seeded 4 cups duck or chicken stock 1 bay leaf For the duck and cabbage salad: 1 cup green cabbage, shredded ¼ cup red radish, shredded (about 4 radishes) 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice ¼ teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 4 boneless duck breast halves, with skin 1 tablespoon honey Sliced radish for garnish, optional Chile powder for garnish, optional |
Directions: | Grill the shucked corn, turning it a few times, until the kernels start to color. Remove the ears from the grill and allow them to cool. When cool enough to handle scrape the kernels off the cobs with a knife and set aside. Discard the cobs. In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the onion and garlic and sauté over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes or until softened. Add the chilies and sauté for 30 to 45 seconds or until slightly darkened. Add 2 cups of the stock and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the chilies are softened. Pour the chile mixture into a blender and purée. Strain through a medium-mesh sieve back into the saucepan, pressing on the solids with the back of a ladle or rubber spatula. Discard the solids in the sieve. Add the corn to the saucepan along with the bay leaf and remaining stock and keep warm. Mix the cabbage, radish, cilantro, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the duck breasts, skin-side down, and sear for about 5 minutes, until crisp. Turn and sauté for 5 to 10 minutes longer, until cooked through. Transfer the duck to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then slice each breast diagonally across the grain into 3 thin slices. Add the honey to the pozole and season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve: Divide the pozole between 4 shallow soup bowls. Spoon ¼ cup of the cabbage salad into the center of each. Then, in each bowl, arrange 3 pieces of duck breast angled upright around the cabbage. If desired, garnish with radish slices and sprinkle the rims of the bowls with chile powder. |

Hydrology of the Bow River
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Series: It's an Old World After All
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
How Do We Know the Earth is Old? (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
The Questions Update: The Age of the Earth
We've recently been looking at the evidence for an old earth and the long history and vibrancy of this view among evangelical Christians. Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "How are the ages of the Earth and universe calculated?" revised by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma.
Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism, Part 2
Barkley suggests that material creation is not the end of our understanding (as Naturalists think), but a beginning that unveils the majestic and power of a Creator who loves us.
Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism
Pastor Joseph Barkley of Ecclesia Church extols the greatness of the God who has brought forth incredible works and engaged humankind in relationship. In the first part of the sermon "Over and Above Naturalism," Barkley admires the factual knowledge unlocked by science, and yet reminds the Church that those material descriptions fail to answer the question of ultimate significance.
Saturday Sermon: Gloriously Functional
Is Genesis 1 describing material creation or functional creation? Pastor Richard Dahlstrom of Bethany Community Church beautifully articulates the insights he has received through John Walton's book The Lost World of Genesis One and probes deep into the Biblical text with us.
Revealing God's Nature
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.
Science and Faith: From Collision to Collaboration
in Genesis two, God calls humankind to know and study the surrounding world. The scriptures say that Adam took on the God-given task of naming the animals, which is, in fact, science: the exploration of the natural world.
Of all the blessings to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day, none of them surpasses the riches of the eternal blessings which the Lord has bestowed on his sons and daughters in Christ Jesus.
Saturday Sermon: The Failure of Religion
In the last verses of Romans 2, the Apostle Paul relates the "failure of religion because of the terrible beauty of the Law" to the need for a regenerate heart.
"Centered": The Language of Science and Faith
In a recent interview with the Sirius XM radio show Centered, Karl Giberson sat down with host Don Belanus to discuss the book The Language of Science and Faith.
Seeing the Flood Story Through an Ancient Israelite Lens
Pete Shaw highlights the story of Noah to explore how the story would have been understood in ancient times and from there he goes on to explore how we might consider it today.
Breaking Free of the Enlightenment's Shackles
Pete Shaw, the senior pastor of Crosswalk Community Church in Napa California, offers a brief history of the interactions between science and faith in the first segment of his sermon.
Series: Maker of Heaven and Earth
In his sermon, Dave Swaim discusses the early chapters of Genesis that seemingly contradict scientific evidence, and he suggests that Christians have simply asked the "wrong questions" about this ancient text, which has led to warfare between the two. In light of this, Swaim wraps up his sermon with the three concluding points that he feels sums up the Biblical truth of creation: there is an all-powerful God, he has a perfect plan, and he has given us his love through Jesus Christ.
Art, Worship, Creation, and Imaginative Engagement
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
Saturday Sermon: John Piper on Genesis 1:26-28
In this message, John Piper, one of America's most loved pastors explores the sense in which creation "begs for completeness."
Saturday Sermon: Heart of Darkness
In the Garden of Eden, Eve is tempted to put her own desires ahead of God's call for her life. The serpent tells her that if she eats of the fruit she can become like God: she, in essence, can become the master of her own fate.

My name is Kalah Dolman and I am 15 years old. I am writing today to thank you for the wonderful Victor Stream you sent me as a prize for participating in the Braille Challenge. I will be sure to put it to good use, and like my BrailleNote Apex, I will treasure it always. I would also like to say that as a company that supplies visually impaired individuals with technology supplies, you are proficient and always hit the mark. I very much appreciate everything that you have invented in order to make our lives easier. Again, I would just like to say thank you for the Victor Reader and please keep up the good work.
I remember the first time I had my Sendero GPS working with my Braille Note. I was like a child in a candy store. Why? It was for the first time that I didn't have to ask an Access driver "Where are we?" It gave me so much information that I was craving for and really didn't know what I was missing not having a GPS on the BrailleNote. The most ironic thing is when I give precise directions to drivers who don't know where they are driving or I turn off speech and know when I'm being taken for a joy ride and need to correct the driver. The Sendero GPS has given me more independence when walking in unfamiliar areas. The spatial directional input is wonderful in having a choice on cardinal, right-left, and clock directional indicators. This gives more precise abilities to find the exact location of one's destination. I am looking forward in the near not distant future in traveling to London and visiting my son. It's the fact that I will be able to know exactly where I am and get to my final destination independently.
I am a totally blind professional jazz pianist and jazz piano instructor who has been a VERY SATISFIED owner of the HumanWare Maestro and Trekker GPS system since December, 2006 and May, 2007 respectively. Once I purchased the Trekker, I have used it on many occasions in my travels, both on foot and in automobiles. Trekker has been invaluable in guiding my wife Debii and me to unfamiliar destinations. In September, 2007, I was invited to perform with a drummer and bassist in the Summer Jazz in the Park concert Series in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Trekker gave me a guided tour through downtown Milwaukee as Debii and I enjoyed the great weather and she took many pictures of the architectural landmarks both old and new. In June, 2009, I purchased the Victor Reader Stream, and I can't express in words adequately how many hours of enjoyment and benefit I have gained by owning one. When I placed the order, the customer representative with whom I spoke told me that once I owned one, I would not want to be without it. She was 100% right! The Stream has given me access to books that were previously either unavailable or only available in Braille. I remember my grade school and high school years when Braille, talking books on vinyl records, reel to reel tape and then cassettes were the available formats. Now, thanks to your magnificent Victor Reader Stream, the computer and the Internet, I can easily download titles and transfer them to my Stream and read at my leisure anywhere! The Stream has also been invaluable to me as an instructor of jazz piano. Sometimes during lessons, I use recordings by great jazz pianists to illustrate techniques or stylistic concepts. Thanks to your latest Stream update, I can now easily search for and play any track that I have stored in the $VRMusic folder! Such convenience and flexibility was unheard of when I attended Dartmouth College from 1967 through 1971 and the University of New Hampshire from 1974 to 1978. Finally, I want to commend all of you for your sincere, dedicated and diligent work as you develop products that are truly user friendly and perform exactly as promised. Furthermore, your philosophy of giving users access to FREE, DOWNLOADABLE UPDATES TO THE ASSOCIATED SOFTWARE demonstrates your commitment to assuring that owners of your products can always keep them up to date and performing optimally! Keep doing your marvelous and wonderful work that allows people such as me to attain greater independence, education and enjoyment by owning your products.
I walked to the Post Office today which is a good two miles one way. The best part, because it was such a nice day, my husband walked with me with the two Pugs as well I had Ms. Whisper (my Service Dog) with me. My husband has never really seen me walk with Whisper, my cane, and the Breeze. I walked in front as I had the Breeze. My husband offered no help except to tell me where there was ice or low hanging tree branches. He said he did not want to take away from any of my skills. He was totally amazed at my confidence and I knew exactly where I was at all times. I just have to remember to turn the volume down when I go inside, as I had the speaker attached and I had everyone turn around and then they all wanted to know about the Breeze.
Being an avid crafter, I purchased a large needlepoint canvas to keep me occupied during the anticipated long hours at the hospital. I pulled it out, I had the yarn to finish it; however, my vision is no longer adequate to do such detailed work. I used every available magnifier I could find, with limited success. I then saw the SmartView. By using the SmartView I was able to complete the project and present it to my Son, Daughter-In-Law and Granddaughter on October 15, 2011 exactly 29 years after I started it!
Since getting my Brailliant 40, I have had access to braille outside of the blind school I attended. This meant that if I got my college textbooks electronically, I could still read them. Even between semesters and beyond, I could use the brailliant with my iOS device and read books purchased using iBooks! This meant that I could still keep my braille reading skill up while still enjoying a book for the same cost as everyone else! This was not my first braille display, but it's been my best!
I have a pretty active social life and like to travel a lot and often fly or take Amtrak trains alone. This would not be possible without my little Brailliant Braille display. Since I am deaf and cannot hear to talk on the phone and am also blind and cannot see to read texts, this is my only way of communicating with anyone. I not only use text messaging to communicate with family and friends but also use it to communicate with my employer, to "call in sick", to schedule appointments with doctors, to ask my guide dog school questions, and to check my credit card and checking accounts and the weather. It also allows me to access the web where I can shop for my groceries, dog food, Braille embosser paper, labeling tape and more. And last but not least, my Brailliant gives me 24/7 access to a favorite pastime: reading. I love to read!
We now have 9 Classmate readers in use daily in our class as well as 2 of our families have purchased Classmate Readers for their child to use at home.As we began to pull the most recent test scores a week ago, 85% of our students were not only on the grid, but some had even doubled their lexile scores from the previous test 4 months ago! Not only that, but our students' daily language and vocabulary are increasing at a dramatic rate! Humanware's Classmate Reader has changed the world for the students within our program.
I love the fact that I can now communicate with family members who are deaf. Also I am a deaf blind person so the DBC sure comes in handy. I love the fact that I can send a message with the DBC and then my family members can send a message back to me. I love the fact that I can now read the message and keep the communication going. I also love the fact that now I can use the DBC as a TTY to call my family and keep in touch.
View Plus has been invaluable, allowing us to emboss the regular classroom materials for these students. Since the ViewPlus allows us to interline print what is Brailled, anyone can assist the student with their work, not just the teachers and TAs in the school who have learned Braille. It is truly a great tool for everyone in our school and enables the blind students to participate in the activities that the sighted students do.
I struggled with reading. The fact that English is my second language made reading even more difficult. To make reading easier, my vision teacher introduced me to the Victor Reader ClassicX when I was in sixth grade. I LOVE this piece of technology! It is really easy to use, very intuitive, and I was using in with no problems within about a month of being introduced to it. For me, the Victor Reader is really a life-saver and makes possible many of the things I thought would be impossible.
Not be able to read was the worst thing about my sight lose. The Victor Reader allowed me to enjoy story's again.
As a math major in university, I have a volunteer record a peer's handwritten notes onto DAISY cd's, which I listen to on a DAISY reader from HumanWare. This allows me to bookmark important formulas or concepts to refer to later, and ensures I have access to all visual material (such as graphs) that I might miss in lecture. This resource is invaluable, and I'd be lost without it.
The Smartview 360 was invaluable in helping me adapt to my new way of life. Finally without struggles, I could do paperwork, read lengthy documents and do everyday tasks such as mail and paying bills at the office. The camera ability to see distances allowed me to use it to see the speakers and powerpoint presentations at medical and other meetings. On a personal level, it has been great for my home life too in applying makeup, threading a needle to sew, doing crosswords which I terribly missed and in general, giving me my life back as it was before the loss of vision.
Video magnification is essential. Without it I could not read labels and prices while shopping, balance my check book, write checks or notes by hand, read addresses on letters, labels on prescriptions, the mail itself, find places on maps, enjoy pictures, or make sense of all of the clutter on forms. I can make some sense of TV so long as I sit close, but need well lit magnification to get the right channel and sound level. These are life tools.
My Pocket Viewer is an invaluable tool – I write natural history books, essays and monographs, website and magazine articles describing the habits and habitat of the fascinating bio-diverse wildlife species that occur here in "America's only Tropical Rainforest.' I would be lost without the portability of my trusty Humanware Pocket Viewer – it has helped me to remain productive and meet or exceed publication deadlines – by using it constantly, I am still extremely 'able' despite my perceived disability.
The sense of freedom and triumph could probably only be understood by someone who, like me, had never been able to do something like this before unaccompanied. Thanks to the Breeze, this summer will be far less isolating for me than the last one. I've learned how to get to a mall and restaurant, my church, and a few other places including a centre where I volunteer once a week mentoring young people.
It is really satisfying to see the growth in my clients' independence as they realize what the Trekker Breeze enables them to do.
I don't know how I ever got along without the Breeze. It has kept me from getting lost, and made traveling more efficient for me on countless occasions.
I have been using a HumanWare Trekker Breeze since August 2010 and it's the best aid I have along with my cane. I think of my Breeze as a friend and a helper so I would really like to let people know what a huge difference the Breeze can make to their independence and freedom.
I use my Voice Note daily both at work and at home and frankly, I can't live without it. After several months of using it, my supervisor allowed me to demonstrate it to other staff members to raise awareness of what adaptive tools can do to prepare the blind and visually impaired for various kinds of work. So it's been a win, win situation and I thank the people of humanware for my Voice Note Empower QT!
Andrew had issues with taking his spelling test on a Perkins Braillewriter because the teacher could not score his test at the same time as other children. Now that he has learned how to use the Braille Note, Andrew takes his spelling tests in the classroom and when done prints his test out and gets it graded at the same time as the other kids. It is devices like the Braille Note that allow my son to be able to experience the classroom the same way his classmates do. It has helped his self-confidence and for that I am grateful! Thank you HumanWare.
I've been able to edit HTML code efficiently. -- When I call Dell's tech support line, I'm able to read off my customer ID. -- During my last year in college, notetaking was more efficient. -- As the webmaster for the National Alliance of Blind Students, I often use the Braille Note's braille display to read notes I prepare prior to board meetings. -- Dialing phone numbers is more efficient.
I rely on a voice note Apex, having retired the Empower for a newer Humanware model. I am just as pleased with it as I was with the first device and plan to use it for many years to come. It is an intuitive little machine, lightweight, portable, and able to interface with my personal computer with improved software tools. What impresses me the most is the improvements in internet accessibility and the ergonomic wrist rest below the QUARTY keyboard. This design improvement allows my hand to rest upon it so I have less wrist fatigue when typing for extended periods of time. Thank you Humanware for providing this great machine so people like me can continue to lead independent, productive lives.
My success story is my daughter. Her name is Julia. She is 5 years old and attends Kindergarten at Battle Grove Elementary School. This school year, with the help of her teachers, she has learned the basic functions of the BrailleNote taker. She is such a smart little girl, she reads very well and is constantly challanging us to push her even harder. With all of the advances in technology, it is only a matter of "what can the world handle" when it comes to my daughter, not what can she handle.
I love the Planner to help me schedule committee meetings and doctor appointments. I have used the alarm feature to wake me up in the morning. It works just great. The Address Book feature is wonderful for looking up telephone numbers and for sending emails. An excellent, very useful and fun product - the Apex. Thank you.
The use of Braille Note takers revolutionized many aspects of my life, and brought Braille back in to my world in a new way. For myself, one of the most thrilling concepts about me and my BrailleNote is the idea that the Braille world, which I thought I had lost has come back alive, and will always be part of me, how I work, and who I am. The BrailleNote allows me to be competitive, and still keep using Braille to eternity. I am looking forward to exploring many more uses I have still not touched upon for my BrailleNote. Some day, should I need to get an iPhone; the good part will be that I'll be able to use it with my BrailleNote.
I have used the Braillenote for taking notes during Church, reading the songs that we sing during Church, taking notes at different conventions, reading the Bible, and reading books for enjoyment. Also, having the Braillenote requires me to practice my Braille, since I did not learn Braille as a youngster, I need to keep practicing the skill so that I do not lose it. The Voicenote and Braillenote both have made improved my life tremendously.
I have used VoiceNote and BrailleNote products for the past ten years. Before that, the Keynote Companion saw me through university. I now use the BrailleNote Apex for wordprocessing, email, diary and recording phone records. It even gets a workout on my laptop as a braille display from time to time. When people see me working on an Apex, they are immediately assured that they can have confidence in my ability to get the job done.
In confronting my blindness, the one thing I wanted to do was stay in my same junior high school with my same friends and lead my normal life. The BrailleNote and Oratio have been instrumental in allowing me to stay on that path. I use the BrailleNote in all my classes and I have been able to maintain a near straight "A" report card over the past year. I have a hope that any child that is blind will be able to use a BrailleNote to help them advance in school and become a productive adult. In addition, my social life has not missed a step either in part to HumanWare's Oratio. You can probably imagine how important text messaging is to kids these days and having Oratio on my Blackberry has been a God send.
With my Braille notetaker, I now have a voice in the classroom and have been able to make a number of presentations. It has opened up so many avenues of communication.
I am a totally blind United Methodist pastor. I use the Apex for almost everything I do: searching the internet for sermon resources, writing my sermon, referencing different Bible translations, connecting to my GPS to visit parishioners, writing the bulletin, and so much more. Everything I need for my work with people is on that Apex and strapped over my robe on Sunday mornings, it guides me through each part of the service, from the hymns to the scripture reading, from noting the prayer requests to reading the sermon outline. It frees me up to be fully independent and fully available to those I have been called to serve.
I am thankful that the wireless internet process has been simplified and now such book formats as National Library Service digital books and Audible are recognized by this outstanding machine. With every new model of this impressive note taker the features I have come to rely on are only improved upon and the new features allow for even more accessibility to the ever changing technology of this day and age.
I am an avid user of the BrailleNote Apex. I started out by using a BrailleNote MPower which worked well, but I quickly outgrew it. I am now using a BrailleNote Apex BT for my personal and school use. I can connect the BrailleNote Apex to the laptop and use it as a Braille display. I love how it supports many external devices. It's so fast and snappy on the internet! I can email, instant message with friends using the Keychat application, surf the internet and more.
My student was a Braille reader, but a very slow one and we were supposed to increase his reading speed as one of his goals. We started using the Braille Note to talk back and forth and then he was able to obtain a Braille Note with a Qwerty keyboard. This gave him so much more independence when out in the community, as he could write a message, use the speech to talk to someone, and they could respond by typing a message on the standard keyboard, and he could read the Braille display.
One thing I couldn't live without is my BrailleNote Apex. I can surf the web (with sites such as Google) when I am doing a research project or just to find information much faster than a regular computer.
I use my BrailleNote constantly. I love for the first time in my life to be able to read my own e-mail and to send out e-mail. I gave up teaching after only 48 short years. I then started following my interest in poetry. I started writing poems about many subjects. The result being that I published my book called DIE DAILY: Dream, Improve, Enjoy. The whole entire book was written with my wonderful BrailleNote. The book is exactly 200 pages long in print, and about 375 pages in braille.
I use my victor reader to record voice lessons, choir rehearsals and mp3 files of music I am rehearsing. The variable speed control allows me to practice slowly until i get the part perfected, then, speed it up to the designated tempo. I really am pleased with the amount of material I can store on the victor reader and the book mark feature allows me to locate passages in music I want to review.
During my last semester of undergraduate study, I was required to student-teach Spanish at my local high school. The Stream allowed me to test my students using an external speaker. I played audio clips of Spanish conversations, and students were to answer questions on their computers and save them to text files. Although I had a computer that allowed me to read text files, nothing is as small and compact as the Stream. The Stream has been, and will continue to be, an integral part of my life.
My stream is my most important item in my bag. Through the years I have used a digital recorder, tape recorder, I Pod and all together they weighed me down. Now I take the one device and am set. Thank God for the makers of the VR Stream!
My Victor Reader Stream served me well on several more occasions, and provided a means for me to relax with a good book and plenty of music when the hectic days were done.
Thanks to the Victor Reader Stream I can now go to meetings very well prepared. Not only does the VRS hold my music collection, talking and audio books, descriptive movies and voice recordings of the meetings and conventions I've attended, but two functions make it a real asset at every meeting I attend. First is the fact that I can highlight topics within the materials I bring to meetings. As the meeting agenda moves along I track the highlighted material and am prepared to discuss my concerns. The second function that has saved and kept me involved with discussions is the BRS word search function. It even comes in handy at the grocery store when searching for something like ketchup and the search reveals Aisle 4. Love this new technology, thanks!
I clip the Stream on my belt, plug in the head set and dance away. Now for the real success: I have the cue sheets recorded several weeks before the new dances will be introduced in class so that when the time comes, I'm up to speed immediately. I'm not the best dancer, but I'm the oldest and certainly the only blind clogger. I jokingly call myself "the world's oldest blind clogger". I love dancing with Victor.
This product is allowing me to complete a Doctoral Degree in History. Due to the compact size of the reader and strong battery life I can read / study anywhere as easily as a sighted person can read a book.
Once upon a time, about two years ago, I was introduced to my best piece of technology called the Victor Reader Stream. Now since I have gotten well acquainted with the victor reader stream, I just call him Victor. I am a recently graduated master's student and when I started my program two years ago, I felt relieved to have the victor reader stream become a part of my life. Being able to have talking book files, text files, audio files, etc, at the touch of my fingers, felt like magic.
Ever since I placed that reader in my hand, I have done nothing but make up for lost time. The time I lost reading, thumbing through bookshelves and filling my mind with knowledge. The use of my VR Stream has impacted and improved my life as a teacher and learner in unspeakable ways.
The memory card holds voice notes, speech recordings, my favorite music, over one hundred audio books and much more. Using a computer screen reader and an ear bud to listen to a manuscript, I can record a reading on the VRS in my own voice for playback during conference and critique meetings. Feedback recordings at those meetings enable me to make changes to improve a manuscript without sighted help. This feature rich, powerful product is a blessing to own. I am seldom found without my Victor Reader Stream. It tucks neatly into a shirt pocket, jacket or purse. One never knows when a good book idea might pop up and I want to be ready when it does.
The "sleep" button proved invaluable. If I happened to fall asleep, I didn't need to search through all the information to find the spot where I drifted off. I knew the segment of time that had elapsed, and could navigate quickly to that point. I am so happy with my new guide and grateful for my VictorReader Stream which aided in my training.
I have used the Victor Reader Stream to learn to play the piano. Since the book was in Daisy format, navigating to specific areas of the book was effortless. Skipping back or forward was a breeze. Bookmarking spots I deemed important allowed me to review specific material with ease. All of this made my learning to play piano a much more enjoyable and productive experience. I certainly won't be playing at Carnegie Hall any time soon, but the personal achievements I've made and the sense of self-fulfillment have been extremely satisfying. I can attribute my success to the tools I now have at my disposal, including RFB (now known as Learning Alley) and technology such as the Victor Reader Stream.
I ride my bike, I go to gym three times a week, and I am good to go. Better than before. Riding, working out at the gym, what is with me on the high road to recovery? Yes: My Victor Stream Reader. Steady throughout. I wish every blind person had access to this technology. I swear by it.
I love my Victor Reader Stream, I think that it is a given for all of us fortunate enough to have one. I use it for all the usual stuff talking books, music dvs movies and text documents etc. It does help me stay organized and always handy for a note. This brings me to the most cherished success stories I have thus far using the Victor Reader Stream.

Beautiful shoe and very comfortable! I usually have to pad the width as my foot is narrow. The width was a good fit so I would say the shoe tends to run narrow. Additionally, it runs short in the toe area so I would order a 1/2 size bigger. There is no arch support as the shoe is open in the arch area.

Though these shoes are quite beautiful they were not as comfortable as I had hoped. I bought them for my son's wedding, realizing that new shoes need to be broken in, but unfortunately these left a red mark on the top of my foot just over my toes. So, needless to say, I will not be wearing them again. On a good note, they made my feet look like Cinderella.

I bought these shoes to wear at my daughter's wedding. Love the style, very dressy. I especially like the lower heel. I got tons of compliments and even found a bracelet that matched the rhinestones on the shoe. I was able to wear the shoes during the ceremony and all night at the reception, even danced in them! Zappos was great, too. Received the shoes in within two days.

Loved the shoe! I have problems finding dress shoes that I can walk in. These were better than most. They were also beautiful and elegant. Even my husband loved them. I thought about getting the Wide but they were unavailable in my size so I got the Medium. I am normally a Medium width but someone suggested getting wide for more comfort. The Medium was true to size. I liked them so much that I thought about getting them in black also just to have because it is so hard to find dress shoes that are pretty and not extremely high.

I bought this shoe for a gala I had to attend. I needed a relatively lower-heel dress shoe because I just don't wear high heels much; I wear a size 11, have narrower feet, mild arthritis in one metatarsal joint and bunions. I walked 10 blocks in this shoe and spent the evening on my feet - the shoes were great! They were comfortable, although a little more padding in the ball of the foot would have been nice. They hid my bunions nicely, didn't give me blisters (I did not get a chance to break them in) and they are a color that will go with everything. I can't really comment about the arch support, as I have flat feet, but I did wear these for 5 hours with lots of walking and no blisters or sore feet the following day; I consider that real success! I buy almost all my shoes from Zappos, since they have my size, and with free shipping and returns, I can try shoes on at home, at the end of the day, and really decide in my own time.
I'd also recommend: dansko, ecco, bjorn, cole haan, asic, sofft,

Awesome service! Ordered these beautiful shoes in the AM and had them the next day PM. The shoes fit so well; the heel height is tall enough to be stylish but short enough to be comfortable all night long.

text: I'm Julie, a 40yr old Mum of 4 and amateur photographer from North Norfolk, England. I've been taking photos as long as I can remember, but it's only been in the last 5 or so years, that I've developed a real passion for it. My 'thing', if you like, is insect macros. I love being able to show what insects ( and spiders and all things creepy crawly) really look like. I use a Canon Powershot S5IS, with which I use a Raynox DCR-250 macro conversion lens and as of 2012 a Canon EOS 1100D Thank you for looking.
