A blogger's dilemma
Mormon: Hi, do you have a minute to talk?
Devil on my shoulder: Oh my god, this will probably make a hilarious blog post. Who doesn't like illogical arguments from Mormons?! Do it, do it.
Devil on other shoulder: I'm want to go home, drink a coke, and take a nap. Don't you dare.
Unfortunately for you guys, lazy Jen won out and I just said "No thanks." Well, I guess I'm still making a blog post about it, so whatever.
To be honest I don't like engaging random preaching theists unless something special really draws me in. I have talked to the Mormons once, and it went something like this:
Me: *accidentally makes eye contact* Oops
Mormon: Hi, would you like to hear the question of the day?
Me: Oh no, now I'm curious. Sure.
Mormon: What's the meaning of life.
Me: Life has no preordained purpose, only that which you give it.
Mormon: *shocked look, like no one has said that to him all day* ...What? You don't believe in a God given purpose?
Me: I'm an atheist.
Mormon: ...What? *even more shock*
Unfortunately I needed to run to class so I couldn't stay and answer his further questions about my godlessness, not like it really would have made a difference. I would have gone on being a heathen, and he would probably still be giving away pocket bibles in his short sleeve dress shirt and little backpack*.
*As a side note, would someone like to enlighten me why the Mormon missionary outfit is so dorky looking? I mean, I understand that they don't want to walk around in jeans and a t-shirt, but why not a long sleeved shirt or a polo? Why where the little backpack that straps in front at all times? Do they dislike homosexuality so much that they refuse to listen to basic fashion advice?

I once had a guy run up to me when I was on my way to class and ask, "Would you like to talk about god?" I said, "Not right now, but I know some other people that do" and gave him information to contact our non-theist group, so that he could be a guest speaker at a meeting or something. He never got back to us.ReplyDelete
You shoulda talked to them... You never know when your well-reasoned words may plant that crucial seed of doubt. Granted most of the time it will roll right off them but personally if someone asks me about it I never miss a chance to let them know where I stand.ReplyDelete
I always talk to missionary mormons - they tend to be nice people and I like offering them a rest and the temptation of illicit substances. They feel better about themselves either because they managed to avoid temptation or because they did something that feels good. I just try to avoid talking about religion.ReplyDelete
In general, any cogent argument against them is going to be met with their personal testimony that god told them that it's true. On the other hand, you just might plant an idea that they just can't leave alone.ReplyDelete
As to why they dress so dorky:
A:They're given a rigid dress code (white button-up dress shirt, conservative tie, dark colored dress pants (if not full-blown suit);
B: they're 19-21 years old and have little fashion sense.
C: What they do can be somewhat physically taxing, as well as tough on clothes, so practicality rules the day. They're sent out with enough clothes to last them 2 years, and usually have little money beyond a small monthly stipend from their parents or their own savings, so buying new isn't usually an option. So they go out with stuff that's mostly built to last.
Mormon: What's the meaning of life?ReplyDelete
You missed the perfect opportunity to say 42.
Rev, that's the answer to the "ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything"ReplyDelete
The meaning of life seems trivial by comparison...

I had this exact experience a few months ago. One of those strangely dressed Mormon missionaries approached me on the street and asked if he could talk to me, and all I managed to do was mutter "No, you may not" and keep walking.ReplyDelete
It was only after walking away that I realized it could have been fun.
I tend to be more confrontational with accommodationists (whether atheists or wishy-washy deist/"spiritual" people who believe in belief) than with actual dyed-in-the-wool faith-heads (to borrow a phrase from Dawkins). Partially, it's because I know so many more accommodationists, but I'm sure that doesn't account for all of it and I really wish I knew why I had this problem.
The Mormon guys look like the Geek Squad...I confuse them sometimes...ReplyDelete

A great way to handle Jehovah's Witness can be found on Dave Hitt's Quick Hitts Podcast "Can I Get A Witness"ReplyDelete
Very funny! Not sure if it'll work on the Mormons.
But, worth a listen anyway.
I managed to get my previous two addresses blacklisted by the Jehova's Witnesses.ReplyDelete
The first time, my Mother was defrosting steak, so I painted my face with the blood before answering the door. We didn't even get to the "want to talk" stage; they just ran away at the sight of me.
The second time, both my dogs (large beasties) went nuts barking and before I opened the door, I loudly yelled "LUCIFER! DAMIEN! QUIET!" those not being the dogs names, they didn't shut up. I opened the door just in time to glimpse the Witnesses turning the corner of my street, running for all they were worth.
No Witness ever comes to my address more than once.
I should probably stop playing with them... but it's just so much FUN.
I really like your response to the "meaning of life" question. It was very well put!ReplyDelete

There is a a blog post in the left menu at bloganders.blogspot.com that contains a proof of the existence of an Intelligent and Perfect Creator (of the universe).
I would like to hear what the Mormons you meet answer after you tell them that.

Anders, if that's your idea of "proof", I think you need a dictionary.ReplyDelete
RE: missionary attire. Having been Mormon for a decade, I suspect it serves a couple purposes. One, they look so stupid no intelligent woman, ie one who might be interested in sex, will have anything to do with them. Two, the Mormons seem to be attempting to force the entire world into a stupid dress code. Do you know that in the 1990s they declared that men could not serve the sacrament unless they were wearing a suit, tie and shoes. Which may not mean much to you, but for the brothers in topical places, like Hawaii, where a suit is incredibly uncomfortable, it's a burden.ReplyDelete
As for them hating homosexuals, I think the missionary system is probably the best way to encourage homosexuality. Forcing two 18 yo men to be in charge of policing each other's sex lives is like leaving the 2 yo in charge of keeping the puppy out of the cookie dough.
With the Mormon and Jehovah's Witness solicitors that come thru our neighborhood, I find that saying "I'm an atheist" pretty much shuts them down. Either they figure I'm a lost cause, or they're too flustered to know what to say next.ReplyDelete
I'll have to ask my Hindu neighbors what kind of response they get.

Goorin Brothers Hat
Selected Casual the 3 June 2011 by Romano as "the garagerocker"
Goorin Brothers story is all about family and tradition. Their business started in 1895, when Cassel Goorin was selling hats in the streets of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Four generations later, the Goorin Brothers company has impoved its range a lot, offering now hats for most elegant as for more casual needs. I've spotted this "Hammond" fedora hat from Amazon. It is such a timeless style, but this one has a flip up crown, removing the adventurer side for something more British. Ideal to protect your head from sunstrokes.

How To Deal w/ Hyper Kittens?!
as-Salaamo 'Alaaykum,
Recently, I got a kitten al-Hamdu lillah. Problem is, it is TOO hyper, ya 'ni more so then any normal kitten (perhaps it is retarded or something (it just jumped on keyboard now for example). I don't mind it, but my mom does! How can I train it to CALM DOWN! And also, is there any way to make them sleep, so that its not waking me up at 2 a.m.

Re: How To Deal w/ Hyper Kittens?!
From what I know, it's normal for a kitten to be hyper or super hyper - you just have to play with it and keep it entertained. Buying another kitten it can play with would be a good idea.
Also, when it grows up a bit more, you'll realise that they won't be as hyper as before. Just take care of it well, inshaaAllaah. Let it go outside after a few months and explore.
In regards to the late night disturbances ... I'd see it as a chance to pray Qiyam al-Layl. My kitty used to wake me for Fajr and it also got the chance to eat. But if this persists, maybe keep it in an empty room somewhere in the house and lock the door. It'll eventually tire out and sleep.
Mubarak btw. Cats are beautiful creatures.Every oppressed one may become heedless for period of time in making du'a against his oppressor except the prisoner, for he knocks on the doors of the heavens each of his mornings and nights until he is released.

Re: How To Deal w/ Hyper Kittens?!
It sounds normal to me. When my cat was a kitten, he used to be so hyper, and now we kinda miss it. Being a big cat now, it's rare that he plays with us in that same manic way for long periods at a time. He is a v active cat who loves going out, but reserves his time indoors with us for eating, being groomed and sleeping. Chasing his tail wildly is a rare sight.
Jumping on the keyboard is normal. Just lock the keyboard when he does it.
When it is old enough, neutering him might calm him down a bit. I couldn't face getting it done with my one, and he's still v boisterous and shows us who's boss.
Does anyone have the prob of a cat with an attitude? My husband doesn't appreciate our cat literally turning his nose up at the cat food he's given (even whiskers!) and sitting down in protest until he's fed some home-cooked chicken.

Re: How To Deal w/ Hyper Kittens?!
This reminds me of a cat I just gave away!
I bought a siamese kitten. In the pet shop it was so cute and looked really innocent but when I got it home it all changed!
It was so hyper and it used to follow me everywhere, literally. It would even follow me to the bathroom, wherever I went I would find it trailing behind me. It was a nightmare because if I ever locked it out the room it would spend all night crying behind my door which would make me feel really bad.
It became so bad that in the end the only solution was to give it back to the pet shop. The journey from my home to the pet shop was also another nightmare as it just wouldn't stay in the box.

The Port of New Orleans' board of commissioners has notified AECOM Technical Services to begin the design of the port's new Mississippi River Intermodal Terminal Project.
The port received a $16.7 million federal transportation grant last year for improvements to the Napoleon Avenue Intermodal Terminal. The project site is an existing 12-acre railyard that serves the adjacent Napoleon Avenue Container Terminal. The new railyard will be reconfigured and modernized into an intermodal container transfer facility.
Construction will begin in December 2013 and is expected to take 12 months to complete.
Additionally, the port and the Louisiana Port Construction and Development Priority Program are matching a portion of the federal grant to build an adjacent 4-acre container marshaling yard at the upriver end of the Louisiana Avenue Terminal. The board awarded a $3.7 million construction contract to Hard Rock Construction for the new paved yard. Construction began this month and is expected to be completed by December.
The overall cost of both projects is estimated to be about $26 million.

It's spring break here, so the libraries are open but quiet, lightly populated and filled with silence and calm. I'm pretty sure it's a great environment to get to work in… except that I've not gotten much work done this morning. My email's binging at me, my calendar's flashing, people are dropping in, the phone is ringing, my ipad's talking to me… We spend a lot of time and energy in libraries improving our workflows, our processes, and our services, hoping to be better, faster, more.

I'm challenged to focus this morning, so I'm going to try writing as brain-organizer. The two things on my mental agenda to write about are our website launch and our weeding project. I'm going to start with weeding, but the website is coming. On Friday, I hosted this semester's luncheon for the faculty who serve as departmental liaisons to the libraries, and there I announced our upcoming weeding project. Late on Monday an all-faculty email went out, describing the projects and processes. We don't fully know the scope of the project, yet, but we do know that we need to […] keep reading…
A thing at which I cannot fail
|January 29, 2012

In my job, there are things at which I can fail, and things at which I cannot. For example, I can fail to complete my secretary's annual human resources paperwork in a timely manner, and all I get is a slap on the wrist and a request to do better. I cannot, however, fail to appropriately manage her workload and performance, as that would have major consequences for our library. Which is not to imply that Angie does anything but good work, it's just an (*ahem*) currently relevant example… So there are lots of things on my to-do list which […] keep reading…

Lisa Mackey
Anne Magrath
Art has always been an important part of Anne's life. After she earned a BA in Fine Arts, she decided should would be more employable as a Graphic Artist. Although she enjoys Graphic Design, she has always been a tactile/hands on person. Fiber is Anne's calling. She has dabbled in a variety of fiber arts, and has rarely met a craft she didn't want to at least try. Quilting, knitting, weaving, dollmaking, felting, she loves it all. Anne first picked up a felting needle over 10 years ago to attach hair to a soft cloth doll. Even then she knew that their was something special in the process and was soon using the felting needle to attach embellishments to quilts, make pumpkins and finally coming full circle and creating goddess dolls with a needle and some wool. Anne truly enjoys the magic of sculpting with wool, and has settled on needle felting as her current passion.
Nancie McCraw
Nancie has been immersed in fiber since she was a child. She has tried just about everything, but once she learned to spin, she knew that would always be her first love. She has a background in computer programming and electronic engineering and she brings this affinity for the technical to her spinning. She not only knows how, but she knows why. Lynn Vogel, one of her spinning teachers, remarked that it was such a pleasure to have a "thinking spinner†in her class. Nancie has taught beginning to intermediate spinning students at several festivals and events in the southeast, at the NY Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY, and at community colleges in western NC.
Sandra (Vasanto) Nechemias
has been working with wool and color since she learned to knit as a child. She has been spinning dyeing, knitting, crocheting, weaving and felting it. She says, 'wool is one of the first man-made fabrics. It is soft, rich, and extremely versatile.' She began to felt by learning to make hats from Beth Beede, creator of the hat-on-a-ball technique.
Kristen Nicholas
Kristen's creative spirit, and love of color, texture and the smell of wet wool naturally led her to fiber arts and the world of spinning. She's been spinning for six years and never tires of the simplest way to make yarn; on a drop spindle. Taking a raw fleece, washing it, dying it, and spinning it brings her great joy. She readily admits the process is what excites her, not necessarily the finished product (as in actually knitting something from her many skeins of hand-spun yarn!). She and her partner Vicki Bennett started Tangled Up In Wool a few years ago, and they've been tangled up in the many uses of wool ever since.
Bex Oliger
Jenny Pelc
Jenny Pelc is an instructor at Weavin' Place ~ SAORI Style in Folsom, Louisiana. She received her Masters of Architecture from Tulane University in 2005. Clothing design/ construction was an interest and pursuit that remained constant throughout her formal education. It was after receiving her degree that she learned to weave and spin.

Today, she teaches part-time at the Tulane School of Architecture and teaches weaving and coordinates workshops at the fiber arts studio in Folsom. The studio regularly offers introduction SAORI weaving classes to groups. Jenny also provides individual lessons to more experienced students who wish to improve their weaving skills and learn new ones.

Leslie Samson
Leslie holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Her area of specialization was metalsmithing and jewellery. Although a profitable endeavor, she found it to be an unhealthy occupation. She searched for an alternative medium of expression. Leslie rushed headlong into the fibre world when she bought her first pair of angora rabbits in 1980. Soon Leslie's life was full of rabbits and spinning wheels. She is the co-author of Completely Angora, a reference book on angora rabbit husbandry and fibre use that has sold in over 45 countries. While researching different applications for this unique fibre, Leslie came across felt making. Felting offered her the freedom of expression that she enjoyed. By applying a jeweller's sense of detail to this natural fibre medium, she continually challenges herself to create innovations of feltwork. For the last 25 years, Leslie has taught felting and angora rabbit care classes across North America. She has taught in Germany and Japan. Her work has also been shown in Scotland and France. She has been featured on a news program in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia as well as Town and Country Ontario and CBC radio. She has written for Spin-Off Magazine as well as many others. A founding member of the International Association of German Angora Rabbit Breeders (IAGARB), Leslie has kept herself busy developing a North American angora yarn co-op and a performance testing system for registration by merit. She works within her association to collect data which is used to improve management of angoras on this continent. When Leslie is not living out of a suitcase, she enjoys a peaceful life on a small farm outside a tiny village outside Brantford, Ontario.

NASA is testing a variety of lunar rover concepts that will help future astronauts explore the moon further than ever before, construct a long-term lunar base and conduct a wealth of science experiments. During the first use of such rovers on the Apollo missions, astronauts completed almost 20 traverses across the surface of the moon. With each successive mission, NASA improved the rovers capacity, increasing the number and duration of exploration missions astronauts could complete on the lunar surface. Concepts for a new generation of rovers, which astronauts will take with them when they return to the moon by 2020, are now being tested at sites around the country that have terrain similar to what might be encountered on the moon. One of these rover concepts is the Small Pressurized Rover, or SPR, that was unveiled in 2007. An SPR cabin prototype was then built and integrated with a rover chassis and completed for testing in 2008.
A friend of mine installed these on his TJ. Total time was only about 1 1/2 hours to install, most of that was looking for the mounting points. His first night run with these at first pulled a few laughs at the disco effect of the lights to his music. After the run his friends were asking where they could get some due to a few noted items. First being the soft light, that actually allowed people to see where the tire tracks were and where the tire's were actually driving on the rocks. The second being that when they got lost looking for a trail and finally found it he stayed to mark the trail and turned the lights to strobe. Everyone said it was so easy getting back to him, they could easily identify where he was.
Originally we were going to do a test between Vision Xs LEDs and our KC HIDs, but this is really not a true test. It is like comparing apples and oranges.
I have to thank you for the opportunity to test these magnificent driving lights. The solid brackets you made, have eliminated all the vibration. Once I adjusted them correctly they work perfectly. However, when I load the vehicle heavily, it is so easy to4 correct the adjustment. I have done 58 000 km in the Nissan Patrol since the lights were fitted and I must say that they have made the night driving considerably safer.
I am a Network Television Engineer and was working on ABC World News with Charles Gibson yesterday at NASA. While shooting Charlie driving the prototype Lunar Rover at Johnson Space Center, I noticed your products covering the vehicle. Thinking the NASA engineers had developed some very unique exterior lighting for the prototype vehicle, I asked them where those LED light bars came from. They proudly said that they purchased them from an off road vehicle supply store and they were standard "off the shelf" products. Impressed with what I saw, I found your website.
120 LED's, durable sealed pods, and a retail price under $200 the Tantrum lighting system is definitely the hottest lighting deal on the market. The only recommendation I have for the Tantrum kit, is it could include 2 light pods designed as spot lights to throw some light out in front of the rig, and leave the other 6 as flood lights. Other than that, the kit is well designed, tough, and easy to install. If you're looking for the ultimate all-in-one LED light kit to give your off-road rig the perfect undercarriage lighting, give Vision-X lighting a call, or click on the below listed link to check out all the other lighting products they make for your rig.
The first test ride went well, the lights performed faultlessly throughout the day. The real test was at night. The Xmitter Lights produce a nice clean quality light, good flood, and the range seemed to be fine, but I still wasn't sure about the range. The LEDs were lined up next to the HID converted Polaris RAZR and surprisingly the HIDs were drowned out, even without all three Xmitters turned on. The range from the Xmitters was as good as the HIDs with so much more light in the mid-range. The Xmitters flood the mid-range with so much light you dont realize how good the long range actually is.
As for Vision X, "What can you say about Vision X, Vision X has had an overwhelming amount of success in the short time that they have been active in the sport", " many teams can attribute their Baja victories to the reliability of the Vision X HID racing light", It is easy to conclude that without such a racing light victories in Baja would not be possible", Mark said.
Would I get another XMitter bar? Damned skippy, I would. These things are the best thing in lighting ever invented and, with the longevity and durability of LED's, is certain to be the wave of the future. The bottom line is this: Usually when someone tells you something about a product, you order it and hope it lives up to at least half of their claims. This is probably the only thing Ive ever seen that lives up to all of them, and then some.

Tennessee ranks second in the nation for the amount of prescription painkillers sold, and studies show one out of 20 people age 12 or older in the state is misusing them.
Gov. Bill Haslam and the state's top mental health official Doug Varney are calling prescription drug abuse a "widespread epidemic," and they plan to lay out their strategies on tackling the problem Tuesday.
So far, divisions have emerged over the the best solution. Earlier this year, the state legislature discussed repealing a law that some say gives physicians too much leeway to prescribe potentially dangerous pain relievers. But Julie Griffin of the Tennessee Medical Association told lawmakers that doctors were split on whether repealing was a good idea.
"Tennessee Medical Association has about 8,000 physicians, and on most issues we agree pretty unanimously," she said. "On this issue in particular, we have members on both sides."
She said more restrictions on doctors could send patients to pain clinics, which might not prescribe drugs appropriately.
A state spokesman says the governor's plan won't recommend specific changes to the law, although it may influence legislation in the future.

As Kroger's Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Mr. Hjelm is responsible for managing the company's nationwide network of information and technology systems, including systems used in retail stores, manufacturing plants, distribution centers and offices.

Enough of Gary Busey and his ridiculousness. It's time for the Celebrity Apprentice competition to really begin.
Catherine Oxenberg, Paul Simon - May 10, 1986: Co-hosted by Catherine Oxenberg and Paul Simon, with a special performance by Penn and Teller. Sketches include 'The Late Show With Joan Rivers,' and 'Beverly Hills.' watch
Penn & Teller reveal that the only thing scarier than crime is America's war on it, characterized by bad science, ineffective methods, incompetence and corruption. watch
Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) has always been the smartest man in the room...until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large-Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris)-and not only is he Holmes' intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective. When the Crown Prince of Austria is found dead, the evidence, as construed by Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan), points to suicide. But Sherlock Holmes deduces that the prince has been the victim of murder—a murder that is only one piece of a larger and much more portentous puzzle, designed by one Professor Moriarty. Mixing business with pleasure, Holmes tracks the clues to an underground gentlemen's club, where he and his brother, Mycroft Holmes (Stephen Fry) are toasting Dr. Watson (Jude Law) on his last night of bachelorhood. It is there that Holmes encounters Sim (Noomi Rapace), a Gypsy fortune teller, who sees more than she is telling and whose unwitting involvement in the prince's murder makes her the killer's next target. Holmes barely manages to save her life and, in return, she reluctantly agrees to help him. The investigation becomes ever more dangerous as it leads Holmes, Watson and Sim across the continent, from England to France to Germany and finally to Switzerland. But the cunning Moriarty is always one step ahead as he spins a web of death and destruction-all part of a greater plan that, if he succeeds, will change the course of history.

Step right up and enjoy the universally loved show that has entertained audiences for over 40 years! The Fantasticks is as fresh and dazzling as ever in this screen adaptation from the original creative team of Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt. Director Michael Ritchie (A Simple Wish) orchestrates the musical talents of Oscar® winner Joel Grey (Cabaret), Tony Award winner Barnard Hughes (Da), Jean Louisa Kelly (Mr. Holland's Opus) and Joe McIntyre (New Kids On the Block) in a magical, mystical love story inspired by Romeo and Juliet. Two teenagers on neighboring farms steal glances and hide their romance from their feuding fathers. Little do these lovebirds know, however, that their fathers are actually good friends who've hatched a plan with the help of a mystical roving sideshow and its equally mysterious ringmaster to get these lovers down the aisle! But be careful what you wish for. Because to bring these families together they must first be torn apart!
A mysterious fair comes to a small community in the countryside, which could make real the illusions of two kids.
The "bad boys of magic" go over the edge in this mind-blowing, role-switching comedy murder mystery set in the dizzying world of Atlantic City casinos. In a TV interview, Penn mentions his idea of a fun practical joke: "I wish someone were trying to kill me. It would give focus to my life, excitement. I'd be like James Bond." Twenty-million people hear him. One decides to deliver a punchline he'll never forget. Made by people who thought Psycho was a comedy, Penn & Teller Get Killed (they also wrote the piece) features Caitlin Clarke as the femme fatale and David Patrick Kelly as the Edgar Allan Poe-esque nutcase with a new mission. Arthur Penn, known for hip masterpieces like Bonnie and Clyde, Alice's Restaurant and Little Big Man, directs with roller-coaster pacing and subversive intelligence.

A mother's hope answered
Amanda Crider, Contributing Writer
The holidays are here reminding us of the miracles of Christmas. No one knows this better than Rosalyn Johnson, mother of Bamberg County's own miracle.
On May 23, 2007, we ran an article telling the story of little Anthony Dajohn Porter. Born with only half a heart, little Anthony beat the odds by living past January.
Little Anthony is the son of Rosayln Johnson and Anthony Bernard Porter of Denmark. He celebrated his first birthday on December 1.
After being home a mere three weeks, little Anthony went back to the hospital for his second open-heart surgery. His parents are waiting patiently for his chest to close so he can come home.
Rosalyn Johnson said, "We had to stop work and learn how to care for our baby with a trachea in his throat, an IV line in his chest, and a feeding pump in his stomach, but we have patience, faith and love the Lord so it's another blessing. Praise God."
Little Anthony has one more surgery to endure after his fifth birthday.
Along with little Anthony, Rosalyn has three other children. It has been hard to leave one child for the other, but Rosalyn's mother, Dorothy Singleton has been helping her by keeping her children and sending them to school.
"I want to say to everyone, keep faith at all times, no matter what. My son is still here after doctor's said he wouldn't make it," said Rosalyn. "God said different. He's a miracle. A testimony. He blows kisses, he sits alone, he uses his arms and does things they said he would never do. God is good and he gets all the glory. Wait on the Lord and have faith."

SAN LORENZO, Paraguay – How do you order something to eat in a café where no one can hear?
With sign language and patience.
Since March, Sord@s Café, the first café in the country and in South America that's run entirely by the deaf, has become a place for those with hearing disabilities to share a meal, a snack or a chat in sign language.
The café was created by the Paraguayan Deaf People's Association (APS), with support from the Ministry of Justice and Labor (MJT) and several NGOs.
The café, which has a staff of five – all of whom are deaf – is located in San Lorenzo, a suburb about 14 kilometers (8.6 miles) from downtown Asunción.
"At the Association we thought of creating a business, since in Paraguay there are limitations on deaf people's entering the labor market," said APS President Werner Martínez, who is deaf. "We attended a course on micro-businesses, offered by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. There, we came up with ideas for businesses and that is how Sord@s Café came about."
Sord@s Café has two objectives: eradicate the barriers of discrimination that face the deaf and offer employment to those who can't hear.
About 10,000 deaf reside in Paraguay, according to the country's 2002 Census.
"There is a lot of discrimination in Paraguay against deaf people," Martínez said in sign language, interpreted by Laura Riveros, secretary general and APS's official interpreter. "It is important [that Paraguayans] understand that people with disabilities need to be treated equitably and have equal opportunities."
Martínez added through his interpreter: "We are not sick people, we are people with rights and we have families like every hearing person."
But Sord@s Café welcomes those who don't have a hearing disability to enjoy the restaurant's pizza, sandwiches, hamburgers, juices and rolls, among other items.
Customers can point to a visual menu so the deaf staff can complete their orders. Sord@s Café also has a monitor that loops a video of an interpreter showing how to ask for coffee, a slice of pizza or a hamburger in sign language.
"We want to teach those who are not deaf about our language," said Augusto Alonso, vice president of APS. "Our placemats have the hand signs of the alphabet on them so we can share our language with hearing people."
Alonso said Sord@s Café is accommodating to those who are not hearing impaired.
"Some hearing people come to the Café and talk to us to make their orders," he said. "Then, we have to explain to them that we are deaf. Everything is possible with patience. We can communicate well with them, so there are no difficulties in that sense."
Robert Servián, 22, is in charge of the kitchen at Sord@s Café.
"I learned to cook here," he said through Riveros, his interpreter. "Sometimes it's complicated to communicate with hearing clients."
But Servián said that through patience, communication between the customers and the staff is achieved.
"If they talk to me, I tell them to speak more slowly and I explain that I am deaf. In that case, we show them the menu with the hand signs, with the images of the products and their prices, and that is a great help in improving communication."
"If a client prefers to write down what he wants to eat, he can do that, too," added Christián Quiñónez, a 23-year-old who is in charge of supplies and accounting at Sord@s Café.
Sord@s Café's profits are not as high as management expected, but the restaurant is proving the deaf can run a small business.
"Sord@s Café makes an average of $250,000 guaraníes (US$64) profit per week," Quiñónez said through an interpreter. "The issue is that we have lots of bills, especially in terms of buying supplies. We also have payments to make, such as rent, electricity, water."
Quiñónez said he is trying to find ways to cut costs to improve the bottom line.
"I am trying to save by finding less expensive supplies to try to increase profits," he said. "I do price comparisons because each guaraní counts in order to make money, and we want to show that we are able to support this venture."
But Alonso said providing employment to five deaf workers is invaluable.
"When you go to involve a deaf person in the labor market, many believe that he or she will not know how to read, write or do anything, which is why we're always denied employment," Alonso said. "The café proves otherwise."

For the treatment of superficial bacterial infections of the external auditory canal caused by organisms susceptible to the action of the antibiotics, and for the treatment of infections of mastoidectomy and fenestration cavities caused by organisms susceptible to the antibiotics.
Therapy with this product should be limited to 10 consecutive days.
The external auditory canal should be thoroughly cleansed and dried with a sterile cotton applicator.
For adults, 4 drops of the suspension should be instilled into the affected ear 3 or 4 times daily. For infants and children, 3 drops are suggested because of the smaller capacity of the ear canal.
The patient should lie with the affected ear upward and then the drops should be instilled. This position should be maintained for 5 minutes to facilitate penetration of the drops into the ear canal. Repeat, if necessary, for the opposite ear.
If preferred, a cotton wick may be inserted into the canal and then the cotton may be saturated with the suspension. This wick should be kept moist by adding further suspension every 4 hours. The wick should be replaced at least once every 24 hours.
Bottle of 7.5 mL with sterilized dropper (NDC 61570-038-75). Store at 15° to 25°C (59° to 77°F).
