Des Moines, IA- The bowling alley at Century Lanes was electric when Dale Davis bowled the lane's first ever perfect game. But the real achievement was because Davis, 78, is blind due to a macular degeneration that occurred years ago."When I got to the tenth frame, I said ‘Lord, let me throw three more good balls" Davis stated. He gave up the sport after he went blind, but it was his sister who

Biography of FernsGenre: Indie / Rock / PunkFrom: Seattle, Washington, United StatesIn a era when music is little more than a career option it's heartening to know that there are still bands out there likeSeattle's post punk power trio Biography of Ferns (guys guys what were you thinking of with that name? It sounds like a David Attenborough series) who believe that music is a form of communication that can transcend political/social boundaries. They wear their political heart on their sleeves playing shows in support of arts groups. women's issues, animal rights and literacy. A punkish trio from Seattle with an agenda and a fond regard for obscure British indie bands.

They say that Shanghai is like New York and Beijing is like Washington DC, so I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised when our guide Michelle took us to a delightful French bistro in the middle of downtown Shanghai. Franck is an attractive little place in the middle of a new shopping area (Ferguson Lane, 376 Wukang Lu, near Hunan Lu), with some lovely (although bargaining-not-encouraged) shops.Franck has a fixed menu for lunch. They brought out a huge French charcuterie platter to start and then big salads. Then we had a choice of 3 entrées. 8 of my group chose Poulet Roti, I went with the fish. (I admit I took few pictures and no notes…but I think it was cod…it was perfectly cooked.) We skipped dessert in favor of coffee, very excellent coffee, before we embarked on a walking tour

Conflict: Wikipedia definition Classic Organizational Behavior suggests tackling conflict in one of the following ways: Avoidance: ‘hiding our head in the sand’, hoping the conflict will go away. Collaboration: working together to find a mutually beneficial solution. Compromise: finding the middle ground whereby a ‘little is given and little is gotten’. Competing: ‘may the best person win’.

There’s a saying, “Love is blind” and it seems to be the case literally with the Kapoor lover boy. He seems to be turning a blind eye to the likes of his family and their opinions as far as his choice in women is concerned.Kapoors are feeling suffocated by his current girlfriend’s over-caring and over-friendly ways. The desperate girlfriend is trying a bit too hard to fit into the family. She tries to tag along wherever they are going and makes sure she’s part of every Kapoor event. A little birdie tells us that the Kapoors feel like all this saccharine-laced love and caring is fake. However,the lover boy is hell bent on changing the opinions of his family as he’s a true believer in the power of LOVE. Here’s hoping that either the girlfriend changes her wa

A recent experiment showed that gene therapy may improve vision in nearly blind people. This is a major advance for the experimental technique as this is the first time scientists used the gene therapy to improve the sight of people with a rare form of blindness."It's a phenomenal breakthrough," said Stephen Rose, chief research officer of the Foundation Fighting Blindness, which helped pay for one study done at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.If successful in larger numbers, experts said, the technique has the potential to reverse blindness from other kinds of inherited eye diseases."I think this is incredibly exciting," said Dr. Jean Bennett, a professor of ophthalmology at the University of Pennsylvania and a leader of the Philadelphia study.

A blind man was describing his favorite sport, parachuting. When asked how this was accomplished, he said that things were all done for him: "I am placed in the door with my seeing eye dog and told when to jump. My hand is placed on my release ring for me and out I go with the dog.""But how do you know when you are going to land?" he was asked. "I have a very keen sense of smell, and I can smell the trees and grass when I am 300 feet from the ground" he answered."But how do you know when to lift your legs for the final arrival on the ground?" he was again asked. He quickly answered: "Oh, the dog's leash goes slack."

A mother of two 16 year old blonde daughters had just bought a new house in a new town. So they were buying paint, shades and all that you would need for a new place.The mother left the house to go shopping. She told the girls that she wanted them to paint the family room but, NOT get any paint on their clothes.After the mother left the two daughters decided that they should just take off all their clothes to obey their mother. So there they were painting naked when they heard a knock at the door.So they both went to the door and said "Who is it?"The reply was " The blind man."So the two blondes thought ... He's blind, so he won't be able to see us naked. They let him in.The man said "Nice tits lady, now where do you want the blinds?

Buboltz v. Residential Advantages, Inc., decided last week by the 8th Circuit, illustrates the important point that merely because an employee has a disability does not mean that an employer must make a reasonable accommodation. This case also highlights, however, the risks that employers assume when ignoring a potential request. Buboltz is legally blind. Residential Advantage, Inc. ("RAI") provides residential services to disabled individuals who cannot live independently. It hired Buboltz as a direct service provider ("DSP"), meaning she was responsible for providing services to the residents. Part of a DSP's job is to provide transportation to the residents. As an accommodation for Buboltz's blindness, however, at the time of hire RAI exempted her from that job function. When her supe

I think I'm pretty secure in the fact that I read the things I read, poetry and prose, because I enjoy them and not because they are works that you 'should' read. I would hate to become that sort of person, who spouts the names of authors to impress other people rather than because I have a genuine pleasure in reading their works.It is always nice to have this reaffirmed, though, as it was yesterday. I was idly opening the Penguin Book of English verse at random and reading the odd poem. This book is arranged chronologically, rather than in chunks of single poets, a method I really like. The other day there was a discussion in my office about the Mona Lisa and someone was saying what a disappointment it was; this is not a surprising view, it is such a familiar image that when some people a

Going In Blind lyrics: One Day, Some DayThis life's not like you wanted it.His eyes I can see again, I need you here.In your mind, nobody's listening.It's alright not to feel again, just breathe again.Time after time, I walk the fine line.Something keeps bringing me back.And time after time, I'm going in blind.I don't know which way I need to go.Feels like your world is caving in.And I cry, failing to understand, I wish I can.It's alright if your missing him.In His eyes you can live again, free within.Time after time, I walk the fine line.Something keeps bringing me back.And time after time, I'm going in blind.I don't know which way I need to go.Time after time, I walk the fine line.Something keeps bringing me back.But time after time, I can't see the signs.I don't know which way I

New York Governor David Patterson and his wifes 2007 income tax filings show that they only donated $150.00 dollars to charity. That charitable donation went to the Salvation Army in the form of clothing. The items probaly were condoms and the boxers he wore when he cheated. This guy is one cheap bastard. Then again i'm not suprised because he did use tax payers money to help pay for his sexual trysts in hotels. In related news, Governor Patterson threw out the first pitch at last nights Mets-Washington baseball game that honored Jackie Robinson. How cruel is that? The good news is that he threw out the first pitch, the bad news is that he threw the ball and it hit somebody in the stands. No word if that fan is suing.

It's funny how alot of people nowadays claim to be 'color blind'. I always hear cliches thrown around about how 'love sees no color', 'everyone is created equal' and the like. Well let me be the first to admit, that no, I am not color blind. The color lines for me were clearly defined at a very young age. If we lived in a utopian society, of course those cliches or sayings would ring true, but unfortunately that is not the case.If I was color blind, I wouldn't notice the looks I receive by other men and women, when I'm out with my friend Jeff, who happens to be white, and we're playfully holding hands. If I was colorblind, I wouldn't notice how certain schools in the Maryland school system with a larger number of black students have some of the lowest test scores in the state. If I was col

The sound of the stopped car’s combustible engine purrs at the four-lane intersection in Baltimore. This is Devon Jones’s cue that all is clear. As Jones describes it, that’s when her white, metal-tipped cane raps across the cement of the intersection as she walks to school at the Blind Industries and Services of Maryland. With failed vision since birth, Jones, 25, a student, relies on her other senses to steer her through traffic. But the silent-running, hybrid car technology puts a dent in her routine. The virtual quietness of hybrid cars, such as the Toyota Prius, can fool pedestrians who think it is safe to cross. “As a blind traveler, in order for me to know how to navigate the streets, I need to know which way the cars are going - if they are stopping, if they

View More Works by This Master This exquisite traditional Korean bamboo blind is made with fine bamboo strips less than 1mm thick, often called ‘bamboo threads,’ which require extraordinary skill to produce. A normal-size blind entails a number of amazing figures: 2,500 bamboo strips; corresponding to approximately 100 bamboo canes; more than 300,000 hand movements; and about three or four months in order to complete one single blind. The Chinese character, “Hui,” meaning “Double Joy,” surrounded by a tortoise motif is exquisitely woven with red threads into the blind. The fine bamboo strips and delicate thread weaving are unique features of Korean bamboo blinds.By using this Korean bamboo screen, a material so magnificently woven that it is often described as bamboo silk, one

‘Blind people don’t see blackness’A provocative afternoon at the hospital as we’re given an awareness workshop by the Royal National Institute for the Blind. Later on we’re to discover that a person born totally blind sees with their other senses. For those who lost their sight in later life, they may see different patterns or the same one permanently. When they dream, they can see – all in the eye of the mind.It’s a philosophical question, and something that is not fully comprehensible to someone who is able to read this blog. Of course, they are not ‘seeing’ in the sense you and I can as there is no visual input into the visual cortex. Occasionally when some people lose sight, they experience hallucinations – a condition known as Charles Bonnet syndrome. We’re told

George Dunning, like his contemporaries John Hubley and Norman McLaren, can best be described as an experimentalist, having used every medium to make animated films, including cut-outs, painting on glass, and direct painting onto film as well as more orthodox methods such as cel and paper. But he has marked him as an individual talent for its use of articulated, painted, metal cut-outs.The first films from the NFB animation unit were cut-outs, because of the equipment limitations they faced ( all they had was a 35mm title stand with a vertically mounted camera). The first cut-outs were jointed or unjointed and made out of cardboardand soft metal sheets.Dunning simplified the process and the method of making the joints. He used black thread between the shoulders and the bodies to provide gr

KUALA LUMPUR: Film-maker Yasmin Ahmad's TV commercial for Petronas in conjunction with the Merdeka celebrations last year bagged the top prize at the Asia Pacific Advertising Festival (Adfest 2008) in Pattaya, Thailand last Saturday. The commercial, entitled Tan Hong Ming, is a heartwarming insight into children's innocence in the country's multi-cultural society.It features an off-the-cuff and unrehearsed interview with a buck-toothed, spiky-haired and talkative primary school pupil, Hong Ming, who admits to having a secret crush on his classmate Umi Qazrina.When the baju kurung-clad Umi is called to the camera, she shyly admits that Hong Ming is her boyfriend.

Somerset: 74-year-old Tilly Trotter has achieved the rare feat of firing an arrow into the back of her previous arrow and splitting it. Peter Jones from the Grand National Archery Society says it is comparable to acing two holes in a round of golf.Adding to the odds is the fact that Tilly has been blind for 17 years and only took up archery two years ago. She aims her shots based on her husband telling her where her previous shots hit."The second arrow made such a noise going into the back of the first that I thought I had hit the ceiling. Then I heard people jumping up and down and shouting. But it was a bit of a fluke," said Tilly. Source: Thesun.co.uk

From AJC: New York's new governor, who disclosed last week that he and his wife both committed adultery several years ago, said Monday that he used cocaine in his 20s and smoked marijuana when he was younger.In reference to cocaine, Gov. David Paterson, 53, said in a television interview that he "tried it a couple of times" when he was "about 22 or 23."Gov. David Paterson and his wife have disclosed they each had affairs years ago. "And marijuana probably when I was about 20," he said on the NY1 cable news station. "I don't think I touched marijuana since the '70s." "More Americans have tried a lot more during that period of time and gone on to lead responsible lives and hopefully have lived their lives to their fullest," he said. Paterson was lieutenant governor under Gov. Eliot Spitzer,

Concerns from blind people that super-quiet hybrid vehicles pose a safety danger to pedestrians who can’t see has gotten the attention of Maryland lawmakers. The Senate voted today to give preliminary approval to a bill calling for study of how to deal with hybrid vehicles, which run very quietly. Blind people say hybrids pose a hazard to those who rely on their ears to determine whether it’s safe to cross the street or walk through a parking lot. The bill, which requires another vote before heading to the House, would direct state transportation officials to study the problem. The officials would be directed to suggest to lawmakers whether it is possible to require a minimum sound level for cars. Click Here to View Original Article

I don't know which is worse: this ad or the close up shots of Amy's impetigo'd face. At this point, I'd rather look at secret option #3 otherwise known as a tomahawk entering my retina. Thanks to Todd for the pic. Remind me to

An Eye For An Eye Will Make The Whole World Blind. - Gandhi... Whoever destroys one life is considered as if he had destroyed the entire world, and whoever saves one life is considered as if he had saved the entire world.. Jewish text Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5 .... God did prescribe to the Children of Israel that whosoever slays a soul, unless it be for murder or for corruption in the land, it is as though he killed all men; and whoever saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the all mankind; and certainly Divine messengers came to them with clear arguments, but even after that many of them certainly act extravagantly in the land.. The Quran 5:32 .. In protest of the deaths of innocent civilians in Gaza, Palestine.dedicated to all the infants, all the spotless souls who died wit

Sarà in vendita da domani il primo singolo estratto dal nuovo album degli Hercules & Love Affair, collettivo disco capitanato dal DJ e produttore di Brooklin Andrew Butler. Il disco si chiamerà come la band mentre il titolo del singolo che lo anticipa è "Blind".

Particolare di pregio è la splendida voce del cantante Antony Hegarty (degli Antony And The Johnsons), che risulta incredibilmente affascinante, adagiandosi morbida su un substrato di suoni funky con un motivetto ai fiati che resta subito impresso. Una canzone elegante, che non ha solo un bel ritmo ma anche sentimento. Perfetta sia da ballare che da ascoltare così, semplicemente, per godersi qualche minuto davv
