    NAD Calls Out Netflix on Captions

    I didn't realize they use Silverlight. They should TOTALLY be able to embed captions.

    FOX 25 Boston is broadcast 16:9 inside of a 4:3 image

    Wait...does this refer to something about widescreen being shown on non-widescreen TV's? I still have not downloaded your file, but I am watching House right now, and I noticed at the beginning that the sides are cut off. When the credits were being shown at the beginning, they were missing...

    Advice for store employee's with deaf customers

    I remember about 15 years ago, I was on vacation and I went into a 7-11. The cashier had a little pin on that said "I Speak Sign" and I thought that was so neat. I wanted one for myself even though I was too young to have a job!

    Do interpreters receive name signs?

    Interpreters are people too. Yes, of course they have name signs. They probably don't come up during work, because there is no need to refer to the interpreter, but they are used when discussing the person outside of a working situation, just like any other person with a sign name.

    Lip movement in deaf/interpreters

    I'm not sure what you're asking about. Are you talking about mouth morphemes, which are a natural part of ASL, or are you talking about mouthing words for people who prefer to lipread in addition to viewing the signs?

    If The CC Doesn't Catch Up With The Words Being Said, Do You Turn It Off?

    I do turn it off if I'm watching a sporting event and it's very badly delayed. I don't need the captions to tell me what's happening with sports. Otherwise I just watch something else if I don't like the captions being behind.

    I'll take your word for it...that file is 95MB and I don't plan to download it myself. May I suggest complaining to the station? Breaking Boston News, Weather & Sports | Fox 25

    Woman volunteered to be deaf(or rather, HOH) for a day

    Soft foam plugs only give you about 30 dB hearing loss from normal, depending on the brand it might be a little more or a little less. So she was not having THAT difficult a time hearing. The article said moderate hearing loss and that's exactly what it was...not DEAF for a day!

    NIC Written exam

    I agree - lengthening the STUDY sign indicates "for a long time" but doesn't specify when you are doing it. OVERNIGHT or WILL specify the when, not the how long.

    What is the law?

    Usually in that situation you just give them the phone number of a local interpreting agency or a freelance interpreter that you know. Because they are the ones paying, they have to make the appointment with the interpreter or agency. The law doesn't specify how they FIND the interpreter, only...

    NIC Written exam

    Great answer! That question had stumped me. I know I've done consecutive interpreting on occasion but I couldn't think of any examples. And the temporal question I didn't even understand!

    F.B.Eye was a TV show starring Deanne Bray, it is not a movie and doesn't star Marlee Matlin. You might be able to find it on YouTube.

    Damn you Sorenson VRS!

    The problem here is that Canada does not have access to VRS unless they are calling someone in USA. That is the big issue.
