I also live in Wyoming, and understand the lack of qualified interpreters here. I would suggest getting in touch with the organization directly, and tellilng them you will need an interpreter.

So what? Our hockey camp has several female players, a couple of whom are trying out for the Olympic team. The 2007 Winter Deaflympics are actually being hosted in the United States this time, in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 2003 they were in Sweeden.

Adam Stone is an old friend of an ex. Though Adam and I haven't spoken in years, I always enjoy reading his witty musings.

On a related note, try-outs for the USA Deaflympics team are coming up in June!!!

Thanks for that video, Eyeth. Where do you find things like that? I think my concern right now is that I have no personal history with any of the candidates, and I've found so little information about them that I feel ill-equipped to judge. If you have resources where I could find more info...

While I won't take either side in this particular debate (I've had too many conflicting personal experiences to be able to really pick a side), I will agree that the "let the child choose" argument is often a bit weak. The job of a parent is to raise their child the best they see fit. Parents...

In general, I feel bad for a lot of sex offenders because so many of them suffer from psychological disorders. Despite being disgusted by the actions of most, I would never say I hate them. It would also be a bit hypocritical of me, since I work with a lot of teenage sex offenders. Not...

I'm with you on that one. I don't understand why everyone likes it so much. I see no appeal in having solid chunks in my drinks.

Matzoh balls.

I'm guessing that by "kosher" you mean, "traditional Jewish food"? Correct me if I'm wrong here. If that's what you mean, yes, I love it. I've been living off matzoh ball soup and latkes for a week due to Passover.

Tattooes are forbidden in Christianity?

For those of you stating that you don't like candidates for personal reasons, what do you mean? I don't know much (anything) about the candidates, so I don't know what you mean by your negative comments.

I never said that this was exclusive to one side or the other, I just pulled out a few examples.

Your words are, by far, some of the wisest I've heard on this issue. I personally think one of the biggest reasons that CIs could destroy Deaf Culture is because of all the arguing. Both sides trying to force their views on the other. Deaf people (note: not ALL, but some) without implants...

I guess I was confused since it was referred to as "Passover day," when, in reality, it's an 8-day holiday.

Morrigan- I've always taken the non-gender specific stance in regards to g-d (though I do admit I tend to say "he" more often than not). I was just curious since pek1 claims the bible states that G-d is obviously a man.

Oranges, strangely enough, along with most other orange, citrus-y fruits (tangerines, clementines, etc). I actually like the taste of them, but the smell makes me physically nauseous.

This was interesting to me, probably moreso than it will be to other people: Number of hearing undergraduates for fall semester, 2005: Freshmen: 12 Sophomore: 7 Juniors: 11 Seniors: 5 Total: 35 Number of hearing undergraduates for spring semester, 2006: Freshmen: 5 Sophomore: 6...

Eyeth, I was hoping you'd reply! I figured you would have some thoughts on the subject. Personally, I wish Gallaudet had provided more than a three or four sentence description of each of the remaining candidates. Sure, knowing their educational and employment history is important, but I'd...

As a future student of Gallaudet (fall 2006), I'm especially interested in the selection process for the next president of the university. I'm curious to hear what you all think. The finalists: Jane Fernandes has been Provost at Gallaudet University since 2000, and previously served as Vice...
