Hi all: I plug in my power cords by first exploring the position of the 
holes that you plug the tongs in. Once I figure out the location of the 
holes, then I match the round tong up with the round hole and then, I match 
up the other two flatter tongs and once they are alined up, then I just plug 
it in like anyone else would do with or without site. I use one finger to 
get the lay-out of the plug since I don't want to give myself a shock. I 
also touch it lightly since I only want to figure out the shape and 
location. I only need to know the location of the round hole and where the 
line holes are located and I can line up the right tongs once I know its 
lay-out first.
     I also read that someone wants to get ideas on how to keep their cones 
from roling away and staying in one place. How about using sauce pans? I 
hope that it will help you guys out!

>> Baltimore, Maryland (November 14, 2011):   Once again, Santa has enlisted
>> the
>> help of the elves at the National  Federation of the Blind
>> <http://www.nfb.org/>  (NFB) Jernigan  Institute to get Braille letters 
>> out
>> to hundreds of blind boys and girls  this Christmas season.
>>
>>
>>
>> Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the  National Federation of the Blind, 
>> said:
>> "Santa approached the National  Federation of the Blind a couple of years
>> ago
>> and asked us to be his  helpers.  I'm quite fond of the fellow and was
>> delighted that we could  assist him in his work.  Braille literacy is the
>> key
>> to success and  opportunity for the blind, but unfortunately too few 
>> blind
>> children are  learning it today.  This program will not only spread 
>> holiday
>> cheer  but will also serve an important educational purpose, as blind
>> children  will be able to practice reading Braille as they enjoy their
>> letter
>> from  merry Saint Nicholas."
>>
>>
>>
>> Between November 15 and December 20,  parents can go online at 
>> www.nfb.org
>> <http://www.nfb.org/>  and  fill out a Santa Braille Letter request 
>> form.
>> <http://www.nfb.org/Forms.asp?MODE=NEW&SnID=2&Forms_FormTypeID=-45> 
>> The
>> form can also be printed and faxed to (410) 685-2340.  Beginning 
>> December
>> 1,
>> the Braille letters from Santa will start going out to boys and  girls
>> around
>> the country.  The Braille letter will also be accompanied  by a print 
>> copy
>> (for mom and dad to read), and parents can choose the  contracted or
>> uncontracted form of Braille for the letter.  Requests  for letters must
>> include the writer's name, the child's name, birthday,  gender, mailing
>> address, and a telephone number or e-mail address in case  Santa's 
>> helpers
>> at
>> the National Federation of the Blind have questions.
>>
>>
>>
>> The deadline for letter requests is December 20, to ensure  that a return
>> letter in Braille is received before Christmas.  For  more information 
>> about
>> this and other programs of the National Federation  of the Blind, please
