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
