[Nfbc-info] cable issue for the blind

Sat Jan 31 21:55:37 UTC 2015

Let us know how you like your X1 St Top Box. I'm planning once I get a 
job and maintain it and get enough money, I'll first of all purchase a 
house, then call the accessibility number for Comcast to sign up for 
both internet/TV services and then tell them I'm visually impair4ed and 
would like to have the talking tv for the blind, then later on, I'll 
purchase a piano for my house and since I already have a regular 
trumpet, wait to purchase the pocket Carol Brass trumpet the one I'm 
looking at is one that is the Dizzy Gillespie signature model with a 
different sized cup of mouthpiece to make it sound like a 
flugelhorn...then I'll make sure I save enough for the
Dancing Dots suite of products...all a long time coming though.

Teachers have a sacred task:
It is to give children the skills to understand the world and an expectation that the world is a trustworthy place; that it is full of light, and love, and music and that each student deserves--and will have--their own place in it and the chance to play their own song.
And, as much of these expectations are transmitted non-verbally—and in Chela’s case--out of sight…it is the voice and touch of a Teacher that sheds light on what the world can be.
Academics—and no one will ever change my mind on this—take a distant second place. —Former Orientation & Mobility Instructor Dr. Bil Hawkins
