[stylist] New Blog from me started today

[cheryl echevarria]

Good morning all:
For those that already know, I have a blog for Echevarriatravel.com it is everything to do with Travel as well as postings for announcement for NFB related issues and more.  Today, I started a new one more personal, It is called Cheryl's Day to Day Weight Loss and Lifestyle Change.  I need to lose weight and when you do this, your lifestyle also changes.
Gained to much weight lately, and working from home doesn't help at all.  So maybe you might want to join or just follow along, also if you have not joined either one of the blogs I have you can certainly subscribe to them, they are accessible, and you can have them come to your inbox when I post something new in either one of them. 
The Echevarria Travel Blog is in my signature and the new one that just started today here is the link for that one.

> Subject: [stylist] Vejas, question about youth writing contest
> 
> Vejas and/or other youth on this list:
> 
> Gee dude! I'm hoping to see one of your story's come in to our 2012 writing
> contest for youth. And recall, our youth contest requires both a Braille
> hard-copy (hand embossed, like with a Perkins or by slate, no use of an
> embosser), and as a word document attached to an email.
> 
> Our youth contest is all about promoting Braille literacy, and so the
> hard-copy requirement. We want to see the quality of Braille that a person
> can produce (meaning, we are encouraging quality of Braille knowledge and
> use). And here is a thought as I am writing this to you --- Tell me the
> strait of it --- it appears that once a young blind guy gets proficient with
> the code, in reading and writing Braille, and once the person gets a
> notetaker with a Braille display, they no longer are interested in
> hand-"brailing out a longish document? (In part, I'm asking because we are
> not getting many entries from who we think are "the more experienced Braille
> users." Most entries are coming from the elementary age group, in general
> from kids who are learning the Braille code. (Yeah, we see some high school
> kids who are just now learning Braille, or are saying they know it.) 
> 
> [We may need to open up a section of the youth contest to those who wish to
> submit electronic entries, just like the adults are required to do (no
> hard-copy print is accepted). After all, we do want to encourage our blind
> youth to write!]
