Advocates for deaf charge censorship in closed captioning

Found another information on disapproving/approving the programs for closed-captioning fundings. It is now in two different newspapers - one from Palm Beach (posted here on 12-February) and another one from Chicago. I am on vacation....and checked the email this morning. I decided that I must make time to publish this...but didn't have time to research further to learn more...It may be true that the Bush administration is moving forward on taking action to make it REALITY....More details as time permits (probably when I am done with vacation).

Censor 'Scooby-Doo'? Words fail

Huh? Are we going into Tablianesque or purtian period in our own "backyard"? I really don't believe that our government would pull out the rug under us, but I gotta find out if it is even TRUE. If so, we ought raise hell against that proposal.....we don't want go back to "dark age" ever...even for our children.

My Online Status

Books I Read

Catherine Cate Coblentz: The Blue Cat of Castle Town
15-October-2009 The blue cat who is born under the blue moon learns on his journey of finding and teaching the mortals of the town named Castle Town in Vermont the song of the river. The theme of the song is beauty and peace and content. The town was beginning to engulf under the terrible spell of an individual who believes in the power of the money and haste. (*****)
Emily Cheney Neville: It's Like This, Cat
10-October-2009 I discovered this book via the feature: "The Celebration of Female Writers"....I enjoyed reading this book. It was easy and quick reading. It was about the teen boy living in Manhattan in 1960's and how his cat changes his life once he brought him home. Recommended for anyone who likes cat and easy and quick reading. (****)
David Richo: How to Be an Adult in Relationships: The Five Keys to Mindful Loving
7-October-2009 I finally got a courage to read this book. It took me long while to read from cover to cover at slow pace - had to think/analyze about what I read from time to time. It helped me in many ways that I couldn't imagine that would take place at all. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand better about ourselves with open-mindness. The journey of work we need to do for ourselves may surprise any of us one way or other... (*****)
Waki Yamato: The Tale of Genji: 4 (Kodansha bilingual comics) (Japanese Edition)
15-September-2009 I bought this book in Tokyo, Japan. I read it in two days and liked it. However, I am a bit puzzled with the end or perhaps opening end of the story. I guess there is a difference between manga and novel. Recommended for anyone who likes manga and strangely good romantic story. (****)
Toru Sato: The Ever-Transcending Spirit: The Psychology of Human Relationships, Consciousness, and Development
5-December-2008 I bought this book last year and I finally found my courage and time to read this book at this time of the year. This book not only struck my inner chords, made me look back to my behaviors, thoughts and feelings since I became existed here on this planet. Wow....this book requires you to be open-minded, willingness to look within yourself and your relationship with yourself and others. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand better of her/himself and her/his relationship with human beings and nature. (*****)
Timothy Freke: The Jesus Mysteries: Was the "Original Jesus" a Pagan God?
21-November-2008 Libby encouraged me to read this book, so I did at last 2 years later. It was a truly awakening call for me, both spiritually and personally. It re-affirmed my beliefs, thoughts and feelings since I first questioned the establishment of Christianity and other religions. If you have an open mind and want to get the in-depth details of history of Christianity and Paganism, then this book is one for you to read. Highly recommended for anyone who seeks the truth of purpose behind Christianity and Paganism. (*****)
26-October-2008: Boston and the American Revolution: Boston National Historical Park, Massachusetts (National Park Service Handbook)
I bought this book from Boston National Historic Park while I was visiting Boston this past May. This book explained the timeline of Boston and the American Revolution from 1650's thru 1780's. I enjoyed learning new things from this book such as how Bostonians didn't forecast that they would go their separate way from their mother country, England, until they were slammed with taxes without representatives in Parliament. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates American History. (*****)
Lisa Tuttle: The Mysteries
20-October-2008 Libby lent me this book and said that I should read this book. So did I. I really enjoyed reading this book as it gave some background information on Celtic, Irish and Scottish stories among fairy stories. When someone vanishes without a trace, people would say that the fairies may be responsible for that. Hence, the book came with title, "The Mysteries", based on a character, a young woman, who disappeared from her mother for 2 years. Her mother hired a private investigator to locate her daughter. The plot was good. Recommended for anyone who enjoys fairy, Irish, Scottish and Celtic stories. (*****)
Kathy Reichs: Deja Dead
26-September-2008 - Gosh, this book really kept me glued after reading half-way. It involved a character named Dr. Temperance Brennan, forensic anthropologist, who detects a pattern of killer's work with dead women over a few years in Montreal. She tries to figure out the killer's next move and with that, she put herself into the corner....in the hands of killer. Such a suspenseful book to read. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys grisly and forensic science plot. (*****)
Trisha Meili: I Am the Central Park Jogger : A Story of Hope and Possibility
21-August-08 - I attended to forum where Trisha gave a presentation at my company. I met her and she was truly an amazing person to chat with. I finally got around to read her book. I learned so much about her and her personal struggles and accomplishment with her disability. It was a good reading for anyone who wants to understand how she went through the episodes - violence, hospitalization, rehabitation, work and life, relationship and court. Even though her body was "violated", her spirit didn't leave her....she was determined person to get through and get better. She came to terms of accepting herself as a new person, not same person as she was before. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to know more about "The Central Park Jogger" and head trauma injury.
