Today I would like to share one of my favorite vlogs.
"Kalalau's Korner invites you to embark on your journey into Carl Schroeder's philosophy. Questioning and talking about ASL, short for American Sign Language, is my forte."
The best thing is the address: http://carl-schroeder.blogspot.com/2009/06/asl-and-deaf-questions-to-ponder.html I love people who ask questions to ponder.
I hope you do too.

OOps Link day
I was ill earlier this week and missed posting.. so here is the link I am posting for this week.
DO wander by "The interpreter's Friend" which has reopened as run by friends of David Bar-Tzur. It is hosted in his honor and to commemorate all the ways he has served our community over the years. http://theinterpretersfriend.org/
If you have any articles that used to be hosted at the interpreter's friend and do not see them currently, please notify the web masters. I am sure they would be pleased to repost them.
And my thanks to those who honor David in this way.

Idioms Thursday!
Wow touchy screen - it published before I typed anything!
I guess you can call that an "itchy trigger finger?"
(idiomatic) a tendency to act in haste or without consideration
Given any remote chance to gun down an effective spokesman for conservative economics as a secret fascist and torturer, even Nobel laureates can, we see, succumb to an itchy trigger finger.
The sign I prefer for this is in itself idiomatic - I don't know I have ever seen it on line. Forefingersclose to the face (like in "famous")then circling in alternating movements to palm in as the hands move away from the face. I'll try and get a video up when I sort out my website problems.
Anyway,I might also translate it as "without thinking".
If you find a video of the sign on line, let me know.
Thanks!

Links Tuesday!
Today I would like to highlight "Ear of my Heart". The host of this site is LaRonda Zupp from Northern California.
Let me let her tell you:
The title of my blog comes from the opening verse of St. Benedict’s prologue, which tells us to ‘listen carefully and attend with the ear of our hearts.’ St. Benedict was a saint who urged us to listen within the depths of our soul, keeping ourselves attentive to wisdom that comes from the voice within, and inclining our hearts toward deeper understanding.
My blog title is not about “ears” or “hearing” or being able to “hear clearly,” the way hearing people can hear sound. It is about listening with PURE LOVING ATTENTION to what people are really communicating. This is what it means to me to listen and blog with ‘the ear of my heart.’
I hope you stop by. She has a lot worth listening to.

Friday
A Little Deaf History.
But first, here is the acknowledgment that this week marked the passing of three entertainment icons: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. May their families have peace in their losses.
Now for a peace of Deaf History:
Juan Pablo Bonet worked for the High Constable fo Castille. The High Constable's brother was deaf, leading Bonet to develop a system of visible signs, including a manual alphabet.

Idioms Thursday
When my schedule goes through constant changes I find having a little structure helps me out. So, in this summer of adjustments, I have decided I will try:
Links Tuesday
Idioms Thursday and
History Friday.
I hope you enjoy.
Now, onto today's idiom (or idioms. Sometimes there are several that are relate you know).
The Whole Shebang (informal)
the whole of something, including everything that is connected with it.
The party's next week but my parents are organizing the whole shebang.
Whole Shebang (spoken)
all of something, including everything connected with it.
The Whole Nine Yards
We've got offices all over the world, and we're tying the whole shebang together with a high-speed computer network.
I would sign these "Include" with emphasis showing the enormity of "all".

Links Monday on Tuesday
It was one of those days yesterday - and looks like mondays may be like that for a few weeks - so Links Monday is going to move to Tuesday. It makes my life easier and I am sure you lot won't mind. Wednesdays will look a lot like Mondays, so expect this blog on ly about 3 days a week for the rest of the summer.
Anyway, today's link that I think everyone should wander by is OIC Movies. If you are not a member, you should be. There are public service announcements, news from around the world, How-to videos, money tips, health tips, money and technology and of course my favorites - entertainment videos.
It is a great site for deaf and interpreters alike and I hope you consider supporting them.
Have a great week!
