-- an interpreter shows a lot of facial expressions for a reason
In San Francisco, a popular entertainment site is
Outside Lands where the audience is treated to
cooking shows that are mixed with music at
GastroMagic. Anyway a recent demonstration of how
the pigs are butchered and dressed up for cooking
caused the interpreter to show a lot of facial
expesssions while interpreting. Apparently she
wasn't enjoying the program while trying professionally
to interpret for the deaf!

-- deaf swimmer crosses the English Channel
It was mentioned few days ago that a deaf woman
tried to swim across Lake Ontario and failed.
Here is a swimming success story - Wesley Nolan,
a deaf man from Ireland, successfully swam
across the English Channel. He is not the first
deaf person to do so - the first one was
Gertrude Ederle in 1926.
