-- a famous deaf person joins a famous show
The Chippendales is a popular entertainment-type
show featured in New York, Las Vegas and
Hollywood. It started in 1979 and has continued
strong whereas other entertainment shows have
closed up. Anyway, hot deaf celebrity Nyle
DiMarco will be joining the Chippendale cast
at Las Vegas. A big question - will this
show be interpreted? A picture is at:

-- another movie captioning lawsuit with a strange twist
Yet another movie captioning lawsuit - filed
against the Celebration!s Cinema in Benton Harbor,
in the southwestern part of Michigan. The
twist, strange however, is that the theater
owner said he was "waiting" for review by
the Department of Justice on "updated"
movie captioning standards! Government
moves very slow, and so, why didn't the
movie theater owner do his own research
to learn what standards other theaters
have on their movie captions?
-- a scary comment by a deaf owner of a house
A deaf man showed the police the bullet holes
near his house in Chattanooga, TN. There was
a shooting at a nearby house, but the bullets
flew everywhere. He explained that he could
not hear the firing and would not be able
to hide to protect himself. He did see the
flashing police lights with so many people
out on the street but no one came over to
him to explain what was going on. He has
lived in the house all by himself for over
10 years but is not close to his neighbors.
When this happens anywhere, then deaf
people are scared.
