I had several friends with Sidekicks that had to notify everyone on their mailing list of their new @tmail.com address due to spam.

A Sidekick owner got fed up with this spam problem and did something about it - he wrote a simple free program:

T-Mobile Email Spam Cleaner

This simple Windows utility pulls mail from your My T-Mobile webmail
account, filters it based on blacklist and whitelist rules, then
forwards the good stuff along to your Sidekick. The program never
deletes anything, but merely moves spam to the Trash folder where you
can review it for false positives.

Hamodia Magazine is the only Jewish Orthodox daily newspaper covering a wide range of topics of interest to the Jewish Community. Hamodia does NOT have an Internet Edition.

Hamodia recently printed an article about the Orthodox Jewish Deaf  Community. Jewish Deaf Community Center was gracious to host a scanned copy in .pdf on their website.

Hearing: Their Silent World

Finally someone spoke up about a deaf person perspective toward muslim women wearing the veil that blocks facial expression:

Sir, I am surprised to have noticed that nobody has raised the issues of communication with the 9 million people living in Britain are Deaf or Hard of hearing. I am profoundly Deaf and use British Sign Language to communication. A Vital aspect of sign language is facial expression which is clearly not visible by a person wearing a veil. I am aware Jack Straw has a hearing loss which may be the precise reason he requires the veil to be removed as he would be unable to lip read.

This is making the rounds in the money-making blogs so thought I’d pass it along here.

If you remember AllAdvantage, you installed a surfbar and let it run and you get paid while surfing.

It crashed along with the Internet Bubble.

Now the same players have set it up again and hopefully learned what went wrong the first time around.

Right now, the only thing you can do is sign up until the viewbar is released from beta-testing.

I did AllAdvantage and got paid, so I’m going to give this easy money a whirl.

This issue will not disappear. Only a matter of finding just one sympathic city that will allow Muslim taxi drivers to ban assistance dogs. And if one city allows, then it goes to follow that other cities will have to deal with this issue as well.

This is now a “human rights” issue in Vancouver B.C. in Canada:

Tribunal to rule on guide dog vs. religion

A case potentially pitting rights of the disabled against religious beliefs will be heard by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal after a blind man from the North Shore who uses a guide dog to get around launched a complaint against North Shore Taxi.

Bruce Gilmour filed the complaint after a cab driver from North Shore Taxi refused to let his guide dog into the cab in January of this year. Gilmour, who says it’s not the first time he’s been refused service by a taxicab, is complaining that North Shore taxi discriminated against him on the basis of physical disability.

But the taxi driver, Behzad Saidy, is arguing his Muslim religious beliefs will not allow him to take dogs in his taxi, because Muslims can’t associate with dogs.

This issue can also affect deaf individuals with hearing dogs. Stand up for your rights!

Like I said before, if you can’t accept all passengers, you are perfectly free to find another line of employment.
