hello Alecia,
I am too new to this system, but unlike you, I am Deaf.
I feel that if you really enjoy learning the language and like working with
Deaf people, then why not go ahead and pursue your dreams.
`
I think it is important to realize that sincerity in your interest
in the Deaf Culture is greatly appreciated.  As for the possible
use of a signing librarian would also be a big help!

My reasoning is that many deaf people do not like books and libraries because
they do not understand them.  So, when an individual like yourself presents
the information in a language that is easily understood, it greatly facilates
the interest and learning process.

Good luck and let me know what you decided.

Ms P:

For years before VCRs came along (this sure dates me!) we were watching
captioned 16mm versions of popular films provided by Captioned Films
for the Deaf.  Now they are into videos.  The agency was established
by an act of Congress and is funded, I believe, under the Dept of
Education.  Your financial contribution is due April 15.

"That" is the copy of the script I have on-line.  It was done by a hearing
person who was "in a fit of boredom".  I'm not sure how accurate it is, and
I know there are some lines that we couldn't understand the words.  I
offered ot send it to anyone who wanted it (it's 118 blocks, BTW, for
anyone who needs to know that).

Take care,
Keith

As a current librarian, I can assure you that if you are interested
in working in a public library, your skills will be in demand. I do
not think that an academic library has quite as much call for ASLers,
saving those institutions that serve a population with a high
percentage of Deaf.  (NTID and Galluadet are two... but you might
consider working in a lower level school system which serves the
Deaf.

ASL qualifies as a second language. People with extra languages are
wanted. Don't let the naysayers get you down...

I have no information about how much demand there is for librarians with
knowledge of ASL, but it seems to me that knowledge of the language will
be as useful to you as you make it.  Even if you don't find a job that
calls for ASL directly as a skill, I don't see how it can be a handicap in
getting a job and who know what'll happen in the future.  If you enjoy
learning and using it, how can you lose?

Ultratec and Krown make TTYs that connect directly into the
telephone jacks...

They are great because they also have capacity to be an
answering machine.  You have your own TTY/Answering Machine
plugged directly into the wall...The only disadvantage is if
you have hearing friends over, they can't use ur phone unless from
the wall you have a split adapter or whatchmacalit in which you
can plug the phone into one and the tty into the other...

Or if you make a phone call to someone who has hearing people
in the house who arent familiar with TTYs or to work place where
you have to be connected to the person with the TTY and the other
people arent familiar with it... having the phone there beside the
TTY is helpful so you can say, "please put it on the TTY" or "I want
so-and so.."  Otherwise...plug the TTY into the wall and just
depend on the relay service to take care of those things...

Michael--Actually the credits of Scent of a Woman do mention the Italian
film though if I recall correctly they used the term "inspired by" which
suggests that the Pacino film is not a strict scene for scene remake
from foreign to English version.  Someone can jump in if they have further
clarification.

In that regard, I'll be curious to see the new Richard Gere/Jodie Foster film
to see how closely it uses The Return of Martin Guerre.  When I saw its
trailer in a theater, I recognized its cinematic predecessor right away.

Subject:      JAMES DEAN LESERDISC COLLECTION

Hello Everone,

Just wonderin if anyone knows where I might be able to get a copy of
a limited edition James Dean Laserdisc set that contained East of Eden,
Rebel Without a Cause, and  Giant along with some other junk. I saw this
particular box set in a Tower Records in Austin, TX. I have been unable
to find it here in my own hometown and have recently found out that it
was a limited edition item so it's probably out of production. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. I'd also like to add something to the
discussion of remakes.  I do agree with some of you that most remakes
are total trash which simply try to cash in on the popularity of the
original. There have been ,however, some remakes which I thoroughly
enjoyed because they weren't simply sugar-coated carbon copies of the
original. Rather, they expanded on the characters and their possible
motivations. A classic example of this was Scorsese's Cape Fear. So it
is possible, in my humble opinion, to create a remake that not only
does justice to the original but even surpasses it.
That's about all I have to say now.     LATER.

Subject:      Yet More Boneheads

On the boneheads track,
   When he was just a pup, young Arnold put down a plan for himself that
basically went something like:  get huge, be a movie star, & marry a
glamorous & intelligent woman.  Well, against all odds, the guy did it.
That takes a certain level of dedication, planning, & brains which not many
people match.  How many actors seem to be off to decent starts, choose
1 too many bad movies, & find themselves confined to the discount rack of the
video store?  Arnold chose the right vehicles & turned himself into a hugely
popular figure.  For that matter, Maria Shriver, from what I've heard of her,
is no dolt - I doubt she would opt to spend the rest of her life with a
sputtering idiot, no matter how much money he makes (like money's a concern
of hers, anyway).
   As for the political jibes, well, I don't think it's right for me to express
my political views, one way or the other, on government time through a govern-
ment machine.

Jim,

You're a great help on The Red Shoes question. But all you need do when you
go to Crane's, is check on its availability.  I'm going to call them Friday
or Saturday to place an order any

 3. Il ladro di bambini
 4. The Player
 5. Urga
 6. Night on Earth

Subject:      Unforgiven

Let me be the first with a rushed defense of Unforgiven:

        Unforgiven is an astonishing film because it succeeds in delivering
all the elements of a classic western while questioning the foundations upon
which the notion of the classic western is based.  This is the most human of
Clint's westerns because, as with us other humans, no one is a clear cut char-
acter.  They all have their strong and weak points, and everyone is just doing
as he can to get by.  Even Morgan Freeman's character, who struck me as the
noblest, cheats on his wife before the movie's over.
        The photography in the picture is excellent, with nifty juxtapositions
between the "cinematic" scenes with sweeping setup shots and point of view
images such as the empty whiskey bottle hitting the ground as Clint rides into
town for revenge (not justice).
        Gotta cut it short.  Have work to do.
