[QUAD-L] America’s Affordable Health Choices Act
Here it is folks. Read 'em and weep H.R. 3590 is ‘‘America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009’’. H.R. 4872 is ‘‘Reconciliation Act of 2010’’ (3590 after ammendments) _http://docs.house.gov/rules/hr4872/111_hr4872_reported.pdf_ (http://docs.house.gov/rules/hr4872/111_hr4872_reported.pdf) “Mere longevity is a good thing for those who watch Life from the side lines. For those who play the game, an hour may be a year, a single day's work an achievement for eternity.” _Dave O'Connell_ (http://www.users.qwest.net/~daveoc/)
[QUAD-L] Simi Linton's Invitation to Dance
Details below from Simi: I am thrilled to announce that I have been nominated for an EPIC Emerging Artist Award via the White House Project. This recognition is for the forthcoming documentary Invitation to Dance, a film about disability and dance, produced and directed by Christian von Tippelskirch and myself. The film is a personal portrait of my life, and more broadly it is about disabled people's quest for equality, justice, and a place on the dance floor. This is a contest and we need your vote!!! Go to: http://www.thewhite http://www.thewhitehouseproject.org/epic/emerging_artist.php houseproject.org/epic/emerging_artist.php To view the clip, first click on the right arrow underneath the movie frame and scroll to Invitation to Dance. Select it, then click on the YouTube icon inside the frame to see a larger version. To vote, select Invitation to Dance then click the vote button. That's it. The top three finalists will attend a gala sponsored by Lifetime Television on April 7th where the winner will be announced. In order to have the strongest impact, please send this message out far and wide to all networks asking people to vote for us ASAP. The stakes are high. This is a great opportunity to bring attention to disabled people's ideas and artistry. We will be sending out more announcements about the film and outreach initiative in the future. metufferfilms@ mailto:metufferfilms%40gmail.com gmail.com is the best way to reach Christian or Simi. This is an exciting moment. Thanks so much for your support.

[QUAD-L] What functions do you miss the most?
I'm going to be speaking at a seminar in June. You can help me prepare by answering a question that can be asked two ways: What functions do you miss the most? What are the functions that you would most want to recover if you had the chance? Make a list of ten functions, in order if you can do it. Post it or send it to me privately at rich...@gallilaw.com. If there are a reasonable number of responses, I'll post the results on the list. Be specific. Not just use of my hands but the specific function(s) that use of your hands would allow you to do, such as play a musical instrument or tune your Ferrari. If you selected both of those, they would count as two choices and you would have eight left to choose. Please let me know your level of injury when you respond. Why am I asking this? Simply to show that folks who are paralyzed similarly are personally affected in different ways, some of which a non-paralyzed person might not expect. As I have said to people since my son became a C1-C2 in 1998: walking is overrated. -- Best wishes Richard Galli -
RE: [QUAD-L] Obama's New Health Care Plan
I don't think it will affect Medicare. If anything changes. It will unfortunately get rewritten, changed, canceled, soon. It should just be Medicare for all. You could opt out if wanted. The best and cheapest way I think. At least it makes them cover preexisting injuries. Though they mentioned For kids so I hope it covers adults too. I'd love to get secondary insurance to cover my 20% I just can't understand the hatred over this, most from those who it would help the most. The R's are just so good at scaring people out of their own best interest. The big scary government, death panels, killing old people, etc. Yesterday as congressmen were walking up the steps they got called Nig., got spit on, etc. One R yelled Baby killer as a D was on the floor speaking. I'm not happy how this Bill got put together or the Bill itself, but I never yelled these things. Nor did I yell them at Bush ( Though I might have in the privacy of my own home.)

Re: [QUAD-L] Voice remote controls
I am at my computer most of the time even to watch tv. I have a tv tuner cable box on my computer and use BeyondTV software to watch tv. I can easily change channels, record shows, pause rewind live tv. When I am recording something on my computer and want to watch another channel I use the sling player connected to the cable dvr in the tv room. The sling player has an on screen remote that I can click the button with the mouse. The sling player runs on my netbook so I could mute the volume and use it to control the cable dvr while watching the big screen hdtv. I guess if you can use voice control on a netbook or notebook to operate the sling player then you can call it a voice remote tv remote Jim Lubin jlu...@eskimo.com http://makoa.org/jim disAbility Resources: http://www.makoa.org
