The word actually originates from the first two letters in the Hebrew alphabet, Aleph and Bet. However, some believe that word “alphabet’ came into Middle English from the Late Latin word Alphabetum, which in turn originated in the Ancient Greek Αλφάβητος Alphabetos, from alpha and beta, the first two letters of the Greek alphabet.[1] Alpha and beta in turn came from the first two letters of the Phoenician alphabet, and meant ox and house respectively. There are dozens of alphabets in use today. Most of them are composed of lines (linear writing); notable exceptions are Braille, fingerspelling, and Morse code.

How many guys who buy Playboy read the articles?

March 2, 2010 - 8:05 pm 15 Comments

A lot of guys who buy Playboy like to say that they read the articles. Playboy even sells shirts with this phrase.

"I Read the Articles."

It’s sort of a joke, but Playboy tries to write articles that sound good in and of themselves, making it at least ‘possible’ that some people really would only buy the magazine for it’s articles. Well, a while back, Playboy offered a brail edition of their magazine for blind people, but after a few years, they discontinued it. So, in doing to, they short-changed the only people who REALLY DID just want to read the articles. LOL! This story is funny, but true.

Kind of hard to read when the pages stick together ; )

Want to get a meaningful tattoo but dont know what to use to symbolize it?

February 28, 2010 - 9:19 pm 10 Comments

Im at a point in my life that I realized I need to make some big changes in my attitude or I’ll end up somewhere I dont want to be. Basically start doing the right thing not the easy thing, admit when im wrong, treat the people I love alot better..sort of just be a better all around person. I want to get a tattoo that means something like self improvement but dont know what to use…. I kind of like the idea of chinese symbols or brail or even arabic writing but dont know what word or phrase to use. Or if someone can think of something else to symbolize self improvement that would be great too!
thanks guys

braile would be cool i havent seen many people with braile tats. chinese symbols are WAYYYY overdone.

braille

February 27, 2010 - 2:36 pm No Comments

a song i wrote for my sighted wife

lyrics:

braille is just a bunch of dots
no curves, no beauty
like a piece of paper
with a really bad case of acne
you and me, love
we’ll come up with our own alphabet
one you can read by sight
and i can read by touch
just between us
a secret code
we can use to write love letters
like a soldier long gone finally writing home
a way i can tell you i love you
unlimited by space and time
with curves and beauty
that i can feel and you can see.

This is second part. Could you please check this for grammatical errors? Thank you!

"National/local laws
It is extremely important to recognize that each business has a number of legal obligations. For example there is a number of insurances.
Some of these insurances are compulsory for businesses like for example motor insurance if you run a company vehicle, while other insurance are optional like building insurance or keyman insurance.

To run my business I will need the employer’s liability insurance which is required of all employers. It will generally protect me against the costs of compensating employee who is injured in the work place.

Legal responsibilities
Careful attention needs to be paid to businesses’ staff and their rights. There are many laws affecting health and safety at work, paying and equal opportunities.

Health and safety
Stringent rules are set out to ensure that businesses do all they can to protect their workers. The main legislation in Britain is the Health and safety at Work Act. This set out the minimum standards which employers must maintain the working environment and workplace. This include:
• Businesses must provide all necessary safety equipment and clothing
• Making sue that workers have regularly brakes to test
• Employers must provide a safety working environment
• All businesses must have a written safety policy on display
• All businesses must keep temperatures comfortable

To prevent accidents in the work place and protect the work environment I must make sure that my own business meets all legal issues specially health and safety at work regulations and food hygiene legislation. I also need to provide adequate washroom and toilet facilities and create a hygienic and safety environment to work in.

Contract of employment
Anyone employed in the business within two months of starting work must received a contract of employment that clearly sets out their conditions and service such as duties, hours of work, job title and description, holiday pay, sick pay agreement, the amount of pay and how often payments will be made etc. Each contract of employment must include the name of employer and employee and clearly shows all duties and responsibilities.

Thinking about my own business I must guarantee a contract of employment for each employee within two months should have a contract of employment that clearly sets out all conditions, duties and responsibilities. According to HM Revenue & Customs each employee within my business must be paid at least:
- £5.73 per hour for workers aged 22 years and older
- £4.77 per hour for workers aged 18-21
- £3.53 per hour for all workers under the age of 18

Discrimination
Equal Pay Act 1970 – this Act states that I must treated equally both sexes. A woman employed in the same job as a man must have the same pay and conditions.

Disability Discrimination Act 1995 –this Act states that it is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against a disabled person by refusing to provide any services.

The Race Relations Act 1976 states that it is unlawful for an employer to treat or fail to prevent the treatment of workers less favourably because of their colour, race, nationality or ethnic or national origins.

As an owner of the business I must make sure I meet all of these requirements listed above. I should also remember that part-time workers must also be given same rights and contortions as full-time workers.
The meet The Disability Discrimination Act my business must offer toilets for disabled people, menu in “Brail language” for the benefit of the blind people and each service provided by my business must be equally available for disable people."

Is there someone who can help me. Pleaseeeeeeeeeee
I hope it is right. sassy lass i love you!

This is second part. Could you please check this for grammatical errors? Thank you!

Untitled, For Now Original Track

Chorusxx
Cuz I got my lips on my last cigarette/
And I can’t recall the last time I took an honest breath/
Now I’m on a road to a place that I used to used to know/
I don’t come here much anymore but it feels like a lot like home/
These days they come and go so fast and I’m all alone/
And I cling on to everything around me to feel anything at all/
I can’t tell if I’m in tune in truth with the way I feel/
So I wrote this song to see if I’m in love or in love with the idea/

I’m an a gentlemen, smooth with the penmenship/
creative as newborn except with the sentences/
Could never see myself in a white collar environment/
Don’t got a job yet I think about retirement/
Funny how old habits become new ones/
And you become a person god only knows who wants/
Shit I’m only 18 but I live a lot older/
if you’re hungry get to know me I got chips up on my shoulder/
I’m unhealthy but obsessed with my well being/
Given a gift ill never live to be rich/
But ill stomp on these tracks till my feet go numb/
I’d rather die than live life to the beat of your drum/
chill with the dudes and the bros/
and the goons and the hoes/
and the gangsters and a preps/
And hang with all the rest/
I’m complex and i said that I thought id never make it/
but the lost beat the odds and find their way to being famous/
Addictive personality or this filter don’t filter too much/
Until I’m famous all I needs a few bucks cuz/

I got a short fuse though I’m very understanding/
And ill verbally abuse you till I’m getting reprimanded/
Let’s go stand up on a hill side we’ll ride til I feel high/
And you can find me jottin down ill rhymes/
To kill time as long as you stick by my side/
can’t feel me? than ill start writing braille lines/
And I love a few of you no need to say who you are/
That I’d listen to for days to cure the pain in your heart/
But yall act like you don’t give a all the sudden/
And theres blood on my back from the knife stuck in it/
Now yall are dead to me these thoughts are behind me/
But the stained thread and seams always remind me/
And you’re periodic texts don’t pass as a redeemer/
But I’m on my way to college and the grass is always greener/
And I mean this when I say it save your pity if youre one/
now I am done let my lifes smoke into your lungs cuz
