Bible | Blind Blind beggars are frequently mentioned (Matt. 9:27; 12:22; 20:30; John 5:3). The blind are to be treated with compassion (Lev. 19:14; Deut. 27:18). Blindness was sometimes a punishment for disobedience (1 Sam. 11:2; Jer. 39:7), sometimes the effect of old age (Gen. 27:1; 1 Kings 14:4; 1 Sam. 4:15). Conquerors sometimes blinded their captives (2 Kings 25:7; 1 Sam. 11:2). Blindness denotes ignorance as to spiritual things (Isa. 6:10; 42:18, 19; Matt. 15:14; Eph. 4:18). The opening of the eyes of the blind is peculiar to the Messiah (Isa. 29:18). Elymas was smitten with blindness at Paul's word (Acts 13:11). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |

Literature | Blind That's a mere blind. A pretence; something ostensible to conceal a covert design. The metaphor is from window-blinds, which prevent outsiders from seeing into a room. Blind as a bat. A bat is not blind, but when it enters a room well lighted, it cannot see, and blunders about. It sees best, like a cat, in the dusk. (See Similes.) Blind as a beetle. Beetles are not blind, but the dor-beetle or hedge-chafer, in its rapid flight, will occasionally bump against one as if it could not see. Blind as a mole. Moles are not blind, but as they work underground, their eyes are very small. There is a mole found in the south of Europe, the eyes of which are covered by membranes, and probably this is the animal to which Aristotle refers when he says, "the mole is blind." (See Similes.) Blind as an owl. Owls are not blind, but being night birds, they see better in partial darkness than in the full light of day. (See Similes.) You came on his blind side. His soft or tender-hearted side. Said of persons who wheedle some favour out of another. He yielded because he was not wide awake to his own interest. "Lincoln wrote to the same friend that the nomination that the democrats on the blind side."- Nicolay and Hay: Abraham Lincoln, vol. i. chap. xv. p. 275. Blind leaders of the blind. The allusion is to sect of the Pharisees, who were wont to shut their eyes when they walked abroad, and often ran their heads against a wall or fell into a ditch. (Matt xv. 14.).

The term is more appropriate for a deposit that terminates below the surface than for one that is simply hidden by unconsolidated surficial debris.Syn:blind vein. (references) |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In poker, a blind or blind bet is a forced bet placed into the pot by one or more players before the deal begins, in a way that simulates bets made during play.For example, the first player to the dealer's left (who would normally be the first to bet after the cards are dealt) makes a blind bet of $1, and the next player in turn posts a big blind of $2. After the cards are dealt, play continues with the next player in turn (third from the dealer), who acts just as if the $1 had been an Openinging bet and the $2 had been a Raise, so he must either call $2, reraise, or fold. When the betting returns to the player who blinded $1, he acts just as if that had been the opening bet; he must equal the bet facing him (toward which he may count his $1), fold, or reraise.
An additional privilege is given to the player who posted the big blind to compensate for the fact that he is forced to bet. If there have been no raises by the time his first turn to bet voluntarily comes (that is, the bet amount facing him is just the $2 he originally put in), then he is given the right to raise at that point, even though his right-hand opponent's call would normally have closed the betting round under other circumstances. This "extra" right to raise (called a live blind) occurs only once: if his raise is now called by every player, the first betting round closes as usual.
For example, suppose there are only three players in a deal. The player to the dealer's left blinds $1, and the next player blinds $2. After the cards are dealt, the next player in turn (who is the dealer in this case) calls the $2. Now it is the turn of the player who posted only $1, and he adds an additional $1 to bring his bet up to $2. Now everyone has paid $2, and the round would be over if the big blind had been a voluntary bet, but because it was a forced bet, it is "live" and the player may now raise. He can also check his option, indicating that he does not wish to raise, and thereby end the betting round. He chooses to raise to $4. Now the dealer calls, and the player after him calls. Now everyone has bet $4 and the round is over. The player in the blind does not have the right to raise this time.
The most common use of blinds as a betting structure calls for two blinds: the player after the dealer blinds about half of what would be a normal bet, and the next player blinds what would be a whole bet. Sometimes only one blind is used, and sometimes three. In the case of three blinds (usually one quarter, one quater, and half a normal bet amount), the first blind goes "on the button", that is, is paid by the dealer.
In some Fixed limit and Spread limit games the big blind amount is less than the normal betting minimum. Players acting after a sub-minimum blind have to the right to call the blind as it is, even though it is less than the amount they would be required to bet, or they may raise the amount needed to bring the current bet up to the normal minimum, called completing the bet. For example, a game with a $5 fixed bet on the first round might have blinds of $1 and $2. Players acting after the blind may either call the $2, or raise to $5. After the bet is raised to $5, the next raise must be to $10 in accordance with the normal limits.
The term blind is also used to describe actions taken during play before seeing cards that one would normally be entitled to see before acting. For example, the first player to act after the draw in a draw poker game may "check blind" before looking at his replacement cards. One can also bet blind, call blind, and so on. It is common to announce that one is doing this, to influence your opponents' actions: I bet $5 in the dark, or I'll check while I look.

In Sheepshead, the blind are the cards that are face down on the table. No one knows what is in the blind until it is picked up.Once a player picks the blind, that person becomes "The Picker".
If you are playing a leaster, the blind often will go to the person taking the last trick.
Hoyle refers to the blind as the "widow", but most Sheepshead players will laugh at you if you call it that.

Any stud poker game can be played blind by having all cards dealt face down. This was a common practice in California cardrooms until 1995. The California gambling law makes specific games named by the law illegal, including twenty-one, faro, fantan, and "stud-horse poker". Until 1995, the California attorney general's office interpreted this to mean that draw poker was legal and all forms of stud poker were not, so California cardrooms played exclusively draw poker (mostly lowball). Because of this, blind stud was considered a form of draw--like draw, all cards are hidden. Unlike draw, players do not discard cards they intend to replace. In 1995, cardroom owners convinced the state that "stud-horse poker" was an obsolete house-banked game, and that all forms of modern poker were legal. Today, the most popular game in the state is Texas hold'em.Not constrained by obscure California law, home games generally do not play blind stud, though some of the games are challenging and well-balanced, including some of those previously offered by California cardrooms. Some of them got very creative with blind stud games, so they could offer players some variety. For example, a club in the Sacramento suburbs used to offer a seven-card high-low split blind stud game which was played 3-2-1-1 (four rounds; three cards dealt on the first, two on the second, then one and one), with two jokers in the deck acting as bugs, and with the double-ace flush rule.

Blindness is the condition of lacking the sense of sight. There is a distinction between being totally blind and legally blind; the category of the legally blind includes many people with some degree of vision, even if only sufficient to distinguish light and dark. Blind people themselves refer to those with the sense of sight as "sighted". Other people included in discussions of and services for the blind are:
- The Partially-Sighted
- People with Low Vision
- The Visually Impaired
- The Color Blind
Causes of blindness
The most common treatable causes of blindness in the world today are cataracts followed by trachoma (caused by chlamydia trachomatis) and onchocerciasis (river blindness). Prior to the disease's eradication, corneal scarring caused by smallpox had been one of the commonest causes of blindness. Other common causes of blindness include Vitamin A deficiency, other childhood diseases and congenital problems.

John Locke | 1690 | And to let us see, that even absolute power, where it is necessary, is not arbitrary by being absolute, but is still limited by that reason, and confined to those ends, which required it in some cases to be absolute, we need look no farther than the common practice of martial discipline: for the preservation of the army, and in it of the whole common-wealth, requires an absolute obedience to the command of every superior officer, and it is justly death to disobey or dispute the most dangerous or unreasonable of them; but yet we see, that neither the serjeant, that could command a soldier to march up to the mouth of a cannon, or stand in a breach, where he is almost sure to perish, can command that soldier to give him one penny of his money; nor the general, that can condemn him to death for deserting his post, or for not obeying the most desperate orders, can yet, with all his absolute power of life and death, dispose of one farthing of that soldier's estate, or seize one jot of his goods; whom yet he can command any thing, and hang for the least disobedience; because such a blind obedience is necessary to that end, for which the commander has his power, viz.

Being a blind faith, it is inaccessible to the light of disproof -- an intellectual disorder, yielding to no treatment but death. It is hereditary, but fortunately not contagious. |
