Just want to express my own opinions and thoughts to support and give more feed backs by helping other Deaf vloggers to create their own express on their own video clips. Let us keep on saving ASL education for Family Values forever! Sorry I cannot make this transcript because I am not in the mood and need to get some more sleeping hours before go work and will be busy this weekend.
Oh one more thing before I forgot to let you know that I got email from NAD last Tuseday, October 23, 2007 about 2pm to response back my video comment on this link: http://blogs.nad.org/advocacy/?p=47 Her reply on down below was:
Hi Shawn,
Thanks for submitting your comment about NAD Takes Action for Deaf Babies. We are developing more material for the EHDI section of the web site, and we hope to do more vlogs in the future. I agree with you that state EHDI panels need to be more open to ASL. I hope to post some information about deaf community representation on EHDI panels soon.
Thanks again.

This October 27th, 2007 will be 30th Anniversary to honor the First Black American MSD's 1977 Fall Homecoming Queen! We, the hearing and Deaf Federal workers will ALWAYS miss her and her hearing mom and her hearing sweet CODA daughter! God bless her ASL soul and her family!
I want to thank my manager and supervisor who gave up allowing me to get this weekend off from my work to honor my very good friend by going to MSD's Football Fall Homecoming game playing against Ohio School for the Deaf. Deep sighs, I will be working straight 9 days with no day off from work. I will be DEAD TIRED from working too many hours! Have a very good week!!!
I feel that Ricky Taylor from http://www.ridorlive.com/ should have get a job as a Chief of WAPO as soon as possible because I strongly know that Ricky protect the DBC. WAPO did their poor job by spreading out the media news to destroy the DBC..
Don't bother me by begging me to have my video subtitled because I have a RIGHT to POSTPONE until I retire from my oppressive federal work floor everyday. Perhaps I will work on subtitling when I become 80 years old after I recover or get healing from the oppressors on this earth!
Thanks for your time watching my videos! Hope you will have a very blessing day in this OPPRESSIVE hearing world!!!
ASL Respectfully Yours, Shawn
For my video response on 6 comments from down on below:
WAPO is more POWERFUL media news for all over the world than our local home media news. That's why we need Ricky to help WAPO to get President Bush more attention to protect his first dog from a terrorist, Jenny Botero who did harmed an innocent DBC Child, Brianna! So the WAPO should report on the popular media news so we the local will be more aware than the regular local media news from DC Examiner! That's my opinion. I better get ready go work. Have a very good day! Shawn
I did took advise from my vidoe tube fans comments to force myself to work on this Subtitle video from my 4 months ago video clip with no subtile on this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZdX68QmorA
About time that I am done with my subtitling from Overstream but I do NOT know how to download that subtitling and then feed on video tube with subtitling?? Huh???
Bye, have a very good day. I need to get some rest before go to work. Peace and hugs, Shawn

However, reaching survivors is a challenging task - which is why your help would be extremely appreciated!

Shawn's short note: (That is disgusting and confusing example of why do they want to use the wolves' ASL PAWS??? It made me so SICK and CONFUSE from reading on down below that someone who did sent email to me this morning!)
It's simply outrageous. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has signed off on a $400,000 state-funded propaganda campaign to justify the state's barbaric wolf slaughter from the skies. Why? Because Governor Palin and her political cronies in the state legislature are afraid that Alaskans will vote - once again - to end the brutal, unfair and unnecessary aerial gunning program. Urge Governor Palin to stop the lies and end aerial gunning of wolves! Alaska is truly our nation's last frontier. It is also the last place in the U.S. where a few hunters still use aircraft to chase and kill wolves. They shoot these animals from the air or chase them to exhaustion before landing and shooting them point blank. Our partners at Defenders of Wildlife have made tremendous progress in Alaska recently - with the help of citizens like you, they stopped Alaska's grisly bounty proposal for wolf paws and blocked Governor Palin's plan to allow the use of helicopters to kill hundreds of wolves. Now we need to counter Alaska's misinformation campaign. Please sign our petition today and urge Governor Palin to stop allowing trophy hunters to gun down Alaska's wolves. Thank you for all that you do to protect wolves, Rebecca YoungCare2 and ThePetitionSite Team
Is that how some of us former Deaf catholic and non catholic students as "GUINEA PIGS" as some of the Catholic nuns took advantage of the Bible under Mark 7: 1-31 while abusing some of us did tried and struggled learning how to ENJOY read and write for so many years????

Oh ooops my bad for stealing LaRonda's awesome stories with some brilliant and curiously fun questions recently! I did sometimes wondered with my questions once in a while: 1. Do the Deaf Boy Dorm Students made bed better than Deaf Girl Dorm Students? 2. Do the Deaf Dorm Students made bed better than both Deaf Day and Mainstreamed Students?
I have to respect my Deaf son because he told me that he RATHER TO STAY at dorm better than staying home while his dad and I are both BUSY FULL TIME WORKING PARENTS!!! So I understand some Deaf Dorm Students do like to stay at dorm better than staying at their home while they were so boring at their home. And also their own parents are full time working parents and do want save their gas mileages from the expensive gas prices after school events and activities like sports, organizations. True!!!! And also some dorm students do have their own family problems at home like lack of communication, divorce or etc..., etc..., and etc...
I would like thank Deaf Dixie's vlog links: http://www.deafread.com/blogger/729 (You can go find her subject called "The Houseparents discipline kids to make up bed at the dorm" and click there. Enjoy!
Of course Deaf Dorm Life is so much more fun better than staying home after school on down below video clip:
Do the Dorm Grade Level worth for the Deaf Dorm Students?? I don't think it helps the Dorm Students to improve their self esteem while the Deaf Day Students do not have the dorm grade level at thier home life!!!!
I want to respect Gnarlydork by sharing my own experiences with struggling to get my Deaf son to get top qualified level 5 educational interpreter in mainstream for tooo long time WHILE I'm a FULL TIME WORKING MOM! But seems ADA and IDEA laws are VERY WEAK SYSTEMS for the Deaf Education!
I may be so STOOOOPID about Deaf History... I may be WRONG if that Deaf mainstreamed started in 1970's.. I am not sure because I do not have much time to take Deaf Studies while I am a full time working mom with my 2 boys..
I already know that IDEA and ADA laws are still very weak systems.. Including my Deaf and 1/2 blind husband and I are still full time working parents that we do feel so much pressures from the hearing workers on our work floor. Seems that the ADA law do not have good systems on our work floor, too!!! We do still feel oppressed from our work floor but we managed go to work and then go home. We feel that we are suffered to pay our Federal taxes and seem wasted our time with the ADA law systems that are STILL WEAK SYSTEMS!
I did had my own experience with 4 hours of battle war in my Deaf son's IEP meeting before go to work. My Deaf and 1/2 blind husband was stuck at work and couldn't go IEP meeting! I was ALONE and got suffered with my BIG HEADACHE to go work on that night!! I was WORN OUT from the 4 hours war in IEP Meeting!! Plus my Deaf and 1/2 blind husband and I grew up from lack of education from Oral Deaf school here, too! That's why we prefer to have our Deaf son to get far better Deaf education than ours while we already experienced isolated in our mainstreamed high school without educational interpreter provided before the 1990's ADA law passed!!!
Thank you, Gnarlydork for your own express from your feelings! Hope you will feel a lot better asap.. Hope you that you will understand our situation problems.. Don't give up yourself, Gnarlydork!! I better go get busy myself. Smile, Shawn
Excuse me!!! I did said SOME (not all) of us have ASL BRAINS! Sorry NO arguments! We do have every RIGHTS to express our concerns!
To let you know that I had some experiences with only one qualified certified ASL interpreter did got worn out from interpreting for more than 2 hours meetings and workshops. That one qualified ASL interpreter got worn out from signing ASL for 20 or 30 minutes then started to sign English because the brain got so tired from translating to express ASL for more than 20 to 30 minutes. It's important for us to find out how long the meetings or workshops will take, it will be best for us to ask for 2 qualified certified ASL interpreters are required to come to the meetings or worshops to save their alternative ASL breaths.
I praised Gary Brook brought up his own perspective for needing more Deaf Male Actors! You can go find and click on his own video clip called "Why Some Deaf Actors Are @&!%@#!?!?!" on this vlog link: http://www.deafread.com/blogger/306
Oh yes, I wish there are more Deaf actors like CJ Jones!!! I did watched his performance at MSD's high school graduation ceromony! Gosh, he made me laugh so hard!!! CJ Jones is so awesome Deaf actor!!!
And also I would like to see older Deaf male actors to perfom in Rated "R" movies to help me and other Deaf women to understand and know what to do with our Middle Age Crisis relationship life! I do not want to see the Rated XXX porn movies because I want to see more Deaf Culture movies with Rated R to educated us what the real serious relationship life looks like. We need to know what is the real relationship life look like before we the Deaf decide to keep our marriages and other partners more healthy serious relationship stronger.
I do have a question for ChrisH !!! Bye, I gotta go start my engine now and go out of town for a whole long weekend. Will be back home on Tuseday! Hope you will enjoy your weekend!
My video message for Roehm, the Nesmuth and other Deaf who may be ALONE feeling OPPRESSED by hearings and Deaf for many years. I hope you will understand some of us Deaf did felt oppressed by hearing controllers with the lack of Deaf Education for so many years!
Here's my 2nd video important message for one of the Interpreter Agencies here in St. Louis who already got contract from my work company. Please do your honor to watch from this video link: http://asl.deafvideo.tv/watch/2584
FYI: Interpreter Agent, last week my hearing co-workers and my hearing supervisors did informed me that they were satisfied with that interpreter who has level 4 from Missouri Interpreter Certification but has Level 5 under NAD Interpreter Certication. Possible hearing Missouri Interpreter Evaluators were jealous of that interpreter who has fabulous ASL skills and voicing skills. My meeting with my manager who has disability and my Union Representative will be next week. Hope my manager will feel better herself by developing good teamwork on my work floor. I don't know if my manager knew about ADA and I will need to check with her first next week. Or up to you may possible find top qualified level 5 under Missouri Interpreter for my next week meeting. Thank you.
First I want to thank to Welcome to Seek Geo's Vlog for his sharing express from one of his wonderful day experiences from his vlog link called "Cochlear Implant the Only Option": http://www.deafread.com/blogger/594
My opinion that there are some problems from Clarke School for the Deaf did use their own fancy advertisement to make the hearing parents attracted. That advertisement has NO INFO with Deaf children who were born Deaf or hearing then later become Deaf.. That oral deaf school may be using some Deaf children who were born hearing and then later become Deaf which that may possible take advantage to make the parents more attraction????
Thanks for allowing me to express my opinions since we have the right to have our own freedom of express (speech) here in America! Have a very nice day!
See both the hearing leaders from Bush's Administration (White House)& US Senates (US Capitol Hill both Democrats and Republicans) were NOT GOOD at focusing and respecting us all Americans. We people workers do pay our Federal Taxes and State Taxes from our biweekly pay checks or once a week:
1. Factories: Drinks, food, Ketchup (Kerry's wife owns Hunts Ketchup), chocalate, candies, and many other things like electric appliances, cell phones, CDs and DVDs; 2. Farms 3. etc...,etc..., etc....
To my own opionion and concern about Bush's Administrator, Spellings from US Department of Education did seriously focus on "Private Charter Schools" too much while NOT ALL American military cannot afford by enrolling in private charter. Not all American military do NOT have Bilingual and Bicultural Education from their own public schools. I sometimes wondering if US Dept. of Education Secretary, does Spellings spend time focusing on "Bicultural and Bilingual Education" issues in public schools??? It bothers me sometimes when I did opened from this link: http://www.ed.gov/index.jhtml I do not see any "Bicultural and Bilingual education issues" at public schools...
So far I know that the British troops withdraw from Iraq base will be expected in few days!!! Look at 10 years ago, Princess Diana was pregnant from Dodi and wondering why was one of the 5 Conspiracy Theory possible murdered because of her planning to get married Dodi. The British Royal disliked that idea of her marriage plans to Dodi??? Which that it is NOT diversity!!!
So it comes to my thought why waste our time for NO DIVERSITY RESPECT for all whole Global World... Of course waste our taxpayers for more problems with many mistakes in Iraq while there are not enough Bicultural and Bilingual education in our public schools !!! We need to be flexible with our own religion belief while we CANNOT be perfect religious humans!!! If we do act like PERFECT RELIGIOUS ourself, we will go CRAZY!!! NOT ALL marriage are PERFECT LIFE!!!!
Thanks to this Deaf guy who did shared his own video response to Mish's Vlog from this ASL Deaf TV video link: http://asl.deafvideo.tv/watch/2547
