An alternative idea for DeafBlind on ASL Vlogs...
Translated:
Greetings! I would like to suggest another alternative for those who are deaf-blind who expressed their feelings about the need for translation on vlogs by those who use American Sign Language. I want to spell out some pointers for deaf-blind people so they could become proactive with the idea and to take it in serious consideration. Deaf-blind people could then get together and discuss their options. My focus is to have the deaf-blind people get together in a committee with no outside participation by deaf or hearing people. Only the deaf-blind people can make their own decisions. It is my suggestion that the deaf-blind people establish their own non-profit organization with their own board. The board will consist of only deaf-blind people and not deaf or hearing people. Two things are necessary to establish an organization: applying for an EIN ID number and a 501-c-3 non-profit status. When you have done so, you can contact us with a petition to come to an agreement to have captions in vlogs that could be a benefit for deaf-blind people out there. I think that this is a great idea. Have you noticed movies and television shows were brought up by actors, writers, directors, and other related employees. They have certain budgets for their films. Does any of those employees work on subtitles or translation process at some extent? After a movie is filmed and edited, the studios hired professionals to work on the subtitles. The work is prepared so deaf people could watch and enjoy the show. I think it is important for the deaf-blind people to have money to make services accessible for them. In this way we could continue to produce more vlogs. The deaf-blind people, with money on hand, could request professional transcribers to help with the subtitles and still get involved with us. I think that will put all of us forward. I promise you when you set up your committee in creating a non-profit organization with a 501-c-3 status, we Aslans will contribute with money. It is a tax write-off. We always want to support you. I hope you can consider and discuss this avenue. It is imperative that bylaws and a board will be created. Vlogs can be subtitled by a paid transcriber. You can come in agreement with us vloggers to allow you to have the vlogs subtitled for the sole purpose to serve deaf-blind people only. If certain hearing people want this service, they will have to pay directly to you to make this accessible. It is to your discretion whether to accept such requests. Again, it is important to have funds necessary to meet your needs. In this way, we vloggers can continue to focus on creating vlogs and you can continue to enjoy watching the vlogs without any barriers. Thank you.

I have a question to ask for vloggers and others...
The respond by a person after two days...
Thank you for not responding to my latest email. I finally found some answers to the questions that I asked you to share.
So long,
JR
My respond...
Hey, don't treat me like a technical support. The email that I send to you was complete volunteer information without any obligate to share with you. I have a wife and three kids to focus on and your second email was on hold until I have time to share you those information. Think about it, I don't know who you are and you send me a demeaning email about my untimely respond. Where did you get an idea that I am obligate to respond timely as technical support? I share those information to you as courteous and is this what I get? Please don't ask me any more questions until you understand that it is my volunteer time to share those information to you.
So long? No, you should say thank you!
Sincerely,

Tripod, insightcinema.org: Are they monopoly the OC films production?
From what I understand Tripod has been change to insightcinema.org? My point is they have all rights with OC films production and they didn't care about our comments on subtitles. Their excuse on subtitles' quality...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why are the words in white, sometimes they are so hard to read?
The process by which captions (or subtitles) are applied to a motion picture print is by use of a laser, which engraves the text onto each individual frame of the film, burning away the emulsion layer of the film, allowing white light from the projector to pass through the film and project white captions on the screen. Addition of a drop shadow or gray or black box surrounding the titles would require a very costly optical process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, they feel it is expensive to use shadow, gray or black box surround the titles. They should give up and give the rights to another organizations who will listen to customers instead of save the cost on subtitles. Shame on them!

My final comment about Richard Roehm's business and a warning for the deaf community.
I want everyone to bear with me as I know Richard Roehm isn't popular subject to discuss about, but I feel that this vlog is very important for everyone to watch it. It will focus on Richard Roehm's business and his intention of bashing the people who use ASL. I did add a warning message for all deaf community in last part of my vlog. First of all, you will see a few seconds of blur in my video. (3:04-3:12) My camcorder is getting old and its automatic focus is going to be out of sync. It's time for me to buy new camcorder soon. Anyway, if someone thinks this vlog is very important message for everyone included hearing people, then I welcome any volunteer whom willing to translate this video and I will add it to my vlog. Please contact me through email before you go ahead and translate my vlog. This vlog is 13 minutes long; please complete watch the video before you make any comments. I promise this vlog is worth your time to watch it. This is my longest vlog that I had ever created; please bear with me. Thank you.
More information:
Richard Roehm's OCDAC (Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center, Est: 1998) is not under state's support and they are independence business corporation without any guidelines to be followed by the state of California. (www.deafadvocacy.org)

One last thing, if you feel that I didn't give Richard Roehm a chance to redeem himself, and then I will add a doc included my conversation with Richard Roehm. I did try to open discussion with him in peaceful and private. He didn’t take this chance and here is my proof without any changes except added "( )" as correct word for error words. I didn't correct any grammar or spelling from both of us. I want to leave it as original and you can see for yourself. This conversation was send through youtube.com as private message.

Hello,
My name is Kevin Gamache. I want to open converse with you relate to "Old Deaf Guard". I am not going to hide who I am, but I am one of founder for "Audism.org" and I am what you called, "The Old Deaf Guard".
I am willing to continue converse with you and hope to understand your perspective. Other than your frustrate, you did demonstrate your skills in high class. However, I see your frustrate hind your ability to share your dream with "Old Deaf Guard".
Let me share my background, I was born in San Diego and attend Lafayette and we use "Total Communication". When I was 12 years old, my brother and I decide to transfer to CSDR. (California School for the Deaf, Riverside). This give me both experience in two different category, ASL and total communication. I think everyone included people who support total communication or ASL has misunderstand the true meaning. It has divided us all. Let me make it clear, I don't object against deaf person's ability to speak. I can speak, but not fluent. However, I don't support to speak and sign at same time.
What you say about "Old Deaf Guard" as low class. It hurt me to hear that. We the deaf people stir up on misconcept (misconception) message. You may call me dependency, it has offend me because interpreter help me to able communicate with hearing people. In your own term, I am low class, dependency, unmature (immature), unskillful, etc. I can proof you wrong, I am student in ITT-San Bernardino and dependency. The dependency has help me to pass first two years of A.S. degree in Computer Network System in 3.84 GPA and I will graduate with B.S. degree in Informaiton (Information) Security System next year and my current grade is 4.0. My grade will not be that high if I reject the concept of dependency. Many teachers and students has respect me, because of my ability to give intelligence correspond without absurd answer or agrument. (argument)
It is up to you, either we can work it out or continue divide between two different category of deaf people. I am willing to continue correspond with you or you may call this converse irreveal (irrelevant) and no solution as "Old Deaf Guard" which is included me must expunge from this world.

Audism mean those who can hear are superior than those who not able to hear. You giving us an attitude of able to hear and speak is superior and we can't hear or speak. All we ask is respect and allow us being success. Your attitude toward to us is same as white people's attitude toward to racism.
It is sad that money issue has cause you become vendetta against ODG. We respect who you are, but you declare we as low class because we can't speak or hear. That is wrong. As long you continue, we will educate people about you.
You called us, "Hate Crimes", "Terrorism", and "Scourges". What we did is peaceful educated people to respect our culture. You scoff at us and declare those things against us. Bottom line, you are angry at ODG just simply because you didn't receive the fund and you want revenge. That is how I perspective about you. I will expose you and clean up all mess you left.
I did start our conversation with respect and what you did is scuffle at my face. You don't understand the term of respect. Plain and clear, you don't understand how to respect the lesser group of deaf people who support ASL.

The keyword is “Treatment”. We are tired of doctors’ keep saying, “We have treatment for the hearing impaired”. None of them cure us to able to hear like hearing people. We are not guinea pig; we are human beings. If you have a cure for us to hear again, we will listen.
We the deaf people who use ASL want people like you to respect us. We do exist at present time. People like you declare the world to focus on past and future and ignore the present. Excuse me, we still do exist and we will still be around for long time. How long before you decide to respect us?
I have one question for you, if you can speak and hear like hearing people. That classified you as normal. What is your business in need for disabled fund, if you are normal? It is time for you to get funds from SBA not federal funds.

Since you believe in their system, you are part of them. You have forgot there are many deaf people who can’t speak and hear. Yet, you are willing to call them low class just because they can’t speak or hear.

Its gonna go up as soon as the flag I'm waving gets bigger and brighter. Thats gonna happen soon as were expanding into Long Beach. We just landed the contract yesterday AM.
Unless I get $2.4 million the ODG stole from me, I'm gonna keep on waving this flag and if it annoys you. So what and who cares.
I really dont want to deal with the ODG, or their scourge infested terrorist goons, I have a good future and it dont have anything to do with what makes the ODG roll.
I sowed these seeds 8 yrs ago and I'm entitled to a decent harvest.

Thank you,

I hope I am not prying your privacy, what did your RPM proposal focus on? Which part did you think that cause ODG to disapproved your RPM proposal? I understand that you must have deaf culture certified to be qualify for money fund from Sacramento.
Thank you,

Yes, but it is not relate to why "ODG" reject your RPM proposal. I wonder what part in your RPM that cause "ODG" to reject your proposal.
You keep saying, "The future model for the deaf." What kind of model function you planning to establish?

Since you are pround (proud) to wave the audism flag. Did you know the term of audism is no different from racism. Racism is based on color of skin being oppressed. Audism is based on inability to hear and being oppressed by person who think to speak is superior.
Why can't you show respect to people who not able to speak and being success?

Audism is similar as Racism regarding to oppression the small group. As you mention that we are small percent of deaf people who use ASL. Your attitude is ethical egoism against us and determine in Total Communication as best solution and those who are not follow Total Communication is low class. It is like you are treat black people a low class as well you treat us who use ASL a low class. I see it as similar.

I'll be doing a vlog this week on Audism hate crimes on deaf people who can speak. I'm going to associate the word "audism" with hate crimes on mainstream deaf people by the deaf extremists ands I'm goin to be using Tom Bertling's publications to cite a few of the scourges.

Audism is same group as racism, sexism, ageism, etc.
Audism mean those who can hear are superior than those who not able to hear. You giving us an attitude of able to hear and speak is superior and we can't hear or speak. All we ask is respect and allow us being success. Your attitude toward to us is same as white people's attitude toward to racism.
It is sad that money issue has cause you become vendetta against ODG. We respect who you are, but you declare we as low class because we can't speak or hear. That is wrong. As long you continue, we will educate people about you.
You called us, "Hate Crimes", "Terrorism", and "Scourges". What we did is peaceful educated people to respect our culture. You scoff at us and declare those things against us. Bottom line, you are angry at ODG just simply because you didn't receive the fund and you want revenge. That is how I perspective about you. I will expose you and clean up all mess you left.
I did start our conversation with respect and what you did is scuffle at my face. You don't understand the term of respect. Plain and clear, you don't understand how to respect the lesser group of deaf people who support ASL.

I did research and you are mistake to make this statment. Not all deaf people are qualify for cochlear implant. The doctors has stated that deaf people who want cochlear implant need to have their ear analysis to see if they are qualify for cochlear implant. Not many deaf people can speak as you. If they can't qualify for cochlear implant and not able to speak. What are they? A worthless person that can't be fix? Your perspective based on one view and you didn't research on cochlear implant for qualification.

Well youre not on any university committees that discusses the latest and unfortunately classified treatments for ailments including hearing loss.
That's why you dont know the newer stuff. And theres a reason for the stuff to be classified and people like you are one of them.
And at the meet next week I'm going to try get myself elected as vice chairman of that particular committee.

The keyword is “Treatment”. We are tired of doctors’ keep saying, “We have treatment for the hearing impaired”. None of them cure us to able to hear like hearing people. We are not guinea pig; we are human beings. If you have a cure for us to hear again, we will listen.
We the deaf people who use ASL want people like you to respect us. We do exist at present time. People like you declare the world to focus on past and future and ignore the present. Excuse me, we still do exist and we will still be around for long time. How long before you decide to respect us?
I have one question for you, if you can speak and hear like hearing people. That classified you as normal. What is your business in need for disabled fund, if you are normal? It is time for you to get funds from SBA not federal funds.

We repect your preference of life. If you want to speak and hear, that is your business. If we want to use ASL, it is our business. You declare that we use ASL as low class and we should get out of this planet. That is disrespect to us. The reason why we are not support the total communication, because those people like you tell everyone that all deaf people should use total communication, not ASL. People like you trying to decide what is best for us? I am sorry, we have a life and we able to function normal. You disrespect us by telling us by what is right in first place. You didn't respect us and our culture in first place. Therefore, we protect our culture.
What you did is trying to treat us as low class people. Did we treat you as low class people?

Our deaf center's support base comes from people with strong beliefs in our vision of the future of deaf society. I have no plans to alienate them by promoting or standing behind anything that pretty much represents the past of the deaf society.
Our ASL classes and deaf culture workshops will be cut from our programs once it ends in the middle of December. Its no longer a requirement for the state funds as the new ODA RFP released last friday do not require these items any more.

Whats on the ODA website is outdated. The recent RFP was released last friday and it was a 75 page .pdf file. RFP's are only accessible to those who have DGS certification.
Next week we'll have a meeting to discuss this finding and see how we go about it. Our ASL class and DC workshop costs are 100% reimburseable. However I've been bugged by the Irvine Toastmasters who want us to have a lipreading / speaking classes instead.

You are willing to sacrifice the deaf culture and ASL to satisfied your sponsors and supporters that believe that deaf person who can speak and hear have better future. However, they didn’t speak for us. All we ask is respect our culture and accept us part of different culture in America. We haven’t received that respect from them. Since you believe in their system, you are part of them. You have forgot there are many deaf people who can’t speak and hear. Yet, you are willing to call them low class just because they can’t speak or hear.
I have decided to close our conversation after several questions being unanswered. You are stonewalling my questions and repeat the small simple untrue responsive about us. However, I did try to open conversation with peace and you choose not take advantage of it. Those responsive I received from you has determine that you are inflexible and audist toward to deaf people who use ASL. We will continue and educate people to respect us without you.
I bid you farewell and may the future preserve our deaf culture.

Video technical for my vlog...
I found a flash html code from blip.tv. It's small, but it is expandable to full screen. Cool?
Suppose the quicktime video doesn't work, go ahead and use second video. :)
Let me know if it is good?
