UPDATED FLASH--AB 2072 Vetoed by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
According to an authoritative source within the California Senate staff, it is still technically possible that the California Legislature could override Gov. Schwarzenegger's veto of AB 2072. However, this is highly *unlikely* to happen, since there has not been a successful attempt to override a governor's veto in California since 1979.
Theoretically, the Legislature has 60 days to override the current governor's veto of AB 2072, which means that the last possible day it could be overridden is Sunday, November 28, 2010.
Two days later on November 30, 2010, the Legislature will adjourn "sine die", which means that the session will be completely finished, and no bills at all from that session could be overridden after that. Legislators would only have the option of reintroducing a bill in January 2011, at which time it would be considered a new bill and be given a different number.
The last bill to be overridden in California was AB 570, titled: "An act to amend Section 1643 of the Insurance Code, relating to insurance". That bill was originally introduced by Assemblymember Pappen on Feb. 16, 1979 and was passed out of the Legislature on May 25, 1979, then vetoed by Governor Jerry Brown on June 9, 1979, the same Jerry Brown who is currently running again for governor of California, 27 years after he left the office in 1983.
The Legislature successfully overrode the governor's veto on July 12, 1979.Previous to AB 580 in 1979, there was another bill successfully overridden in 1979 which was SB 91, originally introduced by Senator Al Alquist (the husband of current Senator Elaine Alquist).Previous to that, SB 155 was successfully overridden in 1977.

Ridor's a Monster!
Robert Mason Is that true about Ricky D. Taylor aka Ridor is in jail right now? Barry Sewell posted his blog said someone posted the vlog to share unforunate news about Ridor being in jail. I could not possibly open the YouTube video with the requirement of Flash Player 10.0. What is the nature of Ridor's arrest?

First of all, I personally know who the Gratefuldeaf. His name is Jason T. He is a good guy who fully supports the Deafhood and other "D" things. I found out that several individuals involved with Gally frat exposed Ridor in time for the AS...P Bash next Monday or Tuesday to discredit the ASP fraternity. Yes, too many people commit larcency anyway like people forget to pay for stuff and walk out of the store. Or commit such money fraud thru Internet, etc. Let's see and wait to see what the judicial outcome will be. Ridor need to learn how to behave in the court of law. He could be boorish and act inapproriate in defy of the judicial process. Most important of all is to cooperate with the judge or magistrate and act cordial and submissive as only the way to get thru the judicial system. I got too many email messages from deaf people all over the country CHEER to see Ridor being in jail. How contradicatory for Ridor being arrested in time for the Deafhood workshop down in Richmond. Many deaf people poured out their hatred for Ridor to his kid brother, Gary at the Deaf Night Out in DC last September 3rd. Yes, Barb DiGi is absolutely right about the likely possibility of judicial corruption and railroadings.See More

Barb DiGi, with due respect, Ridor's arrest and imprisonment are not the rumor, but really existed. No questions about Ridor's arrest and imprisoment are real news which people deserve to know what is going on with Ridor.Ridor choose to be... a public figure as blogger and vlogger. He is a real celebrity among us, deaf people. People are people savoring such celebrity news anyway. Too bad about our nowaday society have no no no privacy left. That's what our world is all about now! The news of Ridor's arrest & imprisonment probably will give more attention to what occurs with the judicial system for deaf people. I really do not know what is Jason's agenda of posting such info about Ridor's arrest.Jason did not respond to my FB message since he is too busy with his schoolwork. I was told that Jason was visibly uncomfortable giving out report about Ridor being arrested and jailed on his vlog. I haven't seen his YouTube vlog posting yet. If someone deaf break the law, then the info surely will be the public info (the public's right to know). The police reports are open to the public anyway. That is nothing to do with the concept of Deafhood to keep people from knowing if someone deaf do something unlawful. People naturally love to gossip, spread news as part of our own humanity as research studies show. Gossip itself is part of our own human mechanism for the social conformity to keep people in line regarding their behaviors. I am very glad that you urge people not to make any conclusions about Ridor until the courtroom verdict. I am sure that Ridor would do same thing about informing others about someone deaf being arrested or prior convictions. Ridor did issue out personal info about other deaf people. Many people emailed me - 'Karma is bitch !"See More

Diane, I already said "larcency and contempt of court" what Ridor had been arrested for. I will talk to the District Attorney tmw morning or this week to find out why Ridor being charged, etc. Every arrests usually shared with legal barracu...das (lawyers) for them to make $$ out of lawyer hirings. That would be very interesting development with Ridor's arrest and imprisonment. News are news. Mike McConnell is right about one thing - bloggers and vloggers are in the shark-infested water smelling for bloods (worthy news to report). Journalistic newsreportings are in my blood anyway. I have been carefully walking on the tightrope when come to deaf newsreportings for very long time. I could see that many deaf people are in long line for payouts what Ridor done to them over years. I put up with Ridor for many years. For example, Ridor recently called me "slut" on my blog posting which I wrote very nice posting about Ridor. He doesn't want people to know that he asked and asked me for $$$. I did give him generous $$$ which he never bother to pay me back or thank me. At first, I never mention about Ridor asked me for $$ until he said "I never like you!" I had a last straw with him which I always treated him with respect over years. I helped Ridor out on generous terms, but he still smeared me with false info like "slut" and "pedophile" on his blog.Me, slut or pedophile? Oh my God! Ridor got resentful toward me which I slept with several Gallaudet male students half the age of mine in the 90s and 2000s. I never was interested in sleeping with younger guys ,but those guys threw themselves at me. Ridor had no right to smear me in any way. I brushed off young guys often, but some Gallaudet fellows threatened me "No more friends if you do not have sex with me". I was drunk at that time. I subjected to their threats. Yes, I had problems with the Doormat Syndrome myself of being too nice guy. I guess that karma comes to Ridor for what he done to people in general.See More

Ridor never apologize to me for what he done to me and others. He have to pay for his own deeds. Ridor exposed someone's HIV status (bgarmon8) on his YouTube vlogs. What to do with someone's personal life. Ridor is very hyprocritical about ...not submitting any personal info about others, but he did, did, did! I personally know bgarmon8 vlogger. He is incredibly nice person, but Ridor reduced him to something monstrous and called many people "retarded". Ridor smeared my good name with falsehoods for many years as what many Gallaudet students came forward to inform me what he said shitty things about me. What I done anything to Ridor? Nothing! Ridor's sister, Hedy told me not to give her own brother any money at all. Hedy shared horror stories about Ridor when they grew up. Whoa! Ridor need to learn how to be diplomatic and respectful toward others.You and others are feeding on the misery of others from Ridor's hateful behaviors like people keep buying shitty stuff like the National Enqurier. Anyone do not deserve any falsehoods or smeared info to be untruthful.Too many people are afraid of Ridor's wrath. Too many deaf people have to give $$$ to Ridor or he will chew them out on his blog/vlog. I gave $$ to Ridor to help out any deaf fellows. He took advantage of my generosity and decency. Talented vlogger? Plz!!!! His only talents are spewing the worst of humanity, not bring out best out of us! Ridor chewed Jane Fernandes for personal reasons. Many Gallaudet staffers and professors knew the ugly side of Ridor. They felt whew for Ridor leaving the Gallaudet campus. Ridor was well-known for airing anyone's dirty laundry if someone refuse to subcumb to his wishes. Ridor emailed me via VAX system in the 90s and asked me for SEX! I replied nicely - "I am not a kind of person for sleeping around". Guess what? Ridor caused chaos within my housemaetes from his Gally dormitory. Other housemates and I lived off the campus as a returning student. I couldn't believe it at all like Ridor announced that my housemates are closeted gays.Not true! My housemates were very shocked what Ridor done to them. Ridor pressured other deaf guys to show their own private parts . What kind of person he was! Ridor told many people about my personal life, ex. sexual orientation. Uh-huh! I never seen myself as a gay person at all. I'm just Robert L. Mason. Ridor waltzed into me at Gally library and accused me of backstabbing him. I said "What?" He never asked me if I done any badmouthing of him during my years as a returning student. Just blured out accusation in front of people in very public way. *shaking head in disbelief* Ridior said that he filed complaint against me at the Student Life. I went to see the Student Life to find out what Ridor filed against me. Guess what? Nope! Sue Hanhran with the Student Life was very furious - "RICKY TAYLOR RICKY TAYLOR RICKY TAYLOR". She asked me if I want her to talk to Ricky and tell him to stop very childish and immature behavior. I said 'No out of fear what Ridor will do next to me". I really could not wait to see Ridor being dragged into the prison cell for guys with HIV to tear out his hole (rectum) for what he done to me and others! I often wish that I could stomp on Ridor, but I am a lawful person. I have to say "FUCK YOU, DIANE" for rooting for someone who destroy too many people's falsehoods. I admire your honesty anyway. I am glad that people know me, real Robert as a nice guy. Ridor ever badmouthed my deaf mother "I hear that many people do not like your mother". People love my grandmother moer than your mother". He got info from just one person without checking out mutliple sources. Oh my God! Ridor done the same thing to deaf person I respect for many years. He blasted this deaf person without talking to the person first to see his side, etc. Ridor hurt too many people in general. He have to be stopped and changed his style to be a better person for sake of humanity.See More

He also like to spread lies or embarrassing gossip about someone. We are better than him. Who would ever forget him talking about a guy paying him to shit on his chest?

Jason who? Carl who? Fascinating how they spent so much time exposing one another. What do we benefit from this? Nothing!

Barb, all we do respect Ridor's family by leaving them alone. They do deserve L ♥ V E as much as they need it. But Carl's video comment did mentioned about "terrorized" in ASLROCKS from this link: http://seesmic.tv/videos/R9b4rt2AdqI al...ready know that Carl got banned from dvtv also! I did bashed HonBrit + DeafBunny owner also from my video but I have not get ban from both ASLROCKS, dvtv + deafread.Found out that lots of members of dvtv + deafread did go watch ASLROCKS. So it is up to PL the ASLROCKS website owner. Tar said that we have to listen on both sides!See More

First of all, I personally know who the Gratefuldeaf. His name is Jason T. He is a good guy who fully supports the Deafhood and other "D" things. I found out that several individuals involved with Gally frat exposed Ridor in time for the AS...P Bash next Monday or Tuesday to discredit the ASP fraternity. Yes, too many people commit larcency anyway like people forget to pay for stuff and walk out of the store. Or commit such money fraud thru Internet, etc. Let's see and wait to see what the judicial outcome will be. Ridor need to learn how to behave in the court of law. He could be boorish and act inapproriate in defy of the judicial process. Most important of all is to cooperate with the judge or magistrate and act cordial and submissive as only the way to get thru the judicial system. I got too many email messages from deaf people all over the country CHEER to see Ridor being in jail. How contradicatory for Ridor being arrested in time for the Deafhood workshop down in Richmond. Many deaf people poured out their hatred for Ridor to his kid brother, Gary at the Deaf Night Out in DC last September 3rd. Yes, Barb DiGi is absolutely right about the likely possibility of judicial corruption and railroadings.See More

What did Ricky do for the crime? If it is a misdemeanor or it is not related to the Deaf issues. Again it is not my business. You will NEVER know some vloggers did the serious crimes such as sexually assaulted or even worse. Please... Please be careful of you have to say here. I am tired when many target Ridor for a little thing. Being arrested and spend in jail doesn't mean Ridor is guilty.

Barb DiGi, with due respect, Ridor's arrest and imprisonment are not the rumor, but really existed. No questions about Ridor's arrest and imprisoment are real news which people deserve to know what is going on with Ridor.Ridor choose to be... a public figure as blogger and vlogger. He is a real celebrity among us, deaf people. People are people savoring such celebrity news anyway. Too bad about our nowaday society have no no no privacy left. That's what our world is all about now! The news of Ridor's arrest & imprisonment probably will give more attention to what occurs with the judicial system for deaf people. I really do not know what is Jason's agenda of posting such info about Ridor's arrest.Jason did not respond to my FB message since he is too busy with his schoolwork. I was told that Jason was visibly uncomfortable giving out report about Ridor being arrested and jailed on his vlog. I haven't seen his YouTube vlog posting yet. If someone deaf break the law, then the info surely will be the public info (the public's right to know). The police reports are open to the public anyway. That is nothing to do with the concept of Deafhood to keep people from knowing if someone deaf do something unlawful. People naturally love to gossip, spread news as part of our own humanity as research studies show. Gossip itself is part of our own human mechanism for the social conformity to keep people in line regarding their behaviors. I am very glad that you urge people not to make any conclusions about Ridor until the courtroom verdict. I am sure that Ridor would do same thing about informing others about someone deaf being arrested or prior convictions. Ridor did issue out personal info about other deaf people. Many people emailed me - 'Karma is bitch !"See More

Diane, I already said "larcency and contempt of court" what Ridor had been arrested for. I will talk to the District Attorney tmw morning or this week to find out why Ridor being charged, etc. Every arrests usually shared with legal barracu...das (lawyers) for them to make $$ out of lawyer hirings. That would be very interesting development with Ridor's arrest and imprisonment. News are news. Mike McConnell is right about one thing - bloggers and vloggers are in the shark-infested water smelling for bloods (worthy news to report). Journalistic newsreportings are in my blood anyway. I have been carefully walking on the tightrope when come to deaf newsreportings for very long time. I could see that many deaf people are in long line for payouts what Ridor done to them over years. I put up with Ridor for many years. For example, Ridor recently called me "slut" on my blog posting which I wrote very nice posting about Ridor. He doesn't want people to know that he asked and asked me for $$$. I did give him generous $$$ which he never bother to pay me back or thank me. At first, I never mention about Ridor asked me for $$ until he said "I never like you!" I had a last straw with him which I always treated him with respect over years. I helped Ridor out on generous terms, but he still smeared me with false info like "slut" and "pedophile" on his blog.Me, slut or pedophile? Oh my God! Ridor got resentful toward me which I slept with several Gallaudet male students half the age of mine in the 90s and 2000s. I never was interested in sleeping with younger guys ,but those guys threw themselves at me. Ridor had no right to smear me in any way. I brushed off young guys often, but some Gallaudet fellows threatened me "No more friends if you do not have sex with me". I was drunk at that time. I subjected to their threats. Yes, I had problems with the Doormat Syndrome myself of being too nice guy. I guess that karma comes to Ridor for what he done to people in general.See More

Ridor never apologize to me for what he done to me and others. He have to pay for his own deeds. Ridor exposed someone's HIV status (bgarmon8) on his YouTube vlogs. What to do with someone's personal life. Ridor is very hyprocritical about ...not submitting any personal info about others, but he did, did, did! I personally know bgarmon8 vlogger. He is incredibly nice person, but Ridor reduced him to something monstrous and called many people "retarded". Ridor smeared my good name with falsehoods for many years as what many Gallaudet students came forward to inform me what he said shitty things about me. What I done anything to Ridor? Nothing! Ridor's sister, Hedy told me not to give her own brother any money at all. Hedy shared horror stories about Ridor when they grew up. Whoa! Ridor need to learn how to be diplomatic and respectful toward others.You and others are feeding on the misery of others from Ridor's hateful behaviors like people keep buying shitty stuff like the National Enqurier. Anyone do not deserve any falsehoods or smeared info to be untruthful.Too many people are afraid of Ridor's wrath. Too many deaf people have to give $$$ to Ridor or he will chew them out on his blog/vlog. I gave $$ to Ridor to help out any deaf fellows. He took advantage of my generosity and decency. Talented vlogger? Plz!!!! His only talents are spewing the worst of humanity, not bring out best out of us! Ridor chewed Jane Fernandes for personal reasons. Many Gallaudet staffers and professors knew the ugly side of Ridor. They felt whew for Ridor leaving the Gallaudet campus. Ridor was well-known for airing anyone's dirty laundry if someone refuse to subcumb to his wishes. Ridor emailed me via VAX system in the 90s and asked me for SEX! I replied nicely - "I am not a kind of person for sleeping around". Guess what? Ridor caused chaos within my housemaetes from his Gally dormitory. Other housemates and I lived off the campus as a returning student. I couldn't believe it at all like Ridor announced that my housemates are closeted gays.Not true! My housemates were very shocked what Ridor done to them. Ridor pressured other deaf guys to show their own private parts . What kind of person he was! Ridor told many people about my personal life, ex. sexual orientation. Uh-huh! I never seen myself as a gay person at all. I'm just Robert L. Mason. Ridor waltzed into me at Gally library and accused me of backstabbing him. I said "What?" He never asked me if I done any badmouthing of him during my years as a returning student. Just blured out accusation in front of people in very public way. *shaking head in disbelief* Ridior said that he filed complaint against me at the Student Life. I went to see the Student Life to find out what Ridor filed against me. Guess what? Nope! Sue Hanhran with the Student Life was very furious - "RICKY TAYLOR RICKY TAYLOR RICKY TAYLOR". She asked me if I want her to talk to Ricky and tell him to stop very childish and immature behavior. I said 'No out of fear what Ridor will do next to me". I really could not wait to see Ridor being dragged into the prison cell for guys with HIV to tear out his hole (rectum) for what he done to me and others! I often wish that I could stomp on Ridor, but I am a lawful person. I have to say "FUCK YOU, DIANE" for rooting for someone who destroy too many people's falsehoods. I admire your honesty anyway. I am glad that people know me, real Robert as a nice guy. Ridor ever badmouthed my deaf mother "I hear that many people do not like your mother". People love my grandmother moer than your mother". He got info from just one person without checking out mutliple sources. Oh my God! Ridor done the same thing to deaf person I respect for many years. He blasted this deaf person without talking to the person first to see his side, etc. Ridor hurt too many people in general. He have to be stopped and changed his style to be a better person for sake of humanity.See More

I know Ricky Taylor personally. He used to be my roommate while working as a summer camp counselor. We hung out a lot while I was in Gallaudet. I can attest to you that he is not a good person. He is very negative. The problem I see from hi...m is he is very bright, but he does not give back to the community for continuing war of words with people by blogging and vlogging. He also like to spread lies or embarrassing gossip about someone. We are better than him. Who would ever forget him talking about a guy paying him to shit on his chest? Would I respect a friend for that? Why should it be different for him? Let's move it from there. Ricky Taylor, aka Ridor, live or die, that I don't care.

ASL Film's "Black Sand" Reviews & Tibidts
Mark Wood surely emerge as the Deaf "Oscar Micheaux" which Wood and the ASL Films Production brought us series of ASL-centered entertainment films from "Forget Me Not" to the latest film release, "Black Sand".
The recent film screening of "Black Sand" at the Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD), Washington, DC as part of fundraising event for the MSSD Alumni Association this September 10th and 11th, 7pm. The MSSD auditorium was pretty packed.
The ASL Films production always support the organizations of the deaf across America by splitting 70 percent to 30 percent from ticket sales.
ASL Film's "Black Sand" was pretty entertaining film. Wanna see the film again!
RLMDEAF decide not to spoil the prospective viewers with any details or hints. Preferably let you, deaf audience to see the film first before we have the discussion forum about the ASL Film's "Black Sand".
The ASL Film's enclosed film synposis really enough for the would-be deaf viewers to get the whole idea what the film is all about.
Mark Wood, the film director and several cast members of "Black Sand" made their surprise appearance on the MSSD Auditorium to field the questions about the film after the film screening.
The first question was from me, RLM about whether Chris B. Corrigian really became a professional actor. Chris replied "Yes, I had been performed the stage works before attending Gallaudet. I recently graduated from Gallaudet and went back to my acting roots (phrase)".
Mark Woods answered an question about how long to complete the pre-film and post-film production. "7 months".
Someone asked Mark Wood about the film script writing. Woods wanted to do something different with the real complicated storyline and character development (loose phrase), instead
of spoon-feeding the audience throughout the entire film.
RLM asked another question about one female character with interesting physical feature, especially the human hair whether it was natural or being done with special makeup. The deaf actress replied "The makeup person helped with the character image".
Other questions aimed at Mark Wood and cast members. Chris Corrigan shared his delightful experience with the hearing guy, who appeared in "Black Sand" as a caretaker. How the hearing male cast changed dramatically from the wooden person to "largely expressive person with easy time of doing the communication gestures. The deaf actress told how wonderful for the hearing lady being truly shy to the real delight to have her around the set. In the end, hearing lady played the housekeeper still shy about seeing herself on the film during the editing process.
The entire "Black Sand" cast members and production crew had a real wonderful time in Costa Rica during the filming.
RLM asked Mark Wood the direct question after the Q & A's session what will be his next film project. Wood replied "I do not know yet".
Look forward to more "ASL Film" production in near future! Mark Wood is definitely our "Oscar Micheaux"
