Malory Graham is the founder and Executive Director of Reel Grrls, a Seattle-based nonprofit that teaches young women and girls how to make films. Graham, who grew up in New York City, caught the filmmaking bug as an undergraduate at Hampshire College, where she studied under the feminist researcher and author Susan Douglas. "They gave me a camera on day one and said 'create your own major,' so for four years, I made films." Once she graduated, she worked in the film industry, but found that teaching filmmaking was her real passion. She founded Reel Grrls in 2001 with the goal of teaching young women how to work behind the camera as well as in front of it, and how to make films about issues that matter to them.
Reel Grrls offers day camps, weekend programs, after-school programs and bootcamp workshops where students focus on just one aspect of filmmaking. They also run an apprenticeship program, where advanced students are placed with nonprofits in the Seattle area, to provide video production services. In other words, Reel Grrls teaches girls filmmaking skills, and then creates opportunities for them to use those skills for a good cause. And while only 3% of cinematographers in Hollywood are women, Graham says that the 120 girls who come through Reel Grrls every year are starting to make their voices heard and their viewpoints seen. If you know someone who would benefit from becoming a Reel Grrl, you can check out the different programs available here.
And now, without further ado, the Feministing Five, with Malory Graham.
Chloe Angyal: How did you come to combine teaching and filmmaking, and what led you to found Reel Grrls?
Malory Graham: I founded Reel Grrls about nine years ago, because I was a filmmaker myself. I graduated from college with this idea that I wanted to use media to change the world, and I ended up getting my first couple of jobs in the industry, and I was really disappointed. I ended up working for Turner Broadcasting for a short stint, doing sports coverage, and then I did fashion show coverage for Nordstrom's, and I thought, "Wait a minute, this is not why I got into media to begin with, so I really need to totally change the game and do things on my own terms instead of thinking that I need someone to give me a job."
From that point on I started getting offers to go into classrooms and to talk to students about how to get into the film industry, and I realized that I loved being in the classroom. I loved teaching and I loved being able to speak to students. So that really was my shift from working in the industry to teaching. I started out, in the nineties, teaching mixed gender groups, and I was really shocked that the boys totally took over running all the equipment and doing all the filming, and the girls ended up being the pretty faces in front of the camera. And even with myself as a role model, a filmmaker, it was so classic walking into classrooms and having that happen, and having that be the case in all the schools I went to. The media programs were run by boys, and the girls were tentative about technology, and really kind of fearful to touch anything in case they might break it. That was my experience of realizing that the media industry kind of had the same stigma for girls that getting into math and science did, and I thought, "Wow, this has to change." And that was when I had a bunch of girls come up to me, and asked them what was going on, why they were so scared. And they said, "Create a program for us that's all girls." And I thought that was an interesting idea.
So that was the founding of Reel Grrls, in 2001. It was a group of 20 girls who all came together for the course of a school year, and it was such a profound experience, because the girls just thrived when it was all girls. I brought in all my filmmaker friends who are women, to mentor. The Reel Grrl model is partnering girls with adult women filmmaker mentors. The process is as much about collaboration and community as it is about learning the technology, so a lot of it is the relationships that girls build with their mentors. And then also figuring out how to come up with topics that are really empowering, how to take the lens and point it at yourself and tell a personal story, that's usually the first project, making a film about themselves. Then they point the lens outward and make a film about an issue that's important to them. So we've been going nine years straight, and every year we have about 120 girls come through the program, and some of them just drop in for a three-day media bootcamp or a workshop in animation, but some of them stick with the full year program, because they get the filmmaking bug. And because the program is now nine years old, it's really exciting to see a bunch of girls who have gone on to film school, who are graduating and coming back to become instructors, or who are making their own films. So we're starting to see a shift, we're starting to see our girls get out in the world and into the industry, which is really exciting.
CA: Who is your favorite fictional heroine, and who are your heroines in real life?
MG: My favorite fictional heroine is Pippi Longstocking. I was Pippi when I was eight years old. I dressed up and put wire in my pigtails, and totally did the Pippi Longstocking thing because out of all the options that were given to me as a young girl, all the fairy stuff and the Barbie stuff, Pippi was the one person who was rebellious and adventurous, she was a little pirate, and she was a little scrappy too. I identified with her a lot more than with any of the fairy princesses in little girl heroine world.
I look up to a lot of women who are in the film industry. Of course, I'm thrilled that Kathryn Bigelow just got the Academy Award, so she certainly goes down in history as a film heroine for having done that. But I think that the woman who really speaks to me is [choreographer] Martha Graham. I am really intrigued by women who are not necessarily using the medium of politics for her empowerment. She was such a visionary in terms of dance and movement, and to see a woman who was so connected to the body, and who has left us these lasting quotes about finding meaning in your life, she was definitely a heroine for me.
CA: What recent news story made you want to scream?
MG: Just yesterday, I read a New York Times article that I just wanted to scream at. It wasn't a feminist issue, but it was a front page article about pitting climate scientists against meteorologists, saying that 50% of meteorologists don't believe that climate change is real, and they're the ones on television talking to Middle America. And they have absolutely no education or credentials to be making that claim. And it really pissed me off that the New York Times was basically pitting these two groups against each other, the meteorologists against these elitist climatologists, without really looking at the major issue of climate change.
CA: What, in your opinion, is the greatest challenge facing feminism today?
MG: It's been interesting watching the girls that we get enrolling in Reel Grrls. I saw girls come in nine years ago who were really eager to talk about media literacy, and how women were portrayed in the media, and body image, and over the course of nine years, that has really changed. The girls now are so jaded and so, "Oh, that's such an issue of yesterday, that's a 1970s feminist issue, and we're so beyond that." So I would say that the biggest issue facing feminism today is complacency. I think a lot of young women feel a false sense of equality that really isn't there. I'm always shocked when I'm talking to a group of 13- or 14-year-old girls here at Reel Grrls and I tell them that we live in a country that hasn't ratified an Equal Rights Amendment, and they're like, "Oh, that's interesting." I'm shocked at the complacency that I see in young women. In some ways it's fantastic that they don't feel inequity, but I'm also a little bit like, oh, girls, wait until you enter the work world, or open your eyes to salary inequity.
CA: You're going to a desert island, and you're allowed to take one food, one drink and one feminist. What do you take?
MG: A bottle of homemade limoncello, a chocolate tart and my husband.

There are some albums that should be kept as a treasure. Maybe because they are sort of a treasure. American Beauty is one of this kind. On this masterpiece Grateful Dead reduced, nearly discarded, their psychedelic debaucheries. They turned towards to a increase of their country and folk influences. In the end they created a work full of cushy but deep songs with a sparse and likable number of guitar solos and instrumental spaces.

My understanding that a brand would comprise a logo, and as such is therefore covered by trademark AND copyright. So not much wrong there.
With regards to the Jay-Z song, well what JK said is correct. The parody was removed due to suggested copyright infringement. It did resurface again at a later date. What JK suggests is wrong with this is that content can be removed from the internet without due process - as you correctly state parody is perfectly reasonable and doesn't infringe on copyright. Therefore the bigger point he is making, concerns unwarranted removal of material just on the say so of a big corporation e.g. record label.

DVB-T2 Dongles and PCI card availability?
This is crazy. I've funded all this ultimately crappy HD infrastructure upgrade. I've lost ceefax and a decent signal and now have very low quality transmissions but thank goodness what I've lost in quality I've gained in quantity (5 ITV channels anyone).
Now to rub salt in the wound, there are no DVB-T2 dongles or PCI cards available (which HD relies on) for the foreseeable future. wtf? One of the reasons I was reasonably onboard for the digital switchover was that because it was digital it should lead to nice integration with computers. Well to be fair it does, only for SD it seems. The lag on DVB-T2 receivers is something to do with BBC not agreeing on DRM standards to prevent unauthorised recording (what about authorised recording - I pay my license so what's the difference with SD).
Anybody have any good news for me about when DVB-T2 dongles and PCI cards will be available?

One half of legendary band Entombed, now known as Entombed AD (I know, I know) has put their new song 'Vulture and the Traitor' up for streaming on YouTube. It's definitely what you would expect but you can go ahead and listen for yourself, right after the jump.
Tag Archive: Entombed
Not even two weeks after releasing the second track from their new album Blissfucker, Trap Them have deemed it fit to share more new music. 'Lungrunners' is another full tilt tornado of a track, taking the blistering pace of 'Salted Crypts' and the hardcore swagger of 'Organic Infernal' and smashing the two together. Fans of the band will be moist in their seats at the breakneck tempo that rushes you and does not let up. Fuzz laden riffs and cascading kick drums are here in force so hold onto your hairpiece.
We've been waiting for an Entombed comeback album for some time now, but there has been some confusion and legal woes regarding the use of the name that eventually helped spawn a genre. With founding members Alex Hellid (guitar) and Lars Goran Petrov (vocals) both laying claim to the Entombed name after splitting up, two different versions of Entombed were floating around over the past few years, eventually (and obviously) leading to a legal fork in the road. Despite being the most active iteration of Entombed — signing to Century Media and writing/recording an album last year — the Petrov-fronted sect have been renamed Entombed A.D.
Will their new album Back to the Front do justice to the band's legacy as an influential death metal act? We're one step closer to finding out with the single 'Bedlam Attack'.
Earlier today, Bloodbath issued an announcement via their Facebook page, opening with the astonishing revelation that the band has already written ten new tracks. If that doesn't have you running for your corpse paint, not only does it look like we'll be destroyed by a new album soon but it will apparently be featuring a brand new vocalist. We can only guess at his identity but the benign souls over at Bloodbath have graced us with a few helpful clues:
Ramming Speed – Doomed to Destroy, Destined to Die
[Prosthetic Records]
Boston and the surrounding areas are like America's Sweden when it comes to extreme music output, spawning such modern-day heavyweights as Revocation, Converge and The Red Chord, and Ramming Speed are yet another great band hailing from this utopia of heavy metal brilliance. Doomed to Destroy, Destined to Die is the second full-length from these Boston natives, and it is a vicious juxtaposition of punk rock attitude, thrash metal riffs and grindcore ferocity, executed perhaps unlike any other album before it. Ramming Speed manage to cohesively blend elements from each of these beloved genres and invent and a style of crossover all their own. Each of the 13 tracks manage to sit at or below the three minute mark in short, chaotic bursts of thrash-grind frenzy, save for the surprisingly epic "Hollow Giants", which showcases an acoustic interlude and a slower tempo in what is surely meant to be the sole breather in the pack. Cuts such as "Grinding Dissent", "Cretins and Cowards", and "Ashes" strike the balance between thrash gallops and grind blasts almost perfectly, while others, such as "Anthems of Despair" and the "Raining Blood"-esque chug of "Ministry of Truth", are much more straightforward crossover/ thrash tunes. The songs do start to blend together after a few listens, but it's still a great record to turn on when freeform jazz passages and atmospheric interludes just don't sound good. Top the whole package off with a signature production job by the one and only Kurt Ballou, and Ramming Speed have crafted an album that's bound to turn a few heads.
What a year. Here is a summary of my most pleasurable listening experiences. Quick shout outs to Gaza, Eldrimner, Acrania (Mexico), Disfiguring the Goddess, Gods of Eden, Trash Talk, Xibalba and TesseracT who just barely missed the cut. Sorry guys.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy my list. I didn't mess around. Just meat and potatoes. Also, I'd love it if you left a comment validating my list or insulting me for terrible taste! Either way, happy doomsday!
The Secret
Agnus Dei
01. Agnus Dei
02. May God Damn All Of Us
03. Violent Infection
04. Geometric Power
05. Post Mortem Nihil Est
06. Daily Lies
07. Love Your Enemy
08. Vermin of Dust
09. Darkness I Became
10. Heretic Temple
11. The Bottomless Pit
12. Obscure Dogma
13. Seven Billion Graves
[Southern Lord Records]
There is a certain perverse irony behind the title of The Secret's fourth album, Agnus Dei. The Italian metallic hardcore outfit's latest offering bears the title of the peaceful Christian symbol of a holy lamb, yet presents itself as a wolf amongst the flock devouring the innocent beasts. While initially an intriguing and entertaining endeavor, repeated listens quickly reveal that this analogy would be more appropriately adjusted to describe Agnus Dei as a wolf in sheep's clothing. For while The Secret provide a solid performance of the recent trend of sludgy, grind influenced hardcore, this lycan ferocity is padded down by certain wooly missteps.
Revocation – Teratogenesis
[Scion A/V Metal]
Revocation is not only wholly incapable of writing boring material, but seem to alter their sound in a slightly more interesting way for each release. Enter Teratogenesis, the group's new metal-thrashing-mad lightening shredfest released through the unexpected kings of kickass metal, Scion A/V. Teratogenesis is Revocation's most focused release yet. It doesn't jump about between riffs and constantly try to keep you guessing, but holds you down and continuously beats the crap out of you for the full twenty-one minutes. Songs like the title track showcase a little bit of an old-school thrash flair with its lumbering, lurching, 7-stringed grooves that lock in to your arms and force you to mosh about, while 'Bound By Desire' is there to remind you that speed is everything. The stand out track is the opener 'The Grip Tightens' by quite a bit. If there were ever a song that grooves along with the ferocity of a runaway freight train smashing right into a nitroglycerine plant, it's this. Not to mention the inhuman guitar duo of David Davidson and Dan Gargiulo rip a solo that can only be described as terrifying. Teratogenesis is something for faithful Revocation fans and potential fans looking to get in to the band alike. Happy thrashing! – GK
Hardcore fans everywhere rejoice. The legendary bands Converge and Napalm Death have teamed up for a split EP, and it is now available for digital download at Deathwish, Inc. Here's the information and tracklist on the release:
Recorded as part of their new album sessions, Converge offer up the blazing new song "No Light Escapes." Already a staple of their live set, this whirlwind of an emotional charged song is a soon to be a discordant hardcore/metal anthem for the band. Also on the release, Converge offer a "We Are The World" styled rendition of the influential Entombed classic "Wolverine Blues". Joining them in tribute is a number of friends including Tomas Lindberg (Disfear, At The Gates, Lock Up), Aaron Turner (Isis, Old Man Gloom, Split Cranium), Kevin Baker (APMD, The Hope Conspiracy), Brian Izzi (Trap Them), and more. A new Converge album will surface later in 2012 on Epitaph/Deathwish.
On the flip side, metal pioneers Napalm Death offer up two new aural monsters. First, "Will By Mouth" erupts in classic grind fashion. A buzz of brutal guitars and a crushing blast beat lay a foundation for Barney Greenway's vicious vocal attack. All of it uniquely bleeding together to paint a vivid picture of social unrest. Also on the release, Napalm Death offer the slower and textural new song "No Impediment To Triumph (Bhopal)". A deeply resonant number that lyrically sheds light on the horrific Bhopal Gas Tragedy of 1984. Without question, "No Impediment…" is truly a powerful and poignant moment for this legendary band.
01. No Light Escapes – Converge
02. Wolverine Blues – Converge
03. Will By Mouth – Napalm Death
04. No Impediment To Triumph (Bophal) – Napalm Death
You can purchase the split for a measly $3. Don't even act like you can't afford it. Check out some samples below if you're curious or somehow wary.

Elijah: Jack Bauer of the Old Testament
- Friday, July 01, 2011
If there was ever a larger-than-life superhero in the Bible it is Elijah. This mountain man of Gilead was a one-man wrecking crew in Israel, speaking truth to power at great risk to his life.
Elijah was just the man Israel needed. It was ruled by the corrupt duo of Ahab and Jezebel, who introduced the worship of the weather god, Baal, and his mistress, Ashterah. For three-and-a-half years, Elijah spoke out against the worship of this false god and called Israel and its leaders to repentance.
When you read the story in 1 Kings 17, its hard to believe Elijah was human. Consider all he accomplished:
- He defiantly prophesied to King Ahab that God would stop the rain in Israel for three years. The Israelites depended on early rains in the fall season and the latter rains in the springtime to grow their crops. A drought of this magnitude would usher in a country-wide famine. But Eljiah boldly declared that God, not Baal, was in charge of the rain. (1 Kings 17:1).
- He miraculously expanded a God-fearing widow's meager provisions of food in the midst of the country-wide famine. (1 Kings 17:7-16)
- He raised this same widow's only son from the dead. (1 Kings 17:17-24)
- He engaged the prophets of Baal in a duel of the gods on Mt. Carmel, testifying before all of Israel that Jehovah was the one true God and that Baal was an impotent god of stone. (1 Kings 18:1-40)
- He prayed down rain from Heaven again as God stopped the famine in Israel. (1 Kings 18:41-45)
- He outran Ahab's chariot. (1 Kings 18:46)
Did you get that last one? He even outran Ahab's chariot. Amazing stuff. If there was ever a Bible character that makes you blush, it's Elijah. He's seemingly super-human. He's the Jack Bauer of the Old Testament.
But there's a part of Elijah's life that doesn't often get told. This is the scene that would get left on the cutting room floor. This is the chapter the editor would delete.
You turn to 1 Kings 19 and you can hardly believe what you read. This is just after Elijah's epic spiritual victory on Mt. Carmel, so you'd think you'd find Elijah celebrating. But there's no postgame champagne for this guy.
Intead, we find this Bible superhero in the fetal position, miles from the city, under a juniper tree. He's crying and asking God to take his life.
This is not something we expect from our superheroes. They are made of something bigger than this. They don't cry. They don't break down. They certainly don't ask God to take their lives.
But Elijah does. Why? Well it turns out that while all of Israel returned to the worship of Jehovah, Queen Jezebel didn't. In fact, she threatened Elijah with death.
Now you would think Elijah would easily say, "Okay, God just brought down fire on the altar, I think He can handle this one." But Elijah was physically and emotionally spent. And the one person he wished would have come to faith rejected him. He didn't see the entire nation bowing down. He only saw Jezebel rejecting him.
But something happened under that juniper tree that redirected Elijah. God changed Elijah's theology.
You see, there really are no spiritual superheroes. The Bible only has one hero, Jesus. All the rest are humans like the rest of us (James 5:17). Because God doesn't expect us to be superhuman, only human.
I find it interesting how God cured Elijah's depression. He didn't sign him up for a Tuesday night Bible study. He didn't lash him with the Scriptures. He didn't tell him to fast and pray.

Don't let its small size and low price fool you. It was designed to provide the minimum survival basics and cover you for food and water for 72 hours (3 days). This is not just some cheapo stripped down kit either. We consider this kit to have the minimum of what you need.
A stunning find for the bike and military enthusiast... Dated 1944. They literally don't make 'em like this anymore... this is the classic single-speed European touring style, made to be nothing less than an alternative to a car. Here's a spin through the remarkable style and components: Made solid, with steel touring frame.
U.S. made 7 strand 550 paracord. The best quality paracord made and you cxan't beat the price. Has endless uses. Coyote brown color, 50' length.
We would be glad to hear from you.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Kicker 41KSC654 by Alexander Hrabe Why replace your car's original speakers? The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience. Slim fit These KS Series speakers are some of the most installation-friendly Kicker speakers yet. These low-profile speakers feature a reduced mounting depth, making them a match for almost any car. And the refined, black grilles included with the package allow you to do a custom installation that'll knock people out. Pump up the volume While the low profile is an elegant asset, you'll find the real beauty of Kicker's KS Series speakers inside. The 41KSC654's highly sensitive design conjures hefty volume even from low-powered factory radios. So, you'll be able to enjoy every bit of their natural sound, starting with a full midbass and midrange experience from the 6-1/2" polypropylene woofer and its powerful magnet. You'll also hear subtle vocal and instrumental details from the silk dome tweeter, giving your music a dimension that factory speakers just can't manage. The 41KSC654 features a slim design, making it a perfect fit in more cars.

Features Polypropylene Woofer Cones: The Kicker KS-series speakers feature durable polypropylene woofer cones for power and control. Polypropylene is also resistant to moisture and the temperature extremes found in automotive applications. Dome Tweeters: The 3/4" silk dome tweeters provide a smooth high frequency response. Silk is lightweight and great for high frequency extension and efficiency. It is also designed for durability in the extreme automotive environment. The tweeters have strong neodymium magnets for higher power handling. Mounting: The speaker baskets have multiple mounting holes and are designed to fit a standard 3-hole 6-1/2" applications and Ford's 4-hole 6-1/2" application. They will also fit standard 4-hole 6-3/4" applications, but a speaker baffle must be used to seal the inner ring of screw holes. Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?)

I bought these speakers for my 2001 dodge ram 1500, although they are not designed to fit, I modified them to. It only took 10 minuets to hook them in because they came with a quick connect that was really easy to install. They have a nice sound too them, But I have to set my Bass to 0 to get them loud, if I don't they pop at higher volume. I'm kinda disapointed for what I spent for them, But I can buy better ones and put these in the back doors. Overall, good sound, But if you want descent Bass speakers, Buy something else. Pros: Clean sound, easy instaltion Cons: no bass 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Not for Jeep Written By Scott, Lees Summit on Monday, August 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these for a 2013 Jeep Wrangler to install in the sound bar. It says they fit this year and make. After adding them to the cart I see I get a free bracket and connectors with my purchase. Long story short... they don't fit. Brackets didn't help either. If the speakers are listed as fitting my vehicle, why do I need extra brackets to make them fit. I spent about 2 hours on a 30 min job trying to make this work. I tried these speakers in my 2014 and 2013 jeep. Both are the same but I decided the Infinity speakers in the 2014 sounded much better. I put them in the 2013 jeep, replacing the factory speakers. The factory speakers are 6.5. These are not 6.5 like it says on the box. Probably 5.75 or 5.5. I would say don't waste your time. These sound the same as the factory speakers. I would have returned these but it would cost more time and money to return $100 speakers. Pros: None Cons: Sound like factory speakers and not the size listed on box. Crutchfield response on Wednesday, August 13, 2014 Our Tech Support team reached out to the customer for more information. According to our database, these speakers should indeed fit in his sound bar, so if it turns out that they don't, we really do want to know about it. Speaker size does not really refer to the size of the cone, but just what application the speaker is designed to fit. Actual cone size varies by manufacturer and speaker line. And as for returning the speakers, if they don't fit as promised, then we'll waive the return shipping fee and refund the full price of the speakers. That's our standard, no-hassle, 60-day return policy.. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today."James Dean was an actor, born on 8 February 1931. He is best known for the movies Rebel Without a Cause, East of Eden, and Giant... with good reason, as these are the only three films in which he had a starring role. He was killed in a car accident on 30 September 1955 at the age of twenty-four. He was the first actor to receive a posthumous Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, and remains the only actor to have received more than one posthumous nomination.A symbol of cool for teenagers of the 1950s and nowadays for his being (reportedly) bisexual. His relatively short career and enduring popularity also makes him something of a real-life Ensemble Darkhorse.His roles were usually Troubled, but Cute guys with Freudian Excuses.

Dundee kitesurfer killed at Lincoln City
Jul 4, 2014 | 1 Comment
News-Register Staff
LINCOLN CITY — Wyle "Dale" Johnson, 49, of Dundee, has been identified by the Oregon State Police as the kitesurfer who died about 5 p.m. Thursday in the ocean off the beach at Roads End Recreation Site, located on the east end of Lincoln City.
Johnson was a member of Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue. He was a lieutenant at Station 35 in King City.
"Fellow firefighters said Dale loved his crew, his job and was someone who was passionate about everything he did — be it work or play," Tualatin Valley spokesperson Cassandra Ulven said. "He was an avid kitesurfer and enjoyed his time on the water."
OSP was notified that an adult male was being transported to Samaratin North Lincoln Hospital in Lincoln City after being found by a friend unresponsive in the water while kitesurfing. CPR was administered on the beach by the friend and fire personnel, but Johnson was pronounced dead at the hospital.
In addition to OSP, North Lincoln Fire & Rescue, Pac West ambulance and Lincoln City police also responded.
Johnson started his career as a volunteer firefighter in Jackson County, Oregon, according to a release issued by Tualatin Valley. In 1995, he joined the agency as a firefighter/paramedic, and in 2006, was promoted to lieutenant.
Since 2011, Johnson was assigned to the King City station.
"Dale Johnson was a good firefighter, a good lieutenant and a good man," Tualatin Valley Chief Mike Duyck said. "The men and women at TVF&R will miss him, and our hearts go out to his family."

The Community Rating is the school's average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.
The certified teacher was only present a few hours in the morning. The rest of the day is run like a daycare. When I pulled up, teachers were texting on the playground with kids on HIGH play structures. (Do not be lured in by cool-looking playground!!!!!) Kids behaviors are not redirected when harsh toward each other. I did not feel the school was teaching respect and problem-solving with preschool-aged children. It was disappointing and I had to take my child to a different location.
My daughter is a student in the Green Room. She absolutely adores Miss Becky and Miss Kim. She talks endlessly about the songs that were sung and the stories that were read during her time at school. Everyone is so welcoming and warm at Red Bell. I truly feel that Red Bell is a second home for our family.
Staff is great - especially Ms. Susan - and the playground is amazing. I love that they involve the parents in lesson plans and provide opportunities for myself and my husband to participate in celebrations. Only concerns are lack of alternative quiet activities for children that have outgrown naps - this is a constant source of frustration for my son that attends 3 full days per week - and I wish more professional staffing were provided during the afternoons instead of just morning sessions. All in all, I would definitely recommend them. Also worth mentioning that they offer a lot of flexibility in scheduling, which is helpful when both parents work outside of the home. My son has loved his time there and when his brother turns 3, we will definitely have Red Bell on the list!
Red Bell's staff is extremely friendly and communicates with the parents very well. Monthly calendars are given out letting us know upcoming projects (which are very creative). Pictures are emailed out almost weekly. Not to mention they have an awesome play area.

ALERT: Your call to me is free - 952-473-5405 to discuss your case and the very important issues currently being litigated. In April, 2013, the United States Supreme Court held that a police officer must obtain a warrant from a judge before taking a test from a DWI suspect in Missouri. Questions regarding whether the state can use test results and/or test refusals to prosecute drivers and to take away their licenses, plates and vehicles. These issues are still being litigated in the Minnesota Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, especially in the context of the making Test Refusal a CRIME, and whether a police officer can properly threaten prosecution for that potentially unconstitutional crime in order to get a driver to consent to a blood, breath or urine test.

Paul B. Ahern has been practicing law since 1983 when he was admitted to the Minnesota Bar. In 1987, he was admitted to the U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota. Mr. Ahern is a member of the Minnesota Society for Criminal Justice; the Criminal Section of the Minnesota Bar Association; and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
At the begining of his career, Mr. Ahern worked as a City Prosecutor and Assistant County Attorney learning the process from the inside. Since the mid 1980s, he has worked as a defense attorney helping clients achieve the very best outcome in the criminal justice system.
A DWI in the State of Minnesota is a serious crime that requires an aggressive and knowledgeable lawyer.
Drunk driving involves the act of operating and/or driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs to the degree that mental and motor skills are impaired. DWI laws also apply to recreational vehicles including boats, all-terrain vehicles and the piloting of an airplane.
Many judges will place a first-time offender in jail. There are increased penalties for repeat offenders and even first-time offenders who test .20 or more or who have a child under 16 in the vehicle. There are tough, mandatory jail terms even for persons convicted on a Second DWI.
1- Does your fee include challenging the license revocation in court? That means an implied consent case started with a Petition for Judicial Review.
My Response: Yes, I will challenge it. Your license revocation can be used for purposes of higher insurance costs, motor vehicle forfeitures and increased future penalties. You have a thirty day time limit to have your lawyer challenge the revocation. It is important to act promptly in hiring a lawyer. Don't wait a month or more or until your first court date to contact an attorney.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings help in-house counsel and other sophisticated buyers of legal services identify, evaluate and select the most appropriate lawyer for a specific task at hand. Lawyer Ratings serve as an objective indicator that a lawyer has the highest ethical standards and professional ability and are used by buyers of legal services to justify their hiring decisions.
Communications with you, my client, is very important to me. As an experienced lawyer, I recognize that this is an especially challenginging time for you and you need to know I will be responsive. You will likely have a lot of questions and concerns throughout the process. We will have open channels for direct and responsive communications.
Mr. Ahern represents clients throughout the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, surrounding areas in Anoka County, Hennepin County, Ramsey County, Dakota County, Sherburne County, Wright County, Washington County and greater Minnesota.
Though the majority of Mr. Ahern's clients reside in the Twin Cities, his practice is statewide. He has represented clients from Hibbing to Worthington, from Marshall to Wabasha. In 1983, he worked for District Judges in Southwestern Minnesota's 5th Judicial District.
Minnesota's DWI laws can be harsh including mandatory jail sentences, mandatory treatment dictated by probation officers, fines, civil penalties, license revocations and more. Under many circumstances, the police will seize your car, your boat, your RV, or other vehicle. Get the legal help you need from only an experienced DWI lawyer. Call me immediately. The phone call is FREE and there is no commitment.

Excitement for the Paradise Artist Retreat's return to the Tamaya Resort in New Mexico is building every day! From March 30-April 2nd, this truly unique event will bring together scores of artists of all skill levels for four days of inspiration, learning, and art creation led by Guy Aitchison, Jeff Gogue, Shawn Barber, Nick Baxter, Gabe Leonard, Hannah Aitchison, Chet Zar and Grant Standard. Highlights of the retreat include a series of high-powered workshops with these noted instructors, along with morning figure drawing sessions, evening panel talks, and an open studio art room where artists can work side by side on projects of their choosing. On Thursday afternoon the event opens to the public and many of the artists will have works and merchandise for sale.
Seminar and workshop topics covered throughout the weekend include a visionary art workshop with Alex and Allyson Grey. Guy plans to go into detail about translating your visions from your mind to your artistic medium, while Jeff Gogue will focus on his energetic painting technique. Heads and hands will be led by Shawn Barber, and Hannah Aitchison will lead a figure drawing session with special emphasis on understanding the design aspects of the human figure. Chet Zar will lead a group painting session, and Nick Baxter will get into detail about his holistic process, where concept, design and execution all come together into a single big picture. It's a well rounded suite of workshops intended to benefit almost any creative person who is interested in learning.
The artist pass includes entry into all seminars from all the featured teachers, as well as the morning figure drawing classes and discussion panels. Of course, many artists will have originals and prints for sale, which can be displayed by their art setup in the open studio space. The event will be open to the public on the final day, providing an opportunity to show and sell original works or other merchandise.
The Tamaya resort is a tranquil, picturesque location just north of Albuquerque- the perfect setting for artists to get away, hit reset, and return home with a fresh perspective as well as a few new technical tricks. If you are a creative person, the Paradise Artist Retreat is truly a unique, humbling and empowering event that you should experience at least once. Tickets are available now at our online store, and you can save $150 by signing up before January 31 to get the Early Bird rate. We are also offering a studio special where you can get four tickets at a discounted rate and bring the whole shop. We hope to see you there!

Yesterday the Buffalo Bills, and Marcell Dareus were back in the news, and not less than a month ago Dareus has brought more negative attention to the Bills. It seems to me he is either unable to change, or he is just ignorant.
There has been some debate over what the Bills should do with Dareus; I think he needs to be cut. No one can dispute he has talent, but talent alone gets you a pay check; talent alone gets you a ticket to Hawaii, but it does not make you a good person, or a player I want on the Bills. Talent does not give you the right to run around the country breaking the law and expecting nothing more than a slap on the wrist.
The state or fact of being ignorant : lack of knowledge, education, or awareness
Dareus needs to rethink how he spends his off time. At 24 years-old and $3.124 million a year he can no longer blame this on being to young. This behavior has become a habit, one that the NFL and the Bills are only reenforcing if they do not suspend or cut him. It was only three weeks ago I wrote an article on Dareus, and could the Bills draft his replacement. Now it seem they may have no choice.
Let me be clear, I want nothing more than to see the Buffalo Bills win, and Dareus could help with that, but I've had enough. It is time for the Bills to move on. More than likely Buffalo will be without his services for a while anyhow. Dareus will be a free agent in 2016, but I seriously doubt he will be under contract with the Bills for much longer.

Garden Pergola Kits
If you're going to have a pergola in your garden it's a good idea to make sure that you plan your pergola kit design well. Ensure that you measure up the area you want the pergola to fill carefully and then design your pergola to fit the space.
There are many different pergola designs and you should choose one that is in keeping with your garden. For a rustic and informal garden you might choose a pergola design in wood. If your garden is more formal then you should choose a design with clear straight lines and you may find metal may be a more suitable material.

Brady Bigalke: Director of 'Switzerland' and founder of Noble Light Productions
Have you ever felt like there's a World War inside of you? I have ... it's called making a music video on a low budget. Six months ago NobleLight teamed up with The Dewars in St. Augustine, Florida to represent their song 'Switzerland'. 'Switzerland' compares the internal battle in one's self with the historic battles in World War II. I have lived in St. Augustine for 7 years now and heard a lot of music around town but it wasn't until this dynamic duo hit the scene that a light went off. I was doing my thing, drinking a PBR at No Name Bar and there it was ... Switzerland. A few weeks and a hundred plays of their song later, I met with Anthony and Zachary Dewar at Cafe 11 with a concept and an open mind.
Since the main subject is World War II, I knew right away I wanted to combine their twin powers with some historic footage and personalities in a stylish way - not just your straight forward live-action video. After more brainstorming and obsessing, I decided to pick up some good ol' fashion green screen armor and test it out. We liked where it was headed and I knew it was going to be a gruesome battle in post but my passion for music and history would keep me fighting for the vision.
|Filming at the Castillo de San Marcos Fort
For the look of the different countries involved (Germany, Switzerland, England, America) I thought we were going to have to do a little traveling to find the right locations. But fortunately we were able to find all of them right here in St. Augustine, a melting pot of heritage influences since 1565.
There was five days of shooting and over 200 hours of editing. To assemble it all I used Photoshop, Motion 4 and Final Cut Studio 7 with over 15 layers on the timeline and a number of key frames and rotoscopes. I couldn't have done it without my iMac, yoga ball and coffee. It was another brutal battle in St. Augustine but one of the first that no one got hurt.
I always enjoy projects that I get to collaborate with other artists and I really appreciate the amount the input, ideas and care The Dewars have for their work. This scene below is the intro of the video but we filmed it last.
