“The First Time I Ran Away” is a beautifully animated music video for M. Ward’s new solo album, “A Wasteland Companion,” set for release on Merge April 10th. The “Him” from the indie music group She & Him is Matthew Stephen Ward, known by his stage name M. Ward, a singer-songwriter and guitarist who rose to prominence in the Portland, Oregon music scene. The delightful animated video was directed by Joel Trussell and his team of animators, who use M. Ward’s lyrics as a basis to tell the three-part story following a girl who’s run away with her pet llama and fish. The soft, pastel colors are a perfect companion to M. Ward’s soothing voice.
This piece includes colorful illustrations and the wonderful animated music video.

In the Florida Primary, there were no surprises. Romney beat Gingrich by a 14% margin, largely because he spent almost ten times what Gingrich spent on advertising. Santorum was a distant third and Ron Paul mattered so little that he could not even pull 10%. Gingrich was such a bad loser that he did not even give Romney the customary phone call congratulating him. Romney won 50 delegates, but that’s more complicated than meets the eye. We’ll go into that. Also, we’ll cover the Important Election...In the Florida Primary, there were no surprises. Romney beat Gingrich by a 14% margin,... more

Yesterday Suzanne Bonamici (D) and David Cornilles (R) debated to fill the vacancy in Oregon’s First Congressional District of the US House to be filled in a special election on January 31. To someone politically knowledgeable, Bonamici was the clear winner. To the uniformed, it might not have been so obvious. Here are my observations.Yesterday Suzanne Bonamici (D) and David Cornilles (R) debated to fill the vacancy in... more

The news is good for the people of Oregon’s First Congressional District. In the race to fell the seat vacated by former Rep. David Wu, endorsements for Suzanne Bonamici (D) are pouring in, and she has opened a wide margin in the polls over faux-moderate Rob Cornilles (R), as this article by Kari Chisolm demonstrates.The news is good for the people of Oregon’s First Congressional District.

As an Oregonian I must say I'm Proud as for not being a Republican well I find him lets just say Republican.
By: Jeff Skrzypek
EUGENE, Ore. -- Mark Callahan has ran for state legislature, county commissioner and for the school board. Though he has lost all of those bids, the election hopeful is setting his sights for the White House.
Callahan's name has become familiar for many folks in town for the numerous times he's ran for positions in local races and lost. But Callahan says failure just isn't in his vocabulary and wants to give running for president a shot.
He's a registered Republican candidate and has a website he's using to raise funds for his campaign. Callahan says he knows many people doubt him based on his prior track record, but he says it's been a long-term goal to run for president. Callahan says he takes his campaign seriously despite the odds stacking heavily against his favor.
"I haven't been elected but I think I can better relate to the people that are voting because I keep on trying, I keep on trying," said Callahan.
Callahan says he's looks up to former presidents like Abraham Lincoln who also lost elections before becoming the president.
Callahan says right now he's focused on raising enough money to travel to campaign hot spots like Iowa and New Hampshire.
He even planning on trying to get into a debate being held in Las Vegas.

We returned to the scene of our September, 2010 plastic collection at Crescent Beach in Oregon (See "Plastic Beaches" on this YouTube channel) to find that the ocean has already restocked the beach with plastic of all shapes and sizes. This plastic kills birds and fish, so we also interviewed the director of the Wildlife Center of the North Coast, Sharnelle Fee, to get her thoughts about the threats marine pollution poses.We returned to the scene of our September, 2010 plastic collection at Crescent Beach... more

I know I have not been online for a few weeks, and there is a minor and major reason as to why. The minor reason is because I am taking some very... compressed, classes that take a standard 10 week quarter and compress it into 4 weeks. It makes for some very intense reading and homework. The major reason I will get at in a bit, but before that, I have a story I would like to share.
On Friday, June the 10th of this year, a car was broken into at a little park in Lane County Oregon called Zumwalt Park. The couple who drove the car were out on a walk with their dogs when this happened, and returned to the car to realize that the passenger side window had been smashed in and the lady's purse had been removed from the vehicle. The couple called the sheriff to inform the local law enforcement of what had happened and the dispatch informed the couple that they would send a deputy out to meet them at their home and report what had happened. So the couple got into the car, the gentlemen driving and the lady in the back with the dogs to keep them from from getting in the passenger seat that was covered in shattered glass.
Lo and behold, when the couple arrived home, their front door was unlocked and slightly ajar. A quick inspection of the inside of the house showed that only two things were missing in the household. Two laptop computers. The thieves who stole her purse from the car had learned her address from her drivers license, and had used the keys that were in her purse to open the door. Again, the couple contacted the sheriffs office, this time to inform them of a burglary. The sheriffs office told them that they would be out to investigate the crime in about an hour.
The lady spent about three hours canceling the credit cards that were in her stolen purse and the gentlemen called the sheriffs again after an hour and a half went by with no deputy, and again after another hour and a half.
It was not until the next day, around noon, that the deputy made it to the residence to take a report of the crime and the damages done. By this time the lady's credit card companies had called to inform her that one of her credit cards had been used to purchase a little over $100 worth of a prepaid phone card online through Verizon. When the lady was made aware of this, she called up Verizon to inform them that the phone card had been purchased with her stolen credit card and that she desired to know who had purchased the phone card.
After confirming that her credit card had indeed been used to purchase a phone card, and after confirming that the card had been reported stolen, Verizon informed the lady that they could not give her any information about the purchaser of the phone card without a name and a phone number despite the fact that the phone card was obviously purchased with her stolen credit card.
A short while later, the credit card company informed the lady that her card had also been used, before she canceled it, at precisely 8:30PM at a Shell gas station near downtown Eugene which has video surveillance. The lady called the Shell station to find out the the video is all digital, is kept on a server in Ohio, and that video is only kept for 30 days before it is erased. She also found out that the request to retrieve the video must come from a law enforcement official. On the following Monday, the couple informed the sheriffs office of the video which could very well have the vehicle and license plate number of the criminals.
To the date of this post, the sheriffs office of Lane County has yet to do squat about retrieving the surveillance video or pressuring Verizon to release any of the information of the criminal who purchased the phone card that was worth over $100.
This is where the major reason of why I have not been online for a while comes in. I am the gentleman of that couple, and my computer was one of the two stolen from our own home. We have been harassing the sheriffs office to do their job, but we would be appreciative to others who might want to call the sheriffs department's dispatch, which is non-emergency, and join in the harassment. The number can be found on the bottom of this page.
http://www.lanecounty.org/Departments/Sheriff/Pages/default.aspx
Please use the General Information or Non Emergency numbers.
As for Verizon, we'd appreciate any harassment towards them that we can get. If you are a customer, please e-mail or call them and let them know how you feel about a company that is so interested in short term profits that it will protect the information of criminals in order to secure the business of criminals. And if you are not a customer, please do it anyways just to harass them a bit.
I thank you for any support you can give, and for any of you who might want to help "motivate" the Lane County Sheriff or Verizon, I encourage you to have fun, but remember to keep it at least somewhat civil.I know I have not been online for a few weeks, and there is a minor and major reason... more
