OER Project – Peggy O'Sullivan, Instructor
Medicine Hat College (MHC) LibrOERy Project
October 23, 2015
Influenza virion – photo credit: Frederick Murphy
This week the LibrOERy team was interviewed by Campus Alberta OER initiative for the Campus Alberta website. We were asked to provide some background on the project, advantages for students and instructors, importance of OER projects and what excited us the most in regards to our project.
(i) Description and Goals:
The LibrOERy project involved the assimilation of open educational microbiology resources into textbook form for 60 first year nursing students at MHC taking CMMB250, an introductory microbiology course. Denise Holt, library researcher, researched the CMMB250 OER textbook material. I reviewed and assembled the material into chapters to fit my curriculum and lecture schedule. Our copyright officer, Chelsey Reid helped ensure it fit copyright regulations. The OER draft is now in the hands of Andrea Woods, graphic designer and multimedia developer. She is assembling the material into a book form that we will post online once the OER text is completed.
Our goal was to have an OER textbook completed in time for the Winter 2016 term. We are well on schedule and our OER textbook will be finished several weeks before term starts in January 2016. We started this project in May 2015. It quickly become apparent to Denise and I that we didn't have much time to meet our deadline. It was a very time consuming project completed under very short timelines thanks to the hard working team members. We all agree that more time and compensation is necessary for OER projects undertaken in the future.
(ii) Advantages to Students:
The CMMB250 microbiology OER textbook offers students a huge cost savings (approximately $200) and is freely available online. Students don't need to purchase an expensive textbook that they'll only use for one course.
(iii) Advantages to Educators:
As an instructor the OER project gave me the flexibility to choose and assemble lecture material to meet my curriculum rather than having to match my lecture material to a pre-published textbook. I was also able to include videos, assignments, review questions and animation into my OER lecture notes and chapters, things I couldn't do using a publishers textbook.
(iv) Importance of OER's
The great thing about OER projects is that the material will be in the public domain and anyone can legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share it. Not only do my MHC nursing students benefit from our LIbrOERy microbiology text, but anyone around the world can enhance their knowledge by accessing our material.
(v) What excites us about this project?
I had a great team working with me on this project. We are proud of the fact that MHC students can freely access microbiology material and that we are making microbiology available to everyone, everywhere. We are also proud that we were able to put this project together in such a short time period.

Welcome back, TV lovers! This week, Once Upon a Time featured Cinderella (Jessy Schram) with a shotgun tracking down her stepsister in Storybrooke. Meanwhile, on Agents of SHIELD, Jemma races against the clock to save Agent May's life, while the rest of the team investigate blackouts by a so-called Inhuman Resistance.
Once Upon a Time 6×03, "The Other Shoe"
Okay, I'll suck it up and say it: this was a good episode. But I had a hard time watching it, because I'm bitter that it makes events implied on OUaT in Wonderland not canon. The whole time I was watching Clorinda and Jacob's little love story play out, I kept thinking "This should've been Will and Anastasia."
Emma's therapy sessions with Archie continue, where she admits the tremors and visions are hindering her magic. Regina plans to get information from Hyde about how her evil half can still be alive after crushing her heart. Unfortunately, her evil counterpart beat her to the punch, so Hyde's mum on the issue. But perhaps a partnership between Doctors Jekyll and Frankenstein will yield something fruitful. Meanwhile, Ashley tracks down her recently-arrived stepsister, Clorinda. It seems as though Ashley/Ella wants revenge, but in fact she's looking to apologize.
In flashbacks, we learn that the night Cinderella met her prince, she changed several lives. Clorinda, the supposed evil stepsister, was just as much a victim of Lady Tremaine's abusive parenting as Ella. She plans to run away with Jacob, her lover and the prince's footman. Ella encourages them to go to the Land of Untold Stories, where Mommie Dearest can't find them. Unfortunately, Ella is coerced into a confession and unable to stop her step-mother's actions. Lady Tremaine assaults Jacob and drags Clorinda to the Land of Untold Stories as punishment.
In the present, Emma tracks down the dysfunctional family reunion: a bitter Clorinda's heart softens when she reunites with Jacob, but Lady Tremaine shoots Ashley/Ella. Emma finds the power to heal her, and, despite her concerns about the future, asks Hook to move in with her. By far, my favorite moments were not major plot developments: Snow and David striving to find normalcy in Storybrooke, Dr. Frankenstein returning, and Billy the mechanic's cameo in Ella's flashbacks as Gus!
Agents of SHIELD 4×03, "Uprising"
Oye qué pasó, blackout blackout! Several major cities, including Miami and Los Angeles, experience a sudden loss of power, and an Inhuman Resistance claims responsibility. The faceless group claims to oppose The Sokovia Accords and Registration, but it's a sham by The Watchdogs. The militant, anti-inhuman group has gotten their hands on the government's registration list and uses the blackouts to target and kill Inhumans. One such target is Elena "Yo-Yo" Rodriguez in Miami: she teams up with Mack, Fitz, and Coulson to track down the EMP the group is using and turn the lights back on.
While going to rescue his stranded, wheelchair-bound brother, Robbie Reyes tells Daisy that his Uncle Eli used to work for Momentum Labs. So Eli probably has something to do with the Darkhold and whatever experiment caused the ghosts we met last episode. The same folks whose touch has driven May to insanity and an imminent death unless Jemma and Dr. Radcliffe can stop it. They succeed with the human equivalent of "turning it off and turning it back on again." And following Coulson's advice, Director Mace uses the recents events to publicly announce SHIELD's return as a legitimate agency.
Season four is doing a phenomenal job showing the affects of The Sokovia Accords, much more than Civil War did. Parminder Nagra appeared as Rota Nadeer, a political pundit who's very public about her Anti-Inhuman leanings. In private, she's the one who financed the Watchdog blackouts. I'm interested in finding out more about her motivations; we were given a glimpse at her "brother", who looks like someone that didn't survive terrigenesis.

Over the last several weeks I've noticed that a large number of my clients and employees have come down with a bad cold. They have been dropping like flies.
We work in healthcare, so we should know how to deal with this kind of thing. If you are sick, stay home and rest. Recuperate. Above all, don't try to be a hero and come to work when you're sick; all you'll do is pass on your germs to your co-workers. I get so annoyed when I see those cold medicine commercials on TV that promised to treat your symptoms so you'll be able to go to work or continue with your routine. If you're sick, you should rest and give yourself time to heal. Pushing through it is not a good solution.
Today I have a cold. A bad cold. Interestingly, last week I had three co-workers with bad colds who came to work and refused to stay home. They each eventually decided to take a sick day, but only after spending time in the office with a full blown illness. Believe me when I tell you that I encourage employees who are sick to go home and stay home! I was also in meetings with clients who clearly should have been at home but who claimed to no longer be contagious. I wasn't convinced. If you need a good rationale for staying home from work when you're under the weather, check out this article from Forbes, "Three Reasons to Stop Coming to Work Sick."
In many ways, we have a warped perspective of health and healthcare in America. We need to start using common sense. When you're not feeling well, is the best solution to rush to the urgent care and get a prescription for antibiotics, looking for the quick fix? Is it smart to dose yourself up with cold meds and then head to work? Or is it better to slow down for a couple of days and give your body a chance to recover? Drink fluids and get some rest. What's so important that you can't take care of yourself?
This phenomenon, where sick employees come to work, is known as "presenteeism." Here's an excerpt from an article about presenteeism from Harvard Business Review (October 2004):
"Presenteeism, as defined by researchers, isn't about malingering (pretending to be ill to avoid work duties) or goofing off on the job (surfing the Internet, say, when you should be preparing that report). The term—which has gained currency despite some academics' uneasiness with its somewhat catchy feel—refers to productivity loss resulting from real health problems. Underlying the research on presenteeism is the assumption that employees do not take their jobs lightly, that most of them need and want to continue working if they can."
The same Harvard Business Review article cites a study that claims that presenteeism in the United States costs businesses more than $150 billion per year (Source: American Productivity Audit, Stewart). It's worth noting that only some of that can be attributed to employees showing up for work with the flu, some bug or the common cold. But the point remains: people coming to work with a bad cold are not doing anyone a favor. Rather, they are most likely prolonging their illness and risking spreading that illness to their co-workers.
I'm done with my rant. Stay healthy. Wash your hands frequently. And if you're sick, don't come into the office! Do it for your co-workers.

File size: 24 MB
Date added: April 8, 2015
Price: Free
Operating system: Windows XP/Vista/7/8

Straightforward interface: As soon as you open this app, you're ready to start mapping out your thoughts. However, keep in mind that MS Office macros don't always work on Cartea Despre Femei Osho. Fortunately, there are dozens of apps that allow you to do this, providing an additional layer of customization for all of your photos. If you are used to Apple's OS X Terminal application, after initiating the program you will be greeted with a very familiar interface, only with new icons and features on the toolbar. We tested this program on Mac OS X 10.8.4. From there you can rotate an image 90 degrees within a frame or create a mirror image of the shot using the Transform features. While useful, Cartea Despre Femei Osho for Mac doesn't strike us as necessary, not for most users at least. File comparison: The Find Differences feature presents a list of files, with bullets indicating those Cartea Despre Femei Osho to be different. The app starts slowly the first time as it loads the news sources. The program's interface appears dated, with graphics and text labels that are not up to the level of modern strategy games. To enjoy this app, though,
you will have to buy the paid version; the annoying watermark makes the trial version good only for testing the app's features.Cartea Despre Femei Osho for Mac enables you to convert Wikipedia pages into podcasts with no hassle so that you can listen to them on your smartphone, tablet, or eBook reader. Users can immediately use the program on their accounts or play with it using a sample document. Confusing presentation: Each cause lists an action you can take that will allow you to contribute $3 or $5, at a time, but then it lists the
activity three times. There are ads that pop up from time to time in this free app, and there's no option to remove them, but they're not too intrusive. If not, you're mostly stuck with what the app gives you. Just enter the URL of the site, type a name for the app, choose a location, and an icon, and that's it - no programming knowledge required. Nice design: There are some nice design touches built into this game that you may not expect, but that make it more fun to play. Just choose the object you want to animate, hit the animate button in the top toolbar, and Cartea Despre Femei Osho lets you choose from a number of effects to bring more pop to your presentation. The first time you open Cartea Despre Femei Osho for Mac, you will be greeted with a sheet containing several sample notes. It's easy to use and offers a number of other options, as well, including strobe lights, glow sticks, candles, neon lights, and more.

Entering its fourth year of existence, Metaphysical Circuits finally has a German Army release for your perusal. Here, GeAr are a duo – P(eter) K(ris) and GT – wheeling and weaving minimalist cogs and cogitations; eerie synth quilts and dark-matter atmospheres; druggy dungeon dirges. Fuzzy on the surface; rewarding with deeper immersion (headphones and/or head-shop hauls?)

Since first establishing its elusive roots in some undetermined location in 2011, German Army has led a darkly addicting, fascinatingly consistent run of surreal dirges on some of the most revered outsider imprints in the game, including Night People, A Giant Fern, Monofonus, Skrot Up, Burka For Everybody, and Yerevan Tapes. Peter Kris, the project's "known" bandleader, brandishes a flurry of post-industrial vignettes, tinged with dubby effects, atonal clatter, and shimmering, uncanny beauty. On 'Yanomami,' German Army tightens its approach to hypnotic, vaguely plunderphonic approach to its signature rhythmic sound collages. Tracks like "Serve in Aramaic," "Tomochic Rebellion," and "Advanced Prophecy" speak to scenes both doomed and hopeful, churning through bleak beats and flanked by distorted odds and ends. "Blue Gold Show" and "Copyist" channel some spiritual cousin to Cabaret Voltaire, Ministry, Seefeel, careening in a metallic drift of mechanical movements and blissful melodies. 'Yanomami' is the latest chapter in German Army's sublimely sardonic campaign.

Caustic ritual suffocation from the mysterious and prolific duo of German Army. Something unknowable, that refuses to remain unknown. Rejections of anonymity.

Forty five hand assembled copies, professionally dubbed on chrome tape. Inserts duplicated directly on individual pages of a 1962 copy of the novel The Wizard Of Linn, by A.E. Van Vogt.

From the dehydrated and dilapidated outskirts of San Bernardino County, German Army releases its latest sonic document, "Millerite Masai." This exceptionally rhythmic-heavy release constructs itself with a wide palette of percussive timbres and abrasive drones. It's from these foundations that the group extends its explorative nature toward new sounds and textures.
"Millerite Masai" sees the deeply modulated vocals of Peter Kris replaced with found audio of disembodied voices and dialogs unknown. This departure from a lead vocal source provides listener's with a particular focus on the construction, abstraction and destruction of the given motifs within each track. Most songs here seem to pull their primary melodies from modes that could be found in eastern end of the world, and considering this release comes courtesy of Yerevan Tapes, this Eurasian influence might be more than just coincidence.
In fact, it might point to some of the inspiration for the heavy soundscapes that range from the desolate and deserted to the thriving and intense – perhaps pulling from the various landscapes of the Caucasus.

Our approach is novel in that the objects to be clustered capture the domain's action themes at a primitive level, and the essential attributes are uncovered via semantic analysis. We provide automatic support to complement domain analysis by quickly identifying important entities and functionalities. A second contribution is our recognition of stakeholders' different goals in cluster analysis, e.g., feature identification for users versus system decomposition for designers. We thus advance the literature by examining requirements clusters that overlap and those causing a minimal information loss, and by facilitating the discovery of product line variabilities. A proof-of-concept example is presented to show the applicability and usefulness of our approach.PB IEEE Computer Society, [URL:http://www.computer.org]SN LA EnglishDO 10.1109/SPLC.2008.11LK http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/SPLC.2008.11

Doesn't look like things will be letting up any time soon and seeing as I've been falling asleep pretty early these days, I haven't been able to watch many movies. I will get around to the second part of that Thanksgiving weekend round-up though, because I want to get to my Squirm and Return to Sleepaway Camp (love that movie!). But, I've got some time now and I've been doing some trade reading so here we go.
SCALPED: DEAD MOTHERS (VOL. 3) (Vertigo/DC)
Written by Jason Aaron, Drawn by John Paul Leon, R.M. Guera & Davide Furno
Scalped is one of those books that I got to late in the game and have yet to actually catch up to the monthly issues, so I'm mostly grabbing the trades from the library as they come out. I dig the story for the most part, especially because it takes me to a world that I'm otherwise unfamiliar with in the form of an Native American reservation. Plus, there's all kinds of action and intrigue and some great names (I especially like our main character's Dashiell Bad Horse).
This particular trade focuses mainly on Dashiell working on a dead hooker case because he promised her son that he would while others investigate his own mother's death. There's obviously a lot of history between Dash and pretty much everyone else on the reservation and Aaron does a good job of giving just enough details as we read to keep us from getting completely lost but also not overwhelming the reader with needles detail. It's a harder balance to achieve than you might think. I also like how the villain of the story, Lincoln Red Crow (the guy that Dash, an undercover agent is trying to pin a murder on) is more interested in finding his mother's killer (they used to be lovers) than Dash himself. But even he's got problems of his own as various outside forces are trying to push and pull him and the casino he runs.
Really, that's what I like about the series as a whole: there's a lot going on, but not too much. Aaron's got a great sense of pacing and knows when to throw in some kick ass action scenes to balance all the other personal aspects of the book. I'm really curious to see where the series goes (they introduced a new character in the form of honest reservation cop Franklin Falls Down who seems like he'll have a lot of potential). I'm also looking forward to seeing how Aaron writes a long form story like this one. I'm not sure if there's an end point in mind that he's working towards, but I've only read a handful of his other books, some I liked, some I didn't, so I hope he ends this one with a bang.
Written by Alan Moore, Drawn by Stephen Bissette, John Totleben & Shawn McManus
This is the second Swamp Thing trade collecting Alan Moore's run on the book that helped launch his career and shoot comics to whole new levels. To me, it's one of the last few epic comic runs that I haven't read yet, so I'm glad to finally get to it (though I don't have any more of the trades, so we'll see how that goes), which is too bad because I really dug this book and am curious to see where it goes.
Most of the trade follows the developing relationship between Swamp Thing and Abigale including her short-lived death. There are all kinds of horror elements bouncing around these pages, including Swamp Thing's visit to the afterlife which boasts guest spots by Etrigan, Phantom Stranger, Deadman and the Spectre. I really like how firmly Swamp Thing takes place in the DCU, proving that you can do Vertigo type stories in the same world that Superman flies around in (Sandman also did this on a few occasions).
I've also got to mention the semi sex scene between Swamp Thing and Abigale at the end of the last issue. It's not as gross as it might sound as Abby eats a fruit that Swamp Thing grows from his chest and then they go on a super-trippy ride that we become voyeurs to.
But I didn't like everything about this collection. There's a story called "Pog" which featured some tiny cartoon-like aliens landing on Earth hoping to find a new home to call their own. The story itself is interesting, but the problem is the dialogue. These aliens talk different, making up words that seem and sound an awful lot like English, but took me way too long to read as my brain kept trying to read the words I'm used to. Props to Alan for coming up with this new language, but it drove me a little crazy. Oh well. I'm probably going to ditch these trades in favor of the hardcovers they're putting out shortly (or is it out yet? I dunno).
Written & drawn by Mike Sekowsky
Man, I love these swinging Wonder Woman issues, each one is like a Roger Corman movie starring my favorite Star Spangled Amazon (missing her stars of course). For those of you who may not know, these Diana Prince tales follow Wonder Woman around after losing her powers and becoming a kung-fu boutique owner hanging out with blind martial arts master I Ching.
This volume not only collects Wonder Woman issues, but also a Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane issue in which the constantly swooning Lois gets jealous of Superman spending so much time with Wonder Woman who appears to have regained her powers. There's even this hilarious scene where Wonder Woman takes Superman to a club and he starts dancing so intensely that he almost sets the floor on fire, after which he thinks to himself: "Did I goof! I can't forget myself for an instant! That's the trouble with being super! I can't relax like ordinary people!" I don't want to ruin the ending, but it's your average cheesy silver age stuff (which is pretty different than the rest of the trade, because this particular story was written by Robert Kanigher).
There's also an issue of Brave and the Bold with Wonder Woman and I Ching in another country (though I don't think they ever say which one) in which a big car race is happening. It just so happens that Bruce Wayne is also there racing along with some bad dude (his name's not really important). Well, the bad dude tries to kill Bruce because he's such a good driver so Bruce calls Gotham and gets his buddy Batman to come race for him. There's actual panels with Batman driving and his cape shooting out behind him flapping in the wind. I had literally just watched a Roger Corman movie with similar themes that I had just watched (Young Racers). Man, that movie was boring (hey, look, a movie review!), but this comic is great.
The rest of the trade involves the return of Dr. Cyber along with an adventure to Hong Kong and the addition of a new young lady who Diana saves from THEM (always written in big red block letters) and then gives a job in her boutique. I really love how the series bounces around from somewhat typical superhero stuff to all kinds of other genres without missing a beat. There's also something fun about seeing Wonder Woman mingling with Superman and Batman even back in the late 60s/early 70s. These are great books for anyone even remotely interested in Wonder Woman or movies and TV from that time period, these are the books for you.
Written & drawn by Jack Kirby
I've had a very on again off again relationship with these New Gods Omnibi (Ominbuses?). Sometimes I'll get really into them but then I'll put the book down for weeks or even months at a time, which was the case with this, the last in series. The main reason is that, for reasons that are probably explained in the intro by Mark Evanier that I haven't read yet, Jack's books weren't doing so well and were canned, which means this book collects the last issues of The Forever People (which I liked a lot more than I thought I would), New Gods (my personal favorite of the ongoings) and then a bunch of Mr. Miracle issues (it lasted longer than the others), the new stories Jack created for the reprints and finally the Hunger Dogs graphic novel. The problem is that it's like watching a TV show that you know doesn't have a real ending, one that got canceled before it's time; all the pieces are good, but you're not sure about the pay off.
I read the FP and NG issues completely but ended up skimming the Mr. Miracle stuff as it wasn't really my favorite of the books. I did enjoy the final two stories though, because it felt like Jack was finally able to tell the story that he intended to tell years before. But, man, just think of how cool it would have been to see Jack get to do his thing for real. It's too bad because it feels like that's a huge missed opportunity, a story only preserved in the library of unwritten books. Oh well, I really like Hunger Dogs, especially the big huge collage spread that Jack did in the middle of it. Check it out and see how many Star Wars pictures you can find (I spotted the rear end of a Star Destroyer first).
Anyway, there's a pretty interested ending to Hunger Dogs that I'm not really sure how it was resolved later on when the New Gods re-entered the DCU. I did have a basic history explained to me by Rickey. He said that, basically, Jack created the New Gods, but after he left they just kind of sat around and no one used them until the Super Powers cartoon came along and was looking for a villain. They dug up Darkseid and he's been a dominating force of evil in the DCU ever since. For someone who's been reading comics since the early 90s, it's pretty crazy to think that there was a time when Darkseid and the rest of the New Gods weren't a big deal.
And finally, if you're like I was when I first started reading these books and think that these older stories don't really offer up much to a modern, more sophisticated reader, give them a try. Sean Collins helped me realize what I liked about these stories even when I wasn't quite sure if I actually liked them. The true art isn't in the words (the dialogue boxes are pretty easily skipped for the most part in my opinion), but in the art and the emotions and gut punches that Kirby is able to convey with his trademark pencils. Plus, if you can't find a certain amount of giddy joy in tracing the lines of a Kirby machine, I feel bad for you.
Okay, that's it for now. Hopefully I'll get another post in this week, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you (seriously, that'd be crazy).

A Dual SIM mobile phone is one which holds two SIM cards. They allow the use of two services without the need to carry two phones at the same time. The same phone or handset can be used for business and personal use with separate numbers and bills.
The Worlds leading mobile phone maker Nokia joins the bandwagon of Dual-SIM mobile phone after waiting for many years. It has introduced 2 low-cost dual SIM phones that support Dual-SIM and Dual Sim with dual standby respectively.

With the sun returning to the Northern hemisphere on Saturday 20th March, this officially marked the 'First Day of Spring' in 2010. If things were only that simple, here on the Isle of Mull! The six week period between the beginning of May and mid-June were previously regarded as being the best of the year, weather-wise, in the West Highlands. Consequently, these weeks became known as Springtime on Mull. However, with the advent of global warming, the seasons now appear to run into each other. So much so, 'Mull Magic' believes that only two seasons can be safely separated on the island - Winter and Winter with leaves on!
You don't have to venture far from the island's principal town, Tobermory, to enjoy an exhilarating walk, amid some of the most breathtakingly beautiful scenery in Scotland. The lighthouse at Rubha nan Gall ('Strangers' Point') is a strategic landmark that marks the Western entrance to the Sound of Mull. Built in 1857, by the grandfather of the author, Robert Louis Stevenson, the location offers exceptional views across the Sound to the village of Kilchoan, on the Ardnamurchan peninsula. In the distance, the Troll mountains of the Isle of Rum raise their heads high above the village. These mountains have Norse names, which are a present day reminder of the influence Vikings held in these Isles of the West, 1,000 years ago.
The Wheatear is one of the first Summer migrants to reappear on the Isle of Mull each Spring. Often showing face before March is out, the males are resplendent in their smart, nuptial attire. Looking like miniature highwaymen, with their black face masks, the all-singing-and-dancing males bring fresh colour and vitality to sheep pasture that has been all-too-quiet since their departure last Autumn.
Aros Park is a glittering jewel in Tobermory's crown, from where our guests today enjoyed the multi-coloured façade of the town's waterfront in the warm, afternoon sunshine. Formerly an active estate, the park fell into neglect, but was purchased by the Forestry Commission in 1959 and opened to the public in the late 1960's. A programme of scrub clearing, re-planting and general maintenance has reclaimed some of the park's glory from the past.
The extensive woodlands are home to a pleasing variety of local flora and fauna, including one of the island's earliest Spring flowers, the Lesser Celandine. A profusion of these attractive yellow-flowered plants, with heart-shaped leaves, carpet woods throughout the island in April. Plants in times gone by were used to treat parts of the body which they resembled. One of the colloquial names for this member of the buttercup family is pilewort, but, try as we might, 'Mull Magic' has failed miserably to see the connection!

Aerosmith's Joe Perry pays homage to his idol Chuck Berry with his own recording of "Run Rudolph Run", and it's about time.
According to Aerosmith's official fan website, AeroForceOne, "Joe has always loved Chuck Berry's and Keith Richards' version of this song and has wanted to record it for years now. He also wants to share it with all the fans right here at AF1."
A diverse list of artists who have covered the song include Bryan Adams, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Grateful Dead and Billy Idol, a testament to the long lasting recognition of the song first made popular by Chuck Berry in 1958.
Perry is reputed to be an ardent admirer of Berry, and it shows in his previous guitar work on songs like "My Girl" off Aerosmith's Pump (1990) and the axeman often employs Berry's trademark double-stop licks on his own guitar solos.
The recording, available for free download at AeroForceOne, follows the tradition of a swinging, rockabilly beat as previously recorded by Keith Richards. Perry's voice is ice cool in its lack of emotion, and it is obvious that the recording was engineered to sound like a classic '50's rock and roll song: high on the reverb, with a lot of bar chords, heavy on the crash drum cymbal, with bits of piano flourishes.
Perry adds his own mark on the song with his signature buzz sounding solos throughout the song. An accompanying video recorded for the song can be viewed at youtube.
While the song may only be of interest to die-hard Perry and Aerosmith fans, much can be said about Perry's gesture of making the song free for download. The legendary guitarist has nothing more to prove, and in making this his gift to his fans, it shows a tender side of Perry that he rarely reveals in the rock arena. It can be viewed then as a simple gift from a human being using his God-given talent. Which is, in essence, part of the true spirit of Christmas. Download it now.

State supreme court hears Smyrna man's appeal of conviction in gun, rape case
AUGUSTA, Maine — A Smyrna man sentenced to more than 19 years in prison for gross sexual assault and gun charges in 2008 appealed his conviction to the state's highest court Thursday, arguing that his attorney was ineffective for failing to object to hearsay testimony from a state social worker at an earlier trial.
Horace W. Salley III, 47, also was convicted of tampering with a witness and assault, a misdemeanor. Salley has a history of domestic violence, including abuse inflicted on four women and two of their children between 1992 and 2006, according to court documents. The witness tampering charge stems from an incident in which he tried to get the victim to change her allegations against him and told her if she did not, he "would come after her and the baby," court documents stated.
In 2010, Salley's attorney filed a petition with the trial court for a post-conviction review, arguing that Salley's trial counsel had been ineffective for not objecting to certain hearsay admitted at the trial and that his appellate counsel had been ineffective for not arguing that the admission of the hearsay was an error. The court denied that petition.
The Fiddlehead Focus / St. John Valley Times is pleased to feature content from our sister company, Bangor Daily News.

I was recently visiting my brother and his family out in California. He has three children, two girls and one boy. His son, my nephew, has a deep seeded un-earthly desire to play professional football. So much so that when he was in kindergarten he asked my brother and I if we had played in the Super Bowl! He's now in 3rd grade and is as big as some of the 5th and 6th graders he plays with. With his shear physical size and natural ability, he is the son that many of my friends would dream of having. I love my brother and sister-in-law because they've done an excellent job of raising all of their children and especially helping them to pursue their dreams. This 3rd grader plays tackle football, and he loves it. Last year he played flag-football as the quarterback, but this year in tackle football he's positioned as a wide-receiver. Watching him play, the joy in his heart, the love of the game (wanting to spend his Friday night watching a High School football game instead of TV), was something for me to take note of. I began to reflect on the last twenty years of my life, reviewing it for fun and dreaming and while I've been compared to Eeyore, I found myself wishing that I would have dreamt more and bigger. And I realized that it's not too late either! So as we were sitting at the In-n-Out drive thru after his practice I took the opportunity to say, "If playing professional football is your dream, then never let go of it and don't let anyone ever hold you back, keep you down, or tell you that you can't." Without missing a beat he asked me, "what was your dream?" I told him, "to be an architect."
Perspective is everything though. While I always wanted to be a building architect, I now architect huge youth events. So maybe I'm not that bad of a dreamer…but I'm thoroughly grateful for his reminding me to dream, and to dream big! For all of us, it's easy to get bogged down in the details, to become weighed down with reality, to give-up on dreaming. But there has never been a better time to start dreaming than right now! So what is your dream? Are you living the dream? If you would say no, then are you being diligent and purposeful on the journey to achieve your dream?

AN OCCURRENCE AT OWL CREEK was the last produced episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE series. ~ Which was an edited and remixed super 16mm French film, shot totally in France, that had won the top short film prize at CANNES in 1962. ~ Wherein we see the future Martin Scorsese Hollywood movie director getting hanged from an old train bridge in southern France's more rugged and aired regions that look like America's wild west frontier. ~ Therefore, the film opens with the bugle trumpet warnings of President Trump; heralding today's developing REV.16 civil war situation. ~ Right as Scorsese himself is producing a four hour documentary series of THE GREATFUL DEAD, at: http://www.highsnobiety.com/2017/05/16/grateful-dead-documentary/ ~ Meanwhile the old news NYT is reminding us of what we already heard about several months ago; when the President publically asked the intellegence community to stop spreading rumors and gossip about him and the Russians. ~ Exactly like for example last summer, when Putin told the press that he could work with either Clinton or Trump; but he would prefer Clinton. ~ GSR/TWN ~ PS KEN KEMP: David Shearer's BYU student OSCARS winning short film western was a sign from God that we need to include him in our upcoming unofficial side-bar screenings at SUNDANCE 18. ~ Don't laugh; even my old long haired blond buddy Terry McKnight wants to get a slice of this kind of hot get-rich-quick action; not to mention Robert Redford himself. ~ So many rich friends, so little time to spend it on them. ~

I met this guy who is managing a children's home two days ago. I went to the home and found it to be quite nice. He told me that the financial condition was terrible and the founder and her foundation was not providing much support any more.
Luckily, the founder was an American with an NGO set up in the states to support the home. 10 minutes of checking on the internet and I found that the home actually raised $36,000 to support these children... of which it spent $21,000 of the money on the children. It has over 42,000 sitting in the bank. The manager of the home says that he has been raising money to support the home by selling goods and asking for donations locally, so the amount of money the home receives is likely more than what I can find on the internet.
I smelled a rat with this guy from the start because he must have said "it is hard" about the financial situation 30 times in an hour conversation. Given that the cost of living is very low here (82% of people live on less than $2 a day so it must be low) and doing some basic analysis running the numbers he gave me, they should be in great financial condition. I am not sure if this is a total scam, but I am not going to do anything to help them...to bad since the kids seem to be very nice.

Can anyone post pictures of their quickslot setups?
I recently made a Minstrel and want to see how most people place their skills around. If it helps, I plan to do more soloing/dpsing than healing.

Can anyone post pictures of their quickslot setups?
I recently made a Minstrel and want to see how most people place their skills around. If it helps, I plan to do more soloing/dpsing than healing.
This is my setup. I use TonicBars to organize, it is set to automatically hide my WS + Anthemn & Coda when I can't use them. Across the top are drop down quickslots with all my horses, maps, etc. At the left are all my potions and food in more drop downs (These go to the right). As you can see I am a clicker, and don't use shortcuts much. (Hotswap gear items mostly)
http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/9497/62b8.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Here is my basic setup. It's designed for a lefty clicky mouse user, although for my heal skills i use the keyboard. I play on a lappy and raid a bit. Hence they are 1234 etc. The bars are low and the centre of the screen is as clean as I can get it. My vitals and my selection vitals are just above the toolbar so i don't forget to heal myself and can easily access with mouse. I use the buffbars plug in for pots etc but still like to have some spares on the toolbar. Weapon swaps, horses and travel skills down the left. It's pre the update so old mail alerts are visible.
When i was levelling i had the ballads and anthems on main toolbar 1 and dps on the next but i find this setup is better for me as Per needs to heal more quickly and i'm a non typist so heals get the easy keys! I'm not advocating this set up but you did ask!
btw keymapping in ui options will give also you some flexibility. eg some people map felowship manoevres to their number keys. Due to my lappy keyboard i find it easier to map fellow members 1-6 to the equivalent number keys. YMMV
I suggest you check some of the raid thread videos- you'll see lots of variety there!
all the best and happy experimenting.

Raging Bull
Scorsese shapes this brutal epic morality tale with such lovingly indulgent and elegant images that we cannot help but fall in love with every lead character and then have our hearts broken as each of them betray us and each other. Jake LaMotta's story seems to powerfully presage the dominant rise-and-fall-from-fame narrative that defines our lurid voyeuristic era, but with these lights, sets, performances and music this story provides a vision of clarity about the ways our culture shapes our hungers and fears in powerfully self-destructive ways.

Buh-bye yellow!
Since we purchased our new home I've been feeling like we've been chasing the yellow slowly but surely out of the house. For example, we turned our backstairs from this: to this: And the "everything closet" from this: to this: … Continue reading
bright & white
Nope, I'm not plugging a new laundry detergent- I'm celebrating our "everything closet" makeover!
Our new house lacks adequate closet space. The bedroom closets aren't too bad, but all we have is one coat closet near the front door and this cupboard in the mudroom:
Lovely, right? This is exactly what the cabinet looked like when we bought the house last fall–down to the empty dog bowls and extra trash compactor bags! Even though this little cupboard wasn't winning any beauty contests, I convinced our designer to keep it when we took over part of the kitchen to make a mudroom because I knew we'd need a place on the main floor to store, well, everything. For example, where, in an open concept kitchen like this, do you put your broom??
So this cupboard, which I now endearingly call the "everything closet" stayed. And lots of new stuff got put in around it. Which meant that it was looking especially shabby next to all the new stuff! And I do love a good makeover story, so last weekend I got to work on making over this little guy!
First, I removed everything from the cupboard that had accumulated there since we had moved in:
And I had another "what were they thinking?" moment as I took a good look around: the varnished pine and yellow interior? The linoleum on the floor? Yikes. But then I set to work: I removed the shelves, did a bit of sanding, and then applied a coat of really good primer:
And then another:
And then I re-assembled the cupboard and did a coat of white paint:
Ahhhh. Much better!! Then the fun part began: organizing and putting things back together! I sorted through all the accumulated stuff and consolodated, trashed, donated, and found new homes for many items. I then hit up my supply of leftover organizing products I had gathered during our move and set to work:
Quite the transformation! This small but mighty closet now holds a broom, dustpan, step stool, extra plastic bags, extra bath towels, medicines, cleaning supplies, and cleaning rags! Before the makeover the cupboard had always seemed really dark despite getting a lot of light from the fixture right next to it; but with everything painted white, it was suddenly much easier to see what I needed. Hooray!
Of course, you'll still notice that there's quite a bit of yellow to deal with on the exterior, but I plan to tackle that soon. For now, at least when I open the cupboard I get that lovely "ahhhhh" feeling of an organized space that functions as it should. Ahhhhh.
Fireplace makeover, part I
When we bought our new house one of the things we loved about it was it had a working wood-burning fireplace. I would have settled for a non-working one because I was just excited to have a mantle at all! Who doesn't love a well-decorated mantle at the holidays? What we weren't very excited about was the look of the fireplace:
Yep. The whole fireplace area, from the brassy doors down to the paneling above, were woefully dated. After owning the house for more than 7 months, things didn't look much better–in fact, I think they almost looked worse because the fireplace looked so out of place near the new kitchen:
All we had done was start to peel back the paneling. Yet, thanks to the zillions of ideas available on Pinterest, I knew as soon as we decided to buy the house that I could make over the fireplace on the cheap. I've seen lots of other bloggers update old fireplaces with nothing but elbow grease and paint, so I was confident I could join their ranks. Enter this little guy:
Yep, one single can of matte black spray paint (specifically formulated for high heat applications like grills) was all there was to my "step one" of the fireplace makeover–updating those brassy doors! I couldn't believe how easy this actually was. What took the most time was actually prepping the space to be painted. I scrubbed down the doors with soap and water and dried the area thoroughly. Then, I used some old cardboard that was lying around to protect the brick:
I opened all the windows in the house first, and wore a mask and goggles to protect myself as best I could. Then applied two light coats of spray paint, waiting a few minutes between them:
I waited about 15 minutes and then removed the cardboard, and ta-da!
No more brassy doors! The glass still needs a good cleaning but I figured I'd wait on that until the construction is done on the rest of the house. Next step for the fireplace? Painting the bricks! I've gone back and forth on this one a bunch of times, but the brick isn't in very good shape and the orangey-red just doesn't work with our design aesthetic, so we're planning to paint the bricks. Right now I'm leaning towards white, but I'm still looking around at different ideas. We're actually still not sure what's under the paneling above the fireplace–more brick, or something else, but we'll find out this week so I'll be sure to post soon!

As usual I forgot to take some "before" pictures. But anyway this is the color that we painted on the walls. It's about two shades darker than what was previously on them. You can see the original color in the third picture on the wall where the potty seat is and going up the stairs, because we haven't painted over that portion yet.
We plan to paint the entire house only we are breaking it up in sections so we don't kill ourselves all at once. We've painted the girls room upstairs already, but we'll continue this paint color in the loft, down the halls and in our bedroom. Not sure what color we will to change to in the boys bedroom.
After 4 1/2 years of this old paint scheme I was tired of it and painting really is the cheapest way to update a room. We are also repainting all the baseboards and door frames with a nice glossy white. I can't believe how amazing it looks to have freshly painted baseboards! Who would've thought.

Love all your Christmas pics, I've never heard of Club Penguin. The painting looks great, I love the darker gray color, it looks really nice.ReplyDelete
The rooms look GREAT! I really like the color although I don't envy you having to paint that stair-well!! :-DReplyDelete
My friend almost got the same clock above your entertainment center!ReplyDelete
Have you thought about painting the hands either white or black to match better than the gold?

Ok so I moved to Boise because Rexburg doesn't offer jobs that can keep financially secure. I was running out of money so I took a break from school and left to go to a city that actually offers jobs.
So I work for a place called "A New Leaf." It's a special program that gives therapy to children and sometimes adults who are developmentally challenged.
I work with an autistic boy, so I am considered a therapist. Finally! Lol j/k
He is incredibly cute. When I first met him, he was sitting at a table with a lost look on his face and I had to stop myself from tearing up because he was so adorable. I instantly loved him and knew I would love working with him.
I was incredibly nervous though. There are certain objectives that the center requires me to complete each day, such as tying his shoes, and blowing his nose, to more complex things such as how to deal emotionally with certain situations. I started my first real day on friday and we first played a game of "sorry" and then we did some exercises and went to the library. I thought I was somewhat successful as I completed 7 out of the 10 required objectives. Some are impossible to complete like blowing his nose... because he didn't have a runny nose that day.
So this week I have my full week with him. Hopefully it goes well.

The Bisignis Institute, a Washington D.C.-based think tank, has published its new Emerging Market Energy Security Growth Prosperity Index.
The index is intended to serve as a guide to policymakers and researchers studying emerging countries that the Bisignis Institute predicts have strong near- and long-term growth potential based on current GDP growth and large oil reserves.
The top five countries in the index are Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Brazil, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. Following them are Russia, Turkey, Georgia, Romania and Kyrgyzstan.
Each country is ranked using a calculation of government corruption, GDP growth and oil reserves. Corruption data was extracted from Transparency International, a reputable international group that ranks government corruption.
The index features 24 countries from South America, Europe and Asia.

I was having a discussion a while ago with a WoW friend and somehow we got on the topic of podcasts. Since my commute is an hour each way, I quite often will have my iPod earphones one. For a good long while, I was listening to audio books. But somehow I found my first podcast.
Podcasts are sort of like bunnies if you have one podcast to listen to, suddenly you have like a thousand. Or maybe they are Lay's Potato Chips and you can't listen to just one. Regardless, my podcast play list soon grew to enough podcasts that I was giving up the audio books in lieu of the podcasts I'd found.
I'm going to share just a few of my favorites out there today on the weird off chance that you all don't know what to listen to.
I struggled a good deal in putting this list up. I think all of the podcasts below are worth listening to and I don't want you to necessarily think those listed first are "better" than the others on the list. So, I actually put each of them on a slip of paper and drew it out randomly. So, there is no actual preference other than that of a God who plays dice.
- Outlandish Podcast - This is the only EXPLICIT rated podcast on the list, but don't be afraid. Other than the occasional "eff bomb" this isn't all that explicit. In fact, I think they could get away without tagging their 'cast as EXPLICIT. While I like all of this podcast, the commercials are truly the thing that sets this podcast apart.
- The Instance - This podcast has been described as "the big elephant in the room." It's true, this podcast has been around for over one hundred episodes. They are awesome, the editing and production quality are spot on. If you're a new podcaster, this is the one to beat.
- Epic Dolls - I recently found this podcast and I'm really digging it. It's done completely (?) by ladies. The new(ish) lore segment is really well done, and quite funny. My only caveat is this one can get a little giggly. Luckily for me, I don't mind.
- How I Wow - I've just found this podcast and really like it. While it's not strictly about WoW, it is about real people who play WoW. Each episode has a length interview with one person who mixes real life with WoW.
- Elune's Grace - I found this podcast, which I also love, from iTunes by looking at what people who listen to Epic Dolls also listen to. I think. Anyway another podcast hosted by women and another podcast that's very well done.
So, if you've not, it's time to explore the podcasts that are out there!

Merry Christmas!
It warms my heart to know that Rose has had a chance to celebrate Christmas. Saturday they had a party sponsored by our agency. Today I received a few photos. Happy Day!

I am not on twitter much (manly post, but rarely check to read responses), but this morning I ventured on. I was sad to see post responding to my tweets from NO ONE else, but family. Family responding to my posts on our adoption...not with love and support, but with anger and "embarrassment". It's hard to know what to do from here. Do I delete/hide my blogs, twitter, facebook?
I KNOW I am over-reacting.
It hurts when the people you would reach out to in times of pain (holidays without a child at home) feel like people you want to avoid. It makes me want to hide and take my husband up on his offer to move.
My heart hurts today.
It's nearly been a year since we lost our "Natalia' and now I am sitting here missing my Rose.
I am SO blessed. I know. No one owes me ANYTHING. My friends that have supported me are a true GIFT FROM GOD.
Thanks to you who love and support us.

After reading the debacle that was Willing Sacrifice, I was seriously peeved with this series. The long anticipated story of tragic warrior Torr and his brave Grace was rendered ridiculous by Torr's transition into a hormonal teenager and Grace into a brainless idiot with no since of self-preservation. Despite this, when I learned that Binding Ties, the next installment in the series, was to be about Joseph and Lyka, I put it, with reservations, on my most anticipated reads list for 2015. I wish I hadn't.
Am I the only one that wishes Lyka'd taken his offer at the end so Joseph could find someone better?
Here I am all excited because Joseph is finally going to get his female who just happens to be a kick ass Slayer. Instead, he gets a whiny, spoiled child of a woman who's forever ranting about her lack of freedom. I know she was not there of her own free will, but for God's sake, quit whining about it. You're, supposedly, a grown woman. Suck it up and deal.
If it's not that, then it's that she can't trust him because of the past enmity between the Slayers and the Theronai. Never mind that she's lived with them for over a freaking year and they have yet to hurt her or act dishonorably. Then, of course, she runs off by herself and is royally pissed when he has to come save her ass. Rinse and repeat.
Even after the disappointments the last couple of books in the series have been, I find I want to read more about the Sanguinar. You have to feel for poor, frustrated Ronan. And when will Tynan, finally, catch a break? I'm not really sure I want Nicholas and Tori's story anymore, though. I'm almost afraid of what Ms. Butcher will turn them into.

It's been a busy week, getting together the finishing touches for the website. But now we're launched and ready to move onward towards a crowd funding campaign.
I'll be attending the Buddhist-Christian conference at Union Theological the rest of this week which I'm really excited about. The theme this year is 'Enlightenment and Liberation: Engaged Buddhists and Liberation Theologians in Dialogue' and there are a bunch of really amazing people speaking. I'm really looking forward to one of the plenary sessions titled 'The Suffering of Racism'. Hopefully, I'll be able to connect with some like minded people and gain some new insights into the topic.
I'm also working hard on editing the trailer together. It's a long and sometimes painful process, cutting clips and sculpting an informative but concise piece, but slowly it's coming together. On this blog, I'll be sharing some of the interview clips that didn't make the cut.

She obviously hates her life so much she created a fantasy world and sucked me into it....during the time I knew her she invented as many as 8 different personalities.

This one was a pretty face, he was charming, tall and old enough but not too old. He promised to see me that weekend, and I got stood up, I never heard from him until the morning after. He had an excuse, said family emergency.That should have been my first clue. I didn't mind, considering I'm very familiar with dysfunctional families, I tried another chance. The first time we met, it was 30 minutes "date". Which I thought, well, that's not too bad. He said he'd see me some other day, again, I didn't hear from him until the next day, this time, he was painting his kitchen. This bothered me for one, I've never painted before and I was in my "trying new things" phase, so regrettably, I was upset I didn't get to paint, at the same time, I got stood up for blue kitchen paint lol. Which at first didn't bother me, upon further consideration, I figured out that there's a pretty good chance this dude hates me and didn't know how to avoid me, so he's coming up with these hurtful things to piss me off. We had a mini passive aggressive fight about it, it later got resolved. And then the night he was going to see me, I made a joke he found inappropriate because it was a sensitive topic, he practically scolded me for it, of course, I apologized because it was clearly a misunderstanding and me getting and or defensive would just add fuel to the fire. He got pissed off, practically said fuck off. I apologized and the next day he cleared things up.
Back on track, I was actually trying to convince myself that people aren't bad, and not everyone would hurt me, walls were coming down just a little bit at this point, hung out, gave him a lot of blue balls, at the time I thought hmm "he isn't so bad after all, I mean, he's too sensitive sometimes and acts like a jerk and doesn't know how to handle conflict, has a lot of issues". I didn't care, I mean I was trying to live in the moment and trying to overcome a major fear in my life. Then, of course, I was getting uncontrollably horny, I had sex with some guy just to cool things off, we'll call him "penis on lease" (POL). So I discussed this budding relationship with POL and he mentioned I just need to let him know where my mind is at. I don't make plans past a week because which leads me to another big giant fear I have (being disappointed, no seriously, I think everything is out to get me and keep me far away from happy). Because of this, I tend to almost always be in the moment, no worries about the future, if it's good for me right now, I'll probably do it lol. Anyway, POL said to let him understand that even though I'm trying to create a relationship here, I'm not trying to get married or thinking about a year from now, my thoughts and expectations are weeks to week, if that's too fickle for him, I can do month to month.
So I asked him, hey man, so what are we trying to do here, are we going to be having a lot of sex or something slightly more meaningful, I'm trying to practice being comfortable with people. He said, "oh, I can teach you that, I'd like something more anyway". I was okay with this too, you know learning. "Hey, I'm 21! Does this I'm anyway bothering you?" He'd say "lol, you're 20, and I'm fine with it". "Oh great 30s, that's good too". He wasn't making time for me, I thought we just needed better scheduling, so I'd offer to cab to his house, just to make things as convenient and possible, first time I went there, we had Sex, I liked the spontaneity but I didn't really like the sex, it was weird, I obviously thought it was because it was different, and assumed it just needed getting used to, so of course we tried again- tres weird!
Left in a hurry that morning, we made jokes about fuck and chuck,he was thinking it, I should have known he'd do that to me. Stayed in touch couple more time, went to his house again, sex again. This time, he looked like he was beginning to warm up to me a little more, it was different, it was adorable. Sex wasn't that bad, but needed a lot of improvement, kicked me out in the morning lol. He then explained a day after that he was having people over- Understandable because we weren't meeting friends and family yet. Fast forward through a lot of ignoring and avoidance and un-replied text messages, he later got around to tell me he was busy with work because it was investment season, thought, oh, I understand. more ignoring, more un-replied texts. One day, I went shopping with a friend, and as uncomfortable as I was lingerie shopping with anyone, It was a necessary evil as I was being oddly impulsive that week. I picked out a pretty blue one. Lacey midnight blue, had rhinestones on it, It was gorgeous, really complemented my skin tone, I loved it, I loved myself in it, the set was 120$ but any girl that's ever really loved something would understand how money doesn't become less of a factor. I wore those VS dressing room shirts, went to my friends dressing room to show it to her. she loved it so much, for some reason she kissed me, I politely kissed her back of course (Yes! I am a very nice lady!) but told her we couldn't do anything, firstly, my Zoloft had plunged my sex drive considering she has no idea about the long list of mental illnesses I'm managing, I didn't tell her. I just lied my way out of the situation.

I just lied my way out of the situation.
She assumed it was because of Jade so she asked me to invite him over and we could "Have fun" together. If you've read my previous whining and maybe my fantasy journal, you know that I love to watch! I can't seriously explain why I'll think about it and keep you up to date. I texted him. "Hey, I got you something, come over after work-no excuses!" As usual, I didn't even get a reply till maybe a week later. He came talking about how he's been a recluse and blah. Again, good liar, stupid me, I felt sorry for him and fell for it again. He then asked me what I needed him for the other week, I told him what it was about. He seemed upset he missed the show but not about ignoring me. As you know, my social skills suck ass, I had no idea this was a bad thing. I even offered to teach him some coping skills I learned in therapy.
Fast forward again to chaperoning a tinder date. I hate tinder! As much as I respect having a healthy sex life. I just don't like how its done these days, there's so many lies and mind games involved that I can't play. But I chaperoned my friends tinder date, it was all twenty-year-old boys so I used her tinder and started talking to her matches and playing a match. I see this Jade guy on tinder. He swore to me earlier he didnt use it. But I swiped right, 2 secs later, we matched, he messaged, I was shocked as hell, I didnt know what to do so I replied his message, I was bored, he was replying my texts anyway. So we talked, he started hitting on her (me). It was weird as hell. it didnt even feel like it was him, I mean, he was 100 times more confident than the guy I thought I knew and he told couple lies after that. But hey, its tinder, most people lie to get laid. we are not exclusive, I wasn't mad and he could have been a catfish situation. It was too weird, tinder date was over, my friend got her phone back, we left the bar. Next day, she texted me saying the guy I was talking to had left me his phone number, I was like "there were a lot of guys, I don't want it". she said, "his name is Jade?" I said "oh, probably a fake profile, that person sounds nothing like Jade", she said she got a phone number and we could call him to ask him to stop catfishing. I got the phone number, it was Jades, my head was going to explode lol. I texted him and begged him not to lie to me, I DONT like being lied to, do wahtever you want but it'd be great if you were a little straightforward. He denied it and told me not to bring any drama to him, called me crazy and took it way over the top.
He went ahead to unmatch my friend, confirming it was really him. I stopped talking to him then, I knew I was definitely done. He seemed nice but there was no substance to him. Reminds me of what I asked him the first time we met, I said: "How do you not know someone isn't who they say they are, then you run into problems in the long run". He said to me "People pretend, you never know". I thought "No, you'll always know" Well, I was wrong, he fooled me.
I had cut my losses, I was no longer interested I had moved way past it. Then he asked me about my friend-the tinder match, I told him, he wanted me to triple way text her, I refused, told him I don't want to be part of any messy situation. He kept insisting, I gave him her phone number, I forgot to let her know what I had done. Fast forward some weeks later, she texted me asking why I gave a white boy her number, I said "what white boy?" she said my white boy, I said "Robert?(I'll publicly share my note on Robert if you're curious). I didn't give Robert your number. She said "no Jade". I apologized and said I forgot. she said he's been begging her for sex. It was hilarious because he had texted me an hour prior and, as usual, left me hanging lol. I sent him a text and made a joke about him striking out with my friend and asked if that was why he texted me. Once again, on the defensive, got mad, called her names and started quadruple texting (didn't know he had all that thumb power considering he never replied me and when he did, I got a lot of single words and meaningless pictures). She had also mentioned how much hateful things he said about me, I was so mad, my head hurt. I was wondering, what did I ever do to him? He told her he doesn't want me anymore because "I wanted more "he gave her really intimate details which made me feel quite violated and unsafe- If I had trusted him with more personal stuff, he probably would have shared those too. I felt so awful, of course, I confronted him. I said "hey, why are you bad talking me to get laid? I mean you didn't have to lie to her about me". He called me crazy, asked me not to involve him, said he didn't want me because I was too young, so it was my fault I was unwanted, obviously struck a nerve, I was crying my eyes out so I asked him to stop talking about how it was my fault he didn't want me. He said, "you know what, you're too crazy, I'm blocking you".
I thought it would be good to express this except I'm way too ashamed to even talk about. Anonymously blogging this, works for me!
