Bass Guitar, Guitar, Piano, Classical Guitar, Flamenco Guitar, Music Performance, Music Recording, Music Theory, Percussion, Songwriting
Hello! Thank you for your interest in taking guitar/piano/music lessons.
I am a professional teacher/studio musician/performer/producer with over 17 years of private teaching experience and a graduate of the University of Miami Studio Music and Jazz program in 2002 specializing in the guitar.
I am available to teach guitar(acoustic, electric, classical) for all levels, ages, and styles(pop to folk, rock to soul, world to classical) in English, Spanish and Japanese.
Other subjects taught include bass guitar, keyboard, harmonium, classical percussion, music theory, composition(all styles from pop to classical), ear training, and studio production/engineering/mixing.
Born in Cali, Colombia on April 1979, I began my musical endeavors studying the piano at the age of 6. Early on I had the opportunity to play percussion in the school symphony while at the same time developed an intense interest in the instrument that would become my true love, the guitar.
During 1996-98 I studied jazz guitar at the New World School of the Arts music program under the direction of J.B. Dyas and Dr. Roby George. Upon graduation, I was immediately accepted to the University of Miami jazz guitar program under the direction of Randall Dollahan. It was during this time that I also refined my skills as a classical guitarist and as a composer/arranger. In addition, I began passing my knowledge onto friends and eventually began working as a teacher.
My ability to play almost any genre of music is the fruit of past experience playing with an impressive variety of music groups, including jazz combos, symphony orchestras, Andean world music ensembles, and several rock and pop groups as well. As a studio guitarist I have recorded for various artists including Jaci Velasquez, Carlos Ponce, Alexandre Pires, and Noelia.
Piano, Singing, Broadway Singing, Music Performance, Music Recording, Music Theory, Songwriting
Piano, singing, and songwriting began for me when I discovered really awesome piano music such as with bands like Queen, Yes, and ELP. After high school, I studied classical music composition at Wheaton College's Conservatory of Music receiving my Bachelors in Music Composition with a focus in piano. My professional experience includes singing on film/tv productions such as High School Musical, Hairspray, and Struck By Lightning. I compose and orchestrate for theater (Glendale Center Theater, Vanguard University Theater Department), film/tv, orchestra (L.A. Jewish Symphony, TCOTW, BIOLA University) and album projects (Anna Nalick, Oodle's World Productions).
Singing credits include High School Musical 1, Hairspray The Movie, High School Musical 3, Chris Kolfer's new movie Struck by Lightning, Atlanta Aquarium Dolphin Show recording, Boston Public, Who Wants to Be A Millionaire ad (New Wave Ent.), and The Drew Carey Show. I'm also a professional piano player for American Idol finalist Stevie Scott, various other bands, Mastro's restaurants, and local churches.
Currently producing my second children's music album for Oodles World, Inc.
I love to share musical knowledge. I really enjoying teaching.
I am a graduate of Conservatory of Music in Iran. I have been playing piano since I was 6 years old. My background and training is in classical music but I am very comfortable working with students who are interested in popular, jazz, broadway or new age music.
I am also a kindermusick educator which gave me the opportunity to work with babies and moms introducing the notion of music and rythm to them with singing and introduction of instruments.
Bass Guitar, Guitar, Piano, Singing, Classical Guitar, Music Theory, Songwriting
Originally from Wisconsin, I was a music student at UW LaCrosse before coming to LA to attend Musician's Institute in Hollywood,(GIT) where I graduated with honors and was awarded a USA Custom Ibanez guitar. I remained in LA working in numerous bands spanning a wide variety of musical styles including blues, rock, country, surf, and even Persian music! With "The California Girls", an all female surf band, I opened for "The Beach Boys" , "The Safaris", "Jan and Dean", "Steppin Wolf"; toured the US playing theaters, fairs, casinos; and played overseas for the troops in Bosnia, Kosovo, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Iraq, Afghanistan, Norway, Germany, the Pacific Islands, and Diego Garcia. Most recently I was a member of the Greg London band, an impressionist with whom I performed in Leicester Square in the West End of London, at Harrah's Reno and the Las Vegas Hilton for extended runs. I fill in with "ThundHerStruck", an all female AC/DC tribute band and recently did a tour to Afghanistan with them. I also have a band called "Sierra Highway" that performs in the Antelope Valley.
I have studied vocal technique extensively with Robert Edwards, renown vocal coach to the stars (Christina Aguilera, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow ) and learned to teach his method which is similar to the famous "Seth Riggs" method. I have played piano since early childhood.
I look forward to helping you achieve your musical goals and tailoring your lessons specifically to your needs!
Piano, Music Performance, Music Theory, Viola
I love being a teacher, but even more than just that, I thoroughly enjoy assisting others on their journey to learning and making music a personal experience for themselves.
Having said that, here is my teaching philosophy, including what you can expect from me as a teacher and as an individual:
Each student who comes to me is an individual. I customize each lesson, keeping in mind the student's level of interest, goals, and intent. I put great care into judging when to push, when to pull back, and when to stop altogether and regroup.
Sometimes there is frustration and as a teacher it is very important to take that experience and turn it into a positive learning situation. During the course of a lesson, we'll take a "breather" and simply talk about the day, or work on material that is enjoyable and instills a sense of self-confidence —anything to release the tension of acquiring a new language-the musical language. Within moments, we are ready to begin again, refreshed and renewed.
I believe it's important to maintain a relaxed environment that encourages self-confidence, self-motivation, musical growth and excellence. To push students too much, being insensitive to their needs and limits, is to fail them. Sometimes this may cause students to dislike not only piano, but music itself. That may translate into personal regret years later. As their teacher, I do anything and everything to avoid that occurrence, making adjustments to their course of study.
Children and adults choose to end pursuing lessons at times, but only on an up-beat note, with suggestions of other paths to explore, other ways to grow and evolve. Closure is consciously done in a respectable and healthy manner, and students are never purposely abandoned. Having musical experience, for whatever length of time, can have lasting positive, even trans-formative effects on a student-child or adult.
As a teacher, I never give up on a pupil and attempt to instill that same dedication in each student. The piano is an instrument that requires passion, discipline, and strength. Moreover, it requires humility in recognizing personal and professional limitations with understanding and peace. We are not all capable of being world-class pianists; however, we can all foster within us their qualities of the love, joy, and awe that music brings to both the listener and performer.
In short: I offer myself as your personal musical guide to assist you in honing the skills needed to become the best musician your mind's eye can imagine. Learning music truly is an adventure that is meant to be fun and rewarding. Our time spent together will uphold that ideal.
Fifteen years of private Classical Piano study under Martha Ashleigh, Hans Boepple, Santa Clara University, California. Seven years of private Classical Viola study under Christine Becktrom, Modesto, California.
Six years of private composition, music theory and counterpoint study under Martha Ashleigh, Dr. Pamela Quist at Santa Clara University and Dr. Michael Fiday at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.
In addition to studying piano and composition extensively for many years I've been fortunate to have many other valuable experiences both as a teacher and musician, including but not limited to the following:
As a teacher, I've been teaching for over 5 years, having worked with young children to college age and beyond in a private lesson setting. During my undergraduate years I substituted for my professor at a local community college teaching the keyboard lab class for two semesters in a group piano setting. I have taught not only music but, composition and music theory as well.
As a church musician, I've assisted the Music Director at a northern CA catholic church as organist and pianist. I also accompanied the church choir during holidays and feast days.
As a soloist, I've performed extensively throughout California as a solo artist presenting standard literature and original works, as an accompanist for vocalists, and in chamber ensembles.
As an orchestral musician, I've toured throughout Japan presenting standard literature in Kurume, Fukuoka and Tokyo.

Piano, Music Theory
My teaching philosophy is based in the belief that learning music should be fun and exciting! I always encourage my students to pursue the kind of music that they find most appealing, rather than using the same curriculum and method book. I teach private lessons and have had the experience of working with hundreds of students ranging from beginners with no experience to advanced players.

Great work, Pilsner...uh...I mean Jever!! Seriously, the pies look dynamite. Very cool!
Ooh, that is a nice thickness factor.With less dough, you can actually bring back a little of the oven spring that's lost to the screen.
Thanks tscaife!I bought some 6-1 in the BIG can, from GFS. It cost about the same as the little can at Giant Eagle. Big can = 6lb-9oz - $5.29, little can = 1lb-12oz $4.89.
Jay,If you like the 6in1s, I'd order directly from Escalon. $15 for six cans, plus $1.50 shipping.http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,8093.msg119498.html#msg119498
Thanks for the tip Mike. It's so darn convenient to just run to GFS and pick some up. Although it's almost 1/2 price to order online. It's always good to have options.

"Luscious and bold, with a round, masculine bouquet of blackberry, bitter chocolate and a whiff of coconut. The palate sports perfect harmony; it's full of cola, cherry, plum and espresso. The finish is tight and right on the money. Lovely stuff from a fine vintage; a wine made in the rich, sweet, modern style. The blend is Sangiovese, Cabernet and Syrah."-Wine Enthusiast
This Super Tuscan red wine blend has lovely flavors of ripe cherry, plum, white pepper, spice and vanilla-oak, a rich texture and a polished, lingering finish.
Castello Banfis innovative spirit and winemaking expertise is demonstrated in all its wines, but none embodies these qualities as prominently as Summus.
A wine of towering elegance, Summus is an extraordinary blend of Brunello di Montalcino which contributes body; Cabernet Sauvignon, fruit and structure; and Syrah, elegance, character and a fruity bouquet. Each wine is individually vinified and aged one year in French oak barrique to develop its unique style, then masterfully interwoven with the others to achieve a rare dimension of taste. Two years bottle-aging brings forth a fragrant bouquet of fruit, oak and spice. Summus is characterized by a rich color and lively dance of ripe soft-fruit flavors.
Summus marries well with all red meats, stews, hearty pasta dishes and cheeses.

Cellar/Tasting Notes Our best-selling entry level Bordeaux for over a decade, the chateau produces a Merlot-based wine, cherried, supple, fruit-intensive and marvelously enjoyable when young.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This excellent Bordeaux Bargain is owned by Gerard and Chantal Perse of Chateau Pavie and is a perennial overachiever."
Cellar/Tasting Notes A major sleeper of the vintage, this outstanding wine from the Aubert family in St.-Emilion has terrific plum, black cherry and cassis fruit as well as hints of earth and flowers. Supple-textured, opulent and savory, it is a heady, fleshy wine to drink over the next 3-5 years.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "... it displays plenty of kirsch, sweet cherries and red currants along with some sandy/loamy soil and roasted herb notes in a very sexy, up-front, lush, medium to full-bodied style. There's not a hard edge to be found in this La Croix de Gay ..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a quintessentially elegant Margaux, with a dense ruby/purple color and notes of charcoal, cassis, a hint of smoking embers, and a subtle touch of spring flower garden.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Offers beautiful blueberry, raspberry, and cherry notes intermixed with toasty new oak, spring flowers, lovely fruit, and fine length."
Cellar/Tasting Notes ... the 2009 Les Pensees de Lafleur has terrific purity, a serious level of concentration, impressive notes of melted licorice and kirsch liqueur, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. While its tannins are soft, the wine boasts plenty of glycerin and leaves an impressive tactile impression.

The Sulu-Sulawesi Seascape is home to the world's richest marine environments, spanning around 900,000 square kilometers of the waters between Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. With new species being discovered all the time, it hosts unmatched biodiversity that provides food, shelter, income, recreation and climate regulation to approximately 40 million people living along its coasts and to the rest of the world, sustaining life and ensuring living seas for generations. The Seascape is home to coral reefs, seagrass meadows and mangrove forests, which support fishes, sea turtles, dolphins, whales, sharks and rays.
However, marine species and habitats continue to be threatened by overfishing, pollution, destructive fishing practices, coastal development and sedimentation. In addition, livelihoods are threatened as commercial fishing increases and fish stocks decline, leaving fewer fish for local consumption. These threats put tremendous pressure on the Seascape's fragile marine ecosystems.
Making a Difference
Conservation International and our Seascape partners have fostered a more than 200 percent increase in the total protected marine area in the SSS conservation corridors, and facilitated the development of governance and institutional mechanisms that are now leading examples of how to deliver marine conservation at scale. The increase in marine protected area (MPA) coverage — combined with improved management, strengthened enforcement, enhanced stakeholder capacity, innovative partnerships and the development of ecotourism — has significantly improved the sustainable management of the Seascape's marine resources, laying the groundwork for even greater conservation results in the future.
Local communities are feeling the positive effects of marine conservation, and ecosystems are showing signs of recovery. For example, increased fish catch has led to increased household incomes. The Seascape has also fostered significant increases in government stewardship and resource allocation for marine conservation and enforcement, with local governments increasing budgets to enforce fisheries and MPA regulations, and politicians and community members expressing strong support.
Our Goal
To secure natural resources and human well-being benefits by establishing effective Seascape-wide governance that strengthens resilient MPA networks and sustainable fisheries management

text: With all due respect, what MCA is saying to non-members is "you can come to our show, you can pay the entry fee, but you cannot participate fully in the event". And to a lot of folks who might go to an MCA show once every 5 years or so and therefore don't belong to the MCA, that's the same thing as "not participating". Since in my area, there are usually several car shows every weekend, an MCA National/Grand National will potentially lose those entrants to those other events. If the rule had been in place in 2011, at the 2011 Grand National, that would have amounted to $8000 in lost revenue and would have made the difference between our local club turning a profit (which part was donated to charity) or losing money.

Post subject: Online dating - Has anyone tried it?
It's a dark and scary world, but has anyone ever tried online dating before?
I've shown this comic strip before in the art thread, but the strip pretty much sums up my experience in online dating.
Has anyone actually tried online dating before? If you have, did you have any success? Any fails? What's the best, or worst of online dating you've experienced?
For me, I tried online dating last year and I met a few girls, but of course nothing happened with any of 'em. Usually I either don't like them, they don't like me or the feeling is mutual. Recently, I thought I met someone awesome until I was told otherwise.
I do have some other really creepy stories (where I was victim) that surprisingly do not relate to online dating, but for now - what have you guys got?

I wouldn't call it dating, but this topic is right up BBK's alley
Anal sex is a lot like eating spinach, if you're forced to do it as a kid you wont enjoy it properly as an adult

I met my ex-girlfriend on OK Cupid while living in New York. It's by far the best service, insomuch as its completely free and allows you to message between users without any fees.
That being said, it did take me 8 dates to meet her, and I'll come back in a little while to tell the story of my first OkCupid date,...stay tuned.

Alright, here goes.
My first OkCupid date took place on the day of The Times Square OWS (Occupy Wall Street) protests. I had messaged, from what I perceived to be, a cute girl, and after a few polite exchanges about music and alcoholic drinks we decided that Saturday was a good day to meet up.
Prior to meeting her I met up with some college friends in Times Square to participate in the protest, which was a lot of fun. It was also during this time that she texted me the location of where we would meet (Bushwick) with one significant caveat…she would be there with her friends.
What the fuck? It's one thing for two consenting adults to meet informally for the first time with the polite intention to see if romantic compatibility exists. It's completely different to meet her AND HER FRIENDS. Not only does this disrupt the ambience of a cute romantic encounter, it forces me to interact/compete with her friends, who are all strangers. Mulling this over in my head I decided that the reason she would do this is for a sort of "back up", a kind of cushion that she could fall back on should the date go sour.
So what did I do?
I invited my friend Eric to go with me. Boom. Done. Awesome.
Now if you haven't lived in NYC, it isn't exactly a picnic to get to Bushwick from Times Square. The bar she suggested we meet at was Barcade, where I had been before, and it's basically an arcade for adults, complete with leaderboards for all the games. Good times.
Due to the capricious nature of NYC's subway system, we ended up being a half hour late, an experience which included us being stranded off the J train and befriending a guy who let us drink honey dew whiskey with him.
Eventually we make it to Barcade, and guess what?
She isn't there.
My first reaction was that "ah shit, we were late, we blew it".
I tried calling her a few times. No answer. In the meantime Eric and I are drinking shots and playing Tetris battles.
Before completely abandoning this plan, I decide to give her a final call. She answers…and tells me that they decided against going to Barcade, and she was going to let me know but apparently she didn't get reception.
This is NYC motherfucker, nicknamed Empire City, nicknamed Gotham, nicknamed goddamned nexus of the world. There is no way you can't get reception here. Something didn't smell right.
I ask her if she still wants to meet up. Surprisingly, she said yes. So in favor of not wasting any more time, Eric and I decide to cab it to an even more remote bar in the seedy underbelly of the unhip part of Bushwick—the part that doesn't have L train access.
When I get to the bar in question, I do a quick tour around the premises. I don't see her. Is this a fucking game? I send her a text message asking if she's there. She replies, yes. Confused, I ask her to meet me at the counter. Two seconds later she appears with her friends, and I'm super confused.
I'm super confused because the girl that claims to know me looks nothing, NOTHING like the girl in her OkCupid picture. The girl in the OkCupid profile picture is cute, has a nice face, and what appears to be a decent body. The girl that stares back at me has a face shaped like a horse's ass, buck-toothed like a donkey, and fat. And not fat in that curvy, bootylicious kinda way. Fat in that rectangular, thick kinda way.
We make our introductions and try a jab at some polite interlocution. Eric is bemused, because he knows what I'm thinking. Eric is not amused however, that all her friends are as ugly, or uglier than her. It's a no-win situation for both of us. We need an exit plan.
Soon enough, the girls all decide to have a smoke break. Though I'm a smoker myself, I decided not to join them, as I need to express my desire to GET THE FUCK OUT to Eric.
We wait 10 minutes for the girls to come back, and no sign of them. Out of curiosity and a desire to have a cigarette myself, Eric and I go outside..and they're gone! What the sincere fuck is going on over here. I was simultaneously swept with disgust and relief---disgust at her inability to communicate/be a decent human being, relieved that we can peace out.
It's currently 3:10 A.M, and it's nearing last call. Eric wants to go home, but I'm not through with this night. No way. I need to redeem this night. I need to have some actual fun. With a gut decision, I hail a cab and tell him to book it to Williamsburg. Eric and I plant ourselves in the immediate vicinity of 2 very attractive girls at one of our favorite bars. Seeing 2 other guys get rejected by them, we immediately pounce at the chance as the clock is ticking towards 3:30 A.M., a.k.a the time all bars close.
We try our best to be amicable, but as the bartended kicked everyone out, we had to forcibly bid them our adieus and cab it home. When in the cab the driver goes the wrong way, so we turn him around. Out of nowhere, Eric spots the 2 girls we were just speaking to, pulls down the window and yells "HEY GIRLS, WANT TO COME CAROUSE WITH US?"
The randomly decide to jump in the cab with us and invite us to go back to their place. Turns out, they lived some 300ft from the bar, so we pick up some beer from the local deli, and go up their apartment. We hung out for a while, and I'm getting closer to one of the girls, eventually leaning in for a kiss, which she reciprocates. This forces her friend to ask Eric "Why is your boyfriend making out with my friend?"
Eric is like…"what?"
Then the girl I just made out with confirms our suspicious, "yeah, we thought you were gay"
In unison, Eric and I deny this, and I continue making out with her friend. Eric then goes with the other girl to her bedroom, and we both get laid.
The next morning one of the girls hurriedly kicks us out because she is a drug dealer and her boss was coming to visit.
With big smiles on our faces, Eric and I grab some grub at Kellogg's diner, and head home.
TL;DR: Go on an OkCupid date. Date sucks. Get to an Apartment with 2 girls who think we're gay. End up sleeping with them anyway.
Protip and lesson of the story: Never use a weekend day to meet an online date. Weekends are for fun and no risks.

That's a great story, Mod-Chip. I'll put it on my wall.
I don't really have any dating experiences to speak of. I've met two people I knew from the internet: one was odd and awkward, and I ran away at the end; the other was great, but we're pretty sure he's the father of some classmates, and he seemed to have some family drama going on, so that friendship kind of died off.
I sprinkle sand into the waters of night. The grains burn as they fall, reminding me of another in times long passed away. I watched him even then as he fell, his face undefeated, his eyes still proud.

Ive used online dating. I met a nice girl down in Puerto Rico I chatted with on weekends. I got to see her when I went on vacation down there. She had just graduated medical school. Once I finish college I was thinking of maybe staying down there for awhile.
When I moved from Illinois to California, A person I had played Wow with for 6 years drove all the way to Illinois to pick me up and we drove all the way back. I lived with him for 2 years while I got acclimated to Chico California. When we would tell people the story of how I got there they looked at us like we were nuts. My Illinois friend thought he was going to kidnap me and rape me.
Nope, we made a lifelong friendship that started over the internet and had a amazing time.
Ive since then moved back to Illinois and into Missouri to finish college.

Some pretty crazy stories...
Mod-Chip, wow. They thought you were gay? Oh man. Good story though.
I haven't had that kind of uh, experience before. I remember once meeting one girl who seriously didn't look like her profile picture, and she just... wasn't anything at all like her profile. :/ Awkward.
Sourdeez - Yeah, I've made some great friends over the Internet, friends who I've actually yet to meet. I've known one fella who lives in England since I was fifteen years old, so ten years now. I haven't met him yet but I would seriously consider him one of my closest friends. He got married last year and invited me to his wedding, but uh... travelling from Australia to England for a wedding is a wee bit expensive.

once, or twice. each time a ridiculous result. Nothing professional either, like dating sites, more like a happenstance meeting online, then a get together. ridiculous result doesn't necessarily mean a bad result, just ridiculous.

Nah, it isn't MattAY. Although it should be, because I am confident that he would have a large collection of fine asian ladies.

Yes online dating a few times but I end up meeting crazy psychos. Given up on dating in general now for a while anyways. I think it's a good idea to talk online and find out like interests, but I would prefer to meet someone in person.

Fair enough there, good call.
I gave up on dating for a while too, about six months before I thought I'd give it another go. I I met one girl recently who I thought was really cool, cute and super cuddly, then she kinda just told me she feels I'm not ready for a serious relationship. I was pretty bummed about that. I was very tempted to give up again until I met a girl at a party last weekend. Hit it off well so, we'll see how that goes.
With online dating what I like to do is talk to the person over the messaging service (whatever the site uses) and if I think the conversation is going well, I drop them my mobile number. Leave the ball in their court. If they text or something, I like to try and talk to them over the phone (when we're both free) one or two times to see how conversation goes... for me personally, it makes meeting them in person a lot easier and less nerve racking.
In regards to "psychos" I've met a few... they always seem to be friends of friends. I try to be nice, friendly and polite to just about everyone I encounter. I think it gives off the wrong idea? Oh man I won't get into that. >_<

Yeah maybe that's my problem too. I'm just too polite to people and it gives them the wrong idea.
The first proper online date I did was last summer. Was a good looking Spanish guy living in London, good career. When we met up we went to Primerose hill, sounded like a good plan. To get some drinks and sit in the park. It was a beautiful day and everyone was out. As soon as I get out the station and turn I see him standing with his back to the wall, but really looked nothing like his photo and he must have put on about 15 stone. I had the urge to just turn and run back straight away but then he looked up and saw me and I smiled and walked over. Went to the shop and straight away he's speaking to me like his girlfriend and trying to hold my hand. He's that much taller than me that he keeps kissing my head and despite me being really distant and pushing him off he just kept on putting his arm around me. We walk up the hill and he's just about out of breath and took a breather before finding a place to sit. He then talks continuously for hours about himself. About how he's from gran canaria and its the best of the islands to visit and how he used to run a lot when he was younger and played football, but now he's busy with his job and gets lots of free food and drink with work promotional events, and how he sits at home and eats packets of biscuits and kitkats. He loves buying chocolate on sale. I didn't even get a chance to speak at all. I just sat there sipping my beer thinking how am I going to get out of this. Eventually I say I'm cold and we start walking and I say I really need to get home. He called me and messaged almost everyday and I tried to tell him in the nicest way possible that I'm not interested but he continued for a couple months. I decided to delete my dating profile for a while....
About 6 months later, Another guy I met up with, he was from Malaysia. It was good, decided to do a day trip to Windsor castle. I really had a good feeling about him. He was 29 and worked for the government, loved travelling. We spoke on the phone a few times and looked forward to meeting him. Throughout the day he did keep making bad comments about girls though. And how they just expect things. Mind, I paid my own way the whole day! I thought maybe he just had a bad relationship and thought I would like to continue talking to him anyways. We spoke everyday after, texting and calling. But when he would mention doing something and I would say, alright when? And he would go on about how he's doing this and that with his friends and family every Sunday so how about next week? And then next week would come around and it would be the next week. It was 3 weeks before I saw him again and he was only 3 stops away on the train. His lease was up on his house and moved to St. Albans for a little while til he found another place but that's missions away. Eventually I just got bored of waiting to meet up and him having no initiative
Just to share 2 stories of completely different personalities. And I agree with BBK, keep the dates to a week day. Weekends are too good to waste. Plus it keeps the date time to a minimum to just see if you are compatible first

That's pretty crappy! Sorry to hear about those :/. I mean the first guy, wow. That sounds terrible. I've had experiences like that before when the person not only looks absolutely nothing like their profile picture, but just... talks about themselves for the entire time. It's honestly the worst feeling ever when you're on a date and you're thinking to yourself "How the hell can I escape?"
That second guy, that sounds like a shame. He sounded like a pretty good fella. I find that strange that after the initial first date, you're still texting back and forth and stuff but he was making no effort to see you? That seems, I dunno, contradicting of himself, in a sense.
I'll try and nutshell my experiences of online dating.
-Met one girl who seemed really cool, but then never heard from her again. Sent her a text the next day to let her know I had fun, but yeah heard nothing so... I didn't persist. I wasn't quite sure what I did wrong there.
-Met this girl who was a little older than me (I'm twenty five, she was twenty nine). She was super nice, but I didn't see her as anything else. We kinda decided to stay friends but we've lost contact.
-Met one girl who... looked nothing like her profile picture and only talked about herself. Oh my God.
-This is the weird one. I never "met" this girl as on the day we were supposed to meet, she had to go down south for a family emergency. Almost every night she would call me. Hell, sometimes she'd call me while I was at work. Anyway, on the day she was supposed to come back, I never heard from her again. Weird huh?
-Pretty certain I met one girl who was a complete psycho... the date made me very uncomfortable as all she talked about where her ex's and stuff. It was... a little awkward.
And like you said in regards to being too polite, it's true. I know it's corny and cliche' to say but it's so true, politeness is so often mistaken nowadays as flirting. I try and be nice and polite to everyone and, well this is going to make me sound like a horrible human being - I've had some uh... very unappealing girls try and approach me, in a very forward manner. One time this one, super smelly and uh - unattractive lady literally tried to have her way with me after I had suffered a concussion and other minor injuries from a judo competition. I'll have to post that story another time... it's kinda funny but man it was not funny at the time.

Story of my life haha
It's a shame when someone just stops talking to you though. I can't help but take it personally. One guy I was talking to just stopped talking one day after a couple months. I found out from the friend that set us up a couple weeks later that he got back with his ex and now moved in with her... I guess it's better off it things don't work out so when you find the right person it will be special. I think I'm still just a hopeless romantic hoping that one day ill just be minding my own business walking around town and I trip and a handsome passerby catches my fall and I look up and lights shinning down and music playing and I'm like yep he's the one, and so starts a blossoming love haha....

Not to rip you off Dobby but that's a quote I use all the time too to sum up my dating life,
"Story of my life."
It is honestly a pain in the arse when people stop talking like that. Like you said, I also take it personally. I don't want to, I just do. Really, it'd be nice to just get a text message or something that says something like "I'm sorry I'm not interested but thanks anyway" or whatever. That would put my mind at ease. Like you said too, it's a kick in the balls when you've either been talking to them or hanging out for a while or something and then suddenly bam, you don't hear from 'em again.
That's what my friends tell me as well. It's probably better that it didn't work out, because that way you may find someone better for you that will work out and it'll make it the more special. In all honesty, I'm starting to think that won't happen for me and I'm thinking I should start buying an army of either cats or dogs, buy a walking stick and tell kids to get off my Goddamn lawn.
Lawl. I think most of us who are single try and picture just how we meet the "perfect person" for us. I don't have an idea or "image" and even if I did, I probably wouldn't realise it at the time because I am that oblivious when it comes to people trying to show interest in me.
...unless of course they literally try to jump on me and grope me while I am lying in a bed crippled and groggy. MUST USE ALL REMAINING STRENGTH TO FIGHT OFF THE BEAST.

Never tried online dating, but I'm still in college, so it never seemed like a necessary thing. I basically gave up on dating this year - I spent the first half of the year getting over my ex, and then spent the last half knowing I would be moving to NYC for grad school, and thus trying to have a relationship with someone at my undergrad (in Spokane, WA) was going to be a waste of time.
I'm definitely not the most social person in one on one situations - put me in a group of people and I'll be pretty outgoing, but as soon as I'm left by myself with a girl I don't know very well and am somewhat attracted to, I clam up. So really, I don't have high hopes for my dating future.

Aww man don't think like that just because your moving. One of the best relationships I ever had was during the last 4 months before I moved to California. The girl was awesome and we both knew I was leaving soon. I do regret not continuing the relationship but it was one of the best parts of my life. Id choose to do it again knowing full well how I feel now.

And it wasn't just his look that was cool. Everything about Monk's performances was jaw-droppingly hip. He pounded heavily at the piano's keys like a little kid who's never had a lesson – but Monk's heavy-handed style brought beauty from the instrument, not dissonance. Critics called him "the elephant on the keyboard," but jazz fans loved his spiky, percussive sounds. And when he was done crashing his way through another hot solo, Monk didn't fade into the background while his bandmates took their turns. Instead, he would jump up from his piano bench and look on, shuffling his feet to the beat. His enthusiasm made the music all the more infectious.
Thelonious Monk died 31 years ago today, but his recordings and performances are as cool as ever.

New York Times article shows why restorative justice is needed
from the entry by Lorenn Walker on Restorative Justice & Other Public Health Approaches for Healing:
The February 5, 2012 New York Times article by Kovaleski et al, For Killers' Families, Struggles With Shame, Silence and Fear shows why we need restorative justice.
The article describes how family members are also harmed by their loved one's criminal behavior. It shows the need for restorative interventions that can help many families deal with the harm they suffer.

Little improvement seen in religious freedom
There has been little improvement in religious freedom worldwide but some positive changes were seen in Turkey and Vietnam, according to an annual State Department survey of nearly 200 countries.
Secretary of State John Kerry, a former U.S. senator who helped push the law mandating the original report 15 years ago, helped announce the findings on Monday in the Annual Report on International Religious Freedom.
"This report is a clear-eyed, objective look at the state of religious freedom around the world. And when necessary, yes, it does directly call out some of our close friends, as well as some countries with whom we seek stronger ties."
Government repression in China, North Korea and Saudi Arabia has kept all three countries on a list the report calls "Countries of Particular Concern."
U.S. Ambassador-at-large Suzan Johnson Cook said positive developments were found in Turkey, where restrictions have been relaxed on religious clothing, and in Vietnam, where the government has begun allowing large religious gatherings of 100,000 people or more.
But a ranking Republican says Vietnam deserves a tougher assessment.
U.S. Rep. Ed Royce, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said "religious freedom remains under attack in Vietnam."
In a statement issued soon after the report, he said "the Communist government in Vietnam has denied its people the most basic freedoms."
Royce has introduced legislation calling on the State Department to restore a negative status for Vietnam by again listing it as a Country of Particular Concern.
In the report, China was cited for a "pervasive" government campaign against freedom of religion, involving detention, surveillance and other techniques of repression.
And the report said North Korea in 2012 "dealt harshly with all opponents," and discouraged organized religious activities.
Kerry said governments that are behind repression hurt their own stability and are a risk to other countries.
"Attacks on religious freedom," Kerry said, are "both a moral and a strategic national security concern for the United States."
