Did I blow the date? I really like him.
So I went on a date with this guy, and things seemed amazing. We laughed, flirted, talked, and definitely seemed to be having a good time. We both had a drink with our meal, and since I am a lightweight, I got a little tipsy. Nothing bad, just a little more friendly. Well, we ended up sitting in his car letting it warm up and just talking more. I was kind of bold and ended up kissing him. He reciprocated and kissed me back. It ended up turning into a hot and heavy make out session. Then we drove around more and talked and held hands. My friend was kind of down about her boyfriend, so I decided to be a good friend and go to the club with her. He met my friend and was a complete gentleman. He dropped us off at the club and kissed me goodbye passionately saying he had a good time and wanted to do it again. Well, I was kind of drunk at the club and texted him saying "I had a really nice time." And he said "Ya me too. Let's do this again. I just texted him back. "Aww." And then I told him there were a lot of creepers at the club and he said. "Well be careful. They like beautiful women like you two. Wait, all men do." And then I said "Don't worry. I only would dance with you." And then he didn't text me back. Then yesterday he texted me asking how I was doing. I told him I was good just gonna go shopping. And we talked back and forth. I told him my friend said he was very nice. He said "I don't care what your friend thinks. I want your approval." I told him he had my approval, and he passed with flying colors. He never texted me back. This was yesterday in the afternoon. Did I blow it by making out with him and drinking a bit or you think he's interested and just busy? I'm a straightforward person and hate games. I'm just not sure anymore. lol
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
I'm also a straightforward person so if I was him, my lack of response would most likely be due to being busy. Especially with the holiday season, I might be involved in work, charity or family stuff. Send him a Merry Xmas text and see if he responds in a day or so. If you hear nothing I would call him after Christmas and chat. If he is not interested any more he should be a gentleman and tell you.
Thanks. He did text me today. Just asking how my Xmas eve is going. He's at his grandparents. He doesn't talk much though. He sucks at texting. Lol he is a lot older then me so that might be why.
What Guys Said 4
What Girls Said 3
The way you acted on the date wasn't the deal breaker or he wouldn't have kept texting you after. Telling him he already passed with flying colors not only made it seem like he was being tested, but that after one date you were head over heels. Most people don't want it to be that easy, that makes it seem fake and wonder why the person doesn't have higher standards.
Well I was being honest. So your saying my text was bad? Why does dating have to be such a game? I was honest that I like him. Ugh. I guess I should just keep my mouth shut.. lol
There's nothing wrong with being honest, but most people will be cautious if they've already passed everyone's tests within one date. You don't really know someone after one date. Its saying that you trust really easy and may have felt that way about lots of guys before after one date. He wants to feel special which means waiting a little longer before deciding he's perfect.

What struck me about the whole idea of questions is regarded as stressful by most people. Questions are threatening. It implies the person who is asking has the right to demand you read their mind or suffer if you guess wrong.
Being able to observe oneself, to welcome unfamiliarity and be comfortable with ambiguity while a question hangs in the air unanswered is a very privileged point of view to have gained...especially after having made it through the USA school system.

Shayne Lamas Calls BS on Shauna Sandby Free Britney at . Comments
Shayne Lamas, one of the many daughters of actor Lorenzo Lamas, is knocking her former stepmother Shauna Sand for her staring role in sex tape.
As we reported yesterday, a Shauna Sand sex tape is set to be released. The former model admits she was involved, but does not want it released.
Yeah, right.
Shayne, who you may remember as the winner of The Bachelor season starring Matt Grant (they lasted a good month) is calling BS on Shauna:
"Isn't that convenient that her tape just happened to be leaked the day after my show premiered. I just feel bad for my little sisters," she said.
Leave it to Lamas debuted Sunday on E!
Shayne Lamas' mother is Michele Smith. Lorenzo Lamas divorced her, married Shauna Sand and then had three more daughters. [Photos: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]
We'll keep you posted on anything we hear regarding Shauna Sand sex tape, but that's all we've got at the moment. Thank you for weighing in, Shayne Lamas.
Shayne had no comment on who will be the next Bachelor. However we're sure she could be convinced to enlist as a contestant again if the producers allowed.
shauna has also had one to many plastic surgery mistakes, she is ugly
good on shayne for saying something, shaunda shouldnt be doing that kind of stuff while she has kids, and esp at her age, yuck
Shayne is for real, a great actress. Check out www.the13thalleymovie. Her first starring role!!
Sand is a bastard. A useless one. She shud prolly go rest with Anna Nicole Smith.
seems like she chose to ride on Shayne's coat tails(new show) to get herself in the spot light
real-wishes dot com
where wishes become reality
oh my gosh, that is ironic. I love Shayne from her season on the bachelor, I will have to go check out her show!
which one is which here?

PITTSBURGH-Carnegie Mellon University's Jeanne M. VanBriesen and Kelvin Gregory will use a $100,000 grant from the Pittsburgh-based Colcom Foundation to study water quality in the Monongahela River.
The focus will be on the presence and effect of bromide associated with Marcellus Shale gas produced water, and sulfate from acid mine drainage, according to VanBriesen, a professor of civil and environmental engineering and faculty director of the Center for Water Quality in Urban Environmental Systems (WaterQUEST).
"The public has expressed increased concern about the produced water that may result from ongoing development of the southwestern Pennsylvania Marcellus Shale formation, which is reported to contain more than 300 trillion cubic feet of natural gas," VanBriesen said.
Developers using hydraulic fracturing, which involves injecting water and sand into major shale formations to help natural gas flow up a well, will need millions of gallons of water to complete the process at well sites. Water that returns to the surface, called flowback or produced water, is collected for reuse or disposal. Disposal at wastewater treatment plants along the Monongahela in 2008 is suspected as a contributing factor in high levels of total dissolved solids (TDS) observed in the river.
Carnegie Mellon researchers will work with the River Alert Information Network (RAIN), a regional association of drinking water suppliers that has been selected by the state to monitor the river quality.
"We will essentially collect data from sensors that RAIN deploys at various sites along the Monongahela River," said Gregory, an assistant professor in Carnegie Mellon's Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. The sensors will monitor for some aspects of water quality, and the Carnegie Mellon team will take additional samples for bromide and sulfate.
Besides the fieldwork, Carnegie Mellon researchers will add data to RAIN's Web-based public information system to promote additional education and discussion among environmental groups about river water quality. WaterQUEST will host a "State of the Monongahela River" event to share data and research about the river.
"Carnegie Mellon's work to understand the water quality impacts from shale gas production in Pennsylvania represents a thoughtful, farsighted effort to avert a problem before it arises. Carnegie Mellon's research resonates with the mission of the Colcom Foundation, which has a long history of assessing and addressing the cause before it's necessary to respond to the symptom. It's a privilege to support Carnegie Mellon's preventative strategy," said Carol Zagrocki, program director of the Colcom Foundation, established in 1996 by the late Cordelia S. May, a dedicated conservationist who served as chairman until her death in 2005.
In addition to the Colcom Foundation, Carnegie Mellon's Steinbrenner Institute for Environmental Education and Research provided seed funding for this research through support of a graduate student researcher.

Shape of ice
- ipsedixit Sep 20, 2013 04:58 PM
Do you care about the shape of your ice for your cold beverages?
I hadn't really given this much thought until today when I was asked this very question.
"Would you prefer cubed, crushed, nuggets, diced, crescent, or gourmet?"
I asked for crushed for my Root Beer.
But I suppose my answer would change depending on the beverage.
Liquor - gourmet
Soda - crushed or diced
Tea- cubed
Coffee - cubed
You? Are you particular about your ice?
More importantly, have you ever asked for a particular shape of ice for your beverage?
Absolutely. Shaved for a quick, cold melt in a martini up, crushed in a mojito or mint julep, one cube in a peaty scotch.
I DO care about the shape of the ice in my cold beverage. I haven't been to any place that has given me options but I'll tell you what I DON'T want....crescent shaped ice.
The kind that so many home refrigerators make.
The kind that whose curve fits perfectly with the curve of my glass and blocks the drink from entering my mouth.
The kind that plays mean tricks and directs the liquid to the sides so that it dribbles down the sides of my chin and all down the front of my shirt.
Curse you crescent shaped ice!
re: seamunky
re: bagelman01
I just saw my first mustache cup at a Victorian museum tour this summer! What a grand idea!
re: bagelman01
I had to look it up. Very cool. Makes me wish I could grow a moustache. (Chowhound's spellcheck doesn't like that spelling of mustache but that's how I learned it and I'm sticking to it!)
re: seamunky
Your spelling is traditional British English. It's been dumbed down over time.
re: bagelman01
And I must confess to dumbing down the Brits' method of drinking gin - by adding plenty of ice cubes and every pickled fruit or veggie that's known to man!
re: seamunky
"(Chowhound's spellcheck"
Chowhound has a spellcheck? how did I not know this?
re: seamunky
Crescent ice be damned!!!
i remember loving a certain type of ice served at a local grill. It had the appearance of being forced through a straw. It was cylindrical in shape and the pieces were a quarter inch or so long. the texture was almost flaky and had the mouth feel when crunched. Those were the BEST cokes.
I can't say I am particular now although I do yearn for that straw ice. I general don't take ice in beverages except cocktails or fountain sodas.
re: Atomic76
I like the cylinders with holes n the middle because I'm a kid at heart and like to push my straw through the holes. I typically get this type of ice in bags at the narjet or 7-11. But ANY ice is better than NO ICE, imho.
Coffee Bean and Tea Eaf in SoCal typically has wat my bff andcI call 'pellets'. Small oblong pieces with a cettain crunch/flakiness. We've been known to go in and just ask for ice. ThoughvI usually end up with an iced tea because I can't resist.
I despise crushed ice in anything. I am very particular and will go without if only crushed is available.
Daily ice from the ice maker is crescent , alcoholic beverage ice is a perfect cube (it is difficult to get them out of the silicon mold though) and water bottle ice is from long tubes from a mold.
I have never asked for a shape but I will ask if it is cubed/refuse crushed.
re: sedimental
I'm with you on the crushed ice front. I do lovelovelove an ice-cold beverage, so if crushed is what's on offer, I always opt for a straw, which I don't particularly care for, but don't particularly hate either...at least it prevents an avalanche of crushed ice on the face.
re: cayjohan
Or, if you're klutzy me, ice shards down the throat.
I am an ice fanatic..in fact the freezer in the garage has three bags of store bought ice in diffrent shapes...my dream is to be rich enough one day to have an ice maker that makes different shapes of ice.. It started when I gave up soda... the ice became this perfect water vesselpackage..
re: girloftheworld
The problem with ice being the perfect water vessel package is that it takes too long for a sufficient amount, for a good drink, to thaw.
I guess cubes for "regular" cold drinks, crushed ice for mojitos and frozen drinks.
I have a friend who is crazy for these huge golf ball sized ice spheres - I have discovered through drinking at her house that I kind of hate them. On the other hand she gave us a silicone Titanic-themed ice cube mold that makes cubes shaped like the ship that actually do float ass-up, 3/4 under the liquid, and cubes shaped like the iceberg that float mostly under the liquid- and those are great, even on a practical level. They are smaller than golf balls, for one thing.
May I ask where you were that offers such an ice selection?
I'm not sure what is gourmet ice. I'm guessing it's chopped with an old fashioned ice pick. I have never had that. I think I would like the irregular pieces, as I do love crushed ice. I also love nugget ice. Whenever I get a Sonic diet cherry limeade, I squeeze the lime over the ice leftover after drinking and munch the ice. Kids at school used to eat ice with lemon and salt
I'm a cube gal, all the way. More friendly to my beverage drinking self than either crescents or crushed.
I ice pretty much every beverage. The clinking sound of ice against a glass is one of my favorite sensory inputs. Crushed just doesn't do that, and the crescents, as seamunky pointed out, are a little too combative, despite their clinking capabilities.
I, also, am wondering what "gourmet" means with regard to ice shape.
re: cayjohan
I, also, am wondering what "gourmet" means with regard to ice shape.
Rectangular, brick (sometimes "octagon") shaped.
re: ipsedixit
Ah, so completely rectilinear, versus the slope-y sides of most home trays. I could get to love that. Doable at home? What special trays to look for?
re: cayjohan
Dunno if it's doable. I just know there are commercial machines that do this. And do it perfectly.
re: ipsedixit
(I need to get out more. For ice.)
re: cayjohan
At Sur le Table are available trays of 6 cubes , trays made of silicon. They make cubes, each about 2" on a side, just love them.
re: Delucacheesemonger
I have those from SLT, they look cool, but the ice is difficult to remove, you need to run it all under warm water and pop each one out individually. Good for a "rocks"cocktail, too much work for daily iced beverages where you use more than one or two cubes.
re: sedimental
Really, l just bend the silicone and they pop out with no effort. Perhaps we are talking of different things. OTOH l never fill to overflowing so no bridge of ice on top, have never needed warm water.
re: Delucacheesemonger
Thank you for the information - those look like something I need! Well, like I need another hole in the head, but I get wrapped up in some odd aesthetics at times, and ice is one of them. (I've got my afternoon iced coffee in front of me, and I'll admit to feeling a bit of mild contempt toward my Rubbermaid-made slope-y cubes as I fantasize about perfect rectilinear cubes. Oh, such problems, eh?) Tell me this, if you would: are the SLT King cube trays terribly wonky to handle with filling and situating in the freezer? I've had in the past some silicone muffin pans that irritated the snot out of me with handling. Since my fridge's freezer is battleground for space, too, are the silicone ice molds more space-hungry with their flexiness. Thanks!
re: cayjohan
l always have a partially used very large can of tomatoes in the freezer and this tray daintily sits upon it.
re: jrvedivici
re: girloftheworld
Many moons ago a buddy of mine after have a few too many cocktails had an accident which involved him falling on top of a coffee table. Ok, I can't lie, he didn't have an accident and fell down, he just passed out.
He cut up his back a bit and there was some immediate bruising however we were renting a shore house and didn't have any first aid supplies, bandages or ice for that matter. Using the old "Frozen peas" theory, our freezer only yielded a couple of frozen burrito's. Our next dilemma was how were we going to make sure these stayed in place all night? Have no fear, duct tape was here........so we duct taped the frozen burrito's to his back and for the time all was good in the world.
Imagine his surprise being the first one up, with a badly bruised back, and now thawed and well rolled over and mushed burrito's duct taped to his back. To this day I don't think he believes he fell and that was our best attempt at proper medical attention, to him it was something much more devious on our behalf.
re: jrvedivici
He probably felt like you made him into a suicide bomber.
I don't add ice by choice to anything that I drink and actually don't even keep drinks in the refrigerator but if at someone's house or a restaurant I much prefer cubed to crushed. With crushed, I can't seem to get to the liquid as all my lips meet are ice cubes. Also I find it seems to make the drink feel much colder which as someone who doesn't like cold beverages is kind of an issue. I'll drink a cup with regular cubes and it's fine, but leave the crushed for ipse I guess.
I am replying to this as I enjoy a glass of root beer over crushed iced--my favorite. I am a little freaky about my ice...I use a hammer to crush ice to my preferred texture.
re: INDIANRIVERFL
I've never seen 2 inch diameter balls, or balls of any sort, but am curious. Is this in high-endy cocktail places? Is this a trend thing?
Gäh, I think I am thinking about ice too much. But happily.
re: cayjohan
ice balls
perfect cubes
ice straws
re: INDIANRIVERFL
Woof, IndianRiver, this is one thing on which I disagree with you. I really don't like those two-inch ice spheres - they bang into my mouth while I'm trying to drink my drink! As I posted above a great friend of mine also loves them for your reason, I believe - but I find them awkward.
re: ratgirlagogo
Don't do it. Be nice. It has been over a year since we were last banned for 2 weeks.
Screw it.
It all comes down to your level of experience. For those of us with decades, if not a lifetime, of manuevering balls around, it is not a problem. So practice ,practice,practice, so you can manipulate your balls without undue waste of fluids or discomfort.
re: INDIANRIVERFL
Two inch balls can be somewhat unwieldy, especially if they bang into your mouth... even more so while you are trying to drink.
re: INDIANRIVERFL
What can I say, IndianRiver. I totally set myself up for that one. Bravo!
I love good ice. I have all the fancy molds. 2" balls, 2" cubes, 6" spears, etc.
For tiki drinks you need crushed ice. It's a texture thing in many ways. Also on the very rare occasions I drink soda I prefer crushed ice as well.
Juleps need finely crushed ice, powdered practically to snow. That's where my lewis bags and mallets come in. Old fashioneds, single malts, bourbon, and rye on the rocks means one huge ice ball.
Tall drinks, high balls, etc. I like the ice spears, a 6" long, by 1"x1" rectangle of ice. Unless the tall drink is a swizzle, then it needs crushed ice.
I sometimes carve balls with either a knife or ice pick, but I much prefer to carve jewels if I have large clear block ice to work with. I have emerald cut and table cut down to perfection. I'm working on my round brilliant cut diamonds.
When shaking cocktails good quality ice cubes are great, but as long as the ice isn't too wet it's fine. Wet ice is terrible. Hard to get good consistency.
My dream of having a high end bar will be capped off by an extensive ice program. Beautiful clear 200 lb. block ice, hand cut into all the appropriate sizes and shapes for the drinks. As well as hand cracked for shaking and stirring. And for a select few, hand carved ice jewels.
Here's a video of a bartender I know doing some of the more simple cuts.
I am also looking for an excuse to buy one of these now that Cocktail Kingdom is selling them so much cheaper than wen they first came on the market.
I'm not one to do shots, but if you have to, then it should be out if an ice shot glass.
Interesting question. I'm not terribly picky about my ice, but I don't even use it at home with the exception of a very rare cocktail. However, during the summer if I'm at home for a while (I'm in AZ so summer is very hot) I do like to put a water bottle in the freezer for an hour or so, then squeeze it to break the ice into sheathes. This is probably my favorite ice experience-the water is blisteringly cold, but the ice doesn't actually touch your lips.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We are high school seniors at great river school, and have been attending since 7th grade. Throughout the years we have seen the school grow in amazing and sometimes, although very rarely disappointing ways. The school is split up into 3 different levels (A1, A2, and A3) the first is the junior high (7th and 8th grade), the second being the lower class men (9th and 10th grade) while the third and the best is the upper class men (11th and 12th grade). Each level has a very different structure based on the needs of said level. In the A3, we get to create our own schedule, meaning we have certain classes we have to take, but we are in charge of what day and time we attend them. This is good practice for college, because much like college no one is forcing us to go to class, but if you don't you will become behind. A very big plus to this schedule, is that we have at least one hour of open work a day where teachers are available and willing to help you with whatever you need.It has a real community and it goes out of its way to make everyone feel accepted and comfortable! We would have not become the students let alone the people we are today without this amazing school!
What makes this school different than most? Camping trips for starters. To kick off the fall, while the 11th graders visit colleges around the midwest, the 12th graders kayaked around the Apostle Islands, and the 7-10th graders are on different camping trips. The 9-10th graders are harvesting pumpkins, potatoes, tomatoes, and squash that were planted the Spring before in Western Wisconsin. I have never worked or been in a school that contributes and uses it s community like this one. Great River collaborates with local businesses and uses/helps maintain local parks. In the current dire situation of public education funding, GRS is doing everything it can to earn grants, and fund raise to make these critical experiences possible. The young adults at this school are learning the invaluable skills of questioning, having a sense of place, how to work with others, and how to lead and be active members of their community. I have worked in many school districts in this state and have never found a more dedicated group of teachers and administrator. If I had children and lived in the metro area, they would be going here. Zach Schultz, former Math Teacher at GRS
Very disappointed in every aspect of this school. The most troublesome factors are inconsistency, poor communication and persistent lack of organization by administration.
A school in which students have tons of options and have teachers that are committed to teaching them to think, to lead, to be curious and to explore. Montessori based, each students developmental needs are important.
A very creative school with positive learning experiences and great teachers. Our granddaughter loves it!
The best Montessori school in Saint Paul, and, why not, in Minnesota!
This school provides an incredible learning environment where students are engaged, responsible, and striving to become leaders.
Our son is learning at his own pace and has built-in time to do community service.
Great River School nurtures the mind, heart and spirit of every student while encouraging individuality.
Great River is a superb school and we have been pleased with all aspects of our experience there. Our son is receiving a strong academic education with many extras and benefits not seen in a traditional school. The trips and explorations, the special focus classes during May-term, the open nature of the experiences are all great. The school is well-run and has a tremendous amount of support from its parents and staff. Another area I especially appreciate is the focus on community and emotional bonding which is an integral part of the school experience. Students are expected to participate in the community as members and give back to the school community and community-at-large via volunteerism. GRS Rocks!
The sense of community is great!
Great River School is a Montessouri Jr./Sr high and they strive to carry on Maria Montessori's methods and goals to become life-long learners. They have excellent staff and community - with certification as International Baccalaureate school.
Great academics, fantastic opportunities outside the classroom, a warm and caring environment for students to learn and grow. Great River is truly great!
GRS is committed to youth development, not just academic success - though they're great at that too. The staff is amazing, the key experiences make a huge difference. It's a great place!
Great River is a nurturing middle school and high school. The teachers work hard and do a great job!
Great River has turned my son from a kid who hated school to one that enjoys going everyday. The time spent out of the classroom lends an interest to the learning that keeps the students interested and focused. The academics are challenging while allowing each student to find where there strengths lie. I'm very happy I found GRS.
Great River is an amazing school. We are thankful for the respectful atmosphere of the school. It supports the teenage years in a holistic way and gives the opportunity for self esteem and confidence to the young adults. Class week long trips bond the students as a group and give them a hands on learning experience.
Innovative curriculum and a great understanding of what the jr high experience is really like.
Cool Teachers and an awesome curriculum makes GRS the best!
Community engagement and Montessori critical thinking generate great students commitment with great academic performance

I've got some BD-R discs that I am trying to burn onto but the software I am using is having none of it. I've tried four applications and none of them work. Using a BD-RE disc I can burn fine so I know it's not the drive or the software.
Is there something that I need to do to prepare the discs or are these discs just totally rubbish?
Getting quite frustrated. This was meant to be a quick job!

Jura is a radical social space. We put on gigs, films and discussions in order to build a counter-culture outside of (and in opposition to) the capitalist scene. We welcome like-minded groups to put on events in our space. Below is a selection of images from gigs and other Jura events over the last couple of years.

Black Rose Books books held by Book & Volume
Jura has been going for 36 years! Come and help celebrate at our end-of-year party. It will be a chilled out gathering involving some tunes and nice chats.
This book reveals Australia's radical past through more than 500 tales of Indigenous resistance, convict revolts and escapes, picket line hijinks, student occupations, creative direct action, street art, media pranks, urban interventions, squatting, blockades, banner drops, guerilla theatre, and billboard liberation. Twelve key Australian activists and pranksters are interviewed regarding their opposition to racism, nuclear power, war, economic exploitation, and religious conservatism via humour and creativity. Featuring more than 300 spectacular images How to Make Trouble and Influence People has been published in a second edition by PM Press. As this edition will mainly be distributed to audiences outside of Australia all of the listings from the first edition have been put in chronological order and introductions added for key periods in Australian history. It also features an additional 30 pages of new material.
Praise for the book:
"I noticed clear back on my first visit in '83 that radical Aussies fighting back seem to be far more tenacious and creative than most Americans—Roxby Downs, that damned Franklin dam in Tasmania, Operation Titstorm, etc. A far better way to heat up the planet than your lovely mining companies. So keep up the good work! A prank a day keeps the dog leash away." —Jello Biafra
"A fascinating recovery of Australia's neglected past and a worthy inspiration to today's would-be troublemakers." —Sean Scalmer, author of Dissent Events: Protest, The Media and the Political Gimmick in Australia
"If you've ever thought of speaking out about an issue or have idly wondered what you could do to make the world a better place, this is the book for you! Fascinating interviews, quirky historical snippets and stunning photos chronicling all the Australians who have made a difference and who have done so with courage, audacity and a lot of humour! Keep it on your desk at work for all those moments when you need some inspiration, a bit of hope or just a good laugh." —Jill Sparrow, co-author Radical Melbourne 1 & 2
"Fascinating interviews with Australia's best troublemakers make for a riotous scrapbook covering our radical history of revolts and resistance." —Rachel Power, Australian Education Union News
"McIntyre has amassed hundreds of tales alongside dramatic photographs in what is unashamedly a songbook for Australia's future culture-jammers and mischief makers." —Katherine Wilson, The Age
This guest contribution to the Jura blog comes from Simon Hunt, AKA Pauline Pantsdown, who gave the following short speech at the Sydney launch of How to Make Trouble and Influence People, at Jura Books on 26 September 2013. In it, Simon talks about his politicisation, his cultural intervention as Pauline Pantsdown in 1997-1998, and how to use humour to confront the dark policies of racism and cultural bigotry in Australia. We encourage you to follow Pauline Pantsdown's great organising and amazing exploits at facebook.com/paulinepantsdown666
When I was 9 years old I saw a black-and-white TV image of my school teacher, Mr Watson, being thrown into a police paddy wagon for protesting against the presence of the South African football team – the Springboks – in Australia. Mr Watson never returned to school, and it all seemed very confusing. Although I've learned more about it since then, it was only reading about it in Meredith's Burgmann's fascinating account in this wonderful book that it was really brought to life. Imagine former member of NSW Parliament Meredith Burgmann, together with her sister, in their 20s, spending the day dressed in the drag / disguise of older Afrikaner women watching the football, before leapfrogging their esky over the fence, invading the playing field and setting off flares.

This mousse is very nice for any time of day, it's not too sweet, but definatly sweet enough for a desert, you can try adding things such as Whipped cream and fruit, a fruit sauce, or even just some extra sugar for a different taste, very easy to make, and even the kids can help out with the whisking. I got this recipe out of a manga book called Kitchen Princess by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi. Extra note from recipe: "Yogurt is made with fermented milk, Dairy bacteria is good for your stomach and insestines and works to regulate your immune system." And remember, as long as you keep the basic recipe the same, you can do what ever you like with thisa, some suggestions I got from my family when I served it to them was perhaps in a cannoli or in-between cake layers.

The Golem and the Jinni
A Novel
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
I am usually drawn to historical fiction, throw in a couple of mythical creatures and I am hooked.
This book was a bit of an experiment, I am not a fan of magical realism. I prefer my books to be either entirely in our world or entirely in a fake one, not the in between of being both.
I thought the beginning was pretty good but by the time the second half rolled around it was far too melodramatic. The characters were over the top and the resolution quite incomplete.
This book is fabulous! It grabs you from the very beginning. There are several intertwining storylines, and plot twists galore. Great for anyone who likes a fast-paced read that's slightly on the literary side. This is an author to watch - unbelievable that it's a debut novel! And a tip - SMPL has this cataloged as sci-fi which I guess I get because it has some supernatural creatures, but don't let the sci-fi label deter you if you "don't like sci-fi." It's really not sci-fi in my opinion, more like historical and fantasy.
Although I read this slowly, it didn't take away from how beautifully written this novel is. The story is also unlike anything I have ever read, and for that reason alone I would recommend it to people. The Golem and the Jinni mixes historical fiction with fantasy elements with various story lines being told throughout, and just when you are not sure if they will all come together, they do in surprising ways. Wonderful!
this book was fantastic! beautiful writing, the charecters are full and passionate and the story is a thrill...must read! I hope this new author has more to come!
At the turn of the modern age, two magical creatures awake, each lost in a world that has started to forget. The Golem, loses her master right after being awoken. Without this link, the inner thoughts of all nearby humans flood her mind. Newly born, and newly independent, she stumbles into America. Running parallel to her story is that of the Jinni, a transient creature now trapped in human form by a wizard. He seeks a way to free himself after being awoken, a thousand years displaced from his time.
Both beings bare traits of intelligence, and curiosity, and find themselves needing to adjust to the human ways that they find so foreign. In each other they find not only a companion who can understand, but a being so opposite to their own nature, that they grow from their interactions. Slowly, their worlds expand as they explore more of the city. By coming into contact with people, they learn about human nature, and more importantly, learn to take responsibility for their consequential actions. Mixed with their tales, are side passages dedicated to others they meet. Like the Golem and Jinni, they all struggle to find their way.
A multiplicity of layered connections bind this into a tightly woven tale, with the feeling of fate only dawning on us much later once these threads start to reveal themselves. The author's exquisite prose easily builds a world where myth naturally fits into reality. We are swept up by the wondrous nature of the Jinni, and the innocence of the Golem, reveling with them in each of their new discoveries. Truly their tale is enthralling, magical, and endearing as they grow into their humanity.
It's hard to believe that this is Helene Wecker's first novel! I really enjoyed this book and still find myself thinking about the characters and the story even though I finished it a few days ago. I hope to read more from this author in the future.
Enjoyable read, great storytelling. It was like reading relatively modern Thousand and One Night story. I would have preferred Golem being called by her name, and I did some skipping, especially through the second half of the story, but I still highly recommend The Golem and the Jinni.
I very much enjoyed reading this book. I read a lot of fantasy fiction and appreciated how much depth there was to the worlds that the author describes. Instead of the usual feeling of "wouldn't it be great to have super powers!", you genuinely felt for the main characters and their problems. I liked that, eventually, each of the character lines connected and were resolved. A rich, meaty read. Highly recommended.
Entertaining book. It could have been a bit shorter; where was the editor? It began to grate and I found myself getting irritated with the characters but still turned the pages and was a little relieved to be finished.

Love the colors! I get compliments on it! I love that it sticks to my flooring! And it's made in the USA!
I saw this in the catalog & just loved it! I was looking for a new kitchen rug & this just stopped me in my tracks! It is perfect for me, as it's not too big for my small kitchen, is comfortable to stand on & easy to clean. It looks perfect!
Makes for leg comfort in front of my sink. Goes well with my flooring. This is the 2nd one I have purchaes. After the 1st one got worn looking, I bought another.
Arrived promptly. Just as pictured. Colors beautiful.
I like the mat because it does give some relief when standing for a long period of time. It is by my kitchen sink close by oven. I spend a lot of time there!

Mitt Romney Got a Job!
Through sheer luck, a winning cover letter and a never-give-up attitude, one unemployed man by the name of Willard Mitt Romney has landed himself a job. Starting today, he'll sit on the Board of Directors of Marriott International, the hotel chain founded by J. Willard Marriott.
Of course technically he was on the Marriott board before he quit to run for president (and before the company donated almost $200,000 to his campaign).
And yes, he was named for Mr. Marriott.
Also this isn't really a job.
Still, good for him!

Third Eye Cinema 2/16/14 with Mark Boals of Ring of Fire and Iron Mask
This week on Third Eye Cinema: one of the premier vocalists of modern metal!
Working alongside such rock veterans as Ulrich "uli jon" Roth, Ted Nugent and Savoy Brown, he exploded onto the metal scene as the pipes behind Swedish neoclassical shredder Yngwie Malmsteen's classic Trilogy album in 1986!
Appearing on later Malmsteen offerings Inspiration, Alchemy and War to End all Wars as well as releasing three solo records and briefly replacing D.C. Cooper in Danish symphonic power metal act Royal Hunt, he now works double duty fronting both Belgian power metal/shredders Iron Mask and his own Ring of Fire alongside Trans-Siberian Orchestra keyboardist Vitalij Kuprij and legendary Shrapnel Records shredder Tony MacAlpine!
Join us as we speak to another of the great metal vocalists, Mark Boals, only here on Third Eye Cinema!

Third Eye Cinema 2/2/14 with Ron Keel
This week on Third Eye Cinema: legendary metal singer Ron Keel!
A man who delivered some of the most distinctive and powerful yet melodic vocals in 80's metal, Ron served as both frontman and driving force behind the amazing Steeler, which introduced the world to neoclassical shred by way of its guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen, before turning out several albums with his own excellent and radio friendly outfit, Keel.
During the long dark night of music that was the 90's, Ron turned to the music of the heartland, finding a new venue of expression in the realm of country music, both as a solo performer and with his band Ironhorse.
Now back on track with an amazing comeback album and his own metal podcast (both titled Streets of Rock n' Roll), join us as we speak to the great Ron Keel, only here on Third Eye Cinema!

Noted madman and guitar virtuoso Jackie Slaughter returns to talk skateboarding stunts, fretboard shredding and the album that took nearly 3 years to release...
Fans of flashy guitar pyrotechnics ala TNT, Yngwie Malmsteen, Shrapnel records, Nitro and Racer X need to tune in for this one...because "shred's not dead"!
Join us as we speak once again to Canada's favorite son, the irrepressible Jackie Slaughter of Skull Fist!

Third Eye Cinema 10/27/13 with Eden's Curse and Dark Age
This week on Third Eye Cinema, a double bill of European metal bands you should be buzzing about!First up, we speak to a man whose band sports a truly international focus! With Germans, Italians, Serbians and Americans all passing through the ranks, these UK-based, traditionally inflected metallers call to mind everything from vintage TNT and Yngwie Malmsteen to Journey!With a short but surprisingly busy career spanning a mere 7 years, they've managed to put out 4 albums, 2 EPs and a single, while maintaining a high level of quality and polish throughout!After a brief period of internal changeover marked most pronouncedly by the loss of their original vocalist, the band is back and sounding better than ever with an even more dynamic frontman and stronger production savvy, big backup vocal-assisted choruses, and a surprisingly uplifting, positively charged lyrical focus!It's no hyperbolic exaggeration to say this may very well be their defining moment on record...Join us as we speak to the irrepressible Paul Logue of Eden's Curse, only here on Third Eye Cinema!Next up, a man whose band has been stumping away for two decades straight, gradually evolving from a straightforward black metal act to death metal to an unclassifiably melodic based sound that incorporates elements of power metal, industrial, gothic metal and more!With often dark and personal lyrics offset by a smooth, clean vocal approach over a driving modern metal backing, this is about as close to emo as metal gets.Join us as we speak to vocalist/guitarist Eike Freese of Dark Age, only here on Third Eye Cinema!
Third Eye Cinema 10/6/13 with Kriadiaz and Sandy Sledge
Coming soon to Third Eye Cinema, something a bit outside our usual purview!First up, we speak to a man whose former act was a fairly major concern in mainstream terms. With tracks appearing on the soundtracks to two major studio horror films and providing the theme for a major professional wrestling event, Mushroomhead made the charts and carry with them a considerable fanbase. Now leading the charge with his own project which taps into a very 90's metal aggro meets southern groove vibe while pulling in some unusual-for-the-style musicianship skills, please join us as we talk the road from Mushroomhead to his own band Kriadiaz with guitarist Dave "Gravy" Felton!Next, we speak with legendary metal drummer Sandy Sledge!As the driving force behind a number of all-female bands throughout the 80's and early 90's, including Rude Girl, Malibu Barbi and Warbride (with the amazing Yngwie style guitarist Lori Linstruth), MI PIT graduate Sandy has worked numerous times with the great Leather Leone of Chastain fame, before taking a right turn into the world of musicals(!). Now, after 20 years apart, Sandy and Leather have reunited to deliver a haunting yet hard hitting slab of traditional style metal, filtered through a postmodern crunch.Join us for an entertaining and informative discussion with Sandy Sledge, only here on Third Eye Cinema!http://www.facebook.com/ThirdEyeCinemahttp://thirdeyecinema.wordpress.com/

Reece a forgotten man in Raiders' O?
By Paul Gutierrez
ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The
Oakland Raiders
' front office obviously thought enough of playmaking fullback
Marcel Reece
to have inked him to a three-year contract extension.
So why does Marcel Reece become Marcel Marceau and disappear in the offense on game days?
The Raiders aim to incorporate FB Marcel Reece into the offense more in the upcoming weeks.
"I know," Oakland general manager Reggie McKenzie said with a smile and a shake of his head this week.
"Some of that is stuff they have as a receiver (so) we have to find him, too. At times he can be covered. At times, when it's designed to go to him, for whatever reason he doesn't get it his way. That falls on a little bit of everybody. But he's definitely a part of the offense now. We'll get him the ball."
Good things seem to happen for the Raiders whenever the matchup nightmare touches the ball.
In the season opener at Indianapolis, Reece caught one pass for nine yards, though quarterback
Terrelle Pryor
missed him downfield for a big gainer when he was wide open.
Sunday against Jacksonville, he rumbled 11 yards to score the Raiders' first touchdown on an opening drive since 2011.
So how do the Raiders get Reece more involved?
"You can hand him the ball," said Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Olson. "Obviously his first carry last week was a touchdown, so maybe I need to hand him the ball more."
Olson smiled.
"The one way you can ensure that a guy gets touches is to hand him the football," he added. "We'll look at that. He's also obviously a threat out in space, as a matchup issue. We look at those things and we make sure he's involved in the progression."
Reece has never griped about how he's used, or rather, not used.
The former college wide receiver-turned-street free agent and practice squad refugee is coming off his first Pro Bowl appearance after catching 52 passes for 496 yards and a touchdown while rushing 59 times for 271 yards in 2012.
"I'm not drawing up the plays," McKenzie said. "I don't know what I'd be doing, maybe a fumblerooskie. He's fine.Ā It was nice for him to score the first (home) touchdown of the year for us. That was nice. Nice run.
"I'm sure we'll seeĀmore of Marcel this year. Trust me."
