Dark Currents by Jacqueline Carey (Author)

No current Talk conversations about this book.
A new series that is set in a small town in the Midwest where the Fae and others can cross into our world. Sometimes you get a glimpse and sometimes it changes your world forever. Daisy is half demon that was conceived during a college weekend trip and now she is is the goddess Hel's mortal representative in town keeping all the non-mortals in line. The death of a visiting college student from a nearby uptight town brings her position out more in the public eye and more in contact with her secret crush. What I liked about this series setup is she has a good female friend and a good family relationship and she talks to both during the course of the book. I'm interested in reading the next
Pretty standard criminal investigation urban fantasy. Disappointing, because "standard" is not something you can say about any of Carey's other series (even if I couldn't get through Banewreaker).
Pretty standard criminal investigation urban fantasy. Disappointing, because "standard" is not something you can say about any of Carey's other series (even if I couldn't get through Banewreaker).
The start of a new urban fantasy trilogy, Dark Currents is definitely headed in the right direction! Taking place in a small tourist town of Pemkowet on the shores of Lake Michigan, I absolutely adored the feel of this community. Everyone knows everyone else and yet its not as low key as you would think because it is a bustling tourist town. It's major draw is that it has an "Underworld" ruled by a Norse goddess, Hel. Her presence makes it possible for other creatures and people of the magical persuasion to exist in the mortal realm.
Now everyone knows humans love the magical and mystical creatures of any kind so this makes Pemkowet an attraction for lookie loos to hopefully catch a glimpse. The main character Daisy happens to be a half human, half demon that functions as Hel's liaison between the Underworld and human community's. She's young and still learning the ropes of her job. Along with having an extremely hot temper she has to contend with constant temptation from her inclinations towards the seven deadly sins. Don't start thinking Dark Currents is one of those Heaven vs Hell stories because it really isn't – or at least I didn't get that feeling. Daisy has a whole barrel of issues to deal with, from discrimination, her temperament and temptations possibly setting off Armageddon to having the hots for a certain werewolf in hiding coworker.
Dark Currents is one that stands out amongst the many urban fantasies I have read because while it had all of the elements there that an urban fantasy reader would look for, it still manages to bring something fresh and unique to the table. There is a wonderful mixture of lore from various cultures as well as a new type of creature I have definitely not seen before. Daisy has a strong personality that is equally matched by a great cast of supporting characters. Not to mention the sexy sizzle factor from a few of them. I can't get my hands on the next book soon enough!
I'll admit that the main reason I bought this book was because I had a store credit at Porter Sq Books for almost exactly the cover price, but I really enjoyed it. The protagonist is irreverant and fallible and snarky and quite good at her supplementary job of investigating supernatural aspects of small town crime (her main job is as a file clerk at the police station). A rich young visitor is found drowned in the river and his conservative family is trying to ruin the tourist trade by saying that the supernatural beings who live in the small Michigan town are a dire threat. Daisy's a half demon and is working with an in the closet werewolf on this case, and there's a new ghoul in town who's helping out. I'm fairly sick of the love triangle thing, if her werewolf partner can stay friendly (hints point to no), and the ghoul is the temptation/bad boy, okay, but then near the end a new mostly human guy is added to the mix (his Jamaican heritage and easy going attitude were interesting, but Carey seems to be conflating Rastafarian with Jamaican). New guy is going to feature in the next book in the series, so we'll see. There's also some best friend drama, a lamia as a godmother, tempation from her demon father (that's the main special snowflake bit, she has the potential to bring on Armageddon *sigh*), and a good mother/daughter relationship that reminds me of Vicky and her mom from the Blood books (hope things don't end the same way!).

"Small town Pemkowet, Mich., is a popular tourist destination for humans. It's also home to a thriving 'eldritch community' of supernatural entities, thanks to the presence of the local underworld controlled by the Norse goddess Hel. Daisy Johanssen, a half-demon trying to dodge her innate attraction to the 'Seven Deadlies' while functioning as Hel's agent on Earth and the local link between the eldritch community and the human police, is called in to help investigate the drowning of a local college boy when signs of both foul play and magical residue are found on the body."… (more)

text: Table 2-4: Armor on page 49 of Dangerous Covenants lists the Mk. III Flak Vest as having a +1 to Soak. It also states in the capsule description that it "gains +1 soak when the wearer suffers damage from the Blast quality." Is this +1 to blast soak from the text *in addition to* the general +1 from the chart, or does the flak vest *only* get a +1 vs Blast (and nothing else)?

Robin Thicke "Blurred Lines" Video: Banned By YouTube!by Free Britney at . Comments
Robin Thicke's unrated music video for "Blurred Lines" apparently blurred the lines of decency in the eyes of YouTube, which yanked it without explanation.
The video, which features a bevy of topless beauties, is no longer posted, although the original (and much more subdued) version remains on the site.
"YouTube took down the Unrated version of #BLURREDLINES because it was too hot," Thicke tweeted, while Pharrell, who collaborated on it, wrote:
"Why they trying to ban good sh-t?"
YouTube also banned the Kate Upton Cat Daddy video last year, only to reinstate it by popular demand. So there's hope if fans make enough of a ruckus.
Then again, Google is also shutting down YouTube altogether in 2023 once the best video of ALL TIME is selected ... or so we were told on April 1.
I'm a senior citizen and I love it...it has a good beat, and very easy to dance to..that should sound familiar to some other seniors....
It violates regulations. Also it supports sexism and rape culture with the lyrics. It is sexist because the women are flat out naked and the men are not so there is a power over the women. They are the entertainment and meat to look at not humans. So it should be banned but many support it because sexism is hard to realize when you have been exposed to it to the point where it's seen as ok.

The gallery serves over 10,000 visitors each year.
Students and community members who are interested in auditioning to join one of the civic music groups should contact the Creative & Liberal Arts Division office.

I'm glad it worked out. Berries seem to be very good at restarting a stuck fermentation, in my experience at least.
I would BS anyone else about this, but you guys are my best friends, so NO BS. Got home from work today, and was actually looking RIGHT AT the air lock filled with strawberry juice thinking..."Mmmm Better do something about that" When KAPOWEE The stopper gave way and the stopper and airlock made it about 3 feet off of the top of the carboy followed by a fiery red rocket trail if mooshed strawberries.
TOO COOL...Got it cleaned up, and said...SH!PP..>I should have taken Pictures.
Sorry....But at least I'm only 4 away from 1000 Posts.
Not to put a damper on the "restart", but it might just be CO2 coming out of solution due to the nucleation sites the berries have created. If it's still going in a couple of days, then it's restarted.
Good Luck,

possible, but they hydrometer will tell all. I know my raspberry melomel got stuck (it wasn't originally gonna be a melomel) at about 1.040 and adding raspberries got it down to 1.021.
as for eruptions, my second mead back when I was just 17, was done without any airlocks, in an ocean spray jug. I'd vent it several times a day (yes it was capped tightly).
well one day while it was venting, it blew the lid completely off and threw a cup of cranberry mead all over the bathroom walls, ceiling and my mother's peach colored cloth bath curtain.
that was hard to explain...being 17 and hiding my brewing...why there was pink and red spots all over the walls.
Today (15 days on fruit)I took the Cousin (blueberry) off of the fruit. It looks great...tastes great...has a gravity of 1.070? WHAT? Turns out that dried blueberries have a LOT of available sugar.
I am preparing a starter of Premiere Cuve to restart fermentation tomorrow afternoon. This could end up in the 15 to 18 % Range.
New Update.
12 days on the fruit, racked off of Strawberries. They were pale and nasty looking.
S.G. 1.000 Taste is very good too.
How did you prepare the dried blueberrys, did you just toss them in or did you rehydrate them in hot water? break them down in boiling water?
That blueberry experience sounds nuts!
I'm thinking to do a still blueberry mead at some point in the not too distant future... how much dried blueberry did you add, and how does the taste compare to using fresh/frozen blueberries?

Australia drought-free for first time in a decade
The Australian government is working with states and territories to develop more effective measures to help farmers during the next drought.
Thu, Apr 26, 2012 at 11:26 PM

SYDNEY — Australia said it would be officially drought-free next week for the first time in more than a decade, providing relief for struggling farmers.
The exceptional dry period, brought on by an intense El Nino weather pattern, sent many of those who work the land to the wall, but Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig on April 28 said an end was in sight.
When he lifts the last two Exceptional Circumstances declarations — which provide subsidies to hard-up farmers — in two areas on April 30, the vast island continent will officially no longer be in drought.
"The extended period of drought, which made things tough for many on the land, is finally over," Ludwig said.
"The seasonal outlook is brighter than it has been for many years and the improved conditions are a welcome reprieve for farmers across Australia."
Australia, with climate zones ranging from the tropical to the alpine, is characterized by extremes.
Its sheer size, location and the fact that it is surrounded by oceans make it especially vulnerable to the El Nino phenomenon and its cousin, La Nina.
While El Nino brought on the drought, La Nina conditions over the past two years have contributed to flooding and downpours across Australia.
Ludwig added he was working with the country's states and territories to put together new policies that would provide more effective measures to help farmers manage risk and prepare for the next drought.

7 Strategies to Divorce-Proof Your Marriage
Feeling disconnected and neglected is the stuff that tears couples apart. Luckily, by doing these concrete things right now, you can bring more respect, appreciation, and compassion into your relationship and in turn prevent harm to your marriage.
By Holly Corbett
Reinvent your relationship
Recognize that every time you hit a life milestone — such as having a baby, losing a job, or moving — it's time for a renegotiation of responsibilities. "If you don't have a conversation, your expectations and needs change, and your mate won't have any idea why you're so frustrated when he's doing the same thing he's always done," says Puhn. Say, our lifestyles have changed in a big way, so here is what I need now. Your mate may not be able to satisfy every need, but you'll be able to come up with a plan together." Let's say your mother is sick. You could tell him you need him to make dinner for the kids even though that's always been your job, or ask him call and check in on the days you take your mom to the doctor. "You may think it's obvious that he should call you, but it might not be to him — and that doesn't necessarily make him a bad person," says Puhn.

Perpetual Collection
The ultimate one-bucket food growing kit for a self-reliant future.
I've been asked by individuals and organizations interested in seed saving and self-reliant living to expand on our Victory Garden collection, and come up with a comprehensive one-bucket food starter kit that would give the purchaser the best chance of growing their own food supply into perpetuity. I've been hesitant to go further than our popular Victory Garden collection because I don't like being seen as trying to scare people into buying products. But after being prodded into reviewing the doomsday seed collections being offered to people on talk radio and prepper sites, I've become convinced that those products are being promoted by otherwise good people who know a lot about marketing, but not too much about vegetable seed.
To be honest, if folks want the peace of mind and are willing to spend their hard earned money to have a starter seed collection, that collection should at the very least give them a fighting chance of success should they need it. As a savvy consumer, I would prefer that a collection be put together by a seedsman, someone who has spent his or her working career growing and evaluating seed varieties. I'd want a seed collection chosen by Rob from Johnny's, or John from Stokes, or Tom from Territorial. Since I am Tom, here is what I would want my family, friends, and customers to have. Please note: I would suggest that the seed in this container be considered a seed saving starter kit. The seed should be grown and replenished as the seasons pass. Simply leaving this kit on your shelf in case you need it in the future, is probably not in your best interest long term.
The seeds chosen for this collection include 70 open pollinated seed varieties that represent the most dependable, top-performing varieties available in the world today. They have been field grown, evaluated and known to be strong, hardy, and high yielding. Also contains 2 cover crops.
In addition, 2 comprehensive books: Seed to Seed by Susan Ashworth will teach you how to reliably grow, harvest, and save your own seed, and Gardening When it Counts by Steve Solomon, founder of Territorial, will be the perfect guide for growing a sustainable food garden with minimal resources. Seed saving containers, Mylar bags, and desiccant packaging to keep moisture at bay. Natural fertilizer for productive crops, plant tags, and a permanent marker to keep plantings organized. Territorial's Spring and Winter catalogs will also be included.
For a list of the seed varieties included please click here.

Jan 9, 2012Kingdom Rush is a beaut of a tower defense game, with new ideas that make it feel extremely polished and refined.
Jul 23, 2012Overall, Kingdom Rush is a very enjoyable game. The gaming challenge and hours of play you will get from it make it one of the best gaming bargains you'll find.
Dec 30, 2011A fantastic package. It's a game that made me take notice, that made a well-trod genre seem a bit fresher and more interesting than it's been in a while.
Dec 28, 2011Brilliantly combining as stiff a task as you're likely to encounter with a perfectly pitched sense of fun, Kingdom Rush breathes new life into the tower defence genre, and has a whole lot of laughs doing it.
Jan 6, 2012Kingdom Rush deserves a lot of goodwill, simply because it's able to make tower defense gameplay feel fresh and fun. In addition to the deep, challenging gameplay, the game's production values are simply outstanding. This is easily one of the best tower defense games currently in the App Store.
Jul 16, 2012Despite the genre already boasting some of the best iPhone games around, Kingdom Rush still manages to shine as one of the best Tower Defence games, even in this more compact form.
Jan 24, 2012If you've never tried tower defense and you want a great introduction to the genre, Kingdom Rush is perfect. If you're devoted to the genre and want to play the prominent examples of it, this is absolutely up your street. But if you've played one or two prototypical tower defense games and are looking for something new, Kingdom Rush doesn't have much to offer.

The Best Electronic Cigarette Guide For 2014
Electronic cigarette starter kits have more options than the disposable electronic cigarette style. These sleek units consist of a rechargeable battery and a nicotine liquid cartridge. Simply charge the battery and screw on a liquid nicotine cartridge and you're all set.
They range in size from cigarette size, to compact flashlight size, and you can get one in almost any color and style. Because of the amount of options and styles available, buying the best rechargeable electronic cigarette starter kit for your needs can be confusing, especially for the first time buyer.
Most medium and heavy smokers prefer a rechargeable electronic cigarette kit over the disposable style because of the cost-savings and versatility they offer. They are more powerful than a disposable and usually have more nicotine per puff.
An electronic cigarette starter kit consist of a rechargeable battery, a charger, and a nicotine liquid cartridge. Simply charge the battery and screw on a liquid nicotine cartridge and you're all set to start using your e-cigarette. Buying a quality e-cigarette starter kit that will satisfy your cravings is crucial.
Your ultimate goal, of course, is to find the best e-cigarette to help you forget about smoking tobacco cigarettes. Buying a pile of worthless parts, or even low quality e-liquid, will turn your hopes of a tobacco free life, into a disappointing waste of money. If this has happened to you already, do not give up. Just keep trying different electronic cigarettes until you find your perfect device.
Somewhere out there, is the perfect electronic cigarette for you. If you have already tried a disposable electronic cigarette, you should already know a little about what you are looking for. You will want to focus your attention on the qualities you find most valuable. You may have wanted more flavor, or a longer lasting battery. Keep these desires in mind as you shop and remember, the bigger the battery the longer it will work before needing a recharge.
If you choose the smaller sizes, get at least two batteries so you can charge one while using the other. Most manufactures estimate the number of puffs per cartridge, or associate one cartridge to blank packs of smokes, but that will vary depending on the intensity of your drag. Most claim 1-2 packs equal one cartridge. I find these estimates to be seldom true at best.
Many smokers will tend to take deeper & longer drags with an e-cigarette at first because the vapor is not as dense as a tobacco cigarette and most smokers are looking for a burning feeling in their lungs that is just not present with an e-cigarette. So don't expect a nicotine cartridge to last as long as 2 packs of smokes and you won't be disappointed. Remember, it is the nicotine you are addicted to. You don't need the heavy feeling in your lungs to be satisfied.
Find a rechargeable e-cigarette brand and flavor you enjoy, try different levels of nicotine to see what level you prefer. Listed below are several of the best rechargeable e-cigarettes of 2013. They come in many different styles and price points and are capable of providing all the satisfaction you need, and the flavor you desire.
Many smokers find rechargeable electronic cigarettes the best style for everyday use. Please remember you are not completely satisfied with a rechargeable e-cigarette, don't give up, instead try a more advanced unit like an eGo or personal vaporizer. Most of the rechargeable e-cigarette kit will use different nicotine cartridges, so grab plenty of replacement cartridges to have on hand as you probably can't find that particular cartridge locally.
If you are just getting started, find yourself a quality starter kit. An electronic cigarette starter kit is a great way to start your new life as a non-smoker. Make sure you get a kit with several different flavor cartridges so you can try many different flavors.
Expect to pay between $40-$100 for a complete rechargeable electronic cigarette starter kit that has all you need to start vaping. The more you spend, the more likely you are to be happy with your selection.
You can however spend less for a smaller kit that will give you a good idea of the flavor and vapor of each device. Just do yourself a favor and don't assume that a cheap e-cigarette is going to have the best flavor and vapor production as a higher-end device. Just like anything else, you can expect a higher price for the good stuff.

With the option to use a refillable cartomizer or a pre-filled cartridge you will have the ability to change your setup when you want to. Using the refillable tanks will save you money in the long run. Because of the choice of tanks, you will need to choose one and buy it separately to complete this versatile kit.

Overall rating
Apollo has been a staple in the electronic cigarette industry for a long time. They have two e-cig starter kits to choose from as well as e-gos, and MODS, in case you need something more. Each of their starter kits offer everything you need to start vaping and to keep vaping. Choose between a portable charger kit in the Standard Kit, or choose the bigger battery that comes in the Extreme Kit. What ever you choose, you will make a good choice with Apollo.
Taste Like Tobacco!
Overall rating
I really love this brand. They have a good product that really tastes like a tobacco cigarette. The big reason Cigavette is different is the "Smart Chip" that is in charge of the heating element. Unlike any other electronic cigarette, Cigavette has made it possible to take a slow drag or a fast drag and get the same taste and vapor. It doesn't matter how you use it, it will adjust to you. The most realistic tobacco flavor of any of the brands I have tried. Very straightforward to use and fairly inexpensive. If you need more power, they also have two e-go electronic cigarettes that are more powerful and have longer lasting batteries.

Overall rating
If you have been online looking at electronic cigarette reviews for more than 5 minutes, you have heard about V2. They are one of the most popular e-cigarette companies online. They have a super good vapor and a really satisfying flavor. V2 has the biggest selection of electronic cigarette starter kits as well with something for everyone.

Charlies Club
Overall rating
Charlies Club gives you – for free – two long-life rechargeable batteries with a USB and wall charger – and you only pay for the refills.

The weekly trips to the gas station are over – no more worrying about running low or hoping your local stop has any in stock – the guess work is completely removed. This concept would not work if they didn't taste amazing or provide a great throat hit, and thankfully these important factors are extremely well done. Take The Tour and see for yourself!

I am only familiar with this term when I know about the anime.
- Is this term only use in Japan?
Sometimes I read the light novel on the internet but I never saw the book myself. How is light novel different from regular novel? Except for light novel is... light, are there any other differences?
And usually I see the cover in manga drawing:
- Is light novel use exclusively for anime or manga adaptation?
- Is there any light novel that do not use manga style drawing?
I tried to search "Light Novel Cover" the result is as expected:

White iPhone 4 delayed again
Those desperate to get their hands on a white iPhone 4 will have to wait until 2011, as Apple has again delayed its release, this time until next spring. This is the third time the date has been pushed back, but this time Apple is not saying why - unlike previous occasion. Days after the first iPhone 4 was launched, Apple …
Spring release?
Will it really be worth buying one in the spring knowing full well there will be a successor around June/July time?
Obviously Apple won't just abort making it as it would be a PR disaster.
Not related to the
poisoned chinese workers, then?
You can still get a white iPhone now if you're that impatient....
Maybe they are trying to reduce the Chinese worker body count
Obviously there must be significant challenges for Jobs commitments to be questioned so many times.
Could it be the hazardous production chemicals and processes are resulting in an 'unacceptable' phone unit count to production worker injury ratio?
All this to satisfy someone's vanity. Hell of a price for the poor Chinese working stiff who gets pennies for their hours work.
How hard can it be?
Not that I'm bothered about getting one (the iPhone5 - or will it be iPhoneV?) but really, how hard can it be to get colours to match?
I'm not really convinced by the 'redesign' theory either, it's only a different colour case??? I think someone's just thrown their toys out of the pram!
It wouldn't surprise me if...
At this rate the white iPhone will end up being used as a major selling point for the iPhone 5!
Defo a redesign job...
...and it won't harm a new one will be out in about half a year after that.
Apple just realised that, after all, the white version just looks crap and decided to keep delaying it until the iPhone 5 is ready and they can just forget it ever happened....

Burdens of top seed not being felt by these Wildcats
by Zak Keefer
IU NCAA Final Four Student News Bureau
NEW ORLEANS 'Äď Pressure?
Pressure wore an appallingly ugly orange jersey Saturday night. It flashed a full-court press that would not relent and a grit that would not succumb.
Win 36 of the season's first 38 games and you'll be asked about this pressure. Romp through a conference slate without losing a single game, and you'll hear of it. Enter the NCAA Tournament an overwhelming favorite, slide through the first two weekends with four consecutive double-digit wins and it'll await you on the final weekend of the college basketball season.
Sometimes, though, pressure is no match for the talent and togetherness of the nation's finest basketball team.
Before a raucous Superdome crowd in New Orleans Saturday evening, the burdens accompanying the presumptive NCAA title favorite met the Kentucky Wildcats. It came in the form of the Louisville Cardinals, a valiant bunch that threw one rally punch after another at their intrastate rival.
Pressure? The ever-cool Cats responded each time.
There was the arcing alley-oop throwdown from All-America center Anthony Davis. There was the swipe and finish from the smooth senior, Darius Miller. There was the 3-point answer to a Cardinal run from the ever-efficient seventh man, Kyle Wiltjer.
'ÄúWe'Äôre from Kentucky,'ÄĚ Davis said appropriately after the 69-61¬†victory. 'ÄúWe'Äôre built for this.'ÄĚ
Now, they reap the reward: a spot in Monday's national title tilt with Kansas.
Panic from the Wildcats on this night was nonexistent. Confidence ran deep. A 37-2 record and the top overall seed in the tournament yields such.
'ÄúWe'Äôve been successful in those situations throughout the whole year,'Ä̬†Miller said. 'ÄúI don'Äôt have any doubt. This is what we'Äôve been reaching¬†for. At the end of this game, we have a chance to win a national¬†championship. That'Äôs been our goal from day one.'ÄĚ
The Cardinals offered a worthy upset bid 'Äď by pressing relentlessly¬†throughout the contest, they forced the Wildcat guards to cough up 14¬†turnovers. By keeping their foot on the gas, Louisville blitzed UK¬†with a number of second half runs, none more worrisome than a burst¬†midway through that knotted the game at 49.
No matter. Head coach John Calipari huddled his team precocious team together and told them to forget about the possibility of losing.
'ÄúJust play to win,'ÄĚ he said.
They nodded. Then they executed.
Ten minutes and eight seconds later, the Wildcats were eight-point winners. Now they are one victory shy of the program's eighth national championship.
'ÄúI'Äôm proud of this team,'ÄĚ Calipari said afterwards. 'ÄúThey'Äôve taken on¬†shots and runs like Louisville'Äôs today and they'Äôve held their own.'ÄĚ
Shot after shot, punch after punch. Paced by a well-oiled attack that featured seven scorers, UK put on full display what it has done all season: when you mix superior talent with unwavering unselfishness, you're going to be a difficult opponent to beat.
When the dust settled, the Wildcats were left standing, their foundation very much intact.
'ÄúThey'Äôre not afraid of the big moments and the pressures that go along¬†with it,'ÄĚ Louisville guard Kyle Kuric said of the Wildcats. 'ÄúThey'Äôre a¬†very confident group. They never seemed rattled.'ÄĚ
For the second time in three months, Louisville learned the hard way. To beat the Cats, on this evening, Rick Pitino's club would've had to play perfect.
'ÄúYou'Äôre going to have to play great offense, great defense and you¬†have got to bring your A-plus game,'ÄĚ Pitino said.
Kentucky rolls on to the final night of the college basketball calendar. Their approach to Monday's title game will be the same as it
was Saturday, the same it was on the practice floor in November.
'ÄúWe'Äôre not changing how we'Äôre playing,'ÄĚ Calipari said. 'ÄúWe'Äôre playing¬†to win. We'Äôre an attacking team. That'Äôs what we are. I don'Äôt want them¬†to change. They haven'Äôt changed all year.'ÄĚ
That's a welcomed mantra for a program rooted in so much history. In Lexington, there are national championship seasons. Then there is every other year.
See you Monday night.

Chinese Food on Christmas Day
- fldhkybnva Nov 28, 2012 10:47 AM
Of course now that Thanksgiving has passed I already have my sights on Christmas (bows head in too much holiday excitement shame). We have traditionally cooked a big meal on Christmas Day, but a few years ago when my family spent time with my lovely Jewish SO's family they introduced us to the Chinese food on Christmas Day tradition and it has stuck for a few years now. Does anyone else traditionally skip all the cooking and cleaning and have Chinese food on Christmas Day?
It's funny you mentioned this. We always went to my Aunt and Uncle's for Christmas. My uncle has since passed away, and my aunt is in a nursing home. Every Christmas we take her out to eat. I had just mentioned to my sister the notion of having Chinese food for Christmas and she was all over the idea. I think it will become a great tradition in my family from now on..
re: foodieX2
Yea, ^^^. While I love Chinese food the thought of missing out on the cooking fiesta and all the good Christmas eats (though, in our house they are the same as the Thanksgiving eats but nonetheless craveworthy and delicious) sometimes makes me want to start a campaign for the old tradition, perhaps we should institute and even/odd year alternation.
Go to NYC's Chinatown for Dim Sum or Dinner.....and you will give up Chinese Food on Christmas Day... The place is crazy
: 0 )
i love this idea, however we generally spend Christmas day with family and they would NEVER go for it. :\
It's always been a Jewish tradition. And like most Jewish traditions, it has a practical base - Chinese restaurants were the only thing open on Christmas.
We start our day by serving food at a soup kitchen in San Francisco, board games in the afternoon, Chinese for dinner and then a movie
We observe the day by celebrating my spouse's birthday in the AM, then going out for Vietnamese.
Anyone a fan of the movie "A Christmas Story"? Where they end up having Christmas Dinner at the local chop suey joint? Priceless.
Actually, for us, Chinese takeout is our traditional "day after" holiday meal.
Yes, every year.
And I'm not even Jewish.
In fact, with our family every day is like Christmas Day ...
Not for Christmas, but for Christmas Eve. We all gather at my nieces house. It has been a tradition to have take out Chinese.There will be twelve of us this year. It's fun.
Chinese food on Christmas Day - yep, Bacardi1, it definitely reminded me of "The Christmas Story" I saw many years ago :-)
Elena Kagan made a big deal and joke about it.
In fact the busiest times of most of the more popular Chinese restaurants are around the festivities...Mother's Day, Father's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and of course Chinese New Year's eve/Chinese New Year's Day.
We've been trying to break tradition a few times by having Italian or American on Chinese New Year, just to avoid the crowds at Chinese restaurants. (where at times you get upsold the special banquet menu of pure mediocrity, like it was someone's wedding and the food was not so great).
Chinese and a movie....................American Jewish tradition for December 25. That's what's been open.
That said, the last 10 years a number of Turkish restaurants, and Turkish owned formerly Greek owned diners have opened in southern Connecticut giving us more choice. It's not there holiday either, and we minorities have to support each other.
re: bagelman01
We have Christian friends who do the movie theatre thing too!
re: bagelman01
This tradition is well known enough that there is a song about it
We found a great new takeout place this year so I need to decide how soon is too soon to call and inquire about Christmas hours...don't want to show my eagerness too much!
re: fldhkybnva
You can call and inquire if you want, but I've yet to find ANY Chinese restaurant that wasn't open on Christmas Day.
re: Bacardi1
In our area there are a number of Chinese restaurants that are owned by Chinese Chjristians that are closed on Dec 25, though they are a very small minority
re: bagelman01
Probably safer to call our favorite place to find out if they are open I imagine? I assume they would know now. Otherwise, it might have to be plan B
re: Bacardi1
In Minnesota even the Chinese restaurants are closed on Christmas. My niece and her husband found that out a few years ago. They spent a decade living in California and developed a tradition of Chinese takeout for Christmas Eve dinner. I told them they're all closed and they didn't believe me. They might be open on Christmas Day however, I haven't checked.
The question I have is aren't there any Jewish restaurants/delis open on Christmas?
re: John E.
According to this....There are only 150 Jewish Delis still open/remaining in all of North America.
re: fourunder
No no no. Oh my. Only 150 left? So sad.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Since the video was produced, Stage closed and Sarge's was hit with a fire.....a tough week for NYC Delicatessens
re: fourunder
Ok, suddenly I want to find a Jewish deli in my area, but I am sure there are none...
re: fourunder
Ha ha ha . At 9:55: I am not a light weight here.
re: John E.
Kosher restaurants in major Jewish communities such as Brooklyn, Long Island, Northern NJ, Baltimore, etc are likely to be open on a non Jewish sabbath December 25.
'Jewish' delis and kosher restaurants in smaller communities are likely to be closed, as they are more likely to be staffed by non-Jewish employees.
Years ago when I was in the business, we operated our deli takeout counter on Dec 25, but closed our dining room. All of our waitresses were Christian and we wouldn't dream of asking them to work on their holy day. Our family covered the counter and register.
re: bagelman01
Baltimore has a large Jewish community, but also a big Catholic following as well so I will definitely check with the restaurant for Christmas Day and hopefully will not be disappointed and can cook up a storm on Christmas Eve and New Year's
re: bagelman01
I figured as such, and in many places, many of the customers are Christian as well. It's amazing when driving in Minnesota on Christmas Eve evening, absolutely nothing is open. You would have to look a long time to even find a gas station open, maybe near a freeway but that's it.
re: fldhkybnva
Confirmed - open!
My mother always prepared a large turkey dinner when she was at home. Now that she lives in an assisted living facility, when we aren't invited out, we go to a local Chinese restaurant and have crab. Love turkey, love crab too.
One day I requested a pair of chopstick while dining at Zahav, the modern Israeli restaurant in Philadelphia. The manager told me that they only have chopsticks for their customers around X'mas time when they serve Chinese-style food. Isn't that interesting? Jewish restaurant serving Chinese food at X'mas time?
To further illustrate the subculture of how some Jewish and Chinese people celebrate X'mas, one can find many of us on the ski slopes then. Not only because many of us try to get away from the gift exchanges and perhaps a lonely feeling, but also because we get to enjoy ski discounts at "off" season. Last year, in Vermont, after spending X'mas day at a ski resort, our gang ended up having diner at a local Chinese restaurant. The restaurant was CROWDED, the food was so-so, but the mood was jovial.
So, if you are wondering about how to find folks to pass the holiday with, a ski slope lounge is a fine place to be in - bring your ipad and watch streamed movies/TV shows or your kindle to read some books. There wi-fi is avaiable and free. In the evening, hit a Chinese restaurant for noise and some "fa-ra-ra-ra-ra". It's not X'mas until I sing the song that way on X'mas day because I love the movie "A Christmas Story", too.
I don't need to "go out" for Chinese food on Christmas Day. I often cook my own. It is an error to assume that *everyone* cooks (only) Western/Caucasian-USAmerican type food for Christmas, or that such food is "traditional". Traditional for whom? ;-)
Here's a not-untypical menu for Christmas chez huiray, from a few years back, from notes I wrote then, spread out over the day and omitting the cookies and drinkies (alcoholic) from the listing:
Mapo Tofu sans Chili:
Sauteed julienned garlic, minced sirloin, crumbled firm tofu, Hoisin sauce, chopped green onions.
Pan-seared & Stir-fried Napa Cabbage with Flor de Sal.
Boiled basmati rice
Harm Choy Tong
Short-cut Pork Spare Ribs:
Steamed with Garlic Black Bean Sauce, chopped garlic, sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms, topped with cilantro florets.
Deep-Fried Tofu slices, with Lingham's Hot Sauce.
White Rice.
Crab Cakes à la huiray, with blanched baby Bok Choy.
Spinach in Clear Broth.
Roast Leg of Lamb:
With Flor de Sal, fresh ground pepper, garlic slivers; caramelized with peaches in syrup.
Roasted fresh carrots.
Klondike Red & Gold Potatoes.
re: huiray
Hey Ray,
What time is dinner? I can pass on my cousin's turkey and oyster stuffing. He has a very traditional American Christmas meal, but his Thai wife usually makes a salad that includes toasted red chili peppers. In the good old days (before it was illegal and prohibitively expensive), his father made sharks fin soup.
I am Jewish and that was not our family's tradition, nor did any of my other Jewish friends do that. Friends just hung out and then went home for a regular dinner.
Where I live now, I have a Jewish friend whose family tradition was to have cioppino on Christmas Eve, and they opened all their Chanukah presents (no matter when Chanukah actually was).
I might cook a special dinner (meaning, something more labor intensive) for my son but no other tradition for us.
My family celebration rotates between Christmas Eve (day) and Christmas Morning plus we celebrate Roast Beast plus always a trip for dim sum.
<my lovely Jewish SO's family they introduced us to the Chinese food on Christmas Day tradition and it has stuck for a few years now>
Jewish celebrate Christmas with Chinese foods. There is something very funny about this.
Exactly what does it really means? Do the Jewish family MAKES the Chinese food? Do they order the Chinese food in? Do they go to a Chinese restaurant and eat Chinese food there?
I definitely have had Chinese food on Christmas.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Why is that funny?
It was traditionally the only places open on Christmas.
re: ipsedixit
I used to date a Jewish Girl.......every year on Christmas Day, she and I would get together with her family...which consisted of her maternal grandparents and their 3 daughters, who married three friends and their families. Her mother was one of the daughters and the aunts were the other two. The oldest daughter always used to complain that since they were Jewish it was not proper to get together in one of their homes on Christmas Day, as it was not their holiday. She found the idea ridiculous and offensive. The get together was was rotated between the Grandparents home and the daughters each year. Instead, she suggested they no longer host in the home, but rather go out for Chinese Food.
I guess by going out for Chinese Food, in her mind she was not celebrating Christmas.
I could never understand that.....brw, in my neck of the woods of Northern New Jersey....Greek Diners never close.
re: Chemicalkinetics
It was explained to me that this is fairly common among Jewish families on Christmas to order Chinese takeout/delivery since they are usually the only restaurants open. I assume non-Jewish people can also have Chinese food either cooked or ordered if they would like on Christmas. From what I gathered, it's a well-known trend among Jews, though I could be mistaken.
re: fldhkybnva
Probably a very normal tradition for anyone who want to order anything on Christmas. That being said, Chinese restaurants are not the only places which open on Christmas. It is just that there are many more Chinese restaurants. Many Korean, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Pakistan, Afghan ...etc restaurants are open on Christmas too. You get the idea. Many non-Christian restaurants are open on Christmas.
re: Chemicalkinetics
As I said somewhere else on this thread, even the Chinese restaurants are closed for Christmas in Minnesota. My guess is that the majority of their customers aren't coming in or ordering takeout on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
re: John E.
<As I said sonewhere else on this thread, even the Chinese restaurants are closed for Christmas in Minnesota.>
Yep, I later read your above post. Good post.
Traditionally nope, we eat at home. Only once have I gone out for Chinese and that was when my mom was being a complete martyr over her Christmas meal and my sister and I left on a made up errand and didn't come back till late that night.
re: klyeoh
Clearly, the Jewish God is not the same as the Christian God -- based on the post.
Sounds good to me. I mean, Why not!? Chinese food is great! Heck, I could eat it practically everyday. The Japanese have a tradition of ordering big buckets of KFC fried chicken for Christmas so I dont see anything inherently incorrect about having Chinese food on Christmas.... it may not be "traditional" but as long as your enjoying the meal and having a good time
Well, the Christmas holiday may be a week and a few days away but the crew is already gearing up. I have received several phone calls with requests as we like to call ahead of time to give the restaurant time to prepare our family too-large-for-the-number-of-people-eating order.
Any tips for day after leftovers? I always look forward to them similar to Thanksgiving leftovers but then somehow just abandon the reheating cause though I know that they tend to reheat well as my SO digs right in warm or cold.
My fiancé isn't Jewish but his family only celebrates on Christmas Day. They are very religious and church is for Sunday so unless Christmas is on Sunday it is not part of the celebration.
So he uses to do Chinese every Christmas Eve. My family is Italian so Christmas Eve is our big day. This makes the scheduling fairly easy but I feel bad because I know he misses his tradition.
We celebrate Christmas Eve nowadays with our Daughter in law and her catholic family.They always do Chinese take-out on Christmas Eve - it does get very lively, fun. Quite a change from the leisurely Fondue we used to do with our children....
While not a Jewish family, we've def done all sorts of cuisines for Christmas.
This year on Christmas Eve we're hosting a sushi party with the help of a local sushi chef. We all pitched in to hire him and anticipate a great night.
If there are classic traditions for Christmas celebrating I'm sure I've never experienced one. We just don't roll that way.

Schiaparelli Couture SS14 show (Style.com)
With Haute Couture Week well under way, there's no denying that us beauty ladies are in total heaven. After all, what's not to love about extravagant beauty trends, jaw-dropping make-up creations and stunning hairstyles? Point exactly. So when we spied the textured creations on the heads of the models at the Schiaparelli show [above], we were intrigued to see frizz has truly gone fashion.
But should we be embracing our daily hair dilemmas rather than battling against them? We caught up with A-list hairstylist Luigi Murenu to talk all things haute frizz. So if you're ready to work your natural texture, read on and learn…
1. Couture Frizz
Who would have thought the day would come when we could forget frizz fighting and embrace our fluffy hair instead? A little sporty, a lot ethereal and with buckets of chic, this season's couture frizz is all about working high-impact hair- but with a serious point of difference. "From soft leather to angora knits and animal prints, texture is so prevalent in this season's catwalk collections, and this has been reflected in the way hair is being styled," explains Luigi. "This look embraces the natural fluffiness many of us naturally have in our hair, and is a fabulous way of expressing a little bit of you in a fashion-forward way." The key thing here is to maintain a contrast in texture between the sleek, high-shine top section and graphic candyfloss-effect ponytail by crimping only the lower lengths of your hair.
TOP TIP: "Always use a heat-protecting styling product when working with crimpers or straightening irons. It's an absolute must," says Luigi.
2. Catwalk Kinks
Glossy meets grunge in this modern take on groomed hair, favoured by A-listers Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Leighton Meester. "As backstage beauty areas have swapped straight hair for looser curls and kinked waves, we have started to embrace hair's irregularities, which is great because natural texture is very beautiful," says Luigi Murenu. Want in? Blow-dry damp hair, then add irregular waves with a waving iron. Brush the kinks out and add extra oomph with a blast of Kerastase Powder Bluff Dry Shampoo, £23.
TOP TIP: "Leave the ends of hair straight, for a modern, graphic finish," says Luigi.
3. The Great Unwashed
There's a good reason why we love second-day hair: come day two, there's no denying that it has a far superior texture and hold than before, giving the perfect starting point for trying these glossy, glamazon waves. What's more, this look is easier to create than you think. Luigi recommends using a volumising mousse like Kerastase Mousse Bouffant, £21, and says not to be afraid of a wayward wave because "free hair with movement is huge right now- and what will be will be."
TOP TIP: "A curling iron, like BaByliss PRO Wand, £25, is just the thing to create loose, bouncy curls."

What is not on the City's budget has some Crozet residents up-in-arms. Residents of the assisted living facility Mountainside say that without funding from the city, they could be left homeless.
Mountainside Assisted Living Facility has been funded by the state, Albemarle County and also the City of Charlottesville for the past three years. But this year the proposed budget does not include Mountainside at all.
Mountainside officials said if they don't get at least some of the funding from the city, they will be forced to close down. If that's the case, 103 residents would be without a place to live. Some residents have been living there for almost a decade and they can't afford to live in an assisted living facility on their own.
"Because of my financial situation I [would] have no where to go," said Thomas Marshall.
"I would be awfully disappointed if they didn't give us funding because I like living here," said Nancy Barnett.
"As soon as I walked in this place I fell in love with it," said Thomas Sandridg.
City council member, Kevin Lynch, said Mountainside asked for help for "one time funding" several years ago. They had that extended for three additional years under the assumption that over time they would start funding it through private donations. But now they are back, asking for more money.
It is leading officials to asking the question, is the city the right place to go for that extra money? Now, city council has the ultimate decision but they will hear from Mountainside residents at the city council meeting.
JABA officials say that most of the residents are living on only $13,000 a year.

Like singing sisters Shelby Lynne and Allison Moorer (who witnessed their alcoholic father kill their mother), singer-songwriter Jimmy Wayne is a walking country song -- the messed-up Merle Haggard kind, that is. He saw his stepfather shoot his stepsister three times, leaving her paralyzed. His mother was imprisoned (for what, no one wants to say publicly).Wayne spent his youth in and out of foster homes and was, albeit briefly, homeless.
Born in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, Wayne joined his mother in the church choir, something that would later inspire him. When his mom was sent to prison when he was 12, he began writing songs as therapy. He eventually fell into lawlessness himself, collecting marijuana seeds from local dealers, mixing them with vegetable leaves and selling them as "joints." A year after that, Wayne survived an attempt by his stepfather to kill him. (He pushed his father's arm just before the gun went off.) Despite his hard-knock life, he found a job on the right side of the law as a prison guard after high school. At one point, he had to escort one of his foster brothers, as described in the song "Blue and Brown," from his self-titled debut for DreamWorks.
His fledgling country career landed him the hit "Stay Gone," a painful story of his sister trying to leave an abusive relationship. It doesn't appear that Wayne is going anywhere unlawful or harrowing anytime soon. He's gone from wayward child to a different kind of hell -- opening for the Charlie Daniels Band in front of 7,000 fans at the Grand Ole Opry.

Nearly Half of Americans Participate in Outdoor Recreation
WASHINGTON, DC – Almost 143 million Americans, or 49.2 percent of the US population, participated in an outdoor activity at least once in 2013.

If you are new to this site the pastors wife, Marie Chiasson was diagnosed with stage 4b liver cancer in Nov 2013 and there are updates posted here so people can pray. We believe God answers prayers mightily!!
We were in Sydney today for a cat scan and a meeting with the doctor afterwards. The tumor on her neck is almost gone and where there were multiple tumors on her liver there is one. This tumor has also shrunk as well!!. The chemo has not been easy as it has caused an ongoing fever especially in the evenings. This has been managed with Tylenol but it is tiring. The doctor has recommended that she take a further break from chemo for another 10 days. We are grateful for the break as the effects of chemo accumulate on the body. Once again thank you for your prayers and care. We are grateful to the Lord for answered prayer and trusting Him day by day. Remember it was highly unlikely as far as the doctor was concerned that she would be alive past January 2014. God is good and we trust him for each moment and find His strength is enough for our weakness.

NORTH NAPLES, Fla - The verdict is in and the fate of a North Naples Church is uncertain. After a week long trial, a jury agreed with State Farm Insurance that it was not a sinkhole that forced Faith Community Church off Immokalee Road to close.
Pastor Roy Shuck says fixing the damage inside the church will cost at least $300,000 and unless they receive a generous gift, selling the building may be their only option.
For more than year, Faith Community Church has sat on unstable ground. County leaders deemed the building unsafe, closing down the daycare and forcing the congregation to meet elsewhere.
Geologists determined it was a sink hole, but State Farm denied the insurance claim. They argued organic materials were buried under the church and a jury sided with State Farm.
"It was like someone kicked you in the gut," says Pastor Roy Shuck. It was very difficult because we had good evidence of sink hole, we had good witnesses. State Farm obviously had the very best of everything."
Walking through the church last year Pastor Roy Shuck points out cracks in the walls and uneven floors. Now, he and parishioners have to figure out whether fixing the damage is an option and what's next for the church.
"There's a lot of shock, a lot of tears," says John Danby. "But, also you can hear resolution, we're not done."
"I don't think it's the end of the church itself, the congregation is not the building," says Pastor Roy.
Pastor Roy says there is a silver lining. He says because the insurance company won, there legally isn't a sinkhole. "That's maybe a good thing that we don't have that hanging over our head now."
Church leaders are meeting Tuesday evening to discuss what to do. In the meantime they will continue to hold their services at the Community School of Naples.

Another month passes by followed with a good report of no crimes in our community. I am very pleased of our measures we take to thwart crime. If anyone attended the personal safety crime seminar taught by officers Bianez and Dawson, they did a great job! Hope everyone enjoyed the Balloon Festival. Those residents with pets that live outside, I highly recommend that they be brought inside for the duration of any firework displays. I did hear of reports that dogs broke out of the perimeter fences and owners were looking for them. This should also apply to other holidays that celebrate with fireworks such as the 4th of July. Fireworks can throw your pet into a frenzy of fright and flight. Not all pets are affected the same way but a lot of them are. Pets are members of our family too and we should always look out for their well-being. On another point being the good neighbors that we are, be sure to clean or pickup behind your pets. Not a good thing to leave a Doggy DNA calling card on your neighbors lawn. Well with that being said, I hope everyone continues to maintain our much vigilant stance on crime. Thanks for your unwavering support.

Home Safety Tips:
A) Keep car keys next to your bed while you sleep. If you hear a suspicious noise and suspect someone is trying to break in, press the panic button on the key-ring. The car alarm will sound, and the burglar will have no choice but to leave the scene.
B) Plant thorny shrubs beneath ground floor windows. They will add beauty and also deter burglars as well.
C) Don't store wood near the side of a house. It can be used by intruders as a stepladder to a window.
D) If you don't have a security system, at least purchase a decal or stake out sign that will deter less-experienced thieves from entering.

'Socratic Dialogue' Conducted Over Blind Trusts
