The Anti-Saloon League began with a modest following in 1893 to becoming a major political force in lobbying for a Constitutional amendment. Their goal, under the guidance of their president, Rev. Howard Hyde Russell, was to unify the anti-alcohol sentiment already brewing in society and to enact further legislation to prohibit the sale and consumption of alcohol. Grounded in moral and religious ideals, the movement was able to spread information via pamphlets, newspapers, and the spoken word. Originating in Ohio, the American temperance organization was able to flow southward, slowly encompassing a nation.
An article written in the Washington Post in 1897 exemplifies the efforts made by the organization to illustrate their cause and purpose throughout society. The realized the need to come together as a cohesive unit in the area. The Washington D.C. area, with 15 temperance organizations, convened with the Montgomery, Maryland County League seeking greater cooperation. The article made it seem relatively easy. However, the J.C. Jackson understood that the league struggled at first due to organizational and financial difficulties. Besides discussing organizational problems, the meeting conferred about the actions taken by members to badger grocers who profited from alcohol-related sales. The President was then authorized to appoint a committee whose purpose was to prepare a list of all grocers who recently received a liquor license. This was essential to the cause of the Anti-Saloon League. They wanted sales to cease, thus patronizing liquor salesperson was one of many necessary tactics incorporated. Such agitation meetings were usually held on Sunday with official leaders present. In 1908, there were at least 15,000 meetings. This number, however, fails to take into account the numerous meetings regarding prohibition, political good-citizenship, and law enforcement that the league had either a direct or an indirect relationship with.
Such meetings of prohibition in the country were essential to the South. Prohibitionist began making headway beginning with the execution of a new, more powerful liquor law was put into place. It exemplifies the coming of the Progressive movement that was extensive throughout the early years of the 20th century South. Church and political leaders believed that a large portion of societal problems, such as poverty, sickness, and crime were heavily due to alcohol. Due to the help of the evangelicals, Protestants, and Republican party, prohibition laws were able to be ratified. The Anti-Saloon League as well as the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, were able to gain local and state wide option laws in most states; finally culminating in 1919 with the passage of the 18th Amendment. Prohibition dealt with humanizing institutions to adhere to newfound prized values and traditions. The southern ethos of the 20th century hurt the liquor industry doing the prohibition era. This resulted in the rise of moonshining. Instead of paying a federal tax on liquor, some would take upon themselves and make their own liquor.

CONCORD, NH -- A New Hampshire man in prison for manslaughter has had his sentence reduced, thanks to help from the victim's parents, reports WMUR in Boston.
Christopher Bazar pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the 2011 shooting death of his roommate and best friend, Donald St. Laurent. Bazar admitted to drinking and smoking marijuana at the time of the incident, and has served three years in prison.
Bazar was granted a sentence reduction Thursday after his victim's parents begged for leniency. St. Laurent's parents also offered Bazar shelter and a job.
Bazar will leave prison and live with St. Laurent's mother. And the victim's father is giving Bazar a roofing job with his construction company.
"Just the end of a long road and the beginning of a new one," said Bazar after having his sentence reduced. "It's a good day. It's a great day."
"He's my other son," said Deborah St. Laurent. "My son loved him. I love my son more than life."
Speaking before the parole board Thursday, the victim's father said everyone involved has suffered, and it's time for the healing to begin.

Air of excitement as hoop season tips off
By Don Fennell
Published 1:12 PST, Fri November 30, 2018
When legendary Richmond educator Bob Carkner introduced his sons and their young classmates to basketball in the 1970s, it's unlikely he imagined the heights of popularity the roundball game would reach on Lulu Island.
Today, Richmond's youth basketball league—which Carkner spawned with his biddy program—is enjoying record levels of participation. And with the tip-off of the high school season, excitement is at a feverish pitch.
Falling just a game shy last spring of reaching the provincial championships for a fourth straight year, the McMath Wildcats senior girls' team is set on returning to the show.
Though five players from last year's team have graduated, including two-time Richmond MVP Abby Zawada who is now playing at the University of Fraser Valley and first team all-star Martha Melaku at Capilano University, McMath (7-0 and Richmond champions last year) seem poised to be a powerhouse.
The only team from the Lower Mainland to start the year ranked in the top 15 in the province, McMath has a competitive schedule that coaches Chris Kennedy (in his 32nd year) and Anne Gillrie Carre (in her 43rd year) are confident will help prepare the team for playoffs. That heavy schedule begins early, with the Wildcats to face provincial powers Abbotsford, South Kamloops and Walnut Grove all before the Christmas break.
McMath will be led by six returning Grade 12s including last year's second team all-star Jayna Wilson and the school's Grade 11 athlete of the year Morgan Flynn. Other seniors are Jazmine Tufnail, Madison Bigras, Leah Hillman and Bella Lawson.
There are also five underage players on this year's squad: Abby Bodden, Kate Carkner and Hope Chan, all coming off final-four appearances at last year's Grade 9 provincials. Caitlin Kippan and Marina Radocaj are regarded as two of the province's top Grade 8 players, and join Liz Kennedy as the only three girls in the 20-year history of McMath to be full-time senior players as Grade 8s.
Grade 10s Grace Wallace, Fran Trahan and Amani Mahamoor complete the roster.
McMath also proved to be a power among Richmond's senior boys' teams last year, with the Richmond Colts strong second-place finishers and McNair Marlins a close third.
This year, the league could be even more competitive if the likes of MacNeill Ravens and Cambie Crusaders realize their goals.
Longtime local high school basketball coach Brian Meier has high hopes for this year's Crusaders, who were 4-6 last season but showed plenty of potential.

What do the happiest people have in common?
According to various researches, these six factors determine happiness
Meik Wiking, executive director of the Institute for the Search for Happiness in Copenhagen, in his most recent book entitled "Lykke" seeks to answer questions such as: What do the happiest people in the world have in common? What can we learn about happiness elsewhere? and what can we do to be happier ourselves?
Research on happiness concludes that there are six determining factors to achieve it: the sense of union or community, freedom, trust, goodness, money and health. Meik Wiking explains these factors in his book and also includes experiences of people around the world who offer important examples of how to achieve happiness.
- Sense of union or community: Wiking tells that "In a boarding school in Denmark they told the students that they could only use cell phones one hour a day". This experiment was carried out for six months and at the end they asked the students if they wanted to continue using the device only one hour a day or if they preferred to use it again all the time, to which 80% of them answered that they preferred to use it only for 60 minutes a day, because they realized that in this way it was easier to relate to others, make friends and interact. Wiking recommends that, to encourage this factor it is important to eat more often with our relatives, friends and colleagues in a slow and conversational manner.
- Freedom: according to Wiking, researchers have found that "people who work on their own are usually happier", because although they usually have to work more and the profits are lower, they are more satisfied with their autonomy, with the flexibility to work and especially because they have more clarity about what they want to achieve with their effort.
- Money: regarding to money, the author points out what other authors have said before: "if we seek to buy happiness, it is wiser to invest in experiences than in things". A joint study conducted by the universities of British Columbia and Harvard, published last year, revealed that one of the best ways to invest money for happiness is to use it to buy free time, that is, pay to be free of unpleasant tasks and dedicate ourselves to things that we like; according to researchers, investing in free time reduces stress and anxiety and increases well-being and happiness.
- Trust: This is a key point to achieve happiness, because it generates tranquility and security. In this factor, Wiking recommends to work empathy, for this he advises to read literature and move in different social circles, in this way we can better understand the behavior of other people. The author also suggests visiting places where people who are at the opposite end of our political spectrum live, to realize that "we are not so different; we only have different starting points".
- Kindness: Wikings points out that "we know that when we do good we feel good" and proposes to find ways to make other people happy through acts of kindness.
- Health: Caring for health should be a central purpose of our lives, feeding us well, exercising and taking care of the quality of sleep, because according to the author "happy people have better health".

[News] 2008 Star Music Industry, Advancing to Overseas Market Oustide the Grounds Confrontation
Last year the countries' top stars are abundantly active. In 2009, targeting overseas markets, the competitional face-off is still on outside their hometown. BoA and SE7EN declared their United States tour, while TVXQ, Wonder Girls and Big Bang, bands which was active in domestic last year, are turning their eyes towards the US and Japan overseas market invasion as their plans.
Firstly, TVXQ's 4th album MIROTIC at the end of last year swept away all the big hit awards, and now they will once again try for the Japanese market. Already in Japan they achieved their 5th consecutive Oricon Daily Singles Number 1 song for their single Bolero (reporter wrote "Wasurenaide") as soon as it went on sale on the 21st. This is already the sixth number 1 of TVXQ in the Oricon Daily Single Chart. At the end of the year they appeared on NHK Kohaku in the first half, proving their status in Japan. In March they will be releasing their Japanese album, and have announced the plan to focus their activities for the first half of the year there.
Last year and this year TVXQ has been going on activities without pause to rise to their Korean fans' expectations. Last year, with 5 of their released Japanese singles getting number 1 in the Oricon Weekly Charts, they rose above idol group Arashi with the most number 1 record and showing strong position because of it. In the heart of Asia, including Japan, as TVXQ walks their path, they get the attention of music fans.
This year Big Bang is determined to be a star in Japan. November last year, their single With You had a local passionate reaction from the Japanese fans from it's release in the hot summer there, and plan to make aggressive attacks for the Japanese market. In late January Big Bang will start their concert as well as personal activities, with their solo singles showing off musical skills. They will also have activities in Japan this summer and a new album in Korea for the second half of the year. They will be busy with overseas activites at home and abroad.
Wonder Girls' tour during the first half of the year overseas stretched out to the world as they plan to strenghten their foothold internationally staring with March 28 at the first concert in Bangkok, Thailand and then to the United States, then LA, Orange County, as well as a concert in New York to meet foreign fans.
Active last year, world star Rain will also be debuting with an album in the United States, and is determined to make it as a singer there.
In addition to the U.S. debut in October last year, Se7en will also be attacking the world market for the first half of the year.

Portrait of Rod
Mon, Sep 2 2019 07:22 | portrait painting | Permalink
Portrait of Rod Pizarro ©Brenda Clews, 2019. 18" x 24", oil on canvas.
He's the guy at the TV studio who decides which shot when during a game. It's super intense concentration, high-paced, not many people could do it, and so the colours around him, on his face, kind of represent that bustling high focus and all the action he's sending out over the airwaves, plus the light from the screens on his face, which are like chunks of photons.
Through it all, he's this smiling, calm guy, or that's how he appears to me, but the world he inhabits during his working life remains with him — the colours, movement, action, sports fields dancing around him in his aura.
I've drawn Rod before. He came over late November 2018 and we did a photo shoot. From those photos, I began a commissioned painting. First a throw-the-paint-down underpainting, and then a 2nd iteration of the same. Though he had commissioned the portrait to be hopefully ready by his 50th birthday at the end of February, the month came and went. It wasn't until July, when I finally had studio space to work in, that I was able to finish it over about 5 days.
He says he loves it, and what more could a portrait painter wish for! A wonderful man and very honoured to be asked to paint a portrait of him for his 50th - good news is, he's still 50!

Is Price pooped? Canadiens goalie starts off-season training — the potty kind Back to video
"She had a major regression in potty training (peeing in the middle of a restaurant, twice)," Price's wife goes on to report.
The young mother keeps her husband's fans in the loop on Instagram on the progress of the training.
"We went right in to big girl undies cold turkey and Liv is adjusting pretty well," she relates. "First day was 50/50 with accidents and going in the potty. Day two was awful, all accidents. Day three was awesome with zero accidents!"
Angela embedded a video in an Instagram story, showing the Habs goalie outside in the rain helping Liv go in the portable potty the couple had brought along on a road trip.
Goalie Price has had a little more time to devote to his fatherly duties this spring with the Canadiens missing the playoffs. Some critics pointed to his poor performance between the pipes this past season as a major reason why the team floundered.
Angela goes on to complain in her social media account of a lack of sleep because of her toddler. As a new dad, maybe the same situation plagued Carey Price on the ice this past season?

What a wonderful surprise. After the exceedingly dull narrative of the first book this one hooked me in. Plot lines started to come together in compelling ways. The long captivity of Captain Hernandez begins to pay off as we find the crew of the Titan is now trapped in orbit around the Caeliar home world; while Troi's pregnancy increases the tension.
Meanwhile, in the Azure Nebula, Picard and Dax are trying to unravel the mystery of the subspace tunnels that the Borg are using to attack the Federation. While there they witness an overwhelming attack. This was a "Holy Crap" moment in the story where I did not pause for a moment to begin reading the final book in the series.
What I learned from this tale was to trust David Mack; he has mad skills as a novelist and there is nothing in the books that doesn't pay off further along.
Read this trilogy; it changes everything about Star Trek literature. From this you really get the sense that the plots are moving forward again.

Get Ready for Tax Identity Theft Awareness Week
Like helping people avoid scams? Then you might like to know that the FTC has named Jan. 13-17 Tax Identity Theft Awareness Week, and will host national events like a webinar and Twitter chat, in English and Spanish, as well as regional events.
Tax identity theft is the most common form of identity theft reported to the FTC. It happens when someone files a phony tax return using your personal information — like your Social Security number — to get a tax refund from the IRS. Tax identity theft also happens when someone uses your Social Security number to get a job or claims your child as a dependent on a tax return.
You can help spread the word a number of ways — post a blog or article with helpful tips, host your own event, or tweet about the week. You'll find all you need at ftc.gov/taxidtheft.

The Centre's Special Representative on Jammu and Kashmir, Dineshwar Sharma, has requested Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to convene a meeting with authorities of certain television news channels to ask them to be careful against spreading "vicious propaganda" against Kashmiris.A senior source said on Wednesday that at least four news channels routinely aired stories exaggerating events in the Kashmir Valley, defeating the dialogue and peace process initiated by the Centre. The meeting with the channel representatives would be convened shortly, the source said. Another official, however, said the Centre would tread cautiously on the subject as it did not want to impinge on the "freedom of the press"."Sometimes these channels are just making a mountain out of a molehill. Many times, the debates are vitriolic and are distant from facts on the ground. This gives fodder to secessionist forces in the Kashmir Valley to sow hatred against the government," a senior Home Ministry official said.Delegations' protestsMr. Sharma, a former Intelligence Bureau chief, was appointed Special Representative by the Centre in October 2017 for carrying forward the dialogue with all stakeholders in Jammu and Kashmir. As reported earlier, several delegations that met Mr. Sharma complained that a few news channels were propagating a negative image of Kashmiris. The official said they would share Mr. Sharma's concern with the television channels, adding that Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti had, on several occasions, asked the Centre to address the issue of news channels going overboard when it comes to reporting events in the Valley.Delivering the keynote address at a seminar on "Understanding Kashmir" hosted by a Delhi-based think tank, BRIEF, last July, Ms. Mufti had hit out at television anchors based in the national capital for portraying Kashmir in a bad light."I am sorry to say that this India that the [news] anchors are trying to project is not what India is and not the India I know. Few channels are showing Kashmiris in a bad light."She said when she saw the retired "beard-wallahs" from the other side [Pakistan] and "mooch-wallahs" from this side screaming at the top of their lungs on television news channels, she felt they were airing their "frustrations" about the many wars that the two countries had fought. On stone throwingThe J&K administration have on previous occasions expressed similar concerns, and told the Centre that Delhi-based news television channels were portraying the State in a negative light. On the issue of reports of stone throwing by students, officials posted in south Kashmir had pointed out that schoolchildren from only four or five institutions had participated in the attacks on security forces.However, the national media had reported the incidents as if all the 50,000 school and college students were embroiled in violent acts in 2016 that erupted after Hizbul Mujahideen "commander" Burhan Wani was killed in an encounter with security forces.

Next up for Men of Color? A Place at the Front of the Classroom.
Principal Damon Smith remembers a time when his students at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School in Massachusetts had a black principal, black assistant principal, black mayor, black governor, and black president – all at the same time. But he sees a need for black men to push open the door to the next frontier: the kindergarten classroom.
"We need more practitioners of color, particularly black male teachers, in our classes K-12." he explains in his office on a recent afternoon. "President Obama is just a step. It shows you what is possible."
His school district has made teacher diversity a priority in recent years. The effort is part of a national push prompted in part by research conducted since 2015 showing the positive impact that relationships – between students, and teachers who look like them – can have. At a time of racial division in the United States, educators say it is increasingly important for all children to be exposed to role models of different races.

Horseradish and finely chopped capers. I also use dill relish.
I too will never buy store-bought again! What's my Kik I added horseradish
I'm not a tartar sauce person, and that's because I never made this recipe before. This recipe is seriously very, very good with the perfect amount of creaminess and bite. I finely chopped a few pickles from a jar (not relish) and added the juice of an actual lemon (not from a bottle) and it was the STAR of a very boring fish and chips meal on a busy weeknight. If you are in a rush, while your fish and chips are in the oven, just make this simple recipe and put the wow factor on for your family on a kid favorite, but with an adult send-off.
Absolutely simple and Perfect! I used dill relish and it worked Great!
My recipe is basically the same except I use dill relish and the addition of a quick squirt of yellow mustard.
I too will never buy tartar sauce again. Can't beat this, it is excellent! I made it with the dill pickles, next time I will use relish just to see the difference. This is definitely a keeper and so fast and easy! I also added some lemon juice as suggested.
Made this tonight and loved it! Made it as recipe says except omitted pepper as I do not like it. Have made my own tartar sauce in the past using a different recipe, but my husband likes this one better! Will definitely make again!
I have been making this for several years, the only difference is, I use sweet pickle relish, we like it better than with the dill pickle.
I have been making my own tarter sauce for 30 plus years. I only use dill pickle or relish. I use Valencia sweet onion or green onion in a pinch. The final ingredient is a Tbs of lemon juice. It is scrumptious with any fish.
I like to grate the onion over the bowl you will be using. That way you get the juices too. The flavor of the onion goes through out the sauce.

Up to 20,000 visitors from around the world are expected in Valparaíso for the bi-annual global exhibit of naval technology, Exponaval 2010, running from Nov. 30 to Dec. 3 in the coastal city's famed harbor.
Naval delegations from 67 countries will attend the event to showcase their maritime innovations, including traditional big players such as the US, UK and Germany and emerging naval nations such as Indonesia, Oman and Brunei.
Business deals worth up to US$ 600 million could be struck at the event, reports Chilean daily newspaper La Tercera.
In a highlight for the general public, top-class military ships will be opening their doors to allow visitors on board and explore the warships and reconnaissance vessels currently sailing the seas.
Ships on show will include the USS Swift from the United States, a high speed vessel used for removing mines and the HMS Gloucester from the United Kingdom, an anti air vessel used in the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
President Sebastián Piñera and other high-ranking Chilean officials, including Minister of Defense, Jaime Ravinet de la Fuente, will attend the 7th Exponaval, organized jointly by the Chilean Navy and by Chilean events management company FISA S.A. President Sebastián Piñera will officially open the event on Tuesday Nov. 30.
"Chile has a proud history in organizing international defence exhibitions," said Minister Ravinet in a news release. "Exponaval is a fully-established event in the naval defence calendar, attracting the most senior regional authorities on naval defence procurement and acting as a regular meeting point for increasing numbers of world-class organizations."

#684* – Malcolm LORD PEARSON of RANNOCK
Clean EUkip up NOW & make UKIP electable!
The corruption of some of EUkip's leadership, their anti UKIP claque & the NEC is what gives the remaining 10% a bad name!
Malcolm LORD PEARSON of RANNOCK – Leadership Candidate!!!
I was most interested to visit Lord Pearsons leadership web site at CLICK HERE
The very first line tells us much:
The full site will be live very shortly but in the meantime here is my manefesto…
does this explain much of his fear of Islam? He has a manefesto where many would have a manifesto – perhaps he is a Buddist – Ommmmmmm Maneeeee Festooooo Ommmmmmmm!
Anyway it continues to say:
Personal Statement from Lord Pearson of Rannoch
Although I understood his reasoning, I deeply regretted Nigel's decision to step down as leader. Sadly my efforts to get him to change his mind, publicly at the conference and privately, have been to no avail.
I had to think long and hard before putting my own name forward to lead UKIP. I knew that were my bid successful, I would be committing to an indefinite period of hard work and would have to forgo directorships and other interests. However I also realised that any sacrifice would be trivial compared to those made by Nigel Farage over nearly two decades. Dauntingly, I would also find myself successor to the most eloquent politician in the land.
Initially I declined to volunteer because I lacked ambition to lead a political party. But I believe passionately in my country and in the democracy and freedom which so many generations have fought to win and defend, often at terrible cost, all now being sold out by a selfish and deluded generation of gutless professional politicians.
In the end it was the sheer persistence of many UKIP members and donors who said that it was my duty to offer myself to my country's service. I suppose that is arm-twisting UKIP style!
So what can I offer you?
Perhaps I should start by telling you what I am not. In a party with 13 MEPs I am not an elected politician. You must consider whether that is or is not a virtue. It does mean that I am available in this country, without the continual distraction of continental travel. Certainly I am well placed by my seat in the House of Lords to articulate our case. It is, of course, Westminster where these great issues must eventually be decided.
That I am not a professional politician may be no disadvantage in an age when our political class is widely despised. My background is in international insurance. I would like to think that habits such as delegation, training and financial discipline might be useful in the necessary reorganisation of a party whose power and influence has outgrown its infrastructure.
There is one particular area where I feel I should be able to contribute usefully. With the likely implementation of the Lisbon Treaty, these are perilous days. We are desperately short of time if we are to save our great country. This means we have to rapidly recruit and train a large force of people dedicated to national survival. To this end we need to cast a broad net and my contacts with the wider Eurorealist movement could prove very valuable. Along with David Willoughby de Broke in the Lords, as well as through my activities with Global Britain, I can lay some claim to having rare contacts throughout the movement. I hope that I enjoy some respect from people as politically diverse as Lords Stoddart and Tebbit and with others less well known but with considerable financial assets and patriotic dedication. As far as I know, I have no enemies within UKIP and remain on good terms with many who have left us.
What of my political philosophy? I am essentially interested in conserving the British constitution against all who threaten it, most particularly from those "Traitors within the Gate", the British politicians who have betrayed their own people.
It is rare for a new party to survive long in British politics. UKIP has stood that test of time and changed the political agenda singlehandedly. Our recent success must now be turned to maximum advantage.
We must develop the quality of our candidates and activists. This requires training, with experienced campaigners helping those who have yet to cut their political teeth. This has to be backed up by activity manuals and informative literature. As someone who has provided (I hope useful) publications such as "What is the point of the European Union?" and "BETTER OFF OUT" I may have something to offer here.
We have speak to the British people in straightforward language. Against the background of the country's financial crisis, we must show how leaving the EU is positive, invigorating, vastly enriching; in short everything to be welcomed and absolutely nothing to be feared. Hand in glove with this goes the promotion of binding national and local referendums. Only thus can power be returned to the people from the political class in Westminster and Brussels.
UKIP policies should be short and incisive and targeted to emphasise what can only be achieved by leaving the EU. They should also be selected to embarrass the old parties by showing how their political correctitude has left them out of touch with the basic common sense of real people. Examples abound: Their refusal to entrust us with education vouchers or to insist on work permits for foreigners; their failure to maintain our borders and their appeasement of militant Islam.
My ambition is for UKIP to do well enough in the General Election to trigger a revolutionary realignment of British politics. In place of our current 'one party state', with all the older parties blindly deferring to the EU, we desperately need a new and genuine Opposition. Already many Conservative MPs and most of their activists are with us. Many decent Labour and Lib Dem supporters are also getting the point.
Our priority, which cannot be overstated, must be to maintain our aim of an amicable divorce from the European Union. My slogan is "Friendship and Free Trade only." Anything and everything we do must be directed to this end and nothing must compromise this objective.
We now have a growing majority of the British people who share this view and a monopoly, amongst the moderate political parties, in expressing it. This is an electoral gold mine.
I shall feel honoured and humbled if you elect me to lead what is the noblest cause in British politics today. But whoever is elected can rely on my full support.
Malcolm Pearson
Lord Pearson of Rannoch was born in 1942 and educated at Eton.
In 1964 he founded the PWS Group of international insurance brokers, which went public in 1984 and was sold to the THB Group in 2008. He is now Hon. President but is willing to sacrifice that position should he become leader of UKIP.
During 1975-82 he was the main protagonist in the "Savonita Affair" at Lloyd's of London, when his refusal to collect a fraudulent claim led to reform at Lloyd's, and a new Act of Parliament.
From 1984-90 he actively promoted freedom in the Soviet Union through financial and other assistance to dissident groups.
In the period 1983-92 he represented commerce on the Council for National Academic Awards, Britain's largest degree awarding body, which validated the courses in our Polytechnics (Universities since 1992). He joined with Baroness Cox and others in fighting far left control of Teacher Training, Social and Media Studies, etc.
In 1984 he founded the Rannoch Charitable Trust, which has funded such things as refugees from Communism in Europe, various human rights initiatives, research into British state education, the environment of the Scottish Highlands, free market economics and Islamic fundamentalism.
In 1990 Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher raised him to the Peerage.
During 1991-97 he led several successful amendments in the Lords on Scottish environmental legislation.
In 1992 he received an Honorary Doctorate (of Laws) from Council of National Academic Awards, for services to Higher Education.
During 1992-96 he was a Member of the House of Lords Select Committee on the European Union, which led him to become a leading exponent of the case for the UK to leave the European Union.
In 1992 he became Hon. President of RESCARE – The National Society for Mentally Handicapped People in Residential Care, a subject where he has family experience.
In 1998 he joined with Lord Harris of High Cross (Independent) and Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Labour) to found "Global Britain", a non-party think tank, to research alternatives to UK membership of the European Union. (See http://www.globalbritain.org )
In 2004 he lost the Conservative whip for suggesting that people should lend their vote to the UK Independence Party, in elections to the European Parliament, and now sits in the Lords, along with Lord Willoughby de Broke, as a UKIP peer.
His many speeches can be found on http://www.lordswhips.org.uk/
His belief in freedom of speech and disregard of controversy was illustrated in 2009 when he invited the Dutch MP, Geert Wilders, to show his anti-Islamist film, "Fitna", in a press conference at the House of Lords. When Mr. Wilders was banned by the Home Secretary from entering the UK, Lord Pearson went ahead with the film and accused the British Government of appeasing Islamism. (Google: "Fitna" and "Geert Wilders").
For many years he has been an articulate critic of the institutional pro EU bias of the BBC and has personally invested in research, proving the case much to their discomfiture.
Lord Pearson's Web Site CLICK HERE will be available in the
near future.
Let us hope he does not fall foul of 'The Firm' and have Her Majesty speaking out in The News of The World against him for having seized her flag as his banner – she has seized on Griffin and his having chosen Winston Churchill and The Spitfire as a theme which EUkip thought was so good that they copied the idea!
I wonder if Her Majesty had been aware that the liar and cheat David Bannerman had visually tried to imply some similarity to Churchill or the part trying to use the symbolism of TheBNP which seems increasingly accurate as EUkip allies itself with the most extreme of racist xenophobes, anti Jewish, violent sexually intollerant bigots that membership of their new Pan EU Political
Party group could muster.
We must wait to see if Pearson knows ANYTHING about EUkip or just the lies of Farage and if all goes to plan he can stand down after the General Election if Farage gets elected he can hand the party to David Bannerman to continue the destruction or back to Farage if he fails at Buckingham to fulfill his ambitions.
Meanwhile let us see at what stage EUkip is abandonned and the new Pan EU
Party takes over, as posted in my other blog!
Lord Pearson makes a good patsy to carry forward Farage's ambitions.
What is the exit and survival plan for these United Kingdoms to maximise on the many benefits of leaving The EU. It is the DUTY of our Politicians and Snivil Cervants to ensure the continuity, liberty and right to self determination of our peoples they have a DUTY to protect against crime and secure both our food and our border.
NONE of these DUTIES has a single British politician upheld for 40 years. They have drawn their incomes fraudulently and dishonesty.
Politicians are failing to tell the truth, but so are almost all wanabe Politicians, the MSM and Snivil Cervants.
The fact is that even if EVERY British MEP wanted change in The EU it would achieve NOTHING.
Every single British Politician, of EVERY Party, elected since before we joined the EUropean Common Market, has promised to change The EU's CAP – In 40 Years they have achieved absolutely NOTHING!
To try to put a value on OUR Freedom is as futile as floccipaucinihilipilification and as odious as the metissage of our societies, as we rummage in the ashes of our ancestors dreams, sacrifices and achievements, the flotsam of our hopes and the jetsam of our lives, consider the Country and Anglosphere which we thus leave our children and the future, with shame!

PLEASE POST THIS TAG AS FOLLOWS:ON YOUR eMAILS & BLOGS, FORUM POSTINGS & MAILINGS – GET THE MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE IT IS OUR BEST HOPE AS WHOEVER IS APPOINTED WILL MAKE NO DIFFERENCE AS PROVED!
I SUGGEST – since there is clearly no political party of repute, advocating or campaigning for withdrawal of these United Kingdoms from the EU and restoration of our independent sovereign, democracy, with Justice & the right to self determination in a free country. Deny the self seeking & meaningless wanabe MEPs the Mythical Mandate for which they clamour. Diktat is imposed from The EU but Law should be made at Westminster, for our Country & our Peoples.

All of a sudden students are part way through their senior year of college, and employment (or unemployment) is just a few short months away. Students who wait to look for jobs until college is over will generally find they are unemployed or working at a part-time job they don't like for the entire summer.
Of course, lucky students will have secured positions by the fall, but many will need to search for much longer than that. No two students will have the exact same experience. Employment opportunities vary depending on the field, time of year, and flexibility of the job seeker. Recent graduates who are willing to relocate or consider full-time internships, for example, may have more opportunities than people looking for full-time paid employment in their current city only. To avoid post grad unemployment, it's good for students to start their job search while they are still in college.
1) First semester senior year
During the first semester of senior year, students are not likely to receive a full-time job offer. Although there are a few high demand fields, most students will be doing preliminary research at this point. Students are encouraged to begin networking with people in their chosen career fields if they haven't already done so. They can also start investigating which companies hire new graduates and find out if recruiters will be on campus during the year. Additionally, the first semester is a good time to meet with professors or professionals within the field to get information about possible opportunities in the future. Although most companies are not going to give an official interview at this point, they may offer an informational interview. A familiar face is more likely to be hired later on.
2) Beginning of second semester senior year
Once students get to their second semester of their senior year, they can start legitimately looking for jobs. Many companies hiring new graduates will begin their recruitment process at this point knowing their employees can't start until the beginning of summer. One of the most challenging issues for students at this point is finding a balance between school and the job search. It's important students devote their full attention to study the week before midterms and finals but still manage to send out applications and meet with recruiters.
3) End of second semester senior year
By the end of the second semester, it's important students are sending out completed job applications on a regular basis. There is not a magic number but one to two applications per week will serve as a good, minimum goal. In addition to applying for jobs the traditional way, students should be actively networking and refining their resumes. Also, it's important to tailor each cover letter to a specific position. The human resources department can easily tell who made the effort to read the entire job description and who wrote a standard letter.
4) The summer after graduation
The majority of college seniors will not have secured full-time employment by their graduation date. However, this is when it's important to stay motivated and get creative. In addition to continuing a full-time job search in a specific field, recent grads should look at viable part-time positions, paid internships, and transition jobs that can help them build their resumes. There are several companies that won't hire somebody until they have a couple years of experience, so that dream job may be just around the corner. In order to beef up their resumes, recent grads can be creative and have two part-time jobs or look into the possibility of something near their field, if not directly in it.

Organizations often overlook having an open house or another face-to-face meeting as a relatively inexpensive way to hire multiple people for one or more roles. The best candidates do not apply for jobs simply because they're open to taking new jobs, and they happen to be qualified for jobs recruiters want filled. College students and recent graduates are far more likely to be interested in applying, interviewing, accepting job offers, and staying with a company for years if they understand the organization, the work environment, and the team they'd be working with from the beginning of the process.

Before getting an entry level job, it is not a bad idea to learn more about the position and company by talking with someone. If you want to getting a meeting to discuss a job opportunity, then learn some tips to help you prepare for a potential one in the following post.
Networking is the key to landing a job but people dread it even more than the idea of running a marathon. They'd rather push their bodies to the limit than put themselves in a potentially awkward situation with another human being. Surprisingly, networking and running a marathon share a common path to success – preparation. The more you prepare and train the easier it will be and the better you'll perform. Unlike getting rock-hard abs, training for a networking coffee meeting will take you more than 5 minutes every day, but the additional 55 minutes will be well worth it.
With their summer jobs as interns winding down, college students may be looking to end them in positive ways. In the following post, learn seven ways to finish internships on a good note.
August is right around the corner. Summer is almost over… and, by definition, so is your summer internship.

Good news for professionals in the banking & finance industry – developments in the sector have made it one of the highest paying industries in Singapore today.
That was the key finding of Kelly Services' 2015 Singapore Salary Guide.
Along with the banking and finance industry, the oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, information technology (IT) and semiconductors were also found to be the top paying sectors in the country.
"In the banking and financial sector, changes in the financial regulatory environment prompted banks and financial institutions to strengthen their compliance and risk management functions in Singapore, resulting in a demand for compliance and risk management personnel," the report stated.
"New players entering the country's banking sector have also resulted in an increased demand for relationship managers."
Indeed, after delving into the jobs in high demand, the report highlighted positions such as application development consultant, supply chain manager, financial accountant, network/systems engineer and compliance manager were the most sought after in Singapore this year – all with an average monthly salary of S$10,000 to S$12,500.
Key engineering industry clusters included construction, chemicals, electronics, infocommunications and media, biomedical sciences, logistics and transport engineering, with new areas of growth such as clean energy, environment and water, and natural resources.
Demand for mechanical and electronics engineers also rose due to the growth of Singapore's aerospace industry and the development of R&D and innovation functions across many industries.
"Despite anticipated GDP growth at 2 to 3%, Singapore's labour market is expected to remain tight due to government measures in place to curb the demand for foreign workers to ensure more jobs for Singaporeans," said Mark Hall, vice president and managing director, Kelly Services Singapore.

Help!!! What Happen to Beanie Babies and Matchbox Cars?!!!
Oh the memories of the different lists made through the years... It starts with me writing what "I think they need or want," then we enter the stage of them "telling me what they want and I write it down," next they "write it out themselves, but ask me how to spell every other word" and then you have now, where they go in their rooms, think about it and write me out a top ten list of their wants and desires. No problem, right?
Actually it isn't...usually. Through the years we have had wants of Beanie Babies, Thomas the Tank Engine, animal books, a football and even a few little cars for the stockings. I always had money left over for things I wanted them to have, like a new pair of jeans or a sweater. However, here lately I've noticed a new trend. The list is getting smaller and the desires of the young at heart is getting more expensive!!!
I was handed their lists the other day and wondered if I needed to take on a night job. what happened with being satisfied with a baby doll, a pair of gloves and an orange in your stocking? What happened to wanting something that cost less than fifty bucks? I miss shopping for those cute stuffed animals and trains.
Jordan handed me his list the other day and I about croaked...
A Wii
A PlayStation 3
An XBox
Games for whatever I get
Waterproof Hunting Boots
An Ipod
A phone
and something Nintendo
Hello!!! Do I look like I am made of money?! OK, I will be reasonable, for I know my son likes electronic games, he is on our PlayStation all the time. However, what does he need with all of them. In my way of thinking you can only play one at a time...
And I was the mom who said we would TRY to get something on your list. Hmmm... just doesn't compare to a matchbox car for 99 cents, does it?
Whoever said that babies were the most expensive stage, just plain lied.
I guess if there is any possibility of him getting ONE item off his list, I had better start saving the pennies. Days like this, I wish there really was a Santa...besides Dad.

It is the growing trend the older they get, the more expensive the items become or worse just the generic gift card works!
We told our kids this year, one large item each or a few smaller ones. The choice was up to them.
Guess which they chose?

Who will kill the fattened calf?
None of the above, I'm afraid.
My partner and I made a deal during the summer: I could spend all the time I wanted writing the dissertation and prepping articles (which meant never seeing her) so long as I wasn't writing blog posts when I could have been doing family stuff. Fortunately, the deal seems to have paid off, since we're still together, the dissertation is defended, and I've got a couple of articles under review. Now that we're on the other side of the APA -- and my interviews seemed to go pretty well -- I think there's a way for me to return to PJMB. (I've also got a number of reflections from APA interviews and interactions worth sharing.)
I may be showing up just as the party is dying down. But, I don't think that the passing of the eastern APA will be enough to tame the job market beast. At least not for me.
31 comments:
I hated the APA with every fiber of my being, but...
It was a really excellent opportunity to people-watch, and the people-watching in question made me feel pretty good about myself in a number of ways. To wit, I realized that, compared to the average philosopher, I might as well be Cary Fucking Grant. Never have I encountered so many socially awkward, insufferably arrogant, badly dressed, and poorly coiffed people in one place in my entire life.
Seriously, does anyone ever get the impression that older male philosophers might be suffering from Asperger's syndrome or some form of mild autism?
As for fashion, don't even get me started. First, they really should consider renaming the APA the Eyeware Fashion Expo or something like that; this was the only sartorial arena in which people seemed to be trying to outdo one another. Second, there were a number of characters I kept seeing around the conference facilities that were just heinous. One was a guy with an ugly green suit, horned-rim glasses, a beard, a longish indie rock haircut that he had attempted to slick to one side (ostensibly for the sake of propriety) and little black plug earrings. Another was a guy with BLUE hair. He stuck out at the smoker like a sore thumb. Then there was "fedora man" - this really severe looking guy who was actually very handsome and dressed very well except that he wore this stupid brown fedora everywhere. He looked like an extra on the Untouchables or something. He must be really into the Cherry Poppin' Daddies. And there was a woman who was working a hideous Emily Dickinson bun coupled with red heels and what looked like seventeen or eighteen gaudy-ass scarves tied around her neck at once. I could go on, but the memories are starting to make me a bit sick.

I think it is in poor taste and quite silly to insult individual's clothes or style in an anonymous, but very popular forum. By the way, the guy with blue hair was probably Jesse Prinz. When you have published 5 books before 40 you most likely don't give a fuck about sticking out.
- December 31, 2007 at 8:24 AM
Honey, silliness and poor taste tends to breed even more egregious silliness and poor taste. So spare me the sanctimony.
And by the way, the blue hair would still have been a major faux pas even if the guy was a recipient of a Genius Grant. I could care less. It was dreadful.
- December 31, 2007 at 8:33 AM
Oh my goodness, it *was* Jesse Prinz! Well, he certainly is accomplished isn't he? But the blue hair... ugh. And he really should do something about the unibrow.
- December 31, 2007 at 8:40 AM
When I first read fashionista's post, I thought, "I didn't see anyone with blue hair." This despite the fact that I saw Jesse Prinz at the conference multiple times. Perhaps I think of Jesse as a person rather than "the guy with blue hair". Unlike Professor Prinz, many of the others who have been taunted probably do not have jobs and may well be struggling right now with self-doubt and anxiety. It's just cruel to add playground insults to the mix.
- December 31, 2007 at 9:15 AM
Speaking of people who can afford not to give a fuck about sticking out, "fedora man" might have been Steve Stich.
- December 31, 2007 at 9:27 AM
Anonymous self-righteousness--a new low in blogging?
(Yeah I know, anonymous criticism of self-righteousness is just as bad. But can't you find a more appropriate forum to demonstrate your moral superiority than a blog where insults and self-deprecating humor are the whole point?)
- December 31, 2007 at 9:36 AM
I didn't know Perez Hilton comments on this blog. That's hot.
- December 31, 2007 at 9:47 AM
In a blog in which insults were actually the point, insulting someone for crassness would be appropriate. Moral superiority and fashion superiority are on a par, no?
- December 31, 2007 at 9:48 AM
"Moral superiority and fashion superiority are on a par, no?"
- December 31, 2007 at 10:47 AM
I can't believe that some people here don't get Prinz's blue hair. Talk about a conservative profession!
- December 31, 2007 at 11:17 AM
Fashionista is a jerk, but I couldn't help snickering a bit. I guess that makes me an asshole too.
I could be wrong, but the "fedora guy" I kept seeing was obviously there for interviews. He had a vintage 1930s sort of look which I actually thought was very cool - very stylish, put together, impeccably dressed. Looked a bit like a younger Clive Owen. (Okay, I'll just admit it - I thought he was hot).
I didn't see him wearing the fedora inside unless he also had his overcoat and gloves on and was obviously coming in or going out.
I didn't see anyone with blue hair. Lot of folks with a sort of "indie rock" style though. If we're going to talk about fashion (and I don't necessarily think we should, but...), I actually think the younger generation deserves more credit. There was a lot of style and class. I didn't see nearly as many beards as I thought I was going to (and there's nothing wrong with beards on the right face).
- December 31, 2007 at 11:26 AM
On a more pragmatic note, if terrible fashion actually bothers you, it might be wise to cut your losses now and get out of philosophy. Otherwise you're in for a lot of pain.
- December 31, 2007 at 11:32 AM
Only analytic philosophy. Continental philosophy tends to have an edge in the "hip" department (whatever its philosophical merits or lack thereof).
- December 31, 2007 at 11:35 AM
First, let's agree that dressing like a dentist or a country lawyer just isn't attractive. I kinda got the impression from Fashionista's post that, in her opinion, looking hick-gentry is looking good. And I think we can all agree that it's not. Looking good in Blacksburg, Va. or whatever, just shouldn't count.
Second, in my experience, at the APA the best dressed are usually the most desperate; and, as you go up the ladder, the more horrible you look. It always seemed like a status symbol to me.
I once saw David K. Lewis at Lincoln Center and, along with Kripke and the like, I suppose he's one of the people who have set "homeless" as the sartorial benchmark of philosophical success. Especially when surrounded by outrageously overdressed opera people, he looked gloriously like one big middle finger.
If that's right, we now have a kind of rule for "pretentious"/"pathetic"-discrimination at the APA.
So if you see a young guy, obviously in need of employment, walking around in dirty Chucks, dirty jeans, Salvation army sports jacket, and outrageous giraffe pattern tie--he is "pretentious." I mean, how dare he? He hasn't even published yet. He's a nobody!
But when you see an obviously senior person, who hasn't been to a philosophy conference in twenty years, having tagged along on a hiring committee, and obviously took great care along the lines of, I don't know, Nordstrom--you know to call her "pathetic."
Since I just got my job, so still quite junior, the only sartorial difference is that I no longer wear a tie.
I dream of one day having published enough to wear jeans again.

Awesome. Fucking awesome. Just one of the reasons I love philosophy.

TT Asst Prof has clearly never been to Blacksburg. There's a Banana Republic right next to the philosophy seminar room.
- December 31, 2007 at 12:19 PM
Oh, lighten up children. Too much debating about externalism v. internalism and you've forgotten how to recognize satire? (Well, except for Paris Hilton, who clearly got the joke.)
Fashion aside, I stand by my conviction that many philosophers are socially retarded, as if they never learned the basics of ordinary social interaction. Good God! Just watch some of us checking into hotels or ordering food or tipping the airport shuttle driver. It's really rather ridiculous. Just because you're a philosopher doesn't mean you are "excused" from observing ordinary social customs, such as excusing yourself when passing gas or brushing your teeth before droning on and on about - oh, I don't know - qualia or whatever. Dress however you like, but for God's sake, TAKE A SHOWER, put on some deodorant, change your fucking shirt if it has catsup stains on it, etc.
- December 31, 2007 at 12:25 PM
Overheard at the Opium Den (probably now defunct) ten years ago:
"What's that smell? Is that Mickey Rourke?
"Oh no, it's Saul Kripke.
"How are you doing, sir? I thought you were Mickey Rourke."
(And, once you get over the thrill of being close enough to Kripke to smell him, don't forget to say "sir.")
- December 31, 2007 at 12:40 PM
Tip to fashionista: I don't know what lingo you're hip with, honey, but only tools say "catsup."
- December 31, 2007 at 1:01 PM
Tip to 1:01: Only tools refer to people as "tools." That is, like--oh my god--totally so 1980s. Sorta like your neon legwarmers. BURN!
- December 31, 2007 at 1:31 PM
Regarding changes in philosophical fashion: Leiter has relinked an old posting where he reports a colleague pointing out, inter alia, "This generation is likely to see creativity and provocativeness as more important than being anal about every little detail, and this goes with publishing more and more flamboyantly rather than publishing little and conservatively. Another interesting generational change: the older generation had a myth of the brilliant loner producing insights out of the blue, whereas the younger generation is more communitarian, focusing more about projects that emerge out of group discussions."
Maybe changes in clothing correspond to other changes in the profession: being more flamboyant and social in publishing may go along with a rejection of the old-school homeless look.
- December 31, 2007 at 2:15 PM
Jesse Prinz here. A friend alerted me to fashionista's posting, which was good for a chuckle. I always welcome fashion advice, and I think it's healthy to balance the stress of the Eastern with good round of fashion police. Philosophers make good fodder in this arena because we are less beholden to rigid conventions of dress and, I suppose, less inclined to care. Fashion also interesting questions about psychology (why do we pay attention to dress?), sociology (how is group membership signaled?), and philosophy (what is proper semantics for fashion pronouncements, given that they have an air of objectivity, even though the domain is, by definition, relative?). Putting these issues to one side, I have a question that is more germane to this blog: what do you folks think about the fact that people on the market are expected to dress in a way that significantly departs from what we wear in the classroom?
- December 31, 2007 at 3:08 PM
Jerry Fodor here. Jesse Prinz's empiricism makes me angry.
- December 31, 2007 at 3:51 PM
Re Jesse Prinz's question:
I don't know if I'm in a minority here, but I would find it much more stressful if there *weren't* an expectation that job candidates wear suits (or something close to it). Worrying about what tie to wear or whether my shoes are scuffed is peanuts compared to worrying about what overall *style* would best serve my interests (and what specific items would best exemplify that style).
Sure, it would be nice if we weren't judged at all on how we dress, but that's not going to happen. I fear that being told to dress as we would "in the classroom" would just add so much more anxiety and second-guessing, as we worry what image to project. Suits level the sartorial playing field (especially since nobody seems to earn points for wearing suits over a certain mid-level quality).
- December 31, 2007 at 3:52 PM
Hi, Jerry. Sorry if I've irritated you. I suspect we largely agree about how the mind works, yet, curiously, you call your empiricism "rationalism." Can't we all just get along? -Jesse
- December 31, 2007 at 4:01 PM
I think anonymous#n makes an excellent point (suits etc. diminish stress), though it may be a bit harder for women, for whom the formula remains more open-ended. One disturbing thing about suits is they mark out candidates as such, and that creates a visual demarcation between those who have jobs they are happy with and those who are looking. One improvement would be to have those conducting interviews follow the same dress code as those being interviewed. That thought give me more pause about my hair color than the alleged fashion faux pas. -Jesse
- December 31, 2007 at 4:10 PM
Jesse: Awesome Marshall Mcluhan moment!
- December 31, 2007 at 5:27 PM
Thanks, Alvy. I've long been a big fan of yours. -Jesse

Jesse Prinz's last comment touches on (though doesn't make explicit enough) the really annoying thing about the dress code -- namely, the fact that only interviewees (but not interviewers) are expected to follow it. The clear visual demarcation between job applicants and all the rest highlights the former's position of weakness and inferiority in a really nasty way.
- January 1, 2008 at 10:09 PM

No, it doesn't. Although it makes our position of "inferiority" sort of clear, it does not do it in a really nasty way. If you had to wear an armband or a sandwich sign so people would know to spit at you, or if you had to perform sexual favors in exchange for employment, that would be really nasty. Being forced to dress in the costume of a professional person who is seeking professional employment is not nasty at all.
Get over it. Seriously. It's as though having to wear a suit (or at least a pair of trousers and a sport coat) is the worst thing that's ever happened to you people. What the fuck?

Lotus Seed and Jade with Copper Lotus Mala | Heart Chakra
- Handmade Item
- Chakras : All
- Materials : Tassel; Copper Lotus
Out of stockCompare
4th Chakra Mala – Lotus Seed and Jade with Copper Lotus
This Mala has 54 beads, which is 1/2 a regular 108 bead mala. It has Jade for the guru and a copper lotus on the tassel. In my designs, I like to think of the tassel as the concentration for the chakra you might want to concentrate on or need more energy for. This mala is a 4th Chakra design.
Heart Chakra ✧ Love
The 4th Chakra is all about love and self love. It reflects the ability to give and take unconditionally. When this chakra is balanced, we are able to give love to others and nurture ourselves. Then we feel compassion, generosity and harmony. When off, we can become indifferent and jealous. Green connects us to unconditional love and is used for balancing our whole being.
Jade ✧ Dream Stone
Revered to access the spiritual world, gain insight into ritualistic knowledge, encourage creativity, and dream-solve. A protective talisman, assuring long life and a peaceful death, and considered a powerful healing stone. An amulet of good luck and friendship, Jade signifies wisdom gathered in tranquility, dispelling the negative and encouraging one to see oneself as they really are.
Lotus ✧ No mud, no beauty
Simply embrace the lotus and engage in its power to purify, harmonize and stabilize your energy. Lotus makes the very best of a grimy situation. Lotus refuses to be put down, insisting on growing, and growing with class. This mala is made from the seed of the lotus flower.
Mala ✧ Japa Mala
A set of beads usually made from 108 beads, though other numbers are also used. Malas are used for keeping count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a mantra or the name or names of a deity. This practice is known in Sanskrit as japa.
All jewelry is made with high quality gemstones and LOVE!
Wear with Compassion and Enchantment!
If you would like to design your own unique piece of Chakra jewelry please leave me a message. I love sharing and creating together so tell me a little about yourself, the energy that will support your journey and the stones and colors you're drawn to.

The Optimal Way to Drink Whiskey
"The optimal way to drink whiskey? That's not even a real question. Straight from the bottle, amirite?"
"C'mon, brah. Just chug it." -Steve
No, Steve. No.
Chugging a bottle of whiskey will burn your tongue off because whiskey anesthetises your tastebuds if you drink it neat. While proponents of drinking whiskey neat will tell you that doing so allows you to truly taste the whiskey, having a numb tongue will let you taste absolutely zero things. So, unfortunately for Steve up there, swilling whiskey straight from the bottle is less than ideal.
What we're after is the optimal way to drink whiskey. The best way. The way in which you can taste the full flavours of your single-cask whiskey that has been aged for 21 years. The way in which after you've tasted the whiskey, you can turn to your friend and say, "By Odin, that was a fine whiskey."
Here's how.
The best way to drink good whiskey is with some water. Some people will tell you that adding water will open up the bouquet and a bunch of other reasons, but honestly, the actual reason behind it is a lot simpler.
What you want to do, is to take a small sip of your whiskey first. Neat. Nothing else added. If you're drinking good whiskey, your tongue should feel slightly tingly at this point. It's the dreaded whiskey burn. If you continue drinking this way, your tongue will be a barren wasteland devoid of tastebuds. So don't do that.
Instead, add a little bit of water to your glass. No tap water though, because chlorine makes your good whiskey sad. Proceed to taste your drink now. Just a teeny-tiny sip. If your tongue still feels tingly, add more water. Keep doing this until you have the least amount of water possible, without having your tongue feel like it's on fire. Now, sit back and enjoy your drink, and truly savour the taste.
If you want to have your drink cold, you could throw in some ice-cubes. However, chances are that these ice-cubes will be full of chlorine and may dilute your drink to the point where it's just whiskey-flavoured water. Consider investing in some whiskey stones instead. They'll keep your drink ice-cold without diluting the flavour.
Whiskey stones. Better for you than kidney stones.
Lastly, avoid using soft drinks as mixers. I know, I know. It's a guilty pleasure of mine, too. At the very least, only use lower-grade whiskey when you intend to mix in Coca-Cola or green tea.
Now that you're armed with the knowledge of how to perfectly savour a glass of whiskey, why not learn how to make awesome cocktails? Readers of this blog will be able to enjoy a 1-for-1 Cocktail Workshop. To register, email firstname.lastname@example.com and tell them CocktailSG sent you!
