pretty much what happens in every British protest. I mean, fair enough there was looting and vandalism in the Libya riots, but at least they had a comparatively apt motivation and maintained a central mission

Sums it up
This is why I like CupOfTeam. They mostly do comedy but they also do stuff like this
Ealing?? Damn.
"Police at the scene of the Croydon disturbances are investigating a "non-fatal" shooting, according to a source.
No more details are immediately available"
This was bound to happen eventually.
I fucking hope they don't torch Clapham Junction, that's just down the road from me. :/
There's looting there at the moment apparently.
Sky are confirming a shooting in Croydon.
Stay classy Croydon.
Source please?
The BBC reporter mentioned looting near Tower Bridge.
It probably isn't even related to the riots, just another croydon monday
I hope there is a Toxx clause on this
I know, I've been keeping up to date on the twitters and BBC news.
I could actually nip down and get 100% up to date info myself if that wasn't a suicidally insane notion.
I meant to link to this a few minutes ago but I got distracted.
Obviously anything on this page needs to be taken with a bag of salt.
Oh wow one of the BBC teams in Croydon got attacked.
He was just now talking to him on the phone before he got cut off suddenly.
My relatives in Croydon said to give you guys advice: lock all doors windows the lot, close curtains and get anything you canto defend yourself bbgun ect. and put cardboard on the curtains if your window gets fucked up
I don't think that's the BBC reporter. I am sure he was on Sky earlier. Maybe not, can't remember.
The accounts the BBC are getting all say that the police that do arrive on the scene are there in such few numbers that theres no way they can control anything.
Times like these, I wish I had a firearm to protect myself.
It appears that some of my friends on facebook have lost their minds and instead of blaming morons that started this one of them quite oddly decided to say they have no idea what's going on then went onto ranting about the government.
He's got white hair, and i'm watching it on the BBC webstie so I'm sure its him.
They got a shop owner on the line who has his shop burned.
He said they should just start shooting the looters.
"Send the army in and let them shoot them"
No thank you.
Ah sorry i was misinformed.
Mostly because they're spread too thin. There aren't enough police to handle it effectively.
There simply arn't enough riot police to control them. All the footage I've seen show the riot police only having enough officers to make 1 short line across the road.
I think after this they're gonna try and loot westfield.
Just not enough people it seems, they are calling in support from 4 police forces (officers from 2, air support from another 2).
It seems the fire engines that drove up to the furniture shop had to go away from it because it was too intense to put out. So sad.
That's a bullshit escape clause and you know it.
Well that's better.
im 2 minutes away from ealing broadway. dunno whats gonna happen
Oh it is their reporter in Croydon. I just realised who he was when he said his name, he is one of the BBC London reporters.
Photo of the attack on the BBC team in Croydon
Everyone ok apparently.
Don't worry bro you'll be alright. Add me on steam and we'll chat if you want.
Clip from the Sky news reporter that was in Clapham before the broadcast team turned up it seems.
The BBC's reporter team in Croydon have just gotten out of there. They said they saw a couple police vans going into Croydon on their way out but nothing bigger than that.
They also mention 'Shopowners trying in vain to protect their shops'.
Wow you live close to me, FP looting meetup?
When will they send in the army?

Written by Gregg Brekke
It started as a joke between friends.
It morphed into reality, and now there is wonder as well: Just how big will the "UCC Mission:1 Spaghetti and Meatballs Throwdown" get in rural Wyandot County, Ohio?
"One day he was bragging about how he was going to make Bobby Flay meatballs, and how great it was going to be," said the Rev. Robin LaBolt, pastor of Sycamore United Church of Christ. Her reference was to claims by her buddy – Pastor Dave Jones of Trinity UCC in nearby McCutchenville – that he could rival the culinary skills of the popular Food Network television host.
LaBolt – noting her Italian-American roots and inherent ability to whip up a dazzling dish of meatballs – couldn't keep quiet.
"You can't beat my Nana's (grandma's) meatballs, no way," said a laughing LaBolt, recalling the exchange with Jones. "He said something back, and I said, 'Well, I see a Throwdown in our future.'"
The rest is pasta history. Or it will be on Nov. 5. That's when members of the two churches will gather in the fellowship hall of Trinity UCC to raise money and food for the UCC "Mission:1" campaign.
From Nov. 1-11, 2011 (11-1-11—11-11-11), the UCC goal will be to collect more than 1 million food and household items for local food banks, as well as $111,111 in online donations for hunger-related ministries and $111,111 in online donations for East Africa famine relief. The UCC will also ask its 5,300 congregations to advocate for hunger-related causes worldwide via 11,111 letters to Congress.
"It will be fun for our churches, our members can have a good meal, and we can benefit a great cause," said Jones. Hopeful of filling the 400-seat Trinity fellowship hall, LaBolt and Jones are publicizing the event in their church newsletters and are seeking local newspaper coverage.
Cost of the meal will be a canned good and a free will donation, said LaBolt. "Our goal is to collect at least 1,111 items of food and raise $1,111."
For Jones, the Throwdown marks his "coming out" as a cook.
"I've always had the passion to cook, but not much of an opportunity," said the fan of Flay. "'Throwdown' is one of my favorite shows, and when I saw him making the spaghetti and meatballs about six months ago, I started making them. Up until then, I couldn't make a meatball that was worth eating. I was shocked that they were so good."
The Mission:1 event is the latest opportunity for the two churches, separated by only 4 miles, to fortify a long-established bond. Combined, Sycamore and McCutchenville are home to fewer than 2,000 residents and four churches. Trinity UCC is the only church in McCutchenville.
"Our two communities are very inter-connected," said LaBolt. "We have families who are parts of both of our churches, so it's gotten somewhat competitive, which is really funny. And we have people in my church with family members who go to the other two churches," she added, referring to Catholic and Methodist churches in Sycamore.
Sewing members of each church are gearing up for the 'Throwdown' by making aprons and chef hats for LaBolt and Jones. Among the panel of judges will be Dan Busch, Northwest Ohio Association Minister.
"There's a lot of excitement starting to brew," said Jones. "A lot of people are starting to talk about it."

Our Presenters
Amy Vertannes
Amy has been with the team since day one, producing the first live hour of TJC.

Amy started her career at a local television channel in Hampshire and then at Sky Sports. Her love of retail and fashion led her to shopping TV and she has been a part of the industry since 2003.

What is your favourite gemstone?
My absolute favourite gemstone is a diamond. I just love the glisten and beauty of a diamond. My favourite coloured gemstone is a Colombian emerald. The illumination and sparkle makes them look out of this world.
Anna Black
I moved to London from America aged seven and auditioned for a local pantomime so I could meet lots of new friends quickly. My first solo was in 'Babes in the Wood' and that was it, I was hooked. Performing became my new love and I went on to study drama at Exeter and the Central School of Speech and Drama, then finally getting involved in the University TV station presenting various segments.
Since then I have continued to present as a freelancer for beauty and lifestyle features where I could channel my love of fashion and styling. I also worked as a presenter on 'Rocks and Co' where I honed my passion and knowledge of gemstones.
Outside of The Jewellery Channel I love to travel and see the world. I like to keep active and have a passion for adventure leading me to skydive, bungee jump, wakeboard, snowboard and ski!
What is your favourite gemstone?
I love Zultanite. I only first heard about it about a year ago, but it was love at first sight! Such a unique gemstone that displays such a variety of colour in all lights! I just need to go out for more candlelit dinners so I can see those beautiful pink hues.
If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?
Three words?! I talk live for four hours! Okay, Fresh, lively, myself.
Any fashion or jewellery tips?
Keep to what suits you. We can't all be Victoria Beckham so let's leave the spray on jeans and wearing stiletto's 24 hours a day to her, and wear what suits you. Pick the bits you love from what is hot now and tailor it to suit your life and your body.
Who is your ultimate style icon?
I have a few of ladies whose style I admire and I take bits from each. I like Ferne Cotton for her edgy quirkiness but some days I am more for Sienna Miller and her relaxed bohemian style. And I can never skip a mention for the ever timeless and gorgeous classic beauty of Audrey Hepburn.
Any embarrassing on-screen moments?
Of course! It would surely involve getting the giggles. We have all done it- that moment where you really shouldn't laugh but that simple fact makes it harder not to laugh.
Andrea McClean
Andrea started dancing at the age of 3 and went on to train at the performers college in Essex. Upon completing her dance training she worked extensively across the globe as a dancer, singer and actress but it was in 2000 that she found her true passion of presenting. Andrea has presented many different styles of programme from fashion and rebellion to daily talk shows. She has taken the role of main anchor and co host and is equally at home in either role. Andrea is a natural interviewer and has interviewed Rihanna, Faithless, Sir Alec Stewart, Lynda la Plante and Iain Rankin to name just a few.
With over 11 years working in the retail television environment Andrea is a true expert and can cover any item from fashion to gardening to cooking. Andrea has a great deal of both live and pre recorded presenting experience and is a dab hand at using autocue. Andrea has also worked as a producer for various VTs and has recently filmed an online video with Louise Redknapp for Colgate.
What is your favourite gemstone?
My favourite gemstone is Peridot due to it's radiant green shine. It never changes colour even in artificial light and has a history that dates back to to the early 2nd millennium BC.
If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?
Sexy, sassy but comfy too
Any fashion or jewellery tips?
The more styles and colours in your jewellery wardrobe the better- that way you can always colour coordinate and will never get bored.
Who is your ultimate style icon?
Kate Middleton- She never falls to look effortlessly beautiful and fabulous- she is the perfect princess.
Any embarrassing on-screen moments?
Oh dear unfortunately yes! I was modelling a coat on Live television, tripped and fell over my high heels and landed with a bang on my bottom!! To make matters worse the director couldn't cut off the shot as he was laughing so much! Epic fail
Carmel Thomas
Carmel moved to London in 2000, but hails from Dublin originally. Upon reaching English shores, Carmel started her career in presenting and hasn't looked back since. Carmel has worked in the business for over 10 years now, venturing into live and pre-recorded TV as well as various internet projects.
Carmel's distinctive accent and Irish charm has led to her endearing nickname – The gem of the Emerald Isle. Carmel has a had a brilliant career in TV, working on many channels, including ITV, UTV Ireland, Channel 5, Roulette Nation, Gala Bingo, bid tv and QVC.
With a huge passion for jewellery and shopping, Carmel and TJC are a perfect fit!
What is your favourite gemstone?
Without a doubt a diamond, I adore them. My two most precious pieces of jewellery are my diamond engagement ring and some diamond earrings given to me by my husband. Diamonds are also my birthstone and definitely a girl's best friend.
If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?
I'm pretty girlie and love colour, I'd say casual and relaxed during the day but love to team with accessories such as pendants, scarves and bags but love to glam it up with little dresses and heels at night!
Any fashion or jewellery tips?
Bright and colourful! Big chunky necklaces, cheerful scarves and upbeat nail colour can transform a whole look whether it's a simple black dress, or shirt and jeans.
Who is your ultimate style icon?
Definitely Kate Moss, whether she is at a festival, out shopping or out for a night out she always looks so stunning, she definitely has the X factor with her unique style.
Any embarrassing on-screen moments?
Where do I even start, being on live TV there are bound to be numerous occasions, but I remember once turning a lovely shade or lobster after falling over and dropping an African warrior figurine and its head breaking off in shot!
Caroline Lyndsay
Caroline's television presenting expertise spans major UK broadcasters including BBC, ITV and various channels on the Sky and Freeview platforms.
She has spent 14 years thinking on her feet as a live, unscripted presenter for TV retailers including Bid TV, Ideal World, Gems TV and Rocks & Co, and her wealth of jewellery knowledge and love of adventure also led to a two-week documentary shoot in Madagascar.
Having trained at Italia Conti and with LAMDA, she started her professional career as and actress majoring in Shakespearean and classic roles. A few favourite roles were Princess Katharine in Henry V, Jessica in Merchant of Venice and Cecily Cardew in The Importance of Being Earnest.

What is your favourite gemstone?
Amethyst . Purple has always been my favourite colour and the affordability of this beautiful gem makes it a great one to collect.
If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?
I had to ask my friends to answer this one for fear of coming across as deluded! They answered : Classic, stylish and sometimes elegant…
Any fashion or jewellery tips?
It is important to know your shape , which colours suit you best and to trust your instincts. With your jewellery collection, make it varied and enjoy every piece whether precious or costume.
Who is your ultimate style icon?
I think it is a combination of iconic women: Judi Dench, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Vivien Leigh.
Any embarrassing on-screen moments?
There are a few from over the years but the ones that stand out are not putting the lid on a food processor and ending up being covered in the coleslaw that I was preparing, driving a remote control car into the set Christmas tree and sending the whole tree cascading down in front of me and worst of all the dreadful Karaoke singing I inflicted on my audience on numerous occasions. I apologise for the latter!
Chloe Marshall
What did you do before joining TJC?
Before joining TJC...goodness....well I have been a face on a lot of the major UK shopping channels starting with my first job at Ideal World as part of the original launch team when I hosted the Breakfast Show. Before that I was in Marketing and worked for an agency as an Account Director with some great clients including Cathay Pacific Airways, Hewlett Packard and even Tiffany's...(so there was a jewellery connection there already!!) In the year or so I was away from the channel I was making Natural Health shows in the United States where I do a fair bit of hosting work and still do which is always fun.
What makes you enjoy working at TJC?
well...whats not to LOVE! I get to chat away about the girlie stuff and try on amazing fun jewellery. The nicest thing is the interaction and texts and feedback we get from our viewers. You always feel part of each others lives and they help you feel cheery even on difficult days.
What is your favourite gemstone and why?
Well I expect a lot of us will answer and say emeralds but in fairness I think I am allowed as it is my very own birthstone and I actually did the very first all Emerald hour on TJC years ago. As a result I do host quite a number of Emerald days and never fail to fall in love with its colour and the sound of those wopping valuations!!! If it wasn't an emerald...well you cant beat a massive diamond ring!!
Describe your personal style?
Its horrid describing yourself! It would probably be better to ask someone else what they think!! No rude replies please!!....but what I try to be is pretty classic maybe with a little funky twist now and again to try and make me feel young!!
What is your favourite colour and why?
You would think it was black the amount I wear of it however my Mother would say it was blue as a blue eyed girl!
Name your favourite restaurant and why?
Now you are talking! I LOVE FOOD!! Too much! Picking a favourite however is easy. There is an amazing beach bar in Portugal called Evaristo. I have spent many an amazing time since my childhood watching the sunset there in the cove, listening to fantastic music, drinking their own special white sangria while a big fish is cooking on the bbq. Heaven!!
If you were to travel around the world in 80 Days, which city will you begin from and why?
Now you are getting tricky! Well cities I adore would be New York for the feel, Bangkok for the excitement and Venice for the amazing film set appearance. Maybe one of those.
What is your worst ever fashion malfunction?
I am a bit if a Bridget Jones. If something is going to happen to somebody...it WILL be me! The one I can think of instantly was in the days of the long gypsy skirts one summer, I was at Lord's watching the Test Match Cricket with some friends and their business clients. The stand attempted a mexican wave and my skirt got stuck in the chair as I stood up. It split and I bared my behind to thousands of watching fans!!!
Who is your favourite celebrity and why?
Although we talk about celebrities and what they are wearing and their style, I do try not to get too obsessed by the celebrity culture. They are just people doing a job like the rest of us aren't they?! But probably if I was doing that interesting dinner party guest thing...Stephen Fry would be right up there!! Although what woman isn't in love with Gary Barlow at the moment! For ladies style tips I try and look out for ... Eva Mendes is my girl!
What is your best TV show and why?
I love the escapism of TV but I still don't think you can beat a good holiday read. I like all the awful reality shows..Strictly, X_Factor and America's Next Top Model. They are addictive but then nothing beats a Jeremy Kyle show rant sometimes and Im also enjoying Robson Green's Extreme Fishing and The Tudors. How random am I!!! My real desire is to be the next cardio-thoracic surgeon on Holby City however!
In exactly two words how would your best friend describe you?
Again..not really one for me to answer but I'm guessing maybe loyal and a giggle.
If you were to be the Prime Minister for Three (3) Hours, what would you do and why?
Three hours!! May take a wee bit longer than that. I suppose what you would like to do and what you could do money wise are two different things. In an ideal scenario it would be wonderful to put right injustices help lessen the divide between rich and poor and help the sick and elderly so everyone is comfortable and cared for and no one is lonely or desperate. Trying not to sound like a Miss World Contestant but it's hard not to! Also would propose a plan to get the tug boats and just drag as down south a little to get a bit more sunshine...!
Can you reveal a secret about a fellow TJC presenter?
I don't think I really can...even if I could, Im not sure it would be for me to say! But I will have a think and if something comes to mind... a good bit of gossip... then I will get back to you!!!!
Cris St. Valery
Cris is an experienced broadcaster having worked for the BBC, ITV and Eurosport, and of course The Jewellery Channel. He's presented from the Olympic Games, Rugby World Cup and World Athletic Championships amongst others. Cris has a passion for current affairs and whether it's via television, radio, online or via social media, he tries to keep up with the latest news from around the world. His other passion is, of course, jewellery which he has worked with for a number of years. "The wonderful thing about The Jewellery Channel", he tells us "is that that every gemstone has a unique story and place in history and it's always a pleasure to share those stories on-air with TJC viewers!
What is your favourite gemstone?
Well it's so hard to pick just one but I think Tanzanite has such a unique history and has really taken the world of gemology by storm in recent years.
Any fashion or jewellery tips?
Always be willing to try something new but remember the classics are 'classic' for a reason.
Who is your ultimate style icon?
I love how Daniel Craig transverses the style of Bond from the 1950's right up to the 2010's.
Any embarrassing on-screen moments?
Too many to mention really but falling off a chair whilst presenting a live TV programme probably takes the biscuit!
Derek Gibbons
The Scottish member of the team and presenting here on TJC since the very first day, Derek moved to London 14 years ago to study for a Degree and then a Masters degree in music. After graduating at the Royal Albert Hall, he started working on TV way back in 2003, and has worked alongside many household names (including Gloria Hunniford and Benedict Cumberbatch) on BBC 2, ITV 1, Channel Four and Channel Five - even composing music for many productions on the same networks (including TJC!).
Derek's father is a retired geologist and geography teacher who introduced Derek to the world of gemstones from an early age. Derek lives in Greater London and adores his girlfriend and pet cat, Cancun.
What is your favourite gemstone?
That would have to be my birthstone – Emerald! There is something about that internal, neon and almost eerie glow that is incredible to see; especially on a good quality, larger stone.
If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?
Conservative yet quirky!
Any fashion or jewellery tips?
Take on new ideas from around you; be inspired by the past but don't be afraid to create a brand new style for yourself. It's always good to try something new, so go for it! Also, don't go too over the top by piling on too many different styles…one or two well-chosen pieces of jewellery can make all the difference.
Who is your ultimate style icon?
As a bloke I would say I have no particular style icon, but can appreciate a well-dressed lady or gent. Personally, I love to be suited and booted with a crisp white shirt and colourful tie; simple but classic.
Any embarrassing on-screen moments?
All of the time! That's the nature of the job. I love it!
Georgi Couch
Georgi joined the production team at TJC back in early 2013. But it's 'Producer Georgi' you may be initially familiar with – know of course of giving you the best prices and taking them lower than low.
Georgi's TV career started at an early age. Having a dad in the film industry meant that Georgi caught the TV bug early, which led to her staring in both television commercials and series.
After a little while Georgi decided to take a break from showbiz. She followed her passion for beauty and skincare. Soon Georgi joined one of the country's leading health spas working with three of the largest premium British, American and Australian skincare brands and gained extensive knowledge in this field.
It wasn't long before her love of TV and film came calling again, and Georgi went on to work for the BBC, ITV, Marvel Films and Warner Bros. before the path lead her to TJC. A little bit of a dream come true as the job at TJC combined some of her biggest passions all in one job.
Georgi has gained a huge repertoire of knowledge in gemstones and gemology over her TJC career. This, alongside her love for beauty, skincare and fashion is why Georgi couldn't wait to get in front of the camera as a presenter and share her passion with every single TJC customer. (Plus there will be those very naughty prices Georgi is known for too!)
What is your favourite gemstone
For everyday wear I adore black spinel because of its simplistic, sophisticated glamour. Morganite for its feminine colour tone and undoubted elegance and beauty. And of course my birthstone which is Emerald. I adore the Boyaca Colombian emerald in particular because of its purity, clarity and inner glow of colour.
If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?
Simple, classic & edgy. I enjoy wearing simple neutral colours (predominately black!) teamed with classic, timeless tailoring and lines. Then I love to add an edge to my look with large carat weight gemstone rings, a leather jacket or something like a skull patterned silk scarf.
Any fashion or jewellery tips?
I always say to anyone who asks my advice on style or jewellery to go classic and you can't go wrong. Wear clothes that make you feel confident and comfortable, and then invest in some beautiful gemstones and accessories to make the look 'your own'. TJC has such a great range of pieces to help you do this!
Who is your ultimate style icon?
I would have to say I've taken a lot of my styling tips from my Nan. She always looks effortlessly glamorous and put together every single day. She has taught me to dress to suit your own body type, invest in great tailoring and that you don't have to follow anyone else's style but your own. I've even caught her borrowing my clothes before which I take as a huge compliment.
Any embarrassing on-screen moments?
Well, being a front runner for 'The Clumsiest Person on the Planet' award means you'll often see me dropping things, falling over my own feet and most recently the props from our 'Sale' studio set falling on my head for no apparent reason!
Jo Grimwood
Jo joined the TJC family back in 2011 and after a brief hiatus and training to become a GIA certified Gemologist, she is thrilled to be back again doing what she loves - talking and shopping!
Jo began her professional career as an actress, and after training at theatre school in London, she began to travel the world performing.
The seven seas called and Jo worked on some of the most luxurious cruise ships in the world as a shopping presenter, running her own successful business and helping people acquire beautiful jewellery in the Caribbean and Alaska.
With a lifelong passion for travel, Jo has been lucky enough to have visited many of the countries from which our beautiful gemstones are mined and even visited many of the mining sites themselves- a priceless experience.
She loves the hustle bustle of the TJC environment and the excitement of knowing a whole new box of treasures awaits each and every show for her to share with you…
What is your favourite gemstone?
When it comes to collectables, Tanzanite was love at first sparkle for me. It gives me the best of both worlds- the brilliance of a diamond but a rich exotic colour like no other gem. I also adore blue diamonds as they are just that little bit different!
If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?
Colourful, classic, always accessorise :)
Any fashion or jewellery tips?
Invest in those 5 classic jewellery essentials and you will have a timeless structure to your jewellery collection:
Diamond studs, tennis bracelet, pendant, right hand ring and diamond hoops. A longline station necklace is also a beautiful accessory. Then you can of course mix and match them with all your other TJC pieces!
Who is your ultimate style icon?
The 50's and 60's were such a fabulous period for fashion and who can beat Jackie O in her classic Pink Chanel suit?
Any embarrassing on-screen moments?
I'm a bit clumsy and you may often see me dropping things live on air, or hear clanging going on behind the set. It's ok- I hear all great artists are clumsy :)
Laura Schofield
Laura began her television career in a rather fabulous way – assisting Trinny and Susannah on the set of What Not to Wear. Loving the world of media, Laura whirled into a busy schedule of TV production and styling. She worked behind the scenes for a few years on entertainment and children's television, but soon realised that working in front of the camera was more her thing!
Laura has since presented an abundance of television and radio channels – loving the fashion side of things the most. Being a rather leggy lady (6 foot to be exact), Laura spends a fair amount of time style-blogging for other tall women. Staying in the world of fashion, Laura often hosts live fashion shows around the country for the likes of The Clothes Show Live for Cosmopolitan magazine amongst others. Last year she presented makeover advertorials for Remington on MTV, and her style tips were featured in Elle.
She loves nothing better than a good chin-wag, and has interviewed everyone from actors to Olympians, and even members of the royal family! But her biggest claim to fame is that she's the face of Watford shopping centre. Yes folks, she's kind of a big deal...
What is your favourite gemstone?
For chunky fashion pieces, I love the exotic bright blue of turquoise. But when it comes to collectibles, I'm going to be a bit of a traditionalist and say diamonds.
If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?
Tall, smiley and scary-alien-toes J
Any fashion or jewellery tips?
A big, bold, statement piece can breathe life into the most over-worn tops and dresses in your wardrobe. I always try and wear at least one high-impact piece - a chunky necklace, sparkly cuff bracelet or a fabulously blingy pair of earrings.
Who is your ultimate style icon?
Sarah Jessica Parker for her quirkiness, The Duchess of Cambridge for her lady-like wardrobe, and Lady Gaga... just for the fact that she'll happily wear a lobster on her head.
Any embarrassing on-screen moments?
I once had to dress up as a gorilla for children's telly. To be fair, no one knew it was me... but the eye-holes weren't in the right place, so I ended up skidding over in spectacular style and bashing my leg into a giant plant-pot. I've still got a big scar on my leg to prove it!
Lianna Bagley
What is your favourite gemstone?
It's tough to narrow it down to one! I particularly love Tanzanite and Turquoise as they are my birthstones, so they are quite sentimental to me. However, I also love the amazing colour palette in both Ammolite gems and Opals.
If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?
I think three words to sum up my look would be 'Classic butedgy'. I like to wear fairly simplistic outfits but then add a twist, whether that's with a bag, accessory or piece of jewellery.
Any fashion or jewellery tips?
I know it may sound cliché but I think every single person is individual so dress the way that makes you happy… and comfortable!
Who is your ultimate style icon?
I love how classic Kate Middleton dresses with both her clothes and jewellery! She often wears both drop pearl earrings as well as emerald earrings. I'm very envious of her jewellery collection!
Any embarrassing on-screen moments?
My most memorable moment yet was when I once knocked over about 40 pieces of jewellery on air. I was using my hands a lot to describe a piece, got too excited and next thing I knew all the pieces had fallen on the table below. Luckily they were durable stones so didn't break...Thankfully!

Lindsey is an established TV Presenter, Auctioneer & Events MC, with over 15 years of professional experience collectively, specialising in fine art, fine wines & jewellery.
As a BA Honours Art History graduate from The University of Nottingham, she spent the first 4 years of her career working in the USA as a Fine Art Auctioneer in the galleries in Michigan & Florida, plus onboard luxury cruise liners – namely, Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, Holland America, Carnival, Norwegian Cruise Line & Radisson Seven Seas.
Following this, she progressed into television in 2006, presenting for Auction Channels in the UK on Sky & Freeview - namely, Deal TV, Vinappris (specialising in wine), Speed Auction TV, Price-Drop TV and Bid TV (specialising in jewellery).
In 2010 she moved to China to work as a lead reporter for the Shanghai World Expo, appearing daily on national prime-time television (CCTV News), which made her a local celebrity overnight and earned her an award from the chinese government for her contribution to Chinese media. She remained in Shanghai for a further 4 years reporting for the entertainment news, as well as presenting travel, cultural & lifestyle shows.
Her greatest achievements in China include writing, producing, directing & presenting her own educational TV show about fine wine appreciation for the local Shanghainese (she is WSET Advanced Certified in wine knowledge), that was broadcast on Shanghai TV and in Hong Kong. She also founded her own production company, and went on to create her own online lifestyle TV show for her fellow expats. As a result a report was aired on her life, work & achievements in Asia.
In 2014, Lindsey came back to the UK, and her life-long personal passion for collecting jewellery, and acquired her Accredited Jewellery Professional Qualification with the Gemological Institute of America, while also hosting for Gems TV. She then progressed to jewellery specialist on QVC in 2016, before becoming a regular presenter on The Jewellery Channel where she remains to date!
Lindsey holds an official Advanced Auctioneer's Certificate (recognised by the National Auctioneer's Association), and was asked to co-host alongside Noel Edmunds for his latest auction-format show 'Sell or Swap', that was aired on Channel 4 prime-time, December 2016. Currently you can also see her auctioneer live in London regularly alongside multiple ex-Sothebys and ex-Christies colleagues, as well as BBC's 'Bargain Hunt' Tim Wonnacott and Sean Kelly from Storage Hunters with Timeline Auctions, with whom she is their jewellery specialist.
The remainder of the time(!) Lindsey hosts charity auctions internationally for The Lord Taverners (on behalf of President Angela Rippon OBE), J.Levines Arizona, The Loomba Foundation (on behalf of President Cherie Blair CBE), Cancer Research UK and even for Parliament!
What is your favourite gemstone?
There are so many it is hard to pick one! But if I had to wear one gemstone forever it would have to be a diamond. It is in a league of it's own – pure, classic, timeless. I even studied a whole module with the GIA solely on diamonds! There is nothing quite like it's brilliance, fire, scintillation & sparkle and it was the first gemstone I bought myself. I still wear this diamond trilogy ring everyday to dat,e as I feel it is the ultimate gemstone to own and the most empowering to buy yourself!
If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?
Glamour, sparkle & chic! I love stylish chic fashion, and adding glamour with sparkling statement jewellery pieces. I believe as women we should make the best of ourselves – whatever we have been given. Every woman has their own individual beauty that they can enhance in their own personalised way with the right clothing, make-up and jewellery. I remember living in China, and seeing a lot of the beautiful girls spoiling their look by dyeing their hair blond or their face white to look western. I realised then it's important to embrace what you have and enhance it, not spoil it!
Any fashion or jewellery tips?
Get your gold, rose gold & silver wardrobe together! I have a selection of silver/whitegold/platinum pieces that I compliment with cool shades of eye-shadow (silvers/purples/blues) with pink lipstick, as well as gold pieces I team up with warm shades of make-up (beige/browns/oranges) with red lipstick for a vibrant, powerful, striking look!
Who is your ultimate style icon?
I don't have one specific person, but there are lots of women I think look effortlessly glamorous, elegant and sophisticated such as Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johanssen and Angelina Jolie. But when I think about someone I admire, it has to be my mum. Being originally from Paris she has always had the knack of looking so classy in whatever she wears, the colours/styles she chooses, and how she accessorises with jewellery and scarves always works and looks so stylish. Needless to say she watches regularly when I'm on TJC and picks and chooses items to compliment her already-chic look!
Any embarrassing on-screen moments?
I don't really get embarrassed so I'd say no, however if you asked me if I've had some very funny moments, that's a definite yes! I get the giggles sometimes, and when I do, it's hard for me to stop laughing! So that has happened a few times, which was highly amusing!
Mark Gould
Mark has worked in the jewellery industry for all of his adult working life. Presenting on live television in both the UK and USA, Mark has enjoyed educating collectors and connoisseurs about gemstones and jewellery since 2012.
Having studied with The Gemmological Institute of America (GIA) to become an Accredited Jewellery Professional and visiting several gemstone mines including the Tanzanite mine in Tanzania alongside fellow TJC presenter Rachel Hatton, Mark is a true gemstone and jewellery expert.
Mark's other passions include home décor, skin care and shopping which make him a perfect fit for TJC.
What is your favourite gemstone?
Ultimately, it has to be Turkizite. It ticks virtually every single box in a checklist for the properties you could ever want a gemstone to possess. Its seductive multiple colour change makes it an extraordinary shapeshifter in the gemstone world, combined with its pleochroism, rarity and natural talent. Having said that, the first gemstone I ever fell in love with was Mercury Mystic Topaz.
If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?
Being a dog owner I'm always wearing joggers, t-shirts and trainers off screen and love feeling rebellious by wearing casual clothes as opposed to dressing smartly on air.
Any fashion or jewellery tips?
I love the fact that jewellery allows everyone to transform their look without having to completely change their style or colour palette in their wardrobe. I've heard and read so many times that red is 'the colour to wear' yet it is such a difficult colour to feel comfortable wearing head to toe whereas ruby allows you to incorporate and accessorise with red without totally committing to it.
Who is your ultimate style icon?
I don't have one, however, I admire Danny Dyer's look and combination of smart and casual.
Any embarrassing on-screen moments?
Way too many! Mostly involving unintentional innuendos. Also, I once knocked over an 8 foot Christmas tree on air simply by walking past it as well as losing a priceless Alexandrite loose stone by accidently pinging it from a pair of gemstone tweezers onto the studio floor.
Marina Berry
After working for 4 years, Marina graduated from radio to television, and has since presented and featured on various shows, working for BBC 1, ITV, Endemol, Channel 4, Channel 5 and Sky.
Marina also sings and her singing and songwriting skills have seen her work consistently on the professional circuit for over 10 years.

She can also be heard singing radio jingles and has been a backing singer for Peter Andre, Sam Bailey, The Feeling and more.
Rachel Hatton
Rachel has worked in the jewellery business for 4 years. Rachel's a bit of a professional traveller if you will; always making time to find out more about the gemstone world. She's visited gemstone mines in Africa, experienced how to craft jewellery in Jaipur, discovered how diamonds are bought and cut in Mumbai and looked to sourcing finest gemstones from Hong Kong.
Rachel is well read too, having gained a GIA AJP qualification in diamonds, coloured gemstones and jewellery. Adding to her repertoire, Rachel studied English Literature and Philosophy at the University of Bristol as well as presented a radio show in Manchester, interviewing many musicians and actors. She has an enormous passion for fashion – as seen when she presented at London fashion week, interviewing famous bloggers and fashion icons.
Outside of TJC, Rachel is often browsing the shops herself, as a self-confessed shopaholic. She is constantly experimenting with new styles and beauty trends. She loves to eat out, travel the world and experience new cultures. This year so far she's travelled to Iceland, Venice, Florida, Canary Islands, Majorca and Hong Kong!
What is your favourite gemstone
For daytime, it has to be labradorite – it's a laid back gemstone but with a mysterious metallic blue light to give it an edge. For night-time glamour, it has to be the most long loved stone – Emerald! The glow is unparalleled, as is its history! Pharaoh Cleopatra was known for her passion for Emeralds, it's a Queen's gem!
If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?
I can talk about jewellery and fashion until I'm blue in the face, but it's so hard to describe yourself. But on telly – I try to feel 'glamourous' and 'groomed'. Whether I always do, is another question. And at home, I go for 'comfort'! I do love my chill-out clothes; my pyjamas draw is bulging!
Any fashion or jewellery tips?
I think accessories and jewellery is the perfect way to show your style and individuality! So use accessories to draw attention to a part of you that makes you special, such as a pair of sapphire earrings to accentuate your beautiful blue eyes. Your accessories draw is your box of tricks when it comes to updating your look or transforming an otherwise dull outfit. Keep it stocked with plenty of scarves, belts, bags and jewellery, adding a few new pieces each season so that you can always look bang on trend!
Who is your ultimate style icon?
I adore New York fashionista Olivia Palermo's style. She is so effortlessly chic, elegant and outrageously fashionable! What I would give to raid her wardrobe. Often I am browsing Instagram and being inspired by fashion bloggers and street style. There are so many fabulous women out there rocking it!
Any embarrassing on-screen moments?
Yes too many to mention, I am an embarrassing person! I once wrongly described a ring as 'extortionate' rather of 'extraordinary'! Come to think of it, I often make up words! Presenting 4 hours straight, sometimes your brain becomes a little muddled! There are many more embarrassing things, but I can't admit to them – maybe if we have a mojito together one day – I'll spill the beans!
Stacey Ellis
With over 1000 hours of live TV experience, Stacey is a quick-witted and confident presenter. Her cheeky and spontaneous humour has been a huge hit with viewers across all groups.

What is your favourite gemstone?
Paraiba for the collector, tanzanite as it's so beautiful, Russian diopside for the amazing richness of greens. But when people ask me what they should buy right now.... Zultanite, trust me in 5 years' time you will be glad you did! I know that's more than one but it's impossible to pick
If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?
Feminine, relaxed, and classic.
Any fashion or jewellery tips?
If you love it buy it – It's that simple.
Who is your ultimate style icon?
Jennifer Aniston. Her style is effortlessly cool and comfortable - and is totally doable for the rest of us.
Any embarrassing on-screen moments?
Plenty, but my most embarrassing moment to date happened at the last Tucson gem show – not really on screen, but a real cringe moment!
After a long day of filming I was taken out to a beautiful restaurant by the big bosses of TJC. Amit, our Head Gem Buyer handed what I thought was a sweet across the table, so I popped it in my mouth.... everyone at the table shouted nooooooo! Well it wasn't an M & M! To my horror, it was actually a really rare cat's eye rubellite. Don't think I'll ever live that one down.
Steven Milne

Hash-Ish? Shouldn't that be "Hashi-Ishi"?
Or better yet, "Icchi-Sukuracchi"!
Get it!? "itchy and Scratchy" from "The Simpsons"!
British suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst preached something like this...
...and she was thrown in prison for it!
What is wrong with this place? in a word "politicians"
What a sec I thought this twit wasnt even running the election, ishi neither, something wrong here if they are going to be doing all this action!
Hash-ish ! Are they trying to appeal to the stoners, who have just had their herbs banned ?
Hashimoto pledges action, not words
That's good because so far his words have only been good for bad headlines.
It is about time the inefficient farmers in this country get put in their place. What is wrong with this place? Well yes...but... at the same time....
The Japanese were until very recently a nation of farmers, about half the Japanese population sees themselves as recent descendents of farmers.
With industrial revolutions, farming was modernised at various times around the world, resulting in great hardship for pre-modernised farmers. As increasingly modern techniques and machinery arrived, tennant farmers, and harvesters were sacked or not reemployed. In Japan, however, land reform came before extensive modernisation. The Japanese farmers can not be sacked, or "not-reemployed," they will need to be bancrupted out of the regions for their to be agricultural economies of scale (but see below - economies of scale are difficult anyway).
Lacking large areas of flat agricultural land, little can be done to greatly improve efficiency. Economies of scale do not work when farm size is controlled by the size of valleys rather than land ownership. In the face of competition from states with large areas of flat land, open international competition may mean that a lot of Japanese agriculture simply disappears rather than becomes more efficient,
Japan has a very low level of food self sufficiency, thus increasing Japanese food dependency on other states. Japan's main supplier, the US, has been know to embargo grain sales (to the Soviet Union) for political reasons.
Despite rapid post war urbanisation, Japan remains less urbanised than many industrial countries (about as urbanised as Ireland). But with geographically cramped, crowded cities and, thanks to the media and kinship ties, greater awareness of suffering in the regions, both increases in urban population, and the deplition of of rural population ("kasouka") are seen as social problems. They probably always were. Urbanisation is generally a period of labour (in the birthing sense) that industrial states need to go through but most of them went through it in the past, when morals, media, and general human well-being were less sensisitive or developed.
Finally, some good news, apparently Japanese industrial growth has corresponded with periods of high urbanisation. I am not sure why. Perhaps Japanese farmers, their sons and daughters, work harder for lower wages. It could even be argued that with the Westernisation of Japan, to an extent, the rural Japanese are last cultural Japanese, the last of those that powered the "Japanese econmic miracle". If the last of the Japanese rurual population are forced out of the regions, then this may result in (I hope not the last) Japanese economic revival.
"The Japanese government has tumbled but neither Tokyo nor Osaka fell,"
This is the most naives statement has ever heard of in the politics world! Ruling a local government , a city is far simple than running a state! This is an errornous theory and giving 'FALSE HOPES' to the public! Thats why I said both of them were 'out of touch' with this real world! Like MIchiko Tanak remarked Ishihara is a reckless old man, I think her excellence better adding 'Two reckless man from two different generations'! The japanese political woes wasnt just 'the older generation' problem but the entire cultural problem! Even young generation japanese were misleaded by their own parents! that is realyl a big problem!
Critics charge the two are ideologically incompatible and say their jerry-rigged coalition is almost bound to fall apart down the road.
That party fell miserably before the election! Who is going to donate money to Mr Hashimoto? Not even Ishihara will!
Words lead to logic and reason, not good for nationalistic knee-jerk politics like these.

I saw this yesterday and I think this guy nails it.
I saw this yesterday and I think this guy nails it.
"A criminal is a person with predatory instincts who has not sufficient capital to form a corporation."
"My hero"
I like this video. I just wish people would stop being so selfish and would actually have some decency besides wanting nothing but money and taking shortcuts. That's what's killing this planet.
What makes the people in charge of regulating the economy more qualified to do that than us common idiots? Divine right?
Well, this is interesting. I have found that if you're being truly honest, and not just a sheep that only cares about spending for instance, when your party is not in power, your opinions on different topics are never going to match up completely with any party.
When you look at their positions on all the various hot button topics versus democratic and republican, I'm with the idiots. I find democrats out of the question with their stance on the second amendment, their anti war rhetoric ( and that's all it is) disgusting, because it means nothing. With the republicans, the uber religious right wing leaves me cold, I cannot reconcile my beliefs on gay rights with their stances, their rhetoric on spending, their stances on healthcare ( which seem to be closely tied in with Obama's) and small government is just as disgusting as the democrats.
My problem before this video with the libertarian party was that if they ever did get into power, why would I think they ever would act any differently than the crooks there now? I knew they wouldn't, so my answer has ALWAYS been campaign finance reform. This guy is kind of saying the same thing, we have to figure out a way to keep private money OUT of the election process (actually out of politics altogether). This money does not just come from business, other sources are just as to blame.
So while I agree with the video, I would have an issue that he seems to be kind of giving our current legislators a pass, it's all the greedy businesses fault...I say it's just as much the corrupt legislators, they are not stupid, they know what they are doing, they know what it means to the future of this country.
In closing, I have never advocated for getting rid of our government, I'm smart enough to know we absolutely need it, but it needs to be overhauled for all of us to get the service we deserve.

We never would as long as the Federal Reserve exists. Even then, who is Congress to tell you how to run your business or manage your personal finances? What's to stop the CEO of a major company from running for Congress and changing the regulations to benefit their company at the expense of their competitors?
I would have to agree with this. IMO, an absolutely incredibly powerful government that regulates the crap out of everything does not sound like an answer to me...sounds like another problem.
I do want to make it clear though that I am with him when it comes to his feelings on business. I feel if they are free to do as they wish, it will never work out for the regular joe. I don't care for all of these buyouts of these big businesses by other even bigger competitors...I feel it usually leaves the consumer with less choices and higher prices, so I would hope that there is an answer somewhere in the middle...balance would be the key.
that guy sounds crazy, he should regulate himself...

The poem 'Unetaneh Tokef' reminds us that we can change our own character, even if we cannot completely control our future
Do today's Seders exist to remember the past, or did past events occur so that they could be remembered later?
As we endure a season of destructive storms and surging seas, why on earth would we pray for rain?
How can you enter a day of moral repair with words on your lips that annul your past and future promises?

It has become too obvious that the EFF is a very worthy foundation to give to. If MS thinks they can just screw people like this, they must be living in a very un-American America. Screw them in court until it hurts.
In an open letter sent to Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer today, EFF outlines five steps Microsoft must take to make things right for MSN Music customers -- including a issuing a public apology, providing refunds or replacement music files, and launching a substantial publicity campaign to make sure all customers know their options.Link (Thanks, Rebecca!)"MSN Music customers trusted Microsoft when it said that this was a safe way to buy music, and that trust has been betrayed," said EFF Staff Attorney Corynne McSherry. "If Microsoft is prepared to treat MSN Music customers like this, is there any reason to suppose that future customers won't get the same treatment?"

Thanks!! & i totally understand, i dont have any kids, but my paycheck goes towards the same.. food, bills, GAS... the usual... and to be completely honest, i just did the math on what mind cost me...it added up to roughly $55, so its not far from yours at all.. plus i had to do all the "leg" work and it took a total of about 2 weeks to get done.... i had to get the suede on ebay, buy my own thick red thread... take apart my console, find a good upholstery place.. have them recreate my shift boot and e brake boot with the new materials (that took a week, since they have regular projects they work on) in the meantime, i had to strip and clean throroughly the shift boot and e brake boot holders with adhesive removers and wire brushes... then when i got my stuff back, i had to re-glue it back myself.. im happy with the results, but it did take time and work.... good sh*t on what your doing, i mean that sincerely... prices are not bad, and the end result looks great...

Goalies will determine how the West is won
by Dan Rosen / Vancouver CanucksJean-Sebastien Giguere is one of the most consistent goalies in the NHL. VIDEO |
Each conference has their share of supremely talented goalies, but some consistently separate themselves from the rest. What follows is NHL.com's list of the top five goalies from the Western Conference entering this season.
Jean-Sebastien Giguere, Anaheim Ducks -- When you talk about consistent goalies, Giguere belongs near the top of the list. He has won at least 30 games in each of the past three seasons while never playing in more than 60. His GAA and save percentage have also gone down every season since the lockout.
Giguere, like the rest of the Ducks, had a disappointing 2008 Playoffs, but history suggests this will be his bounce back year. In his four playoff appearances, Giguere has twice made the Stanley Cup Final and twice been ousted in the first round.
Roberto Luongo, Vancouver Canucks -- Despite appearing in the playoffs only once in his career, Luongo is widely respected throughout the League as one of the premier netminders. He has the talent and the numbers to prove it.
Luongo has played in 70 or more games in each of the past four seasons. He posted a career-best 47 wins in 2006-07 when the Canucks made the playoffs. Last season he won 35 games and had a 2.38 GAA, but Vancouver fell short.
Much like Brodeur in New Jersey and Miller in Buffalo, Luongo is the star in Vancouver and he'll have to play like it for the Canucks to get back to the postseason.
Who are the best East goalies? Martin Brodeur is poised to shatter several milestones this season, including most wins ever, but he has competition as the East's best goalie. ...more West's top goalies
While 77 games played may seem a bit high, Nabokov proved he could handle the load. He likely will play closer to 65-70 this season with Brian Boucher, a veteran backup, signed to start the season with the Sharks.
Nevertheless, Nabokov could be in line for another All-Star season.
Chris Osgood, Detroit Red Wings -- Osgood has had a roller coaster career, but the ride got really sweet last season when he supplanted Dominik Hasek as the No. 1 in Detroit and led the Wings to their fourth Stanley Cup championship in the last 11 years.
He may not have the cachet of some of these other guys, but Osgood is a consistent winner and that puts him on a very short list. If he stays healthy, he could possibly win his 400th career game this season. He has 363 right now.
Osgood has won 30 games only once in the last five seasons, but this is the first time since 2003-04 that he is entering the season as the No. 1. He is also on the League's best team -- at least that's what the Wings are on paper as we enter the season.
Marty Turco, Dallas Stars -- Turco silenced some critics last season with a strong postseason. He led the Stars to the Western Conference Final, where they gave Detroit a run, and finished the playoffs with a 2.08 GAA and .922 save percentage.
He should be buoyed by the confidence gained from the playoffs, and that should again make Dallas a very dangerous team in the Pacific Division. Turco will also likely carry a heftier load this year without a proven backup.
He hasn't played in 70 games since 2003-04, but if he's healthy that's about the number the Stars are looking for from him considering Stephane Tobias, who has played in one NHL game, is currently the No. 2 in Dallas.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Boehner: Birth Control Mandate Is Unconstitutional
TPM put the constitutional question to a senior administration official, who didn't sound too concerned about it.
"This decision was made after very careful consideration of legal and policy points," the official said. "We think this is a balanced approach that really tries to respect religious belief while ensuring access to contraception for women."
The Obama administration first issued the regulation last year and finalized it on January 20, resisting religious pressure to carve out more exemptions for them.

On Seeing by the Light of Darkness
This will be a threefold challenge, since I don't know what I'm talking about, have no idea how to express it, and am in no condition to do so. Regarding the latter, there is another baby bug in the house. Fortunately it is not of the GI variety, like the last one. Rather, it is of the sore throat-upper respiratory species. Still, combined with the time change, it takes something out of a lad.
On the other hand, a temporary, sometimes even willed, derangement of the senses can be the best approach to the unknown. It pushes you off the map of the familiar, to the threshold of the greater Mystery. People use fancy vacations, drugs, meditation retreats, etc.--anything to try to trick the nervous system and get around its tendency to erect a fence of routine and familiarity around everything.
For the majority of the time I was employed as a retail clerk between 1976 and 1988, I worked the graveyard shift. That's a good name for it, because there is no doubt that the still darkness of night is when the transdimensional spooks come out to play. I was generally sleep-deprived during those years, and might have been utterly exhausted by, say, 1:00 or 2:00am. But then, out of necessity, I would break through a sort of "wall," and afterwards be in an extended state of hypnopompic alertness until going to bed at around 9:00am. You might say that one I would close but another would open.
Interestingly, the Greeks had a word, psychopomp, referring to the conductor to the realm of lost souls. That realm is what we now call the unconscious. As a matter of fact, the "free association" of psychoanalysis is nothing more than an attempt to lull the ego to sleep, while the analyst is the psychopomp who will lead the search for the lost parts of oneself dwelling in the darkness of the unconscious.
Anyway, once I would break through that wall of fatigue, I would enter a very distinct state. Hard to describe, but it was as if the world were dreaming---which it was--and I was, so to speak, partaking of the same state. Only while awake. In the midst of this night consciousness, many ideas--call them "mythological" or "sacred" ideas--made perfect sense that didn't necessarily make sense in the unforgiving light of day.
The entire process was abetted by a certain radio program that aired from midnight until 5:00am. It featured lectures by various spiritual luminaries both high and low, everyone from Krishnamurti to Alan Watts to D.T. Suzuki to Timothy Leary and Ram Dass. I was especially influenced by the spellbinding lectures of the ethnobotanist, shamanologist, and mushroomologist Terence McKenna, may he rest in peace. He is a perfect example of someone who only makes sense at 3:00am. In that vein, I like to think of this blog as a sort of 3:00am dispatch from ther heart of the void: all the eternity that's fit to print.
You might compare it to how certain religious ideas might "resonate" more if you are standing in a 14th century European cathedral, each part of which is designed to carry your temporal consciousness upward and outward, to the contemplation of eternity.
It wasn't long ago that the world was a very, very dark place. I mean that both literally and figuratively. That is, before the invention of electric lights, the night was pitch black except for perhaps a small center of candle or firelight. People were aware of the darkness as a real and present entity, in a way that we are not. Modern people rarely live in darkness except when they are asleep. As such, the only time they have access to the dream world--and night consciousness--is when they are unconscious.
It is as if night consciousness is our "missing half" that would allow us to make sense of certain things that cannot be discussed or understood in the harsh light of day. Certainly this is something James Joyce realized in attempting, in Finnegans Wake, to tell the entire story of mankind from the standpoint of "nighttime logic." That is, he depicted all of human history as the restive and far-flung dream of a single sleeping individual in a single night.
In order to have a comprehensive understanding of ourselves, we must not only be familiar with the daytime part--the ego--but also the nighttime part--the unconscious. Likewise, I am of the belief that there is the mundane, horizontal "daytime history" of academic historians, but also a more vertical "nighttime" history of the human race that can only be discussed in ways entirely unfamiliar to the rank and file historian.
To cite just one example that comes readily to mind, take our founding fathers. One of the problems with secular leftist history is that it is increasingly a spiritually suffocating "daytime" history, to the point of absurdity. Thus we have books that will tell you that the founders were motivated entirely by economic self-interest, or that they were actually less elevated than we are, in that some of them were slave owners.
But in my "nighttime" view of the founders, I literally regard them as political avatars sent to earth with a divine mission. Again, literally--I see them as analogous on a political level to Jesus or Buddha or Krishna on a religious level. The more one immerses oneself in their spiritual and intellectual world, the more this becomes readily apparent. Just imagine if we were to gather together the greatest secular "daytime" minds of today and hold a constitutional convention. One shudders at the--ironically nightmarish--thought!
You will no doubt realize that our founders are still our primary benefactors and protectors from the onslaught of the daytime left. Despite 225 years of "progress," our founders still understand us better than we will ever understand them, in the same way that scripture, in its esoteric aspect, comprehends us better than any profane Jesus seminarian will ever be able to understand scripture exoterically. I would venture to say that the purely mythological beliefs that George Washington cut down a cherry tree, never told a lie, and threw a coin across the Delaware River are more true than the "sophisticated" idea that he was a greedy capitalist motivated only by self-interest. Indeed, how to talk about such greatness without resorting to myth?
You will also note that when you try to denude the world of its nighttime dimension, you actually do end up creating a waking nightmare: "the sleep of reason begets monsters." Another way of saying it is that (paraphrasing someone) there is a form of madness that consists of losing everything but one's reason. This is one reason why the secular left is such a fount of un- and insanity. Like a psychotic person, they dream while awake and call it reality.
But of course, they believe we are the insane ones. Thus, another dimension of the "culture war" is between those who can see in the dark vs. those who believe the darkness no longer exists just because we have electricity. For them, darkness is no longer visible. They see only light. But because their eyes have become insensitive to the dark, they see only by artificial light, not natural light--that is, the true light that lights the world.
I'm really rambling, but I guess that's part of the point I'm trying to make. I did not "intend" to venture down this path, but it was facilitated by illness and fatigue. I was going to begin a discussion of reincarnation, which several readers have requested. My point, before going into the discussion, is that reincarnation is clearly one of those topics that can only be understood by the light of night. We must imagine ourselves in total darkness, perhaps huddled around a small fire, allowing the night to whisper its secrets from the far side of consciousness.

NFC All-Stars crush AFC
By OSKAR GARCIA
Associated Press
HONOLULU — A handful of shenanigans and plenty of points — yet still another ho-hum Pro Bowl.
Whether the NFL's all-star game will return next season is a something the league will ponder the next few months after the NFC's 62-35 blowout of the AFC on Sunday.
"It's been an unbelievable week," Seattle rookie quarterback Russell Wilson said, "And the thing was, if you watched us, everybody was competing today and it was really awesome."
Wilson at least got the crowd pumped up in the second half with some nifty scrambles and three passing touchdowns. There was also Houston's sack-happy defensive end J.J. Watt going out for a couple of passes as a wide receiver, and retiring Green Bay center Jeff Saturday snapping to two Mannings on opposite teams.
But while the NFC appeared unstoppable on offense, with nearly each player putting up fantasy-worthy lines in limited play, the AFC had five turnovers and scored most of its points well after the game was no longer competitive.
Minnesota tight end Kyle Rudolph was voted the game's MVP with five catches for 122 yards and a touchdown.
"Guys were competing, guys wanted to win and guys want to keep the game here," Rudolph insisted. "That was the point before the game. We want to keep this game rolling for future Pro Bowlers."
Watt, who had 20 1/2 sacks for Houston, lined up as a wide receiver on the AFC's third play from scrimmage, but missed a pass from Denver quarterback Peyton Manning. He was targeted one more time, but didn't make a catch.
He later showed a television camera a bloody left pinkie, joking with NBC broadcasters that it was proof that the players were trying.
"Hey, Commish, we're playing hard," Watt said as he showed his finger.
Roger Goodell has said the Pro Bowl won't be played again if play didn't improve this year. Last year, fans in Hawaii booed as lineman were clearly not trying. On one play in that game, Minnesota defensive end Jared Allen did a barrel roll to switch positions with a teammate.
If players were coasting this time around, it was less obvious. The AFC just played poorly. And fans didn't boo much — the stands were relatively empty even though the game sold enough tickets to lift a local television blackout.
The game was trending on Twitter in the United States early on, but quickly gave way to the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the WWE Royal Rumble.
Saturday, retiring at the end of this season, played for both teams, though he came representing the NFC. He lined up on one play for the AFC to snap the ball one last time to Manning, his longtime former Colts teammate.
Saturday said it meant a lot to him that the Broncos quarterback, whom Saturday called a true friend, orchestrated the stunt.
"He's got a little more pull than I got," Saturday said. "He got it all set up and timed up for me, so it was really nice of him to do that."
Saturday played 13 seasons in Indianapolis, all with Manning — except 2011, when Manning was out with a neck injury. Saturday then played later in the game for the NFC, snapping to Peyton's brother, Giants quarterback Eli Manning.
Saturday's last play on the field was a passing touchdown by Eli Manning.
Peyton Manning said it was nice for the NFL to allow the play to happen.
"It's something that I'll always remember," he said, "that he'll always remember to kind of get that one, final snap together after the thousands that we've taken together."
Even as the NFC piled up touchdowns, the game struggled for memorable moments after Saturday's momentary switch.
In the second quarter, referee Ed Hochuli drew cheers when announcing a pass interference penalty on Denver cornerback Champ Bailey in the second quarter — the first flag of the game.
"Yes, there are penalties in the Pro Bowl," Hochuli said, drawing laughs and loud cheers.
Giants wideout Victor Cruz broke a Pro Bowl record with 10 catches. Tampa Bay receiver Vincent Jackson had 91 yards and two touchdowns. Eli Manning threw for 191 yards and two touchdowns.
Cincinnati's A.J. Green had three TD catches for the AFC.
NFL officials said earlier in the week that the league wants to decide the future of the Pro Bowl by the time next season's schedule is released in April.
"We understood exactly what (Goodell) wanted, guys were making plays all over the field," Cruz said. "There was a little bit more high intensity than in years past and we were excited to play."
