Why I'm Quitting the Glencairn Glass
It comes as no surprise that spirits and beverage industry has identified the ideal glass for tasting whatever product they're trying to sell. There are separate wine glasses for enjoying your pinots noir and pinots gris, a wide variety of glasses to complement a certain style of ale or lager, and specific glasses for "fully experiencing" tequilas, gins, and brandies.
Mostly, this is insider stuff, employed at competitions, industry events, and certain high-end bars and restaurants with expansive "programs." But there is one specialty glass that has made its way into the homes of consumers and fans since it came into production in 2001: the Glencairn whisky glass.
This is a tulip shaped glass made by the Glencairn Crystal company as the vessel par excellence for sipping Scotch whisky. It's endorsed by the Scotch Whisky Association, and it is used by every major whisk(e)y company in Scotland and Ireland. These days, you'll find them everywhere, from tasting rooms all over Kentucky Bourbon country to chain stores such as Crate and Barrel and even Target. They're not expensive, and seem to be an easy add-to-your-collection item for whiskey and bourbon enthusiasts.
The idea is this: the glass is around 175ml (6 oz.) and is designed to hold 50 ml of spirit (1.75oz), the identified ideal ratio of liquid to air. The glass is made for "nosing," wherein the aromatic molecules coming off the liquid are funneled into a tighter bouquet at the top, allowing the sipper to maximize the nose and further enhance the experience.
I have owned two of these for nearly ten years now, employing them whenever I have a bottle that cost more than $30 and want to get the most of my investment. And, admittedly, they do make great props for photoshoots.
I don't like them, and I think I'm done.
Why? Because I don't simply don't enjoy out of them as much as a standard rocks glass or tumbler. After many evenings trying to enjoy something complicated and well-aged, I've decided these do not enhance my experience at all. In fact, for me, they end up detracting from the enjoyment of something special on which I've spent my hard-earned money. Here's my argument:
Objection #1: They're too small. The fluted cylinder shape designed to concentrate the aroma certainly makes it better for nosing. But it makes it worse for sipping. I do not have an abnormally large nose nor face, but I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to fit both my nostrils and enough of my mouth in the glass to get the liquid to my palette. This requires me to smell and taste the spirit separately, and while that might work for identifying its characteristics, it does not make it more fun to drink.
Objection #2: They're too dainty. Whiskey need not be big and brutal. Some of my favorite drams are light, complex, and sophisticated. But whiskey is still whiskey, and whether it has some high-proof heat or is delicate spice and floral notes, sipping a neat pour is not the same as enjoying something like champagne. It's a warming, intense experience, and the fact that its a-little-tough-to-swallow is all part of the fun. Pouring a 16-year-old Islay into this light little glass held with two fingers feels like smoking a brisket for twelve hours, then taking it to a tea party to be sliced paper thin and served on finger sandwiches with the crusts cut off. With my hands, the shape and scale of the thing literally makes me stick my pinky in the air, because there's not enough room for it on the glass. Fine for tea. Not for single malt.
Objection #3: Enjoying whiskey at home is not the same as assessing it in tasting context. I do not think the whisk(e)y industry is wrong. I have full confidence that the people who taste some of the most complex and exquisite spirits in the world know how to best experience and assess them. And the next time I do a distillery tour in Kentucky, I fully expect the tastings of different mashbills, small batch, single barrels, and the like to come in the Glencairn glasses with the brand name etched on the outside. And I'll love it.
But, once you have a bottle at home, you're not there to distinguish among several styles and varieties. You're there to unwind, enjoy a glass or two, and marvel at the craft of the people who made this for you, with wonder at how ingredients as simple as grain, water, and charred oak could taste this good.
At home, the Glencairn glass is fussy, and, at least for me, unnecessary. Don't set the table Thanksgiving-style for a cheeseburger. Even if it's an $18 one.
Now that's a whiskey glass.
From now on, I'll follow my intuition, and enjoy my whiskey in rocks glass. It will be heavy on the bottom, with a nice, wide diameter so I can wrap my whole hand around it. A proper sip of whiskey is a full-bodied experience, and so I will use more of my body to enjoy it. It will feel weighty in my hand, because whiskey itself is a weighty experience.
I will not be getting rid of my Glencairn whisky glasses. They will stay on the shelf next to my martini coupes, and on occasion, I will probably pull them out. They will likely still show up in ManMade photos, if only for variety and help with visual storytelling. But, on any given Saturday night as I savor my investment bottles, I'll be enjoying my Scotch, bourbon, or Irish pot still from a solid 10-12 oz tumbler. Perhaps my aroma molecules will dissipate faster due to the wider surface area and more exposure to air. That's okay. I'll feel more connected to the thing I paid for. Because that's what I love about whiskey.
And our differences are what makes the world go round.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution. There are some whiskies that make you want to indulge in the olfactory experience, while others don't. I always aim to start a new whisky in the Glencairn (or similar tulip shaped glass) to get a complete experience and then decide whether I want to use the Glencairn for that whisky in the future. I use them about 20% of the time resorting to 3.25" dia. old fashioned crystal for the other 80%.
John Ineen on Aug 19, 2019:
100% agree with you. I have been out with clients ordering a bourbon and the waiter always attempts to correct me when I request my drink neat and in a low rock glass. I have tried those glasses and really hated how small it feels as I'm taking a sip. It's definitely personal preference but I applaud you for taking a stand on how ridiculous people can be influenced by marketing! I stick with the original way our forefathers drank whiskey!
David on Aug 09, 2019:
You would love the new "Norlan whisky glass" and yes they do spell whisky without the e that just came out they Are amazing .. solves all the problems you just stated you can fit your nose and mouth at the same time they are Bigger glasses but it is a glass integrated into a glass bigger than the Glencairn same concept for nosing but i have found Superior and has a few knobs on the bottom for aerating the whiskey so you will get all the same great experience able to fit nose and mouth at the same time and no more pinky in the air..Cheers

Try using them for cask strength. Amazing....
Joel on Jun 13, 2019:
I have an array of whisky glasses. Maybe I'm a bit of a glassware nerd. I enjoy the different experience from Glencairns, Canadian Glencairns, Copitas, Highland Whisky Glasses, and plain ol' tumblers. The Glencairn or Copita is usually for when I do a "focused" tasting for my whisky blog. When I'm having drinks with friends, it's usually the tumbler or Canadian glencairn. I don't like ice in my whisky, so that's a non-issue for me where the Glencairn is concerned.
Darryl Roberts on May 27, 2019:
I am sitting here drinking a glass of Laphroaig 10 and wondering why the Glencairn glasses so special. I was given one as part of a Christmas gift of Woodford Reserve. The Woodford is a piece of history now, having been turned into so many Manhattans. I never tried the glass before, so I thought I would enjoy the scotch whiskey through it. Like you, I just don't understand it. For one, I like to put a whiskey ball into my Scotch and it won't fit through the little skinny top. Instead, I have to use a plain old ice cube. Not that there's any difference in the effect, still... i'll keep it around to impress my snooty friends, but for the most part I'll be using a lowball glass and a whiskey ball. Thanks.
Laurence on Apr 10, 2019:
While I agree that the original Glencairn is much too fussy and dainty for actual drinking at home, there are many other alternatives that suit the task these days. Rather than using a plain old rocks glass which does nothing to enhance the whisky, why not try any of the myriad other glasses that might fit both bills? There are ones from Norlan, Riedel, Libbey, Brumate and more that solve both problems. And as others have mentioned, Glencairn's own Canadian glass seems like a great compromise and solution.
Rhane on Apr 10, 2019:
Well written and I can see your point. It was a pleasure to read your post and I appreciate how you are sharing this point of view with the rest of the world. I don't agree but then that is just like asking someone about their favorite whisky...everyone has a favorite and glad they are not all the same. Cheers!
Richard Burn on Mar 27, 2019:
I whole heartedly agree with you. Good for those shop and distillery tastings but as you alluded too it's like drinking from a glass thimble. I was gifted some stem-less red wine glasses of which are now my whisky tumblers. The don't have a traditional large heavy base however they are a "large" tulip shape that you can get your lips and nose into. Ardbeg distillery have the same shape in their gift boxes, only in green. That's my go too glass that the rest to be jealous about.
Greg on Mar 27, 2019:
I really appreciate your article about this concern.
At home I am using the simple Duralex Prime glasses for whisky (and pretty much everything) and I am happy with it.
Like you said at home I have a whisky to drink it not to noose or do complex tasting, plus a large noose is not the best friend of small glasses.
I don't mind the copita or glencairn for tasting even if I am always afraid of breaking the glass but at home I like the sensation of the large glass in my hand.
Geno on Mar 24, 2019:
Try the Stolzle Crystal 6.5 Ounce Whisky Nosing Glass. Its significantly larger and much easier to hold as it has a short stem. I really like mine but also am experimenting with different glassware. I do like a thin crystal glass though. For me it enhances the juice!...........Sla'inte!
Trem on Feb 17, 2019:
I have 8 of them and i am starting to dislike them as well. Maybe it's because I don't nose, I Sip and drink, but the wide mouth bourbon glasses that I just bought make my Irish whiskey taste better. And that's what I care about. Sometimes when I drink out of a Glencairn glass all I taste is burning alcohol
Jorbo on Jan 21, 2019:
Oban makes a similar glass that is a lot better. They gave one to me when I was there.
BourbonWhisky on Jan 04, 2019:
I like my whisky neat in either a tumbler or a flask.
William Jones on Dec 03, 2018:
Disagree. Perfect shape and too small? I'm not that lazy that I can't simply top it off when I need to. I like the smaller glass because enjoying an expensive Scotch is a treat. When I need a stiff one after a long day, it's a Bombay martini.
Chad Winters on Dec 02, 2018:
I really like the Canadian version as a compromise as well, more comfortable too hold and drink from with some venturi effect
Kerry McCarthy on Nov 02, 2018:
I Love these glasses.
Afraid I'll have to disagree with the author's assessment.
KJ on Jun 01, 2018:
I agree wholeheartedly. I have two rocks glasses that I love for whiskey. Both have heavy bottoms and a good heft. One has a nice cut glass pattern of the side and the other is nice and clear. When I want to spend some time and admire the color, I go with the clear one. Both let me experience the "nose" and taste at the same time. And they can sit on nearly any surface without worrying that a small bump will send to toppling over.
Chris the whiskey fighter on Jun 01, 2018:
I have to agree. As a big whiskey head, I too fell out of love with that glass style. Known as said whiskey head, I received two as a gift. One eventually broke to the gentlelist of handling, the second now collects dust. I just couldn't put a finger on it at the time, but I just had an empty feeling using it. Now I use a regular rock glass.

Yes. I have decided to stay on Orkut no more. Nothing planned or in haste. My time is worth much more to me and others. And guess who brought about this wake up call….its Dinky>> Chirag's kid bro. Yes sometimes we forget that even something as insignificant as an ant can teach us something we can learn from.
On Chirag's bir'day he asked me to change his login password so he wouldn't be able to log in. He told me how he had been missing his studies and other stuffs just because of the addiction to Orkut. If a kid his age can be so mature…why cant I.
Orkut or any other social networking site doesnt achieve anything. Its just another "drug" pushed down the young generation. I could be doing so many kewl things rather than resting on my arse looking at shit scraps.
I am done…nd I am happy.

A truly fulfilling experience for human and dog partnerships, increasing fitness and bond together.
As seen in ......
Great for building confidence in rescue dogs and new associations for those with on-lead aggression
increasing fitness for Agility
We are fully certified Canicross trainers with
As a youngster I was a keen Cross Country runner, making it to the Nationals when I was 14... then life happened... years later I have found the enthusiasm for running again and have been gradually building up my fitness. I thank my Dog for getting me back to a healthier lifestyle. Canicross is a combination of both of my passions, the name coming from the two words Canine and Cross Country.
It was first introduced to the UK in 2000. Since the sport was first launched, the activity has seen thousands of dog enthusiasts taking to the great outdoors to participate.
It is a brand new way to become healthier and fitter together and is another opportunity to spend time bonding with your dog and to make new friends along the way.
To take part in Canicross you do not need experience in running, as a group we will start off doing interval training and gradually building this into a run.
Everyone is welcome no matter what your fitness level and you will notice improvements pretty quickly.
What is Canicross?
It's cross country with your canine - teaming up with your best friend and doing what they adore, running!
You will never find another running partner who gives you more motivation than your dog. Any breed of dog can participate in Canicross. All dogs love to run and tapping into their natural instinct means Canicross requires very little training.
Benefits of Canicross
Not only will you foster a stronger bond with your dog there are several other benefits, altering on several levels for both you and your dog, including:
Improved health and fitness = Builds stamina, strength and endurance.
More energy = Better nights sleep.
Slows the aging process = Live longer. (Did you know a lean dog lives, on average, up to two years longer than an overweight dog).
Healthy appetite = Healthier Dog.
More responsive with commands and other training = Well behaved.
Less aggressive due to socialising with other dogs = Less stress for you and your dog!
Less destructive as Canicross relieves boredom = House remains in tact
For health benefits, you should aim for 30 minutes exercise five times a week where your heart rate is increased. Please note: depending on your dogs breed some may require more. Canicross can help you achieve a healthier dog, and why not get the whole family involved; children, parents and grandparents.
Locations of Canicross
You and your dog will have an enjoyable run as all routes are pre-planned by our trial-runners on well-defined tracks.
For your safety, take advice on a pair of running shoes with good traction and support. The human participant wears a waist belt that attaches via a bungee line to the dogs harness. These will be supplied and available to purchase from Muddy Mutleys.
Whilst taking part in such challenges it is imperative that nutrition and hydration is adopted to safeguard your best friend.
Dogs must be over one year old to participate.

Dental care gets magic touch at Murrayville-Woodson
Samantha McDaniel-Ogletree | Journal-Courier
It was a classic battle of good versus evil on Thursday at Murrayville-Woodson Elementary School as the Tooth Wizard battled PlaqueMan in a bid to save students' teeth.
Kindergarten through third-grade students learned about the importance of proper dental care — including brushing their teeth, flossing and using mouth wash — as the Tooth Wizard from Delta Dental used those tools to defeat PlaqueMan in the Land of Smiles.
Some of the students in the audience during the program had a chance — with the Tooth Wizard's help — to remove plaque from a giant mouth.
While PlaqueMan attempted to sabotage the freshly clean mouth, the Tooth Wizard told the children how to use good oral hygiene and dentist visits to prevent plaque from covering their own teeth.
Third-grader David Andrews said he liked how the program explained dental care in a fun way.
"I like where PlaqueMan ran out with the bucket of mouthwash on his head," David said.
Second-grade Jaelie Harp said she was going to try to take better care of her teeth.
"If you don't brush, you can get plaque and cavities and that's gross," Jaelie said. " I want to do what they told us to do."
David said he learned a lot about proper oral hygiene.
"You're supposed to brush two times a day, at least, to take care of your teeth," he said. "If you don't you get the weird sticky … stuff made by sugar."
The Tooth Wizard said he wanted students to know what to do to defeat their own PlaqueMan.
"Our ultimate goal is to help children learn the importance of taking care of their teeth," the Tooth Wizard said. "We want them to go home and know what to do and have the tools to do it."
Each student was given a goodie bag with a toothbrush, mouthwash and toothpaste before they went home.
Principal Emily English said Thursday's show was an extension of a program the school already has with Delta Dental, which comes into the school twice a year to provide dental check-ups.
"I think this is a good reminder on dental hygiene and oral health," English said. " We want them to learn the importance of taking care of their body and getting check-ups."
This is the first year Murrayville-Woods Elementary School has hosted the Land of Smiles program.
"We keep finding programs that reiterate the lessons we are trying to teach in the classrooms," English said.

text: > From: "David P. Reed" <dpreed at reed.com> > If I look at Wikipedia, for example, at the definition of congestion > collapse there, it says that CC is characterized by large buffering > delays AND lost packets. I was responsible for the original version of that page, so any faults in it can probably be laid at my door... :-) When writing it, I was probably thinking of the examples of congestive collapse I had seen (e.g. the ARPANet TCP email meltdown, TFTP Sorcerer's Apprentice Syndrome, etc) in which high packet drop rates were seen. Of course, that was 'back in the day', when routers had a _lot_ less buffering than they do now, so the symptoms naturally differed somewhat. > should this phenomenon be included in "congestion collapse" (I believe > so), or should we invent a new more specific name (Buffer Madness?). Both, I think. In general terms, they are both examples of the same basic concept; people give the network a lot more traffic than it can handle, and as a result things turn to total alimentary byproduct. To me, the term 'congestive collapse' is a perfect term for that general situation, because the network is, well, congested; so congested it effectively ceases to function. (Ceases to function effectively?) Congestion + failure -> congestive collapse. (Somehow 'congestive failure' doesn't have the same ring - probably the alliteration.) At the same time, they are interestingly different (in terms of the symptoms), so this subvariant (which we will probably be seeing more of, until the lessons gets into the global conciousness) could probably use a specific term. 'Buffer Madness' sounds good to me; another possibility is some term related to blockage of the alimentary canal, where stuff just keeps building up - but my brain won't cough up, right at this moment, the term I'm thinking of.

Pedestrian killed in Leesburg hit-and-run crash identified
Charges pending for 88-year-old driver
LEESBURG, Fla. – The pedestrian who was struck and killed by a vehicle in a hit-and-run crash on U.S. Route 27 in Leesburg has been identified.
The crash was reported at U.S. Route 27 and Arlington Ridge Boulevard just before 9:30 a.m. Wednesday morning.
The Florida Highway Patrol said 88-year-old William Thomas was driving a Hyundai Touring when he struck Scott Parrish, 58, of Leesburg, on the east shoulder of U.S. Route 27 and continued to drive away.
Parrish was walking to work at the Winn Dixie supermarket, according to investigators.
Leesburg police stopped the driver 5 miles north of the crash. Troopers are now interviewing the driver.
"He's just one of those guys that was always happy," said John Voss, owner of Mama's Pizzeria, which is right next to the supermarket. "I know that every time he walks, he always walks about 4 feet into the grass, away from the shoulder," Voss said.
The northbound lanes of U.S. Route 27 were shut down as the investigation continued. Leesburg police are asking drivers to avoid the area and use alternate routes if possible.
Florida Highway Patrol is investigating, and charges are pending.
No other details were immediately available.

this weekend we celebrated our sweet Abigail's birthday.
she is our sweet. affectionate. loving. BUSY. full of energy & kisses & crazy ideas and tenderness.
& of course, i HAVE to get crafty. so i pulled out boxes of paper, ribbon, scissors, buttons, felt & more to pull together some ideas!
we made some crowns, painted them & left out supplies for her Princess friends to decorate at the party:
then i had a few sweet little red paper lanterns from my son's birthday, so after attempting a few tutorials, i ended up doing my OWN! yep, original to me & hopefully to you too! 😉
i cut circles out of about 4 sheets of felt and lined the lantern using a glue gun from top to bottom, overlapping all the way down!
i love the texture they added to our photos from having them placed around our home…
lastly, all little girls need wants. so for $1/4, we grabbed a few packs from the Target party section and added some washi tape, ribbon & baker's twine. the kids LOVED them!
& just for fun — here is Abigail celebrating her birthday with a very special Texas sized cupcake & a few photos of our family from this weekend:

Most lawyers who have been handling divorces for any length of time have clients report an almost predictable list of threats from their spouses.
Since divorcing parties generally have a limited understanding of the process, they take these threats literally and immediately call their attorneys to report them, thereby increasing their fees and their anxiety level. Most threats are baseless and more a result of fear, bullying or desperation. Often, merely knowing that you are not the first one to hear these threats can have a calming effect.
6. "I'll hide all of the money and you won't get a nickel."
This is harder than it sounds. It is difficult to move money around without there being a paper record of it. If your attorney does adequate discovery, she should be able to spot any significant transfers of funds from one account to another. In cases where such a threat is likely to be credible, it is important to get as many records from the financial institutions themselves as possible, as you don't want to be relying on what your spouse is giving you.
It may be necessary to involve a forensic accountant to assist in reviewing the records and searching for diverted assets. If the party is self-employed, then the search gets more difficult and more expensive. Although it is possible to hide assets, it is not as easy as most people believe.
7. "I'll start a new family and they will be my priority."
So what? The court will require that your spouse take care of the financial needs of the prior family before taking the needs of a new family into account. If they has a child with a new spouse, then s/he will be entitled to a hardship deduction in the child support calculation, but that usually doesn't have a large impact on support.
8. "I'm kicking you out of MY house."
Maybe, but not right away. First, whose house is it? If both names are on the deed, you have an equal right to possession of it. Generally, you cannot be forced to leave unless you have committed domestic violence. If it truly is his (or her) house, then at the end of the case you will be required to leave. Having said that, you may want to leave sooner. Who wants to live with someone that they are divorcing?
9. "I've got someone new and s/he is better/younger/prettier than you."
This is designed to simply be hurtful. The retort may simply be, "Perhaps, but they don't really know you yet."
10. "Your attorney is unscrupulous and is taking you to the cleaners."
This is an attempt to "divide and conquer." Most attorneys are acutely aware of the size of their bills and are not anxious to see them get out of hand. It is much easier for them to collect small bills than large ones. If your spouse thinks that your attorney is really a gem, then perhaps s/he isn't representing you as vigorously as is warranted.
11. "Unless you do things my way, you won't get a dime."
This is a threat made by someone who is used to being in charge. You don't have to do it his or her way. That's why you have an attorney to represent your interests. The law states what you are entitled to. If your soon to be ex-spouse can't get used to the idea that they are no longer in charge of your affairs, that's a personal problem.
12. "I'll quit my job before I pay you a dime."
Although support is usually awarded based on actual current earnings, if the Court believes that one party is earning less than his or her capacity, it may use earning ability. In this situation, the paying party may be ordered to pay higher support (or the receiving party get less support) than would be warranted based upon his or her current circumstances. These are often credibility issues so it is best if you can get a witness to the threats.
13. "When the judge sees my expenses, you'll get less (or I'll get more) support than the guideline amount."
Perhaps, but unlikely. Judges are used to making orders that leave both parties unable to meet their stated expenses. Thus, unless there is a very compelling expense, such as unusual medical expenses, mortgage or private school expenses, the court is just going to apportion the available income equitably between the parties and let them get by as best they can.
14. "I'll consider reconciling with you if you sign this agreement."
If your spouse wants to reconcile, why do you need a property agreement? In all likelihood, it is simply an artifice to get you to make a concession that you shouldn't make and shortly after signing it they will be gone again. Be extremely cautious of such devices.
While most such threats can be ignored, you may want to keep a log of the dates, times and context within which the threats were made. If you think that a threat is serious, then you should contact your attorney immediately. Otherwise, simply keep your log and periodically share it with your attorney. Take solace in the knowledge that the fact that your spouse feels the need to make these sorts of threats is usually because she or he is frightened and no longer feels in control.
* This list is based in part on one drafted many years ago by Barbara DiFranza, Esq., CFLS, Reno, NV.
Having said that, on rare occasions a threat will turn out to be real. So while it is easy to say that they are common, whether to give them any weight depends upon the actual circumstances of your case. If in doubt, call 911.
The following is a list of common threats that attorneys often hear and to which they generally pay little attention. Most of these threats are just that – threats born of anger and frustration. In some cases it is definitely necessary to get the assistance of private attorneys and/or the District Attorney.
1. "When I tell them __[X]___, you'll never get the kids."
X can be an affair, the fact that you are seeing an analyst, a DUI, or some other transgression. Although X may have been painful to you and/or your spouse, unless it directly impacts the best interests of the children, it's doubtful that it will be given any significant weight by the custody evaluator or the judge.
2. "You'll never see the children again."
Sorry, that's not the way it works. When custodial parents don't want to share the children, the courts have lots of weapons available to convince them to cooperate. These include sanctions and/or a change of custody. Having said that, sometimes a parent will disappear with the children. If a parent does this, you must immediately see a lawyer to get the appropriate court orders and file police reports. It will be necessary to get both state and federal arrest warrants. This is relatively rare, but it does happen.
3. "I'll take the children and move back to Nebraska."
This one may be true, although it is not automatic. The custodial parent has a right to move the children pretty much anywhere they choose, even if it interferes with the noncustodial parent's visitation rights. Unless the noncustodial can show either that the move will cause some detriment to the children or that the moving parent's purpose is to deprive the noncustodial parent of visitation, the courts will not interfere. The noncustodial parent's remedies are more extensive visitation during vacation periods and perhaps an adjustment in support due to the costs of travel.
4. "If you ask for a share of my property [or support, or whatever], I'll ask for custody and take the children away from you."
Go ahead and try. Custody determinations are made based upon what is in the best interests of the child. In making this determination, mediators and judges put more weight on established patterns of conduct than they do on expressed intentions. Depending on the age of the child, each parent is entitled to a 50% custody "time share" of the child. If there was substantiated domestic abuse in the past, the abusive parent may have their time with the kids severly limited.
5. "You'll end up in the street with nothing."
No. You will end up with half of the community property and, if appropriate, spousal and/or child support for an appropriate period of time. The spouse making the threat may not want to give you your share of the property and support, but your attorney can request that the court make orders insuring that the property is equally divided and that support is paid. You can also seek the assistance of the Department of Child Support Services in your county.
6. "You'll never get any of my pension."
Although pensions are very emotional assets for many people, in the final analysis, they are just another type of property that must be considered and divided in the divorce. The simple answer is that it is community property and you deserve your share.
Although it
be possible for the employee to keep his or her pension intact, it will require that the other spouse receive other property of equal value. In many marriages, the pension and the equity in the house are the two most valuable assets; if the employee-spouse wants to keep their pension, the other spouse may end up with the house.

by Shelley Hitz
I've become overwhelmed. Trying to do too much.
It's an unending cycle that I tend to struggle with.
I do too much, so I set boundaries and do less. But, then it seems like the lurking monster grows again into something unmanageable again and I repeat the cycle all over again. Okay, I'm probably being overly dramatic here. But, this is something I struggle with.
As I was working through some of my emotions this morning in my journal, here is what I wrote...
"I feel loaded down and I know this isn't from you Lord. As I was thinking about my time and my day and all I wanted to do, it felt overwhelming. But, when I thought about You and how You are able to lead me through my day most effectively, I began to relax. You know what the girls that contact me through my website need and you are able to provide it! It doesn't have to come through me! Praise God for that!
I don't have to carry around the burden of feeling responsible for them, all I need to do is listen to You. What a paradigm shift! A change in perspective! I'm not the one ultimately responsible. You will show me the way to go.
It's so easy for me to become over committed. To lose balance. And the first thing that happens is my connection with You, God, begins to fade. It gets disrupted. Kind of like bad cell phone coverage. It's hard to hear Your voice, our 'calls' get dropped and my 'battery' runs low.
It's time to plug in and find the place where my connection with You is the strongest. For me, it's not in a flurry of activity, but in stillness. Not in reading, but in listening. Sometimes just sitting in silence or listening to instrumental worship music.
I am not alone. My Father is always with me. He will strengthen me and uphold me. He will take me by the hand and show me which way to go."
I felt a burden lift. I shed a few tears. And I sensed God saying to me, "Ask me first before diving into something."
Sounds so easy. Common sense, right? But, so often I don't practice it. Instead I just charge right in without even asking God.
A lesson I learned from Lauren...
Recently my sister was in town and I told my 3 year old niece, Lauren, that I was going to spend the night and have a sleepover with them at Grammie's house. She looked over at her mom and said, "Mom, is it okay if Aunt Shelley comes over for a sleepover?"
I couldn't help but smile. Of course it was okay. But, I loved the innocence displayed in her question. I loved the fact that she has learned to ask her mom and dad first.
I want to see more of that kind of attitude in me....asking my Heavenly Father, "Is this okay with you?" "What do you have for me today?"
And then take the time to actually listen.
That's sometimes the hardest part.
Psalm 63:8
My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 48:17
This is what the LORD says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.
Isaiah 30:21
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it."

Genre - Hard Rock / Alternative / Punk
Label - Self Released
Track listing:
01 - White Powder
02 - Ripe For Grieving
03 - Four Walls
Hung like jack were formed back in 2007.in Darlington.(UK), when Tim Smith (Guitars) met up with J Tutin (Vocals) and Hakim (Bass)..The band advertised for a drummer and up steps Denz, hitting the sweet spot with his hard hitting beats and versatility. Four e.p's and a live disc."Arrested By Midnight" later the band split for a short period whilst the band members went their separate ways, that was up until around six months ago when they re-formed and recorded this their latest e.p. titled "White Powder".
Considering that Denz recently claimed that this e.p. was recorded very quickly and on a very limited budget its out standing. Title track white Powder starts things off in a high octane punk / alternative rock fused fashion. You can definitely hear the punk influences, and at a little under two minutes in length the song really does fly by, but the production is quite polished and really brings out the quality of both the performance and songwriting. A great start.
Next up is Ripe For Grieving, the longest of the three tracks on offer here, with a slightly slower tempo and some great atmospheric guitar work. Another great song that at times brings Nick Parsons Supercharger (UK) and Whatever to mind. Again a really great song.
Four Walls closes things out and its another really solid song.
In short the band sound really tight all over this Ep, yet fluid and relaxed enough to really capture that live feeling. All three songs are really solid, and if their strength and quality are anything to go by then I really cant wait for the album!
Personally I'm really glad these guys chose to reform, otherwise I would have sadly missed them, now to track down their back catalogue!
Highly Recommended
Rating - 10/10

"Those European bastards are trying to give us the bum's rush! It's all a plot to try and stop us from leaving the EU!" screams top Leave campaigner and Tory MP Clive Snivers, after learning that most of the wood pulp used in the production of the UK's toilet rolls is imported from Sweden. "They know that our British Blitz spirit will help us withstand food and medicine shortages in the event of a 'No Deal' Brexit, but the bastards know that even the most stoic Britons are liable to crack if denied the ability to wipe their arses properly!" The possibility that toilet paper production could be highly vulnerable to any transport chaos caused by a 'No Deal' Brexit has been raised by leading Remain campaigner and Labour MP Malcolm Boggs. "I've already seen people panic buying the stuff in my local supermarket," Boggs told The Sleaze. "They had three or four trolleys at a time, all packed full of family-sized packs of toilet rolls. Not the cheap stuff, either – this was quilted three-ply stuff. Either they are buying it to stack up in their 'Brexit Bunkers' or they've got a life-threatening dose of the shits!"
The Labour MP has expressed his fear that a post 'No Deal' Brexit shortage of toilet paper could lead to serious civil unrest across the UK. "I worry that those who haven't stockpiled toilet rolls or without the financial means to access black market supplies might well be forced into drastic action. They might become sufficiently desperate to try using such other household items as scouring pads or wire wool to wipe themselves instead – with dire consequences," he muses. "If anything is likely to cause rioting, it is an epidemic of sore arses rubbed raw by caustic toilet tissue substitutes." He also highlighted the additional strain that badly bleeding bottoms could put on the National Health Service. "Casualty departments could be overwhelmed," he speculates. "The situation would be aggravated by the fact that the world's best jacksie consultants come from Eastern Europe and, with Brexit pending, many have already left the NHS and returned home!" Bogg believes that the government might be forced to deploy troops to prevent mobs of toilet brush wielding citizens from storming Downing Street as they protest the treatment of their behinds, post-Brexit. "I don't know about you, but I find it deeply disturbing that this is where we are – contemplating not being able to wipe our arses properly after 29 March," he opines. "We're facing the prospect of martial law being imposed after a possible 'No Deal' Brexit if serious civil unrest breaks out as a result of the toilet paper shortages. Once again, the government's incompetence and lack of preparation is taking us to the brink of disaster!"
The government has responded by claiming that it has made preparations for a possible post-Brexit toilet paper shortage. "We have contingency plans to set up distribution centres from which toilet paper from government stocks will be made available to the public," junior Brexit minister Alex Ballcock told the Commons in response to a question from Boggs. "Obviously, it will have to be rationed: one roll per household per fortnight. We'll be issuing strict guidelines on how many sheets should be used per dump." Boggs remains unimpressed by the government's proposals. "For God's sake, that government issue toilet paper is totally inadequate," he fumes. "It's that horrible shiny stuff you find in school and museum toilets. Quite frankly, you might as well be wiping yourself with a brillo pad as use that stuff. Really, it offers no proper solution to the problem." All the distribution of rationed stocks of government issue toilet paper would achieve, post-Brexit, would be to further fuel the black market in proper toilet paper, forcing its price ever higher.
"Sheets of three ply toilet paper could become the new currency," says noted Brexit 'Prepper' Ralph Thobb, who admits that he already has a huge stock of toilet paper stashed away in his 'Brexit Bunker'. "Just like cigarettes in prisons, toilet paper could become a means of exchange: five sheets, say, could buy you a tin of soup after Brexit. Who knows, perhaps even the colour might affect its value, according to the bathroom décor of the person selling the soup or other commodities." There are, of course, other alternatives to toilet paper, as Thobb explains. "If you haven't already stockpiled the stuff in your Brexit Bunker, I'd advise that you stop putting all those old newspapers out for recycling," he says. "They could be like gold dust post-Brexit – cut them up into toilet-paper sized squares and you'll find yourself sitting on the hottest commodity in Britain. People will be desperate to get their hands (not to mention arses) on your old newspapers. You could charge what you liked. Or, more likely post Brexit, barter them for vital tinned foods, although, obviously, a square of newspaper wouldn't be as valuable as a sheet of real toilet paper. Ten squares to the soup tin, perhaps."
Bogg has concerns that the use of newspaper as a toilet paper substitute could have dire consequences. "Even if people do use the old newspapers instead of the real thing, it could still cause problems, as, if the newsprint rubs off, they could find themselves with blackened backsides – which could cause race riots amongst the white supremacists," he speculates. "I mean, just imagine the reaction of some hardened racist when they discover that their bum is now black? They'd probably start by spanking their own arses in order to punish the 'black bastards', before blaming political correctness imposed by the government and going onto the streets to protest." Tory MP Snivers, however, sees a more positive side to using newspapers as toilet paper. "And to think, there were all those fools saying that print media was dead!" he chuckles. "Perhaps the one good thing to come out of Brexit will a resurgence of popularity for newspapers. Although not necessarily for their news content. Obviously." Meanwhile, European Council President Donald Tusk has expressed the opinion that: "If only the British had more wholeheartedly embraced European values when they had the chance by adopting the bidet, then they wouldn't be facing revolution post-Brexit, would they?" A remark which has left Snivers and his fellow Brexiteers furious. "It just goes to prove that the threat to our toilet paper is part of an EU plot to force us into becoming more 'European'," he fulminates. "By depriving us of it, they hope to force us into using that fiendish device the bidet which, in turn, will put us into a 'continental' mindset and susceptible to arguments to reverse the referendum result. The bastards!"

Ever Go Salsa Dancing with a Bunch of Firemen?
Saturday, March 3, 2018 at La Costa Restaurant in La Paz is your chance to salsa dance or watch the Hot Cuban Salsa band do a benefit party for the firemen of La Paz. The Club Rotario Bahia de La Paz would like to raise funds for a third shipment of much needed free equipment from Global Fire Canada to La Paz.
Tickets cost only 150 pesos.
This program has been very successful. In the last two years, two shipments of goods have arrived in La Paz. The first was 155 firemen's turnout uniforms. These are what a fireperson wears when they enter a burning building.
The second shipment this year was 41 air tanks, masks, regulators, hoses, backpacks and spare parts that firepersons wear when searching for victims inside an engulfed building. The equipment has been in excellent condition and was valued at about $140,000 US. The cost of each shipment was about $3,000 US.
We wish to thank people like Dave Calhoun and John Berg who donated to the shipping costs in the prior two years and helped make this happen.
There will be many young firemen at the event with their families, demonstrating the equipment.
For tickets call Bob Walker 612 104 2072 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. He will happily deliver to a convenient place for you. And if you would like to bring some friends, we can reserve you a table when you buy your tickets. If you have ever wondered how to support a worthwhile group in our community, here is your chance.

I started screaming in the middle of an exquisite Sunday brunch at the Rome Hilton Cavalieri. What once was a large glass of red wine was now dripping down my shirt and on to my jeans. The pristine white tablecloth was splattered with red drops, and my outstanding dessert, which I had so excitedly photographed a moment earlier, had turned into a soggy plate of wine-drenched delicacies.
No, it was not an Italian lovers spat. Rather, my friend Elena had tripped over the tablecloth. Moments earlier, she had informed the wait staff that the tablecloths in the restaurant were too long. I laughed when she said, "Oh, this would be a scene right out of the movies. Can you just see me tripping and flying across the gorgeous white floor?"
Kosher restaurant in the ghetto in Rome
Elena works in film in Rome, so nothing is impossible. Her world is filled with creativity and excitement. I just was not expecting to be drenched in drama.
Soaked, I started laughing. Luckily, I had a spa treatment booked at the Cavalieri Grand Spa. It's one way to relive the ancient Roman rituals of relaxation and rejuvenation. The spa, with a host of luxurious treatments as well as Turkish baths and four swimming pools, is rated as one of the top in Europe.
Great Synagogue in Rome, a must visit- be sure to see the museum downstairs.
Rome is romantic, period. You can travel solo or with friends or loved ones, and the experience is second to none. There are the typical places that every tourist visits on a trip to Rome: the Colesseum, the Forum, the Vatican, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and Piazza Navona. While these are must-see places, there are hidden gems waiting to be discovered, and having my friend Elena, who is a local, gave me a little extra insight. The options for discovery are endless, especially if you like to wander. There is magic at every corner.
The first Jewish people arrived in Rome in 161 BCE. They were ambassadors of Judah Maccabi and came to ask for Roman protection against Antiochus IV. Soon after, many Jewish people moved to Rome, as it was a centre for trade. Because the Temple was still in existence, Jews brought with them rituals and traditions that were used in Jerusalem, and many settled in an area called Trastevere.
Today Trastevere, with its winding cobblestone streets, is a haven for photo shoots. The area is filled with bars and restaurants. Make sure to stop in any of the local bakeries, which are not hard to find. Simply follow your nose, as just outside the shops, the scents are intoxicating and inviting.
One of the most interesting shops is at 34 Vicolo del Cedro. An artist named Mohssen Kasirossafar has a musical instrument store there. He carves lutes and a variety of guitar-like instruments. The shop is a throwback in time, filled with his extraordinary carvings as well as his breathtaking modern photographs of Rome.
Trastevere is a 10-minute walk from the Great Synagogue. The synagogue was rebuilt in 1904, and in a city filled with remarkable buildings and design, the synagogue claims a unique design. It boasts an aluminum square dome that makes it easy to find from a distance. When you leave Trastevere, you can get to the synagogue by walking across one of the bridges.
Inside the synagogue is the Jewish Museum of Rome, where the objects of the previous five synagogues that existed in Rome are exhibited.
The Great Synagogue has had its share of good and bad times. After a Simchat Torah celebration in 1982, there was a terrorist attack in which 45 people were injured and a two-year-old child was killed. After the attack, the Italian government implemented security measures that exists.
On a happier note, in 1986 Pope John Paul II visited and prayed with the Chief Rabbi of Rome at the Great Synagogue. This event marked the first known visit by a pope to a synagogue since the early history of the Roman Catholic Church.
A step away is the heart of the ghetto, filled with shops and restaurants. Saray Judaica is a favourite of mine. Be sure to check out the dazzling mezuzahs made of Venetian glass if you go.
Also, while fabulous food in Italy is nothing surprising, the kosher Taverna del Ghetto outdoes itself. Even local Romans – including my friend Elena and her crowd – couldn't stop raving about the food, deeming it of "high quality" and utterly delicious. Be sure to indulge in the yummy fried artichoke and try the meat-filled ravioli. Kosher wine at its finest is found here, too. And make sure to save room for the mouthwatering pareve desserts.
One of the most romantic hotels in Rome is the Hotel Hassler. It overlooks the Spanish Steps – a mix of curves, straight flights, vistas and terraces – and is opulent, seducing the senses. Many of the suites truly boast rooms with a view, and their décor inspires love, which comes as no surprise in one of the most sensual cities in the world. The hotel even has a signature fragrance.
Perhaps one of the best places to please your palate is by having dinner or a drink at Imàgo at the top of the Hassler Hotel. Elena and I went at sunset so we could watch nature paint the Roman sky pink, while we enjoyed glasses of red wine. The staff will come over to your table with a map of the sights and point them out. It's a perfect place to see a stunning view of Rome.
Another outstanding hotel is the Westin Excelsior. The rooms are open and spacious, and decorated to make you feel like you are in a palace. Most importantly, the beds are extremely comfortable.
The Westin Excelsior is located right next to the American Embassy. (I could see the embassy's beautiful rooftop garden from my room.) It's also on a street filled with great shopping, and it also happens to be in the neighbourhood of the Borghese Gardens. An interesting way to see the gardens is on horseback. Rides are offered by a nearby stable.
Villa Borghese is one of the largest public parks in Rome, and it has museums, a theatre, a lake and a winter ice-skating rink, as well as numerous fountains. It also boasts magnificent views of Rome, both in the garden and in the Borghese Gallery. The gallery is spectacular in terms of its own décor and the fabulous art collection inside that includes greats such as Bernini, Caravaggio, Titan and Raphael.
One of the most unusual and innovative places I found in Rome is Palazzo Valentini. I would not have found it but for a lovely Canadian couple I met walking down the street, who not only mentioned it to me, but walked 15 minutes out of their way to take me to there.
Palazzo Valentini is a true treasure. It's made up of two patrician villas – 20,000 square feet of space in all – that were unearthed and brought to life through an on-site multimedia reconstruction that takes you back to the heart of ancient Roman life.
The walls, rooms, mosaics, baths, salons, décor, kitchens and furniture are all recreated in a journey through time, mixing ancient with modern technology.
In this multimedia exhibit, in which antiquity meets innovation, you walk in the path of the ancient Romans. One room brought me back to the future. It was the private thermal bath area where we walked over an immense glass floor.
It brought me full circle to the Cavalieri Grand Spa. In both ancient and modern Rome, enjoying the best is a way of life, whether with wine or water. Sometimes a refreshing bath of both is the happiest way to go! Happy travels!

So far so good, the mod loads with Zandronum. However, because I have both Doom 1 and Doom 2 installed via Steam, I get the IWAD selection menu whenever Zandronum opens.
Code: Select all
@echo off
start zandronum.exe -file BD21RC7.pk3
Is there a way to bypass this menu and load a specific IWAD through the .bat file? Right now I have a desktop shortcut pointing to the bat file with a fancy Brutal Doom icon, and I was hoping to have separate bat files/shortcuts for each version of Doom (as well as any mods that only work in a specific version of Doom).
If it helps, I have Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom, and Master Levels for Doom 2, all installed via Steam.
