And the Opposition is not keeping mum over it (in so far as DAP is concerned). It's not a new issue - but those who hold the reins of the media in our country are less benign than their Singaporean counterparts.

in politics, the agenda is also set by the minority vocals. they called the shot and drown out the views of the moderate and silent majorities.
it happens everywhere.
DAP and perhaps Kedilan may be the only two voices in the wilderness. Gerakan used to be quite vocal during the days of Tan Chee Khoon. Now like a graveyard.

Usher is moving on and quick. He's got a new chick, a new album coming out and a new "Got Milk" ad. Boy don't waste no time. Damn Tameka, you better get on your game.
He may be a multi-platinum artist, but as far as Usher is concerned, he hasn't truly arrived until now. To be an icon in Hollywood, "You've got to do things like win Oscars and Grammys," he says, "but you're nothing if you don't have a milk ad!"
The R&B star, 30, tells PEOPLE his shoot for the Body By Milk campaign was "a lot of fun," adding with a grin that his ad "makes me look taller." The shoot was held in Las Vegas and coincided with recording for his new album where he says, "I would throw on a suit to go to the studio, to get in the mood."
Due in October, the as-yet-unnamed album – the working title Monster was leaked, he says – will be "romantic at times," and grittier at other times.
Guess that he has to grind a little harder these days since he's gonna be coughin' up major loot for child support.

The State of Illinois has declared November 15, 2014, School Board Member Day. District 300 would like to thank our board members for their dedication and contributions to our district, our schools, and our students.
Illinois school board members serve their communities without monetary compensation. It is a board member's passion for public education that drives his or her tireless dedication.
Dear Parents, Students, Staff, and Community Members:
Matthew Bishop, the 7th Grade Band Director at Dundee Middle School, has finished a video documenting this year's Midnight Mile.
The Midnight Mile is a 24-hour relay run challenge where Dundee Middle School students and parents are grouped into teams, with each running a one-mile leg of a continuous relay for 24 consecutive hours. Although runners may run as fast or slowly as they would like, walking is not permitted during the Midnight Mile.
In November, December and January, a variety of activities are planned to begin the transition from middle school to high school. Our goal is to make the transition as seamless as possible. Please review the resources on this page for more information.
Please click on the links below for an overview of transition activities.
Parents and students are invited to learn more about high school.
Date: Monday, December 8, 2014
Dundee-Crown High School6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Hampshire High School6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Jacobs High School6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
District 300 is extremely proud to announce Dundee-Crown English Teacher, Alyssa Bichler, as the subject of the new Educator Spotlight Series.
The Educator Spotlight Series showcases innovative educators who go above and beyond the traditional call of duty, not only to educate students, but to inspire them, to dare them to dream big, and to empower them with the tools to succeed in the classroom and flourish in the workplace, and build positive relationships.
Over 40 Jacobs High School students enrolled in Mr. Steven Stunkenberg's AP and Honors government courses demonstrated their commitment to education by attending a legislative forum hosted by State Representative Mike Tryon and State Senator Karen McConnaughay on October 30 at the Jacobs High School Auditorium.
Assistant Village Manager of Carpentersville, Joe Wade, made a surprise visit to Lakewood School on October 29 to present Laura Factly with the Village of Carpentersville's 2014 Community Service Award.
The Community Service Award, sponsored by the Northern Kane County Chamber of Commerce, recognizes an individual who has gone above and beyond to give back to the community.
District 300 Paraeducators are proud to host their 5th annual Veterans Day collection for military men and women.
All donations support OSOT.il (Operation Support Our Troops, Illinois) and the soldiers who have personally requested the items mentioned in this year's collection drive.
Today through November 13, each school will collect different items, including: snacks, socks, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, beef jerky, and deodorant.
Donations can be delivered to the Main Office of each building or sent with a student.

St. Patrick's Day bundle is semi-blind -- but don't worry, it's more like one of those trips to the eye doctor where you leave wearing giant, ugly, flimsy plastic sunglasses and are told to not look directly at the sun for the afternoon. It gets better, is what we're saying.
Indie Royale has opened pre-orders, at a $4 minimum, for four slightly mysterious titles in its St. Patrick's Day bundle, the actual day of which is Saturday, March 17. If you plan on being even a tad sober any time on Saturday, the games are teased as follows:
"An explosive FPS with a future-leaning setting," "next up the flagpole is a jaunty Windows and Mac adventure game," "a brainy Steam-enabled Windows and Mac title 'dispensing' RTS action," "an acclaimed satirical platformer, plus a bonus DRM-free Windows RPG overhead shooter from the same creator."
Pre-orders and those who pay over the minimum once the bundle is released will get O.S.T.: Original Soundtrack from Daniel Capo.

General Dynamics NASSCO hold keel laying ceremony in its San Diego faciltiy for the future 'USNS John Glenn' (MLP 2).
Delivery of this second MLP ship is scheduled for first quarter 2014, and is to be named John Glenn, in honor of John Herschel Glenn, Jr., the former U.S. Marine Corps pilot, astronaut and U.S. senator who was the first American to orbit the Earth and the third American in space.
Ms. Lyn Glenn, daughter of John Herschel Glenn, Jr., and Mrs. Helen L. Toolan, wife of Lieutenant General John A. Toolan, Jr., Commanding General, I Marine Expeditionary Force, were the honorees for the ceremony, validating the MLP ship's keel by welding their initials onto a steel plate.
The MLP is a flexible platform that will provide capability for large scale logistics movements such as the transfer of vehicles and equipment from sea to shore. It will significantly reduce dependency on foreign ports and provide support in the absence of any port, making it especially useful during disaster response and for supporting Marines once they are ashore. The MLP in its basic form possesses a core capability set that supports a vehicle staging area, sideport ramp, large mooring fenders and up to three landing craft air cushioned vessel (LCAC) lanes.
"Laying the keel of this second Mobile Landing Platform and finishing construction of the first ship are the latest milestones in this successful shipbuilding program," said Fred Harris, president of General Dynamics NASSCO. "These events serve as evidence of the NASSCO team building and delivering MLP ships efficiently, in support of U.S. Navy efforts to maintain a forward presence."

Delivering the news by phone
Relevant offers
The Timaru Herald is delivered in a variety of formats in this modern age, but not many people will realise one method is by telephone.
Every day in South Canterbury, Blind Foundation volunteers record the newspaper via telephone.
Volunteer Colin Scarsbrook is one of the organisers for this activity, and has read for the vision impaired for the past 10 years.
"It's simple, I get up and bring in my paper then I get back into bed. There are not many volunteer jobs you can do lying in bed and bring so much pleasure to so many people."
He said there were 18 volunteers in South Canterbury who take turns recording different sections of the paper.
Scarsbrook said he is one of about four who had been volunteering for the organisation since the inception of the service in South Canterbury.
He said the volunteers had three roles which needed to be fulfilled.
One read births, deaths and marriages, another local news and the editorial, and a third read letters to the editor, he said.
"Not many letters to the editor at the moment. Are people not writing as much as they used to?
He understood that 23 people accessed the paper by the telephone information system (TIS).
"One person reading affects 23 people. "Isn't that great," he said.
Scarsbrook said they can access TIS at all times of the day.
He said there was not much training required to be a volunteer, he had taken a couple of ladies through the process over the phone and had not even met them.
Scarsbrook said he really enjoyed being able to provide the service to those who could not see.
"God hope neither you nor I can't ever read the newspaper," he said.

The book, "Boss Rove: Inside Karl Rove's Secret Kingdom of Power," tracks Rove's reinvention to become the most powerful political operative in America. Unger asked Rove about his role in the GOP primaries, prompting an angry reaction that saw Rove...August 31, 2012 | Story

- One unusual speech at the closing night of the Republican National Convention Thursday generated so much attention that it nearly threatened to overshadow Romney's acceptance of the presidential nomination. The actor Clint Eastwood, known for his character Dirty Harry and his famous line, "Go ahead, make my day," gave a rambling, 11-minute address that appeared to be completely unscripted. During the speech, the 82-year-old...August 31, 2012 | Story

BodyMedia's patent case against Basis still in play
Send this to a friend

- Reporter- Pittsburgh Business Times
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
A patent infringement suit filed by downtown-based BodyMedia against San Francisco-based Basis Science is still progressing through the Delaware courts, said Christine Robins, BodyMedia CEO.
"The case is still in play," she said, despite the release of Basis' product this week.
BodyMedia filed the suit in February and asserts 107 claims against six of its patents. Both companies make body monitoring devices that help people track health and activity.
BodyMedia has more than 70 patents in its portfolio related to wearable sensors and body monitoring. The company received its latest patent just three days ago.
Robins said the company plans to once again attend the Consumer Electronics Show in January, and 2013 will see the company further expanding its business into new areas.
Stay tuned.

Page arrangement for book signaturesWhat software will arrange pages for the bookbinder once the number of leaves per signature is decided? Can Indesign do it? Quark? Is there a utility that does it or do you work it all out and rearrange the pages by yourself?Tags: None
I'm not a printer, my bookbinder has a colour laser and told me he could print the book for me. He wasn't very helpful on the phone about arranging the pages so I thought I'd find out about the subject. I bet there are printers out there who do this all the time.
You can impose in InDesign but you need to talk again to the Bookbinder and see what size he wants it. Does he want 2pg spreads or does he want it set up as 16pg or 8pg. 2pg would be simple but it gets more complicated when you increase the number. If it is a binder job it sounds like each page will be cut seperately, not perfect bound or saddle stitched, correct? Will the pages go into a ringed binder? Are there bleeds on the pages?WYSIWYG
Originally posted by arnoldthepotterI bet there are printers out there who do this all the time.
Sorry, it must be Friday. Please, call around, give the printer what they need. The prepress guy (ME) will respect you for calling ahead.People tell me "Have a Good One!' Hell, I already have a good one, I just need a BIGGER one! - George Carlin
Now I've had to refer to a glossary and I think I used the wrong term earlier, they are called sections aren't they? And imposition is the arrangement? This is for a craft binding, a one off for a book my daughter wrote. Doesn't the number of pages in a section depend on the weight of the paper? No doubt the bookbinder will have a preference once the paper is chosen.
The Indesign printing dialog looks complicated but the word imposition isn't in plain sight.
I call them signatures. Yes, Imposition is the arrangement of the pages. You really need to talk to this person because of the way it's going to bind. Craft binding could be a way the sheet folds down, then bound, then trimmed, or it could be that it does not fold first but instead the pages are cut down into single pages, colated and then bound. You need to know this before you procede. Because it has everything to do with arrangement. Plus does any image cross over the paste board? (bleed)Last edited by jimking; 08-11-2006, 03:09 PM.WYSIWYG
Thanks Jimking and Rickself, I'll drop in and have a chat with him.
For the record, yes there are plugins for both InDesign and Acrobat that handle impositions, but in nearly 99% of cases, the offset printer prefers to do this himself.
As for digital laser outputting-- that's a bit different.
Almost all print shops, big and small, now use RIPs that easily handle basic imposition tasks for these units.
What about in-house runs? I've developed a few 'one-sheet' imposition templates that I use on our 11 x 17 laser. For instance, I just did an 16 page 'pocket booklet' (4 x 5 inches) this week using one of these and it's practically instant to use. All I did was create the accurate layout (with proper trim marks, margins, centering, bleed allowance, etc.) on a full sheet template file and placed a 16 page 'dummy' PDF file in the right order for each side. Then when I have my content ID file (page size 4 x 5) ready, I export it as a PDF to replace the dummy that's linked to the layout template. Update the link, and voila, instant imposition. As long as I export to replace the original linked dummy file, that's all I need do for the next job that fits this spec.

Hi: 7° Lo:1°
By Tristan Harris Saturday 01 February 2014 Updated: 03/02 23:33
TWO MEN are being sought by police after burglaries in Bromsgrove earlier this week.
The first happened in Littleheath Lane, Lickey End, between 12midday and 4.45pm on Sunday (January 26). The raiders used a lean-to on the side of the house to get up to the kitchen window, which they then smashed to get in. They then took jewellery and watches, but it is not yet known how much the items were worth.
The next one happened in Marlbrook Lane, Marlbrook, between 6.50pm and 8.20pm on Tuesday (January 28) when the thieves got in through a back kitchen window and took £30 in cash.
A man, who was white, 5ft 11ins tall, in his early 20s and with light thinning hair, was challenged by a neighbour at 7.45pm that evening as he was cutting through a garden towards Old Birmingham Road. He was wearing a light grey jacket and was carrying a blue Adidas rucksack as he fled.
The next burglary took place in Monument Lane, Lickey, about 10.20am on Wednesday (January 29) after a raider smashed a back patio door. He was white and was wearing a red beanie hat, black jacket, blue or grey jogging bottoms and white trainers. He was carrying a light rucksack, but it is not yet known what was taken.
Officers from West Mercia Police have been carrying out house-to-house enquiries and want to hear from anyone who heard or saw anything suspicious.
Witnesses or anyone with any information should call Det Con Tony Flannagan about the Marlbrook incident, Det Con Adam Pugh on the Lickey burglary or Det Con Cheryl Jones for the Lickey End raid.
They can be reached on 101. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or contact the charity via its website www.crimestoppers-uk.org

Dear Friends, Over lunch, one of the German women at my ashram, who speaks little English, looking up, said, "Schmetterling!" After a moment, it was divined that the translation of schmetterling in English is "butterfly." Schmetterlings kept reappearing throughout the day-- real ones dancing through leaves, the Butterfly pose in yoga class, a large, sequined one on the tee-shirt of a Dutch woman at the ashram, and two on the cover of the same woman's diary. The German word for caterpillar was offered and quickly forgotten, which led to the realization that little attention is paid to the process, the "unfinished" work. The journey from caterpillar to butterfly is important, just like the preparation for a feast, the writing of a novel, and the first brushstroke of a painting are important. I have been wondering, as many do, the questionof my purpose (dharma). It has dawned on me that I need to keep working on the "I," because when this physical journey ends, one part of the process is over, but the becoming continues-- becoming dust, becoming a "loving memory," becoming evolved, becoming soil so that roses, hibiscuses and daisies can bloom, becoming the next Self. India. I couldn't have even begun to imagine India-- the noisiest, most colorful, dustiest, yet calmest place that engages all senses to their highest capacity. It is alive every second of the day-- dogs barking, car horns blasting, horses braying, vendors calling out, "Buy vegetables." I was apprehensive to visit, because I was warned repeatedly about sexual assaults on women, the water on the digestive tract, and the mosquitoes. While those are Indian realities, they haven't been mine. Rishikesh is equal parts Indian women in bright orange, pink,red and green saris, beautiful girls and boys with the longest lashes imaginable, monks in orange, gurus in white, Western seekers, mostly from Western Europe (Germany and The Netherlands), numerous cows, black dogs, and scooters. It was my idea that I'd be at the base of the Himalayas experiencing the utmost silence and tranquility-- ha!-- an unstoppable commotion reigns. Yet, I am at peace here. At the ashram, we wake at 5:30 for meditation, followed by yoga, breakfast and free time; then, lunch, meditation and dinner. In our free time, if we choose, we can do an Ayurvedic treatment or yoga again. A lot of free time. We have internet access only once a week, though there is an internet cafe in town, and no one misses it much; nor, do I miss the TV shows that I thought I would, fish, or chocolate (anymore). Today's the first day I've used the Internet in a week. For the first three days, I was craving chocolate, but I've moved past it. Each day through meditation, yoga and healthy food, I'm feeling an internal quietness that drowns out the blaring chaos of the streets, one which I hope to carry with me throughout my journeys. My search for I continues and will continue always in my two newly found, but intense loves-- Indonesia and India. Love, Val

Thank You Tokyo, Thank You Tomodachi
Tokyo is like a dream. In the early morning, on the quiet streets, when no one is stirring, and the river is calm, Tokyo slowly flutters her eyes. It's breathtaking, and for a city of over 13 million people, very quiet. Before seven o'clock, there are faint tremblings, and one can follow one's thoughts undisturbed on waves of energy from Toyosu to Nihonbashi.
It's not an original idea that it's the people, not the place, that make a moment in time special. There's no denying that Tokyo is special– how often have I spoken about its magical sunlight; its streets strung with lights; its charming citizens; its efficiency; its proximity to rivers, mountains, hot springs and seas; its festivals; its culinary delights; its deep, lingering sunsets? There will never be another Tokyo, but my dear friends, more importantly, without you, there never would've been the Tokyo I enjoyed and will cherish. How can I say thank you?
It's true that three years ago I came here with no expectations, so it was almost impossible to foretell what the future would hold. Here we are– I'm sorry that I didn't give more; listen more; try harder; be better, in all the ways I could have and should have been. It's not an excuse, but I'll tell you that this was all a new experience, and hindsight is always 20/20. Going forward, I'll change more nos to yeses; give as well as you've allowed me to receive; take the time to be more patient and kind. I'll also take the time to sit by rivers and reflect on how many times we sat side by side– on the beach, on a tatami mat floor, in the izakaya, in the restaurant, in the park, in the coffee-shop, in the school, in my apartment, in the shared house, in the deep dark night in the playground. Let's remember how we looked at our present moment, and wondered over our future, and here we are– in the future we discussed.
You never know how much you love a person or a place until you're ready to say goodbye, do you? Know that I was always appreciative. Recently, I listened to a talk given by Osho at one of his retreats where he said the reason couples are in so much anguish after a break-up is because they were "strangers, then friends, then strangers again. That's what hurts." Though time and distance will separate us, my dear friend, (and my dear Tokyo), let's never be strangers to each other.
….it was a very good year for city girls who lived up the stairs with all that perfumed hair…and it came undone
Kyushu: What A Difference A Year Makes!
Dear Friends,
This morning I woke up to a lovely email from my dear friend Nigel which closed with the words, "Do you know what you were doing this day, last year? Yes, it was the start of our Kyushu trip!"
Rishikesh: Nothing and Everything All At Once
Hi Friends,
I have a few weeks left in Tokyo, and have been preparing for my departure. There isn't much to do really, because as you know, I already sold almost all of my belongings when I moved from Nihonbashi to Suitengumae. If you recall, three American guys came with an empty truck and cleared out my apartment for about $500, but it was a relief to get rid of everything in one shot. If I didn't sell everything, I'd have to pay to have it removed, so they did me a favor. I underestimated the power of Craigslist though, because I posted all the items at 8am, and by 10am, the email came from a Californian saying he'd buy it all….and anything else that wasn't listed.
So, I've downsized yet again, and have nothing but two suitcases and one bag. You can't imagine how good that feels; unless of course, you, too, have simplified. Last night, I was thinking about what I didn't need and could bring in some cash, which is always useful, and decided to sell my (two) watches. Neither watch has been worn in in about five months, and they're pretty much dead weight. After I posted them on Craigslist, once again, a response came in record time, with an offer to buy them both. However, this time, the eagerness in which the guy responded made me reconsider selling. Someone else wanting what I had rejected made me want them again. Funny and typical, no? I started to reconsider, "Should I keep 'em, even though they're not needed? Maybe, I'll want to wear them again in the future?" I realized I was being ridiculous, since they were only worn when a good impression needed to be made (i.e interview, etc.) and not actually to tell time. The buyer's picking them up on Monday, and when it's time to buy a watch again, and the time may surely come, then okay. Don't get me wrong, beautiful things that give pleasure are always a plus, but different strokes for different folks. Just yesterday, a friend and I were talking about how amazing it is that the things that once seemed so important can become totally insignificant.
It seems obnoxious to others when one says, "I don't do this" and "I don't do that." It seems like whenever anyone invites me to an event lately, I say, "Oh, shabu shabu? Sorry, I don't eat meat;" or, "An izakaya? Sorry, I don't drink anymore." Just the other day, my co-worker asked me how long this charade would continue, which is quite humorous. Yes, it's all about balance and moderation, that's true. There's absolutely nothing wrong with people's personal choices, what whoever chooses to eat, drink or wear, but that's exactly it, a choice. I asked my mother the other night, "How do I take my self into the real world? The world of my friends who knew a different person?" She told me to just live and not feel the need to explain anything. (Wise woman.) As Osho said, "Every morning you clean your house and throw the rubbish on the rubbish heap, but you don't go declaring and advertising to the whole town that again you have renounced much rubbish, again this morning you have done a great deed of renunciation. No, you know that it is rubbish — finished.
What is there to tell about it?" This week, I've applied for my visa to India; paid my deposit to the ashram in Rishikesh; starting walking a few kilometers a day around the Imperial Palace to physically prepare myself for what's ahead; and, tried to cut down on chocolate to prepare myself for the complete lack of it where I'll be. Ha! Eliminating chocolate only made me crave rum and raisin ice-cream, and that's been on the table one too many times this week. The ashram has a no dairy/no fish policy, so it's going to be a challenge. A real challenge as sugar addictions are no joke. Despite the fact that I'll be shaking from sugar withdrawal for the first few days, here's an idea of the incredible schedule:
5AM Prayers
5:15 Hatha Yoga class
The ashram has no Internet, so I'll be without Internet for one month, which will also have me twitching and feening as well. There will be a majestic view, breathtaking sky or majestic sight that I'll want to share with you via email or this site, and I won't be able to. Though, I guess, after a few days, it won't even matter anymore. Kind of like giving up Facebook; for some reason, this time, it just doesn't matter at all. I could never get how others did it. There will be hours and hours of silence. In scouring the Internet (my beloved friend), I found this Courtesy: http://www.healthandyoga.com (A popular website that helps you find natural solutions for complete health and detoxification) :
As you make your way to the room, you are struck by its modesty – even austerity for some. No carpeting, no air conditioning /heating and no TV… what the hell am I going to do? Is this what I paid for? – Again, that wretched mentality of expectation! While most adjust quite well, others are filled with agonizing thoughts such as this.
Welcome to the Ashram… Your transformation has already begun!
Every experience should prod you to witness it with awareness. You should constantly witness your feelings and try to go deeper by understanding why you feel particularly so. As you do such introspection on a regular basis, you realize over time that the fault is not in the environment or the people that you interact with. Instead the problems arise from within. The situation is only a catalyst to bring the deep contradictions to the surface.
The Ashram setting gives you a chance to experience and reflect on this. Consequently, the changes that take place within you are more positive and permanent.
Once you are settled in, you begin experiencing the immense positive energy that envelops the Ashram. Starting from the morning Aarti prayers on the banks of the holy Ganges River to your morning yoga class, the mind and body experience a unique freshness.
The "now," and the anticipation of the many tomorrow's after tomorrow, stirs feelings of nervousness and giddiness.Tonight, I had dinner with S, my friend and former housemate, who's been away from Tokyo for two months. Such a fabulous person, such a giving friend, and as we sat around the table, and then said goodbye outside the restaurant in Nihonbashi, I thought how I'd surely miss him; how, if he'd been in Tokyo these last few months I may have delayed my departure. It's difficult leaving; taking a step forward; wishing someone dear farewell, but it's just a constant journey back to self, isn't it? We'll meet again, won't we? Love, Val
Food For Thought
'I ain't half the man I used to be. There's a heavy shadow hanging over me." (Yesterday)
Dear Friends,
It was payday two days ago, or as I proclaimed to all and sundry, "the second happiest day of my life." I wished everyone a "Happy Payday" all day, as if it were some public holiday. I had felt the days leading up to payday were grim, since I had my eyes on quite a few things that my wallet couldn't support. However, I did treat myself to Skittles, that are now being sold at American Pharmacy in Marunouchi, and rationed them out like there was a candy war. Rationing is certainly not my thing, since the bag lasted only a few hours.
The chill of autumn's circling the city, carrying the message that summer's over, and the decorated streets of Ginza and brisk nights of winter are on the way. It's clear and lush in its gorgeousness outside, so I decided to get on my beloved bicycle and ride through the streets of Ningyocho, around Suitengu, and up to Nihonbashi. As it's a Sunday, there's no one around, the streets are devoid of life; a cyclist's dream. I wind up in a park where multi-colored water jets are surging green, blue and pink streams. Aquatic rainbows dance in fountain's lights.
A homeless man is rifling through a garbage can for food. His search seems futile, as he has already looked through two garbage cans with no success. Maybe, I've been blind or oblivious, but I've never seen a homeless person looking through the garbage in this park before. As a matter of fact, in this neighborhood, the homeless are rare, and they are usually sleeping on the side of the bridge, at the park in Kyobashi, or on the benches near the Sumida River. The homeless I've encountered never beg, but carry their belongings on their back from place to place or wheel their shopping carts that overflow with huge plastic bags filled with plastic bottles. They're easy to ignore, because either they've learned to make themselves "invisible" or I've learned to overlook things that make me uncomfortable. This man sifting through the garbage about six feet away, I can't, and choose not to, ignore. As a matter of fact, I choose not to forget him or this night (hence this note).
On payday, one of my co-workers told me that he was down to his last $2. I nodded sympathetically, because I had been there before. Thankfully, times haven't been rough lately, but there were days that were just so "broke." My co-worker knew what it was like to be hungry (as many of us have at one time or other), but the difference was that not only could he see salvation coming in the upcoming payday, but he could have, if need be, asked any of us for a few dollars to tide him over. Most of us know that when we're on our last dime, food, more than anything else, is the saving grace. I wish I had some money in my pocket to buy the homeless man something to eat. Would he wait, while I run to the ATM, and then the convenience store across the street? How do I convey the sentiment? At this moment, there's nothing in the world this man wants more than two slices of bread or money to buy some food, and I have neither right now.
It's easy to turn away, isn't it? Yet, when hunger's ripped you in half; turned you inside out and left you wasted, and desiring sleep to escape the pangs; when you've counted coins in your palm and tried to figure out the cheapest way to get full; when everywhere you look, you see others eating, drinking, and oblivious to a harsher reality, then you know you must face the issue at hand. That man's hunger we share, or could because we've all been ravenous.
What to do? Take the weight of the world on our shoulders and burden ourselves, yet remain inactive? Impossible.
Feel hunger, consciously not eat for a day, in order to feel compassion? Possible.
Feed one hungry person who can't afford to feed themselves once a week? Possible.
Fill someone's stomach, or attempt to fill a small bit, before indulging in another mindless treat? Possible.
Feel for someone else, instead of looking away? Possible.
Dear friends, as you know, I'm leaving in five weeks; heading to a place where they'll feed me three square meals a day, and supply me with unlimited tea. There are no snacks offered, and I actually thought of sneaking in my own, but now I won't. I'll be grateful for what's given, and remind myself, that many others are suffering.
Much love,
p.s New and old readers of these letters, thanks so much for reading. It's such a pleasure to see your names pop up one by one in my inbox. I'm grateful that you take the time.
4 Lessons From My Father
Hi Friends,
Last night, I spoke to my father on Skype for over an hour, because there was much to catch up on. His directness, combined with his no-nonsense tone, over the years, has never ceased to amaze, amuse or annoy me, and that has been mutual. Strangely, he encouraged my childhood precociousness, but that outspokenness and verve led to many of our clashes. "Children are to be seen and not heard" wasn't a maxim used in my house, but I know, as the child and not peer, I overly exercised the right to speak a few times.
It's always been said that we're too much alike, and therein lay many of our conflicts; however, now that I'm many years beyond my "problem years," I can see that he's done what only a parent can– be brutally honest for the greater good. We've both mellowed out a lot. (It had to happen, right?)
With time, I'm recognizing some of the lessons he tried to impart, that completely infuriated me then, and the new ones that I really appreciate:
1) Be responsible with your money. Once, when I was 23, I asked my father to borrow $40, to which he answered "No." I couldn't believe it, 'cause I needed the cash, and I knew that he had it. It all seemed so unfair and selfish that it rankled me to the core. Why should I be held accountable for the money I earned, when there was cash that could be borrowed. I never forgot that, and it took years for me to see that he was right. I, also, never forgot that a week later he sent me a check for $200 to "help," and a note about money management. (The message is just now registering.)
2) Show up on time. Jamaicans are allergic to clocks, and watches (except as fashion statements), but my father shows up early for every occasion. It's so un-Jamaican of him– this punctuality thing, and it must boil down to his many years of living and working in New York. I hear there may be others like him, but I've never met them. He once told me that a funeral we were attending started two hours earlier than it really did, because he wanted me to get there at 1pm, the designated time. When I showed up late, and somewhat amused that I had been deceived, he only replied that if he'd said the correct time, we would have been late and disrespectful to the family of the deceased. Point taken. It's only in the last three years that the message has taken root. Time is the most valuable commodity anyone has, and someone who shows up late (repeatedly) doesn't know its worth.
3) Be good to others. There was a childhood Christmas that I distinctly remember where my brother and I had to choose the gift we liked the most, drive with our parents to an impoverished neighborhood, and give it to a less fortunate child. The lessons that were important to learn then were: 1) We were fortunate to have what we had, and our good fortune should be shared 2) No one is beneath or above us, especially not due to finances. We're connected on a deeper level. 3) Giving feels even better than receiving.
4) Be crazy. There were three things that my father said to me constantly while growing up, "Ma nishtana halila hazeh," (loosely translated as "Why should this day be different from any other"), "Lusmishinup," (spelling and language unknown– but essentially, "Shut up" said affectionately), and "I'm going crazy, you wanna come?" There were times in my childhood when we'd be sitting around, and my father would get the car keys and say, "I'm going crazy, you wanna come?" The act of spontaneity, the getting up and going on an adventure, always resulted in happiness. Mind you, the "crazy" was never very crazy at all– Devon House for an ice-cream cone, a drive around town, to the house of one his friends for conversation where I played with one of the kids or listened to the adults talk about things I couldn't understand as someone's pipe smoke lingered over my head, a drive for a patty, a respite from the ordinariness of life. In all my years, my travels have never been as exciting as going along for the ride and "going crazy," and I've never forgotten that it's important to get up and get moving sometimes.
Last night, my father said, "What's this India thing I read on your blog? How many pieces of you are there that you still need to find yourself?" He made me laugh, though his question was serious. There are so many pieces of all of us, discoverable and undiscoverable, but I'm so thankful to my father that many identifiable pieces are whole and intact– awareness, esteem, humor. He was never a softie, or the teddy bear type of dad, but his actions spoke of many things incommunicable by words.
The Lure of Tokyo
Dear Friends,
It's 12:26am, and I should be dreaming of houses by the beach and surfers coming in to shore, but I just came in from my private lesson and feeling far from drowsy. My private student works in the financial industry, and leaves work quite late, so our lessons start late and run until almost midnight. His English is excellent, thus we converse about all sorts of things for ninety minutes or so. I guess we're the other's sounding board, except one of us leaves more financially stable than when we greeted. (Thank heavens, 'cause some days my pockets are oh too light.)
We meet in a karaoke bar's private room, because the rooms are quiet (except for the atrocious singing nearby), and you can drink as much as you'd like for one set price. As you know though, since Ubud, I haven't drunk alcohol. My drink of choice is hot oolong tea, which has tremendous health benefits and is reputed to be great for one's metabolism. He drinks whiskey sours, and/or beer. He asked me tonight why I'm being so restrictive with myself, "No beer, no meat," to which I replied that I have no judgements at all about those things, and if one chooses to eat them or not, but I have no taste for them at the moment. If you don't want something, it doesn't hurt if you can't have it, right? Unfortunately, my feelings about Nutty Buddies and Snickers bars aren't the same.
In Ubud, I met quite a few people who had visited Rishikesh and Mysore, and they opened my eyes to the incredible beauty of those places, and what could be learned from time spent there– in regards to yoga and meditation. For the last week or so, I've been looking at ashrams in both places. Honestly, my only thoughts of India had been that it was overly-crowded and hectic. When I told my boss that I wanted to move my resignation up a bit, so that I could visit India before Jamaica, he asked me if I was "doing an Eat Pray Love thing." He made me laugh, because I hadn't thought about it that way, though Ubud is rife with the book's presence. However, a yoga retreat, or a meditation retreat, is the natural next step if you've become in love with yoga. It's not that India is the place that I must go in order to do so, but the fact that I'm in Tokyo makes it cheap and convenient to get there.
My student O urged me to not to get "too religious," but I countered by saying that it's not about "religion" in a technical sense at all. He asked me if I believed in God, and we spoke at length about my interpretation of God, which isn't defined by Christianity, the religion I was born into, or any other organized religion that I have a modicum of knowledge about. Truly religious people would find my views sacrilegious, though I find biblical verses to be gorgeous and helpful; just as I do Rumi, Buddhist principles, etc. It puzzles me how some spend hours in church one or two days a week and behave far from "godly," kind, and all-loving. O stated that if I sit in meditation all the time that I would become obsessed with God, but I already feel that God is everywhere, so my intention is to find clarity in silence.
He asked me what would happen after India, and I spoke to him about my future plans. He asked why I don't stay in Jamaica for awhile– but, how can I live somewhere where I can't ride my bicycle at night? As I rode home, the lure of Tokyo came over me, and I realized why it's been so hard to leave this place. It's so safe, so easy, so convenient– almost too much so. I thought, "Why not stay six more months, save some money, then move on?" The 24-hour everything, the affordable, cramped, yet comfortable living, the short, moderate seasons, the excellent customer service–it certainly is a trap. As I said to him, I must say to myself, and to you, "Prioritize what is important; what you want to see each day; who you want to spend time with; how you want to live;" then, the answer will come. Silence in India isn't needed for that clarity, just a pen and a notebook.

Friday Five: Johnny Paycheck
If there were ever a walking, talking, country song, Johnny Paycheck just might have been it. Jail, drinking, money problems and rabble-rousing weren't just song topics, they were a way of life for Donald Eugene Lytle, born on this day back in 1938. Happy birthday to Johnny–who would have been 75 today had he not passed away in 2003. What's your favorite song that Paycheck wrote and/or recorded?
5. "Old Violin"
The year prior to the 1986 release of this great steel guitar driven track, Paycheck was sentenced to seven years in prison for shooting at a man's head. But his personal life didn't affect his chart success: "Old Violin" made the Top 20.
4. "She's All I Got"
This single went all the way to #2 in 1971. It was released earlier that year by Freddie North as a pop hit and has also been recorded by Conway Twitty, Tanya Tucker, and Tracy Byrd.
This was Paycheck's very first charted single back in 1965.
2. "I'm the Only Hell (Mama Ever Raised)"
The coolest part of this video is the wardrobe.
1. "Take This Job and Shove It"
Paycheck's signature song, Take This Job and Shove It," was written by his friend David Allan Coe–and hit #1 in 1977, making it Paycheck's only chart-topper.
13 Comments
Enjoyed the 5. My conclusion to Mr. Paycheck's "ambience" is Hag without the voice, class, regret or repentance. I'll pass.
Authentic, real and genuine are words that come to mind when I reflect on Paychecks music. In my mind he should have a spot in the hall of fame sooner than later. Had it been a longer list would have loved to have seen clasics like colorado kool aid, i've got someone to kill and drinin' and drivin' that woman out of my mind.
As a related something from left field I'd toss in the original recorded version of "Apartment No. 9″ as sung by Bobby Austin with Johnny on harmony vocals. Johnny and Bobby co-wrote the song and I think their version stands as the best. I'm sure they didn't mind though when Tammy Wynette decided to record a cover version. It was nice of Chuck Mead to dust this fine oldie off for his recent Quonset Hut album as well.
@ Kenn – To each his own. Paycheck is one of the performers that when he sang at the Opry the other entertainers would listen in the wings as they had a great appreciation for his vocal talents.
"Old Violin" is my #1. Somehow you could feel him painting a self-portrait.
Maybe–and this is a guess–you're not all that familiar with Paycheck's music, beyond what he did in the wake of "Take This Job And Shove It."
He did some great stuff before that–and he definitely had "the voice"–and some of those other qualities.
He was one of the most emotionally intense singers in country music. I like all those included above, but I'd add in Fifteen Years Ago and I Did The Right Thing as particulat personal favourites.
Paycheck was such a close singing partner of George Jones in the early days that it's still debated by those familiar with their work together as to who influenced who-um as singers. Singers form Willie to Merle to Connie Smith to the late Possum have valued his singing immensely. And if you've never heard his daring and out there "Little Darlin" label records, you ought to. Don't let the caricature he became–and made some money with– tell the story.
Well said Barry !
I'm Barly Hanging On To Me
"Pardon Me, I've Got Someone to Kill" has always been one of my favorite songs. I love it when country goes dark, and Johnny Paycheck was one of the best at it.
"I Never Got Over You" which appeared on the AMI label in 1983, followed by "The Cave" and "A-11″ from the Little Darlin' years, "Old Violin" from his one-shot Mercury album and "Someone To Give My Love To" from the Epic years would be my absolute favs,
I do have a warm spot in my heart for all of the Paycheck/Mayhew collaborations – such as "Lovin' Machine", "You'll Forget In Time" and "Motel Time Again"
It's kind of funny–at least to me–that he got his name–first and last–from a real guy named Johnny Paychek.
Anybody who's interested can look it up!
Paycheck's actual outlaw output on Little Darlin' blows his major label work out of the water.

YouTube's TrueView ad format launched on Android
YouTube's TrueView video ad format is being launched on Android devices this week, according to the Google Mobile Ads blog, with plans to roll out the format to all mobile operating systems in the next few weeks.
Google introduced the skippable cost-per-view YouTube ad format at the end of 2010. Since that time is has been reported that over two-thirds of TrueView ads on YouTube are watched by viewers.
Just 30% are skipped.
There is even more good news for advertisers. Those viewers who don't skip TrueView ads are 75% more engaged than viewers who are presented with standard ads.
A significant benefit of the TrueView ad format is that it enables advertisers to assess what effectively engages an audience. And, as it's based on a cost-per-view model, advertisers are only charged if an ad is viewed in full, or for at least 30 seconds.
As from this week, the TrueView ad format will be available on Android devices and will be rolled out to other mobile platforms in due course.
"We've only just begun testing TrueView on mobile, but early indications are that people engage with these ads in the same way as they do on desktop," writes Phil Farhi, YouTube's group product manager on the Google blog.
