Child Support
Both parents have a responsibility to financially support their children. If you do not have custody, the amount of child support you must pay is based on your income and the number of children.
Support amounts
- Child support checklist
- Lists what information you need to determine the amount of child support under the child support guidelines
- Federal child support guidelines workbook
- Explains how child support is calculated in a step-by-step manner
- Child support tables
- Shows the basic child support payment under the Child Support Guidelines. The Guidelines have been amended to update the child support tables effective December 31, 2011. More information is available here.
- Child Support and the Child Support Guidelines (Community Legal Education Ontario)
- This booklet explains how child support is calculated and enforced.
- Proof of Income
- If you pay child support or if your income is required to calculate a child support amount, you must provide proof of your income to the other parent. Under the Child Support Guidelines, that must include copies of the following documents:
- Income Tax Returns for each of the past three years;
- Notices of Assessment and Reassessment for each of those years
- Your most recent statement of earnings or confirmation of income from your employer if you are an employee;
- If you are self-employed or control a corporation, the businesses' financial statement and a statement showing all wages and other similar payments;If you receive employment insurance, social assistance, a pension, worker's compensation or disability payment, documentation of that income; and,
- Information relating to the income of a trust where you are a beneficiary under a trust.
- Filing Your Separation Agreement to Enforce Child Support Payments
- If you have a separation agreement and would like the Family Responsibility Office to enforce the child support payments, you can file it with the court and then register it with the FRO for enforcement. To file your separation agreement, you will need to complete an Affidavit for Filing Domestic Contract or Paternity Agreement (Form 26B) with the court.
- Updated Income Information
- Once child support is in place, any person whose income was required to calculate child support must provide updated documentation of their income to the other party each year within 30 days of the anniversary of the court order or separation agreement that sets out the support payment, unless the parties have agreed not to do so in writing. This is done by sending a copy of the most recent Income Tax Return and Notice of Assessment to the other party.
In addition, either party can always request income disclosure from the other once a year, as long as his or her income was required to calculate the amount of child support. Once a request for income disclosure is made, all of the documents listed in the section titled "Proof of Income" must be provided, including Income Tax Returns and Notices of Assessment for the past three years. Read answers to common questions about these new rules.
Basic Forms
- To apply to obtain support
If you want to apply to obtain support, you will need
to complete:
These and other family court forms are available at Ontario Court Forms.
- an Application (Form 8), and
- a Financial Statement ( Form 13, Support Claims or Form 13.1, Property and Support Claims)
- To apply for a change in a support order or agreement
- The process for motions to change has changed effective September 1st, 2008, and depends on whether the parties both agree to the change that has been requested. For more information about the documents that must be filed in order to change a final order for support or a support clause in an agreement, click here or read the Ministry's Guides to Motions to Change.

Reviews of Cherry Choi
Our family decided while staying in HongKong we would visit ShenZhen and Guangzhou and that a guide would be needed.
We contacted Cherry via email and had great communication from Cherry.
Once we met we found Cherry extremely helpful and knowledgeable, able to offer suggestions of what to see and do.
Having someone who can speak chinese and can interpret for you makes life a lot easier.
Cherry made our trip so much more enjoyable and we could not have done it without her.
Would strongly recommend Cherry as a guide and would certainly be using her services again.
Hi dear Cherry,

As a FTM, this is the first of weird experiences for me. This morning I woke up and felt a sharp, stingy feeling on my left breast. I thought it was just the regular breast pain and went back to bed and work up with some discharge on my shirt...only on my left side!
The discharge was just clear liquid (water like) with no smell. Leaking from one boob mean that there would be issues producing milk from the other?
I want to google this, but since I am at work, I don't want to google this topic on office network :) So, decided to come over to this board.

Famous for his rendition of {&"My Blue Heaven,"} crooner Gene Austin was turned into a Western star by the independent Alexander brothers, Max and Arthur. The vehicle, Songs and Saddles, was then road-shown on a personal appearance tour throughout the South, where Austin was very popular. Not your typical handsome Western hero, the pudgy Austin was nevertheless able to stay in the saddle long enough to warble such ditties as {&"I'm Coming Home"} and {&"Rootin' Tootin' Shootin' Man from Texas,"} both written by himself, and to romance leading lady Lynne Barkeley without appearing too much the fool. Austin played himself, a traveling troubadour coming to the aid of an elderly rancher, "Pop" Turner (Walter Wills), who is about to be cheated out of his property by an evil realtor (Karl Hackett) and his contractor accomplice (Charles King). Unbeknownst to Pop, a new highway is projected to run through his land, making said property very valuable. Left for dead by the villains, Pop is kept out of sight by daughter Carol (Barkeley) and Austin, who then go after the would-be killers. Nothing to get too excited about, Songs and Saddles nevertheless proved popular with its intended audience of Austin fans. The uninitiated simply assumed it was a Gene Autry Western, a mix-up of names the Alexander brothers were happy to leave well enough alone. Songs and Saddles was photographed in California's picturesque High Sierras by veteran cinematographers Robert Cline and Harry Forbes. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi

I think the style might clash a bit with the painting method. I think this one would look better in an art deco-style, which uses geometric shapes and is often associated with progress and industry. However, that style usually uses solid block of colour, or gradients and more subtle shadings. Its just the impression I get, tough, I might be way off.

Plasticity: International Digital Design to Fabrication Competition
Please visit the contest website for additional info.
Qualified firms are challenged to convert an existing freeway bridge spanning the Anacostia River in Southeast D.C. into an elevated park that unites the neighborhoods of Capitol Hill and Anacostia. The project aims to re-engage District residents with the riverfront, offer new civic space that fosters play and health, and provide environmental education. The 11th Street Bridge Park is estimated to cost $25 million to complete, with the earliest projected opening date in 2017 or 2018. The park's backers also anticipate raising a $10 million endowment to support park programming, operations, and maintenance.
Given the unique nature of this project and its location in the nation's capital, there has been tremendous interest from the country's most innovative designers. Later this spring, the top four concepts will be shared with community members for feedback. The final design will be selected in fall.

Confirmed: Erica Mena Is Pregnant!!
There's been quite some speculation on whether or not Vh1's "Love & Hip Hop New York" castmember, Erica Mena, was pregnant. There were some subtle clues that Erica put out there, but no one really took her seriously and so it was left right where it was at......just her talking.
In any event, Erica Mena recently confirmed those rumors by posting up some photos of herself on Instagram hanging out at the club with friends rubbing on her belly (as shown in the photo above). Many folks thought the photos were in bad taste, but why can't a woman enjoy a night out at the club sipping on some cranberry or orange juice? Especially if she's getting paid to be there?
However, my only concern is that Erica Mena was recently filmed fighting for her life in some behind the scenes footage obtained by TMZ.com from the "Love & Hip Hop New York" set. If you missed out on that fight footage then refresh your memory by going (here).
I'm just hoping that fight didn't do anything detrimental to the unborn baby.
Another photo of Erica Mena and her pregnant belly when you click on that "Read More" button below:
Now my only question to you guys is this..............who's the baby's father? Is it Broke Pennies? Or someone else's? I'll hold!

The only problem we've had is a bad clasp on these leads.
We use them (we have several!) for the horses of course, but also for our sheep, our dog, and my daughter just used it on her sled to be pulled!
Pros: sturdy but soft on your hands
Cons: Sometimes they get broken

Article: Lack of activation of plasma contact system in Crohn's disease: A possible role of increased C1-inhibitor levels
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Activation of the contact and complement systems in C1-inhibitor deficiencies is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of angioedema attacks by releasing kinins. Trigger stimuli of attacks may also activate coagulation. This is particularly important because experimental data suggest that thrombin, the main enzyme of the coagulation cascade, increases vascular permeability and can thus influence edema formation. We have studied 19 patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE) during remission, 5 HAE patients during acute attacks, and 6 patients with acquired angioedema (AAE) during remission and during seven attacks. Thirty normal subjects, matched for sex and age, served as controls. Generation of thrombin was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as plasma levels of the prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 (F1 + 2); the initiators of the tissue factor and contact coagulation pathways were investigated by measuring plasma levels of activated factor VII (FVIIa) coagulometrically and activated factor XII (FXIIa) by ELISA. Cleavage of high molecular weight kininogen (HK) was evaluated by immunoblotting analysis. F1 + 2 was slightly increased during remission and further significantly increased during attacks in both HAE (P = .0115) and AAE. FVIIa and FXIIa, normal during remission, increased strikingly during attacks in both HAE (P = .0022 and P = .0044) and AAE. During remission, cleaved HK was normal in HAE and high in AAE; during attacks it increased in HAE (P = .0008) and remained elevated in AAE. Our data indicate that in C1-inhibitor deficient patients there is increased generation of thrombin during attacks, with signs of activation of both the contact and tissue factor coagulation pathways. In conclusion, C1-inhibitor deficiency, whether hereditary or acquired, has demonstrable activation of the coagulation and kinin-forming cascades during attacks and that thrombin should be considered a possible contributing factor in the pathogenesis of edema in HAE and AAE.
Article: Non neutralizing antibodies to tissue type plasminogen activator in the serum of acute myocardial infarction patients treated with the recombinant protein[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt PA) is currently used as a thrombolytic agent in the management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Since it is known that other recombinant proteins induce antibody formation when administered to humans, we determined the presence of anti-rt-PA antibodies in serial blood samples from 60 AMI patients (43 treated with and 17 without rt-PA). Blood samples were taken upon hospital admission, 15 days and 1, 3, 6 months thereafter. A blood sample was also collected from 200 healthy subjects. Using an ELISA, anti-rt-PA antibodies were detected as serum immunoglobulins specifically binding immobilized rt-PA, AMI patients before treatment and normal subjects exhibited negligible levels of anti-rt-PA antibodies; both groups had only one outlier value. Fifteen days after rt-PA treatment, 2 AMI patients showed an increase in antibody titer beyond the highest normal value. This titer progressively decreased during the following 6 months. The antibodies from these two patients bound rt-PA both in a solid and fluid phase. They bound melanoma t-PA to a lower degree and did not bind urokinase type plasminogen activator at all, indicating specificity for t-PA. The marked temporal relationship between rt-PA infusion and antibody appearance indicated that antibody formation had been elicited by the infusion of rt-PA. Nevertheless, the lack of anti-rt-PA antibody interference with rt-PA function in vitro, along with the favourable clinical outcome of those patients having such antibodies would indicate that the appearance of anti-rt-PA antibodies does not interfere with the physiological fibrinolytic activity.
Article: Cleavage of high molecular weight kininogen in ascites and plasma of patients with cirrhosis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The vasoactive peptide bradykinin may be involved in the pathogenesis of vasodilation, which has been considered the initiating event of ascites formation in cirrhotic patients. Since bradykinin is generated through the cleavage of high molecular weight kininogen (HK) by kallikrein, we looked for the cleavage of HK by an immunoblotting technique in plasma and ascitic fluid of 28 patients with cirrhosis of different etiology. The majority of patients showed massive cleavage of HK in ascitic fluid (median 50% of total HK; range 23–100%). Patients with severe ascites had more cleaved HK in plasma (29%; range 8–38%) than normal subjects (22%; range 11–32) (P=0.02). Patients with high levels of plasma renin activity (5–60 ng/ml/hour), which is considered a consequence of peripheral vasodilation, had more plasma cleaved HK (31%; range 18–38) (P=0.0097) than normals. Thus, our data support the view that cleavage of HK could play a role in the pathogenesis of vasodilation and ascites formation in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- For the third straight game, the Cleveland Indians were involved in a one-hit shutout. And for the second day in a row, they were on the short end.
Michael Bourn was awarded a single in the third inning after umpire Adrian Johnson's original call was reversed on a replay challenge by manager Terry Francona. That was all the Indians could get against Dan Haren in a 1-0 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night.
Cleveland was unsuccessful against Haren (8-4) after Seattle's Felix Hernandez stymied them through eight innings on Sunday.
"I would have liked to be on the winning side of all three," said Cleveland third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall, whose single in the fifth inning against Hernandez was the Indians' only hit following Josh Tomlin's complete-game 5-0 victory over the Mariners on Saturday.
"You've got to give the pitchers credit. That doesn't happen a lot," Chisenhall added. "We usually work counts, get deep into counts, get hits and put pressure on guys. But we haven't done that two days in a row."
Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas made a diving stop of Bourn's smash behind second base and got the out call from Johnson before Francona strolled out of the dugout. Bourn then stole second, giving the Indians two men in scoring position. But Asdrubal Cabrera looked at a third strike.
Had the play on Bourn not been overturned, Haren felt he had enough gas to go two more innings and try for the Dodgers' third no-hitter of the season after the gems by Josh Beckett and Clayton Kershaw.
"I didn't even think about it until I came out of the game and Zack (Greinke) said something like: 'If this was last year, you'd have a no-hitter,'" Haren said after his 103-pitch effort. "I think 2 2-3 was the longest I've had a no-hitter this year, so that was pretty good for me."
The Dodgers, who held the NL champion Cardinals to just four runs while taking three of four, had runners at second and third in the fourth inning when Corey Kluber struck out Andre Ethier and retired Juan Uribe on a flyball.
Ethier came up again in the seventh and led off with an opposite-field triple off the glove of left fielder Michael Brantley on the warning track. Two outs later, pinch-hitter Hanley Ramirez was intentionally walked and rookie Clint Robinson worked the count full before smacking a single up the middle for his first major league hit and RBI.
Kluber (7-6) allowed a run and six hits over 6 2-3 innings and struck out five. The 28-year-old right-hander, who has spent all four of his big league seasons with the Indians, came in 6-0 with a 2.29 ERA in his six previous interleague starts.
Haren struck out five and walked one on the 11th anniversary of his major league debut, getting through seven innings for just the third time in 17 starts this season. The right-hander ended a streak of nine consecutive outings in which he allowed a home run, one shy of his career-worst stretch in 2012.
"It was his ability to control the inside part of the plate," Chisenhall said. "He got strike one, then we got a little bit defensive and he was able to get a lot of rollovers."
Brian Wilson pitched a perfect eighth and Kenley Jansen a 1-2-3 ninth for his 25th save.
The defending NL West champion Dodgers took over sole possession of first place in the division by a half-game over idle San Francisco. The Giants led them by as many as 9 1-2 games as recently as June 8. Since then, Los Angeles has gone 15-6 and San Francisco 4-15.
BOSTON -- Jake Arrieta held the Red Sox hitless until Stephen Drew singled with two outs in the eighth inning, and the Chicago Cubs beat Boston 2-0 on Monday night in the opener of only the second series between the teams at Fenway Park since 1918.
Six days after losing a perfect game on a leadoff single in the seventh inning of his previous start at Wrigley Field against Cincinnati, Arrieta took his no-hit bid a little deeper. He allowed only Mike Napoli's fifth-inning walk before Drew lined a clean single to right.
Arrieta (5-1) was lifted by Cubs manager Rick Renteria immediately following the hit that came on the right-hander's career-high 120th pitch. He struck out 10.
Nate Schierholtz hit a two-run homer for Chicago.
Jake Peavy (1-7) is winless in his last 12 starts. He gave up two runs on five hits, walking two and striking out seven in six innings.
NEW YORK -- Logan Forsythe hit a tiebreaking single with two outs in the 12th inning and the Rays beat the Yankees after squandering a late lead.
Matt Joyce and Kevin Kiermaier homered for the resurgent Rays, who have their first three-game winning streak since taking a season-best four in a row May 22-25. They've won five of six overall and no longer own the worst record in the majors, a distinction that had belonged to them every day since June 4.
Brian Roberts homered off Rays reliever Joel Peralta with one out in the ninth to tie it 3-all.
Brandon Guyer drew a two-out walk from Jose Ramirez (0-2) in the 12th and stole second base. Forsythe lined the next pitch into center field, scoring Guyer easily.
Brad Boxberger (1-1) pitched two perfect innings for his first major league win in 72 appearances.
MINNEAPOLIS -- Alcides Escobar tied a career high with four RBIs on two doubles and Salvador Perez homered to lift the Royals to a victory over the Twins.
Danny Duffy (5-7) gave up one run and four hits while striking out three in 5 2-3 innings and Mike Moustakas had two hits for the Royals. Kansas City (43-39) has won three of four and is off to its best start since 2003.
Yohan Pino (0-2) gave up four runs and seven hits while also striking out three in 5 2-3 innings for the Twins. Eduardo Nunez had two hits and an RBI in his return from the disabled list for Minnesota, which has lost six of its last seven games to drop into last place in the AL Central.
HOUSTON -- Robinson Cano had a three-run shot in the seventh inning, one of the Seattle Mariners' season-high four homers in a win over the Astros.
Mike Zunino had a two-run drive in the second, Michael Saunders added a pair on his long ball in the fourth and Brad Miller homered two batters later to help the Mariners to their eighth win in 10 games.
Heralded prospect Taijuan Walker (1-0) allowed homer runs to George Springer and Marwin Gonzalez early before settling down to strike out six in six innings in his season debut after dealing with a shoulder problem.
Houston starter Collin McHugh (4-7) allowed five hits, five runs and tied a career high with three home runs in six innings.
BALTIMORE -- Steve Pearce hit two of Baltimore's four home runs off Joe Saunders and Ubaldo Jimenez ended a run of nine winless starts as the Orioles defeated the Rangers.
Adam Jones and J.J. Hardy also homered for the Orioles, who hit a major league-leading 46 long balls in June.
Jimenez (3-8) allowed one run, none earned, and four hits with seven strikeouts in eight innings. The right-hander walked only one after issuing 30 free passes in his previous seven starts.
Saunders (0-5) gave up seven runs and nine hits in five innings.
ATLANTA -- Three errors by New York fueled Atlanta's comeback as the Braves scored four runs in the eighth inning and beat the Mets for their fifth straight win.
Errors by reliever Jeurys Familia (1-3), center fielder Juan Lagares and third baseman Eric Campbell in the eighth helped the Braves rally from a 3-1 deficit.
Anthony Varvaro (3-1) pitched one scoreless inning to earn the victory. Craig Kimbrel recorded the final three outs for his 25th save.
The Braves announced late in the game that catcher Evan Gattis will be placed on the 15-day disabled list after an MRI revealed a bulging thoracic disk in his back.
Curtis Granderson had two hits, including a homer, for the Mets.
WASHINGTON -- Adam LaRoche homered, Ryan Zimmerman had three hits and Ian Desmond added two doubles and three RBIs as the Nationals welcomed back Bryce Harper with a win over the Rockies.
Harper, who missed 57 games because of a torn ligament in his left thumb, went 1 for 3 with an RBI single -- on Bryce Harper bobblehead night.
Jordan Zimmermann (6-4) allowed two runs in six innings as Washington won its third straight.
Justin Morneau had three hits for the Rockies, who have lost 12 of 14.
Yohan Flande (0-1), making his second start, was charged with three runs on six hits.

Long live the hard drive!
You've probably never come across a bumper sticker that reads, "You can have my hard disk drive when you pry it from my cold, dead hands," but rest assured, mechanical storage is far from being on the verge of extinction. Storage makers with a vested interest in HDDs have even gone and created a the Storage Products Association (SPA), the world's first trade association promoting hard drives to end users.
Comprised of HGST, Seagate, Toshiba, and WD, the SPA debuted this week at the Flash Memory Summit with its member companies participating in a panel discussing how solid state hybrid drives (SSHDs) can benefit today's storage requirements. In addition to HDDs, the trade group also promotes SSHDs.
"HDDs are a crucial technology for storing the ever expanding data that humans and our machines are generating," said Tom Coughlin , president of storage industry analyst firm Coughlin Associates. "Hard disk drives combined with flash memory can provide users the speed they need while providing affordable mass storage. With continued development of advanced storage technology and storage architectures these amazing storage devices will provide a home for the world's accessible data and serve every type of content users for many years to come."
So, what's the point? The SPA has tasked itself with helping storage manufacturers and users understand and support current and future storage trends and advancements, including the key role of HDDs and SSHDs.
There's a lot of money at stake. Disk drive manufacturers generated over $37 billion in 2012. Want more fun facts? There were 578.5 million HDDs produced last year, or more than 1.6 million per day, or 19 every second. And end users will be happy to know that the price per gigabyte has fallen on average almost 25 percent every quarter over the last decade.

Negative Capability: Kerouac's Buddhist Ethic
That's a summary of the text of Prajnaparamita: "Highest Perfect Wisdom" Heart Sutra. Most of Kerouac's mid-late poetry depends on some glimpse or some understanding of that statement, as both an ethic and a philosophical take on reality and appearance. Once you get that terminology down, you'll be able to read his Mexico City Blues very easily and see how funny they are, what a good representation of the mind they are and how trenchant philosophically. Few readers have had the inquisitiveness to go into his Buddhism and learn its basis which can be summarized in one sentence which Kerouac often quoted from the Vajraheddika, or Diamond Sutra:
All conceptions as to the existence of the self, as well as conceptions as to the existence of a supreme self, as well as all conceptions as to the non-existence of the supreme self, are equally arbitrary, being only conceptions.
It's not very far from the notion that William Burroughs laid on Kerouac in 1945 when he gave him a copy of Alfred Korzybski's Science and Sanity, the basic foundation work in general semantics. The theme was: don't confuse words (and ideas) with events. The table is not a table. This is not a finger, it's called a finger but it is what it is. This leaves the universe open. The slogan is: "Avoid the is of identity."
Unfortunately, Kerouac had no teacher in the lineage of Zen or classical Buddhism. And so the one thing lacking was the tool, the instrument to realize the sort of substratum of all this exposition, namely the sitting practice of meditation—actually to take in his body the notion of emptiness or examine it as a process of mind, through the practice of classical meditation as handed down in immemorial "ear-whispered" tradition.
However, Kerouac was very intelligent and knew that substratum almost intuitively. You can tell that from his writing, from his poetry with its metaphors of emptiness and the description of vast spaciousness, which is the same thing as emptiness. You can see it at the end of The Town and the City, the vision of a football field, the sun going down behind the clouds and the vaster spaces beyond in the sky. The sense of "panoramic awareness" runs through all of Kerouac's descriptions of landscape. You always find him focusing on Neal Cassady at the pool table or the snooker table with the camera receding as it does at the end of the movie Les Enfants du Paradis when the camera recedes above the buildings, above the Ferris wheel, until we see the vast crowd receding in a much vaster space.
Kerouac, however, lacked specific instruction in the actual method of meditation practice in Zen. This, basically, is to follow the breath and take a friendly attitude toward one's thoughts, but bring the mind back to attention to the breath. Kerouac had worked out his own form of sitting practice which involved squeezing his anus, closing his eyes, and trying to see a golden light.
He had some kind of satori from that. But the instruction one gets in ancient sitting practice is: as soon as you see your thoughts, renounce them, let go. Don't cling to thought, don't try and make it a reference point, keep the space of mind open. As Blake says, "He who binds to himself a joy/does the winged life destroy/He who kisses the joy as it flies/lives in eternity's sunrise."
That's the basis, simply paying attention to the ongoing process of breath while it's proceeding, and taking a friendly attitude towards your thought forms. Not inviting them in, not pushing them away, allowing them to take care of themselves, but keeping your attention on the actual physical space around you, the flow of the out breath. That's Tibetan style meditation. Gary Snyder never did teach him Zen Buddhist sitting practice style because of some odd miscommunication.
Kerouac's satori was clinging both to despair of suffering, fear of suffering, and permanent Hell, fear of a permanent Heaven: "I am only an Apache/smoking hashi, in old Cabashy/by the lamp," humorously frozen in a kind of horrible hashish Hell. He constantly refers to that image: "Pieces of the Buddha material frozen and sliced microscopically in morgues of the North ... skeletons of heroes ... fingers and joints ... elephants of kindness torn apart by vultures." So obsessed was he with the suffering he encountered that he wasn't able to let go. I think the alcohol amplified that suffering, left him prey to the phantasm of the monotheistic imposition which Blake had denounced as being "six thousand years of sleep" for Western civilization.
So, we have a contrast here, ethically and philosophically, between non-theistic Buddhist space-awareness or awareness practice, and theistic Catholicism's contemplation of or fixation on the Cross of suffering.
As Jack grew older, in despair and lacking the means to calm his mind and let go of the suffering, he tended more and more to grasp at the Cross. And so, in his later years, he made many paintings of the Cross, of cardinals, popes, of Christ crucified, of Mary; seeing himself on the Cross, and finally conceiving of himself as being crucified. He was undergoing crucifixion in the mortification of his body as he drank. Nonetheless, he did have this quality of negative capability, the ability to hold opposite ideas in his mind without "an irritable reaching out after fact and reason," which John Keats proposed as the true mind of the Shakespearian poet.
"I am Canuck, I am from Lowell, I am Jewish, I am Palestianian, I Am, I am the finger, I am the name." Kerouac was not heavily entangled in such fixed identity.
We owe it to Burroughs somewhat for having cut Kerouac loose from that "is of identity" in the mid-1940s so that Kerouac had the ability to empathize with the old transvestite queen and become "one of the world's/great bullshitters/girls," as he says in his Mexico City Blues: "Darling! Red hot/That kind of camping/I don't object to/unless it's kept within reason." He could empathize with the all-American boy, football hero. He could be a sophisticated littérateur or an old drunk alternatively. He could be country bumpkin, he could be as Thomas Wolfe, or he could empathize with William Burroughs as a "non-Wolfian" European sophisticate. So, in the end, his poetry and his prose becomes a perfect manifestation of his mind. That was the whole point of the spontaneous prosody. And the great Tibetan Lama Chogyam Trungpa, examining Kerouac's poetry, said: "It's a perfect manifestation of mind." His work is accepted in the Buddhist community as a great manifestation of poetic mind; true to the nature of mind as understood traditionally by Buddhist theories of spontaneous mind, how to achieve and how to use it.
Kerouac wrote an essay, "Last Words," in January 1967 (published in Escapade) quoting the Surangama Sutra:
If you are now desirous of more perfectly understanding Supreme Enlightenment, you must learn to answer spontaneously and with no recourse to discriminate thinking. For the Tathagatas (the passers-through) in the ten quarters of the universes, because of the straight-forwardness of their minds and the spontaneity of their mentations, have ever remained, from beginningless time to endless time, of one pure Suchness with the enlightening nature of pure Mind Essence.
Then Kerouac continues:
... which is pretty strange old news. You can also find pretty much the same thing in Mark 13:11. "Take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do you premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given to you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak but the Holy Ghost!" Mozart and Blake often felt they weren't pushing their own pens it was the "Muse" singing and pushing.
In another sense spontaneous, or ad lib, artistic writing imitates as best it can the flow of the mind as it moves in its space-time continuum, in this sense, it may really be called Space Age Prose someday because when astronauts are flowing through space and time they too have no chance to stop and reconsider and go back. It may be they won't be reading anything else but spontaneous writing when they do get out there, the science of the language to fit their science of movement ...
To break through the barrier of language with WORDS, you have to be in orbit around your mind, and I may go up again if I regain my strength. It may sound vain but I've been wrestling with this angelic problem with at least as much discipline as Jacob.

A couple of years ago, on my 60th birthday an exhibition of the complete scroll of Kerouac's On The Road typed continually on a roll of butcher paper and edited by hand in pen and ink came to the Governor's Palace in the center of Santa Fe. I remember going in and looking at the long scroll, unwound under glass and feeling tears welling up, I wasn't even conscious of why at the time. Reflecting on this I came to realize that in a sense, this is an American sutra. As a writer and a reader Kerouac's method and approach to the flow of the mind evoked in words opened up the forms of 20th century literature. His sense of adventure, his commitment to the search, his humor and scepticism and compassion toward the whole human race opened the door for the light to enter and transformed a generation ready for the teachings. He and Ginsburgh and all the rest were the leading edge of a culture preparing to break free from the restrictive moorings of its past and its prejudices. I bow to them all.
The Compassionate Buddha, Mentor Edition purchased in the PX in Yokosuka after bringing the Korean War to an end, my first exposure. The great Buddha at Kamakura was within visiting distance, and I recited Namyo Horenge gyo with no idea of what it meant! Yes, I was "On the Road" like Jack Kerouac and the other Beatnics, and attended a lecture by D.T. Suzuki at MCC, Km. 16 across from the Flytrap on the highway to Toluca. Suzuki and Eric Fromm were writing Budismo Zen y Psicoanalists amidst Fromm's zillion orchids in Cuernavaca, while Burroughs was playing William Tell using his wife to support the apple. They had just dressed the Diana on Reforma in that bold movie, and the little man with the bald head had to weather a lot of hoots and catcalls from the not so Buddhist audience until he began to speak, and then you could hear a pin drop. Bridey Murphy was the rage in reincarnation, and that big quake was coming soon, the Angel would fly from her perch atop the Independence Monument. Yes, Kerouac and is Beat spawn were very influential if you were slightly out of step, drinking taros of good, dark Mexican beer at Seps wearing urine-cured leather jackets, and spouting Haiku.
I was a college student in upstate New York during the early 1970s. I was introduced to the idea of buddhism for the first tme when I read Ken Kesey's Electric Koolaid Acid Test and Jack Kerouac's On the Road. These best-sellers were read by many others at the time. Those books gave me a version of buddhism that offered an alternative to religion that seemed to be connected to consciousness, art, and nature.
I attended Naropa Institute in the summer of perhaps 1975 or 1976. Cannot remember. Took a writing class with Ginsberg. It was very interesting. He had Burroughs come in and Corso was around. I somehow ended up at a party where Corso came through. My impressions of him were that he was attention-seeking and boorish. Ginsberg at that time seemed pretty benign. However, my overall impressions from that summer were not favorable, and I was very relieved to leave Boulder and return home. A very bad introduction for me to Buddhism.
Screw Allen Ginsberg - after the Shambhala goons forcibly stripped W.S. Merwin and his girlfriend because Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche wanted to see her naked - google the Naropa Poetry Wars - and there was outrage by a handful of people who cared less about being "spiritual" in Boulder, CO. Allan Ginsberg accused them of "not understanding the wisdom of the East." Yeh right, Allan. I honestly believe that in late 1930s Berlin Allen Ginsberg would have been a Jew who collaborated, all his posturing and posing to the contrary. The first picture I saw of him was him in meditation, beads, etc - posed for the camera - capitalizing on the sacred to draw even more attention to his ego.
I like the beats but I've never liked Allen Ginsburg - commercial "radical" trash in America. A false God, a predatory.
jshanson, anybody could have been a collaborator with Nazi Germany. That is an easy thing to say, entirely hypothetical and no way to prove or disprove. Good grief! I cannot understand how you can "like" the beats but dislike Ginsberg. It was through Ginsberg's tireless promotion of his friends, his efforts to get them published, putting them before himself that created the Beat Generation. I agree that his apology (not the right word, defense maybe?) for Chogyam Trungpa was a big mistake, but he, Ginsberg, was operating under the false assumption that he must surrender everything to his teacher, that his teacher was infallible. Honestly, I cannot even take Chogyam Trungpa seriously after hearing about this incident, and it is a black mark against Ginsberg, but seriously? --posturing and posing? I don't know where to begin with that one. The man whom Norman Mailer called the bravest man in America? Defused tensions with the Hell's Angels, continuously chanting OM to comfort the crowd at the Democratic Convention in Chicago (might there not have been alot more blood spilt that day?), this guy laid it all on the line. I cannot imagine a more generous, big-hearted individual. But, okay, I will stop ranting and admit you are entitled to like or dislike whomever you want, taste is individual, but we all make mistakes, Ginsberg included. Don't take it personally. Later.
In the sixties I was influenced by Kerouac, Ginsberg, Cayce and Ken Kesey, who lived just up the road. I didn't read Siddhartha until the 90's. Funny how we each think our reality is THE reality. What fun to read this and see how our translations of things like the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path have changed over time. Made me stop and consider them anew.
I was exposed to Kerouac, Ginsberg, Snyder, et al in the late sixties while in highschool and have been influenced by them ever since. I have a post card from Ginsberg, dated February 21, 1978, in which he encourages me to look into Buddhism and meditation. I did not follow that advice until many years later, but yes, they influenced me. One of my favorite experiences is listening to AG read Dharma Bums. Hearing his voice pronouncing Kerouac's words is transcendent. Today I treasure the personal note from Ginsberg: "Poems should put you out energetic in your own solitude maybe, rather than be a divisive 'involvement.' Maybe meditation would wipe out the clinging if it is such."
I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, and like most people arround me knew nothing of Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, Edgar Cayce, Dwight Goddard, Allen Ginsburg, Gary Snyder. I know they must have influenced many in north east cities or isolated pockets across US, but I think this influence is somewhat overplayed now in the media. (Personally, I have never met anyone who was influenced--or at least will admit it--by these "icons").
The novel Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, which was very popular in the 1960s, was what drew my interest into Buddhism, as it was for several in the community where I reside also freely admit. Just curious if anyone here on this site was actually introduced to Buddhism by any of these beatnicks or hippies of the last century.
It's been such an interesting revelatory reading, I hope I'll get the chance to read that book myself; it's certainly an eye opener on our existence. No wonder Buddha Maitreya is seen as the wisest figure by Buddhists all over the world.
Hi Rinchen,
I'm sorry to say, there isn't any print function for pieces in our archives. In my experience, printing from the archives often takes a bit of reformatting in a program like microsoft word.
There is a good page printing function in the digital editions of the magazine, but these editions only exist for recent issues (the last 10 or so) so won't be of much help regarding pieces as old as this one.
Is it just me, or was there a Print function at a time, which seems to be gone (gone, all gone) now? In fact, it would be great to be able to read all articles, not just this one, on paper or an e-reader. In both cases, much easier on the eyes, since most e-readers have no backlit screen.
Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, Edgar Cayce, Dwight Goddard, Allen Ginsburg, Gary Snyder: five-hundred...a thousand years from now these names may have become part of a pantheon invoked by American Buddhists as the early, ground-breaking pioneers of the Law in this country.
Very interesting to see the connection between Kerouac and the Dharma, especially vis-a-vis Ginsberg and Cassady. On a related note, I have been involved with a comic project that features cameos in 1964 when Cassady introduced them to Ken Kesey. See Chronicles of Akasha, Issue Three (http://chroniclesofakasha.com).

FOXBORO -- Responsibility for New England's ground game grew for Stevan Ridley after Shane Vereen went on injured reserve. Though they aren't the same kind of player, losing a strong passing back like Vereen has heaped more pressure on Ridley to produce yards.
Brandon Bolden could help the offense. He just needs to get in a game.
The second-year back was inactive for the Patriots' first two games of 2013 with a knee injury. There's been no talk of a timeline, but he said this week that he's definitely making progress.
"I'm doing OK," Bolden said Monday. "Taking it day-to-day, trying to get better. That's just a goal, is to try and get better each and every day, try to not have one good day and one bad day, but string a bunch of good days together."
So has he? The injury and participation report has listed Bolden as "limited" in every regular season practice thus far. Still, he sounds optimistic.
"Things have been going pretty well. Like I said, just trying to get as much done as possible."
Bolden, at 5-11, 220-pounds, is more of a power back like Ridley. The Patriots could only benefit from having another option, however. Thanks to last week's Thursday night game, the team has more preparation time for its September 16 matchup against Tampa Bay. Will the extra days off be enough to push Bolden over the line to activation?
It's possible.
"As of right now, it's a toss-up. I'll go through the week, see how it feels, and we'll find out."

Best Late-Night Menu (2008)
Izakaya Den
Funny thing about Izakaya Den: Owner Toshi Kizaki didn't write the menu for you. He didn't write it for the market, for the scene, for any specific demographic. He came up with the concept, the cuisine, many of the specific menu items to satisfy the wants and needs of one person only: Toshi Kizaki. See, Toshi, who also owns Sushi Den across the street, loves Denver, but he'd long felt that the city was missing a spot where people who work late (like him and cooks in general) could get something to eat. So finally, he just built that spot himself. And lucky for us he did. Because if the late-night crowds at the bar and in the dining room at Izakaya are any indication, there are a lot of people in this city who want to eat exactly like Toshi does: in great volume, with weird juxtapositions (Japanese-Mediterranean fusion) of flavors, and to do so long after the traditional dinner hour has come and gone.

customer reviews for good housekeeping
"best roller shade ever"
By wife lets me do this from
Nice mechanism. Very neutral feel. Always retracts fully. Never slams up if you loose your grip. Almond 5% solar screen offers enough privacy at night and still re-radiates sunlight during the day. I'm very happy with this purchase and would order the same exact shade again. I ordered a matching roman shade for the living room.View this product
"Great replacement for my old panels"
By remodeling from NC
When I moved into my home there was an old panel track system in place over the sliding glass doors in my family. I have never liked them, but I like the panel track system. I was so glad to find your site when looking for replacement panels. I am so glad I decided to replace the whole system. The valance and the bottom detail make these very elegant. They look great.View this product

Out of concern for a depletion in the number of honey bees in recent years, the city of Portland, OR has approved a ban on the use of an insecticide that conservationists say is to blame for killing off the honeymakers, despite protests from some local farmers. [More]
Portland Bans Insecticide Blamed For Decline In Honey Bee Population
Blue & Green Honey Might Look Pretty But Beekeepers Are Miffed At M&M-Related Coloring
At first I was like, "Ooh cool, honey colored like M&Ms!" But then after reading about how that's not good for bees and the honey they make is unsellable, I was like, "Ugh, stupid M&Ms honey." Apiaries in northeastern France are battling a disturbing trend of blue and green honey and blame the phenomenon on nearby biogas plant that's processing waste from containers of the colorful candy.

United States whistleblower Edward Snowden has been inaugurated as the rector of the University of Glasgow.
Snowden appeared on a large screen via video link during his inauguration ceremony in Bute Hall as he addressed students at a Scottish university for the first time since being elected as the institution's rector.
The former National Security Agency (NSA) intelligence officer, who has been given temporary asylum in Russia, thanked students for giving him this "great opportunity" during his speech. In his absence, his ceremonial robes were placed over the back of the empty chair he would have sat in during the inauguration.
Snowden said: "I would like to thank everyone at the University. To the student body, to the SRC, to everyone who participated in the elections.
"I would say it is a great honour to be part of this today.
"We have to remember that human rights are not granted by governments but are inherent to our nature.
"We have to abide by the principles that we cannot merely believe in something, you have to speak out.
"It is these principles that will guide me as rector."
Earlier this year, Snowden said he was "humbled and honoured" after Glasgow University students voted overwhelmingly for him to serve as their rector for the next three years.
Promoted stories
"In a world where so many of our developing thoughts and queries and plans must be entrusted to the open internet, mass surveillance is not simply a matter of privacy, but of academic freedom and human liberty," he said.
He defeated the former champion cyclist Graeme Obree, the author Alan Bissett and the Rev Kelvin Holdsworth, who also stood for the post.
Snowden fled America, via Hong Kong, in May last year having leaked evidence of ¬extensive internet and phone surveillance by US intelligence.
The leaked documents uncovered the existence of numerous global surveillance programs, many of them run by the NSA with the cooperation of telecommunication companies and other governments.
Despite the overwhelming support for him, some university groups campaigned for a rector who would be able to work on campus.
A page on the social networking site Facebook run by university students dedicated to his campaign reflected this view with one posted comment stating: "So he's going to actually say something, and especially to us? Hope he's taken some time to understand the university and its students to be able to say more than "thanks"."
However, others defended Snowden with another post commenting: "Mr Snowden's very election itself is testament to the fact that Glasgow University students need not have someone speak for them, but rather that they can unite and offer a platform to someone whose voice may otherwise not be heard, yet should."
To ensure as many students as possible are able to hear the address, the ceremony will be filmed and screened later in the day on campus.
