With the glut of {$B.J. Thomas} greatest-hits packages available, it’s difficult to know what contains the actual hits and what are second-rate re-recordings. Unfortunately, {^Greatest and Latest} falls into the second category. While this compilation mix
Two Ovations albums from the early 1970s, 1972′s Hooked on a Feeling and 1973′s Having a Party, are combined onto one CD with historical liner notes on this U.K. reissue. After moving from the Goldwax label to Sounds of Memphis around the beginning of the 1970s, Hooked on a Feeling was the first of the group’s LPs in the new decade. Featuring their Top 20 R&B single “Touching Me,” it also included all five of their other songs to have seen release on Sounds of Memphis 45s, as well as four other tracks to fill out the program. Sometimes it felt as though the Ovations were being fronted by a Sam Cooke who’d been resurrected to sing lead for a ’70s sweet soul group, so strong was Louis Williams’ resemblance to Cooke in the vocal department. That’s not to say that Williams was in Cooke’s league, or for that matter, that the material was up to the level of Cooke’s classics, only that the similarity is unmistakable even to casual listeners who don’t collect soul records. The record featured fair period soul with backing by the Hi Rhythm Section on the tracks that had been released on singles (though not on the ones done specifically for the LP), with a slicker production than what was usually associated with Memphis soul records of the period. Certainly the Williams-Cooke connection was emphasized in the offbeat gospel medley of “Were You There?” with Cooke’s “Touch the Hem of His Garment.” An additional offbeat selection was a cover of B.J. Thomas’ “Hooked on a Feeling,” another of the cuts that had already been released as a single.Having Ovations lead singer and Sam Cooke-soundalike Louis Williams sing an actual Sam Cooke hit when it came time for their first post-Hooked on a Feeling single seemed like a strategy that was not only obvious, but borderline exploitative. As blunt as it was, however, it was successful, with the Ovations’ “Having a Party” (which also wove in snippets of other Cooke songs) becoming the group’s biggest hit, reaching the Top Ten of the R&B charts. Though not universally known at the time, it was actually a Williams’ solo recording, making it unsurprising that the LP that followed, also called Having a Party, was billed to “the Ovations featuring Louis Williams.” Unsurprisingly, it’s a little different in tone than both its predecessor and the group’s 1960s output, and not only because it spotlights Williams. While Hooked on a Feeling’s sweet soul still bore traces of the group’s Memphis origins, Having a Party was a little more diverse, a little more polished, and a little more anonymous at the same time, and certainly less earthy. There were even pseudo-Caribbean sounds in “Under the Banana Tree,” as well as some strange party-like effects on a few cuts, a cover of the Temptations’ “Don’t Look Back,” and more attempts to riff on the Cooke-Williams connection with covers of Cooke’s “You Send Me” and “A Change Is Gonna Come.” It still didn’t add up to such a good album, as Williams wasn’t a notable interpreter, the non-Cooke

At one time or another, most of us have experienced an all-consuming desire for a material object, a desire so strong that it seems like we couldn`t possibly be happy without buying this thing. Yet, when we give in to this impulse, we often find ourselves feeling frustrated and empty. Advertisers, of course, aim to hook us in this way, and, from a global perspective, our tendency to get hooked fuels the rampant over-consumption that is having a devastating impact on the world`s stability and on the environment. According to the contributors to this unique anthology, Buddhism can shed valuable light on our compulsions to consume. Craving and attachment—how they arise and how to free ourselves of them—are central themes of Buddhist thought. The writings in this volume, most of which have never been previously published, offer fresh perspectives and much-needed correctives to our society`s tendency to believe that having more will make us happier. Hooked! includes a range of writings on how to apply Buddhist thought and ethics to understand and combat the problem of over-consumption as individuals and collectively. Contributors include popular Western teachers, Asian masters, scholars, and practitioners such as: Pema Chvdrvn—on what is actually happening at the moment we`re "hooked," and how to get beyond that. Joseph Goldstein—on how mindfulness training can help us stop "wanting to want." Bhikshuni Thubten Chvdrvn—on how consumer mentality influences spiritual practice. Judith Simmer-Brown—on how cultivating spiritually based activism and compassionate action can help us address the negative effects of consumerism. Rita Gross—on how understanding moderation can curb overconsumption. Santikaro Bhikkhu—on practicing generosity in a consumer world.

There is nothing like the heady feeling of having the world at your fingertips.

It will present a balanced, practical approach to using technology without losing control. Real-life cautionary tales will be presented along with biblical applications and advice.The book is written in a conversational style, with an extended section at the back of each chapter for self-reflection and personal examination.

We are all hooked on the same set of tactics to help us feel good about ourselves, most of which have no lasting effect. To achieve sustainable self esteem, the first step is to become more aware of how our usual tactics are self-defeating.
Your Unproductive Self Esteem Building Tactics
1. Feast on bad news about other people. The media feeds us universally bad news because it meets our deep need to feel good about ourselves. Seeing other people suffering makes us feel that we are not as bad off as we think. When we see people in California lose their homes to fire, we feel that, however hard up we are, they are worse off. We feign sympathy while inwardly feeling relief.
2. Criticize other people or find ways to put them down. A common way to pump ourselves up is to gloat over the stupidity of others. As angry as the mistakes of others make us, we would be lost without them. We need their mistakes to realize that surely WE are not that stupid.
3. Win as many arguments as you can. Being right is a good way to score points, if only to convince yourself that you are better than the other person. It doesn’t really matter if you distort the facts or overlook some inconvenient truths, as long as you can convince yourself and your opponent that you know best.
4. Be quick to spot how people differ from you. Despite sharing 98% of our genes with chimpanzees, we can spot how people differ from us more quickly than an eagle can spot a mouse. Differences automatically mean inferiority in others and superiority in us. Looking for things we have in common with other people does nothing for our self esteem, so why bother?
5. Align yourself closely to a select group – community, political party, ethnic group, religion, club, nation, age group or racial category. Just as we identify with winners in sports, we need us-them relationships with other groups to feel superior.
6. Exaggerate someone’s faults. The greater someone else’s faults appear, the more faultless you can regard yourself.
7. Blame someone else, circumstances or bad luck whenever something goes wrong to take the heat off yourself.
We are hooked on these tactics because they give us the same quick fix we get from food, drugs and alcohol. Equally, they give no lasting boost to our self esteem.
Why We Feel Bad About Ourselves
Our search for more productive ways of building self esteem must begin by recognizing the self-defeating habits listed above. Next we need to understand why we feel bad about ourselves in the first place. Here are some of the most common reasons why we don’t always like ourselves:
1. We’re not sufficiently aware of our strengths and daily good deeds because they come naturally to us so we discount them by saying “Surely, anybody can do that!” The things we are good at, enjoy doing or find easy to do are indicative of strengths but we discount them as strengths precisely because they are easy for us.
2. Similarly, we overlook how much we have got to be happy about (like Just Being alive) and focus primarily on what we haven’t got.
3. We compare ourselves with unrealistic role models thanks to media attention constantly paid to the rich and famous.
4. We get more negative than positive feedback because people react to what annoys them. People want to focus on their own needs. As long as no one bothers them, they don’t notice good deeds unless they are remarkable. But as soon as you do something that distracts them from themselves, they turn nasty and put you in your place. No wonder you see yourself as a bad person.
5. We compare how we feel with how everyone around us behaves. If they seem OK, we feel worse because we think we are the only ones with bad feelings.
6. Some parents idolize their children, making them think they are invincible and setting high, unrealistic expectations for them, thereby unwittingly setting them up to fail. Conversely, some parents go to the other extreme and see their children as never doing anything right.
7. We quickly forget our successes and good fortune. Even if we win the lottery, six months later we return to our normal state of dissatisfaction.
This list is not exhaustive, but there are enough reasons here to be down on ourselves. You likely have your own unique reasons to beat yourself up.
Twelve Ways to Build Sustainable Self Esteem
1. Monitor yourself closely to avoid self-defeating tactics and short term fixes.
2. Engineer more positive feedback for yourself by focusing a lot more attention on meeting the needs of others. Enough people will show appreciation if you do nice things for them to help you feel good about yourself. This is also about taking the focus off yourself, being less self-absorbed.
3. Recognize that everyone has similar fears, anxieties and low self esteem and that you have the power to make them feel better about themselves. Helping others is a sure way to feel good about yourself.
4. When you catch yourself thinking or saying something negative about people, force yourself to list a comparable number of positive facts about them.
5. When you want to disagree with someone, begin by stating a few aspects of their position that are agreeable to you.
6. Become more aware of your strengths and daily good deeds. Stop taking them for granted just because they are easy for you to do.
7. Instead of placing blame, focus on the future, and ask yourself: “What can I do differently to improve this situation?” Take ownership. By placing blame, you disempower yourself. While you may feel better immediately by getting your anger off your chest, it never helps. in the longer term, to feel disempowered.
8. Meet regularly with your team, boss or colleagues and review what went well since you last met. Most meetings focus on problems, creating a negative atmosphere.
9. Compare yourself with realistic role models and set realistic goals for yourself.
10. Regularly remind yourself of your good fortune, the reasons you have to be happy.
11. Be active. Practical action is better than excessive soul searching. Too much introspection breeds discontent and self-doubt.
12. Spend more time with upbeat friends, less with those who are overly negative.
