Barefoot holy man scoops top prize at Pride in our People Awards
A BAREFOOT holy man, who has dedicated his life to helping the poor, homeless and drug addicted, has won the top prize in our Pride in our People Awards 2011.
Guru Singh, who was nominated by a Southall police chief and many local people for his selfless work for over 20 years, won the Community Champion category and Star of West London award, a total of £1,000 which he plans to put towards a new Food Bank for Ealing.
Overcome with emotion Guru, 65, said: "I didn't expect to win one award, let alone two. I am so pleased but more humbled and grateful that my work is so appreciated."
Insp. Rob Bryan, from Southall police, who nominated him, said: "Guru Singh offers clothes and food to those who have nothing. He helps those who come to the UK hoping for something better but who become trapped in a cycle of poverty. He is seen by many who puts all his time and energies into helping those less able to look after themselves."
This was the eighth year that the Pride in our People awards, held at at the Ramada Jarvis Hotel, Ealing Common last Thursday (16) have been jointly run by the Gazette and Leader and the University of West London.
The winners of the four other categories were: Carl Benjamin (My Hero), Jake Anderson (Young Person), Mary Williams (Key Worker) and London Footwear (Business). They each received £500 and a stunning glass trophy.
Ealing and Acton MP Angie Bray, was so impressed with the winners she has invited them to the House of Commons.
To resounding applause the winners were revealed by our guest celebrity, TV presenter Angellica Bell, who was accompanied by her husband Michael Underwood, who starred twice in Skating on Ice. Angellica, who's father is Ealing Council leader Julian Bell, thanked the Gazette and university for inviting her. She said: "I am amazed at all the great things people do. Well done for all your achievements. You might not think someone notices, but someone does. I am from Ealing and am proud to be from this area. It's shaped me to be the person I am."
Prof Kathryn Mitchell, the university's pro vice chancellor(Academic and Student Services) said: "It's a great honour and privilege to welcome you to this very special occasion. We are extremely proud this is the eighth joint venture for hosting these awards and we want to acknowledge Lynn Grimes for her contribution for the last eight years."
Clare Beckett, head of student recruitment, thanked the sponsors of the prizes: St George, currently building Dickens Yard in Ealing Broadway, Hunter Lodge, university advertising agent and the Impact Group, university shuttle bus provider.

Subscription service coming (no commercials!), also... fill out ipod and bittorrentA lot of people have asked to pay for a commercial free shoutcast station, and I've also heard the same for commercial free browsing.
So... what I'm currently working on is a subscription service for Magnatune that will be tiered something like this (please give feedback, the details are still up on the air)
a) $10 / month - commercial free everything - album streams, genre mix playlists, all 1 hour long podcasts and shoutcast radio. Includes 1 album download a month of our choice.
b) $20 / month - all of (a) plus 2 free album downloads a month of your choice, one free album download a month of our choice. Access to the 3h and 10h long podcasts, good for a working day.
c) $30 / month all of (b) but at 4 free album downloads a month of your choice
d) $50 / month all of (c) plus the right to play our music in your commercial environment to the public (ie, restaurant, cafe, retail shop). Includes an ASCAP/BMI fee waiver, which most retail environments normally have to pay, which typically starts at $150 per quarter.

This is all an outgrowth of another in-progress project, the "fill your ipod" idea, which is:
1) Fill-your-ipod. For $150 we'll give you our entire catalog as VBR-MP3 (or OGG-VORBIS, your choice) which amounts to about 30gb of music. You don't get access to the WAV/FLAC files at this price, but the VBR/OGG files sound awfully good. This works out to a cost of 35 cents per album.
2) To download this much music is not that simple, so we'll give you a choice of a) a bittorrent URL which downloads all the files individually, organized into directories (not zip files) b) or a windows and mac self-executable bittorrent program that automatically runs and downloads the magnatune catalog. This is very handy for people who don't have bittorrent and really looks more like "the magnatune catalog downloading program".
