Julia Morgan was the first female to graduate Berkeley's Civil Engineering and she was the first female architect in California. She designed more than 700 buildings in California during a long and prolific career. She is best known for her work as architect and construction manager of Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California.
We hope to inspire girls (and boys) about careers in the construction industry. We invite industry professionals to talk about their career choice at our high school Julia Morgan Clubs. We hold events that allow students to learn about the abundance and depth of careers in construction, engineering and architecture and see the professionalism and technology of our industry.

Title: Broadchuch: Sins Of The Father
Date of commencement: September 22 2013
Date of completion: December 24 2014
Series: Broadchurch, a sequel to the original, and following on from Life Without Joe
Rating: M
Authors: tkel_paris and tardis_mole
Summary: Two years after Danny's death, life is slowly getting back to normal in Broadchurch. But Hardy's happy life is about to be turned upside down by a spectre from the past he had hoped had been laid to rest. Someone from his past wants to talk to him, someone wants revenge, someone wants to see him ruined. But it's not one 'someone'. But first, he must face the girl in his garden.
Disclaimer: We own nothing, but this is based on Broadchurch by Chris Chibnal, with added clues from the novel by Erin Kelly. We gain no financial benefit nor gratuities, only the enjoyment from writing and working together on this epic journey, shared for the enjoyment of others.
Dedication: Chris Chibnal, long time friend. bas_math_girl, for her beta. And each other for hopefully not ruining each other's lives for too long during the writing part.
Warning: If you have not watched Broadchurch in its entirety, do not read this. We mean it. You will be spoiled. Stop and go back. Now. Ideally you have seen the entire show, not just what was aired on BBC America if you live on that side of the pond, but this is understandable in either case. Also, if you have not read tardis_mole's Life Without Joe, that's okay. It's possible to read this without reading that, if you're not on Moley's approved list. You'll probably find this makes a little more sense if you have read it, but you should be fine without it. Take the time to read Erin Kelly's novelization, if you can, as it provided certain details that helped with writing this. Though you won't need to rely on it.
Authors' Notes: See Episode One, Part One. They're a bit long to include in each post.
Episode Three. Part Four: Feeling Denatured
Hardy returned to the station. He spoke to no one beyond a 'hi' when one was offered. He was shaken and fuming at the same time. Now that he was here he realised he should have come the long way around and taken longer to get back. He was no longer panicked or desperate or upset, but he was angrier now than when he had left.
He stepped quietly into the room, casting a long glance around the room. Nothing was amiss. No one looked at him as if they thought he shouldn't be there. In fact, the complete opposite; the faces that looked in his direction were all of wishing he could help or wishing they could help.
Ellie's expression was one of deep concern. It was the look she had given him when he had had the heart attack. He'd rather not think about that night. He sighed loudly. Her face just made him feel all the worse. He imagined punching something. He felt like he needed to, but even now he doubted his heart could take that kind of stress. Despite the pace-maker.
He had been gone for at least a couple of hours. He supposed a lot could have happened in that time. But why was the room so empty? Where was a case board? And why was everyone so quiet?
The Chief Super appeared. He still wondered why she was back so soon. He had expected her to be gone for another week or more.
"Hardy," Elaine noted. "Step inside," she indicated his office with a hand.
Hardy did so without question. At least he wasn't being called into her office. He would have met that request with a lot more dread. Jenkinson was a woman of mettle and tight control. He had only even heard her raise her voice once, and that was today. From what he had heard from colleagues who had been stationed here longer, he had to assume it was the first time they had heard her raise her voice as well.
Hardy stood in his office, standing by the corner of his desk, wondering if he should bother sitting down. If she was going to take his warrant, he might as well remain standing. He heard her shut the door behind her and carefully lifted his gaze.
Elaine held his gaze. "I am not going to order your next move, but I would like you to hand over all files and documents relevant to the Luiz Gotleib murder," she spoke.
"I'm surprised you didn't just come in here and taken them," he revealed.
"When I said orders from above, that was the truth. But I did not agree with the decision. I want you to know that. In all my years on the Force I have never had the privilege of working with a finer DI than you. I trust your judgement, your work is exemplary, your eye for detail legendary and your rapport with the troops, uniform and plainclothes, is second to none."
Hardy blinked in surprise. That was a rather impressive list of compliments. "I hear a 'but' in there," he noted slowly.
"I'm combining the murder cases," she told him simply. "That is where the 'orders from above' comes in."
He frowned. "What? I know I said the cases were connected, but-"
"The latest details seem to agree with your hunch."
"Then put me on the joint team," he asked. "I can solve this case."
"I don't doubt you or your ability, Hardy."
"Then why are you taking me off the case?"
"Because you have no alibi for the first attack and no alibi for the third."
Hardy's jaw dropped. He sucked in a breath, suddenly finding it difficult to breathe. He leaned on the desk, feeling faint. "You're accusing or implying I had something to do with murder and rape," he spoke, his eyes on the desk, trying to find some ounce of strength to get through this. He looked up. "Am I being arrested? Are you asking me to leave the force? Is that it?"
Elaine shook her head. "Not me."
"Orders from above," he repeated, feeling empty.
"And there's another matter," she added. "Phone calls came in while you were out. Members of the public have said you were seen in an altercation with a woman and a man down on the Esplanade. One caller even said it looked as though you were attempting to snatch a child."
He shook his head numbly. "No. No. no. no. That's not what happened. I swear, that's not what happened! I never touched the boy! He ran up to me!"
"I believe you," Elaine assured him. "Did you shout at him?"
"No. If anyone raised their voice, the boy did. And then the mother had a go at me and then the father took a turn; he threatened me."
"Do you know the boy?"
"Only vaguely," he said. "He's my ex-wife's son. He seemed to think that I was his father."
"Are you?"
"No, and I proved that a long time ago, shortly after he was born. I haven't seen him since he was two years old."
"One caller said the woman threatened to accuse you of child molesting."
Hardy's eyes darkened with quiet rage, a rage that boiled beneath his now calm exterior. That got the Chief Super's attention.
"What did you say to them? Tell me, in your words, what happened."
Hardy slid into his seat with a heavy breath. It's not like he had had long enough to forget. And it was best to offload here before it was spread by the rumour mill, or worse the town. Though, on that point, he doubted he had any say in the matter.
"I left here and went for chips. I decided to walk off my emotions. Can't say it worked. I was trying to work out some details about the second murder, something I missed. And as I drew level to the deckchair kiosk at the end of the Esplanade I saw my ex-wife. She was sitting on the sand while a man was towering over her," he recalled quietly, slipping into the narrative of his memory. "He was verbally abusing her, and I tried to care. I recognised his face but I didn't recall his name. He works in the genetics lab in Sandbrook. I watched them, wondering if he was going to lay into her. If he did I'd be in a perfect place to stop him. Call it instinct. I'm a policeman, after all. And then, Ben jumped up and came rushing towards me, called me 'Daddy', and hugged my leg. Tess hurried up to pull him off me, told him off. And then she realised it was me. I was more concerned about dropping my hot chips on him than anything. "I told her I'd thought I'd seen her a few days ago and now I could confirm I hadn't been hallucinating.
"Ben kept wanting to tell me something, but she told him to be quiet. She was holding his hand so tight it was hurting him. Tess demanded to know what I was doing here. I told her I worked here. She seemed surprised, but I know her. I was married to her for sixteen years. She knew I was here. She noticed my wedding ring, wanted to know who my wife was. I didn't tell her. I said 'and that matters to you?'; I couldn't help myself, confronting her as much as she was confronting me. I have a feeling she's here to find out who I married, cause trouble. She was defensive, jealous and adversarial. She said 'I can't believe anyone would have you'. I told her she was insulting herself. I asked her where Daisy was. She refused to answer, but said she was with them. She said Daisy was fine without me."
Hardy felt his chin wobble and felt his breath snag in his throat as the emotions bubbled closer to he surface. "I wish I could ask Daisy that, to be sure for myself, but she wasn't there. Ben told me Daisy misses me. Called me Daddy again. Tess slapped him, told him to be quiet, told him that he wasn't to talk to strangers. I felt so hurt by that. I set out to prove he wasn't mine, but... All that's happened, all that time, and the pain just came flooding back. And I was angry. She accused me of following her here. And then she accused me of having a breakdown, said my heart attack was fake. I calmly told her I hadn't had a breakdown, and that my heart attack was real. I don't know how I was so calm. I told her I'd had a pace-maker fitted and nearly died. I think that scared Ben a bit. I don't like scaring kids."
He paused, suddenly amused. "The boy looked so angelic, looking at me, so innocent and so surprised that I had nearly died. I told him I was fine. And he said, 'that's good, I can tell Daisy that I've seen you'. Tess again reprimanded him for talking to me. And then her partner turned up, demanding to know who I was. I told him I was certain he knew who I was, since we'd met in Sandbrook, said I couldn't remember his name. He told me his name was Bruce Stratton and then told me that I was to leave Tess and the kids alone. I didn't like his attitude, but I kept that to myself."
"Were you jealous of him?" Elaine suddenly asked.
Hardy was startled by the question and the spell was broken. "No. No, I wasn't jealous. How could I be? He's not very nice. And besides, I know he's not the one Tess left me for. But she's obviously not with that man now either." He drew a deep breath, feeling the emotions drain away, leaving him far more relaxed. "I told him I had no argument with him, and that if it was up to me I'd never see him or Tess again. But I wanted to see my daughter. I was awarded that right by the courts, but Tess stopped all that, in retaliation for demanding a DNA test on her baby. I asked her outright if she had taken Daisy's phone, because I know my daughter hated phones, but she would have replied. Tess told me to mind my own business, said Daisy was far too young to have a phone. I told her that there was no other way to maintain contact. She told me she didn't want me anywhere near Daisy."
He sobbed unexpectedly and turned away, looking at his hands still on the desk. "She said Daisy was her daughter, as if I'd had no part in her conception. She said I was soft in the head and too busy with my eyes elsewhere, like I'd cheated on her. I denied any such wrongdoing. She said my wedding ring was proof that I had. I reminded her that she was the one who'd walked out on our marriage, not me. She had made living with her so untenable. She accused me of getting her pregnant on purpose to ruin her career. I told her that we were a family that she had ruined that far more than having children had ever done. I told her the day she refused to pass on Daisy's birthday present when she turned thirteen that she had harmed Daisy emotionally with her constant shouting at me. She called me a scheming liar today, just like then. She didn't believe that I worked in Broadchurch, but believed I'd followed her here, said I was sick in the head with delusions. She threatened me, said if I didn't stay away from Daisy she would have me arrested for child molesting and kidnapping, said she'd make the charges stick, practically shouted it loud enough for the entire town to hear."
His voice petered out to nothing. He sat for several seconds, trying very hard not to give in to the tears that filled his eyes.
"Has it been proven that he's not your son?" Elaine asked.
Hardy nodded, for a moment not trusting his voice. "Yeah. But for a long time I was hoping it would actually come back as a positive match, so I could pretend Tess's affair hadn't happened." He took several even breaths. "I wanted kids, always have, but she didn't. I lived through the hell of her verbal abuse while she was pregnant about ruining her career, and I shielded my daughter as best I could from her abuse for the years that followed. I couldn't go through that again. By the time Daisy was six I'd gone for a vasectomy; scheduled it for a day off. Had it done on the Friday and was back at work on the Monday. I didn't tell her. So when she told me she was pregnant I knew it wasn't mine. I told her so. And I proved that the baby wasn't mine with a DNA test as soon as he was born. She threw me out then. There I was; my personal life in tatters and the biggest case of my career thrown out of court by a robbery and my wife had run off with a colleague. I was sleeping rough and suspended from duty. I confronted her today for telling the boy that I was his dad when I know for a fact that he isn't."
"Witnesses said you picked the boy up."
"I didn't pick him up," he said. "She did. But she put him down again. His wriggling seemed to aggravate some injury to her leg. She was limping awkwardly."
"You do understand that I have no choice but to follow up these allegations?"
Hardy nodded. "I'm finished."
"Not so fast-"
"Sir, you know as well as I do, an accusation of this kind doesn't need an arrest or a conviction. It just needs a mention and it's logged on the permanent record as a crime. My career is over."
"I have never seen you give up, Hardy. What's changed?"
Hardy looked at her, his eyes wet with unshed tears. "My daughter is out there. I've been told that by a man who had given the police reliable information before that her friends are being picked off, one by one, and she could be next. That's what's changed. Every other case I've handled it's always been strangers, people I don't know and never heard of. This is different. She's my daughter, my flesh and blood."
"And Pippa Gilespie? She wasn't a stranger," Elaine pointed out.
Hardy sank in realisation. One of the girls from the Sandbrook case. His daughter's school friend from years ago. He had never had the heart to tell Daisy why her friend never answered her letters anymore. How could he tell her that and then follow it by telling her he couldn't catch the killer, because her mother had been in another man's bed and had the evidence stolen from her bag? Daisy had been through enough from her own mother to have gone through the hell of finding out her friend had been murdered and then having to face the media on top. He had begged Tess to move away, to keep Daisy out of the spotlight while he took the blame. Tess had called him an arrogant arse, but the house had been emptied days later, so he had had to assume she had at least taken his advice. And now she had turned up, for reasons unknown.
"I need all remaining files on Luiz Gotleib," Elaine said again.
Hardy knew he had no choice. He glanced at the room behind her where the other detectives were working away, probably giving his office covert glances every now and then, waiting for him to be sacked, waiting to guess his fate or anything else. Maybe the murmurs had already started. Although Ellie would nip that in the bud, just as he had done for her when her husband had been arrested for murder.
"I have no alibi," he recalled. "Except for the fact that I was here when Luiz Gotleib was attacked. I was home, in bed with my wife and Sarah Wallace was murdered and eating dinner with my children and Louise Dusk was raped. But a few untrue comments from passers-by and suddenly I'm in the frame for a string of crimes I have tried to get you to accept as one and the same case."
Alec kept his expression controlled as he unlocked his desk drawer and lifted out the file. Inside the photographs had been carefully attached to the relevant witness statements. Statements and scene of crime reports her neatly stacked together for clarity, while his notes were at the back. He pushed it across the table to her. And he would not wait for her to ask, he would volunteer it. He unclipped his ID tag and took out his warrant wallet from his inside jacket pocket and laid them on top of the folder.
Nothing more needed to be said. He pushed the chair back and rose to his feet. "May I leave now, sir?" he asked.
Elaine was stunned, but she said nothing about it. "You may go," she replied.
There was no anger, unlike the previous time he had walked out. There were no personal items on his desk, so he had nothing to clear out or take with him. He would simply walk away from everything he knew and loved, everything he had worked for and lived for.
"You'll be back on duty in no time," she assured him.
Hardy doubted it. He wished he could find out who had called the station and made such outrageous accusations. But he supposed that investigation, like the string of murders, would be someone else's case now. He left the building at once, got into his car and drove away.

Your rental offer is accepted!
On acceptance of your offer on a property an administration fee is required enabling the property to be withdrawn from the market subject to contract and satisfactory references. References must be completed within 48 hours. This fee is non-refundable if you change your mind, application is not completed in agreed time scale or references prove unsuccessful. All properties are let ŌĆ£as seenŌĆØ any requests regarding the presentation of the property or fixtures and fittings must be made and agreed in writing between us before the Tenancy agreement is signed.
Right to Rent
The Immigration Act 2014 now makes it a legal requirement for landlords and letting agents to perform basic ŌĆśimmigration status checksŌĆÖ on all prospective tenants and permitted occupants over the age of 18 before allowing them to sign a tenancy agreement. These checks are required regardless of whether the prospective tenant(s) are UK citizens or not, and usually require nothing more than a simple passport check if youŌĆÖre a UK or European citizen, or a simple visa/ permit check.
Proof of residency will also be required and this can be a bank statement or a utility bill which is less than three months old. Other forms of ID/ documents may be accepted with prior consent.
Are independently assessed by a credit referencing agency and you will be required to complete an on-line application usual checks consist of:
Credit check for any adverse credit including county court judgements, IVAs and bankruptcies.
Landlord reference ŌĆō this will check for any late rent payments, arrears and if you were a responsible tenant.
Confirmation of your income ŌĆō (at least 2.5 x the annual rent) ŌĆō this will need to be verified by an employer or accountant. Zero hour contracts, probationary periods and contracts that do not exceed the tenancy length will not be taken into account. Other means of income such as pensions or savings will be considered. Please advise the relevant people that they may be contacted for a reference.
In some cases due to insufficient income or financial history a guarantor may be required. The same references will be carried out on the guarantor although the income will need to be verified at least 3 x the annual rent. They will be responsible for the full amount of the rent if you are unable to pay at any time during the tenancy also for any breach during the tenancy term. They will be required to sign a Deed of Guarantee and or the Tenancy Agreement and they will need to provide the necessary ID and proof of residency.
Permission needs to be granted for pets to be kept at the property. If this is obtained an additional tenancy deposit may be required, this may vary according to the number and size of pets. A figure will be agreed and confirmed in writing prior to the preparation of the tenancy agreement. An addendum will be added to the contract stating that the flooring must be professionally cleaned and fumigated at the end of the tenancy.
Security Deposit
In line with current legislation regarding tenancy deposits we are members of two Governments approved schemes, details will be set out in your tenancy agreement. The amount required is equivalent to one monthŌĆÖs rent plus ┬Ż200.00. If an additional deposit is required it will be confirmed in writing before references are submitted. The amount is lodged as security against damage not considered fair wear and tear. This is payable prior to the start date of your contract in cleared funds. These monies cannot be used for payment of rent. If there are rent arrears at the time of your check out formal action will be taken through the courts to recover unpaid rent.
Tenancy Agreement
Once satisfactory references have been obtained we will notify you and prepare the tenancy agreement and all relevant paperwork required for you to sign on the agreed move in date. This date will also be your rental due date as stated in the tenancy agreement which also allows for interest to be charged on late payments. It will detail how long you can occupy the property for. It is a legally binding contract, once you have read it and agreed the contents and signed it you are bound to pay the rent and behave in a certain way. Responsibilities include keeping the property clean and for doing those minor jobs which a homeowner would normally do.
Rent Payments
Rent is payable in advance and needs to be in our account on the rent due date as stated in your Tenancy Agreement. You will be required to set up a standing order mandate, we advise you to have this set up 3 days prior to your rent date to ensure rent is paid on time. Standing orders are your instructions to your bank, Jeffries Lettings Ltd cannot adjust or cancel these. If the date is not in line with your salary payment it is your responsibility to make sure that the monies are set aside to cover the payment.
Depending on the service we are providing for the landlord an external inventory company will be used to produce an inventory which will detail the condition and contents of the property. This is used to determine any damages which you may be charged for at the end of your tenancy. Whilst a degree of ŌĆśwear and tearŌĆÖ is to be expected, damages which include dirt and dust which was not present at the commencement of the tenancy will be your liability. Before putting any belongings into the property, the inventory needs to be checked room by room and any amendments noted. You will need to sign a declaration to confirm the condition and contents.
Check out
If an inventory has been provided you will be liable for the check-out fee. A property clerk will attend the property to check the condition against the original inventory. The cost of any damage or missing items not to be considered fair wear and tear, will be assessed and upon agreement deducted from your security deposit and the balance returned to you.
If you wish to make any alterations to the tenancy after the commencement a fee will be charged. This will also be chargeable if you change the start date as the documentation will require amending.
Renewal fee
If you and your landlord agreed to renew the contract a fee will be payable to produce the appropriate paperwork. If rent has been paid in advance, the renewal will be under the same terms unless suitable references are obtained to confirm monthly rent payment. The fee for re-referencing will be ┬Ż96.00 Including VAT per person and per guarantor.
Methods of payment
UK debit card or bank transfer. Please note that we do not accept cash at any of our branches.

Wow — your timing couldn't be better. I teach 7th grade Social Studies. I'm meeting the school librarian and LA teacher for lunch & movie in 5 minutes. I'll be sharing this with them.March 26, 2012

Though I'm not a classroom teacher, I work in the administrative offices at Maize and I totally agree that we need use pop culture when appropriate as a means to teach! Capturing children's attention is a large portion of getting them involved and if they relate to this – I say "awesome". You still need to read this book! What great discussions you and your daughter can have. The questions/views that you can add to the discussion that will broaden her horizons, but I think you already know that! My children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and many, many friends have read this and many great conversations have occurred as a result.
Hmmm… what really led up to that revolution? Then I think of our current political crisis' and frustrations of many citizens and wonder, " are we headed to a similar situation". Could this be a current events topic? How do we prevent such an uprising? Food for thought!March 30, 2012
Amazing resources, thanks for sharing. This is extremely helpful as we are curriculum mapping.
KimApril 14, 2012
Thank you for these worksheets. I agree that sometimes you just have to use what works!
I also have to say, I saw the movie, and I was not impressed. I happened to pick up the book while I was at a friend's house, and I couldn't put it down until I finished it. I've now read all 3 of the books, and I've read each one in a day. Yes, they are easy reads, but they're also really hard to put down. It's just my opinion, but I think you should read the first 25 pages of the first book, then see what you think.January 19, 2013

AceShowbiz - Life does imitate art for %cKristin Davis%. Taking the cue from Charlotte York, her character on "Sex and the City", the 46-year-old actress welcomed a baby girl through domestic adoption a few months ago. When sharing the happy news, she revealed that she named the new addition to her home Gemma Rose Davis.
Speaking of the adoption, the global ambassador for Oxfam and patron for the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust told PEOPLE, "This is something I have wanted for a very long time." She went on to say,"Having this wish come true is even more gratifying than I ever had imagined. I feel so blessed."
Kristin isn't the only Hollywood celebrity who has adopted a child. %cAngelina Jolie% has three adopted children from three completely different countries, while %cDenise Richards% and %cMariska Hargitay% have each added a daughter from the United States to their families. Denise brought home Eloise Joni Richards, while Mariska welcomed Amaya Josephine.

By walking rue de la Sourdière on a fine April day, Thomas Erber discovers laContrie and his workshop.By digging little, he will notice that it is Edwina, the former editor-in-chief of Paris Dernière, who worked so sometimes on his emission PINK, cofounded with Isis and spread on France 2. He becomes a big fan from the first hour, and laContrie will participate in his from now on famous Cabinets de Curiosités.
Always between two planes, Thomas tried for a long time to realize a passport-holder. Thus it is quite naturally that he turns to Edwina. They create together the model Turbigo.
The Turbigo in light blue calfskin and gray goat is sewn by hand of a black linen thread. Each piece is totally handmade 11 rue de la Sourdière, Paris 1st.This passport holder is limited to 10, and will be exclusively sold at colette starting the 1st of February 2017.

US President Donald Trump did not donate his February paycheck to a charitable cause because he plans to donate his entire salary at the end of the year, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said at his press briefing on Monday.
Trump's presidential salary of $400,000 is roughly 0.01% of his net worth, which Forbes estimates to be some $4.5 billion. It would be the equivalent of the average American donating $30, when calculated based on average US net worth figures published by Credit Suisse in 2014.
"The president's intention right now is to donate his salary at the end of the year and he has kindly asked that you all [White House Press Corps] determine where that goes," Spicer stated.
The multi-billionaire will be the third US president to have foregone his salary. Former President John F. Kennedy donated his salary to charity and Herbert Hoover reportedly donated half his salary to charity and the other half to boosting staff compensation, according to the Intendent Journal Review.
In September of 2015, Trump promised he would not take a salary if elected President.

Still so very busy around here. A friend told me about a local, monthly market so I'll be vendor there on February 14th. So if you're local or just visiting, please stop by and say hello! I've got tons of fiber, roving, and yarn for your petting pleasure (but if you drool on it, you have to pay for it).
Monthly Archives: January 2009
Streetwalkers and Buttsocks equal a very busy New Year
It's late, but Happy New Year! I'm almost sad, the holidays came and went so fast, but they can't last forever (especially that stomach virus I picked up, thanks goodness).
Dyeing has picked up considerably and Wee One's fifth birthday is just a few days away. We're heading down to Disney World and Sea World to celebrate with friends. Another reason I've been dyeing like there's no tomorrow, as well as my very first craft show/market/bazaar is coming up in February. I'm excited and nervous. It's a local market bazaar which should make good for getting my feet wet.
The To Dye For! Sock Club members have been receiving their first batch of yarn and so far, so good! It is such a relief to see that everyone has enjoyed the colorway they have received. I think I read far too many sock club drama threads on Ravelry and was emotionally preparing myself for failure. SCORE! I'm not full of fail!
I have finished some knitting projects, but have been putting off photographing due to the crappy weather we've been experiencing.
I'm off to wind more yarn, but have some eye candy!
(Here is the new yarn in my Etsy Shop: Streetwalker Sock; 60% Superwash Merino/20% Cashmere/20% Nylon; 390 yards/90 grams)

"As you please," the venerable one spoke politely.
"Too bold is my speech," Siddhartha continued, "but I do not want to leave the exalted one without having honestly told him my thoughts. Does it please the venerable one to listen to me for one moment longer?"
Silently, the Buddha nodded his approval.
Quoth Siddhartha: "One thing, oh most venerable one, I have admired in your teachings most of all. Everything in your teachings is perfectly clear, is proven; you are presenting the world as a perfect chain, a chain which is never and nowhere broken, an eternal chain the links of which are causes and effects. Never before, this has been seen so clearly; never before, this has been presented so irrefutably; truly, the heart of every Brahman has to beat stronger with love, once he has seen the world through your teachings perfectly connected, without gaps, clear as a crystal, not depending on chance, not depending on gods. Whether it may be good or bad, whether living according to it would be suffering or joy, I do not wish to discuss, possibly this is not essential — but the uniformity of the world, that everything which happens is connected, that the great and the small things are all encompassed by the same forces of time, by the same law of causes, of coming into being and of dying, this is what shines brightly out of your exalted teachings, oh perfected one. But according to your very own teachings, this unity and necessary sequence of all things is nevertheless broken in one place, through a small gap, this world of unity is invaded by something alien, something new, something which had not been there before, and which cannot be demonstrated and cannot be proven: these are your teachings of overcoming the world, of salvation. But with this small gap, with this small breach, the entire eternal and uniform law of the world is breaking apart again and becomes void. Please forgive me for expressing this objection."
Quietly, Gotama had listened to him, unmoved. Now he spoke, the perfected one, with his kind, with his polite and clear voice: "You've heard the teachings, oh son of a Brahman, and good for you that you've thought about it thus deeply. You've found a gap in it, an error. You should think about this further. But be warned, oh seeker of knowledge, of the thicket of opinions and of arguing about words. There is nothing to opinions, they may be beautiful or ugly, smart or foolish, everyone can support them or discard them. But the teachings, you've heard from me, are no opinion, and their goal is not to explain the world to those who seek knowledge. They have a different goal; their goal is salvation from suffering. This is what Gotama teaches, nothing else."
"I wish that you, oh exalted one, would not be angry with me," said the young man. "I have not spoken to you like this to argue with you, to argue about words. You are truly right, there is little to opinions. But let me say this one more thing: I have not doubted in you for a single moment. I have not doubted for a single moment that you are Buddha, that you have reached the goal, the highest goal towards which so many thousands of Brahmans and sons of Brahmans are on their way. You have found salvation from death. It has come to you in the course of your own search, on your own path, through thoughts, through meditation, through realizations, through enlightenment. It has not come to you by means of teachings! And — thus is my thought, oh exalted one, — nobody will obtain salvation by means of teachings! You will not be able to convey and say to anybody, oh venerable one, in words and through teachings what has happened to you in the hour of enlightenment! The teachings of the enlightened Buddha contain much, it teaches many to live righteously, to avoid evil. But there is one thing which these so clear, these so venerable teachings do not contain: they do not contain the mystery of what the exalted one has experienced for himself, he alone among hundreds of thousands. This is what I have thought and realized, when I have heard the teachings. This is why I am continuing my travels — not to seek other, better teachings, for I know there are none, but to depart from all teachings and all teachers and to reach my goal by myself or to die. But often, I'll think of this day, oh exalted one, and of this hour, when my eyes beheld a holy man."
The Buddha's eyes quietly looked to the ground; quietly, in perfect equanimity his inscrutable face was smiling.
"I wish," the venerable one spoke slowly, "that your thoughts shall not be in error, that you shall reach the goal! But tell me: Have you seen the multitude of my Samanas, my many brothers, who have taken refuge in the teachings? And do you believe, oh stranger, oh Samana, do you believe that it would be better for them all the abandon the teachings and to return into the life the world and of desires?"
"Far is such a thought from my mind," exclaimed Siddhartha. "I wish that they shall all stay with the teachings, that they shall reach their goal! It is not my place to judge another person's life. Only for myself, for myself alone, I must decide, I must chose, I must refuse. Salvation from the self is what we Samanas search for, oh exalted one. If I merely were one of your disciples, oh venerable one, I'd fear that it might happen to me that only seemingly, only deceptively my self would be calm and be redeemed, but that in truth it would live on and grow, for then I had replaced my self with the teachings, my duty to follow you, my love for you, and the community of the monks!"
With half of a smile, with an unwavering openness and kindness, Gotama looked into the stranger's eyes and bid him to leave with a hardly noticeable gesture.
"You are wise, oh Samana.", the venerable one spoke.
"You know how to talk wisely, my friend. Be aware of too much wisdom!"
The Buddha turned away, and his glance and half of a smile remained forever etched in Siddhartha's memory.
I have never before seen a person glance and smile, sit and walk this way, he thought; truly, I wish to be able to glance and smile, sit and walk this way, too, thus free, thus venerable, thus concealed, thus open, thus child-like and mysterious. Truly, only a person who has succeeded in reaching the innermost part of his self would glance and walk this way. Well so, I also will seek to reach the innermost part of my self.
I saw a man, Siddhartha thought, a single man, before whom I would have to lower my glance. I do not want to lower my glance before any other, not before any other. No teachings will entice me any more, since this man's teachings have not enticed me.
I am deprived by the Buddha, thought Siddhartha, I am deprived, and even more he has given to me. He has deprived me of my friend, the one who had believed in me and now believes in him, who had been my shadow and is now Gotama's shadow. But he has given me Siddhartha, myself.

According to Siddhartha, knowledge can come from teachers, but wisdom must come from

Lenovo buys Motorola Mobility Smartphone Division from Google for $2.91 billion.
In a press release issued today, Lenovo has announced that they have come to terms with Google Inc for the purchase of Motorola Mobility.
The press release states that Lenovo will pay $2.91 billion, including US$1.41 billion paid at close, comprised of US$660 million in cash and US$750 million in Lenovo ordinary shares (subject to a sharecap/floor). The remaining US$1.5 billion will be paid in the form of a three-year promissory note.
The acquisition of Motorola Mobility Smartphone division will strengthen Lenovo's presence onto the smartphone segment, especially on the North and South American continent, as well as in Western Europe.
Google will still have ownership over the vast majority of Motorola's patent portfolio, including current patent applications and invention disclosures. The deal also includes license for Lenovo over Motorola rich portfolio of patents and other intellectual property. Additionally Lenovo will receive over 2,000 patent assets, as well as the Motorola Mobility brand and trademark portfolio.
Below are the statements of all three CEO's:
"The acquisition of such an iconic brand, innovative product portfolio and incredibly talented global team will immediately make Lenovo a strong global competitor in smartphones. We will immediately have the opportunity to become a strong global player in the fast-growing mobile space," said Yang Yuanqing, chairman and CEO of Lenovo. "We are confident that we can bring together the best of both companies to deliver products customers will love and a strong, growing business. Lenovo has a proven track record of successfully embracing and strengthening great brands – as we did with IBM's Think brand – and smoothly and efficiently integrating companies around-the-world. I am confident we will be successful with this process, and that our companies will not only maintain our current momentum in the market, but also build a strong foundation for the future."
"Lenovo has the expertise and track record to scale Motorola Mobility into a major player within the Android ecosystem. This move will enable Google to devote our energy to driving innovation across the Android ecosystem, for the benefit of smartphone users everywhere," said Larry Page, CEO, Google.
"As part of Lenovo, Motorola Mobility will have a rapid path to achieving our goal of reaching the next 100 million people with the mobile Internet. With the recent launches of Moto X and Moto G, we have tremendous momentum right now and Lenovo's hardware expertise and global reach will only help to accelerate this," said Dennis Woodside, CEO, Motorola Mobility.
Lenovo thinks this purchase will help sell over 100 million smartphone units world-wide in 2014 – 2015.

I breathe in this still air –
thousand desires.
In the silence of my soul.
They blossomed –
the temple of togetherness,
the song of remembrance,
the naked body of dreams,
the love with no boundaries.
In the hours of peace –
In a vacuum of my soul -lived- the togetherness
To my still lips -came- the laughter,
In a depth of my heart -dreamed- the spring,
To my anxious thoughts -murmured- the love.
At the last moment –
Free was the spirit,
Singing eternally,
Flickering over dreams of the spring,
Security of the body with love- the earth claimed.

The 80-year-old former dictator of Panama, Manuel Noriega, might be sticking to Pac-Man from here on out.
The onetime star of the 1989 U.S.-led invasion of Panama is suing Santa Monica, Calif.-based video game publisher Activision Blizzard Inc. for using his name and likeness without permission in the 2012 blockbuster video game hit: "Call of Duty: Black Ops II."
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleges that the game portrays him as "a kidnapper, murderer and enemy of the state," the Los Angeles Times reports.
Noriega took control of Panama in 1983 and was deposed in 1989 when he was captured during the U.S.-led operation "Operation Just Cause." After more than a decade in prison, he was released back to Panama in 2011, where he currently resides in a hospital.
In the game, Noriega goes by the call sign "False Prophet" and on numerous occasions betrays the game's protagonist and shoots his own soldiers.
Noriega is apparently also upset that his character was used to "heighten realism" in the game, something he believes that helped increase the games sales.
Black Ops II netted more than $1 billion in less than a month after its release.

The move to empower employees redefines both the work community and its members' lives. Although powerful roadblocks to change still exist, successful inner leaders act on the belief that broad participation by all stakeholders is the most compelling strategy for designing and implementing lasting change in organizations. It is increasingly clear that participation improves organizations. It empowers people in all parts of work life. Research shows workplace participation results in greater political participation (Plas, 1996).
Increased participation in the workplace will better align both leader and led with the inner leader's vision of freedom and democracy, helping to create the genuine democracy that nurtures human progress and increases bottom line results Enabling others involves the inner leader in creating situations where work community members can self-motivate. The techniques may be as simple as providing as much information as possible to as many stakeholders as possible about what they and others are doing and need to do. When leaders enable their followers, they allow them room to take risks without mindless controls. This helps workers find a place in the work community where they can make full use of their strengths for the benefit of themselves and the work community. It is following Peter Drucker's (1988) advice to emphasize the strengths of employees in job assignments.
Empowerment is intellectually connected with leadership theory ideas like teaming and community building. Use of team, or other participative action structures, implies empowerment, although few theorists identify it explicitly. Empowerment is also part of transformational leadership theory. The underlying idea behind this concept of leadership is to choose purposes and visions based on follower strengths and interests and create a structure supporting them. Transformational leadership implies changing the individual, as well as the work community. It is self-actualizing. Transformational leadership enables both leaders and followers to reach higher levels of accomplishment and motivation. It releases human potential for the collective pursuit of the common goals. Consequently, it is empowering. McGregor's (1960) Theory Y is another intellectual foundation of empowerment. People who fundamentally believe that others are good, want to work, and accept responsibility will give those others the opportunity to use these capacities. That behavior is empowering.
Empowerment engages the inner leader in the kinds of actions described in the following sections.
Empowerment begins with goals. Inner leaders clearly relate work-community and individual follower goals. The fundamental mechanism is the vision statement, a concise amalgam of the basic purpose for which the work community exists. An effective vision relates directly to both individual and work-community ideas of purpose and articulates the value of joint effort. Properly stated and widely communicated, the vision statement triggers followers' interest. They must see in adherence to its challenge a way to exercise their various talents. It must challenge them to want to become involved in planning, policy, and process decisions and in other ways they can individually contribute in recognizable ways.
Empowerment requires the inner leader to set the vision, communicate it broadly, and inform coworkers about the work community, its purposes, processes, accomplishments, and shortcomings. Thus, leaders become facilitators of the work of others. In effect, they go to work for the follower. They provide necessary authority and the physical, operational, and psychological resources and services the follower needs to be effective. Inner leaders must also be prepared to have the work done in ways different from the ways they would use. It is possible that the work will be done better. It is conceivable, at least in the beginning, that it will be done worse. It will almost always be done differently. Acceptance of the need for flexibility in method and even in results is part of the preparation of the leader for empowerment of his or her followers.
Empowerment works when followers see that adhering to its challenge is a way to mature their various talents. Empowerment challenges followers to want to become involved. It is accomplished via participative efforts between leader and worker. It asks leaders to use innate values of independence, self-reliance, and individualism to challenge workers to sacrifice for the leader and for the work community as a way to self-actualize on the job.
Key in empowering others is delegation of job assignments and decisions to the lowest possible level and allowing room for coworkers to take risks without undue controls or tight accountability. This kind of delegation by inner leaders helps workers find their niche—the place in the work community where their strengths can be best used to the benefit of workers, the inner leader, the work community, and the larger corporation itself. Empowering inner leaders create job situations where workers can be self-motivated, not intimidated. They provide as much information as possible to as many people as possible about what they and others are doing and their degree of success. They do not suppress data about the work. Effective inner leaders take the time and effort to recognize individual differences and use them constructively (Truskie, 1999) through delegation that focuses on individual member strengths.
Empowerment focuses primarily on the members of the work community (Plas, 1996). Effective inner leaders actively encourage their coworkers to acknowledge their true feelings and values and their personal goals and aspirations to help them learn who they are and then use that knowledge in joint work activity. This expression of their authentic selves can occur only in an environment where workers feel secure—a community accepting of divergent views and opinions, one in which the inner leader really cares about them.
To enable individual workers and ask for real participation, inner leaders must first take advantage of the power of the individual by transforming it to create an environment where individuals can work together—exploiting their differences to the benefit of the work community and themselves (Plas, 1996). This can be done only in a work community where mutual cooperation and interdependence are built into the structure of work assignments.
The psychological foundations of this kind of participatory leadership are rooted in the counseling philosophies of psychologists such as Carl Rogers (1964) and Abraham Maslow (1962). Several guidelines direct the inner leader's empowering efforts. To empower followers to full participation is to give them meaningful work to do and to recognize their accomplishments as often as possible. Perhaps the most beneficial contribution of participatory inner leadership is its fundamental role in making workers into an effective community.
Plas (1996) argues that values like individualism that undergird contemporary diversity ideas can subvert attempts to implement successful community strategies. She recommends that work communities be structured—like a sports team—with a specific role for each member. This role specialization enables each member to make unique contributions and permits the personal recognition needed to satisfy the individualist spirit that typifies most Americans. When each work community member has a unique role to play, the emphasis shifts from the group to the individual.
The essence of cooperative action is member empowerment. Work communities led by inner leaders have to rely on the willingness and capacity for members to manage themselves for their professional and work goals to be met because a large part of work-community life involves members making decisions on their own (Kulwiec, 2001). Self-reliant work communities represent a major paradigm shift from classical hierarchal organizational structures.
A key part of empowerment is building and implementing self-reliance in the workers. Inner leaders form work-community structures and operating systems that facilitate workers' taking personal responsibility for seeing that the work that needs doing gets done. Such self-reliant work structures include the overarching culture that provides grounding for all that is done and all relationships systems used. These cultures honor independence in thought and action. Inner leaders create these structures and ensure that that kind of development and growth happens. These leaders also ensure that they change as the needs of coworkers and the purposes of the larger community change.
Centered in a vitalizing vision, self-reliant cultural systems allow workers maximum independence of action within the context of an interdependent system of values, rules of behavior, and standards for measuring success. Leaders concerned with fostering follower self-reliance engage in actions to encourage followers to get involved in the work community's work and use the work community's accepted behavior patterns—patterns that involve independent action.
Kulwiec (2001) says such work units set target performance goals and track progress toward those goals. The areas tracked for improvement might include such activities as safety, quality, cooperation, productivity, and scheduling, as well as continuous improvement. Although independent work performance is an important criterion, each individual is also responsible for his or her own performance to the inner leader and to colleagues.
A review of the literature reveals other ways to empower members of work communities to help the inner leader attain his or her goals for the community. They include the following:
Letting members talk to anybody in the firm to resolve problems and get the job done.
Ask members for their contributions and ideas.
Give work-community members full control of their own operations.
Involve members in selecting all new recruits.
Get members to train their colleagues.
Adopt individual member-set objectives at every level.
Adopt self-assessment appraisals.
Give each community member responsibility for assets and areas of the common work.

Cricket United Day: The Beneficiaries
Today, Saturday 29th July, will once again be 'Cricket United Day', with the Kia Oval turning blue in aid of three charities – Chance to Shine, Lord's Taverners, and the PCA Benevolent Fund – who are coming together to change lives through cricket.
The Lord's Taverners provide sporting chances for disadvantaged and disabled young people; Chance to Shine spreads the power of cricket to young people in schools and communities; and the PCA Benevolent Fund helps past and present professional cricketers in their hour of need.
Each have chosen a beneficiary to represent them on the day, who will receive Cricket United caps in a special ceremony and form part of the guard of honour for the players at the start of the day.
Chance to Shine's designated beneficiary is Elsa Barnfather, a student at Simon Balle All-through School, who has propelled herself to great cricketing heights with the help of Chance to Shine. She is captain of the school's under 13 side, who, under her leadership, have won every competition offered by Chance to Shine's secondary school competition Chance to Compete.
Elsa has also been selected to represent Hertfordshire under 13s, and her school's boys team, and although it was a daunting experience for her – "It was a bit nerve-wracking but I got into it" says Elsa – she has enjoyed success. Teammate Aiden says: "The opposition underestimates her. Their eyes light up and they think, 'We can win this easily'. Then she gets wickets and we win the game."
Her excellence and leadership has encouraged many others to take up the sport. Emily, a pupil at the school, says: "I used to think it was just a boys' sport, but now I know that girls can play it as well."
The Lord's Taverners have chosen Sam Alderson as their representative. Sam lives with TAR syndrome – a rare genetic disorder that is characterised by the absence of a radius bone in each forearm. He thought his chances of playing cricket were over when he became a wheelchair user, but thanks to the Lord Taverners' Disability Championships, and his own determination, he is excelling once again at the game he loves.
An improvised technique – Sam plays from his knees instead of his chair, and uses a smaller bat to give him more control – has produced great results: in 2016, he was named the Lord's Taverners Disability Cricket Club's 'most improved player.'
"I never thought I would be able to play cricket with my disability. I thought it was game over, that I wouldn't be able to play sport again," says Sam. "I didn't know what to do, but luckily I was introduced to disability cricket and it has allowed me to once again experience all the excitement and happiness that sport gives me."
Lastly, Brian Rose will be the PCA Benevolent Fund's beneficiary. The former Somerset and England batsman required dental implants after a severe form of rheumatoid arthritis caused his teeth to fall out.
Rose, who also fractured his skull in one of several falls, found it increasingly difficult to speak clearly when he was Somerset's director of cricket and he lost confidence as a consequence.
"If you have no teeth and you can't move you have a big financial problem because you are not able to work for too long," says Rose, who was Somerset's director of cricket.
"Everybody in all forms of life needs help, and some greater help than others. There is no better job done than by the PCA Benevolent Fund helping people. They are fantastic." You can watch Rose discuss the PCA Benevolent Fund's life-changing help below.
You can donate to Cricket United here, or text 'CRICKET' to 70123 to donate £5.

Kansas City Deserves Better From Its Council and For Its Volunteers
The Finance and Audit Committee is meeting this morning to hold its second hearing about the Anti-Volunteer Ordinance that the nine council members introduced a couple weeks ago. It meets at 8:15 in the morning, assuring that it will only hear testimony from insiders and the self-employed. The good people who work all week and volunteer in various capacities in their off-hours are effectively shut out from the process.
That exclusion is made even more complete by the legislative sleight-of-hand I understand is being cooked up for today in the back offices of the City Council. While the self-employed and privileged are invited down to testify this morning, they will be handed a NEW, REDRAFTED ORDINANCE when they get there. Good luck in preparing your thoughts and analysis ahead of time! Good luck doing any research to respond to the potential new flaws in the redraft of an already flawed ordinance!
(It should also be noted that the Fiscal Note for this ordinance is horribly flawed. It admits that the ordinance will cost $100,000 for criminal checks, but includes no provision at all for paying current staff or contractors for providing all the orientation and training surrounding "Anti-Discrimination/Harassment, Policy Against Violence in the Workplace, Drug & Alcohol Misuse Testing Policy, Policy Against Nepotism and instruction on conflicts of interest, confidentiality and proper use of City equipment and electronic communication devices". Somehow, that just happens for free.)
On the one hand, I'm pleased that the Council has seen the light and agreed with me that the ordinance they came up with was horribly flawed. It's refreshing to see that they realize that they made a mistake, and are endeavoring to fix it. In all seriousness, they had enough people cosponsoring the original, deeply flawed ordinance that they could have simply passed the flawed original if they truly didn't care.
But, in this case, redrafting the ordinance is simply insufficient. Is a good deed, half done, necessarily a good deed?
The Council is keeping its new ordinance under wraps until the hearing. Those of us who submitted thoughtful commentary on the original version are excluded from even knowing what will be in today's version. Given the muddled history and contradictory statements made by the cosponsors on what, exactly, this ordinance is attempting to accomplish, Kansas Citians have no reason to believe that this ordinance is much better than the version the council is now backing away from.
In this day of email and websites, there is no reason in the world for the Council to spring a new ordinance on an uninformed public at the same time it accepts testimony from that public. Volunteerism in Kansas City is an important issue, and an ordinance restricting volunteerism warrants complete and thoughtful attention.
This morning, we will get to see what the Finance and Audit Committee is up to. If they submit a new ordinance and seek further comment, then they will demonstrate that the good of the city is at the top of their agenda. If they dodge meaningful public comment and ramrod through an unexamined ordinance, they will be responding to an urge somehow deeper than presenting the best possible ordinance to the entire council.
We get a clear result this morning.

A Japanese Way with Eggs
Especially in Winter
Chawan Mushi 茶碗蒸し is a popular Japanese way of preparing Eggs, steamed in a cup. This version, made with Ginger, can be enjoyed any time, but is thought to be especially healthy in winter time, due to the tonic value of the Ginger.
Ginger Custard 生姜 の茶碗蒸し
2 Eggs
500 milliliters Dashi ,Japanese style stock
2 pinches Salt
1 teaspoon Soy Sauce
1 large finger of Ginger, unpeeled
1 more small piece of Ginger, about half a finger
First make the Dashi Stock. This is easy nowadays using instant Dashi packed up on little packets at Asian markets or Dashi powder. Or you can make your own.
Grate the large finger of Ginger, without peeling it, in a kitchen grater and set aside.
Peel the small half finger of Ginger and grate it finely using a kitchen grater. Set this aside seeaprately.
Whip the Eggs using a pair of chopsticks, as a Japanese cook would do, or a kitchen whisk, as a Western one might tend to use.
Combine the grated Ginger from the large finger of Ginger, the Eggs, Dashi, Salt and Soy sauce and mix well. Strain this mixture through a fine sieve.
Ladle this Mixture into small ramekins or custard cups and cover with foil. If you have Japanese Chawan Mushi cups with lids, they would be perfect.
Put the cups into a container, such as a deep frying pan and fill to the middle with boiling-hot water.
Cook the Custard over a medium flame for about 2 minutes.
Then lower the fire and cook on a low fire for another 10 – 15 minutes, or until the Eggs are fully set.
When the Eggs are set they are ready to eat. Let them cool a bit before serving warm. Garnish with additional grated Ginger from the small finger of Ginger previously grated and set aside. Put a little of it on top of each cup. This could be from half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of grated Ginger, depending on your preference.
The healthful properties of Ginger are numerous and well-documented. What is certain is that it has a warming effect on the stomach and body in general in cold weather. So this dish is especially appropriate for making in the winter.

text: Incredibly quick shipping on this one. Won it on sunday and I've got it on wednesday. Now that's service This bass sounds amazing. Pickups are a little hot if i'm not touching anything on the bass but with a finger on any string the bass is dead quiet. Has that great growly sound from the bubinga. I'm still pretty sure the neck is ovangkol. It definitely doesn't have the wenge grain or color. The sound needed a little tweaking. It almost sounded like I had a distortion pedal on at first. I think it was due to the preamp on the bass. I turned down the bass knob on the bass and turned up the Sansamp and everything sounded pretty good. Feels good to have a nice 4 string to compliment the Thumb 5 i've got now Does it make me a bad person that I have a Warwick and a Spector? All I'm waitin' on now is the new set of DR's to come in.
