Gautama Buddha
Gautama Buddha (c. 563 – c. 483 BC) was a teacher and religious leader. "Buddha", meaning "awakened one" or "enlightened one" is a title, not a name; the Shakyamuni Buddha, whose original name was Siddhartha Gautama, was the founder of Buddhism.

Kalamas, when you yourselves know: These things are unwholesome, these things are blameworthy; these things are censured by the wise; and when undertaken and observed, these things lead to harm and ill, abandon them...

- Therefore, Ananda, be islands unto yourselves, refuges unto yourselves, seeking no external refuge; with the Dhamma as your island, the Dhamma as your refuge, seeking no other refuge. And how, Ananda, is a bhikkhu an island unto himself, a refuge unto himself, seeking no external refuge; with the Dhamma as his island, the Dhamma as his refuge, seeking no other refuge? When he dwells contemplating the body in the body, earnestly, clearly comprehending, and mindfully, after having overcome desire and sorrow in regard to the world; when he dwells contemplating feelings in feelings, the mind in the mind, and mental objects in mental objects, earnestly, clearly comprehending, and mindfully, after having overcome desire and sorrow in regard to the world, then, truly, he is an island unto himself, a refuge unto himself, seeking no external refuge; having the Dhamma as his island, the Dhamma as his refuge, seeking no other refuge. Those bhikkhus of mine, Ananda, who now or after I am gone, abide as an island unto themselves, as a refuge unto themselves, seeking no other refuge; having the Dhamma as their island and refuge, seeking no other refuge: it is they who will become the highest, if they have the desire to learn.

After Enlightenment[edit]
- Monks, these two extremes ought not to be practiced by one who has gone forth from the household life. (What are the two?) There is addiction to indulgence of sense-pleasures, which is low, coarse, the way of ordinary people, unworthy, and unprofitable; and there is addiction to self-mortification, which is painful, unworthy, and unprofitable. Avoiding both these extremes, the Tathagata (the Perfect One) has realized the Middle Path; it gives vision, gives knowledge, and leads to calm, to insight, to enlightenment and to Nibbana. And what is that Middle Path realized by the Tathagata? ... It is the Noble Eightfold Path, and nothing else, namely: right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration.
- Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, as translated by Piyadassi Maha Thera (1999)

- No one saves us but ourselves,
No one can and no one may.
We ourselves must walk the path
Buddhas merely teach the way.
By ourselves is evil done,
By ourselves we pain endure,
By ourselves we cease from wrong,
By ourselves become we pure.

Samyutta Nikaya[edit]
[A devata] Giving what does one give strength? Giving what does one give beauty? Giving what does one give ease? Giving what does one give sight? Who is the giver of all? Being asked, please explain to me
[The Blessed One] Giving food, one gives strength; Giving clothes, one gives beauty; Giving a vehicle, one gives ease; Giving a lamp, one gives sight.
The one who gives a residence Is the giver of all. But the one who teaches the Dhamma Is the giver of the Deathless

Soma and Mara An adapation of a translation by C.A.F. Rhys-Davids
- Once Soma, having returned from her alms round
- and having eaten her meal, entered the woods to meditate.
- Deep in the woods, she sat down under a tree.
- The tempter Mara, desirous and capable of arousing fear, wavering and dread,
- and wishing her to interrupt her focused meditation, came to her and said,
- Your intent is difficult, even for the sages;
- Completion cannot be reached by a woman regardless the wisdom reaped."
- Then Soma thought, "Who is this speaking, human or nonhuman?
- Surely it is evil Mara desiring to interrupt my focused meditation."
- Knowing that it was Mara, she said,
- "What does gender matter with regard to a well-composed mind,
- which experiences insight in the light of the dharma?"
- The evil Mara thought, "Soma knows me"
- and sorrowful for the evil, instantly vanished into darkness.
Bamboo Acrobats An adaptation of a translation by John Ireland.
- The Exalted One was dwelling in the Sumbha country,
- in a location of the Sumbhas called Sedaka
- There He addressed the monks:
- "Once upon a time, a bamboo-acrobat set up his pole
- and called to his pupil, Medakathalika, saying,
- 'Come my lad Medakathalika,
- climb the pole and stand on my shoulders!'
- 'All right master,'
- replied the pupil to the bamboo-acrobat.
- The student then climbed the pole
- and stood on the master's shoulders.
- Then the bamboo-acrobat said to his pupil:
- 'Now Medakathalika, protect me well and I shall protect you.
- Thus watched and warded by each other,
- we will show our tricks, get a good fee and
- come down safe from the bamboo pole.'
- At these words Medakathalika the pupil
- said to the bamboo-acrobat,
- 'No, no! That won't do master!
- Look after yourself and I'll look after myself.
- Thus watched and warded each by himself,
- we'll show our tricks and get a good fee and
- come down safe from the bamboo-pole.'"
- "In the synthesis is the right way,"
- said the Exalted One,
- "Just as Medakathalika the pupil said to his master,
- 'I shall protect myself,'
- by this the Foundation of Mindfulness is practiced.
- 'I shall protect others,'
- by this the Foundation of Mindfulness is practiced.
- In protecting oneself, others are protected;
- In protecting others, oneself is protected."
- And how does one in protecting oneself, protect others?
- By frequent practice, development and
- making much of the Foundation of Mindfulness.
- Thus in protecting oneself, others are protected.
- And how does one, in protecting others, protect oneself?
- By forbearance and nonviolence,
- By loving kindness and compassion.
- Thus in protecting others, one protects oneself.
- With the intention, 'I shall protect myself,'
- the Foundation of Mindfulness is practiced.
- With the intention, 'I shall protect others,'
- the Foundation of Mindfulness is practiced.
- In protecting oneself, others are protected;
- In protecting others, oneself is protected."
- And this, monks, is the noble truth of the origination of dukkha: the craving that makes for further becoming — accompanied by passion & delight, relishing now here & now there — i.e., craving for sensual pleasure, craving for becoming, craving for non-becoming.

Digha Nikaya[edit]
Sutta 1. Brahmajala Sutta[edit]
- Abandoning false speech, the ascetic Gotama dwells refraining from false speech, a truth-speaker, one to be relied on, trustworthy, dependable, not a deceiver of the world. Abandoning malicious speech, he does not repeat there what he has heard here to the detriment of these, or repeat here what he has heard there to the detriment of those. Thus he is a reconciler of those at variance and an encourager of those at one, rejoicing in peace, loving it, delighting in it, one who speaks up for peace. Abandoning harsh speech, he refrains from it. He speaks whatever is blameless, pleasing to the ear, agreeable, reaching the heart, urbane, pleasing and attractive to the multitude. Abandoning idle chatter, he speaks at the right time, what is correct and to the point, of Dhamma and discipline. He is a speaker whose words are to be treasured, seasonable, reasoned, well-defined and connected with the goal.
- M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 1, verse 1.9, pp. 68-69
- The ascetic Gotama … avoids watching dancing, singing, music and shows. He abstains from using garlands, perfumes, cosmetics, ornaments and adornments. … He refrains from running errands, from buying and selling.
- Digha Nikaya, M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 1, verse 1.10, p. 69
- Whereas some ascetics and Brahmins remain addicted to attending such shows as dancing, singing, music, displays, recitations, hand-music, cymbals and drums, fairy-shows, acrobatic and conjuring tricks, combats of elephants, buffaloes, bulls, goats, rams, cocks and quail, fighting with staves, boxing, wrestling, sham-fights, parades, manoeuvres and military reviews, the ascetic Gotama refrains from attending such displays.
- M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 1, verse 1.13
- Whereas some ascetics and Brahmins remain addicted to such unedifying conversation as about kings, robbers, ministers, armies, dangers, wars, food, drink, clothes, beds, garlands, perfumes, relatives, carriages, villages, towns and cities, countries, women, heroes, street- and well-gossip, talk of the departed, desultory chat, speculations about land and sea, talk about being and non-being, the ascetic Gotama refrains from such conversation.
- M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 1, verse 1.17, p. 70
- Monks, if anyone spoke words which insult me, the Dhamma, and the Sangha, don't let this thing prompt you to hate, take revenge, and turn against them. If, because of this, you become angry or annoyed, then it will become an obstacle in your quest to liberate yourself, and cause you upset. However, if someone speaks insulting or false accusations about me, the Dhamma, and the Sangha, then you should state which is wrong and point out the mistake by explaining that because of this proof and that, then that is not true, or it is not like that, that kind of thing is not us, or occurring in us.
But if someone praises me, the Dhamma, or the Sangha; don't let this thing make you feel proud, joyful, and happy. If you act like that, then it will become an obstacle in your efforts to achieve your own final liberation. If someone speaks like that, you should state which is right and show the fact by saying, 'Based upon this and that fact, it is indeed so; that thing does indeed exist in us, or is true about us.' Even only due to small matters, worthless, or even due to the Precepts (Śīla).
- Sutta 1
- Monks, there are other things which are very deep (profound), very hard to understand, very difficult to perceive, so holy and sacred, unreached by means of mind, so subtle, that they are only to be understood and experienced by the wise. These things were perceived clearly, seen clearly and were discarded by the Tathagata, and by this act based on the truth that people praise and revered Tathagatha. What are those things?
- Sutta 1
Sutta 2. Samaññaphala Sutta[edit]
- As long, Sire, as a monk does not perceive the disappearance of the five hindrances in himself, he feels as if in debt, in sickness, in bonds, in slavery, on a desert journey. But when he perceives the disappearance of the five hindrances in himself, it is as if he were freed from debt, from sickness, from bonds, from slavery, from the perils of the desert.
- M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 2, verse 74, p. 102
- 'Suppose there were a man, a slave, a labourer, getting up before you and going to bed after you, willingly doing whatever has to be done, well-mannered, pleasant-spoken, working in your presence. And he might think, ... "I ought to do something meritorious. Suppose I were to shave off my hair and beard, don yellow robes, and go forth from the household life into homelessness!" And before long, he does so. And he, having gone forth might dwell, restrained in body, speech and thought, satisfied with the minimum of food and clothing, content, in solitude. And then if people were to announce to you: "Sire, you remember that slave who worked in your presence, and who shaved off his hair and beard and went forth into homelessness?" ... Would you then say: "That man must come back and be a slave and work for me as before?"'
'No indeed, Lord. For we should pay homage to him, we should rise and invite him and press him to receive from us robes, food, lodging, medicines for sickness and requisites, and make arrangements for his proper protection.'
- M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 2, verses 35-36, pp. 97-98
- It is just as if a man were to draw out a reed from its sheath. He might think: "This is the reed, this is the sheath, reed and sheath are different. Now the reed has been pulled from the sheath." … In the same way a monk with mind concentrated directs his mind to the production of a mind-made body. He draws that body out of this body.
- M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 2, verse 86, p. 104
Sutta 3. Ambattha Sutta[edit]
- If he goes forth from the household life into homelessness, then he will become an Arahant, a fully-enlightened Buddha, one who draws back the veil from the world.
- M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 3, verse 1.5, p. 112
- If it were not for women being admitted into [our order], my teachings would have lasted 1000 years, now they will not last 500.
- Dīgha Nikāya 3.
Sutta 4. Sonadanda Sutta[edit]
- Wisdom is purified by morality, and morality is purified by wisdom: where one is, the other is, the moral man has wisdom and the wise man has morality, and the combination of morality of wisdom is called the highest thing in the world.
- M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 4, verse 22, p. 131
Sutta 9. Potthapada Sutta[edit]
- "Well, Lord, is the soul the same as the body, is the soul one thing and the body another?"
- "I have not declared that the soul is one thing and the body another."
- "Well, Lord, does the Tathāgata exist after death?" …
- "I have not declared that the Tathāgata exists after death." …
- "But, Lord, why has the Lord not declared these things?"
- "Potthapada, that is not conducive to the purpose, not conducive to Dhamma, not the way to embark on the holy life; it does not lead to disenchantment, to dispassion, to cessation, to calm, to higher knowledge, to enlightenment, to Nibbana. That is why I have not declared it."
- M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 9, verse 28, p. 164
Sutta 15. Mahānidāna Sutta[edit]
- Feeling conditions craving, craving conditions seeking, seeking conditions acquisition, acquisition conditions decision-making, decision-making conditions lustful desire, lustful desire conditions attachment, attachment conditions appropriation, appropriation conditions avarice, avarice conditions guarding of possessions, and because of guarding of possessions there arise the taking up of stick and sword, quarrels, disputes, arguments, strife, abuse, lying and other evil unskilled states.
- M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 15, verse 9, pp. 224-225
- Pleasant feeling is impermanent, conditioned, dependently-arisen, bound to decay, to vanish, to fade away, to cease—and so too are painful feeling and neutral feeling. So anyone who, on experiencing a pleasant feeling, thinks: "This is my self", must, at the cessation of that pleasant feeling, think: "My self has gone!"
- M. Walshe, trans. (1987), Sutta 15 (Mahānidāna Sutta), verse 29, p. 227
Sutta 16. Mahaparinibbana Sutta[edit]
- But truly, Ananda, it is nothing strange that human beings should die.
- Sutta 16
Majjhima Nikaya[edit]
- Any kind of material form whatever, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, gross or subtle, inferior or superior, far or near, all material form should be seen as it actually is with proper wisdom thus: "This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self."
- B. Nanamoli and B. Bodhi, trans. (1995), Sutta 62, verse 3, p. 527
- In crossing the river [from Saṃsāra to emancipation] (...) crocodiles are a designation for women.
- Rahula, whatever internally, belonging to oneself, is solid, solidified, and clung-to, that is, head-hairs, body-hairs, nails, teeth, skin, flesh, sinews, bones, bone-marrow, kidneys, heart, liver, diaphragm, spleen, lungs, large intestines, small intestines, contents of the stomach, feces, or whatever else internally, belonging to oneself, is solid, solidified, and clung-to: this is called the internal earth element. Now both the internal earth element and the external earth element are simply earth element. And that should be seen as it actually is with proper wisdom thus: "This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self." When one sees it thus as it actually is with proper wisdom, one becomes disenchanted with the earth element and makes the mind dispassionate towards the earth element.
- B. Nanamoli and B. Bodhi, trans. (1995), Sutta 62, verse 8, p. 528
- Rahula, develop meditation that is like water. ... Just as people wash clean things and dirty things, excrement, urine, spittle, pus, and blood in water, and the water is not horrified, humiliated, and disgusted because of that, so too, Rahula, develop meditation that is like water.
- B. Nanamoli and B. Bodhi, trans. (1995), Sutta 62, verse 14, p. 530
- Whatever is subject to origination is all subject to cessation.
- 74, Dighanaka Sutta (this saying is in many other suttas as well)
- This is deathless, the liberation of the mind through lack of clinging.
- 106
Sutta Nipata[edit]
The Group of Discourses, K. R. Norman, trans. (Oxford: 2001)
- That bhikkhu who has cut off passion in its entirety, like one picking a lotus, both flower and stalk, leaves this shore and the far shore as a snake leaves its old worn-out skin.
- That bhikkhu who has cut off craving in its entirety, like one drying up a fast-flowing stream, leaves this shore and the far shore as a snake leaves its old worn-out skin.
- § 2-3
- Leaving behind son and wife, and father and mother, and wealth and grain, and relatives, and sensual pleasures to the limit, one should wander solitary as a rhinoceros horn.
- 'This is an attachment; here there is little happiness, and little satisfaction; here there is very much misery; this is a hook.' Knowing this, a thoughtful man should wander solitary as a rhinoceros horn.
- Having torn one's fetters asunder, like a fish breaking a net in the water, not returning, like a fire not going back to what is already burned, one should wander solitary as a rhinoceros horn.
- § 60-62
- The brahman Kasibhāradvāja addressed the Blessed One with a verse.
- 'You say you are a ploughman, but we do not see your ploughing. Being asked, tell us about your ploughing, so that we may know your ploughing.'
- 'Faith is the seed, penance is the rain, wisdom is my yoke and plough; modesty is the pole, mind is the yoke-tie, mindfulness is my ploughshare and goad. ...
- Thus is this ploughing of mine ploughed. It has the death-free as its fruit. Having ploughed this ploughing one is freed from all misery.
- § 75-80
- Not by birth does one become an outcaste, not by birth does one become a brahman. By one's action one becomes an outcaste, by one's action one becomes a brahman.
- § 136
- Faith is the best wealth for a man in this world. Righteousness when well practised brings happiness. Truth is the sweetest of flavours. They say the life of one living by wisdom is the best.
- § 182
- Joined together with bones and sinews, having a plastering of skin and flesh, covered with hide, the body is not seen as it really is—full of intestines, full of stomach, of the lump of the liver, of bladder, of heart, of lungs, of kidneys and of spleen, of mucus, of saliva, and of sweat, and of lymph, of blood, of synovial fluid, of bile, and of fat, ... and its hollow head is filled with brain. A fool, overwhelmed by ignorance, thinks of it as beautiful, but when it lies dead, swollen up and discoloured, cast away in a cemetery, relatives have no regard for it. Dogs devour it, and jackals, and wolves and worms. Crows and vultures devour it, and whatever other living creatures there are. The bhikkhu possessing knowledge here, having heard the Buddha's word, indeed understands it, for he sees the body as it really is.
- § 194-202
- The seers of old had fully restrained selves, and were austere. Having abandoned the five strands of sensual pleasures, they practiced their own welfare. The brahmans had no cattle, no gold, no wealth. They had study as their wealth and grain. They guarded the holy life as their treasure.
- § 284-285
The following quotes require more source information.
- Know from the rivers in clefts and in crevices: those in small channels flow noisily, the great flow silent. Whatever's not full makes noise. Whatever is full is quiet.
- Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Just as the candle won't be shortened, one's happiness never decreases by being shared.
- Whatever precious jewel there is in the heavenly worlds, there is nothing comparable to one who is Awakened.
- In whom there is no sympathy for living beings: know him as an outcast.
- Both formerly and now, it is only suffering that I describe, and the cessation of suffering.
- If a man going down into a river, swollen and swiftly flowing, is carried away by the current — how can he help others across?
- The world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realized the nature of the world.
- Resolutely train yourself to attain peace.
- Utthana Sutta
- As I am, so are these. As are these, so am I.' Drawing the parallel to yourself, neither kill nor get others to kill.

Ch. 58 The Buddha Replies to the Deva
- On a certain day when the Blessed One
- dwelt at Jetavana, the garden of Anathapindika,
- a celestial deva came to him in the shape of a Brahman
- enlightened and wearing clothing as white as snow.
The deva asked,
- What is the sharpest sword?
- What is the deadliest poison?
- What is the fiercest fire?
- What is the darkest night?"
The Blessed One replied,
- The sharpest sword is a word spoken in wrath;
- the deadliest poison is covetousness;
- the fiercest fire is hatred;
- the darkest night is ignorance.
The deva said,
- What is the greatest gain?
- What is the greatest loss?
- Which armour is invulnerable?
- What is the best weapon?
The Blessed One replied,
- The greatest gain is to give to others;
- the greatest loss is to greedily receive without gratitude;
- an invulnerable armor is patience;
- the best weapon is wisdom.
The deva said,
- Who is the most dangerous thief?
- What is the most precious treasure?
- Who can capture the heavens and the earth?
- Where is the securest treasure-trove?
The Blessed One replied,
- The most dangerous thief is unwholesome thought;
- the most precious treasure is virtue;
- the heavens and the earth may be captured by the mind's eye;
- surpassing rebirth locates the securest treasure-trove.
The deva asked,
- What is attraction?
- What is repulsion?
- What is the most horrible pain?
- What is the greatest enjoyment?
The Buddha replied,
- Attraction is wholeness;
- repulsion is unwholesomeness;
- the most tormenting pain is bad conscience;
- the height of bliss is redeemed awakening.
The deva asked,
- What causes ruin in the world?
- What breaks off friendships?
- What is the most violent fever?
- Who is the best physician?"
The Blessed One replied,
- Ruin in the world is caused by ignorance;
- friendships are broken off by envy and selfishness;
- the most violent fever is hatred;
- the best physician is the Buddha;
The deva continued,
- Now I have only one doubt to resolve and absolve:
- What is it fire cannot burn,
- nor moisture corrode,
- nor wind crush down,
- but is able to enlighten the whole world.
The Buddha replied,
- Blessing!
- Neither fire, nor moisture, nor wind
- can destroy the blessing of good deeds,
- and blessings enlighten the whole world.
Hearing these answers,
- the deva was overflowing with joy.
- Then clasping hands, bowed down in respect and
- disappeared suddenly from the presence of the Buddha.
- True charity occurs only when there are no notions of giving, giver, or gift.
- David Ross, 1,001 Pearls of Wisdom, 2006, p. 26
- We forgive principally for our own sake, so that we may cease to bear the burden of rancour.
- David Ross, 1,001 Pearls of Wisdom, 2006, p. 30
- Rather than continuing to seek the truth, simply let go of your views.
- David Ross, 1,001 Pearls of Wisdom, 2006, p. 39
- To understand everything is to forgive everything.
- This is generally reported as a French proverb, and one familiar as such in Russia as well, in many 19th and 20th century works; it seems to have first become attributed to Gautama Buddha without citation of sources in Farm Journal, Vol. 34 (1910), p. 417
- I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
- G. K. Chesterton, in "On Holland" in Illustrated London News (29 April 1922)
- Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, drew a circle with a piece of red chalk and said: "When men, even unknowingly, are to meet one day, whatever may befall each, whatever the diverging paths, on the said day, they will inevitably come together in the red circle."
- Director Jean-Pierre Melville made it up for the epigraph of Le Cercle Rouge (The Red Circle).
- We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
- As rendered by T. Byrom (1993), Shambhala Publications.
- There is no quote from the Pali Canon that matches up with any of these. The closest quote to this is in the Majjhima Nikaya 19:
- "Whatever a monk keeps pursuing with his thinking & pondering, that becomes the inclination of his awareness. If a monk keeps pursuing thinking imbued with sensuality, abandoning thinking imbued with renunciation, his mind is bent by that thinking imbued with sensuality. If a monk keeps pursuing thinking imbued with ill will, abandoning thinking imbued with non-ill will, his mind is bent by that thinking imbued with ill will. If a monk keeps pursuing thinking imbued with harmfulness, abandoning thinking imbued with harmlessness, his mind is bent by that thinking imbued with harmfulness." Sources: [1]
- You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection
- Sharon Salzberg in an article in a magazine called "Woman of Power" in 1989
- There is no way to happiness; happiness is the way.
- The source is likely to be either modern Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, or Calvinist clergyman Abraham Johannes Muste. The phrase appears in Thich Nhat Hanh's writings; but it also appears in a volume of US senate hearings from 1948, when Thich Nhat Hanh had not yet been ordained as a monk. Muste is known to have used a variant of the phrase – "'peace' is the way" in 1967, but this was not the first time he had used it, and he had a connection with the 1948 hearing.
Quotes about Buddha[edit]
- Sorted alphabetically by author or source
- The teachings of Buddha are eternal, but even then Buddha did not proclaim them to be infallible. The religion of Buddha has the capacity to change according to times, a quality which no other religion can claim to have … Now what is the basis of Buddhism? If you study carefully, you will see that Buddhism is based on reason. There is an element of flexibility inherent in it, which is not found in any other religion.
- Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, in The Buddha and His Dhamma (1957)
- The age in which true history appeared in India was one of great intellectual and spiritual ferment. Mystics and sophists of all kinds roamed through the Ganga Valley, all advocating some form of mental discipline and asceticism as a means to salvation; but the age of the Buddha, when many of the best minds were abandoning their homes and professions for a life of asceticism, was also a time of advance in commerce and politics. It produced not only philosophers and ascetics, but also merchant princes and men of action.
- A maṇi-jewel; magical jewel, which manifests whatever one wishes for (Skt. maṇi, cintā-maṇi, cintāmaṇi-ratna). According to one's desires, treasures, clothing and food can be manifested, while sickness and suffering can be removed, water can be purified, etc. It is a metaphor for the teachings and virtues of the Buddha. ... Said to be obtained from the dragon-king of the sea, or the head of the great fish, Makara, or the relics of a Buddha.
- The Digital Dictionary of Buddhism Ruyizhu entry
- For the first time in human history, the Buddha admonished, entreated and appealed to people not to hurt a living being, and it is not necessary to offer prayer, praise or sacrifice to gods. With all the eloquence at his command the Buddha vehemently proclaimed that gods are also in dire need of salvation themselves.
- Thomas William Rhys Davids, as quoted in Great Personalities on Buddhism (1965) by K. Sri Dhammananda, p. 109
- India was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all.
- Will Durant, in The Case for India (1931)
- One of my sons, the eldest boy, accused me of being a follower of Buddha, and some of my Hindu countrymen also do not hesitate to accuse me of spreading Buddhistic teaching under the guise of Sanatana Hinduism.
I sympathize with my son's accusations and the accusations of my Hindu friends. And sometimes I feel even proud of being accused of being a follower of the Buddha, and I have no hesitation in declaring in the presence of this audience that I owe a great deal to the inspiration that I have derived from the life of the Enlightened One. Asia has a message for the whole world, if only it would live up to it. There is the imprint of Buddhistic influence on the whole of Asia, which includes India, China, Japan, Burma, Ceylon, and the Malay States. For Asia to be not for Asia but for the whole world, it has to re-learn the message of the Buddha and deliver it to the whole world. His love, his boundless love went out as much to the lower animal, to the lowest life as to human beings. And he insisted upon purity of life.
- Mahatma Gandhi, as quoted in With Gandhiji in Ceylon (1928) by Mahadev Haribhai Desai, p. 54
- The Buddha is a being who is totally free of all delusions and faults, who is endowed with all good qualities and has attained the wisdom eliminating the darkness of ignorance. The Dharma is the result of his enlightenment. After having achieved enlightenment, a Buddha teaches, and what he or she teaches is called the Dharma. The Sangha is made up of those who engage in the practice of the teachings given by the Buddha. . . . One of the benefits of refuge is that all of the misdeeds you have committed in the past can be purified, because taking refuge entails accepting the Buddha's guidance and following a path of virtuous action.
- Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama, in The Way to Freedom : Core Teachings of Tibetan Buddhism (1994)
- Now in this realm Buddha's speeches are a source and mine of quite unparalleled richness and depth. As soon as we cease to regard Buddha's teachings simply intellectually and acquiesce with a certain sympathy in the age-old Eastern concept of unity, if we allow Buddha to speak to us as vision, as image, as the awakened one, the perfect one, we find him, almost independently of the philosophic content and dogmatic kernel of his teachings, a great prototype of mankind. Whoever attentively reads a small number of the countless speeches of Buddha is soon aware of harmony in them, a quietude of soul, a smiling transcendence, a totally unshakeable firmness, but also invariable kindness, endless patience. As ways and means to the attainment of this holy quietude of soul, the speeches are full of advice, precepts, hints. The intellectual content of Buddha's teaching is only half his work, the other half is his life, his life as lived, as labour accomplished and action carried out. A training, a spiritual self training of the highest order was accomplished and is taught here, a training about which unthinking people who talk about "quietism" and "Hindu dreaminess" and the like in connection with Buddha have no conception; they deny him the cardinal Western virtue of activity. Instead Buddha accomplished a training for himself and his pupils, exercised a discipline, set up a goal, and produced results before which even the genuine heroes of European action can only feel awe.
- Herman Hesse, in ""The Speeches of Buddha" (1921), as translated by Denver Lindley, in My Belief : Essays on Life and Art (1974), edited by Theodore Ziolkowski
- Political leaders are never leaders. For leaders we have to look to the Awakeners! Lao Tse, Buddha, Socrates, Jesus, Milarepa, Gurdjiev, Krishnamurti.
- Henry Miller, in My Bike & Other Friends (1977), p. 12
- For natures such as Jesus of Nazareth, Mohammed and Gautama Buddha is already the capacity of its openness for a world vision part of its application documents. With its virtues, experiences and abilities they belong to each post written out in the world with each interview to the most promising candidates and easy are erhalten.
- James Redfield, in the Manual of the 10th Celestine Prophecy part of I: The threshold; Heyne publishing house Munich, German-language edition 1997,ISBN 3-453-11809X
- If we ask, for instance, whether the position of the electron remains the same, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether the electron's position changes with time, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether the electron is at rest, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether it is in motion, we must say 'no'. The Buddha has given such answers when interrogated as to the conditions of a man's self after his death; but they are not familiar answers for the tradition of seventeenth and eighteenth century science.
- J. Robert Oppenheimer, as quoted in The New Yorker (19 June 1954), p. 61
- The fundamental teachings of Gautama, as it is now being made plain to us by study of original sources, is clear and simple and in the closest harmony with modern ideas. It is beyond all disputes the achievement of one of the most penetrating intelligence the world has ever known. Buddhism has done more for the advance of world civilization and true culture than any other influence in the chronicles of mankind.
- H. G. Wells, in The Outline of History (1920), Ch. 25
- The Buddha Is Nearer to Us You see clearly a man, simple, devout, lonely, battling for light, a vivid human personality, not a myth. Beneath a mass of miraculous fable I feel that there also was a man. He too, gave a message to mankind universal in its character. Many of our best modern ideas are in closest harmony with it. All the miseries and discontents of life are due, he taught, to selfishness. Selfishness takes three forms — one, the desire to satisfy the senses; second, the craving for immortality; and the third the desire for prosperity and worldliness. Before a man can become serene he must cease to live for his senses or himself. Then he merges into a greater being. Buddha in a different language called men to self-forgetfulness five hundred years before Christ. In some ways he was near to us and our needs. Buddha was more lucid upon our individual importance in service than Christ, and less ambiguous upon the question of personal immortality.

I have a foster son, who today loudly and quite seriously proclaimed that he's not my real kid. He's lived with us for over a year, and we are most likely going to adopt him, having started the paperwork to do so. I normally don't care much if he talks about his birth parents, or if he calls me by my first name, but for some reason, this just bothered me today. Thanks!
Don't worry about it. That's a really common behavior with foster kids. Here are a few of the many reasons why:
Or, it could be any number of other things. Don't sweat it. :)

A dragon came into town and a NPC was killed in the fight. I was able to looted his body and I found the key to his home (He seems to have no wife). So my question is, did I just gain a free home? Or is some long lost relative going to show up while I'm off questing and take over the house?
I just tested this by merciclessly slaughtering Sven and Hilde while they slept in their Riverwood home.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, if you have, you know, scruples), even after death all of their chests are considered "owned": you still get marked as a thief for attempting to open them, which is a sure sign the room is not safe to store belongings in.
So no, despite what Davy Jones or any salty seadog might tell you, it's not safe to use a dead man's chest and/or store rum in it.
I've taken over a witches cabin in the woods near the first town (she saw me stealing through a hole in her shoddy hut and at attacked me, which did not end well for her). Since the hut had a fast travel spot right at the door, a bed and a basement with an alchemy and enchanting table, I decided to move in.
This was at the very beginning of the game, and I've been going back there regularly to sleep, use the tables and store things in a barrel in the basement. So far nothing has gone missing, and nobody is around to complain about me taking things out of storage either. Items that were not previously stolen do not get marked red (stolen) when I put them in there either, so I see no downside.
I'm still looking for a location that has all the crafting tools in one place though :)
I think it depends on the npc. Like there was this guy in Roirickstead(spelling?) the guy who's the father of twins. I did some farm work for him but I didn't like how he treated his daughters so when he when into the in I killed him using stealth so no one would know I did it I looted him and took his house key upon entering I was able to take everything I wanted. I even adopted one if his daughters when she was sent to the orphanage with her sister. But when I left the inn the courier brought me a letter telling me that I had an inheritance from the man I killed I think if it's a random npc then no but if it's one that trust you then yes

6 Insane Cults (That Would Probably Be a Lot of Fun)
Politics, sex and religion are the three things you're not supposed to discuss in mixed company. Fortunately, if you're in a cult, odds are you get to discuss those topics as much as you want. In the right cults you probably get to discuss them while having group sex. If you're allowed to speak, that is.
#6. The Raelian Movement
Founded by a dude who appears to have stolen his clothes after a stint as an extra on Star Trek, the Raelians are one of the few cults that occasionally make the news down here on Earth.
Rael lets you know on his website that he's a Frenchman who used to be a cabaret singer and a race car driver, which realistically is slightly cooler than being a carpenter like Jesus or jolly fat man like Buddha. All of this was prior to meeting an alien named Yahweh, of course, who came to Rael to tell him about the origin of mankind as well as offering him the service of several futuristic sex robots.
Oh, hell yes. The Pope offers people holiday blessings and waves from behind bullet proof glass. Rael bangs sex robots from another galaxy. We're not saying one's cooler than the other, we're just saying sex robots are cooler than anything the Pope has probably even thought of doing.
The movement is noted for such awesome things as claiming in 2002 to have cloned a human (which turned out to sort of being entirely untrue) and accusations of brainwashing via sex. Suavely balding leader Rael also has his own harem of women called the Order of Angels, who apparently exist just to bang the men and donate eggs to human cloning efforts.
Not content with all this amateur whoring, Rael also has an actual subgroup of real-life whores called Rael's Girls made up solely of woman who work in the sex industry. If this whole religion sounds like some insanely clever man's diabolical plan to wear pajamas all day and fuck really gullible women then, congratulations, you may qualify to enter the inner sanctum. Membership numbers indicate followers in the tens of thousands, most of whom were probably swayed in no way by the religion having its own skank squad.
#5. The Cosmic People of Light Powers
The Cosmic People of Light Powers is a Czech cult that's more intense and has a better back story than the whole Matrix trilogy combined. The Cosmic People aren't your typical downer cult. You'll find no leaders with 100 wives who tell followers he must baptize them with his semen. But the Cosmic People do believe in an alien named Ashtar Sheran.
Ashtar has a fleet of 10 million spaceships that orbit the Earth. With that many spaceships, the odds of getting a primo suite when the time comes to leave Earth and head off for a picnic on Venus seem almost guaranteed. Score one for the true believers.
Membership numbers are a bit sketchy with the leader of the group claiming thousands to hundreds of thousands of sympathizers, while "government" sources say a couple hundred people, and hint that all of them may be mentally ill. Nonsense, we say! The Cosmos, as we like to imagine them calling themselves, are just more open to the task of understanding the truth about the infernal saurians chipping our hearts and how, as their website says, "95 percent of our physical bodies are controlled by forces of darkness." Which means many of us only control our wang, hand or some other appendage. The rest is under the control of evil lizard men. Hey, don't act like you didn't suspect this all along.
The website is full of useful information about these lizard men and various other aliens, all cleverly hidden by intense colors and rambling broken English.
angels-light.org is one of the few websites we've seen with an "Evacuation" option
It was their frequent images of flaming hearts and the terrifyingly awesome pictures of Nordic aliens which made our research team confident that space is populated by Swedish models who want nothing more than to help us destroy the lizard men, and then make sweet space love.
#4. Church of God with Signs Following
Understanding why your average Sunday service bores the hell out of most churchgoers, the Church of God with Signs Following turns every service into an insane orgy of pious madness and potential fatalities that puts even the UFC to shame.
You may know these people better as "snake handlers" and there could be anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 of them just waiting to accidentally kill themselves for the Lord on any given Sunday.
Snake handlers engage in all the normal stuff you'd expect at a religious service: speaking in tongues, screaming, spasming, spinning in circles, occasionally drinking poison and, why the heck not, handling snakes. The faithful defend their extreme and sometimes deadly beliefs by saying everything they do comes directly from the Bible, specifically Mark 16:17-18, which if you add some words to it, says to bring a bunch of snakes into church.
Sure, basing an entire belief system around a single passage from the Bible is pretty out there, given that there are quite a few things in the Bible that would have your ass sent straight to prison if you were to attempt them in public. But at Cracked, we don't believe in doing anything half-assed and you can't help but admire the way the church just up and ran with the snake thing. There's even the odd death at these services. Our only suggested change would be adding the word "X-TREME" in their name somewhere.
For those in the know, of course, those deaths were just the result of people who lacked faith, faith being the universal method to prevent snake bites, followed closely by not dancing around like a drunkard at a hootenanny with a poisonous snake in your hands. And just because some people will point out the passage these churches hold as sacred, it's generally footnoted in most versions of the Bible as having most likely been edited in at a later date, it doesn't mean God doesn't want us to taunt poisonous creatures. It may mean that, but if people weren't willing to take risks for what they believe in, Jackass would have never existed. And we can all agree that God wouldn't have wanted that.

Free is always good, but the link doesn't seem to work all the time. First couple of tries didn't work, but it finally did just now.
@the18thtee84: It took me quite a while to get it to work as well. Maybe their servers are getting a lot of traffic?
Their website is just slow...it works, great find this is one of the best games you can find and you cant beat the price of free.
I've been eyeing this on steam waiting for a sale to get it for $5, normally (and right now) it's $10! I've played it and it's really good. Can't beat FREE! Thanks OP!
sweet, there was a fallout 1 and 2? LOL.....
just got it....awesome. Just for signing up with Good old games I got like 6 other free games too, so that's cool.
Check out the Journeyman Project series. They were probably my favorite games growing up. Very immersive!
Epic game! If you like this go and support Wasteland 2! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/wasteland-2
I suspect that one of the reasons for the free Fallout is to gin up interest in the Wasteland 2 project. I am super stoked that they are making it!!! They have already had a ton of money pledged and they keep promising more and more content as the budget grows.
War. War never changes...
@mthiggins: I've been a supporter of that game for about a month now. I never played the first, but when I read the description, I had to support it.
Lame, no Linux.
gog.com games also contains no Digital Rights Management / no "activation".
Here's a link to their forums that will hopefully help you install some patches that are highly recommended:
Who could down vote something free? :S
Kinda expensive. I'll wait for the Free To Play thank you very much!
Very nice.it's free and funny.Thanks for your info.
@matt1976: You know, you could at least try running it through Wine. My reading indicates that even this release of Fallout works flawlessly in Wine. Sure, it's not native but it works.
This seems like a good deal... it's $0 and hopefully will run on a mac... we'll see...
I'm no longer a gamer but their site reads "Release date September 30, 1997". It's almost 15 years old and they are finally releasing a free version? I don't get it!
This is epically awesome...
@sportyrider: Super Mario Bros. was released in 1985 and I'd challenge you to find a "free" version that isn't an illegal download or 3rd party emulator. I've been a gaming for a while now and I rarely see free (no strings attached) games even if they are old.
I found this "wrapper" for getting it to work on an Intel Mac (see the second set of instructions on the page):
@shadowknight125: So all of the games on this site (http://www.supermariobrothers.org/) are illegal? Somebody call HomeLand Security!
FO1 is perhaps still my favoritest game of all time. I don't know if I still have a copy, so I'll be sure to get one from GoG tonight.

Jones wins heat
PHILADELPHIA - Franciscan University runner Bill Jones won the college heat of the Division I 5k race at the Penn Relays to place ninth out of 82 overall male 5k runners with a time of 14:19.81 Friday. Jones knocked five seconds off his previous record of 14:24.78 and is currently ranked third in the nation in Division III in this event.
"This was definitely one of the best races of his career," head coach Vince Oliver said. "First place finish in the College Men's at Penn Relays is something some athletes only dream about."
Of the three heats of the men's 5k - championship, college, and Olympic development - Jones had hoped to compete in the championship run but was instead placed in the slightly slower college heat. The FUS runner disregarded this setback and instead focused on his event.
"I just made the best out of the situation," Jones said. "Anything can happen, and all in the same, I run my own race."
He took the lead 600 meters into the race and maintained a consistent distance ahead of the pack throughout, finishing well ahead of his competitors.
"I know I run best when I run free," Jones said, "Once I took the lead, I thought, 'I'm going take this race. I just need to run hard and make it the best race I can.'"
Personal bests for Barons
ERIE - It was a quick day for the Franciscan University track team at Penn State Behrend. Multiple runners broke their personal best marks making the Barons look dominant in pristine weather conditions.
"It was short and sweet," head coach Vince Oliver said. "The weather was perfect and we really brought all we had."
Junior Jacob Baugher brought his all in the 200 meter race where he not only achieved a personal best with a time of 23.87, but also set the new University record.
"I have been running really well in practice this week," Baugher said of his preparation. "I didn't feel very well this morning but I fought through it and had a strong day."
Chris Hoff ran the 400 hurdles in one minute, shaving nearly five seconds off his previous best time. Hoff followed suit with Baugher by also setting the school record for his event.
Senior Jack Kaiser battled back pains to finish third in the 1500 meter race. Kaiser was not sure if he was going to run Saturday.
On the women's side, freshman Kristin Mack debuted in the discus throw and threw just over 20 meters for the first time since getting back into the sport.
"I'm just so lucky to be here," Oliver said. "Seriously, I thank God everyday, and I want to make it clear every week how proud I am of you guys, and how genuinely impressed I am of your talent. We can beat anybody if we put our heads to it."
The track and field team's next meet is at Allegheny College for the Gator Invitational on May 10.
Lady Barons drop two
STEUBENVILLE - The Franciscan University softball team ended their season with a home Senior Day doubleheader against Hilbert College, losing to the Hawks 11-0 and 11-3.
The first game started with quick at-bats from both teams but the game went downhill for FUS in the third inning, when the Hawks scored three runs.
Franciscan struggled through the next two innings. Slow defensive play allowed the Hawks scored three runs in the fourth and five in the fifth. The Lady Barons were unable to get on base at all, due to strikeouts and pop flies.
"Going into the second game, I think they played a lot more aggressive which was good," Parker said.
While game two started off slowly for FUS, the middle innings featured some strong farewell performances from some of the Franciscan seniors.
After freshman third baseman Hailey Wesselman started off the fourth inning with a double, senior captain and center fielder Amanda Ruwart followed with a single. Then senior first baseman Catherine Durand hit a homerun, bringing in three runs for FUS in her last game as a Lady Baron.
"I was really happy to see Kathy hit that homerun on Senior Day," Parker said. "A three run homer, what a great way to close off her career."
Franciscan took time from their last game to honor their graduating seniors, captain Amanda Ruwart, Catherine Durand, and mid-season addition Monica Recsnik.

Why Your Proof-of-Concept Should Be a Proof-of-Capability
By email@example.com on Sep 14, 2011
Policy administration systems are core to a carrier's operation. Replacing these systems presents more risk than nearly any other IT project. Carriers should carefully weigh the risks against the benefits as they build the business case for embarking on a modernization project.
In a previous Oracle Insurance Blog I highlighted best practices recommended bySecurian Financial Group's Denise Smieja about the company's successful approach to replacing its legacy policy administration system. Smieja along with Roger Soppe, Oracle Insurance, were among Insurance & Technology magazine's virtual roundtable of industry experts that recently weighed in on this topic. While Smieja offered insight on criteria carriers should consider when developing a request for proposal, Soppe focused on another critical step in the evaluation process: the proof-of-concept (POC).
In the article, Setting the Stage with a Solid Proof of Concept, Soppe noted that while many insurers are familiar with the idea of a POC, they may skip this important step due to time or budget constraints. He cited how a leading North American life insurance carrier demonstrated the value of a POC in proving the capabilities of the "people, process and technology" of the vendors and systems integrators being evaluated for its policy administration migration project.
"Other carriers can adopt this idea of a 'proof-of-capability' in their own policy admin transformation projects," advised Soppe in the article. "This process reduces risk and helps build buy-in across the organization. This approach can be crucial to receiving a green light -- it is the final validation of all of the research and decision making that the carrier has done to date and sets the stage for success."

The very concept of drawing an angel is something that many people, and artists draw at some point in their lives. An angel is a very symbolical being that hold many different beliefs, from many different cultures. For instance, many individuals believe in guardian angels, evil angels, fallen angels, and cherubs, which are child like angels. This tutorial is going to show you "how to draw a simple angel" using very easy to follow steps, and instructions. I know I have many lessons on a bunch of angels, but there is none that shows you an easy way to draw an angel. I think you will like this tutorial. I mean, if you have always liked these beautiful beings, but never knew how to draw them, this is your chance to teach yourself how to do just that. I will be back in a few with two more lessons for you all to learn from and enjoy, and maybe in the future I will submit a lesson on simple angel wings. Peace out people!

The vocal, and often cut-through Latina we've come to know the past two years on the hit VH1 reality series "Basketball Wives Miami" is using the spotlight to leverage a career outside of TV drama. Evelyn Lozada is primping herself as a clothing designer, creator of her own makeup line, and most notably an author of new book Inner Circle (The Wives Association)—recently released on Cash Money Content—and it all seems to be paying off. Taking readers inside the life of an athletes life, Evelyn uses the character Eve Inez to weave a narrative similar to the life she has come to know as the former fiancé of former NBA star Antoine Walker, and current fiancé of NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco—who together with Lozada will star in a spin-off reality series on VH1 chronicling the couple's journey to the alter. Inner Circle will undoubtedly register with the loads of viewers who tune into "Basketball Wives" each week. We caught up with the Brooklyn-native to chat transitioning from reality star to author, working with the infamous Cash Money crew, and what's next.
EBONY: So, I read the book and I was surprised that you gave us so much information, upfront.
Evelyn: Right, I mean if you know me I mean obviously you watch the show. I'm very, very open with my life. The book was…how do I say it? Very therapeutic because a lot of things I don't talk about. The stories in the book are real stories you know/
EBONY: On the show, you're pretty comfortable in your own skin, but were you nervous at all when you were writing the book?
Evelyn: You know I wasn't necessarily nervous because this is what I thought: if you were an acquaintance of mine or if I wrote about something that happened in the book, only you would know that that's where I got the story from. I did it very tastefully. Names are changed. I made sure to keep things very private. I would never speak about anything publicly, especially with my ex. I'm not that type of person even, on "Basketball Wives". I never talked about my ex, that's something I would never do.
EBONY: The back-stories you give In the Inner Circle offer a little depth to who you are on the show. We've seen you at your best; we've seen you at your worst. Do you feel like people reading this book will be able to understand the good and bad of Evelyn from "Basketball Wives" a little more now?
Evelyn: I think so. I wrote the book with Courtney Parker and I wanted to be very open, very real about the stories and the things that have happened. You can get a glimpse of how I lived, how my life was and why I do react to certain things and why I'm so protective of my girlfriends. Why I'm the way I am.
EBONY: Do you feel like being young and married contributed to the uneasiness of a relationship like your first?
Evelyn: Yeah I mean we were young. We started dating when I was 23. I went from working for an attorney and taking care of my daughter, to living in the Bronx to driving around in Bentleys. My life was going a mile a minute. As far as being domestic, that was never an option because we're going from plane to plane, traveling. But, I wouldn't change it for the world. I feel like all those experiences are the reason why I'm here today. I wasn't trying to be Betty Crocker. We were just having fun. Now, though it's a different story. Like I just learned how to make baked macaroni and cheese
EBONY: You just learned how to make macaroni and cheese?
Evelyn: Yes, girl and it was good!
EBONY: Ok, I trust you. I still don't know how to make macaroni and cheese or fry chicken.
Evelyn: Oh my god! I totally know how to make it and he [Chad] loves it.
EBONY: I'm sure he does. Was it difficult to accept Chad's marriage proposal after dating past athletes or have you grown as a woman and just feel content and you know its right?
Evelyn: On the show, I said I would blow off every athlete. Then Chad comes in like a hurricane. I met him on twitter and I'm like, "We'll hang out and whatever happens, happens. I thought I was going film this show, have a great time and then you know we end up meeting and we end up dating, falling in love. Blah blah blah. You know all that stuff. Then we ended up engaged. But you know they always say, when you know, you know. I knew. I was like this is supposed to be my husband. We're a train wreck sometimes, but it is what is it. We're like

The investigation of sexual violence requires the very best from our criminal justice system. The individuals who commit these crimes, particularly those of the most violent nature, must be identified, captured, and brought to justice before they assault again. The investigation of these crimes, however, is remarkably complex and requires extensive cooperation and active communication across disciplines.This two-hour Policy and Practices Forum will convene experienced and knowledgeable subject matter experts in various fields contributing to the investigation and processing of cases involving sexual violence. The presenters, whose experience spans decades, will discuss the complex relationship between law enforcement, science, medicine, and the judicial system. As they will explain, innovative jurisdictional practices and scientific research producing valuable solutions and insight can empower our criminal justice system to better respond to acts committed by sexual predators. The result of these enhanced approaches is the better collection of evidence, faster laboratory testing, improved case management, and more reliable prosecution of offenders.

Another levy try in Bellaire
Possible attempt up for discussion at next meeting
July 6, 2013
BELLAIRE — The Bellaire Village School District is hosting a special meeting of its board of education Monday at 6 p.m. in the board office....
JUST paid my real estate taxes and car insurance. Nothing left to give. I work for every dollar I have, I don't double dip!
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
an 8 mill levy has as much chance of passing in Bellaire as a snowball surviving a trip thru the center of the earth. Try a temporary 3 mil levy and it might pass. A one cent sales tax in Bellaire for one year might also pass.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I just wonder how much this costing the taxpayers. Stop wasting money on these failed levys.

Experiencing Cape Town's history through music
The cast. Photo supplied by Hippo Communications
Cape Town has talent, that is no lie, seeing her children perform her rich history in a magical musical, is a truth that is far too beautiful to comprehend.
The Cape Town Show, running at the Rainbow Room at Mandela Rhodes Place from Friday, November 5, is a vibrant, fantastic theatrical performance that delivers a heart-warming tribute to the Mother City.
Starring the exuberant Denay Willie, Dobs Madotyeni, Josh Prinsloo and Jade de Waal as well as ten talented aspirant performers from the Rainbow Academy (a non-profit organisation that specialises in training young adults who are passionate about the performing arts but lack the resources for tertiary training), the Cape Town Show celebrates our city, our history and our infectious spirit of Ubuntu.
If the turbulent past of Cape Town has long since faded to a distant primary school memory for you like it has for me, then this show is an absolute must. It portrays the Mother City's stories from the Dutch Settlers' arrival to Apartheid to the birth of democracy through vivid poetry readings, energetic dance numbers and soulful songs.
The cast effectively brings to life the struggles of our forefathers, the pain of the past and the freedom and hope of our recent democratic existence.
Watching this show made me proud to be Capetonian and grateful for the sacrifices our elders made on our behalf. Willie's moving rendition of Paradise Road nearly had me in tears but a joyful dance routine by the ensemble to Give me hope Joanna quickly had me laughing and moving along too.
The Cape Town Show will run on Wednesday and Friday evenings during the summer season at 19h00 each evening. Tickets are R 295 a person, which includes a delicious three course meal, or R120 for the show only. For more information, please contact Alison on 021 422 1418 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
For an evening of entertainment that will make you love Cape Town even more, do not miss this show.

I'm using sunabs svn PPA on Natty 64bit & I can't get x264 encoding, there's a big red cross against them in the render options. :-)
I have libx264-106 & 115, x264 Ubuntu package 2:0.106.1741-3, libmp3lame0 22.214.171.124ubuntu1 installed.
I have ffmpeg 4:0.6.2-1ubuntu1, libavcodec-extra-52 and lib avformat-extra-52 installed.
Using sunabs 32bit svn build on my laptop does give the x264 render options, so I guess I have some kind of mixed up dependancies on the 64bit machine.
I also have ffmpeg from git compiled from source with x264 support at /usr/local but assume kdenlive is not using that.
Sun, 08/14/2011 - 12:49
After some tests same behavior here in a fresh installed virtual machine.
try to delete the kdenliverc file.
I will investigate.
Sun, 08/14/2011 - 12:53
I have like problem: Natty 32bit, KDEnlive sunabs svn PPA and same libs, except libavcodec-extra-52 and lib avformat-extra-52. I tried to install them, but the system was unable to download one of dependencies (libopenjpeg2). The problem persists. How to resolve?
Sun, 08/14/2011 - 12:54
where is this file?
Sun, 08/14/2011 - 13:02
I tried to install libavcodec-extra-52 and lib avformat-extra-52 to stay with scenery more like that Yellow's, but these libs uninstalls libavcodec-52 and lib avformat-52, and additionally, installs libavtuil-extra-50 and libopenjpeg2, but unistalls libavtuil-50 too. But libopenjpeg2 isn't found in repository. And if try to unchek to install, the system requires unistalls various programs, like Cinelerra and other! Is difficult to resolve dependency for KDEnlive. If you need more information, please, ask!
Sun, 08/14/2011 - 13:24
I resolved! I forgot: I'm in Brazil and my Ubuntu is BR. The system don't found http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/openjpeg/libopenjpeg..., then I tried http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/openjpeg/libopenjpeg2_1..., downloaded it and installed it, after I used Synaptics to install libavcodec-extra-52 and lib avformat-extra-52, this installed libavtuil-extra-50 too and unistalls libavcodec-52, libavformat-52 and libavtuil-50. Then KDEnlive enables various options to render the movie, like MPEG4, XVid, H264 and all othes that was disabled! My system is Ubuntu BR Natty 11.04 32bit with Gnome. Congratulations, KDEnlive is a big powerful program, now I'll to test the quality of its rendering! Thanks!
Sun, 08/21/2011 - 11:08
@yellow :
Seems that old settings aren't correctly modified even re-running te config wizard (setings menu), only deleting kdenliverc file does the trick.
I will investigate this to see if it is distro related or kdenlive related.
Glad to help you, this ppa was set up for easy testing of kdenlive svn, to hunt more bugs and regressions with no hassle of compiling on the user side.
Thanks for you interest.
Fri, 10/21/2011 - 18:24
deleting the kdenliverc in ~/.kde/share/config did the trick [2]
I did the wizard initially and I had the same problem... after deleted the file and re-wizard things worked great!
Mon, 12/19/2011 - 10:40
Im running linux mint 10, I had the same problem, and messed around a bit.
Found this thread and installed the above link from Bihno.
Still not working? I didn't try to restart kdenlive.
Installed libk3b6 from software manager and ran the config wizard, had to restart kdenlive, and now everything is working. Don't ask me how. But Im happy now.
Wed, 05/16/2012 - 08:46
I'm having this same problem, and none of the above are helping. I'm running Mint 12. the deb file pasted above wouldn't install. It said I had the wrong architecture. I tried deleating the kdenliverc file. The wizard re-ran, but still having the same trouble. My software manager says that I have FFMPEG installed, but I tried the install code listed on this site anyway, but I get "E: Unable to locate package" for everything.
Any ideas?
I'm new to linux, and I installed it strictly because I wanted to use kdenlive.
Wed, 05/16/2012 - 11:19
@sunab: ubuntu 12.04 build in the works? :)
Sat, 11/10/2012 - 14:48
Solution posted by Binho worked for me too, on Linux Mint 13 32-bit.

How do you describe the difference between consumable and non-consumable electronic items?
Sign up

I'm not sure what the question is. Would you give some examples of where or on what occasions you see the phrase 'consumable/non-consumable electronic items'?
Electronic items are generally considered consumer products , rather than being classified as 'consumable' or 'non-consumable'. If we adopt Webster's definition as quoted by Thursagen, then electronic items are just consumable, as they can be destroyed, used beyond repair or discarded. I don't really recall seeing any electronic item labelled as 'non-consumable'.
Some electronic products, e.g. office copier machines, may generally last longer or get replaced less frequently than others, e.g. personal mobile phones. That might give you a sense that personal mobile phones are 'consumable' but copier machines are 'non-consumable', but that's really not the difference between 'consumable' and 'non-consumable'.
Also, as Thursagen has pointed out, many accessories of electronic items are 'consumables', for example photo printer paper, catridges and toners, digital camera batteries - but these are not exactly electronic items themselves (maybe except the batteries). So I'm not sure if you're actually referring to the consumable accessories for electronic items when you say 'consumable electronic items'.
Consumables are items that you need to periodically replace in order for a non-consumable device to perform its intended function. Printer cartridges, fax rolls, photocopier toners, batteries, camera film and light bulbs are all examples of consumables for electrical and electronic devices.
Okay, trying my best here to make this clear. I hope I don't get too muddy.
A "consumable" product is one that gets used up, that is, it can spoil, or has a life:
Now, the confusing part, is "non-consumable" stuff.
"Non-comsumable" thing don't necessarily mean that they are, invincible, and they last forever. "Non-consumable", is more of a legal term, and means:
"Non-consumable" objects also includes capital goods:
I'm curious about this as well, and for a very specific reason: I saw cell phones referred to "consumable" and that doesn't make sense to me. I suspect it is a marketing tactic to get customers to accept and trust the pressure placed on them to get new cell phones every 2 years.
Consumable just means that the item is something that can be used up (and is then either gone or useless). The only item used in modern electronics I can think of that would fit this category would be non-rechargable batteries. Blank CD's I guess would kind of count.
Just about everything else is meant to be reused indefinitely (although everything has a lifetime of course).
Electronic cigarettes come under this category as being consumable. It is recommended that they be changed every two to three months. However, I have two that have been functioning for the past year, so I am sure that there will be a time coming soon when they will become defunct and will have to be replaced.
