Weekly Update 09/29/2010
Posted September 29th, 2010
Four weeks have now passed since the crew change. So much has been accomplished and there is still so much to be done. The garden is marching ahead as planned. A small house has been constructed to cover our new water pump. A dangerous tree has been cleared away. And the list goes on….
This week has been one of great focus and spiritual growth. All preparations were made and a full moon sweat lodge was held on Thursday evening. The positive mindset created by such a powerful happening carried straight through the weekend. As Friday arrived, so did all the guests for the Aum Tala Fundraiser. Thanks to Ian Boccio and Karen Dorfman's demonstrated experience everyone had a wonderful time. There was even time for everyone to pitch in on several projects to beautify the Hostel. We truly thank everyone that shows up and throws down the way this group did.After such a busy week, the departure of some fantastic staff and three straight days of rain, a time of relative rest and refocus has come upon us. We are now looking ahead to upcoming projects and exciting workshops. Please stay tuned and let us know what you are feeling by making a call to see how we are or coming for a visit and bringing your skills, wisdom and truths our way. Namaste. May the Forest Be With You

Weekly Update 09/20/2010
Posted September 21st, 2010
The past week at the Hostel started to see the benefits of our hard work and a bit of fun on the polish horseshoe court. There were two days of collecting firewood on St. Simon's Island, thanks to Mr. Allen Burns. A revolution came about in the kitchen as Bill Chalk, a skilled carpenter, showed up to design and build a new bulk food storage system and nifty spice racks to hold the numerous flavors that brighten our meals. Speaking of meals, the vegan dinners have continued to flow out of the kitchen like dietary gifts for the soul. Tomatoes were donated by Chokye and turned into a special red sauce. Muscadines were donated and harvested on site to become a quite delicious grape pie and two jars of super reduced muscadine sauce. To top it all off, Saturday was our garden guru Jeremy's birthday. This was the reason for an unprecedented bacon chocolate cake. The likes of which this manager has never seen before.
Upon Jeremy's return from Tallahassee, we were blessed with the finest organic seeds and seedlings provided by Turkey Hill Farm. The haul consisted of cabbage, kale, broccoli, collards, garlic, shallots, arugula, beets, carrots, fennel and parsley.We sincerely thank everyone for their beautiful energy and positive contributions to the Hostel. As long as you all keep coming and learning and sharing, this place will continue to flourish as a shining example of sustainable living practices in the southeast. Please keep an eye on our site and plan to participate in some of the upcoming workshops as they are posted. May the Forest Be With You

Weekly Update 09/13/2010
Posted September 13th, 2010
As the week flew by, we made much progress. The time for action is now and our team has embraced the opportunity to live in harmony with the Forest. All of the new energy that arrived two weeks ago is becoming grounded. Egg production is now being recorded and has doubled. The Secret Garden is still in transformation, but with the generosity of a local horse farm, much composted manure has made its way to the beds. Seeds are beginning to sprout and more have been laid to ensure a good succession of harvest throughout the coming months. We are currently searching for seedlings to add to the mix.
This past weekend brought the ever-inspiring knowledge of our favorite ethnobotanists: Marc Williams and Mycol Stevens. Beginning on Friday night with a slide show of several interesting species, the group geared up for a full slate of activities. Saturday morning began with an introduction to ethnobotany and a short plant walk to the glass house. After lunch everyone met at the lake for a much-needed swim that led directly into an extensive plant swim/walk around the property. With a current list of edible/medicinal plants in hand, many species were identified and discussed. We then took a break to dine on the fine vegan cuisine that comes out of our Soul Kitchen. Always delicious and always made with hefty doses of love.
Saturday night consisted of another mead-making workshop and the basics of fermentation. Samples were had by all and ingredients gathered from the day's activities were used in the new batch. The joyous atmosphere of the workshop and mead-tasting carried well into the night as laughter echoed all through Forest.
Sunday brought another full day of learning as we took the time to walk through the Secret Garden to identify the abundance of volunteer plant life growing amongst our food crops. Some invasives were discussed along with methods for eradication. After the morning walk the whole crew jumped into Bethany the RV for a trip to Jekyll Island and Driftwood Beach. The estuary was explored for edibles and we scoured the beach for interesting specimens. Some "chicken of the woods" fungi were harvested and turned out to be quite delicious. As the day moved on, the rains came and we all decided to take a spontaneous swim in the ocean. With the feeling of love and joy very high, we were all blessed with the site of dolphins, fish and several rainbows that came and went. It was the most amazing end to an educationally immersive weekend.
We would like to thank everyone that participated and brought their loving spirits and positive attitudes. We would especially like to thank Phil who brought us some homemade mulberry and mayhaw jams from the panhandle of Florida, Marianna who brought a basket full of fresh organic vegetables from a farm in Gainesville and Amanda who traded us a very exquisite hammock made by weavers in the village of Peguche, Ecuador. More information about this fairtrade cottage industry can be found here.
I am making a call out to all you hostelers for involvement and inspiration. Please let us know if you have a skill, knowledge or idea and would like to share them with us. We are always looking for ways to promote the path of consciousness and sustainability.
The old-timers at The Hostel will remember that today, September 13th, is a special day… so raise your glass of Miller High-Life.. and celebrate on Louise's day of remembrance.
Peace to all and may the Forest Be With YouRyan
Weekly Update 09/07/2010
Posted September 7th, 2010
Spirits here are high and the absence of our beloved Hart is still fresh. All gratitude is given to the energy that has sustained here and to the new energy that has recently arrived. This week has been full of conscious action and the opportunity to live by example is gleaming in our eyes. As new staff get acquainted with the bountiful activities of the Forest, positive change is seen around every corner.
The Hostel was blessed with a great cast of characters this Labor Day weekend as guests came and went, bringing with them intention and leaving with fervor. A fabulous mead-making workshop was offered on Saturday night by our very own Critter. The result was five gallons of elderberry honey mead that should be ready just in time for the cooler months of fall. Thank you to all of the attendees and the helping hands that picked, processed and crushed all of the berries on site.
The fall garden is slowly taking shape after reclaiming the Secret Garden from the wilds of summer. Lettuce, beets, radishes and spinach have been seeded. We expect the ground to be fully sewn in time for the full moon.
All of our free-range exotic chickens have also been getting a lot of attention. New roosts, feed systems and water troughs should go a long way to solidifying their schedule and getting them comfortable enough to offer us top quality eggs everyday.
Saving the best for last, the Hostel in the Forest is now an official 501©(3) non profit organization. So if you love this place and have thought about donating in the past, now is the time! You can now receive a tax deduction for helping sustain this wondrous place. Thank you so much to the Board for everything they have done to make this a reality. Without their time and love, none of this would be possible.
Looking ahead, we are excited about all we have planned and always looking for great ideas on educational workshops, sustainable systems, healthy living and anything else that contributes to the betterment of our community. Please contact us if the passion moves you.

> What do you think? Can I commit the patch I attached?
All the event types you added are C-level events which set_trace_func can
not monitor. But I think that RUBY_EVENT_RESCUE may be Ruby-level event
because it is a language-level event like RUBY_EVENT_RAISE.
In addition, the modification of thread_reset_event_flags is just bug fix.
So, in advance, the part should be committed as another commit.

Gross, I just watched a bunch of Extreme Couponers with my sisters….It makes me feel bad about live for several contradicting reasons.
I wish I could extreme coupon for Christmas. I don't know, maybe I can. I haven't looked.
Enough of the Pity Party!
I LOVE GIVING GIFTS! Right?! It really is awesome. I am new to this feeling, not being very old and very recently being able to buy things for people with my own money. But there are very few things that feel as good as giving a really well thought out, personal, awesome fucking gift!
My dad was/is the best gift giver I have ever known. Him and my mom don't go so well together, but even she admits to his amazing taste in jewelry and clothing and overall appropriate gift-ness. We once gave her a necklace and earrings that was in several larger boxes, one of which was filled with golf balls. If we want you to be really excited about a gift, we make you first believe that you will never in a million god-damned years get it…so that when you do you cry, we laugh, then you laugh while hitting us and then eventually hug us. It's a great experience! Seriously!
Now all I have to do is pass this gift on over to my boyfriend so I can feel the love too. Our first Christmas while living together. He won't even know what hit him.

Editor's note
The following abstract describes a publication that is intended for print distribution or as a downloadable PDF. Please see links to the PDF file and ordering information on this page.
The U.S. is blessed with a diverse portfolio of natural resources. Not least among them is our vast timberland. About 42 percent of the nation's forestlands are in private ownership. Mostly, these are family owned forests. The objectives of these family forest owners vary widely. Whatever their purpose, these families have a large economic stake in one of America's crown jewels — its forestland. The reality is that the vast majority of these privately owned, family forests will change hands over the next several decades as the current generation of owners ages. Often, the intent is to keep these important assets in the family for future generations. However, the pressures and realities that family forest owners face today are likely to prevent this from happening unless steps are taken to prepare for the transfer. This publication is about helping the current owners of family forestland assess their situations and prepare for a successful transition to the next generation of owners.

Kind Mankind est un .... a simple collaborative platform for independent changemakers. It connects pro-active volunteers with true grassroots initiatives that need their help.
Open Volunteering Directory
On first sight, Kind Mankind thus simply aspires to be a kind of global Volunteering Directory. It is freely accessible and offers the visitor a quick and comprehensive interface to a large number of volunteering initiatives around the globe. It lists a variety of "initiatives" related to "simply doing something good": solid Volunteering Opportunities (volunteer classical placements) are among our initiatives, but also and especially tiny struggling project.
Courtesy of the existing websites independentvolunteer.org and volunteersouthamerica.net the website currently lists about 600 Initiatives around the world.
So what's New?
You might ask yourself what is the difference with the many existing listings and websites? Well, that difference is subtle but worthwile:
- We are reaching out. We practice what we preach and reach out actively to grass-roots initiatives that really need help. And we inspire our growing community to do the same. We treat our database with tender care;
- It's simple. A direct what/where search. A quick list or a map. And we are always open to suggestions to make it even better;
- It's community driven. We add a simple and low-cost but effective method to generate trust by enabling our community to mention their reviews in social profiles such as couchsurfing.org, facebook connect, linked in and that innovative technology that will come out next year, too.
* Note: new flashy internet (volunteering) startups seem to require at least 100,000 USD to get started. We just do it. It would be nice if the hundreds of hours we have put in this will eventually help the true grassroots.
Reviews, References, Trust
How can the organisations listed on Kind Mankind be trusted? This is a difficult problem but our virtual social reality offers a quick and clean solution: through social network User Profiles, such as CouchSurfing, Facebook and LinkedIn. Volunteers vouching for a trusted initiative will also refer back to their experience on their profiles, thus adding credentials to the review they write.
Established Volunteer Agencies won't need that - but our website is concentrating more on the tiny struggling grassroots. They are in dire need of reviews, references, shared contacts, media exposure, interconnectedness - and the kindmankind community can help them fast forward that process that used to take years of energy.
Joy Valley Orphan home and school is an initiative in Nairobi, Kenya. It is extremely poor and depends on charity. Food is prepared on open fires in a makeshift hut, the children's dormitories are infested with rats - and therefore, snakes. The walls around the small compound, that is in Kayole practically on a garbage dump, are high to protect the 100 children from ruthless rapists.
Sometimes, someone with a sustainable idea comes along and the older girls start sewing for income generation or a chicken run is built. But there are no NGOs here because you won't find Joy Valley if you get in through the official channels. But one independent changemaker can tip the scale here by starting income generation, sharing expertise, telling the story back home, fundraise, teach, build a roof.
It's challenging because this is not an established organisation. It needs the help of us independent changemakers to become one.
What's next? Development and how you can help
Currently, kind mankind is under development by a small number of people (2) and hosting is privately funded by its founder, Kamiel Verwer. If you believe in this idea as strongly as he does, you might want to help with its further development. Here are a few suggestions of how you could help make this better:
- Tell your friends about this and ask them to help us getting as many amazing initiatives listed and reviewed here;
- Suggest a design that can compete in our flashy world and increases the usability of the site;
- Help out with technical stuff (server space, programming, SEO);
- Make a donation (a monetary one, or simply a few encouraging words) to the idealists behind this site.

Tooth Removal
While the goal of most patients and dentists is to ensure you don't lose any teeth, there are times that tooth removal, also known as tooth extractions, are necessary to protect the health of your remaining teeth.
There are several situations where it becomes necessary to remove a tooth. These include the following:
Baby Teeth – Tooth Removal
For the most part, baby teeth fall out on their own without any help, but occasionally, a baby tooth can have an extra long root or a root that is misshapen that keeps it from falling out as it should. If this is the case, then it may become necessary for a dentist to remove the tooth, so the permanent tooth has the room and opportunity to erupt properly.
Decaying Teeth – Tooth Removal
If you find yourself in a situation where one of your teeth has a lot of decay, it can become necessary to have the tooth removed. This is due to the fact that the decaying tooth can actually put the teeth around it in jeopardy and put them at risk of decay as well. A bridge, partial denture, or an implant may be used to replace the missing tooth.
Additional Reasons for Tooth Removal
There are a number of other reasons a tooth may need to be removed. These include but are not limited to:
- Wisdom tooth issues
- Trauma to a tooth
- Advanced gum disease
- Orthodontic correction
- Infection
After a Tooth is Removed
Once a tooth is removed, it is possible for the surrounding teeth to shift which can result in changes with chewing and impact your jaw joint function. Your dental care team will discuss replacement options that will be best suited for your care.

Wind-Farm Developers Win Biggest Share of Brazil Auction
June 7, 2014 by Jeff
Filed under Green Energy News
Wind-farm developers including Casa
dos Ventos Energias Renovaveis Ltda were the biggest winners in
a Brazil power auction today after the government agreed to
raise the starting bid.
Developers won contracts to sell 968 megawatts of capacity
from 22 wind and large hydroelectric projects, with 551
megawatts coming from wind farms, Sao Paulo-based electricity
trading board CCEE said today on its website. Biomass, small
hydropower plants and thermoelectric plants weren't included in
the event.
Brazil gets more than 70 percent of its energy from
hydroelectric dams, and is seeking to increase capacity and
diversify its power sources as the worst drought in more than 40
years cuts output. The government raised the starting price
after local-content regulations boosted the cost of equipment.
Brazil had the world's cheapest wind energy in 2012.
Casa dos Ventos and other wind developers agreed to sell
electricity at an average of 129.97 reais ($57.89) a megawatt-hour, below a ceiling price of 133 reais. In Brazil's energy
auctions, the government sets a ceiling price and developers bid
down the price at which they are willing to sell power. The
lowest bids win contracts.
Santo Antonio Energia SA also won the rights to expand its
Santo Antonio dam in the Amazon region, after bidding to sell
417 megawatts of capacity for 121 reais a megawatt-hour, the
ceiling for hydropower. The company received an injunction
yesterday blocking it from participating in the auction because
of questions about its environmental licenses. The injunction
was lifted today.
Solar Auction
Solar farms weren't eligible to participate in the auction.
The government will award 20-year contracts for photovoltaic
plants larger than 5 megawatts in a so-called reserve energy
auction that will take place on Oct. 10. It will be the first-ever national energy auction with a separate category for solar
Only 22 projects participated in the auction, far less than
268 that were initially authorized to take part by Brazil's
Energy Research Agency, known as EPE.
"The projects authorized for this auction are
automatically authorized for the two next ones," Mauricio
Tolmasquim, the head of EPE, told reporters in Sao Paulo. "We
are going to see an increase of supply of wind energy in the
next auctions."

I've used GIK products in the past with great results - outstanding performance vs price. I really like the appearance of the new Impression series but am confused over the difference between those and the Alpha series - is there a performance difference or just different appearance?
Very good question! With so many different GIK options--and because I was new to them, and treatments in general--I made the decision not to try and compare products in my article. A good subject for a follow up perhaps! I do believe there is a performance difference. I'm sure GIK will weigh in as to what those differences are.

How to: Give Boring Closet Doors an Inexpensive, Architectural Makeover
When Janet Lee first moved into her tiny studio apartment, it was a blank box of white walls and neutral parquet floors. As a renter, she wasn't able to add any actual architectural details for visual interest, so she faked the look by bringing plenty of depth to her bland folding closet doors, creating an inexpensive and removable solution that anyone can do at home.
Janet's project comes from YouTube's SPACEStv home and design channel, and their new series called "Tiny, Eclectic, Amazing Spaces," which profiles people who are living large in small spaces.
In the first episode, Janet Lee, DIY interior designer and author of the recently released small space living book, Living in a Nutshell, shares her unique design solutions:

And how exactly does Mayor-elect Warren intend to enact her education platform without pushing for mayoral control? Without any legal authority to enact education policy, her proposals are simply hot air (not that that's anything new). Time to start mobilizing the community against this assault on the public education system.
We're already dealing with an out of control police force, and Councilmember Adam McFadden's solution is to give Chief Sheppard and his thugs a blank check to sweep the streets? How about some real solutions like ending the Drug War and a serious conversation on ending the school-to-prison-pipeline.

10 P.M. (Starz Cinema) PLEASE GIVE (2010) Two Manhattan families collide in this film from Nicole Holofcener, when Kate and Alex (Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt, above), who run a store specializing in furniture acquired from the apartments of the dead, angle to take over the place of their irascible next door neighbor. She is Andra (Ann Guilbert), who comes with two granddaughters: the spiky Mary (Amanda Peet) and repressed Rebecca (Rebecca Hall). Sarah Steele plays Kate's teenage daughter, Abby, who wishes her mother would address some of her generosity — she doles out cash to homeless people — toward her. "Few American filmmakers create female characters as realistically funny, attractively imperfect and flat-out annoying," Manohla Dargis wrote in The New York Times. "You may not love them, but you recognize their charms and frailties, their fears and hopes. They may remind you of your friends, your sisters or even yourself, which makes them attractive and sometimes off-putting, an unusual, complicated mix."
7 P.M. (13, 49) PBS NEWSHOUR Miles O'Brien reports on the continuing impact of the meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan three years ago.
8 P.M. (Epix) THE CURRENT (2014) The surfer Bethany Hamilton, who was 13 when she lost an arm in a shark attack; the Olympic swimmer Missy Franklin; and the wrestler Anthony Robles are featured in this documentary, directed by Kurt Miller, about the healing power of water sports. Jean-Michel Cousteau and his son, Fabien, narrate.
8 P.M. (HBO2) LOVE, MARILYN (2012) Actors and various contemporaries recite from recently discovered diaries and letters written by Marilyn Monroe, above, in what David DeWitt, writing in The Times, called "a respectful love letter to Monroe," who is presented by the director, Liz Garbus, "as a sexpot, feminist and Tennessee Williams heroine come to life, noble in her respect and need for a sensitive, considerate humanity." Some, like Glenn Close, Viola Davis and Uma Thurman, nail their readings. Others, like Ben Foster, "get a bit cringe-worthy," Mr. DeWitt said. "But the intelligence and dynamism of Ms. Garbus's approach could hardly fail to make you appreciate Monroe's growth as an actor." The documentary includes footage of Monroe performing or giving interviews. "More so," Mr. DeWitt added, "you'll have sympathy for the hard-working woman whose self-improvement lists included exhortations of things she 'must' do and 'never' should do."
9 P.M. (NBC) LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT After Detective Rollins (Kelli Giddish) is recognized as a police officer while visiting an illegal gambling club, she buys the silence of the managers (Donal Logue and Sherri Saum) — and reduces her debt — by cutting a deal to make their violations disappear. But when they aren't satisfied by the outcome, she takes yet another turn at the table, loses big and becomes a crime suspect. In "Chicago P.

A transportation service that connects seniors with vans, shuttles and taxis in their area has expanded to all cities across San Diego County plus the communities of Ramona and Spring Valley, officials said last week.
RideFACT, a dial-a-ride service for ages 60 and older, previously was limited to Escondido, Poway and Rancho Bernardo.
"I am so pleased that we are now able to expand this critical transportation service to all cities in our county," said Dave Roberts, chairman of Full Access & Coordinated Transportation , the Oceanside-based nonprofit organizing RideFACT, in a press release. "It is our (responsibility) to improve the quality of life for all residents of San Diego County and this service expansion is just one innovative example of how we are doing just that."
Roberts is a Solana Beach councilman and candidate for the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. He and Steve Danon, chief of staff for Rep. Brian Bilbray, are competing for the county office.
The nonprofit describes RideFACT as a brokerage service for senior transportation, doing the legwork to connect riders with existing vans, shuttles and taxis already in their area.
The service is funded by grants totaling $525,000 from the San Diego Association of Governments , the region's transportation planning agency, said Arun Prem, the nonprofit's executive director.
Prem said the funding should sustain the service for the next three years. He added that RideFACT could be extended to Valley Center and Fallbrook in the future.
One-way fares begin at $2.50 for travel up to five miles.
Transportation is available from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, the nonprofit said.
Reservations, which must be requested one to seven days in advance, can be made between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays.
Call 760-754-1252 or 1-888-924-3228.

Le Pouf P'tit
|Le Pouf P'tit, 2011
by Gaby De la O.
Ink, pencil colours on paper, 149 x 210 cm.
"I love your little dolls!" she says when I finally decide to hang all the canvas Poufs in my room. Now that I'm back home, she makes sure I feel welcome. My mother, who silently doesn't want to bother. She keeps quiet when I don't want to talk, and hugs me for hours when I cry. This is for her, le Pouf P'tit. A little inky Pouf, just like her, cute and small. I added pencil colour and some gold twists. I'm glad I finished it today, tomorrow I'll wrap it up and leave it with a note.

Protecting Taxpayers
Government needs to learn to live within its means, just like individual taxpayers must do during tough economic times.
Our state budget process must include accountability measures and results from the entities that continue to ask for more tax dollars. The budget process must prioritize the essential expenditures of government, thereby separating the needs of government from the wants of special interests.
According to Americans for Tax Reform (ATR), Pennsylvania taxpayers had to work
197 days
in 2012 to pay off their
federal, state and local taxes
In March 2015, the House State Government Committee advanced the Taxpayer Protection Act which would Constitutionally limit the future growth of state government spending using a rate of either a change in the Consumer Price Index or a change of population during the previous fiscal year.
I have signed the
ATR Taxpayer Protection Pledge
and I will continue to vote against any and every tax increase considered by the General Assembly.
In past sessions I have proposed legislation for property tax elimination, known as the
Real Property Tax Elimination Act
. This legislation would restore the Constitutional right of property owners to truly own their land. For more information on the legislation, click

Budget Debate Highlights Pennsylvania's Need for Fundamental Tax and Pension Reform
Despite very different opinions on how to fix the budget, Pennsylvania legislators and the governor have agreed on something: there is a $1.2 billion budget shortfall. In the words of Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Pat Browne, "That's progress. We know where we're starting from." However, the two sides are still very far from reaching a final budget agreement. Governor Wolf recently vetoed the Republican controlled legislature's budget and negotiations between Republican legislators and the administration have stalled.
House poised to vote on property tax reform on Wednesday

Today's card uses Graduation Tilda from the new Magnolia Graduation Collection, which has just arrived in the Magnolia-Licious Store. There was a thread on SCS about how people are intimidated by the Magnolias because of all the layers and coloring work they see, so I thought I would show you how a Magnolia card doesn't have to be super ornate or layered.
The image was colored with the Copic markers you see above (of course I forgot to add the warm grays W1 and W3 I used to ground her). I kept thinking of the song Wide Open Spaces, and wanted a lot of open, clean space to surround Tilda as her future is open with possibilities. I also wanted her to glow as she is the shining star for the day, so surrounded her with yellow "light".
I tried something new (for me) and stamped Tilda onto 140lb Watercolor Paper. This is usually a no-no as it is a "thirsty" paper that soaks up and wastes Copic ink, but I layed a good coat of Colorless Blender first and really like the result. The ink moved beautifully on the watercolor paper, and the slight nubbed texture reminded me of classic graduation notices.
Floating Acetate
To create the floating acetate sentiment I embossed the Graduation Diploma and Graduate Books onto watercolor paper with Ranger Antique Gold Embossing Powder in Roman Gold, which has a deep, old gold EP combined with holographic glitter for sparkle.
The sentiment, Tomorrow is a Blank Page, was stamped with Staz-On onto acetate, then put over the books with foam dimensionals. Dew Drops cover up the foam.
I absolutely love the look of the floating acetate sentiment, pictures do not do it justice so you will have to trust me that it is most awesome and you must try it :)
The base of the card is Bazzill Bling in a pearlized cream shade; Tilda is matted with a deep pearlized chocolate Bazzill Bling, then The Paper Company's Arctic Gold, which is a cool gold textweight paper. Everything is cut with Nestabilities by Spellbinders. The watercolor paper is edged with Krylon Gold Leaf pen.
I added Yellow Stickles to the Dew Drops, Tilda's tassel and diploma.
Thank you so much for stoppin' by! I hope you have a wonderful, sunny and creative day :)

Monday Medical: Hospice focuses on the present
November 19, 2012
Hospice clients frequently choose to float into rest to the calming sounds of Tom Litteral's Native American flute. Surprisingly, one client didn't want to simply listen to the flute — she wanted to learn to play.
This favorite memory from Litteral's experience as a hospice volunteer illustrates the meaning of hospice: helping people live the best they can in the here and now.
"Yes, we are talking about end of life," Litteral explained. "But right now, in this moment, we are talking about what you need to do for yourself and your loved ones."
Litteral is one of 20 volunteers with the Hospice and Palliative Care program at the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association. Hospice team members collaborate to help individuals facing a terminal diagnosis to get their affairs in order and find peace and comfort in their final days.
Hospice care can be delivered by a family member in a person's home, by hospice care professionals and volunteers at the Rollingstone Respite House in Steamboat Springs, or both. One client living in a remote area recently stayed at Rollingstone Respite House during the day while her husband/caregiver worked. The Respite House is not a licensed medical facility, but it offers a day care option for families who cannot care for their loved ones full time.
Hospice support also is available for hospitalized patients and skilled nursing facility residents. Hospice staff and volunteers offer emotional support to facility staff, as well as clients and families.
Recommended Stories For You
The hospice team includes nurses, who manage clients' pain and symptoms, and nursing assistants, who assist with bathing and other personal care. Hospice social workers help clients and families organize documents and details that can feel overwhelming.
Spiritual counselors aid clients in reconnecting with their faith or reflecting on their lives. Bereavement staff also is available to counsel families for more than a year after the death of a loved one.
Hospice volunteers help clients with nonclinical needs, such as running errands, cooking, grocery shopping or simply holding their hand and offering a willing ear. Everything is confidential.
"Sometimes the honesty of a conversation with a stranger is extremely valuable," Litteral said.
Hospice staff matches each client with the best volunteer to help meet a client's needs, but the client and his or her family determine who is there to help at the end of life. Hospice staff focuses on building trust with the client and family. Trust adds to the depth and quality of a client's experience while allowing his or her family peace of mind to work or attend to other needs, Litteral said.
The inherent sincerity and candor of focusing on life in the present and helping fulfill a person's wishes can be a very special experience for volunteers as well as clients and their families.
"It's real — there's a lot of laughter and a few tears here and there — there's no faking it," Litteral said.
Hospice begins with a doctor's referral for a person who has a life expectancy of nine months or less. Hospice staff initially consults with the family to evaluate how the program can meet their needs.
The sooner a client and his or her family request hospice services, the better the experience, Litteral said. Staff and volunteers need time to develop trusting bonds with clients and help them resolve unfinished life matters.
The VNA Hospice and Palliative Care program operates in Routt and Moffat counties. Medicare and Medicaid cover most hospice costs. Hospice information is available by calling Katy Thiel at 970-871-7628.
Tamera Manzanares is a community outreach specialist for the Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association.

Conversations LIVE: Ask me anything with Stephen Elop (Recap)
Since the announcement last September that Microsoft would be purchasing Nokia's mobile phone division, there have been many questions swirling around as to what this will mean for the future of both companies. Earlier today, Nokia Conversations hosted a Q&A session with Nokia's former CEO, Stephen Elop, in an attempt to answer these questions from Nokia's devoted fans. This comes just days after purchase was finalized, transforming it into Microsoft Mobile Oy. For those of you who missed it, here are some highlights.
Rebranding Nokia Oyj
One of the newest developments that surfaced just days before was that Microsoft would phase out Nokia's brand name and instead be referred to as Microsoft Mobile Oy. While it was clear that current Nokia devices would remain under the current brand name, there were questions as to whether or not Microsoft would continue to use it going forward with new devices. According to Elop, "Nokia as a brand will not be used for long going forward for smartphones." He states that they are working on selecting the new brand name, as "Microsoft Mobile Oy is a legal construct that was created to facilitate the merger." He couldn't share precise details, but assures us that they are working on a brand that rolls off the tongue much better than the "Nokia Lumia 1020 with Windows Phone on the AT&T LTE Network". But really, who even says that?
Pace of Innovation
One of the benefits that comes with Microsoft absorbing Nokia's talent is that it will allow Windows Phone to grow even faster. "By combining with MSFT," says Elop, "we will each be able to innovate together in ways that we could not as separate companies." This will alleviate any inconsistencies in both hardware and software that became apparent with the previous partnership between the companies. Microsoft would push an update to try and keep up with Nokia's pace, adding support for higher resolution screens and cameras, and Nokia would follow shortly after with their own update (i.e. Amber, Black, Cyan), providing users with even more useful software goodies to improve the overall experience. Now Microsoft has access to all of that, giving them the ability to push advance software to all Windows Phone devices going forward. Elop addressed this when questioned about the Lumia 1020's lack of a dedicated camera processing unit (such as that found in the 808 PureView). "We could have gone further if the engineering teams between MSFT and Nokia were not in separate companies. As we come together, innovation will be able to move faster." This includes Nokia's imaging prowess.
Nokia X
"This is a great opportunity to connect new customers…"
A couple months ago, the Nokia X family was unveiled at Mobile World Congress, the first Nokia devices to run (a form of) Android OS. It was a bold, yet somewhat confusing move for a company that was in the midst of being sucked into Microsoft, a direct competitor to Google's operating system. As Elop explains, the Nokia X family will continue to be supported by Microsoft "to help connect the next billion people to Microsoft's services." This is due to Nokia's own forked version of Android allowing them to get away with leaving Google out of the picture and filling the OS with Nokia and Microsoft services such as Outlook.com, Skype, OneDrive, and others. Elop assures that Nokia's decision to adopt Android was a good one, allowing them to attack a specific market "in a way that accrues benefit to Microsoft and to Lumia."
Apps & Services
So what does this mean for Nokia's apps such as MixRadio, Nokia TV, Nokia Camera, etc? Elop acknowledges that apps like these are critical for differentiation, stating that "you will see these themes continue." Whatever that means. He also goes on to talk about his own favorite apps in the Windows Phone store, such as Track My Life, ATIS (essential for pilots), and Uber.
While Nokia has been all about color and sticking out amongst the crowd, Microsoft is known for it's more conservative approach to its devices (take a look at the XBoxOne). According to Elop, we will continue to see this colorful personality in Microsoft moving forward, pointing out the new Microsoft ad that was released today (after the break).
After Nokia's partnership with Microsoft saw the gravitation of WP marketshare move to over 90% in their favor, people began questioning whether or not this was discouraging other OEMs to take Windows Phone seriously. That question remains today, but Elop is certain that with this new acquisition along with other measures that have been put in place by Microsoft to drive adoption, OEMs are heavily encouraged to build Windows Phone devices. "Our intent is for the Microsoft Devices Group to "make the market" so that others can participate, so we will be doing things to facilitate other OEMs as much as possible." Sounds very Nexus of them.
Trojan Horse
"I have only ever worked on behalf of and for the benefit of Nokia shareholders while at Nokia."
Shortly after Elop was appointed CEO of Nokia from Microsoft, he announced the partnership between the two companies that spurred much speculated that he was planted there simply as a benefit to Microsoft and that it was part of a plan to buy Nokia. Fast-forward 2 years later and those fears have definitely come true, but both companies are in slightly different places than they were back then. Nokia grew much more of a presence in the US becoming at one point the 4th largest OEM, and Windows Phone has pretty much surpassed Blackberry as a 3rd viable OS, even besting iOS in many markets around the world.
As for killing Symbian and MeeGo, Elop explained that the former was not a viable candidate against iOS (very true) and that the latter was suffering from delays "and did not have the promise of a broad enough portfolio soon enough [to compete]." I remember how long it took for Nokia to actually unveil the N9 after a year or two of leaks, and even after it received praise from fans, it was just one device. And let's face it, Nokia isn't Apple, and wouldn't be able to make it off of this one flagship device alone. Many may not have liked it, but as Elop puts it, "we had to make a forceful decision to give Nokia the chance to compete again." This was highlighted in his famous "Burning Platform" letter to Nokia employees, which Elop also addressed. "We brought urgency into the organization and within 6 months we produced our first two Windows Phone devices. This was faster than we had ever gone before and marked the beginning of our cultural change."
But despite all the backlash he received from Nokia fans, he does not regret his time as CEO. "The last few years had been both the most challenging and rewarding of my career." says Elop, also pointing out the growth of Nokia in NSN, HERE and Advanced Technologies. "Like virtually everyone at Nokia, we worked harder and committed more of ourselves to this mission than anything before."

Peter Brookes: Pulling them from the Provo: Fly fishing Utah
The last time I went fly fishing in the winter, I was still very new to the sport. I was so new that I wasn't sure if the ice cold river water leaking into my waders was — or wasn't — normal.
As a summer fly fisherman up to that point, I'd never worn waders before. Being a "noob" — and a guy — I was too embarrassed to ask the guide if the waders were supposed to leak.
Perhaps, I thought, fishing waders might be like a scuba diving wet suits. Wet suits are porous and let water in against the skin to be slightly warmed by the body's heat as opposed to a dry suit that keeps all water out.
I now know better.
The cold water sloshing around in my fishing boots — added to the fact that it was below freezing on the river as evidenced by the icicles hanging from my fly rod's line guides — made me swear off winter fly fishing for at least six years.
About the same time feeling returned to my toes.
But I was heading West in the late winter this year and had heard that the fishing in Utah could be quite good. I decided that while out in Salt Lake City, I'd check it out in an Oscar Wildesque "triumph of hope over experience" moment.
A referral told me to give Rocky Mountain Outfitters (www.rockymtnoutfitters.com) a call out in Midway, Utah, and I did. Thankfully, it was some good, free advice that turned out to be a great choice.
For instance, they offer a "No fish, no pay, no kidding" guarantee.
It turns out that Midway is about an hour and some change on the highway from Salt Lake City, just over the hill from world-class skiing in Park City and, best of all for the angler, the shop is just steps from the blue ribbon Provo River.
I mean, from meeting my guide at Rocky Mountain Outfitters, to gearing up at the shop, to driving to the parking lot, to walking to the river and having a fly line in the water was probably half an hour — at most.
The backdrop once we got there wasn't bad, either. We had a mild day temperature-wise, the sun was shining and bluebird skies were hanging over the snow-covered peaks of the Wasatch Mountains, making for some terrific scenery between casts.
The guide, Ryan Stokes, told me that we'd be fishing the middle section of the Provo River, a tailwater running out of the nearby Jordanelle Reservoir. This means that even in winter the water will be temperate enough for there to be a good bite.
Stokes also said that the Provo has lots of trout in it at some 5,000 fish per mile — which probably explains the confidence in, and low incidence of, the "no fish, no pay, no kidding" guarantee.
Of course, the claim that the Provo River has 5,00o fish per mile would put it in the same category as some of Montana's best waters like the Beaverhead and Madison Rivers. Heck, even I should be able to catch some fish, right?
To that point, Stokes told me that we'd be chasing brown trout, but the numbers might be limited since it was a half-day trip and it was winter. He said we'd do OK to get five fish … 10 fish on a good day.
He was kind of right.
We started fishing with some No. 22-24 midge nymph patterns on a 10-foot 3-weight rod, drifting two flies on "bounce rig" (weight below the flies) through a deep pool near a bend in the river.
I quickly started bringing buttery browns to hand. The fish weren't big — in the 10- inch to 14-inch range — but, in truth, I told Stokes that I preferred lots of angling action to hooking a few big fish, which the Provo does have in other sections.
And, oh yeah, my waders didn't leak — bonus!
We also found a nearby soft pocket where the fish were voraciously hitting emergers. We tied on a dry fly pattern common in Utah called the "Mother Shucker," which imitates an adult midge that gets caught up in its casing.
We ended up taking 25-plus browns that morning.
I think it's fair to say that I'm over my winter fly fishing phobia, cured by Rocky Mountain Outfitters, the Provo River and Ryan Stokes. In fact, I recommend celebrating winter with some fishing, but skip the leaky waders.

Fears about West Nile-infected mosquitoes in San Mateo County are in the air since a squirrel, which is unlikely to have traveled very far, was confirmed to be carrying the virus.
The case is this year's first confirmed in the county. The dead squirrel was found July 28.
While the case is not likely to trigger an epidemic, officials at the county's Mosquito and Vector Control District are concerned that the squirrel may have contracted the virus locally.
"Squirrels don't travel very far, so when we find one that's infected, it means the virus was contracted in the area," vector ecologist Angie Nakano said. "Infected squirrels indicate that there are infected mosquitoes nearby."
The West Nile virus is transmitted through bites by infected mosquitoes. Finding an infected squirrel is greater cause for concern than an infected bird, which could have flown in from an outside area where the virus is present, Nakano said.
Last year, the county only had one case of West Nile, which was confirmed in a bird found in Redwood City.
When the virus first arrived in California in 2004, San Mateo County saw around 10 cases, but the numbers have dropped over the past few years and Nakano said the county generally only sees one or two cases per year.
"It's possible that cooler weather has slowed the transmission cycle or a natural immunity has been building up in the wild population of birds," said Nakano.
All confirmed cases in San Mateo County have been in animals, with no human cases to date. Santa Clara and Contra Costa counties have had human cases in the past, but the infections were not contracted locally.
Now that a local squirrel has tested positive for West Nile virus, Nakano said people need to be aware that the possibility of infection is still a source of concern.
"Public interest isn't there anymore because the virus isn't in the news," Nakano said. "It's important that people report sick or dead animals so we can detect the virus before it has the ability to spread to humans."
The Mosquito and Vector Control District recommends that people take precautionary measures to prevent exposure to infected mosquitoes, including draining standing-water sources, avoiding outdoor activities at dusk or dawn, using insect repellents with DEET and dressing in long sleeves and pants if in an area with mosquitoes.

Outlines of English and American Literature
Problem Novels
Long, William J.
Aside from the realistic movement, our recent fiction is like a river flowing sluggishly over hidden bowlders: the surface is so broken by whirlpools, eddies and aimless flotsam that it is difficult to determine the main current. Here our attention is attracted by clever stories of "society in the making," there by somber problem-novels dealing with city slums, lonely farms, department stores, political rings, business corruption, religious creeds, social injustice,--with every conceivable matter that can furnish a novelist not with a story but with a cry for reform. The propaganda novel is evidently a favorite in America; but whether it has any real influence in reforming abuses, as the novels of Dickens led to better schools and prisons in England, is yet to be determined.
Occasionally appears a reform novel great enough to make us forget the reform, such as Helen Hunt Jackson's
(1884). This famous story began as an attempt to plead the cause of the oppressed Indian, to do for him what
Uncle Tom's Cabin
was supposed to have done for the negro; it ended in an idyllic story so well told that readers forgot to cry, "Lo, the poor Indian," as the author intended. At the present time
is not classed with the problem-novels but with the most readable of American romances.

Every year, we conduct ten, week-long expeditions. Each week, about ten spots will be available on board for both researchers and volunteers. We invite anyone who has an interest in the sea to join our expeditions. Pack your bag and join us on board, not as a passenger, but as part of our research team. You don't need any experience sailing or in science, just a positive spirit and a desire to learn. Artists, photographers, dreamers and doers are welcome!
We believe anyone can be a change maker. As part of our team, you will help us collect data we need to monitor the health of whales, dolphins and turtles around the Balearic Islands. During the day, we will sail in the beautiful azure waters of the Balearic Sea, on the lookout for marine life. At night, we moor in the natural shelter of the island of Cabrera, a unique natural reserve. If you like sleeping under the stars and close encounters with marine life, this is the adventure for you.
Why sail with us?
Our laboratory is the open sea. We will track sea turtles, sperm whales and other great pelagic species to study the way marine ecosystems function. You will have the opportunity of supporting a great conservation programme while learning about life in the Mediterranean. In one week, you will be part of an adventure that combines cutting-edge science, teamwork, fun and friendship. All of the proceeds from the program help us fund our research and conservation programs. At the same time, they allow us to share our passion for marine life and exploration with the public. Our expeditions are unique and authentic, with the clear and specific objective of studying and conserving the ocean's natural and cultural treasures.
Will I be expected to participate in the science?
All of our crew is expected to help out during survey time. This can include duties like spotting sea life, writing in the logbook, cooking, taking photos and helping with the sailing. No one will be asked to do anything they don't want to do, but we encourage everyone to get stuck in and help out where they can. When the weather doesn't permit surveying, the expedition ship will turn into an open air museum to engage visiting families and kids about the dangers of marine litter and plastic pollution.
What will we discover?
The Balearic Basin is home to a rich variety of underwater and avian species. During your time on board, you will learn all about these animals and if you keep a sharp eye, you will be able to spot them. Some examples of the species we might encounter are bottlenose dolphins, pilot whales, sperm whales, cormorants, sea turtles and Risso's dolphins, among others! Some of the activities we might carry out include the tagging of Carretta carretta, the loggerhead sea turtle, getting close enough to identify dolphin and whale families and looking out for tuna. We will also be on the lookout for beautiful Balearic shearwaters and other amazing sea birds. Starting this summer, we will also be performing manta trawls, measuring the amount of microplastic particles in the sea. To find out more about the science we carry out on board, follow the link below.
Can I get university credit?
Yes. Contact us to find out more about our student program on-board. We also offer an Open Ocean Monitoring Course.
When can I join and are there spaces left?
Our expeditions generally go out during the summer and are a week long. Scroll down to our Survey Dates to find out about dates and see how many places are left. You can use our online payment system to secure your space directly.
How much does it cost and where does my money go towards?
One week on board the Toftevaag will cost you 990 Euros (TBC for this year 2017). This will cover your food and room on-board and a week of sailing. Below is a chart that breaks down how we use the money to cover the survey costs.
What is life like on-board our ship?

President Obama plans to announce Thursday that Americans can keep existing health insurance policies for a year as companies and consumers adjust to the new demands of the health care law, CNN reports.
Insurance companies must also notify consumers of what those policies lack, and of options they have for better coverage under the new law known as Obamacare, according to the report.
The president is responding to criticism from lawmakers and Americans who have received cancellation notices since the law came on line last month.
Administration officials have said policies have been canceled because they do not comply with new requirements prescribed by Obamacare.

Let's start with when you were a young kid. What is that made you want to become a fast bowler?
To be honest, I had no intention of wanting to become a fast bowler. I started playing cricket in my first and second year of my secondary school, and I basically was an opening batsman. I was the captain of the school's U-14 team as well. We had a very important game against Fatima College for which Brian Lara was playing. One of my opening bowlers couldn't make it to the game, we knew from the week before that he couldn't play. So, I decided that I would fill in for him. I practiced bowling off-spin, it didn't turn. I tried another ball, it didn't turn. I gradually started pushing my run up back and back and further back until I started bowling medium pace. This is how I totally by accident became a fast bowler. It was as a batsman that I really started off at school.
I also read that when you were first selected for West Indies, as a young fast bowling tear-away, you weren't too much into intimidating the batsmen. But then, soon enough, we saw the kind of treatment that was dealt to Robin Smith in Antigua in 1990. So, how was the transformation in you as a fast bowler, how did the mentality come about?
Bowlers of our generation, we allowed the ball to do the talking. It is a different time now, guys say a lot now. Coming through, I suppose, being a tender-hearted person, I thought fast bowling was just about getting wickets. I wasn't trying to hit anyone, and that was not the case. But then, I got into higher levels of cricket and you realize that shorter balls could be used as a weapon, even if you want to call it intimidation. It was just a gradual process of getting into first class cricket, which was very difficult, and I had to find other avenues and methods of trying to create or mess up a batsman's footwork and short ball is one of those thing that will cause indecisiveness. It wasn't the case that any of us went out there to maim or hit someone. It is a part of the game for the batsmen.
What are the most important mental attributes that a fast bowler needs to have compared to other types of bowlers- An out-and-out fast bowler as opposed to a swing bowler or a spinner?
That is a good question. There are principles that run across the board. You have to be mentally tough, because fast bowling is very demanding work, particularly in modern Caribbean times when the pitches aren't as fast as they used to be, and you have to tour the sub-continent, and New Zealand. When you get to England and Australia, you enjoy your work a little bit more. But, by and large, you have to be mentally tough. You have to like hard work. You have to have a lot of self-belief as well. I don't know of any successful fast bowler who doesn't believe in himself completely, bordering on arrogance. It is about intimidation as well. You have to make the batsman know that as a fast bowler, not a medium pacer not a swing bowler, there is a physical hurt coming your way if you are not up to the mark technically. All of these things - the mental toughness, the confidence, and the fact that you will be leading the attack as an intimidator are part and parcel of a fast bowler.
What are your thoughts on the modern coaching philosophy, where everything is controlled? The amount of bowling in the nets and pre-game preparation. How was it in your times, and how does it compare to the modern coaching philosophies?
Times change, and I am not a big critic of the scientific ways of doing things. I do believe that a balance needs to be struck. When we were coming through, I just spoke to a colleague who played with me who played in the 60s and 70s as a wicket keeper. When he was batting in the nets as a wicket keeper, he never really got a lot of knocks on the tour. By the time the opening batsmen, numbers 3, 4, 5 and 6 were out, everyone was too tired to bowl to him, and he didn't get much batting practice. When we were coming through, we had to work very hard before the match, and that was tiring. Because we didn't have many practice bowlers mostly, and we had to do most of these things ourselves. I thought that was counter-productive.
I like it now, where they would go hard 2 or 3 days before the match. The day before the match, they will ease off. What I don't agree with what is happening now, is that you have to bowl a fair amount of deliveries in the nets to groove your action, to understand your body and rhythm without overdoing it. It is about finding that balance between bowling enough and not overdoing it. I sympathize with the modern coaching with so much cricket being played, that in order to preserve the pace of your fast bowler throughout the career you have to limit. You can't limit it in matches as much as you want to, so you have to get back to the practice sessions. It is a little bit of a conflict, but I do like my quicks to bowl enough deliveries at practice, because that is where you will get your body going in shape for the match.
I want to touch upon West Indies', especially Trinidad's, fast bowlers. First, a couple of listeners wanted to know - there are Kemar Roach, Rampaul, Shannon Gabriel, Tino Best coming through. But, we haven't seen someone that is cut above the rest. Perhaps Kemar Roach will end up as one of those. We don't know. If you can put a finger on it- there is talent, but there is no outstanding talent coming through from West Indies.
Roach is a shining light at the moment. You can never stamp greatness on any 22 or a 23 year old, and you can judge from my career that it will be the right thing to not do so. You identify talent- Roach and a couple of other guys have that. It really is, Subash, about how they will develop over the course of the next 4 or 5 years. That will determine whether they will go on to become great bowlers.
Roach has an abundance of talent. Rampaul, I don't think has the prerequisites to be a great bowler. He has the head and talent to be a very good bowler but you were talking great. It comes down to who has the package, which of these guys coming through moves the ball off the seam and in the air because none of them are very tall, and which of them can do it at pace. And none of these guys now apart from Roach, who comes from Barbados, we can pin point and say "they can do this, at pace".
These guys don't roll off the conveyor belt, we have to keep searching. We don't have enough guys bowling quick. That's the problem in the Caribbean. The pitches are so slow that I think they are discouraging guys from bowling quickly for any sustained period of time. Until we get the pitches back to the way they should be, until we start encouraging potential fast bowlers - I think the West Indies board are trying to do that in the u-19 level by trying to stipulate that each team must play a couple, then we will continue the struggle. But, there are a couple of guys. Roach, and maybe Gabriel will have to learn some things now. He is tall, has pace, we will have to see how he develops, and also a good brain.
You had said Sir Viv was one of the hardest batsmen to bowl to, and from the current lot of the batsmen, Tendulkar was the hardest to bowl to. What in your opinion, was it that made those two batsmen so difficult to bowl to?
Sir Vivian? I only played against Vivian maybe two or three times in my career- twice in county cricket when I was playing for Derbyshire, and once in the West Indies. I didn't play against him a lot but just one or two occasions when I was playing him in the back end of his career in county cricket he struck the ball off me so fearlessly and powerfully that it confirmed to me everything that I saw him doing from close quarters while I played with him for the WI. It is OK to watch him leave our dressing room and takes a liking to Graham Dilley or Paul Jarvis or Merv Hughes or someone like that. But having run into him at the back end of his career and feeling the weight of his bat for a very short period confirmed all of that to me.
I did not play against Lara at all. People always ask me how I can say Tendulkar is great - it means that he is better than Lara. The point is that I have never bowled to Lara. I am talking about guys I've played against.
We understand that you didn't get to bowl at Lara. The question was about the players you had bowled to...
I was asked that question before, and I got the feedback from people who asked "How can you say that Tendulkar is the hardest batsman you have bowled against? Are you saying that he is better than Lara?" And they didn't understand that the question posed to me was who is the best I have bowled against. I have never played against Brian Lara outside of school cricket.
Sachin, to me, was the best I have bowled against simply because he did not allow me as a bowler to settle down over a sequence of deliveries against him. From the moment I was marginally off line, he would look to capitalize and pounce on it and a lot of the times, he will put it away for 4. In fact, he was so good that sometimes, I felt that I had bowled some good deliveries to him, and he would still be able to pick them over the infield or maybe for a few runs. He was, in his prime, the most difficult batsman to bowl to in my view - others may not agree, but for my style [of bowling] that he never allowed me to settle.
Sachin was the best I bowled against: Ian Bishop
