Some of the questions we are asked the most
How do I know what paperweight to use?
Our extensive print knowledge means we can help advise on the best paper and weight for your project. You will have the final decision but we will be on hand to guide you. We have samples to help you decide.
Why does my logo look a different colour on my tablet and mobile?
Screens are viewed in RGB (red, green, blue) and printed materials are processed in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black). Screens will have different calibrations. Wherever you can, check a digital PDF proof and ask your printer to supply a proof.
Can the logo and images on my website be used for a printed product?
Your logo and images on your website will only be 72 dpi. For printing purposes, logos and images need to be 300 dpi to ensure they are clear.
Do you create and develop websites?
We can design a website for you. We work with a website designer who can create and develop your website.
Do you provide a printing service?
We do not print in-house, but we have several reliable printers that we use depending on the type of project. Before we proceed we will get 3 quotes and go with the best one for you.
What format will I get my logo?
When we design a logo, we create it as an EPS (Encapsulated Postscript). This means that you can scale your logo large or small and it won't lose any resolution. Please note you will only be able to open this file if you have the design software. We will also supply your logo as JPEG and PNG files which you can use for social media. You also get a brand guideline sheet for future reference.
How long will it take?
Turnaround times will vary depending on the complexity of the design. We will endeavour to deliver your requirements, on time and within your budget.
How will I receive my design project once it is finished?
We will provide a hi-res PDF. We will keep a copy of your project on file for future updates.
I don't know where to start. Can you help me?
I need something designed yesterday! Can you help me?
We can usually accommodate your rush job, however, this is dependent on our workload. We will do our best to fit it in within our schedule.
What do you charge for your design services?
Our prices depend on many variants and we will provide a quote for each individual project.
When do I pay?
We ask for a 50% deposit upfront prior to the first proof. The remaining balance is to be paid upon completion. We will issue final files once full payment has been received.
What is my involvement in the design process?
We will discuss the project with you from the beginning to establish a design brief. We encourage you to provide any samples and ideas you may have to give us as much information for us to start your designs.
What kind of graphic design services do you provide?
We design logos, brochures, flyers, leaflets, posters, adverts, roller banners, external banners, website banners, exhibition stands, business stationery and so much more! Check out our portfolio to see some of our work.
What types of payment do you accept?
We accept cheques or payment via BACS.
Who owns the copyright for work dotty hippo design has created for me?
Copyright is yours upon receipt of final payment. We do, however, reserve the right to use any work for promotional purposes.

I already posted my usual year recap post, but since 2016 wasn't exactly a standard year – on both a personal and global level – I've decided to write one more reflection.
For me 2016 was a year of a few pretty massive changes, some exciting developments, a few things that fill me with pride, and a few straight up embarrassments. I don't know, but I feel like I'm definitely ending the year as a bit of a different person than who I started it as. I think it's a good thing, though on some levels it all just feels a bit bizarre.
And if this seems to similar to my last 2016 reflection post, just skip to the end for the exciting bit!
Living in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere
At 1,000 meters high with about as many residents, four hours from an airport, and on the edge of Europe's greatest mountain plateau, this is an incredibly random place for me to have made a home.
Except the cool thing is, it's really not random at all. Rauland is where my grandparents first met (though they soon moved away from here) and several of my mother's cousins live here. It's the first time in my life I've lived near extended family, and there's something truly lovely about it.
Working at a supermarket
Again, this one is really random and definitely never featured on any of those life plans I've drafted over the years.
Living without an indoor toilet
Travel is forever showing me how adaptable we humans are – like how every time I leave on a big backpacking trip the idea of spending several months sleeping in dorms and surfing random couches seems exhausting, but in reality it never is. Constantly being on the move becomes totally normal to me.
And the same thing has happened with the outhouse.
Skipping summer
Okay, I did it in 2016, but I don't want to make a habit of this. I've never been much of a summer person, but a year without any summery weather was just a bit depressing.
Wishing I were Scottish
I've always been obsessed with all things Norwegian, so it was a bit of a surprise when I found myself intensely wishing I was from a different country – Scotland!
Traveling with my parents again
My travel bug comes 100% from my parents, but it had been years and years since we had traveled together. I loved changing that this year!
Connecting with distant relatives
I will definitely remember 2016 as the year I started getting to know my Norwegian family better. I love living near my mother's cousins, and am now constantly asking them questions about my grandfather.
Squeezing a whole lot of travel in around my work schedule
While I did travel a ton while working full-time in Japan, it was nice to be reminded again that you don't have to be a permanent nomad to get a lot of travel in!
Enjoying Norwegian TV
Okay, Norwegian television is the most bizarre thing ever, so it's a little shocking to find myself enjoying it more and more. What's happening to me?
Breathing in when I say yes
Again, what is happening to me?? 17 more habits to go and I'll be a real Norwegian!
Washing my clothes by hand
You know how I said earlier that people can quite easily adapt to most living conditions? Never mind that – hand washing my clothes is always going to be a chore I loathe.
Though come to think of it, I've never been a big fan of doing laundry.
I think all my friends LOLed at this one, because vlogging is just so not me. I did Vlogmas because it seemed like it would be a good crash course in video making, but guys, I actually really enjoyed it! I think I'll still vlog every once and a while – especially on my travels.
Dreaming fairly consistently in Norwegian
I feel like my Norwegian is still quite awful, but now about half of my dreams are in Norwegian, so maybe that counts for something? I think it really just depends if I've been speaking English or Norwegian right before bed.
Having lucid dreams
Okay this is totally random, but speaking of dreams, I've started having lucid ones. And once it happened I started having them quite often, which has been so weird, and trippy, and fascinating.
Making enough money blogging to live in Norway
Blogging has always been a hobby for me and in fact in the past I've been quite vocal about not wanting to become a professional blogger. So it felt like some sort of weird and maybe even terrible accident when my paychecks from blogging work started rivaling those from my "real job."
In so many ways it was something I had never wanted, but then on the other hand, I put so much time and energy into this blog, so wouldn't it actually make the ideal career?
It would.
Well, except for that final thing that I started doing in 2016:
Loving working at a supermarket
You know how at the top of the list I mentioned starting to work at a supermarket? That was supposed to be one of the lol totally random and silly things I started doing this year. Like, when I started it was purely a means to more quickly learn Norwegian and earn an easy income while setting up my life in Norway. I mean, I didn't spend four years at university so that I could end up at a supermarket.
Seriously, that's a thought that went through my head earlier this year. Ugh, cringe.
But once the snob in me got over herself I realized that this was in fact my favorite job I've ever had. Way better than those years as a private tutor, philosophy TA, high school teacher, NGO research assistant, and whatever else I used to do largely because it sounded cool or impressive.
I love working in the center of our small town, where I get to chat with locals all day. The people I work with have become some of my favorite people in the world, and I have the kindest and most laid back bosses a girl could wish for.
And this all meant that in autumn 2016 I found myself in an odd position: torn between the possibility of turning my favorite hobby into a career and an unexpected desire to continue at a job that I had never intended to care about.
When I was in Andorra with my mother I kept going through the pros and cons of each, and she couldn't seem to see a solution either. Working part-time at a shop was the perfect balance to blogging, as it took financial pressure off of my beloved hobby and was a nice social balance to the sometimes lonely nature of blogging, but then I was also constantly having to say no to fun opportunities because of my day job that, let's be honest, wasn't really going anywhere.
And then GoPro invited me to Mallorca for the launch of their new camera and I was really sad to turn down the trip and my mom was like… "it sounds like you're missing out on some things you really want to do."
So… in 2017 I will start:
Blogging full time
At least I'm going to try it out and see whether or not it's something I want to do.
I'm still going to work as extra help at the supermarket, but mostly come January I'll just be hanging out over here.
It's totally weird that I've been so hesitant to make this step, as the supermarket has already said they'll happily take me back in the future if I want, but I think part of me is secretly scared that I'm going to irreversibly ruin my blog by making it my job.
So guys, don't let me do that, okay?
I really don't want to mess this up because I love blogging more than anything in life – well, besides my family and my friends and Dan and mountains and chocolate and airports and Tajikistan and a few other things – but blogging is way up there!
One of the great things about having a well paying part-time job outside of blogging is that it has made it very easy to say no to any paid projects that I didn't think were a perfect fit. And I do think that will continue to be the case, since if I ever am tempted to compromise I can always instead pick up some extra shifts at the supermarket.
Ugh, so many feels!
Sorry for that, but now you're all up to date on what's going on with me!
Now I would love to hear your plans and goals for 2017 xx

This condition is a fracture, or break, of one or more of the metacarpal bones of the hand.
The fracture may be nondisplaced, in which the bones remain aligned, or displaced, in which the fractured ends shift out of alignment.
Without proper treatment, the bones may not heal correctly.
This can result in improper alignment of the fingers, leading to poor hand function.
If you've fractured a finger, you've broken one or more of the finger bones we call "phalanges."
Each individual bone is called a "phalanx." You've got three in each finger, and two in each thumb.
They are supported by a network of soft tissues that can also be damaged during a fracture.
This procedure uses pins, screws or metal plates to repair broken bones in the fingers.
The actual fixation method will depend on the location and pattern of the break.

I love Mediterranean food. It's so healthy and delicious. So I was intrigued by two cookbooks that came out this past year on Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine, primarily Israeli, Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi and Balaboosta by Einat Admony.
Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi
Jerusalem is a great cookbook with traditional as well as contemporary dishes from the varied cultures that make up the title city. The authors, who are Israeli and Palestinian, respectively, while sensitive to the tensions in the area, choose to focus on the food–the richness that all those cultures bring to the cuisine. As many writers and chefs would agree, food is a binding agent; however, it can also separate people when cultures disagree on who created a popular dish. Rather than debate issues, Jerusalem celebrates the cuisine. The authors note that there are some food elements that are crosscultural in the area, such as chopped salad, stuffed vegetables with rice, rice and meat, meat and pickled vegetables, olive oil, lemon juice, olives and baked cheese pastries. But they mention that the cuisines of the area are very diverse and different, and their focus in the book is on foods that they grew up with and what they like to cook themselves.
The book has some history on the area and explains in more detail some aspects of cooking like what za'atar is and how it is used. There are recipes for more familiar dishes like fattoush, hummus, tabbouleh and falafel. Some recipes that sound amazing to me are sabih, an eggplant dish brought by Iraqi Jews. The minty kohlrabi salad with Greek yogurt and sumac sounds wonderful. Pureed beets with yogurt and za'atar would be a great dip for some pita bread! There's a recipe for shakshuka, the poached eggs in tomato sauce dish that reminds me of a similar dish my Italian grandma made. I'm intrigued by the pasta cooked in hot yogurt sauce, as in the conchiglie with yogurt, peas and chile. This book is great for vegetarians as well, as there are so many meat-free dishes.
Balaboosta by Einat Admony
Balaboosta by Einat Admony, on the other hand, isn't just about food but more about a way of life. A balaboosta is a Yiddish word for a housewife, but not just any housewife. According to Admony, a balaboosta "made sure her table was crowded not just with food but also with laughter." She was the nurturing woman who cooked, cleaned and cared for her family. Admony is a wife, mother and professional chef with successful restaurants Balaboosta, Taim and Bar Bolonat. Not only is she all of these things, she is one cool lady and as Wendy Williams would say, a friend in my head! Her favorite comfort food is a jelly doughnut. Hello! We would so be BFF.
Her book is divided into chapters that cover all the things a balaboosta needs to know. There are dinner party dishes, recipes for kids, quick meals, romantic foods, comforting dishes, outdoor party recipes and healthier options. She is too funny when she talks about trying to lose weight. She says she took pills, did the cabbage soup diet, the master cleanse, boxing and something called Zerona that she said was like "being fondled by an octopus that shoots fat-melting lasers into your flab." Ultimately, she says that she doesn't want to give up her love of cooking and eating. Yay! Enjoying life is part of being a balaboosta. Sign me up!
There are so many wonderful recipes in this book. While Admony's parents are from Yemen and Iran, she focuses on all Middle Eastern/Mediterranean cuisine. She has her version of shakshuka, which I've had at her restaurant Balaboosta. There's a cauliflower dish called "cauliflower everyone loves" that looks like a delectable crispy fried cauliflower. I have a sweet tooth, so I love her homemade kit kat made with Nutella and corn flakes. OMG. The coconutty milk chocolate popcorn may be in the kids' section but it's for kids of all ages! I like the ricotta, pine nut and honey bread pudding with some Italian elements in there. She includes one of her mom's recipes, rice stew. She says that it represents the changing relationship she and her mother have had. She substitutes chicken neck in her mom's version with chicken wings. Funny–my mom loves chicken neck too. The Palestinian Arab dish, sinaya, with layered tahini and ground meat, looks and sounds amazing. I love, love, love labne and the fried olives with labne look delish.

another by patsy monk in polymer clay
Here are some ATC's that members brought to share:
Judy Merick made this lovely doll to display some of her favorite ATC's by tweaking a pattern by elinor peace bailey. I find her use of the doll as a display medium quite brilliant and proposed a challenge to guild members to create their own unique ways to display ATC's.
October's suggested theme is Leaves
If you received a card that looks fuzzy in the photos here you can bring them to the next meeting and I will be happy to try it again- the lighting isn't the best at the fire house and I was in a hurry- I appreciate your patience as I learn to photograph things under those conditions- overhead lights -shadows, shaky hands! etc.
Thank you to everyone who participated! Please make sure that you sign and date your cards on the back if possible.

5 Hidden Aussie Beaches To Explore This Summer That You Never Knew About
Sick of hunting for the prime spot at Bondi or Manly? Slip, slop, slap and slide down the coast, you won't have to fight with tourists over sand or sun at these coastal gem locations.
Bilgola Beach
This one is tricky to get to, but it's worth the effort. Tucked away behind thick bush at the bottom of Bilgola Heights, the beach is secluded in comparison to surrounding big-name shores like Newport, Avalon and Dee Why. While hidden from obnoxious beachgoers and tourists, locals enjoy the seclusion and a small SLSC patrol the sands. If you're a keen swimmer or want to show off your diving skills, bring some goggles and swim the rock pool (pictured).
Little Congwong Beach
You may have heard of Congwong Beach, well this is its little sister. Surrounded by a mountain of green hills you wouldn't believe that this secluded cove was just half an hour south-east of the CBD in La Perouse. The unpatrolled sands and calm waters welcome nudists and is perfect for sunbathers who prefer a peaceful dip.
Parsley Bay
Encompassing a jetty, a bridge, sandy beach, grass and rocks, any type of beachgoer is welcome at Parsley Bay in Vaucluse. Jumping off the bridge has become a time honoured tradition but only risk it at high tide and wade in off the jetty when it's shallow. The perfect summer destination for the adventurous and surrounded by bush with lots of nooks and crannies to explore. The bay is hidden from the main road and mostly inhabited by locals.
Lady Bay Beach
With frequented shores on either side, South Head and Camp Cove, do not forget about Lady Bay Beach! Just a tiny strip of sand but it has a million dollar view of Waston's Bay and Sydney Harbour. However this beach is not for the shy at heart (I found this out the awkward way). If you're keen to strip down to cover up any uneven tan lines, you'll be in good company as there is a designated section for nude bathers. #donotmakeeyecontact
Whale Beach
The largest stretch of sand on our list, it is often overlooked as you feel like you're almost travelling out of Sydney, but it's a valuable beach day sojourn. Picnic on the sands or dine at the famous Jonah's and you can even stay overnight if you want to make a weekend of it. Surfers this one is for you! At the northern end of Whale beach is the legendary "Wedge" surf break. Don't forget to bring your flippers and snorkels as well to explore under water closer to shore.

The main actors and their characters they played are: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Tom
Hulce Antonio Salieri – Murray Abraham Mozart's dad – Roy Dotrice Mozart's wife – Elizabeth
Berridde Emperor Joseph II – Jeffery Jones Milos Forman – Director The movie " Amadeus" was
based on two composers, Mozart and Salieri. In the begging of the movie Salieri tries to commit
suicide. A priest comes to see Salieri to ask him if he has anything to confess. Salieri then begins
to unravel the story of Mozart and Salieri's life together.
Mozart has been a great composer since he was four years old. Salieri on the other hand
not as good and would never be as good as Mozart. In the movie you can see how jealous Salieri
is of Mozart. Salieri's father was against him playing music, and on the other end Mozart's
father praised it and insisted on it. Salieri wanted to play music more than anything in the world.
One day while in church, Salieri asks God to let him be a great composer and in return he would
give him his chastity and write for God. The next day Salieri's father died and this was a miracle
in Salieri's eyes. His family had to go to Vienna where Salieri then became discovered. Salieri
worked his way up to the courts and was the Emperor's composer. Mozart was to perform for the
Emperor, when Salieri got news of this he grew anxious to meet the great composer. He wanted
to see what this marvelous composer looked like with all the talent he possessed.
The story then goes on about Mozart composing operas and pieces for the Emperor.
and more Salieri was growing to hate Mozart, because he was not as good and realized he would
never be. In the middle of the movie Mozart finds out that his father has died. This slowly kills
Mozart, he can't write, he drinks more and more, and his relationship with his wife is suffe…

Walkabout, a South Park tradition
Four times a year, our neighborhood throws a party. Much of San Diego is familiar with Walkabout, an evening where local businesses open up their doors late into the evening, and the neighborhood comes out to enjoy music, food and getting to know their neighbors. The winter's Walkabout, themed "Lumnaria," will be on December 7th from 6-10pm. Hope to see you there!
Make Good featured on travel show
At first we weren't sure what to make of the phone call. A man identifying himself as a producer of one of the most popular travel shows in Japan, called to say he'd like to feature Make Good in one of their upcoming episodes. A few weeks later, a location visit and some advanced planning, and the film crew showed up to not only interview Sophia at Make Good, but they spent time in South Park, filming other stores and locations around the neighborhood. The show's primary audience is the well-travelled Japanese citizen. Rather than guiding them to typical tourists destinations though, the show features out of the way places, locations that tourists often miss but that give a city it's true character. We're flattered, and can't wait for the episode to air! Once it does, and if you speak Japanese, we might need some interpretation.
Make Good, Cash Mobbed
In December 2011, Make Good was "Cash Mobbed," the first such occurrence in San Diego. Local television and radio was there to cover the story, which resulted in the biggest Tuesday night of sale we'd ever experienced. Thanks Cash Mob for the honor!

|Game Series
|Fire Emblem series
|First Appearance
|Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
|King Daein
Ashnard is the main antagonist in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (for Nintendo Gamecube), and the king of Daein. Ashnard is unique amongst the villains within the game in that he is racially equalitarian, however, he is devoted to his elitist ideologies and he believes the strong must rule over the weak, evident in the treatment of his units, and the formation of the Four Riders—who are the greatest four Daein warriors (in which they are ranked according to ability.) His attitude towards life remains constant throughout, even until his death. Ashnard remains relatively unperturbed in the events preceding his demise, despite the warnings of his subordinates.In the game, he is commonly referred to as "King Daein" and "Mad King Ashnard". He wields a powerful sword that only he is capable of using named Gurgurant, and has sacred armor that is blessed by the goddess of the Fire Emblem world which was given to him by the Black Knight
Character and history[edit | edit source]
From birth, the possibility of Ashnard legitimately inheriting the Daein throne was minimal due to his position well towards the end of the line of succession. The commonly held belief amongst the people of Tellius was that all of the potential successors ahead of him died when a devastating illness fell upon the royal family. However, before the final chapter of Path of Radiance, Ashnard confesses to General Bryce; his longest serving unit, that he had slaughtered all legitimate heirs to the Daein throne to inherit kingship by force. Through his reign, Daein has become a militarily powerful and restless nation. He is considerably ruthless and cunning, and is widely reputed for being an excellent warrior who values strength above all else. Tales of single-handed slaughter are often reverberated across Tellius; which only enhance his notoriety and perhaps accentuates the fear of him. Under his rule, those with considerable strength were given prominent positions in Daein society, giving even citizens of low social stature hope through the chance to rise in power by proving their might to him.
Role in Path of Radiance[edit | edit source]
In the beginning of the game, Ashnard wages war upon Crimea; another beorc (human) nation, and subsequently captures the land and slaughters Lord Crimea. Crimea is then placed under Daein rule. Ashnard's main goal is to embroil the whole of Tellius in to war, battle, and ultimately, chaos.
To achieve this, he has gained control over the Goldoan (dragon), Nasir, via the capture of his grand daughter, Ena, whom Ashnard has employed as a general, despite her Goldoan heritage. However, he later orders her death as a consequence of her military failures. He wishes to use Nasir as a double Gallian-Crimean decoy to discover the whereabouts of Lehran's medallion, and to pilfer it for him. Ashnard wishes to conjure an ancient spirit within the medallion that had been sealed a long time ago. Furthermore, he co-ordinates the capture of the two Herons; Leanne and Reyson, to achieve his aim of the renewal of the legendary spirit. Apparently, he had once before acquired the medallion and Reyson's older sister, Lillia, shortly after the Serenes Massacre, but Lillia became too weak and died, it is implied that this was a result of poor treatment from Ashnard. It is speculated by the protagonists that the assassination of the Begnion apostle, the framing of the Herons and the resultant massacre was all part of a complex plan just to acquire the medallion.
Ashnard is fortunate in being gifted with the command of the enigmatic Black Knight, a powerful general who can utilise his arcane powers to teleport at will. Although Ashnard commands the Black Knight, he remarks to Petrine how he would like to test his strength against the Black Knight one day. The Black Knight eventually captures Leanne despite the protection and vigil of Tibarn (the hawk king) and the hawks. However, his plans are marred when Ike's mercenaries (and allies) perform an invasion on Daein which spans most of the chapters throughout the game. Eventually, after the consecutive defeat of the Four Riders (or three, at the exclusion of Bryce, depending upon the player) Ashnard is eventually defeated by Ike's group with the help of either Giffca, Tibarn or Naesala. It is later revealed that Ashnard's supposed stead, Rajaion, was actually a Goldoan dragon who had once been engaged to Ena. Ashnard fulfills the archenemy archetype in attempting to summon an incredible being, similar to Lyon and Nergal, from previous Fire Emblem installments.
In the "Difficult" setting of Path of Radiance, Ashnard will grasp Lehran's medallion when defeated at the end of the game. Unlike most people who touch it, Ashnard does not go berserk, but instead retains his sanity while significantly growing in power. Even so, the game's final chapter ends when he is killed, with the help of either Giffca, Tibarn or Naesala.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Ashnard wields the sword Gurgurant. The name Gurgurant is a reference to Arthurian mythology. Gurgurant was a cannibal whose son was slain by a giant who in turn came to be slain by Sir Gawain. Gurgurant and his followers then ate the son's corpse.

What does homeschooling mean to you? I'm not talking about method or curriculum. I'm talking about the deeper meaning, the reason you get out of bed in the morning and instead of packing the kids off to a traditional school, gather them around the table for breakfast.

I love my morning scone from the local bakery on campus. This may sound a bit crazy, but it is truly a simple joy that makes my life infinitely better. However, some other staff would tell you I need my morning cup of coffee – as in, I am not human without it. I could live without the scone, but probably not the necessary coffee jolt only a young mom and professional could appreciate. This may sound like a very basic comparison, but in today's world many of us are forced to choose between our loves and our needs. When it comes to our professional lives these choices can affect our future in ways we could never have imagined.
I have to ask: what amount of need is worth giving up your true passion?
As a Career Services professional, I see these choices on a daily basis. A young student offered a glitzy job with an equally glamorous salary is also offered a lower paying job without all of the razzle dazzle, but with an amazing company and an opportunity for growth.
How is a new graduate with potential student loans and a desperate need for independence supposed to choose?
One could always make a simple Pro/Con list, but those seem to fall short of the long term ramifications of a professional life.
We each have a price tag; whether we like to admit it or not, a cost which is required for us to live. No one is wrong for knowing that price. In fact, I encourage my students to know the price of their lives before even embarking on the career journey, because if your needs are not met, can you truly achieve your passions?
- Make a list of personal priorities in order of importance in your general life. This list consists of familial, housing, and basic living needs typically (and coffee for some of us).
- Put a price tag on those needs. This sounds terrible, but each need costs us something, and it is important to know what priorities cost you.
- Once you have your needs budget, you can look at your passion income comparison in an unbiased light.
- Finally, look at the long-term cost of your choices. I call this the opportunity cost. Many high-paying jobs right out of college have high turn-over and low accumulation of on-the-job experience. Where as slower growing jobs at a lower salary or in a smaller company may offer a variety of opportunities for growth and knowledge accumulation.
Now you can weigh your passions, your needs, and your future in a way that truly guides you on a path that is right for you.
The important thing is to remain honest with yourself about what your true needs are. Some people can exist happily in a studio apartment while they cut their teeth in a new career, but some people truly need to maintain a more expensive lifestyle. It is never my job to judge, just to make sure that students make the right decisions for themselves.
I encourage everyone to weigh their needs, passions, and future aspirations through out their careers, as we are all ever-evolving individuals. The path you choose can always change, but in the end I hope that we all find a place where we can have our scones and our coffee too!

I'm watching the live webcast by 9News of the police assault on the peaceful demonstrators at Occupy Denver right now.
After three years, it appears Mayor/Governor Hickenlooper has learned nothing about free speech and I'd like to get him a message.
"Three years after Tent State, Mr. Hickenlooper continues to maintain his disdain of any free speech that challenges the status quo.

If you have known me for even a little while, you probably know I love cows. LOVE them. Who doesn't? Cows are AWESOME. The provide the makings for yummy things such as ice cream, cheese, chocolate milk, and much more. Did I mention ICE CREAM? Cows come in all shapes from cute little calves running and bouncing around the pasture to huge angus, and Brahmas. And the colors! Black, white, brown, green and yellow 🙂 Colorful cows abound!
This week was an equivalent of Mr. Toad's wild ride for me. I came down with a nasty cold out of no where at the end of last week, and by midweek my voice was nearly completely gone. Of course Friday I had a booth at a big networking meeting and was worried I wouldn't be able to speak! That would have been an interesting challenge. Thankfully between cups and cups of tea, cough drops and oranges I was able to talk on Friday, and the meeting was excellent. I will admit I was exhausted at the end though. I slept like a log last night.
Today I woke up. Had breakfast. Did a few things around the house. Sat down. Slept for 2 hours. It felt good. I felt I needed something cheery and bright to kick start my brain. There's nothing more cheery than a cow!!
MOO!!! Enjoy the rest of the weekend – and have a great, cold-free week!

Causes of Forest Fragmentation in the United States (270 Meter Resolution), 1992
- Author(s):
- Wade, Tim
- Description:
- This raster image is a 270-meter resolution grid map of the conterminous United States in GeoTIFF format, created from National Land Cover Data (NLCD). The NLCD data was reclassified into four categories: forest, other natural (e.g. grassland, wetland, etc.), human land use (e.g. agriculture, urban, etc.), and nodata (water, ice and snow, and bare rock/sand). A 9 x 9-pixel moving window was then used to generate forest edge measurements for every pixel, regardless of its class. Within each window, the edges of all forest pixels were examined to determine what type of land cover shared each edge. Three new grids were created, one for each edge type (forest-forest, forest-natural, and forest-human). The values in these grids were calculated as the number of edges with the appropriate type in the window divided by the total number of forest edges, regardless of neighbor. These grids represented forest connectivity (forest-forest edges), naturally caused forest fragmentation (forest-natural edges), and human caused forest fragmentation (forest- human edges). In the map, forest connectivity is displayed in green, natural fragmentation in blue, and human fragmentation in red. Yellow indicates areas that are an approximately equal mix of connected forest and human fragmentation, while cyan indicates areas that are an approximately equal mix of connected forest and natural fragmentation. Black represents areas with no forest in the 9 x 9-pixel window; white represents ignored or nodata areas, such as water, ice and snow, and bare rock/sand. Forest fragmentation has been studied extensively and can be quantified in several ways. This map layer is the first to identify sources of forest fragmentation, separating fragmentation into human and natural components. The data may be a useful tool for decision makers in identifying areas for protection or restoration. Areas displayed in yellow represent transition zones between connected forest and human-fragmented forest. Because human land uses tend to expand over time, these areas will be the most likely to experience further degradation. In time, the transition zones may become highly fragmented and new transitional areas will appear deeper in the intact forest. Consequently, the yellow areas in the map may represent excellent opportunities for protection or restoration. Protecting transitional and adjacent areas may limit further expansion or degradation of the transitional areas. Restoration efforts to eliminate or reduce fragmentation may produce larger patches of connected forest.

Here are some fundraising event tips on raising more money when you do an event. The two keys are attracting a big crowd and providing multiple ways for them to support your group.
Fundraising Event Tips: Draw A Big Crowd
Getting publicity
Media coverage is essential to drawing a big crowd. Step one is putting together a press release describing your event with a newsworthy angle. Newspapers, radio and television stations are all looking for stories of interest to their readers, listeners, or viewers.
Follow the standard who, what, when, where, why, and how press release format, but focus your summary paragraph on the most compelling storyline behind your event.
That storyline might be the good work your charity does for a specific cause because human interest stories are always popular. Or, it might be the local celebrities that are attending or the live entertainment that is scheduled because those people are newsworthy in themselves.
Other news angles might be the fun aspect of the event, an unusual theme or setting, a grand prize drawing from a raffle, or an auction item which is newsworthy in it's own right.
Press release tips
Step two in getting publicity involves distributing your press release and accompanying photographs, preferably pictures focused on the newsworthy aspect of your event, to the media contacts in your market.
It's not enough to just send out the press release. Make follow-up phone calls to important outlets such as television stations and major newspapers.
Have a purpose behind the call. Offer interviews with key figures from your organization or event. With a television station, offer a strategic camera angle for a standup reporter such as one with a grand prize item in the background. If you have a celebrity tie-in, work that into your offer.
The key is getting substantial publicity that creates a desire in viewers or readers to attend your event.
Fundraising Event Tips: How To Raise More Money
You also want to ensure that your event raises the maximum amount possible from your attendees and that means leaving no fundraising opportunity unused.
Price your event tickets high enough to maximize revenue without sacrificing participation. If attendance is capped at a certain number, make sure you sellout well ahead of time. If your event includes activities in which not everyone will participate, offer tiered pricing that charges more for full participation.
Include a large selection of items and services in silent auctions spread around the perimeter of your event. For your best items, have a live auction conducted by a professional auctioneer.
Since raffles are always a great moneymaker, use raffle ticket sales to allow people who won't be present a way to win some of the prizes and support your cause.
Having a cash bar is another way to boost results. You can also offer an exclusive wine tasting or even a premium whiskey tasting if it better fits your event profile.
Gourmet dinners catered by exclusive restaurants are also very attractive event enhancements. Many people will pay a premium for meals with a celebrity chef tie-in or other prestige factor.
You always want to get as much advance publicity as possible. Play up the most newsworthy story angle you have in your press release and follow up with all the important media outlets.
Put together a premium fundraising event by including multiple moneymakers centered on your particular event theme. Include auctions and raffles because they provide significant income and allow corporations and non-attendees multiple ways to help your cause.
And most importantly, do everything you can to make your fundraising event truly a night to remember.

Welcome back to the continuation of the Handmade Holiday Series featuring STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam. This week we are sharing a total of twenty five inspiring projects to create for the upcoming holiday season.
I'm excited to introduce our next guest,
Tonia from The Gunny Sack
Tonia's Half Dozen Christmas Eggs are packed with colors, textures, and a little sparkle to add to your holiday decor. Please welcome Tonia.
Hi, I'm Tonia from The Gunny Sack. Thank you for having me as a guest today, Stephanie Lynn! I was a huge fan of Under The Table & Dreaming even before I started blogging. So, I am so excited to be part of the Handmade Holidays series! I am going to show you how to make Half Dozen Christmas Eggs.
My favorite Half Dozen Christmas Eggs are the natural ones. To make these eggs, I found items from outdoors to cover the eggs.
- six 2 ¼ x 1 ⅞ inch hen eggs of STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam
- various dried seeds, leaves and petals
- craft paint
- paint brushes
- hot glue gun
- toothpicks
- 1/2 egg carton
- straw
First paint the egg a color that matches whatever you will be covering it with. Stick a toothpick in the bottom of the egg and then stick the toothpick into something else to hold the egg up while drying. I painted this egg tan. Allow the paint to dry before moving onto the next step. To cover the tan egg, I found this feathery stalk and pulled the wispy seeds off. Then, I covered small areas of the egg with hot glue and sprinkled the wispy seeds on top and gently pressed them into the glue.
For the brown egg, I followed the same steps but this time I painted the egg brown and covered it with dried leaves and seeds from this brown plant. When all of the eggs are covered, cut an egg carton in half and put straw in the bottom. Gently place the covered eggs of STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam in the carton. The eggs can be left in the carton for display or a loop can be added to each egg so it can be hung for display.
The next bunch of Half Dozen Christmas Eggs are these sparkle eggs. You can customize the colors depending on the decor you are trying to match. I love blue and silver at Christmas.
- six 2 ¼ x 1 ⅞ inch hen eggs of STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam
- glitter craft paint
- paint brushes
- toothpicks
- 1/2 egg carton
- tinsel
Insert a toothpick into each egg and paint them in various ways with the glitter craft paint. I did 2 plain, 2 polka dot and 2 striped eggs. Allow the first coat of paint to dry and then add another coat. Once dry, cover the bottom of half an egg carton with tinsel and place the sparkle eggs on top.
The third kind of Half Dozen Christmas Eggs I made are in the traditional red, green and white.
- six 2 ¼ x 1 ⅞ inch hen eggs of STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam
- red & green tissue paper
- snow paint
- paint brushes
- craft glue
- 1/2 egg carton
- artificial snow blanket
I covered 2 of the eggs with snow paint and put them aside to dry. Then, for the red and green eggs, I covered a small area of the egg with craft glue and put a piece of crumpled tissue paper in the glue. I put pieces of an artificial snow blanket in the bottom of half an egg carton and placed the covered eggs on the top.
These eggs were so fun to make and I can't wait to give them as Christmas gifts! I like that there are so many different ways they can be covered. I want to try covering them with Christmas fabric, ribbons or tiny beads too! Thanks again, Stephanie Lynn, for having me as a guest today and I hope to see you all at The Gunny Sack!

Buffett takes to the stump as Clinton looks to shore up Iowa
Billionaire Warren Buffett has long resisted calls to throw his massive wealth behind a campaign and even eschewed public rallies that would lend his vaunted reputation to a candidate.
There are signs that's changing. While Buffett, 85, has yet to make a major financial contribution, he's taking the rare step of appearing Wednesday at a public event with Hillary Clinton. That rally is scheduled to follow a fundraiser for the presidential candidate in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, the second event he's headlining for her this month.
See Warren Buffett through the years:
See Gallery
"He's always considered elections important," said Paul Landow, a political science professor at the University of Nebraska, Omaha, who has worked as a U.S. congressional aide, a state party leader and as chief of staff to the city's mayor. "But this year he really wants Hillary to win."
More from Bloomberg.com: Trump's Rise Enabled by Decades-Long Slide for the Middle Class
The appearances, though, still may be the best Clinton can hope for from Buffett, who is an outspoken critic of the unlimited spending in politics that was set in motion by the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision. Even so, the events in Nebraska, which doesn't hold its Democratic caucus until March, are designed for maximum impact: much of neighboring Iowa, which holds the first caucus in the nation February 1, tunes in to Omaha television.
"The Omaha media market is one third of Iowa," said former Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey, a Democrat who ran for the party's 1992 nomination against Bill Clinton. "If Warren were living in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, I don't think we'd be having this conversation."
More from Bloomberg.com: Trump Would Be 'Healthiest' President; Don't Ask for Details
The events this week in Omaha are the culmination of a long evolution for the billionaire. The son of a Republican U.S. congressman, Buffett started shifting his allegiance to Democrats decades ago. He has become more active as the Republican Party moved further to the right, according to a person familiar with his thinking who asked not to be identified to protect their relationship.
During the 2008 campaign, Buffett appeared as a featured guest at fundraisers for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, but declined to endorse either during the primaries and limited his contributions to the legal maximum that could be given directly to candidates. Even after Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom and stumped for re-election touting the "Buffett Rule" for middle class taxes, the chairman and chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. limited his commitment of time and cash.
More from Bloomberg.com: He May Not Be Winning But Trump's Support in Iowa Is Solid
Buffett, who didn't respond to a request for comment left with an assistant, has endorsed Clinton's candidacy since 2012, when he said in an interview with CNN that no one would be better qualified to run the country.
"She has a vision for America that's very similar to mine in terms of everybody being included in the prosperity we enjoy," he told Bloomberg earlier this year. "And I think that she would work very, very hard at getting policies implemented that would lead to that."
Yet as Clinton allies brag about his buy-in, some of the billionaire's longtime acquaintances are doubtful he'll have that great an impact.
Richard Holland, one of Buffett's early investors, has been leaning on his friend for years to give more money to Democrats -- with little success. Buffett has been more wrapped up in running his company than becoming a "big wheel" in politics, Holland said.
Hear Buffett's take on the Clinton email scandal:
"A lot of people admire Warren," he said. "I believe that he can influence voting, but I don't know how much."
Former Senator Kerrey said Buffett can be a great confidant to politicians, offering thoughtful advice that sometimes runs contrary to his own economic interests. But campaigns sometimes hype their association with him to attract attention.
"It certainly doesn't hurt" to have Buffett engaged, Kerrey said. "But it's not a game changer."
Buffett was the main draw at an event in New York last week, for which a dozen mostly Wall Street attendees committed $33,400 each to the Hillary Victory Fund, and will join Clinton on Wednesday morning in Omaha for what's being billed as a conversation between the two. Tickets start at $500 and go up to $2,700 for donors who want a photo with both. Those who raise $27,000 or more will have access to a reception with the candidate and billionaire.
At the rally afterward at Omaha's Sokol Auditorium, the duo will talk about their shared view of inequities in the tax code. Clinton has spent the past month highlighting her commitment to avoid tax increases on families earning less than $250,000 a year -- a stance she argues that neither one of her Democratic opponents will take.
See Clinton through the years:
See Gallery
While Clinton and Buffett see eye-to-eye on taxes for individuals, some of his business moves appear to have been at odds with her policy positions. Last week, she rolled out her plans aimed at stopping inversions and other maneuvers that cut corporate tax rates by shifting profits overseas. Berkshire invested $3 billion in Burger King's 2014 buyout of Canada's Tim Hortons. The move, which Buffett said wasn't about the tax advantage, drew criticism from lawmakers including U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Buffett may never be the Democrats' antidote to Republican mega-donors Charles and David Koch or Sheldon Adelson, but his political contributions have ratcheted up as he's become more engaged. In the 2012 election cycle, he gave almost $200,000 to campaigns and party committees, according to federal and state records. Two years later, he cut a $100,000 check to Democrat Chuck Hassebrook's unsuccessful bid for Nebraska governor. (The state doesn't have contribution limits.) That was followed by a $25,000 donation to a political action committee that helped lay the groundwork for Clinton's current run. He also contributed the $2,700 maximum to her primary campaign in April.
"I support her," he said on CNN that month. "I would not write a huge check. I would go out and raise money for her. I'd be delighted to do that. I would hope to do it. I did some of that in 2008. I just don't believe that the election should be decided by the super rich."

Based on Jeff Pearlman's logic, Feller obviously used steroids.
Based on Pearlmen's same reasoning, Did Feller use? Now granted, we do suspect steroids usage during that era, but that was also an era when certain things just didn't get reported. So we can't know for *sure* that illegal things were NOT used.
Wow, wait. It is awful hard to prove a negative.

Carol's Comet gets a new lifetime best of 1.49.4 in the Saturday Night feature at Scioto Downs Racino.
The track was lighting fast on the 5/8 oval on Saturday and with the perfect weather the combination was a perfect setting for great racing.
The five-year old gelding by Yankee Cruiser is trained by Ron Potter and owned by Whiskey Tango Stb, Marin Presser, Bill Moore and Matthew Moore.
Carol's Comet driven by Aaron Merriman received a perfect pocket trip off hot fractions of 26, 54 and 1.21.Merriman waited patiently for the super stretch after following co-second choice, Rockin Wizard. His patience definitely paid dividends when Carol's Comet cruised to a one length victory.Rockin Wizard, trained by Virgil Morgan Jr.was second and Royal Outlook closed late for the third spot.
Racing continues Monday, Memorial Day with a special post time of 1:00.The 15 race holiday card will feature Ohio Sire Stakes action for the 3-year pacing and trotting colts. They will slug it out for a share of the $40,000 purse.
Scioto will also have a Driver meet and greet prior to first race post time.We will also have our unique National Anthem presentation. This will feature the costumed, Starry Night Star and dressed reins man. It's an exciting presentation of the versatility in our Standardbred Breed.

Yes, you can rightfully argue that ignorance of the law is no excuse: as citizens we each have the responsibility to know what the rules are. But the main rules are just common sense: don't kill anyone who isn't trying to kill you, don't beat people up, don't steal, don't threaten them in a effort to get money out of them. Hmm – that last one sounds familiar. And what about stealing? Isn't file sharing stealing? No, actually it's a civil violation of copyright law – at worst.
With that in mind, here's a letter from an accused file sharer:
- I feel very strange that this whole thing is happening to me. I have only had high speed internet for about 4-5 months now. I am the type of person that doesn't watch the news, I hardly watch television, I can't stand all of the negativity and bias. I am a pediatric intensive care nurse and I deal with life and death situations every day and do not need to watch the stuff on tv for excitement.
I haven't really even been on my computer too often and haven't even burned my own cds. I work in a small area in my hospital and because of the severe nursing shortage I have been filling in on the night shift. I was picked because of the amount of songs that I have downloaded, but I alone haven't downloaded all of the songs.
I allow a lot of people access to my computer, my neighbors have a key to my house, their son uses my computer, I have had a few different roommates that don't have their own computers and I also allow my sister to use my computer. I feel like many of the other people sued. I was ignorant to the copyright laws and the usage of the p2p sites. I was just some person that wanted to listen to music on my computer, most of the songs I downloaded I already own on cd and I couldn't figure out how to listen to them from my computer.
I feel as though I am being harassed and made an example of and I am infuriated. I don't make a lot of money, I am single and I am overwhelmed at the enormity of the RIAA and what they could do to my life financially. I am so sad I wish that I could fight these people but I am going to have to settle out of court. I will have to charge or make payments on the settlement, right now they are saying no less that 3,000, but I am going to try and negotiate a lower settlement.
I am currently out of work on disability and have many other more important issues to deal with in life than some executives at the RIAA not receiving their mercedes or vacation bonus this year and suing me for it….You can be assured I will NEVER buy a RIAA cd again.
Does this strike you as reasonable? It's just one story from the naked city.

In the long run, coastal wetlands in New Jersey and elsewhere along the East Coast are in serious trouble as a result of sea-level rise, according to a study released today [1].
An estimated 81 percent of Garden State land within 3.3 feet of high water is developed or likely to be developed and provided shore protection, the study says. Development and structures such as bulkheads block coastal wetlands from moving inland as the water rises.
And that's not good news for fishermen and others who benefit from wetlands.
Wetlands [3]are critical to many commercial and recreational species of fish and help protect against flooding and erosion, among other benefits, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
"If environmental policies must eventually be revised to ensure that wetlands migrate inland, now is the best time for wetland regulators to update policies to recognize that sea level is rising," the study says.
"It is also a good time for all of us to ask whether this generation should continue to build new communities in vacant land vulnerable to a rising sea," the study says.
The study was published in Environmental Research Letters. A related Web site [4] has maps and other information on this issue.

Beyond Calligraphy - Main Site
Ink painting (墨絵, すみえ, sumi-e (lit. "ink painting); also 水墨画, すいぼくが, suibokuga – i.e. "water ink painting")
Ink painting is a traditional method of painting that originated in ancient China, and was developed during the Tang dynasty (唐朝, 607 – 918 C.E.). In China, ink painting is known as 水墨畫 or 水墨画 (Chinese: shuǐmò shū or shuǐmò huà). Ink painting is based on similar principles to calligraphy. The same tools are used, i.e.: brush, inkstone, ink and paper (so called 文房四宝, ぶんぼうしほう, bunbō shihō, "four treasures of the study"). Similar to calligraphy, the concept of ink painting is not to copy reality, but capture the energy and soul of the subject of a painting. In this capacity, ink painting is quite different from its traditional Western painting (i.e. western painting underwent evolution from realism to abstractionism, whereas Oriental painters tried to capture an abstract idea from the very beginning). That is why calligraphy and ink painting are always considered sister arts in the Far East.

The Most Anticipated Books of Spring 2017Submitted by renee.inklings on Wed, 04/19/2017 - 9:05am
It's time to sit outside and soak in that spring sunshine! Here is a great list of books from Publisher's Weekly. Call, email, or come on in and we'll order them for you, pronto:
Publisher's Weekly asked their reviews editors to pick the most notable books publishing in Spring 2017. Be sure to check out their picks for most-anticipated children's and young adult books for spring 2017, as well.
Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders (Random House, Feb.) - A Dantesque tour through a Georgetown cemetery teeming with spirits, the book takes place on a February night in 1862, when Abraham Lincoln visits the grave of his recently interred 11-year-old son, Willie
The Refugees by Viet Thanh Nguyen (Grove, Feb.) - Pulitzer-winner Nguyen's story collection features a young Vietnamese refugee who suffers profound culture shock when he comes to live with two gay men in San Francisco, and a woman whose husband is suffering from dementia and starts to confuse her for a former lover.
The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley by Hannah Tinti (Dial, Mar.) - A young girl moves back to the New England fishing village where her father, Hawley, finds work on the docks. But lurking over this family are mysteries, including the mother who died and the ghosts of Hawley's past.
Ill Will by Dan Chaon (Ballantine, Mar.) - A psychologist in suburban Cleveland, Dustin is drifting through his 40s when he hears the news: his adopted brother, Rusty, is being released from prison. Thanks in part to Dustin's testimony, 30 years ago, Rusty received a life sentence for the massacre of Dustin's parents, aunt, and uncle.

Tim Ellis brings personal service to the auction arena and has held a large number of very successful sales since 1996.
There are many advantages to both buyer and seller in using the auction method of marketing to facilitate a property sale. The auction normally requires about six weeks from date of contract to the actual sale followed by a two week period to close the sale. Auctions have no contingencies affecting the sale so the buyer needs to do his or her research prior to auction day. Costs to the seller are the direct marketing expenses and normal closing items-title, taxes, survey, etc., however, the commission is usually passed on to the buyer in the form of a buyer's premium which is added to the high bid amount leaving the seller with that sum. Real estate auctions usually have a reserve amount which must be realized at the sale or the property is not then sold.

It wasn't your idea, but you made the call.
It wasn't your idea, but you liked it, even if you probably didn't want to be too actively involved.
But then I involved you.
I'm not sure why.
I didn't need you for the process.
Maybe, on some level, I thought it would be good for you. Or maybe I just didn't want to do it alone.
I'm genuinely not sure.
But I feel guilty. And selfish.
As soon as I started, you stretched out on the floor and gratefully played with a Nintendo DSi — regifted because it is missing an apparently crucial "3" in its name.
I looked at you and chuckled.
I turned back to the monitor and watched the pictures change from one to another.
Then I got lost.
I saw your face getting older in each folder.
Different glasses.
Different favourite singer.
And I saw her.
The reason why we were there.
Memories flooded.
As they always do.
As they did the last time I was sitting at that computer, gathering the photos for the funeral director to use in a slideshow that unfairly never ended.
As they did when I had to stand in the back of a church packed to the point of bulging at the beautifully gilded seams.
When I see a picture where she wears an expression we frequently see on your face, I glance over at you. You've grown a foot since last she saw you.
I turn back to the computer before I start thinking about everything else she's missed.
Too late.
I wonder.
Would you two have hit the point yet where you butt heads?
Most people would guess yes.
Both of you being so strong-willed.
But there is a softness to it.
And you shared it.
And you shared a temperament.
And you shared quirks.
And you shared a personality.
And you shared chairs. Frequently.
I miss seeing that.
I know you miss it more.
But would she have had to be more mother than friend these days?
Are your shorts too short?
Your shirts too skimpy?
When would lines be drawn?
When would circles be closed?
You guys would have figured it out.
She'd always have your back.
That's what breaks my heart the most, you know?
I've seen your strength.
I'm still in awe.
But it's not fucking fair.
You handled it with grace.
None of us knew it would be the hardest punch in a year of absolute body shots for our family.
You were amazing.
We were all so proud.
We still are.
I look back at the floor where you'd been stretched out.
You're gone to the beach now.
Playing in the ocean.
Making people laugh.

Revival of Indo-Pak ties takes beating
Neither the Government of India nor the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was interested in a bilateral series with Pakistan.
Neither the Government of India nor the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was interested in a bilateral series with Pakistan. But recently, there were positive vibes in cricketing circles after Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had a discussion with his India counterpart Dr Manmohan Singh during the cricket World Cup semi-final at Mohali earlier this year. Fraternity was abuzz that the government may show some leniency after almost four years.
Pakistan PM Yousuf Raza Gilani (left) with PM Manmohan Singh in Mohali.

The hunch became stronger when Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Zaka Ashraf revealed that he was invited by the BCCI president N Srinivasan to discuss cricketing matters. But those chances of revival have taken a heavy beating following the spot fixing scandal where three Pakistan cricketers -- Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir found guilty by the Southwork Crown Court in London, were handed jail sentences.
"Firstly, it wasn't our decision to ban Pakistan. It was government's call and if a bilateral series has to happen, the central government has to give its nod. But since both the Prime Ministers met during the World Cup and discussed the issue, there was a glimmer of hope for a bilateral series here. But after this spot-fixing scandal, there is absolutely no chance of revival," a BCCI official told MiD DAY yesterday.
BCCI though was reluctant to have a bilateral series with Pakistan only because of the controversies revolving around them, the official added.
