While I'm away, readers give the advice.
On remaining friends with exes:
My girlfriend is still friendly with her ex-husband, still talks to him regularly, and still expresses concern for him, because his life became pretty messed up before, during and after their split. When I compare this with my own divorce, which ended amicably after far too much childishness and spite along the way, I appreciate my girlfriend's maturity and kindness. ...

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks can boast of some mighty beasts among their supporters: two massive bronze lions that guard the Art Institute of Chicago.
The lions started sporting Blackhawks helmets on Wednesday, the day of the first Stanley Cup finals game between the Chicago team and the Boston Bruins. The museum says the helmets are "custom-made," which makes sense given that each lion weighs about three tons.
It's not the first time the statues posted outside the museum's Michigan Avenue entrance have touted their apparent support for local teams; They wore Chicago Bears and Chicago White Sox helmets when those teams made their championship runs.
They also celebrate the holiday season, when they're each decorated with wreaths.

Hello Girlies!
It's been quite a while since I posted last. I wasn't busy being a nerd but rather, I was busy enjoying my vacation mode while Shanna does all the writing hehehe!
For a year and a half now, I have never bought a mascara because I have a "fairy god mascara supplier" I shall hide using the name ASKMEWHATS :)) hehehehe! But it's true! Everytime my supply runs out and I have this urge to buy my own, she would magically hand me a sample mascara! I had like 3 consecutive tubes from her. Since we don't see each other anymore than before, I sort of "missed" having her pop out of her cubicle and give me my mascara present *awww*. So now, I should start scouting one on my own.
I have three choices in mind: Cover Girl Lash Blast, Revlon Grow Luscious, and Maybelline Magnum Volum Express. To start things first, I have never tried any of the mascaras. I will be basing my "buying decision" based on the print ads and blogger reviews. Let's see if any of these mascara 4Ps (Product, Price, Packaging, and Promotion) will lure me into buying their product.
Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara
Price: Php 575.00
I love Drew Barrymore here. She looks so pretty! Love the yellow theme
Lash blast promises more length (which I'm not aiming for)
I'm not liking the wand but they said that this is Covergirl's longeset brush ever
Read good reviews as well
Price ranks as the middle between the 3 mascaras
Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara
Price: Php 625.00
I like Jessica Biel. And she looks gorgeous in here :)
I'm looking for volume rather than length so Grow Luscious isn't so appealing to me
The packaging is ordinary compared to the 2 mascaras. It's the usual cylinder shape. But I like the turquoise color just so they don't get nothing hehehe!
I don't like the wand as well. Typical and the usual.
Read not so good reviews on this
Grow Luscious is the most expensive of the 3 mascaras
Maybelline Magnum Volum Express Mascara
Price: Php 429.00
A friend of mine gave me a Maybelline mascara before as a gift from her trip to Guam. Ever since I have been using Maybelline Mascaras
2 friends of mine (including Shanna) are current users of Maybelline Magnum
I like the packaging. Not the usual cylinder type. Plus purple and gold/yellow is eye catchy! (Looks like the Lakers mascara hehehehe!)
I'm liking the wand. It's long and thick to get the mascara from within. Has different bristle sizes too.
I want more volume than more length to my lashes so this appeals to me
Read good reviews on it
Always voted as Best Drugstore Mascara in InStyle magazine
Maybelline Magnun is the cheapest of the three
What's the verdict?????
Though it doesn't have a celebrity endorser, and it has more pros than cons, I will buy Maybelline Magnum Volum Express.
What do you think??? Did I make the right decision? :)

July 20, 2012
Singita received the sought after Best Hotel in the World award in New York last night (Thursday 19 July). The privately owned, Cape Town based conservation company has been voted the No. 1 Best Hotel in the World in the US Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards no less than five different times, and has featured on the list for nine consecutive years overall. This is an unparalleled achievement for a small, privately owned South African conservation company, ahead of stiff competition from globally renowned hospitality groups that include some of the world's most celebrated hotels and resorts.
This year not only did Singita Grumeti in Tanzania scoop the coveted 1st position as Top Hotel in the World for the second consecutive year, but South African sister lodges, Singita Kruger National Park secured the 7th spot, followed by Singita Sabi Sand in the 10th position in the Travel + Leisure 2012 World's Best Awards list of Top 100 Hotels overall – in what is generally considered as 'the world's most prestigious readers' poll'.
Singita first scooped up the number one 'Best in the World' position in the Top 100 Overall category in 2004. Since then the company has been voted as a favourite by Travel + Leisure readers each and every year. After the first-time win in 2004 (Best Hotel in the World), Singita scored first place rankings in 2006, 2008, 2011 and again this year, 2012. Furthermore Singita has been voted in the No. 2 best position overall in the world, three different times.
Being recognized in this way has an important impact on tourism in Africa, as Singita founder and CEO Luke Bailes comments: 'We need to ensure that there is a pristine and authentic environment for travellers to experience for many years to come. Singita's philosophy of protecting and preserving large tracts of wilderness for future generations will be magnified more and more as unspoiled parts of the world continue to shrink or disappear completely in the face of population growth. We couldn't be more grateful for the support of friends and travellers who are acknowledging our efforts.'

A massive wildfire north of Los Angeles is 42 percent contained but fire officials say it still threatens about 5,000 homes.
The blaze in the Angeles National Forest grew slightly to 148,258 acres, or nearly 232 square miles.
Higher humidity and a lack of wind helped fire crews, who will concentrate Friday on keeping its eastern end from moving down into foothill communities such as Altadena.
Los Angeles County fire Capt. Mark Whaling says 11 homes in a remote canyon area remain evacuated.
The 11-day-old blaze was caused by arson, burning 64 homes and killing two firefighters.

Ivan Berryman
Latest info : At the beginning of 2010, Ivan is working on the partner painting to the fantastic large World War One aviation combat painting which was painted in 2009. The World War Two partner painting will be the same massive size of 78 inches by 36 inches. The scene will show the battle above Convoy CW8 in the English Channel on 25th July 1940. Ivan chose this scene because it features several aircraft types and some quite well-known fighter pilots. In the picture are Spitfires, Hurricanes, Bf.109s and Stukas. The Stukas were bombing the convoy and British aircraft of 64 Sqn, 54 Sqn and 111 Sqn were scrambled to defend the ships, but were outnumbered by five to one. Because of the view, Dover itself is not visible in the scene, but the action is taking place above a sunlit sea where the convoy is clearly visible under attack. Over the next few months progress photos of this fantatstic painting will be shown.
Over the last 30 years, Ivan Berryman has become a leading aviation, motor racing and naval artist. In this time, the subjects of his paintings have been wide and varied as he has deliberately strived to include some of the lesser know aircraft, ships and events in his portfolio, which includes aircraft like the Defiant, TSR2, Beaufort, ships including MTBs and corvettes, and around 100 different aircraft of the first world war. In addition to this he has taken new approaches to the classic subjects of his field, including the Dambuster Lancasters, Battle of Britain Spitfires, Bf109s and Hurricanes, HMS Hood, Bismarck and the best known naval ships, as well as some iconic sporting moments. In his own words : Art and aviation have been like a brother and sister to me. We have grown up together, learned together and made our adult lives together. But you do not have to have an appreciation of aircraft to admire the graceful lines of a Spitfire or the functional simplicity of a Focke-Wulf 190. They are themselves a work of art and they cry out to be painted - not as machines of war and destruction, but as objects of beauty, born of necessity and function, yet given a life and iconic classicism beyond their original calling. My interest and love of art and aircraft was gifted to me by my father, a designer and aeronautical engineer of considerable repute. Denis Berryman C.Eng. FRAeS. He gave me his eyes, his passion, his dedication and his unwavering professionalism. I owe him everything. And I miss him terribly. A love of art and of beautiful and interesting things takes you on a journey. You discover new interests, new fascinations, and you want to paint them. You want to paint them in their environment, in their element. Whether it is an aeroplane, a warship, a racing car or a beautiful woman, their gift to an artist is the same: Their lines, their texture and the way that light and shadows give them form. These are the food and oxygen of an artist. Not the paint and the canvas. These are mere tools. The secret is in the passion and the perception...

Report shows that Effigy Mounds created over $4 million in economic benefit in 2012
A new National Park Service (NPS) report shows that 207,352 visitors to national parks in Iowa spent $11.5 million and supported 176 jobs in the state in 2012.
The national parks in Iowa are Effigy Mounds National Monument, near Marquette, and Herbert Hoover National Historic Site, in West Branch.
In 2012, Effigy Mounds National Monument saw a total of 78,540 recreation visits. Of those visits, 68,890 were by non-locals. Total visitor spending was $4,603,600, with nearly all of that—$4,409,300—coming from non-local visitors. The total visitor spending supported 68 jobs.
"The national parks of Iowa attract visitors from across the country and around the world and provide premiere historical, cultural, natural and recreational experiences," said NPS Midwest Regional Director Michael T. Reynolds. "This new report shows that national park tourism is a significant driver in the national economy—returning $10 for every $1 invested—and funding generated by national parks has a swift and direct positive impact on local economies in Iowa as well."
The peer-reviewed visitor spending analysis was conducted by U.S. Geological Survey economists Catherine Cullinane Thomas and Christopher Huber and Lynne Koontz for the National Park Service. The report shows $14.7 billion of direct spending by 283 million park visitors in communities within 60 miles of a national park. This spending supported 243,000 jobs nationally, with 201,000 jobs found in these gateway communities, and had a cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy of $26.75 billion.
According to the report, most visitor spending dollars support jobs in restaurants, grocery and convenience stores (39 percent); hotels, motels and B&Bs (27 percent) and other amusement and recreation (20 percent).

So I have been reading on this site for a while now studying and just wondering a few things,
I would like to put in a carputer in my Lincoln LS and was wondering if a DC to DC PSU will be okay for this PC or do I need an inverter.
The computer is an HP DC5100 SFF. The PSU in the computer now is "HP dps-240fb-1" 240W MAX output, input is 100-240V ~ /5A 47Hz-63Hz
I'm thinking about getting a couple car batterys so I can use my electronics while the car is off. They would not be connected to the alternator, I would charge them when they get low. Does this sound good?
Let me know what you think? Im also considering suggestions and ideas so feel free to give your input
My car is completely stock right now

Bringing art to the bathroomComment on this story
The hot, wet and steamy conditions in bathrooms limit decor options – it's not the best place to hang art or wallpaper.
But now Bathroom Bizarre has launched a range of uniquely printed glass decor wall panels, shower screens, splashbacks and countertops that are ideal for bathrooms, kitchens and even outdoor areas around spa baths, pools or water features.
Saville Jacobson of Bathroom Bizarre says: "The range comprises a selection of glass panels with quality artwork printed directly on to them – each image is loaded and printed directly on to the glass using a specialised software system."
He says the ink used to print the images is robust and will not fade, discolour or scratch easily.
"It can be easily cleaned with any non-abrasive household cleaners. The product will have a UV-resistant lifespan of seven years for indoor applications, and five years for exterior applications.
"The glass used for these products comprises 8mm toughened safety glass for the shower screens and wall panels, while the splashbacks are made from 6mm toughened safety glass and 15mm toughened safety glass will be used for the vanity tops."
The shower screens are frameless for a seamless and clean aesthetic. They are really simple to put up, and require very little preparation for their installation. Each screen comes with two floor-stabilising feet made of rust-resistant chrome-plated brass, and fixing screws. Two chrome-plated brass stabilising arms hold the screen in place and support the free-standing screens – each arm connects to the actual screen on one side, and is attached via screws directly to a brick wall on the other.
The decorative wall panels come with four pre-drilled holes in each panel for secure fitment directly to a brick wall. Simply position them where you would like to hang the panel, mark the holes accordingly, drill the holes into the wall and screw the panels in place.
The same applies to the splashbacks – merely position them behind the bathroom cabinet and drill them securely into place.
Currently, the images for the shower screens are limited to the following graphics: Birchwood Forest, Buddha, Shell, Rose and Orchid. For a more subdued and neutral aesthetic, you can also order the shower screens with one of the following frosted designs: Wave, Twirl and Bamboo.
The back wall panels will be available with the following graphics: Windmill, Desert Tree and Goldfish.
The shower screens and wall panels measure 1 200mm x 2 200mm and retail for R4 895.
The splashbacks measure 780mm x 400mm and cost R795. - The Star

text: Texas Considers Alcohol Sales at Gun Shows Texas State Rifle Association leader calls idea 'confusing' By Newser Editors and Wire Services Posted Aug 9, 2014 3:50 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (91) (Newser) – Texas could start allowing alcohol sales at gun shows provided they don't allow live ammunition or let buyers take possession of their weapons at the events. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission announced the proposal yesterday. It will hold a 30-day public comment period before any change is made. The proposal also would require that firearms being shown for sale be disabled and not readily convertible for use. Under current rules, if a gun show is held at a venue licensed to sell alcohol, drinks sales and consumption are suspended during the time it takes to set up, conduct, and dismantle the gun show. "We got a request from a gun club in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to amend the rules," said agency spokeswoman Carolyn Beck. She said a decision could come as early as November, and added that fears of alcohol sales keeping concealed-handgun carriers from entering gun shows were unfounded, the Texas Tribune reports. Alice Tripp, legislative director of the The Texas State Rifle Association, called the proposal "confusing" and questioned whether gun advocates would want to attend gun shows with such restrictions. "Does that make any sense? Who would buy a gun at a gun show where you couldn't take possession of it?" she asked. "Nobody is interested in selling alcohol at a gun show."

"Fly Fishing,
Lure Fishing or Private Fishery"
The Tasmanian fishery is a diverse, as it is extensive. For your assistance, the wealth of information on it has been divided into the following sections:
- Fly Fishing
- Lure Fishing and
- Private Fisheries
Our fishery is disease free and we strive to keep it that way. You are encourage to leave your potential infected landing nets and waders at home and avail yourself of this equipment to be provided by your guide. If you elect to bring them please either disinfect them before departure or approach you guide to do so once you have arrived in Tasmania. Of particular concern is the possible spread of Didymo (rock snot) from New Zealand.
Details of the local Angling Regulations can be obtained by visiting the Inland Fisheries Service web site at http://www.ifs.tas.gov.au/ifs/goingfishing/regulations.
Fly Fishing
Tasmania's showcase trout waters are found in the lakes of the Central Highlands. Essentially these are wild trout fisheries dominated by naturally spawned brown trout, though wild rainbows are common enough. The wily nature of the trout, the confusing diversity of the waters and the variability of the weather has lead to a reputation of demanding trout fishing, hence the ongoing fascination and world-class image.
Successful trout fishing, and lake fishing in particular, has a great deal to do with confidence and this is where up-to-the-minute information about hot spots, water levels, intensity of hatches, feeding patterns, methods, flies, etc. becomes essential to success. Fortunately Tasmania is well catered by professional local guides who are able to give you the advantage of years of experience - instantly.
In springtime, highland waters are renowned for their wet fly fishing and, while the weather can be very fickle, this period offers extraordinary sport. There are other attractions too, including sea trout and traditional stream fishing. But perhaps the very best time to fish is from early summer to mid autumn, when the fish can be easily seen cruising in crystal clear water or else found rising steadily to mayflies, beetles and all manner of other goodies.
The real addict will be pleased to learn that several major lakes (including Craigbourne Dam, Great Lake, Lake Barrington, Lake Burbury, Lake Pedder, Lake Gordon and Lake King William) are now open to year-round angling so there is even scope to fish for trout during the depths of winter.
Tasmania has such a reputation for its quality fishing that many visitors come here expecting to take limit bags. But quality does not necessarily equal quantity. Wild trout are seldom easy to fool, so accept the sport as a challenge.
A 5 or 6 wt fly rod is the best general purpose rod for use in Tasmania. As you are usually sight fishing, floating lines are ideal and traditional weight-forward designs are recommended. While tippets of 2 kg (0.17 mm diameter) are best for clearwater fishing, especially when using small dries or nymphs, larger diameter lines of 2.5 - 3 kg (0.22 - 0.25 mm diameter) are more practical in snaggy or discoloured water.
Vinyl chest waders are adequate for most fishing conditions, though in summer you may prefer to wade wet, perhaps wearing thermal stockings.
Remember that ozone depletion results in the Tasmanian sun being unusually harsh. Always wear long sleeves, sun-smart gloves and a broad rimmed hat. Cover up any exposed skin with 30-plus sunscreen and don't forget the lip balm. Wear polarised glasses with a 100 % UV rating at all times when on the water.
As far as flies go, it is rarely essential to have exact imitations and it is possible to get by with just a few patterns.
Feature fishing
In Tasmania the emphasis is on stalking trout, and many locals never bother to fish blind. Let's have a look at what it's all about.
Since most waters are clear and shallow, polaroiding (looking for cruising trout with the aid of glare-defying polarised sun glasses) is the main tactic. Blue sky days are best though proficient anglers become adept at spotting fish in low light.
An effective method, especially where the water is too deep to wade, is to look for fish from the bank. Choose either a sheltered shore or one where the waves are striking at an angle and walk as much bank as possible - the biggest mistake new comers make is to fish too long in the one spot.
If you are searching a shallow shelf it pays to wade out from the bank and to polaroid both back in towards shore and out along the lip.
Where there are extensive flats you can wade well out from shore and use wind to advantage. Rhythmic waves (as opposed to scatty riffle) open up the water and give a better view of the trout. Wade down wind and be on the look out for moving shadows and stationary anomalies.
Fishing from a drifting boat makes polaroiding easier still - you have the advantage of height and the ability to cover lots of water very quickly. The best boats are properly rigged as casting platforms and are kitted out with efficient drogues and silent, maneuverable electric outboards. Visitors are probably best advised to utilise the services of well-equipped and knowledgeable guides.
Fish which are not actively feeding from the surface will usually rise to take a dry fly, the Red Tag being the most popular first choice. You can't be too dogmatic about these things, however, and if you get consistent refusals it is time to change to an emerger or small nymph.
Best flies
- Red Tag (sizes 12-14)
- Plastic Gum Beetles (sizes 8-10)
- Parachute emergers (sizes 10-14)
- Green Nymph (unweighted; sizes 12-14)
- Hare and Copper (lightly weighted; deep water only; sizes 12-14)
Hot spots
Great Lake;
Bradys chain of lakes;
Lake Echo;
Lake St. Clair;
Western Lakes and anywhere else where the water is clear.
If you are a connoisseur of mayfly fishing, Tasmania's high-country lakes will cater well for your passion.
The best dun-based sport is triggered by the Highland Mayfly and the Penstock Brown. These occur in great numbers on highland lakes throughout summer and are eagerly sought by trout which can often be seen systematically clomping down all the hatchlings in sight. Fish rise both in sheltered bays and along exposed shores where they are washed in with waves and wind. Peak fishing usually occurs from 10 am to 4 pm, so don't plan lunch for the middle of the day. Although calm conditions are usually best, some venues (notably Little Pine Lagoon) can offer surprising activity even when things are quite windy. What really stems the rise is very bright weather or extreme cold.
Adult mayflies, especially black spinners, also cause intense activity. The best rises occur over patches of calm water and prompt trout to leap high into the air. Individual fish are best targeted between bursts of activity and you will find that polaroid glasses are invaluable.
Riverine hatches are not as consistent nor as prolific as those on highland lakes, though marvelous action to both red and black spinners can be enjoyed on some of the lowland broadwaters in the South Esk catchment during spring.
Best time of year
October to December (lowland rivers)
December to February (highland lakes)
Best flies:
- Highland Dun (sizes 12-14)
- Black Spinner (sizes 10-14)
- Red Spinner (sizes 10-14)
- Emergers (sizes 10-14)
- Green Nymph (unweighted; sizes 12-14)
Hot spots: Arthur's Lake; Little Pine Lagoon; Western Lakes (Lake Fergus, Lake Kay, Christys Creek, Silver Lake) and Macquarie River.
Frog time
Picture a dozen or so bold brown trout searching slowly and methodically in extremely shallow water, displaying dorsals, tails and sometimes a great deal of their backs. Imagine one or more of them sprinting suddenly, creating huge bow waves for several metres as they swoop upon unsuspecting prey. In springtime, when frog feeders are really on the go, they are probably as reliable and easy to see as any trout is ever likely to be.
Marsh fish are especially alert to splashes and wakes and are usually very keen to strike. They will move a long distance to hammer the fly so accurate casting is not't usually essential.
Experienced anglers delight in prospecting likely gutters, depressions and pockets between the weeds and tussocks. This can produce fast, furious action even if the trout are being unusually secretive and difficult to locate.
It is important to ensure that your fly is capable of making a splash and that it can be teased up to and along the surface. In very shallow water a semi-buoyant fly is crucial - anything heavier is prone to snagging.
The best frog years are wet ones. What you really want is water rising up and filling permanent and semi-permanent marshes. Things are even better if there have already been a succession of wet years as this will have allowed depleted frog populations time to reestablish.
Bad-weather days are better than fine ones because rain and mist really bring the frogs out in force. However, one of the nice things about marshes is that they are usually found away from the turbulent, destructive force of big waves and this means you will be relatively sheltered from the worst of the wind.
Best time of year:
September to November
Best Flies:
- Sloane style Fur Fly (sizes 8-10)
- black Woolly Bugger. (sizes 10-12)
- bead-headed black Woolly Bugger (deep water only; sizes 10-12)
Hot spots:
Bronte Lagoon (notably in amongst the tussocks at Tailers Bay, the Long Shore and Woodwards Bay);
Woodwards Broadwater (adjacent to the Lyell Highway between Bronte Lagoon and Brady's Lake);
Tungatinah Lagoon (the marshy corner near the northern end of the dam wall);
Woods Lake (Pattersons Flats);
Lake Echo (Teal Bay, Large Bay and Broken Bay);
St. Clair Lagoon;
Pine Tier Lagoon (northern end);
Nineteen Lagoons ( Double Lagoon, Lake Kay) and
any marsh in virtually any trout water around the state.
Classic Tailers
When lake levels subside, trout will still tail while feeding upon snails, water slaters and scud (amphipods). Such fish move about relatively slowly and are not as aggressive as frog feeders. They often seem to be quite preoccupied, searching with their heads down amongst the weeds and/or rocks, and are usually relatively difficult to catch. Nonetheless they provide excitement in the extreme and are not to be missed. Some anglers prefer to drift a dry fly but most opt for a wet beetle or nymph. An inert presentation is recommended though ideally the fish should notice the fly settle. The quarry are more cooperative on some days than on others and a pattern or technique that works today won't necessarily work tomorrow. When things are difficult it pays to keep moving along the shore covering as many fish as possible in the hope that eventually one will take.
The best activity usually occurs between first light and sunup, so be prepared for some early starts. While bright sunny conditions usually signal an end to the tailing session, fish will remain active if things are overcast and breezy.
Best time of year:
October to December
Best flies:
- Fiery Brown Beetle (sizes 10-14)
- Brown Nymph (sizes 10-14)
- Nymbeet (sizes 10-14)
- representative shrimp and snail patterns (sizes 10-14)
Hot spots:
Little Pine Lagoon
Bronte Lagoon
St. Clair Lagoon
Western Lakes.
Most waters with shallow margins
Gum beetles are dome-shaped insects which look rather like giant ladybirds except that they are blowfly sized and never so bright and spotty. Their colour varies, most being a yellowish or greyish green. They inhabit eucalypt trees and on warm days, when they take to the wing, many blunder onto water surfaces. In fact, beetles can be carried kilometres by the wind and often ending up littering lakes where there is not a gum tree in sight. They stimulate spectacular summertime rises, especially on the Central Plateau where, along with mayflies, they provide for definitive dry-fly fishing.
In places which are sheltered and of relatively low altitude (like Dee Lagoon at about 650 m) beetles can often be on the water by early November. In higher, more exposed habitats (such as Great Lake at almost 1050 m) significant falls might not occur until Christmas time. But all this varies according to prevailing conditions.
When there are very few beetles about, the trout do not stay on the surface long enough to provide good sport. On the other hand, if there is an oversupply, fish gorge themselves too quickly and the rise is still something of a nonevent. Ideal conditions occur when there is just a fair sprinkling of beetles and then the trout will feed pretty much as they do during a good dun hatch, chomping down one beetle after another.
Be warned: often enough the fishing is plain tough. Sometimes the trout take naturals with gusto, mopping up every one in sight, and still refuse each and every artificial. But that, of course, is what makes fishing for beetle feeders so damned addictive.
Best time of Year:
November to March
Best Flies:
Plastic Gum Beetle (in a range of colours from brown to green/yellow to slate grey; sizes 10-14)
Hot spots:
Dee Lagoon
Great Lake
Arthur's Lake
Lake Echo
Brady's chain of lakes
Lake St. Clair
Western Lakes
just about any other water in Tasmania.
Scottish Loch-style fishing
Loch style fishing is really a synonym for active fly fishing from a drifting boat. Since the English master John Horsey visited Tasmania early in 1999, such fishing in Tasmania generally and on Arthur's Lake and Great Lake in particular has undergone a revolution. Strange as it may seem at first, English techniques work on our wild browns just as well as they do on rainbow 'stockies'.
The secret to successful loch-style fishing involves using a team of flies to search efficiently in likely water. Proficient exponents work their way along all the best features, casting a short line (10-15 m) and allowing the cast to rest on the water for no more than five to ten seconds or so at a time. They also cast and retrieve efficiently, often teasing the flies across the surface in short bursts and lifting them from the water one at a time. Moreover, they take care to cast out to the side of the drift, rather than straight in front, so that the flies are always retrieved over new water.
A team of three flies is preferred, the top dropper being 3 ft from the fly line, the second 5 ft from that and the point fly yet another 5 ft further on - making an overall leader length of 13 ft. For normal boat fishing, the English often use a team of wet flies or nymphs but Tasmanians have been much more keen to embrace the 'three dry flies' option. This method involves the use of different flies so that you hedge your bets and so that one or more can act as an attractor. The preferred patterns have lightly dressed seals-fur bodies and cheap 'nasty' hackles. Once treated with floatant they sit in the surface film but never sink.
Think about what the technique means - six or more presentations per minute with three flies covering new water each time. It is way more efficient than sitting one fly in the one spot for ages at a time. Not only does it result in spectacular bags when conditions are not conducive to stalking, but it provides much of the excitement of regular sight fishing methods - you can usually see the trout rise through the water and watch the take.
Best time of year:
November to March
Best flies:
- English Hopper (sizes 10-14)
- Bob's Bits (sizes 10-14)
- Carrot Fly (sizes 10-14)
Hot spots:
Arthur's Lake
Great Lake
just about anywhere else.
Wind lanes and midges
Midging fish are most prominent in the early hours after first light, though if things are overcast it can continue through until midday or beyond. You can even stumble upon significant afternoon or evening activity.
The best conditions occur after cool, flat-calm nights when early-morning breezes push accumulations of midge pupae into wind lanes.
Wind lanes are current effects that appear either as strips of froth or slicks of calm over an otherwise rippled surface. They are caused almost entirely by wind pressure (a complex process) and, since they serve to concentrate both surface and subsurface food, they are noted hot spots for trout.
Sometimes when the fish are feeding on larger midges, the fishing can be relatively easy and large Royal Wulffs will suffice. Other times the trout are preoccupied with tiny insects and the fishing seems almost impossible. Either way the sport is about as exciting as fly fishing gets.
Generally it is best to use imitations but when the going is especially tough crazy experimentation is called for. Try plopping a small bead-headed nymph one foot in front and stripping frantically - this will often initiate a reflex response from the fish.
Best time of year:
November to late March
Best flies:
- English buzzer patterns (sizes 14-18)
- Fiery Brown Beetle (sizes 10-12)
Hot spots:
Lake Burbury
Dee Lagoon
Arthur's Lake
Great Lake
Evening risers and mudeyes
Most anglers are familiar with the evening rise, a phenomenon in which surface activity picks up late in the afternoon, peaking at dusk and continuing until after dark. When the weather is warm and calm, many Tasmanian trout are likely to be found feeding this way, sometimes on mayflies and midges but more often on terrestrials. In waning light the trout become less selective and will often take any nondescript dry. Royal Wulffs are popular simply because the white wings make them easy for anglers to see.
Despite all this, you will find that the very best evening rises are caused by mudeyes, the larvae of dragonflies. The lakes on the West Coast and in the southwest are strongholds for dragonflies and in warm, settled weather the mudeye migrations have to be experienced to be believed. The insects look for any protruding structure on which to crawl out and hatch. Drowned sticks and emergent anglers are favoured. On really good nights the insects crawl about your face, down your neck, up your nostrils - and all the time the trout, browns and rainbows, are out there feeding noisily away. The action usually starts in earnest late in the afternoon and can keep going all night.
To the uninitiated, searching for rising fish at night might sound ridiculous but you quickly learn to push your senses to the limit, identifying some fish by starlit rise-forms and others by sound alone. A definite plus is the fact that fish seek out wakes and silhouettes and are normally happy to take flies on the retrieve.
Best time of year:
January to early March
Best flies:
- mudeye patterns (sizes 8-10)
- Sloan style Fur Fly (sizes 8-10)
- Cork Fly (sizes 8-10)
Hot spots:
Lake Burbury
Lake Pedder
Lake Gordon
Lake Mackintosh
other lakes on the West Coast and in the Southwest
Sea trout
Sea trout are simply brown trout which choose to spend most of their adult life in the ocean. They grow especially fast, become distinctively silver and are highly prized by serious trout anglers the world over. Whilst there are modest sea trout fisheries in southern Victoria, the runs in Tasmania are far superior.
Sea trout follow huge schools of small baitfish (whitebait) in from the ocean to the estuaries and lower freshwater reaches of most rivers and coastal creeks, with the very best activity occurring in springtime. When feeding, the trout charge about all over the surface of the water, putting on truly spectacular displays. They snatch appropriate wet flies and lures and fight with a power uncommon in lake fish.
In general the best flies are lightly dressed, light grey in colour with a prominent silver body and a distinct black and silver eye, though relatively plain green and white streamers are also popular.
The reliability of this activity is heavily influenced by seasonal factors such as rainfall but when you strike things just right the fishing is simply unforgettable.
Best time of year:
September to December
Best flies:
- whitebait imitations (sizes 6-8)

Great Forester River
Inglis River
Duck River
Fastwater streams
Whilst most Tasmanian fastwaters are no match for their counterparts on the mainland of Australia or in New Zealand, they provide anglers with a real opportunity to catch good bags of wild trout and remain a delight to fish.
Most of the best waters are lowland fisheries which run through (or out of) dense forest. The banks are often overgrown but the pools and runs are usually shallow enough to wade. This sort of fishing is at its best in summer and early autumn when the water is low and clear and the fish are hungry for dry flies and nymphs. Traditional upstream techniques work best.
Don't expect big fish - most weigh just 0.2 - 0.6 kg - but every season each water gives up a handful of real monsters, including some in excess of 5 kg.
Best time of year:
December to March
Best flies
- Royal Wulff (sizes 10-12)
- grasshopper imitations (sizes 8-10)
- Green Nymph (unweighted; sizes 10-12)
- Hare and Copper (lightly weighted; sizes 10-14)
Hot spots:
River Leven (at Gunns Plains and Loongana)
upper Meander River
Tyenna River
Styx River
Weld River
St. Patrick's River
upper North Esk River
Meadow streams
The northern lowland region, incorporating the sluggish meadow streams of the South Esk catchment, has traditionally been the heart of Tasmania's river-based fishing and has featured heavily in the writings of some of Australia's most accomplished angling writers, including those of David Scholes. The fishing may not match the heights of yesteryear but is still excellent in its own right and the good news is that several guides now service the region, obtaining extraordinary results for their clients. Feature fishing includes flood-margins in spring and mayfly hatches in November/December. Tailrace water (from Great Lake) in Brumbys Creek and the lower Macquarie provides for more consistent sport throughout summer.
Best time of Year:
October to December (most waters)
December to March (Brumbys Creek and the lower Macquarie)
Best Flies:
- Red Spinner (sizes 12-14)
- Black Spinner (sizes 12-14)
- grasshopper patterns (sizes 8-12)
- Brown Nymph (unweighted; sizes 10-14)
- Sloane style Fur Fly (for flood-plain fishing and after dark; sizes 10-12)
Hot spots:

Lake River
Break O'Day River
Wilderness fishing
Tasmania's wilderness fisheries are recognised as being among the very best in the world. There is something in the human condition which savours isolation and the opportunity to become intimate with the natural environment. Imagine: no radios, no noisy cars, no people other than those with whom you choose to share your time. It has been said that the best private trout fisheries allow people to stalk rather than chase trout. But the wilderness is also exclusive, there only for those with the determination to experience land and self.
The Western Lakes (incorporating the Walls of Jerusalem National Park and the Central Plateau Conservation Area) is Australia's showcase wilderness trout fishery, comprising hundreds of shallow clearwaters - all within easy walking distance from one another - where fly fishers can search for risers, tailers and in some cases trophy fish.
The only parts of this region accessible by 2WD are the Nineteen Lagoons and Lake Mackenzie. Beyond lies true wilderness. There are some formal walking tracks but other destinations can be reached by following just about any cross-country route you care to dream up.
Other wilderness fisheries exist elsewhere in the World Heritage Area and at Mt Field.
Before setting out make sure that you are well informed about bush safety and that you carry essential camping equipment, including adequate maps and guide books. Remember, too, that blizzards can occur at anytime - even in summer.
Best time of year:
November to March
Best Flies:
- Red Tag (sizes 12-14)
- Brown Nymph (unweighted; sizes 12 -14)
- Highland Dun (sizes 10-12)
- Black Spinner (sizes 10-14)
- parachute emergers (sizes 10-14)
- gum beetle imitations (sizes 8-10)

Where do I go today?
Stalking fish is the name of the game and to get the best value out of your fishing holiday it is important to choose venues where you stand the best chance of polaroiding cruising fish, seeing risers or locating tailers. You must keep in mind that trout behaviour varies from water to water and that the weather will make one or other feeding pattern more probable than the rest.
Few new comers are fully prepared for the vagaries of the Tasmanian climate. Our weather is very, very fickle. One day it may be pouring with rain and blowing a gale, the next it could be snowing, the next it could be a blue-sky scorcher. Even in summer you are likely to experience these extremes, sometimes all in the one day. Moreover, winds have a tendency to spring up and die away without warning, according to no pattern whatsoever.
The one definite plus is that, unlike the situation in Victoria and New South Wales, it is rarely hot enough for long enough to force trout out of the shallows or down from the surface. You can use floating lines year round and, if sight fishing is your passion, you need never resort to sinking lines.
Unfortunately, many of Tasmania's fishing 'highlights' are dependent upon exacting weather conditions. Yes, there will be a phenomenal hatch of red spinners on the Macquarie River sometime in late spring or early summer, but it is unlikely the weekend you allocated three months earlier will see the water levels just so, nor could you reasonably expect that the weather will be perfectly calm and warm. Similarly, sea trout fishing is at the mercy of floods, not to mention the extent and timing of the whitebait migrations. So realistically you will likely find that the best fishing on offer is in the Central Highlands.
To get the best of what the State has to offer you should plan to fish sometime from mid October to late March. If you wish to get a chance at tailers, the period from October to December is prime time. On the other hand, polaroiding and fishing to risers are at their best from Christmas until early autumn.
The following advice is offered to shore-based anglers who wish to taste as much fishing action as possible. It only recommends waters which give up fish relatively easily and are reliable in both wet and dry years. Other first class waters - those best suited to boat fishing, those which do not fire every year and those which give up relatively few fish - are excluded.
There is every likelihood that something extra special will be happening
during your holidays: sea trout in the Derwent, frog feeders in the marshes
at Lake Sorell, mudeye migrations at Lake Pedder - the list is endless.
When you pop into a local tackle store, make sure you take time to chat
with the staff. They will be only too pleased to tell you where the action
is and will undoubtedly give you plenty of invaluable tips.
Wet, dull days in spring
Dull weather is ideal for tailing fish. The feature water for wet fly fishing is Bronte Lagoon, especially the sheltered shores of the tussock marshes in Tailers Bay, along the Long Shore, in Woodwards Bay and about the western end of Woodwards Broadwater. You will have timed things perfectly if the lake is rising after recent rain or at a sustained high level. If the lake is low you will still be able to rely on the dawn patrol.
Another reliable fishery for frog feeders is Lake Echo. Nowadays there is road access to the marshes in the northwestern corner of the impoundment - Teal Bay, Large Bay and Broken Bay - though you really need a high-clearance vehicle.
Hot spot number three is Little Pine Lagoon. Here the trout will usually be preoccupied with tiny scud (amphipods) in the weedy shallows.
In wet years there is also exceptional fishing along the northern shore of
Tungatinah Lagoon and the southwestern shore of Lake Binney
Bright days in spring
The aforementioned waters are still your best bets but things are going to be a little tougher as bright light is not conducive to tailing.
Take every advantage of low light conditions at dawn and dusk. In the middle of the day the fish will stay out a little deeper but you can usually polaroid cruisers providing the water is clear enough. The marshes at Lake Echo are be hard to beat in this regard.
Other good daytime options for polaroiding springtime cruisers are Tungatinah
Lagoon, Lake Binney and the western bays of Great Lake.
Hot, blue-sky days in summer
These are the days that Tasmanian fly fishers live for! - polaroiding
at its best. You are still likely to find tailing fish along suitable
shores at morning and dusk but the key time to be out on the water is
from 10 am to 4 pm when the sun is at its highest and visibility at
its peak. For best results you must select a venue with clear water
and a substrate which does not offer too much camouflage. Local favourites
include the northwestern bays of Lake Echo, all of St. Clair Lagoon,
the Franklin Beaches and Cynthia Bay at Lake St. Clair, the western
side of Great Lake, and even selected shores of the Brady's chain of
lakes. The Western Lakes are both exceptional and delightfully unique
but the catch rate is low and you may wish to delay a visit until you
have already notched up a few trout from easier waters.
Hot overcast days in summer
Cloudy dull weather is usually disastrous for polaroiding, especially if associated
with breezy riffle. However, if the air is warm, conditions will be
ideal for mayfly hatches. Use such weather to fully exploit the ever
reliable rises at Arthur's Lake (Pumphouse Bay, Hydro Bay, Jonah Bay,
Cowpaddock Bay, Sevenpound Bay, The Opening) and Little Pine Lagoon.
If you want to stay closer to Bronte Park, there are good hatches at
Bronte Lagoon (Fly Corner to Red Rocks Shore) and good beetle falls
on Pine Tier Lagoon.
Foul, cold days in summer
If you are combining family responsibilities with fishing and you have a flexible timetable, these are the days to devote to activities other than fishing. But if you are super-keen to fish at all costs rest assured that persistent prospecting with a nymph or wee wet will usually lure up a fish or two. The shallow weed beds in Lake Echo, Arthur's Lake and Bronte Lagoon, or the rocky shores of Great Lake and the Western Lakes, are as good as anywhere. Never let a lack of anticipation to allow you to slip into thoughtlessness - cover as much water as possible, never give up on polaroiding and always be on the look out for rises, bow-waves or tails.

Denver Dems showcase Colorado wines
The Colorado Statesman
Democrats in Denver's House District 6 got an early start on the holiday celebrating last month when they convened at the Congress Park home of state Rep. Lois Court and Patrick Reynolds for a fundraiser and jump start for the next election cycle.

The local Dems had such a successful GOTV effort for the 2010 election that they ended up depleting their party funds. So the forward-looking partisans decided to start preparing for the next set of elections with a wine sampling. (Printing, door hangers, phones, etc. all cost money...)
The $25 per person event featured Colorado wines supplied by Argonaut Wine and Liquors — where Colorado politicos shop for wine and spirits — and all were available for order at Court's lovely and festive home. The four featured wines that evening included Laughing Cat from Carlson Vineyards, a well-balanced, semi-sweet white wine produced from 100 percent Colorado-grown Gewurztraminer grapes in the Grand Valley. The heady, captivating aroma notes were lime candy, spice and rose. The taste was tropical fruit, honey, and Asian spices.
Also available for sampling was a 2008 Sweet Baby Red produced by Plum Creek Winery, and a 2008 Stoney Mesa Pinot Gris, made in the small town of Cedaredge and consisting of citrus aromas with hints of green apple and lemon. In order to preserve the fruit flavors of the grapes, they were pressed immediately at the winery using a membrane press and then cooled to clarify the juice. After racking the juice, the fermentation was slow and cool to preserve the aroma. It was then allowed to set for four months before filtration and bottling.
See how much we learned in the short time span of an hour!
Of course there was also music, political chatter and greeting of old and new friends. And good eats!
The most precious of attendees was Andrew Romanoff's dog Zorro, who bunks at Court's house when his master is out of town or on extended trips. The state Rep. takes such good care of him that we doubt he's ever going to leave!

"This trek is ideal for those passengers who really want to be far in the middle of nowhere with only nature surrounding them as they camp in an area that is scarcely seen by tourists. Huchuy Qosqo (small Cusco City) is situated above the Valley of Urubamba and offers very spectacular views over the mountain range Cordillera de Vilcanota. This trek is also a great way for you to enjoy a shorter trek that still includes Machu Picchu and Inca trails (with Inca stairs that are better than the Inca Trail). You will have one night camping in the wilderness and then the very next night will be spent in Aguas Calientes pueblo.
A fantastic two-day trek in the surroundings of Cusco, departing from Tambomachay, located just 10 minutes from Cusco, leading to Huchuy Qosqo, an ancient Inca archaeological site perched on a cliff with stunning views over the Sacred Valley of the Incas, crossing mountain passes, Andean communities and offering a large array of local flora and fauna. An excellent and less-beaten hike that can be complemented with a visit to Machupicchu as an alternative to the saturated Inca Trail.
ITINERARY: 2 nigths before your trek you have an orientation with your Tour Guide in your hostal / hotel in Cusco City.
We begin our journey by departing Cusco, by car, in the direction of the Inca Site known as Tambomachay (3700 meters). >From here, we will begin trekking down the road as it curves sharply up-hill to reach a pass of near 4200 meters. We will continue to follow the trail down into the valley and towards the small community at the bottom. As we descend along the trail, you will see a beautifully green valley stretching out as far as the eye can see. The path we will see on its right slope leads to Pisac. Passing through the village and across a new bridge, the trail takes us up over the second pass (4300 meters) and into high open country. On the way, we will pass by the beautiful Lake Qoricocha (Golden Lake in Quechua). We'll continue along this rustic trail, eventually arriving at the highest point of the trek, 4350 meter, with its stellar views of the surrounding mountain ranges. Finally, we'll descend througth the Pucamarca community (4010 meters), arriving in the late afternoon to our camping site: Huchuy Qosqo (small Cusco City). Here, we'll set up camp and enjoy the scenery of the Sacred Valley, watching different valleys ans mountains.
Huchuy Qosqo is perched above the Urubamba Valley, overlooking the little town of Lamay, which is a town dedicated to agriculture and raising cattle. Huchuy Qosqo was originally an administrative center like Pisac, and like Pisac, it also has Inca buildings made of stone and there is even one which has a great example of Inca style perfectly fitting stones. In the hillsides, we will also see some granaries because it was also an important agricultural center. Continuing along this now magnificent path, with Pitusiray looming above us, we will eventually pass an Inca stone and adobe gateway. This was / is the entrance to the ruins of Huchuy Qosqo for people who climbed up from the Urubamba Valley. Later in the afternoon, our private transport will drive us Ollantaytambo, where will catch the afternoon train to Aguas Calientes. Upon our arrival to Aguas Calientes. Then we are walking for 25 minutes to our Camping Site: Puente Ruinas (close to Urubamba River and Machu Picchu City).
On the third day of the tour, will wake up early and catch the bus up to Machu Picchu. Once there, we will have our 2 hour, guided portion of our Machu Picchu experience. Afterwards, we will then enjoy an additional 2 hours of free time, to explore on your own or walk up Huayna Picchu Mountain. Upon returning to Aguas Calientes, we will have lunch before coming back to Cusco in the afternoon.
- Breakfast on the first day and dinner on the last day
· $460 per person
Note: We include 7 kilos to carry
· Student Discount (with valid ISIC card) - $15
· Under 15 Discount - $15
· Under 7 Discount - $25
· Sleeping Bag (4 season) - $15 (Maximum size 1.95m / 6´4")
· Pair of Walking poles - $10
HUAYNA PICCHU: Only 400 people can climb this mountain so it needs to be booked in advanced and the price is $ 15. It is recommended to climb Huayna Picchu in the 10-11am time slot as otherwise you miss your guided tour. Contact the company at least one month in advance if you choose to hike this trail.
EXTRA NIGHT: If you want to stay longer at Machu Picchu then you can book an extra night at Aguas Calientes village. Just let us know that you plan to stay an extra night so we organize your return train for the next day. You can either organize your accommodation by yourself or we can assist with making bookings. If you were thinking of going back to Machu Picchu the next day then you will have to buy a new entrance fee to Machu Picchu and the bus tickets around $70.

Chelan County PUD
News Release
With revenue forecasts dropping still further, Chelan County PUD supervisors and managers went back to their 2009 budgets last week and came up with about $7.3 million worth of utility work that will be delayed or canceled this year.
The amount brings total reductions in the 2009 budget since contingency steps were first announced to just over $26 million. Chief Finance Officer/Chief Risk Officer John Janney presented the update to the Board of Commissioners Monday afternoon along with Joe Jarvis, executive manager of Operations.
The board announced a proposed date for another public meeting to report to the community at 5:30 p.m. on March 16, with a location to be determined. General Manager Rich Riazzi will explain the latest financial outlook and answer questions from customer-owners. These evening meetings are intended to keep the community informed about the PUD's changing financial outlook and the possibility of an electric bill surcharge. No decision on a surcharge has been made.
Among the cutbacks announced by Janney Monday are less tree-trimming this year, reduced educational programs at Rocky Reach Dam Visitor Center, scaled back pole-testing, bare-bones trail maintenance in parks, reduced overtime, return of underused vehicles to the central fleet so they can be used elsewhere and limiting office moves and/or reconfigurations. Vital steps to meet requirements for protecting critical infrastructure will still be taken, as will scheduled overhaul of vital equipment and much of the work to meet relicensing requirements.
Any further cuts this year would likely affect reliability of PUD systems, said Jarvis. Janney explained that General Manager Rich Riazzi called all PUD supervisors and managers together the afternoon of Feb. 20 to ask them to look closely at their budgets for more cuts, and that they responded with $7 million in suggestions that could be tolerated this year but probably not over the long term. Employees continue to make further suggestions that will be looked at by managers.
After hearing the report from Janney and Jarvis, board members Norm Gutzwiler and Ann Congdon suggested commissioners take a look at their own budget to see if cuts can be made. The board has an all-day retreat scheduled March 13 at the North Central Regional Library Headquarters to discuss strategic planning, and the budget may be discussed then.
In other action, commissioners:
The next regular meeting of the PUD Commission is at 11 a.m. on Monday, March 9, in the boardroom at PUD Headquarters, 327 N. Wenatchee Ave.
Most PUD commission meetings are recorded, and a link to the audio is available on the PUD's home page at www.chelanpud.org.

Those of you interested in the subject of Bond girls, sexual politics and the Bond franchise might find

interesting. (Fair warning - there are Skyfall spoilers within.) If you can ignore some of the bad grammar and mistakes, it's worth a read.
A better thought out article than the other one earlier in the thread, but still, some issues:
-Its claim that Monneypenny is "mocked for her one mistake." As I remember, it's mostly Bond who keeps bringning it up, and even then it seems mostly to be good-natured ribbing. And besides, considering she did shoot him and he was declared legally dead as a result, can one really expect Bond to just shrug it off as "stuff happens."?
-I was under the impression that Monneypenny was temporarily re-assigned to administrative duties while a review was conducted in the wake of what was essentially a failed mission. She discovered a liking for administrative duties and therefore stuck to that instead. There is nothing sexist here. It's quite common in many Bond films for Bond himself to be suspended of his duties following a failure, although he usually goes ahead and acts on his own anyway. And there is nothing sexist about choosing work you prefer doing.
-As mentioned previously, Judi Dench wanted this to be her last Bond movie, so what if her replacement is a male?
-Yes, M was raked over the coals for her mistakes in this movie, but that's what happens to people in authority when they screw up. And I feel I should point out that the one who was most accusatory of her during the enquiry was another female.

But there's no denying the schedule is softening up a bit for the Seminoles, who are 13-6 overall and 4-3 in the ACC. ...
