Good morning again lovelies! Alright I know it's Winter but I recently realized I forgot to post this amazing Fall collection. I suppose it's ok because these are very non-traditional Fall shades and they totally work for several seasons. There are a few colors that will be perfect for Winter manis and the whole set could easily bring you into the Spring! So Maybe it was a good think I waited to share it with you. Any who, I got a sneak peek at this collection way back when at the CosmoProf convention in the summer. I was totally smitten! I loved the colors, the concept, all of it. I felt like I was looking at a washed out water painting yet the colors were still vibrant. La Vie Boheme is available now on the Jessica Cosmetics website and each shade is $8.40. These are gorgeous both in color and formula...if you want some shades that are trans-seasonal then these are definitely need to come home with you.

Boho Babe is a peachy pastel creme. I adore this one! It slightly reminds me of those sun bleached pastels that were all the rage last summer. The formula was a little streaky but it evened out in 3 coats. No topcoat used.
Haute Hippie is another one of my favorites in the collection. This deep mauve is a perfect middle of the road shade - not too dark, not too light, not too pink, not too brown. The formula was amazing, creamy, opaque and full coverage in 1 coat! No topcoat needed.
Here we have Boho Chic, a fabulous green that reminds me of creamy split pea soup. And that's a good thing because I actually like the soup. But do you see what I mean - this collection is full of such unexpected colors but they totally work. The formula and application were both great. I used 2 coats of Boho Chic and no topcoat.
Faux Fur Blue is a pretty turquoise creme. It's fairly bright compared to other turquoise shades I've worn, but that's what really draws me to it. Faux Fur Blue had a fantastic formula that was completely opaque in 1 coat. Application was a breeze. No topcoat needed.
And rounding out the collection is Bohemian Rhapsody. This one was slightly different than the others formula wise, more crelly-like. The deep denim blue shade is beautiful! Formula and application were wonderful. I only needed 2 coats for full coverage and no topcoat used.

DAVID MOYES has warned Everton not to underestimate Wrexham as the Blues aim to bury their Worthington Cup hoodoo tonight.
Lower league opposition Bristol Rovers, Oxford United, York City, Millwall and Crystal Palace have all claimed Everton's scalp in recent years in a competition they have never won.
But Moyes is confident his class of 2002 can side-step Denis Smith's high-flying Division Three side at the Racecourse Ground - and keep open this route into Europe.
Moyes said: "I'm not going to dwell on Everton's record in this competition. I'll just assure you that I take absolutely every game at this club seriously.
"We have a big squad here and I consider each one of them to be first-team players."
Everton have fallen at the first hurdle in each of the last three years, most recently being beaten 5-4 on penalties after drawing 1-1 with Crystal Palace 12 months ago.
And Moyes is aware Wrexham present a real threat, with hot-shot Andy Morrell leading the national goalscoring charts. He has scored 13 goals for the North Wales club in a prolific start to the season.
"Wrexham have done well recently. We've had them watched a couple of times and they are unbeaten in the last six," said Moyes.
Morrell, a late starter in professional football after being signed from Newcastle Blue Star by former Wrexham boss Brian Flynn, has also impressed Blues' assistant manager Alan Irvine.
He said: "He was a handful against Exeter when I watched him and has been a handful for other teams to cope with.
"He's not a big lad but he has a good spring and times his jump well.
"This game is very important for us. Ask any team who have won the Cup whether they are happy or not, and they'll tell you that they're delighted."
Everton expect to name the same squad from the one that beat Fulham on Saturday, although Mark Pembridge missed training yesterday with an eye infection.
Boss Moyes will still be without injured trio Steve Watson, Alessandro Pistone and Juliano Rodrigo but will stick with in-form frontman Kevin Campbell.
The 32-year-old scored his fifth goal of the campaign in the 2-0 win over Fulham and has played the full 90 minutes of every match this season.
But Moyes will resist resting Campbell tonight. He said: "There could be a temptation to give him a break but on the other hand he will want to keep going right now with the goals going in for him."
Everton youngster Wayne Rooney is also in contention to start as he seeks his first senior goal.

Okay…I was lulled into a false sense of security on Showtime's Homeland…as if the ongoing terrorist threat was lessened to such a degree that it no longer mattered. Brody (Damian Lewis) and Carrie (Claire Daines) together, that's what mattered. And then…POW! There it was the explosion the carnage and chaos. And only Saul (Mandy Patinkin) and Carrie are left to investigate…oh and the highly watchable Quinn (Rupert Friend) !!! I don't believe that Brody is responsible for the bomb but is being set up by Nazir's "people" to be the scapegoat, and a very believable one at that. A third season is already ordered so Carrie will work to clear Brody's name…with Saul, I guess. But if the show had ended, I would have been satisfied with Carrie and Brody walking off in the sunset. But since that isn't the way it's going to be…YET, I can see future storylines examining who the hell is Saul…REALLY! Could there be any sparks between Quinn and Carrie…hey, I'm just thinking. He respects her CIA abilities and I think he likes and trusts her, too, And what will Brody be doing in Canada, investigating on his own?

When I was writing The Sea Garden I took pleasure in creating an imaginary garden above the sea on the French island of Porquerolles. The setting is among rocks and Mediterranean pines and scrub, where paths wind down to the sea - or end in precipitous cliffs, or calanques.
The grounds surround an old estate house, grand but decaying, with a honey stucco facade and a pillared terrace at the rear which overlooks the gardens.
The garden needs restoration: old pictures show cypress walks and formal garden rooms but in the present they are overgrown and gloomy. The art of the designer will be to recapture the mood of the original while bringing back light and health to the planting.
Key to one part of the garden is a topiary arch that looks out over the sea, holding a clue to its meaning in the view it frames.
An old bassin, a raised pond edged with stone, lies before the arch. It has been neglected and so tall are the yew hedges all around that the water it holds is a glassy black, not nearly as inviting as this one...
..more like this in atmosphere...
I'd like a tunnel of purple wisteria, too...
..and some datura - or devil's trumpet - that dangerous exotic with poison lurking under its intoxicating night fragrance and its hallucinogenic properties.
The garden will have dark corners and surprises - so that when you emerge from the garden it feels like a release into the lightness and colour of the island.

Tossing Words Around ~ "Success" & "Failure" in Iraq
"I said in September that I cannot guarantee success in Iraq.
That is still the case, although I think we are now closer. I
remain convinced that a major departure from our current
engagement would bring failure, and we have to be clear with
ourselves about what failure would mean."
~ Ambassador Ryan Crocker
"The emergence of Iraqi volunteers to help secure their local
communities has been an important development. As this chart
depicts, there are now over 91,000 Sons of Iraq, Shia as well as
Sunni, under contract to help coalition and Iraqi forces protect
their neighborhoods and secure infrastructure and roads.
These volunteers have contributed significantly in various
areas, and the savings and vehicles not lost because of reduced
violence, not to mention the priceless lives saved have far
outweighed the costs of their monthly contracts.
Sons of Iraq have also have contributed to the discovery ofGiven the importance of the Sons of Iraq, we're working
improvised explosive devices and weapons and explosive
caches. As this next chart shows, in fact we have already
found more caches in 2008 than we found in all of 2006.
closely with the Iraqi government to transition them into
the Iraqi security forces or other forms of employment. And
over 21,000 have already been accepted into the police or
army or other government jobs." ~ General Petraeus
"After weighing these factors, I recommended to my chain
of command that we continue the drawdown in the surge to
the combat forces and that upon the withdrawal of the last
surge brigade combat team in July, we undertake a 45-day
period of consolidation and evaluation. At the end of that
period, we will commence a process of assessment to
examine the conditions on the ground and over time
determine when we can make recommendations for further
reductions. This process will be continuous, with
recommendations for further reductions made as
conditions permit.
This approach does not allow establishment of a set
withdrawal timetable, however it does provide the
flexibility those of us on the ground need to preserve
the still-fragile security gains our troopers have fought
so far and sacrifice so much to achieve."
~ General Petraeus
" . . . [W]hile the job of bringing security to Iraq is not finished,
as the recent fighting in Basra and elsewhere vividly
demonstrated, we're no longer staring into the abyss of defeat
and we can now look ahead to the genuine prospect of success.
Success, the establishment of a peaceful, stable, prosperous,
democratic state that poses no threats to its neighbors and
contributes to the defeat of terrorists, this success is within
reach. And with success, Iraqi forces can take responsibility
for enforcing security in their countries, and American
troops can return home with the honor of having secured
their country's interests at great personal costs and of helping
another people achieve peace and self-determination. That's
what I hope every American desires for our country in our
mission in Iraq. Yet should the United States instead choose
to withdraw from Iraq before adequate security is established,
we will exchange for this victory a defeat that is terrible and
long-lasting. Al Qaeda in Iraq would proclaim victory
and increase its efforts to provoke sectarian tensions, pushing
for a full-scale civil war that could descend into genocide and
destabilize the Middle East. Iraq would become a failed state.
It could become a haven for terrorists to train and plan their
operations. Iranian influence would increase substantially in
Iraq and encourage other countries to seek accommodation
with Tehran at the expense of our interests.
An American failure would almost certainly require us to
return to Iraq or draw us into a wider and far, far costlier war.
If, on the other hand, we and the Iraqis are able to build on the
opportunity provided by recent successes, we have the chance
to leave in Iraq a force for stability and freedom, not conflict
and chaos. In doing so, we will . . .
[ Disruption by protesters ]
. . . If, on the other hand, we and the Iraqis are able to build
on the opportunity provided by recent successes, we have the
chance to leave in Iraq a force for stability and freedom, not
conflict and chaos. In doing so, we will ensure that the terrible
price we have paid in the war, a price that has made all of us
sick at heart, has not been paid in vain. Our troops can leave
behind a successful mission, and our nation can leave behind
a country that contributes to the security of America and
the world." ~ Candidate McCain
McCain is hallucinating if he thinks we will come anywhere close to his definition of "success" ( in italics) and, of course, his definition of failure looks an awful lot like what we already have created (e.g., al Sadr already is taking marching orders from the Iranians who apparently have greater influence in Iraq than does the U.S. ...). Al of that said, McCain, unlike the various bullshitters and liars in the Bush administration, has at least spelled out what "success" might actually look like!
We are, according to testimony today by Petraeus, spending $16 MILLION per MONTH paying the "Sons of Iraq" not to attack us. According to The New York Times: "The term refers to armed Iraqi civilians, most of them Sunni Arabs, manning checkpoints and doing security and other work for the American-led coalition or the official Iraqi security forces. They are something of a hybrid between militiamen and security contractors." The point? These people are not "volunteers" as Petraeus claims.
The "recommendation" Petraeus has made is littered with euphemisms and intentional vagueness. It is a wonderful example of the uses of ambiguity to avoid making any commitment. The bottom line? This is his bid for a wholly open-ended commitment of U.S. troops to Iraq.

text: Shah Alam (Malaysia) Leading Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal lost her sixth consecutive match against Chinese Taipei's Tai Tzu Ying to be knocked out of the Malaysia Open Superseries Premier semi-finals here on Saturday. Tai, 21, defeated 26-year-old Saina 21-19, 21-13 in 34 minutes to set up a final date against Thai fourth seed Ratchanok Intanon at the Malawati Stadium. This was 2012 Olympic bronze medallist Saina's ninth loss in 13 meetings against her younger nemesis. The Hyderabadi had defeated Tai last time in March 2013. Up against an wily opponent, a good start would have helped Saina. But it didn't turn out to be the way the 2015 World Championship silver medallist had expected. Saina trailed 0-7 and that difference remained throughout the first game. Even though she fought back, Tai rode on that sparkling start to get to a 20-14 lead when the Indian showed her experience in gaining five consecutive points. Nevertheless, only one point in favour of Tai would have given her the 1-0 lead and it did following a drop shot. In the second game, Saina matched shot by shot against Tai but the Chinese Taipei's shuttler held a 14-10 advantage that proved crucial as she pocketed the game 21-13 and with it, a place in the final. With Saina's defeat, India's campaign in the tournament ended. This was world No.8 Indian's third successive loss in the final four stages after the Swiss Open Grand Prix Gold and India Superseries. In the other semi-final, former world champion Ratchanok knocked out Chinese sixth seed and 2012 Olympic silver medallist Yihan Wang 21-11, 21-19 to continue her fine run. In the final, world No.9 Tai will aim to repeat her 2013 heroics, while 21-year-old Ratchanok will aim to bag her first Malaysian Open title. Tai, even though trails 5-7 against current Asian champion Ratchanok in head-to-head record, she will put up a great fight and it will be a great contest against two of the very best exponents of drop shots.

At this beach i found something odd though: Lying in the sand there was a strange heart-shaped object which i've never seen before. I was, to be brutally honest, a bit baffled by this. Because this wasn't a lifebelt (or at least not a normal one for a normal passenger...)
Why heartshaped? Why all these strange spikes and fittings around it?
My stepmother provided the anwer: This is a funeral wreath from a sea burial. The spikes are remains of the flowers, the iron fittings held them together.

Will you remember where you were when… you started using a next-generation Location Based Service (LBS) that transformed the way you conduct your life? Why haven't we all already experienced this event?
Of Epochs:
Simultaneous to our two-phase Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 journey across the 90s to today, the bursty, iterative growth in cellular networks and devices across various generations and competing wireless technologies has been going on worldwide. This has seen an exceptionally complicated environment of carriers, network vendors, and mobile device vendors all interplaying against government telecommunications policy backdrops. Upon this landscape, mobile developers have been strewn. Each developer appears to have been struggling haltingly in the face of numerous issues and challenges centered around service control, network openness, and carrier-developer engagement, but all sharing the common objective of getting their services and applications into the hands of the end-user. In this era, the carriers have remained in control and the rules have remained the same. Signs are, however, that this era of Mobile 1.0 is about to end.
Of Industry Tectonics:
The rise and rebirth of the web and the evolution of mobility has brought us to the current peak period of innovation and disruption. This is a period in which the tectonic plates of the three formerly separate trillion dollar plus industries of IT, Telecommunications and Media grate together, subducting, melding, and lifting one another in unpredictable ways. Massive incumbents have been forced to look anew at the markets they formerly dominated and ask themselves what they can and need to do to change.
One of the better illustrations of the "Extreme Makeover: ICT & Media Company edition" changes underway is Apple. Apple has shown that it is possible to redefine a Tier-1 so as to enter into previously uncoupled adjacent markets (firstly via consumer electronics [iPod away…] and most recently with its foray into the telecommunications arena [enter the iPhone stage left…]). It is exactly this type of business model redefinition, cross-border competition, and resulting industry flux that is giving rise to profound new risks and opportunities for everyone in the space.
Web 1.0 + Web 2.0 + Mobile 1.0 = LBS X: Solve this equation.
I suspect we are at another transition point. Various tier-1 CXOs have it right: the growth of a second web, a web of geospatial content – the Geoweb – is well underway. This Geoweb will primarily be characterized by mobile Web access.
The tier-1 Web players – including Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, and AOL! – get it. The device venders get it. The social networks are getting it. The media conglomerates…? maybe. The carriers? "Not so much…" is the pervadingly skeptical industry response – though even this appears tantalizingly close to change. In any case, a host of innovative LBS startups are running around frantically because they, in their roles as the oft-unheeded heralds of change, definitely get it.
Somewhere across the next 1 or 2 years, people may well experience something akin to seeing their first web browser, getting their first mobile phone, or joining their first social network. Chances are, that this next revolution will be centered on Location Based Services: those services derived from knowing a users location or proximity to others users, and to vendor products and services. Such services look set to facilitate the extension of the social networks; boost the volume and value of user generated content; act as the mature realization and binding of multiple Web 2.0 threads that have been tethering out across the last few years; and form the basis of the next generation of search, advertising/marketing, and m-commerce services.
We have mature Tier-1 web datasets, new geospatial datasets primed for mushrooming expansion, and we have the swollen social graph datasets of user information in the incumbent social networks, all of which are becoming increasingly accessible via open APIs to 3rd party developers and which are crying out to be leveraged by any entrepreneur in their right mind on countless 3rd party websites and in a host mobile applications. We also have the iPhone OS, Google Android, and other mobile platforms poised to shift the telecommuncations landscape and extend the web out of the house and business and into the mobile hands of consumers and employees. Therefore, the time must be ripe for LBS – surely?
If the time is ripe, ensuring the era of LBS has truly arrived is going to involve a few more winds of change. What are they? What are the windbreaks? What will it take for this green, golden, map-pin bristling windfall of applications to be manifest in commercially hardened ubiquitous market saturation?
These are the questions The Focus on Locus: A Symposium on Location Based Services at Columbia University asks this Friday, July 11th. Against all the heat and anticipation, this is a market tempered by constraints and challenges that has seen relatively few consumers to date with access to these services in practice beyond their computer-residing browsers.
Track ahead ten years and the majority of consumers worldwide may look at their "devices formerly known as the mobile phone" as an extension of their awareness centered on location – as if they possess a 6th sense empowered by their mobile device. A device yielding an acute awareness of their spatial position in the world and in turn unlocking a vast and continually amplified treasure trove of context-relevant content and information. It is location that will faciliatate the construction, and on-demand easy delivery, of a vast aggregate multimedia and service space consisting of the accumulated experiences and opinion of every user who has ever been to a location before, ever eaten at a given restaurant and had rough service from a given waiter. As a result, and as per the era before the Internet, and before the mobile phone, many people will wonder how they ever got by beforehand.
At 8am on Friday, July 11th, the LBS conference attendees will start arriving, simultaneous to this exact moment, the iPhone 3G with built-in GPS will go on sale from Apple… How weird is that?!

Brownie is the name of a long-running and extremely popular series of simple and inexpensive cameras made by Eastman Kodak. The Brownie popularized low-cost photography and introduced the concept of the snapshot. The first Brownie, introduced in February, 1900, was a very basic cardboard box camera with a simple meniscus lens that took 2Ľ-inch square pictures on 117 rollfilm. With its simple controls and initial price of $1, it was intended to be a camera that anyone could afford and use, leading to the popular slogan, "You push the button, we do the rest." The camera was named after the popular cartoons created by Palmer Cox.
One of the most popular Brownie models was the Brownie 127, millions of which were sold between 1952 and 1967. The Brownie 127 was a simple bakelite camera for 127 film which featured a simple meniscus lens and a curved film plane to reduce the impact of deficiencies in the lens.
Having written an article in the 1940s for amateur photographers suggesting an expensive camera was unnecessary for quality photography, the famous Picture Post photographer Bert Hardy used a Brownie camera to stage a carefully posed snapshot of two young women sitting on railings above a breezy Blackpool promenade.
In 1908, the Austrian architectural critic Joseph August Lux wrote a book called Künstlerische Kodakgeheimnisse (Artistic Secrets of the Kodak) in which he championed the use of the camera for its cultural potential. Guided by a position that was influenced by the Catholic critique of modernity, he argued that the accessibility the camera provided for the amateur meant that people could photograph and document their surroundings and thus produce a type of stability in the ebb and flow of the modern world
They differed very little from the ever-popular Brownie cameras; the only real difference being the introduction of the new "Doublet Lens", allowing the same picture to be projected on a film plate over a shorter distance, that making the Beau Brownies nearly 2" shorter than their conventional counterparts was.
Visually, they differed with the arrival of new enameled two-tone front plates in a heavily geometric and contemporary Art Deco design, the work of leading American Deco designer, Walter Dorwin Teague.
They were available in five color combinations: Black and Burgundy, Brown and Tan, Two-tone Blue, Two-tone Green, and Two-tone Rose. The Rose and Green cameras were produced only between 1930 and '31, and therefore rarer than the others. They also were encased in a desirable faux-leatherette casing.
They were available in No.2 and 2A formats, just like the Brownies. The No.2 measuring 2 Ľ" by 3 Ľ" and using 120 roll film, and the 2A measuring 2Ľ" by 4Ľ", and taking 116 roll film.
They are visually distinguishable by the thicker, bakelite rim on the No. 2As, and the fact that it is an inch taller than the No. 2.
They originally cost $4 for a No. 2, and $5 for a No. 2A.

There was the idea, that writing about all the stuff that goes on in my small science world could be an interesting project and that it might help me as a non-native English speaker/writer to improve my writing skills.
But before I opened up this first page of my fresh blog, I did some research and was amazed and delighted how many interesting blogs there already are. So I read for a few weeks what others have to say about their life at uni, their careers, their ways of work-life balance (and the discussions about the existence of it) and all the stories coming along with that.
Then I searched for a good name for my project and again was amazed how many people had the same ideas - unfortunately often already years before me.
Now "Whooshing sound" is based on something Douglas Adams once supposedly said: "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by."
And as the Grant writing season just started again in Australia, I'd say this a terrific name.

DUNEDIN — A multimillion dollar plan to raze the historic Fenway Hotel and rebuild it in the same architectural style is back on track after a delay in the property sale killed the project last year.
Pennsylvania developer Christy Bower recently submitted new plans for the waterfront lodge on Edgewater Drive that show a hotel virtually identical to the rundown 1920s Mediterranean-style structure currently on the property. The remade Fenway would evoke the same luxury style that first made it a popular winter getaway in the early 20th Century, only with updates to satisfy modern vacationers. For example, the outmoded shared washroom arrangement would be scrapped for individual bathrooms.
Its lobby and 85 guest rooms also would be elevated above a ground-floor parking garage, protecting it against potential flood waters from St. Joseph Sound across the street.
Several rows of new town homes would go behind the hotel, but its front fa�ade captures all the design elements of its predecessor, up to the twin turrets at its crown.
"Is it the real thing? Well, it's there in look and feel. When you walk into that new hotel, you're going to feel as though you were back to the Fenway," said Vinnie Luisi, who heads up the Dunedin Historical Society and Museum.
After several failed attempts at renovation, city officials and local preservationists both concluded that saving the current building wouldn't be profitable for a developer.
The recession, combined with the enormous expense of retrofitting and replacing plumbing, electricity, windows, even room configurations, contributed to the property's most recent owner, George Rahdert, going into foreclosure.
If it couldn't be saved in a profitable way, the city commission opted to allow it to be demolished, so long as the developer committed to replacing it with a new building that maintains its historic architecture.
That's precisely what Christy Bower and her father, James Bower, aimed to do after discovering the property during a visit to Dunedin.
But when PNC Bank failed to respond to their purchase offer last fall, the Bowers said they would have to back out. The bank recently accepted the offer and the Bowers now have the property under contract, city officials said.
"They were able to come up with a new offer and re-establish negotiations with the bank," city economic development director Bob Ironsmith said.
Christy Bower did not respond to a request for an interview.
Next month, the project will be reviewed in a series of meetings with the surrounding neighbors and the city planning agency. The site plan and development agreement ultimately will go before the city commission for a vote.
City leaders already have spoken in favor of the new Fenway, with commissioners voting late last year to modify land use rules that would allow the Bowers to tear it down and rebuild it.
A specific construction timeline isn't clear yet, though Ironsmith estimated demolition could begin this fall.
With hotel occupancy rates higher than 70 percent and tourism high across Pinellas County, Ironsmith says there is demand for new accommodations, especially an independent hotel located close to the collection of local shops and restaurants in the historic downtown.
In addition to being built up to a higher safety code, the new hotel will also feature a caf� and a swimming pool.
"We think it will support the merchants really well, the whole city," Ironsmith said.
This wouldn't be the first time the hotel has been resurrected.
Within a decade of the construction of the Fenway, named for its proximity to what was then dubbed "Fenway Bay," the lodge had to be shuttered for many years following the Great Depression, Luisi said.
After reopening, it continued as a hotel into the 1960s before being repurposed as a college campus.
Luisi is hopeful the newly built Fenway will bring the property back to its origins.
"Sometimes you have to lose something, but you get it back in another way," Luisi said.
"At least we're going to have a beautiful hotel that's going to repeat the history of the Fenway Hotel in the future."

A lot is written about how to catch major target fish species, and for good reason. We all want to catch more and better fish. Catching these larger fish often requires the use of live bait. While rigging these baits is often described, catching, keeping and transporting of the bait is an art that is often ignored. Let's have a look at three popular live baits – mullet, salmon and gudgeon – and some techniques for gathering them and maintaining them in tip top condition.
Mullet are probably the number one live fish bait for mulloway. Small (but legal-sized) salmon are OK, but tend to be a little bit too active and frisky. These small salmon however are prime live bait for kingfish, because of their ability to keep swimming strongly for long periods of time. On the freshwater scene, particularly in the southwest of the state, big trout really love a live gudgeon.
Schools of small bait-sized mullet often reside in the shallow sandy areas towards the mouth of estuary systems. The best method of securing these mullet is to use a paternoster rig with two tiny hooks (size 10-14). The best bait to put on these hooks is a small section of any marine worm. As well as being the best bait, if you procure these worms by use of a bait pump, you will probably berley a school of mullet in close in the process.
Cast your offering beyond the school and retrieve it slowly, but with enough pace to hook any mullet attacking the soft bait. This steady retrieve seems to hook the fish better than trying to strike at bites.
Further up an estuary system, in deeper water, another technique works well. Often schools of mullet can be seen milling round on the surface. Looking for this 'nervous water' is far easier in calm conditions. A simple floating berley of bread can be thrown towards the fish to get them feeding actively. Once again, bait up small hooks as the fish are feeding on the surface – so that's where you want the bait to be.
Getting any casting distance with such a small hook and bait can be difficult. Using a simple cork float can help you get the casting weight required. When the fish bite, the cork acts more as a strike indictor and the sound of the cork float landing of the water also seems to attract the school. Marine worms are still the gun bait, but very small pieces of other baits seem to also work using this technique.
If you haven't got all your bait gathering tackle, casting a small unweighted section of Gulp Sandworm into the schools of mullet milling about on the surface can at times be effective.
Small poddy mullet can also be caught using a bait trap, as described for gudgeon.
Small salmon can be an annoying by-catch for anglers targeting more prestigious estuarine species: that is unless you happen to be going yellowtail fishing in the near future. I'm sure onlookers have wondered what in the world we are doing when a small salmon gets carefully netted and placed in the live well, whereas a nice bream gets lifted quickly on board and returned to the water.
It's nice when in a single session you can get your bream and perch sport, while at the same time stocking up the live bait supply. Usually though you'll need to specifically target small salmon. There are a couple of ways to do this.
Salmon love speed. A small metal slice lure, or even a small metal bream style vibe, cranked quickly through an area where you think they are will usually draw a response. If using a plastic, use a heavier jighead than normal so as accentuate the action of the lure as it rises and falls. If they are a little lure shy, bait works well even if it does reduce your mobility. Bring the fish to you with a berley trail of finely chopped up fish such as pilchards, whitebait or glassies. Then feed out an unweighted bait of the same fish into the trail – just like tuna cubing but on a small scale.
The most effective way to obtain gudgeon is by use of a bait trap. Bread is OK for attracting minnows, but often a little bit extra is needed to help lure in gudgeon. Chopped up pieces of baitfish such as pilchard, a dash of cat food or, for the lure angler, a spray of scent on the bread in the trap, all help lure in gudgeon. Leaving in a trap in the water for longer than you would leave it in for minnows is important, too. Gudgeon also appear to be more willing to enter the trap in low light periods.
Life is easy when you can catch a live bait and put it straight back over the side in the hope of then catching a big fish. In reality, this is rarely the case. Live baits can often be very scarce if big fish are around. One season a local reef area had a wonderful population of bait-sized pike in residence before the kings decided to show up. After that the livies were conspicuous by their absence whenever the kings were present.
Similarly, live mullet can be particularly hard to find when mulloway are around. The Glenelg River is a prime example of this, as livies there can be sometimes harder to catch than the mulloway. Fortunately most of the smaller systems on the way to the Glenelg hold good populations of readily accessible livies.
The end result is that, usually, livies need to be sourced from another location. This brings transportation and storage issues into play.
In-built live bait tanks in boats are a great assistance when collecting and storing live bait. They eliminate the need for taking extra buckets, aerators and all your livie storing paraphernalia with you because it's all built into the boat. It also reduces clutter round the boat – an important factor if you happen to be battling a big fish. You can simply catch your live bait at one location, block up the outflow pipes, add a cheap battery powered aerator and drive to your big fish location. With constant monitoring and pumping in some new water whenever the boat is on the water, livies can remain healthy for at least a day or two.
Even if you are storing bait at home in tanks, it is simply a matter of filling the boat's wells with water and then draining or siphoning that water into the tank. No more back-breaking lifting of buckets and tubs that have probably lost half their water in the journey home.
Of course, not everyone has a boat with a fully functioning and plumbed live well though. The insulating properties of Eskis make them a good option, but large eskies can be expensive and take up a lot of room in a boat.
Plastic tubs offer a greater variety of sizes for a smaller outlay and can be as effective as long as the water is regularly changed, particularly in warm weather. Placing a wet towel over the tub in hot weather, or even adding frozen blocks of water to the tub can keep the water temperature cooler on hot days. Obviously the frozen water needs to be saltwater for saltwater fish.
There are some collapsible bag set-ups available, but the word collapsible doesn't apply to many of these once they are full of water. Fully test out any such device before placing your hard-earned livies into them.
Aeration is vital if you intend to store your live baits for any extended period of time. There are a host of different battery powered aerators available that can easily fit all your air supply needs. They usually have clips that can allow them to be attached to either a live well or the side of your portable containers. Given the nature of their harsh life, constantly being splashed by salt water the mortality rate is high no matter how well you look after them. I tend to go for the cheaper end of the range and am happy if it gets me through a season.
The live well/tub aerator method works fine for short periods, say on holidays or if you're a long way from home. However, having permanent storage facilities for live baits at home can be a tremendous benefit. It allows you to have readily accessible live baits whenever the need arises. If the weather comes good or the fish are suddenly on, no time is wasted in procuring your livies.
Large old fish tanks make for great live bait storage. Four foot tanks would be a minimum size for keeping salmon and mullet. A small amount of gudgeon could be kept in smaller tanks. Good filtration is essential in keeping the baits healthy.
Mullet can be kept for some time. A 4ft tank will easily support 12-16 mullet of 10-20cm. They will respond to feeding but do lose a little condition after around two weeks. After that they don't swim as well as fresher ones do.
Salmon, on the other hand, last only a week at most. They usually won't feed, occasionally taking a live offering. When storing salmon don't get greedy: too many in tank will result in mortalities. Around 6-8 salmon of 21-28cm in a 4ft tank is enough for one session.
Gudgeon will feed, no problems. Cut earthworms are best, and can be kept for long periods of time. However, good water quality is essential and they are harder to keep than galaxias minnows. Also, being a demersal species, provide plenty of cover in the form of rocks and sticks to keep them happy.
Always check the local regulations that govern the gathering of bait (www.dpi.vic.gov.au). Key regulations include:
A total scale fish bag/possession limit of 40 fish applies to gudgeon and mullet. A bag/possession limit of 20 salmon/tommy rough applies.
There no minimum size for mullet or gudgeon, but salmon must be 21cm
Plastic or mesh bait traps must not have a funnel or entrance diameter exceeding 5cm. The trap must be within the confines of 23cm wide and 50cm long. A maximum of two bait traps per person can be used and they must be labelled.
Using livebaits can put you in contact with a better class of fish than traditional deadbaits.

Starting a new role is such an exciting time but so often brings with it a flood of self doubt and nervousness. It can hit people a few days before they start or as late as in the middle of the wee hours on their first day. That self talk kicks in and goes a little like this …. will they like me, will I be able to do the job, what if I can't meet their expectations.
Two of my clients started exciting new roles this week and experienced exactly this and for both of them the self talk and nervousness had come as a surprise. I expect this was partly because they had both been in their previous roles five plus years and hadn't been the new kid on the block for some time. It is always easy giving advice from the sideline but I couldn't hold back. I reminded them that their organisations could have chosen someone else but they had seen the talent and skill match and wanted them on their team. I got them to reflect on how they felt when they started their last job and reflect on what they had achieved within their first six months. Instantly the tensions started to disappear and I could hear the self belief come back in to their voices.
It was a great reminder to me that we all experience times of self doubt and the best tool we have at our finger tips is "positive self reflection" identifying and reminding ourselves what we have achieved before, how far we have come and the value we have added along the way.
Your challenge from me: is next time you find yourself experiencing that self doubt chatter find a quiet spot and do some self reflecting on the value you bring to your client and/or employer.

Vengeance is set somewhere in India, where disgraced nobleman Montague Love tries to carve out a new life for himself. After marrying an Indian girl and siring a son, the nobleman dies, but not before swearing vengeance against his own brother, the man responsible for his ruination. Upon reaching adulthood, the nobleman's son (also played by Montague Love) takes up his father's cudgel and returns to England, there to expose his uncle's treachery. The hero's "half-caste" status enables him to combine British cunning with Indian mysticism, though it may put a crimp in his romance with English aristocrat Barbara Castleton.

The Bernese entry for Windsor Championship Show 2016 has been announced as 64
exhibits giving 68 entries. The scheduled judge was breed specialist Helen Davenport-
Willis (Nellsbern) who withdrew from the appointment on 14th June due to injury and the
replacement judge has now been confirmed as breed specialist Gillian Sharman (Gillro).
For comparison the entry at Windsor 2015 was 95 entries with 29 absentees for breed
specialist judge Angela Haden (Cotshill).
THREE COUNTIES CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW 10th June 2016
Thank you for the lovely entry on my first occasion awarding CCs in the breed. Having done
my homework I was very much aware of the words of wisdom in the Standard.
My main observation of the breed on show today was that many were not "compact rather
than long" and mostly lacking "rump smoothly rounded" as well.
There were many very attractive heads with decent stops and tight eyes enhanced good
markings. Generally substance was very good with straight forelimbs and firm elbows
although a few were weak at pastern allowing feet to turn out when asked to stop naturally.
Ribcages were pretty good extending well back although toplines varied considerably. Not
too many exaggerated gay tails. Action generally sound, not always as parallel as they might
be but fortunately only a few displaying heavy, lumbering movement.
Overall I found the breed in a good state and hope breeders will endeavour to try to get back
to the desired overall shape which is so distinctive of this lovely breed.
