So join Lucy and Saul as they continue their professional gardening lives in the pure heaven that is Spring!What a wonderful start to Spring as March has proved to be just the tonic to the grey months of Winter - the sunny and reasonably dry days punctured by chilly, but refreshing nights, are exactly what the budding gardener wants to continue as the spring garden comes to life.

Finally, Garrett discusses the use of buoyant flies for sea-run cutthroat trout and offers tips on promoting the podcast episode.   Takeaways   Garrett Lesko is a well-rounded fly tier specializing in deer hair. Still water fishing in Oregon offers abundant opportunities, especially for sea run cutthroat. Sea run cutthroat are anadromous fish that run short distances and stay close to their estuary. The sea run cutthroat fishery in Oregon has declined due to changes in stocking programs and lack of attention compared to other fish species. Rain is crucial for sea run cutthroat fishing as it cools the water and triggers their migration. Sea run cutthroat can be caught using flashy and bright flies that provoke their aggressive response. Oregon offers diverse fishing opportunities, from fishing the ocean to rainforests and deserts. Sea run cutthroat fishing in Oregon is unique and offers a chance to experience the natural beauty of the state. Understanding the habitat and behavior of sea run cutthroat is crucial for successful fishing. Weather conditions, such as rain and overcast skies, are ideal for sea run cutthroat fishing. Synthetic materials are becoming more popular in fly tying due to the difficulty of sourcing high-quality natural materials. Sea-run cutthroat trout are an early morning fishery and are typically targeted using a float tube in deep, slow-moving water. A 5-weight rod with a medium-fast action is recommended for targeting sea-run cutthroat trout. Using an intermediate line with a sinking leader is effective for getting flies to the right depth. Buoyant flies, such as those with deer hair wings, can be effective for enticing sea-run cutthroat trout.

This week on The Business of Open Source, I have an episode recorded on site at KubeCon EU in Paris with William Morgan, CEO of Buoyant. We had a fabulous conversation, which touched on some touchy subjects, including Buoyant's slightly changing relationship with Linkerd. But we talked about:Being an open source mercenary, but also being dedicated to making Linkerd a ‘proper' open source projectFeeling like open source was table stakes for a company in the space Buoyant plays in. This is an under-appreciated reason for being an open source company — you feel like it's just expected in the market you play in, so you do. Waiting too long (or is it too long?) to commercializeStarting out by selling support, but the problem with that because Linkerd worked well and people kept saying that they didn't need support because they never had problemsCompeting against Istio, which was backed by the Google engine and how that made Linkerd / Buoyant an underdog (or cockroach). For those of you who haven't been following Linkerd / Buoyant… Buoyant recently announced that they would be doing edge releases for Linkerd, but not stable releases. We talked about why they made this change and how the ecosystem responded. Check out the full episode!

It is a perfect night to snuggle down and listen to JM Synge's turn of the 20th century accounts of his travels to the Aran Islands in a small currach on stormy seas. Journal entry:14th February, Wednesday (St. Valentine's Day)“Outside, No coat, On the hill that runs down to the cut.Warm sun, fleeting, Cloud chasing with the gulls And the circle of two buzzards.Maggie sits, watching, From a throne of dried grass And teasels.I too watch, As the seconds pause. I had never realised that the cormorant's Buoyant flight Was quite like that.”Episode Information:In this episode I read passages from JM Synge's (1907) book The Aran Islands republished by Penguin Classics (1992).For more information go to the episode page at noswpod.com With special thanks to our lock-wheelersfor supporting this podcast.Chris and Alan on NB Land of Green Ginger Captain Arlo Rebecca Russell Allison on the narrowboat Mukka Derek and Pauline Watts Anna V.

For the first time in the history of Irritable Dad Syndrome, our broadcaster Dave Lay is with us in the studio! While Mike was having a blast in Vegas and Darin was enjoying himself in New York, Dave Lay found himself knee-deep in cranberries in the lively state of Rhode Island.Intriguing, isn't it? The IDS trio also talks about a hotel without soap and a woman who mistook Darin for a car thief at Kroger.This episode quickly becomes chaotic. However, you won't want to miss it as there's a wealth of interesting facts about cranberries.Regular listeners will be familiar with those moments when Irritable Dad Syndrome veers wildly off the tracks of sanity into a new dimension of foolish entertainment. It's in these moments that Mike, Darin, and now Dave, have the most fun. We hope you'll enjoy listening to this delightful mess as much as we enjoy creating it.#inthesemoments #inthestudio #interestingfact #RHODEISLAND #CRANBERRIES #KROGER #FLINTSTONES #EDOLIVERWarm Solitude music courtesy of Arthur VynckeSupport the show

Welcome back to Talking Automotive with Mark and John. In this episode, we're analysing how immigration trends are impacting Australia's automotive market. With vehicle supply chains recovering and production ramping back up, we would normally expect to see an oversupply of new vehicles leading to aggressive price discounting by dealers and a drop in used car prices. However, Australia's population has grown by nearly one million people over the last year due to increased immigration. This surge in population has boosted automotive demand and soaked up any excess supply. As a result, new and used vehicle prices have remained strong and stable. As we've discussed in previous episodes, the automotive industry is highly complex with many interdependent factors. Understanding the latest economic and market influences is key to making informed predictions about the automotive space.

What if you could step outside your life for a moment, tap into hidden sources of inspiration, and completely reimagine your life's possibilities? It turns out, you can.  In today's episode of The Business of You, we're hosting creativity coach Susie deVille to teach us how to do exactly that. Susie is a longtime brandiD client, and this is her second time on the podcast  – because our listeners requested that we invite her back for more! Susie is the founder and CEO of the Innovation & Creativity Institute. An author, coach, and business owner who built and sold a highly profitable real estate firm, she has been researching innovation and creativity since 2005. Her first book, Buoyant: The Entrepreneurs Guide to Becoming Wildly Successful, Creative, and Free, has been called The Artist's Way for entrepreneurs. Susie teaches us how to be more creative, not just for fun, but in how we approach every aspect of our lives, from relationships to work.  Are you ready to bet on yourself? When the recession of 2008 hit, Susie lost it all. She calls it her “nuclear winter period,” a time of deep loss and seemingly endless change. But even when times were dark, Susie could bet on one thing: Herself. Despite a business and marriage in shambles, Susie knew she had what it takes to get through difficult times. Instead of succumbing to despair, she renovated a building and started a real estate business.  On the outside looking in, it made no sense. Her friends and family questioned her sanity when she went into real estate during a housing crash, effectively placing her life savings in the hands of an uncertain economic market. But everything paid off when she succeeded. Her business took off, and everything came into alignment for her.  Innovative thinking requires practice. When asked why she can weather such extreme periods of change without a hitch, Susie's answer might surprise you…she practices being uncertain, all the time.  Before the recession hit, Susie was no stranger to taking calculated risks. She practices creative and innovative thinking every single day using the methods she lays out in her book: walking, meditating, making art, singing, and moving her body. By allowing her brain to become comfortable with uncertainty and creativity, she effectively trains herself to become a more innovative thinker. In her own words, “There is a physiological thing that happens in our brain when we are creating something.” You can do this too. If you find yourself becoming more inflexible and doubting your abilities, it's time to read her book – and become more creative yourself! It's time to design your life… Your life is not meant to be lived in a cubicle, doing the same things every single day, with no room for creativity. You are so much more than that, whether you know it or not.  You create possibilities you would never have discovered by training your brain to think creatively. In her book and her coaching programs, she teaches her clients how to tap into this part of themselves.  The first thing she asks them to do is design their ideal day. What is your ideal day, and what would you be doing if nothing was holding you back? The answers might surprise you and might be closer than you think. Despite the limitations we assume are there – money, time, and connections – allowing ourselves to dream creates space for our brain to do the work for us, identifying resources to get us closer to what we really want. That is the power of the buoyant way and Susie deVille's incredible teaching. Tune in to this episode and prepare to discover what you're really capable of! Quotes “It's about designing and mapping out the life we want to have…and then having the courage to live it.” “I was faced with quite a dilemma because everything in my life imploded at that point - my finances, my marriage, everything. I needed a plan to get out of this. By the end of 2010, I did it! I launched my own company and renovated a building for my office. People thought I was insane, during a recession.” “I bet everything on myself. In three years, I was financially free. Because I was forced to make this huge leap and not just stick my toe into uncertainty but dive into the deep end, I was going to find a way!” “I have a practice that I do every single day - meditating, walking, and creating art. I fill the well of my self-trust that is required to move with agility and speed in uncertain times.” “Stay in your existing job and start stocking your escape capsule with money, supplies, resources, teams of people and connections to be successful. Do this first. Then you'll be in a position of not being panicky about your resources. You'll be able to build in a very thoughtful intentional way, and leverage your resources to make bigger and bigger deals.” “Write down your ideal day, in detail. Don't censor yourself, or limit yourself. Then look at it for things that are surprising to you. Suddenly, the things that you typically think will be important to you, don't seem as important. It might surprise you how little it requires.” “It's important to remember things you used to do and enjoy, that you stopped doing when you got busy. Make a list of those things.” “Don't wait until you have five million in the bank. Beginning gives momentum. Starting opens you up to new possibilities, new people, new resources and ideas - and it's all a lot closer to you than you might think.” “There is a physiological thing that happens in our brain when we are creating something.” Work With Susie: If you would like to work with Susie, check out her latest workshop details below.
