If you want to catch really huge catfish, then live, or cut bait is the way to go. But if you just want a mess of eating-sized channel cats, then you might want to try making your own bait. Commercial dough baits are available, but it’s more fun to make your own.

Most involve ingredients with, shall we say, a pronounced bouquet. Catfish have an incredible sense of smell, and are attracted to anything strong smelling. Here are a few recipes to get you started.

Catfish Melange

Melt 1 lb. of Velveeta cheese for about 1 min. in microwave. Then chop 6-8 oz. of raw chicken livers. Add to the cheese. Next, add a healthy spoon of minced garlic or garlic powder. Then mix in 1 can of dog, or cat food, and add 1 dozen minnows and enough flour to give a dough consistency. Mix in a food processor.

This bait works best on treble hooks or bait tubes.

Cajun Bait

In a blender, mix about 1 lb. of cut fish (rotten minnows work great). Add 1/3 cup of water, 1/2 Cup parmesan cheese, 1 box cherry Jell-O, 1/4 cup molasses, 3 Toss of onion salt and garlic salt, 1 cup bread crumbs, and.3 Tablespoons of soy sauce.

Remove this mixture to a mixing bowl. Add flour to thicken then work into dough by hand. To use, simply pinch off a small chunk, roll it into a ball and place on a #4 treble hook.

Old Man Liver

In a blender place a pound of chicken livers, a half a box of cornflakes, 1/2 cup garlic powder, 1/3 cup of each: parmesan cheese-molasses-sugar. Blend well place in small dishes and freeze what you don’t plan to use as this bait will spoil very quick. Best if used when fresh. Add flour to thicken if needed.

Some other things you can do are to slice a package of old hot dogs into 3/4″ chinks. Then, get a bottle of fish oil at an oriental store (Mackerel works best) and fill a glass jar with it. Place the weenie chunks in the oil , seal the jar tightly, and let them soak at least overnight in the fridge. To use, simply place a chunk on a hook and cast it out gently.

Actually, making catfish bait is pretty straight-forward. All recipes have these things in common. Catfish bait consists of 3 things. A base, a binder/thickener/thinner, and flavor/smell. The base is what holds it together and makes it stay on the hook.

Typical bases are flour, cornmeal, oatmeal, and cereal flakes, or any combination of these. The binder is usually water, to make the dough workable, but oil from fish, blood, Kool-Aid, soda, and most any liquid can be used.

Flavorings include meats, rotten and otherwise, the bloodier and smellier, the better, hot dogs, dog, food, cat food, cheese, rotten and otherwise, canned tuna, shrimp and crabmeat, canned chicken, ham, potted meat, Vienna Sausages, etc….

As an Academy Award-winning director and scripter, Sofia Coppola should never be doubted about her genius and charming. Even when she was crowned as the “Worst New Star” in the 1990 Golden Raspberry Awards for her stiff and affected performance in The Godfather III,we can still witness several shining points in her acting career. But when it comes to fashion, it turns to be a disaster.

The collection she worked with cooperation of fashion icon Louis Vuitton certainly stirred waves in luxury industry and acquired decent sales at the beginning. Then it faded away as expected within the flooding new products in the market. That’s not surprised as Ms.Coppola has been boasting about her conception on practicability rather than style and beauty. Oh gosh, lady! This is the fashion world. We are not selling sandbag, we are promoting luxury.

Take this Slim Lambskin Gold clutch for example. I have to admit that it is so useful. It measures with 8.3″ x 5.1″ x 1.1″ which is a suitable size to handle for any daily occasion. Ms. Coppola once stressed her ideal specification on bag in an interview,” It fits all your things but isn’t too big and isn’t too heavy”. I believe that she and LV designer must have spent a lot to choose a handy size. The clutch is made of a whole piece of delicate gold metallic lambskin. The shinning and eye-catching design will surely make you on the spotlight of a party or nightclub paired with a smoothing evening gown. With the dark brown lambskin and micro fiber lining, it features two components and three slots for cards inside. You won’t fall in trouble with crunching space and fragile inner lining. When Ms. Coppola said,” We went through a lot of prototypes but it was fun. It was always exciting to get a new one and I would try them out and add things.” she must have been extremely serious and spared no effort on extending endurance of her collection. That’s admirable.

However, Ms. Coppola went too far on functionality. The overall design of the bag is just another cliché from Louis Vuitton which has been an expert to revamp its classical designs with minimum alterations for years. The abundant femininity exuding from the Slim Lambskin Gold clutch is attractive for any females. Yes, women from 8 to 80 all can grab it. What could be worse when you own an exactly same bag as your mother, even grandmother? Furthermore, the color is a little bit lack of vitality as well as luxury. The mediocre choice will make both young and sophisticated fashion aficionados hard to enjoy it by heart. But maybe that’s is what Ms. Coppola was searching for, as she admitted “I wanted a bag that I could use every day that was coming from the heritage of Louis Vuitton’s great leather goods, not connected to the fashion side of the brand.”

That’s where the fashion train wreck began!

Love it or hate. Many celebrities from other different walks of life are jumping on the bandwagon of fashion. Some of them did fantastic job, such as Sara Jessica Parker. Some of them, unfortunately, just add another piece of trash on the market. Maybe thing will turn around and we can ignore those failures as Louis Vuitton Slim Lambskin Gold clutch.

Whether you’re considered a soccer mom chic or college dorm student comfort is always on the forefront of your mind, the trick to dressing in womens casual clothing everyday with style is to know how to keep from looking sloppy.

For those lucky enough to dress in womens casual clothes everyday, the challenges could be many, but a few larger ones are, how to build a core wardrobe of basics with enough variety to keep it from getting boring and how to match these varieties without looking like a slob.

Here are some tips to help women build their casual attire:

Buy your casual clothes the same way you would buy career clothes: always thinking about building your best womens casual attire wardrobe. For example, when choosing your casual wear for women, choose cohesive pieces and build them around basic styles. For casual clothing the best approach is three colors for the best mix-and-match wardrobe – khaki, denim, tan black, khaki, white etc.

And please don’t forget about a great casual shoe because nothing kills a chics sporty casual attire like a pair of white running shoes. Stick with a pair of boots or sandals, etc. You probably won’t get stopped by the “bad wardrobe police” with boots and they go with almost all casual clothing.

Use casual accessories and handbags — especially when it comes to casaul wear for women. No two worlds are more distant from one another than the classic look and womens casual attire. Please don’t try to mix a gold and diamond watch with a sweatshirt unless you’re Queen Latifah. Try to stay away from mixing styles.

Keep your casual clothes in good shape — don’t be lazy if they need to be ironed then iron them, if they need to be cleaned then clean them, you get the point.

Stay far away from womens casual wear cliches – like baggy sweats. Baggy sweats is for lounging around the house only and if you are certain no one will see you out of your standard casual clothes. Remember today you might have a reputation to up hold. Instead, opt for some in style womens attire, a great track suit that comes with a strong fitted look in fun colors and rich fabrics like velour or terry.

Don’t get ridiculous or outrageous about casual attire for women. Remember it is just a style which can be fun and look good at the same time. So, if you’re working in the garden or cleaning the house, then wear whatever works for you and leave your casual clothes for those right days.

Dear Martin asked:




I’m a Photoshop user, in the daily work, I use it as my main image editor. But sometimes, I need to extract some or other layers from psd file, well, as you know, psd (photoshop document) is the default image format of Photoshop. The .psd format stores an image with support for most imaging options available in Photoshop. These include layers with masks, color spaces, ICC profiles, transparency, text, alpha channels and spot colors, clipping paths, and duotone settings.

Photoshop’s popularity means that the .psd format is widely used, and it is supported to some extent by most competing software. So most of image material that I download from Internet is .psd format (ok, some are .png format, but if you need really useful image material, only .psd format is able to meet the needs.), and I need only one layer in it, I must extract the layer and export into other image format like jpeg, but if I wanna keep the transparency I must export the layer into 32-bit png with alpha channel. Without doubt, I can do this with my Photoshop, just start Photoshop, and open the .psd file, and hide all other layers and keep my favorite layer and save as png or jpeg, but it’s somewhat inefficient, I just wanna open the psd file, and locate the layer I need and export into png, that’s the way I want.

Fortunately, I’m a software developer, so I designed Super Layer, it’s an easy-to-use utility software help you to extract Photoshop PSD layers and export into bmp, png, jpeg and gif. By using Super Layer, you can

Flower designs are very hot such as semi precious pedant necklaces. It adds feminine touch to anything you wear and pink flower jewelry is especially flattering. Black and white colors are really big now; it looks super cool and elegant when matching these colors with sterling silver chains, silver earrings or silver necklaces.

Another big fashion trend is sun-kissed shades such as orange, yellow, green, and blue; these sun kissed shades are a great eye catching combinations; for example imagine a necklace made of red adventuring jade (orange shade), red carnelian, green adventuring jade, and golden yellow topaz crystals — wearing these combinations of semi precious stones will get you a lot of attention!! Translucent jewelry is very trendy, mostly quartz jewelry, clear quartz, rose quartz, and smoky quartz, they look even more trendy when they are matched with crystal beads — it’s sparkle and see-through celebration!!!

BLUE is the color of the season, it matches good with green, yellow and white, there are so many beautiful tones of blue in nature, and when it combines with sparkling Austrian crystals, it becomes a perfect match! No doubt that turquoise is the queen of the blue color; I find it fascinating how the color of turquoise stone is not strong, still it stand out from far away.

For example, imagine a necklace where the pendent is light blue turquoise, add to it blue sapphire crystals, light chalcedony stones, and white fresh water pearls — this color combination match is in such a harmony that it feels like the colors in heaven! It also feels really nice and comfortable when you look at it with your eyes, just like the blue sky, the Blue Ocean and white clouds. For more information and pictures go to:

Touch Media Design asked:


Okay, you have your products and you’ve decided you are going to design a catalog for distribution. But, where do I start? What should I do first when designing a catalog? What are the necessary steps to designing an effective catalog? In this article I will answer those questions for you and will give you a step by step procedure for designing your new catalog.

Ist Procedure: Decide who your target audience will be. This sounds easy but it needs to be done fist. You need to have who you will be designing a catalog for while you design your catalog. By doing this you will be able to picture how they will react to each step you take.

2nd Procedure: Decide what you will sell. See procedure number one for details. What I mean by that is that you do not want to add every product you have in your inventory if it is not something your target customers will buy. You can save money designing your catalog by leaving out items that are very unlikely to be bought by your target audience.

3rd Procedure: Separate your products so you can focus on them one at a time. Take each product you will be selling and write your sales text and price out so you draw out an idea of how each product will be displayed.

Also as you work on each item and write the descriptions, separately write out any details you will need to give your customer about size, color, and specifications. With some products you will be able to just use a little space in addition to the picture and explain everything there.

But with other products where more information is necessary, you will be putting together a page or more of just information as a reference or guide to buying the products in your catalog. So as you do each one, that is the time to make notes about additional information you will need to offer the customer on another page.

4th Procedure: Photographing your products. . When designing your catalog, individual pictures are best. Group photos will save you money, but they will also make you less sales. Using a professional photographer is also a good idea if you can afford one. Your images are what sells your product so if you do a bad job at photographing your product, you will lose sales.

Summary: At this point you have most of the “pieces” you will use while designing your catalog. Just a couple more pieces and we’ll be ready to move on to actually designing your catalog.

5th Procedure: Informational Pages. Industrial product catalogs might need to give specifications, clothing catalogs need to offer more colors and sizes to choose from but not have it take up too much room on the product pages, and more.

You want to design the information pages of your catalog so that it is simple for the shopper to use. Do not use complex formulas and make them do calculations. Don’t make your customer think too much or too long or you will lose sales. You should have most of the information on the product pages where possible.

Other pages that might help your catalog’s design are special sales product pages, an index, etc. You need to decide how many pages of information you will be including because when designing a catalog you have to remember that the number of pages is always a multiple of four.

6th Procedure: Pre-Layout. This is where you decide where everything will go. Will your information pages be on the inside of the covers or in the center, etc. You know you will have a front and back outside and inside cover. You will have informational pages, and then you have your product pages. Decide how it will read.

7th Procedure: Layout of product pages. Again, just like in the photography is you are not experienced in layout you may want to hire a professional to do the layout design of your catalog, especially for the pages that will display your products and descriptions.

If you intend to do it yourself, then there are some things you will need to know. Always place quality images at the top right hand corner of every right hand page. When your customers starts to turn the page, this is the first thing they will see. It needs to catch their eye and stop them from just flipping through the catalog.

Some people flip through magazines and catalogs from the back to the front, so the upper left hand corner of every left hand page is almost as important. You want them to stop and open your product pages so think of images that will catch their eye and make them want to see more.

Some catalogs use the easiest method of displaying products and information on each page. That is dividing the page in quarters, sixths, or eighths and giving each product it’s on little section. In other catalogs they display the photos and product numbers on one side and the corresponding information for each on the other side of the page. There are other ways as well, this is meant to suggest a couple of ways you can do it.

8th Procedure: Front and Back Cover Layout. This is one of the most important steps you will take while designing your catalog. If you have done everything else yourself, you still may want to consider having a professional design your covers.

The reason this step is so important to catalog design is twofold. One your cover is what will get your customer to want to browse through your catalog in the first place. A bad cover is like having a store that sells fashionable clothing in the ghetto. If your target customers will not come to the store and go inside you have no chance to sell them anything.

The second reason is that for each catalog you send out, you want several potential customers to read it. When the person you sent it to lays it down somewhere, you want others who see it want to pick it up and browse as well. For this reason both the front and back cover is important. You do not know how they will lay it down.

9th Procedure: Finding a printer for your catalog. Before you start designing your catalog, you may want to find the printer that will be doing the printing for you. The reason is that they can help you know what requirements they have for your artwork, images, and layout, and will help you choose the printing methods that will work best for your type of catalog.

I saved this for last, but it is really the first step to catalog design. The last thing you want to do is design your catalog, then find out your chosen printer cannot print your catalog the way you have designed it.

Just imagine the surprise on your kid’s face, when he turns on the TV, on his anniversary, and gets a Happy Birthday wish on his favorite channel : “Today we wish Happy Birthday to Kevin D…”. And later the same special day, other warm anniversary greetings on the Radio : “Happy Birthday today to Kevin D…”.

There are many TV and Radio stations with online Birthday Clubs, where you can simply sign-up your kid or someone you know and get free Happy Birthday announcements.

To enroll your child, all you have to do is send an e-mail or fill-up a form with your child’s name, address and birth date. Sometimes you can also upload a photo or post it through regular mail.

Try to sign-up to these Birthday Clubs at least several weeks before your child’s birthday. Most broadcasters offer more than just a Happy Birthday on-the-air announcement: birthday e-cards, surprise birthday packages, free cakes or ice cream from their sponsors, prizes, surprise gifts sent through the regular mail.

On birthday’s date, have your tape recorder ready. Broadcasters will usually let you know about the hours of the day they make these announcements. Just tape everything and keep it for the years to come.

With versatility as her strength, this Kolkata based model had started her journey at a very young age. Sonali Sehgal has won the Miss India International crown in 2009 and after that it has been no looking back. With her dad an army man and mom a business women, this English graduate is all set to rule the modelling world with her appropriate looks and attitude. Here’s this gorgeous girl in candid one on one with Stylekandy.com Best thing about being a model Every model will agree with this one – we get to travel those amazing destinations, look pretty, wear astounding designer clothes and get paid for the same! Fashion for you. Fashion is something which passes from eras to generations. But at the end, it has to be there within you. Your fitness regime I am very bad in it. I simply **** working out. Luckily, I am genetically blessed with this figure. I know you won’t believe this, but I don’t compromise on eating. To keep myself fit, I indulge in swimming and dancing.

Walking the ramp or posing for print ads. Choose Ohhh honestly, I love posing for print ads and TV commercials as they allow me to perform well. At the same time I would not deny the fact that walking the ramp is just a different feeling walking in front of a live audience and presenting those gorgeous garments. But yes commercials are more fun for me! Models are used as a hanger. Agree or disagree? Yes I do agree, but at the same time, we add a lot more to the garments. I would like to put it in a way that we are the more expressive, **** and beautiful hangers! Favourite designers I do not have any one favourite designer. It changes from time to time. While walking the ramp, I end up finding any one garment attractive, so I simply don’t go by the designer, instead fall for the designs and creativity of the garments.  

Foreign models getting preferences in Indian Fashion Week is a debate. Your take I have nothing against it even we are working in international fashion weeks and are welcomed there so I think everyone should be allowed to work according to their own preferences. It’s a free world. As far as Indian models are concerned, they are given due respect. It’s totally cool with me after all there are very nice Indian models who have made it big in the global platform.

How do you cope with all the pressure, competition? Yes like any other profession, even we have the pressures and stress. There are times when we have to do a lot in less time at that time I just try to calm my self utilize the time in the right direction and perform well. Favourite pass time? Oh. I love to spend time with my six months old Labrador, Bounty. Like any other girl, I love to sleep, watch a lot of movies in theatres and simply enjoy hanging out with friends. Some thing that most people do not know about?  Hmmm there is nothing as such but yes, I want to confess that at times I can be quite mean and stern. What next after modeling? As I have just started, so it will be too early to comment on that. I am already in shows like Dadagiri on UTV Bindaas where I am playing the goddess. Alongside, I am also hosting a show called India ka Fashion Star on Zoom. These things keep me going, I am sure that I am here to stay.
