Getting ready for October...
Exciting news, Anthony is preparing his'Fast Lochin 33' for the passage back to Rye for the winter!
Anthony is currently having a new prop made and is in the process of fitting 'spray chines' which will increase the speed and give the boat a dryer ride.
All day trips are between 7 to 8 hours depending on the tides, longer trips are negotiable.
Anthony is taking bookings for this winter fishing from the 1st of October...so book early to get your place...
call Anthony on 07989778361,
or Seagull Fishing Tackle on 01797 366837.
Dungeness 'cod fishing' trips: £50 per person
(max 8 on boat), £300 for the boat.
Wrecking trips: £55 per person, £350 for the boat.
Including long range 'conger' trips (A target species in October & November).
What the boat provides: Rods, reels, rigs and as much tea & coffee as you can drink.
What you need to bring: Warm clothes, wet weather gear (you can always take
them off but you can't put them on) 'welly' boots, food and drink that you require.
Bring your own bait, can be supplied if required.
Accommodation: Can be arranged on the marsh, we recommend Castaways B&B, Simon the owner is a very keen angler and his B&B is within 5 minutes drive of Dungeness. So if weather stops play... great beach fishing can still be had.
About the boat (Peganina): She is a fast lochin 33, probably one of the most famous charter hulls ever produced and a very well proven sea boat. Powered by a six cylinder turbocharged ford diesel (270hp) equipped with Furuno fish finder, chart plotter, radar and three icon VHS radio's. Coded through the RYA which allows her to take up to 12 passengers. Other equipment the boat has, microwave, grill and a fully flushing toilet.

Les 'the best' Anderson had caught a beautiful place fishing the varne
bank aboard one of our boats jersey lee -clocking in just over 5lb.

Yours truly Z"

'Fairchance'...the plaice to be ( 11 July)
Here is a report from Cliff out with Jerry Oiller on 'Fairchance' in glorious weather...
"Hi Tony
Had to leave early Friday morning Because of operation STACK ( Sacre Bleu !!!!) on a lovely July morning with a good forecast.Sea was not as calm as we expected as we had a couple of hours out to the bullock , plenty of time to make up a few plaice rigs the beads were every where!! Took a while to get the right drift we seemed to be going across the bank instead of along it. But we new the Master would master it and sure enough the fish started to climb aboard.
Fantastic weather and a total of 47 plaice were caught largest being around 2.5 pounds. One small Turbot a few dabs several gurnards and a few weavers. Docky got the winning Plaice in the last 5 minutes before the homeward trip, Bob the Bank and Pete the Meat shared the spoils which were spread around quite evenly. I took a bag full of mackerel in between times for the Barby Saturday.
Strange there was not another boat in sight on such a lovely day, added a few pics for your site, Regards Cliff Hamblin"

Another big bass ( 30 June)
This report from came from Glen Hewson via facebook...which I'm still trying to master...
"Hi there fished a mark off of Dover had this bass on a mackerel just made double figures . Caught on slack tide . I reeled bait up to check as thought was gone and once on surface I see the bass behind . So I dropped bait 25 meters back to bottom . The bass put up spines and open gills and swam full speed after it . Once bait on the bottom 2 seconds later it was on . One really mad and exiting experience "
I had this email from Zalan Pasky...more good plaice...
"Hi Tony,
have retuned the favour and welcomed my dear friend Tom aboard for a
trip to the Ridge this morning.
We have found some nice place up to three
pound - heres a picture of Tom
with one of the
keepers. Yours Zal"
Out on the Bullock ( 30 June)I had this email from Ernestas Gavrilovas fishing out of Rye...
"Hi Tony, Went to Bullock Bank again. This time usual wrecks seemed to be occupied by shoals of mostly small mackerel only. Had four usual size cod, one pollock, some small gurnard. Curious bass several times were following our baits on the suffice, but probably they were full up of mackerel and just playing in the sun. Also tried to fish over the actual bank - it was completely empty again. We've seen some nets, but no trawlers this. Then we had to go for plan "C" - secret uneven grounds nearby. The idea was to try some "mackerel snacks" - if there is loads of them around, somebody on the bottom must be waiting for some dessert. It worked - in about two hours had around 40 plaice (mostly small, one sound 3 pounder) and this turbo:"
Don't mention the 'M' word ( 26 June)
"Hi Tone,
popped out this morning to catch the last of the calm...
was worth it - steady flow of fish throughout the tide - very enjoyable
session indeed. Yours Zal
Diner is served ( 25 June)I had this email from Zalan Pasky...cracking plaice fishing...
"Hi tony,
just had a chance to send you this. we were out on a 'highly secret' bank location (50 41.59N 001 08.83E) on Tuesday afternoon.
Helped by the neap tide and light breeze, we were fishing in ideal conditions all day.
Had several fish around the 3lb mark - the best one topped out at 4lb 4oz.
Talk soon, Zal"
Plaice in the rain ( 22 June)
"About 40 keepers from the bullock bank today aboard the fair chance. Chris and Bob with 4 of the better ones including a couple of crackers over 3 lb"
I had this cracking report from Paul Hodges...
"Hi Tony. What a great Day Plaice Fishing. The day began with a very early start at 04:45 as we had to be at the boat for 05:30. Dave turned up and we travelled the short distance to Fair Chance at Dungeness to meet up with Darren and his Dad Vince. It wasn't long before we were on our way out to the Bullock. We had high hopes as the conditions and tides were perfect for Plaice. We weren't to be disappointed.On the way out we decided to try for mackerel, we did this by casting 50 yards in front of the boat and letting it sink as the boat caught up. By doing this on the 1hr 30 minute trip to the Bullock we had enough for bait to start with. On our arrival to the Bullock we had the nod from the skipper and we began to start fishing. I should have got a few more of us all during the day fishing, oh well next time. It wasn't long before we were into a few fish. The tide was perfect but the way the boat drifted made it difficult but we all managed with only a couple of tangles all day.
We had a steady stream of fish all day except over slack water when we had no tide or wind to push us along. We had about and hour to an hour and a half like this where we had very few fish. The fishing was good and we only had 5 whiting all day, 2-3 grey and tub Gurnards, 2-3 lesser weavers, Dabs and up to 100 Plaice, by the end of the day we had between 50 and 60 keepers. Oh and I did manage a small Turbot of about 1.5lb. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day with good banter and cups of tea all day. Hodgey"
Cracking report from Ernestas Gavrilovas...
"Fished around Bullock Bank today. Unfortunately "well known for everyone wreck"
has produced just few fish. Then we decided to go for plan B and try our own top
secret wreck. Tree of us ended with around 50+ cod, 3 pollock, thorn back ray,
plaice, some mackerel.
Also we have tried the actual Bullock bank. It was
completely empty - after an hours drifting haven't seen a single bite.
Regards, Ernest Robertas pictured with his 15lb cod"
The girls got the knack ( 8 June)
"Hi Tony, Ian, his daughter Rhiannon and myself went out of Dover yesterday, we had plaice, dab, bass, gurnard, mackerel, horse mackerel, whiting and pouting, nothing big, 2-13 plaice and 4lb bass but a cracking day out, Rhiannon had her first bass on a lure, in fact her first bass, returned to fight another day. Doug"
Nick's almost smiling ( 8 June)I had this report in from Steve Savage out with Nick ( No Fear) Burton...
"Hi Tony a 6lb bass caught on a rhubarb and custard sidewinder."
I had this report from Paul Hodges who had a productive day out with Jerry Oiller on 'Fairchance'...Plenty of plaice ( 31 May)
"Hi Tony
Fished with Nick, Colin and Dave on Fair Chance yesterday out on the Bullock. Fishing was very challenging as the rough weather the day before had coloured the water and it was a little lumpy but bearable. We managed 38 Plaice between us and a few smaller ones that went back, lots of Whiting still out there. No Mackerel probably due to the water being so coloured, we did have a few Dabs as well. The best two of the day were 3lb 12oz (55cm & 52cm) which I managed to winkle out. On another note the bigger the bling produced the better fish. Regards Hodgey"
Fun in the sun ( 28 May)
Here is report from Zalan out from the Varne Boat Club...
"Hi Tony, its been a great to have this weather for the kids for half term - we
made the most of it this morning and put that lovely 8lb rod i have got from you to the test. Very busy days catching; - the kids were getting fish at the same time
so.. I was busy with nets and tangles, knots, etc. Stuff memories are made of. Zal"

Windy but worth it ( 10 March)
Here is a report from Cliff out with Jerry Oiller on 'Fairchance'...
"Hi Tony
Was due to go out with Jerry on 28 feb but was cancelled due to High Winds, then he offered us a cancellation on Sunday so we took it, having watched your site and saw that there are still Cod about. the WE being Pete Foster, Mike Dougherty, Malcolm Seldon and myself. It was a sensible start time 9.00 on the beach, I do believe Pete and Malc visited your shop that morning for some Cuttle. It was a lovely day though still quite windy. The fish were biting most of the day and not a whiting in site. Between us we had 14 Codling the best being around 5 pound and 3 skate the best as shown around 9 or 10 pound. The skate was caught on frozen lug with a nice length of squid trailing and my Cod were caught with lug and cuttle combinations, couple of pics included of yours truly and Thanks to Jerry for squeezing us in. He dont make a bad cup of tea either, just needs a few new MUGS.
Thanks Cliff Hamblin."

"Last Tangle in Dungeness !!!!!!
Hi Tony following my morning visit to Seagull Tackle on that beautiful Saturday morning last week as promised I have included a few pics, some are not the best Quality but that is what happens when you give the camera to a BANKER !!!!!. As you can see by the Title (probably wont make a BBC series) at the end of a good days fishing the inevitable tangle occurred. But in his defence 10 Bob Cod (not 2/- or to the younger generation two bob) was by far the best Codder of the day. Not much tide all day and after a slow start fish were regularly hauled aboard the rest of the day. The best of the day went to Bob the Banker about 4-5 pounds ( only just though after a disputed weigh in) the rest of the catch shared between myself, Pete the Meat ,and Malc (given up smoking ) Seldon . Most were caught uptide on Lug, but the downtiders also had success with cuttle , squid and lug cocktail, ending with a 23 cod haul.Anthony has some spare places on Peganina this weekend, give him a call on 07989778361.
The wind was keen but the sunglasses were on, and despite the forecast it was a lovely days fishing, and we came in to a beautiful evening with the moon out as you can see.Thanks to Jerry and look forward to february. Cliff Hamblin"

"Hi Tony
I gratefully accepted an invitation to fish with seasoned CODDERS Warren Knapp and the Doc as well as an old friend Steve Perry, skippered by the Legend known to many as Jerry Oiler aboard Fair Chance. With a lack of tide, and little wind it was a slow start to the day, but a few codling were landed to mixtures of cuttle, squid & lug.
Things gradually started to liven up as boats from Dover and Rye arrived. In total 19 cod were landed from 3 pound upwards, best of which being the successful OPERATON of landing a very nice 14 pounder by the DOC! Several were dropped along the way the best being the last, which would have made it a nice SCORE.
Heres a couple of Pics of the Motley Crew, cheers Jerry. Thanks Cliff

A new Island has appeared off littlestone beach near the varne boat club , why! could it be due to global warming, an earthquake, or volcano, no its the first load of rocks for the groyne they are building.

This reports the MAIB's investigation of the collision between the multi-purpose cargo shipRickmers Dubai with the un-manned crane barge Walcon Wizard which was being towed by the tugKingston in the south-west traffic lane of the Dover Strait TSS. The accident occurred as Rickmers Dubai was overtaking the tug and its tow.
Immediately following the collision, the towline caught on Rickmers Dubai and Kingston was towed stern-first through the water until the towline ran free from its tow winch. Walcon Wizard was badly damaged and Rickmers Dubai's hull was punctured above the waterline. The hydraulic system for the tow winch on board Kingston was also damaged. There were no injuries and there was no pollution.

Walcon Wizard was badly damaged and Rickmers Dubai's hull was punctured above the waterline. The hydraulic system for the tow winch on board Kingston was also damaged. There were no injuries and there was no pollution.
The report found that:
- Rickmers Dubai's OOW was alone on the bridge and he did not see Walcon Wizard. He did not keep a visual lookout or monitor the radar. Instead, he relied solely on AIS information for collision avoidance, which neither Kingston nor Walcon Wizard were transmitting.
- The OOW was relatively inactive throughout his watch and did not take note of safety broadcasts issued by Dover Coastguard which included information regarding the position and movement of Kingston and its tow.
- The towline secured to the winch on board Kingston could not be released from the wheelhouse, highlighting ambiguities in the regulatory requirements for the release of towlines.Report No 29/2014 | Published 23 October 2014

Hartlepool RNLI volunteer crew members rescue 3 men after fishing boat sinks.
- Hartlepool RNLI's volunteer crewmembers were called to rescue 3 fishermen after their boat was swamped by a wave and sank on Sunday 21 September 2014.
- Both Hartlepool RNLI's Trent class All-weather lifeboat and their Atlantic 75 inshore lifeboat were in action on Sunday 21 September following a request from HM Humber Coastguard to go to the assistance of a pleasure fishing boat that was sinking with 3 people on board.
The pagers went off at 1.06pm with a report that a 16 foot fishing boat was in trouble and sinking near Longscar Buoy about a mile from the shore. Both Hartlepool RNLI lifeboats were launched and on scene at 1.18pm.
Hartlepool RNLI volunteer Helm, Mark Barker said 'The fishing boat had been hit by a large wave and was swamped and began to sink. When we arrived on scene all 3 men were in the water with 1 clinging to the buoy. We managed to get 2 of the fishermen onboard the inshore lifeboat and then brought the third man onboard.'
'They were all very cold and we wrapped them in blankets and gave them oxygen and first aid as we headed back to the lifeboat station. We had initially thought of transferring them to the All-weather lifeboat but the sea was too rough. Two ambulances were waiting to take them to hospital.
Hartlepool Lifeboat Operations Manager said "Thankfully the fishermen had life jackets on and these were 3 lives saved by our volunteer crew members who train regularly to help save lives at sea."

Here is a reminder from the EA ( 15 September)
Clare sent me this to remind all the boat users in the Greatstone area to be aware...
No. 1 of 2014
Kent and South London
COASTAL DEFENCE WORKS AT Greatstone, near Littlestone on Sea Lifeboat Station.
Mariners are advised that work will commence around 29th September 2014 to extend Greatstone outfall and incorporate it within a rock groyne.
Rock will be brought by the 140m barge Stema Barge II to an anchorage off shore.
The rock will be transhipped to the 82m barge Charlie Rock and towed by the handling tug Afon Cefn. The delivery route from the anchorage to the beach will vary throughout the contract to allow for local weather conditions and location of delivery at the beach
Rock discharge work is anticipated to finish by the end of October 2014.
Mariners are requested to keep a safe distance from the anchored and delivery vessels, and be aware that there could be obstructions in the vicinity of the beach unloading operations.
The vessels, barges and tugs will display all lights and marks required by the Collision Regulations, and the handling tugs will maintain a listening watch on VHF channel 16.

Turbo powered ( 8 August)Here is a report from Paul Hodges out with Jerry Oiller on 'Fairchance'...
"Hi Tony
Myself, Adam, Dave and the infamous Geordie Si were out with Jerry yesterday (7/8/14). The weather was perfect lovely and calm, with very clear water however there was very little tide movement. On our arrival we caught a few Mackerel for bait but even these became hard to catch later on. We used mackerel and worm baits all day with little success. I think in total we managed to take about 20 keeper Plaice with a few smaller ones released. There was very few other species caught through the day, only a couple of Dabs, gurnard and a small ray of about 2lb. However the highlight of the day was the addition of 4 Turbot the biggest going 3lb, caught by Adam. Regards Paul "

Fairchance yesterday ( 14 July)
This report came in from Paul Hodges this morning...
"Hi Tony
Fished yesterday on fair chance fishing for Plaice on the Bullock. It was a grey overcast start to the day with lots of drizzle, mist and fog. The crew consisted of myself, Nick Plum, his good wife and Nigel. It was hard start as the boat came off the wooden runners so it took a lot of effort to push it over the ridge of shingle at the top of the beach. When we eventually got the boat into the water it was a little breezy and choppy on the water but not too bad.
Upon our arrival to the bullock we had a few fish but the fishing was slow all day. We all had Plaice throughout the day with the fishing being in fits and starts. It was a very enjoyable day out on the water despite the not so good fishing. Especially watching Nick being out fished by his wife, not just out fished totally smashed by his wife in size of fish and number of fish.
We headed back in around 12 ish and arrived back on the beach about 2pm. I managed about 25 plaice in total and kept 15 of which the best went 3lb 12oz. I think the total for the boat was about 40 Keppers with quite a few smaller fish returned.
Out again in August hopefully the weather will be a bit drier and less windy, hopefully there will be a few more fish too.
You never know whats out there...( 14 July)
I had this email from John...
"Just a quick note on Saturday I was moving our new cat 'Aristocat' fishing boat from Eastbourne round to Dover
At around 8.30am off Dungeness point 2 miles out we over took a sunfish who was also on way towards Dover.
Might think about getting some tuna gear sorted for September ???????
John Whitten watch this space"
...I don't know about tuna but how about some sharking...I was chatting to Jerry (Fairchance) the other day, he saw a dorsal fin sticking four feet out of the water...basking shark or an orca?...I bet there are plenty of surprises out there!
Anthony Hills had a 'Red letter' day yesterday out on his charter boat 'Peganina'
forty four pollack the best being over nine pounds...
At a pinch ( 13 July)
Here is a report from Jamie Keeble...
"Hi Tony, Had a nice day Saturday fishing the inshore wrecks at Dymchurch, off the RIB. Pouting everywhere with the best fish a few 4-6lb Cod. The best catch of the day though was this feisty 4 1/2lb beast. Regards, Jamie"
A very flat day on the 'Bullock' ( 11 July)
Dave Knight sent this report in from 'Sunny Dymchurch'...
"Hi Tony,
Went afloat on Tuesday and fished the Bullock Bank. Had about 40 plaice and Tim had a PB weighing in at 4lb 6oz.
I even had one on mackerel feathers fishing close to the bottom.
Best Regards, Dave"
Happy snaps ( 9 July)Had some great photos sent in by Jim Quinn... the Dymchurch 'Seaker 2' team on holiday catching some great fish...nice to see Jim's wife Joanne enjoying herself!
You always have a 'Fairchance' with Jerry ( 7 July)
I had this report from Paul Hodges...yes...fresh mackerel really is best...
"Hi Tony
Myself and Nick Plum were invited out with Dan and Steve on Fair Chance yesterday. The weather forecast was touch and go up until the evening before, and the forecast for the morning looked very wet (and it was). We left the beach at 7 am and steamed out onto the Bullock, as we arrived the rain continued to pour down but the sea state was slight and the wind was very light, which was to change dramatically on the way back into shore.
during the day the stream of fish was very steady with a wider variety of species being caught. The Plaice fishing was slow to begin with and a surprise was that of 4 rays being landed on the boat (2 of 9-10lb and 2 smaller ones of about 4-5lb). There were lots of Mackerel out on the Bullock yesterday, compared to a couple of weeks before where we struggled to get any. There were quite a few larger Mackerel too of up to 1lb or more. This also seemed to be the bait of choice, despite us all bringing plenty of lug and squid, I even tried Sandeels and these came back untouched after being down for 20mins. The best bait without question was fresh Mackerel, 90% of my fish fell to this as did the skippers fish. Jerry landed the biggest Ray of the day and several very good plaice. The Plaice fishing was definitely not as prolific as a couple of weeks ago but this could have been due to several factors, the weather the day before, dropping tides and the fact we were being held up in the drift by the wind.
We still managed lots of fish on a thoroughly enjoyable days fishing. Oh yes the journey back to the beach shall we say was very lumpy as the wind had increased. We were rolling about quite a bit and all I can say is that I am glad I had my waterproofs with me. All I could compare it to was a wild rollercoaster ride, but it was enjoyable.
Regards Paul"

Symmetry Therapeutic Massage SpaRead MoreSymmetry Therapeutic Massage Spa sprang from the dream of two friends and fellow massage therapists who sought to demonstrate that massage could be used to better physical health. They started small, with a one-room office behind a Pilates studio. Soon, however, they found themselves juggling more appointments than they could handle. Just two years later, they moved into a sprawling new sports-partnered studio, creating a new source of relief for athletes whose massages previously consisted of lying in the middle of the turf during a game. Today, Symmetry's founding pair leads 30 other licensed therapists, each with her own unique background and specialty. These practitioners treat clients with more than a dozen massage modalities, including neuromuscular massage, which relies on static pressure to relieve area-specific pain, and Thai Yoga. Services such as soothing steam therapy and invigorating dry body-brushing augment the offerings. During the studio's semi-private workshops, including couples' workshops, the therapists teach clients how to perform their massage techniques at home. This allows clients to connect with their partners during couples massages whenever they have some private time at home or a long wait in a grocery-store line together.12600 West Colfax AvenueLakewood, CO US
Rae of Light Aromatherapy MassageRead MoreRae Marie bases her business, Rae of Light Aromatherapy Massage, on the use of scented oils. In a candid essay, she explains why: as a teenager, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Rae spent her high-school years cycling between different medications and inpatient programs, but continued to feel mired in negative emotions—when she didn't feel like a "walking vegetable," that is. In 1993, something changed. Rae's mom, an alternative healer, was enrolled in a course on essential oils. When Rae reluctantly accompanied her mom to class, she intended to sleep through it. But by the end of the lecture, the soothing scent of an oil called "joy" had put her mind at ease, and as the duo smelled it in the car, they found it facilitated communication between them. Over the next few months, Rae learned more about oils, eventually stopping her medication and leaving the hospital to focus in on a new path in life. Today, at her massage clinic, she helps others experience the dramatic changes she went through via a variety of massage modalities, oils, and spa packages.1075 South Yukon Street Ste 340Lakewood, CO US

Jeanne Jennings | April 19, 2010 | Comments
See how one company tries to grow its list using an e-mail change-of-address and append service and negative option-opt-out, but fails at connecting with quality customers.
E-mail list attrition is a problem; no one wants to see the size of their e-mail audience decrease or even stay stable. Everyone wants growth.
MarketingSherpa recently reported that while 67 percent of marketers are seeing their list sizes increase, the other 33 percent have list quantities that are stable or declining. Of those with declining lists, the average change in list size in the first half of 2009 was more than 10 percent; consumer lists decreased an average of 6 percent, while business lists had a decrease of more than double that (13 percent).
One way to attack declining list sizes is by using an e-mail change-of-address or append service. A number of companies will take your list and either provide updated e-mail addresses for these contacts or find an e-mail address for records that don't currently include one. These services can be useful, but they also have drawbacks, especially when marketers take liberties with how they use them.
Exhibit A: an e-mail I recently received from a company called Grandin Road:
The salutation is friendly enough - "Dear Valued Grandin Road Customer." But I have no recollection of ever buying anything from Grandin Road; the brand name rings no bells with me.
The company goes on to say that it has used an e-mail change-of-address service to make sure it has my preferred e-mail address. This makes it sounds like I had provided Grandin Road an e-mail address and that this is just an update to that. I checked my inbox - I don't have any other e-mail from this company there, not to any of my e-mail addresses.
Even more interesting, the e-mail address it's offering to send e-mail to is a rather obscure one. I used it years ago to sign up for a children's online gaming site (as part of consulting work I did for Hasbro). I still get e-mail messages from that site, but I rarely, if ever, open or click on them. So this wouldn't be considered an "active" e-mail address by many organizations, and if I were using an e-mail change-of-address or append service, I certainly wouldn't want to pay to get this e-mail address.
The next issue is a big one for me as a consumer and as a marketer. Grandin Road is using negative option-opt-out, where silence equals permission. The first bullet tells me that my e-mail address is being added to the list; the second gives me the opportunity to provide a different e-mail address where Grandin Road can reach me. The company is assuming that I want to be on its e-mail list. The option to remove myself from the list is in the footer, in much smaller font.
The end result is this: the Grandin Road list grows overnight, which sounds good. But what is the quality of these names?
Grandin Road also missed an opportunity here. Maybe I would be interested in having an e-mail relationship with this company if I knew more about what products or services it offered, what types of e-mail messages I would receive, and how frequently they would be appearing in my inbox. There's none of that here. The company is assuming that I know what it is; which I don't. And I can't believe I'm the only one.
So, will I remove myself from the list? No, but not for the reasons that Grandin Road wants me on its list.
I'm curious as to how Grandin Road will use this negative option-opt-out introduction to try to entice me to become a customer. Will it attempt to overcome this rocky start to our relationship and make it up to me with e-mail content that's relevant, interesting, and not sent too frequently? Or will it be a constant barrage of "buy, buy, buy" that's all about Grandin Road without any thought to my needs? I'll keep you posted...

9/28/2012 (3 years ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
African nations of Sudan and South Sudan have signed agreements to
demilitarize their border and resume the transport of southern oil
through the north. Issues have long been a bone of contention between
the two countries ever since South Sudan became its own country. The
signed agreements do not deal with the oil-producing Abyei region and
several other disputed border regions.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Africa
Keywords: Sudan, South Sudan, agreements, borders, oil shipments, war
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan and President Salva Kiir of South Sudan engaged in four days of intense talks between negotiating teams.
Establishing a demilitarized zone along the border has been a major sticking point between Sudan and South Sudan. Both nations have now promised to pull their soldiers back six miles from the border.
In addition, an economic settlement deals with issues such as pensions, banking, national debt and trade matters. Both nations also reached agreement on the status of each country's nationals on the other's territory.
Oil production can now resume under the agreements, as the sides have agreed on transit fees the south will pay to use northern pipelines. South Sudan shut down its oil production in January after disputes over fees, affecting the economy of both countries detrimentally.
The issue of Abyei and the borders remain unresolved. In an example that the two countries have miles to go before resuming normal relations, President Salva Kiir of South Sudan blamed Sudan for not reaching an agreement.
"As for Abyei, it is very unfortunate that we could not agree. My government and I accepted unconditionally the proposal of the AU-HIP, to the resolution of the conflict in Abyei," Kiir said.
"Unfortunately, my brother Bashir and his government totally rejected the proposal in its totality. It is not the responsibility of the AU-HIP to refer the matter to the AU Peace and Security Council."
African Union mediator Thabo Mbeki, the chairman of the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel, says that he is confident that the two countries will solve the outstanding issues easily,
"The parties have agreed on a process to continue to engage with each other on the matter of the disputed and claimed border areas," Mbeki says. "They will engage, they will continue to negotiate this matter and it shouldn't be difficult to solve this particular matter."
More talks are required, but it will take time before the two countries will meet again. "There is going to be this team of African experts, they are going to handle this, the five disputed areas issue, and according to the agreement they may take about three months to resolve that situation," Ambassador Bedredin Abdella of the Sudanese delegation says.
"And after that they are going to give a written opinion to the two sides of the facilitators regarding to their opinion, which is non-binding."
South Sudan and Sudan split up in 2011 under a 2005 peace agreement. South Sudan gained about 70 percent of the oil production. An all-out war between the two nations was waged in April of this year.

Le Guest book is a stylish coffee table book designed to collect memories of time spent with friends and family. Read more
Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on July 10, 2014.
Le Guest book is a stylish coffee table book designed to collect memories of time spent with friends and family.
About this project
When we are invited to a dinner party or a housewarming party or whatever party, we try to be creative and think of a cool gift, something other than a bottle of wine (again). This was our inspiration for Le Guest Book, the hangover-free gift that really gets better with time, (also it will make your hosts feel like they made the right choice inviting you). Le Guest book is designed to bring back a sense of old time hospitality and record the wonderful moments we spend with friends and family.
Bringing a sense of old time hospitality requires some old time quality and craftsmanship. We designed Le Guest Book to look and feel timeless, so it will age with grace like good memories should. Unfortunately, those things don't come cheap unless you make them in big quantities and then they become cheap(er). And this is where we need your help, we need to get to a critical mass so we can make these book affordable. Here are some details about Le Guest book. It is a hardcover book covered in grey linen and stamped with a gold foil on the front cover, so wether you by it as a gift or for yourself, you can impress and be impressed by all those features. The price of Le Guest book on Kickstarter is $40 max, compare that with the $50 retail price and you should feel extra happy. If you buy 1000 Le Guest Books, you can save $10,000!!!
Inside, each page is designed with several options to accommodate any kind of writing style, from a space that allows free writing to simply answering multiple choice questions about your hosting style. Each page is designed and printed in elegant light blue ink on an off white 80lbs. archival paper and finished with colored edges. Last but not least, Le Guest book flaunts a dark grey marker ribbon.
We do realize we could have taken a less expensive route but we believe that compromises should only be made when choosing a spouse, not when making a guest book. We are working with a couple of printers/binders/magic makers on finalizing large quantities and at this stage all we can say is that the books will be either made in the U.S., Israel or Hong Kong.
Risks and challenges
Manufacturing a product is no walk in the park, (unless that park is that crazy place in the "Hunger games"), it is a great challenge. We did an incredible amount of footwork trying to find a single source that can offset print, color the edges (that was harder than we anticipated) and bind and stamp these books. The good news is that we found two sources that can do it for us and depending of the amount of books purchased, we will order from one of them. However, making sure every book is perfect, sorting and shipping is still a big challenge. That said, we feel we are well equipped in facing these challenges.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
