The Battle of Shiloh, fought in April 1862 during the American Civil War, is sometimes called Bloody Shiloh for its particularly devastating results for both sides. One Union veteran wrote, "No soldier who took part in the two day's engagement at Shiloh ever spoiled for a fight again. We wanted a square, stand-up fight [and] got all we wanted of it." The national cemetery within the park is the final resting place of 4,000 soldiers and their family members. The Shiloh Indian Mounds, a National Historic Landmark, are also located within the park boundaries.

True, the Blue Crew is now trying to limit his starts, but the damage has been done. Based on his performance this year, Gallardo will undoubtedly be drafted in the early rounds next year as a #1 or #2 SP, well within the Top 20. I don't think he's even going to finish close to the Top 50.

Protecting yourself during the holidays
NORTHUMBERLAND – The holiday season is supposed to be a happy and festive time. However, some may fall victim to crime during the busy shopping rush. Joshua VanKirk is chief of police in Point Township and says being aware of your surroundings is very important.
VanKirk said, "This is something we call reactionary gap. Just picture yourself walking out of a mall and you just scored a great deal and you are looking down in your bag. If your head is down looking in the bag, what aren't you seeing? We talk about this even in our schools with our kids. We say chin-up, eyes open and look around and pay attention. Something we call reactionary gap means it's nice to the see the threat about fifty-feet away instead of five-feet."
He also talked about the dangers of fraud when using credit cards for shopping. VanKirk said, "There is a higher frequency during the holiday season. Just take for example just the volume of sales that take place this time of year. So whether it's a clerical error, an honest mistake, or whether it's actual criminal activity, both of those situations can appear as identity theft to the victim. After the holidays, it's a real good time to run a credit report to see all transactions made."
Other holiday tips include leaving packages in the trunk and out of sight when shopping, keeping cash and just the cards you need in your purse or wallet and staying in well-lit areas when alone.
VanKirk was a guest on WKOK's Sunrise program and the entire interview is posted online at www.wkok.com. (Ali Stevens)

Charges filed during the past few years against members of the group have often been weak and hard to prove. A former Shark named Shawn Caravelli was charged with aggravated battery in 1997. The charge was never prosecuted. Another named Michael Destefano was twice charged with aggravated battery in 1996. Those charges were also dropped. Feder himself was arrested in 1995, on charges of cocaine possession and marijuana-dealing. He was acquitted.
Feder boasts that, despite dozens of felony charges filed against members of the group, none has produced a conviction. He says he made it policy to revoke the membership of any Shark who broke the law. For instance, Caravelli, who beat charges of violent crimes, was convicted on several felony fraud and drug charges. Feder says Caravelli was unanimously ousted from the group.
Cobb acknowledges that major successful cases against the Sharks have proven elusive. Many of the cases filed against Sharks hinged solely on photo identification by witnesses. A Shark named Kevin Trotter was charged last year in a beating that was allegedly ordered by the mobster Cerrella. That case is based on a witness photo-identification, with no physical evidence. Robert Getchell, a onetime Mob associate, was also charged in the beating. When contacted last summer by New Times while out on bond, Getchell admitted to his own participation but laughed when Trotter's name was mentioned. Trotter wasn't there, Getchell said.
On January 1, 1998, five Sharks, including Feder and Trotter, were charged in the vicious beating of off-duty Metro-Dade police officer Rick Edwards at the Chili Pepper nightclub in Fort Lauderdale, where Sharks routinely work security. Edwards picked out the Sharks from the MIU photo album. Charges against Trotter and another Shark have since been dropped because it was determined they weren't involved. Feder admits he was in the club, but adamantly denies he ever hit Edwards. The case has yet to go to trial.
Feder's attorney, Richard Geraci, refused to comment on the current kidnapping case. The Shark leader's former attorney, Gabe Grasso, who has also represented other members, has told New Times that he believes the cops have been on a witch-hunt all along, trumping up charges against the Sharks because of their intimidating appearances and the shady people they work around at nightclubs.
But Feder is worried about the armed kidnapping case, in which Caravelli and Trotter have also been charged.
"They did a good job," Feder says of the task force that jailed him. "It's gonna be hard to beat. They threw so much shit on the wall that some of it's bound to stick.... But I'm not guilty, and I believe I can win."
Feder has never been convicted of a felony in the United States, though he was convicted of carrying a concealed weapon in Canada several years ago. Feder says he's worried that Trotter, a fellow Shark who has never been convicted of a felony, might be about to turn state's witness against him to save himself from prison time.
If convicted, Feder faces from six to eleven years in prison, Cobb says.
From behind his pane of glass at the detention center, Feder says he'd rather die first.
He shows no pride when he looks at his Shark tattoo, just shakes his head. "That was a mistake," he says. Feder says the Sharks no longer have meetings. Even if he beats his kidnapping charges, he insists the group is defunct. "There's nothing good about being a Shark anymore," he says. "It's over."
But several Sharks still live and work at clubs in Broward County. And at a recent bond hearing for Feder, a handful of them came to support their old leader. When the FDLE's Tony Pineda, who was the lead agent in the case, went to the bathroom during the hearing, a few Sharks hovered behind him as he urinated, according to Cobb. As the musclebound bouncers walked out of the bathroom, one of them flicked out the lights. Cobb believes it was a message. "That is the way they operate -- by intimidation," the prosecutor says. "Their intimidation is over."

Enumeration and Characterization of the Public Health Nurse Workforce
Report finds high job satisfaction among public health nurses, but many state health departments struggle to fill vacancies.
Public health nurses comprise the largest professional segment of the public health workforce. They play an essential role in improving the population's health and delivering essential health services to communities but, until recently, little has been known about the size, preparation, and makeup of these nurses.
To better understand the characteristics of the public health nursing workforce, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) established the Future of Public Health Nursing initiative to identify and implement strategies to increase the skills and ability of public health nurses to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing health and health care environment.
The Initiative's "Enumeration and Characterization of the Public Health Nurse Workforce" is the first comprehensive assessment of the public health nurse workforce. Conducted by the University of Michigan Center of Excellence in Public Health Workforce Studies, it offers a snapshot of the size, composition, educational background, experience, retirement intention, job function, and job satisfaction of RNs who work for state and local health departments.
Anneleen Severynen, a public health nurse in Washington state, writes about her work on a mobile medical unit that provides for the health care needs of homeless individuals.
RWJF Scholar treats the kind of people he grew up with: the poor, the oppressed and the marginalized.
Read morePaul Kuehnert, team director of Public Health at RWJF, discusses the findings of the Enumeration and Characterization of the Public Health Nurse Workforce.
In what many believe to be a first-of-its-kind program, Pima County (Arizona) libraries teamed up with the county Health Department to start a jointly-funded "library nurse program."

I just made custom bottle caps with this image at twelve cents each.
Pretty Sweet!
Soaked cubes for 3 or 4 days then dumped everything in. I also used a full pint of bourbon.
Make sure to keep your chips, you can reuse them. I didn't know that.
What would you reuse the chips for? Wouldn't they impart the first beer's flavors onto the next one?

Any rise in the rpm's the ticking stops completely then as soon as it goes back to idle the rattling starts again. no loss in power, mpg, or anything like that runs great just a little worried about the noise. im guessing its not the valves since it stops as soon as i hit the gas. also guessing its not a exhaust leak for that reason also. anyone have any ideas?
also its not a the same rythme kinda noise.

Shrews down to the bare bones
Midfielder Terry Dunfield (shoulder) is sidelined for eight to 10 weeks, defender Mike Jackson (bone bruising) and goalkeeper Glyn Garner (shoulder) are awaiting results from scans before the club know how long they will be out, while striker Omer Riza (ankle) is a long-term absentee. Goalkeeper Chris Neal (groin) and midfielder Craig Disley (knee) should return to training in the next couple of weeks. Matters could have been even worse for Simpson, who was in the same situation for the 2-1 home defeat to Bradford last weekend, but midfielders Jake Simpson and Joss Labadie have both recovered from head/face injuries. Striker Kris Bright (ankle) was taken off as a precaution in the 3-0 reserve-team victory at West Brom in midweek and he is okay to feature. Jake Robinson grabbed a brace in the impressive triumph while Andre Gray netted the other and Simpson has hinted their displays, plus those from others involved, could see them included on Saturday.

The Observer's Handbook for 1919. Edited by C.A. Chant.
Eleventh year of publication.
Note: pages 1-2 and 31-32 were duplicated in the printed copy.
The Handbook for 1919 contains the same amount of matter as that for 1918, and is thus of rather less than half its usual size. The reduction was accomplished by omitting those portions which are not much altered from year to year, namely:—

Outdoor Activities
Walking, Biking and Enjoying the River With its unusual combination of historic, cultural and natural resources, the John H. Chafee Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor possesses tremendous opportunities for sightseeing, hiking, boating, bicycling, fishing and other activities. These resources are especially important as the Corridor cuts through some of the most densely populated areas of New England. Both Rhode Island and Massachusetts have developed State Parks in the Blackstone River Valley. In doing so, the states are working to improve the river's water quality, to improve access to the river, and to provide information about the corridor, its history and its many cultural and natural resources. RI DEM currently maintains about 8 miles of riverfront land that now carries the Blackstone River Bikeway. The holding includes 3 ½ miles of river and canal with an intact towpath. MA DCR owns 1000 acres in Northbridge and Uxbridge, which form the core of its Heritage State Park and includes canal and towpath segments, canal lock remnants and several miles of riverfront property with public access. Walking Pick up a self-guided Walking Tour of one of the communities in the Corridor and learn more about the history of the Valley and its many unique places. Walking Tour brochures can be picked up at any of the Visitor Centers throughout the Valley. Check the Calendar of Events for guided walks by National Park Service Rangers and other programs offered by Corridor Staff, Partners and Volunteers in Parks.River
Biking The Blackstone River Bikeway is currently a work in progress.When completed, this mostly off-road bikeway will extend from Worcester, MA to Providence, RI, with much of the path following the Blackstone River. Currently, a 7-mile stretch along the Blackstone River in Lincoln and Cumberland, Rhode Island and a 2-mile stretch in Millbury, Massachusetts are open and available for recreational use. |

ps Same here, i fly this edge VERY often now, I absolutely love it.. I'm just about finished building my 57" PA Katana MX so I might be flying my edge a bit less after that. |
Sep 28, 2012, 12:30 AM | ||
You guys are as addicted as me... Got the tail and wheels on tonight. Should have her in the air Sunday, and cant wait. Been flying my second 41" Edge but between my lack of 3d skills and to much epoxy I just am not getting much better on it. i think the 40" Epp will take me to the next level. The balsas are just still squirly to me when practicing 3d stuff.... And they break to easy. The 41" is tuff compared to my first balsa, a mini funtana but still need foam as low as I like to fly and CRash!
Goodnight my fellow addicts Quote:

the other thing you'll love about it is if you fumble it hovering inched off the ground and you 'drop' it on the ground, it is so robust.. my first one plopped down on the ground dozens of times and just kept foam safe CA ing the SFG's back together, put the wing tips on again, the rudder top (when I exited a KE spin WAY too low!).. so many bingles and just dusted it off and chucked it up again. |

Wonder how this motor would work? almost the same specs at half the price and a good company....

this was the first one fro the new batch that was sent after epbuddy restocked. Dale is looking after me well i think.. he's spoken to the manufacturer and they've asked me to send them for testing at the factory China, and will cover my postage cost and work out something for the servos he said.. I'm just bummed as it was a gamble considering the price, but there's barely anything comparable in specs,(3/3.5kg/cm dig mg bb) so wish they had held up.. I bought over 50 of the little suckers to have my next years planes sorted! and 30 of the 17g digital mg bb ones at 3/3.5kg/cm too sometimes in hover I've noticed a considerable rudder and elevator flutter at times.. i have had a very wiggly newpower rudder servo for a while which used to dance when sitting on the ground, so could've been that. But i think with the flexible epp a resonant flutter sometimes happens in hover.. this doesn't seem to affect flight performance to me, still feels rock solid. |

I've got a pA thrust 20 weighing 72g from an addiction I'd like to try sometime.. need to change the shaft round first |
Sep 28, 2012, 11:33 AM | |
The reason i asked if you were using the NP servos is because they put out the same torque at 5.5v as the hs65mg ones put out at 6v. So maybe that is why some of us are having possible blowback on our ailerons even using the hitec servos. Because they need the extra torque 6v would give. Maybe???

Also running the cheeper motors are fine, they are just not as consistant between them. Some run better than others. Ther bigest prob i have seen is that they dont take as many hits as the higher quality ones. I have seen the smaller indoor ones guys go through 3 motors in a couple of mints flying indoors. They were hitting the gym floor quite a bit though. |

I would think that motor is no different than a Turnigy 35(D)30(L) KV1100. EMP (or some other Chinese motor companies) makes these motors and rebranded them everywhere. I have good experienced with EMP/Turnigy/Rc timer 3530 series motor. Real life 350W with 12x6 APC, but the back plate get very hot after back-to-back flight. Got them on eBay for $12 shipped and have hundreds of fights on them so no compliant here.
I do have an Omega 72 on my Ultimate Bipe, my test was 280W with 11x5 APC, have not tried a 12x6 yet but Omega runs much smoother in my view. I also have good experience with Corona servos, wondering how others feel about this brand? |

WebSphere V7.0 Is now available
So as I described in May, V7.0 of the WebSphere Application Server is now available. Its my intent over the next few weeks to blog about the content of V7 and give you my views about what is next (and you will already have seen some of that in my entry on WAS Vnext, but I will try to go in to a little more detail).
The big change for WebSphere V7.0, is that we are now JavaEE 5.0 compliant. We have previously delivered, EJB 3.0 support and support for Web Services in feature packs. This release takes that support and provides the remaining pieces to complete the compliance test suite (all the pieces that had shipped earlier we compliant with the specific specs that they implemented).
In my next entry I want to go into detail on EJB 3.0, and provide some examples. Hopefully, I will get that out some time this week.

"Obama profits from media cover-up of family ties to slavery."
"Letter to Random House charges Barack Obama book is a fraud."
"The last days of Obama."
"Obama caught in boneheaded behavior again."
They come from the desk of Andy Martin, an undercooked political commentator and Florida gubernatorial candidate who is fond of giving little-attended sidewalk news conferences in New York. A longtime South Florida character currently living in Chicago, he's not to be taken too seriously. On his Website, www.contrariancommentary.com, Martin digs up facts and then puts his own fevered stamp on them. In a 2003 story I described him as "an enigma wrapped in a riddle who probably should be wrapped in a straitjacket."
But he's nothing if not dogged, and there's usually a kernel of truth in what he says, if you can find it. He was right, for instance, about the Iraq War and traveled several times to Baghdad to produce on-the-ground reports (and hype his absurd search for Saddam Hussein).
So what of his ranting about Barack Obama Jr., the junior Illinois senator who wants to run the free world? We who live in the make-or-break political sand of South Florida can expect to see quite a bit of Obama, who will certainly make frequent visits here as he campaigns for president. Might as well get to know him.
Obama has been a favored child of the media, though recent cracks have begun to mar his sparkling public image. He bought his Chicago estate, for example, with the help of an indicted political operative and accused extortionist named Tony Rezko. The New York Times reported last week about questionable investments, and the Los Angeles Times hit him for inflating his achievements in a recent book.
Martin, who has been "researching" Obama for the past three years, claims the White House hopeful's flaws are chronic, and that he is, in fact, a "congenital liar" (see, the man uses extreme editorial license).
"I have become an Obama guru," he boasts. "I wrote that he is lying to the public. Does that make him a bad man? No. He's a nice man. But I would no more want Obama in the White House than I would want him in the cockpit of an airplane I was in."
Martin has a knack for that kind of loaded language. But you have to be wary of attacks on Obama, especially after an anonymously authored Insight magazine article (published by the right-wing, Sung Myung Moon-owned Washington Times newspaper) accused the senator of having attended a radical Muslim school as a youth. The story was untrue, and the article proved to be a journalistic travesty rife with glaring inaccuracies.
Martin, an unorthodox Republican who is backing Rudy Giuliani for president, says the New York Times called him and asked if he authored the piece, which he didn't. But he does have a penchant for repeatedly dropping the term "Muslim" into his Obama rants.
Obama, for the record, is a Christian. His African father was an atheist, and his father's father was a Muslim. His white mother's side, hailing from Kansas, is Christian. He did his best to exemplify his coziness with Jesus during a highly publicized March 4 speech in a black church in Selma, Alabama, where he commemorated the famous marches of 42 years ago.
That speech, as it happens, provides a good test for Martin's claims against the politician. And it's a good jumping-off point for exploring Obama's complex and fascinating family history.
Martin insists that Obama lied several times in Selma. He says one big fib was the senator's claim that his father, Barack Obama Sr., left Kenya for Hawaii with the help of an iconic American political family. Here's what Obama told the church crowd:
"[T]he Kennedys decided we're going to do an airlift. We're going to go to Africa and start bringing young Africans over to this country and give them scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful country America is. This young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets and came over to this country."
Martin seized on those words.
"Barack Obama Sr. came to Hawaii to study in 1959," Martin says. "That's an objective fact. When did Kennedy become president? It was 1961. It had nothing to do with the Kennedys. Nothing."
Sounds feasible, but Martin is wrong. Though Kennedy wasn't president at the time, he was a U.S. senator, and the Kennedy Foundation helped fund the students' airfare, according to congressional records and a Time magazine article from 1960.
Obama, however, overstated the Kennedy family's role. John, Bobby, and Teddy didn't "decide" to do the airlift. It was a group called the African American Students Foundation that made that decision and organized the mission. But that is hardly a political crime, so I'm scoring one here for the senator.
Martin may have a bit more of a leg to stand on, however, when he points to Obama's strange claim that he was actually born as a result of the Selma marches. Here's what Obama said about his parents' union:

09/24/14Fewer Problems, Higher ProfitsFrom his positions as president and CEO of First Bank of Georgia in Augusta and chairman of the Georgia Bankers Association, Remer Brinson has a great view of the business changes banks across the state are making in response to the improving economy and new industry regulations. "Going through the recession, the hardest part was working with our customers who were struggling with 'how do you get through this period?'," Brinson recalls. "But we got through that period, so now they see a little improvement in their business – relatively small, but increases in sales and margins.

Citizens were asked to weigh in on issues including redeveloping aging strip malls, incorporating walking and biking paths into the new district, and creating safe ways for pedestrians to cross Peachtree Parkway. The open house was part of the Livable Cities Initiative study Peachtree Corners started in the spring thanks in large part to a $96,000 grant from the Atlanta Regional Commission.

09/05/14Share your vision for a better Metro AtlantaThe Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) recently reported that Atlanta grew by 52,700 people between April 1, 2013 and April 1, 2014, a sign that the growth that once overwhelmed the 10-county metro region is returning. All of the counties in the region experienced growth, with Gwinnett, Fulton and Cobb taking the top three spots. "Because the Atlanta region is an attractive place for employers and employees, we tend to attract people from all over the country, creating more in-migration than out-migration," says Mike Alexander, manager of ARC's Research & Analytics Division. While not as robust as the growth during the boom years of the 1990s and early 2000s, this growth is greater than last year's, and puts the region's total population at...

Darlington v Dunston UTS
Quakers take on Dunston UTS tomorrow evening as they begin a hectic period of fixtures.
Following the meeting with Dunston Darlington are due to play six games during September. October is even busier for Martin Gray's men with a further seven Northern League fixtures on the horizon.
Despite the busy period Darlington and their supporters should be relishing the upcoming games having so far recorded maximum points from their first three league games. Darlington have recorded wins over Bishop Auckland, Marske United and most recently Consett and will be hopeful of doing it again against Dunston.
Tomorrow night's visitors Dunston won the FA Vase last season. An Andrew Bulford brace secured the Fed a 2-0 victory at Wembley but the club have endured something of a hangover since then. Dunston are currently bottom of the table and one of only three teams without a point.
Despite Darlington's excellent start to the season and Dunston's disappointing early results Gray and his players will be taking nothing for granted tomorrow evening. A positive result could once again put Quakers top of the table again ahead of the weekend's fixtures.
One player who will be even more keen to record a win on Friday night will be Adam Nicholls. The midfielder was part of the West Auckland side who were beaten by Dunston.
Speaking in tomorrow night's edition of the Quakers he said: "We finished on the wrong end of a 2-0 scoreline, but it was a fantastic feeling to walk out on the Wembley pitch before the game. To see my friends and family in the crowd was a great feeling, and to play on that pitch is a memory that I'll always cherish for the rest of my life."
Darlington's game with Dunston kicks off at 7.30pm.

Chris over at Virtual Business Lifestyle launched a niche site challenge over at his website and called for people to join in. I said "I gotta get in this." and signed myself up.
This is the first part of many where I will be documenting my niche site from the ground up all the way to the income reports for when it starts earning. Look for my next update next Sunday.
It Took Me About 20 Minutes to Select the Niche
It usually doesn't take me too long to figure out a niche to build a site on. While the exact niche of what site you select is important, it isn't the world when we're talking about these mini earners.
I have a hunch that some people are over-analyzing the exact niche to the point where it actually gets in the way of them building a site of your own. "Will this xxxx niche make money?" The answer is always going to be a resounding "Yes!" If people are searching for it then it will always make money, just build it.
Here's 2 of my favorite was to brainstorm for new niche ideas.
Optimal Product Finder for Niche Ideas
I first started with the Optimal Product Finder which is an in-depth Amazon scraper. This is a little tool that is excellent for digging for Amazon products to build sites about. You can use this tool to search keywords or categories and it gives you some very useful data like sales rank and product price.
Looks like Optimal Product Finder is no longer for sale. I hate to tease you, just documenting the process.
Anyway, I tinkered around with this for 10 minutes and didn't see anything that really struck me so I moved on to my next source for niche ideas.
WatchCount for Niche Ideas
I finally hit pay dirt by using WatchCount.com This is one of my favorite tools for getting niche ideas and I'll tell you why.
If you select a category without a keyword you can see the most popular products in that category. Under the Business/Industrial category I found something called an "Oscilloscope". Apparently this is some kind of electronic device used by professionals and it can be super expensive. This particular auction I saw that inspired me had over 500+ sales and 750+ watchers.
This product doesn't seem to be very well-known but since people are using them for work they're getting bought. I guessed that there aren't any affiliate sites on oscilloscopes and after looking at some of the top keywords I was 100% correct, there really isn't any (at least I couldn't find any). I have my doubts after writing this if that will still be true lol but hey, goes with the territory.
The Keywords: How to Choose Them Wisely
I logged into Google Adwords and using their Keyword Tool I extracted 800 relevant keywords. After downloading the spreadsheet I copy/pasted all 800 keywords to Market Samurai.
Now it's going to take Market Samurai a while to return the data on all these keys but its worth the wait.
After I was done I used the Golden Rules filter and found a good handful of keywords that were less than 100,000 competition with a healthy amount of searches everyday. For now, I'll just be focusing on these keywords because they will give me the best chance of immediately earning with this site.
While the niche might not be the end-all, the keywords definitely are. You should be focusing your initial energy on grabbing low hanging fruit with a fair amount of searches so you can start making money with your new baby as soon as possible.
The Content: I Was Lucky to Find An Expert
From here I usually hand off the keyword list and some basic outlines to one of my writers but since my cousin was on Skype and he's a super-duper electrician I offered him the job instead. It's definitely worth paying double or even triple what you normally pay a writer to do some articles if they have real-world experience on the topic and can write some super-professional stuff.
My interview literally went something like this:
Andrew: whats an oscilloscope?
Bob: they analyze electrical signal in the frequency domain
Andrew: lol want to make some money writing a couple articles for me?
How Will The New Site Make Money?
From the looks of it I can monetize 3 different ways:
Google Adsense
Standard stuff. Normally when people do these niche sites they stop at Adsense because they might be doing a niche that isn't conducive to product sales. Pretty much all of my sites are directly related to products or brands if not all about the products themselves. I know others like to do it different, but that's just how I like to build sites.
Ebay Partner Network
I've heard its a real bitch to get into this program now but I was fortunate enough to get into this program around the time they first launched it. EPN pays on a per click basis and it's really easy to get people to click on those little auctions with product pictures. Even though they aren't as transparent with how you earn as they used to be, this is still one of my top earning programs.
They canceled my account late June but I was lucky enough to get reinstated after changing my address to my Mexican residence. I know a lot of people don't like Amazon because of the 24 hour cookie but I still do pretty well with their program. I can usually hit 7-8% commission before the month ends so the commission isn't too bad, especially considering Amazon is what I believe to be one of the best converting merchants on the internet. Luckily for me Oscilloscopes also command a premium price tag that can run into $100′s of dollars which means a solid commission on a successful sale.
How Much Can I Earn With This?
I honestly have no idea but for every niche site that I do like this I would be totally happy with around $5 a day. If I could hit this goal after just a couple months it would easily have paid for itself and then I'd be in the green.
The Next Update
Stay tuned for next Sunday when I will reveal my domain name and you can get an idea on how exactly I set up these kinds of sites.

Hi everyone, sorry for the lack of posts, but it wasn't for the fact that I wasn't fishing, but I haven't had any days off for 30 days. It has been very busy down here. The wreck fishing has been very good with plenty of mutton snappers up to 25 pounds, but most around 10-18 pounds. The amberjacks have been spawning and the bite has been off the chain. One day we caught 30 almaco and amberjacks in 4 hours. That was insane; every drop got hit as soon as it hit the bottom. We also did very well during the full moon, and that cycle is coming again, the week of the full moon should be incredible for the muttons. I am looking to get plenty of them this spawn.
Dolphins have been sporadic, but our tuna fishing is really good in the mornings and afternoons. Most of the fish are around 10-15 pounds, nice eaters. I have gotten a few in the 20's but only a few. Each time we went tuna fishing we caught more than my clients knew what to do with. But no worries, my friends filled in to take the leftovers. I expect the dolphin to show up any day now, so stay posted, I will let you know when they arrive in full force. Since we caught so many 25+ pounders last year, I believe the ones we didn't catch will be close to 50 pounds this year. I expect to catch plenty of 40+ fish this year so be prepared to do some battling.
For those of you who aren't aware of the deep drop closure, we can no longer target queen snapper, tilefish or snowy grouper, but we can still hit the barrel fish and the rose fish, so I plan on attacking those spots while we are out there dolphin fishing. If you haven't had a chance to eat any barrel fish you are missing out, it is exquisite. We are trying to get this closure over turned, but it is slow and tedious, but all of us fisherman, including my clients are writing their Congressman and telling them this is an unfair closure and is wrong.
The yellowtail bit really well this week, but with such a large shark presence we were not able to get the big ones to the boat before they got eaten. We were hooking 3-5 pound yellowtails and they fight hard, and it isn't easy to get them to the boat even without the shark presence. As they gear up to spawn the bite should only get better.
Keep in touch drop me a line every once in a while and let me know who everything is going. Take care and keep fighting the closures that NOAA has been dropping in our lap this year.

Can Charles Taylor verdict heal the horrors of war?
A signature atrocity of the rebels that overran Sierra Leone in the 1990s was the chopping off of limbs with a machete or axe, often by child soldiers.
"They caught me and stamped on my chest," Edward Conteh told me.
"I had gone out to try to find food for my children. We hadn't eaten in three days.
"One of the rebels brought an axe and chopped off my left hand - not in one blow. It took five or six."
Mr Conteh is now the chairman of the Amputees' Association, which campaigns for help for those left limbless.
"Start Quote
End Quote Ibrahim Ben Kargbo Sierra Leone's information ministerMost Sierra Leoneans believe that without Charles Taylor in power in Liberia, there would not have been a war in Sierra Leone"
"It is my strong conviction that everything that happened to Sierra Leone is down to Charles Taylor," he said, referring to the former president of neighbouring Liberia, who is awaiting Thursday's verdict in his war crimes trial in The Hague.
"I heard him on the radio threatening to make Sierra Leone taste the bitterness of war. Well we tasted it," he said.
Mr Taylor is accused of arming and funding the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebels, led by Foday Sankoh, who died in a Sierra Leonean prison cell awaiting trial.
The indictment sheet against Mr Taylor accuses him of crimes against humanity, mass killings, sexual violence, abductions and the use of child soldiers, all of which he denies.
He has been on trial for four years. If convicted, it will be the first time a former head of state has been found guilty of war crimes by an international court.
Complacent?Sierra Leone's Civil War
- Lasted 11 years, officially ending in 2002
- Some 50,000 people were killed
- Thousands more had their bodies mutilated by RUF rebels who waged a campaign of amputation and rape
- West African, UN and British troops were drawn in to help stop the fighting
- RUF leader Foday Sankoh, captured in 2000, died before he could be tried by a UN-backed war crimes court
- The Special Court for Sierra Leone has had found eight people guilty, from all groups involved in the conflict, for war crimes
- Liberia's ex-leader Charles Taylor is the last person to be tried by the court, accused of funding the RUF
"Most Sierra Leoneans believe that without Charles Taylor in power in Liberia, there would not have been a war in Sierra Leone," Information Minister Ibrahim Ben Kargbo told me.
"It is no secret that we Sierra Leoneans see Charles Taylor as the man who actually encouraged Foday Sankoh to spread his violent activities.
"Now that Charles Taylor is out of the way, we can easily and safely say that with his absence we are beginning to enjoy peace without having to look over our shoulders."
Many see this as complacent.
The war had its roots in the failure of the post-independence Sierra Leonean state.
Successive post-colonial governments plundered the country's resources, corruption was widespread and poverty deeply entrenched, especially among the rural young.
But 10 years after the war ended, you sense the wheels of recovery starting to turn.
I have visited Yonibana, a village about three hours' drive from the capital, Freetown, several times.
It is home to about 4,000 people, most of them living in thatched huts of mud brick.
Rebels tore through here in an orgy of looting and burning. Many of the houses that were destroyed have yet to be rebuilt.
Nothing much happens or changes in Yonibana.
There is no economy to speak of - the young are educated in the local school but there are no jobs waiting for them at the end.
Now that looks likely to change.
The son of a former paramount chief, Rev Sulaymani Kamara, told me the local authorities have just signed a huge development contract with a Chinese company.
The plan, he said, is to build a rubber plantation, a pineapple plantation, and rice fields to supply resource hungry China.
The ground here is fertile, and water is plentiful.
Rev Kamara believes it will be one of the biggest single investments in Sierra Leone since independence and that it will bring thousands of new jobs.
Outside Lunsar, a town bitterly fought over during the war, there is more evidence still.
Rich reservesThe London Mining Company has reactivated an iron ore mine that has been derelict since the 1960s.
It started producing ore again in December. The company says iron ore reserves here will last 25 years.
"The first phase will last four years," the mine manager Gerhard Hermann said.
