How a Private Label SEO Firm Can Elevate a Company's Online Status
Today, 36 percent of smaller companies will pay for analytics and publishing tools, which includes the highly popular and increasingly relevant search engine optimization web based marketing tool. Through SEO, these smaller businesses start to understand how their marketing profiles should look online and where they should be placing their marketing dollars for online success. And through a private label SEO firm, whether they know it or not, they can achieve the results they desire.
What a private label seo company does is take a company's existing online profile and give it a boost. Only here, it does it under the auspices of an Seo reseller charged with bringing them in as clients. Companies that resell SEO will select an SEO reseller program that makes sense to them and that can easily be incorporated into their existing marketing or web design based offerings. Through that program, they target these smaller businesses that need stronger online brands and that will pay just about anything to attain the results they are so wishing to have.
A private label SEO provider often is used in these scenarios because SEO outsourcing provides far more benefits to all parties. A company wanting more online exposure would be wise to incorporate both SEO and other marketing tools like web design and traditional marketing solutions to pull everything together neatly and tie it with a pretty bow. Conversely, a company just hiring an SEO provider directly will get just that and nothing else. A private label SEO can provide so much more in the form of a reseller.
Companies that solicit the assistance of a private label SEO, which can be called a white label seo too, often do so because they lack either the talent from their own employees, the tools and technologies, or the time to devote to it. They normally go with a private label SEO out of sheer need and not preference, though they often are happy to know that a private label company offers the same knowledge and experience related to SEO as any other provider. A private label provider knows, for instance, that directory submissions are broken down into the three categories of manual, semi automatic and automatic, and that Google's infamous PageRank algorithm was named after its chief executive officer and founder, Larry Page. Or that the now famous nofollow value was created in 2005 to originally keep spam out of comments pages in blogs. The knowledge is the same, if not better. The delivery is just what is different.

Development Coaching
Reiki is a widely known and used method of stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. In Japanese it means "universal life energy", and it is also a word that refers to a natural healing system.
Reiki is based on the idea that living things have a special energy flowing through them called life energy. When your life energy is high you will feel strong, confident, resourceful, more relaxed, grounded and less likely to become ill. When it is low, you will often feel tired, more easily affected by stress and less resistant to illness. A Reiki treatment is a way to increase and balance your life energy.
It is important to note that while almost everyone experiences relaxation and improvements of various kinds, healing results cannot be guaranteed. Reiki practitioners are not trained in diagnosis and will not predict any specific outcomes from treatment. Therefore it is recommended if someone is concerned about their symptoms they should see a medical practitioner.
Reiki nicely complements coaching, its relaxing nature can be helpful to people especially at difficult times. Reiki treatments can bring feelings of peace, clarity, centeredness and an ability to cope better with life challenges. It also promotes self-development.
Evie is a master practitioner and teacher of the Usui system of Reiki. She offers Reiki treatments and one-to-one tuition in Guildford.

Star of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Clark Gregg, revealed season 5 will dive into the cosmic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in surprising ways. Throughout its first four seasons, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has tackled a number of genres ranging from spy thriller and science fiction to fantasy and horror. Season 4 alone included three arcs, one following Ghost Rider, one focused on Life-Model Decoys, and one that sent the agents into an alternate reality called the Framework in which Hydra defeated S.H.I.E.L.D. Though season 4 blended a number of different genres, it was one of the most well received by both critics and fans alike.
Now, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is gearing up to launch season 5 later this fall, and the Marvel TV series had a big presence at this past weekend's New York Comic Con. They unveiled the season 5 premiere date as well as the first 20 minutes of the premiere episode - though the latter was only for attendees of the show's panel. As evidenced by the final scene in the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4 finale and the first part of the season 5 premiere, the show is sending its agents into space, allowing them to explore the cosmic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Related: A Detailed Description of SHIELD Season 5 Footage
During a roundtable interview at NYCC attended by Screen Rant, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. star Clark Gregg, who plays Agent Phil Coulson, spoke about the show's change in setting and whether the series employs any tropes from the science fiction genre in regards to space:
I grew up watching those shows - Star Trek, those things. I wouldn't say that [season 5] is like that, but to have it really bridge into more the sci-fi, cosmic part of the Marvel [Cinematic] Universe in ways that will be surprising to people, it's really thrilling.
Based on descriptions of the first 20 minutes of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premiere, we already know there will be two kinds of aliens introduced early on in season 5 - though that number could increase, of course, as the season moves along. While there's also a new character introduced that wears a costume resembling Guardians of the Galaxy's Star-Lord, there haven't been any confirmed connections between Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5 and either of Marvel Studios' cosmic movies. Of course, that may change as the season progresses since the movie branch of the MCU is preparing to launch Avengers: Infinity War next summer.
In terms of what fans can expect from this cosmic storyline, Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb revealed during the roundtables that viewers will be finding out what's going on at the same time as Coulson and his team:
In previous seasons, the audience knows what's going on. Like, for example, you knew who the Ghost Rider was, what the Ghost Rider was doing, he was running around and then S.H.I.E.L.D. had to catch up to that and go 'Who is this guy? What's going on with this guy? What's happening?' This year, which is something we've never done before, is boom! They're in space, they don't know where they are and the mystery of what is going to happen, the audience is going along with them on that. So as they learn, you learn. So it's one of those things where you're not catching up you're actually with our agents on this adventure.
So once Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5 premieres later this year, fans should expect to be in the dark about what exactly is going on with Coulson and the other members of his team - but that could ultimately make the season that much more enjoyable of an adventure. Though we do know some of what to expect from their next storyline - like the Kree will return to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - there's still plenty we don't know. And since this is Marvel, fans can expect the show to keep a tight lid on what exactly to expect when Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns for season 5.
Next: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Cast Don't Know If They'll Crossover To The Movies
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5 premieres Friday December 1st at 9pm on ABC.

Catawba County News
Eller Introduces Newton: Then and Now
Published: March 13, 2019
If you're a local resident or just love history in general, you'll be fascinated by the chance to meet author Richard Eller and learn about his new book, Newton: Then and Now.
Eller, a history professor at Catawba Valley Community College, has been involved in documenting Catawba County's past for many years, and his latest book showcases the development of the county seat over many generations. It's rich with photographs from past decades, juxtaposed with contemporary images.
While the book as a standalone work is interesting enough, Eller's presentation will make it even more meaningful. He'll share his process of researching and compiling local history, and he'll offer his perspective on creating the book and adding his voice to Newton's portrayal through the years.
Familiar figures who contributed to the book include writer, editor, historian, and longtime resident Sylvia Kidd Ray; photographer Clayton Joe Young; and Dr. Amber Clawson Albert, former executive director of the Historical Association of Catawba County.
Among the topics the book covers are the lasting power of Courthouse Square, the loss of Catawba College, the constant change of the business community, the demise of grand downtown hotels, the shifts in location of the Observer News Enterprise, the constancy of the State Theater, the shuttering of the North Newton business strip, the growth of local churches and the library, and the reassuring presence of notable Newton residences.
The presentation by Richard Eller will take place at 7 pm on Thursday, March 21 at the Main Library in Newton.

Office Party
Stephen Whitehead
Distant tinny music filtered along the metal corridors of the Epsilon Class Explorer Vessel, each note collecting a thin coating of rust as it went. The vast pressure of vacuum caused dissonant groans as the panels of the ship's skin shifted to bare the load.
Vast pressure of vacuum, she thought, gloomily. Vast, silent pressure. Briefly she toyed with the idea of spacing the entire worthless lot of them as they gyrated and flirted their way towards a paralytic coma.
"Christmas..." she sighed.
She'd grown up an Ep-Ex rat, living her entire life in the confined space of a ship designed exclusively to travel as far and as cheap as possible. Not for her verdant vistas. Even when they found an interesting spot in the galaxy, she stayed firmly in the cabin which was home, work and comfort. She flew. The crew explored.
The crew. Every three years a new bunch of candidates. Slung deep through the void on a gravity well and then cruising the solar currents in search of something new, interesting and, preferably, extraordinarily valuable. Bunch of warp-drive wannabes. Not one had any idea what their life would become. They dreamt of glory and adventure but soon realised they'd have to drink away the next three years of their life or go mad in the dark expanse she so loved.
"The child is a King, the Carollers sing,
The old has passed, there's a new beginning..."
Not that drinking your life away was always a bad idea, she thought to herself, head dropping in defeat.
The damp tinsel tacked with hot glue and hope to the bulkheads wafted in the scant airflow afforded by the recirculation unit. The goldish fronds clumping like some wet animal.
It was at that point her entirely relative calm was broken.
Judd was a typical adventuring space pirate quarterback. Why a six foot four pile of muscle and teeth would take a job in the cramped confines of a space craft, she couldn't....well, actually, she could guess. On his bare bicep was a passable representation of the ship complete with the date of departure and, rather optimistically she felt, return. This was to be his great story. No doubt he had already picked out the rocking chair from which he would recite great tales of daring do to the hundred or so grandchildren he could already name. Juddson. Judd Jnr Jnr. Juddette.
"Join us!" He gestured with a foamy bottle of many-times-recycled beer.
"I'd rather not." She turned away to the rows of instruments – lights with every right and reason to flash multicoloured. This, however, did not deter him.
"Captain, I really feel like we've not hit it off like I wish we had..."
She aimed an eyebrow at him, usually enough to send any one of them scurrying. But not Judd, probably thanks to numbing cheer. He merely slumped into the worn foam sling-shaped navigator's perch, his bulky knee thudding against her dainty zero-g adapted joint.
" I've got a story for you!" he enthused, his face bursting into a sly grin.
"Ooooohhhh..." his face fell and she marginally corrected the nosedive of her response, "...good." Her tone didn't rise with any hint of enthusiasm, but a lack of outright threat seemed enough to convince Judd that his story was perhaps the greatest idea he'd ever had. To be fair, she thought, this could well be the case.
"There was this other Epsilon class a few years back a mate of mine was on, came across a habited world covered in the greenest grass you've ever seen. Fruit growing everywhere. Only two species of sentient life on the whole planet – some sea mammals look like bright orange whales filtering algae in the seas – and these furry little primates who harvest fruit on the land. No biggie, right? No real trade potential – the algae wasn't bad, but eat a bowl and you end up as orange as the whales."
Despite herself, the captain snorted – the irony of a drink-flushed boy criticising those of unusual hue was unintentionally hilarious.
"No language, no buildings, no clothes even. They spent all year wandering around naked eating fruit and getting fat. They sound simple, right? But they had this weird orb thing, some kind of computer." He flicked idly at a kumquat-sized glittery bauble precariously attached to the main engine core release. " Didn't seem to actually do anything for them, but every few days the primates came over and pressed their hand against it," he let the shiny ball roll against his hand, "and there's this flash of light and...well...nothing. Tech guys figured it to be some kind of scanner."
She was impressed, thinking that the orb would turn out to be a weapon and the story inevitably descend into epic, culminating in an intergalactic battle for Truth, Honour and probably some kind of apple based pudding.
"So, anyway, as they're observing, winter comes by," he gestured around at the tinsel, as if it spoke of something as organic as a season, "and by come by, I mean WHAM, two days later the grass is all sparkly white and even the seas have iced over. The whales dived deep and entered some kind of hibernation. But top side is where it gets interesting."
He leaned closer, voice dropping. She could smell the stale booze on his breath and the biological results of scant water reserves. His eyes, though, still sparkled and she found herself unwilling to halt the story.
"When warm, the little guys were all spread out across the land. But as soon as it got chilly, they scurried back to the orb, clustering around it like it was some great big heater. And the techs said that yes, it was giving off a faint heat. Like, maybe, a couple cups of coffee-worth! But still, they snuggled up close to it, maybe ten thousand of 'em. We threw up an IR filter, and sure enough, right at the centre they were warm as an ostrich in clover,"
She blinked, but he didn't pause. Or explain.
"...and they kept moving, milling around like a mass of electrons circling the nucleus of an atom. But those little electrons, they started to fade."
He flicked the sparkly decoration, sending it spiralling around madly. Light caught and flickered across the room. Irritated, she grabbed at it, carefully lifted it from the bank of switches, placed it under the heel of her boot, and with one deliberate squeeze, shattered the delicate ball.
He gulped.
"Get on with it, okay?"
"Okay," he mumbled, suddenly much less sure of himself. "Er, the ones on the edge started to die. Just not warm enough, right? But their friends didn't stop to mourn or bury or burn or whatever. They just kept moving with three or four dying every hour. Soon there was a thick wall of furry frozen bodies surrounding this circle of little guys buzzing about. And the more died, the less the wind got in. But the less heat they were all producing. So it kept pretty stable. And this carried on for well over a hundred cycles, them getting thinner and thinner and the bodies piling up."
She almost asked why no one did anything to stop this, but everyone knew that you couldn't interfere. You could convince them to sign away half the wealth of their entire planet in exchange for a plastic singing Santa (and given the distant rendition of 'Rocking Around the Christmas Tree', she could almost support that policy), but stop a race from wiping themselves out and suddenly you weren't respecting their cultural autonomy.
"And all the time they kept touching this orb thing. It was only by the time the numbers were way down, less than a hundred, we realised that the flash of light changed with the different beings. What's more, the shorter the flash, the closer to the edge they then went. The longer the flash, the closer to the centre they stayed. Until finally only two were left. And on that day, the winter lifted. The grass was green in a few hours. But," suddenly the greasy smile returned, "there was one thing the pair were left to do..."
She looked at him, could barely bring herself to say it. "Repopulate the planet?"
His face split open, emanating an horrific glee like radiation.
"Well I thought we might just start with dinner, but OKAY!"
As he leaned towards her, she thrust an arm forward, her nimble fingers catching his flushed nose like a prize salmon.
"All that was some kind of," she paused, letting sufficient bile rise to colour her words bright green, "COME ON?"
He was struck dumb, the stinging pain of his predicament causing tears to leap to his suddenly fearful eyes.
She sighed, letting go of him abruptly so that he tumbled from his seat and landed in a crumpled mess on the chequer plate deck.
"Christmas." she muttered under her breath as she left the room.

Hello Lovelies!
Today I am wearing W7's "Salt n Pepper". As you may have noticed from yesterday's blog post this is one of the gorgeous polishes I picked up at the weekend from the local market. I was so excited to try this one out as it reminded me a lot of some indie polishes that are currently on the scene but difficult to get hold of!
Salt n Pepper is a white based polish with matte black glitters throughout. The application was great and required two coats for full coverage. I love the way the top layer still shows the bottom layer glitters but they are suspended and greyish in appearance. I think the name Salt n Pepper is very appropriate.
I am loving this polish and will be posting swatches for the other two I bought later this week!
So far as I am aware this polish is new on the scene and I think it is going to be a big hit! It cost £1.99 (BARGAIN) for 15ml.
What do you think? X

When it comes to stockings, there's only one thing I want as a stuffer- the House of Holland burger keychain {£40}. It is just meant to be mine. Do you know a bigger burger queen? I'm obsessed and am holding a rather extensive collection these days of burgers in fashion. Does that make me sad? If it does, throw me to the sad side of the street. I'm burger bonkers and proud!

One of my favorite phrases is making room for empathy. Room for empathy is about giving staff the time in their workflows to be compassionate and to deliver care which is not only clinically competent but emotionally uplifting as well. But that's hard to do.
It's hard because the work of providing care is increasingly complex. We've got EMRs with screens of data. We've got sign off sheets, time outs, forms, papers, phone calls, results, and, frankly, CYA work. Those things take time. So what get's cut? Empathy. We cut out the simple things like walking someone to their destination rather than pointing. We cut out sitting with someone who looks concerned (so we look at our shoes or iPhones in the hallway). It's a problem
There are two main ways to make more room for empathy. First, we could hire more staff. More staff (nurses, care givers, techs, managers, administrators even) mean more bandwidth. Many hands make light work. But we probably aren't going to get more staff. Reimbursement is dropping, and there is a push to be more efficient. Hospitals are trying to see if they could survive on Medicare reimbursement rates. (Remember, Medicare pays, on average, about 80% of what treatment costs, so we have to cut about 20% of cost out of hospitals).
The other way we can make room is by eliminating work which does not add value. Productivity gurus say we should work smarter, not harder. I'm increasingly interested in the Lean methodology as a framework for evaluating how we do our work and determining if it adds value, or simply takes up valuable time. So, I've been trying to learn more about Lean.
I found Mark Graban's Lean Blog which led me to his Lean Blog Podcast, a regular, downloadable audio show about Lean. In the most recent episode, Dr. John Toussaint of ThedaCare, discusses the importance Lean methodologies in healthcare.
It's a fantastic listen and should inspire anyone looking for ways to make room for empathy and return the focus to patient and staff experience.

Do you know someone who is having a baby and you want to get something special? Well, a diaper cake makes a great gift for a new mom.
A diaper cake is simply a bunch of diapers that are stacked together to resemble a cake. They are decorated with baby items like teething rings, rattles and baby wipes. Once the baby is born, mom can take pieces of diapers off the cake and use them. It's a very practical and fun gift for the new mom.
PHOTOS: Making a Diaper Cake
If you are the crafty type-you can make this fabulous gift by yourself. It's super easy and fun.
Just follow these step-by-step instructions.
What you need:
- 65-90 diapers ( at least size 2 or 3)
- 8 oz. baby bottle
- 4 oz. baby bottle
- 70-95 rubber bands
- Five additional big rubber bands
- Roll of 1/2 to 1.5 inch wide ribbon
- Hot glue gun
- Baby toiletries
- Stuffed animal
Step 1: Start by rolling the diapers. When you roll a diaper, you wrap it with a rubber band so that it will keep its shape. Try to keep the prints on the diaper hidden.
Step 2: To make the bottom tier of the diaper cake. I decided to use an 8 ounce bottle-filled with candy for the mommy. Start wrapping the diaper logs around the base with the rubber bands. This will serve as the first layer of the diaper cake.
Step 3: Next, you need to expand your bottom base. You can do that by adding more diaper logs around the first tier. Make sure you wrap rubber bands around the tier to make sure it's secure.
Step 4: After you are done with the bottom tier, we need to start making the second tier of the diaper cake. The second tier will be smaller than the bottom tier—to resemble a cake. Start off the same way you did with the first tier. Make sure everything is secured with a rubber band.
Step 5: If this is going to be a 3 tiered cake, be sure to use a 4 oz baby bottle. Grab about 8 diapers and use a rubber band to wrap around it.
Step 6: The is the fun part — decorating. Use a wide ribbon to wrap each tier. The ribbon should hide the rubber bands. Once you have that done, you can further decorate the cake with more ribbon and bows. I like to put little travel size baby toiletries in the cake. Finish it off with a stuffed animal at the top of the cake.

Could we have a little more context, please? The phrase is not a standard expression, and seeing more of how and where it is used would probably help you in getting your answer. I could guess right now, but I wouldn't be anywhere near exact.

Like previous titles in the game the setting takes place on Mars where a research facility has been overrun with a demonic presence. A corporation known as UAC were conducting research on limitless energy by tapping into the hell dimension and converting its energy, for the betterment of humanity of course when things inevitably go south as they do. The story starts rather abruptly and with virtually no introduction as our hero, pulls himself out of an ancient sarcophagus in a Martian research facility. Soon you discover that two thirds of station's 60 000 inhabitants have been possessed and transformed into demonic warriors. You then embark on sealing the rift between mars and hell created by a cybernetically enhanced mad scientist.
And that pretty much sums up the entirety of the story. Are you looking for a slow build in story and narrative? Or you looking for an epic retrospective on our hero and learn his true motives? Then look somewhere else, because DOOM guy is angry DOOM guy is out to wreck shit when people tell him not too. But most importantly DOOM guy is here to kick demonic ass, in super violent and creative ways. DOOM's story only exists to justify its action, rather than being a device to spin a detailed and cohesive story. Most of the story gets told through a few cut scenes, audio vignettes that pop up between missions, and as you're running around slaughtering the demonic hordes. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with this, since DOOM is clearly an action oriented game.
The first thing that struck me was DOOM's tremendous sense of speed. This is one very fast playing game FPS game. There are no cover mechanics in this game, and certainly no hiding spots from the spawning demonic hordes. If you stand still for even a second, you will get over-run by the hordes and die a quick bloody death. DOOM's biggest and most enjoyable new feature is its glory kills. When you shoot at a demon, you wear down its health to a point where it starts to glow. And that is your cue to kill it kill said demon in the most glorious gory fashion possible, which so happens to release much needed health and armor. And believe me you will need it in this game. While most levels are typically littered with extra ammo and health power-ups.
The action is so intense during the entire game, and you are wading through so many demons that you inevitably need to keep topping up your health bar and armor by performing glory kills. Another new aspect to the game is upgradable weaponry and armor. But while the guns may be old classics we have come to know and love, they have been given a modern twist. Each one has a couple of secondary firing modes that can be installed by finding field drones scattered around each level, and they can also be upgraded to beef up their fire power. For example, the gatling gun can be transformed into a turret. And the shotgun can be outfitted to shoot explosive shells. You'll likely recognize the weapons we use to dispatch them, too.
All the classical weapons make a return. The pistol, shotgun, plasma rifle, chainsaw, chaingun, rocket launcher, and the ridiculously powerful BFG9000. What's more you can also upgrade your armor with keys pulled from the suits of fallen soldiers you find. You will be able to improve your stats like dexterity, equipment, and abilities. Which in the long runs increases your survivability when face by the demon hordes. The controls are fast and responsive in the game. You can jump on platforms fairly easily and there is no input lag from the Playstation 4 controller. It does take some time to get accustomed to the speed at which the demons fly in your direction but after only 30 minutes into the game, I was cutting through them like a hot knife through butter.
With regards to DOOM's graphics, this game looks absolutely stunning. Especially considering that the consoles are heavily under powered when compared to their PC brother. The environments are extremely well structured and designed. The textures are rich with detail, and pop right out at you. The special and environmental effects such fire and explosions nicely add to the overall design and feel of the game. Many of the assets you found in the original games also make a return, although now it is in far better quality. Even things like the designs of the walls and door are all made to look like the original game. Overall this is a great example of how a AAA game should pay homage to its original roots.
The soundtrack is extremely fitting for a modern DOOM game and add to the heart pounding action, however it might not appeal to everyone with its grungy heavy metal undertones. The sound affects consists of electronic screeches, ambient bass, distortion and other un-holey monster noises which sounds even more terrifying when you play with a high quality headset. The campaign lasts for about 15 hours, and I can't remember being so impressed with a first person shooter since the original BioShock. DOOM's campaign is considerably stronger than I expected and that really caught me off guard. Truly a worthy reboot of a timeless classic. It is loud, over the top hyper violent and in your face like a bull in a china shop.

Reps. McCaul and King release House GOP report on effectiveness of nation's fusion centers
Funding for fusions centers
Reps. Michael McCaul (R-TX) and Peter King (R-NY), the current and past chairmen of the House Homeland Security Committee, on July 26 released a majority staff report entitled, The National Network of Fusion Centers, which details the Committee's findings and recommendations regarding fusions centers across the country.
A national network of fusion centers (the Network) was developed in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks to close the gaps in information sharing between federal, state and local law enforcement and emergency responders, explained a news release issued by McCaul and King. Currently, the Network includes 78 fusion centers across 49 states, three territories and the District of Columbia.
Fusion centers serve as hubs of strategic analysis and information sharing where federal, state, and local agencies are all represented in one location. State and local crime data is coordinated, gathered and reviewed to determine if there is any potential connection to terrorist activity. In addition, federal terrorism-related information is shared with state and local law enforcement personnel.
The Committee's review concludes that the Network is not functioning as cohesively as it should, and fusion centers are facing numerous challenges that prevent the Network from realizing its full potential to help secure the homeland, said the release.
Over the course of 19 months, the Committee logged 147 hours in meetings during visits to 32 fusion centers, in addition to briefings and discussions held with federal partners and the National Fusion Center Association.
The full report is available by clicking here.
"Fusion centers were created after 9/11 to correct the failure of information sharing between federal agencies and state and local law enforcement," said Rep. McCaul, in a prepared statement. "While much progress has been made, breakdowns in information sharing continue today and the terrorist attacks at Ford Hood and the Boston Marathon are painful examples. The Committee's evaluation found that while the Network of fusion centers is a vital part of our nation's counterterrorism efforts, it is not currently functioning at its full potential."
"For example, while it is more important than ever for federal fusion center partners to work together to increase information sharing with state and local law enforcement, the FBI is actually removing analysts and information sharing tools from them," McCaul continued. "This and other important issues are examined in the report in an effort to identify ways to improve our counterterrorism efforts. The goal of this report is to aid fusion centers in filling in their capability gaps. I urge them, and their federal, state and local partners to implement the report's recommendations to ensure the Network reaches its full potential to help secure the homeland."
Rep. King added his own thoughts: "Nearly 12 years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the tragic events in Boston highlight that more work needs to be done to connect the dots. Ensuring critical information sharing between federal, state and local law enforcement is vital for national counterterrorism and homeland security efforts."
"This comprehensive report offers 25 recommendations to improve information sharing and analysis, enhance the role of fusion centers, ensure that emergency response providers are fully incorporated into the process, and tear down remaining intelligence stovepipes," King noted. "My subcommittee will continue to work with federal, state, and local entities to ensure that these issues are addressed."
The report makes 25 recommendations of actions to be taken by fusion centers, States, DHS, FBI and DOD, in the following areas:
Comprehensive strategies and measures of success -- The Network needs a comprehensive state and locally-driven national strategy for fusion centers, in addition to a federal strategy for fusion centers to steer federal coordination and support for the Network. Performance metrics should be developed and used as part of these strategies to guide state grant expenditures and federal resource allocation.
Funding -- Once a national strategy is formed, DHS should engage in thorough discussion with stakeholders to determine whether the federal government should more directly fund fusion centers and review other grant and funding models to determine if a different model would be more effective.
Fusion center analysis -- To enhance the coordination, identification and analysis of information, fusion centers should consider creating national mission analysis units, increasing Suspicious Activity Reporting trend analysis, and enhancing critical infrastructure and key resources programs. In addition, in a state with multiple fusion centers, one center should be responsible for the integration of analysis from across all fusion centers within the state.
Outreach -- Fusion centers should work to increase partnerships with entities outside of the law enforcement community, such as the fire, emergency medical services, and public health sectors. In addition, fusion centers and federal partners should work together to strengthen terrorism liaison officers programs.
Access to information and systems -- There is a disparity in security clearances granted to state and locals from DHS and the FBI. Federal partners should take steps to equalize security clearances to foster increased information sharing.
Federal partners play a vital role in ensuring the unified operation of the Network and the report makes particular recommendations to DHS's Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) and the FBI. Specifically, the report recommends that the FBI make a more concerted effort to ensure its field office are held accountable for robust cooperation and information sharing with fusion centers and state and local law enforcement. This effort should include more stringent oversight of information sharing occurring between its field offices and the fusion centers.
In addition, the report recommendations that I&A work with congressional oversight committees to address challenges to the analytic production approval process and the intelligence officer and reports officer programs. Furthermore, I&A should conduct reviews of the structuring of the Office of Analysis and the management of field officers to ensure analysts and field officers are is being effectively deployed.

Wedding Suits For Brides Who Want a Modern Look
Wedding dresses are the traditional attire for brides, but why not break the rules and rock a wedding suit like these stylish women?
When it comes to wedding suits, it's usually the groom we think of. However, a huge trend that is up and coming this year is bridal wedding suits.
Brides are now rocking anything from a grey tailored suit, to white fitted trousers and killer wedding heels.
Here at Hitched we love the fact that this trend is emerging and we have put together some of our favourite brides who rocked wedding suits to inspire modern women who want to embrace an alternative wedding style on their big day.
Modern Couple With Style
No one can take away the style from these two. The beautiful couple really know how to rock a wedding dress and a wedding suit to perfection and this picture shows us exactly that. The wedding suit that one of the bride's is wearing has been chosen in a cream colour that brings warmth and grace to the table. Her metallic shoes totally complement the other bride's wedding dress sparkle and we love the finishing touch of her buttonhole flowers. The couple look like they are totally in awe of each other and we think that they are serious relationship goals.

Pretty in Pink
If there was ever an award for the bride with the highest level of style, it would have to go to this woman. Her ivory tailored suit with pink floral patterns on the hem is seriously out of this world. Her style is one which we definitely want to steal. The high heels she is rocking, along with her gorgeous rose bouquets are insanely pretty and we can't help but feel in awe of her wedding day look.

First Dance Kiss
Love is definitely in the air between these two brides. The bridal suit that one of them is wearing has such a rustic wedding feel to it that we adore. The fitted trousers are a really flattering shape for her and the tan coloured cord waistcoat really stands out to us as far as bridal wedding suits go. Her new wife's wedding dress is a simple shape and made from a thick lace which definitely ties in with the wedding suit. They look like a really gorgeous couple to us!

The Converse Couple
Firstly, we love this pair because they have rocked super cool Converse trainers at their wedding – how trendy! Matching shoes is a gorgeous same sex wedding idea which looks fantastic, but now it's time to discuss the bride's suit. She has opted for a dark grey, skinny fit suit with pinstripe lining and a shirt to match. The pastel colours on the shirt match her killer kicks and we love the feminine touch she has accessorised with – that lush pearl necklace and earrings.

Women in White
What a beautiful setting this summer wedding had. Lots of greenery and pretty petals are the perfect photographic accessory for the pair. We love the bridal suit that one of the women is wearing. The white jacket and trousers combo couldn't look more stunning next to her bride and it is made even cuter by the pair of them wearing matching floral necklaces which even tie in with the bride's bouquet. The style in this shot is unquestionable and we can only imagine how much they cherish the picture.

Wedding Bliss
It doesn't take a genius to see the copious amounts of love that is between the bride and groom in these pictures. The look of affection on both of their faces says it all and they look pretty stylish whilst doing so. The bride is rocking a black trouser and velvet waistcoat combo with a pastel shirt that seriously stands out. She and her new husband are wearing matching cravats to show their unity and sync their wedding outfits. Her quirky style is so appreciated by her other half and we love the individuality of them both.

Matching Marriage Suits
This glowing couple chose to match their wedding outfits to each other's and it has seriously worked for them. The neutral coloured suits with the white shirts give off a look of innocence and subtlety which comes across so stylish. We adore the yellow flower pin they both have and just by looking at this image you can see the unity between these two. The slight differ in their shirt collars shows the individuality in their styles, whilst still keeping a similar look for their beautiful wedding.

A Proud Bride
The look of pride and love on this bride's face walking down the aisle with her new wife is so heart-warming. Her crisp white wedding suit looks so smart and stylish next to her bride's vintage wedding dress. Their matching white bouquets look stunning and complement both outfits. The gorgeous couple have managed to sport opposing styles which completely go together and no one can deny it. We love the way this bride has rocked her suit, and the black buttons to match her shoes give it a real edge.

Red Bus Loving
Orange really is the magic colour in this picture and the couple are pulling it off fabulously. We love that the groom's braces and tie are a perfect match to the orange wedding flowers in the bride's bouquet and the big red bus transport in the background really sets the scene too. This funky couple look amazing, especially the bride. Her ivory suit jacket has wide fit sleeves and a gold fastening button for a more vintage look. Her bright hair and vibrant look makes her totally able to do the wedding-suit-look absolute justice.

The Cool-Factor
We just love how cool this bride is in her wedding suit. Accompanied by her gorgeous new wife who is wearing a beautiful wedding dress, the bride is absolutely elated in these pictures. One reason she should definitely be smiling is due to how fabulous and on-trend she looks. From her funky ear stretchers to her indie-fitted suit, her look is one that is definitely worth stealing. She has gone for a shiny navy jacket with black trousers and funky loafers to match, which all comes together to create her insanely cool look.

Park Bench Prettiness
These are gorgeous pictures of a gorgeous couple. Both of these brides look incredibly stunning in their own unique ways and their surroundings add to the images. The bride has opted for a light grey suit with a waistcoat in a darker shade and white shirt which ties in really nicely with her other half's white wedding dress. The pink bouquet brightens up the scene and the odd white rose within the bouquet marries both outfits together. This bride's suit style is understated and sleek and we love it.

Smiles All Around
The style of this bride's wedding suit is so fabulous. We are obsessing over the combination of colour that she has chosen. Beige, black and green are a trio which we never would have considered before because on paper it shouldn't work. But this picture clearly says otherwise. We can't get enough of the splash of colour this bride has brought to her wedding and her new wife's simple wedding dress and pearl look is the perfect pairing for a quirky wedding suit in our eyes.

The Happy Couple
This gorgeous couple have managed to pull off such a fabulously classic look with their outfits and accessories. Their styles are different, yet so in sync with each other. The wedding dress and suit are the same colour, and the bride's lipstick is matched perfectly with her new wife's buttonhole (which we love). The best thing about the wedding suit in this picture is the black trimming and bow-tie. It gives the outfit a traditional twist and really suits her.

Subscribe To Matt Reeves Hired To Basically Remake They Live Updates
I've already subscribed
Back in October, when news regarding a remake of John Carpenter's They Live was already prevalent, producer Eric Newman was quoted saying that the updated version of the film wouldn't contain the special sunglasses that let the hero, played by 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper in the original, see aliens walking among us. Now Universal is either planning to make the same movie twice, or Matt Reeves has just been hired to direct the They Live remake.
Deadline is reporting that the studio has hired the Let Me In director to adapt and direct 8 O'Clock in the Morning, the short story by Ray Nelson that inspired the 1988 Carpenter film. In the story, a man wakes up and comes to the realization that our society has been infected and is being controlled by aliens. The article says that the project is not being considered a remake, but Newman and Marc Abraham (who mentioned the They Live remake while I was on a set visit for The Thing) are signed on as producers. Speaking about the project, Reeves said
"I saw an opportunity to do a movie that was very point-of-view driven, a psychological science fiction thriller that explores this guy's nightmare. "There could be a desperate love story at the center of this. Carpenter took a satirical view of the material and the larger political implication that we're being controlled. I am very drawn to the emotional side, the nightmare experience with the paranoia of Invasion of the Body Snatchers or a Roman Polanski-style film."Considering how sick of remakes everybody is, this is actually a pretty clever move by Universal. It's like adapting a more faithful version of Roderick Thorp's Nothing Lasts Forever and then saying that it's not a remake of Die Hard. They probably won't end up titling it They Live - even for brand recognition purposes - but know that when you put down your $8 that it's basically what you'll be getting.

On paper, there wasn't anything amiss with the old master bathroom in the Merritt Island, Florida, house that is now the HGTV Dream Home 2016. It had plenty of square footage, loads of storage, two (yes, two!) showers, two sinks and a jetted tub set into a huge window. But the '90s styling was all wrong: The walls wore an unfortunate shade of peach, the rustic wood floor competed with shiny faux-stone ceramic in the bath area, and a glass-block wall dated the whole design.
So when it came time to reimagine the master bath—this is the first HGTV Dream Home that's a renovation rather than a new build—lead designer Brian Patrick Flynn started from scratch. He knew he wanted to repeat the Hamptons-by-way-of-Key-West theme (and the whitewashed wood floors) that radiates from the main level while making the space notably different and echoing the serenity of the waterfront property.
His solution? All white.
Down came the orange walls, glass blocks and, yes, both showers, and in went storage, a tub and a shower—all white—in more practical spots.
"The building plan called for a freestanding soaking tub separate from the huge shower," Flynn says, "so it made sense, proportionately, to have the tub centered in the room and also centered on the French doors, so you can see the view outside while bathing."
Soft white and seashell-smooth, the egg-shaped molded-stone Roman soaking tub sits in the very center of the space; a floor-mounted Tesla tub filler anchors the bath as the room's showpiece. Soaking not your style? A glass partition separates the tub from an oversized walk-in shower loaded with HydraChoice body sprays that feel intense while actually using less water than standard sprays, thanks to H2Okinetic Technology. The shower also proves the luxe, all-white look doesn't have to come at the expense of your budget: The tile is classic, inexpensive subway tile, but laid in a herringbone pattern (and finished with white grout), it only looks pricey. A bonus: The tile's sheen acts as a mirror for natural light beaming in from the new balcony's French doors, bouncing all those Florida rays around the room.
"Natural light is everything in rooms where you get ready in the morning, and I kept that in mind when designing the master bathroom, so that the space would remain bright, light, open and airy—and also so that skin tones would read true to their values," Flynn says.
Next, Flynn united the two sinks—which had been positioned on opposite sides of the bathroom—in a single vanity area, dividing them with a storage column to give each person his or her own space. Below, white shaker-style cabinetry dons chrome hardware; chrome-and-white combination repeats above with mirrors wearing beachy whitewashed wood frames, and a simple-yet-graphic white penny tile backsplash let chrome, hands-free Tesla faucets shine. White-and-gray Quartz countertops help connect the chrome to all that white.
"I think that all white in wet spaces like bathrooms and kitchens is a wise investment since it will never go out of fashion. Plus, literally every other color in the spectrum can be used as an accent," Flynn says. "To keep all white from falling flat, just make sure you introduce rough and smooth textures, reflective and dull surfaces, a good mix of different shapes, and also play with scale. With all those elements in check, the white will have more depth."
Following his own advice, Flynn used a light hand with final details. He used teal accents—a rattan chair, a cluster of candles, a few towels—sparingly so they appear super bold. And the finishing touch is the crystal-bead chandelier that dangles over the bath, reaffirming the soaking tub as the room's focal point, and the space itself as a subtly opulent getaway-within-a-getaway.

In this project I will assess resistance to both Bacterial Wilt and Cucurbit Downy Mildew among selected cucumber and muskmelon seedstocks, and move forward with an ongoing project to develop a pickling cucumber that is resistant to both diseases.
The objectives of this project are to attain information about the corn earworm management strategies of organic sweet corn growers. This information will be used to achieve two outcomes: creation of an extension publication about corn earworm management strategies, aimed at organic farmers, and collection of data that will inform longer-term efforts of developing earworm-resistant sweet corn cultivars for organic farmers.
Conventional strawberry nurseries that fumigate soils with methyl bromide and other synthetic chemicals prior to propagation are currently the main source of transplants for both conventional and organic production systems. While many organic strawberry growers have expressed dissatisfaction with having to use conventional transplants, organic transplants simply are not commercially available. In part, commercial availability of organic transplants has been limited due to a lack of tested varieties as well as a lack of supply during the traditional planting season.
The purpose of this project has been to develop and evaluate our open-pollinated corn varieties for organic farmers. Our major efforts have been to increase the qualitative value and future marketability of these populations and also to increase their genetic diversity and agronomic value. This year we continued to breed white, yellow, red, and blue field corn varieties towards fitting niche markets that would give farmers that used this corn economic benefits.
Winter rye (Secale cereale L.) is an outstanding cover crop in its suppression of early season weeds. This suppression has been largely attributed to allelopathy; ryeís allelochemicals inhibit weed germination and growth. However, its lack of suppression of late season weeds and its inconsistent results between years and regions hinder the use of rye as a cover crop. This study, which is Part I of a 2-year project, explores a management method that may be used to increase weed suppression of rye by manipulating its allelopathic activity.
There is high demand for organic broccoli in the Southeast, as shown in a 2013 market survey by Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, which revealed that broccoli is one of the top organic produce items in short supply. Broccoli can be produced most anywhere in the spring and fall, but summer production is limited to cooler growing areas.
Researchers from Washington State University have been breeding and selecting hulless food barley types for almost a decade with the goal of releasing high yielding, nutritious barley varieties in this novel market class. Now in the final stages of this project, they will work to identify the advanced breeding lines most adapted to organic farmers in Washington State and Northern Idaho. In addition, the researcher

Big Bream on lures
Regan posted a topic in Fishing ReportsGday raiders With the recent school holidays I have just had, i took the opportunity to target some bream on my hobie outback. The bream put up an insane fight close to structure and lost many big ones to it. Most of the bream were caught on 40mm samaki spider prawns in bloodworm and also got some on the 50mm cranka crab in olive. The gear i used was my samaki archer 1-3kg rod and Daiwa freams LT reel with 6lb braid and 6lb flurocarbon leader. Here are some pics of the bream I got.

Weipa Lures Advice
Ledge posted a topic in Fishing ChatOK raiders. I need your collective knowledge to stock up before a trip to Weipa next month. We'll be doing all sorts of fishing from boats... rivers, reefs and out wider. Lots of casting around pylons and under bridges and markers etc. I need to stock up on lures for the trip. And especially good value lures (that work) since I expect we'll be losing a fair few. I know plastics are a good option due to their value, but I know next to nothing about plastics... no idea what brand, type, jig size etc.. Any experts that can point me in the right direction? I'm experienced in metals, hardbodies and poppers but does anyone know what works best in Weipa? And what sizes? I'll be taking 3 spinning combos... 80lb, 50lb and 20lb. Thanks team!

Avoca Rocks, Bonito Bonanza. Help!
Itscaca posted a topic in Fishing ChatG'day fellow Raiders, long time reader first time poster (I hope i've posted in the right section, please correct me if I haven't) I've been down Avoca rocks recently (almost every day for 2 weeks) morning and night, spinning metals for Bonito, such as, Halco twisty (15 up to 55 Grams) and a few others which names escape me. I usually throw my bigger rod out with 1.7 metre trace with gang hooks and float with a salted pilchard and leave to sit while I spin off spinners ledge. I have had zero luck! I was lucky enough to bump into Ray R (Top Bloke!), to whom i've met a few times here and there and he was kind enough give me a few pointers although, still no luck. Does anyone have any pointers? Am I doing anything wrong? People seem to be landing Bonito left, right and centre around me, it seems I just don't have "the magic touch" Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Raiders, Itscaca.

Epoxys and FCL Labo Lures
brett01 posted a topic in Tackle TalkHowdy Raiders, Just thought id start a thread about FCL labo lures as they are fantastic but there are few things about these lures that id like to discuss. Firstly they have amazing finishes and work amazing! however, they seem to not epoxied at all and damage very easily even just from the impact with the water when casting. As well a this they are made of a high density foam which is supposed to not take on water which is false i had a guy run over my ebipop today in his jetski and i lost the lure for about 2hrs by the time it was located it was barely on the surface with cup facing the sky vertical in the water and weighed a maybe 10 - 20% more. I would like to epoxy my FCL lures but i have a few minor concerns id like help with, A. the surface lures being slightly heavier and not being as effective B. the epoxy not working with the paint/foiling on the lure and causing bubbling. I plan to use Devcon 2 ton epoxy i have ordered from the states it seems to be what a lot of lure makers recommend that wont effect the paint. PLEASE IF ANYONE HAS TRIED THIS ON OTHER LURES OR CAN WEIGH IN ON THE SUBJECT OF EPOXYS or FCL LABO MUCH APPRECIATED. THANKS RAIDERS!!
Chasing Bust Ups in Sydney + Video
sam bros posted a topic in Fishing ReportsHi Raiders, Went out for a fish a few days ago but didn't post a report straight away because I wanted to make a video as well. Fishing with my brother as per usual and we launched the boat at Tunks just before sunrise. Tried to get a few squid but no luck, but did manage to get a few yakka. Plan was to try and target some kings with the live bait. We went near north head and managed to hook up a bonito on one of the yakkas but spat the hook near the boat, apart from that not much else was happening. This was until we saw heaps of birds working a patch of fish about a couple hundred metres away. We quickly motored over there and saw a huge football field sized school of salmon busting up all over the place. I always have a light rod with a small metal lure rigged up handy for times like this. Threw the 10g halco twisty out but was having no luck, the salmon just weren't interested at all. After a couple casts I changed the lure over to a very lightly weighted soft plastic in a sort of clear/greenish colour. We re positioned the boat so the wind was behind us, that way we could get the most distance on the cast. I casted it out and as soon as it hit the water it got smashed and I was onto a nice sized salmon. Now I'm using a very light outfit with only 6lb line and leader so I had to play it safe. The fish jumped several times and I was worried it was going to bust me off. But after a 15 minute fight, finally had it boat side and netted it. The salmon felt about 3kg and very healthy. We had a blast chasing the salmon around for the next hour and catching them on light tackle, their were a few frigate mackerel mixed in there as well. All the salmon were fat and looked very healthy. The swell and wind picked up by then and it became too uncomfortable so we went inside to try for some flathead. Tried a few spots for flathead using soft plastics but no luck. Ended up going to manly and having some food. All in all it was a wonderful day and really good to be out on the water. With uni break finishing, I don't know when ill be able to go for another fish. I've been meaning to put more effort into making videos but have struggled to find the time. So hopefully you guys enjoy this video. Cheers
Land-based HSS Shark Point (x2 outings)
Amatteroflight posted a topic in Fishing ReportsI spend four hours in two sessions spinning at Shark Point (Clovelly) in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs over this weekend. Saturday 10:30-13:00, light NE blowing, 0.5-1.0m NE swell, partly cloudy, relatively clear water Sunday 05:30-07:00, light NW at first, turned into a gusty SW by about 06:45, better wash this morning than yesterday No fish were caught. Lures used were metal slices (gold and silver around 60g), surecatch 85 gram metal jig (pink/chrome), blue Halco 125mm popper and a white one this morning with the red head. Also, this morning I tried some of those smelly soft plastics with 6/0 Gamakatsu for jews or kings. Smidgey I think is the name... Had fun, as these were my first two sessions since 1996 or so, despite not catching anything except seeing three pods of dolphins and a lone seal. Previously I used to love fishing the Eastern Suburbs rocks....
Murray Cod Tips
CooperD posted a topic in Fishing ChatHey Raiders, Heading up to Broken Hill Next week and driving back down past Mildura. Was thinking I could have a bit of a flick along the way.

Desperately need a Fishing Spot
Colin1980 posted a topic in Fishing ChatHi Raiders. First time posting so forgive if it's amateur. Been fishing the Hawkesbury, Pittwater and Roseville Bridge to Mosman but still no luck. Plenty of bites but all little critters! Does anyone know of a spot I can go where I can catch a size big enough for the barbie? I have a boat but no fancy equipment such at GPS or sounder, just my trusty old boat and rods! I would really appreciate any advice on decent fishing spots Northern Beaches, NSW side but happy to travel a little further for the day. Leaving tomorrow morning with two mates, would be awesome to head to a decent spot. Thanks Raiders
Lures for all round fishing
Walker568 posted a topic in Saltwater Lure & Fly Fishing ReportsHi, i need some help. Bait is quite expensive these days and sometimes it is too hard to pump for yabbies. So I was wondering if anyone knew a selection of lures that are good for catching flatheads to bonito ( really anything big enough for eating or that is fun to catch ). if someone that could just give me like their top ten lure selections that would help immensely.
Liverpool Weir Fishing
procro posted a topic in Fishing ReportsG'day I'll cut straight to it, me and a friend went down to the Liverpool Weir just to kill time and hopefully catch some fish. I wanted to have a go at the bass that lurk around the Weir at this time of the year. I was flicking around a sakata and a shallow diver around the old railway bridge and on the salty side as well. My mate was using prawns and corn to hopefully get a bream or mullet but we got nothing. Have the bass gone already? I was hoping there would be some left in the freshwater section. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go along the georges river at this time of the year to get a bass? - procro

fishing rose bay, new south wales
lochiebruce7 posted a topic in Fishing Chathi all, i just moved to rose bay and i'm a keen fisherman. last Saturday i walked from my house to the ferry wharf and started to flick zman grubs, chasing bream and flathead. i spent a few hours there as the sun went down, i had a few bites but nothing landed. later an older man and his wife walked up beside me and started to fish. they had live yabbies and were pulling in fish after fish. i just wanted to ask you guys where i can either buy or pump yabbies around rose bay. im only on my L plates so i cant drive around the city very often. also where are some good spots around rose bay that have worked for you? im relatively new to fishing and i am excited to see what i can catch. any information will go along way. thanks guys.
Pop the hood and rev the donk!
flatheadluke posted a topic in Fishing ChatHi Raiders, Here is my number one favourite lure. It's a gold halco twisty 40 gram. I like it better than any SP or hard body that I own. Upgraded all the terminal tackle so that the weakest link is 25kg. Only caught salmon and tailor so far but plan on targeting the pelagics once they come in closer. I've showed you mine can you show me yours please with a description? Cheers, Luke
Best rod for a Penn Spinfisher V 4500-6500
frankandfish posted a topic in Fishing ChatHey fellas im chasing some advice on a rod to match to a Penn Spinfisher V. Im looking at getting the 6500, something that can handle decent fish off the rocks or off a boat when the opportunity arises. I already own a Shimano Symmetre and a Sedona in the 4000 size that I use from the beach and off rocks around the northern beaches. I know that the 5500 and the 6500 have the same internals with just a difference in line capacity, will probably look to load around 30lb braid 50lb FC leader on it. Can anyone recommend a MH fast action rod that I can use off the rocks and then also possibly off a boat for jigging and trolling. Main use would be flicking metals and general bait use, pillys, whole squid and strips on gangs. Price range would be between $100-200 depending as the reel will set me back about $200. Cheers.
Sunday Salmon
Keofferam posted a topic in Fishing ReportsWent out sunday for a quick session between 10 and 12noon. Headed out to the heads- no bird activity in the harbor but around the corner and there was a beautiful sight. Birds and boiling water. We had one working a fly outfit and I had a small halco metal on a Fugi rod and 7kg mono.. Not long before I got a solid strike and then some aerials and a great fight. These guys fight like hell and on my mid range gear its just great fun. They disappeared before long and we had to get back but was a very fun session.
Hawkesbury 26/3/15
bruen82 posted a topic in Fishing ReportsHi All, Scored a Thursday off and decided to head over to the Hawkesbury for something different. (usually fish Port Hacking) Tried to catch the run-out tide to pick up some Flatties off Patonga Beach but we were a bit late. Still managed a 2 keeper Flatties, 2 Whiting, and a Blue Swimmer. Tide changed and all went quiet. dropped my mate off to grab some fish and chips from Patonga and just relaxed in the boat. Threw in a soft plastic while i was tidying up a bit and realised the rod was bent over. Big flattie that was barely hooked got off at the boat - no biggie as it was over 70cm and i would've released it anyway. (wasn't even going to tell my mate as he'd never believe me, but i had back-up from a kayaker!) Anyhow, dropped the same plastic back in and continued moving eskies etc to make room for lunch. my mate was hading back to the wharf so i started the boat to collect him and my fish and chips! Bang, another good Flattie. This time landed and on ice, 50cm. Had lunch and the drifting didn't produce anything over the 30 mins we ate. Decided to troll around the Island and within 20 metres had a double hook-up of Bonito. Threw one back kept one for bait. Trolled again and ended up hooking another 8 or so in 30 mins. I was getting over it (yes i know....) and then we hit a school of Tailor and a double hook up. The two fish were carrying on and jumping like crazy. Got both on board and measured 50cm and 47cm. I know not huge but my PB Tailor at 50cm. Another troll in the same spot and another big Tailor, with it's last jump spat the hook. Much more fun than the Bonnies. Anyway all in all a great day out, plenty of sun no wind and fun fishing, I can't ask for more than that. Well maybe I can... There was one more hook up while trolling and this thing was taking line heavily - not a Tailor and not a Bonito from the strength and line it was taking. Any ideas on what it might have been? I'm thinking Kingie or Shark? I got the lure back by the way so it may have been barely hooked. Anyone reckon it was a decent Kingie?? Thanks!
Lure types/styles for surf fishing?
SMn posted a topic in Tackle TalkG'day, I would like to add a couple of lures to the tackle box when I fish the surf and rocks, to replace bait on the occasions that I haven't got any or it isn't convenient to use. I've used a surf popper on a paternoster rig to good effect in the surf, but looking for lures that require a fast retrieve. I will be sticking with my regular beach/rock setup in terms of rods and reel, hoping to just rig a lure and cast when required. Rods: 13-14ft medium to fast taper 2 glass and 1 carbon-fibre; reel: Alvey 650grbc which is geared 2:1. A new setup is out of the question, at this stage. Any advice on types and styles (targeting whiting/flatties/bream up to sambos/tailor and anything else!!!), casting anywhere from 10m-100m... Cheers!
Double Bay 22/02/15
adamski posted a topic in Fishing ReportsG'Day Raiders, Bit of a hit and miss short session at DB today. I arrived late morning just as it was getting near high tide. Started off targeting bream on hard bodies after my first fish (a flathead) with them last week. I got plenty of follow-ins, including one from a bigger bream, but only managed to hook and land a pesky pinkie. It went a bit quiet after that, so I switched to plastics. Found an area where I could see a sandy patch on the bottom with darker patches either side and thought it looked like prime flattie territory. Sure enough, first cast in and I hook some serious weight. The thing sort of lumbers off, but with little fight and I wander if it's maybe a ray- I've never had one on the hook before. There were a couple of head shakes (do rays shake at all?) and I managed to bring the fish around a little, but I guess in the end I pulled too hard and my 4 lb leader got busted off at the lure. If it was a flattie, it was far bigger than the 50 cm one I caught last Sunday. I guess it might have been a catfish, caught a few bigger ones around that area, but I don't know if they have the teeth to chew through leader. Anyway, changed back to hard bodies, mixed up my retrieve a little and- joy of joys- about halfway through one retrieve as I was slooooowly winding the lure I got a good hit on the same K-mart Tsunami Pro I used for the flattie last week. After a really fun fight on light tackle, where the fish tried to bust me off a couple of times on the rocks, I landed my first little bream on a lure. It went at about 28 cm and is currently chilling out in my fridge before dinner. Had a few more follow-ins from some nice-sized bream after that and also hooked a tailor, but didn't land any more fish. I left early afternoon after only 2 or 3 hours of fishing as the girlfriend and I had stuff to do later, but next week I think I'll be back for a proper session. Before starting to use them, I'd read a few people talking about how rewarding it is chasing fish on lures. After a few sessions I've gotta agree it's a huge amount of fun! Great thing is lures seem pretty durable and it's easy to guide them past snags, so I've yet to lose any tackle when using them and, unlike plastics, the fish can't pick them to pieces. Thanks for reading. Adam

What type of camera equipment do you use?
When we first started ELE we were simply using our iPhone camera to take of all of our images for Instagram and the website. We have recently upgraded to a Canon EOS M50 camera (portable and lightweight) and a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. We highly recommend both. When we are out and about we use this cute, durable camera bag. We also use a Canon macro lens for close ups of food and flowers in the garden.
Do you purchase travel insurance when you travel?
We always make sure we have travel insurance when we are travelling anywhere outside of our home country of Australia. It isn't expensive and gives you piece of mind in case the unforeseen happens. Our recommendation is World Nomads travel insurance, we luckily have only had to claim once and it was a simple, painless process.
What products do you recommend using in the kitchen?
While we are big believers that you can use almost any products in the kitchen and still create delicious food, we do have some favourites that we use all of the time. French brand Staub make our favourite cast iron cookware and while their products aren't cheap they are worth the investment as they will last forever. Same with Mauviel, another of our favourite brands, we use their frypans and stunning copper saucepans and bowls. We also love Le Parfait for storing and preserving jars and even use them for drinking glasses!

I'm very excited to share that I will be exhibiting new work in Out of Sight, a survey of contemporary are in the Pacific Northwest, to coincide with the Seattle Art Fair. Out of Sight will take place in the stunning third floor of the newly renovated King Street Station—this 24,000 sq ft raw space is uniquely suited to exhibiting works of art big and small, while remaining a work of art in and of itself. I will be exhibiting three brand new works, two of which will be sculptural, three-dimensional works. More information on Out of Sight below!
OUT OF SIGHT A survey of contemporary art in the pacific northwestCurated by: Kirsten Anderson, Sharon Arnold, Greg Lundgren and Sierra Stinson Dates: July 30 – August 2, 2015 Place: King Street Station – 303 S. Jackson Street, Seattle WA 98104 Hours: July 30th – preview and grand opening party 7:00 – 11:00 July 31 + August 1 – exhibition hours 12:00 – 8:00 (happy hour bar service 5:00 to 8:00) August 2 – exhibition hours: 10:00 am to 6:00 pm (swedish pancake brunch 10:00 to 2:00)
Press Statement
Vital 5 Productions has a long history of championing contemporary art in the Pacific Northwest. Since the mid-1990s, we have been producing exhibits, events, experiments and creative content that celebrates all that makes our region so dynamic, original, and largely out of sight. When we heard about Vulcan producing the first annual Seattle Art Fair in the summer of 2015, it was almost immediate that we wanted to support the fair and harness the international attention the fair will bring to Seattle. From this energy emerged a new exhibition opening July 30th in the historic King Street Station.
Vital 5 is proud to present Out of Sight, a 24,000 square foot survey of contemporary art in the Pacific Northwest. Just a stone's throw from the Seattle Art Fair (happening at the Centurylink Convention Center during the same weekend), Out of Sight occupies the entirety of the third floor – a raw, industrial space that has until this time, never been open to the public.
Curated by Kirsten Anderson, Sharon Arnold, Greg Lundgren and Sierra Stinson, Out of Sight showcases over 80 emerging and mid-career artists, bringing what we believe is the largest survey of contemporary art happening in the region. Both in scale, proximity and premise, Out of Sight is a bold and audacious exhibit, designed to recognize the immense talent and creativity that our region harbors, and the under-recognized creative capital of our community.
Join us Thursday, July 30 at 7:00 pm for an early preview and grand opening celebration, or visit the exhibition Friday and Saturday from noon to 8:00 pm and Sunday 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. The Hideout will be providing happy hour service on location from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm Friday and Saturday nights, and a Swedish pancake brunch will take place 10:00 am to 2:00 pm on Sunday, August 2.
