The bag limit for blue crabs is now 20 per person per day (boat limit of 60 with 3 or more people on board).
Update - 28/11/2016
This crabs have started early this year and November has seen good numbers across the Adelaide Metropolitan grounds. Having recently acquired a small boat again, I have managed to get out a couple of times (along with every other boat owner it seems). We have really only had a couple of good Sundays recently, so I headed out and was surprised by the sheer number of boats out and about. Anchored just north of St Kilda, I looked back towards Outer Harbour and there were boats everywhere. Despite this, we managed 20 crabs between 2 of us. Not a huge number but they were all of good size. I'm sure most know this already, but a couple of things have stood out during the last couple of trips that might help increase your crab catch.
Crabs love running water. Catches are always better on a strong running tide and it's the morning run out tide that fishes best on the metro grounds. An afternoon run in is a close second. As the tide slows, you will notice the action slows a bit before picking up again as the tidal flow increases.
Use those mesh bait cages in the bottom of your nets. You'll use far less bait. I have been using just the bait clips, but the crabs eat the bait surprisingly quickly, not to mention the skates, stingrays and Port Jackson Sharks.
Squid is still the best bait, but fish frames, fish heads or small whole fish are a close second. (Shitties make excellent crab bait and there is usually no shortage of them on the local grounds). Fresh bait is best.
Let me first of all say that I'm talking about Blue Crabs here. They are just another one of South Australia's seafood delicacies, up there with prawns and crayfish.
Generally caught in the warmer months, the old adage of crabs being caught in any month with an "R" in it isn't far off the mark. Most years, north of Adelaide anyway, there seems to be a couple of major "runs"; one in December and the other in February. However, this is certainly not a hard and fast rule.
There are two main ways of catching them. The first is by using hoop nets or witches hat nets. The other is to wade around the sand flats at low tide and poke them with a crab rake. Both methods have their time and place.
I used to enjoy travelling to Ardrossan jetty in December or February, when there was a high tide at about 7 or eight in the morning. I would arrive in the early hours, usually around 3.30 a.m., and throw two crab nets out from the jetty. If the crabs were around, I would end up with about 20 before the tide turned. (I would fill in time between pulling nets up by fishing for squid, and this was almost always productive). 20 crabs was my limit, being all that I needed. I would throw all females back and keep just the big blue males.
Ardrossan jetty is still good for crabs when they are about in numbers. It can become crowded at times.
Ardrossan and Port Broughton jetties are both good for crabs during a run in tide, and sometimes on the run out. If targeting crabs there has to be some tide movement. A dodge tide does not seem to coincide with good crab catches. Wallaroo, even Moonta at times, and Stansbury are all worth a try.
Good hoop nets are the type with side netting but wire bottoms. All that is required is a bait hook/catch/latch/clip thing that enables bait to be skewered onto it and clipped into the middle of the bottom of the net. This ensures that the crabs (most anyway) will have to enter the net to get at the bait. Some of the larger ones can sit outside the net and reach in with their claws, which can prove frustrating.
Make sure you have enough rope for the net to sit on the bottom. If at Wallaroo you'll need a lot of rope due to the deep water.
My favourite bait for crabs is squid. It seems to work when they go off fish and meat baits. Fish heads would be my second choice with meat a distant third.
Raking for crabs can be good fun, but it is also hard work, especially if starting from shore (some people cheat and motor out in a boat). At times it is necessary to walk through knee to thigh deep water for quite a while before locating any crabs, if you find any at all. I have been countless times and caught next to nothing and, on some occasions, I have caught my twenty very quickly.
A few years ago, a few friends and myself made our way to a beach north of Adelaide. It was late January, and we had had a thunderstorm the night before. The road (unsealed) into the beach was very slippery, but we made it and tentatively made our way into the shallows. After about 45 minutes, all four of us had as many crabs as we needed. Subsequent trips to the same beach have resulted in next to nothing. We are all waiting for another thunderstorm in late January.
When raking, the places to look for are the sand patches amongst the weed beds. Crabs bury themselves at low tide. Usually, their presence is revealed by the disturbed area of sand, which appears blue/grey in colour. It's just a matter of gently raking the spot with the crab rake. You'll know if a crab is there. They are aggressive little devils and will attack the rake with gusto. The trick then is to twist the rake, sort of like scooping the crab up, whilst lifting the rake out of the water. That's the easy part. The hard part is getting the crab off of the rake and into the tub. (Most crabbers have some sort of floating tub behind them to hold the crabs).
The areas suitable for raking are all tidal flats with extensive ribbon weed beds with sand patches. Beaches north of Adelaide like Port Gawler, Middle Beach, Port Parham, Port Prime and Thompsons Beach are all worth a try. On upper Yorke Peninsula, areas around Port Clinton and Tiddy Widdy Beach near Ardrossan are good spots.
Generally the last half of the run out tide is the best, and try and go on a day when there is not much wind. If windy, the surface of the water is chopped up too much, making it difficult to see the bottom, even in shallow water.
If you are lucky enough to have a boat, then the options open up even more. I had a small boat up until a couple of years ago, and enjoyed crabbing most of all. I had a fair bit of success off of St. Kilda, north of Adelaide and at Port Broughton. Black Point, south of Ardrossan was good too, as was Price. The best of both worlds can be enjoyed in a boat. At high tide, you can use nets whilst fishing for garfish or whiting. At low tide, it's possible to motor over the ribbon weed beds into shallow water and go raking.
Crabs should be cooked in salt water for best results (or freshwater water with salt added.....which would make it salt water). Bring the water to the boil, place the crabs in and leave them for 7 minutes once the water starts to boil again. Once out of the pot, either put them into icy water to cool immediately or run them under cold water. There are heaps of different ways to enjoy crab meat, but the simplest and the best is to eat it straight from the shell, with a bit of salt and pepper.
There are a few rules and regulations in regards to crabs, like minimum size (11cm across the shell), females with eggs have to go back etc etc. Please check here for current fishing regulations - http://www.pir.sa.gov.au/fisheries

Facebook Vs Websites
Posted on Oct 7, 2011 by Valerie Touchstone |
An interesting debate regarding Facebook and websites is emerging. The core issue is if a small business needs both a website and a Facebook account. I'm hearing from businesses who are opting for a Facebook only path who think perhaps it is redundant to have both, more expensive to have both and that it takes more work to keep both updated. From a marketing perspective, my perspective is that there is not a cookie-cutter answer. I do think in the case of a small retail start up, for e... Read more

Internships Can Be Good for Everyone...or Not
Posted on Aug 9, 2011 by Valerie Touchstone |
I really do love having interns. It's fun to see what students are learning and professors are teaching. And, I like seeing ideas, marketing tools and work through the eyes of someone in a different generation. I find it energizing and affirming…most of the time. The interns who have what I refer to as "the fundamentals," in addition to their emerging marketing and/or PR knowledge, are the ones I enjoy and who I know will succeed. The fundamentals you ask?

Finally, A Use for QR Codes I Can Get Behind
Posted on Jun 6, 2011 by Valerie Touchstone |
Okay, so I'll admit I thought QR codes were simply a gimmick. A flash in the proverbial pan of ever-changing marketing tools. Until today. I read a discussion on Linked In today, titled "Are Business Cards Dead?" The topic caught my attention so I took a few minutes to read a bit. Basic reasons for "yes" or "no" ensued, along with one good point of how a super cool card, by way of shape or message, can hang around in someone's purse or wallet ... Read more

The Battle of Somme
This source shows us the three main objectives of the Somme that the British actually fulfilled. The date tells us that it was written after the battle and is a sort of justification for what happened. This despatch would have presumably been published so any citizen could pick up a copy that tells us that he was telling the public about the successes in the battle. However, there is no mention of the failed objectives such as the big push' into or the breaking through the German lines. This source can be cross-referenced with source I' which is a map showing the ground gained and the casualties.
Source B- Haig communicating to Lloyd-George during the Somme
This source has no date but we are told that it is during the Somme. This note is clearly a note of desperation as the fact that the note is to the minister of munitions, Lloyd-George, shows. It therefore indicates that things are not going well in the battle. The note shows very little imagination as it talks about the same old things, tactics and one last push'. It also tells us that he has no apparent backup plan so a loss would be a disaster.
Source C- Extract of a report sent in December 1916 by Haig to the British Cabinet about the affects of the battle of the Somme
This source again shows Haig trying to justify his actions but this time he doesn't just say about the successful things he admits to being wrong about the ground capture. The nature of the source is a private letter to the Cabinet and not for publication, thus Haig has to admit to what is already obvious about the lack of ground gained. This source also is a good example of typical Haig' in which he sees it as a success as the enemy's casualties were greater...

For Sauce: In a small skillet set over medium-high heat, heat oil and paprika until oil shimmers and paprika is fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and let cool.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine parsley, oregano, red onion, garlic, and chili pepper flakes. Pulse to chop. Add vinegar and salt; pulse, and slowly drizzle in cooled oil with machine running. Chop until sauce is emulsified and chunky.
For Steak: Heat the olive oil in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak season well with salt and pepper. Place steak in skillet on the fatty edge and cook until the fat has rendered into the pan and the edge is brown, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook the other edge for 2 minutes. Now cook the wide sides of the steak until nicely browned, about 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from skillet and let rest 10 minutes.
Slice steak thinly, and serve with Chimichurri sauce.
Although the chimichurri can be refrigerated for a day, the sauce is best made just before eating, as the acid in the marinate will turn the parsley army-green if it sits for more than a few hours.

Want to keep the kids entertained in Paris? There's plenty to choose from. As well as the more mainstream attractions, we've thrown in a few weird and wonderful places that we hope will be a fun experience for the whole family.
Cite des Sciences
Get interactive. This large museum has several exhibits dedicated to making science comprehensible for everyone. The Cite des Enfants has two distinct exhibitions for 2-7 years and 5-12 years, offering many activities, games and experiments in a hands-on learning environment. The museum can get very busy, so book in advance or arrive early to avoid the queues.
Location: 30, avenue Corentin-Cariou. Métro stop Porte de la Villette
Jardin d'Acclimatation
Situated in the beautiful park of Bois de Boulogne, this is ideal for small children. You could easily spend the whole day here as there's plenty on offer, including a small zoo, a waterpark, pony rides, numerous play areas, a little train, plus zip lining and rope climbing opportunities. If you've brought your own food, there's a picnic area and places to sit throughout the garden. If you haven't there are various places to eat that suit your budget. The spectacular building of the Louis Vuitton foundation, an arts museum and cultural centre, is a great place for the adults (if you get the time).
Location: Métro stops Porte Dauphine & Porte Maillot
Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle
Explore a museum full of impressive animal skeletons from prehistoric times to the present. In the palaeontology building you will be surrounded by dinosaurs. The Gallery of Evolution has a former royal collection of stuffed animals from around the world, which is fascinating for children. There are four levels of animal displays including huge whales suspended from the ceiling, plus creatures from all over the world. Check out the Children's Gallery for a special treasure hunt exhibition for 6 to12 year olds – parents can come too.
Location: 57 Rue Cuvier. Big Bus stop 6. Métro stop Jussieu
Musée de la Magie
Encounter artefacts from the world of illusion that will entertain or at least bewilder the little ones. Tucked away in the Marais in a vaulted cellar, the museum features a collection of over 100 automates and old moving mechanical figurines. Although the magic show is in French, the performance is very visual, so you can still understand what's going on.
Location: 11 Rue Saint-Paul. Big Bus stop 6. Métro stop Sully - Morland
Les Catacombes
Explore Paris's eerie underground cemetery. Walk through the city's old quarry, lined with skulls and bones of millions of citizens who were very artfully laid to rest here. Descend 20m (65 feet) down 130 narrow, spiral steps and walk 1.25 miles (2km) through dark passages to reach the ossuary. This is a great adventure for older children, but not for anyone who is claustrophobic. The air is only 14° Celsius (57˚Farenheit) and the surface is uneven and can be slippery, so wear suitable footwear and clothing. The queue gets pretty long, so arrive early or try your luck after lunch.
Location: Métro stop Saint-Jacques
Palais de la Découverte
The Palais de la Découverte - a science museum located in the Grand Palais - is where you can explore chemistry, astronomy, physics and other natural phenomena. There are plenty of demonstrations and experiments, plus a planetarium (extra fee) where you can gaze at the stars and listen to a lecture. Nearly everything is in French, but you can still enjoy all of the highly visual and interactive displays. There is a lot to see and it can get very busy, so arrive early to make the most of the day.
Location: Avenue Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Big Bus stop 9. Métro stop Champs-Élysées - Clemenceau
La Chine Massena
This is a great place to go with kids of all ages without having to worry about disturbing other customers. Around the edge of the main dining room, there are big fish tanks full of carp and lobsters that will intrigue young children. There is also live music on the weekends. They are open on Sunday too, great news when many other restaurants are closed.
Location: 96 Boulevard Masséna . Métro stops Porte de Choisy or Porte d'Ivry
Shakespeare and Company Bookstore
A bookstore may not be the first thing that springs to mind when thinking about things to do with kids in Paris. But it's a wonderful and enchanting shop. There are children's readings mixed among the regular stream of literary events, which are free to attend. It's a real book lover's paradise - crammed full of works by many famous authors. This quirky shop can get crowded, so if you want to peruse the books, be sure to arrive early.
Location: 37 rue de la Bûcherie. Big Bus stop 6. Métro stops Maubert - Mutualité, Cluny - La Sorbonne or Saint-Michel
Musee de l'Armee
The Army Museum is great for all kids, especially those with big imaginations and sense of adventure. Explore rows upon rows of medieval swords, maces, crossbows, shields, knights' armour and even the tomb of Napoleon I is here. There are several giant cannons lining the small moat as you approach Les Invalides - a spectacle in itself.
Location: 129 Rue de Grenelle. Big Bus stops 2 & 9. Métro stop Varenne.
Marie-Antoinette's Estate
Visit Marie-Antoinette's hamlet inside the Château de Versailles, featuring thatched cottages, a vibrant fishpond, flower and veg gardens and a farm. This little haven was the Queen's escape from the pomp of Versailles – somewhere she could create a space that was entirely hers. Peer back in time and experience a snapshot of history.
Location: Train stops Versailles – Chantiers & Versailles - Rive Droite
Deyrolle Menagerie
A taxidermy shop may sound like a pretty random place to visit with kids, but if you're yearning to do something away from the norm and enthral the kids at the same time, then this could be it. Go upstairs to discover a huge variety of butterflies, birds, mammals, reptiles and beetles - some the size of a hand. There is also a stuffed baby elephant, bear and mummified human skulls. A place to open up curious little minds.
Location: 46 Rue du Bac. Big Bus stop 7. Métro stop Rue du Bac.
Café des Chats
Something a bit different that will delight children and adults. Visit the Cat Café, where you can enjoy a coffee, tea, dessert or a salad whilst watching cute cats. They have been rescued and given a home here, where they freely roam. They operate a strict policy to ensure the welfare of the cats, so you will have to refrain from stroking a sleeping cat or feeding them. However, with a dozen cats there should be one around to have a cuddle with. Reservations are no longer required, but are recommended.
Location: 16 Rue Michel Le Comte. Métro stop Rambuteau.
104 Le CentQuatre
This vast communal space and community centre (104 Arts Center and Performance Space), is a welcome addition to the Parisian arts and culture scene. It's home to a collection of performance areas, shops and studios where you can see artists at work. The large building also hosts contemporary exhibits, has a restaurant and café, a bookstore, a natural clothing boutique, a second hand shop and a play area for children. The outdoor space is a great place to relax and have coal baked pizza for lunch - plus it's free to enter.
Location: 5 Rue Curiel. Métro stops Riquet & Marx Dormoy.

Cost and Work Accountancy
Cost and Work Accountancy After 12th Class
Cost accounting provides a system for effective utilization of money and provides the management with an effective system of appraisal and evaluation of investments and alternatives in monetary terms. The job involves evaluating and managing costs, value and management information systems. Cost accountants are involved in cost analysis; they collect, organize, collate and analyze all internal and financial information to valuate regular critical analyses of past and present financial performance. They then make future projections which help to take important decisions in any company.

This $40 million Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) project for the City of Plant City, Florida, included a 12 MGD expansion and upgrade of the existing facility. The project required excavation and removal of 90,000 CY of unsuitable soil and the import of 90,000 CY of fill. The project was built in two phases to allow the treatment plant to remain online throughout the entire construction process. The administration building was built to withstand a Category 5 hurricane since it would be used as a storm command center during weather emergencies. The new treatment system utilized a sophisticated nutrient analyzing system that resulted in the use of less chemicals and electrical power to treat the waste streams. The project also included the construction of new aeration and anoxic basins, three final clarifiers, a RAS/WAS pump station, a filter addition, chlorine contact basin expansion, and lastly, the installation of a ground storage tank, a blower building and an administration building. Process improvements included new electrical, instrumentation, high service reuse pumps and belt filter press modifications.
"I would like to take a moment to commend your team on the outstanding work performed for the City of Plant City in the expansion and upgrade of our water reclamation facility. This was undeniably a complex project overlain on a complex site. I believe that your involvement in the Pre-construction Phase was key in avoiding many of the 'maintenance of operations' issues involved in retrofitting an existing facility."
Frank I. Coughenour, P.E., Utilities Operations Manager for City of Plant City, FL

Ed G. via Google Reviews a week ago
They are the best vet in Portsmouth. I have two cats. One is allergic to everything, but the other is prone to urinary blockages, and they have saved his life more than once. They offer medicine that works, staff that genuinely cares and services that won't break the bank. 5 STARS !
Amelia C. via Google Reviews 4 months ago
Since we moved to the area about 6 months ago, we've been bringing our dog, Brutus, here for checkups and boarding. He is always excited to go and the staff is so sweet to him! Also, a weird detail but when you bring your dog here, they give you an ID card for your pet with their updated shots and a photo. It's very cute and a really good idea. Anyway, we love PAH and would recommend this vet to anyone!
Andrew B. via Google Reviews 4 months ago
By far the best animal hospital I've ever been to. The staff is every personable and helpful. They treat your pet pretty much as their own. No issues making appointments and them keeping the promised time. Highly recommend them!!!

I have never been so happy that I made this change. Your staff and medical team are phenomenal! I always have a thousand questions because it has been a very long time since I had a puppy.

Best place for my elderly dog, they love him, they call him by name when we walk in & they give excellent care! 5 stars!
Morgan D. 3/5/2018
This is a great veterinary hospital. The staff is warm and caring, and the Drs. are wonderful. I have felt other facilities were always somehow adding things to my bill that didn t seem necessary after I left. These vets tell you what you need for your animal and offer other services, but you never feel pressured. I ve been coming to this group for about 10 years, and they have never changed. Two thumbs up from me!
Susan B. 3/2/2018
Would never go anywhere else!.

Love Dr Harrell and the staff. I've moved 1 hour away and still take my fur babies to Portsmouth Animal Hospital. It's worth the drive.
Danielle T. 2/17/2018
I love all the staff who works at this facility. My only issue is that the building is on the small side. I know it was myself and my 80+ pound dog along with 5 other people and their pets. I think with the surpurb customer service i received along with the knowledge of my pets health a larger facility condusive for owners and staff. Other than that I had a fantastic time. Thank you!!!!
Judy P. 2/11/2018
We met with Dr Smith for the first time after having spent the last 10 years with Dr Caroline Bundy as our vet. We left Dr Bundy only because of the convenience of your location and because of Daisy being difficult to groom. Portsmouth Animal Hospital has met our grooming needs for our difficult Daisy dog for several months now. We are very pleased with Dr Smith. We were concerned about having another new groomer and Daisy, but she did the absolute best job of grooming Daisy then we have seen in over a year. Thanks to Dr Smith and Portsmouth Animal Hospital for allaying our fears and meeting our current needs with our much loved pet.

I LOVE this place! It used to be Casey Animal Hospital and was OK, but the new owners bought the practice in 2011 and have really made it a great place to take your pets. Dr. Harrell is still there and she is nice and the new owner is also one of the vets. She rocks! Got on the floor to examine my dog and made us feel at ease. She explained his problem and gave us alot of options to treat him...

Great Vets. New owners have updated lobby and exterior, looks great. Friendly staff, great experience.

Casey Animal Hospital, now "Portsmouth Animal Hospital" is the best place around! We have been with them for over 7 years. We have rabbits, and it is very hard to find a vet for exotic animals. We are very pleased with the Doctors and staff, they are always there for us and work with us to keep our pets happy and healthy.
Carol M.
The staff have always been attentive, professional and loving toward our pets. When our dog passed away, they sent a nice sympathy card. That was above and beyond humane.

Comments : I and my animals are always treated like royalty! Love Dr. Ligon. You tell she loves the animals and always does her best for them. Dr. Harrell and Dr. Smith are also excellent. The staff are warm and friendly. I am very particular about my kids! When my previous vet moved to another practice (where I was still taking my older dog) we switched everyone to here. Dr. Ligon has impressed our family as the best vet we have ever been to!! She listens to the owners concerns and is understanding while always giving the animal the best care possible! Have recommended the practice to many others. We greatly appreciate Portsmouth Animal Hospital!!

Muddy Waters
Muddy Waters went from pickin' cotton in Mississippi to pickin' electric guitar in Chicago, and created many of the great Chicago blues classics. Together with Willie Dixon, Jimmy Rogers and Little Walter, the Muddy Waters Band lay the foundation for the birth to Rock N Roll.
And they had the tools to do the job- newly invented electric guitars. It was Jimmy Rogers on rhythm guitar and Muddy on electric slide. Albeit these weren't today's Fender Strats and Gibson Les Pauls, but they had that funky sound. And they had amplifiers, 20 watt tube amps in the years before there were Fender Super Reverbs and Marshall stacks. And they had also had Little Walter, a breathtaking blues harmonica player that blew the roof off Chicago Clubs.
So where's the Rock N' Roll connection? Just like in a movie, there hanging around the studio was a young guitar player, Chuck Berry, another Chess Records blues artist looking to make a name for himself.
Chuck Berry started playing blues songs uptempo and messing with the rhythm. Instead of changing chords on the 'downbeat' (1st beat of the measure), Chuck switched chords on the 'and of four' from the previous chord. And the result was Rock N Roll!

Thankfully the Hyatt Tamaya Resort in Albuquerque keeps their swimming pool heated during the winter. The pool also just happens to have JR's favorite thing in the entire world... a big tunnel water slide. I tried out the water slide after JR, and was surprised to find that the tunnel is completely dark until the very end. You have no idea where you're going...and it's actually a really long slide. I said, "JR, I can't believe you didn't tell me how dark it is inside the slide." JR's response, "Mommy, I thought you needed to figure that out on your own."
Being at the pool in our bathing suits also gave Ayi the chance to figure out how "skinny" we are. Never ones to mince words, the Chinese will always let you know just what they think of you. There were plenty of times I was shopping in Beijing when I was told, "You can't try that on!You're too fat!" I know it sounds rude, but to them they're just stating a fact: "You are a big American, and you will not fit in these little- bitty Chinese clothes. You will be wasting my time if I let you try them on." Pretty much anything we find "rude" to ask or say they find perfectly acceptable. They'll ask you how much money you make, how much you paid for something, or how old you are in a second. They will also point out any imperfection you might have and ask you about it immediately. So Jason and I weren't surprised a bit when Ayi said to us, (I've taken the liberty of translating it into English for you) "You, Jan, and JR were all fat the whole time you lived in China, but now all of you are skinny!" I'm just going to take that as a compliment and run...A Chinese person finally thinks I'm "skinny"!

WHAT a compliment! Did power-lifting two babies get you that bathing suit body? MR
- February 8, 2009 at 8:48 PM
I would say that running after those 3 young 'uns would be to blame for that, however, Ayi runs like that non-stop so I don't suppose she would except that. I think it is a great compliment - take it and run!!!! Sounds like a great trip to NM.

The ultimate compliment! and you ARE skinny, so is Jason.

Registration is now open for Maser Amundson, P.A.'s, Spring Conference. Our topic this year is: "Identifying Capacity, Addressing Legal Issues, Learning Practical Solutions".
The ability to define, identify and recognize capacity issues plus maintain awareness of the red flags of undue influence are essential for any individual working with the aging population. But, without the right knowledge or tools, addressing these issues can become a daunting and overwhelming task. The 2012 conference will address these issues through a practical, problem solving approach with lectures and a panel discussion of real life scenarios.
Date: Thursday, June 14, 2012
Time: 8:00 AM – 12:30 PM; followed by lunch
Venue: Landmark Room, MN Masonic Home, 11501 Masonic Home Drive
Bloomington MN 55437
Cost: $79 includes lunch, all materials & CEUs
Faculty, CEUs, Objectives & Agenda: See the registration website
We are seeking your input regarding any challenging situations/scenarios you have faced in the past where capacity may have been an issue or where safeguards may or may not have been in place. We ask that you submit a description of the situation to us for consideration and use as one of the real life scenarios we will address during the conference. All personal information will be redacted to protect client privacy.
Contact/Questions/Submissions: Joyce Konczyk, Life Care Coordinator and Community Liaison, 952.925.4147, ext 134, or email@example.com

Starting to take shape
We are really pleased with the progress being made on the new Sports Hub facility, especially seeing some of the winter storms we have had to endure! The 3G pitch foundations are in and much of the fencing is currently being worked on. The pavilion's steel structure appeared just before Christmas quickly followed by the first floor. We will see the flooring finished off and then the roof will be installed before the walls complete the main structure of the building. The building itself should be finished in July at which point the carpet for the 3G can be laid, fencing completed and then the final works involving car parking and access road finalising the works ready for a September opening. The grass pitches are constructed and the work needed to ensure these are ready for September is currently being planned out for spring.
Thank you to everyone for their support and interest in the new facility. We will be looking to advertise the community elements of the Sports Hub very soon – watch this space!
Work begins!
We are very excited that work has now begun on our 3G and pavilion and we are now only months away from seeing these new state of the art facilities become a reality for our students and community. These facilities will be on offer to our new intake as we expect the works to be completed during Summer 2018. Normal service will continue during the build and if you have any need of sports or community hire during this build period please contact the school on 01326 372386 for information.
Sports Hub work to commence Autumn 2017
We are very excited to announce that work on our new sports facilities will be starting in Autumn 2017 which will bring a new gym and fitness rooms for community and school use.
To provide the activities that you want at the times that suit you best, it would help us if you could complete a short survey by following this link, or clicking on the image above.
Please share this survey with friends and family to allow everyone have their say.
Thank you for taking the time to help us.
Sports Development Update
Thank you for all of the support we have had from the community for the school's sport development.
Everyone will I'm sure have been watching the houses go up on the old school fields and will have been aware of the amount of earth being moved on the old hospital site as we replace the fields that the houses are being built on. You can see in the picture that the construction is almost complete and what a difference this will make to the school as we join our fields together onto one single site. This work is going really well and we should be finished with the construction of these new drained pitches at the end of the summer.
The next phase of the work is the development of the new all-weather pitch and the sports pavilion that will serve as a school and community sports hub. I'm pleased to report that we are currently on track to begin construction in autumn 2017. You might have seen in the last week or so a survey come out to ask for your views on gym use to help us plan the facility around your needs.
These are really exciting times for the school and the town and we can't wait to open the doors on the new building sometime during late spring 2018.

Snippets into an Actors life.
We wake up every morning with hope in our hearts that today will be that day. The day when that phone call from our agent arrives telling us we got the part. The one that we were hoping for, the one that we got down on our knees and prayed to whatever we believed in for. Sometimes that day does come. For the rest of us, well we will keep on going and hope that one day that elusive phone call arrives.

This is a rush transcript from "Special Report with Bret Baier," October 26, 2016. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
HILLARY CLINTON, DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE: There are only 13 days left in this important election, and I have to tell you, it is so clear how high the stakes are.
DONALD TRUMP, REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: My theme today is five words: "under budget" and "ahead of schedule." That's what we did. This is what I want to do for our country. And this is what we are working so hard to do.
BRET BAIER, ANCHOR: Donald Trump at the international hotel, Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., and Hillary Clinton down in Florida. The candidates today, as we mentioned Trump was in Washington, D.C., also in Charlotte, North Carolina and Kinston, North Carolina. His vice presidential nominee, Mike Pence, Reno, Nevada, Salt Lake City, Utah, Colorado Springs. Hillary Clinton in Lake Worth, Florida, Tampa, Florida. Tim Kaine, Newtown, Pennsylvania, Allentown, Pennsylvania. Bill Clinton was in Wilmington, North Carolina, and Chelsea Clinton had three stops in Ohio.
Now, the latest Fox News poll as we showed you at the top of the show has Clinton with a three point lead. That has shifted, in part because of independents. And you take a look at the four-way presidential vote preference on independents, and that is a shift from 38 percent to 41 percent for Donald Trump, 31 percent to 28 percent from our last poll on Hillary Clinton.
Let's bring in our national panel: Brunell Donald-Kyei is the vice chair of diversity outreach for the National Diversity Coalition for Donald Trump -- she joins us from Chicago, in Washington; Mara Liasson, national political correspondent of National Public Radio, and syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer. Thank you all for being here.
Mara, first to you. Do you see this shifting? Do we see a traditional tightening or do you think this is roughly where it has been?
MARA LIASSON, NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO: I think it's roughly where it has been. There might be some tightening of the polls. But I do think that this race has been remarkably stable with Hillary Clinton having a lead, and sometimes it gets bigger, but Donald Trump has yet to kind of reverse the dynamic of the race and start getting ahead in the battleground states and flipping some of those blue states red.
BAIER: Brunel, I wanted to ask you about another poll question in here, and it deals with minorities, specifically the white and black vote. Hillary Clinton with 82 percent of the black vote in this poll, Donald Trump with only five percent. And you see the breakdown there. From your perspective, what does that tell you and what does it mean? Do you think it's real?
BRUNELL DONALD-KYEI, NATIONAL DIVERSITY COALITION FOR DONALD TRUMP: God bless you and God Bless America first. What I would say is that Donald Trump is the people's candidate. He is the person who is saying jobs, that is he going to give school choice. And those are big issues even in the African-American community.
So I'm going to tell you there's backlash when you say, hey, I'm a Trump supporter and I'm black. So what I suspect is going to happen is on November 8th, black people, who have been quiet and afraid to speak up, are going to speak up louder than ever in that voting booth on November 8th. They're going to vote Trump, and then they may vote for Democrats straight down the ticket. But there are a lot of black people who are contacting me. They are afraid to speak up. But you'll definitely see on November 8th that it is greater than six percent. More like 16 percent to 25 percent black vote.
BAIER: Brunel, on the issues, you think that Donald Trump is well positioned here as the change candidate, and you think, I guess, that these polls, the majority of the polls are not catching that?
DONALD-KYEI: What I would say is yes. I mean, the American people, the hurt, the pain, the suffering, the struggling that's going on on the ground, it's heartbreaking. And I believe that so many Americans, poor and middle class, or veterans, who have felt hopeless in this last eight years are going to walk in to that voting booth on November 8th, and they're going to express that hurt. They're going to express that pain in a mighty way, in a mighty voice in favor of Donald Trump, the change agent.
We know he is not part of the corruption that we are seeing in our government. Each if our media he is not part of the corruption. And so America is going to speak loud and clear. Whites, blacks, Hispanics, Arabs, Chinese, we're going to speak loud and clear that we are tired of the corruption and we're with Donald Trump. We want to drain the swamp that is going on in Washington, D.C.
BAIER: And that's his tagline there.
Charles, you listened to Brunel, you listen to other supporters, and there is this intensity, this enthusiasm. Can you judge how that affects, you know, turnout and the close here over the next than less than two weeks?
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: I think enthusiasm for Trump surely exceeds that on the part of Democrats for Hillary Clinton. But it's not enough because the universe of Republicans, at least it's not enough now, the universe of Trump supporters is simply not large enough to carry a plurality.
I do think it's interesting and important that the rate -- the race has tightened. Mara is right that to some extent we are back where we started the beginning of the year. But if you look at the seminal event of the last month, which was the release of the "Hollywood Access" tapes, the accusations, when the bottom dropped out for just a few days of the Trump campaign, I think the real story is the narrowing as a result of that. That was an occasion where Trump could have just disappeared. He didn't.
He has held his own, and two things have happened. One is that for Hillary there have been these WikiLeaks releases, which have cumulatively, not individually, but cumulatively reinforced the impression of a thoroughly corrupt campaign and the cynicism of depths that we haven't seen. And I think that's been important. And you add Obamacare, which is an extremely important issue that swayed two midterm elections and crushed the Democrats, it's now back as a result of those released numbers.
BAIER: Mara, about that, about Obamacare, about these issues as they are playing out in the final days, and you see $102 million being spent on this Senate race here in New Hampshire, obviously the balance of power is a huge story on Election Day.
LIASSON: Yes, the balance of power is huge. If Hillary Clinton wants to fix Obamacare, which is what she says she wants to do, she has to have a Democratic Congress or at least as much as she can get to help her to do it. Donald Trump says he wants to repeal and replace it, which is the Republican proposal.
I think the WikiLeaks thing, the -- today the stories were about the WikiLeaks leaks were about the emails. The emails is kind of a headache for Hillary Clinton that keeps on throbbing. It just doesn't go away. And you really see a behind the scenes look of how her campaign officials understood what kind of problem it was. They were kind of tearing their hair out why she didn't get this out earlier or have a better explanation. And you see the kind of inner circle around her, her personal aides, really being the kind of secretive, not transparent, all the kinds of things that, you know, have helped her get hugely terrible numbers on honesty and trustworthiness.
BAIER: Yes. Brunel, what's the most important issue for you, number one, and number two, do you think Trump supporters care about how the U.S. Senate breaks down Republican or Democrat, or the House and these House races break down?
DONALD-KYEI: The most important issue to me is economics because the last eight years the economy, the poor people of this nation have suffered. The middle class have suffered. And let me tell you something. The American people don't want to be dealing with a presidential person going into office with all the baggage, with all the investigations that are going to be on top of Hillary Clinton. Our nation needs to heal. We want to heal. We want peace between the races. We want to make sure that our youth, whether they're white, black, Hispanic, have jobs. We want to make sure that the Supreme Court, you know, that the constitution is protected. Those are American issues that has absolutely nothing to do with your race. That's to protect this nation.
And then we want tougher immigration, to make sure that our borders are safe, that we are not fighting illegal aliens and refugees for jobs. Americans are tired of fighting other people for jobs. And so that frustration is real. That hurt is real. And for the polls and different people to try to dismiss that, it's not right. It's not right. We're hurting. America first.
BAIER: Brunel, thank you for your time. The panel a little feistier tonight. I appreciate it, Charles and Mara in Washington, thank you very much. We'll you have back.

Jared's Probiotics and ProPops:
My passion is digestive health and how to improve the immune system
My name is Jared Toay, and I created the original ProPop. My friends call me the "Mad Scientist" and acquaintances call me that "Popsicle Dude". I'm in my 40's and proud to be a dad and addicted to creating probiotic and fermented foods. I am quite proud of the fact that my Oklahoma brewery looks more like a fermentation brewery than a conventional kitchen. I find it fascinating what foods can do when they are allowed to be "alive". There is no greater satisfaction than seeing someone's face when they try one of my fermented products or foods and say, "OMG. This is amazing". Some say I am even a bit OCD in making sure people are happy with my fermented foods and probiotic goodies.
Leading up to the creation of Jared's Probiotics, my history has been a bit unorthodox. I was a complete mess, but looking back, the signs were all there. EVERY single part of my body - physical and mental had been impacted by the foods I ate.
Then one day, I decided "enough is enough". I was determined to heal myself and was going to do it through foods, not by medication or drugs. The more research I did, the more I believed my healing could be found in the power of fermented foods. And at the foundation of every fermented food is what I believe to be the key component of living a longer and optimal life...probiotics.
Through that personal experience, persistent digestive problems, and weight fluctuations of over 60 pounds, I began experimenting with creating probiotic popsicles. Based on the immediate and positive responses and the urging of my clients, I started to create dozens of flavors and sell my (what I found out are) one-of-a-kind raw, vegan, gluten free, and junk free popsicles at markets around town.
The reception was overwhelming and the impetus of the water kefir sodas (ProPops), my organic sodas that has seen it's share of publicity.... then my homemade granola, an all fermented gluten-free delicacy that a couple of NBA teams purchase in bulk.... then honey premium kombucha, made only with green tea, honey, fruits, and herbs.... then other health & beauty products like toothpaste and deodorant.... and the probiotic beer, cultured, gluten-free and revolutionary... the list goes on and on.
So thank you for checking out my site. I'd love for you to experience how a frozen treat, soda, or snack can help you as well as be a tasty alternative to modern day versions in the market place today. With a current focus on becoming the Wikipedia of Probiotics and Wikipedia of Probiotic Foods, you'll be able to find on the site:
- Common questions asked by customers or ones I had myself when I first started brewing
- All of the necessary equipment to begin making your own fermented foods at home,
- My online delivery system.
- A webpage dedicated to my honest (to goodness) reviews of the probiotic foods and drinks I find in the marketplace today, and finally
- My blog is a place where you can learn about how to use, make, eat, and live a healthy life beginning from the inside because as my youngest said one time...happiness begins inside.
I love probiotics and how it can help you be a healthier you. And as a fan of the Zombie movies, I call probiotics and enzymes the "Zombies of the Food World"... they bring dead foods to life.
Join thousands of my other friends who have helped make my pops the up-and-coming nutritional treat. Much love to you. Jared

The Butterfly effect is "Small variations of the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system" - (Chaos Theory)-http://wikipedia.org .
How the hell is it relavent to me?? . Most of the times, we wonder about "why the hell am I here?", to me the answer is simple ..
Somepoint of time we did something to which this is the consequence....Let me give an example,some times I think why haven't I got admission into IIT? the answer is either I haven't put in right amount of effort to get into IIT or I could not make-up my mind to give-away one more year .. So every moment we have infront of us is a CONSEQUENCE.
As you notice these changes for that particular instant seem to be infinetesimal..But on a long run,These small moments bring a helluva change in the life we lead.. So, I think every moment has to be tuned with perfection if we have to lead a better life.,coz some point of time, if we think "had I done this, or had I not done that .." it would have been very late...
