The Core Team
Unique Focus
Qumin intends to be the global authority on Chinese digital marketing through continuous innovation in technology, consultancy and community engagement.
Our services team is built around our goal of having experts in each digital silo supported by bilingual account management.
It can be a challenge dealing with agencies in China due to a lack of transparency, quality and time and cultural differences. Our team of bilingual experts based in the UK and China can support and service clients in navigating the Chinese digital landscape.
David Reich - Chairman
David is the newest addition to the Qumin board and brings a wealth of experience from the full service media and international advertising sector. David has over 40 years of wide ranging experience in growing and developing media related businesses through both organic growth and acquisition on both the domestic and international stage.
In the early 1970's David was a joint founder and director of TMD Advertising the UK's first full service media specialist in the UK. As CEO and Chairman from 1974 onwards David oversaw the growth and development of the firm from the initial 6 personnel up to its float on AIM in 1985. Further development to 5 separate companies and growth to 300 personnel culminated in the sale of the company to Aegis plc.
David then repeated the exercise, initially in 1995 as a director, and then as from 1997 as CEO of CIA plc, through organic growth and international acquisition prior to overseeing the contested bid process between Havas and WPP resulting in WPP's successful final takeover offer of approximately 437 million pounds.
David, also holds a first class law degree and was a magistrate for 8 years. David's experience has been extremely valuable in Qumin's rapid growth and arguably far more successful than that of his favourite football team, Leyton Orient.

Man returns home and discovers garage on fire
SALLADASBURG – Mifflin Township resident Gary Wasson arrived at home just in the nick of time to discover a small fire in his two-story garage about 6 p.m. Wednesday, according to fire officials.
When volunteer firefighters arrived at Wasson's property at 6104 Route 287, there was light smoke coming from under the eaves of the structure, Ethan Goodbrod, assistant fire chief for Citizen's Hose Co., said.
The fire was brought under control in a matter of a minutes. A state police fire marshal is expected to inspect the scene today.
The cause of the fire remained under investigation, but nothing appeared suspicious, Goodbrod said.
Two vehicles in the garage sustained minimal damage, he added.

Isadora Stowe is an American visual artist whose artwork focuses on the narrative of environment translated and coded into complex psychological landscapes. Her strong interest is in visual narratives, created out of symbolic code, or personal syntax, that explore memory as it relates to the construction, negotiation and interpretation of the sense of self.
Stowe grew up in the southwest border region, living and working in New Mexico, Texas and Mexico. She credits these experiences with a heightened awareness of geographical and political boundaries; and a fascination with the exploration of identity of self in her work.
Her exhibition installations use symbolic codes repeated in juxtapositions that reinterpret and transcend their meanings. These narrative codes, such as a house with oversized succulents spouting from the roof, are painted directly on the exhibiting walls, along with the placed clusters of paintings ranging in sizes as small as two inches to three feet in diameter. These are lit with alternating colored lights in order to create shadows and support the sensory experience. In addition video projections of these symbolic drawings with reconstructed maps are projected on the wall with accompanying sound. The accompanying audio is a collection of sound recordings of various trips to the southwest border landscapes.
Stowe's intentions of sensory inclusive exhibitions, are that the audience will make their own associations and memories within the imagery of reimagined maps and codes that intersect with sound.

Pit bull problems
In the race for most maligned canine breed, pit bulls have emerged as the clear winner, each reported attack adding weight to what is becoming a morbidly obese albatross hung about the necks of the pooches.
Debates rage over how the specialty breed can one moment be seemingly playful and the next exhibit violent, suddenly lethal behavior. The dogs have polarized the nation with their erratic and headline-making assaults.
Whidbey Island is a microcosm where pit bulls have propagated at an alarming rate suggestive of spontaneous generation. Local animal shelters have become overrun with the dogs to the point of no longer accepting surrendered pit bulls.
Eleven of the 18 kennels at Whidbey Animals Improvement Foundations Oak Harbor facility currently house pit bulls. The nonprofit organization took over management of the shelter from the city in 2005 just as the pit bull situation was worsening.
Its continued to get worse, said Shari Bibich, manager of the WAIF shelters.
Both the Oak Harbor and Coupeville shelters have seen an influx of pit bulls this year.
The sheer numbers of stray pits and pit bull mixes picked up has created a burden for the minimum-kill shelters. The Oak Harbor facility took in 29 pit bulls in 2006, 30 so far in 2007, and is now housing 11 of the animals.
That doesnt sound like a big number, but then you figure that many of these 29 spilled over into 2007, Bibich said.
The Coupeville numbers are even worse. Forty-five pit bulls were picked up and brought to the shelter last year, with 27 in 2007. Seven of the dogs now reluctantly call the facility home.
Two of the Coupeville pit bulls have been there for more than a year, the situation a telling example of WAIFs difficult Catch-22. Very few people are adopting pit bulls because of the specialty breeds blanket stigmatization and negative press. At the same time, not just anyone is deemed a suitable owner.
We are very discerning, Bibich said. Owners dont always understand. Its in their breed to fight and that puts other animals at risk. In inappropriate or inexperienced homes they can be dangerous. That doesnt mean theyre a bad dog, but people need to know what theyre adopting.
Specific adoption guidelines at WAIF were drafted after Bibich witnessed firsthand the harm, both psychological and physical, that owners and people harboring unconditional hatred for the breed can inflict. A pit bull puppy adopted out ended up back at the shelter a short time later exhibiting strange behavior.
His head was tilted to the side and he was spinning in circles, the shelter manager said. An X-ray showed that his brain was filled with buckshot. It broke my heart. I held Dan when we euthanized him. And I held him before when he was just a happy little puppy and loved everyone. I made a commitment right then to never put these animals in situations like that.
The guidelines range from fencing requirements, to city restriction adherence, to age restrictions. Families with small children need not apply.
We dont know the background of the dogs, Bibich said. That doesnt mean pit bulls arent good around kids, that just means we dont know what their early life was like. You read too many stories. How many people say, Oh, I never saw that coming.
Many of the injuries occur when humans attempt to intervene in a dogfight and enter the fray.
WAIF has been forced to stop accepting pit bulls that owners are unable to care for or no longer want.
Until the situation on the island gets under control, we will no longer be taking any surrendered pit bulls to adopt out, Bibich said.
When kennel stress becomes too much for the dogs, euthanasia is the only solution.
We just had to euthanize Jockster, a long-term pit bull mix who was much beloved, the shelter manager said with damp eyes. He would have been here two years in October and time at the shelter just took its toll and we started seeing behavior concerns.
Simple overpopulation is not the crux of the pit bull problem. Rabbits are ubiquitous in Island County. But rabbits are not heavily-muscled animals capable of disfiguring a child. In the past, Rottweilers were the media dog.
We had some behavior concerns because of the popularity of the breed, said Carol Barnes, Island County animal control officer. Now its pit bulls. Owners are not realizing the propensity and tendencies of the breed, either because of how they were raised or because of lack of training or knowledge.
Whether the problem lies with the breeds predisposition, negligent owners, or simple neglect that places the dogs in a position to cause harm, could be debated ad infinitum. The physical makeup of the dog alone separates it from other breeds. In a pit bulls case its bite is often worse than its bark.
Its not that they bite more often, but when they do its much worse. And we deal with people who really dont think they have a problem, said Terry Sampson, Oak Harbor animal control officer, of owners who treat pit bulls like other breeds.
The past year has seen a notable increase in pit bull attacks on other animals. And a continual flood of pit bull-related calls, part of which could be attributed to the breeds reputation.
They have shown aggression towards other animals, Barnes said. There have also been humans who have been bitten.
A young military family with a small child purchased a 7-month-old pit bull puppy on the Internet. The experience turned into a nightmare.
The dog was in Oak Harbor, Barnes said. A friend of their child just went up to pet the dog and it injured the child. The child was hospitalized with multiple bite marks on the nose.
The burning question is whether the dogs can be blamed exclusively for the incidents. The large head and formidable jaws alone paint a target on the breed. In many cases, especially in Island County, owners are responsible for the bulls eye. Over-breeding and inbreeding has not only produced a spike in the population, but a large group of aggressive dogs with genetic defects poised to make their own headlines.
What you have are owners breeding these dogs who are deaf, they have entropia, and they are breeding litters with litters, Bibich said. So, youre taking a specialty breed and youre breeding out all the good qualities in them. Thats what I think is scary.
The breeds popularity, especially among young people using the dog solely as a status symbol, has only exacerbated the problem.
They get them just for the mere fact of owning a pit bull, Barnes said. It could be an image they want to portray. They dont have a knowledge of the breed and as a result of that, theres usually a consequence with the dog.
They also buy them for the aggressive nature, added Island County Undersheriff Kelly Mauck.
WAIF provides prospective pit bull owners information about the breed to help them properly grasp the dogs uniqueness.
These are not off-leash dogs, period, Bibich said. For people getting these dogs, use common sense. Dont buy them from a kid down on the corner.
The presence of pit bulls at residences adds a whole new element of danger for law enforcement officers responding to a call.
It certainly alerts me more than other breeds, said Island County Sheriff Mark Brown. I know Im not alone there.
In March a deputy was attacked by a pit bull that came charging out of a house. Although the dog was likely protecting its territory, the man had no choice but to shoot the animal.
He responded in the only way he could, Brown said. Its a major concern to my officers responding to calls.
The sheriffs office uses an alert system in their Spillman system to identify the possibility of potentially vicious dogs prior to arriving at a scene.
Its a special alert system that can be used through I-COM, Brown said. Its a valuable tool to have.
The perceived danger of the breed and a history of violent behavior, coupled with the increasing numbers, prompted the city of Oak Harbor to impose breed-specific restrictions in 2006. Residents were, and continue to be, required to obtain a license to own American pit bull terriers, Staffordshire bull terriers, American Staffordshire terriers, or any mix of the canine breeds.
Theres no law against having a pit bull, but you must keep then in a certain way, Sampson said. The laws are made for people who break them, not for those who abide by them.
Owners must keep the dogs in a proper enclosure, and muzzle the animal when outside of the enclosure. Additionally, pit bulls must be restrained by a substantial chain or leash and under the physical control of a person over the age of 18 years who is of sufficient size and stature to restrain the animal. An exemption from the restrictions is available if a dog has passed the American Kennel Clubs Canine Good Citizen test.
Sampson said between 60 and 70 pit bulls are licensed in Oak Harbor. The numbers, however, are grossly understated.
People tend to hide them, he said. Those numbers are not a good gauge of whats out there. The problem owners are the ones not taking care of their animals.
Oak Harbor is not alone in its implementation of regulations. Yakima and Auburn are among other Washington cities that also impose restrictions on pit bulls. In past litigation challenging municipal specialized breed restrictions, Sampson said the courts have historically upheld the ordinances.
Island County Code, although not breed-specific, stipulates that dogs not be allowed to wander or run at large.
Our leash law is pretty black and white, Barnes said.
Penalties for violating either the city or county restrictions can sting. In addition to canine impoundment, the misdemeanor can carry with it a fine of up to $1,000 and/or 90 days in jail for the city violation or up to $500 and/or 90 days in jail for the county violation.
Pit bulls are a breed known for their intelligence and loyalty, the latter attribute unfortunately the source of some attacks. In the right hands, the dogs can be a wonderful companion, Bibich said.
They have some of the best personalities, she said. You just love them. Theyre fun, theyre athletic, theyre energetic. They just want to please you.
The athleticism and energy have led to pit bulls escaping and running at large, not necessarily looking for a fight but a place to burn off some calories and maybe find a playmate. Both traits must be harnessed to keep the canines out of trouble.
Vicki Payne and her dog Cody are a success story. The two-year-old pit bull was surrendered when he was 7 months old. Payne, a WAIF volunteer, fell in love with the dog.
The only danger Cody represents is the potential for an untimely death by licking. But the owner is hyper-sensitive to the stigma attached to her dogs appearance and the awkward situation it can create.
I go out of my way to make sure people are comfortable with him, she said. Part of the key is letting people get to know the dog.
Cody underwent extended obedience training, just as any breed should. Payne was careful not rush her dog and the outcome has been phenomenal.
He loves everyone, she said. This breed is so people loving.
At the same time, Payne can understand the trepidation felt by people meeting Cody for the first time.
With all the horror stories you hear, I dont blame them, she said. Theyre very athletic, very strong dogs.
A previous Rotteiler owner, Payne said Cody is even stronger than the other specialty breed.
They dont hold a candle to Cody, she said with a laugh. Hes a alittle 75-pound muscle ball.
Bibich said Cody is a success story that could easily be written over and over again with different owners and their pit bulls.
They are a great breed, she said. Unfortunately they are a victim of society.
October is Adopt-a-Dog Month. In addition to the surplus of adoptable pit bulls and pit bull mixes, WAIF has plenty of wonderful dogs waiting to find good homes.

Sebastian Coe is one of the great names of British sport with eight world records and two Olympic go
Sebastian Coe is one of the great names of British sport with eight world records and two Olympic gold medals during his career. Coe sensationally broke three world records in 1979 in just 41 days: the 800m and mile in Oslo and the 1500m in Zurich. This meant Coe was the first man in more than 50 years to set world records at both 800m and 1500m.The following July Coe added the 1000m record to his list in Oslo making him the holder for a short time of four world records simultaneously.In 1981 Coe broke records again at 800m (Florence) 1000m (Oslo) and the mile (Zurich and Brussels) bringing his total to eight. His 800m world record of 1:41:73 set in Florence in June1981 remained unbroken until 1997. At the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles Coe set an Olympic record at 1500m.He has now successfully led the bid to bring the Olympics to London in 2012.This stunning print shows Coe jubilant in crossing the line to win the Olympic gold medal in 1984. He has personally signed each print and you will receive a separate photo of the signing (as shown in the inset image).Available exclusively through Spirit of Sport this is a super item from a true Olympian.Actual Size 560mm x 410mm - limited edition of 250 and part of the Sporting Masters editions

Maintenance Man - UKNakedMen
Models: Issac Jones and Dean Monroe
Studio: UK Naked Men
We've always found it's possible to 'look and not touch' for...just so long. Dean's been doing his daarest too, but when Issac the maintenace man finds he has his hands full with a faulty light fitting, it doesn't take Dean very long to take full advantage of the situation and get his mouth filled with the sexy stud's, hard, veiny, uncut dick.
Issac Jones continues to conquer the world of porn with his Gaelic charms, honing his performance with each shoot and surprising us every time. Who better to bring out the best in Issac than porn legend Dean Monroe? Dean's perfectly maintained body has Issac's uncut cock rock hard from the moment he unzips the overalls and Dean wastes no time in sliding the full length into his eager throat. Issac puts Dean's famously talented arse through its paces, filing it with tongue, fingers and hard cock, until both are shooting huge jest of cum.

Synctool 4.5 Updates Itself
Synctool helps in synchronizing configuration data in a cluster. The GPL program is now available in version 4.5 with some new functionality.
The new Synctool functionality includes an update mechanism for the software itself that scans for new versions and downloads them. The command line tool also provides the option to do a dry run on a possible update to a remote file. A few bugs were fixed in addition.
Synctool manages hosts based on classes and can restart services after an update. For file updates, the program uses Python-modified rsync and ssh. The new version 4.5 is ready for download as a tarball from the project page.

Allen West Celebrates MLK Day by Telling President Obama Not to Play the "Race Card"
Rep. Allen West -- the self-proclaimed "Harriet Tubman" who says he's trying to get the nation's African-Americans off the "21st century plantation," claims members of the Congressional Black Caucus are "racist," and suspects his potential opponent in his reelection bid might like "running against black guys" -- is warning President Obama not to use the "race card."
Not surprisingly, West saved this rant for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
West actually said something nice about the president for a quick second yesterday, saying "Dr. King's dream had come true" when Obama was elected.
"The inauguration of our first black president, the highest office in the land, and perhaps the world's most powerful office, clearly demonstrated to the world that race need not be a hindrance to success and achievement in America," West says. "The fact that Barack Obama won the largest share of white support of any Democrat in a two-man race since 1976 indicated the lion's share of these voters made their decision based on his character, his vision of hope and change, and his ability to relate with everyday Americans."
Upcoming Events
But, West notes, "white Democrats aren't the only voters who are capable of making a decision based on character rather than color" -- two of the 42 black Republicans running for House seats were also elected.
However, West is wondering why "the left" and "the White House" have "charges of racism emanating from them" whenever there's criticism against President Obama or Attorney General Eric Holder.
West says that Obama "must not hide behind a curtain of so-called racial bias" and that people should not be labeled as "racist" when they're trying to have a candid discussion about anyone.
Yes, this is coming from the man who told CNN that "this liberal left has some issues with racism."
Then there's West's statement directly to the president:
My message to President Obama is this: "Mr. President, your very presence in office demonstrates Dr. King's dream has indeed come true. But how devastated would Dr. King be to know the Americans who are still fomenting racism at the highest levels are the very people for whom he fought for and died?"

This month however, I have been totally stuck on my Fig Balsamic that I picked up from the Unrefined Olive while at the Ottawa Food & Wine Show... you know, the one I also used on my amazing Fig, Prosciutto & Goat Cheese Crostini? It has paired well with almost every ingredient I have thrown at it, but nothing has compared to the combo I discovered this week; blackberries and fig goat cheese. The sweetness from the berries plus the tartness from the balsamic are all evened out with the creaminess of the goat cheese... sooo good!
Fig Balsamic Vinaigrette
2 cups of spring salad mix
Handful of blackberries
Handful of nuts and seeds
1 oz crumbled fig goat cheese
1. In a large bowl toss salad green with vinaigrette.
2. Top with blackberries, nuts and cheese.
Do you enjoy the same thing for lunch everyday or do you mix it up a bit?

Cedarburg police fine brother, sister in Klement's racing sausage theft
The case of the missing sausage is closed, and a brother and sister accused of stealing Guido, the Klement's Italian Racing Sausage costume and mascot for the Milwaukee Brewers, are facing hundreds of dollars in fines.
The duo, Kristin Moze, 32, of Cedarburg and Timothy Forrer, 26, of Mequon, went barhopping around Cedarburg with the costume in February after pilfering it from a beer and curling fundraiser. They've been ticketed for disorderly conduct and assessed a fine of $429 each, as well as $390.70 for cleaning, repairs and a missing duffel bag, Cedarburg police Detective Jeff Vahsholtz said Tuesday. A judge may also mandate a donation to a local food pantry.
Klement's Sausage Co.'s marketing director, Rebecca Quella, was able to identify Moze and Forrer by piecing together information from social media, Vahsholtz said. Both declined to be interviewed by police after being contacted.
"Social media was extremely helpful in bringing closure to this," Vahsholtz said.
Klement's didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Journal Sentinel previously reported on the stolen sausage, leading to the costume's return.

This young man is amazing, so impressive. If you do not believe in science, you are beyond stupid, but that is the problem today. So many stupid uneducated people, so many smart people who pretend to believe what they patently don't, in order to gain wealth and power by leading the stupid. Smart, educated people are the enemy of every subversive government. Why do you think they always kill the professors and scientists first, i.e.: Maoist revolution in China.

Great letter. I am another that will save it.

Great letter. I am another that will save it.
Best of luck with this...I am just starting learning about Primal. My son started kindergarten this year after four years in a high-quality daycare where I complained about nothing but the food, which was cheap and highly processed. For legal reasons parents were not allowed to bring in ANY food from home, but I did not push the envelope either.
What can I say?
You ROCK!!!
I was so disgusted by the "hot lunch" served at the school today. (I'm a lunch monitor). Uncrustables packaged peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Trix yogurt (which was neon-colored swirls of pink and yellow) and packaged Rice Krispy bars.
Mom: "What did you have for lunch at school today, dear?"
Child: "I had SH-SH-SH-SH-SUGAR!!!!!!!" (Shouted while bouncing off the walls.)
Great stuff!
I actually live in Appleton, WI where we have one of the very few schools that eliminated all pre-made, pre-packaged, processed foods and cooks prepare every single lunch from scratch. Now, even though they do use some whole grains, it is generally much more nutritious option that you average "deep fried" or "out-of-the-box" lunch.
You might've heard about this school in "Supersize Me". They work with kids who have behavioral problems. This school is a hard-core proof that nutritious food does wanders with kids.
I found this post interesting.
Thanks for all the comments, guys! The school is allowing me to bring her snack, but you can tell that they don't like it (like "Oh no, here's another ONE!"). But they can deal. I can't bring any kind of nuts at all, so that is kinda tough, esp since I wanted to make her almond-flour muffins or something, but I guess I will try coconut flour.
I had seen the protein tree thing before Sir Grandma and it amazes me! I doubt my kids will ever get to the point where they will say NO to ice cream on their own. How can that be for real? I need to find that family and get some lessons from them. It's been really hard trying to get the kids to not eat sugar - they are so crazy about it.
Sofia and all other moms, how do you handle Halloween? Has it always been celebrated this way? I think not. There has to be a way to preserve the tradition without loading the kids with sugar.

Video Review: Lois Ehlert's 'The Scraps Book'
Milwaukee artist Lois Ehlert, famous for her many colorful picture books including "Color Zoo" and "Eating the Alphabet," has published a new book that takes children and other readers inside her studio and explains how she works.
Like her other books, "The Scraps Book" (Beach Lane Books, $17.99) is told through collages. She remembers how her parents, who liked to sew and do woodworking, encouraged her to make things. She often makes her collages through objects found in nature and everyday things around her. She also has some collections for inspiration and other uses, such as a collection of ice fishing decoys. »Read Full Article

October 2010: Full Contact Project Management
Full Contact Project Management
 Facing Your Project Management 'Giants'
Everyone has a favorite sports movie, which is great, because these movies make such great teaching tools. Not every good movie is applicable to what we do as project managers, but almost every sports movie is.
Sports movies are all about teams, team building, and coming together to pursue a big dream. A movie you just have to watch is one you have probably never heard of, "Facing the Giants," which is small on film-making budget, but huge on heart. You may never see it on TV, although more than 1 million people saw it in the theaters, but you can buy it online by doing a quick search for it. It's so good; I guarantee you'll like it.
In summary, the football team of a small, private school has just experienced six losing seasons. And as summer practice begins for the new season, news hits the team that their best athlete has had enough and transferred to another school, where he hopes to play for a winner. The coach is disappointed, the team is devastated, school morale has disappeared, and the boosters, well, let's just say that they are demanding a little bit more from the coach: his job.
Do you see any similarity to what you have come across in your own career? Probably so. The best journeymen and the best crews want to work on the most prestigious projects, and for the best (winning) companies. It's human nature.
So, the head coach has to look deep inside and come up with a new game plan, which he will challenge his entire team to buy into. And it's basically this: The football team is about much more than playing ball. It's all about the effort given and the integrity shown. It's about the ability to reach down deep and come up with that winning effort. And, leave everything on the field; there are no excuses that way.
It's all about leadership. You have to lead. Your foreman has to expect more and demand the best, so that your team can put a product on the field that gets there before the clock runs out, and without many penalties. Your product and service should have raving fans who just can't get enough of you. They believe that your work will stand the test of time, because it wasn't just hastily thrown together, barely good enough to pass inspection. It's a prime example of what good craftspeople can do together, when they are a team.
As a company owner, project manager, superintendent, foreman or aspiring apprentice, you must give excellence and expect it of your people, even when things aren't going well. That's what leadership is all about. Anybody can lead a parade with thousands of cheering fans lining the way, but that's not leadership.
We live in a country that has experienced and benefitted from real leadership for more than 200 years. That's our heritage, and we can thank both statesmen and military for those blessings. We are privileged to be part of an industry that has built and rebuilt cities, either from scratch or because of disaster, from skyscrapers hit by aircraft to freeway bridges struck by earthquakes. It's in our blood. When you commit to a contract, and you know up front, for example, that a school district is relying upon you, as part of a team, to get their school open on time, you should take that as a compliment, and take it seriously. Find a way to make it happen.
Sometimes the obstacles are huge. You do see giants, but you face them, as we always have. When you have giants in front of you, make sure you leave everything out on the field. No excuses.

In some meetings, the leader rambles along and doesn't keep the group focused on tasks or priorities at hand.

Lobster boats head out to lay traps in this Guardian file photo.
CAPE SABLE ISLAND, N.S. - Police are on the lookout for efforts to sell over two tonnes of lobster swiped from a Cape Sable Island storage pound earlier this week.
RCMP Const. Jennifer Botham says 48 crates of the valuable crustaceans, or about 2,200 kilograms, were snatched from one of the community's lobster pens sometime overnight on Tuesday.
At current market prices of about $6.25, that's roughly $30,000 worth of seafood that may be circulating illegally.
Botham says officers are aware the lobsters have a limited shelf life, which puts pressure on the thieves to attempt a rapid sale of the pilfered catch.
The constable says she's asking the public to watch out for people trying to sell an unusually large number of the lobster.
"Watch for people who are trying to move a large quantity," she said.
"We're talking a lot of lobster to try and keep alive."
She says there are between 15 to 20 lobster pounds in the Cape Sable Island and the theft is having a significant effect on the community.
"It's their livelihood in that area. It's the industry there," she said.

Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard (DS) review
"As you become proficient with the tools provided, the game and its challenges evolve. You'll rely on the bottom screen to let you know where you are in relation to horrific monsters called FOEs that have wandered down the tower from much later areas. There's only one term for any of these guys the first time you meet them: badass. Surviving one round of combat is often impossible. They'll mop the floor with you. However, they canand generally shouldbe avoided."

OK. I recently made a big deal about the gender distribution of servants in the Fate universe and found that while people constantly complain that there are more female Servants than male Servants the reverse is actually true. The real reason people feel that way is that the female Servants get a lion's share of the attention despite being fewer in number. There are a lot of reasons for that but the gender-bent Servants are no small contributing factor. So in order to counterbalance that I made a list of awesome historical characters that would make great female Servants and you would not have to touch their gender in the slightest.
One quick rule: There is currently a supposedly data mined list of characters who have code in the Fate/Grand Order game but have not been revealed yet. So while that list has not been fully confirmed yet there are some magazine spoilers and leaked images have shown that at least part of the list is correct. With that in mind I won't pick any characters from that list as I'm going to assume they are already in Fate/Grand Order. So no Cleopatra, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, or Tomoe Gozen. At this point they are practically canonical.

The Pac-10 dubbed itself "The Conference of Champions," but they should really be called the conference of quarterbacks. The Pac-10 has always been the conference with more elite quarterbacks than anyone else in the nation.
Today, they are led by arms like Andrew Luck, Matt Barkley, Nick Foles and Darron Thomas. Previously, they featured some of the greatest ball-slingers in football history like John Elway and Warren Moon.
The following are the top 25 quarterbacks in Pac-10 history.
Andrew Luck and the Top 25 QBs in Pac-10 History
By Pat Marrujo ,
The Pac-10 dubbed itself "The Conference of Champions," but they should really be called the conference of quarterbacks. The Pac-10 has always been the conference with more elite quarterbacks than anyone else in the nation.
Gesser's statistics are not incredible, but he was more wins than any other quarterback in Washington State history.
In three seasons (2000-2002) as starting quarterback, Gesser threw for 8,104 yards and 69 touchdowns. He also finished his career as the third-most efficient passer in Pac-10 history.
He led the Cougars to two-straight 10-win seasons in 2001-2002 and also led Washington State to their last Rose Bowl.
Dennis Dixon did not have a great career at Oregon, but in 2007, he might have been the best player in college football.
Before being injured against Arizona in the 10th game of the season, Dixon had 2,136 yards passing and scored 29 total touchdowns. His Oregon Ducks were separating themselves as the best team in college football at that point in the season.
It is hard to argue that any single player meant more to their team than Dixon. When he went down with an injury, Oregon ended their regular season with three-straight losses.
Morley Drury was known as "The Noblest Trojan of Them All." In 1927, he ran for a then-school record 1,163 yards and led USC to a 8-1-1 season. He was named a first-team All-American in 1927 and 1969 was named on the All-Time Pacific Coast Team.
Other than football, Drury also played baseball, basketball and water polo at USC.
Drury played in a different era of football, so his numbers don't stack up well against others on this list. However, he should still be honored as one of the best in conference history.
Warburton is better known for his work in Hollywood. He was a film editor and won an Oscar for his work on the movie "Mary Poppins."
Before Warburton was in show business, he was the starting quarterback at USC. From 1932-1933 he led the Trojans to a record of 20-1-1, also being named an All-American in 1933.
Cotton was known for his unparalleled speed and his incredible leadership on the field.
Andrew Luck is the best quarterback in college football today. I feel he has to finish his career at Stanford to truly earn a higher spot on this list, but he appears to be on his way up.
In two seasons at Stanford, Luck has thrown for 7,720 yards and 24 touchdowns.
Last season, he led the Cardinal to a Orange Bowl victory and was named a second-team All-American.
Luck is exceptionally talented and is entering this upcoming season as the Heisman front runner.
Norm "The Flying Dutchman" Van Brocklin had a 16-5 record during his time at Oregon. His most memorable season came in 1948 when his team tied California for the Pacific Coast Championship.
Along with being named an All-American that season, he also led his team to a Cotton Bowl appearance. It was the first major bowl a Pacific Conference team had ever made other than the Rose Bowl.
Statistically, it is hard to find a better quarterback in conference history than Andrew Walter. He ranks second in conference history with 89 passing touchdowns and fourth all-time with 10,617 passing yards.
Walter had as strong as arm as the conference has ever seen and was a great leader.
His statistics may be overblown because he played in an offense that liked to throw the deep ball.
At the same time, he carried the Sun Devil offense. How he played in most games decided whether or not Arizona State would win.
Akili Smith made himself out to be a big-time NFL prospect during his time at Oregon, only to fall flat in the pros.
Smith looked like a running back, was blazing quick and could throw the ball a mile. He is easily one of the most talented players in Pac-10 history.
In just a senior season for the Ducks, Smith threw for 3,763 yards and 30 touchdowns and was the first Oregon quarterback to ever be named the Pac-10 Payer of the Year.
Aaron Rodgers has earned everything he has gotten his whole career. In his early college days, like in his early NFL career, he was not given much of a chance.
However, Aaron Rodgers was one of the most consistent and efficient quarterbacks in conference history.
In his two seasons from 2003-2004, he threw for 5,469 yards and had a quarterback rating of 150.27.
It is crazy to think that Rodgers is actually better in the NFL than he was in college. But he just led his Green Bay Packers to a Super Bowl victory.
Warren Moon was truly a player that was ahead of his team. He would have fit in much better in the spread offenses of today.
Moon did not have the greatest statistics in college, but was unbelievably talented.
He had his best season in 1977. He threw for 1,584 yards and nine touchdowns, but more importantly, he led his team to a Rose Bowl victory over Michigan.
Drew Bledsoe was masterful in his three seasons at Washington State. In his 1992 season, Bledsoe led the Cougars to a Copper Bowl victory over Utah.
His career numbers are very impressive. He threw for 7,373 yards and 46 touchdowns from 1990-1992.
Unlike many quarterbacks on this list, he carried his success over to the NFL and enjoyed 13 exceptional seasons at the next level.
Pat Haden is a true champion. In his three seasons at USC, he appeared in two Rose Bowls and won three national championships.
Haden threw for 3,288 yards and 33 touchdowns in his career at USC. He is also one of the greatest Academic All-American of all time.
Currently, Haden is the athletic director at USC.
I feel that Haden is the model of what a Pac-10 quarterback should be. He achieves on and off the field, but most importantly, he wins championships.
Cade McNown was a complete bust in his pro career, but that cannot be said about his college career.
In four seasons as a starter at UCLA, McNown threw for 10,008 yards and 61 touchdowns.
His two most memorable seasons came in 1997 and 1998. In both seasons, he led his team to conference titles both seasons and was in the top 10 of the Heisman ballots.
Joey Harrington is recognized as one of the biggest busts in NFL history. The same cannot be said about his college career.
In three seasons at Oregon, Harrington had a record of 25-3.
His senior season was his best in his college career. He threw for 2,415 yards and 24 touchdowns en route to leading his team to a Fiesta Bowl victory over Colorado in 2001.
It is a shame that Harrington's poor NFL reputation has tainted his legacy. His days of being a Heisman finalist at Oregon seem long behind him.
Rodney Peete was a two-sport athlete during his time at USC, but his work on the football field is what he is remembered for.
He was the first USC player to ever win the Johnny Unitas Award as the nation's best quarterback. He also took his team to back-to-back Rose Bowls in 1988 and 1989.
In his three seasons as a starter, he threw for more than 2,000 yards and tossed at least 10 touchdowns in each.
Carson Palmer started all four of his seasons at USC, but waited until his senior year before he was great.
In 2002, Palmer led the Trojans to a Rose Bowl victory over Iowa. He threw for 3,924 yards and threw 33 touchdowns that season, good enough to earn him the Heisman Trophy.
When Palmer graduated, he was USC's all-time leader in passing yards, completions, total offense and career touchdowns.
Tuiasosopo was one of the greatest duel-threat quarterbacks to ever play in the conference.
He ran for 1,279 yards and threw for 4,335 yards during his four-year career with the Huskies. In that time he led his team to four bowl games, including a Rose Bowl victory against Purdue in 2001.
Tuiasosopo appeared to be the second coming of another Husky on this list, Warren Moon.
Before he had a complete meltdown in the NFL, Ryan Leaf was one of the decorated quarterbacks to ever play Pac-10 football.
Throughout his career, he was a first-team All-American, Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year and even held the Pac-10 single-season touchdown record for a short period of time.
Leaf didn't just enjoy individual success—he also led his Cougars to their first ever Pac-10 championship and their first Rose Bowl in 67 years in the 1997 season.
In 1962, Terry Baker became the only played to ever win the Heisman Trophy and play in the NCAA basketball Final Four in the same year.
He was the first player ever to be named Heisman in conference history and was also named the Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year.
In his Heisman campaign, Baker threw for an unheard of (at that time) 1,738 yards.
Gary Beban might be the most forgotten player in Pacific Conference history. However, Beban makes a strong argument to find himself near the top of this list.
In 1967, he had one of the greatest seasons in college football history. He beat out USC running back O.J. Simpson for the Heisman Trophy and the Maxwell Trophy. He was also named an All-American in that same season.
He won a Rose Bowl against top-ranked Michigan State in 1967 and boasted an impressive 24-5-2 record during his time at UCLA.
Jake Plummer is similar to Carson Palmer in that he was not legendary until his senior season. However, he was different from Palmer in his game style.
Plummer didn't have the strongest arm or blazing speed. But he had a never-say-die attitude and did whatever it took to win.
In his 1996 senior season, Plummer was the best quarterback in the country and led his Sun Devils to an undefeated season and Pac-10 title. He threw for 2,575 yards and 24 touchdowns in that magical season.
"Jake the Snake" means as much to his program as any player on this list. He is regarded by many to be the greatest Sun Devil ever.
It is a shame that Elway played on such a pitiful team because he was one of greatest college players ever. The only reason he is only fourth on this list is because of his lack of success in the win/loss column.
Elway broke nearly every Pac-10 passing record during his career at Stanford. He threw for 9,349 yards and 77 touchdowns during his four years of college ball.
He was the Pac-10 Player of the Year on two separate occasions and was a consensus All-American in his senior season.
Troy Aikman started his college career at Oklahoma, but he transferred to UCLA for his last two seasons and the rest is history.
In his two seasons as a starter, he went 20-4. He won bowl games in both of his seasons and won the school's first ever Davey O'Brien Award (best quarterback) in 1988.
His career numbers at UCLA are very strong. He threw for 5,298 yards and connected for 41 touchdowns in his two seasons.
The former consensus All-American continued his success in the NFL and led the Dallas Cowboys to three Super Bowls.
The significance of Jim Plunkett is unparalleled in Pac-10 history. He was the first quarterback that started to shift the conference's reputation to a pass-heavy league.
During his career at Stanford from 1968-1970, Plunkett rewrote the conference's record book. He set single-season records in passing touchdowns (20) and passing yards (2,673).
However, his most historic accomplishment came in his senior season when he won the Heisman Trophy. The year was dubbed "The Year of the Quarterback" because Plunkett beat out Joe Theisman and Archie Manning for the honors.
I am not sure you can argue that there was ever a better college quarterback in college football history. His first career pass he ever threw at USC was a touchdown—and that set the tone for the rest of his career.
In three seasons at USC, Leinart was an unbelievable 37-2. He threw for 10,693 yards, 99 touchdowns and only 23 interceptions in his career.
His most memorable season game in his junior season of 2004, in which he led his Trojans to a BCS title and was also awarded the Heisman Trophy. He then opted to return for his senior season, despite being projected as the first overall pick.
In 2005, he was nearly as successful as he was in 2004. However in 2005, he was the runner-up in the Heisman ballots and the BCS title game.
