http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Hole_Mountain_Resort Local beach, Kairakau.Some of our clients travel from great places in the bay... This spot sounded so nice Ross and his family had to go out and camp for a week to test it out! This is a beach just south of Havelock north, and east of Waipawa. Great safe stream for the kids to swim in at low tide, and the surf is moderate with the occasional chance of rip/currents. There is no mobile coverage, and the camp site is basic with minimal facilities. The nearest shop would be Waipawa, about 30mins drive. Great spot for some rest and relaxation! Or fishing if you are into that, check out the club fishing competition this waitangi weekend.

Most days we have had periods of rain so play has been interrupted. The new facilities at Stanley Street for the ASB Classic are really good - even rooftop practice courts for the players (along with a nice rooftop pool too). I have worked on a number of matches. Lisicke the top seed looks in good form. Finally, I have been selected from the ongoing daily assessments to work on the Ladies Final on Saturday - coverage on Sky TV and highlights on Prime. 29/12/11Black Barn MoviesFocus Health are proud to sponsor one of the Hawkes Bay's unique events.

15/11/11World COPD DayWorld COPD Day is an annual event organized by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) to improve awareness and care of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) around the world. World COPD Day 2011 will be based around the theme "Are you short of breath? You may have COPD! Ask your doctor about a simple breathing test called spirometry." Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) affects hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders, yet most people have never even heard the term COPD. Here are some statistics about COPD in New Zealand. COPD has a substantial impact on the health of New Zealanders. Although often undiagnosed, it affects an estimated 15 percent of the adult population over the age of 45 years (at least 200 000 New Zealanders.) More than 85 percent of the burden of COPD arises from tobacco smoking, with contributions from cannabis use and dust exposure in the workplace. COPD is the 4th leading cause of death after cancer, heart disease and stroke. COPD is ranked 2nd in men and 5th in women with regards to its health impact COPD is an irreversible disease but is almost entirely preventable by avoiding exposure to tobacco smoke. Over 15 percent of all smokers are likely to become affected.
