She's one of the most well known socialites out there with an enviable wardrobe to boot.
And Wednesday night was no different as 29-year-old hotel heiress Nicky Hilton stepped out for the evening.
The businesswoman was attending a launch for a new brand of wine in Mexico City and ensured she stood out as much as the beverages on offer.
Dressed for summer: Nicky Hilton wore a breezy mint dress for a night out in Mexico City
Stepping out in the warm Mexican evening, the former model looked healthy and happy in her open front ensemble.
She attended the event in a sleeveless mint coloured mini dress, with her long blonde hair kept loose and allowed to flow over her shoulders.

Geometric glamour! Paris Hilton shows off her svelte figure in a clinging monochrome mini dress
Battle of the BEE-auties! Emmy Rossum and Olivia Palermo look stunning in their black and yellow frocks... but Olivia goes a step further with her quirky shoes
Keeping accessories to a minimum, Nicky let her wrist stand out with a bold statement bracelet.
Meanwhile her sophisticated snake-skin Louboutin heels matched her easy-to-carry clutch.
Attention to detail: Accessories were kept to a minimum with matching snake-skin heels and clutch, plus a bold statement bracelet
White or red? Nicky was in Mexico for the launch of a wine brand
It is the second time in as many days that the socialite has made a striking fashion impact.
On Tuesday she wore a cute floral print Valentino pastel lace dress while attending the New Yorkers For Children Spring Dinner Dance in the Big Apple.
The event was hosted by Valentino and raised funds to aid the nearly 14,000 children in foster care in New York City.
Twice is nice: It is the second time this week that the former model has impressed with her fashion choice having worn a floral Valentino dress on Tuesday

A lot of (catty and insecure) women use the word supermodel as a derogative term, implying that the word is tantamount with animal too skinny or otherwise unhealthy. These chicks also get afire when they hear that a famous celebrity has gone fat is now covered in cellulite.
I'm no supermodel — but, neither am I insecure. Why should I say caustic things about a creature who was born to be gorgeously gorgeous? I'm companionable with for in my opinion and my air and I don't need to destroy women who are more beautiful than for in my opinion to get my self-esteem up — and one of the ways women seem to bond these days is by doing correctly that.
Yes, some of today's supermodels are very skinny and unhealthy — but the majority of women I see who fit this account are not models, but comparatively Hollywood actresses and socialites. Regardless, the real supermodel era was during the 90s, and those women were not too skinny — they were curvy, sexy and hawt. That habit is still approved on today, by plenty of supermodels, so I've incorporated examples from both then and now on this list. Obviously these are my own personal faves; this list has nothing to do with who made the most money or who was the most famous.

And you thought cheese was just a product of cow's milk. Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, have completely ruined cheese by making a cheese from the microbes grown on human skin.
Cheese, which does start as milk, is made when milk is spoiled with the bacteria Lactobacillus, which is then aged with yeast to create a solid hunk of cheesy goodness.
Turns out, Lactobacillus and yeast particles necessary to make cheese are literally everywhere: on plants, inside animal guts, and even in our skin. So microbiologist Christina Agapakis and artist Sissel Tolaas took swabs of their mouths, plus Michael Pollan's belly button, someone's tears, and another person's feet (!), grew the bacteria and yeast in Petri dishes, and then added them to fresh milk, creating a cheese that looks and smells like regular cheese (no word on taste tests).
"Why are we more uncomfortable with bacteria on the body than we are with bacteria in cheese?" Agapakis told The Salt. In fact, the bacteria and yeast that naturally grow on our feet and skin are very similar to those in cheese, Agapakis said. "So a lot of the smells on cheese are very similar to body odors."

Tahitian Pearl
February 9, 2015 by jasmine
Filed under Accessories
I love to wear big fun pieces of jewelry but lately I've been looking for more classic pieces to wear on a day to day basis. I've always liked the exotic color of a tahitian pearl and was super excited when The Pearl Source offered me the chance to review one especially since Valentine's day is just a few days away. It's an early gift to me!
Pearls are one the most feminine and romantic gem and are appropriate for any occasion. The Pearl Source has an endless variety of pearls like Tahitian, Freshwater and a lot more at pretty reasonable prices that can even be customized to your liking. I was sent the Tahitian South Sea Pearl Denise Pendant to review and it's beautiful! The 9mm Tahitian South Sea pearl drop-shape pendant is made of high quality sterling silver and exhibits a gorgeous quality pearl with "Very High" luster. The silver against the Tahitian pearl makes this the perfect piece of jewelry to add a little elegance to your jeans and tee.

Have a question?
Harry Valner on
Martin, don't expect a response...my question from September 4Th is still un-answered. The last time they logged in was (It say son their profile) September 16Th...they're ignoring us that shows. No charging cable is horrible, I thought the same thing. How ridiculous. Where are you located? I'm in USA and wasn't charged anything....
Martin Collis on
Isn't shipping/handling included? It cost me just under $30 at the door when UPS delivered. And it is the WRONG COLOUR. And no charging cable. And no Mac software at almost the end of September that was promised by July.
This is how you treat customers?!!
Harry Valner on
...tick tock......tick....tock.....
Jorge Quinones on
Same problem here, I just got mine but its the wrong color I asked for White and received a yellow instead...
Matthias Kraus on
In the quick guide it says one of the virtual buttons can be configured. I haven't found out how. Could anybody tell me, please?
Harry Valner on
Its been now what, 7 days and no response from the team at all regarding anything it seems. They usually respond in a day or so. So they're obviously trying to hide something....
Adam Lathers on
I tried reaching out to the dev team to see if I could lend some research time to the issue to solve the Mac gap. No answer. fingers crossed a solution is on the horizon and I can actually *use* my awesome new über mouse!
Harry Valner on
RK, seems they haven't been responsive at all lately...I wonder if they plan on responding?
Leo Kiraly on
Hi! I received my mouse yesterday and it works fine but there is only 200 MB cloud space instead of 4 GB. What did I wrong?
Harry Valner on
When do you expect to have a mac update? If you have a developer working on this every day it should have been fixed by now. I am disappointed to see software holding you up over a month. I have a product and no way to use it now. Well lets play the waiting game...
Laura Sapiens Creator on
Hi Jason, unfortunately not. We still have problems with the pairing Bluetooth. We know it's frustrating (it's also for us) but Mac seems very complicated.
Jason Hermans on
I very pleased to have received my EGO! Smartmouse, but I have a Mac and there is no way to use it :- ( Any ETA for the Mac version of the ego service pack?
Laura Sapiens Creator on
Hi Harry,
we still have no update, it seems very complicated, but once done you will be able to switch from Mac to PC, or PC to Mac, Mac to Mac, PC to PC.
Harry Valner on
Awesome Laura Team! Just got the shipping notification. That is AWESOME. Thank you! And no update on the Mac version?
Real quickly, will it be possible, once all mac issues are fixed to go from Mac to PC, or PC to Mac, Mac to Mac, PC to PC?
Laura Sapiens Creator on
All the black ones will be shipped today.
Laura Sapiens Creator on
@Gonzalo the answers are below your comments... please read the previous messages to get informed. Moreover we didn't receive any mail through kickstarter. If you need to speak with us in private, please write a message through the kickstarter platform.
Gonzalo Morere on
Sorry 4gb
Gonzalo Morere on
Hello again im still waiting for a response about my 2gb Ego! I sent you an email weeks ago an still no responde about date of shipping. Thanks
Laura Sapiens Creator on
Black 4BG will be sent tomorrow and in the first days of newt week.
Harry Valner on
So any ETA as to shipping the Black ones?
Laura Sapiens Creator on
The problem is that unfortunately we're not the physical makers of each piece of Ego! Smartmouse and we depend on the suppliers. With the first order, the supplier sent us some inoperative memories so we needed to make another order. They will come by this week as the supplier was on holiday in August. Same problem with the white covers: some had little damages so we preferred not to send them and make another supply. The provider is still on holiday so the white 4GB will take longer.
Regarding the Mac version there's a problem with the QR code recognition and we're working to solve it.
Hope to give you details soon!
Harry Valner on
So still no updates on the 4GB version? Whats going on? I understand you were on holiday but you still should have been working on this, this should be a top priority. You are 2 months behind and giving us very few details. Please help.
Laura Sapiens Creator on
@Steven Luke.
Thanks for your report, it looks like to be a calibration problem of the touch surface of your device.
We will contact you with private message to get more information so we can try to fix the problem.
first of all thank you for your review. Your feedbacks really help us in improving our product.
The micro USB on the rear side is a device port and this means that can be used to interact with external devices. We are working to implement a new function to turn Ego! Smartmouse in a mass storage device. Since, for technical requirements not depending on us, the filesystem cannot be modified at the same time both from the USB and from the Ego! Smartmouse folder, we are working to activate this function when Ego! Smartmouse is not connected. This is why we decided to trigger the connection to the last PC using the virtual front key.
The optical sensor has been positioned in the rear side for design issues: since Ego! smartmouse can be used also as an air mouse we opted for a shape that would have allowed the user to hold it in a convenient way. This compromise had for sure limited the possibility to put the mouse sensor in a central position. Maybe you can try to obtain the best response based on your use by acting on the Windows sensitivity settings.
About the auto mode selection algorithm, as you guessed, we currently evaluate several parameters and to avoid false and incorrect changing between "air" and "table" we opted for the evaluation both of the level and of the surface quality. As Steven Luke suggests you should already have the possibility to set your preferred mode in "Ego! device settings".
Thank you.
LS team
Laura Sapiens Creator on
@Quinn Hi, you should have received it on August 21th. Let us know if you had some problems.
Laura Sapiens Creator on
Hi guys,
as we spent one week on holiday there are no updates with white 4GB and Mac version. If you are experiencing technical problems please open a ticket here https://www.laurasapiens.com/en/general-info#ticket to get assistance.
Thank you,
LS team
Steven Luke on
I have been having some trouble with this myself. The scrolling seems broken. If I have anything that scrolls down and the Ego! turned on, then the page will automatically scroll all the way to the bottom, then jump around a bit, then settle at the bottom. I can force scrolling up, but as soon as a take my finger off, it scrolls all the way down again.
It has made the mouse completely useless on every computer I have connected it to. Anyone else seeing this? any suggestions on how to avoid it?
Steven Luke on
@Andred Yik: "This mouse has a serious lack of settings. I really want a way to easily switch permanently between table and air mouse"
If you open the Ego! ServicePack (with the device connected, probably need to right-click on the sys tray icon and choose Home), and go to the Ego! Device setting, can there is an option at the bottom that switches between table and air (or auto) modes. I just checked it and it seems persistent. Does it not work for you?
Gonzalo Morere on
any news on the status of the 4GB white???
From Chile
Quinn Vidal on
Is there anyway to check the status of my shipment as I have not received mines as of yet . . Texas (USA)
Steve Johnson on
Guys yes please make binary simple settings for the device. I am also having problems switching mine off. Sometimes it vibrates and switches off and sometimes it doesn't.
I have to reset it. Then when I've left it I come back and battery is gone....
Please invent a auto power off mode, I can't use it yet as I have mac only.
Keep up the good work...
Andrew Yik on
Just writing down a few more thoughts on the mouse.
New function to connect to the last computer with a press off the top off the virtual button (scroll pad) works well. I can't understand why it doesn't just try to access the last known computer first, as the current way is an extra step and can be surprisingly annoying if you're trying to turn the mouse on and off to conserve the short 8 hours of life of the mouse.
If you haven't noticed, the usb port seems to be used solely for charging and I'm guessing it has no circuitry to interact with any other devices from the port itself. Not a bad thing, but just clarifying for anyone that didn't get that note.
The red light on the bottom for the table mouse has been put on the back end of the mouse instead of the center. If you like to move the mouse a good length across a table to navigate a screen, this may not be a problem, but if you are like me who likes having their mouse fairly sensitive to movement, you may have problems. I tend to have a habit of moving a mouse only with my wrist sometimes, so the movement is more like a turn or a pivot than a full scrolling movement across a table. Because the sensor is at the back of the mouse, pivoting the mouse creates very small and inconsistent movements of the pointer. May be a problem for people who use small movements of the hand for their mouse, but probably won't be a problem for most people.
Someone mentioned that the mouse will not work on a slanted work surface. I tried the same and came to the same conclusion. In addition to the red light checking whether or not it is on a table, it also seems to check if the mouse is level. If the mouse is on a slant, then even if it is on top of a surface, it will think that you want to use the air mouse and you won't be able to use it as a table mouse.
I'm guessing problems like the mouse thinking your hand is a surface will pop up if it doesn't check its level, so there will probably be compromise if that part is turned off. I'm still expecting settings and options for this kind of thing to pop up in the future though.
This mouse has a serious lack of settings. I really want a way to easily switch permanently between table and air mouse as well as a quick sleep or off mode. Turning the mouse on and off all the time is really annoying and the low life of the mouse really requires you to do this all the time. This is probably the main reason why I still don't use it as my main mouse. It just isn't as easy to use as a normal mouse yet.
Laura Sapiens Creator on
Hi guys,
we are experiencing technical problems with the 4GB memories and the Mac version.
Hope to fix all these problems soon, we're working hard.
LS team
Harry Valner on
Guess if the mac version isn't out, as I thought it would have been out last month, I'm in no rush to get my EGO!
Laura Sapiens Creator on
Hi guys, we're working on the Mac version and later we will start with Linux and Android. Hope everything will be released soon but it takes time.
@Steven we saw that you didn't sign up as mention in the survey, that's why it wasn't connected, Now your cloud storage should work.
Steven Luke on
I got my EGO! today, set it up on Win 7 64 bit - painless. I got it working, and I can see it has local storage. I setup my cloud account. Is there any way to tell that I have the cloud storage I signed up for? I couldn't find anything related to that on the website.
Lucas Rischka on
Received my EGO! on friday! Would be great if the Mac Version were finished soon. ;)
elroy manning on
Recieved my ego!
What do we think about adding android support? I use my note 2 as a docked device. Possible to develop for this?
Laura Sapiens Creator on
Dear Carla,
please, read the post we published before yours... you will receive it soon.
Laura Sapiens Creator on
Hi guys,
deliveries are in progress, please keep in mind that the product is quite complex and its the first time we assemble it. Hope you understand, we will deliver you your ego! smartmouse soon.
Thank you,
LS team
Harry Valner on
Hey when will mine ship, any eta? Let me know, thanks!

MUNDELEIN, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For ambulatory surgery centers looking for more efficient and simplified ways to perform orthopedic foot and ankle surgeries and help reduce errors, the Medline Unite™ Cannulated Screw System is now available for use in corrective procedures and fracture repairs. Medline is launching the newly designed system of implants and instrumentation at the Ambulatory Surgery Center Association's 2014 annual meeting (ASCA) in Nashville, Tenn., May 14-17.
"The trays in the Medline Unite system are designed for easy handling and sterilization and the instruments and screws are color coded so that the learning curve is minimal for my staff, reducing mistakes and risk for errors," said Lowell Weil, Jr., DPM, MBA, FACFAS, President and Fellowship director, Weil Foot & Ankle Institute. "The screw head design in this new system has the most up to date configuration which minimizes stripping and the time and hassle it takes to replace bad screws. I've put in over 300 Medline screws and have not had one screw strip yet, which ensures that the procedure is done right the first time."
Medline Unite is a unique system in which the implants and instrumentation are not only color coded so staff can easily match the size of the screws with the corresponding instruments, the contents of the tray system is organized in the order in which each item is used by staff during the procedure. This intuitive design makes the procedure more efficient for the surgical staff and surgeon and reduces the likelihood of errors. The implants are made of an advanced titanium alloy, which meets the stringent standards of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
"The Medline Unite System makes our procedures so straight forward and easy to follow that our scrub techs can effectively use the system without having a company representative present during the procedure," said Alan League, MD, Illinois Bone and Joint Institute and Clinical Assistant Professor, Orthopedic Surgery at University of Illinois, Chicago. "The system has helped to improve the efficiency and accuracy of our procedures and enhance patient care."
Medline is also showcasing a number of other cutting edge perioperative solutions at ASCA 2014 to help improve OR efficiency and enhance staff safety including:
- EMPOWER™ Packaging System: Innovative surgical procedure pack identification system to help improve OR efficiency, eliminate waste and enhance patient safety. The system features easy-to-read, color-coded outer packing labels and matching color-coded insert forms that easily identify each pack and reduce the chance of selecting the wrong pack.
- Medline ReNewal™: Medline's medical device reprocessing division maintains the highest industry standards to provide reprocessed single use devices at half the cost of new devices without sacrificing level of performance, saving customers up to $25,000 annually per OR suite.

12GB PlayStation 3 Model Coming To North America After All? [RUMOR]
Despite the PlayStation 4 due to hit the streets in a few short months, the juggernaut that is the PS3 shows no signs of slowing down. With the PS4 probably aiming itself at the hardcore big spending early adopters, the PS3 will seemingly be aimed at a younger entry-level market, as we are already seeing with products like Wonderbook. Particularly here in Europe, the 12 GB Flash memory model of the PS3 is being aggressively aimed at this market, and after repeated denials, it seems that the model is now also heading to the US.
The 12 GB PS3 model was initially announced last September as exclusive to the European and Hong Kong territories, with Sony specifically stating the cheaper console would not be heading to North America. The 'Super Slim' model has now however been spotted through various outlets in Canada and also at a Kmart showroom in the US, with a display date of August 18th. The Canadian price is listed at $199.99, $70 cheaper than the 250 GB Hard drive model of the Super Slim.
Would any of you guys be interested in this cheaper model? Anyone thinking of recommending it to friends and family? Let us know below.

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It's a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.
Hello, Jackie here,
Happy Chinese New Year to all you lovely readers! This holiday is actually one of my favorite time of the year. I love all the food (especially my grandma's homemade brown sticky rice cake) and the lai see (which means more money for books). But, I also love the festivities that goes on throughout my surrounding neighborhood, even if it means getting stuck in traffic for over half an hour. Bleh! But, it's the year of the sheep or goat or lamb…whatever floats your boat. Whenever I think of sheep in literature the only famous story I can think of is the Greek myth about Jason and the Golden Fleece though I'm sure there are more out there.

A firewall protects your corporate network from external threats and reduces down time from viruses and spam. Your business network is exposed to just as many Web-borne evils as the big corporate networks are. The difference is, the big companies can afford the best in firewall technology, and they have the IS departments to deploy, update, and manage their security systems. You don't. So how can you protect your network from hackers, let all your employees share a single Internet connection, and keep them from wasting time at sites of dubious repute--without breaking the bank? The answer is with Cyber Connect's Small Business Firewall.
The Cyber Connect Firewall is a "turn-key" linux security distribution that turns every system into a full featured security appliance with Unified Threat Management (UTM) functionality. The software has been de signed with "usability in mind" and is very easy to install, use and manage, without losing its flexibility. The features include a stateful packet inspection firewall, application-level proxies for various protocols (HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP) with antivirus support, virus and spamfiltering for email traffic (POP and SMTP), content filtering of Web traffic and a "hassle free" VPN solution (based on OpenVPN).
With Cyber Connect's Small Business Firewall you will be able to:
A firewall solution for your business starts from R700 (ex vat) per month, including hardware, subject to a 24 months contract. The monthly fee also includes ongoing-support. If you are interested please contact Cyber Connect on 011-781 8014 or via our contact form.

The sun was out, and if the fish had cooperated wed have stayed to make a catch, but after a couple of hours skipper Kevin Osborne made his decision.
Were going to go over to Benitos and give it a try, he told us on the PA. This isnt going to get it.
I was ready to bungee down in all that wind, but was surprised to see the velocity drop off as we moved away from the big island. Out in the strait it was only blowing about eight knots. In a couple of hours we had nearly reached East Benitos, when we found many bird schools and spread out porpoise about a mile or less from the shore. We could see breaking yellowtail in the commotion. We chased several bunches, only to have the snooty yellows act like bluefin and turn up their noses at us and our sardines and jigs.
Well move inside, said Osborne. Maybe theyll act better near some structure to hold them.
And they did. It was a scratch for sure, but we caught some fish before dinner on the windward side of East Benitos, and then anchored for dinner and a smooth nighttime anchorage in the lee of West Benitos. We were back under the marine layer out here, but the scenery was great, with clouds on the top and a rainbow in the mist behind us.
The Yellowtail did not bite like we had hoped for, wrote Osborne, although we found some very big spots of them in the afternoon up breezing around and chasing small fin bait everywhere. It was quite impressive to say the least, but frustrating to not get them to chew. It is only a matter of time when this place is going to go off with some incredible fishing from the sign we saw this evening.
That night those who were keen (the two boys and their dads, along with some hardcore) stayed up to fish into the wee hours. They were rewarded with some lunker calico bass, sheephead, whitefish and the like. Cole Chaviriz told me the next morning hed beat his personal record more than once that night, with some bass approaching ten pounds. Thats big, even for Benitos.
In the morning we went back to where wed got em to nibble the day before, and caught yellowtail of six to 22 pounds or so. It wasnt a strong bite, but you could catch a few on bait or jigs if you were wanted. The breeze wasnt strong, so after lunch the skipper made another decision to move back up into the area where wed had our best bluefin success. Lunch was also a success, Philly cheesesteak sandwich on Chibata bread with sweet potato fries. Dinner was breaded veal with grilled zucchini and roasted mushrooms. I could feel the weight coming on.
At 3:30 A.M. there were bluefin under the boat, showing on the sonar. The skipper shut it down and took a shot at the fish himself, putting three 50-pounders on the deck and handing one off. Anglers filtered up on deck slowly, but by gray light most were out there, occasionally connecting with the 30 to 50-pounders on jigs and bait. I shot video and photos for a while, ate breakfast and then went out to give it a try.
The first bait I threw out off the upwind corner swam mightily, and was eaten before I followed it four steps. There was nothing special about it except that the bait was hot, or maybe scared to death. It was a large sardine on a 3/0 ringed Mustad J hook tied to 40-pound Seaguar Premier fluorocarbon and 60-pound Line One blue spectra on an Accurate Boss Extreme 500 N reel mounted on a seven-foot graphite rod.
I had some fun with that fast little 30-pounder and decked it in just a few minutes. My short topshot wasnt frayed and the hook still looked good, so I pinned on another sardine and pitched it to the same upwind corner. This bait, another hot one, might have made it 20 yards out before it was bit and I could tell by the run I was on a heavier tuna.
Heavier means longer, when it comes to tuna, and after ten minutes this one wasnt close to quitting. But it was down 200 feet and circling, and in another five minutes I could see it, maybe 40 feet down and shining like blue chrome. I was sweating but not out of steam or breath, feeling pleased to get two fish on two casts. That may have been hubris, because a minute later, when I could see the fish well enough to call it a 50-pounder, the hooked pulled out.
So rebuked, I tried a dozen more baits, hooked fore, aft and topside with no more bites save for one bait that got bumped and came in with tooth marks on its flank. After an hour, I felt guilty enough to pick up the camera again and go back to work as a journalist/videomaker.
I might say here that the camera had only arrived two days before we left, and I was still getting used to the beast with a shotgun microphone mounted atop. The Sony a77 has 24 megapixels and a big 72 mm lens meant to use for both photos and HD video on a high-speed, 32 gig Sony SDHC card. Bigger and heavier than my old one, its nowhere near as heavy as my dedicated videocam, and a joy to use for both purposes with the push of a button, though I may be ahead of myself again; I havent tried to edit the video yet. When I do I hope and expect to get a DVD of the trip.
I shot most of the day, as there always seemed to be a good bluefin going somewhere on the boat. There were many exciting moments at gaff, and the usual percentage of tuna were hooked and lost. John Keeler seemed to have one going the whole time, though I did see him resting his eyes in his portable chair during a couple of slow periods. Young Cole got his share, too.
After a lunch of roast turkey, bacon and avocado sandwiches I went to the upper deck to get some footage and photos from the high angle, I spotted three young albatross sitting on the water upswell. They were less than ten feet apart. Something was shining among them, finning. It was four molas, giant sunfish. I made sure to get video of that event, something I hadnt seen before. The close-knit group seemed respectful on one another, though I did see a bird startle briefly when a mola appeared to touch it with a fin.
At 3:30 P.M. I went back to fishing. I went through a couple of lackluster baits and then found another willing sardine. I let it go way out, gave it all the line it wanted, and got a tuna connection far upswell. This one was a bigger fish, and took some three-quarters of the spectra on my spool. Finally the tuna stopped running and went back across the stern. I gained a tiny amount of spectra back.
Then the Fish From Heck, as I began to call it, went to the bow, came up near the surface so far out I couldnt see it, and then went back to the stern again. It sounded, but never circled, not once during the encounter. It just changed direction, depth, speed and location. After 20 minutes of gaining and losing small amounts of line I asked my new best friend, crewman Chad Smith, for help.
Chad had no idea of what he was in for. He can pull hard, but we were limited by the 40-pound strength of the leader and the amount of drag we could put on it. The fish from heck seemed to enjoy our predicament, the way a female sea lion enjoyed a yellowtail it grabbed at boatside back at Benitos. Ill never forget the look she gave us when we ripped the fish from her mouth. Angler Tim Carpenter proved himself a gracious and compassionate angler and put the chewed fish back in the water, where a bull had it momentarily, until Mama came back and took it from him. He was a smart old bull; he gave it up.
Chad could put line on the reel, but the tuna could remove it at will. That will didnt include sounding and circling. I spelled my new best pal a couple of times but couldnt get a strong handle on the Fish From Heck. When Chad got it close enough to see some 40 minutes later the bluefin adopted a new tactic, diving under the boat.
We got help from Dave Taylor, who used a fork and a gaff handle to ward it off Intrepids steel hull. We needed that help a half-dozen times, on three sides of the boat, but at last the battle was won at 4:30 and I had a tuna of satisfying size on the deck. Smith and I posed with it, and then it was purged, disgorging at least two pounds of red crab and a half-dozen sardines. Spiked, gilled and gutted, it went into the refrigerated seawater hold properly prepared, as all the fish are these days on Intrepid. Back home, the Fish From Heck weighed in at 58-plus pounds.
We fished on, enjoying the plunk as long as it lasted, until 7:30, when we drifted into colder water and the fish left. It was the longest bluefin drift, 14 hours, Id ever been a part of, and I think we may have covered 19 miles or so, with the same bunch of tuna around us. We then celebrated our big day with coffee-rubbed flatiron steak, yam mash and brussel sprouts prepared with bacon, onion, lemon and Parmesan. As he did every night, top angler John Keeler offered another of his fine wines to go with the cuisine.
Heres how the skipper reported it.
All Day Drift... We got on a school in the dark this morning and shut down on them. It took a little while for them to come back around, but they did get under us and at 4:30am we hooked into the first Jig fish. By daylight (grey) there were nine of the 40 to 60-pound Bluefin on deck. We then began to plunk away at the beautiful grade of Tuna for the rest of the day. Quality Bluefin, caught plunker style, all day long. John Keeler was again the hot stick, catching many fat Bluefin, Cole Chivira also boated his share today and everyone else caught plenty.
We spent our last morning picking up yellowtail from the kelps at the north end of the bluefin area, where a couple of boats on day and half trips were also working. We came across at least two schools of bluefin that wouldnt rise or bite. Most of us were still fatigued from the monster drift the previous day. Then we headed for San Diego and put away the rods and reels so the crew could wash down the boat. That evening we enjoyed our stabilized ride and a lobster-steak dinner served to us by skipper Kevin. He and chartermaster Jim Ptacnik got applause for their efforts to make this a very nice trip.
Kevin weighed the contenders at the dock. Jim Kastorff stood in with the winners as honorable mention with his 112-pound bluefin. John Keeler was first with a 56.2-pounder; Mitch Chivira second for a 55.8-pounder and Shane Kelly won third place for his 54.2-pound bluefin tuna.
Id like to give my great thanks to Ken Price, Intrepid owner, for a fine ride and a pleasant trip for very early season bluefin. His crew, always there to help with a fish, tackle or advice are also much deserving: Skipper Kevin Osborne, skipper Bill Cavanaugh and crewmen Jason Reese of the Hi-Count, Chad Smith, Dave Taylor, Scott Shurko and chefs Kyle Johansen, Frank Brenha and Ryan Hartwell. Thanks also go to the office staff for helping me get aboard in comfort: Carol Wood and Steve Hoffman. Well done!
Captain Kevin Osborne and Bill Cavanaugh

ISO CHEMIE's ISO-TOP WINFRAMER thermal insulating and load bearing bracket system of the rapid and effective installation of windows, is now available in varying sizes from 80mm to 200mm to suit window depths.
Having attained Passivhaus certified status, ISO-TOP WINFRAMER is a structurally solid, pre-fabricated installation frame manufactured in 1,200 mm lengths, which can be quickly cut to length on site and secured in position using a single component adhesive and, if necessary, fixing screws.
This enables installers to position and fit windows into the insulation area between the inner and outer walls quickly and easily, avoiding the need to use metal brackets that cause non-repeating thermal bridging and give extensive problems when the windows need replacing.
The composite brackets can bear heavy windows loads, including Bi-fold doors, to provide a reliable, strong and high performance support frame. Installation is quick with windows attached directly and secured mechanically using either standard fixing screws or fixing lugs in the usual manner.
A hinged insulation core combines with the composite wood structural bracket to become an integral part of the overall wall structure, providing compliance with window energy saving regulations (EnEV) and the RAL quality assurance association.
ISO-TOP WINFRAMER can be used with a range of ISO-CHEMIE foam tape sealant systems to provide effective and high performance window sealing. These include ISO-BLOCO One, ISO-BLOCO One Control, ISO-BLOCO 300 and 600, the ISO-CONNECT Vario range of self-adhesive foils and fleeces, and ISO-TOP Flex Adhesive WF for bonding and sealing to masonry and joint/corner sealing
A major end-user benefit of the new system is that when a window needs to be replaced it is not necessary to remove the internal plaster finish of the reveal wall to remove the old metal brackets and fit new ones, saving further disruption, refurbishment time and costs.
Resistant to temperatures between -50ºC - +100ºC, ISO-TOP WINFRAMER has a load bearing capacity of 200kg/m as well as offering an excellent acoustic insulation performance (up to 50dBA), high humidity resistance and can be over plastered for decorative finishes.
ISO-CHEMIE is one of Europe's main producers of impregnated foam sealants, specialising in the manufacturer of foam products from polyethylene (EPE), polypropylene (EPP) and polyurethane (PUR) using the latest production techniques. The company's UK technical and distribution operation is supported by a dedicated logistics service to ensure customer orders are completed as quickly and efficiently as possible (usually next-day delivery). Four technical field advisors are on hand regionally to help designers and installers. More at www.iso-chemie.co.uk or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Tel: 01207 566874.

Three words. Luigi Death Stare. With this licensed Nintendo mask, you can give everyone the legendary Luigi Death Stare and intimidate them beyond belief. You can do it to your cat while you're eating, or to that annoying co-worker while you're at the office, or even while you're on a date with someone that you don't really see any sort of future with. The key to making that lasting impression that will haunt the dreams of your victims is not saying a single word, then when it's least expected just let out a good ole 'yahoo!'
Really, there's no limit to the places you go to use this mask for the infamous look. Of course, we can't actually recommend wearing this lovable yet menacing mask while driving, your vision would be mildly impaired. Although, mainly because you may get an uncontrollable urge to go as fast as you can and the temptation to throw turtle shells at other drivers will just be too great for you to resist. The police really aren't cool with either of those things...

Today's Random #MPFreebie - A Boatload of Free Samplers from Amazon
You may already be browsing Amazon's MP3 Store, but have you been paying attention to the "Free Songs and Special Deals" section? Sure, they offer the free song of the day, and they occasionally feature a sampler alongside, but there are many, MANY labels releasing samplers throughout the year. Over the last year-and-a-half, I've picked up over 150 samplers from this source alone; you'll find everything from world music to classical to metal and hip-hop in the selection at any given time.
For some reason--the "start of summer," I guess--there was a deluge of releases over the July 4th weekend. Instead of trying to review so many samplers at once, I'm just going to throw you the links to the first 10 free samplers on amazon.com and (when I can find them) to the labels themselves. If you want to start tracking future releases, here's the "Free Albums" page, sorted by Release Date, newest first. The latest releases:

The Official Bold Fantasy Football Prediction List for 2012
I pride myself on being one of top prognosticators in the world. Perhaps the best that's ever lived, I don't know. Whether I'm predicting the precise time my girlfriend will erupt tonight when she sees I didn't do the dishes (6:13 p.m.) or the rushing efficiency of DeMarco Murray (he'll go for 4.77 YPC this year), I'm simply undeniably accurate.
So here are my 13 bold fantasy football predictions for 2012, posted over at FF Today:
- Ryan Fitzpatrick will score more fantasy points than Peyton Manning. And Eli Manning. And Ben Roethlisberger.
Fitzpatrick was averaging 280 passing yards and three touchdowns per game through the first three games in 2011. He broke ribs early in the season, however, and wasn't the same player down the stretch.
Nonetheless, Fitzpatrick threw for nearly 4,000 yards and 24 touchdowns. He'll give you some points on the ground, and with Buffalo transitioning to a high-tempo offense in 2012, I like Fitzpatrick's chances of landing in the top 10 among all quarterbacks.
- Matt Schaub won't be a top 20 quarterback.
Even throwing out Schaub's injury history, he simply won't pass the ball enough to be a legitimate fantasy option in 2012. There were signs of it last year, as Schaub was on pace for just 467 attempts before going down in Houston's 10th game. If he throws 475 passes in 2012, he would need to average 8.42 yards-per-attempt to reach 4,000 yards. His career mark is 7.87.
Read the other 11 predictions here. Or just buy my rankings.

I assumed they would but my files are not viewable on my new second hand IPAD air 2. I can view the sample model files fine but not the files I emailed for download or sent to google drive. I am unfamiliar with Ipads. Where in a file manager can I find where the sample files are located so that I can place my own FZ files there as well. Maybe it will work if they are in the same place the viewer expects to find them, but I suspect the file extension is all that's important and the viewer should kick in wherever an FZ file is clicked regardless of location? As a windows 7 and android user file locations on the IPAD is still a mystery.
Does mobile viewer work for FZ files produced on pc?

Hi Alan,
There should not be any issues with files made on a PC, but as noted there can be issues with Google Drive. If you upload your files a different way, does that work better for you?
Posted 06 November 2016 - 06:07 PM
Thanks Tech.
I sent the file to dropbox and was successful on the ipad by selecting export which offered the option to export it to the FormZ app.
It works very impressively.
One more feature which would be nice would be to unlock groups and get a popup displaying the name of a selected part for identification [like you can on the computer] when comparing against our cutlist.
We will find the app very useful, thanks.

The Lord Chancellor (Lord Mackay of Clashfern): My Lords, before the commencement of business, I take the opportunity to inform the House that, with the approval of Her Majesty the Queen, I am to visit Sweden at the invitation of the Swedish Speaker between the dates of Friday 8th and Monday 11th December. Accordingly, I trust that the House will agree to grant me leave of absence on Monday 11th December.
Lord Taylor of Gryfe asked Her Majesty's Government:
What is their future policy on forestry in view of the failure to achieve new planting targets in both private and public forestry and the planned further disposal of publicly owned woodlands.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Scottish Office (The Earl of Lindsay): My Lords, the two main aims of our policy on forestry continue to be the sustainable management of our existing woods and forests and a steady expansion of tree cover to increase the many diverse benefits that forests provide.
Lord Taylor of Gryfe: My Lords, I thank the Minister for that reply. However, can he give me further assurance regarding the future of the Forestry Commission? Is he aware that the Forestry Commission has now sold off 200,000 hectares of land to private owners? Is he also aware that in very few of those cases are there access agreements, which means that ramblers, hill walkers and others who enjoy the countryside will no longer be able to enjoy the countryside? Secondly, does the reduction in the planting programme of the Forestry Commission in the past five years, from 5,000 hectares per annum to the recent figure of 586 hectares per annum, indicate an intention on the part of the Government to privatise by the back door?
The Earl of Lindsay: My Lords, as the noble Lord well knows, the Forestry Commission owns well over a million hectares of ground in the UK. In Scotland, it still controls over 45 per cent. of all woodlands. In respect of those 1 million hectares of ground there is a disposals programme which will last only until the end of the century and which comprises only 1 per cent. of the total estate of the Forestry Commission per annum. Any
The Government fully appreciate the value of our forests for recreation and access. Therefore we have taken steps to strengthen the arrangements which either maintain or create access when disposals take place. We have a presumption against the sale of any Forestry Commission plots where there are high levels of public access. We encourage local authorities to enter into agreements, and we fund the legal costs of local authorities in meeting those agreements. Woodland access is probably increasing in this country for the first time ever. What is more, it is increasing where it is most needed.
In relation to planting figures, the noble Lord paints an unnecessarily gloomy picture. The UK leads the way worldwide in increasing forestry cover. We are planting more than 70 million trees per annum. We have met the total planting figure of 33,000 hectares, which comprises new planting and replanting. Since 1979 we have done a great deal to expand the forest cover of Britain.
Lord Gisborough: My Lords, in view of the enormous investment which has taken place in the forestry processing industry, is my noble friend worried that the swing to hardwood will result in there not being enough softwood to supply those firms with timber in the years to come?
The Earl of Lindsay: My Lords, my noble friend raises a good point. The commercial production of timber will remain a fundamental element of government policy. To that end the grants for new conifer planting were increased by nearly 30 per cent. last year where planting takes place on better ground. We expect that increased incentive for coniferous planting to feed through as a major boost to the processing sector. In the past 10 years £1 billion has been invested in the forestry processing sector. That provides many jobs in rural areas. It is important that we protect that investment; we intend to do so.
Baroness Nicol: My Lords, the Minister referred to legal costs of management access agreements. They are only a small proportion of the costs to the local authorities of the agreements. Are there any guidelines, or is there any way, in which the costs can be controlled? It is apparent from some of the agreements made that the price exacted for access to the forest is out of all proportion to the possible value of that access.
The Earl of Lindsay: My Lords, I looked into the question previously in response to a point put to me by the noble Baroness at the time. I continue to believe that in most cases costs for public access in disposed Forestry Commission sites are cheap. They may involve as little as a gate and the maintenance of the safety of a footpath through natural cover. There are 28 access agreements already in place in disposed Forestry Commission woodlands. Another 44 on Forestry Commission properties are due to go to the market. The local authority response has been tremendous regarding our offer of local public access agreements. We shall
Lord Cledwyn of Penrhos: My Lords, does the noble Earl agree that forestry in this country is important in terms of employment, notably in rural areas? Will he say how many people are employed in forestry, both in the public and private sector, compared with 10 years ago?
The Earl of Lindsay: My Lords, I shall write to the noble Lord with the exact figures. However, I can underline the fact that some 20,000 people in Scotland alone are employed in forestry. A similar number of jobs depend on the downstream activities which forestry generates. We are acutely conscious that the planting, management, felling and all other stages of forestry create jobs in rural and remote areas. If you maintain families in those areas, you maintain post offices, schools, buses and so forth. Therefore the Government place a very high priority on forestry as an employment creator.
Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, the noble Earl mentioned sustainable management of woodlands. Can he possibly define "sustainable management" in this instance?
The Earl of Lindsay: My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lady for that question. Sustainability involves the wise use of a resource which meets, as far as possible, our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. As regards forestry, we want to plant the right types of trees in the right places. I believe that 10 years ago the preoccupation regarding forestry was in terms of quantity and whether we could achieve a specific planting target. Now we know that we must produce quality at the same time. We must not plant the wrong trees on the wrong ground and therefore close off options for future generations.
Lord Astor of Hever: My Lords, is my noble friend aware that preliminary figures from the forestry authority show a significant decline in levels of restocking this year? In the light of that, will he reconsider the 50 per cent. cut in restocking grants?
The Earl of Lindsay: My Lords, the reduction in the restocking grant announced in September last year did not apply to any applications for a restocking grant which had been received previously. Therefore many restocking operations are still taking place at the original rate.
Since most of the storm damaged areas in England resulting from the 1987 hurricane have now been replanted, less replanting is going on for that reason. In Wales, restocking has increased. The fundamental point about restocking is that there is only a finite level of public moneys available to forestry. Given the level of resources that we have, we must ensure that we derive the maximum possible benefit. At the old rate,
Lord Williams of Elvel: My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Earl for mentioning Wales. Is he aware that forestry is as important in Wales as in Scotland? As a Minister in the Scottish Office, he is replying for the Forestry Commission and others because the Forestry Commission is based in Edinburgh. What arrangements do the Government propose to ensure that the Welsh interest is properly preserved rather than having to write to Edinburgh every time we want something?
The Earl of Lindsay: My Lords, it is very simple. One of the forestry ministers is the Secretary of State for Wales.
Lord Dubs asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Chesham: My Lords, the subject of demilitarisation arises regularly in our talks with both communities in Cyprus. My right honourable friend the Foreign Secretary discussed it with the Cypriot Foreign Minister, Mr. Michaelides, when he was in London on 1st November. Moves to reduce deployment of troops and levels of military equipment on the island can only help to improve the climate for a settlement.

CBS has been constantly rewarded by millions of Americans for churning out clones of its procedural crime dramas, so it was only a matter of time until "Criminal Minds" earned a spin-off, which the network is reportedly now developing. As with "NCIS's" birth of "NCIS: Los Angeles" this past spring, the characters for the spin-off will be introduced over the course of a couple episodes in the original show.
Details are sketchy, but the spinoff is expected to feature a new team of FBI agents, not existing "Criminal Minds" characters.
The development pattern for a "Criminal Minds" offshoot mirrors CBS' template for successfully spinning off "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" into "CSI: Miami," which begat "CSI: NY," and "JAG," which spawned "NCIS" and then "NCIS: Los Angeles."
Wait, let me do the math on that. "NCIS: LA" is actually a spin-off of a spin-off of a spin-off of a spin-off. I hate to use the movie Multiplicity as a point of reference, but things really do get more retarded as you repeatedly clone them. And I guess that's why "NCIS: LA" is the highest-rated show of the new fall season so far. Thanks, America. This is why we can't have nice things.

Decatur Square sure is attracting it's fair share of oddly named restaurants lately and I for one couldn't be happier.
First there is the Irish Pub, Dick Macks, going into the old Saba location. Now, just a day after my wife asked me, "what the heck is going on with the old Sage space?" and I mumbled some sort of vague statement that amounted to "I don't know…look over there! a puppy!", Cheryl over at the Decatur Minute has the answer!
As she tells the story, after seeing some activity going on inside the restaurant this afternoon, Cheryl "peaked in" to get some answers. She's got a play-by-play over at the Minute, so I won't steal her thunder entirely, but bottom line is that the Castellucci Family, which owns and operates three Mediterranean/Italian Sugo restaurants around Atlanta will be opening "The Iberian Pig" in the old Sage space sometime in August.
I can't wait to see the signage! Even more, I can't wait to start calling it "the Pig" for short!
Get an idea of the new owners' passion for food from the video after the jump…

Pierogi Feast
Cleveland's Eastern European roots on display at Sokolowski's
Janey Schafer
photo by Cody York
Scattered picture frames of family and friends, cafeteria style winding-line and the scent of absolute comfort – a butter aroma. We're talking about Sokolowski's University Inn, Cleveland's oldest family owned restaurant. It's just like going to Grandma's house for a giant family get together; except the reason for eating so much delicious comfort food is "just because."
Salisbury steak, chicken paprikash, stuffed cabbage, mashed potatoes, mac n' cheese and mouthwatering pierogi bathing in a butter pool. Waiting in line for food isn't ideal, but luckily you'll find yourself surrounded by a collection of photos taken over the past 92 years to help pass the time. Who are these people in the photos? And why are they on display? Well, it's a Cleveland thing. Sokolowski's chooses to display more photos of relatives and family friends than any other photos. Newspaper clippings along with appearances from celebrities and former presidents are mixed into the picture frame collage, but it's the photos of Clevelanders that make the Cleveland-Sokolowski's experience so memorable.
So you've finally made it to the serving station.
Imagine the cafeteria lady from Billy Madison who says, "I made it extra shloppy for ya," but imagine her as an angel. And instead of "shlop," you're being served the most delicious and heavenly looking comfort food you'll ever eat. Good luck choosing between the different options – you can always go back until you've tried it all!
You're almost there – the last step of the line is paying for your food, which is nice because then all you literally have to do is enjoy yourself. Shove your face and leave without waiting on somebody to process your bill.
There are plenty of uniquely sized and shaped tables for all party sizes, also, more framed photos to surround yourself with. Imagine that you've finally filled your plate in Grandma's kitchen and you're going to go down to the basement to find a comfy spot amongst all of your family members.
Expect a food coma. The good kind of "satisfied" food coma though, the type that will have you dreaming about Sokolowski's for weeks.

I was born in rural, northern India and attended school in a small town. I traveled with my parents and spent some time in northern Africa as my father, a physician, taught all over the world. I returned to India for medical school and practiced family medicine for a few years. I moved to the U.S. with my husband and completed my residency in psychiatric medicine at UVA. After completing my residency and fellowship at UVA, I joined the faculty in 2006.
My training is in psychiatric medicine with a specialty in geriatric psychiatry. I am the medical director for the inpatient unit, as well as the program director for the geriatric psychiatry fellowship program and serve on several departmental committees.
My husband and I just celebrated our 25th anniversary. We have two amazing daughters, one graduated and one attending UVA. We love traveling both internationally and locally. Outdoors is my place to be. Hiking, walking, following national discourse and involvement in interfaith activities keep me active.

I caught this on my lunch hour today on the corner of Monroe and Secor (while I was pumping gas at the station next to this lot!). I heard an explosion and panicked. A nice gentleman next to me reassured me it was "only the tires" and we were ok (because of course I asked if we were a safe distance and whether or not we should be pumping gas). He told me he was a firefighter and I immediately felt better.
Here is a short clip of the fire. Station #25 showed up seconds later and had that fire out in a flash! I couldn't get that on video because of all the on-lookers and gawkers that were NOT at a safe distance.

Hi Everyone, March gives one hope of spring, although that's probably all it is in most places – a hope. It's been a harsh winter in most of the places I go, with freezing weather, floods, blizzards, and snow. So I'm not sure how fast spring will come, but it's nice to think about at [...]
