The greatest skate: Amateur angler catches 17stone fish - the biggest ever caught in British waters
- It took David Griffiths 90 minutes to pull fish from 500ft-deep sea bed
- Book publisher used mackerel and squid bait to lure the giant fish
- He was given a hero's welcome when he returned to post in Oban
- But record is not official because it was not weighed on a quay or bank
Angler David Griffiths didn't have to fish for compliments after catching this 17stone skate – the biggest caught in UK waters.
It took him 90 minutes to drag the 235lb giant more than 500ft from the sea bed off Oban, western Scotland. At 7ft 6in long by 6ft, it broke the old record by 8lb.
Mr Griffiths, 47, a book publisher from Sarn, Powys, said: 'A fish like this can drag you off the boat. Every part of my body hurt.'

However, his record is not official because the fish wasn't weighed on a quay or bank, as required for it to qualify. Instead, Mr Griffiths let it swim away.
The existing record for a skate caught in British waters was set in 1986.
Mr Griffiths was given a hero's reception by locals when he returned to port following his six day fishing trip with 12-year-old son Will.
He said: 'We were on day two of the trip when I saw my rod tip go and I thought 'right, here we go'.
'Then it was action stations on the boat - everyone dropped what they were doing. It's no mean feat getting a skate off the sea bed when it's 500ft down.
'It took about 30 minutes just to get it off the bottom and then I was fighting it for about another hour.
There's a catch: The fish is not classed as an official record because it was not weighed on a quay or bank
'The rod was strapped to my body and I was strapped to the boat, so essentially I was attached to the fish.'
Despite the epic tussle, Mr Griffith, who used a mackerel and squid bait to lure the record fish, was not expecting the skate to be as big as it was.
He added: 'I knew it was a big fish but I had no idea just how big it was until I got it within 100ft of the surface.
'The water was really clear and the other lads on the boat caught a glimpse of it and one said to me 'if only you could see what I can see now'. Then I knew it was a really special fish.
'When I finally got it to the surface we had to fold its wings in just to get it onto the boat. It was a really beautiful fish.
'I didn't realise it was a record until the boat skipper Ronnie got out his tape measure and said 'congratulations, it's a new British record'.
Man vs nature: It took the book publisher 90 minutes to get the skate off the sea bed and onto his boat
'It was an unbelievable feeling. I became an instant hero on the boat.'
The fisherman used a trusted formula of measuring the length and girth of the fish to calculate its weight before throwing it back safe and well.
Word soon spread of the huge haul and David was mobbed when he later walked into a harbour pub.
He said: 'Everyone was congratulating me - they all wanted to meet the man who had caught the big fish.'
Ronnie Campbell, the skipper of the Oban-based charter boat, the Laura Dawn II, said: 'It's a great achievement to bring in any fish over 200lbs so to land one that is 235lbs is quite something.
'David was lucky to get the bite but showed great skill and strength to see it through.'

Cancer society applauds asbestos registry, but says it should be mandatory
A danger sign is seen outside a construction zone in Ottawa on June 20, 2011. (Adrian Wyld / THE CANADIAN PRESS)
The Canadian Press
Published Wednesday, December 5, 2012 2:26PM CST
The Canadian Cancer Society says Saskatchewan's move to make public a registry of government buildings that contain asbestos is a good first step.
The society says Saskatchewan has shown leadership by being the first province in Canada to do so.
But the group says the province should go further and make the registry mandatory for all public buildings.
The registry is to include the legislature, court houses and equipment storage buildings.
But it will be voluntary for schools, hospitals and health region buildings.
The society says students, patients and staff deserve the same protection from asbestos, which can cause cancer if the fibres are inhaled.
Asbestos is typically found in building materials such as insulation. It is not considered harmful if undisturbed, but renovations or construction work stir up hazardous fibres.

Recent St. Barthelemy reviews
"We had a wonderful experience at this villa! It really was everything we were looking for and we would return and recommend it to anyone. It's in a quiet location on a dead-end street but yet is still easily accessible to everything St. Barths has to offer. The house and deck are very private so we felt very comfortable day and night. The deck and house have wonderful views and gets sun from early morning to about 6pm (in late March). Everything is nicely maintained and updated. In fact, the AC in our kid's bedroom went out but Joe, the owner, had a brand new one replaced in just one day. And with the nice winds it wasn't really missed. Here are some further observations: • Villa has AC only in the bedrooms. That was perfect for us as we wanted to feel the breeze and hear the waves in the main room but have AC for sleeping. • There is no clothing dryer but there is drying rack on the deck that worked great and the washing machine worked well. • The pool is approximately 6+ feet deep with no gradual drop off. So if you have very little kids it's something to keep in mind as we couldn't stand in the pool. Again this worked well for us as our kids are 6-8 and are good swimmers and they loved to jump in the pool repeatedly and this depth allowed them to do that. But if you were planning to hold your kids the whole time while swimming that could be a challenge. The pool was well maintained. • We loved that there is a mini-mart and a couple of restaurants in walking distance as well as shell and swimming beach. (Not the best on the island but still fun to try). • One of the best bakeries on the island is only a 5 minute drive away • Parking was super easy at the villa. No vertical driveway to navigate. • There was plenty of hot water for showers • We appreciated that the house had screens to help keep out mosquitos and we also loved that it had blackout curtains in the bedrooms. • The kitchen is outfitted with only the basic tools and a limited supply of glasses, knifes, etc. It was fine just basic. • Owner Joe, was very nice to deal with in all matters. • Lastly, Joe required us to wire the full amount of the rental to him before we arrived. We were a little nervous doing that but you shouldn't be. He is totally legit."Guest: funinsun Date of Stay: March 2016 Review Submitted: April 6, 2016View listing
"My husband and I just got home from our week in paradise and we are already planning our next trip back! We decided on Villa Kali because of the amazing reviews and the photos and we were NOT disappointed! The views were just spectacular and being in Vitet, you are away from the bustle of Lorient and St. Jean but can easily drive anywhere on the small island. Edie was also such a pleasure to work with and provided us with a lot of very helpful information and recommendations. We would recommend this villa to anyone!"Guest: Cira M. Date of Stay: April 2016 Review Submitted: April 25, 2016View listing
"The villa is located in the best part of the Island. The views of St Jean Bay are the best. You will need no formal exercise as the walk up from the beach is a great workout but well worth it for your fantastic view. The exterior space is fabulous. We hosted a party with 20 people and had room to spare. Peggy, Jerome and Phillipe are very helpful when needed. I also rented villa Mystique previously. The difference between the two is that Mystique's bedrooms are slightly better and has an infinity pool but Sunrise has the awesome exterior space. Can't really go wrong with either one. You probably would want a 4 WD vehicle as some of the grades are steep coming up to the house and if it is wet you would like the extra traction. All in all, great time had by all."Guest: John H Date of Stay: February 2016 Review Submitted: February 25, 2016View listing

Idea Quotes
Ideas are like legs: what good are they if you can't run with them, or spread them?
[Jarod Kintz] [Ideas] [Idea]
You can kill a man but you cant kill a idea.
[Idea] [Sophocles]
There s a difference between being in love and being in love with the idea of love.
[Love] [Stephenie Meyer] [Idea]
Sexy is a strange thing. I'm not sure it has to do with sex. Sexy has to do with not knowing whats coming next. It's unpredictability. Christopher Walken
[Idea] [Sexy] [Definition] [Unpredictability]
My ideas flow so rapidly that I have not time to express them??by which means my letters sometimes convey no ideas at all to my correspondents.
[Jane Austen] [Thinking] [Idea] [Letter]
Everybody listens to me with a focus on my words. This is a mistake. The words are the vehicle to deliver an idea. Always listen to the idea, it's more valid then any words that I can use.
[Words] [Focus] [Idea] [Listen] [Richard Diaz]
The men of pure-hearted and open-minded feel no worry about running out of new ideas.
[Toba Beta] [Idea] [Open Minded] [Pure Hearted] [Abundant]
The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire.
[Idea] [Malcolm Gladwell] [Setting Trends] [Social Behavior]
But when you're in front of an audience and you make them laugh at a new idea, you're guiding the whole being for the moment. No one is ever more him/herself than when they really laugh. Their defenses are down. It's very Zen-like, that moment. They are completely open, completely themselves when that message hits the brain and the laugh begins. That's when new ideas can be implanted. If a new idea slips in at that moment, it has a chance to grow.
[Growth] [Idea] [Path] [George Carlin] [Laugh]
I love classic beauty. It?s an idea of beauty with no standard.
[Life] [Love] [Women] [Creativity] [Idea] [Taste] [Karl Lagerfeld] [Image] [Standards] [Look] [Fashion Designer] [Classic Beauty] [Standard]
I feel as though, if I were to extend my hand just a little toward the pool where the ideas ferment, I could grab at the idea and pull it out of the pool and onto the floor where ideas must stand before the jury of the brain. There, it must present itself, still from the pool, and a bit shivery because new ideas are not given a towel to dry off with, towels being reserved for proven theories; new ideas are simply pulled and stood up, and asked to explain themselves - not a very pleasant thing really, which is why so many people go into the room where the pool is. The exercise is exhausting not to mention a bit difficult to watch, if you are at all a sympathetic creature. What was my idea, anyways?
[Ideas] [Thoughts] [Idea] [Emilie Autumn]
Those who believe that they believe in God, but without passion in their hearts, without anguish in mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, without an element of despair even in their consolation, believe only in the God idea, not God Himself.
[God] [Passion] [Idea] [Believe] [Miguel De Unamuno]
America is not a place. America is an idea that died along with my grandfather. And I?m sorry to say that I shot them both.
[Funny] [Jarod Kintz] [Idea] [Died]
Regret grieves over unchangeable past.
[Toba Beta] [Regret] [Idea] [Useless]
My heart belongs to you,' He promised. 'Would you have loved me when I was a girl?' 'I have always loved you. Even before I met you I loved the idea of you.
[Love] [Idea] [Isobelle Carmody] [Loved]
More powerful than the mighty armies is an idea whose time has come.
[Power] [Victor Hugo] [Idea]
Yet I am stuck in the idea of romance, a dreamer; I want to actually fall in love with a man, then marry him
[Love] [Romance] [Idea] [Marry] [Fall In Love] [Ottilie Weber]
My dear fellow " Said Albert, turning to Franz " here is an admirable adventure; we will fill our carriage with pistols, blunderbusses, and double-barreled shotguns. Luigi Vampa comes to take us, and we take him - we bring him back to Rome , and present him to him holiness the Pope, who asks how he can repay so great a service; Then we merely ask for a cariage and a pair of horses, and we will see the Carnival in the carriage , and doubtless the Roman people will crown us at the capitol , and proclaim us, like Curtius and the veiled Horatius, the preservers of there country." Whilst Albert proposed this scheme, signor Pastrini's face assumed an expression impossible to describe.
[Funny] [Alexandre Dumas] [Idea] [Classic]

I am, ergo I shop: does store image congruity explain shopping behaviour of Chinese consumers?
Abstract:Extant research on the relationship between consumer image congruence and retail store choice suggests that there exist four types of self congruity (actual self-congruity, social self-congruity, ideal self-congruity, and ideal social self-congruity) based on the identification of four types of selfconcept (actual self-image, social self-image, ideal self-image, and ideal social self-image). Mixed results have been produced by research undertaken in the western context particularly in terms of which type(s) of self-congruity is(are) significantly related to consumer attitudes and behaviour. To assess further the predictive power of different types of image-congruity, we conducted an empirical study among Chinese consumers on the relationship between self-congruity, satisfaction, perceived value and store loyalty. China was chosen for this study because recent entry of European and American retailers in China exerts strong need for better understanding of retail consumer behaviour. Moreover both anecdotal and literature evidences suggest that Chinese consumers could differ significantly from the western counterparts in terms of how their self-congruity influences their shopping behaviour. The results of structural equation modelling on our sample (n=320) indicate that consumer attitude and store loyalty are mainly driven by self consistence and social confirmation (i. e., actual self-congruity and social self-congruity) rather than by self-enhancement or esteem (i. e., ideal selfcongruity and ideal social self-congruity). Our finding offers strong managerial implications for western retailers' marketing strategies in the Chinese market.

From January 1, 2015, the maximum sulphur content of fuel oil used within the MARPOL Annex VI Emission Control Areas (ECAs) will be 0.10%, unless using an approved alternative means for controlling sulphur emissions. In most cases, the fuel used will be low-sulphur distillate oil (LSDO). Many ships operating both inside and outside ECAs will changeover between LSDO and residual fuel oil (RFO) when entering and exiting ECAs.
Lloyd's Register Rule requirements
The Lloyd's Register (LR) Rule requirements for fuel oil systems are contained within Pt.5 Ch.14 sections 2, 3 and 4; these contain design requirements for systems which are to operate on either LDSO or RFO grades, or both. LR also offers the optional descriptive note, DIST, for shipowners and operators applying industry best practice to the use of LSDO. The ShipRight Procedure for Assigning DIST Descriptive Note contains further guidance on measures to be considered by owners and operators.
In cases where existing fuel systems, engines or other equipment on LR classed ships are not suitable for operation on LSDO in addition to RFO, or where manufacturers have recommended equipment modifications, any proposed modifications must be submitted to LR for approval. If you are uncertain about whether equipment on board your ships requires approval, please contact your local LR office for advice.
Main points to consider when carrying out fuel changeover
Alternating satisfactorily between LSDO and RFO depends on owners and operators applying established changeover procedures and giving attention to maintenance and operating requirements. Some of the main points to consider are as follows:

Second watch like this I have ordered. I love it! As a gal, I like the bigger men's watches, and this one isn't too large. The Velcro closure makes it easy for me to get on and off, it is comfortable on the wrist, and I can hand wash/sanitize the band. I like having the day and date displayed, and a convenient "night light" button. It was a little hard for me to set up, but the instructions were very good, and I eventually got it!

The watch keeps excellent time, is slightly chunky (which I like in a men's watch), and very distinctive in design. It has unusually large numbers for the day of the month, which I can easily read without reading glasses. It's well worth the price.

Beautiful men's watch .. HUGE face though, be careful that you can pull it off.

This watch is exactly what I needed. I'm female and enjoying the extra sizing that comes with a men's watch. It has both dark letters and dark hands - so I can see what time it is -- a difficult thing to do with light gold hands. Oh, it works well, too. Thanks!

This is a perfect dial-size for men with men who don't want "big ben" sized watches on their wrist. Stylish but simple, for work and pleasure.

Just received the watch. exactly what I wanted. Works great, looks like a watch costing much much more. My local jeweler says it will probably outlast my Seiko or my multi function Wenger. I settled on this watch because of the large day & date display.While on a cruise I was looking for a display like this, duty and tax free, wonder deals, all costing hundreds and thousands more.

Don't have to mess with ordering batteries anymore. Plastic case makes it very light. On the down side.......the "digital" second hand is harder to see and the counter difficult to use when your hands are doing something else at the same time. Plastic face more easily scratched. Overall, a nice "light" watch compared to many of the stainless watches. Less money than the Swiss Army watches that have virtually the same movement. My previous Wenger will stop every so often for no reason. I think, it's the mechanical mechanism for the gears for the dials? All you can do is replace the whole movement (almost $40). Not worth the trouble. Overall, the Casio is a nice inexpensive and light alternate to other watches...and no batteries to replace.
Many people want a timepiece that is waterproof. A watch cannot be completely waterproof because it is made of many different parts, but a water-resistant watch is a great investment, and many can be worn while swimming, showering, and even diving. These sport watches and dive watches are available in a range of styles, for men and for women. Consider these facts when shopping for a water-resistant watch. Read More

- Granzyme;
- Serine proteases;
- Substrate specificity
Granzymes (gzms) are a group of serine proteases that play an important role in innate and adaptive immunity, blood coagulation, apoptosis, and inflammation, but are also connected to atherosclerosis, diabetes, cardiovascular and inflammatory lung diseases, cancer, and sepsis. Humans have five gzms (gzms A, B, H, K, and M), which differ in their substrate specificity. It is widely accepted that they are delivered from cytotoxic lymphocytes via perforin into the cytoplasm of target cells where they initiate cell death, modulate cytokine signaling, or inactivate pathogen proteins. However, more recent evidence indicates gzms also act extracellularly in noncytotoxic processes. Proteomic approaches are directed at mapping gzm cleavage specificity, identifying substrates, and unraveling the (patho-) physiological role of these proteases. These studies have refined our understanding of gzm species specificity, and collectively uncovered an enormous number of new substrates. However, with the exception of a very few human gzmB substrates supported by independent data (Bid, DNA-PK, PARP, ICAD, and procaspase 7), it is presently unclear which are physiologically relevant. This review aims to summarize and analyze the different proteomic approaches used and discuss both their convincing and controversial outcomes.

Hydration is critical to any long-distance run. This bottle can work well for 5k (a little over 3 miles) up to half-marathons (about 13 miles). I will never again go on a run without my trusty handheld bottle.
I thought 22 oz would be too big and heavy to carry around so I actually considered a 10 oz bottle. I'm glad I went with this one. When I run 10-12 miles, this allows me to take a few sips every mile. Marathoners might need a bit more though.
The strap is incredibly comfortable. In fact, I can't imagine anything more comfortable between the material used, the overall weight, and the secure fit. This holder allows you to carry the bottle without actually holding it with your hand.
This thing is so easy to adjust. A simple pull of the strap and it tightens around the hand. When I switch hands, I do a quick release and a quick pull and it's on the other hand in a matter of seconds. There's plenty of room so it also allows me to wear gloves easily. The top snaps up and down without leaking.
The bottle is easy to remove to wash and the holder is well made. Seems like it would last for many years and thousands of miles.
I thought it would take a little getting used to but to be honest, I felt at home with it immediately. Not only is it more convenient then worrying about using a bottle belt but I actually like "holding" it in my hand.Read more ›
What I don't like:
-some reviewers have said the reason they like this is because you don't have to put your hand right on the bottle (if it's cold, that's important). The hand-strap has two different parts, and I'm pretty sure the bottle is designed so that you ARE supposed to have your hand right on the bottle, with the two straps on top of your hand. When I put my hand between the straps, so one strap is between my hand and the bottle, I find this really uncomfortable because the buckle to cinch the strap pinches my hand. I solved this problem by taking the bottle out of the holder, and taping a thin washcloth around the entire bottle, so I can comfortably keep my hand under the two straps (which looks stupid, but does the job).
-I don't like the bottle that comes with it. It's very leaky, and when I put some gatorade in it, the bottle got discolored quickly. I've put my camelback bottle in here instead, and threw out the original
I do like the front pouch, which is a perfect size for one GU, my keys, and a credit card. I also like the selection of colors- I got the pink and it's a pretty color.
This is comfortable to carry, even when full, for hours on end. At some point it is easy to forget that you are even holding anything.
My one gripe is with the tiny pocket in the front. My slim cellphone barely squeezes in and I would not be able to carry anything larger. It would be nice to have a stretchy pocket so larger things can be secured.

Listen to Drive with Russell Woolf this week to see Tex Perkins at the ArtBar.
Tex Perkins has played a key role in Australian music, with a career that has taken in everything from the ground breaking experimental punktonica of Sydney mid-80s noiseniks Thug to the lilting, dark country of his recent material with The Dark Horses, from the hard edged pub rock of the Beasts Of Bourbon's, to the evocative soundscapes of The Cruel Sea, Tex has heralded the emergence of an entirely original yet archetypically Australian sound.
At his first ArtBar appearance Tex will be joined by guitarist and good friend Charlie Owen for an intimate show on Thursday 9 May.
Unfortunately the show has sold out so the only way you can get there is to listen out for the daily cue to call this week on Drive!

No one needs more help suppressing home runs than Anibal Sanchez. Anibal Sanchez has a problem with dingers. Or perhaps it's the Tigers who have a problem. Sanchez has handed out home runs like candy over the past year and a half, so his feelings on them are murky at this point. Jose Abreu's feelings are much clearer. The Chicago White Sox first baseman has pumped 77 long balls since arriving in the majors in 2014. He made a bid for number 78 Sunday afternoon, but Justin Upton had other ideas. The best part is the fact that everyone in the park thought it was gone. The fireworks...

The Tigers looked awful, then they didn't. Then they did. While the Cleveland Indians were getting swept in Baltimore, the Detroit Tigers' offense laid down and died for eight innings and the game looked out of reach. Miraculously, that master of the pinch-hit situation, Brad Ausmus, brought Tyler Collins and Jarrod Saltalamacchia in to launch solo shots off of David Robertson in the top of the ninth, tying the game. Brad Ausmus, Bruce Rondon, and especially Nick Castellanos then combined to give it away, and the Tigers lost 5-4 to split the series. With Anibal Sanchez on tap to start,...

"We're in second place. We're pretty close in the wild card. I don't think selling is on our mind," Upton said.

Congrats, Justin! https://t.co/614PIOWX4g— Detroit Tigers (@tigers) July 19, 2016 Justin Upton has a ton of raw power, and has a history of launching some mammoth home runs. While Tigers fans haven't seen as many dingers from Upton as they first expected, he was able to treat the home fans to another long homer on Monday. This particular home run was the 200th of his career and his 10th of the season. Congrats on the milestone, J-Up!
Grand Rapids Press Jul 18, 2016
The home run was the 10th of the season for Upton. Detroit Tigers left fielder Justin Upton hit the 200th home run of his career in the second inning Monday night. Upton's 419-foot blast down the left field line gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead over the Minnesota Twins. The home run off of Twins starter Ricky Nolasco was the 10th of the season for Upton.

InfoWorld review: Flash Builder 4 lights up rich Internet app development
Fresh out of beta, Flash Builder 4 delivers time-saving tools that speed data delivery for Flex apps, streamlines testing and workflow for Flash and AIR
The only downside to the network monitor, performance profiler, and unit test framework is that they are only available in the Premium edition of the package -- but they're well worth the cost.
Flash forward
Many of the dev and debug features in Flash Builder 4 are hardly innovations; they've been available in professional IDEs for some time. However, having them included within the Flash/Flex environment helps to promote the framework and bring it in line with enterprise-grade development expectations.
Other improvements to the Flex 4 Spark architecture offer more flexible runtime layout opportunities, new transition animations, and the 3-D capabilities supported by the Flash Player 10.
There are new additions for Adobe-centric design shops as well, such as easy integration and editing of Flash Pro content directly from Builder. Although this seemingly lends to a reblending of developer/designer stratification, it could be a helpful shortcut in small shops.
Additionally, support for FXP graphics interchange format among the Adobe CS4 product suite extends to Builder as well, making for easy resource sharing.
The bottom line: Flash Builder 4 is a must-have tool for anyone developing data-driven applications on Flex. The IDE will demonstrably shorten the development cycle by exposing data, streamlining workflow, and simplifying change management so that your Flex apps will remain nimble.
Bottom Line
|Pros & Cons
|Adobe Flash Builder 4
|Flash Builder 4 Standard, $249 ($99 upgrade from Flex Builder 3); Flash Builder 4 Premium, $699 ($299 upgrade from Flex Builder 3)
|Supports ASP.Net, J2EE, HTTP/REST and SOAP Web services, PHP, BlazeDS, ColdFusion, and LiveCycle Data Services
