Miss Scotland, Ellie McKeating, entered into the ringside spirit at Dalmally Mart on Saturday (September 13th) when she joined in the bidding at the United Auctions' sale.
Miss McKeating who is getting to know Scotland's livestock sector better in her role as ambassador for Scotch Lamb with Quality Meat Scotland (QMS), created quite a stir at United Auctions' biggest Annual Show and Sale of Blackface Lambs in recent years.
Clearly enjoying the buzzing atmosphere of a packed ringside at the sale, which had an entry of some 8000 lambs and feeding sheep, Miss Scotland successfully bid (on behalf on an undisclosed buyer) for a cheviot cross lamb from seller Stuart Galbraith of Barachander Farm, near Loch Awe.
The visit to one of Scotland's leading livestock auctioneers' facility was part of Miss McKeating's induction to the market system. It follows a number of engagements in recent weeks, including joining farmers across Scotland at sampling events during the recent "Love Scotch Lamb Weekend", organised by QMS, NFU Scotland and the National Sheep Association.
And as she toured the bustling Dalmally market, Miss McKeating spoke with UA customers from Crieff, Crianlarich and Oban about their stock and was stopped for selfies by a trio of younger Oban farmers below (l-r Callum Leith, Blair Menzies and Ross Ferguson) who were selling at the bumper event.
Miss McKeating said: "Many thanks to the United Auctions' team and the farmers I met for making me feel so welcome. Having never been to a livestock auction market before it was great to learn about this traditional system and Dalmally Mart's importance to livestock producers and the rural community in such a big area. On thing which came through very strongly was the pride the farmers and auctioneers take in the quality of the livestock and stockmanship skills in this part of Scotland."
She went on to present the James Weir Memorial Trophy for the championship pen of Blackface Lambs to three generations of the Buchanan family of Achnaba Farm, Oban, including Archie Buchanan, his daughter Morag MacCorquodale, husband Donald and their son Donnie.
The Buchanans also achieved the top price of £62.50 for their championship pen bought by Judge Bill Cameron from Keith in Aberdeen.
Miss Scotland also enjoyed a Scotch Lamb burger, courtesy of the marts' café, at the end of her visit.
Peter Wood, UA's auctioneer for the west of Scotland, said: "We were delighted to welcome Ellie to Dalmally. She brought an extra buzz to the place and made a very good sale in which sellers were up on the year even better."

As an entrepreneur, it's not much about how much resources you have. It's more about how resourceful you can be. So, you shouldn't need to try to spend money unless you are making money. And that's kind of the golden rule of any business. There is no need to spend a lot of money on making expensive website of online stores.
To start your own online clothing business is a fun way to make cash. Clothing industry is getting profitable day by day. And, you can avail online clothes business opportunities by using number of platforms available.
Long ago, the resources for clothing business were limited. But now, you can make either your own website or you can use number of available options like Shopify.ca or Etsy.com and eBay.com. Some of these sales platforms offer a free trial service for certain period. Make sure to estimate their service costs after that trial period so that you can bear their cost with your overall sales.
You can start a business of dress rentals service, where you would be able to provide appropriate dresses for particular event such as New Year and Christmas. As, some people don't prefer to buy a new dress for the particular season or event. Or, they tend to wear top-notch dresses on regular basis, and they want some other fresh dress to wear every other day. So, this is a great option for them. Apart from that, you can also put an affordable price on your clothes than that of retail. In addition, you can also start business of wedding dress rental service. Since, it is a complete wastage to spend a lot of money on a dress that you have to wear only once in your lifetime. Some customers prefer to spend that much money while there are many who opt for rental service for the wedding dress. So, you can surely give this business a start for the brides out there!
The other way to start online clothing business is to make uniforms. The online business to provide different kinds of uniform and work wear to various schools and organizations is a good option to avail. You can also expand your online clothing business, in future, by including event uniform and staff uniforms. And later, you can further extend this online clothing business opportunity by introducing woven wears.
Another way to avail online clothes business opportunities are to buy items at wholesale prices and then sell them on various platforms. You can find clothes in bulk and buy them from platforms like Alibaba.com and then sell it to your clients. Other platform is to go for is Amazon.com, which offers selling online program. Through their program, you can get commission on a direct sale from Amazon.
There are a lot of people out there who prefer to buy second-hand or used clothes instead of new ones. As, they have a perception that used clothes tend to be more durable. Thus, you can also think about trying this option and start a secondhand clothing business.
You can also provide services to alter or amend your client's dresses. It happens that people lose weight or sometimes people need a little amendment in their dress for a perfect fit. Or sometimes, your old but expensive dress get out of fashion and you just need little changes to make it trendy. Thus, to provide alteration services to people is a good business option too.
T-shirt designing and printing is very popular and profitable business. Either, you can do this online or offline. Apart from that, you can also buy in-demand clothes from retail store and then sell them for a profit, when supply gets short. This method is also called as flipping. And, if you don't know the market trends correctly then it would be risky otherwise it is extremely profitable.

Trade Associations, organizations of manufacturers or business people engaged in furthering or protecting their mutual interests. Associations include professional, business, technical, and civic societies.
Trade associations are believed to have existed in ancient Egypt and China. In Europe, they came to prominence during the Renaissance when Venetian and other traders formed organizations for solving mutual political and financial problems. Present-day associations are derived chiefly from the merchant guilds of 16th-century England.
An early protective society was the London Association of Guardians for the Protection of Trade, established in 1776. The function of most of the early associations was confined to compilations of registers of bankruptcies, insolvencies, and private settlements with creditors.
A trade association may serve commercial, industrial, or protective functions. Among its main activities are the surveillances of important trade influences, such as legislation, transport rates, tariffs, laws affecting labour, and the quality, method of sale, or inspection of goods. Associations may also seek to keep their members informed of new processes or inventions and of market conditions. Other functions include insurance arrangements, encouragement of trade schools, and the establishment of selling agencies. Trade associations also maintain bureaux of employment.

What happens if your divorced or even married parents start to fight during the wedding? Because weddings can be stressful even for the parents of the bride and groom, tensions tend to run high and sometimes tempers get out of control.
In a case where an argument gets out of hand, the best solution is to isolate the situation so the bride and/or groom do not see anything happening as well as other wedding guests.
In a real life case, a divorced couple got into a heated discussion that started to escalate quickly and we jumped right in to diffuse the situation to remind the parents that this was a joyous occasion and that this was their child's day and that they needed to cool off and walk away.
In the end the bride and groom were none the wiser and the parents came to us and thanked us for helping.

Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) Article
Steps to a functional fund
By Tony Negline.
This article may be out of date.
27th October 2010
This column is often asked what steps are involved in setting up a Self Managed Super Fund.
A fundamental legislative and trust law requirement for superannuation funds is that the assets of the fund must be held 'in trust' for the members of the fund. Therefore, one of the most important tasks when establishing a SMSF is the appointment of trustees and the drafting of the fund's trust deed.
The super laws provide the legislative requirements to follow when deciding on the trustee structure of a Self Managed Super Fund. Trust law, the super laws and a fund's trust deed provide the fundamental requirements relating to the proper conduct of trustees.
There are ten key steps in setting up a SMSF:
Choose A Fund Name
The easiest part of creating a SMSF is to name the fund itself. The Cooper Review suggested to the Government that SMSFs shouldn't be allowed have a name similar to an existing large fund
Obtain A Trust Deed
A trust deed must be prepared as evidence of the existence of the fund. The trust deed also establishes the rules of operation of the fund
Appoint The Trustees And Ensure They Sign The ATO Trustee Declaration
A person must give their consent in writing to act as a trustee. A superannuation fund must also obtain a declaration from a trustee stating that he/she is not a disqualified person under the super laws. The trustee appointment process is set out in the trust deed. A Self Managed Super Fund must have a trustee before the trust deed can be executed.
Elect To Be Regulated Under The SIS Act
In order to receive tax concessions a super fund trustee has to irrevocably elect to follow the requirements of the SIS Act. In practise this election is confirmed when the fund lodges the ATO application.
Lodge An Election With The ATO
The Trustees must complete the ATO form Application to Register for the New Tax System Superannuation Entity (the form can be completed on-line at www.abr.gov.au). Funds can declare that they are a Self Managed Super Fund and hence elect to be regulated by the ATO.
They can also apply for an ABN, Tax File Number (TFN) and register for GST (registering for GST is not compulsory and a fund should think carefully about applying to be registered).
The ATO form can be submitted on-line however it would be prudent practise to make sure that a fund has a paper copy of this form signed by the trustees in its records.
The ATO has amended to process it uses to put new SMSFs onto their databases so that it is harder for super monies to be stolen or for people to access their super prior to retirement. They have also introduced a new SMSF member verification system so large super funds can know that they can transfer or rollover funds to legitimately established small super funds.
Obtain Applications For Fund Membership
All intending members of the fund should provide their membership detail and personal TFNs in writing. At this point a super fund should issue a Product Disclosure Statement.
Establish An Appropriate Investment Strategy
The trustees of a small super fund must formulate and give effect to an investment strategy for the fund (or sub-fund) which has regard to specified legislative factors.
Decide On An Appropriate Accounting Method
There are many issues for a trustee to decide on this particular point. Deciding whether to segregate fund assets is a particularly important issue when a fund has members who haven't retired and members who are receiving pensions.
A trustee also has to decide if they will assign specific assets to a specific member(s).
Appoint External Service Providers
The trustees must decide on the appointment of compulsory external service providers such as an approved auditor, tax agent and possibly even an actuary. Although these services could be provided by a member of the fund acting in their professional capacity, such an arrangement would need to be done for free.
The trustees may also decide to appoint the services of a professional fund administrator, accountant, investment adviser or investment manager(s).
The appointment of external service providers must be made in writing by the trustees.
Whilst the trustees can engage other people to do certain acts or things on their behalf, the trustees are ultimately responsible and accountable for ensuring the fund is run in a prudent manner and administered correctly.
Open The Fund's Bank Account Or Cash Management Trust
Trustees are required to open a bank account in the name of the fund. Alternatively a CMT will also suffice for this purpose. It is essential that the assets of the fund are kept separate from the personal or business assets of any of the trustees at all times. In situations where the trustees have appointed a professional administration manager for the fund, the opening of the fund's bank account is commonly completed or co-ordinated by the administration manager.
Once the above steps have been completed, the small super fund can commence its operations of accepting contributions, investing the assets of the fund and setting up the administration arrangements.

Episode 8: Craig Morgan Teicher
Rachel Zucker speaks with poet, critic, professor, and overall poetry-immersed figure Craig Morgan Teicher. The two discuss Teicher's various roles in the poetry community, the poetry economy, and the glimpses into people's inner lives that poetry affords. By delving into his past as an aspiring comedian and his eventual path to poetry, Teicher offers an insight into what motivates him both professionally and personally in his current life. Through their conversation, Teicher and Zucker attempt to tease out the connections between monstrousness and pain, why certain poets like Robert Lowell are drawn to the sonnet, and how poetry allows readers and poets to connect through a solitary medium.

I was talking with a developer friend today about how I used to work on Oracle as opposed to how I work with SQL Server.
Basically for me it boiled down to the fact that when I worked with Oracle, I was only in the database product. When I work with SQL Server, I'm in SQL Server, the OS, the SAN, and more. Sometimes I even work with the network. So in my case, anyway, I'm more of a multitasker. Sometimes I wonder if that's a good thing - for me it feels like it is.
Speaking of which, InformIT has more than just SQL Server. Need more Oracle info? Here's a great book: http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0672327910

How to improve your retail processes - from space planning to visual merchandising
From range analysis and 3D space planning to publishing visual merchandising guidelines and compliance feedback, many retailers such as ASDA George, adidas, Kaufhof and more have optimised their retail processes using LookDepot's technology. Read on and watch the above video to learn just how.
With the aim of delivering the ultimate in-store customer experience, the retail flow is the process in which a collection of products is sent to stores to be merchandised from head office and presented in the best way possible. As it involves a number of steps to be taken - along with collaboration from several teams - it's important to make this flow simple and effective.
The retail flow covers range analysis and creation of product collections. planning and merchandising the correct store fixtures, production of visual merchandising guidelines and also sending these guidelines to stores - ensuring they have been followed with effective compliance feedback measures.
Having an effective retail flow gives the key benefit of improving collaboration between teams and increasing key retail KPIs.
Range analysis with MockShop
Creating a balanced range of products in a collection is crucial in improving in-store experience and capitalising on current retail trends.
Through using MockShop you can take article data - automatically combined with images of your product samples - and create a visual overview of your collection.
To balance the collection, you can sort and visualise by several criteria such as price, store cluster, margin - or elements such as colour and style to create one that will inspire your customers and improve sell-through.
But that's not all you can do to improve your retail flow by using LookDepot's software.
3D space planning with MockShop
Planning fixtures and store space can be a costly process - especially when using physical mock-up stores. Reducing money and time spent on space planning is therefore crucial to improving this key part of your retail flow.
MockShop allows you to create and fill out a 3D store space with your collection's products imported in real time. All that you need to do is merchandise products from the correct store cluster and drag and drop them into the 3D space. The software calculates a range of key data points so you can ensure your collection will deliver results.
The next step? Publishing a set of concise, complete instructions for merchandising directly to the correct store cluster.
Publishing visual merchandising directives to ShopShape
Publishing visual merchandising guidelines from Head Office can sometimes be fraught with difficulty. That's why it's important to ensure the instructions are clear, visual and are relevant to the right store cluster - otherwise compliance becomes more time consuming.
Once a 3D fixture and planogram has been created in MockShop, all that's required is a single click to publish the directive to store. Now specific stores receive guidelines for their cluster and - using the ShopShape app - can view it on their in-store device in 3d.
From the app they can click on the product, see the quantity, article number, name and any other relevant information.
Compliance feedback with ShopShape
Compliance feedback is crucial in ensuring a consistent customer experience can be spread across all stores of any cluster. Of course, achieving perfect compliance is difficult, so there is a distinct need for a simple feedback process to tackle any issues as they arise.
Now that the fixture is merchandised according to the guidelines from Head or Regional office, the next step is to take a photo of it and the ShopShape software uploads it. The office receives an actual image of the fixture and can communicate with the store in real time in case there are any changes due to lack of stock etcetera.
All stores within this cluster are grouped and have their compliance feedback readily available for the office to view. The Head - or Regional office - then has a centralised dashboard containing the data to help them make key decisions after thorough analysis.

When Adam Lanza walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and fatally shot 20 children and six adults, the attack re-opened a fierce debate about mental illness.
Lanza, 20, reportedly had an unspecified personality disorder, and in the wake of the rampage, many parents have aired their personal stories about struggling to cope with troubled children.

Studies have shown that many children who might need mental health services do not receive them. A 2002 study found that only 23 percent of U.S. adolescents who needed mental health treatment had actually received it in the prior year, according to the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
About 60 million Americans suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in any given year, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
Below is a list of organizations that can help the parents or caregivers of mentally ill children:
The Resources

Why I deleted the Facebook app and Social Media exhaustion
I'm not the only one writing about people experiencing social media hangover now that the smart phone isn't a toy from the future no more. I have worked for several social media projects for corporations within my own brand and even helped manage a social media company myself few years ago and on top of that, spending most of my spare time in whatever app I didn't just open 5 minutes ago... I think I am finally feeling a crash.
I deleted the facebook -app from my phone as I felt like it takes me 2 hours longer to get out of bed during my days off if I have an instant access to it. At first I was just unfollowing and unliking the content I didn't care about but oh well, facebook has an endless amount of content so the algorithms would push other interesting news and long-forgotten-friends on my feed. Obviously I can just open the safari app and go to Facebook that way but just by deleting the app, I noticed that I feel way less tempted to go there.
SnapChat and InstaStory
Snapchat getting more and more popular also got me very excited at first but I just found myself unfollowing a lot of people that I used to find interesting and I still do but... I figured that "maybe their instagram accounts are just enough..." The amount of content that I'd like to engage with... but when you just click through the snaps and see and hear nothing but the first syllable of a word, how is that beneficial to anyone? While it might seem time-saving to just click through your friends MyStory.. How about just call that friend and hear the gossips that wouldn't even be suitable for their social media presence? Ever since InstaStories started to happen I barely even open my Snapchat anymore as it's more convenient to just stay inside one app.
I haven't updated my instagram as much as before this year either and I have felt... just good enough.
But the one thing I realized was that I was actually longing for the blogging era when I first started it in 2007. It is funny how private LiveJournal entries were top secret, friends only and now everything is being shared openly. I have more pictures of myself wearing a bikini out there for everyone to see than I have read books for the past couple of years. That is a weird way to compare it but, reading more books definitely would improve the quality of my life than taking yet another selfie in that H&M bikini.
"But what if I don't update? MyStory is empty for today, my last instagram post says '2 days ago' in the corner." I let all that happen and at first I felt anxiety over it but now I am starting to feel the freedom. I feel like I can get back on track posting more regularly too. And what do I mean by that? I feel like previously my updates have happend because of the need to BE part of this social media and for the 'assumed demand'. Quality being lost.
The exhaustion of all these different ways to reach people also made me neglect my YouTube channel. At some point I just made content for the sole purpose that I was expected to be providing content. When the only one really demanding the content was the voice inside my head.
Content that matters, but to who?
I decided to take a break, and I also figured that I don't have to notify anybody about it either. That's why during 2016 I only uploaded about two videos and really had no desire to update instagram either. What really happend, was that end of 2015 I experienced a burn out and it dragged on for a year.
I want to come back with quality content. With my videos, the fact that so many people have been happy to do my 5-minute morning yoga routine and returned to do it the next morning is just something that makes me feel really happy. With the video I have actually improved somebody's quality of life. The video and audio quality aren't the best but the video itself is one of my very first ones, that I wanted to create and share because I was so excited about yoga myself and wanted to share that feeling. And I think that is what you can sense from the video too and that's why so many viewers have returned to it.
In 2017 when I finally started filming again, I had decided that the feel of mass-production can't be there. The reason why I started making videos in the beginning was because I wanted to and enjoyed it. So I told myself that I can't return to do it until I feel like I can genuinely create them again.
Has social media affected you negatively? Has it made you exhausted? Share in the comments!

Newsletter – Summer 2012
Dear Fellow Owners:
The Board continues to be pleased with the status of the Resort. The building painting, window replacement, and elevator installation projects that we undertook in 2011 have all been successfully completed. The owner feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Another initiative that we undertook was the installation of a gas grill near Pool 4. This has been such a greatly used addition that we are evaluating other possible locations for additional grills. Of course, we do have charcoal grills available, as well. The building refurbishments have also progressed according to our five-year plan.

To the editor: Set aside the ethical lapses made by those bemoaning the loss of nearly unpaid labor that is a consequence of the prison reform brought about by Proposition 47 and consider their mathematical lapses instead. ("Prop. 47 leaves future of California inmate fire crews uncertain," Nov. 12)
State officials claim a savings of $80 million annually, realized by the conscription of 4,000 prisoners who apparently deserve to be paid only a tiny fraction of the roughly $20,000 average seasonal firefighting salary that is earned by their free colleagues.
This calculation does not, however, take into account the $47,000 paid annually by the state to incarcerate each of these same inmate firefighters, who are considered so low risk that they may be trusted to wield deadly weapons in the chaos of a blazing forest.
While it is disappointing that the moral calculus of these officials favors the ill-gotten gains of nearly free labor, the inability to recognize that inmate fire crews are more costly than paid labor exposes a stunning lack of arithmetic skills.
Jonathan May, Culver City
To the editor: As evidenced by the passage of Proposition 47, the people are still way ahead of the politicians on drug policy.
The punitive drug war is not the promoter of family values that some would have us believe. Children of inmates are at risk of educational failure, joblessness, addiction and delinquency.
Incarcerating nonviolent drug offenders alongside hardened criminals is the equivalent of providing them with a taxpayer-funded education in criminal behavior. Prisons transmit violent habits to nonviolent drug offenders who are eventually released with dismal job prospects because of criminal records.
Turning drug users into unemployable ex-cons is a senseless waste of tax dollars. It's time to declare peace in the failed drug war and begin treating all substance abuse, legal or otherwise, as the public health problem it is.

Mother's Day is this Sunday, which means that card you haven't dropped in the mail yet isn't going to make it to your mom in time. There's only one thing you can do to make it up to the woman who carried you for nine months: Record a special single and release it on iTunes as a charity event.
But that's not going to look entirely original, since Justin Bieber already beat you to the punch. He just released "Turn To You," a midtempo ballad that pays homage to his mother by breaking down her narrative, wherein she gets pregnant with Justin, gets her life together, finds Jesus, and later helps to nurture his nascent career.
All proceeds of the single's sales go towards saving the Bethesda Center, an Ontario-based women's shelter in danger of closing that also provided Bieber's mother with assistance while she was pregnant. Give it a spin below.
While not one of Bieber's most melodic offerings, it's still a charming and earnest entry in his catalog (and of course, serves a good cause). Perhaps most importantly, it's further proof that Justin is in full control of his new big-boy voice, which bodes well for his forthcoming album Believe, out on June 19.
What do you think of "Turn To You"? How does it rate against other tributes to mothers, like Tupac's "Dear Mama"?

In Tel Aviv last night I happened to be one of 150,000 people at a rally to mark the 12th anniversary of the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Rabin was killed by Yigal Amir, a right-wing extremist who was opposed to Rabin signing the Oslo Accords in 1993, at which Palestinian leaders recognised Israel's right to exist and a two-state solution reached the agenda (the Accords also brought Nobel Peace Prizes to Rabin, Shimon Peres and Yasser Arafat). The rally was a very flat affair. Attended seemingly only by secular, liberal Israelis, even the secular, liberal newspaper Haaretz described the memorial as 'hollow': politicians said nice things about peace, political will, and defeating extremists on either side (note the irony-free militarised rhetoric by peace advocates), although one of these very ministers has authorised further 'blackouts and starvation' in Gaza, Haaretz' commentator noted.
Today, from prison, Yigal Amir will be permitted to attend his week-old son's circumcision ceremony. Peace protestors threaten to block the road to the prison, but others on the left and Israeli media academics fret that this will simply generate more publicity for Amir and his cause (the "oxygen of publicity" debate). At the memorial rally last night, Defence Minister Ehud Barak said of Amir, 'the prison gates will shut him in until his dying day', Barak unashamedly further politicising a legal decision in a moment of populism. Amir's family already attract considerable media attention and it seems likely the son will never escape the spotlight, ensuring the event lives on for generations.
There is nothing I can write in a quick blog post that would adequately treat this situation, but from a political communications angle one aspect worth pointing out is the relationship between events, rituals and myths. There are lots of events in a nation's life, but not all are so entwined with rituals. A death and a birth: Each year the event will be there, as a memorial and a birthday, and media will give it life, drawn to the metaphorical suggestiveness and easy narrative resonance. Perhaps 'event' when ritualised in this way is as much verb as noun, inasmuch as an event is done, repeatedly, sometimes tiresomely. Like any early death, an assassination creates an absence: those here on the left ask, if Rabin has lived, would he have won more elections and would there have been a better chance of peace? The absence creates and feeds the myth of Rabin. In these ways, the story of the nation as well as political divisions are reinforced around the event. So might anything break this link of event, ritual and myth? Allowing the link to embed itself seems the path of least resistance for a dispirited society, for it offers its own certainties and reassurances, if only of the bleakest kind.

♫ It's the most…wonderful time of the year! ♫
Well, you want it to be wonderful, but most days you feel less wonderful and more stressed out. For many reasons, year end may feel like you're running out of time to complete everything on your to-do list. One way to decrease stress is to be clear about what's important to you. With this clarity, you can choose to focus your time and energy on the items that bring you joy…the items that make this time of year wonderful!
My passion is helping people move forward with courage. You increase your courage by remaining curious about the life around you and ... remaining curious about yourself.
Ask yourself, "What's important to me?" Try my two-step simple process to find out what's important to you and make this the most wonderful time of the year (hint: you can use this process every day and make all year, every year, wonderful!):
STEP 1: Prioritize the items on your list of things to do.
Let's face it, there will always be a list, all year long! The key to managing that list is knowing what's important to you at any point in time.
Pick a quiet moment, look over your to-do list, and assess the importance of each item by assigning a unique sequential number to each item. Hint: No two items can share the same sequential number. Oh, and use a pencil (see my next point).
STEP 2: Repeat STEP 1
Yes, really.
Review your list to reassess and modify the priority of each item as necessary. Do this often because, as life happens your priorities may change, and that's not a bad thing!
What can be a bad thing --- and lead to more stress --- is when you realize you spent time and energy on items that had become less important to you.
Your sense of accomplishment (and joy) will increase when you focus on the right things at the right time (what's important to you) and, of course, cross completed items off your list. So, prioritize your list as often as you need to!
Are you ready to clarify what's important to you?

WASHINGTON — Federal health officials warned doctors Friday that the risk of a deadly brain inflammation linked to the multiple sclerosis treatment Tysabri increases with use of the drug.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Tysabri has been plagued for years by rare cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, or PML, which can cause swelling of the brain that is usually fatal. It is mostly seen in patients with immune deficiencies.
The biotech drug is marketed by Cambridge, Mass.-based Biogen Idec Inc. and Irish drugmaker Elan Corp. PLC, for multiple sclerosis and Crohn's disease.
The Food and Drug Administration said in a statement it has confirmed a total of 31 cases of PML since mid-2006. Eight of those patients have died, as of last month, according to the FDA. The agency posted updated labeling information for the drug to its Web site.
In the new labeling, FDA notes there have been no reports of PML in patients taking Tysabri for less than 12 months. In patients taking the drug for two to three years the rate of PML is one case per 1,000 patients.
The new labeling also warns of a complication of PML, known as Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome, that can dramatically damage patients' health even after they have stopped taking Tysabri. The agency urges doctors to monitor patients for signs of inflammation.
Tysabri was approved in November 2004 and pulled from the market the next year due to PML reports. It was reintroduced in July 2006, and has been used by 66,000 people worldwide.
Shares of Biogen Idec Inc. fell 4 cents Friday to $53.06 in midday trading. Elan dipped 3 cents to $7.11.

Line-of-business executives within communications service providers have recognized the strategic imperative to transform their enterprise product management processes to support the rapid delivery of differentiated converged products. Furthermore, most have recognized the need to eventually adopt purpose-built product lifecycle management (PLM) and product catalog solutions.
These executives recognize that taking a strategic approach to product management will increase their competitiveness, and adoption of full-featured product lifecycle and catalog management solutions will enable them to speed-up, streamline and simplify the development, launch, configuration and management of their products.
Given the scale of the overall challenge, operator business executives face a variety of organizational, process and IT system roadblocks. In most cases, these business executives do not have a clear idea on how to get started down the transformation path.
Ceon RPM is the answer. RPM is a 'fast start' approach that serves as the proving ground and catalyst for mobilizing the organization in making the broader commitment and investment to execute the required product management initiatives.
As part of an RPM project, Ceon consultants will help the operator standardize how products are represented and modeled, map an agreed to subset of the operator's existing products to the new standardized information model (TeleManagement Forum SID-based), and enable testing, viewing and validating the product structure and definitions by the relevant operator personnel involved in the project. To read the detailed service description document, visit http://www.ceon.com/rpmdoc.html.

After some time, the short film I shot for Mike Rymer is finally finished. It's about to go out into the world of film festivals, so until it's had a proper life there, we can't show it online. However the trailer is at Myspace and it will open if you click on the link below.
We shot on Kodak 200T stock, pushed to 400 for the night interiors and exteriors, on a very generous Panavision camera package (Platinum & Primos). Lighting - a 2.5kW HMI PAR and a selection of Kinos and small units - came from Lee Lighting. Deluxe did a great job on the processing and print, and the only VFX elements are the titles burnt into the opening of the film, done at Capital FX in Dering Street.
Christine Hartland was the producer, she and Mike have done wonders to get it this far and we're now very excited about its future. Stills and more information are at the "Sick" website .

Daniel's instinct is to think of video games as mostly a waste of time. Can Kyle convince him otherwise? Is the storytelling approach to video games unique to our age? Together they play the video game "That Dragon, Cancer" and get emotional talking about death.
Media Discussed:
Much of this show discusses the video game 'That Dragon, Cancer', available for Mac, PC, iOS, and Android.
We briefly mention the board games Operation and Life, and describe the puzzle game Rush Hour.
Video games mentioned include the Final Fantasy series, Golvellius, Tetris, the Battlefield series, the Call of Duty series, the Halo series, and Zelda: Ocarina of Time (which Kyle claims is the best video game of all time).
Kyle first heard of That Dragon, Cancer through an episode of This American Life. That episode consisted of clips from "Thank You For Playing," a documentary film on the game.
Daniel first learned of the game through the Christ and Pop Culture Facebook Forum, which you can join by becoming a member here.
Daniel said that the game was covered by Wired Magazine, The New York Times, but had meant to say The New Yorker rather than The New York Post.
The only other video game that Daniel has played all the way through is the beautiful Monument Valley.
Kyle's other podcast is Whatever This Is.
Daniel quotes from two articles on the game. The first is "Slaying the dragon: Video games, fairy tales, and seeing life in this world as it really is", written by Nathan Campbell. It contrasts the experience of playing Fallout 4 with playing That Dragon, Cancer. Here is that full quote:
"Fallout 4 relies on the premise that you can be totally in control of everything — put the right machines together, make the right choices, control the world and your environment just right — and you'll live, not just you, but the society you're building. That Dragon, Cancer makes it clear this promise is a baldfaced lie. It doesn't matter how good you are at pulling levers, or knowing stuff — the monster will take down the machines every time. Hope is found somewhere beyond the machine."
Daniel highly recommends the whole article, especially since it quotes Assumptions favourites James K. A. Smith and Charles Taylor.
The second quote came from The New York Times' profile on the game "This Video Game Will Break Your Heart", which quotes Amy Green, co-creator of the game. "One of the great strengths of video games is that automatically a player goes into a game expecting to have some agency," Mrs. Green said. "And it felt like the perfect way to talk about cancer, because all a parent wants is to have some agency."
Finally, at the end of the show Kyle describes the video game The Stanley Parable.

In addition to the outstanding St Eutychus and The New York Times pieces mentioned above, here are some additional pieces on the game.
This short reflection was written by an atheist as he played the game. It includes the haunting line, "I have been staring at this cursor for a long time. Help me, someone else write this. I want there to be a God, there should be one, because these people deserve an answer."
For a thoughtful Christian perspective on the game, this piece from The Gospel Coalition is helpful. Here are some interesting quotes:
"That Dragon, Cancer" is a hard experience to reduce to language, and perhaps this is part of why Ryan Green, Joel's father, chose the medium of video games to tell the story. Things like sorrow, pain, fear, and doubt can be named and, to a certain extent, described; but as long as they are mere words and concepts their power is limited."
"Often, the allure of video games is that the player is granted special power and agency. One becomes a soldier, business magnate, or superhero at the press of a button. "That Dragon, Cancer" frustrates and subverts the normal expectation of agency. Players are given game-like tasks, like navigating Joel through a field of cancer cells as he clings to a handful of balloons, or racing a wagon through the hospital.
"The facade of power and control crumbles away. It's a brilliant piece of artistry in terms of video game design and theological heft; we players, accustomed to the power to trample our enemies, are shown our impotence in the face of a broken and fallen world. Our works cannot save Joel."
Finally, a recent piece in The Atlantic asking if video games are better without stories sparked a small discussion over on our Facebook Page.

Natural gas is a very convenient, clean and versatile fuel. But like all fuels it must be handled wisely to ensure its safety and efficiency.
If you think you smell gas:
Do Not
|Do turn off the gas supply at the meter
|Do not turn any electrical switches, including door entry systems, on or off
|Do open doors and windows for ventilation
|Do not use matches or light naked flames
|Do extinguish all naked flames
|Do not smoke
|Do check gas appliances to see if the gas has been left on unlit or that a pilot is out
|Do not leave it to someone else to call the emergency service
|Do allow immediate access to our engineer
|Phone our 24-hour emergency line on 0800 002 001
The call handling team will also try to establish if the building is mulit-occupancy, vulnerable customers and other useful information that can be passed onto the first response engineer.
To turn off your gas supply, you first need to locate the gas isolation valve. In more modern houses, the gas meter and isolation valve are often located outside in a meter box.
For assistance in isolating your gas supply, please refer to the following video clip on our You Tube channel.

Remember, if you smell gas phone the 24-hour gas emergency service on:

Are you willing to drive 50 km for a good makan? I mean, a really good one. If you are, there is a small rustic restaurant in Dengkil that may delight you.
Dengkil is a small town in southern part of Selangor, not far from Cyberjaya. The name of the shop is Sinki (成记海鲜饭店), a modest small town makan place. We went there for an early lunch one Saturday. It took us about 40 minutes from PJ, driving along the LDP, passing Puchong towards Cyberjaya. From Cyberjaya, it was just a short 10 minutes away.
It is located at No.96, Jalan Besar in Dengkil town. I will not attempt to provide any directions here. I would be writing too much. Jalan Besar is clearly shown on Google Maps. Following Google's direction is perhaps the best way to get there. I also have a very rudimentary map (at the back of their business card) which may be of a little help. It is really not that difficult to find.
The place is, like I mentioned, modest. It is a typical small town Chinese place. It cannot be more rustic than this...
But it has distinguished testimonials. On the walls of the food shop are pictures of some well known visitors - among them were Chua Soi Lek, Koh Tsu Koon, Chan Kong Choy and Michael Chong.
We had a fish, deep fried and topped with a really delicious sauce. The fish was very fresh and very well fried. The greatness was really in the sauce. It was absolutely delicious on the fish. I could taste soy paste, chili, garlic and ginger in it. What made it so great is probably proprietary that I would never find out.
The deep fried udang galah was superb. Udang galah is a fresh water prawn with a massive head. I don't normally consider it a good eating prawn because it does not have a lot of meat. A lot of the head is inedible. But the udang galah in Sinki was so very well fried that you could actually eat the complete head. It was crispy and every morsel of it was deliciously palatable. The fried prawn was cooked in a nice sauce. To me, Sinki's deep fried udang galah is a must-try.
Next was the sayur paku - a popular Malaysian green. It was plainly fried and its freshness made it a very enjoyable dish.
Our final dish was a pak cham choy yuen kai (白切菜园鸡). It was another enjoyable dish. Just look at my picture and you can perhaps see the firm texture of the chicken meat and how good it was. It was served with a oil-based garlic sauce. Dip the meat in, and every morsel was delicious.
It was a great meal. We were unanimous that our drive to Dengkil's little secret was absolutely worth the while. Apparently Sinki has 6 signature dishes. The fish, udang galah and the chicken were three of them. We will be there again for the other three.
Oh yes... There is another little secret in Dengkil. It is the Hainanese pau (包). I will tell you about them after our next visit.

Evolution of a Set: Day 10/
I can't believe we are already on day 10 for Evolution of a Set. It is amazing how fast these 2 + weeks go when you are building a set. We have a couple of new additions to the set. As you can see the roof outlines were added, windows were added to the brick walls on either side of the set, and the floor also received a paint treatment. Roxy, one of our volunteers, has been busy all day sewing the fabric for the window unit, as well as the table clothes for the restaurant scene.
All and all things are really humming in the scene shop. Stay tuned to see the dramatic finish to our Death of a Salesman set.

Sun Microsystems has established a Centre of Excellence at Wollongong University to develop equipment and services supporting the rollout of digital media in Australia.
The centre will be available to both OEMs and service providers such as television networks to develop and test prototype products and programming.
It will also act as a complementary facility to the Sun iForce Centre located in North Sydney, which has been used to develop interactive TV (iTV) programming for SBS, according to Sun Microsystems national education industry manager Andrew Boulus.
"This centre will enhance the current digital capabilities of the iForce Centre and provide a longer term research and development focus in digital media in Australia," Boulus said.
While the centre has been equipped with an International Academic Grant from Sun, it is not necessary for products and services to be developed on Sun architectures to be prototyped or tested at the centre, according to Digital Media Centre associate director Dr Lori Lockyer.
"We have to be ready to apply digital technologies to any environment and across a number of platforms, of which Sun is one of," Lockyer said.
"OEMs can develop their own equipment and content externally and then use the centre as a test facility but it will also be used to build the actual prototypes."
SBS is currently finetuning an iTV application that will allow viewers to post comments on news stories in a moderated forum in which other viewers and interests can read them and respond.
Speaking at the opening, Communications and IT minister Senator Richard Alston predicted that interactivity will be the killer application that drives digital media takeup in Australia.
"The challenge for broadcasters and OEMs is to make interactivity relevant and easy-to-use," Alston said.
"Next-generation interactive set-top boxes will be the key driver, as will cheaper or free access to digital set-top boxes for viewers."
Alston said the government did not expect to provide any direct financial assistance to the centre to promote the takeup of high-definition TV in Australia.
