It's time of the granddaddy of them all, our sort-of-annual first paragraph challenge! Will your paragraph wow the masses? Do you have the first paragraph to end all first paragraphs?
We shall soon find out.
Let's get to the good stuff. THE PRIZES!
The ULTIMATE GRAND PRIZE WINNER of the SUFPC will win:
1) The opportunity to have a partial manuscript considered by my utterly fantastic agent, Catherine Drayton of InkWell, whose clients include bestselling authors such as Markus Zusak (The Book Thief), John Flanagan (The Ranger's Apprentice series) and Becca Fitzpatrick (Hush Hush), among others.
2) A signed advance copy of my novel, JACOB WONDERBAR AND THE COSMIC SPACE KAPOW, which is coming out in May:
3) The pride of knowing your paragraph was like the platonic ideal of first paragraphs it was so awesome.
The FABULOUS RUNNERS UP will receive the satisfaction of knowing that they were among the very best, as well as a query critique from yours truly.
There may also be honorable mentions, where still more satisfaction will be had.
So! Here's how this works. Please read these rules carefully:
a) This is a for-fun contest. Rules may be adjusted without notice, but this one will always remain: please don't take the contest overly seriously. This is for fun. Yes, the grand prize is awesome and I would have kidnapped a baby koala bear to have my manuscript considered by Catherine Drayton without so much as a query, but don't let that detract from the for-funness of the contest. For fun. Seriously.
b) Please post the first paragraph of any work-in-progress in the comments section of THIS POST. Please do not e-mail me your submission. The deadline for entry is THURSDAY 4pm Pacific time, at which point entries will be closed. Finalists will be announced…. sometime after that. (Possibly Friday, possibly the following Monday, possibly the year 2032 but probably not the year 2032). When the finalists are announced you will exercise your democratic rights to vote for a stupendously ultimate winner.
c) Please please check and double-check and triple-check your entry before posting. But if you spot an error after posting: please do not re-post your entry. I go through the entries sequentially and the repeated deja vu repeated deja vu from reading the same entry only slightly different makes my head spin. I'm not worried about typos, nor should you be.
d) You may enter once, once you may enter, and enter once you may. If you post anonymously, make sure you leave your name.
e) Spreading word about the contest is strongly encouraged.
f) I will be sole judge of the finalists. You the people will be the sole judge of the ultimate winner.
g) I am not imposing a word count on the paragraphs. However, a paragraph that is overly long may lose points in the judge's eyes. Use your own discretion.
h) Please remember that the paragraph needs to be a paragraph, not multiple paragraphs masquerading as one paragraph.
i) You must be at least 14 years old and less than 147 years old to enter. No exceptions.
j) I'm on Twitter! You can find me at @nathanbransford and I may be posting updates about the contest.
That is all.
GOOD LUCK! May the best paragraph win and may it be rather awesome.

This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Rachel Martin. In Massachusetts, nearly 36,000 runners are preparing for tomorrow's Boston Marathon. This year's race is a tribute to the three people who died in the bombing that happened shortly before 3 p.m. last year near the finish line. At least 260 other people were injured in the attack. Tomorrow, Boston city streets will again be lined with hundreds of thousands of spectators there to cheer on the runners, intent on reclaiming this year's race as a symbol of the city's resilience. And yes, security at the marathon will be tighter than ever. NPR's Jeff Brady reports.
JEFF BRADY, BYLINE: Last year, Phil Dervin (ph) of Stratham, N.H. was almost finished running the 26.2-mile course when police stopped the race. At first, he was annoyed, but then learned about the attack near the finish line and that people were injured. As runners piled up behind him, one question came to mind.
PHIL DERVIN: You know, what's going to happen now? I mean, there's thousands and thousands of people congregating. In fact, I remember looking around thinking, well, there could be a bomb here.
BRADY: Dervin says he grew up in England were there were attacks like this because of the dispute over Northern Ireland. The security changes in Boston this year are familiar to him or anyone who remembers the September 11 attacks. More officers, more cameras and more restrictions on what you can bring to a public place. Dervin says those precautions are necessary now, but he never considered staying home this year.
DERVIN: Not for one second did it stop me from, you know, wanting to run this year - the events of last year, not for one second.
BRADY: Authorities spent months developing a new security plan. And they believe that tomorrow, the entire marathon route and the finish line near Copley Square will be safe. Boston Police Commissioner William Evans was among those reinforcing that message this past week.
COMMISIONER WILLIAM EVANS: No one should be afraid to come to Copley Square, and nobody should be afraid to run the 118th Boston Marathon.
BRADY: The Boston Athletic Association organizes the marathon. And this year, the group says there are nearly 36,000 runners, 9,000 more than last year. The group predicts there will be a million spectators, twice the usual number. A temporary structure that marks the finish line bridges Boylston Street. It's covered in blue, and all week, people have been stopping by to admire it and pull out their phones.
DENA GIGGY: I was just going to take some pictures of the finish line, just probably send it to some of my family that won't be around here.
BRADY: Dena Giggy (ph) lives in nearby Cambridge. And she says the extra security is comforting. Asked if she'll be here tomorrow, Giggy says she's not sure yet, but not because of any potential danger.
GIGGY: It's kind of weather dependent. I'd like to come by, though, and, you know, pay my respects and also enjoy the yearly tradition of being over at the finish line.
BRADY: So far, the weather forecast looks good - a mostly sunny sky and temperatures in the 60's. Since Friday, runners like Mary Shien of Lenox Dale, Mass. have been showing up at a nearby convention center to pick up a clear plastic bag.
MARY SHIEN: Well, it's our race bag. It has our number, it has our T-shirt, it has some free goodies.
BRADY: This will be Shien's first marathon. She says she was inspired to run by people who were injured last year and then shared their recovery stories.
SHIEN: They've overcome everything they have in past year, and it's the least I can do is go out and attempt to run 26.2 miles 'cause they've persevered. And they've accomplished a lot more than I will.
BRADY: Nearby, Jerry Hester (ph) of Conway, Ark. says this is his third Boston Marathon. Though, he missed last year, he says, once a person runs in this race, it means something to them.
JERRY HESTER: Anytime it's threatened like it was, I think it just brings a very strong bond among runners. And they want to show that they're not going to be intimidated by something like what happened last year.
BRADY: Today, Hester will prepare for the big race tomorrow. He says the plan is rest, lots of pasta and plenty of water. Jeff Brady, NPR News, Boston. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Steps to Add a New Wiki Page
Table of Contents
You can create a new wiki page by typing the CamelCase name of the page in the quick-search field at the top of the page, or by trying to view a wiki page of that name. Note that a page is "orphaned" by default until it is linked to from another page.
You must be granted permission to create wiki pages. If you don't see the Create this page button when visiting a non-existent wiki page, you lack appropriate permission. Contact your local Trac administrator for more information.
A new wiki page can also be created as follows:
- Choose a name for your new page. See WikiPageNames for naming conventions.
- Edit an existing page or any other resource that support WikiFormatting and add a link to your new page. If your page name is CamelCase, you can simply type the page name, provided the ignore_missing_pages option is
(the default). - Save your changes.
- Follow the link you created to take you to the new page.
- Click the Create this page button to enter edit mode and add content to your new page.
- Save your changes to publish your page.
Rename a page
While choosing a good page name is important for usability purposes, you can always rename the page later. You will need the WIKI_RENAME permission to rename pages.
When renaming a page, you'll be offered the possibility to create a page at the old location that contains a link to the new page, so that links pointing to the old location are not "dangling" (i.e. pointing to a non-existent page).

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?
Being required by someone else's religious beliefs to behave contrary to one's sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

This Application is provided strictly on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Use of the Service is at Users' own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Owner expressly disclaims all conditions, representations, and warranties — whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of third-party rights. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by user from owner or through the Service will create any warranty not expressly stated herein.

For 7 March 2023, Tuesday of the second week of Lent, based on Matthew 23:1-12
Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 'The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat; therefore, do whatever they teach you and follow it; but do not do as they do, for they do not practise what they teach. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of others; but they themselves are unwilling to lift a finger to move them. They do all their deeds to be seen by others; for they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long. They love to have the place of honour at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues, and to be greeted with respect in the market-places, and to have people call them rabbi. But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all students. And call no one your father on earth, for you have one Father—the one in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. All who exalt themselves will be humbled, and all who humble themselves will be exalted.

Windows Blue/9: No Desktop? No Way!
A leak of an allegedly major revision of Windows 8 hit the web last week. Microsoft's focus seems to be on developing the Metro interface, but will they ever actually remove the desktop? Absurd!The desktop is a major strength of Windows!
There was a flurry of blogosphere action over the weekend related to a leaked version of a future Windows build. It's code-named Windows Blue and for obvious reasons some are calling it Windows 9, but who knows what it really is. I recommend the excellent video put up by WinBeta for a tour.
The focus seems to be all on the new Windows interface (what everyone but Microsoft calls Metro). There are new tile sizes, new gestures, and a new ability to "snap" more than one app together on the desktop, as shown here:
Windows 9 (Blue) apps side-by-side

What got me mad enough to write this column was the assertion by some (mostly Paul Thurott) that, as Paul puts it:
All the action in this build is in PC settings, and if you were looking for any further proof the desktop being eased out going forward, look no further than this. As noted in the previous report, there are a ton of new settings in there now, including many items that were previously only available in the desktop-based Control Panel interface. This is clearly an indication of how we get from here (Windows 8) to there (Windows 9, with potentially no desktop).
Easing out the desktop? Can anyone actually believe this? Earth to Paul: The Windows desktop is a major strength of the operating system, *especially* as compared to the competition. There is an ocean of expertise and customized software out there on the Windows desktop, and Microsoft would never alienate these people. As it happens, these people are concentrated in the large enterprises on which Microsoft depends for the lion's share of their immense revenues.
In fact, what really makes Windows 8/Metro stand out is that it works side-by-side with the desktop mode. The right strategy should be to expand their ability to work together, for instance by letting Metro apps work on the desktop. And, as I've said before, Microsoft needs to stop hiding the desktop in Windows 8 and make it more like the Windows 7 interface.
Windows 9 (Blue) Start page

Overall I'm underwhelmed by what I see in Blue, but it's basically a leak of a pre-alpha version, so I wouldn't expect much at this point. Is it just flashy stuff in the Metro UI? My respected former colleague Joe Wilcox at Betanews thinks it's all about the bling. "Perception is everything" Joe says, and actual utility is less important in the market now, including the stock market, than the perception that Microsoft is turning Windows into a modern OS that can compete with Apple and Google. I'd hate for this to be true, but it might be.
But even if the highest priority is to improve the Metro interface, that's not a reason to abandon the desktop interface. A strong desktop *and* a strong touch interface are the magic combination. Without the desktop, Windows is just another touch OS.

About the Philippines
History & People | Geography | Climate | Travel Formalities | Accessibility | Accommodation | Arts and Culture
History & People
The Philippines is the third largest English speaking country in the world. It has a rich history combining Asian, European, and American influences. Prior to Spanish colonization in 1521, the Filipinos had a rich culture and were trading with the Chinese and the Japanese. Spain's colonization brought about the construction of Intramuros in 1571, a "Walled City" comprised of European buildings and churches, replicated in different parts of the archipelago. In 1898, after 350 years and 300 rebellions, the Filipinos, with leaders like Jose Rizal and Emilio Aguinaldo, succeeded in winning their independence.
In 1898, the Philippines became the first and only colony of the United States. Following the Philippine-American War, the United States brought widespread education to the islands. Filipinos fought alongside Americans during World War II, particularly at the famous battle of Bataan and Corregidor which delayed Japanese advance and saved Australia. They then waged a guerilla war against the Japanese from 1941 to 1945. The Philippines regained its independence in 1946.
Filipinos are a freedom-loving people, having waged two peaceful, bloodless revolutions against what were perceived as corrupt regimes. The Philippines is a vibrant democracy, as evidenced by 12 English national newspapers, 7 national television stations, hundreds of cable TV stations, and 2,000 radio stations.
Filipinos are a fun-loving people. Throughout the islands, there are fiestas celebrated everyday and foreign guests are always welcome to their homes. (Source: www.visitmyphilippines.com)
The PHILIPPINES stands at the crossroads of the developed western world and the Orient. It lies in the heart of Southeast Asia, stretching more than 1,840 kilometers. Composed of 7,107 islands, the Philippines is readily accessible to the different capitals of the world. Its three main islands are Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
The South China Sea washes its western shores. Taiwan, China and Hong Kong are northern neighbors and further north is Japan. To the west lie Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. An arm of the archipelago reaches out towards Borneo and at its feet stands the chain of Indonesian islands. To the east and south, the waters of the Pacific Ocean sweep its headlands, looking out towards Micronesia and Polynesia.
Its unique location has made the Philippines the commercial, cultural and intellectual hub of Asia from the dawn of history.
November to February is the coolest months and a good time to visit the Philippines as far as weather is concerned. Meanwhile, March to May is the summer months in the country and are classified as hot and dry. June to October is rainy, with the months between July and September characterized by typhoons.
The average temperature in the Philippines is 86°F / 30°C; average humidity is 77%. Some parts of the country such as Cebu and its neighboring provinces in the Visayas are warm and comfortable in all seasons and can be visited throughout the year.
Travel Formalities
Tourists can visit the Philippines without a visa if staying in the country for 21 days or less; provided tourists have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months and a return ticket or a ticket to another destination outside the Philippines. If you wish to stay longer you must obtain a Visa Extension either before your trip from a Philippine Consulate or Embassy. Or, once in the country, you may obtain it from the Bureau of Immigrations.
Upon arriving; Visitors are allowed to bring in duty free personal belongings, two cartons of cigarettes or two tins of pipe tobacco and up to one liter of alcohol. "Balikbayans" have separate rules and should check with the Embassy or Consulate in their home city.
You may bring in unlimited amount of foreign currency. Upon Departure; any antiques you may have acquired during your stay must be accompanied by a certificate from the National Museum. You may not take more than PhP5,000.00 (five thousand Philippine pesos) out of the country.
The currency in the Philippines is the Peso (PHP) and the Centavo. 100 centavos = P1. Coin denominations are: 1, 5, 10, and 25 centavos, P1, and P5. Bill denominations are 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1, 000 Pesos.
Foreign currency may be exchanged at your hotel, and in most of the large department stores, banks and authorized money changing outlets. Exchanging money anywhere else is illegal and the laws are strictly enforced.
Most large stores, restaurants, hotels and resorts accept major credit cards including American Express, Visa and Master Card. Traveler' s checks preferably American Express are accepted at hotels and large department stores. Personal checks drawn on foreign banks are generally not accepted.
Philippine Nationals are expected to pay for the Philippine Travel Tax upon departure from the Philippines. It is usually paid at the airport upon departure or; oftentimes, already included in the cost of the ticket when purchased. US Nationals and Permanent Residents (Green Card Holders) are exempt from the Philippine Travel Tax. US Permanent Residents need to secure a Travel Tax Exemption Certificate from the Philippine Tourism Authority at the Department of Tourism Building at TM Kalaw Street, Ermita Manila. The Philippine Travel Tax is PHP1,620.00 (approximately $35.00).
All passengers departing from the NAIA (Ninoy Aquino International Airport) are expected to pay the Airport Terminal Fee of PHP750.00 (approximately $17.00). No one is exempt from paying the Airport Terminal Fee.
Manila, Cebu, Davao, Clark, Subic, and Laoag are the international gateways, with the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila as the premier gateway. It is served by more than 30 airlines, which fly to different cities around the world. The Mactan International Airport (MIA) in Cebu handles regular flights from Japan, Singapore, and Australia as well as chartered flights from Hong Kong, the United States, and other major travel capitals. Davao International Airport handles regular flights from Indonesia and Singapore. The Diosdado Macapagal International Airport and Subic Airfield in Central Luzon service both chartered and cargo planes. Laoag International Airport in Ilocos Norte services regular flights from Taiwan and Macau. Website: www.philippineairlines.com
Philippine Airlines (PAL), the national flag carrier and considered "Asia's First Airline," remains the country's biggest airline company. It has the largest number of international flights to the Philippines as well as domestic flights. PAL links Manila to 14 cities in 8 countries, and flies regularly to 41 domestic destinations outside Manila.
Cebu Pacific Air (5J), the low fare leader in the Philippines, is the country's leading domestic airline with the lowest year-round fares, most number of destinations, most number of routes, most number of flights, most number of passengers flown in its domestic network and newest fleet of brand new Airbus A320s, Airbus A319s and ATR 72-100s.

Other airlines that presently fly the Philippine skies are Air Philippines, South East Asian Airlines, Laoag International Airlines, Zest Air (formerly Asian Spirit Airlines), and Pacific Airways – each serving popular tourist destinations at pocket-easy prices. For a more personal experience, chartered flights are available via small air companies such as Airspan Corporation (helicopters), A. Soriano Aviation, and Aerolift Philippines (small-to-medium-sized planes).
As the 7,107 islands of the Philippines are separated by different bodies of water, the sea plays an integral part in traveling to and within the country. A range of seafarers are available, from huge cargo ships to small ferry boats; take long trips that last for a day or two with regular ship lines or take shorter ones with ferries. Major cruise liners call on the port of Manila.
WG&A Lines, a partnership between William Lines and the Aboitiz Group, has launched its SuperFerry Program, an affordable but convenient alternative to the usually crowded vessels of other ship lines. Website: www.SuperFerry.com.ph.
Metro Manila, as well as key cities and towns throughout the country, offer a wide selection of deluxe, standard, economy, and pension-type accommodations. In island destinations, there are a variety of resorts ranging from deluxe to special interest categories.
Arts and Culture
The major cultural agencies of government are the Cultural Center of the Philippines, the National Historical Institute, the National Museum, The National Library, the Records Management and Archives Office, and the Commission on the Filipino Language. The Heads of these cultural agencies are all ex-officio members of the National Commission on Culture and Arts (NCCA) Board.

LOS ANGELES (AP)—An experimental, unmanned aircraft developed for the U.S. Air Force went hypersonic during a test off the Southern California coast, traveling at more than 3,000 mph, the Air Force said Friday.
The X-51A WaveRider flew for more than three minutes under power from its exotic scramjet engine and hit a speed of Mach 5.1, or more than five times the speed of sound.
The test on Wednesday marked the fourth and final flight of an X-51A by the Air Force, which has spent $300 million studying scramjet technology that it hopes can be used to deliver strikes around the globe within minutes.
The previous three flights ended in failure or didn't reach the intended speed.
Though the WaveRider was designed to reach Mach 6, or six times the speed of sound, program officials were satisfied with its performance in the latest test.
"It was a full mission success," program manager Charlie Brink of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base said in a statement.
The sleek, missile-shaped WaveRider was released from a B-52 bomber 50,000 feet above the Pacific and was initially accelerated by a rocket before the scramjet kicked in.
It reached Mach 4.8 in less than half a minute powered by a solid rocket booster. After separating from the booster, the scramjet engine was ignited, accelerating the aircraft to Mach 5.1 at 60,000 feet.
The flight ended with a planned plunge into the ocean.
The WaveRider traveled more than 230 miles in six minutes, making it the longest hypersonic flight of its kind. Engineers gathered data before it splashed down.
Darryl Davis, president of Boeing Phantom Works, which built the WaveRider, called the test "a historic achievement that has been years in the making."
"This test proves the technology has matured to the point that it opens the door to practical applications," Davis said in a statement.
While the Air Force did not have immediate plans for a successor to the X-51A, it said it will continue hypersonic flight research.

USDA Loans offer flexible options as either Fixed Rate or Adjustable Rate mortgages. You may qualify with less than perfect credit. Buying a home with little or no down payment can provide opportunities for buyers that otherwise may not be able to become homeowners. Fortunately for today's buyers, there are a few programs that can help them qualify for a mortgage with a very small down payment. One that is not widely discussed is the USDA Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program.
What is a USDA home loan?
The United States Department of Agriculture, USDA, administers the program but does not actually loan money. Similar to loans backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, VA, or Federal Housing Administration, FHA, these loans are guaranteed by the USDA. Private lenders, such as banks or credit unions, still loan money to the home buyer but they know that the USDA will pay if the borrower is unable.
This allows lenders to assume less risk, and as a result they are okay requiring less money down.
Who can use the USDA program?
Contrary to its name, the USDA loan is not only available for those in an agricultural setting. The USDA loan is designed to help "low and moderate income households the opportunity to own adequate, modest, decent, safe and sanitary dwellings as their primary residence in eligible rural areas."
To use the USDA loan, applicants must meet income requirements and be purchasing a home for their own primary use in an eligible area. Potential homeowners can look up each property's address to see if it qualifies or talk to a lender about using a USDA loan in their area. The loan can be used for new homes, existing homes, and even homes that need some renovations.
If coming up with a sizable down payment is holding you back from your dreams of home ownership, the USDA loan may be just the answer you are looking for.
How USDA Loans Work
- Purchase your home with as little as 0% down payment.
- 30-, 25-, 20- and 15-year terms are all available with fixed rates.
- 5-year adjustable rate mortgage available.
- No monthly PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance).
- USDA loans are governed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
- Pay your mortgage off at any time without pre-payment penalties.
Qualification Requirements
- Household income limits apply and are based on location.
- Only available in certain areas. Talk to a specialist today to see if it is an option for you!
- Buy a home with no money down (primary home).
- Refinance up to 100% of your primary home's value.
Have questions? Give us a call! One of our mortgage specialists would be happy to answer all of your questions.
**Citizens Financial is not affiliated with or acting on behalf of or at the direction of FHA, VA, USDA or the Federal Government.

My voice has a warm, straight, friendly, genuine and honest feel. I am a trained actor and I have over 15 years experience in voice overs. My voice has been featured in commercials all over the world.
Larissa is a female voice actor located in Sydney, Australia. Words that describe my voice are friendly, down to earth, warm.
Testra Communications (Australia), Baileys, Sara Lee, Porsche, Optus , OpelSKILLS AND EXTRA SERVICES
Each voice talent has their general 'turnaround time' listed above. This is not a guarantee but each voice will aim to get back your recording in the quickest time. The sooner you hire them, the faster you'll have your recording back! Some talent provide 4 hour turnaround time for clients that need something super fast. To find out who is available right now to get something back within a few hours, we strongly recommend posting a FREE JOB NOTICE.
This depends on how many words are in the script and where the recording will be used. If it's not going to be used on television, radio or a phone system, there's a good chance it will fall into 'Non-Broadcast'. If it's going to be used on the internet then it would fall into 'Internet Only'. All the rates can be found on the Voice Over Rates page.
If this voice talent offers Phone/Skype Patch or ISDN, Source Connect, ipDTL, or SoundStreak facilities, then you can hear them record in real time. There is a small additional fee for this. One of the big differences between us and other websites is that ALL of our voice talent are professionals, so most of the time if you give them good, clear direction with the script, or point out a style in one of their demos that you like, they'll be able to replicate it for you without the need to listen in meaning you get your recording back sooner.
You sure can! Our voice talent are full time voice actors, not hobbyists like on other sites. If a voice is UNAVAILABLE a logo will be clearly displayed on their profile along with their anticipated return date. If you need to audition a voice or check that they will be available to record at a specific time you can message them through the 'CONTACT / FREE AUDITION' link on their profile. Where it asks for a script, just mention that it's 'still being developed'.
You simply click HIRE VOICE TALENT NOW next to their profile picture. The system will then lead you through. Prior to sending the script, you make pre-payment with a credit card which we hold onto. This protects you and the voice actor. When you're happy with the recording you click a button to close the job and release the funds. You'll also receive an instant tax invoice! We accept major credit cards and PayPal. We can also set up accounts with long term clients.
For jobs of less than 750 words you are able to request an additional two full re-records for changes in VOCAL TONE AND STYLE after the first full recording is delivered. If you change any part of the script after the voice actor records, small REVISION FEES apply. These are shown on the Voice Talent Rates page. We strongly recommend asking the voice actor for a few 30 second samples of varying styles to get the tone and speed correct before they record the entire script.
Recordings that are made for NON-BROADCAST use, including phone messages and YouTube clips, E-learning, audiobooks, personal use etc are buyout in perpetuity. Meaning you own the recording for use in any 'non-broadcast' use forever with no additional fees. For BROADCAST recordings used as TV, Radio, or Internet Commercial spots, these licences are for 1 years usage from the date of recording. Buyout in perpetuity (unlimited usage forever) for these is double the rate. Recordings with multiple category uses should have all applicable rates selected.
Yes most talent offer these production services. However you must provide the voice with the music you want mixed with the voice. You also need to pay a small extra fee for this service. Make sure you add 'PRODUCTION' when you hire them.
All our voice actors have professional broadcast quality recording studios. They record using professional microphones, not using cheap plastic microphones like you'll get at other websites. After all, they are representing your brand and product, and the sound reflects on the quality of your business, so you should have the best for a recording that's going to be used for years!

Crusty Bread Sandwich
- Soak instant yeast into the water until dissolved.
- Add bread flour, salt and sugar into mixing bowl and mix well with a rubber spatula.
- Add egg and dissolved yeast into it, use mixer with dough hook attachment and switch machine to medium speed until mixture becomes a soft dough.
- Place soft dough on dusted flour surface and press dough down with the heel of your hand, then roll the dough towards you, turn dough and repeat a few times (about 5 mins). Add crisco shortening in the center, wrap it up and repeat the process again until it's smooth and elastic and shape it into a ball.
- Cover the dough in a bowl and let it rest for about 30 mins or dough rises to double or triple.
- Use your index finger to poke the dough, it does not spring back, it is ready to use.
- Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 9 equal pieces about 55g each and knead smooth into round balls, cover with plastic sheet and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Rub a small amount of flour on the rolling pin and roll dough to long length, about 8 inches long and 4 inches wide.
- Use your hand to roll up the dough, gently press the dough as you roll.
- Prepare one lightly beaten egg on a small tray and breadcrumbs on another tray.
- Dip dough on the lightly beaten egg and coat with breadcrumbs, let it rest for another 10 mins.
- Deep fry dough at medium heat for about 8 minutes till golden brown. (I shallow fry the bread dough instead by turning the dough often to make sure the dough is cooked)
- Leave crust bread to cool and slice it lengthwise and sandwich with any fillings you fancy.
Got a good feedback from Fong's Kitchen Journal about the method of deep frying bread ~
"You may want to try deep-frying instead of shallow-frying for a lighter brown tone. When shallow-fry, the bread is very close to the bottom of pan/wok and it will burn easily. Start with lower heat at the beginning and increase heat at the end to expel the oil." ~ Thank you Fong 🙂

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
1. Keep your artworks out of direct sunlight. Your artwork might have a protective layer of varnish/resin, but it is still possible for it to crack or fade if subjected to bright sunlight for long periods of time.
2. Do not lean anything against the surface. Objects near an artwork may not seem sharp, but it is always surprising what will cause a scratch. Prevent accidents and store your artworks away from anything that might press against the surface.
3. Dust your artworks with a clean, soft rag occasionally to prevent dust buildup. Don't use cleaning products or water! Some artworks may require additional care, in these cases the artists will provide additional care instructions for your artwork.
4. Hang your artworks away from very busy and possibly messy areas. Over time, artworks can accumulate a thin layer of dust and pollutants, airborne grime from cooking oils, particles from smoking and insect specks. If there is a place to display your piece away from these things, or where it will be somewhat less exposed, try to position it there.
5. Wrap your artwork well if you plan to transport it. Be sure to put a heavy piece of cardboard over the front and back to protect it. Then bubble wrap and place in a suitable heavy cardboard box. Rough handling can damage both the painting and the frame so pack it securely. We recommend using an insured professional for packing and transporting works.
6. Try to avoid subjecting your artworks to extreme changes in atmosphere. Avoid excessive dryness, humidity, heat or cold. All of these conditions can affect the state of your artwork in a negative way (canvas puckering, paint cracking, wood warping etc.).
7. Do not cover artworks with plastic for long periods of time. If there is humidity in the air, they may start to grow mold. Cotton sheets are best for keeping dust away.
8. Check the condition of your artworks periodically.
9. If your artwork does get damaged, don't fix it yourself. Contact a gallery for a referral or look up a qualified conservator. Amateur repairs can reduce the value of your artwork drastically.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the care of your work, please don't hesitate to contact us and get professional advice. Once the work is in your home you are responsible for its care. By proceeding with this purchase you, the client , understands that Light Artworks (excluding Artworks made specifically for outdoor installation) should not be installed in a position where they are in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. These may affect the performance or colour over extended periods of time for which the Artist, Artbay Gallery, Lightworx Gallery and associates cannot be held liable for.
