Still working on my Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader era Blood Axes warband, though Orktober wasn't enough to finish the retinue of Nobz to accompany the Warboss. The latest addition are two more Bosses, with one carrying a trophy pole.
Still working on my Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader era Blood Axes warband, though Orktober wasn't enough to finish the retinue of Nobz to accompany the Warboss. The latest addition are two more Bosses, with one carrying a trophy pole.
It didn't take me long to decide what to focus my efforts on during Orktober. Hobby time is limited at the moment, but I hope to be able to complete my Blood Axe Warboss' retinue of 5 Nobz and attendants.
First to join the household is this decidedly Blood Axe looking Boss, who actually predates the arrival of the Ork Clans. With a sword befitting an officer and some very fancy techno gubbinz on his back, he's clearly of elevated rank. Alongside him cowers a lowly Gretchin weapons bearer who carries the Warboss' favourite boltgun and ammo.
The first Oddboy to join my Warhammer 40k Rogue trader style Blood Axe warband is a Mek with accompanying Gretchin attendant. I've had this Mekboy figure for a long time, and previously included him as part of a modern style Burna Boyz unit, which was never completed. Now that he has set up shop for himself, I completed his paint job and gave him a little helper too.
I think these guys make a great duo, and I am planning to have more Gretchin attendants throughout the tribe. The backdrop for the photos is a 4Ground adobe building, which is a great fit for the Ork architecture we used to see in 90s White Dwarfs and Codex books.
I've reached my target of 20 Gretchin for an old school Space Ork force. These can well be used as part of a clan list or as Gretchin Bandits. Since I also recently bought Rogue Stars, I could pick a pirate gang from them.
The final additions are one proper old lead figure and one 2nd edition plastic Gretchin. I had the box set and used these guys regularly since I didn't own any metal sculpts in the day, but this is probably the first one I actually completely painted.
Next I'll be painting a squad of da boyz and a retinue for the Warboss.
I've been expanding the Gretchin mob for my Blood Axes with two 'proper' Rogue Trader miniatures and one 2nd edition sculpt. That brings me up to 18, looking to pick up two more for an even 100 points under the 'Ere We Go army list. Not that it matters gaming wise, I am using army lists more as collecting/painting goals these days.
The two older figures are amongst my favourites so far. They are perfect as freebooterz, so I'll always have the option of fielding the mob in different contexts.
From the back the differences in sculpting are most noticeable. To fit in with the plastic mono-pause Gretchin from the 2nd edition box set, the design of the whole range was streamlined and simplified. Only with the arrival of Gorkamorka Gretchin design experienced a bit of a renaissance and some individual character was reintroduced.
The Orcs were a major force in Warhammer 40k when I started out, with several large volumes of background and army lists complementing the Rogue Trader rule set. I had a force consisting of Goffs, Bad Moons and Freebooterz cobbled together, which got lost on one too many warp jumps.
For the last couple of years I gradually built up a new collection mostly through impulse buys, and after having re-read 'Ere We Go, Waaargh the Orks and Freebooterz, I recently decided on raising a small force of Blood Axes.
I'll loosely base the force on the army list in 'Ere We Go, with some licence regarding weapon choices and unit sizes. To start me off, I painted the Blood Axes Warboss, and finished some more Gretchin which had languished in painting limbo for over a decade. There are a few more of them to come, and I might form them up into a mob of Gretchin Bandits together with a unit of 13 I already have.

SUFFOLK — Mounting opposition to the speedway proposed for northern Suffolk has convinced the City Council to reconsider the project.
A public hearing - and a new vote - on the track and an adjoining industrial park has been set for March 29.
SUFFOLK — Mounting opposition to the speedway proposed for northern Suffolk has convinced the City Council to reconsider the project.
A public hearing - and a new vote - on the track and an adjoining industrial park has been set for March 29.
The City Council had approved the 7,500-seat racetrack and 684-acre industrial park on the Chesapeake city line in January as a boon to the local economy.
City Council members and other city leaders are tight-lipped about the issue because of a lawsuit filed in January by opponents of the track. But sources close to the city government said it is unlikely that the initial decision to approve the projects will be reversed.
Many of those opposing the track are Chesapeake residents who claim in the lawsuit that Suffolk officials violated state law because they failed to give Chesapeake city officials proper notice of the initial public hearing on the project last year.
The residents - Citizens Against the Racetrack - also say zoning changes made for the track and industrial park violate the city's comprehensive plan and should be reversed.
Chesapeake City Manager James W. Rein said in a statement that his office received a form letter from Suffolk's planning department on Dec. 19, notifying Chesapeake of the public hearing, which was held on Dec. 20. State law requires that an adjacent city get at least 10 days notice when a proposed zoning change involves land that is within half a mile of its border.
The track and the Northgate Industrial Park are proposed for a site at the intersection of Nansemond Parkway and Shoulders Hill Road. The property lies about a mile west of Interstate 664 and would feature a half-mile asphalt oval racetrack.
Suffolk City Council members have not said what prompted them to schedule the new hearing and reconsider the projects. In a prepared statement, Suffolk Mayor S. Chris Jones said, ``in the spirit of open government, city council will make every reasonable effort to meet the expectations of the plaintiffs.''
The public hearing will begin at 7 p.m. in front of both the Suffolk City Council and the Planning Commission. The hearing will be held in City Council chambers at 441 Market St.
``The fact that City Council is going to reconsider and reopen it up is great,'' said David Walkup, a Chesapeake resident whose name is listed on the lawsuit against the racetrack. ``I think it's better to address things politically than go through a lawyer.''
Suffolk City Council's 5-2 vote in favor of the project followed a tense, four-hour meeting on Jan. 4. Before approving the raceway, the council imposed a dozen conditions, including an annual review and a 11 p.m. curfew on racing.
Supporters of the project have said the city needs the income and the broader tax base that the speedway and park would provide.
Chesapeake-based Upton Arnette Associates will develop both the track and the industrial park. Suffolk officials project the city will get more than $2.6 million in cumulative tax revenue and more than 1,600 new jobs in the first 12 years after the project is started.
Arnette officials could not be reached for comment Wednesday, and it was unclear whether site preparation work was continuing at the site.
A public hearing on the proposed racetrack and industrial park is set for 7 p.m. on March 29 before the Suffolk City Council and Planning Commission.

And the sidewalks haven't been plowed yet. Since it would take me a ridiculous amount of time to slog down to Henderson with the way the sidewalks were, I decided to wait for the 20 (since the 60 runs often enough that I *should* have been fine). The 20 was only about five minutes late... but then I ended up waiting *25* minutes for the 60!!! According to the schedule, *five* buses should have gone past in that time. Even if they can't manage to be on time, it would be nice if they could at least maintain spacing. *sigh* With additional time lost en route, I'll be making up 26 minutes sometime.
I don't think any students missed me... anyone who would have come see me for help would also be contending with the buses, and I have yet to have a single customer.
I wonder how many of my students will be showing up for class this afternoon?
PS: It will be nice and toasty at the art show tonight, so if you're looking for something to do... ;)

Whether intended to serve as a container or purely for decoration, dragon-handled amphora of this type were popular in northern China in the Tang Dynasty and standard inclusions in tombs. According to Wang Qingzhang, the form is derived from the double-bodied amphora with two dragon-form handles of the preceding Sui dynasty, an example of which is illustrated, along with an amphora very similar to the present lot, in A Dictionary of Chinese Ceramics, Shanghai, 2002, p. 49.

You won't believe this Wedding...

Wow Pastor Tony, I'm only 42 years old and consider myself fairly cool but believe it or not, I was kind of offended by that video. Let me outline it for you . . .
1. This is just another example of the pervasive "Hey Look at Me" mindset in our culture. We are so individualistic that we forget about the fact that we are a part of a bigger picture (and in the case of Christian, a "BODY")
2. Outside of the Covenant Christ referred to at the Last Supper (which we, in our churches at least, celebrate weekly), marriage is the most sacred of all covenants. While I don't believe a marriage should be a joyless occasion, I most definitely feel that it should be appropriately sober. In fact, in recognizing the seriousness of the commitment, I believe one may actually find the true joy of he occasion. (Of course, that insight is from a single man, of whom it could rightly be said that no father in his right mind would ever give his daughter away to . . .)

It took place in an undisclosed church in Minnesota so it was probably at an Evangelical Lutheran Church in America ELCA church you know the loony liberal Lutherans. As for the woman pastor that is not uncommon at all in many mainline denominations such as the one I left the PCUSA. In fact the pastor who replaced the former pastor at my old church was a woman. As for the entrance that should have been left for the reception but then why be surprised when your church has slid into apostasy so too shall your ceremonies. As you so rightly pointed out in your last sermon Tony there is a difference between a God Centered Gospel and a Me Centered Gospel.

Poster presentations
..the assumption underlying choice is that patients like those we have met, and doctors like me are equally able to take control of our lives and define ourselves by our choices. It assumes that providing information is enough to empower people to choose a healthy lifestyle. Offering choice without addressing the conditions within which people live their lives, the experiences that affect their decisions, and aspirations which shape their vision of the future, widens inequality by empowering those ready to make those choices and alienates those people who have very different priorities."
With this in mind, how would your health promotion campaign differ from the ones already on offer?
You only need to present for 5-10 minutes. You will be marked out of 30 with 10 marks for each of the following:
- Content: Is the information accurate and is there the right amount?
- Presentation: Do you communicate the message clearly and convincingly?
- Poster: Is the visual content professional and your own original work, does it catch people's attention?
An example from last year:
Examples of health promotion:
Thai government exercise promotion videos.
An iconography of contagion. Cultural history of advertising and health promotion. Article and slide show.
Classic health promotion posters
How to 'do' a presentation: Excellent blog post by paediatric surgeon, First turn off your computer and get a piece of paper and a pen

Proud New MkV GTI Owner - Clutch Help
Post by:
August 11, 2017, 05:57:30 PM
Hi everyone this is my first ever post as i have only just joined today. I have been told good things about you guys and how helpful and knowledgeable you are.
I recently got myself a 2005 Golf MK5 GTI TFSI and i love it, it is 100% stock at this time apart from the Golf R Alloys that could do with a refurb. It has 80k on the clock and a fsh and has really been looked after.
Basically i am looking to tune it a little i used to have the MK4 and wish i had never sold it i was only running the normal Revo Remap. I am looking at maybe going a little further with the Mk5 maybe to stage2.
I am needing to get a new clutch its not completely gone and it is not slipping but i can feel that it will be going in the near future and its better to fix it before it goes and causes more problems. I didn't want to just get a stock clutch and then when it comes to tuning have to get another as that would be silly.
I could really do with some of your expertise on what clutch i should be looking to get and any links and so on to where i can find one. i don't have thousands to spend but i do want to make sure i get a clutch that will live up to the job. Also when i am doing the clutch is there anything else i will need to do with it like the release bearings flywheel and so on as i don't really know what i should be doing and i don't want to have to come back and open it all up again for something i should of done when putting in the clutch.
I will be looking to get the car to around the 300bhp range but nothing more as for a front wheel drive car that's more than enough for me.
Thanks in advance

Hi Welcome.
I don't really talk from experience only what I've read on here. A standard clutch in good condition will be ok at 300bhp, but will have a reduced life span.
I think the Helix Organic clutch is a popular upgrade for people running big power.
I would say if your only planning on running it upto 300 put a new standard clutch in, If you plan on going for more power in the future it would be senisble to go for an upgrade in but its easily double the cost for the parts.
I'm sure someone whos had the same dilema will come along with some attual experience.

I have had a look through different places and it looks like an uprated clutch would be 700/800 plus fitting so about 1000 all together give or take. A lot of people seam to think I will be ok with the normal clutch if I am staying under 300bhp. Yeah it won't last as long but I don't mind putting a new clutch in a bit more often as it's a fraction of the price than the uprated. If I was going to go mental with tuning I would defiantly go the updated way.
I just wanted to check that what I thought was right.
Thanks for the info guys it's been a big help.

Thanks for the info guys still not sure where I will be going.
Is this a standard clutch or a upgraded one sorry I am not sure

Get the clutch from VW and DMF from Eurocarparts.
Pointless fitting a standard clutch if you're going to map it. If the engine makes over 280lbft torque, it will start slipping around 40-50K miles, or when it's half worn.

Here are Thomas and Maddy showing love....in their Auburn PJ's. Thomas is quite the lover...he gives hugs, kisses, and just plain old nose-dives into things. He is the affectionate one even at this fussy stage. He will grab my lug and just squeeze away. Maddy, on the other hand, loves to love also...but in a different way. She bats her eyes, giggles and coos.....she does not like for someone to hold her too close as it blocks her panoramic view! I am loving the daily changes and experiences we are having...both the good and not-so-good ! They are all so memorable.....I wish things would slow down so I can savor them more!

Investment Round is our weekly update on which firms have secured new funding, which areas are seeing the most financing, and who is putting up the cash that enables these companies to keep pushing the capabilities of mobile marketing further.
Chat App Kik Announces Plans for $125m Initial Coin Offering
Messaging app Kik has revealed new plans for fundraising that will centre on a cryptocurrency Initial Coin Offering (ICO) worth $125m (£96m). The ICO was first hinted at in May, but the firm has now confirmed it will take place on 12 September. Investors can register to buy the 'Kin' crypto tokens at Kik's website using their passport or social security details and an Ethereum wallet address.
Kik has already successfully raised $50m on the ICO with a presale round of purchases by select accredited investors including Blockchain Capital, Pantera Capital and Polychain Capital. Kin will be integrated into the Kik app as the primary transaction currency for users, which the firm is hoping will kickstart adoption and lead to user engagement through the Kin Rewards Engine.
"We're one step closer to launching Kin and integrating it into Kik, which will be the first mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency," said Ted Livingstone, founder and CEO of Kik Interactive. "Kin will fuel new experiences in communications, information, and commerce inside of Kik, and will also serve as a foundation for a new decentralised ecosystem of digital services, bringing a fair and sustainable business model to the market."
"Kik is by far the largest consumer company to enter the cryptocurrency space, and this is a seminal moment for the industry," said Ryan Zurrer, principal and venture partner at leading cryptocurrency hedge fund Polychain Capital. "We have been impressed with Kik's thoughtful approach to the creation and distribution of Kin, and have confidence that the team will execute their vision of creating a decentralised ecosystem of digital services through Kin."
PwC Australia Invests in Two-month-old Agency
Thinkerbell, a brand and ideas agency founded two months ago by former executives from Cummins & Partners has had a minority investment from PwC Australia. The firm was officially launched in June 2017 by Adam Ferrier, former chief strategy director at Cummins & Partners, along with former executive creatives Ben Couzens and Jim Ingram.
The investment is a significant endorsement for the agency, which has already announced its first client in the form of 13Cabs, the consumer facing brand of Cabcharge. Couzens called the investment "proof of how attractive our proposition is; combining the magic of creativity and the rigour of data led insights. Jim, Adam and I are stoked to be able to use this investment as a catalyst to build a great agency."
"It is fantastic to have an interest in one of the most exciting creative startups in the mark," said Russel Howcroft, chief creative officer of PwC Australia. "It's a great fit because Jim, Adam and Ben are absolutely aligned with our belief in how strategic marketing and powerful ideas can drive growth. We took a minority interest in Thinkerbell because we wanted to give the founders the space to create the culture and build the team that they want. You don't have to own creativity in order to access it – we're excited about the potential of this investment."
AI Startup Appier Raises $33m in Series C Funding
SoftBank Group, Line Corp and Naver are among the investors lining up to fund Appier, a Taiwanese startup that helps companies strengthen their marketing strategy using artificial intelligence. The new investors join firms including Sequoia Capital, UOB Venture Management and MediaTek Ventures, and bring the company's total funding so far to $82m.
Appier plans to use the investment to hire new team members, particularly in engineering and research and development, as it looks to grow its global presence beyond the APAC region. Some of the capital will also go toward expanding its product portfolio and enhancing its functionality beyond its existing Programmatic Platform and AI-driven Aixon analytics tools.
"Our goal is to provide various enterprise solutions, for a range of business challenges," said Chih-Han Yu, co-founder and CEO of Appier. "We've already developed a solution in the marketing space, and one in the data intelligence space, and now we plan to enlarge.

Adwerx is a real-estate focused advertising and retargeting network which span off from music management firm ReverbNation in 2014. Now, the company is looking to expand beyond its real estate focus, and has raised $4.3m in funding to do so.
The funding round was led by Grotech Ventures, with participation from Bull City Venture Partners and Alerion Ventures, and the company hopes to use the cash injection to fuel its expansion into verticals like automotive, dental practices, home services, law offices and more. It has already begun to offer its services to verticals like insurance and mortgages, which align closely to its existing strengths.
The company currently works with over 50,000 real estate agents and other small businesses, and has recently launched an enterprise program for working with large agencies, bringing in several new clients. Combined with Adwerx's initial $1.25m funding during its spinoff, the new round brings the firm's total funding to $5.55m.

I bowed my ICND2 200-105 Vce Files side again. This chess was scared, Lao Lu know that I will not play chess, and then go to a few pawns over the river can not.
She saw me finally stopped laughing, Cisco 200-105 Vce Files only solemnly said Do you think it is 200-105 Vce Files ridiculous I look at her face a week with Zhou Zhengzheng, a little happy all squeezed out, and quickly sat down beside her side while helping to clean the body, while explaining I am not sad 200-105 Vce Files – Sasin Alumni Website it If we were engaged, and now is not the third anniversary of it If married, and now is not a wedding anniversary If the dust said Who engaged with you wishful thinking.
He first ICND2 200-105 asked 200-105 Questions me where I was. I said in the wine 2V0-621D Exam Demo city, with Awen together. Hao Jie said fuck, I thought who is it, the original is your girl ah, why do not you say I said Who is 70-462 Braindump Pdf not a kind of like, is not to buy approval Hao Jie said also have to see who bought from the hands of this year, SIM-ABAQUS-FEA-101-6 Dumps even the father can be false, not to mention approval.
We walk together in the cold night of the winter night, there is snow in 200-105 Exam Preparation 200-105 Book Pdf the hairline.
After eating the fruit, Awen deliberately told me to go to her room to rest. Asked by the United States should not Cisco 200-105 Vce Files open room room to take a break.
The results of the whole opened up, we 200-105 Certification Material are very good I was happy to receive my call, because I was worried about their safety.
Go back and Awen said, 200-105 Study Material A text scold me a meal, that I am boring. I spent five minutes to clean up myself, while going downstairs to the side of the few girls to call the above.
The result is that we no heroic sacrifice. Standing in the north of the thick black mist, black fog rolling, rapid flow.

If the dust side of the story side of the laughter, and finally the stomach laughing.
And then I call Awen I do things, you treat me rewarded it Ah 200-105 Wen said This little thing 200-105 Training also invited to reward, really let you look down on you.

Greek crisis: crunch time
posted at 22:39
We're at a critical point in the Greek crisis
by Paul Mason
Last night a very well-heeled crowd of people from business, finance and the old political elite joined a demonstration – ostensibly non-party political and organised on Facebook – outside the Greek parliament. The participants called for Greece to stay in Europe, but even here many objected to the austerity measures being imposed.
They swarmed up the steps of parliament, casting eerie shadows as they stepped in front of its illuminating lights. It was not lost on supporters of the far-left government that many of those doing the swarming had participated in a government that routinely truncheoned and tear gassed people for coming even close to the former barricades around the building, which the present government has removed.

What have I been upto..
Happy New Year Everyone.
It is quite late I know.
I am sorry.
I have been too busy multitasking with my day job and my preparation for upcoming project.
So, I am not going to talk much but just would like to share with you my new read.
I am a sucker for romance.
The mind is a powerful machine and if you don't write down your ideas, it is such a waste.
This business book I have to say by far the best I have read.
From the first page, I am totally hooked.
It has so many tips from successful entrepreneurs how to set up a business, how to run, how to handle day by day challenges, hire employees and many more.
The author is a host for business talk show and after years of interviewing entrepreneurs, she decided to compile all the tips that she received and produce this brilliant book.
Toujours Pure Dust from Hanis Zalikha and her mother.
RM 179 and it will last for a month.
I will write a review after 2 weeks.
I am getting older hehehe.
I need to take care of myself.
Today, Isabella's babysitter told me that Isabella has been doing what looked like several yoga poses.
She would set a cloth on the carpet and lied face down for a while, and lift her upper half of body.
Then, she would do
So her babysitter was curious and finally asked 'have you been doing yoga lately?'
Hahahaha and I was so surprised to learn that my baby was doing the yoga pose during the day and had to sheepishly answered yes.
I didn't know she would copy me.
I noticed her doing some poses next to me but doing on her own?? Hahahaha. Apadaaa baby kantoilah mommy mcm ni.
Okay guys, I will tell you more next time.
As for now let me give you a clue on my current project..
The centre of love.
This is where love starts and if you nurture love well, it will spread in the future:)

The Importance of Breast Cancer Awareness Ties
One of the causes that are extremely common for people to take up (which does not lessen its impact or importance in the least) is breast cancer awareness. When people discuss cancer, even with all the awareness campaigns, breast cancer is often pushed aside in favor of the cancers that some people see as more threatening, when massive numbers of people are afflicted with breast caner everyday who the marginalization does not help at all, and if it does do anything, it hurts them. In fact, breast cancer is not limited to women; men, too, are stricken by this killer, and as with any disease, the whole family is affected.
Thankfully, the movement is easy to recognize and therefore simple to identify as a part of, having adopted the color pink for the entire movement, as well as a traditional ribbon. Indeed, the two are often combined into the pink ribbon to represent all the people that have been lost to breast cancer, those who are engaged in battling the disease right now and the hope for a cure.
The exact form this symbol takes can differ wildly thanks to the different styles that different people have, but there are some common elements that can really help bring any sort of outfit together - and for men, that's a tie. Usually, when men wear some sort of nice clothing, the piece de resistance, the finishing touch is a tie, and there is no better way to express support of breast cancer awareness day-to-day without having to compromise existing style.
Indeed, one might expect a tie themed around the color pink to be a bit garish and over the top, but these ties actually tend to be quite subdued, for the exact reason that if they were garish no one would bother to wear them on a regular basis.
Perhaps the biggest advantage that breast cancer awareness ties have over other pieces of clothing, though, is that there is an entire culture that has sprung up around admiration and reverence for ties. When someone wears a tie that someone else doesn't understand, they ask about it, and the best thing that breast cancer awareness ties can really hope to achieve is to start conversations about breast cancer.
Really, that is the goal of any sort of awareness-based clothing. There's no real expectation that seeing someone else wearing a piece of clothing is going to change someone's mind about the subject of it, or even make them aware of it, but it serves to spark a conversation in which the person wearing the clothing can hopefully do a great job of convincing the person that we are all touched by this disease.

John E. Sarno
Mentioned 1
Dr. John E. Sarno's Healing Back Pain is a New York Times bestseller that has helped over 500,000 readers. Continuing the research since his ground-breaking book, the renowned physician now presents his most complete work yet on the vital connection between mental and bodily health.... Musculoskeletal pain disorders have reached epidemic proportions in the United States, with most doctors failing to recognize their underlying cause. In this acclaimed volume, Dr. Sarno reveals how many painful conditions-including most neck and back pain, migraine, repetitive stress injuries, whiplash, and tendonitises-are rooted in repressed emotions...and shows how they can be successfully treated without drugs, physical measures, or surgery. His innovative program has already produced gratifying results for thousands of patients. The Mindbody Prescription is your invaluable key to a healthy and pain-free life.
Well the docs finally said it, I need to take it easy on my wrist for a few months. Being that I'm a .NET Developer this could end my livelihood for a little while, something I'm not anxious to do. That said, are there any good handsfree options for developers? Anyone had success using any of the speech recognition software out there?
POSTSCRIPT: I've recovered my arm again to the point where two-handed programming isn't a problem. Dragon Naturally speaking worked well enough, but was slower, not like the keyboard where I was programming faster than I thought.
There are quite a few speech recognition programs out there, of which Dragon NaturallySpeaking is, I think, one of the most widely used ones. I've used it myself, and have been impressed with its quality. That being a couple of years ago, I guess things have improved even further by now.
Even though it works amazingly well, I won't say it's an easy solution. It takes time to train the program, and even then, it'll make mistakes. It's painstakingly slow compared to typing, so I had to keep saying to myself "Don't grab the keyboard, don't grab the keyboard, ..." (after which I'd grab the keyboard anyway). I myself tend to mumble a bit, which didn't make things much better, either ;-). Especially the first weeks can be frustrating. You can even get voice-related problems if you strain your voice too much.
All in all, it's certainly a workable solution for people writing normal text/prose. As a programmer, you're in a completely different realm, for which there are no real solutions. Things might have changed by now, but I'd be surprised if they have.
What's the problem? Most SR software is built to recognize normal language. Programmers write very cryptic stuff, and it's hard, if not impossible, to find software that does the conversion between normal language and code. For example, how would you dictate:
if (somevar == 'a')
print('You pressed a!');
Using the commands in your average SR program, this is a huge pain: "if space left bracket equal sign equal sign apostrophe spell a apostrophe ...". And I'm not even talking about navigating your code. Ever noticed how much you're using the keyboard while programming, and how different that usage is from how a 'normal' user uses the keyboard?
Thus far, I've only worked with Dragon NaturallySpeaking (DNS), so I can only speak for that product. There are some interesting add-ons and websites targeted for people like programmers:
It seems that the best solution to this problem is, really:

In photography, exposure means the length of time and the corresponding amount of light waves a photo sensor has gathered. Both shutter speed and aperture can affect exposure, although adjusting shutter and aperture settings manually may affect your flower photography in ways you do not want. For example, if you want a blurry background in bright sunlight, adjusting your shutter speed or aperture may lengthen the depth of field, not shorten it.
Natural light in flower photography is always best. Photographing indoors has its own set of problems, including White Balance, which refers to using a light source such as fluorescent or incandescent light that may cause a color cast on your image. Another problem is low lighting situations that may necessitate extra sources of light and light reflectors. Even light coming in windows will improve photographs of indoor flowers.
This having been said, however, outdoor lighting has its own set of variables, including the time of day, cloudiness, shadow and shade, and bright sunlight.
Tips to control light and exposure
This having been said, however, outdoor lighting has its own set of variables, including the time of day, cloudiness, shadow and shade, and bright sunlight.
The unretouched picture of potted fibrous begonias, above, was taken in late morning shade.
This picture of the same potted begonias taken in early evening, in the pink light of the setting sun. This photo shows not only added color but shadows. Which do you prefer?
Backlighting is often much more successful in flower picture taking than with portraiture, which causes problems with exposure and fill light for faces. Here, the light shines through translucent petals of yellow daffodils.
This Easy Does It rose does not benefit from the full blast of the midday sun. Parts of it are over exposed and the colors are affected. A better picture might be taken in late morning or evening, or on a cloudy day.

The first part of this work presents the study of micro drilling conditions on TiN coatings with a MOPA fibre laser with pulse tuning capability. Pulse shapes with pulse durations varying between 12-200 ns have been employed. Single and multiple-pulse ablation conditions were mapped for different pulse durations to effect greater control of the two main geometrical attributes, namely diameter and depth. In the second part of the work, the mapped conditions were used to design more complicated micro features with dimensions close to the laser beam diameter (36 μm). Elliptical dimple shape was chosen as a demonstrator case.

Relative to the best method
of ascertaining the condition of
an animalVhealth, the Dairy
man says: There is no need of
bothering almut a cow's pulse
t find out if she is well or not,
simply look at her nose. If
well, it will be moist and cold ;
if feverish, dry and hot. She
is like a dog in this respect. A
staring coat or a hollow eye are
also {mints of indicating trou-
ble, and as symptoms of dis
eases that are more to be dread
ed than the dry nose.
A favorite pastime with cow-
boys is to saddle a half-broken
mustang, and. after inserting a
half doll ar in each stirrup, an
expert rider will mount and
back himself to keep the coins

horse meanwhile being incited
to do his worst in the way of'
rearing, bucking ami lumping.
These fellows are wonderfully
skilled with the lasso. At a

condemned men marched forth
to dcath;their spiritual advisers
accompanying them. They as
(•ended the steps leading to the
death traps (irmly and took
seats on the platform. Rev.
Mr. Heme first went through
the ceremonies of his church
with Thompson, and at the con-
clusion !>id him good bye and
left the scene. Rev. L. R. Bute,
of the Methodist church, then
made a few remarks, after
which he offered up a fervent
prayer iu behalf of the con-
demned. Next, Rev. Mr. More,
colored, of the Baptist church,
came forward, and in behalf of
Woiuaukiller, said lie had been
requested by hi in to say that
he was guilty, and was very
sorry for what lie had done,
tiiat he was willing to give up
his life to atone for his deed,
and di<l not think lie had been
unjustly dealt with. At Jack's
request a hymn was sung, ami
then the ministers bid them
good-bye, and took their de-
parture. The. three men then
stepped firmly on the trap, and
Thompson made a few remarks
touching hir- religious efforts.
He was very lirm and showed
not the least sign of fear. The
Indians had nothing to say but
stood firm and erect while their
arms ami legs were being pin-
ioned. The ropes were adjust-
ed, the black cap drawn over
their heads, the trap sprung,
and the law had been vindicat-
ed. They were given a drop of
six feet, and all three of their
necks were broken. They were
pronounced pulseless iu four-
teen minutes after the drop fell
and in sixteen minutes were
in their coffins. Thompson left
a sealed statement with his
spiritual adviser, which was
found to contain a statement of
his case and was simply a repe-
tition of his evidence on tile
stand, stating tlia? the deed was
done iu self-defense.

Ben and the guys were an excellent support team whilst I was busy organising the rest of the project.
I could leave the plan for the site with him and was happy that it would be done as required before we next met.
I recommend anyone looking for a personal service to use these guys ! :).
