I have used Dictatum Transcription Services to type transcripts from audio recordings for my Master's research project. I have found the service reliable, accurate and fast. What really impressed me, however, was that Deb took the time to find out what I really wanted and needed before she started. She then checked if the finished product was suitable. Deb's manner is always cheerful, friendly and polite. I am also a techno-peasant so Deb's advice on how to transfer and convert large sound files was invaluable.- Col Davidson
A helpful and high quality service with quick turn around. Highly recommended.
- Dr P Smith, CSIRO.
I was really pleased with my resume that Debra did for me. She completed it so quickly and her professionalism and customer service was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
- Janice French, Lecturer Central TAFE.
As a PhD student and a Research Assistant at Edith Cowan University, I have used Deb's service over the past two years. I live and work a distance from Deb and hence I upload my recorded interviews where she transcribes them meticulously! I have passed her details onto fellow PhD students in all the faculties here at Uni as well as Research school and Education faculty members. I would highly recommend her as she was always professional, polite and informative.
- Michelle Ellis, PhD Student and Researcher.

Although all branches of the military are phasing out the BDU, or Battle Dress Uniform, the necessity to look sharp and demonstrate competence by maintaining the uniform in a neat manner will never be phased out. Whether it's the Desert Combat Uniform (DCU), the Navy Working Uniform (NWU), the Army Combat Uniform (ACU) or the Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform (MCCUU), the uniform needs to conform to military tradition and culture. Blousing the trousers is an easy way to achieve that decorum.
The Classical Blousing Method
Tuck the pant leg into an unlaced boot. Do this loosely, leaving two inches of "give" in the leg of the pants to allow for the blousing. Tuck the pants in uniformly so that there is an equal amount of extra pant fabric all the way around the boot.
Lace your boots.
Pull down on the extra fabric of the pants all the way around the boot to create a blousing effect.
Press your fingers over the bloused hem crease as a way to keep the bloused edge crisp.
Blousing by Using a Rubber or Elastic Band
Place a rubber or elastic band over the pants one inch from the bottom of the pants' leg hem. Hitch up the pants leg so that the rubber band is right above the top of the boot with the one inch of fabric hanging over the boot.
Pull the excess pants fabric down over the rubber band and the pant's hem, making sure that the rubber band and the one inch of fabric below the rubber band are covered.
Press your fingers over the crease to keep the bloused edge crisp.

To provide more space for juniors and seniors to live on campus, Wake Forest University will begin construction in late February on two new residence halls on the north side of campus.
The University's Board of Trustees approved the project at its meeting last week.
Designed to add suite-style housing for 480 upper class undergraduate students, the residence halls will have a combined square footage of about 150,000 square feet and will be mirror images of each other. Connected by a courtyard, each building will incorporate study lounges, kitchens on every floor and a media room.
"The new residence halls will contribute to Wake Forest's vibrant residential campus," said Donna McGalliard, dean of residence life and housing.
Wake Forest raised its requirement for current first-year students to live on campus from two years to three. "More upper-class students living on campus will have a positive impact on campus life," McGalliard said. "We're very excited about the opportunity to bring more students back to campus. It contributes to a great sense of community."
The two buildings, scheduled for completion in August of 2013, will be designed to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Design) certification — silver level standards.
The University is also developing plans for a dining facility adjacent to the residence halls.
"Expanding the footprint toward the north side of campus is consistent with the campus master plan," said Hof Milam, senior vice president for finance and administration. "The new buildings will create a dynamic center of activity for juniors and seniors near other residence halls already designated for upperclassmen."
The new facilities will be located west of Farrell Hall, the new home for the Schools of Business currently under construction.
"The residence halls will be brick and consistent with the neo-Georgian look we have as a standard on campus," said Jim Alty, associate vice president for facilities & campus services. Frank L. Blum Construction Co., which built South Residence Hall on campus in 2010, will build the new facilities.

When thinking about the future of work many themes come to mind. However, if I had to describe what the future of work is all about in two words, I'd say, "challenge convention." But what does that actually mean?
Challenging convention is the practice of going against and challenging the common assumptions that our organizations have been built on. For the better part of a hundred years our organizations have remained relatively unchanged. Employees commute an hour each way to get to their cubicles while feeling disengaged at work, managers act like stoic creatures that delegate tasks and control information, and our organizations are rigid hierarchies which stagnate communication and collaboration all the while assuming that the only time it makes sense to change is when tragedy strikes. This is no way to operate a company in today's dynamic and rapidly changing world. In fact it's why my team and I launched the FOW Community to help organizations adapt and explore what the future of work and collaboration looks like.
It's no wonder that synonyms for employee, manager and work include words like cog, slave driver and drudgery. We have literally built our organizations from the ground up with the notion that work has to be unpleasant. That is, until now... Today there five trends shaping the future of work which are forcing organizations to challenge convention around how employees work, how managers lead and how organizations are structured. These five trends are:
New behaviors: Easy-to-find information online, build communities, connect with people and information, live a more public life and share.
Mobility: Most people in the world have a mobile phone and the majority of those people have smart phones. This means that I can get access to the same information living in the Bay Area as someone who works in a remote rice field in China.
Millennials: Those weird alien-like creatures that are bringing with them new expectations, values and ways of working into our organizations.
Technology: Collaboration platforms, big data, wearables, the internet of things, the cloud, robots, and a host of other things that are all impacting how we work.
Globalization: The ability for organizations to work in a world without any boundaries regardless of where they are located.
Considering these five trends it's hard to imagine how many organizations have still not adapted. How can companies operate the same way they did twenty years ago as they are today? The reality is they can't. This is why so many companies around the world are trying to figure out what the future of work is going to look and what they need to do to adapt.
So what does the future of work look like? Here's a fun video I did with the folks over at SAP /Success Factors where they asked me to share some of my ideas and thoughts on this very topic.
Although some (or many) of the ideas in the video might seem far-fetched, they are actually not only possible but probable. This is why the idea of challenging convention is so crucial for the survival and success of many organizations around the world today.
The idea of challenging convention must be applied to three areas in the workplace.
How we work
Does it still make sense for employees to commute an hour or more each way to get to work?
Why is it that employees, many of whom have kids, mortgages and car payments (in other words, are responsible people) have to get approval to buy a new $100 office chair?
Why can't employees customize how they work by being able to select the projects they want to be a part of, the hours they work, where they work, or who they work with?
Why don't employees have more of a say in the decision making or strategy process?
How we lead
How come managers are scared to show any amount of emotion or vulnerability in the workplace?
Does it really make sense for managers to make all the decisions based on the information they have?
What about relying on collective intelligence?
What can managers at your organization be doing to serve employees instead of assuming that employees should serve the managers?
Why do managers still give annual employee reviews?
How organizations are structured
Does a rigid hierarchy really make the most sense for an organization that is assumingly trying to become more innovative, collaborative, open, and nimble?
Why is the assumption that employees need to work at your organization when the reality is that organizations should be constructed so that employees want to work there?
Is it realistic to assume that your organization is going to stick with on-premise technologies instead of deploying in the cloud? How long do you think that will last? Another three years? Five years?
Many organizations around the world are starting to rethink how employees are getting work done. Whirlpool WHR -0.17% for example doesn't refer to employees as managers anymore, instead every single employee is a type of leader. Unilever developed the concept of "agile" working to empower employees to work anytime, anywhere, and on any device as long as they are able to get their jobs done. The goal is to double the size of the company while cutting the carbon footprint in half. Adobe recently got rid of their annual review process in favor of more regularly check-ins. Sun Hydraulics has only one manager at their company called the "plant manager," this is the person who literally comes in to water the plants. Tangerine Bank (formerly ING DIRECT Canada) has perhaps the most open and vulnerable CEO (Peter Aceto) who regularly encourages open dialogue employees which includes sharing what they don't like about working there and what can be done to improve.
The list of these companies goes on and on but they all have one thing in common. They challenge convention around work. Use this as inspiration to go back to your company to think about what you can be doing differently, what can your organization be doing to challenge convention and why isn't it doing it?
All of these ideas and much more are explored in my upcoming book: The Future of Work: Attract New Talent, Build Better Leaders, and Create a Competitive Organization (available for pre-order, due Sept 2 with Wiley)

Although it might not appear so, in reality, Leisure and Recreation is the biggest trade in the world. In contrast to the Student Union, there are usually not any Burger King's or Chick-Fil-A's located on the gymnasium as a result of the recreation middle attracts people that care about their our bodies and wish to stay a wholesome lifestyle. CPRA PDC is Canada's solely professional development certification program for recreation and parks practitioners. After walking into the recreation center at 4:00 on an idle Thursday, the first thing that caught my consideration was the amount of light streaming into the weight room and the upstairs work out area. Personal satisfaction – any creative outlet will enhance personal satisfaction.
It is crucial for senior citizens and those that look after them to hunt out recreational activities even right now when they could be reluctant to take action. Research signifies that seniors who take part in these kinds of activities tend to remain lively as soon as they start.
A few of us would possibly consider the recreation heart as a spot the place individuals go to work out, but it surely's how we use this area that makes it important and accommodating to our lives. Preventative well being – regular train, physiological benefits from gentle exercise, and stress reduction all are made easier by having leisure and recreational actions available. Recreation Committee meets on the primary Monday of the month at 7 pm (no assembly in June, July or August).
The championship video games at Pine Camp and the Siegel Center will likely be free to the public and events will tip off at 6 p.m. U-14 and U-17 division games can be played on Tuesday at Pine Camp. We have on-line registration and payments for recreation activies underneath ON-LINE COMPANIES on the primary page of this web site. The United States Affiliation of Blind Athletes have a great useful resource web page dedicated to adapting sports activities and recreation for the blind and visually impaired. People that go to the recreation center do not need to eat meals that will damage their our bodies, like Burger King or Chick-Fil-A, but they wish to replenish their bodies with a wholesome smoothie or salad that may be served at Gasoline.
Cities like Sydney and Melbourne provide quite a lot of relaxing options for recreation. Center can also be open from 6:00 to 9:00 PM with Dance, Dance Revolution on the big screen and glow at the hours of darkness, black gentle enjoyable! The instructional pool, against this, caters largely to seniors, with water aerobics and even arthritis water therapy on the agenda. The Victorians introduced the concept of recreational tenting as a wholesome activity.

Date Revised:
If you're a carer, you might need to take a break sometimes.
What is respite?
Respite is a short break, anything from a couple of hours to several weeks, away from caring to give you time to recharge your batteries. You may find that it helps you stay stay well and feel better able to cope with caring.
Different types of short breaks for carers
Respite can mean different things to different carers, it could mean:
- Support workers (care support workers) or personal assistants helping look after the person you care for, in their home. This is sometimes called replacement care.
- Getting help with other tasks around the home, such as cleaning or gardening.
- The person you care for having a short stay in a care home (or nursing home).
- Getting someone to keep the person you care for company while you go out. See sitting and befriending services.
- You, or the person you care for, taking part in activities outside the home. Contact your local carer service to see what is available near where you live.
- Taking a holiday with or without the person you care for.
How to arrange respite care
- Ask your local council for a carer's assessment (Adult Carer Support Plan in Scotland) as it looks at the support you need – this could include regular respite and carer breaks. Get in touch with your local council if you haven't had an assessment yet.
- Find out about paying for respite.
- Get in touch with your local carer service as they will be able to help you find out more about taking a break.
- Try talking to your family and friends and see if they can help by giving you a break.
- Find out more about buying care at home, from a care support worker or a personal assistant.
Next update due: February 2020

Below is an update from Life Counseling Center's director, Rich Starsoneck.
Dear Friend,
It is my privilege to keep you up to date on the news and needs of the counseling center. Your investment in the ministry does not go unnoticed and your prayers for us as we seek to care for others are vital to the ministry. This spring we were excited to have the opportunity to bring Pastor Allan Edwards to speak at two workshops on same-sex attraction (SSA). Over 100 people came to each of the workshops and were blessed by Allan's story as well as his wise insight on how to interact with this topic.
Last month I finished up the final session of Rebuilders. I look forward to re-vamping the curriculum and offering a modified workshop based on the material in late 2016 or early 2017. Please pray for this to serve many who find themselves facing separation or divorce.
Another update I want to share with you is regarding an upcoming sabbatical that I will be taking. Chapelgate has set in place allotted sabbaticals for rest and refreshment for ministry directors. Starting July 1st I will be taking some focused time off during the summer months. I will return to my regular duties again in the fall. We have an amazing team at Life Counseling Center and the counseling services will continue to be available for anyone seeking gospel centered biblical counseling during my sabbatical. In addition, our Counseling Conversations class will be held as planned. If you are a participant in that class I am thrilled to have my colleague Mike Rallo stepping in to teach the July class with Eliza Huie while I am away.
In my letter last March I mentioned our need for prayer regarding hiring an additional male counselor. We have been unable to do this as quickly as we had hoped. Would you continue to pray with us as we search in the midst of greater need now with my sabbatical fast approaching?
Finally would you please consider partnering with us? We all work together for His kingdom and every gift helps defray the operating expenses of this ministry. Each month we fall short and are continually looking for ways to raise awareness of our ministry needs. If you or someone you know has been touched by this ministry and you would like to graciously give back please click the "donate" link on our website or you can mail gifts to Life Counseling Center. All gifts are tax deductible. We are so grateful for each and every gift and see it as the Lord's provision for this ministry.
Thank you for your friendship. I look forward to updating you again when I return. Until then if there is anything we can do to serve you please do not hesitate to contact our offices.
Working together for His Kingdom,
Rich Starsoneck
Director of Counseling

* easy is used in a wholly sarcastic manner.
Oh, to put down my pen and paper and take the summer off. But alas, my dear readers, I cannot. At this time of year my fellow writers gleefully shrug off their comfortable writing garb and don their linen frocks and sport coats in search of tennis games, picnics, and long walks along the beach. I, however, must remain behind, watching them disappear down a winding meadow lane, my grubby nose pressed up enviously against window.
I might want to make a note to lay off rereading of Fitzgerald and Dickens.
The reason for my lack of summer break is quite simple. I am forever behind schedule. My mother once told me that the road to hell was paved with good intentions and that I was going there on the expressway. She wasn't exaggerating.
I have long lived with a demon that ruins all my plans. Unlike most demons who hide in the darkness and guard their name for fear of discovery and a subsequent loss of power, mine has a name. And that name is Yesterday Tracy.
Yesterday Tracy is always one step ahead of Today Tracy. She is a wily, evil beast. Today Tracy is forever behind schedule because of the actions of Yesterday Tracy. Today Tracy might have plans to write 2,000 words, but Yesterday Tracy decided that it was Imperative that she stays up until 3 a.m. watching Grease II.
Yes. Grease II.
I told you she was evil.
She also has really lousy taste.
She gleefully tricks Today Tracy into thinking that this decision will only hurt Tomorrow Tracy not Today Tracy.
And Today Tracy listens.
Every damn time.
And so, rather than springing out of bed full of vim and vigor (a sensation, by the way, I have never experienced), I roll out of bed rubbing blood shot eyes and desperately hoping to get the song "We're Gonna Score Tonight!" out of my head.
Thus, I start every day hopelessly behind schedule and must spend the remainder of the day feeling like a desperate hamster spinning on its Sisyphus-inspired wheel.
So, do I take the summer off?
No. I do not.
For Yesterday Tracy is a powerful demon.

Test Kitchen Tuesday: Bean Bolognese
While neither of us are big fans of Beef Bolognese, I thought this spin on it with beans sounded pretty good when I came across it over the weekend, and it would be a good Test Kitchen recipe. I kept it a secret as long as I could, until 2Chili picked me up from a client meeting on Tuesday. He had me cornered with the "what's for dinner?" question.
When I told him we were having "Bean Bolognese," 2Chili was less than excited. He pointed out that he doesn't like Beef Bolognese, and would prefer just straight up tomato sauce. I reminded him that's why I try not to tell him what he's getting ahead of time – his general response to things he has never heard of is pretty much always "yuck."
I knew it would be better than he thought, though!
And, when he came up from his office in the basement for dinner, he even noted how good it smelled and was surprised to not see some blended up bean mixture in tomato sauce. Maybe that is fair, with my penchant for blending, but, when is he going to learn? Like Charlie Sheen, I have a plan! Though my plan is slightly less crazy and I don't get paid $2 million to do anything. (Uh oh, there I go trying to be relevant with the pop culture references again…)
Moving along, here are this week's results.
Bean Bolognese
Original Recipe: Eating Well
I made this exactly as written, with three exceptions: I substituted dried parsley for fresh because I didn't have fresh and it seemed silly to buy for one recipe, I used 1/2 cup veggie broth instead of white wine – I didn't want to open a bottle of wine to use 1/2 cup, and I used mozzarella cheese instead of parmesan because we didn't have any parm!
Time Required:
- The recipe says 40 minutes, but I was done start-to-finish in 25
Skill Level:
2Chili's Taster Rating (Out of 5):
He liked the sauce fine, but his complaint was the fettuccine noodles, and has asked next time to have the sauce on a fusilli, penne, or smaller pasta because he felt the sauce didn't cling well to the fettuccine.
The Cook's Taster Rating (Out of 5):
The noodle issue didn't really bother me, but I did feel something was missing. Not meat, necessarily, just something. Maybe cayenne pepper? Not sure.
From the original recipe source, based on four servings:
- 443 calories
- 11 g fat ( 3 g sat , 6 g mono )
- 9 mg cholesterol
- 67 g carbohydrates
- 19 g protein
- 14 g fiber
- 707 mg sodium
- 281 mg potassium.
- Vitamin A (70% daily value)
- Vitamin C (25% DV)
- Magnesium (24% DV)
- Calcium (20% DV)
The Verdict:
I typically wouldn't add the salt to a recipe like this, but did this time, since I thought the unsalted tomatoes I used might need it. After doing that, I really don't think 1/2 t is necessary – 1/4 t would be just fine, which would bring down the sodium count dramatically in this recipe. Otherwise, the nutritional profile is pretty good, so I will probably make this again. 2Chili said he would eat it again, as long as I served it on a different type of pasta. I will say, both our plates were clean as a whistle when we were done, so that is saying something…

CORTLAND, N.Y. - The State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) has selected the recipients for its weekly women's soccer awards. Buffalo State freshman Alexis Hanson has the honors of Offensive Athlete of the Week, while Geneseo senior Emily Janiszewski is the Defensive Athlete of the Week.
Hanson had a breakout weekend scoring three times, leading the Bengals to a pair of victories over Oneonta and New Paltz to open the SUNYAC season. Hanson netted the lone goal less than seven minutes into Friday's 1-0 win over Oneonta and then scored twice in Saturday's 3-0 victory against New Paltz. She leads the Bengals with four goals and nine points this season.
Janiszewski kicked off the Knights' conference schedule with a pair of shutout victories, increasing her season total to five clean sheets. Janiszewski made three saves in a 2-0 win against Potsdam, and followed up with a four-save shutout performance in a 1-0 victory over Plattsburgh. The Buffalo native has allowed just one goal in six games this season, posting a .938 save percentage and a 0.17 goals against average.

September - Ch Ch Ch Changes
The lovely weekend weather continued into Monday - yesterday was mostly sunny, but dark clouds arrived in the evening. I had hoped to stop at Karon Temple for some photos, as I noticed that the temple looks great just before sunset, but by 6pm there was no more sun. Later the rain did fall a little.
This morning I awoke ready for a brisk walk around the village and my daughter was ready to join me which was nice - we normally have to drag her out of bed in the mornings! Unfortunately it was pi**ing down at 7am, so no walking. I am sure my garden appreciates the rain, though I am trying to grow roses and orchids, not a rainforest..
However, by 8am the sun was shining again and indeed, with the air cleared by the early morning rain, promised to be a lovely day. I drove to Karon via Patong under blue skies, stopping off for a couple of photos... The Go Kart track is just outside Patong, and is a popular attraction for groups and families - you can even arrange your own "grand prix" - have a look at the Phuket Go Kart web site.
Just as you enter Patong, at the bottom of the hill, you find Patong Temple - a little bit of "old Patong" - a far cry from the hotels and bars in the tourist zones. The area of Patong around the temple is quiet and "local" with a little streetside market in the mornings and small local shops (now competing with the 7-11). You can read more about the temple here: Patong Temple.
So, today started wet, got sunny and then.. yes, it's raining again now!..no, wait..it's stopped... get the picture? Phuket wether is hard to fathom sometimes!
It was 6 years ago that the September 11th attacks took place. I saw it all happening on TV. Watching the World Trade Center collapse has to be the most shocking thing I have ever seen. I was hoping that I was actually watching a movie - this could not happen in real life, could it?

Using a random model at runtime
In my last post I hinted that using the Entity Frameworks Value layer and Metadata allows you to work against any Entity Data Model in a loosely coupled way.
Let's see how…
So let's imagine you are working against the Value layer. With code something like this:
using (EntityConnection conn = new EntityConnection(conn_str))
How do you walk up to any old model at runtime?
Well to do that you need some way of building a connection string. The way I do this in a bunch of my apps is I have a template and I simply merge parameters into it at runtime.
string EDM_CONN_STR_TEMPLATE = @"metadata={csdl}|{ssdl}|{msl};provider={provider};provider connection string=""{provider_connection_string}""";
conn_str = EDM_CONN_STR_TEMPLATE.Replace("{csdl}", csdlPath);
conn_str = conn_str.Replace("{ssdl}", ssdlPath);
conn_str = conn_str.Replace("{msl}", mslPath);
conn_str = conn_str.Replace("{provider}", provider);
conn_str = conn_str.Replace("{provider_connection_string}", providerConnectionString);
Now in all likelihood the {provider} is going to be System.Data.SqlClient and as a result the {provider_connection_string} is just a standard SQL connection string
NB: If you are wondering why I use {name1}{name2} in my template rather than {0}{1} , it is just to make the template a little easier to read!
Now you've done that you can issue any query you want against the connection. The question is what do you query?
Well probably your first step is to get a list of all the EntitySets available… How do you do that?
MetadataWorkspace workspace = conn.GetMetadataWorkspace();
var sets = from container in
from set in container.BaseEntitySets
where set is EntitySet
select set;
foreach (EntitySet set in sets)
Console.WriteLine("{0} holds instances of {1}", set.Name, set.ElementType.FullName);
So what is going on here?
Well first we get the MetadataWorkspace that holds all the information contained in the CSDL, MSL and SSDL files. Then we query for EntitySets inside EntityContainers in that CSpace.
What!? CSpace? EntityContainers? EntitySets?
A little glossary might help:
CSpace: The MetadataWorkspace holds a lot of information, and this is partitioned into various DataSpaces of which CSpace is one. The CSpace basically hold all the information about our Conceptual Model i.e. the Entities and EntitySets described in the CSDL files.
EntityContainer: This is place where we can group EntitySets, note if you use CodeGen the resulting specialized ObjectContext created is based on the EntityContainer, in particular you will find a property which exposes each EntitySet in the EntityContainer.
EntitySet: You can think of this as the EDM equivalent of a database Table. This is where you can actually get your Entities from. A very common question that comes up right about now is:
"Why can't I just have Entities and query those?"
Well the idea behind EntitySets is they allow you to have multiple places where a single EntityType can reside, and allow those to be treated independently. However in most simple applications there will probably be a be just one EntitySet per EntityType.
Okay so back to the code:
First we get all EntityContainers from the CSpace, then we get all Sets from the container and then we filter to make sure we have just EntitySets (it could be an AssociationSet… more on that another time).
At this point we have an enumeration of all EntitySets available.
In the next post I explain how we can use that…

Betfair Company Profile
Started in May 1999 by Ed Wray and Andrew Black, Betfair is a London-based Sportsbook. Formerly known as The Sporting Exchange, Betfair has come a long way in its 16 years of operation and has grown to become one of the largest online bookies in Europe. The company is licensed and operated in the UK, as well as having licensure in Gibraltar, Malta, Spain, Italy, the United States, Australia, Bulgaria, Denmark. Betfair's namesake also speaks to its level of integrity, and the company abides by 50 Memoranda of Understanding, which it has agreed upon with sports governing bodies.
Betfair has had great success thanks to the high quality and pioneering spirit of the features and markets they offer, including integrating the "in-play" feature in 2001, and their industry-leading Exchange section. Betfair also added a fixed odds Sportsbook in 2013, in order to better cater to recreational markets. With 950,000 active customers spread all over the world and conducting more than 7 million transactions daily, Betfair is one of the world's leading online sports betting websites.
Betfair Betting Exchange
One of the things which has set the company apart from their competitors is their Betfair Exchange. It has been an innovative move in the online sports betting industry, enabling individual users to bet against one another, instead of always needing to bet against a bookmaker. This has been fairly revolutionary in the online sports betting world, because it opens up a world of possibilities for users. It all relies on cutting-edge technology which Betfair has developed in order to run the platform smoothly.
How it works is that customers connect and wager against one another, and Betfair charges a small commission on the transaction for managing it. Because the odds have no built-in profit margin, they can typically be more profitable than standard fixed odds with a bookmaker. Betfair is able to do this because of the low risk involved. For this reason also, winning customers are welcomed, instead of having their accounts shut down as is typical with other companies.
Markets Available
As one of the largest online bookmakers in the world, Betfair has the markets to match their size. With several different sections to choose from, the Sportsbook, Exchange and Casino, it would really be a struggle to find something that they don't have. In this section, we'll go through a rundown of the different markets which Betfair has available to you.
In the Betfair Sportsbook section, you'll be able to find a diverse range of sports from American football to Rugby. Betfair has 20 different sports accessible from an easy drop-down menu on their site. We'll cover a few of the most popular among them, which are football, horse racing, tennis, American football and darts. Throughout the site, Betfair makes the odds for each competition easily accessible and readable, with an easy-to-use betslip. Live updates happen second-by-second, so you can keep up with developments as they happen in real time.
Here you can bet on the both UK and international football. All the necessary information is displayed in an easy-to-access grid so you can place your bets based on the division you'd like to bet on, or you can quickly select a particular game from the In-Play or Coming Up sections. The Football Multiple Builder is a handy tool situated in the top-right of the screen, and it allows you to quick-select bets under a chosen amount based on a slider which you set. Here you can lock, add in and spin selections, and add a whole group of bets at a time to your betslip.
Horse Racing
In the Horse Racing section of Betfair, you'll find a lineup of races arranged according to division: UK, USA, Chile and Virtuals. From the menu, you can view the results of recently ended races with their results, In-Play options and priced up selections. Below the Schedule is a Quick Pick table listing current and upcoming markets with the participants and their odds laid out. Using the Timeform 1-2-3 tool, you can see top-rated selections for a given race, along with tips about the horse's recent performance. There is also a feature to automatically add the Timeform 1-2-3 suggested bets to your betslip.
Betfair's Tennis section starts with a box displaying competitions based on your selection criteria: you can view competitions based on if they are Featured selections, based on region, or you can choose to see all competitions going on today. Here you also have an In-Play option and can view competitions which are starting soon. In the Virtual Tennis window in the top-right corner of the window, you can watch virtual matches as a Live stream.
Cricket Competitions and Coupons are laid out much like the other sports on betfair.com. Similarly, you can see which matches are Featured, Today and all the regional selections. Under the main bar where you select the category of competition you'd like to view, you can find the Coming Up section which shows upcoming competitions based on your selection criteria, as well as showing the odds for those selections. By clicking on a given event, you can view more detailed information about it and all the relevant statistics related to that match.
American Football
For fans of American Football, you can view and select games in a table ordered based on time or by competition. In this section, you can see Featured competitions and coupons, or choose to browse upcoming and events happening today. Within the listing, you'll find a schedule of the relevant events, with odds for Moneyline, Handicap, and Total Points (U/O) wagers, and if you click on the arrow, you can look at an expanded table with other options like Winning Margin, Win Match In Overtime, Win Match In Normal Time, Team Points (U/O), Odd or Even Total Points, Double Result and several more.
Greyhound Racing
Here you'll find all the current info on current and upcoming Greyhound races. You can browse a selection with options such as those happening Today, Antepost, Form and Radio, as well as based on region or Virtuals. The schedules are displayed showing the current competitions going on at the moment, advancing with the upcoming competitions arranged in chronological order. Under the table of competitors, you can also look at the 1-2-3 Prediction, listing the three top-rated competitors in a given race. In the Verdict next to that, you can find notes on the performance of a given greyhound who is preferred to win the race.
New On Betfair.com
The newest areas of betfair.com are the Virtual Sports and Macau sections. Let's take a look at these new sections.
This recently-added section offers an Asian-style game experience. The games offered include Dragon's Luck, Wild Fight, Red Phoenix Rising, Divine Ways, Fortune Fest, Jade Charms, God of Wealth and Chinese Treasures. Take part in the Macau Monthly Loyalty Offer, called Red Letter Fortune. There is also a monthly £1K prize draw which you qualify for after completing the bonus wagering.
Virtual Sports
If you're into sports and interested in checking out something new, take a look at Virtual Sports. Here you can watch and bet on everything from Virtual Horse Racing to Football, Greyhounds, Tennis, Motor Racine, Speedway and Cycling. There are new competitions listed every three minutes. These events are set at fixed odds and use a random number generator to determine the outcomes. Virtual bets are treated exactly the same as other bets placed on real sporting events, and can be viewed under the My Virtual Bets tab.
Fast Funds
Betfair has launched a new withdrawal function, that allows players to receive their withdrawals within just a few hours. For most online casino withdrawals it can tale up to several days. But with the new Betfair Fast Funds you can have your money added to your account in 1-2 hours and maybe even before that. This feature works for players, who have used Visa Pre-Paid and Visa Debit as a payment method.
Betfair Mobile Options
If you're like most people, you don't want to spend all your time tied to your computer and it's much more convenient to access information through your mobile device. With mobile users in mind, Betfair offers several different options to make life easier. Whether you have an iPhone, iPad, or an Android smartphone, there is a Betfair app to suit it. You can download either version easily, quickly and for free. The Betfair app for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad) is downloadable from the iTunes app store, and you can get it as an Android app as well. The download will go straight onto your mobile device, so you can start using it immediately.
On top of getting the app for free, Betfair mobile users can also take advantage of mobile offers. Check out the Betfair main page to see the current offer.
You also get to Cash Out wherever and whenever you want, and can bet In-Play on any one of Betfair's markets from the convenience of your phone or tablet. Also thrown into the mix is Price Rush, which boosts your odds, even after a bet has been placed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about betfair.com and their services. If you have any questions which aren't covered here, refer to the Help & Contact Us section on the Betfair site for a full listing of customer support topics.
Where can I see my bets?
To view your bets in the Sportsbook, you have two options to navigate to see your bet history. You can do so by selecting the My Bets link, which is on the top left-hand side of the Betfair website. The other option is to select My Account on the top right-hand side of the Betfair website, then select My Bets from the drop-down menu which appears. Once you're in the My Bets section, you'll get an overview of your full betting history, including Current and Past bets.
How do I view my Sportsbook bets?
Once you're in the My Bets section, if you want to view only your Sportsbook bets, click on Fixed Odds/Sportsbook. That will filter your betting history to display only the Sportsbook bets. You can also use the other filters to show options like Exchange Bets, Exchange Games Bets and Account Statement Transactions.
Can anyone view the latest Betfair prices, or only Betfair customers?
You must be logged in to an active, funded account if you would like to view the latest Betfair prices. This is a security measure to discourage misuse or unauthorised use of betfair.com's data by software programs which do not use Betfair for betting purposes. The first time you make a deposit, your account will become an active funded account, so if you have done this you will have no problem viewing all the up-to-date prices for all markets on the Betfair website.
What if my bet has not been settled yet and the event is finished?
Most bets are settled within a matter of minutes once the market has closed. Usually markets are settled within a maximum of half an hour. So if your bet has yet to be settled and it has been longer than this maximum half-hour waiting period past the result time, you should contact Customer Service for troubleshooting. They will ask you for your Bet ID, which is found in the My Bets section of the website while you are logged in, on the top left-hand side of the page. Have the Bet ID ready when you get in touch with Customer Service and they will work with you to find out what has happened to your bet settlement.
How do I make a deposit?
To make a deposit into your Betfair account, you first need to be logged in. Next, click on the Deposit button, which is on the top right-hand side of the Betfair home page. Then all you need to do is select which method you'd like to use to deposit your funds. If you are using a credit card, you will be prompted to enter further details such as a CVV security number. Some payment methods have a required minimum deposit or can incur deposit fees. And it's good to note that the processing time varies for different payment methods, so that can influence your choice of one method over another.
What Payment Methods does Betfair accept?
The most popular payment method used at Betfair is debit card, for example Delta, Solo or Maestro. You can also use other commonly accepted debit and credit cards including Visa, MasterCard and Laser. Paypal, NETeller, Moneybookers, ClickandBuy, bank transfers, Western Union and cheques are also acceptable forms of payment at Betfair. Transaction fees may apply to certain methods, so be sure to consult the Betfair Payments table to see which method makes the most sense for you.
How do I switch the odds between decimals and fractions?
To switch the odds from displaying as decimals to fractions or from fractions to decimals, you can do so with a simple toggle. Go to the bottom of any page on the Betfair site, and just above the page footer you will find a button reading "View odds as:" and that will enable you to switch from Fractional to Decimal odds and back again. Once you've set your preference for how the odds display, that will be remembered, so it will display correctly the next time you enter the betfair.com site.
What happens when I win on a free bet?
If you win using a free bet token, the profit will be transferred to your main wallet. The stake amount of the initial free bet token is not returned. It's also important to note that it is not possible to use the Cash Out feature on any bets placed using a free bet token. To find out all the details about using free bet tokens, check out the Free Bets tab on this page: betfair.com/sport
How do I make a withdrawal?
In order to make a withdrawal from your account, select the My Account option in the top right-hand side of the Betfair home page. A drop-down menu will appear, and from that you need to click on My Betfair Account. This will open a new page, where you will see a number of tabs at the top of the page. Among those, select the Payments tab, then the Withdraw option from the sub-tabs which open up. Once there, select the method you'd like to withdraw from, enter the amount from the balance available to withdraw, then confirm your password, and finally click Withdraw.
How long does it take to make a withdrawal?
The time it takes to make a withdrawal can vary due to a number of different factors including the initial method of payment. Payment methods such as Moneybookers, Paypal, NETeller and WebMoney are generally the fastest, only taking about 12 hours for you to receive the first funds, and 24-30 hours to receive full payment. Bank Transfers take slightly longer, ranging from 1 to up to 5 working days to process and get your funds to you. Debit and Credit Cards typically take 2-3 working days to process. Bank holidays and weekends can cause delays, because the time is counted by working days, so keep that in mind when you're calculating the expected arrival of funds.
Why haven't I received a credit for a promotion I was e-mailed?
There is a "to-be-credited-by" date for all Betfair's e-mail promotional offers, which can be found by clicking on the Terms and Conditions link at the bottom of the respective promotional e-mail you were sent. If that date has already passed and you have met all of the qualifying Terms and Conditions required for that promotion, then consult Customer Service to troubleshoot the problem.
Can I Cash Out part of my bet and leave part of it in?
Yes you can. In order to Cash Out part of your bet and leave the remainder to run, just use Betfair's easy slider tool. This feature is brand new to betfair.com. To use it, all you have to do is click on "Cash Out part of my bet", which opens up the slider from a drop-down. Then select the amount you'd like to Cash Out. When you move the slider along, the respective amount will be automatically calculated and displayed so you can see exactly how much you would Cash Out with at that point, as well as how much will be kept in. When you are satisfied with your selection, click on the yellow Cash Out button.
What is the Take Stake feature?
The Take Stake feature lets you Cash Out the exact value of your initial stake on a given bet. This gives you a free shot at making money minus the risk of losing, because you've already taken out your initial investment. To take advantage of this option, keep an eye out for a yellow dot which appears on the slider, indicating precisely where you would need to set the slider to Cash Out your original stake. And as usual with the Cash Out feature, you'll also be able to see how much would be returned alongside your stake in the case your bet goes on to win.
Is there a limit on how many times I Cash Out?
No, you can use the Cash Out feature as many times as you'd like, as long as the Cash Out slider is available on the bet. Make sure to note that the Cash Out function is not available for the Sportsbook free bet tokens.
What kind of responsible gambling resources does Betfair have?
Betfair offers a couple of tools which help betters keep on top of their finances and prevent things from getting out of control. You can use their Budget Calculator to assess how much money you can realistically put toward leisure spending such as gambling, and having that kind of overview helps to make informed decisions. There is also a Betfair Dairy feature, which keeps track of the time and money you spend on gambling on a weekly basis. This is a cool time management tool, which lets you stay on top of your weekly spending. Aside from those features, the website also has a number of links and articles about responsible gambling.
What if I forget my username or password?
If you forget your username or password, have no fear, there is an easy solution to get you back into your account in practically no time. Go to the Betfair main page and in the top right-hand corner of the page, you'll see "Forgot your username / password?". Click on the respective link, either username or password, whichever is the one you're missing. Then a pop-up window will prompt you to enter either your email address (in the case of a missing username) or username (in the case of a missing password), and you'll be sent a message to help recover your user information.

I think it's real…I think it might come out someday…has all of this been a dream? This is how I have felt with every bit of news about No Man's Sky and the release of it. Everytime I saw a piece of the game I turned into Smeagol trying to get his precious. Then we would hear about push backs and uncertain dates led me to think the game would never happen. Good news (Farnsworth voice) No Man's Sky has been given the greenlight with a release date for June 21st and a special edition!
To add fuel to the spaceship They will be releasing a limited run (10,000 copies) No Man's Sky "Explorer Edition" version of the game sold exclusively by iam8bit. If you drop down the $150 you can plan on getting yourself a hand-paired cast metal space ship, an enamel pin, a "diorama display backdrop", and a "mystery item". Sounds like a lot of money for those items but iam8bit is saying that the package is worth $250.
iam8bit will also have a slew of other No Man's Sky items for purchase that they are calling the "first wave" of merchandise and will keep releasing new items at fan requests. Check out some of the stuff in the pics below. Be watching as I smell a giveaway as we get closer to the game launch here on DHTG!

Reusing is a core Lazy Environmentalist tenet — as long as it's easy and convenient to do. And when it comes to home renovation, the easiest places to turn for high-quality, affordable, recycled building elements are the retailers that specialize in these salvaged materials.
The Building Material Reuse Association maintains an extensive online directory of salvage retailers throughout the United States. A quick search reveals providers in every state who offer everything from walnut flooring to granite countertops. Remember, just because a material is reused doesn't mean it will necessarily look reused. And installing reused materials in your home means you are respecting your wallet while extending the useful life of quality products (and keeping them out of landfills).
Necessity is the mother of invention
Like MetroPaint in Portland, Ore., The Green Project also recycles and reprocesses leftover paint and makes it available to residents for $5 a gallon. Other major salvage warehouse retailers like Second Use in Seattle, Wash., divert as much as 60 to 100 tons of quality reusable building materials from the landfill each month. You'll find items such as appliances, cabinets, sinks, countertops, doors, flooring, lighting fixtures, lumber, tiles, plumbing fixtures, windows and more — all at reasonable prices. Driftwood Salvage, based in East Palo-Alto, Calif., not only sells salvaged materials, but also uses reused materials to create its own line of affordable reclaimed products. Reclaimed wood butcher block countertops sell for about $20 per square foot. Finely crafted garden trellises are available for $179.99, and a sturdy reclaimed wood compost box sells for $199.99.

Home » What We Do » Drug Reaction
In today's' society, unfortunate drug reactions, mostly fatal, have become commonplace. Decreased oversight of the FDA, understaffed hospital pharmacies, the existence of online pharmacies, the increased number of available drugs, and treatments administered by multiple doctors and specialists are all catalysts of the increased number of fatal drug interaction deaths within the United States.
Do you believe a loved one has been tragically poisoned by a toxic or fatal drug reaction, or worse yet, permanently disabled or killed? In order to prevent similar medical mishaps, as well as determine the real cause of fatality or permanent disability, it is imperative to retrieve medical and pharmaceutical records and consult a Houston Personal Injury Lawyer experienced in pharmaceutical liability to evaluate your options.
Hiring an experienced and knowledgeable Houston Lawyer will provide information about your state's laws regarding pharmaceutical and drug reactions, assist in determining any and all possible negligence, and ensure that your interests are properly represented, while guaranteeing all necessary claims are addressed in a timely and efficient manner.

It is the major architectural goal was to design the center as a unique landmark. Therefore any analogy to existing trade fair halls or convention centers in other cities or countries had to be clearly avoided.
The expressive shape of the buildings is produced by folded surfaces which continue the grid of the plaza and develop a sculptural idea of architecture. Clad surfaces alter with glass areas so that a clear rhythm is produced which provide structure to the comparatively big building.
At the same time the building is energy saving by highly insulated cladding structures as well as double skin glass structures.

How Do I Cover My Dummy Cake?
Decorating By CanCakeMom Updated 10 Oct 2005 , 12:55am by ihavasweet2th
I bought some cake rounds from the bulk barn.. when i tried to cover it with saran wrap it just went all bumpy and didn't stick!
how do i make it stick to the styrefoam?
Try contact paper. It should work much better. I just bought some dummies, too. Haven't had a chance to practice on them though.
I don't wrap my strofoam dummies. If I'm covering with fondant I brush with melted jam to make the fondant stick. When I'm finished I jus remove from the cake board and soak upside down in a sink of warm soapy water. The icing melts away and once dried the dummy is ready to use again
I don't cover the dummy cakes either. I just spread the buttercream directly on the styrofoam and it's so easy. And you don't have to use near as much as on a real cake. Hot, soapy water takes it right off with no problem.
Hope that helps.
I've have only used fondant once, but was instructed to take a brush and apply water to the syraphome and then apply the fondant. Also, I was told that you could use BC.
I have been told that you can cover your dummy with either PermaIce or Joint Compound so that your icing could easily be washed off. Never tried it though.
I ice mine with royal icing and then ice with buttercream, works out great and so far no one has been able to tell the real cake from the dummy cake!!
I cover mine with saran wrap .. yes it's lumpy on the first coat of icing, but when you apply the second coat, it will smooth out just fine.. I have covered that with fondant also .. then I just grab the saran on the bottom, peel off and throw it all away into the trash can .. I've practiced over and over with this method and it's worked for me everytime... It's all in what you want to cover your dummies with really and what works best for you
I ice mine with royal icing and then ice with buttercream, works out great and so far no one has been able to tell the real cake from the dummy cake!!

The SPKR jack is designed for powered speakers. If it produces a clean sound then I'd guess the TX amplifiers are somehow picking up the 1kHz from the USB cable. I've never seen this happen so don't have a specific solution but there are some things you can try.
Put a ferrite choke on the USB cable or find a USB cable that has one. Check for ground loops. Make sure you power supply is floating and doesn't have its negative tied to ground. Cut the USB_SHIELD jumper and replace it with any of the leaded capacitors you have left over from the kit. Rebuild the three transformers in the transmitter. And, as Rainer said, check the power supply voltage while transmitting to make sure the voltage doesn't drop.

In A View to a Kill, after the assassination of Monsieur Aubergine at the Eiffel Tower, Bond heads after the assassin and "borrows" a taxi just below the tower. May Day has jumped from the tower with a parachute and Bond is chasing her down the Seine. The taxi is parked on Quai Branly.
After throwing out the taxi driver, who is having his lunch and a glass of wine (the French!), Bond drives down the stairs and ends up at the Port de la Bourdonnais, the street that runs along the Seine.
Bond is obviously trying to avoid the Paris traffic and decides to take the low road by the Seine when he follows May Day. Bond would later jump over a bus, transform the car into a convertible with two wheels before the car chase ends at the Pont Alexandre III. These locations will be covered later.
|Bond takes the low road instead of trying to get through the Paris traffic
This location has not changed a lot since 1985 and Sir Roger's visit. There are still bus loads of tourists naturally, but the taxis do not line up by the Eiffel Tower as they did in the film. Today, Bond would most likely have gotten into a bycycle rickshaw - numerous can be found on location. It is strange however, that the tower does not feature more extensively during the car chase, considering the nice angles and the fact that it is visible from almost everywhere. When watching the car chase I have a feeling that it is just a little too short. Director Glen could probably have gotten more out of Paris as a Bond location.
The taxi stunt sequence was arranged by the famous stunt driver Remy Julienne, who of course is known for having arranged the Citroën car chase in For Your Eyes Only among several other car chases. Unfortunately Julienne's presence behind the wheel instead of Sir Roger is obvious in more than one scene... Julienne would continue to arrange car stunts for the Bond series even during the Brosnan era.
