A scythe (/ˈsaɪð/ or /ˈsaɪθ/)[1] is an agricultural hand tool for mowing grass or reaping crops. It was largely replaced by horse-drawn and then tractor machinery, but is still used in some areas of Europe and Asia. The Grim Reaper and the Greek Titan Cronus are often depicted carrying or wielding a scythe.
"Scythe" derives from Old English siðe.[1] In Middle English and after it was usually spelt sithe or sythe. However, in the 15th century some writers began to use the sc- spelling as they thought (wrongly) the word was related to the Latin scindere (meaning "to cut").[2] Nevertheless, the sithe spelling lingered and notably appears in Noah Webster's dictionaries.[3][4]

A scythe consists of a wooden shaft about 170 centimetres (67 in) long called a snaith, snath, snathe or sned (modern versions are sometimes made from metal or plastic). The snaith may be straight, or with an "S" curve, but the more sophisticated versions are curved in three dimensions, allowing the mower to stand more upright. The snaith has either one or two short handles at right angles to it – usually one near the upper end and always another roughly in the middle. A long, curved blade about 60 to 90 centimetres (24 to 35 in)) long is mounted at the lower end, perpendicular to the snaith. Scythes always have the blade projecting from the left side of the snaith when in use, with the edge towards the mower. In principle a left-handed scythe could be made, but it could not be used together with right-handed scythes in a team of mowers, as the left-handed mower would be mowing in the opposite direction.
A scythe blade is made by peening the leading edge of the blade. In some uses, such as for mowing grass, the blade-edge is made almost as thin as paper. After peening, the edge is finished and subsequently maintained by very frequent stropping or honing with a whetstone or rubber (fine-grained for grass, coarser for cereal crops), and peened again as necessary to recover the fineness of the edge.
The "American" scythe blade is not usually peened as part of sharpening, being made using a stamping process that produces a harder blade than other styles of scythe blade. The harder blade holds an edge longer and requires less frequent sharpening. Rather than being maintained through peening, the edge of the American pattern of blade is traditionally reshaped after heavy use by grinding on a large diameter grindstone. Joseph Jenckes was awarded on March 6, 1646 the first patent in North America by the General Court of Massachusetts, for making scythes. This basic scythe design remained in use for over 300 years.
Using a scythe is called mowing, or often scything, to distinguish it from mowing with more complex machinery. Mowing is done by holding the top handle in the left hand and the central one in the right, with the arms straight, the blade parallel to the ground and very close to it, and the body twisted to the right. The body is then twisted steadily to the left, moving the scythe blade along its length in a long arc from right to left, ending in front of the mower, thus depositing the cut grass to the left. Mowing proceeds with a steady rhythm, stopping at frequent intervals to sharpen the blade. The correct technique has a slicing action on the grass, cutting a narrow strip with each stroke – a common beginner's error is to chop or hack at the grass, with the blade length at right angles to it, thus trying to cut too wide a strip of grass at once. This is much harder work, and is ineffective. Cutting too close to the ground can contaminate the blade with soil, rapidly blunting it. Much of the skill is in keeping the blade close to the ground and the cuts even.
Mowing is normally done cutting out of the uncut grass, the mower moving along the mowing-edge with the uncut grass to his right. The cut grass is laid in a neat row to the left, on the previously-mown land. Each strip of ground mown by a scythe is called a swathe (pronounced /ˈsweɪð/: rhymes with "bathe") or swath (/ˈswɒθ/: rhymes with "Goth"). Mowing may be done by a team of mowers, usually starting at the edges of a meadow then proceeding clockwise and finishing in the middle. Mowing grass is easier when it is damp, and so hay-making traditionally began at dawn and often stopped early, the heat of the day being spent raking and carting the hay cut on previous days.
Mowing with a scythe is a skilled task, performed with relative ease by experienced mowers, but often poorly and with very great effort by beginners. Long-bladed traditional scythes with double-curved wooden snaiths are harder to use at first, but once mastered are more effective and comfortable for longer periods. Shorter-bladed or hack-scythes are easier for beginners. A skilled mower using a traditional long-bladed scythe can even cut very short grass, and this is how lawns were maintained until the invention of the lawnmower.
In addition to mowing grass and reaping crops, a scythe can also be used for mowing reed or sedge, remaining effective even with the blade under water.
The scythe and pitchfork have frequently been used as a weapon by those who couldn't afford or didn't have access to more expensive weapons such as swords, or later, guns.[citation needed] Jan Žižka's and later Hussite warriors, recruited mostly from peasantry, used scythes modified by blacksmiths so that their tangs were straightened and the attached blade actually lengthened the snaith. Called originally 'kůsa -scythe' and later 'sudlice', it doubled as both stabbing and cutting weapon, developing later into the 'ušatá sudlice' - eared gisarme, more suitable for combat - thanks to side spikes (ears), acting as end stops, it did not penetrate too deep, and so it was easier to pull it out from the adversary's guts.
Scythes and pitchforks were stereotypically carried by angry mobs or gangs of enraged peasants.[citation needed]
According to the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquitis of Sir William Smith, the scythe, known in Latin as the falx foenaria (as opposed to the sickle, the falx messoria), was used by the ancient Romans; for illustration, Smith shows an image of Saturn holding a scythe, from an ancient Italian cameo.
According to Jack Herer and "Flesh of The Gods" (Emboden, W.A., Jr., Praeger Press, NY, 1974.); the ancient Scythians grew hemp and harvested it with a hand reaper that we still call a scythe.
The scythe was invented in about 500 BC and appeared in Europe during the 12th and 13th centuries. Initially used mostly for mowing grass, it replaced the sickle as the tool for reaping crops by the 16th century, the scythe allowing the reaper to stand rather than stoop. In about 1800 the addition of light wooden fingers above a scythe blade produced a form of scythe called the cradle which soon replaced the simple scythe for reaping grain and mowing other tall vegetation such as reeds. In the developed world, all of these have now largely been replaced by motorized lawnmowers and combine harvesters.
The Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet in Sheffield, England is a museum of a scythe-making works that was in operation from the end of the 18th century until the 1930s.[5] This was part of the former scythe-making district of north Derbyshire, which extended into Eckington.[6] Other English scythe-making districts include that around Belbroughton.[7]
Mowing with a scythe remained common for many years even after most mowing became mechanized, because a side-mounted finger-bar mower (whether horse or tractor drawn) cannot mow in front of itself. Scythes would therefore be used to open up a meadow – to mow the first swathes, thus letting the mechanical mower in to complete the mowing.
Scythes in national cultures[edit]
The scythe is still an indispensable tool for farmers in developing countries and in mountainous terrain.
In Romania, for example, in the highland landscape of the Apuseni mountains,[8] scything is a very important annual activity, taking about 2–3 weeks to complete for a regular house[needs citation]. As scything is a tiring physical activity and is relatively difficult to learn, farmers help each other by forming teams. After each day's harvest, the farmers often celebrate by having a small feast where they dance, drink and eat, while being careful to keep in shape for the next day's hard work. In other parts of the Balkans, such as in Serbian towns, scything competitions are held where the winner takes away a small silver scythe.[9] In small Serbian towns, scything is treasured as part of the local folklore, and the winners of friendly competitions are rewarded richly[10] with food and drink, which they share with their competitors.
Among Basques scythe-mowing competitions are still a popular traditional sport, called segalaritza (from sega: scythe). Each contender competes to cut a defined section of grown grass before his rival does the same.
There is an international scything competition held at Goricko[11] where people from Austria, Hungary, Serbia and Romania, or as far away as Asia appear to showcase their culturally unique method of reaping crops.[12] In 2009, a Japanese gentleman showcased a wooden reaping tool with a metal edge, which he used to show how rice was cut. He was impressed with the speed of the local reapers, but said such a large scythe would never work in Japan.
The Norwegian municipality of Hornindal has three scythe blades in its coat-of-arms.
Scythes are beginning a comeback in American suburbs, since they "don't use gas, don't get hot, don't make noise, do make for exercise, and do cut grass."[13]
The scythe also plays an important traditional role, often appearing as weapons in the hands of mythical beings such as Cronus, and one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, specifically, Grim Reaper (Death). This stems mainly from the Christian Biblical belief of death as a "harvester of souls."[disputed ]
War scythe[edit]
A war scythe is a regular scythe that has been adapted for combat use by re-attaching the blade parallel to the haft, rather than perpendicular to it, so that it looks like a bill. After the German Peasants' War during 1524–1525, a fencing book edited by Paulus Hector Mair described in 1542 techniques how to fence using a scythe.[14] War scythes were widely used by Polish and Lithuanian peasants during revolts in the 18th and 19th centuries.[citation needed]

Heredia List Tougher Than Mitchell Report?
This Forum was created to divert traffic from Current Events at the height of the BALCO scandal. It comes and goes as "needed"; it's back to being locked.
The obviousl difference is that I'm just some fan posting on the tinterweb whereas Nick Davies is and official spokeman for the IAAF. Whatever he knows now he can't possibly know what is going to come up in the trial so it's best for him to say nothing rather than put the IAAF in an awkward position when the sh*t hits the fan.
Just reread my original post and should say that i didn't mean he should 'shut up' as aggresively as it may have read. I just meant that in the circumstances actually coming out in support of Maurice is clearly not the best thing to do as the IAAF could end up with egg all over their face. Surely saying nothing would be the best policy until all the facts are known.
As someone on another board pointed out: how hypocritical does one have to be to be a staunch anti-drug proponent, but at the same time "lend" tens of thousands of dollars to one's team-mates for an undisclosed use (which may likely be PEDs)?
This is starting to sound like Marion. As I recall, all she did was write some checks to help others, too.
I've kind of insinuated this for years on this site (rightly or wrongly); often tempted to type MOAT (most obvious of all time) in posts (rightly or wrongly).
Upon MGs retirement the AW website had a post 'Great Maurice Greene Retires' which has precisely 0 replies - don't know if that is a reflection of that type of opinion there?
Thanks. I was a little surprised that they did not come out with the softer message that 'they had looked at such allegations previously and nothing connected up, but they would follow the current proceedings to see if things change. I think that we would expect the information content of the 'its ok' message to be high, and if it is not (i.e., if the chance of IAAF being wrong here is non-trivial) they should not be saying it this way (i.e., I think that we are in basic agreement here except for the guess as to how good the IAAF's info is, conditional on their making this statement).
I think in Mo Greene's case, the reason why so many people looked the other way is because he was so good with the fans. I think that most people who've been around him will admit that there have been very few athletes of his stature who were as accessible as he was.
No idea really about the AW board. I'm not being funny, or xenophobic, and I know darn well the US isn't the only country at this game, but there's getting to be a long list of US (and North American) sprinters linked to drugs, rightly or wrongly. Of course, the UK can't really say much either.
If this is proven, that's 2 major sprint groups linked to one scandal and 2 of the 4 groups that have provided most of the USA's medal winners over the past 20 years. Ok, it's not going to make much of an impression on your national press, but it'll destroy US and North American credibility with the rest of the world.
This is so unfair on the clean athletes 'cos it leaves people with the impression that the sport is absolutely riddled with the rocket fuel at the top.
So was Marion. So was Regina. So was . . . .
From what I've seen, there is no correlation one way or the other between being outgoing, likeable, good with the fans, etc. and being clean.
I've never been around Regina when there were no cameras around, but I've heard that Marion wasn't the nicest person to be around away from the cameras. But I agree with your larger point, that likability and integrity are two completely independent character traits, but sometimes people confuse the two. That's why people like Bob Costas, who threw Barry Bonds under the bus years ago, are still trying to make excuses for Roger Clemens. And that's why it was so shrewd of John McCain to throw a barbecue at his house for the Washington press corp. It's hard to slam people that you like.
It appears these drugs have a secondary effect of turning cheats into smiling liars
all innocent looking and harmless, butter wouldn't melt in their mouths, or is professional actor training part of the treatment?
Perhaps if America was kept out of the Beijing Olympics as an example this might act as a deterrent, alternatively lose their right to host the games!
What do YOU think?
I think it's a great idea. Seriously.
The reason that this has been able to go on so long is that the US authorites have turned a complete blind eye to all of this for decades. Rather than try to clean up the obvious drug culture in American sprinting they either ignored or hindered those trying to catch the cheats every step of the way.
Recently they've been making a real effort but it's too little too late.
In both Rowing and Weightlifting there is a rule that if a certain amount of people from one country are banned for drugs within a certain period the whole team is disqualified. I say bring it in to T&F as well.

US team officials and coaches have been p*ssing their star spangled jocks in glee for the last 19 yrs since the GDR dissolved It allowed them to dominate the medal table and women's sprinting in particular.
Most people knew they were no better, but with Balco and now this at least we have the evidence to allow us to gloat.
I think we're all pretty naive if we think this is limited to American sprinting.
Nobody suggested it was, but certainly the recent spate of drug scandals have all been American. For decades the US have clearly been at the forefront of drug cheating in track and field. Throughout the 80's they were just as guilty as the Eastern Block but got a fraction of the attention. It's now obvious that the cheating continued on throughout the 90's and 00's with very little attempt by the US authorities to do anything about it. They are now having to deal with a problem all of their own making.
I can tell a majority of posters here are Non-Americans so I will keep my comments as PC as possible. T&F is an International sport and the doping problem is an "International Problem". Yes the focus right now is on American sprinters, but there are just as many foreign sprinters who train in American sprint camps, went to American Universities, and were/are coached by the same American coaches who are unders suspicion/investigation for supplying their athletes with PEDs.
Now before I say this, understand that I am 100% biased and I'm not afraid to say so:
They should not ban the U.S. from the Olympic Games because of past athletes' actions. The United States is so deep with talent in the sprints that we could field a team of all collegiate athletes and still walk away with a pretty good medal count. Just like I'm pretty sure the Kenyans and Ethiopians can dig pretty deep into their distance team and come up with medals as well.
Let's focus on getting rid of the current drug cheats and giving the clean athletes a chance to compete.
My 2 coppers...
I agree.
The difference between the US and other countries is that we aren't patriotic enough to support cheaters holistically because capitalism says expose them and make all the money you can.
I mean...it's a Game of Shadows...you know?
I don't think any of us are in any doubt that this is a worldwide problem. That would tend to imply though that they're all at it around the world which is quite worrying really. That would also mean you're implying that the sport is indeed riddled at the elite end and we can't trust any of the results. Not a very attractive prospect. Ok, I may be exaggerating and I'm sure the sport's cleaner than it has been for a while, but that's where this process of discussion is leading to.
Still the US is getting more of the attention because of the very high profile scandals now issuing from the continent and that US authorities spent so much time yakking about steroids in the Eastern Bloc while at the same time it appears that quite as many drugs were flowing through the US. Just a different way of doing it, and that a blind eye was turned to it. Of course, the US does tend to have more sprinting talent than the rest, so you're naturally going to get more attention, welcome or unwelcome.
Anyway, a report has turned up on Eurosport/Yahoo that Jamaican sprinter Raymond Stewart - a silver medallist at the worlds in 87 has denied Heredia's allegations - I wasn't aware of anywhere that had named the other 11 athletes on Heredia's list though.
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/15042008/ ... ement.html
The truth... if you care
I'd like to put this doping thing to rest once and for all. I've tried with varying degrees of success for a long time to bring this to the attention of folks with USATF, IRS, USADA, FBI, you name the alphabet soup organization. I've even tried in here and reached out to a number of you in private. The only positive response I got back was from EPelle starting about three years ago.
At any rate everything the Angel has released is true. The only problem is that it is still not the entire story. For the 12 athletes he names, there are many, many more that he doesn't. The reason why I know is that I had worked with him over the three years to come clean. He approached me about the same time the Balco story broke and told me about what his role had been in doping. He also told me how much he hated Conte and that Conte was just showboating to promote himself.
I have been involved in T&F for over 20 years as an official, coach and then I registered as an agent to get closer to get a clearer picture. I was doing my best Upton Sinclair imitation and elite track and field is like being in a slaughterhouse. You don't want to see how the sausage is made. Whether you care to believe me or not, the sport was rife with people looking to cheat. Not so much the athletes but the agents, coaches and some shoe reps were pushing their charges as hard as they could to gain any advantage they could.
I'm praying for the day when people will stop lying and just say what happened. It is sad but true the the USA was right up there with the East Germans in terms of cheating. The only difference is that it wasn't government sponsored. Our government could care less. Our cheating was sponsored by the sponsors.
I would go on but I'll let you wait until the trial to get the testimony. I don't want to get hauled off for leaking grand jury stuff. Speaking of that, the boys at the SF Chronicle and in Congress wasted everyones time with the baseball stuff. Baseball has been a joke for years. Damn near all of those cats in MLB can verify they know someone who is doping.
There is one good thing though. Not everyone is track was or is juiced and there is a whole lot of good young people coming up. We track fans need to push for a better way to support the athletes and the sport so that we can keep the nogoodniks out. Please let's not ever go back to the "Sub-10" days. That just fed the beast.
I remember reading Stewart's name when Greene's first leaked but I forget why now...it was to do with him as a coach rather than an athlete.
Who does he coach, apart from the athlete mentioned in that Eurosport link ?
It was a phone call to Stewart regarding his association with Heredia I believe.
I think he said that he had spoken to Heredia but that "we don't believe in that stuff around here" or something like that.
That raises a good point. I have no idea who said what to whom and when, but let's remember that if Heredia was out there trying to get athletes and coaches interested in drugs that he could supply, some of those athletes and coaches undoubtedly said "I'm not interested in that stuff" (or words to that effect).
In that case, it would still be undeniably true that the athlete or coach had a conversation with Heredia regarding drugs. It would also not demonstrate that anyone other than Heredia was involved with trafficking in drugs or using them.
Of course, it's not unlikely that some potential customers said "yes." That's another matter. But the mere fact that an athlete or coach was solicited by Heredia doesn't mean that he or she committed a doping offense.
I was just thinking that the clean athletes have themselves to blame when they don't rat out the cheaters and drug pushers. I'm guessing that most clean athletes at the elite level get approached by either a drug pusher or a dirty athlete to try PED's at some point in their careers. If that athlete only responds, "No, I'm not interested", and then doesn't inform authorities, isn't that clean athlete also part of the problem? Shouldn't that athlete inform the FBI, the DEA or some other agressive law enforcement agency? I'm sure there a lot of young and eager G-men looking to make names for themselves by taking down a big name athlete.
that's a bit naive... the clean athletes are not culpable. nor are they responsible for keeping the sport clean. in the VAST majority of the time, drugs in this sport are not pushed athlete to athlete. there is a corporate pressure being pushed on these athletes that makes it so prevalent. as usual, it's the guys in the white collars who are controlling this issue. the blue collar athletes should ultimately be held responsible for what goes in their body, but the pressure to use and easy access is facilitated by the white collars of the sport.
you also must look at what is the incentive for a clean athlete to turn in a suspected cheater? why would a clean athlete want to further alienate his beloved sport from the masses? every positive test sullies our sport. why expose (and discredit further) the sport that provides the athlete an identity and in some rare cases a very nice living? clean ath;letes are doing enough for the sport by staying clean and having the integrity to play by the rules. there is no onus on them to name names.
ha ha ha I don t think any country is more patriotic than USA....
If I dare to say something as small as "smaller countries would have been banned from Olympics for same amount of US doping scandals" my comment is immediately erased.
Nice democracy Trackandfieldnews.com! Good job
No matter where the drugs come from there is one person who is ultimately responsible; the person who choses to ingest them. No suit forces drugs down an athletes throats, rubs it on their skin, or injects them. The responsibility begins and ends with the individual (not including state sponsored doping, of course).
Every athlete knows they are competing against dopers; it's their choice whether to go to the dark side or not. There lies the moral dilemma they face. And when national and international associations spend decades covering up, hiding tests, protecting individuals, put them in their Hall of Fame's......it's no wonder many feel they simply have no choice if they want to be competitive.
Don't you you mean jingoistic or nationalistic? I think of patriotism as the flag waving that you see at the Olympics and all countries have a some of that, and I don't think that's a bad thing.
So are you saying that clean athletes should keep their mouths shut even if an agent, trainer, coach or fellow athlete tries to provide them with PED's?
The same incentive a dirty cheater has to turn in one of his/her own, namely better lane draws with the absense of their foe; more available prize money; VIP treatment to/from/during meets. Alienate his/her sport from the masses? The sport isn:t on the map but once every four years in the USA. Every positive test kicks out an unwanted member of an exclusive club. Expose and discredit a sport which provides a means to live/survive? Sponsors (Nike) aren:t shy of laying out the bucks for good talent, period. Neither is adidas.
No onus to name names? I:d call this a bit foolish.
so should the clean athletes go about wearing hidden microphones or cameras? scavenging trash cans in a dirty athlete's home? if a clean athlete reports a dirty athlete without proof, its going to get ugly. the burden of proof is on the accuser, after all, and so unless there is proof, the reputation of the clean athlete is going to be tainted as a "poor loser" or "self serving hypocrite" by fans and people on message boards.
nevermind the fact that if USADA or the IAAF (or the various corporate sponsors) start having to take every accusation seriously, and investigate each accusation, things are going to get very expensive and bogged down. athletes will be accusing each other left and right in order to gain a competitive advantage and disrupt the lives of their rivals. is this what you want?
unless there is tangible proof, yes.
There are toll-free lines one can dial and leave an anonymous tip. Up to IAAF to determine the veracity of the tip. Worked in the case of catching Veneva and Stambolova.
Would an tape recording of a conversation, in which PED's are being peddled, suffice?
Tim Montgomery and Chryste Gaines got busted on less than a taped conversation. They were busted essentially on Kelli Whites testimony (and the fact they did not refute it).

How long does it take for an address change to take effect? My package(according to the company) was supposed to get here today, but today they just finally gave me the tracking number, and it is already on its' way into the state. I will be at a different address tomorrow so I changed it, and the addresses(when I changed one to the other) are only an hour away from each other. Does this mean my delivery date will be changed?

Did you mean?Try your search again
19 year old college daughter and I are going to Ensenada for 2 days tomorrow -- we are both outdoorsy, nature lovers, also both speak Spanish and love culture and meeting people. Not big shoppers. At home staying at a really inexpensive hotel or a nice resort. We are renting a car in San Diego and driving down. Already have hotel reservations. Thanks!!
I've been across many times, but the last time, the new pedestrian route was a difficult walk for me. Are there now any reasonable alternatives ? Mexicoach used to run a cross border bus, but they were very unreliable. I think there must be some other way - I'm not the only one who would have difficulty with the new pedestrian crossing.
are u allow to buy antibodics and get across the border with them?
I'm in tijuana right now and do not have a passport i want to walk across with my ID and birth certificate if i'm a US citizen?
Why are public restrooms scarce in Ensenada ?
My passport was recently stolen while I have been in Mazatlan. I went to the US Consulate to find out what to do. The options they suggested were to get an emergency passport (which will take 3 days, so cant leave until 4 days from now) or to get to the border and walk across if I have a drivers license. I decided to do the latter, where I can fly to Tijuana tomorrow and then take a plane from San Diego to home. My question is, how much time should I plan on getting from Tijuana airport to border, cross the border, and get to the San Diego airport (I get in at 2:30 on a Tue)? What about a bus from TIJ airport across the border if I don't have a passport?
When we got home from one of our trips to ensenada, I had to buy a new tire rim. the car made it home to dana point ca. because the air came out slow enough not to cause a flat too soon. whats wrong with that city that they leave the same pot holes there that get bigger over time and they don't know how to repair pot holes in the street ? that one was hard to avoid hitting because it was either hit that or get hit by another car, they drive like they're nuts there too.

|Helmed the BBC drama "Charles II: The Power & the Passion" (aired in the U.S. on A&E as "The Last King")
Wright was born in 1972 in London, England. He grew up in a creative household, as his parents had founded a puppet company called The Little Angel Theatre. Wright always kept his eye on the arts, taking up painting and acting at a young age, but felt that the best he could do in life was to be a postman. Nonetheless, he developed an interest in film growing up in the 1970s and 1980s. With little instruction, he began pursuing his passion the old-fashioned way; making his own movies with a Super-8 film camera. Despite being exceptionally bright and enterprising, Wright was a poor student because of his dyslexia. But on the strength of his homemade films and drawings, Wright was admitted to a private art school and later attended the Camberwell College of Arts, where he studied fine art and cinema. On of his short films, "Crocodile Snap" (1997), earned him several awards and nominations, including a nod at the 1998 BAFTA Awards, as well as a filmmaking scholarship with the BBC.
Wright started working in British television, beginning with the cult hit miniseries "Nature Boy," (BBC, 2000), "Bodily Harm" (Channel 4, 2002) and the period epic, "Charles II: The Power and the Passion" (A & E, 2003). The prolific young director made the jump to feature films with "Pride and Prejudice," the 1813 Jane Austen classic about the Bennett sisters, notably the free-thinking Elizabeth (Keira Knightley), and their mission to marry into genteel society. Reluctant to make a costume drama when he considered himself a filmmaker with edgier tastes, Wright nonetheless agreed to give the book a try after being sent the script, having never read it in his youth. After bringing it with him to a neighborhood pub, Wright was struck by how people faced the same difficulties in love and understanding back then, as people did in current society. By the time he finished the book, he had changed his mind and signed on to direct.
Not a stiff, mannered piece of literature, but the keen observations of a 24-year-old girl with a modern sensibility at the beginning of the 19th century, Wright was determined to transfer that spirit to film. In getting to the rebellious nature of the original work, Wright was careful to avoid the 1940 version starring Laurence Olivier and the 1995 BBC miniseries, considered by many to be the definitive interpretation of Austen's work. In casting Knightley as Lizzie and newcomer Matthew McFayden as her unlikely suitor, Darby, Wright stayed true to his conviction that the characters should be young enough to be discovering and exploring love for the first time. He also cast British stalwart Dame Judi Dench and American acting icon Donald Sutherland in the pivotal roles of Lady Catherine and Mr. Bennett.
Wright shifted the story from inside the parlor rooms to outside in the country, significantly opening up the visual palette, and favored realistic dirt and grime over pomp and circumstance. Avoiding the somber, carefully staged shots of stagecoaches pulling up to stately manors, Wright kept the camera moving with tracking shots, bringing an urgency and modern sense of life to the nearly 200-year-old story. His efforts paid off. "Pride and Prejudice" was a hit with critics, who widely embraced his grittier interpretation, while the film was a moneymaker at the box office, grossing over $120 million worldwide. The film earned four Oscar nominations, including a best actress nod for Knightley. For his efforts, Wright earned a BAFTA award for most promising newcomer. Aside from cementing his reputation as a filmmaker to be reckoned with, Wright also clicked enough with actress Rosamund Pike, who played Jane Bennett in the film, that she later became his wife.
After the dust settled, Wright was invited to direct another adaptation. He was given present-day literary giant Ian McEwan's 2001 novel, "Atonement," the story of a young girl who irrevocably alters lives when she fabricates a story, implicating a young man for a crime he never committed. Wright reunited with leading lady Knightley, who was joined onscreen by James McAvoy and Vanessa Redgrave. Critics embraced the film when it made the rounds at the festivals in Venice and Toronto, praising it for its fidelity to the award-winning novel. For a follow-up project, Wright was set to direct "The Soloist," the story of a violin prodigy whose schizophrenia reduced him to a life of homelessness and playing on the streets for donations. For a follow-up project, Wright directed "The Soloist" (2009), the true-to-life story about violin prodigy Nathaniel Ayers (Jamie Foxx), who developed schizophrenia while attending the Juilliard School, leaving him homeless and performing on the streets for money. But his life changes when a Los Angeles Times columnist (Robert Downey, Jr.) discovers and befriends him, leading to fulfilling Ayers' dream of performing at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Wright remained in the here and now for his next feature, "Hannah" (2011), although the action-thriller with dark, fantastical elements was yet another departure for the daring filmmaker. Reuniting the director with Saoirse Ronan from "Atonement," the film followed a young girl (Ronan) who, after being trained from birth by her rogue C.I.A. operative father (Eric Bana), flees from a shadowy agency officer (Cate Blanchett) intent on killing them both. A violent coming-of-age fairy tale of sorts, "Hannah" impressed the majority of critics and became a moderate hit for Wright. He returned to more familiar period literary trappings the following year with an ambitious adaptation of Tolstoy's classic novel "Anna Karenina" (2012). Starring frequent collaborator Knightley in the title role, Wright's take on the epic tale of 19th century czarist Russian life was simultaneously praised for its lush production values, cinematography and Knightley's performance, even as it was criticized for emphasizing gloss of substance.

|Protecting Families - Saving Lives
|Page 3
|Tribute To Dr. Lynch
|Creighton University- Hereditary Cancer Center
|All Pages
In late 2007, I was diagnosed with colon cancer, following many years of concern and fear the "family cancer" was hereditary. Until this last generation, family members died in middle age of Lynch cancers. In fact, through my own generation, every single person from three generations prior either sustained a cancer or died young from assumed Lynch syndrome, except for one. My own cancer was a late diagnosis as a result of skepticism and marginal medical care received from my physician. The result was a Stage III (c) metastases into the lymph nodes.
Until my diagnosis, there were no less than thirteen doctors and many opportunities for someone to take a detailed family history from members of my family and to refer individuals for genetic testing. It never occurred prior to the time I was diagnosed and as a result, one individual of our family died. The thirteen included general practitioners, urologists, gynecologists, gastroenterologists and oncologists.
During the course of care leading to the diagnosis and the treatment, I encountered many physicians and medical health care professionals who knew nothing of Lynch syndrome. I met many families who also had a "cancer thing going on" in their family and knew nothing of it. It was apparent, there was a disconnect with the information the researchers were putting out and the information medical treatment providers were taking in. As well, it was apparent physicians were not making the taking of a family history a priority---or---the institution with which they were involved did not wish them to make the taking of a family history a priority, for whatever reason.
I am very grateful for the diagnosis of Lynch syndrome. Had I not been diagnosed, most likely my daughter would never have been diagnosed as to this date and the cancers would have continued with their neverending cycle.
It can't be argued life was lost as a result of lack of taking a family history, lack of diagnosis, lack of surveillance and lack of treatment. Had my father had those opportunities, he may be alive today and had we known a diagnosis earlier, we could have been protected from metastasized cancers. Today, many lives are being lost in that manner and families are not protected.
Fortunately, in my situation, following diagnosis, I was blessed with the dream team which saved my life and cared for me during the 27 day hospitalization of treatment, the two months of recovery from serious anemia, the six months of chemotherapy, the recovery from prophylactic surgery and since. My physicians are as valuable and cherished by us as members of our family and we are eternally grateful to them. Thanks to them, I am alive today...and my family is protected. Our physicians keep us alive.
My story is no different than thousands of others, both with us and gone. It is heard repeatedly throughout the world and in most instances, when individuals are diagnosed with Lynch cancers, it is the result of a delayed diagnosis. It doesn't have to be that way...we have this wonderful, affordable technology that offers hope and can keep us alive and physicians aren't using it...allowing individuals to get cancers and to die. A misdiagnosis of someone with Lynch syndrome is a misdiagnosis of an entire family and entire families are getting "wiped out" with these cancers.
There is no need for any person who has health insurance and/or availability to health care, who knows their family history and who has Lynch syndrome, to be diagnosed with advanced stages of colon cancer, especially with genetic testing available and the existence of surveillance measures which can remove tumors before they become cancerous. In fact, a recent study has determined it is less costly to provide across the board testing and annual screenings, than it is to treat us when we have advanced cancers.
Changes needed to be made. Awareness and education of both the public and the medical profession is a necessity if we are going to protect families and save lives. There is a lot to be done and a considerable amount of need to effectively care for and treat individuals with Lynch syndrome. As soon as I recovered in mid 2009, Steve and I went to work on this matter.
In July of 2009, Lynch Syndrome International was formed through the dreams of members of our family, including my brother, Jim Snelling and his lovely wife, Rhonda and Selena Martinez, a passionate, devoted young woman whose family has been dramatically impacted by Lynch syndrome.
With the assistance of Sandi Pniauskas, of Toronto, Canada, we were able to connect with those who have spent their lifetimes protecting families and saving lives from Lynch cancers and develop an organizational schematic. With the help of survivor, Kate Murphy, existing cancer organizations became aware of the organization.
Today, we are fully operational with dozens of volunteers internationally, working together toward our common goals and we are working toward our mission. It has been an exciting sixteen months.
Lynch Syndrome International addresses the gap of information which has existed between practitioners and those conducting research, as well as provides assistance to those with Lynch syndrome. Prior to the formation of this organization, no such organization has ever existed.
Our future goals? We intend to personally contact every single general practitioner, gynecologist, urologist, internist,dermatologist, optometrist, pathologist, optometry specialist and gastroenterologist, in the United States, with information in respect to Lynch syndrome. Our goal to get this completed in three years and to have it completed internationally within the next twenty years. We intend to have representation at every Relay for Life in the United States and every conference and event which addresses Lynch cancers within the next ten years. We intend to have four major public awareness campaigns per year. We began this in March of 2010. In 2011, we intend to make those public awareness campaigns through print, radio and television stations. By 2012, we will have regular PSAs about Lynch syndrome on the air and by that date, we hope to have education in respect to Lynch syndrome and genetic disorders in every single classroom. The first three goals are currently being considered for sponsorship by major corporations. The others...we're working on them.
With the inspiration of the dogged perseverance of Dr. Lynch, Dr. Boland and the dozens of dedicated researchers and treatment professionals who have followed and contributed so very much so we can live (to include our own physicians), together, we will protect tens of thousands of families and save tens of thousands of lives.
We hope you will join us in this endeavor to protect families and save lives --
In the meantime, please, live well and stay well!
Steve and Linda Bruzzone
Founders 11/29/2010

I had used a Kelty pack with my first daughter 10 years ago. Now with my second daughter I tried again. This pack is AWESOME! It is the Cadillac of packs, comfortable, easy to use, light weight and the BEST ever! If you like to go to the mall, zoo, mountains. This is the pack to have. Thank You for a GREAT product!

This pack was amazing! I had been looking at this pack for a long time then actually won it on their facebook page. I took it out for a test hike the day I got it and could not be more happy. The most important part was it fit my kid perfectly and he was so secure I didn't have to worry about a thing. Secondly, it was comfortable for me. I am a small girl so carrying a child on my back up a mountain is no easy task. This pack felt great and had padding in all the right areas. It adjusts easily and was large enough to hold everything I needed. Finally, it came with the sun shade for my kid so he was still having fun and not completely miserable in the 100 degree weather. We have only taken it out 3 times but I can not imagine anything else that would make this pack better. Good job with a safe, yet comfortable, design Kelty!

The H2O pocket is a GREAT addition! The overall ease of use on the adjustment system is good. The pack carried great and I felt like my kid was REALLY safe in this carrier!

virtual serverA server, usually a Web server, that shares computer resources with other virtual servers. In this context, the virtual part simply means that it is not a dedicated server -- that is, the entire computer is not dedicated to running the server software.
Virtual Web servers are a very popular way of providing low-cost web hosting services. Instead of requiring a separate computer for each server, dozens of virtual servers can co-reside on the same computer. In most cases, performance is not affected and each web site behaves as if it is being served by a dedicated server. However, if too many virtual servers reside on the same computer, or if one virtual server starts hogging resources, Web pages will be delivered more slowly.

I tried these things out, but they were hard to put on and one of them started peeling off before I was even done getting them on my nails. I gave up halfway through the application process and decided to stick with regular old polish.
I like this product a lot - especially when I don't have a lot of time. Goes on easily and lasts along time. It's not that difficult to take off with nail polish remover either. I'd buy again.
These were hard to apply and didn't last. Plus, I knew even before I put them on I wouldn't like them-- the pattern I received was tacky looking. Still, even if I had liked it, it would have un-stuck before the day was over.
Sweet and short. Everything that would have made them convenient made them worse by lack of durability and ease of use.
I loved these so much!!!!! It does take a time or two to get down perfect nail application. However, when you do you get it down this is the way to go. They last for a good while depending on your activity. If you go digging through drawers the polish will chip. These strips are great for caring in your purse for an emergency or for a special night. Very cute designs that will make others ask you about your nails.Over all a great buy!!
My only issue with these appliques was finding the perfect sizes to fit my nails. But these were simple to apply & lasted for a while. Also, there is no dry time! I received Spring Vines - an awesome blue colored base with white swirl vine patterns.
I ordered a few and although these are cute designs they are sadly a lot of work for people with very small nail beds. I have been using them as just an accent nail so I don't have to deal with shaping them all at once.
LOVE this nails! So easy to apply and look professionally done in minutes. Stayed chip-free for over a week. A great manicure for over the holidays or any party!
This is the easiest and most elegant way to get what loks just like a salon manicure. NO dry time!! No smudging !! Lasts for 10-14 days. This is REAL polish Not stickers! Great product
These babies are awesome, they take a little longer to apply than regular nail polish would but they last SO long, no chipping or anything- TOTALLY WORTH IT!!

During this limited engagement exhibition, historical Chinese Bibles, Chinese Christian artifacts and museum-quality interpretive panels about the re-emergence and growth of Christianity in China will be on display at the Mount Vernon Square location of Wesley Theological Seminary. The exhibition testifies to the the daily life and spiritual life of Chinese Christians and seeks to deepen friendship and mutual understanding between American and Chinese Christians. More about the exhibition can be found at the exhibition's website.
Washington, D.C. has been selected as one of only four American cities to host a unique exhibit describing the history of the re-emergence and growth of Christianity in China. Wesley Theological Seminary, which has strong relationships with many Christian churches and schools for theological education throughout Asia, will serve as the host organization for the exhibition's visit to Washington, DC.
The National Committee of Three-Self Patriotic Movement of Protestant Churches in China (TSPM) and the China Christian Council (CCC), which are the two primary governing bodies of the Chinese Christian community, organized the exhibition. The Chinese Christian Council is the oversight body for all "registered" Protestant churches in China. They have jurisdiction over 8,000 churches and perhaps 55,000 "meeting points" across the Republic of China. The Council is responsible for the dissemination of Bibles and other educational materials and the training of both lay and clergy leadership. They, and their local councils, also help with issues between churches and the government.
The exhibition will be shown at Wesley @ Mt. Vernon Square, Wesley's downtown theological center across from the Washington Convention Center at 908 Massachusetts Avenue, NW. The exhibition will open on Wednesday, September 28 and continue through Sunday, October 2, 2011.
Bring your friends, parishioners, and colleagues in ministry to this extraordinary exhibition.
Wesley Theological Seminary, located in Washington, D.C., is one of the largest of the Mainline Protestant seminaries in the United States. The majority of Wesley Theological Seminary's students are candidates for the Master of Divinity degree, with ordained ministry as their vocational objective. Wesley also offers degrees in Master of Theological Studies, Master of Arts and Doctor of Ministry as well as lay education opportunities and continuing education opportunities for professional lay and ordained ministry.

The Notre Dame football program is a traditional powerhouse and has re-emerged in the past year under Brian Kelly.
Doug Randolph took notice and Wednesday the Woodberry Forest U.S. All-America Linebacker signed to play for the Fighting Irish.
"Oh man I don't know where to start," Randolph said on why he chose the Irish."The football facilities, the football history, culture, and then the academic side, the number one business school and the culture there and society. Everything seems really tight knit."
Randolph had originally committed to Stanford but flipped to Notre Dame last fall.
"It's been pretty crazy. Committed to Stanford, took a couple visits and then made the late decision (to attend Notre Dame)," Randolph explained.
His senior season with the Tigers was delayed due to a broken bone in his foot, but Randolph came back and is now ready to play for the Irish.
"This is everything I've been working for the last couple years and it's all come together and really hit home when I signed my name on that paper."

"Methoxetamine is a nightmare from Hell. It's trouble with a capital T. It's a problem waiting to happen."
That warning from Dr. Mike Cirigliano, unfortunately a little too late for one student at Spring-Ford High School.
Police say she's recovering after overdosing on a fairly new and for now, legal, synthetic drug called Methoxetamine.
"If one girl has it at school then it's likely others have it," explained Det. Matt Daywalt of the Limerick Township Police Dept. "With it being so cheap and little studies on it. There's concern teens may abuse it and harm themselves."
Spring-Ford senior Ronnie Chrisman schooled us on the designer drug's popularity. He says most teens at his high school know it as ATM, MXE, Mexxy or KMAX.
"It's something under the radar," explained Chrisman. When asked about people popping it in class he said, "Some people have been taking it in school. I've gotten questioned about it."
Though under the radar now, Chrisman admits the white, powdery drug that's chemically related to Ketamine or PCP is growing in popularity.
There's even a YouTube video giving a visual display of how it feels.
One 16-year-old Sring-Ford student who says she's tried Mexxy twice described the high she got: "It makes you happy! Honestly, it makes your mind not think of the bad stuff."
But doctors say bad stuff happens when you take this synthetic drug that's often times packaged like an exercise supplement or protein powder and easily found online.
"These drugs have serious, serious consequences." They can add toxicity to the brain, leave you unable to walk, to think. Hallucinations and suicidal thoughts are also a problem," explained Dr. Cirigliano.
Limerick Police don't believe Mexxy is a major problem for now. They suggest you talk to your kids and check their Internet browser history to make sure they're not making any purchases.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Many of the extremes in this report came from two sources. The first, "Climates of the World", is an NCDC publication that lists global average temperature and precipitation information for particular locations, with highlighted global extremes. The publication is available for purchase as an offline product (see NCDC Contact Information). The second publication is the updated "Weather and Climate Extremes" (TEC-0099) published by the US Army Corp of Engineers. The report lists global extremes for various climatological parameters and presents global map inserts as well. The publication can be purchased from the National Technical Information Service.

Beautiful pice of wood!! uniformly black and much thicker than I expected, I'm very happy with it. Thanks Stew Mac
Nice piece of wood! Perfect thickness for a replacement pick guard for my Epiphone Ultra-339. Had to dye the wood with black leather dye to get it truly black. I dyed it, let it dry, wiped it off, SANDED it again with 2500, repeated this process like four times. Still isn't as black as ebony used to be, but really cool, none the less.
Great consistancy, even color. I dyed two with the black "Fingerboard Stain" and left the others natural. Very pleased. Necks still in the rough
i don´t go 5 start just because it came a little crack i had to manange to get a fine job , and i live in the U.K no make sense send it back, duty and tax are very expensive, i just would like to say for you guys very carryfully when you pack stuff. I will buy some more stuff soon.
Bad puns aside, this is a well cut veneer and has consistent thickness. Useful for many small applications. The ebony does benefit from staining black if you want a consistent color, but most ebony does.
Bought this as donor wood for shimming an ebony fretboard extension, also using it to hand carve a truss rod cover. Have kept a bag of all my sawdust for fretboard chips as well. Got some mahogany for shims as well... good wood, some gets to shine on headstocks and look all pretty, mine has more utilitarian purpose :)
I had only purchased 2 Ebony ones and both were uniform in color and size. Works really well, will buy more!
I bought this for a peghead veneer, but ended up using to make a back cover for the guitar pictured, the company (not this one) I bought the body from send they would send a cover, well didn't happen, but I had this rosewood on hand and used it, made the guitar even more beautiful...good for other uses as well...beautiful wood. Many of the other parts are from Stew Mac on this build, too.
Its a good piece of wood. Good quality. The great thing was the fast service. Couldn't believe how fast it got here.
These veneers are great. Beautiful figure, and are extremely easy to work with. I highly recommend these.

Garden in the Koop Herb Garden Kit
- Summary
Starting an herb garden is simple with this seedling kit for six culinary favorites. The six-cell egg carton contains everything you need. Simply add water to the coir-fiber pods to create nutrient-rich starting mix, and use it to fill the egg-carton cells. Then sow your seeds, follow the growing instructions and watch them sprout. When the seedlings are ready to transplant, tear the carton into separate cells and insert them right into your garden soil, raised bed or planter. The paper will decompose and act as compost. Use your garden-fresh herbs in sauces, pestos, marinades and salad dressings and use to flavor grilled and roasted meats and seafood.
- Includes six packets of heirloom seed varieties carefully selected for flavor and hardiness: basil Genovese, chives, flat-leaf parsley, oregano, thyme and sweet marjoram.
- A great way for kids and novice gardeners to experience gardening from seed to table.
- Starter soil discs are made from coir (coconut husks), a renewable resource.
- Includes six wood plant markers for labeling your seedlings.
- Complete growing and transplanting instructions included.

I have a document created in Acrobat with no security settings in place and the usage rights enabled for reader. According to Adobe I should be able to use 10.1.3 to fill out the form and sign it.
I can fill out the feilds but it won't allow me to sign it. It is saying security settings are now allowing it.
Any help or suggestions?
Could you try saving the PDF from Acrobat using the File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
If the problem still persists, please post a screenshot of the error message received while attempting to sign the PDF via Adobe Reader 10.1.3?
Also, please provide the screenshot of the PDF Document properties.
I have tried the file>save as>....solution and I do not have the Reader Extended PDF option available. I am using Acrobat 8. What this a feature added to a later version?
I have acrobat standard 10.1.3 and reader 10.1.3.
In standard I save my documents with sign formular using File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
In the windows "enable usage rights in adobe reader" I don't have the feature "sign an existing signature field"
In reader I have extended menu but I can't sign because I can't select it.
How must I do in acrobat standard to have sign menu in reader ?
Hi kw1227,
Sorry. My bad. I was assuming that you have Acrobat X as well as Reader X. In Acrobat 8, you must be using the Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader.
What happens when you click on the Signature field? Do you get the same error about the security settings? Could you please provide the screenshot for the Document Properties dialog.
Hi franckym76,
Do you mean you are not getting the option for "Sign Document" option in the Extended panel in Reader 10.1.3? Or you are getting the option but it is disabled?
As asked above, could you please let me know the behavior seen when you click on the Signature field. Also, please provide a screenshot of the Document Properties dialog.
I just went to take a screen cap of the document properties and it is showing changing the document and document assembly and creation of template not allowed but signing is allowed but there is no security method in place
You should go to Extended pane in Reader to apply a digital signature to the Reader extended PDF.
Sign pane in Reader has some options disabled according to the document permissions, and is completely unrelated to Digital Signatures. The new Sign pane in Reader is an integration with Adobe EchoSign service in the sense that it enables an end user to fill-up documents, electronically sign and then send a PDF document, without having the need to print them. The Sign pane provides two options to the user:
1 - Fill and Sign: Here the user can place text using 'Add Text'. Users can add arbitrary text to a PDF, eg. in documents where Reader cannot interact with the document even though the document looks like a form, in forms where user cannot save the filled-up form. In such cases the only option a user has is to print the form, fill it and then fax or fedex the filled up document to the author or scan it and send it electronically. Using the Sign pane in Reader, a user can add text and also electronically sign the document (this is not the same as digital signature) using an image of their signature/create Typewritten signature/hand-draw signatures using mouse. With the 'Use an image' option, he can create a 'signature' from a scanned paper which has user's handwritten signature and place it on the PDF.
2 - Send for Signature: Here the user is sent to EchoSign for collecting signatures from others.
Hope that helps.
I insert a sign formular when I was in adobat standard
In this this video, it semms easy to use sign :http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-x/how-to-digitally-sign-a-document-w ith-adobe-reader/
But in reader it's disable why ?
Tell me what I need to sign in reader using adobat standard(is it available to digital sign not electronically sign).
Thanks for your help
You need to insert digital signature fields from Acrobat Professional (and not Acrobat Standard). If you check document properties (ctrl+D) in the PDF created from Acrobat Standard, you can see that Signing is not allowed (check in second tab labeled Security in Doc Properties dialog).
Save the PDF as Reader-Extended file from Acrobat Pro so that Reader users are able to sign it from Reader. For this, in Acrobat Pro, go to File->Save As->Reader Extended PDF->Enable Additional features and save. Now if you open this saved file in Reader, you should be able to sign it from the Extended pane.
Hope that helps!
It's not clear in the news you must use acrobat pro to do this !
OK thank you for you help !.
Hello I have same problem. Looking for days. This has got nothing to do the digital signatures!
I have a form. I have to fill partly in and send to PersonX via email who fills in the rest and signs off using echosign "sign" not apply ink signature in extended.
To keep my edits and not flatten I have to use submit form method on a button.
But adding button causes same error/warning as kw1227's yellow triangle. i.e. I canot sign.
Tried saving as enhanced. Signing is allowed on according to CTRL-D.
All very frustrating!
"Signing allowed" shown in document properties means you can apply a digital signature to the PDF.
Sign pane in Reader is unrelated to legacy Digital Signatures. This is an integration with Adobe EchoSign service in the sense that it enables an end user to fill-up documents, electronically sign (not "digitally" sign) and then send a PDF document, without having the need to print them. Some options are disabled in Sign pane according to the document permissions, eg. in Reader Extended documents (as in your case), files with digital signature fields, digitally signed PDFs, forms with Submit button (as in your case) etc.
Could you elaborate on exactly what are you trying to accomplish with Sign pane, so that I can suggest a workaround?
So sales person fills in some of form. Then clicks submit. This emails client who fills in the rest of form. I would like to use sign pane for them to place basic personal signature in a white box on form. Placing the signature locks the form. Client then sends back form.
Not sure I need or understand extended, as submit bottom works anyway. I just tried it hopeing submit and sign pane would work together.
We will be taking a serious look at echosign API later in year when we release our new sales platform. Letting 600 sales staff lose on echosign via unique logins to echosign site would be a disaster.
"Not sure I need or understand extended, as submit bottom works anyway. I just tried it hopeing submit and sign pane would work together"
OK now understand you need extended to submit a part filled form to client.
Is the sign pane being block intentially for force use of echosign portal?
I dont understand why I can not submit (via javascript button) a form and use the sign page at the same time. I just want the nicer signature the sign pane gives. Can not expect client to work through a digital signature.
Is there a javascript/add-ons that allows client to personally sign the form. Similar to sign pane i.e. type name and get a handwritten style.
As a quick solution I used Print to Adobe PDF from Acrobat X Pro. The resulting PDF is without such artifact.
