Enhanced capabilities provide unprecedented insight into SAP license usage to enable license re-harvesting, optimal user classification, and reduced license spend
Maidenhead, UK - September 25, 2012 Flexera Software, the leading provider of Application Usage Management solutions for application producers and enterprises, announced today a significant upgrade to its FlexNet Manager for SAP solution. The new release has been re-architected to provide unparalleled performance, agentless (no transports) usage collection, and user-defined optimisation rules. This permits SAP license managers to take command and make informed decisions based on real usage data.
FlexNet Manager for SAP is part of FlexNet Manager Suite for Enterprises and built upon the FlexNet Manager Platform, which delivers hardware and software asset management for enterprises across 11,000 publishers and 325,000 application SKUs. The Suite also includes Software License Optimisation solutions for Adobe, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Symantec, and 20,000 engineering applications - automating entitlement-based license management to reduce software license, maintenance and audit costs, while maintaining license compliance.
Enhanced Decision Support and Control for SAP License Managers
SAP licensing is based on user roles, such as professional, limited professional, developer, and employee self-service. Typically, these licenses are manually assigned by an SAP administrator without the benefit of an analysis showing actual usage data. Making a non-optimal license assignment - such as assigning to a user a professional license when, in fact, she needs a lesser license - can cost thousands of dollars more than necessary. Optimising an SAP license estate requires accurate insight into how each employee uses the system to ensure that the least expense license type is assigned to each user. Frequently the result of optimisation is the discovery that an organisation is "over-licensed," providing an opportunity for a reduction in future purchases (cost avoidance).
FlexNet Manger for SAP is the only solution capable of combining multiple license optimisation strategies to provide recommendations to SAP administrators, enabling them to achieve an optimised license position. These strategies include recommendations for the optimal license classification for each user, identification and removal of duplicate users, and identification of users that should be retired due to non-use. FlexNet Manager for SAP captures usage data from SAP systems and conducts automated, rule-based simulations that analyse employees' actual usage to determine the lowest cost SAP license type for each user. This latest release provides additional refinements to SAP license optimisation, such as the ability to create and simulate user defined rules through an intuitive rules editor. When administrators are satisfied with the optimised license position, they can then update the SAP system state, which will be reflected in the next SAP License Administration Workbench (LAW) report. These refinements also allow organisations to predict the cost impact of contemplated changes to the SAP license estate by performing simulations for "what-if," best case, and worst case licensing scenarios.
"The sophisticated analysis and reports provided by FlexNet Manager for SAP are unparalleled, empowering administrators to understand at a granular level how employees are using the system, along with key recommendations that, if implemented, can significantly reduce license spend," said Alan Swahn, Vice President of Product Management at Flexera Software. "By instituting those recommendations SAP administrators will eliminate excessive costs due to miscategorised users and unused licenses."
Increased Demand for SAP Software License Optimisation
Today's announcement comes at a time of considerable growth for SAP, and a time of opportunity for enterprises to save on SAP license spend. According to IDC, in 2011 SAP was the 4th largest packaged software company with software revenues exceeding $15 billion and the fastest growing of the big five vendors, with a 16.5% growth rate in 2011 over 2010[1].
"It's incredibly complicated to optimise software spend in order to ensure you only buy what you need, and use what you have," said Amy Konary, Research Vice President - Software Licensing and Provisioning at IDC. "SAP's licensing models are complex and not well understood by many enterprises. Without a system in place to track and analyse usage, it's nearly impossible to align your needs with optimal SAP license classifications and quantities. And without these insights, it's very difficult to negotiate a new purchase with SAP or respond to a software license audit."
"Without the analysis and insights provided by FlexNet Manager for SAP, it is very difficult for organisations to purchase licenses and negotiate with SAP based on their real requirements," said Swahn. "Our customers regularly reduce their SAP license spend anywhere from 5-35% once they are armed with this knowledge."
Unified Software License Optimisation for the Entire Software Estate
FlexNet Manager for SAP's new architecture also leverages the capabilities of FlexNet Manager Platform to deliver a next generation SAP Software License Optimisation solution. The Platform enables CIO's, CFO's and IT Asset Management leaders to centrally manage and optimise software spend across the entire software estate. The new release enables SAP shops to utilise FlexNet Manager Platform capabilities, including the license management dashboard, contract management module, and Cognos-based business intelligence, trend analysis, and reporting. Business users can access SAP license management reports through a web browser.
"The architectural changes to FlexNet Manager for SAP empower executives, finance and IT business managers to gain valuable insight and control over SAP software, optimise license spend based on actual usage, and access an executive dashboard that provides key usage and compliance reports," said Swahn. "No other solution delivers this level of information, transparency and control to business stakeholders."

Well as the title states I picked up a used e maxx at a garage sale. The lady said it didn't work, but she didnt know why. It didnt have any batteries in it so I'm hoping that was all that's wrong with it. My batteries are currently charging and I'll put them in tomorrow and test it, but my question is if for some reason it doesn't run, what's the most likely cause? I believe it still has the Titan 550 motors in it,
I have a spare one too. It looks fairly simple inside(meaning not much clutter), my losi jrx2 had more, but it was also from like the 80s or something. Anyway I'm excited to try it out. Any advice for me?

Got it to work at Miramar ,fl super target. It was a very ymmv thing. I found it on clearance at another target store for $41 , but I called the Miramar store and they told me that it was $17.98 . I asked the Cs rep in the midtown Miami if I went to the Miramar store returned and rebought the item, I would get the same price in there. She told me yes. So I went returned and I was denied since it was on clearance and it had to go back to the floor. I asked to speak with the manager on duty and he explained the policy. I said that I drove all the way over here since the Cs rep at midtown told me so. He made an exception and bought it for $17.98. So be polite and this might work, you just have to know where they item is on clearance. Miramar marked out of stock on the website.
my conclusion is that the only way is to come before they are closing on a weekday, return the item and come back next day as soon as they open to get the item.

Versace to be sold at H&M
The affordable and fabulous H&M has begun to collaborate with Donatella Versace bringing two parts of the collection to H&M. The first part of the collection will be available in stores on November 17 and the second part on January 19.
The collection will include womenswear, menswear, and for the very first time, items for the home. There will be 40 pieces of clothing for women with 20 accessories; 20 pieces of men's clothing with 10 accessories, and 4 home items.
Though the items in the collection will lean towards the more expensive side for H&M, the items are a steal compared to normal Versace prices. The price range will be from $20 to $400. The most expensive is a leather, studded trench coat. The dresses will be $129, silk tops $70, and leggings $30.
The collection will include many dresses from the styles that are in this season: studded leather, bright prints, and silk. H&M spokesperson, Jennifer Ward, called The Versace line, "Glam, flamboyant, and vibrant."
A release of the newest photographs of the line was debuted in Russian Vogue. Modeled by the gorgeous Abbey Lee Kershaw.
This collaboration of H&M and Versace was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. This agreement has taken more than a year. This will be the first time that Versace has ventured into the realm of affordable fashion.
Donatella only agreed to do the collaboration with H&M as long as the designs could be based on the glamour of Versace during the 1980s and 90s when Gianni Versace developed the designs before his tragic murder in Miami in 1997.
On the subject, Donatella said, "I wanted to do the iconic pieces of Versace, Versace through history until now. I wanted to show the young people what is Versace. I was expecting H&M to tell me, 'No, you can't do this,' but I gave them some sample, and they came back with something very similar. If you look very close you can see it's not the same, but three meters away you really get confused about which one is the original. "
So, fashionistas, grab your emergency clothing fund and wait anxiously for November 19! Be prepared because this collection will not be here for very long.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unforgetable characters,
Gareth Wilson - Falcata Times Blog "Falcata T... - See all my reviews
A fun frolic with three unforgettable characters, cat, mouse and dog who prove that an ordinary life, can be something special and that no matter what the argument, friendship is a bond that is far stronger than anger.
It's fun, the characters are memorable and as a modern fable it's beautiful. Great fun for any reader and a title that will be requested time and again by the young adult in your life especially when backed with the beautiful accompanying colourful artwork. Definitely an author to watch.

This review is from: Three By the Sea (Paperback)
My children, now aged 5 and 8, still love this book more than a year after first receiving it. It's a regular choice for bedtime and we've read it countless times. The illustrations are superb; full of details, like a recipe for "super-whiffy stilton fondue", that make the book fun to explore time and again.
5.0 out of 5 stars Genius!,
This review is from: Three By the Sea (Kindle Edition)
Another brilliant book by Mini Grey. Fantastic illustrations and dialogue with a thoughtful tale about friendship. This will appeal to children from 5 upwards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bonds of true friendship can never be broken permanently,
Before the stranger arrives, the story explains how peacefully the friends lived, how they all had their own roles in the household chores. Then the salesman appears. Personally the dog, cat and mouse are a little dense - who on earth lets a random stranger sleep in their house? (I do normally suspend my belief, but sometimes practical thoughts come into mind). I think that the salesman was very pushy, an outward personality who wouldn't take no for an answer. He doesn't work on disrupting the friendship immediately - naturally the animals would treat with him suspicion. So when the friends are tired, the evil stranger makes remark about what they all do - remarks which coupled with feeling uncomfortable from poor sleep sets the friends against each other. A near tragedy pulls them all together again, and they send the salesman packing. They learn there was nothing wrong in how they lived their lives, but they make small adjustments which keep everyone smiling. I feel there's a good message in this book, it shows that criticism is healthy for us and we can improve by heeding it and making small changes to our lives. The illustrations brought the story to live (and made me want cheese fondue!) The mouse is my favourite character. I would like the cat....but I have strong dislike for black cats stemming from nightmares about them.

Re: maturbating with porn
This is why porn isn't a good thing to rely on for masturbation. You get too used to it and then have trouble orgasming without it; leave it to your imagination and you won't be in a situation like this again.

Re: maturbating with porn
Well, I find that I must be turned on either way to orgasm. Sometimes I wanna jack off, but my body doesn't seem to want to, and it takes foreverrrrrr to do anything. Anyway, I suggest taking a short break if you aren't getting turned on as much as you need to without porn, then rely less on it to jack off.
Apr-23-2008 11:06 PM #9
Re: maturbating with porn
No, there isn't really any difference for me. Sure, porn is great to jack off too, but it's more like a bonus than a necesity.
Apr-23-2008 11:42 PM #10
Re: maturbating with porn
There was a stage when porn was the main thing I got off over, Id say I was around 16, but it passed. It never stopped me from masturbating though, it just resulted in a better session. Now days I'm kinda over porn, it all becomes the same and gets pretty boring - I actually find it more funny then anything else. I guess once you start getting the real thing and have sexual relationships you realise that your girlfriend is far better than a cheap video or image

No comparison: Newton says he and Kaepernick 'two different players'
Cam Newton doesn't like being compared to Colin Kaepernick.
"Two different players," Newton said.
Yet the Panthers' third-year quarterback certainly understands the parallels with his 49ers counterpart. They both entered the NFL in 2011. They're both big, strong-armed guys who can shred a secondary with their arms and terrorize a front seven with their feet.
"Being a big guy, being fast and being agile and having the art of throwing like only God has blessed a few people with -- and Kaepernick has it (too)," Newton said.
Newton and Kaepernick go head-to-head Sunday with a trip to the NFC championship game on the line.
It's their second meeting this season.
Carolina beat San Francisco 10-9 in a defensive struggle Nov. 10 at Candlestick Park, a game in which neither quarterback played particularly well.
Both are out to change that in the divisional playoffs.
"We didn't execute the way we should have and I didn't play well," Kaepernick said the first game, where he was limited to 91 yards passing and 16 yards rushing and sacked six times.
NEED SOME? GET SOMEFeed your NFL addiction! Come feast on all the news in our updating blog.
Newton and Kaepernick shared a room at the scouting combine in Indianapolis leading up the 2011 NFL draft.
Both were kept busy by the onslaught of interview requests from teams and barely had a chance to interact. A few months later, Newton was drafted first overall by the Panthers, while Kaepernick fell to the 49ers in the second round and was selected 36th overall.
Kaepernick was the first to get his team to the Super Bowl, leading the 49ers there last year in his first season as a starter before ultimately losing to the Baltimore Ravens.
Newton started right away in Carolina, but was just 13-19 in his first two seasons.
However, after a 1-3 start the Panthers have turned things around winning 11 of their last 12 games to capture the NFC South and secure a first-round bye.
Along the way, Newton threw a career-high 24 touchdown passes and was selected to the Pro Bowl ahead of Kaepernick.
But all of that means little to Newton.
"I feel as if I haven't achieved anything worth mentioning yet," Newton said.
NFL fans are a special breed, and they bring their own brand of craziness on game day.
In Newton's eyes there's only one goal at the end of this season: bringing home Carolina's first Super Bowl.
"Nothing is worth mentioning unless we have something that we can all share with each other for years and years to come," Newton said.
Coach Ron Rivera said Newton's maturity this season has been evident with his ability to handle pressure on and off the field.
"We're seeing a guy that has grown the last three seasons," Rivera said. "He's done a lot of good things. He's developed a lot of who he is in terms of our offense. He's also learned a lot of things in helping him cope and deal with the media and his public image. Those are the things you need to do as a football player."
Newton jokingly compared his growth over the past three seasons to getting a software update on a Smartphone.
He said all people need one eventually.
"When you go to the general settings and hit update, it just updates the whole software," Newton said. "When I hit software update, I just hit the install button. I don't hit cancel or remind me tomorrow. I hit install and hopefully that will take care of me."
Newton version 3.0 is doing just fine.
SIDELINE PRINCESSESThey're fit, they're pretty and we can't get enough of them. Check out the the 2013 NFL cheerleaders.
But he knows to get where he wants to go he has to get by Kaepernick and the 49ers.
"I'm not preparing for Colin Kaepernick," Newton said. "What he does on Sunday will not make any difference to me -- other than if he does score I will have to respond. And if I score he will have to respond."
Rivera said it should be a great matchup between two quarterbacks with similar qualities.
"People talk about this is the future of quarterbacking and yet you turn around and see Johnny Manziel is coming out," Rivera said. "So they're going to come in all shapes and sizes. Your quarterback, his skill set has got to fit what you do offensively.

Azaleas and Hardwood Mulch
I've read a BUNCH of things on the Internet where they warn against using hardwood mulch because it affects the acidity of the soil and causes issues of some sort for azaleas. But everyone in my area uses hardwood mulch and it's much cheaper since I'll need it by the truckload. I am not snooping around neighbors' yards to examine their azaleas, but their's seem to be doing fine with hardwood. Maybe our hardwood trees in this area are not as alkaline, but who knows?
What really would be the effect of lowering the acidity for azaleas? And, can I still use hardwood mulch and put something down to increase the acidity to offset the problem?
Thanks for your help!
First time posting by the way, so sorry for jumping right into a question.
The best mulch for rhododendrons and azaleas is conifer bark. It breaks down slowly and maintains soil acidity.
Mulch products have become big business and you do have to be really cautious about what you're getting. A great deal of the stuff sold as mulch consists of ground up and dyed construction and other debris. So called hardwood mulch is usually the by product of a manufacturing process and is treated in a similar way. Hardwoods contain a much higher percentage of cellulose in both the bark and sapwood (which probably is 90% or so of the total content). This means it breaks down much more quickly. This can cause nitrogen deficiency and pH problems although neither occurence is terribly likely when used as a mulch as opposed to a soil amendment.
Scientific studies have shown that the net effect of different mulches on the pH is negligible. There is a small temporary effect where most all conifer derived mulches do lower the pH slghtly.
When any wood rots, it robs the soil of nitrogen. But as aka mentioned, that is not a significant problem either with mulches. I have a friend and rhododendron hybridizer that uses sawdust from a maple spoon factory exclusively to mulch his rhododendrons. People come from across the country to visit his garden. To top it off, his garden is in what used to be a corn field on the top of a hill. It is fully exposed to wind and sun. His hybrids are, needless to say, very hardy. For rhodophiles, his name is John Doppel and his hybrids are available from W.W. Nursery in Indiana, PA.
I would say that the artillery fungus problem with hardwood mulches is much more severe than any pH problem. The artillery fungus can damage the paint on cars, houses, fences, and anything it gets stuck to.

Hosts Taiwan also progressed to the second round at the expense of South Korea, despite their 3-2 loss on Tuesday.
Taiwan joined the Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic second round Tuesday despite defeat to 2009 finalists South Korea, who suffered their earliest exit in the competition.
At a packed Taichung Intercontinental Baseball Stadium, the co-hosts went down 2-3 to South Korea, one of the tournament favourites, but still progressed top of Pool B courtesy of their superior scoring record.
Two-time defending champions Japan, who hosted Pool A and will hold the second round in Tokyo from Friday, are already through along with Cuba. Two teams from the Asian second round will contest the final series in San Francisco later this month.
Chinese boost
Apart from the qualifying teams, there was also jubilation for China, who shocked Brazil 5-2 to finish third in Pool A and guarantee their spot at the 2017 World Baseball Classic, a major boost for the sport in the huge country.
"It's just a great feeling," China manager John McLaren said, according to the tournament website.
"I congratulated the team, and I told them to go home and tell everybody in China what a great feeling it is to play baseball and spread the word," he added.
In Taichung, the points calculation equalled heartbreak for South Korea, who found themselves 0-2 down in the bottom of the eighth and needing eight runs to reach the second round for the third straight time.
Lee Dae-Ho hit a single for 1-2 and then Kang Jung-Ho added a two-run homer, but any hopes of an amazing revival faded out when Kang Min-Ho swung out.
Earlier, Ling Chih-sheng hit a single to get Yang Dai-kang back home to open the scoring in the third inning, while Kuo Yen-wen hit a double, followed by Yang Dai-kang's timely single to make it 2-0 in the fourth.
Tight contest
Pool B could barely have been tighter, with Taiwan, the Netherlands and South Korea all ending with identical 2-1 records. The Netherlands, packed with players from Dutch Antilles, beat Australia 4-1 to seal their progression.
Starting pitcher Robbie Cordemans kept the Australian batters quiet, while Jonathan Schoop belted a two-run home run.
"Robbie pitched a great game. Five innings and no runs," said Dutch head coach Hensley Meulens.
"That was the key to our win today."
Outfielder Roger Bernadina earned the first run by hitting a single to the centre field in the first inning, and the Netherlands stretched the lead to 4-0 in the bottom of the second.
Curt Smith led off with a single to the centre, followed by a single from Dashenko Ricardo before they advanced to the second and third bases on an error. Smith came back after Andrelton Simmons grounded out.
Then Schoop launched his two-run homer to the left. Australia pulled one back when infielder Brad Harman hit a single to the left to welcome Stefan Welch from the second base in the seventh inning.
In Fukuoka, China were trailing 0-2 in the bottom of the eighth inning, before they pulled one back on a walk with the three bases occupied. Fourth batter Ray Chang then stepped up and fired a two-run single to the left for a 3-2 lead.
"That eighth inning, we had a two-run lead," Brazil's head coach Barry Larkin said. "Should've been much more than a two-run lead. We obviously are disappointed in the result of the game.
"I think we could've done a better job of execution today. But certainly in the eighth inning we completely fell apart," he added.

|I have been waiting for this book for a long time, so the first thing I would like to do is thank Aya, the author's wife. In the acknowledgements the author thanks her for making him man up and finish the book. The second thing I would like to do is thank the author for listening. A project like this had to have been difficult to finish.
The wait was definitely worth it. This is an excellent compilation of rock solid architectural advice. Having it delivered in the format of patterns is icing on the cake.
The book is broken down into two parts. The first part introduces SOA and then covers the patterns. The second part discusses SOA in the real world. I have listed the chapters and the patterns they include below. At the end of each chapter there is also a Summary and Further reading section which I do not show below.
Part 1 SOA patterns
Chapter 1 Solving SOA pains with patterns
Defining software architecture
Service-oriented architecture
Solving SOA challenges with patterns
Chapter 2 Foundation structural patterns
Service Host pattern
Active Service pattern
Transactional Service pattern
Workflodize pattern
Edge Component pattern
Chapter 3 Patterns for performance, scalability, and availability
Decoupled Invocation pattern
Parallel Pipelines pattern
Gridable Service pattern
Service Instance pattern
Virtual Endpoint pattern
Service Watchdog pattern
Chapter 4 Security and manageability patterns
Secured Message pattern
Secured Infrastructure pattern
Service Firewall pattern
Identity Provider pattern
Service Monitor pattern
Chapter 5 Message exchange patterns
Request/Reply pattern
Request/Reaction pattern
Inversion of Communications pattern
Saga pattern
Chapter 6 Service consumer patterns
Reservation pattern
Composite Front End (Portal) pattern
Client/Server/Service pattern
Chapter 7 Service integration patterns
Service Bus pattern
Orchestration pattern
Aggregated Reporting pattern
Part 2 SOA in the real world
Chapter 8 Service antipatterns
Knot antipattern
Nanoservice antipattern
Transactional Integration antipattern
Same Old Way antipattern
Chapter 9 Putting it all together—a case study
Chapter 10 SOA vs. the world
REST vs. SOA
SOA and the cloud
SOA and big data
So what makes this book different from other SOA Pattern books? My take on that is that this one is written by a software architect who is writing to software architects. Yes the book is also appropriate for developers, CIOs, project managers, and testers, but it really speaks to the software architect.
The last section of every pattern description contains a quality attributes section. The author calls the patterns a solution and the quality attributes the requirements. Software architecture is all about the quality attributes. They are what help define the scenarios and the trade-offs that need to be made during architectural design. The quality attributes section maps the quality attribute to concrete attributes to a sample scenario. It really helps to highlight the architectural importance of the pattern.
If you have never read any of the author's published material, you should also take the time to check that out. His material on software architecture is great. He put together the SPAMMED architecture framework (SAF) which is a set activities that an architect can follow when they design an architecture. If you are not experienced with quality attributes, the author's SAF is a great place to start.
Another thing that I really like is that the author includes a technology mapping section with each pattern. Although an architecture can be designed out the specific technology in mind, I usually find that ignoring the technology often leads to an architecture design that isn't specific enough to actually be used.
It is also rare and unrealistic to think that you're going to be designing an architecture for an unknown technology. I always know what the environment is that I am going to be implementing in, at least that's been my experience. There may be several technologies used in the same environment, like the mobile environment that I am currently architecting. I do know the environment includes C#, Java, Objective-C, and ASP.NET MVC. I am therefore placing constraints on the architecture based on the fact that all these languages will be used for certain parts of it.
One of the coolest parts of the book is the appendix 'From quality attributes to patterns'. The appendix first gives a very nice overview of what quality attributes are. It continues with the section that explains how quality attributes are matched with patterns. There is then a very large table of quality attributes which are mapped to concrete attributes, sample scenarios, relevant pattern, and the chapter but you can be found it.
The author's writing style makes this book very easy to read. Each pattern is very well explained and the author makes great use of UML diagrams and other visualizations.
If you're going to purchase just one SOA patterns book, you should make it this one. Every software architect should have this book on their shelf.

"for this card, all I did was add our picture! The card is so beautiful I did not want to change it! The paper is durable and perfect. Everyone has loved our save the dates! They came in so quickly after ordering. Great product!"
"I brought this save the date and customized it. I was nervous about customizing it and not knowing how it would turn out in real life. But I loved that they sent me a digital proof before hand and when I wanted to change something to the digital proof they did it really fast and I barely had to wait. They also still allowed me to view the original proof which made it easier to see which ones I liked better. They came out looking just how I wanted them to. The paper quality is great and the print quality was great. I ordered just the plane matte paper and its high quality. So happy I went with weddingpaperdivas!!! Cant wait to order my invites through them as well!"
"I personalized these cards into navy with our wedding date, time, and place. The paper and envelopes are so thick and the thermography is so beautiful. They came in a stunning box and were all wrapped together. I would definitely 100% order from here again, and recommend to a friend. So glad I did this… I can't wait for all my family and friends to see how beautiful this work is!"
"I personalized my order with the wine color on the date and our names and used the one picture option. I am very pleased with the quality of the prints because I didn't want to pay extra for a glossed photo but the cardboard that it comes on automatically is matte yet beautiful! It's thick enough that it won't get crinkled in the mail and because it's not glossy.. No fingerprints! Aside from the order itself being flawless and arriving days before it's estimated delivery time, the service we received from Sarah Hawkins afterwards was appreciated! She hand wrote a letter to us thanking us for choosing her design. This is a wonderful company and these are one of the numerous options that I would strongly recommend!"
"There was a lot to love about this design. It gave me a very traditional style with the ability to have a photo. I opted for the white pearl shimmer, and it was completely worth it. The paper quality is fantastic, and even the silver envelopes were sturdy and shimmery. I asked that our wedding website be included, and the designer was very accommodating. I was expecting to get my invites within three weeks of placing the order, but I was pleased to receive them two and a half weeks early! I will definitely be returning for the rest of my wedding stationary."
