"The invitations and all the accompanying pieces were beautiful! We received many compliments saying the invitation was very classy. We loved the autumn colors, the heavy textured paper and the beautiful simple design. Along with the invitations, we were pleased with the reply postcards and the enclosure card. The matching programs were on the same textured paper. We loved it all! I would highly recommend this design and product."
"I customized this program with a custom color to match my wedding colors and chose an edge trim to make it really unique. They turned out perfect!"
"Loved these - great quality (especially the card stock) and design. Only complaint was a tiny tiny ink spotch on some of the last few cards in our pack, but we had ordered plenty of extras and I doubt our guests would have noticed."
"We are using several items from this design collection and I am extremely pleased with every piece I've received thus far! The quality of the paper and the printing is excellent, and the design itself is very elegant. We changed the font on the front for our names to something more blocked and standard because my fiancé has an 'III' at the end of his name and the font looked great! Highly recommended!"
"I ordered these, as well as the matching invitations and name cards. I love the design! I have gotten tons of compliments on my invitation. The simplicity of them is what makes them classy and stand out. I loved that there were no bows, ruffles, glitter, feathers ect. that everyone uses nowadays. These programs will compliment my outdoor fall ceremony perfectly. Good paper quality too. Definitely recommend!"

Lady Flames Upended on the Road at Virginia Tech
The Liberty lacrosse team wrapped up non-conference play on Wednesday afternoon with an 18-7 setback on the road against the Virginia Tech Hokies.
The Lady Flames drop their sixth consecutive game to fall to 1-9 on the season, heading into this weekend's Big South Conference games. Virginia Tech wins its second straight game to improve to 7-5 on the season.
Virginia Tech jumped out to an early 2-0 advantage in the contest's first 3:42 of play.
Liberty cut the lead in half at 2-1 with 24:26 showing on the game clock. Kallie Britton split a Hokies' double-team and raced toward the cage. Britton lofted a pass to Sam Struss right in front of the goal crease. Struss cradled the pass and whipped a shot into the bottom left corner of the cage.
Virginia Tech broke the game open with an eight goal-run, spanning 10:41. Megan Will and Meg Bartley each scored twice during the offensive spurt for the home team.
Britton ended the Hokies' run with an unassisted marker with 6:39 remaining in the opening stanza. The sophomore avoided the defensive pressure and fired her sixth goal of the season into the cage, trimming Virginia Tech's lead to eight, at 10-2.
The Hokies closed the half with two more goals from Will, extending their lead to 12-2 heading into the intermission. Will finished the opening frame with five goals to lead Virginia Tech.
Virginia Tech extended its advantage to 12 with a pair of goals to open the second half.
Morgan Becker tallied Liberty's third score of the contest with just under six minutes elapsed in the second stanza. The attacker went back and forth behind the cage several times before working herself free on the left side for her first goal of the game.
After Bartley notched her fourth and fifth markers of the game, Becker answered with her second tally of the contest. Becker's second goal of the game made the score 16-4 in favor of the Hokies with 14:28 remaining in the match.
Liberty scored three of the game's final five goals to close out the contest. Struss found the back of the net for the second time during the afternoon at the 11:05 mark. Nina Dunay notched the Lady Flames' sixth marker of the game off of an assist from Becker.
Becker capped her strong play by tallying her third goal and fourth points of the game, making the final score 18-7 in favor of Virginia Tech.
For the contest, the Hokies held the advantage in shots, 36-16, ground balls, 20-10, draw controls, 17-10, and caused turnovers, 10-1.
In addition to her three goals and one assist, Becker secured a game-high seven draw controls.
Bartley finished with a game-high six goals, while Will matched Bartley's six points with five goals and one assist. The Hokies' Meghan Macera scooped up a contest-best four ground balls, while Becca Niles caused three turnovers to lead both teams.
In goal, Liberty's Juliann Elmer played the majority of the game, tallying a career-high 11 saves. Meagh Graham and Hannah Sieger each played a half for the Hokies, with Graham notching one save and Seiger stopping five shots.
Liberty will take a one day break before jumping into Big South play on Friday at Campbell. The Lady Flames and the Camels will square off at 7 p.m.

Idiom/Cliche Before and AfterLanguage brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
The following phrases are disguised versions of the answer phrases. Each answer phrase is a pair of idioms or cliches which have been linked together. They have been linked together in that the last word of the "before" idiom/cliche is shared by (i.e. is the same as) the first word of the "after" idiom/cliche.
For example, the clue phrase "it equates to the present moment or at no time a period of boredom" could be used to disguise the two idioms:
"it's now or never" (the "before" idiom), and
"never a dull moment" (the "after" idiom) linked together by the common word "never" giving the answer phrase "it's now or never a dull moment".
Decipher each of the following clue phrases in order to determine the answer ("before and after") phrase:
1. confront the audible composition from the perspective of one's hearing organs
2. a flying creature in one's palm above this same applicable body part when it's clenched
3. a couple of craniums are superior to a single occurrence of the multiple rotations of the Earth upon its axis of which we are in the midst
4. within a very narrow margin of temporal duration takes to the air (while one is experiencing amusement)
5. preferably tardy as opposed to at no time articulate at no time
HintThe linking word (the word in common) joining each idiom/cliche pair is as follows:
1. music
2. hand
3. one
4. time
5. never
Answer1. face the music to one's ears
2. a bird in the hand over fist
3. two heads are better than one of these days
4. in the nick of time flies (when you're having fun)
5. better late than never say never

Mystery surrounds a woman found severely burnt and crying in bushland behind houses in Sydney's south west.
Monika Chetty, 39, was found with burns so terrible she couldn't be physically identified just metres from houses in West Hoxton on Friday evening.
As news of the horrific incident spread through Ferraro Crescent, residents reported seeing her limping up and down the street with bandages covering her head for weeks.
One resident, Gavin O'Brien, said he came home on Boxing Day to find her using his garden hose to wash her wounds.
When he tried to help her she covered her face and refused to talk to him.
''It looked like all the hair was burnt off ... she was quiet, very badly disfigured, very distressed,'' he said.
Police discovered Ms Chetty lying face down with burns to more than 80 per cent of her body about 7.20pm.
The resident who called police said he was on his balcony when he thought he saw a drunk man stumble up the street and into the bush.
Her burns were so bad that at the time he thought the person had heavily tattooed arms.
''She was walking and crying, like moaning,'' the resident, who asked not to be named said.
''She was wearing a beanie, singlet and tracksuit pants.''
Ms Chetty was still able to speak when police found her.
She told them a man she did not know threw chemicals at her in Bigge Park in Liverpool about a week ago.
But residents on the street said they had seen her walking early in the morning and late at night with bandages covering her face for several months.
Natalie Lorizzo said she often carried full rubbish bags and hung her clothing out on a fence separating the street and bush.
''She never spoke. She was just roaming up and down slowly with bandages all over her face. Some of the people in the street were scared of her,'' Ms Lorizzo said.
''She looked traumatised. Like she had been back from a war or something.''
Ms Chetty is believed to have slept on the porch and received food from at least one resident and stashed bags of clothing in the gardens of others.
Police are also searching for a green Commodore, with the NSW drivers plate XOF 897, that she is thought to have lived in for some time.
Green Valley commander Detective Superintendent James Johnson said Ms Chetty hadn't sought help for her burns and didn't want to be taken to hospital for treatment when she was found.
He said what had happened to her was one of the ''biggest mysteries'' he had dealt with in his 41-year career.
''I'm perplexed. You have serious injuries and you're not wanting to get attention. I can't understand it,'' he said.
Police searched Bigge Park yesterday and discovered a section of dead grass which may have been contaminated.
They cordoned the area and a grass sample was sent for analysis.
Ms Chetty was taken to Concord Hospital in a critical condition and was placed in an induced coma.
Superintendent Johnson said her kidneys had failed as she lost a large amount of fluid due to blistering.
Police worked to locate Ms Chetty's family on Saturday and have been in contact with her ex-husband.

These are just a few basic things you will need to ensure that you can use Python with CS and CEL.
1. First make sure you have Python installed
Python.org is a good place to get Python and find tutorials.
SWIG is a library which connects programs written in C/C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages. The CS/CEL python bindings use SWIG to generate the Python API. So you will need SWIG installed before you compile CS and CEL in order for them to create the python bindings. Tested versions of swig include 1.3.28, 1.3.29, 1.3.31. Anything above 1.3.33 may cause the bindings to crash during runtime.
If you needed to install SWIG and/or Python, you will need to reconfigure and recompile CS and CEL.
You should check you have the following:
* cs: * both .py and .so files at out/<platform>/<buildmode>/bindings/python/cspace/ (if you used swig)
* cel: * blpython.dll in cel root folder. * _blcelc.so in out/<platform>/<buildmode>/bindings/python/ (if you used swig) * blcelc.py in cel root folder or cel/scripts folder (depending if you used swig or not)
* CS: * .py files will be at scripts/python/frozen * .pyd files are in CS root folder.
* cel: * blcelc.py in scripts/ folder. * blpython.dll and _blcelc.pyd in cel root folder.
There are several apps you can run to test the python bindings are working correctly.
- For cs bindings: run pysimp from the crystalspace dir.
- For cel bindings: run start_smallgame.sh from the cel dir. Note for this the crystalspace python module (out/<platform>/<buildmode>/bindings/python/cspace/) must be in the pythonpath (setting PYTHONPATH to that dir should be enough at this point, or else just run "jam install_bindings").
Setting environment variables correctly
You should check that you have correctly set the CRYSTAL and CEL environment variables as explained in the manual, and then, you should check the python modules (the ones from the Check stage above) are in pythonpath. This is done by setting the PYTHONPATH environment variable to point to the dirs where these are located.
Note also that for statically built celstart, you'll also need to point to the zipfile so python can find the scripts
linux example "export PYTHONPATH=$CRYSTAL/out/<platform>/<buildmode>/bindings/python/:$CEL:$CEL/out/<platform>/<buildmode>/bindings/python" for linux).
windows example: set PYTHONPATH to E:\CS\scripts\python\frozen;E:\CS\;E:\cel;E:\cel\scripts
CS python bindings take too long to compile
This most likely means you're running out of ram compiling the bindings. You can try closing as many apps as possible before compiling, or getting a precompiled solution. This shouldnt happen on 1.3 onwards.
Problems linking on linux-ppc
Should be fixed from 1.3 onwards.
Errors compiling the bindings
Most probably your swig generated files are not up to date due to some recent api change. You can try getting swig and reconfiguring+recompiling, or wait and update to catch the next update of the files from the server (note this can take some hours).
Also, (Using windows and WinGW to compile) if the configure script can't find swig, make sure the PATH environment variable points to the directory in which it is installed.
crystalspace.application.celstart: Can't load behaviour layer 'blpython' with id 'cel.behaviourlayer.python'!
If all else is working (ie, pysimp, python tutorials, cel smallgame), then probably you need to set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to point to your CRYSTAL and CEL python plugin locations, and possibly also to the zip file with the world (ie, like said before, on windows: right click my computer, properties Advanced tab, Environment variables button).

for the last several days i have been noticing many of my domains suddenly have "safe mode" enabled.I have no idea how this is happening and tech support on my host does not understand it either.anybody have an idea as to why this may be happening?
Hi Tim,
This is normally due to a restored configuration backup - one that overwrites your 'safe-mode' settings. The person you spoke with at your host may not know about this. The other issue may be you have a virus or have been hacked. As you know 'safe mode' is a security threat nowadays so I'd be wary that someone did not hack your sites and is planning or is using safe mode as tool.
Can your host tell you what IPs have connected to the admin and server; furthermore, can they check if any SSH activity is showing in their firewall/security set-up, with specific emphasis on your sites?
I spoke with my host again yesterday, and they said that safe mode is enabled by default on all domins on their server, and that until now, it has never caused any problems.
Did you upgrade the PHP version you are using? If so, what was it before and then now?
I have not upgraded PHP. Im not sure what version it is (i know its above 5.0) and im not sure how to check that without submitting a support ticket to my host (my host is Managed Way, using the DirectAdmin CP)
It is worrisome to me that safe mode is enabled by your host. Having Safe mode means that your PHP is PHP 5.3 (it is depreciated in this version) or less as the feature has been removed in PHP 5.4. Please take the time to read this article by Ilia Alshanetsky on the subject as it should allow you to learn good questions to ask your host.
Did you recently add anything to your domains that does some sort of file access like caching for instance?
They need to investigate this. More than likely a staff member or a rollback was done to their global php.ini file.
This can cause many issues on many of the sites they host. I'm sure they should've picked it up by now.
The thing you need to do for your own websites is add a line in your .htaccess to change the value of PHP's Safe Mode to off across your website. DO NOT wait for the host to get their act together as this "smells" like a hack attack. THEN look for a competent host.

" Address: The Atrium / Camberley / Surrey / GU15 3GP "
If there's one thing you can say about Camberley it's that it's not short of "Indian" restaurants. I say Indian in quotes because, as we all know, Indian is used as a generic term: by far the majority of Indian restaurants are Bangladeshi owned. However, whether truly Indian or just Indian in style, another Indian restaurant in Camberley would seem to be a hard sell.
Despite this, it is also a fact that there are very few Indian restaurants in the town centre: most are in the Camberley districts or on the London Road (A30). So, for residents in town for a night out, either at the nightclubs or the cinema, the convenience of a nearby Indian restaurant would be a boon.
However, to choose to locate it in the newly-built Atrium might seem a little strange: the Atrium might already be termed a "Food Court", with only a bowling alley and the Vue cinema breaking into the monopoly of restaurants, which include Frankie & Benny's, Nando's, Wagamama, Prezzo, Bella Italia, Chiquitos and a Bar Estilo. And that's just on the ground floor, inside; just outside there's also a Zizzi and a Pizza Express. On the first floor there's a Real China.
The unit next to Real China, where Khari now exists, has been occupied by a couple of businesses since the Atrium opened, both of which have failed so Khari already had a challenge to meet. In it's favour, though, is that it is on this second level that you find the entrance to the Vue cinema so custom from those going to see a film and wanting to eat before or after should be anticipated; that seems to be where Real China enjoys a lot of its success.
In our house Friday night is curry night. I had ventured into town during the week and noticed that the long anticipated opening of Khari had actually happened. I had picked up one of their takeaway menus to see what was on offer. The choice looked different from your run-of-the-mill Indian so, on this particular Friday we decided that instead of having our curry in front of the TV we'd go and try out Khari to see what it actually had to offer.
Our first visit was just weeks after the opening and I was interested to see what sort of popularity they had managed to achieve in such a relatively short time; a not inconsiderable one it seemed. Whilst the place was only half-full when we arrived at 7.30pm, before the evening was out, all the tables were full, with vacated tables quickly refilled by new customers; a good sign.
We were offered a table right by the window so we could watch the world to-ing and fro-ing, either to Real China or to the Vue cinema, on the opening night of the new Bond film. The restaurant itself is spacious, has floor to ceiling windows looking out onto the concourse and has a very high ceiling. Indeed, it would have been entirely possible to have inserted a mezzanine floor to increase the number of tables available. As it is, the space does tend to reflect sound and so it can be a little noisy when full.
Whilst we consulted the menu, which was pretty much as the takeaway copy I had picked up, but with some extra items only available in the restaurant, we chose a bottle of wine, a Berri Estates Merlot at £16.50, a not unreasonable price compared with what we have paid at other establishments.
We chose the Platter for 2 as a starter to share: four chunks of chicken with two different dressings; sausage shaped kebabs, which were very spicy; and two different types of bhajis, with spinach and with onion. To go with this, two different dips: a traditional mint and yoghurt and what tasted like a tamarind dip. Very tasty indeed and good start to our meal: enough and not too filling. For our main courses my wife chose the Saag Lamb and I chose the Prawn and Scallop Moilee. We also selected a side dish of Vegetable Panchrattni and Lemon Rice to go with it all.
The whole meal was delicious and the wine we had chosen went with it particularly well. Throughout, the service was just as we like it: attentive but not intrusive. If there was one thing on which we might comment it is that the main course did take rather a long time to reach the table after we had finished our starter. However, it wasn't as if it was unacceptably long so we'll let it pass on this occasion.
The meal came to a very reasonable total of just over £60 for the two of us. Would we return? Most certainly, and we will take our grown-up children next time they visit: they are both great fans of Indian food, especially our son, who lives in Manchester and regularly eats out on the Curry Mile in Rusholme, and knows a thing or two about good curries.
I'm sure he will be impressed.

ONE person has been killed after a fire at a caravan park near Malvern, Worcestershire, in the early hours of this morning.
Fire engines from Ledbury and Upton, plus two crews from the Gloucestershire service, rushed to the scene at the Three Counties Park, Upper Pendock, after a call at 4.42am.
On arrival the crews were presented with a severe fire in a static caravan, and - breathing apparatus crews tackled the fire with hosereel jets and compressed foam.
One fatality has been confirmed following this incident and police and fire officers are working together at the scene to establish the cause of the fire.

TWO revellers were found in possession of drugs on Friday night while police searched pubs and clubs in the town.
The licensed premises checks with passive drugs dog Patch were carried out during a day of action by Wiltshire Police as part of Operation Harness.
Five-year-old Patch and his handler, PC Steve Duffy, spent six hours searching the pubs and clubs in Old Town and the town centre for illegal narcotics, with Patch sniffing out nine people who had possessed, encountered or been around controlled substances in the past week.
PC Steve Duffy said: "We don't seem to find as many as we used to. The most common ones are cannabis, crack cocaine and amphetamines.
"I don't know why the finds are lower, it may be just because habits are changing.
"What is a concern is legal highs, because all they need to do is change a chemical composition and it has a different smell."
Patch is trained to sniff out cannabis, crack cocaine, ecstasy or MDMA, heroin, ketamine, amphetamines and Meow Meow, also known as mephedrone.
The border collie/spaniel cross-breed's nose is so sensitive, he can sense whether someone has been around drugs, even if they were not the ones consuming them, up to a week later.
When Patch smells something in the air around a person he indicates by either sitting next to them, or following them until he is asked to stop.
PC Duffy said: "Cannabis is a particularly smelly drug and it stays around a long time, and he can smell if someone has been smoking it or been around people smoking it for two, three days, sometimes more."
Insp Adrian Burt of Wiltshire Police, who led the licensed premises checks in Swindon, was pleased that the numbers of finds were relatively low.
He said: "This is less than we would expect, and footfall was lower on Friday than we thought but less indications is good news.
"We do premises checks on a regular basis. If people consume too much alcohol, and/or take drugs, they become vulnerable, and sometimes can become aggressive."
Wiltshire Police work with landlords and licensees to help prevent crime.
Paul Mellor, chairman of Pubwatch, said: "It's part of what you expect in the industry. In Swindon it's not as bad as in other places but it is a problem every town has.
"We work with the police and we appreciate their help."
The premises check was part of a day of action under Operation Harness, which involves Wiltshire Police working with a variety of agencies including the council, housing associations and drugs services to clamp down on crime and disorder in local neighbourhoods.

WHILE champion sprinting mare Black Caviar is expected back at Peter Moody's Caulfield stables in early January, the trainer has also been given the task of rejuvenating a former Sydney mare for the Melbourne autumn carnival.
Moody said that Black Caviar was progressing well in her quest to add to her already imposing record and also confirmed that he had taken over the training of Karuta Queen after she was passed in a recent broodmare sale.
Formerly trained by Neville Layt, Karuta Queen has won six of her 15 starts and more than $1.7 million in prizemoney.
She was passed in at the Magic Millions broodmare sale earlier this year before high-profile owner-breeder John Singleton purchased a share in the lightly raced sprinter.
She has not raced since finishing down the track in listed company at Rosehill in March.
A knee problem was subsequently discovered and with that mended, connections are optimistic about her future.
Moody said that he hoped to have the mare contesting the major sprint races in the new year.
In other news, trainer Anthony Freedman is set to move back to Flemington after he took out a lease on stables at the track with the capacity for over 50 horses.
The vacancy follows the recent decision by Nathan Tinkler's Patinack Farm to cease its Melbourne training operation.
''The Freedman brothers first trained at Flemington in 1984, and the VRC is delighted to welcome the return of one of racing's most respected names,'' VRC chairman Michael Burn said yesterday.
''There is strong demand for facilities at Flemington and Anthony Freedman's racing stable was at the top of the waiting list.''
Freedman had formerly trained privately at a property on the Mornington Peninsula.
He said on Friday: ''I am really excited about the prospect of returning to Flemington, where we have enjoyed great success in the past.
''The facilities are world class. I look forward to moving in early January and starting a new phase in my career.''

From LinutopWiki
LAMP Image
This image is old and unmaintained. Don't use it!
You can get a LAMP image (Linux/Apache/MySql/PHP) designed for the linutop.
To install it from your Linutop, download the installation script, plug a new key (a 256Mo key should be enough but we recommand more space of course) and run it in a terminal:
bash lampbeta.sh
This will install the system on the second key.
We only provide a Beta version for now. This means that there are limitations (the installation script doesn't create a swap space for instance) and probably bugs.
The system is persistent by default (the standard Linutop OS is not), but still has a squashfs image as base. It is very minimal (english only, vim in a light version, no apache2 modules except the standard ones). It provides mainly
- apache 2
- php 5
- mysql 5
A few things to know:
- no dhcp tools are installed, you'll have to set up the network configuration manually (to get a fix IP)
- the root account is enabled, but has a blank password. Don't forget to set one.
- MySql root account has also a blank password, which makes the MySql init script to fail. Set a password to start the database server (running /etc/init.d/mysql will show you a message explaining how to do that)

After the last couple of storms, it is time to break out your winter hiking gear. Even though we had only rain in Idyllwild on Saturday, you can see a fresh, glistening blanket of winter snow on the peaks surrounding us.
That means any trail that heads into the high country will be covered in snow. Trails that have been walked on will have slippery compacted snow and ice to negotiate.
Last Wednesday, Les Walker and I drove to South Ridge Trail. We were the first vehicle to make it up to the top of the road where there was 3 to 4 inches of snow, which would mean much more snow on the trail as you head toward Tahquitz Peak.
I mention this because if there is snow on the southerly facing South Ridge Trail, than there will be snow on all the trails above Idyllwild. Snow means you need to take precautions to avoid slips, falls and hypothermia.
Last week, I mentioned MicroSpikes and YakTrax for your boots or shoes and in the current conditions they would both work well. As winter progresses you may need to upgrade to full glacier-style crampons with sharp steel points that are designed to walk on ice.
You will want to have heavier waterproof boots and a good pair of moisture-wicking hiking socks. I do have a friend who wears shorts in the winter when he is out patrolling for the U.S. Forest Service as a volunteer, but I don't recommend it. If you easily overheat when hiking, you can always wear zip-off, convertible style pants. But I would not recommend having only shorts.
Two of the 10 essentials for the winter (actually, a must year-round) are waterproof tops and bottoms and an emergency blanket in case you are injured and have to wait for help to arrive. I would also recommend a pack cover to waterproof your gear.
I also recommend trekking poles for the current conditions. As winter progresses, you may need to switch to an ice axe. Ice axes come in different lengths and the way to measure your size is to stand up straight and hold the ice axe by the head with the handle along your leg. The bottom of the axe should just touch the top of your boot. Ice axes usually run from 55 to 75 centimeters. For most men and women, 60-65 centimeter-long axes will do.
When the snow gets deeper, you will need waterproof gaiters and crampons or snowshoes for deep, soft snow. Once you start to sink in above your knees, snowshoes become essential for traveling in the high country — particularly if you are headed to San Jacinto Peak or any of the higher peaks.
One other item that can come in handy for winter hiking is a chemical warmer. Warmers for your shoes and ones for your pockets to keep your hands warm are available. When you are walking long distances over snow-covered trails, a set of foot warmers can make all the difference, especially when you don't want to spring for expensive, insulated mountaineering boots.

Did you know?
The present Ndebele king, Makhoswonke ll, is one of South Africa's six undisputed monarchs.
You may well have seen pictures of the brightly painted homesteads and colourful crafts of Mpumalanga's Ndebele villages in magazines all over the world. When you visit a Ndebele village you'll see for yourself the vibrantly coloured geometric designs of their dwellings and dramatic traditional clothing.
The little town of Siyabuswa in Mpumalanga's cultural heartland is home to the Kghodwana Cultural Village where you can follow the progress of the Ndebele from 1 000 years ago to today. The people in this region are linguistically related to KwaZulu-Natal's Zulu tribe and the Ndebele of Zimbabwe.
Take a tour of the village, shop for stunning crafts such as bracelets, necklaces, mats woven of dry grass and beadwork-adorned gala blankets, visit one of the Royal Kraals and admire the heavy brass rings worn by married women around ankles and necks to display their wealth.
It's the Ndebele women who traditionally paint the vivid geometric designs of the homesteads, based on triangular and rectangular shapes. Skills are passed from mother to daughter and the shapes used are often inspired by their intricately fashioned beadwork.
Another Ndebele village well worth a visit is situated at the beautifully restored Botshabelo Mission Station where early South African Christians sought refuge and found education training from the mid-1800s. This Ndebele village is an open-air living museum of vibrant colour.
Admire the artwork of the huts, the glowing murals on internationally acclaimed Ndebele artist Esther Mahlangu's family homestead, the beaded aprons of the little girls, the glowing colours of blankets and beadwork, and chat to the married women about their spectacular clothing.
Thirsty after all this sight-seeing? Then pop over to the Loopspruit Wine Estate – South Africa's northernmost vineyards – just across the road from the village.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading medical experts in the fields of imaging, neurology and dementia came together today to present evidence supporting the clinical utility of beta-amyloid imaging agents, such as Amyvid (Florbetapir F 18 Injection), during a public hearing held by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), known as a Medicare Evidence Development & Coverage Advisory Committee (MEDCAC) meeting.
The CMS panel voted "low to intermediate confidence" in response to whether there is adequate evidence available to determine whether or not positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of brain beta-amyloid changes health outcomes (improved, equivalent or worsened) in patients who display early symptoms or signs of cognitive dysfunction. Additionally, the panel voted "high confidence" that these conclusions are generalizable to the Medicare beneficiary population. The MEDCAC vote may impact future Medicare coverage decisions for beta-amyloid imaging agents.
Amyvid is indicated for PET imaging of the brain to estimate beta-amyloid plaque density in adult patients with cognitive impairment who are being evaluated for Alzheimer's Disease and other causes of cognitive decline. Amyvid is an adjunct to other diagnostic evaluations. Amyvid for intravenous use is a radioactive diagnostic agent that is supplied in 10 mL, 30 mL, or 50 mL multidose vials containing 500-1900 MBq/mL Florbetapir F 18.1
"The overwhelmingly positive testimony presented by the medical experts around the clinical utility of beta-amyloid imaging agents reinforces that these tools should be a Medicare covered benefit for patients with cognitive impairment being evaluated for Alzheimer's Disease and other causes of cognitive decline," said Wei-Li Shao, senior director, Alzheimer's Business Division, Eli Lilly and Company. "When making a final coverage decision, we encourage the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to heavily consider the real-world medical experience presented today, and the appropriate use criteria recently released by the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging and the Alzheimer's Association supporting the use of these imaging agents."
The new guidelines state that amyloid imaging could potentially be helpful in the diagnosis of people with cognitive impairment when considered along with other clinical information, and when performed according to standardized protocols by trained staff. The guidelines also indicate that, although published data is extremely limited, amyloid PET is likely to contribute to better patient care under specific circumstances.2
The panel voted on two questions, giving a score from one to five one being low confidence, five being high confidence. The questions focused on whether there is adequate evidence to determine if PET imaging of brain beta-amyloid changes health outcomes in patients who display early symptoms or signs of cognitive dysfunction, and if the evidence can be generalized to the Medicare beneficiary population.
"These diagnostic imaging agents allow physicians to determine for the first time whether living patients have beta-amyloid plaques in their brain," said Mark Mintun, M.D., chief medical officer, Avid Radiopharmaceuticals, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Lilly. "This information may impact how physicians ultimately treat their patients by helping inform diagnostic decisions. However, patient outcomes are largely due to the physician's ability to make an accurate diagnosis and recommend an appropriate treatment plan."
About Alzheimer's Disease By 2030, the total number of Americans aged 65 and over with Alzheimer's Disease is expected to reach 7.7 million.3 In response to this mounting national health threat, the National Alzheimer's Project Act has brought about renewed urgency and focus on developing new and innovative ways to diagnose, support and treat patients suffering from Alzheimer's Disease.4
Alzheimer's Disease is one of many possible causes of cognitive impairment, which can make diagnosis challenging. Alzheimer's Disease and other causes of cognitive impairment share many overlapping symptoms, including deficiencies in memory, visuospatial ability, executive function, behavior and language.5,6 Furthermore, it is estimated that up to one in five patients clinically diagnosed with probable Alzheimer's Disease during life and do not exhibit Alzheimer's Disease pathology upon autopsy.7,8
About Amyvid1 Amyvid is a radioactive diagnostic agent that is injected into the bloodstream, where it crosses the blood-brain barrier and selectively binds to amyloid plaques. The fluorine 18 (F 18) isotope produces a positron signal, which is detected by a PET scanner. Physicians who read Amyvid PET scans should complete a comprehensive training program available through live events or online at AmyvidTraining.com.
Indications and Usage1 Amyvid is indicated for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging of the brain to estimate beta-amyloid neuritic plaque density in adult patients with cognitive impairment who are being evaluated for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and other causes of cognitive decline.
A negative Amyvid scan indicates sparse to no neuritic plaques and is inconsistent with a neuropathological diagnosis of AD at the time of image acquisition; a negative scan result reduces the likelihood that a patient's cognitive impairment is due to AD. A positive Amyvid scan indicates moderate to frequent amyloid neuritic plaques; neuropathological examination has shown this amount of amyloid neuritic plaque is present in patients with AD, but may also be present in patients with other types of neurologic conditions as well as older people with normal cognition. Amyvid is an adjunct to other diagnostic evaluations.
Limitations of Use:
A positive Amyvid scan does not establish a diagnosis of AD or other cognitive disorder. Additionally, the safety and effectiveness of Amyvid have not been established for predicting development of dementia or other neurologic condition, or monitoring responses to therapies.

WEPL Bristol & Somerset
Chew Magna 186 beat Wembdon 61 by 125 runs
IAN Blackwell was unable to inspire Wembdon to a second victory of the season, as they slumped to a disappointing 125-run defeat at the hands of Chew Magna on Saturday.
Blackwell took 1-31 from ten overs to help bowl Chew Magna out for 186, but only managed a couple with the bat as Wembdon slumped to 61 all out inside 23 overs.
Wembdon won the toss and opted to bowl first and Brendan Pope was once again superb, starting with 29 consecutive dot balls to finish with figures of 3-17 from ten overs.
Chew Magna struggled to score quickly but they were patient and occupied the crease well.
Stuart Watson made a chanceless 102 and batted for the majority of the innings, while only two other team mates reached double figures.
Wembdon bowled well with Blackwell extracting outrageous turn and bounce on debut, wasted on the Chew batters.
Jon Brockwell picked up 3-26 in the latter overs in a crucial spell which finished with Chew being all dismissed for 186.
Wembdon were confident the total was gettable in a fixture they need to be and should be winning.
What happened next was their worst nightmare.
Things got off to a poor start as Gower fell to the first ball of the innings – Puddy and Brockwell followed shortly after to leave Wembdon 4-3.
Blackwell and Pope looked to stem the flow of wickets, but Blackwell went to a stunning caught and bowled as Wembdon slipped deeper into trouble.
Bingham and Phillips came together at 14-5 and started to play themselves in and add a few runs.
Phillips was harshly adjudged LBW after a 30 minute vigil at the crease.
His wicket was followed by Eckley who would be the fourth of five ducks on Saturday.
Trunks went first then Bingham was trapped LBW after an hour at the crease.
From 56-8 Wembdon were put out of their misery in the 23rd over.
Next weekend, Wembdon travel to high flying Taunton, 1pm start.

Caron Cadle: Unfinished business

Now that the campaign season is over, we finally get a break from all those awful ads.
Most people know those ads and the huge sums of money that paid for them were unleashed by the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, which allows corporations and super-rich individuals to try and buy elections while hiding their identities.
This time the voters saw through most of the lies they spread using nearly $1 billion, but the way they throw their money around is absurdly unfair ... and obnoxious.
However, the American public is now more than one quarter of the way to amending the U.S. Constitution to undo the Citizens United mistake. We need 38 states and two-thirds of the U.S. Senate and House to pass this amendment. Twenty-four senators and 75 representatives have already signed on, and 11 states have endorsed the idea that corporations are not really people and money does not equal speech.
The most recent states to get on board are Montana and Colorado, where on Election Day voters statewide supported overturning Citizens United by a 3 to 1 margin.
I know this country can reunite and do what has to be done when a very red state and a swing state are in complete agreement about stopping unaccountable outside groups and individuals from trying to buy elections. The vast majority of us, whatever our political views, don't want unlimited campaign spending and endless smear ads.
Let's put Florida on the list of states that are for the amendment, and convince our representatives and senators to support it too!

HOUSTON - Colorful floats, trail riders, city officials and marching bands filled Houston's downtown streets Saturday for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Parade.
A record-breaking 15,000 cowboys and cowgirls hit the ground running to kick off the festivities in the ConocoPhillips Rodeo run. As a result, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo education fund will receive a record high $400,000.
As the runners crossed the finish line, the parade began.
Marching bands, dancers, elaborate floats, and Texas royalty all made their way down the city streets surround by an ecstatic crowd.
First time Grand Marshalls Andre Johnson and JJ Watt from the Houston Texans said the experience was more than they could have imagined.
"This is a big deal in Texas, so I'm truly honored." Johnson said.
As the parade came to an end, fans looked forward to the excitement still to come at the 2012 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

Hi there,
In my public_html folder I have the following .htacces file:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} site1.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/site1
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ site1/$1 [L]

I also have a cron job running the following command:
/usr/bin/php5 /home/sites/[i]{domain-name}[/i]/public_html/site2/backup_db.php
If I disable the .htaccess file, the cron job will execute, otherwise it wont. I'm not really sure why this is happening, since the cron job is using an absolute path to a file on the server, and not making any requests through the server. Isn't it?
Has anyone come up with this sort of thing before?
Many thanks
Cron should not connect via the website, no, but maybe your PHP script is?
Rémon is correct about Adobe not running the CRON request.
I believe you have an error in your CRON code:
/usr/bin/php5 /home/sites/{domain-name}/public_html/site2/backup_db.php
I have a CRON job running using
/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/{account_name}/public_html/{php_script_name}
Given that it's been working for me for over two years (on three accounts), I would recommend that you check your PHP executable location AND add the -q switch before the PHP filename that you want CRON to execute.
NOTE 1: I cannot find the meaning of the -q switch so it may not be necessary -- just something to try if all else fails.
NOTE 2: DreamHost's example is /usr/local/php5/bin/php /home/<USER NAME>/path/to/script.php, i.e., the php executable is in the binary directory of the php5 but does NOT use the -q switch.
Can you give us some background about what you script does? We don't necessarily need to see the code, but I think ScallioXTX is on the right track here. I'd bet that your script is trying to connect to your website over HTTP and the cron job is interfering with that part of the script.
Boy, that became a difficult challenge and I'm not even sure I found the proper meaning in the way you used it. What I found states it suppressed html output in older cgi versions. In PHP 5.2 the -q was deprecated.
From: http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php (first comment)
i use emacs in c-mode for editing. in 4.3, starting a cli script like so:
told emacs to drop into c-mode automatically when i loaded the file for editing. the '-q' flag didn't actually do anything (in the older cgi versions, it suppressed html output when the script was run) but it caused the commented mode line to be ignored by php.
in 5.2, '-q' has apparently been deprecated. replace it with '--' to achieve the 4.3 invocation-with-emacs-mode-line behavior:
don't go back to your 4.3 system and replace '-q' with '--'; it seems to cause php to hang waiting on STDIN...
Thanks for that info. I was checking Apache.org for details on that (should have been a Linux website, I know ) and found nothing. Other website examples used the -q but gave no definition of that switch.
I hope Micky gave it a try both with and without and will report back here with results.
BTW, (belated) congrats on becoming a TL! Well deserved.
Not a problem, I had never seen that switch option before, so I was curious as to what it could possibly mean myself (and it was a challenge to find what little info about it I did find).

The fight against reductions in military retired pay is over — and retirees have emerged victorious.
The Senate voted resoundingly Wednesday to repeal the planned reductions to annual cost-of-living adjustments, or COLAs, in military retirement pay, approving a bill passed Tuesday by the House that will offset the roughly $6 billion the COLA caps would have saved by extending automatic cuts to Medicare funding by one year.
The Senate vote was 95-3.
The measure now goes to President Obama for his signature.
The outlook for repealing the COLA caps had been murky because of differences over how to offset the cost. Many senators had wanted to repeal the cuts with no offset, which most Republicans would not support.
Speaking to talk show radio host Hugh Hewitt before the vote, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., described it as a "big win" for the country.
"There is a time when the two [political parties] in America come together. ... Democrats found it hard to explain why you wouldn't want to pay for this change, because it's only $6 billion over 10 years. Republicans found it hard to suggest this was fair. The two sides came together," Graham said.
Not everyone agreed. Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., a lawmaker known for fiscal conservatism and one of the three who voted "no," expressed disappointment that his colleagues would even consider repealing the COLA caps.
"How do we convey the seriousness of the budget crisis when, at the first sign of political pressure, we undo a portion of the bill that we passed less than two months ago?" Flake said.
Under the legislation, military retirees and currently serving troops will receive full cost-of-living adjustments on their retirement pay as approved by Congress each year.
The Bipartisan Budget Act, signed into law on Dec. 26, would have reduced annual COLA increases for current retirees and troops by 1 percentage point for all "working age" retirees under 62, starting in late 2015.
While that is no longer the case for currently serving troops and retirees, anyone who enlists or receives a commission as of Jan. 1, 2014, will be subject to the COLA caps if they serve in uniform long enough to qualify for retirement benefits.
Earlier this week, House Republicans had considered tying the COLA cap repeal to broader legislation to suspend the federal debt ceiling. But that plan was abandoned and instead, Republican leaders attached COLA repeal as a rider to an unrelated bill that had already been approved by the Senate.
The measure passed the House by a vote of 326-90.
Those who supported the legislation, including Rep. Julia Brownley, D-Calif., said it undoes changes that should "never have been in the bipartisan budget bill in the first place."
"As a member of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, I immediately introduced legislation to reverse it because we made a sacred promise to our service members," Brownley said.
"It is imperative that we keep our promise to the members of the armed services who have sacrificed so much for our country," said Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla. "Military retirees have bravely served and made enormous personal sacrifices. Our country promised these retirement pensions to military retirees. I am pleased to see that Congress is able to honor that commitment."
But the legislation drew criticism from Democrats for its proposal to pay for the lost savings — the extension of sequestration cuts to Medicare to 2024 — while many Republicans who voted against it said they could not support unraveling a budget agreement during tight fiscal times.
Rep. Ben Ray Lujan, D-N.M., who co-sponsored separate legislation that would have paid for repeal by closing tax loopholes for offshore companies, said the offset that was approved "pits seniors against military retirees."
"I support action to restore the full [COLA] for military retirees who have spent a career serving their country, but it's disappointing that House Republicans offered a bill that cut Medicare to pay for it," Luján said. "We need a solution that does not pick winners and losers between military retirees and our nation's seniors."
Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., architect of the budget agreement, said the COLA repeal undermines the Bipartisan Budget Act and "puts troops at risk" because it undoes needed cuts to military compensation that would provide more funding for equipment, weapons and training.
"Our military leaders — and the math — have been clear. Compensation costs are hollowing out the Pentagon's budget. They are taking resources away from training and modernization — and putting our troops at risk," Ryan said.
He added that the budget agreement purposely delayed the change by two years so the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission that is currently studying the entire array of military compensation programs could make recommendations for reform.
"I'm open to replacing this reform with a better alternative. But I cannot support kicking the can down the road," Ryan said.
The Senate had been poised to consider its own legislation to repeal the COLA caps, a provision drafted by Sens. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., and Kay Hagan, D-N.C., that cleared a key procedural hurdle Monday, but included no proposal for offsetting the $6 billion in lost savings.
The situation was a hard-fought battle for military and veterans' organizations as well as active-duty troops, retirees and family members who launched a grassroots effort to undo the COLA caps.
"The Veterans of Foreign Wars ... thanks all our supporters in the House and Senate for taking quick action to repeal the penalty on working-age military retirees," said VFW Commander William Thien.
But Thien noted the fact that the new legislation does not remove the penalty on future retirees who enter the military after Jan. 1. "It is in that regard the VFW will continue to fight for a full repeal," he said.
The head of the largest veterans' service organization, the American Legion, also said Wednesday he has "mixed feelings" about the vote because the reduced COLA still affects future retirees.
"This action still falls short of reversing the COLA cut," said Daniel Dellinger, the Legion's national commander. "Again, as in targeting the Department of Defense for sequestration, this legislation places the responsibility for correcting a financial catastrophe — that is, the unruly national debt — almost solely on our service members."
The other two senators who voted against the repeal legislation were Sens. Tom Carper, D-Del., and Dan Coates, R-Ind.
A previous version of this story listed Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., as having voted no. Corker voted yes.

text: IcedCrow 267 Report post Posted July 11, 2013 G'day everyone. I'm working a space simulator project and one of the challenges I am facing is a proper starfield. I've done some research but have not come up with any conclusive answer so thought I'd post a new topic. Some information on what I've gleaned and some options that I'm considering: * this is my first 3d title so I am still learning how to work with the environment. I am used to 2d development. * the game is inspired by the old xwing series. The camera will either be situated in the cockpit of a ship or be situated behind the ship as it travels. * the camera will therefore have full rotation, yaw, and pitch functionality as the object moves through 3d space * the starfield that it sits over must appear to move to give the illusion of movement. therefore if i pitch up, the starfield should adjust accordingly and if I pitch back down I'd expect the starfield to adjust back to where it started from. * the starfield will have some other objects besides stars such as nebulae and clouds Some ideas that I am considering that I'm not 100% sold on yet * a skybox with starfield texture. - pros: easy to implement. cons: edging * a skysphere with a starfield texture - pros: no edging issues. cons: more resources * a particle system for stars - pros: fairly easy to create in code cons: moving it around for me, and the appearance is kind of dated but that could be just my limited shader experience Ideas and input appreciated on the best way to implement this. I'd love something like from EVE but I am not sure how they accomplish their backdrops. They appear to me to be a skybox of super detailed textures with star particles over them. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome back to Mets Chat Room.
First of all, thanks for last night. We had a record number of comments, which is great. Please know I try as best as I can to keep up with them.
A lot going on today. Orlando Hernandez is down for at least 10 days, which probably answers the question about the playoff rotation. … Carlos Delgado took live BP. … The players had a team meeting. No fire and brimstone. The tone is, "we're the ones being chased, so let's play like it."
John Maine goes tonight. He's another being tested. Talk with you throughout the game.

Thanks ,some off use did not know about the PURPLE PAINT! Thanks for info
I have biked several times in the US and never really done any wild camping, all because of the fear of meeting an angry redneck/farmer with a shotgun in the middle of the night with a couple of aggressive dogs. Everywhere you see the "No trespassing - Violators will be prosecuted" notes on tree trunks etc. Thus, I have been very cautious and reluctant in that matter. Maybe it is just an overreaction? Maybe I have seen too many movies? .
If you're not from the US, I'll add that purple paint is equivalent to "no trespassing" signs in some states. If they've painted fence posts, trees, rocks ...etc with purple paint, it will hold up in court the same as if they put 'no trespassing' signs up.
Not trying to be a stick in the mud, but thought you might want to know.
Is started in Missouri
I did a quick google search. It looks like they have it in Illinois, Texas, and Florida. I can also tell you that it's customary in Kansas.

Topic: Dad just diagnosed, feel like i'm having a nightmare
As stated above, my dad was just diagnosed this week and our family feels like we are in a nightmare that we can't wake up from. It all began about 3 months ago when my very healthy, active 74 year old father got this pain in the right shoulder blade. He went to Dr. who diagnosed Shingles. He was put on shingle meds and anti-inflamatories and sent home. We thought it odd that he didn't have tell tale rash but were told sometimes shingles is like that. He also did receive the shingles shot years ago so were surprised at this diagnoses. Anyway the pain seemed to be getting worse and earlier this month he started thinking that maybe it was a pinched nerve as the pain started radiating down his arm. He is a retired dentist and has arthritis in his neck...occupational hazzard. He went back to Dr. and they did an x-ray of the area of pain. x-ray showed weird looking mass so they decided to do an MRI to get a better look. MRI showed definite mass and decided to do bone scan. Bone scan revealed tumor and here begins our nightmare... We are fortunate to have doctor friends and radiologists who expedited all these tests as we were able to get these results all in a matter of one week. Meantime my dads pain became relentless to the point of taking him to ER Saturday before last. They hooked him up to iv game him morphine for pain and after doing more cts, and pets discovered that he has very small nodules (metasticies) in both lungs, the tumor on his T-1 which is pressing on the nerve causing all the pain and lesions around his bile ducts. He was admitted to hospital and underwent endoscopy last Tuesday where they were able to get good lab swabs as well as insert 2 plastic stents. He came home Wednesday still in pain but on lots of meds but for 2 nights had terrible shakes and would wake up freezing and shaking. Friday morning my mom called me frantic that dad could not stop shaking and his temperature was up to 102. Fortunately I live 5 mins away so I ran over to help her, we called Dr. who said to take dad back to ER as they were concerned that he may be having an infection due to the stents. We were told this is a possibility before they were put in. They readmitted in to ICU and gave him heavy duty antibiotics through IV. His kidneys were working overtime and showing distress as well as possible liver abscess. They are now trying to decide whether to go back and put a couple of metal stents in but wanted to make sure his infection is under control first. Heres the thing, to look at dad you would think he is healthy, fit etc. Color is great, no jaundice in face or eyes. No pains in stomach area, normal bowls. Only symptoms are excruciating pain in shoulder/arm and a bit dehydration from saline in IV. His liver functions are now all great and his kidneys are back to normal. They had him fast last night in prep for another endoscopy/stent placement but this morning decided to put it off since his symptoms are stabilizing and why risk infection right? His biliruben was up to 3.9 but has now dropped to 3.2, everything for now seems to be going in right direction. He has received 4 treatments of radiation for the tumor in neck and met with radiologist who suggested waiting 3 weeks to start chemo when he is done with radiation and completely infection free. We are just at such a loss now and don't know if this is all good news, or is he a waiting time bomb. He and my mom are very close, best friends have done everything together. They have 2 big trips this summer already paid and planned , one to Europe, will this still be able to happen? Are we deluding ourselves? Sorry this is so long, my husband and I have spent countless nights researching this cancer on the internet and everything we've read seems so grim. Of course my mom still hangs on to hopes and cures, but she doesn't go on line to research all this info. I have 3 kids ages 22, 20 and 16 all very close to their grandpa, he has been so involved in their lives, we take many vacations together etc. Oldest just graduated college and is applying to Med School, dads only wish is to be there for his med school graduation. Daughter is a junior in college out of state and feels so helpless being away from all this... do we fly her down now? wait till absolutely necessary? She is coming home for spring break in March, we live in CA and she goes to school in WA, so not far. I feel like i'm just rambling now, so sorry, lots of thoughts and concerns going through my head as this is all so new... we always said we are so lucky because "cancer doesn't run in our family" that is until now. How are we supposed to act and feel around dad, trying to be strong but theres this big elephant in the room now

Spiced Date and Sesame Crunchies
This recipe is from Delia's Cakes. Makes about 18
- method
- Ingredients
Put the chopped dates, water, lemon juice and cinnamon in a small saucepan and heat gently, stirring occasionally, until the mixture looks as though it will spread fairly easily.
Then take the saucepan off the heat and leave it to cool.
While it's cooling, mix the flour, semolina and sesame seeds together in a bowl. Now place the butter and sugar together in another small saucepan and heat gently until the butter has completely melted; then stir this mixture into the flour and semolina.
Mix well, and press half the mixture into the tin, using your hands to spread it as evenly as possible all over.
Next spread the date mixture carefully over this – again as evenly as possible – and after that top with the remaining flour and semolina mixture.
This will by now have cooled a little and will probably be a bit crumbly, so just sprinkle it over the date mixture, pressing it down lightly all over.
Now bake near the centre of the oven for 30 minutes, until the surface is tinged nicely golden brown.
Then cool, cut into bars and serve, or store in a tin till needed.
Pre-heat the oven to 190ºC, gas mark 5

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
By KEITH PETERSON
Is every quarter-end a contract free-for-all at your company? As a sales leader, do you know the status of every contract in process? Do you have the confidence to forecast contract approvals accurately every quarter? If these questions sound familiar, you are not alone. In fact, estimates indicate that 18 to 20 percent of the sales process is consumed with contract creation, negotiation, review, revision and approval processes. Studies show that the longer a contract takes to close, the less likely it is to conclude successfully.
Navigating the twists and turns of a high volume of sales contracts poses a challenge to the best sales teams. However, the speed and success of the process will be directly impacted by other forces: the prospect's organization; legal and executive reviews; and compliance issues among others. Managing sales contracts properly can help shrink the sales cycle, improve cash flow and reduce the risk of litigation and penalties.
Good News: You Have Control of the Sales Contract Process
Because the majority of steps occur inside your company, you control most of the sales contract lifecycle. Imagine seeing a 50 percent improvement in the contract cycle. That could reduce sales cycle time by 9 percent and means you can close 11 percent more deals with the same resources. Fortunately, there is a better way. The following best practices for sales contract management provide guidance to overcome the typical sales contract chaos.
Since contract management solutions range from simple to extremely complex and sophisticated, best practices dictate that the most successful implementations focus on getting started quickly, gaining success early, and proving ROI. For example, take a few important contracts that are still in the early stages. Automate these contracts to start and add additional contracts later.
Alternatively, you can begin with contracts of one division or one product line in the company. Use this pilot project to remove process kinks and focus on the contracts rather than being overwhelmed by the process. Get everyone's feedback before you finalize the process. Make sure everyone on the team, including customers, knows that you are taking steps to solve the contract management headaches of the past.
Take Contracts to the Cloud
Unlike traditional software implementations, a cloud solution (also called Software-as-a-Service, SaaS, or Web-based solution) enables you to begin sales contract automation with a small department, perhaps five individuals. Rather than spend excessive cycles on system planning and testing (as required with on-premise software), a cloud sales contract solution allows your initial team to quickly set up the business rules and processes and begin using the solution. You will know within a few weeks how successfully the cloud solution supports the business, and you can assess potential ROI of the solution as well as how much it will reduce the sales contract chaos.
Basics of Cloud Contract Management
What should you look for in a cloud contract management solution?
Say 'No' to Managing Technology and 'Yes' to Managing the Business
If you work for a small or medium-sized company or in a resources-constrained division of a large company, selecting and managing new technology presents a daunting task. Not only are budgets constrained, but today's economy also makes adding new, on-premise software along with the required hardware and tools to support the software difficult, if not impossible.
Implementing traditional sales contract automation software involves managing software, hardware and professional services in an expensive, time-consuming process. A cloud software solution, however, means that you manage thebusiness function not the technology. Cloud enables you to solve the business problem and to reap business benefits while leaving the technology challenges to others.
How Do You Know If You Have Solved Contract Chaos?
You know you've solved contract chaos when you are closing more deals faster, making forecasts, and reducing the amount of nerve-wracking, last-minute contract reviews and approvals. You'll also have metrics to track improvements and to identify areas for improvement:
Say 'No' to Managing Technology and 'Yes' to Managing Contracts
In the past, implementing traditional sales contract automation software would have been an expensive, time-consuming, and painfully complex process. You would have to spend countless hours researching different vendors, putting out an RFP, comparing products, building an ROI case, and getting IT budgets assigned as well as working through the purchase and implementation cycle.
A cloud software solution means that you manage thefunction, not the technology. Cloud enables you to get started quickly, sometimes within a few days, and begin to actually use the solution to automate your processes without the capital expense and the time intensity of traditional software. You can solve the business problems and reap the benefits while leaving the technology challenges to others. The cloud model also provides tremendous advantages to quickly and easily transform a chaotic sales contract process into one that cuts time out of the contract process and enhances sales team productivity—while offering fast time to value but low relative risk for the organization.
