iPhone 4s has a 3.5-inch Retina display, an 8-megapixel iSight camera with 1080p HD video recording, a FaceTime camera and long battery life. And with iOS 7 and iCloud, it does more than ever.
SIM free iPhone 4s will lock to the network of the first SIM used.
Possibly the most owned smartphone in the world, the iPhone 4S has a classic look, but is full of features. Reliable, easy to use, it's ideal for just about anyone, and is a great alternative to brand new phones as it still has plenty of power and features, but is more economically priced.
The battery of the iPhone 4S is 1,432mAh, giving a standby time of up to 200 hours and talk time up to 8 hours. The 3.5" screen is one of the sharpest around and has particularly lifelike colours. Resolution is 640x960, giving it 330 pixels per inch (PPI), a very high score. Running iOS 7 means it has the latest software. The dual core 1GHz A5 processor was designed specifically iPhone 4S, so it's perfect for the job. An 8MP camera is still one of the best around, and with 8GB of on-board memory, there's lots of space for music and photos. .
Simply ask Siri to help you send messages, set reminders or search information. It understands not only what you say, but also what you mean, so you can speak naturally. It can even use information from your iPhone – such as your locations, contacts and contact relationships – to provide intelligent, personal assistance1.
The iPhone 4S is a fast and powerful smartphone. The A5 chip delivers up to 2x faster performance, so it's quicker at launching apps, loading pages in Safari and taking photos. And with up to 7x faster graphics, gameplay is even more amazing2.
With a custom-lens and a new 8-megapixel sensor, iPhone 4S takes superb photos. You can also record 1080p HD video with image stabilisation. iCloud stores your music, photos, documents and more, and wirelessly pushes them to all devices. Automatic, effortless and seamless – it just works. iCloud is the easiest way to manage your content, because now you don't have to.3
There are so many reasons why iPhone is the world's best-selling smartphone. It's so easy to use, you don't need a manual. The hardware and software are engineered by Apple to work together perfectly. And iPhone gives you truly long battery life. Some people settle for any smartphone. But iPhone owners love their iPhone4S.
iPhone will lock itself to the network of the first SIM card that is used in the phone. Subsequently attempting to use it on any other network, for example by replacing the SIM card, may mean it becomes permanently unusable. SIM free iPhones can only be used with a UK-network SIM card, and will not accept foreign SIM cards.

8 Week Course (1 lesson per week)
How much do you want to pay? more info
If you find yourself wanting to travel, but feel limited by the struggle to fund your trip, this course is for you. Travel is one of the best ways to open your mind and seek your own spiritual truth. For those who consider themselves Spiritual Seekers, travel can be enlightening, energizing, and...expensive! Take this course to find 8 real ways to make money traveling so you can concentrate on discovering, not worry about your finances.
This course will walk you through eight different ways to make money while traveling, each of which has been tested and worked for the instructor and countless students. It will also connect you to the spiritual aspect of travel, and inspire you to explore not only the world outside, but the world inside yourself.
The Spiritual Seeker is not preoccupied with money, but understands that it is a tool to help them see the world, to help them experience the world with all five senses, to help them eat, sleep, and travel. That is why this course focuses on how to bring value to other people and, in exchange, find funding for travel.
"With a belief that nothing is impossible and a lot of time researching my options, I made my journey to South America possible. This class will give you the gift of possibilities." -Emily Hutter
"This class has awakened me to the possibility of travel and adventure that I thought were out of reach. Now I understand that while the first step is mindset, the second step is following some of the practical steps outlined in this class." -Joseph Ndour
Katie Krueger is a writer and entrepreneur who has lived and worked in five continents. She has traveled around the world, each time using at least one of the creative ways listed in this course to find funding for her trip. Katie earned her MBA in entrepreneurship from the University of Wisconsin and has 6+ years of experience running her own business online and off. She has studied multiple languages and is fluent in at least two. Katie lives in Madison where she enjoys gardening, biking, running, and vegetarian cooking.

Editors' note: This review is part of our 2010 retail laptop and desktop back-to-school roundup, covering specific fixed configurations of popular systems that can be found in retail stores.
Asus' Essentio CM5675-07 features a welcome new midtower case design, and relatively fast performance for its $749 price. Those are about its only distinguishing qualities. It lacks interesting features like wireless networking, Blu-ray, or a dedicated graphics card, which makes it hard to generate much enthusiasm for a desktop that simply performs certain tasks (not all) a few seconds faster than its less-expensive competition. The Essentio CM5675-07 would make a workable upgrade platform, and it would be a fine productivity box if you weren't overly focused on digital media editing. Otherwise, you can spend less for desktops with more useful features.
We'll give Asus credit for the Essentio CM5675-07's updated chassis. It replaces the boring, boxy case from the Essentio CM5571-BR03 with a more polished, thoughtful design. An angled portion near the top edge of the case make the USB 2.0 and media card ports more easily accessible than the older model. You also get more of those ports in the new Essentio, with four USB 2.0 jacks lining the top edge, underneath which you'll find card slots for CompactFlash, SD/MMS cards, and Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro cards.
Asus Essentio CM5675-07 | HP Pavilion p6540y | |
Price | $749 | $699 |
CPU | 3.2GHz Intel Core i5 650 | 2.8GHz AMD Athlon II X4 830 |
Memory | 8GB 1,333MHz DDR3 SDRAM | 8GB 1,333MHz DDR3 SDRAM |
Graphics | 32MB (shared) Intel GMA HD X4500 integrated graphics chip | 256MB (shared) ATI Radeon HD 4200 integrated graphics chip |
Hard drives | 1TB, 7,200rpm | 1TB, 7,200rpm |
Optical drive | Dual-layer DVD burner | Dual-layer DVD burner |
Networking | Gigabit Ethernet | Gigabit Ethernet |
Operating system | Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) | Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) |
The closest competitor to the Essentio CM5675-07 is the $699 HP Pavilion p6540y, an AMD-based midtower in a color HP refers to as "magnesium gray." And here we thought all Windows midtowers were supposed to be black.
In most respects, the two systems have nearly identical features. Each has 8GB of RAM, a DVD burner, wired networking only, and a 1TB hard drive. The Asus has a few more connectivity options, including HDMI and S/PDIF digital audio output in addition to its DVI and VGA video ports and analog audio jacks. The HP has no HDMI or S/PDIF, but it does have FireWire, arguably more useful in a midtower desktop you're not likely to bring into the living room.
We'd prefer more variety in the Asus' data ports, and we're also surprised Asus couldn't squeeze in Wi-Fi or some other nonstandard feature to help the Essentio stand out. You'll find wireless networking in the $649 Gateway DX4840-03e, a slower, but still worthy desktop. We suspect Asus is relying on the fast Intel Core i5 560 CPU to set this competent but otherwise bland desktop apart.

Rendering multiple CPUs | Rendering single CPU |
The Essentio's performance on our benchmark tests for the most part justifies relying on the CPU to sell this system, but we wish its victory over the Pavilion 6540f was more decisive. On single-core, and even multitasking tests, the Asus wins, by margins ranging from dramatic to simply noticeable. The Essentio beat the HP by nearly a minute in our multitasking test, a fairly indicative measure of how people actually use their PCs.
For more-specialized work, like our single-application, multithreaded Cinebench test that exercises all of a CPU's processing threads, we suspect the Essentio falls behind the AMD-powered HP because of the Asus' Core i5 650 chip, a dual-core CPU that can emulate a quad-core chip thanks to Intel's HyperThreading technology. The AMD Athlon II X4 830 in the HP is a native four-core processor. The HP might not be as fast on programs that require fewer cores, but on software written to take advantage of multiple CPU cores, like more and more games and digital-media editing apps, it seems a native quad-core chip still provides an advantage over Intel's emulation strategy.

10.6: Solve a prohibited-to-boot icon at startup
I am an Apple Consultants Network (ACN) member. I agree Norton is terrible for the user, but good for my business. If you or your clients want a decent antivirus that just plain works, Kaspersky released a mac version of their antivirus and I have been using it. It's caught a couple viruses that were thrown on my flash drive by infected PCs I'd worked to clean up. Good thing about it is that it's unobtrusive, and a much more low-key interface. It's CPU-friendly (as all programs like this should be since OS X supports prioritizing of processes). I've used a lot of mac antivirus apps over the years and I haven't found one I can stand on the mac since the OS 8 days. |

Product Information
The Lee Precision Carbide Factory Crimp Die is designed to give reloaders the perfect crimp on each round of reloaded ammunition. The Factory Crimp Die crimps the bullet more firmly in place than any other die with more uniform pressure. The Carbide Factory Crimp Die features a carbide ring that sizes the cartridge while it is being crimped so every round will positively chamber freely with factory-like dependability. The adjusting screw quickly and easily sets the desired amount of crimp while a factory-like crimp is added to more firmly hold the bullet in place. Lee's testing has shown that using a Factory Crimp Die provides a more uniform pressure curve, increasing the accuracy of any bullet. A firm crimp is essential for dependable and accurate ammunition. Shellholder sold separately.

Has anyone had problems with f4v export in AME?
Single pass CBR is OK but when I created a preset with 2 pass VBR (tried various different settings), the encode fails just after it starts the second pass with an error compiling movie - unknown error.
No problems with any other encodes that I know of.
Any ideas?
Coincidentally I am having the same problem (or at least a similar problem). I've been trying to output some .f4v files in AME CS5 and, though I am able to successfully render out CBR and VBR 1 pass, it fails when I bump it up to 2 pass. Like the original post, the error occurs at the start of the second pass.
Here are the settings I am trying (as requested by a client for several animated pieces in .MOVs. I can tweak some things, but the goal is to keep the file size down without incurring terrible quality):
- Video: 640x360, Same as source fps, Progressive
- Audio: AAC, 96 kbps, 44.1 kHz, Stereo
- Bitrate: VBR, 2 Pass, Target 0.60 Mbps, Max 10.00 Mbps
- Keyframe Distance: 120 frames
The sources range in frame size and fps, but so far nothing has worked in 2 pass VBR. As soon as I change it to 1 pass or CBR, it works fine.
I've tried cleaning the media cache, but it didn't seem to help. I'm using a 2.66GHz Core i5 iMac with 4 gigs of ram. Let me know if anyone has any thoughts!
Well I have cleared the media cache, but I'm not sure if I cleared them correctly. I've read two possible ways to do this, holding command + option + shift while opening the application and to actually go to /users/preferences/adobe/ and physically delete the preference files there (I'm a bit hesitant to do that entirely, so I've backed up the files just in case that wasn't the proper way to do it). I've tried them both, clearing the cache each time, but it doesn't seem to get my VBR 2 pass working. Perhaps I need to do a complete uninstall/reinstall?
I've tried to play with the bitrate settings quite a bit. Every setting I try fails right at the start of the second pass: my original settings, 2Mbps - 6Mbps you suggested, the Low, Medium, High presets and several other variations.
I've also tried turning off various settings I'm using as well (like resize video, keyframe distance, and audio), and the only thing that seems to be affecting it is when I'm using VBR 2 pass. 1 pass works without a hitch, as does CBR... It just seems like the problem lies with trying to do a second VBR pass.
Thanks for the help so far, I wish I had more success to report back!
Well, after much failing I finally got it to work... after reinstalling Media Encoder. Luckily I was able to just reinstall that portion of CS5, so it didn't take terribly long.
After that, I remade my preset and BAM! I can now do VBR 2 pass! Weird that it didn't work before, I guess something must have hiccuped during my first install. Perhaps that's what happened to the originial poster? I'd recommend trying an uninstall/reinstall of Media Encoder and seeing if that helps.
Thanks again!
I am having the same problem with the CS5 Media Encoder on 64-bit Windows 7. As soon as the second pass starts, the encode fails and leaves an exclamation point in the Encoder queue. The partially built file cannot be played. This only started happening with the recent 5.0.1 update.
How did you uninstall just the Media Encoder? I would like to try re-installing it but it seems to get installed along with a couple components of CS5, like Flash and InDesign.
Encode Specs:
F4V, no resize, fps same as source, de-interlaced, AAC, 96kbps, 44.1kHz, Stereo, VBR, 2 Pass, Target 0.90 Mbps, Max 1.20 Mbps
Hmm, well I just popped in my install discs and, under Flash, just clicked the box for Adobe Media Encoder. It may have reinstalled Flash as well (I went out and grabbed some food during much of the installing, so I missed the specifics of what happened). I guess that might be a price you'll have to pay in order to get a second pass of VBR...
I guess back up any files, plugins, settings, etc you may have for Flash and reinstall. I can't guarentee that it'll work for you, but I hope it does!
Also, now that you mention it, I *did* do an Adobe update prior to all my issues and I haven't run the updater since reinstalling... Perhaps it's an issue with an update for something? I guess I'll have to see if an update renews my problems... After I finish converting things for my current project.
Thanks for following up. I tried your method of just reinstalling Media Encoder from the install media and watched what it did. I chose the Media Encoder option from InDesign instead of Flash since I don't use that as often. I unchecked everything EXCEPT Media Encoder, but as it ran it still listed all sorts of applications it touched during the install. Once the installer was done, AME was indeed back to release 5.0.0 but when I checked the available updates, almost every component of CS5 was listed as needing updates.
I suspect that just running all of the updates again (without the 5.0.1 update to AME) would work fine, and is probably what you will have to try after you are done with your current project. I happened to have a hard drive image from last week that was taken before I ran the CS5 updates, so I rolled my computer back to that point and installed the updates again (unchecking the AME update). This worked great and I can confirm that Media Encoder stayed at release 5.0.0 and still happily does the second pass on F4V encodes. I'll just wait until version 5.0.2 comes out before I let AME update again. Thanks for posting the information that got me headed in the right direction.
Well, I had the same exact problem and I solved it using info from this post. I figured I would simplify it for those who come to this forum in the future with the same problem by providing a step by step tutorial on how I solved the issue.
1) Close out all Adobe applications.
2) Insert CS5 install Disk 1 into computer.
3) When you get to the install options, click the check box next to Flash Professional.
4) The programs associated with this program will appear to the right. Uncheck all of the applications except media encoder.
5) Re-install media encoder.
6) Update all Adobe software applications.
Hopefully, this will solve the issue.

I've tried all of the above without sucess. VBR 1pass and CBR work just fine, but VBR2 hangs and fails at 2nd pass everytime.
I also seem to get the "System running low on memory" message after a failed encoding as well. I allow Premiere to have 4.5GB of my 6GB of system memory. 35GB free space on scratch disk, Core i7 920 and the project is only 3min long.
I've heard that using still images can cause problems. I use tiff files in premiere to make slideshows. What's the issue with still images?
Premiere Pro (pre update) rendered everything just fine, BTW...
So... What gives?
I have the same problem ...
I also get the "System running low on memory" message after a failed encoding as well.
This issue appears only since august 2010. My export settings (f4v, CBR-2) worked fine before.
Two things I can suggest at a glance.
Trash your preferences (Media Encoder). I'm on a mac as I type this so that one would be user folder>library>preferences>adobe>media encoder>5.0. Take the 5.0 folder and toss it.
The other solution you can try is to;
thanks for your fast response:
Thanks again !
Here are my experiences:
This issue depends on update-level... Adobe please help.

This issue depends on update-level... Adobe please help.
Before I updated, 2 pass f4v worked fine. But with AME 5.0.1, the encoding stops at exactly halfway through.
I had to reinstall CS5 yesterday. I'm going to wait until this issue is fixed before I update AME.
As i see i'm not the only one who have this problem with the 2nd pass i will also post my problem here.
Like the others the encoding stops after the first pass with an "unknown error".
I tried to delete the cache and the 5.0 folder from adobe. Nothing helped. I don't want to reinstall the master collection because there has to be another solution for this!!
I hope i could help to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance ...
I don't have anything useful to add except "Me too."

*Everything* fails on 2-pass now. Used to work fine, but now fails at the start of the second pass. Every single time.

Any news on this Adobe, I can't render out my 2 pass F4V?
Yep. To my knowlege Adobe never fixed it. It's terrible really, I've
nearly had CS5 for a year and I can't update my Flash because doing so
updates Media Encoder (which I use a lot) to a version that crashes for me.
I've come to believe Adobe won't get around to it until CS6 or something...
I'd stick to my previous advice: uninstall, reinstall, check to see if VBR 2
pass works and, if so, avoid any Adobe updates (to Flash at least) until
someone reports that the error is fixed.
Anyone know if there's a better way to report errors like these to Adobe
besides posting on the forum and crossing your fingers?

Panaceia's Daughters
Noblewomen as Healers in Early Modern Germany
312 pages
15 halftones, 2 tables
6 x 9
© 2013
Panaceia's Daughters provides the first book-length study of noblewomen's healing activities in early modern Europe. Drawing on rich archival sources, Alisha Rankin demonstrates that numerous German noblewomen were deeply involved in making medicines and recommending them to patients, and many gained widespread fame for their remedies. Turning a common historical argument on its head, Rankin maintains that noblewomen's pharmacy came to prominence not in spite of their gender but because of it.
Rankin demonstrates the ways in which noblewomen's pharmacy was bound up in notions of charity, class, religion, and household roles, as well as in expanding networks of knowledge and early forms of scientific experimentation. The opening chapters place noblewomen's healing within the context of cultural exchange, experiential knowledge, and the widespread search for medicinal recipes in early modern Europe. Case studies of renowned healers Dorothea of Mansfeld and Anna of Saxony then demonstrate the value their pharmacy held in their respective roles as elderly widow and royal consort, while a study of the long-suffering Duchess Elisabeth of Rochlitz emphasizes the importance of experiential knowledge and medicinal remedies to the patient's experience of illness.
Justin Grosslight | Arts Fuse
"Panaceia's Daughters places early modern women and their relationship with 'medical cookery' squarely in the canon of mainstream scientific pursuits. With a discerning eye, Rankin ingeniously exploits not only hitherto unexamined letters but also medical recipes and estate inventories to illuminate a fascinating lay medical world situated at the intersection of medical knowledge, charity, and patronage."
Carla Nappi | New Books in Science, Technology, and Society
"A thoughtfully written and very clearly argued work that informs many aspects of the history of gender, of science and medicine, and of practical epistemologies."
Gianna Pomata, Johns Hopkins University
"This is a beautifully crafted, solid, and imaginative piece of historical research that brings new light on the role of women in early modern medicine and on their participation in the early modern culture of experimentation and empiricism. Alisha Rankin highlights the connection between the medieval tradition of experimenta (medical recipes) and the birth of early modern empiricist attitudes and practices, thus offering an important contribution to the history of early modern scientific culture."
Pamela H. Smith, Columbia University
"Through deep and meticulous research into little-used archives, Panaceia's Daughters gives insight into both macro-historical issues such as the development of new modes of knowledge-making in early modern Europe and micro-historical questions of lay perceptions of sickness and health. Most of all, it underscores the sometimes hidden but always central place of women in health care and healing in the early modern era, revealing the importance of 'princess-practitioners' and vividly bringing to life their networks of recipe and medicinal exchange. This book demonstrates that kitchen gardens, still rooms, recipes, and household arts should not be relegated to the margins but, rather, placed squarely within the history of the scientific revolution."
William Eamon, New Mexico State University
"Panaceia's Daughters is a fascinating read. Meticulously researched and brimming with new insights, it tells the forgotten story of the early modern German noblewomen who worked as healers and experimented with newfangled medicines. Alisha Rankin reveals a hitherto invisible underworld of empirical and experimental science that flourished in the households of early modern Germany, and brings back to life the everyday world of the Renaissance courts. A model cultural history of science, Panaceia's Daughters is an important contribution to our understanding of women's roles in making scientific knowledge and is essential reading for anyone interested in gender history and the history of the Scientific Revolution. With this engrossing, pathbreaking work, Rankin takes her place among the leading historians of early modern science."
Tara Nummedal, Brown University
"With admirable archival skill and a remarkable ability to tease meaning out of seemingly straightforward sources, Alisha Rankin reconstructs the extensive medical activity and widely recognized authority of scores of German noblewomen and situates them at the nexus of medical expertise, charity, and patronage. This book not only challenges us to rethink our understanding of patronage and court culture in terms of gender but also reminds us of the many varieties of empiricism and experimentalism that flourished in the sixteenth century, long before they were articulated and institutionalized in scientific societies. Panaceia's Daughters is a delight to read and will further establish early modern German courts as lively sites for the exploration of nature."

Marion Mayor Focusing on InfrastructureBy George Ford, Reporter
MARION, Iowa — A focus on maintaining and improving community infrastructure over the past year in Marion will continue in 2013, according to Marion Mayor Allen "Snooks" Bouska.
In his State of the City address Tuesday at the Longbranch Hotel and Conference Center, Bouska said Marion needs to keep pace to serve a community with the sixth-fastest population growth in the state. "We will continue to grow and expand our underground infrastructure of water and sewer systems," Bouska said. "We also will continue to expand our fiber-optic network with the schools and neighboring jurisdictions. "We will address drainage issues associated with citywide construction and housing expansions. We need to establish surface water drainage initiatives that apply the statutes and are in agreement with the business community." Five years ago, Marion had about 20 acres of so-called shovel-ready industrial property available to attract businesses to the community. Bouska said Marion currently has 300 acres of land ready for industrial development, thanks to the Marion Economic Development Co. George Lake, president of MEDCO, said representatives of 49 businesses from the U.S. and foreign countries visited Marion's industrial parks in 2012 looking at sites for potential new building projects. "Now that the elections are over and the fiscal cliff has been averted, we're hoping to see some development," Lake said after Bouska's presentation. "We know it's just a matter of time until someone pulls the trigger. "We're hoping that it will be sooner, rather than later." Lake said he's been reassured by representatives of other Iowa communities that have developed successful industrial parks. "Cedar Falls, which I think has one of the most successful industrial parks in the state, went for more than two years before the first prospect started to build," Lake said. "Storm Lake has a very nice, but smaller industrial park. "The economic development director reassured me that it was three years before the first prospect developed and now the park is full." Bouska said the $2.6 million first phase of Marion's Central Corridor plan on Sixth Avenue involving brick paving from Eighth to 13th Streets was completed in late 2012. A roundabout planned for the east end of the Central Corridor project should provide continued access to Seventh Avenue, he added. "It's my hope and prayer that we're able to keep Seventh Avenue open so the businesses can maintain viability and profitability," said Bouska, who as a small business owner was a critic of the Central Corridor plan when he campaigned for mayor.

- I love it !!! Review by Varietytime
Quality Nice quality and delivers great vibes. Only wish it was about 2-3 inches longer. Couldn't wait to get this in and try it out, the extra feelings I experienced was everything I imagined it would be and maybe a little more.
(Posted on 1/19/14)
- Too Short and Too Expensive Review by Dan
Quality Too short and way overpriced. Save your money on this one.
(Posted on 4/11/13)
- Good stuff... Review by guest
Quality I was a first timer when I bought this sound.
I thought the vibrations would be more intense, but they're not bad.
I handled the 5/16" head with no problem and quickly learned I could take the full length. In fact, I'm disappointed it isn't longer.(Posted on 12/2/12)
- good sound Review by sr
Quality this sound is good quality and vibrates nicely

Quality This is the first sound of any kind that I've tried, and it fit fine. A little unpleasant the first time, but very pleasurable after that. It really helps to be in the right mindset. No aftereffects or soreness at all.

Quality Nice case. The diameter's just right for ease of insertion. Feels wonderful having it deep inside my penis and feeling the vibrations from the inside out. Exquisite sensations as I slide it in and slowly ease it back out.
Great service too from order to receipt.(Posted on 2/29/12)

Quality This device is great. I first saw it at a well known shop here in town but at more than twice the cost. I couldn't afford it but when I saw it on your site at that price I was not about to pass it up. Great deal,great gadget.

Radiation therapy for cancer of the esophagus
Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. It is often combined with other types of treatment, such as chemotherapy (chemo) and/or surgery, to treat esophageal cancer. Radiation therapy may be used:
- As part of the primary (main) treatment of esophageal cancer in some patients, typically along with chemo. This is often used for people who can't have surgery due to poor health.
- Before surgery (usually along with chemo), to try to shrink the cancer and make it easier to remove (called neoadjuvant treatment).
- After surgery (usually along with chemo), to try to kill any areas of cancer cells that may have been left behind but are too small to see. This is known as adjuvant therapy.
- To ease the symptoms of advanced esophageal cancer such as pain, bleeding, or trouble swallowing. This is called palliative therapy.
There are 2 main types of radiation therapy.
External-beam radiation therapy: This type of treatment focuses radiation from outside the body on the cancer. This is the type of radiation therapy most often used when the intent is to try to cure esophageal cancer.
Before your treatments start, the radiation team will take careful measurements to determine the correct angles for aiming the radiation beams and the proper dose of radiation. Radiation therapy is much like getting an x-ray, but the radiation is stronger. The procedure itself is painless. Each treatment lasts only a few minutes, although the setup time – getting you into place for treatment – usually takes longer. Most often, radiation treatments are given 5 days a week for several weeks.
Internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy): For this type of treatment, the doctor places radioactive material very close to the cancer through an endoscope. The radiation travels only a short distance, so it reaches the tumor but has little effect on nearby normal tissues. The radioactive source is then removed a short time later. Brachytherapy can be given 2 ways:
For high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy, the doctor leaves the radioactive material near the tumor for a few minutes at a time, which may require several treatments.
In low-dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy, a lower dose of radiation is put near the tumor for longer periods (1 or 2 days) at a time. This requires that the patient stay in the hospital during treatment, but it can usually be completed in only 1 or 2 treatments.
Brachytherapy is most often used with more advanced esophageal cancers to shrink tumors so a patient can swallow more easily. This technique cannot be used to treat a very large area, so it is better used as a way to relieve symptoms (and not to try to cure the cancer).
Possible side effects of radiation therapy
Side effects of external radiation therapy may include:
- Skin changes ranging from sunburn-like to blistering and open sores
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Fatigue
- Painful sores in the mouth and throat
- Dry mouth or thick saliva
These side effects are often worse if chemotherapy is given at the same time as radiation.
During treatment with either external radiation or brachytherapy, the radiation kills the normal cells in the lining of the esophagus, which can lead to painful swallowing. This starts shortly after beginning treatment but typically improves within a few weeks of finishing.
Most side effects of radiation are temporary, but some rare serious side effects can be permanent. For example, in some cases radiation can cause a stricture (narrowing) in the esophagus, which may require further treatment. Radiation to the chest can also cause lung damage, which may lead to problems breathing and shortness of breath.
Talk with your doctor before and during treatment about what side effects you can expect and any ways that they could be reduced.

text: Osa Johnson's travel adventures and explorations come across as vibrantly today as they did when they were written in 1940. They're richer now with the added perspective of history, and the added wealth of Martin Johnson's photographs of charging elephants, reposing lions, and head hunters roasting heads, marshmallow-like, over a campfire. The life the Johnsons led was nothing like the life Osa expected. From 1917 to 1937 she and Martin were visiting and filming cannibals in the New Hebrides, orangutans in Borneo, and the rich gamut of wildlife available on safari in Kenya and the Congo. Osa led a life the likes of which won't be seen again, and she tells a good story, too.

X10 Risk Factors for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
What causes IBD?
by Alyssa Sparacino
Inflammatory bowel diseases, which include Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are a bit mysterious. Both chronic and serious, these conditions are triggered by an abnormal immune reaction that can lead to diarrhea, abdominal cramps, rectal bleeding, fever, joint pain, loss of appetite, and fatigue, not to mention fistulas and serious complications that can require surgery to remove the colon.
Research has given us some hints as to the causes of IBD. It has been found that a combination of genes and environmental exposures is probably to blame. Here are some factors that may affect IBD risk.

I just looked at my pre-order for Creative Cloud, and the estimated release date now says May 11th instead of the 7th. Anyone else seeing this?
I am seeing the same on my account. Extremely disappointing. Didn't one of the Adobe employees post in this forum that we would be able to download the software beginning May 7th? Arpit Kapoor stated so here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4379836
UPDATE (05/07): According to The Verge, Adobe has released CS6 for download today. However from what I'm seeing, those of us choosing the Creative Cloud option will have to wait until the 11th. We'll see.
Does anyone know....for downloading the trials now, how exactly will this work? After installing the trials, on Friday will we essentially get a valid serial number to enter to activate?
Couple of other questions:
1) The CC versions are the same as the regular purchased versions correct?
2) Creative Cloud just gives you a different type of license correct?
3) And with creative cloud...there is no more "Suite" install correct? Everything is installed as a standalone app?
4) There's no downside in downloading and installing the trial is there?
It's the route officially suggested by Adobe so I'm positive that all will be fine. At present (initial release) it's the same software.
My understanding is that further down the line the CC versions will supersede the perpetual versions but the initial releases are the same. After Effects trial has some limited functionality with regards to plugins.
At the top of the main CC forum:
Yellow bar that says:
Also in this thread:
Still not sure I trust the trials.....might just wait until Friday.
Yeah....I think it's crazy that they couldn't have just activated the downloads portion of CC and say the other functionalities are coming on Friday.
Kind of ironic that Adobe touts one of the main features of CC as being able to get the latest FIRST....yet here we are, having to wait
Yes it's a shame that we don't get CC until Friday however I'm up and running in CS6 as we speak (been using it all afternoon) using the trials and all is fine so far.
When you launch the software, it asks if you want to use as a trial or enter a license. I'm guessing that on Friday we'll get our license and just enter it to activate the software.
If you want CS6 today then that's your option, otherwise wait until Friday :)
I might have to eat my words if it breaks on Friday! ;)
Thanks for the info Steve. Yeah let's hope come Friday just entering the license is all you need to do.
I called support and the gentleman I talked to claimed that you can do just that....there are NO differences between the trials and the versions you can download Friday.....which makes this decision even more bizarre!!
He did mention something about Adobe Application Manager.....but he wasn't clear.
Steve....did you download a suite....or just individual products? Did you use the Adobe Download Assistant?
I downloaded the Master Collection from:
The link at the bottom downloads the Application Manager / Assistent and then you download the full suite and install via that. All you have to do is enter your Adobe ID and hit 'trial' when you install them.
The full MC suite is around 7GB and took me around 3hrs to download. I'm sure, if you wanted a shorter download time, that you could just download the apps you wanted to use and then download the remaining ones at the end of the week.
The suite doesn't include Muse and Edge, though. I think we have to wait for CC for those.
Hope that helps.
Once Creative Cloud Membership is available you can just convert CS6 trials into products licensed to your Adobe ID, there is a "License this product" button that appears at the bottom when launching CS6 trials that you'll want to use.
CS6 products can coexist with prior version installations, so its not required to uninstall prior versions.
Some of the CS6 now include built in functionality for migrating settings from a prior version, apps that support this will prompt you to do so on first launch. Photoshop CS6 does this for example.
