Sometimes the early weeks of pregnancy can be very worrying, a viability ultrasound scan is useful to provide reassurance that the pregnancy is progressing as expected and has implanted in the correct place. They can also be used to determine the number of fetuses present! This type of scan provides reassurance for couples who have previously experienced miscarriage or if there has been any vaginal bleeding.
Please be aware that if your pregnancy is not progressing as planned or if an abnormality is detected during the scan, the results will be discussed with you immediately following your scan and a plan of action advised.
If the pregnancy is very early then it is usually necessary to do an internal (vaginal) scan. If the pregnancy is more than 7 weeks it may be possible to see enough abdominally (tummy scan), sometimes both scans are necessary to ensure all is well.
The age of a pregnancy is calculated from the first day of the last period (LMP), this means at the time of conception you are already 2 weeks pregnant! By 5 weeks from the first day of your LMP on scan it should be possible to see a pregnancy sac usually with a yolk sac present. Then by 6-7 weeks there should be a fetal pole and fetal heartbeat present. The age of the fetus is determined by measuring Crown Rump Length (CRL), this means the measurements are taken from the top of the baby's head to its bottom, from this measurement we can work out how many weeks and days pregnant you are.
During your scan we will explain the findings to you and following your scan we will give you your images and email your report to you. If we feel that any follow-up is necessary, we will advise you regarding what is necessary and how to arrange further assessment.
Remember every scan is different and the image quality can vary due to several factors.

What is a transabdominal ultrasound scan?
"A service which is thorough and honest. Everything is explained very well during the scan putting the patient at ease/offering reassurance. I cannot praise Cherish enough and they have never disappointed me yet. Having had missed miscarriages in the past and blood loss at 14 weeks during my current pregnancy they always offer reassurance and explain what is going on. I recommend Cherish to everyone and I cant thank them enough for all they have done for me."
Lorna, Aldridge
"After experiencing some vaginal bleeding in the morning, I chose to visit Cherish UK for a viability scan. Rachel booked me an appointment for 3 hours later, which was a huge relief. I'd been told by my GP I'd have to wait 2 days, which is something I didn't want to do. Jacqui, who took the scan, was amazing! She explained everything in detail and was both professional and personal. Thankfully I was able to see my baby and hear it's healthy heartbeat. :) The service was exceptional and I would highly recommend it to any expectant mums who want that extra reassurance. Thank you so much!"
Rebecca, Barnt Green
"I can not be any more pleased with the service that I have received at Cherish-UK today. I called them up on a bank holiday weekend to book myself in for a viability scan due to some bleeding that I had been having. Diana was very friendly and booked me in as soon as she could. Upon having my scan, I was reassured through out the whole process and Diana was very thorough with all the information that she provided to me and confirmed where my bleeding was coming from. Brilliant service and I would recommend Cherish-UK to anyone."
Katherin, Brownhills
"I've just had my first scan at 8 and a half weeks with Diana, which ended up being a transvaginal scan. Experience was great, Diana was very good at making us feel at ease with the whole process and explaining what was going on within my uterus. Very nice and personal service."
Kully, Birmingham
"Attended today to have a reassurance scan today, and It was a very pleasant and personal experience. All of my questions were answered, and I was scanned thoroughly by Diana and given several lovely photos. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. Thanks again."
Rachael, Birmingham
"I went to Cherish UK for a scan as I had experienced some vaginal bleeding. Diana was wonderful! I was welcomed, dealt with great sensitivity. The service felt both professional and personal and I received a full report and relevant advice. Thank you Diana! Long may this wonderful service continue! :)"
Sarah, Wolverhampton
"Thank you for such a wonderful experience and continued support during my pregnancy. In my final few weeks and I've been looking back through the pictures and CD from 3D and 2D scans. Thank you for making it so personal and providing the reassurance every pregnant woman needs during this special time. "
Sofia, Sutton Coldfield
"I went to Cherish for an viability scan and could not be happier! My little bean is 6 weeks and 5 days and had a healthy heartbeat. Jacqui was professional, welcoming and just lovely! She made me and my partner feel so at ease and we can not wait to go back for our gender scan! Would definitely recommend!"
Emma, Walsall
"After suffering a miscarriage last year, the thought of waiting another 12 weeks was agonising but with Cherish, it was such wonderful reassurance knowing that everything was ok this time round. Diana was very warm and welcoming, she took her time with the scan and talked us through every little detail about the baby and how things looked. I would recommend her to anyone as we came away feel very happy and blessed."
Natalie, Sutton Coldfield
"I have been to see Jacqui since I was 7 weeks pregnant. From the moment I had the scan, I was beyond impressed with the level of knowledge, professionalism and care shown to us. From that moment I knew as health professional myself that I would definitely be having supplementary scans with Jacqui, not only for reassurance but also for the depth of information that is given at each scan. The warmness & genuine care shown by Jacqui has been invaluable and I cannot recommend anyone more highly."
Sheetal, Birmingham
"Me and my husband have just been for a viability scan after suffering 2 previous miscarriages. I am 7 weeks and am so relived after having the scan which was done by Diana. Absolutely fantastic, words can't express how relieved I feel. Thank you very much!"
Katie, Birmingham
"I couldn't recommend them anymore, they were very friendly and the experience here was fabulous. The scanning equipment was brilliant and I felt at ease straight away. We came away with loads of pictures and reassured that we had a healthy baby on the way. I will definitely be booking in for a 4d scan."
Becky, Streetly
"I had a six week reassurance scan after a previous miscarriage, and the treatment I received for both scans was personal and dealt with in a very sensitive manner. The service is one that I cannot fault. Any questions we had were answered honestly and we left the scan feeling very informed and reassured. Thank you."
Helena, Sutton Coldfield
"Another great experience at cherish after 2 miscarriages and one ectopic, I wanted the reassurance of an early scan at 6 weeks and now a beautiful scan at 20 weeks which I took my 7 year old daughter to and Jacqui was more then happy to answers her 101 questions !!!!. Great experience will go back for another scan in the new year."
Amy, Fradley
"I would like to share my story. I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks and was extremely excited. About 4 days after discovering this, I lost all pregnancy symptoms and became quite anxious. My midwife gave me the telephone number for Cherish UK 3 days ago. I spoke to Diana who was extremely sympathetic to my situation and agreed to see me just a few hours later. When I arrived to the clinic, Diana was extremely comforting and she confirmed that I was in fact carrying a failing pregnancy. Diana was lovely and calming throughout and treated me with complete respect. I am so glad that I went along for the scan as now I can begin to mourn my loss. Diana emailed over my report which I have to take to my doctor next week if I haven't miscarried. Without the support and reassurance from this amazing lady, I would have found this whole experience too much. I cannot thank her enough for her kindness. I would not have coped without her. Thank you Cherish UK."
Kirsty, Sutton Coldfield
"After spending several hours in A&E with a suspected miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy and being told I would have to wait for three days to have an early pregnancy ultrasound scan to confirm what was going on, we decided to get an appointment at the earliest opportunity at Cherish UK. Jacqui was able to give us lots of information on the possibilities before our scan and was very understanding and compassionate. During the scan Jacqui explained clearly what she was looking for and what she could see and therefore what consequences that might have. To our delight she was able to confirm that I hadn't miscarried and wasn't having an ectopic pregnancy and that there was a baby with a healthy heartbeat there! We are so thankful for having the peace of mind that Jacqui provided and the fact we could be seen quickly rather than having to wait on the NHS. A hundred thank you's!"

I got this in a pack of the Estee Lauder Advanced products. I love the day moisturiser to bits (the texture and smell are like nothing else) and the glowy under foundation stuff is nice. This stuff is great. I'm only 20 and have been using this for about 4 months and the big circles under my eyes are gone, dark bits are gone and the whole area is looking pretty good. I would say this is not really a serum, it's really a concentrated moisture oil if anything and at the end of the day is just applying moisture to an area.
I think this is super pricey for what it is and the packaging could be more user friendly but I like that it's in a pot. The EL counter at the up market department store near me is a bit weird and they won't give out samples but I think it's worth buying outright just for the intense moisture. I was overseas and used it when I got back and could tell the difference between using it every night and using it on my parched skin after a month. Worth a try (even if it's just goo, it does the job).

Well... If we knew that a magic eye product is really somewhere there, we would be unanimous in buying it)) This thing is good, but nothing to write a smashing review about. It seems to nourish the under eye area well. It costs about $50. I can't say it has changed my life)) But which eye product has? So, I don't want to sound grumpy. If you have spare $50, give it a try. Probably it'll work magic for you as all the reviews on EL website are very positive.

I'm starting to see the beginnings of crow's feet and other eye area wrinkles and wanted to try to head them off at the pass. Unfortunately, I'm not hugely impressed with this product. It feels nice when applied and does moisturize (plus, it's unscented and doesn't irritate, which is a problem I've had with some eye creams), but I've seen absolutely no difference in my skin's texture. In fact, I think I saw more improvement with the much more basic Clinique All About Eyes Rich. I'll use up the rest of the pot because it was quite pricey, but I won't be repurchasing.

I tried the anr eye product because I got a free sample from the woman behind the counter. I tend to get puffiness under my eyes in the am and have a few tiny lines below my eyes. I used my free sample and then returned to buy a full size. I was determined to give it a good couple of months to see results. Well, after giving it that amount of time, my verdict is still out. I do believe it hydrates the undereye area(almost like vaseline would do), but as far as reducing fine lines...well, not so much. . I won't be buying it again. I will continue my search for an undereye cream which targets fine lines.

love this product from Estee Lauder! one of the best eye cream ive used! it really helps with my tiredness around my eyes!! it just makes me look fresher in the morning after using it before bed and you only need to apply just a small amount!! highly recommended it!!

Im not sure if I'd buy this product again. I actually really like it right now. I got so sick of trying one after another eye creams for weeks at a time without any results that I went out and bought three new eye creams that I hadn't tried before--Clarins Eye contour balm, Kiehl's midnight recovery eye concentrate, and this. I really like this. Its a gel so it doesnt feel super heavy on my oily skin, and some of it inevitably gets on my cheekbones which is where my pores start; other eye creams have given me milia there but this one doesnt which is great. It also really soothes my eyes. I am chronically sleep deprived and nothing will take care of that black bag under the eyes problem except sleep. However I am starting to realize that creams can make the lines less prominent. I'm 27 and so I dont have many lines but the 'tiredness' lines that come about after hours of staying up are def helped by this. Whether or not it does something for wrinkles I'm prob not qualified to say. I put this on at night and my eyes look better than theyve looked in a while. That said, I'm always looking for better things and more improvement and so I'm not sure if I would commit to using this or buying this exclusively from hereon out. If I don't find anything better I would.
Its about the price of a regular eye cream--fifty ish or so for 0.5 fl oz; not too bad compared to most of Lancome's eye creams now (70+ for renergie?? hello!), or even worse, 100 dollar creams. I mean really, I do want not-saggy, baggy, lined eyes, but I don't want to be bankrupt either. I think this is reasonable for what I can afford at the moment. I like the jar, they give a spatula but I like to use my finger after washing my hands and face at night. Cute jar.

This a very good eye cream,I don't know why it is so under rated.I tried so many brands (Clarins,Dior and EA) but this is simply the best just give it time.
I apply it every night and my fine lines are barely there.I use Bobbi Brown hydrating eye cream in the morning and my concealer glides on so smoothly.
I love it and will buy it again.

Although I was already very content with my eye cream, I decided to try this product as I got a 2 week sample size in a set with my Idealist serum. Applying the product felt absolutely amazing and I look forward every night to reapplying. I woke up the next morning after the first use a noticed my fine lines were not as pronounced and my dark circles weren't as apparent. $50 for an eye cream is about average I'd say, so I'd definately consider repurchasing.

This reviews really shocked me, first of all do some research before you buy a product.. Ask the BA even!! This is an eye serum gel this is meant to be used WITH an eye cream it's like the advance night repair serum you don't just you serums you need to use a moisturizer on top they hydrate you because they help absorb moisture!! But if your only useing this how are you getting moisture??? Please tell me I'd love to know! You need a an eye cream on top and moisturizer over the facial serum! If you do that trust me you would get the same results I got, truly the best I've ever used and I've tried ALOT! This whole line had transformed my skin I swear By it! You just have to use it correctly ( you have to use any skincare Regin correctly to see results!) don't let those reviews scare you away it's an amazing eye gel just use an eye cream on top and you will be estatic, defiantly will buy again! I also love the hydra eye & time zone eye creams to use on top

I'm planning to get a second back for my ETRSi. I currently have the ETRS new style back - the one with two tabs that must be pressed simultaneously to open the back. These are significantly cheaper than the EI back, which has a locking darkslide and replaces the film advance knob with a crank - these improvements are not particularly important to me. However I've also read on Tamron's site (www.tamron-usa.com/bronica/etr_guide.asp) that with the EI back, "pressure roller tension was increased for film flatness improvement".
Have any users of earlier ETR backs have experienced problems with film flatness?

The 2008-2009 ANES Panel Study is a telephone-recruited Internet panel with two cohorts recruited using nearly identical methods. The first cohort was recruited in late 2007 using random-digit-dialing (RDD) methods common to telephone surveys. Prospective respondents were offered $10 per month to complete surveys on the Internet each month for 21 months, from January 2008 through September 2009. Those without a computer and Internet service were offered a free web appliance, MSN TV 2, and free Internet service for the duration of the study. The second cohort was recruited the same way in the summer of 2008 and asked to join the panel beginning in September 2008. The recruitment interview was conducted by telephone in nearly all cases. A small number of respondents completed the recruitment survey on the Internet after failing to complete a telephone interview. Before the first monthly survey, most respondents also completed an online profile survey consisting primarily of demographic questions.
To minimize panel attrition and conditioning effects, only 7 of the 21 monthly surveys are about politics. Other surveys are about a variety of non-political topics. The panelists answered political questions prepared by ANES in January, February, June, September, October, and November 2008. With certainty, the panel answered more political questions in May 2009.
Note that the 2008-2009 ANES Panel Study is entirely separate from the 2008 ANES Time Series study, which was conducted using the traditional ANES method of face-to-face interviews before and after the 2008 election. Although there are a few questions common to both studies, the samples and methods are different. For further details, see the User Guide. Complete documentation is available on the ANES Web site.

On a typical Friday night I am

Sage and Sand Post-Apocalyptic RPG
Stephen Y.
Acheteur vérifié
Date Ajoutée: 01/20/2015 13:39:30
Sage & Sand is a D6 system; with each level in a particular skill giving you a D6.
For example, if you have Medic level 2, you roll 2D6, and compare the result of each D6 against the Target Number (TN) of the task.
Very Easy is 2-6, Easy task is 3-6, Average is 4-6, Difficult is 5-6, Extremely Difficult is 6.
So an Average difficulty is 4-6 on a D6.
Artwork: pencil drawn.
The PDF is printer friendly.
The system has a magic/rituals section (some of it Cthulhu based); so you could have a fantasy setting.
You could change the 'spells' to psionics with some work.
The armour section has 4 types (leather, kevlar, plate, and scale); so mostly fantasy again. You could add some modern/future types.
Weapons: mostly fantasy types again (melee p17, ranged p23).
You could give the apocalypse theme a fantasy setting, as technology is very uncommon.
Although you could use the rules to make a fantasy setting, apart from the apocalypse setting described in the book.
The publisher website has no resources, forum etc, to expand the game. It'll be up to you and the players.
All in all, not a bad system.
Out of 49 pages, 47 are the game (including contents & index list).
At £5.28, it's not too bad.

The product could have been written with a better layout, I think the author did not take enough time to make a visually appealing product. The system is ok, but the organization of the material does not folllow a logical sequence since I had to navigate up and down to find the tables I was looking for.

Roar of the Crowd Advanced Edition
Jay D.
Acheteur vérifié
Date Ajoutée: 09/12/2011 10:18:41
Gladiators battling it out in an arena is an awesome setting but Roar of the Crowd tries to take it beyond pure weapons and man by including Magic and Dragons.
It's not a bad idea to simulate a man vs magical beast but they should have either spent more time focusing of the core component of man vs man and saved the fantasy aspect for a supplement.
The biggest disappointment is in the formatting of the document: it's formatted in landscape mode but the text is a single column right in the middle of the page.
Final thoughts: meh.

This game is pretty fun and exactly what it sets out to be: A simple wargame. It's only six pages long so there's not a lot to cover. You manage resources, build buildings and attack your enemies. The rules aren't always 100% clear but are so straightforward this shouldn't be a huge problem. And for this price, how can you possible go wrong? I recommend this to anyone who isn't too picky about presentation and just wants a quick little wargame that costs about the same as a chocolate bar.

Clash of Steel Miniatures Rules Published Version 2.0
Andrew B.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Ajoutée: 06/28/2006 00:00:00
First of all, the Clash Steel PDF isn?t very pretty. The only graphics are a smattering of uninspiring clip art selections. The entire thing is presented on a pseudo parchment brown background, which looks terrible when printed in greyscale. There is also some wasted space, and some of the charts could have been better organized. This is a small press publication, and I understand that, so I?m willing to look past the presentation and focus on the rules. Still, in a world of free PDF generators and open-source word processing programs, I can?t help but think the book?s rough appearance could have been easily polished.
For my playtest, I decided to pit a small group of human rabble against a host of well-trained elven archers. The idea was to pit superior numbers against a small force of well-trained troops. When designing my armies, I can across my first problem: how many points should I use? The book doesn?t give you any idea what the rules consider to be an ?average? force. Without any frame of reference, I simply picked an arbitrary number: 500. The resulting army was too small at that number, so I doubled it to 1,000. The two 1,000 point armies looked something like this:
Humans: 20 spearmen, 10 archers, 1 scout, and a mounted knight commander.
Elves: 10 archers, 9 light cavalry, 1 wizard commander.
Not a massive host by any means, but a respectable clash of some 50 participants. More rules issues came up while I was developing the Elven force. First, I found the rules for wizards somewhat unclear. The way they are written, with a few rules before the spell descriptions and few after, makes for slightly confusing reading.
My second problem dealt with mounted characters. Adding a mount to a figure adds about 15 points (a human soldier with no weapons or armor costs 10 points). The book then gives you stats for mounts, but doesn?t tell you how those stats interact with the stats of the rider. For example, it?s fairly obvious that a mounted character should use his horse?s movement rate instead of his own. But what if the horse has a better protection value (i.e. armor)? Can enemies attack the horse, just the rider, or either? In the case of the warhorse, it?s a better fighter than a human armed with a shortsword, so why give the horse a rider at all? I can think of lots of metagame reasons why a horse must have a rider, but the rules don?t really support them.
While I was actually playing, I found myself forced to improvise a lot of rules using previous wargame experience and common sense as a guide. When it came to movement, I had to assume that units (groups of more than 3 figures) move as a cohesive whole. The rules don?t actually say. Another vague area was the rules for commanders. A commander gets a higher initiative score, grants a reroll, costs an extra 20 points?and apparently does nothing else. The rules are unclear on who exactly gets the reroll. Can I apply it to any of my figures once a round, or is it only the leader? Most wargames give commanders certain bonuses that they can impart on nearby troops, or at least give some meaningful penalty for losing a leader. In Clash of Steel, the only thing that happens if your commander dies is you lose your reroll. The book does say ?some objectives for battle missions might include killing the enemy army?s commander.? Great! Except, what is a battle mission? What other objectives might they have? I guess that?s up to you, since the rules are completely silent on the matter.
There are a lot of other rules missing from the game. The spell ?Sun Rays? grants immunity to the breath weapons of blue dragons, but Clash of Steel provides no game stats for dragons, blue or otherwise. Where are the rules for charging? What benefit does flanking provide?
And then, there?s morale. To me, morale is one of the most fundamentally important aspects of warfare simulation. Few battles in reality end with one side killing off all the members of the other. In Clash of Steel, unfortunately, the morale system is just a quick, tacked-end paragraph that?s clearly labeled as optional. The system is overly simplistic and not very satisfying.
Victory itself is totally ambiguous. The rules mention that the players may agree to a certain number of turns before hand, but they give no clear means of establishing which player is the winner when the agreed upon number of turns expire. In the end, it?s apparently up to you. Clash of Steel has done about half the work for you, and leaves a lot of decisions and interpretations up to the players.
The strengths of Clash of Steel lie in the book?s only stated goal: fast and easy to learn. It?s very fast, at least partially because most characters die pretty quickly. Combat is fairly intuitive and uses an easy to learn system of hits and saves. Unfortunately, there?s very little to make Clash of Steel stand above other wargames on the market. It?s fast and easy to learn, but it really lacks depth.
There are hints of cool things in some of the supplementary rules. The rules for sieges are clever, although obviously suited to very small skirmishes. The looting and destiny rules are kind of neat as well. None of this really makes up for the rules that are lacking from the core of the game.
: The main strength of this game is its simplicity. The combat mechanics are quick to learn and work pretty well on the battlefield. If you?re looking for a very quick and dirty set of rules for running a miniatures battle, you may find something you like here.
: Clash of Steel feels like it was written rather hastily. While the core of the system (roll to hit, target then rolls a save) works pretty well, the rest of the rules are overly simplistic or incomplete. Some of the most common aspects of wargames (meaningful commanders, tactical bonuses, morale) are incomplete. There is very little advice on running a campaign, setting up a battle, or how to use these rules in general. In the final analysis, I really can?t recommend Clash of Steel.
: Disappointing
: Disappointed

We are sorry you didn't like our ruleset. A couple of issues/rules are left for the player to decide and create, I agree. But this is one of the main points of the game, fast and quick-to-learn (like you mention). Also, it is intended as a springboard, to be intended to inspire the buyer to invent new rules and make the game as complex as they see fit. Morale will be covered in a later supplement, but it was covered only slightly in version 2.0 for a reason. Most wargamers we have played with do not it when like half their army runs away in the game. They say they didn't paint minis and put them on the board to not have them fight. Yes this is unrealistic. But the genres for these rules are fantasy and science fiction. Again, thank you for the comments and the game will updated later this year.

Although the format of this file is not the most attractive, read the rules. After reading the rules, you may still be a little afraid to play Clash of Steel. Swallow your fear. I finally had a chance to playtest Clash of Steel using the Sci Fi rules. I was very surprised on how well the game played out on the tabletop. My initial reaction to the rules was less than favorable, but after playing the game, I was wrong. The rules work very well. I intially was afraid that the point values for vehicles were way out of sync with the point costs of troops, but during the playtest everything seemed to make sense and point costs appear to be well balanced. The rules lend themselves to be a quick play and I will be adding some of my own homegrown rules to the next battle I play...this is exactly what the game designer intends. I highly recommend Clash of Steel and I look forward to testing the Fantasy part of the rules in the near future.
: Easy to learn and play, rules are easily adaptable to do whatever you what to do on the tabletop.
: Format, it really could use some upgrading. The only reason I am not rating this product five stars is due to the format/appearance. Also, just a side note, I would love to see the website updated.
: Very Good
: Very Satisfied

A pretty good set of versatile rules for mini wargaming.
: It's generic enough that you can mess around with it, and create pretty much any sort of army.
: The only downside is, no one's heard of it. It's hard to find people willing to try it out.

I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by this ruleset. I purchased it a while back with some other generic rulesets and didn't print & read it because the format seemed a bit Bleah!
However after some coaxing from a friend, we sat down a played a game between two fantasy armies. We were both impressed! The game flowed very smoothly and looking up rules was quick and simple, even tho' we were unfamiliar with them.
Clash of Steel has all of the normal stuff like unit statistics, game sequence and combat resolution, but it also has the different racial values and special rules. It has scrolls, potions, spells, magic items, artillary, weapons, armour and dragons. It has rules for nightfighting, science fiction conversions, vehicles, buildings and creating your own aliens.
All in all a comprehensive ruleset, contained in 42 pages.
I haven't tried the science fiction battles but if you like fantasy gaming this is a must have!

This is a good little game. I think it could be presented better but the actual gameplay and rule mechanics are excellent for the price. If you are looking for a fast simple space action game, you cannot go wrong with this one. I would recommend purchasing the expansion "For a Fistful of Fusion (Astral Conflict Supplement One)" to give you more options for the game.

Pretty bare bones 'game' which probably shouldn't be sold for profit. It should probably be distributed for free and then, when the rules develop to a point beyond a 'rules system' that most gamers could come up with in an hour off the top of their head, it could be reasonably sold for a profit. But for a dollar, what do you expect, I guess. I wouldn't buy it again, and only did the first time out of curiosity.

Astral Conflict makes an excellent starfighter simulation game. It does not try to fit into any particular universe, which lends the game a high degree of flexibility. This is also reflected in the ship desigh system which despite initial clams, is limited to fighter craft. The only thing that lets it down for me are the targeting systems, requiring different dice to make the to-hit roll.

Why does IE hate my website?
Why does IE hate my website? I've got it looking decent in Safari and Firefox, but it looks hideous in Explorer. Having done a fair amount of Googling, I've come to the conclusion that it's probably related to one of Explorer's notorious CSS rendering bugs, but my self-taught CSS and HTML is not enough to enable me to pinpoint and solve the problem.

Is there a good skill-swapping website?
Can anybody recommend a good skill-bartering website? I'm a writer, and I've spent the past week tearing my hair out in an unsuccessful attempt to debug the website I'm putting up for my new humor book. I have a feeling that the remaining bugs are something a professional web designer could fix in a day. Meanwhile, there must be webdesigners out there who could use a writer's help in making their sites better written and/or funnier. Googling has turned up a ton of barter sites, but I don't know which (if any) are reputable and useful. [more inside]

Quality of American Life, 1971 Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research 1984 attitudes dissatisfaction family life friendships happiness health behavior home environment job satisfaction leisure life plans life satisfaction lifestyles living conditions occupational status optimism personal adjustment personal finances pessimism psychological wellbeing quality of life recreation social behavior social life social networks 1984-05-10 1992-02-16 1971 observational data; survey data 3508 1 The purpose of this study was to survey Americans about perceived quality of life by measuring perceptions of their socio-psychological condition, their needs and expectations from life, and the degree to which those needs were satisfied. The data were collected via personal interviews from a nationwide probability sample of 2,164 persons 18 years of age and older during the summer of 1971. Closed and open-ended questions were used to probe respondents' satisfactions, dissatisfactions, aspirations, and disappointments in a variety of life domains, such as dwelling/neighborhood, local services (e.g., police, roads, and schools), public transportation, present personal life, life in the United States, education, occupation, job history/expectation, work life, housework, leisure activities, organizational affiliations, religious affiliation, health problems, financial situation, marriage (including widowhood, divorce, and separation), children/family life, and relationships with family and friends. In addition to broad questions about satisfaction with each of these domains and their importance to the respondents, specific sources of gratification and frustration are explored. Other questions focused on life as a whole and the extent to which respondents felt they had control over their lives (e.g., rating of various aspects of life, (dis)satisfaction with life, personal efficacy, and social desirability measures). Personal data include sex, age, race, ethnic background, childhood family stability, military service, and father's occupation and education. Observational data are included on housing and neighborhood characteristics as well as respondents' appearance, intelligence, and sincerity. An instructional subset of this study is also available (see ICPSR INSTRUCTIONAL SUBSET: QUALITY OF AMERICAN LIFE, 1971 [ICPSR 7516], also prepared by Campbell, Converse, and Rodgers.) It includes questions representative of the major areas covered in the original, longer survey. A related dataset, QUALITY OF AMERICAN LIFE, 1978 (ICPSR 7762), continues the survey conducted in 1971.

Gold gained, paring last week's decline, as investors bought the precious metal as a haven asset after China's data trailed forecasts, sparking a selloff in industrial raw materials.
Spot gold advanced as much as 0.4 percent to $1,388.41 an ounce before trading at $1,386.04 as of 10:48 a.m. Singapore time. Prices ended down 2.2 percent on June 7, the worst close since May 15, after data showed U.S. employers took on 175,000 workers in May, beating the 163,000 median forecast in a Bloomberg survey. Silver increased as much as 0.9 percent today.
China's industrial output rose a less-than-forecast 9.2 percent in May from a year earlier and factory-gate prices fell for a 15th month, while export gains were at a 10-month low and imports dropped, data released over the weekend show. That sent copper and rubber down. Gold has dropped 17 percent this year, entering a bear market in April as economic optimism increased speculation that the U.S. Federal Reserve may scale back its monetary stimulus.
"Investors are cutting copper and some other agricultural commodities because of the China data and buying gold instead," Chae Un Soo, a metals trader at Korean Exchange Bank Futures Co. in Seoul, said by phone today. He expects gains to be capped at $1,420 this week amid speculation on the Fed's stimulus policy.
Alan Greenspan, a former Fed chairman, said on CNBC television last week that the central bank needs to begin cutting back on its unprecedented asset purchases and move toward stopping them altogether. The central bank currently buys $85 billion of Treasury and mortgage debt a month.
Speculators raised their net-long position on gold by 19 percent to 57,113 futures and options by June 4, the highest in seven weeks, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show.
Gold held in exchange-traded products fell 1.3 metric tons to 2,135.866 tons as of June 7, the lowest since May 2011, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Cash silver traded 0.5 percent higher at $21.7715 an ounce after declining 4.4 percent on June 7, the biggest drop at close since April 15. Spot platinum lost 0.3 percent to $1,497.10 an ounce and palladium fell 0.2 percent to $755.90 an ounce.

Review for Foundation For Second Chances, Los Angeles, CA, USA
I was introduced to the Foundation for Second Chances some years ago when my niece and nephews were students in the after school program. Upon meeting the founder, Melissa Wyatt, I understood the driving force behind the program and the commitment to the children the organization serves. The people who work for the FFSC are a heartfelt bunch with a dedication that is unparalleled. All of the programs that are spearheaded by the FFSC are not only beneficial to the students in the programs, but the community at large, and that is truely the way to positively impact a community. I am committed to supporting the FFSC's efforts and have pulled family and friends into the fold. If more people reach out to give and get helping hands for this cause, we all win.
The organization has several initiatives including the following:
* After school educational program
*Community beautification days
*Mentoring program
*Annual community health fair
*Annual Gift of Giving holiday event
Each program addresses a specific concern, and together create a more comprehensive approach to building a better community.

JIS Z 2801 Test for Antimicrobial Activity of Plastics
The JIS Z 2801 method tests the ability of plastics and other antimicrobial surfaces to inhibit the growth of microorganisms or kill them. The procedure is very sensitive to antimicrobial activity. It involves inoculating the antimicrobial surface with a moderate, standardized microbial population, then covering it with a plastic film to prevent evaporation over the course of the contact time, which is usually 24 hours. After the contact time, percent reductions are calculated.
The JIS Z 2801 procedure has been adopted as an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) procedure, ISO 22196.
Summary of the JIS Z 2801 Test
- The test microorganism is prepared, usually by growth in a liquid culture medium.
- The suspension of test microorganism is standardized by dilution in a nutritive broth (this affords microorganisms the potential to grow during the test).
- Control and test surfaces are inoculated with microorganisms, in triplicate, and then the microbial inoculum is covered with a thin, sterile film. Covering the inoculum spreads it, prevents it from evaporating, and ensures close contact with the antimicrobial surface.
- Microbial concentrations are determined at "time zero" by elution followed by dilution and plating.
- A control is run to verify that the neutralization/elution method effectively neutralizes the antimicrobial agent in the antimicrobial surface being tested.
- Inoculated, covered control and antimicrobial test surfaces are allowed to incubate undisturbed in a humid environment for 24 hours.
- After incubation, microbial concentrations on are determined. Reduction of microorganisms relative to initial concentrations and the control surface is calculated.
Strengths of the JIS Z 2801 Test
- The method is quantitative and results tend to be reproducible, provided the inoculum does not spill off of the target area after being covered with the thin film.
- The method tests for both bacteriostatic (growth-inhibiting) and bactericidal (bacteria-killing) properties.
- Microbial concentrations are standardized, and bacteria are provided with nutrients during the incubation period, which provides them with ample opportunity to grow if surfaces aren't sufficiently antimicrobial. This is in contrast to certain other antimicrobial tests, where microbes are "incubated" in non-nutritive suspensions, which itself may be stressful over long periods.
- The method stipulates triplicate experimentation, which helps researchers estimate the precision of the individual tests and increases overall experimental accuracy.
- The method includes a "pass/fail" criterion for the calculated levels of antimicrobial activity observed in test samples, making determinations of antimicrobial activity less discretionary.
Weaknesses of the JIS Z 2801 Test
- The JIS Z 2801 method is not necessarily representative of actual surface contamination events, since a relatively dilute liquid microbial inoculum is spread over a considerable surface area, and then is kept wet (usually for a period of 24 hours). Most of the time, microbial contaminants dry quickly onto surfaces. This limits the time that an aqueous medium is available to facilitate interaction between the antimicrobial surface and microorganisms. This means that JIS Z 2801 is a "best-case" sort of test for many products.
- It is not uncommon for "control" plastics to exert low-level antimicrobial activity, so identification of an ideal control surface may be challenging.
Though the JIS Z 2801 test is somewhat "best-case," it is an excellent way to quantify the antimicrobial activity level of an antimicrobial surface, especially one that is hydrophobic. Among the various tests for antimicrobial activity of surfaces, this has emerged as one of the industry standards.

Philippe, I'm not sure if there's someway of adjusting the tension, I'd have to try and find my De Vere service manual. Usually with Durst's there's a friction pad to stop enlarger creep and this wears over time and needs adjusting, but I've not had a problem with a De Vere.
You can lock the head or focus with the knobs at the back just above the baseboard at the back, where the column attaches to the base.

Bar Weranda
After walking around looking for a place to have lunch we realised that some places were still closed due to the recent flood of the Vistula river. This is why in front of this veranda restaurant the road was also very wet.
The food at the Bar Weranda was quite nice and very reasonable priced. There were constantly new local people showing up for their meal.
You actually order at the counter and pay there too. Then you take your seat outside and the lady shouts out which dishes are ready. There is a clean toilet inside.
Favorite Dish: I chose a schnitzel with pineapple and french fries. We both ordered fries and I think the fries were included already but we paid one additional lot. Either we got more or got fries instead of some other potatoes. Since the menu was in Polish only and the lady didn't speak any English we simply didn't know but quite often in Poland you need to order your fries etc. extra. My dish cost 18 PLN.
Knajpa U Fryzjera: Good Jewish Cooking
The restaurant is located in a wooden building which at first appears to be on the small side. Once you get inside though there are some winding stairs that lead to an upper area too. It feels like being in a country cottage and is decorated in an apporpriate style. There are candles on the table adding to the ambience.
Favorite Dish: Pekelflajsz - Beef brisket with a hint of garlic served with eye watering horseradish and beetroot. There must have beenhalf a kilo of beef on my plate. I managed to eat two of the three slices ... little brother was on hand to demolish the third one. The meat was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth.
We'd eaten so much with the starter and main course that there was no room for dessert ... so we rounded off the meal with a shot of sliwowica.

See the tips below: General restaurant tip
There's lots of cafes, bars and restaurants in Kazimierz Dolny, but you'll miss out on quite a few interesting ones if you stick just to the market ...
Frankly, I do prefer the places that are off the centre... The ones in the market are OK but I find them to be oriented at quantity rather than quality. If you spread out to Krakowska St. or Nadwislanska St., you'll be rewarded with really nice places that care for quality and pleasant ambience for your meals.
The town is really tiny so you can reach all these places on foot within a matter of minutes. Check the little map for directions.
TIPPING IN POLAND tip:
When you pay your restaurant bill, DO NOT say "Thank you" till the waiting staff brings your change, and only then decide how much you want to tip them.
If you thank when handing them the money, it means they can keep ALL THE CHANGE as a tip!

U Fryzjera: Another Very Popular - Jewish Style
You probably already know that for hundreds of years Kazimierz was the home of numerous Jewish society. That is why this Jewish-style restaurant is so popular among visitors.
Favorite Dish: When I visit Kazimierz I am hosted by my local family so I don't go to restaurants and I cannot give you an honest recommendation. I however took a few pictures of the menu (both in Polish and in English) so you can check what's available:

Cafe Factoria: Best coffee!
I believe that Faktoria is the best coffe house in Poland. Actually the best one I've visited ;-)
It used to be a small place with only 7 or 8 tables, warm and inviting. Recently it was throughly refurbished, made more spacious but it never left its unique atmosphere.
A huge variety of coffee is listed in a menu on the wall. You can also have a cup of tea or hot chocolate there (it's so thick, you'll need a spoon to have it). While waiting for your coffee you'll have the opportunity to see all the magic of coffee making.
Every time I visit Kazimierz I go to Faktoria at least once.
Favorite Dish: Great variety of coffee is available so I do my best to test all they offer :-)

Zielona Tawerna (The Green Tavern): One of the Most Popular Ones
As the title says, Zielona Tawerna (The Green Tavern) is one of the most popular restaurants in Kazimierz. This could be thanks to its location - on the way from the Main Market to the Vistula promenade, but also thanks to the cuisine.
In full tourist season the Tavern is overcrowded and you need to be patient as your order may be a bit late or inaccurate.
The restaurant is open Monday thru Friday 12:00-21:00 and between 10:00 till 21:00 on weekends.
Favorite Dish: I must admit that I never had the opportunity to dine there. This is because my parents-in-law live in Kazimierz so for me there's no use visiting restaurants.
Here's an extract from the menu:
- shrimp avocado 18 zl,
- delicate fish soup 15 zl,
- broccoli soup 15 zl,
- tagliatelle gorgonzola 19 zl,
- mozarella tomatoes 17 zl,
- spinach with potatoes and egg 18 zl,
- steak with green pepper sauce 49 zl,
- vanilla ice cream on fruit mousse 11 zl,
- espresso 6 zl,
- hot apple pie with ice cream 12 zl,
- tea 5 zl.
- Romantic Travel and Honeymoons
- Family Travel
Numerous places: Beer and sausage
Restaurants and bars similar to this one are extremely popular in Kazimierz. They are located by the banks of the Vistula and usually open in full season.
Here you can have a glass of beer, grilled sausage or fish. Prices are reasonable but the conditions for your meal could be better.

Herbaciarnia U Dziwisza: Best Tea in Town
This is one of the most popular tea houses in Poland and definetely the most popular one in Kazimierz. "U Dziwisza" is visited by tourists from all over the world.
Here you'll find a very special atmosphere, ecclectic interiors (i call them messy), usually crowds of people and a wide variety of tea, coffee and hot chocolate.
The prices are acceptable and the service is very good.

Herbaciarnia "U Dziwiaza": Would you like a cup of tea?
This is the most charming place to relax over a cup of tea in all of Kazimierz Dolny. It's a popular spot....with good reason. Each table has a different set of cream and sugars, there is a variety of tea pot and tea cup styles...very ecclectic and delightful. Table covers vary from rugs to lace.

the rooster in the evening
Another view of the entrance to the little Rooster restaurant. Definately visit...for breakfast, lunch, or supper. I don't think you will be disappointed with the quality or the price. Center of town...can't miss it. You can have your lunch in the patio area with a cold beer in the warm weather.
- Beer Tasting
U FRYZJERA Pierogarnia: Great selection of dumplings
This dumplings place is in the side yard by the U Fryzjera restaurant, and what a selection of dumplings (pierogi) it has! At less than 20 zloty ($5) you have a portion big enough to satisfy your hunger.
Try the ones with meat or wild mushrooms and have some Polish beer to go with tem :-) Or if you prefer a sweet version of pierogi, the best choice is the ones with blueberries... yummy!
- Arts and Culture
Zielona Tawerna (the Green Tavern): Great ambience for lunch or dinner!
This is definitely my favourite restaurant in Kazimierz Dolny! It is in a lovely old house with a garden, so you can sit inside, on the porch or in the garden (weather permitting).
Each table is different, and you may find that even the chairs at your table are all different. Old furniture and interior design makes you feel like you are back in the 1920s. Great cuisine and excellent service!
The Green Tavern sirloin is at 38 zloty ($10)
Pierogi (dumplings) at 18 zloty (around $4)

Piekarnia Sarzynski: Great breakfast....wonderful pastry ~2003
We took breakfast in this delectable little restaurant / bakery. I wished that I could have eaten a little of everything in their display cases. One of their specialties is a bread which is made in the shape of a rooster...like the statue outside the restaurant. It's traditional. I was told the legend but I'm afraid the story made little sense to me...so I just enjoyed the fact that there was a legend which seemed to bring joy and good business to this little establishment.

Grill w Domu Michalakow - Michalak's Grill: Kazimierz Dolny. Restaurants, Bars, Pubs
On the menu: various meats and grilled fish dishes, a lavish salad bar and delicious soups. The restaurant is located in a side pavilion of a manor house but, when the weather is nice, one can take the meals in the colorful garden.
- Food and Dining
Dom Restauracyjny Sarzynskich: A bakery and a restaurant
OK, the name is long, so what? :-) Just remember the last word SARZYNSKI, the name of the owners. Plus, you'll recognise the place easily for the huge gander outside.
I selected only the 'local' theme for this restaurant but they do breakfasts, lunches, dinners and they have a cafe-bar and their own bakery for delicious bread and pastry. The Sarzynskis have been keeping up the baking tradition since 1915!
Very nice interior, with all their bakery displayed so you can point your finger at what you want to buy ;-) The staff is young, nice and chatty... in Polish.
Last time I was there for breakfast - bacon & eggs with yummy bread was 6 zl ($1.5), coffee at 4.50 zl (just above $1).
In summer they also open a garden with grilled dishes and beer. During my first visit I had late lunch there - grilled meat, salad, baked potato and a beer was around 32 zl ($8).

Students with reading disabilities, blindness, and some with low vision need high quality electronic files, or e-text, of their course readings so they may have equal access to the curriculum. They may use software to receive that equal access, but only if the e-text is prepared correctly.
Disability Services is responsible for ensuring students have equal access to their required textbooks. All other course materials are the responsibility of faculty and their departments. Disability Services is happy to serve as a resource to faculty in this endeavor. Please contact Jeremy Zhe-Heimerman with any questions.
How to provide e-text for your students
The best way to provide e-text to your students is to offer them the readings as searchable PDFs, accessible websites, or accessible Word documents. Here are some tips on how to get started.
1) If you have an existing PDF, check to see if it is searchable by attempting to select the text on the page. Drag the cursor over text. If it highlights, then your document is searchable. If, instead, the cursor draws a box or tints the entire page, you will need to convert your PDF. Instructional Technologies and Design Services can show you how to create searchable PDFs through OCR in Adobe Acrobat.
2) Google the reading and/or search the library databases. Librarians can assist with this. If requesting a document through Interlibrary Loan, be sure to note that you require a "clean and searchable" copy. Don't waste time creating a new, possibly flawed, copy if a perfect one is already out there.
3) If your copy is clean (no marginalia, underlining, highlighting, etc.), a new searchable PDF can be created with a scanner. Just be sure the scan is clean and complete—no underlining, marginalia, shadows between pages obscuring the text or text cut off where page was larger than scanner. If you have an existing clean image-based PDF, you can easily make that searchable as well. Instructional Technologies and Design Services can show you how to create searchable PDFs through OCR in Adobe Acrobat.
4) If your original is of such poor quality that you cannot create a clean scan, borrow a cleaner copy from the library or a colleague before scanning.
5) Put the electronic copy in Blackboard or on reserve in library so all students may access it. If you are unable to do this, speak with the student about the best way to share large files with him or her. (They are usually too large for e-mail.)
How to do it wrong
Here are some common mistakes when creating e-text.
1) Don't scan an old Xerox that has been through multiple generations. The student's software won't be able to translate the text when the image quality is so poor. Instead, start with an original clean copy from a book or journal if an existing electronic copy is unavailable.
2) Don't scan a hard copy without making it searchable. The student's software will only "see" a file of images and won't be able to read the text aloud to the student. See above about creating searchable PDFs.
3) Don't scan a hard copy with shadows, underlining, highlighting, and/or marginalia. This will confuse the student's software, as such marks will obscure some letters, change others, and add still more. Make sure you scan a clean copy. See above for tips on how to find one if you don't have one already.
Accessible Readings and Handouts Have Other Benefits Too

Hilail Gildin, 1929 - 2015
Professor Emeritus Hilail Gildin died on March 4. He had been ill since Hallowe'en.
Hilail came to Queens College in 1961 from the University of Chicago (BA 1957, PhD 1962) where he studied under Leo Strauss. He edited and wrote an introduction for Political Philosophy: Six Essays by Leo Strauss (1975) and published his most significant work, Rousseau's Social Contract: the Design of the Argument in 1983. He founded the journal Interpretation and edited it until his death.
Hilail taught at Queens for fifty-two years, opening thousands of minds to the thoughts of the great thinkers. One of the first things he asked for after his hospitalization was Plato's Phaedo.

Refit Dreadnought.... Question?

Re: Refit Dreadnought.... Question?
Family Dog wrote:
Since the Dreadnought is of the Frans Joseph Universe I wish cautiously float an opinion which may not fly here. I'll base my comments in SFB fleet management since it is platformed on the back of FJ. Since the FJ dreadnought was the pinnacle of non-X class technology, when the X-class technology was rolled out in the TMP refit the dreadnoughts were deemed to new and too expensive to be worthy of the X-class upgrade. ( But the DN hull still saw the DN+ and the DNG upgrade to address it's initial design shortfalls.. ) With the X-class technology making old cruisers more powerful to where a Fed CA now with the warp and weapon's amplification now can match a dreadnought and smaller ships can now deliver the same performance. In other words old worn out hulls the Star Fleet can afford to gamble with on an experimental refit will get the upgrade while top of the line risky to gamble with reliable front line status would not.
I'm of the opinion that the FJ Dreadnought would not be upgraded due to the expense of upgrading the most valuable expensive hull class when the next marginally smaller new class with newer technology can match the capability of the Fed DN. Newer is cheaper to build for the capability than totally overhauling a top of the line in service unit while on active duty that would not match the capability of the newer X-class technology for the capital expenditure. One less sentry guarding the front line if you do, and a whole lot more expensive if you do exercise the option. Double loss. FWIW...
Actually, what you are saying is a very logical approach that fits well with STAR TREK cannon. In TMP, the refit Enterprise was called "an almost entirely new" ship. Years later, the new NX-2000 Excelsior was called "the Great Experiment". If upgrading to a heavier platform with more bulk, weapons, and nacelles was the answer to bolstering the Federation fleet militarily, why wouldn't the new Enterprise or Excelsior adopt the dreadnought philosophy... unless the refit Enterprise and NX-2000 Excelsior
the virtual dreadnoughts of their respective days in the first place?
I'm not dismissing the possibility of the Federation deploying a limited-production warships, but if Sisko's Defiant is any indication, a Federation warship of the TMP/pre-TNG era would likely be a relatively small, simpler design. So maybe the Federation's idea of a battlewagon would be more like a suped-up destroyer-like ship. (Kirov with armor?)

In a series of deliberately-provocative Twitter posts, the church says it is buying plane tickets to South Africa and is hoping to coordinate with South African police while they stage a protest at the funeral, citing Mandela's divorce and remarriage as evidence of damnation.
We should all chip in and wave them goodbye.

They do whatever they think is the most offensive to the most people. Forget what their name makes you think about them in terms of religion. They're at best a cult, and at worst a scam.
I grew up in Kansas where they're based and they picket anything and everything. When the whole picket gay stuff started wearing out, they switched to picketing soldier funerals. Now that the Patriot Guard shows up and blocks them from view, they are apparently looking for something else to get noticed.
It's generally considered bad form to try to use them against the other side in any argument because they are so universally despised.
