The Surgical Steel Segment Ring is a great jewelry piece you may wear in many different situations and for many different piercing types. It is a great alternative to classical Captive Bead Rings.
This ring has an ingenious design made for comfort. Instead of the usual bead, these rings have a removable curved segment. The segments fit nicely into each other, giving a perfect circular shape to the ring.
Each segment is hand-crafted to fit a particular ring. The segments have round edges made to ensure comfort.
These rings are made of high-quality 316LVM Surgical Steel so they are body-friendly, comfortable and durable.
Please note: It is recommended to get Ring Opening Pliers for large gauges (such as 8 gauge), since these rings work just like Captive Bead Rings.
Please note: All pieces are priced individually. For a pair order 2.
Customer Reviews
- It is ok Review by Arrowheadman
It is Okay cuz that little shot has little gap cause little pitch and feel like raw feel , only one week to wearing then it take off. Suspected for a while....

- Nice piece Review by Gunz
I recieved the segment ring in a matter of days. The quality is as advertised. The weight is nice. I am wearing a 4 gauge, 3/4 inch ring as a PA. The wife enthusiastically approves of the new jewelry. I am trying different styles as I continue to streatch from 8 to 0. The segment matches fairly seamlessly, but there is a slight gap on each end. I will feel it snag from time-to-time, but not enough to really bother me. If I could get that to close perfectly, I'd give it five stars.

- loose Review by phil48
The ring seems smooth on the edges and has nice finish
The segment comes out too easily, sometimes on its own.

- Great PA!! Review by jockstrapbud
LOVE the way this looks and feels! takes a little work in getting it open but once i did and put it in my cock it's been great! Several guys at the gym in the locker room have wanted to take a closer look and me being the exhibitionist that I am, I'm always happy to show it off to them and tell them to check out The Chain Gang! Very comfortable to wear and is made of high quality! Fast delivery time as always! Thank you!

- super comfortable and great quality Review by aldo
i ordered a 10g 3/4' for my p.a. super comfortable! my girlfriend prefers it when I wear curved barbells but for everyday use it is awesome. it is really easy to change out as long as you have pliers. I will definitely be ordering one of these in a bigger size when I start stretching.

- Exactly what I was expecting. Review by Customer
The quality of your products are very high quality and I am very satisfied with this one as it is easy to put into place and feels very comfortable. The only comment is that the delivery time seems a bit long.

- Excellent product Review by Bucky
Excellent product. They arrived with the segment a little loose, I imagine intentionally, so that they can be tightened up just once after the segment is removed for the first time. That would prevent excess bending of the ring. Anyway, after I removed the segment and snugged the ring a little, the segment went back in perfectly.
The finish on the ring is excellent, Fit of the segment is excellent as well. I'm very pleased.

- Excellent Review by jim
I have the 8 gauge. I like the segment rings much better than the others, which were always losing the bead and coming out when I didn't want them to. Really must have the opening pliers for heavy gauge rings.

- Just right , as always Review by Tallperson

Ordered the 2g, 3/4 ring, beautiful ring. after installing it the seams never quite met, but that happened because my inexperience and bad techniques. Not a one person installation, you will need help. Great company service too.
And thanks again for following up, you have a happy custumer here.

- love it Review by Chris
I got the 4-gauge 5/8" segment ring for my PA, and the g/friend loves and so do I. I had the same size in captive bead and in curved barbell, but I had a 6-guage before this and always preferred the segment, it's just so cool to be able to turn it. You do need the reverse pliers, but that's OK, easy to use once you get the hang of it.
(Posted on 9/25/14)
- Great product Review by Xnipec
I ordered this product In a 4 gauge 5/8" diameter for my PA. It really does require a tool to open, but that also ensures you aren't going to lose the segment. The seam is so smooth it is unnoticeable, and was an instant favourite for me and my partner. I highly recommend this product.

- Some adjustments on manufacturing needed Review by Piercedmetal
Ordered 2ga 7/8 segment nipple rings. The attached balls for closure could be shorter/flatter. I had to adjust them with a drill in my lab to get them in the ring. I have used wire cutters to remove the segments, it is easy and placed at the joint, squeeze gently, and out it pops. Good products. Have the same style, 00 ga PA.

- Beautiful piece of jewelry, but... Review by Dellbert
I bought this piece because I have always wanted one. But alas, I have won the "stupid a$$ customer" award for not reading or thoroughly comprehending what is written about the ring before you buy it, e.g., buying the pliers. I haven't been able to wear the piece because I don't have the confidence to use pliers close to my penis,...I'm just not that ballsy, especially with a 1 gauge 3/4". So as for now, it will just be a paper weight. LOL!!!

- Recommended Review by Bill
Ordered 3/4" 8g for my PA, fits good and has been very comfortable so far. I like the segmented ring better than the captive bead ring I had in before. The worst part was getting the segment out, inserting the ring and getting the segment back in, but I'm sure w/some practice that will get better. I will most probably be buying another when I'm ready for a size increase.

- 2 Gauge Requires Pliers Review by Mark
Attention: Neophytes, Beginners, Newbies and Such:
Read everything at the bottom of the page from which you order, so you don't get the Chain Gang Stupid Customer of the Month Award.
I have the dubious distinction of being a recipient of said award because I didn't see, or didn't remember reading, that you need a special pair pair of pliers when ordering Captive Bead Rings.
I drove Sara and Russ crazy with my emails questioning why, all of a sudden, after I received my order, I had to send more money to wear my jewelry.
So, here's the deal...If you don't wish to receive that award...Read, comprehend, and remember what you read. Either that, or don't drink when you order.
Sara and Russ...My humble apologies...Mark; From some place in Southern California...

I ordered the 2 gauge 5/8 captive segment ring when I was ready to stretch out my pa. The ring came quickly and looks great! Also look great in my piercing. I love the look and the weight of it hanging there. As an added plus, no captive ball to go places it shouldn't.

Had a hard time trying to get the segment inserted. Maybe a little more patience next time. Maybe it's just me, but I guess I wasn't real clear on the fact that it was only one ring. Second is now on order. I guess I should have figured it out, as the price would have been too cheap for two, given the excellent quality of the piece.

How It Works
Tamoxifen is the most commonly used hormone therapy for the treatment of breast cancer.
Many women have breast cancer that tests positive for estrogen receptors (ER+). This means that estrogen promotes the growth of the breast cancer cells. Tamoxifen blocks the effects of estrogen on these cells. It is often called an "anti-estrogen."
Tamoxifen slows or stops the growth of cancer cells that are already present in the body. It helps keep the original breast cancer from coming back and helps prevent new cancer in the opposite breast. It also reduces the risk of breast cancer in women who have a high risk for this disease.
Why It Is Used
Tamoxifen is used to prevent and treat breast cancers that test positive for estrogen receptors (ER+). It blocks the effects that the hormone estrogen has on cancer cells and lowers the chance that breast cancer will grow. Tamoxifen:
- Has been used for decades to treat patients with advanced breast cancer.
- Is used after surgery or radiation therapy for early-stage breast cancer.
- Is used to prevent breast cancer in women who are high-risk for ER+ breast cancer.
- Can be used by women of all ages, both before and after menopause.
- Is being studied for the treatment of other types of cancer.
In rare cases, tamoxifen is used to treat breast pain (mastalgia), because it reduces estrogen levels that cause breast swelling. This is an unlabeled use.
How Well It Works
Tamoxifen is highly effective in lowering the risk of breast cancer recurrence. In women who have already had breast cancer, tamoxifen also lowers the risk of breast cancer in the opposite breast (contralateral).
For postmenopausal women, a two-stage treatment using tamoxifen and then an aromatase inhibitor, such as anastrozole (Arimidex), exemestane (Aromasin), or letrozole (Femara) may work better than only taking tamoxifen.
Side Effects
The most common side effects caused by tamoxifen are hot flashes; vaginal dryness, discharge, or irritation; and reduced interest in sex. These side effects are not usually serious, but they can be bothersome.
Other side effects are rare but are more dangerous. These include:
- Overgrowth of the lining of the uterus (endometrial hyperplasia) and cancer of the lining of the uterus (endometrial cancer).
- An increased risk of blood clots in the legs (deep vein thrombosis) and the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Changes in the blood's ability to clot have been reported in patients receiving tamoxifen.
- A small increased chance of stroke.
- Ovarian cysts.
- An increased risk of cataract formation and the need for surgery for cataracts.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Because tamoxifen can cause changes in the lining of the uterus, women who use it should have yearly pelvic exams and should be evaluated further if they experience any abnormal uterine bleeding.
Tamoxifen may not work as well if a woman is also taking some types of medicine to treat hot flashes or depression. If you take tamoxifen, talk with your doctor about any other medicines you are taking.
Tamoxifen should not be used if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Talk with your doctor about birth control if you are taking tamoxifen and could become pregnant.

Gary Backaus graduated from Memphis College of Art in 1986. He is now one of the managing partners at archer>malmo, one of the region's largest and most successful advertising agencies. He answered a few questions about his choice to attend MCA.
What was your major?
Advertising Design
What's your job now?
Principal & Chief Creative Officer at archer>malmo. I help manage the creative department, and I'm ultimately responsible for all the creative work of the agency but also get very involved in clients' marketing strategy and planning. In addition, I'm a partner in a>m ventures, our early-stage investment company focused on tech startups.
What is your favorite memory or highlight from your academic career at MCA?
My favorite memories are of the relationships I had with other students and instructors. The benefit of working and learning in a tight-knit community where everyone knows everyone else was invaluable.
How do you think your studies at MCA influenced your career?
I was fortunate to learn from a wide variety of practitioners that really prepared me to work at the professional level. In fact, the first creative director to hire me at archer>malmo had been one of my adjunct professors.
What inspires you?
Seeing and learning new things. The advertising business exposes you to a lot of wildly different topics and ideas. Variety and constant change keeps it interesting.
How is your life impacted by art?
What we do is applied art—aesthetic- and idea-driven work in the service of a business objective—so we get to do that every day. But I also enjoy fine art for exposure to the totally new. It helps you keep an open mind.
What advice would you give to students pursuing or considering a degree in fine arts?
Despite what some may say about the relevance of art as a career, if you look at the global economy, creative professions are among the last to be outsourced—advertising, product design, movies, video games. Mass production may be commoditized, but the ideas—the intellectual property with the most value—are still made in the USA. Apple's products are made in China but as it says on every box: Designed in California. Art, ideas and creativity are among America's last great exports and will always be relevant.

The heat has been turned up on North Carolina's health agency secretary by legislative leaders questioning whether her office can operate the department effectively and pull off Medicaid reform.
Legislators criticized Dr. Aldona Wos and the Department of Health and Human Services during Thursday's meeting of an oversight committee. They're unhappy with delays in getting information about Medicaid spending and unrealized savings in the program.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Brown of Jacksonville asked Wos why the legislature should have confidence in carrying out the Medicaid reform proposal unveiled last week.
Wos says the agency has made great strides in operating the department since she took over but that they've been waylaid by job vacancies and employee turnover.

Cather's classic looks back at life on the Nebraska plains from the late 1800s to the turn of the century. The novel is perfect for audio - the narrative tone of reminiscence set when two life-long friends recall the adventures of their childhood. George Guidall's relaxed and unassuming presentation allows the listener to forget the narrator and enjoy the listening experience. He delivers a deep portrait of a pioneer farm community, and especially of its immigrant girls from Denmark, Sweden, and Bohemia, whom the narrator, Jim Burden, especially loves. Guidall is subtly in tune with the writing at all times.
(P)1994 by Recorded Books, Inc.; Cover Art by Tinam Valk, ©1994 by Recorded Books
But I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - J.D. Salinger ^(;,;)^
"A deep river of American writing"
I prefer Cather's 'Death Comes for the Archbishop', but 'My Antonia' is still beautiful, soothing; "a rich mine of life, like the founders of early races." Willa Cather, for me, is one of those deep rivers of American writing. Everything seems to flow gently and slow, but there is huge power and great depth in every page.
George Guidall delivers another solid narration, but the overall production quality is not very good. It sounds like it was recorded using wet equipment in a tin box.
"What pioneering REALLY meant"
Willa Cather's My Antonia is clearly an American classic, and I can recommend it on that basis alone, but beyond that story she tells, through the voice of Jim Burden, the narrator, is just riveting. Many of us have been to early American homes that are maintained by state governments or the National Park Service, and they're fine; but here is a story that tells us what days in the life of a real pioneering family was like. What was it really like to travel for more than a month (overland from Bohemia to some European port, sail across the Atlantic, take train after train to some rail head beyond Kansas City, and then by horse) to a wind blown prairie that you now had to live on, and if you didn't make up your mind to live on it you would most certainly die on it. What was it like to live in a hole in the ground during an entire Nebraska winter? Would you really like to be the very first human being to bust Nebraska sod with a plow so that you convert it into crop land? If you thought life was hard for those people, think again. It was really, really hard. But despite the harshness and the frequent tragedies in their lives, this is a story about the triumph of the human spirit.
"A wonderful book with one of my favorite readers"
The subtle relationship between Jim and Antonia.
The Nebraska winter with primitive shelters in pioneer times
He continues to be one of my favorites. His distinct voice for each character and dialect never leaves you in doubt who is speaking. He reads as if this is his story.
old lady
"Very good book with terrible reader"
It is hard to understand the reader. The volume is much below normal audible books and it is unpleasant to listen to the story because of the sound, not the story.
"A Masterpiece"
As one of the classics of American literature this book was on one of the reading lists that I did not fully appreciate. Now 50 years later I am very happy to have remembered Willa Cather's name and because the reader is so good, bought the book. What a wonderful and rewarding experience.
"My Antonia/ Rohail"
I listen to Antonia's Audio, and I think that it helped me a lot. Because by listening to this book I can understand each word of My Antonia. I think it's the great place to buy Audios for books, its cheap and best quality.

ncl vs nwml cup
Posted 23 January 2013 - 01:43 PM
Posted 23 January 2013 - 05:03 PM
this is the first topic ive posted so if its already been talked about or actually happens im sorry bare with me please. just a thort.... i knw the ncl has rep sides and is littered with good players but i also knw there are plenty of very talented players playing in the nwml. wudnt it be great if there wasa nwml rep side tht could play against a ncl rep side, weather its a ncl side picked from the top leagues or from the bottom 2 leagues and see how it went. i reckon wud get a decent crowd and sum well needed interest in the amatuer game. just a thort wot does everyone think?
Can't see the purpose in this. Why on earth wouldn't the NWML want to have a cup competition against the Yorkshire Mens League (YML)? The NCL and NWML are two completely different leagues - your suggestion would be the same as there being a specific Super League versus Championship Cup.
The NCL Rep side already have a good competition going - and agreements are already in place to have that competition against French sides. They also have there own Cup competition between NCL member clubs. The NWML can easily have a rep side playing against another Tier 4 league rather than pitching themselves against the NCL.
So, as far as I'm concerned, it would be a non-starter for me.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 06:41 PM
Views are my own and not necessarily those of Thatto Heath Crusaders!!
Posted 24 January 2013 - 10:32 AM
I would like to see a truly national cup introduced in the summer game to fill the void left by the BARLA National Cup, which is impractical for NWML, YML and NCL teams to enter. For all intents and purposes now, this is just a re-run of the Yorkshire Cup - which is a crying shame.
Should cut each NCL division down to 12 teams to create more free weeks to have a summer national cup

Enough cannot be said about the value of using sunscreen products on a daily basis, especially during long periods of sun exposure. While a tanned body can look appealing, the benefits of protecting your skin from overexposure to the sun far outweigh the sex appeal. Be sure to choose a product like one of the Glytone Suncare lotions or spray mist formulas to keep your skin protected from the sun's harmful UV rays. Daily sunscreen application, even in the winter, can keep your skin looking young and vibrant for many years to come. Likewise, spending too much time in the sun without any sun protection can dramatically speed up the aging process on your skin.
Glytone Suncare lotions and spray mist products are available with different SPF levels to suit individual skincare needs. The most important thing is to be sure your skin is protected so you can keep your gorgeous glow. Traditional sunscreen lotions by Glytone Suncare work well for all over application while the handy and convenient spray mist product works like a charm for reapplication while you're still relaxing at the beach.
Even if you aren't whisked away on a fancy vacation, it is still important to protect your skin anytime you are going to be out in the sun for more than just a few moments.
When it comes to sunbathing and relaxing outside with or without sunscreen, the decisions you make while you are young directly impact your life – and your skin – as you age. Consider all of these Glytone Suncare products to ensure you and your family are well protected from the risk of skin cancer, premature aging, and painful bouts of sunburn. Take your health and your skin's appearance in your own hands!
Glytone Sunscreen Lotion SPF 40 offers outstanding sun protection and defense against sunburns. The addition of Hyaluronic acid works to boost natural moisture levels in your skin, leaving your skin more hydrated than before you applied the sunscreen. This fragrance-free and PABA-free formula is a good choice to keep your skin safe from UV rays. Be sure to apply every two hours and anytime after swimming, towel drying, or perspiring.
Glytone Sunscreen Spray Mist SPF 50 offers a clean and more convenient alternative to the traditional tubes of sunscreen. This product sprays directly on the skin easily to effectively protect you from sunburn and the early effects of skin aging. An inventive new antioxidant technology delivers maximum protection to your skin with this special formula, which also offers full UVA and UVB protection. This spray mist sunscreen is oil-free and fragrance-free and has a special non-whitening formula. Unlike many sunscreen products, it is also non-comedogenic. This is a water-resistant sun care product that is easy to reapply in any situation – be sure to apply it generously every two hours and directly after swimming, toweling off, or perspiring.

That guy has never, ever presented himself as perfect. Maybe he didn't share his personal life on the bbs, and his persona was different here, but a bbs persona is not a person's character.

Quand ils ont dis "Vous vous asseyez," je me suis levé.
Guys, I think by "preaching about morality," he means "posting a cogent response that Bighead can't disprove because he is factually incorrect," as well as potentially "just because you're not racist means you think you're better than Bighead, you bunch of arrogant not-racist dicks."
I'm also noting for the record Bighead's complete avoidance of really everything I've said in this thread.

[Draft] Address Accessibility Early
Consider accessibility early and throughout the design process for seamless and elegant integration into web and application development projects. Incorporating accessibility from the start increases the positive impact of designing for a broad constituency while decreasing development costs associated with accessibility.
Avoid situations in which accessibility is considered only at the end of the development process. This often results in awkward, "tacked on" accessibility features that are much less effective for people with disabilities and less beneficial overall. Incorporating accessibility from the beginning of a design project is significantly easier, more effective, and less expensive than waiting until later in the project.
It is almost always better to integrate accessibility considerations throughout existing processes, rather than addressing accessibility separately. While some additional steps for accessibility may be required, most of it fits nicely within what is already being done. For example, instead of evaluating accessibility separately, integrate accessibility checks where they fit best within the current testing and quality assurance (QA) processes. That's just one example of how integrating accessibility applies all the way through a project.
This resource addresses how and where accessibility fits through the lifecycle of a web project.
Project Initiation Stage
The role of the Project Manager is vital to the success of an accessible web project. At the very start, the Project Manager needs to ensure that every stakeholder understands their role and the requirements at every stage of the project (definition, planning, development, closure).
In the initiation phase, there are several accessibility considerations that need to be addressed in the project document and which may require some research as regards legal requirements, the understanding of accessibility within the organization, the tools which are used and so forth.
Legal requirements
There may be legal requirements of the country which should be taken into consideration. Many organizations use WCAG as a target for accessibility. For example, an organization sets its target to meet WCAG 2.0 Level A and Level AA success criteria. Developing an accessibility policy is a good way to clarify and communicate its target.
The following resources provide information on:
- Accessibility standards and guidelines
- Policies relating to accessibility
- Legal and Policy Factors in Developing a Web Accessibility Business Case for Your Organization
At the same time, in order to enable continuity of the accessible site or application, an internal policy and an implementation plan should be developed. The following pages provide guidance on how to:
Discovery & Analysis
Some analysis of the level of understanding of accessibility within the organization is necessary. Stakeholders, designers, developers are all concerned. A frequent cause of accessibility barriers is simply the lack of awareness on the subject. Assess the level of accessibility knowledge and if there is need to provide training. The authoring tools, the software specifications and the technical solutions should also be considered. Estimate resources required to address the needs identified in the initial assessment. Include staff training, software replacement, testing, retrofitting of site, monitoring of site, etc., as needed.
The following resources provide some guidance on the essential aspects pertinent to accessibility requirements gathering:
- Ensure that everyone knows what accessibility means and that accessibility is a requirement, in particular, stakeholders, even if an official policy is not yet available
- Evaluate the accessibility support in design and development tools for the project
Technical specifications
In drafting the technical specifications, once the standard and level of conformance is agreed upon, this will need to be documented in some or all of the following areas:
- Software specifications
- Design specifications
- Functional design specifications
- User acceptance criteria
Incorporating accessibility from the beginning of a website development or redesign process is almost always significantly easier, less expensive, and more effective than making accessibility improvements to an existing site later as a separate project. When accessibility is only addressed late in design, it can be very costly to make required design changes. Furthermore, retrofitting sites can be a long process. Therefore, include accessibility into the budget at the start of the project.
- Plan a budget and schedule to include people with disabilities as collaborators in the project
- Budget for testing accessibility in case resources are not available within the organization
- Budget for training and/or hiring in order to develop accessibility knowledge and skills
Design Stage
Designers are responsible for the design and user interface of web pages and applications. It is important to recognize that accessibility is not only an issue for developers and programmers. People who are knowledgeable about accessibility must work together with designers throughout the project life cycle to understand relationships that help the team collectively develop an accessible, usable, and quality product.
Choosing accessible technologies to begin with makes the process much more intrinsically accessible. Evaluating early design prototypes helps to validate design aspects that work well, and to find potential accessibility barriers while it is still relatively easy and inexpensive to fix them.
In the role of Web Designer, a number of tasks associated with quality control of the design - e.g. graphical and user interfaces, navigational elements, contextual changes and other general design elements of content pages - are of relevance and should be checked for conformance to accessibility standards and best practices.
Evaluate Accessible Design
Effective evaluation during the design period can include:
- Establishing clear requirements for the expected accessibility conformance level
- Ensuring common understanding among team members
- Involvement in initial planning meetings for the site
- Agreeing on a review schedule during the development process
- Providing information on evaluation approaches so that the developers can at least do preliminary reviews on their own
Initial Mock-ups
Even before coding begins, wireframes or visual mock-ups can be evaluated through early screening by performing checks on
- information architecture
- color scheme
- contrast of colors
- alerts for planned dynamic interactions
At this early stage, accessible design elements can be built into the project to allow stakeholders to understand from the start where and why changes are introduced.
Content Creation
Content that is easily understood and available to persons with disabilities is a fundamental aspect of web accessibility. Accessible content requires little effort and increases usability at large. Websites and web tools that are designed for people with a broad range of abilities will benefit everyone, including people without disabilities.
If content is created with accessibility in mind, all users will be included, for example,
- if audio content, such as videos with voices and sounds, contain captions or transcripts, this will enable people with auditory disabilities to access the information
- if navigation mechanisms and page layouts are simple, they are much easier to understand and use by persons with cognitive disabilities
- if sufficient time is given to respond or to complete a task, such as to fill out an online form, this will ensure that persons with physical disabilities are not time-barred
- if websites offer alternative means of communication, such as including e-mail and feedback forms, this will ensure that persons with speech disabilities are not confined to contact by phone and can, therefore, interact
- if text, images, and page layouts can be resized, this will ensure that persons with visual impairment can also benefit and access the information
Diversity of web users describes the types of disabilities, situations, problems and remedies to making content accessible.
- Address Accessibility Early
Development Stage
The implementation is the last part of the process of building a site or application, but that does not mean that developers should not be involved early. They often have a broad knowledge of usability and accessibility issues as everything from the product owner's and content writer's requirements to the user experience designer's vision of the product are filtered through them.
Make sure to use developers to spot issues that would normally only be caught at the development stage as early as possible.
Pre-Development Checklist
Checklists often work well for the developer mindset, and can be useful at the product requirements and design stage.
{I think this is too specific and we don't want to be this prescriptive — Shawn.
If we do keep a list, then need to separate technical aspects from content aspects as usually different groups — Andrew}
{Hopefully dealt with in latest changes — Ian}
The items on the checklist will vary depending on the project, so during the planning stage give some time to creating your list. It does not need to be exhaustive, as it is not possible to anticipate all possibilities, but should aim to cover the mostly likely points.
Before you start development you should make sure that all of the questions on your checklist have been answered.
An example list might include:
- exact foreground and background colours - tab order - focus handling - focus styles - alt text for images - additional hidden content for AT where required - placeholder / summary / title text where required - error message text and placement where required
A great place to start when designing your project's checklist is WCAG 2.0 Appendix B: Checklist. If you are confident that you have all of the information you need to meet all of it's points, or a list of the answers you need to ask, then your checklist is complete.
The Development Cycle
{This section needs editing to be less specific and prescriptive. Could present the steps as an example.}
{Hopefully dealt with in latest changes — Ian}
{This section doesn't seem to address the typical information site where the templates are developed for use within a CMS along with most scripting and the CSS, and then the content is added — Andrew}
{Hopefully dealt with in latest changes — Ian}
The development stage can make or break the accessibility of a project. A good development workflow with a focus on accessibility can find problems before the QA phase, or worse, before users find them.
As with the pre-development checklist there is no single correct development cycle, and will vary based on the feature being implemented, environments available for testing (including desktop and mobile devices), and other factors.
Here is an example development cycle. Not all of these steps would need to followed on every iteration or for every feature, but all of the testing points in your development cycle should be hit at least once for each release.
- Markup content - Test simple keyboard (tab and return keys) interaction without CSS - Add CSS - Test with text increase 200% - Test with screen reader / keyboard - Add JavaScript enhancement - Test with screen reader / keyboard - Re-factor and repeat
Some times you won't have all of the content, for example when developing a template for a CMS. In that case follow your development cycle as normal, but when you come to add the content modify it to only apply to the markup output, and not to interactions.
Quality Assurance
If possible it is a good idea to test iterations of your product with real users during the development phase. See the #Quality_Plan section for more information.
Quality Plan
{Making this a separate section, as developers are not usually (and should not primarily be) responsible for QA — Ian}
Iteratively test for accessibility throughout the development process.
- Include accessibility testing stages in the quality assurance plan
- Web Accessibility Preliminary Evaluation provides detailed guidance on how to check accessibility
- Consider developing a Compliance Matrix
Whilst accessibility evaluation is performed with a combination of tools, services and experts, there are many benefits to evaluating with real people to learn how your website or web tool really works and to better understand accessibility issues.
- Evaluating with users with disabilities and with older users identifies usability issues that are not discovered by conformance evaluation alone.
- Involving users early in web projects ensures better and easier accessibility
- Involving users with disabilities and having accessibility specialists evaluate in planned repairs can catch any problems before they are propagated throughout your site.
Including users throughout the development process to complete sample tasks on prototypes can assist in understanding how the different aspects of the design and coding can be improved.
Content Creation
{Andrew to add some notes here - see also earlier draft for ideas}
Project Closure
In the project sign-off, include the sign-off for accessibility conformance and celebrate this as an achievement in the project launch.
Document the lessons learned in implementing accessibility. This can be a very useful source of information in the post project phase and for other projects within the Organization.
Post Project
In order to maintain a level of conformance, a post project plan should be in place to ensure that
- regular checks are performed for continued accessibility
- all aspects of implementation plan for effectiveness are periodically reviewed
- new barriers are not introduced when redesigns or updates are planned
- accessibility knowledge of staff is a continued requirement (offer repeated training opportunities as staff and responsibilities change)

Open issues & Comments
...comment {name}
OPEN: Need to look more closely at the content of this new page and the content that we currently have elsewhere to decide what to do with it. (Vicki has incorporated some of it already.)
current related material in other documents listed below
Would some of the information in other documents move to this page, and we would delete it on those pages and point to it here? Or would it be handle differently?
- My tendency is to integrate and reduce the number of documents, but related documents will have to be reviewed and decided as this one develops.{Sharron}
- Where information in other documents is particularly relevant, introduce passages (with some minor modifications) into this document and point to the other relevant documents through links within the text. I wouldn't do away with the other documents unless something is totally out of date.{Vicki}
Just some thoughts for consideration {Suzette}
Vicky and Ian have made a good start on an important topic. It is good to have clearly defined roles and stages and references out to appropriate documents that will support getting accessibility in at the earlier planning stages. Design process: My comments mainly relate to how we conceptualise the design processes being applied to web design and development.
I think it would help if we could establish an agreed process strategy. Some people may still mash a website overnight but it is hard to help people improve quality when they are not being systematic – unless they are really, really good!
I think we should broadly assume and establish that designing today's sophisticated websites demands a relatively formal multi-stage design process. This will allow accessibility issues to be addressed early and at each stage, and is why we are writing this document.
Essential to set the tone – the two key points to sell the benefits of early intervention AND that this document establishes a strategy for early and continuing engagement.
This is a good place to establish something about having a systematic process eg: "Best practice in web design shows that it is important to follow a systematic design process, and for accessibility issues to be addressed at each stage"
Project initiation stage:
This seems to be linked to the Project Manager and picks up on the legal case – although it could equally well pick up on the pages on the Business Case. The output of this stage appears to be a policy document on accessibility. Stage naming: We've named this stage Project Initiation but then in the 1st paragraph the stages are defined as definition, planning, development and closure. It would be neat to correlate these stages in the text description with our chosen headings. My suggestion for discussion is: Project planning, Design, Development. See comments later about Quality plan, Project closure and post project which are also planning issues
Design Stage:
Linked to role of Designer. Good to bring in aesthetic design and content creation, and essential to talk about mock-ups and prototype testing, and opportunities to talk to representative disabled people and accessibility experts.
Maybe also consider 'how' the content is delivered - especially in relation to multi-media and interactive elements. Where else can you consider needs of low literacy, print impairments as well as visual impairment, and keyboard only use?
Development stage:
Linked to role of Developer – some confusion here about scope and timing of this role.
Alternatives to the waterfall model of design process: Some design processes like Agile are much more comfortable with the expectation of parallel development. Maybe we can establish that design and development stages are fully interlinked. Maybe also need to establish the relationship with the content creators, I'm sure the PR and marketing people start to get involved especially in medium to large government sites or media heavy commercial sites.
Check and test lists: Pre-development checklist and the development cycle list both seem too detailed. Maybe just have one and go higher level eg Content, style, design, features, navigation. Can then point to our other stuff on evaluation such as the Preliminary Evaluation.
Preliminary Evaluation – I'm not sure that we have this group fully in mind. They are going to have to deal with some quite complex decisions which we have currently excluded as too difficult to describe simply. Good also to repeat about testing the later stage mock-ups and prototypes, and simulations as part of development not Quality testing.
Final stages:
Quality plan, Project Closure and Post project. Quality is iterative but otherwise these are not about 'early' as such, but belong with the project manager and could be dealt with in the planning/initiation stage.
Review and Comments {Wayne 14 Dec}
This is excellent for the need: a high level overview of fully integrated accessibility at initial stages.
I was confused by the sentence: "Some analysis is necessary in order to assess the level of accessibility within the organization." To what organizational entity does accessibility refer?
Comment from Vicki: Wayne, I've modified the wording. Below is the old paragraph.
Old version: Some analysis is necessary in order to assess the level of accessibility within the organization. The authoring tools, the software specifications and the technical solutions should all be considered. A frequent cause of accessibility barriers is simply that web developers are not aware that they should make websites accessible.
I do think the check lists are essential, but I'm not sure how to address Shawn's issue with prescription. Perhaps these check lists need be introduced as a getting contrite phase of design. When you are at phase X you should consider issues like ... [check list]. It might be made clear that this list is neither exhaustive nor mandatory. However, omission of lists makes the document to abstract and vague.
I don't understand refactor in this context.
Comments - Closed
[Closed] In the "Introduction", second paragraph, I would like to suggest removing the following sentences:
"As an example, consider a building that is architecturally planned for accessibility from the beginning and has a wheelchair-accessible entrance that fits with the building design aesthetically and practically. Compare that to a building with a ramp added on after the building was already designed and the ramp looks awkward and is less useful to all."
I think a shorter introduction with focus on guidance in the framework of a web project is more likely to grasp attention. {Vicki}
[closed] Do we want to develop a new document, or do existing documents cover it sufficiently?
Decision: Develop new document.
Existing documents listed below
- A new document that integrates key points from all of the others would be useful. However, it will only be so if we can keep it focused and quite clear. {Sharron}
- Agree with the above approach of Sharron{Vicki}
- ...comment {name}
[closed] If new document, what should be the scope?
Decision: Broad scope - accessibility early & throughout.
Should it focus only on evaluation throughout design & development process, or more broadly addressing including accessibility from early and throughout in all projects?
- A comprehensive approach seems best to me, but we should be conscious (and vigilant) about length and scope creep. {Sharron}
- A broad approach addressing where accessibility fits through the project, i.e., at the start, during, after but careful about length and style. It should act as guidance to the valuable other information already available.{Vicki}
- ...comment {name}
[closed] If new document, how long and how detailed?
Decision: Keep as short. Not detailed. Link to existing material elsewhere, or that might developed elsewhere.
Would we just give general guidance, or would we include specific steps and tasks that apply broadly?
- I like the tendency that I am seeing in relating the content here to the roles that were developed earlier this year. I would caution against too much specificity unless we also commit to a schedule of updates and revisions to keep the information current and accurate{Sharron}
- Not a lengthy document, if possible. Keep it to the point and reference to the other valuable information already available under WAI. Later, once webplatform docs has some tips and trick, especially under "Development Stage", we could link there{Vicki}
- ...comment {name}
- Convince readers of the benefits of addressing accessibility early and throughout the design & development process -- and provide them guidance
- Have a place to point to from WCAG-EM (and other docs that talk about evaluating existing sites) that says do it early & do it often

- [done] A paragraph to close with the points from "Monitor Website Accessibility" could be added at the end of this document({Vicki}
- There's good stuff there. I could try to integrate /DONE/some points briefly into this document. Wouldn't move anything out of the original since I think it is all still quite relevant. Perhaps, some minor updating but the document is a very good source of information for anyone starting out.{Vicki}
- B-Case, Financial Factors, Decreasing Costs
- has section on "Incorporating accessibility from the beginning"
- [done] Yes, this sentence can be slightly modified and added under Budget {Vicki}
- Interesting paragraph to add under "Design" on "Addressing accessibility and mobile together" {Vicki}
- Designing for Inclusion
- doesn't have info on design process, but some people might come looking here for it; therefore, we might want to add pointers to related information in the "See also" sections
(Outreach Planning page has info on dated-ness of some docs.)
other inputs
- Text EOWG is welcome to use:
- email from Phill Jenkins includes some considerations early
- more: Yes, please add in some specifics about doing a design review and for accessibility prior to development of running or prototype code.
Seems you have a step already listed:
Design specification: We want an independent assessment of high level objects during early stage design planning. We can provide sample use cases, early page mock-ups, wireframes and simple prototypes.
The other step is a "review of the technology choices" for accessibility support for the new/redesigned site. Such as user interface components (UI widgits) from jQuery, DoJo, and other JavaScript libraries and embedded video playersfor example that do (or don't) a good job of supporting accessibility.

I also do the store designer kit method I have a *general* catagory for the odd freebies from here and there but I also have a duplicate folder system for all the zip files and I have them burned to disk as well as on 2 1T external h/drives. I do this with my pictures too. Just because it's external does not mean it won't crash! Mind you once zip files have been burned and backed up on the externals, I take them off the internal drive. Too many tears have been shed not to heed the warning to *back it up*

i also like to store by store and designer. easier to just search if have already gotten a kit.
this works except when forget a designer is at a couple of stores... have stumbled on a store, saw a kit i liked, bought it, only to find had it already on the ehd!
some of the points in organization
most of the challenges here ask for gds products, so need to be able to find and id them
other times, like in a numbers or speed scrap, may be asked for "stitching," mat, or red bow, so need that breakdown also
hope you will jump in the fun here
ps thought would stop getting goodies when filled up a 40 gb drive. last year got a 500 which is 80% filled, and Santa got me a 1T.
Organization Methods
For most truly creative people, I think organization is a stumbling block. Being able to "see" what you have actually helps the creative process, not just in digi-scrapping but in all crafts. Here's my own developed method of digi-scrap storage for store purchases, store freebies, and blog freebies:
I make folders for each store or each blog I keep up with and then subfolders, so it looks something like this:
GoDigitalScrapbooking (Main Folder)
Alphas (subfolder)
Desktops (subfolder)
Elements (subfolder)
Frames (subfolder)
Kits (subfolder)
Papers (subfolder)
Photo Masks (subfolder)
Purchases (subfolder containing all the folders you see again)
Overlays (subfolder)
Tools (subfolder - broken into more subfolders, Brushes, Shapes, Styles, Actions, etc.)
Word Art (subfolder)
I have found this system is extensive, but it works well for me. I've collected supplies and purchases since August of 2008, and I'm well over a terabyte. I use one Western Digital 250 gig external drive, and two 500 gig HP pocket drives (which I can't say enough good things about). However, I do agree with someone else who posted here saying that all mechanical things go down eventually, so it's imperative that you still back everything up on media of your choice; disks, smart cards, flash drives, whatever. After all the time spent collecting and caring for files, nobody wants to risk losing any of them!!! It's all happened to us at some point, so take heed and back up everything often.
By the way, I don't break kits apart. They stay in their own folder under my "kits" folder, their folder is titled by the name of the kit, and I have the preview file showing on the folder so I can see what's inside the folder.
Good luck!

Lots of great ideas and methods here!
How do you get the preview page to be in front of the folder?
I also do store, designer, kit. I've just recently created a Christmas folder and put only kits in it within the GDS folder. I change the name of the alphas that are just alphas and start the name with alpha_designer...this way the alphas are all together.
OK. First of all I'm pretty unorganized. I usually know where my stuff is, and if not I can find it using the search function in windows. I work off of a laptop most of the time. Either in the living room with my family or upstairs at my desk attached to my monitor. I do not use a EHD. I keep a handful of kits to scrap with on this hard drive plus other "designer" supplies made by myself and others. I have them all backed up onto our server, which is currently 8 TB. I have about 400GB on the server. PU and CU combined. I haven't backed my laptop up in quite a while I'm pretty sure that I have another 60-100gb here that I really should move over.
Anyway I use shop/designer/kit and for my supplies it's under both shop/designer or product type/designer/folderSnag me ---->
Thank you for the 'backup' reminder Lone. I am getting a new one for my birthday tomorrow, and probably going to choose the 1TB or the 500GB. I know that I would be really lost if I lost the data on my ehd.
The files that I care about I have archived to dvd or cd. But the digistash collection continues to grow with each and every day that passes :)
Anna, to get the preview picture on your folder, click on it's thumbnail & go to properties, then click customize. There will be a spot that says chose picture,then you can find the preview pic of the kit and hit apply. The picture should be on the front of the folder as long as you have set your folders as thumbnails.
I hope this made sense. I know this is a silly question but how do you enter a quote from somebody's post to mine, i can't seem to get it right?Chris
Thank you so much. I got up early to work on my folders and I was going to take the preview page out of each of my folders and file it in front of the actual folder. That would have been A LOT of work. Thanks for the response. Now for your question...on all posts there is a "quote" button on the bottom right hand side. Go to the post that you want to quote and click on that button. It automatically opens up the window for your response with the quote enbedded. I just did it with yours. If this does not make sense, let me know.
