What CMS would be suggested to organize and display a inventory catalog? I am working on a website for a friend, his business is furniture rentals. He doesn't need to display prices, manage inventory or take orders online. He just wants to be able to show clients what he has for rent. Rather than just code it by hand, I want to be able to use a CMS so later on if he gets new product, he can add it rather than having me go back and have to add it. It will be organized by single categories (i.e. Chairs, Sofas, etc.), no sub categories.

What CMS is best for a company intranet? The CMS NEEDS to have the ability to assign only certain site pages to certain users. So far all I can find are LEVEL permissions, which allow all users in that lever access to edit the pages.

Any suggestions?
I am trying to find a CMS system designed for photographers, which offered ordering & watermarks. Any ideas? It was a specific CMS system, not a unit you added onto Joomla or Drupal, and if I remember correctly, it had quite an obscure name (and was free)! If no-one can recall or knows what it is, could anyone suggest something like Drupal that can be easily adapted for a photographer to use to have portfolios on. I wouldn't necessarily need to have ecommerce set up, just the facility for someone to select and then have an order emailed to me would be great. Thanks in advance!

I am 23 weeks pregnant and goin to have cerglage to close cervix, as it 1 cms opened. Is it dangerous surgery? The Dr told me that I need urgent to get my cervix closed and I should stay in the hospital for few days getting ready for cerclage (?) Is it dangerous surgery and why it is necessary to stay in bed constantly for the rest of my pregnancy (almost 4 months more!) - it shouldn't be good for my body and probably for the baby, also, if I don't move for the next 4 months... I don't know if they would allow me to start my University in October - they told me to forget my study... But I really don't feel that anything wrong either with me or my baby - but the Dr says, that I should follow his instructions and I, of course, doing so... But may be someone else had similar experience and would explain me more about this case?...
