IBM® Optim Performance Manager is a web-based database monitoring solution that helps you resolve your database performance issues with a guided approach. IBM Optim Performance Manager's Extended Insight feature provides end-to-end database performance monitoring for Java® and CLI database applications, giving you the ability to quickly understand where your database applications are spending their time.
With Extended Insight, DBAs can quickly see and understand where database applications are spending time across the IT stack from the application through the application server, the database client, the database server, and the network.
When a critical business application is not performing the way you expect, you can use Extended Insight to give you end-to-end visibility from the line of code that issues a database statement right through to the database server. This enables you to quickly isolate and address problems by understanding and identifying where the problem is. When the problem is not in the database itself, Extended Insight also makes it easier for you to work with the people who are managing other parts of the infrastructure, or with developers to solve the problem.
Extended Insight can identify workload generated by InfoSphere Warehouse. The identified workload's activities can be grouped and filtered by InfoSphere-specific connection attributes like SQW Details or SQW Application Server.
This article describes the prerequisites and steps you have to perform to set up Extended Insight for InfoSphere Warehouse. The article is based on Optim Performance Manager Extended Edition V4.1.1 and InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7.3 on DB2 LUW 9.7 FP 4 database.
Before you set up Extended Insight on your InfoSphere Warehouse machine, you need to install Optim Performance Manager Extended Edition and activate the license. Typically you install Optim Performance Manager on a computer that is separate from your database servers that you want to monitor, as well as your InfoSphere Warehouse Application Server machine. The license can be activated during installation or by running a separate license activation kit after installation. During license activation, the Extended Insight communication ports are configured. Make sure that you specify unused and open ports. Figure 1 shows the installer panel that is used to specify the communication ports for Extended Insight.
Figure 1. Extended Insight communication port specification
Tip: You can use the Performance Manager Server panel in the Optim Performance Manager web console to review the specified communication ports, or to change them later as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Extended Insight communication port specification from OPM Console
(View a larger version of Figure 2.)
After you have installed and activated Optim Performance Manager Extended Edition, make sure that the repository server and the web console are started. Then use the web console to configure the databases that are accessed by your InfoSphere Warehouse applications for monitoring.
To configure the databases for monitoring, open the Manage Database Connection panel in the Optim Performance Manager web console, add the database, and then configure the database for monitoring. In step 2 of the configuration wizard, ensure that the Extended Insight monitoring profile is turned on.
InfoSphere Warehouse and sample applications
For this article, the InfoSphere Warehouse installation that you plan to monitor must be at version 9.7.3 (although Extended Insight is supported for 9.7.1 and higher). The article demonstrates the working of InfoSphere Warehouse using the SQL Warehousing Tutorial (the sample project you can create with InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7.3 Design Studio). The InfoSphere Warehouse tutorial has to be finished before starting the Optim Performance Manager Extended Insight tutorial described in this document.
The SQL Warehousing sample project is a data warehousing project that contains a data model and the complete set of SQL warehousing data flows and control flows that you can create in the SQL Warehousing Tutorial, which you can find in the Resources section. Data flows and control flows are typically used to build and maintain database tables that support data warehousing applications. Data flows define the SQL-based data movement and transformation activities that run in a DB2 database. Control flows enforce the order in which data flows run and include business logic for handling failures and other data processing conditions.
Configuring the InfoSphere Warehouse Sample data source for monitoring in Optim Performance Manager
Do the following to configure the InfoSphere Warehouse sample database, GSDB, for monitoring Optim Performance Manager.
- Add it in the Manage Database Connections view by clicking the Add button, filling in the form, and saving your changes.
- After you have added the connection, you need to configure it. Click the Configure Monitoring button to open the Configure Monitoring wizard.
- On the first page of the Configure Monitoring wizard, you need to enter administrative credentials for the GSDB database and ensure that the database time zone is correct.
- You can choose from multiple monitoring templates available in the
Use predefined template drop-down list; for
InfoSphere Warehouse, it's best to use BI production system
with low overhead or BI production system with
all details. The difference between the two is that the
BI production system with low overhead
configuration gathers data about active SQL statements with a 5-minute
interval (as opposed to a 2-minute interval in BI production
system with all details configuration), and does not
collect tablespace statistics, WLM statistics, or detailed information
about all executed dynamic SQL statements. As shown in Figure 3, the
BI production system with low overhead template
is selected and will be further customized with Extended Insight settings.
Figure 3. Configuration of GSDB database monitoring with BI template
- After this selection, proceed to Step 2 of the wizard by clicking
Next. This brings you to the detailed monitoring
configuration. The Extended Insight monitoring is already enabled for
you. Enter detailed settings for Extended Insight monitoring to enable
collection of statement and transaction metrics on the data server as
shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Configuration of Extended Insight for GSDB database
Note: The collection of statement and transaction metrics on the data server is only possible when you monitor a DB2 server version 9.7 FP1 or higher.
- Continue to the end of the monitoring configuration wizard, reviewing the monitored database configuration and monitoring authorization pages. Finally, click Finish to save your configuration. When it is saved, you can view monitoring data for your InfoSphere Warehouse Samples database (GSDB) in the Inflight dashboards.
Extended Insight installation and configuration on the InfoSphere Warehouse system
Install the IBM Optim Performance Manager V4.1.1 Client Software package that matches the operating system of your InfoSphere Warehouse Application Server machine:
- CI14NML – Linux for System z
- CI14MML – Linux for System x
- CI14PML – Linux for System p
- CI14JML – Windows
- CI14LML - Solaris
- Optim Performance Manager Extended Insight must be installed on the
same server as the InfoSphere Warehouse Application Server. During
installation you have to provide the installation path which as shown
in Figure 5. The following steps use <eiInstallationPath> to
represent the installation path.
Figure 5. Installation path for IBM Optim Performance Manager V4.1.1 Client Software installation
- The installation finishes with the screen shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6. Summary panel for IBM Optim Performance Manager V4.1.1 Client Software installation
- Ensure that the Open the configuration tool check box is selected.
- After you click Done, the configuration tool is
opened. In the first step choose the type of application you want to
monitor with Extended Insight. For InfoSphere Warehouse applications
choose the JDBC application type and ensure the
WebSphere applications check box is cleared as
shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. Configuration of Extended Insight for JDBC applications
- From the Optim Performance Manager Server URL panel
shown in Figure 8, enter the fully-qualified host name or IP address
of the server on which Optim Performance Manager server is installed.
Additionally, provide the Extended Insight communication ports that
you specified during Optim Performance Manager activation (see Figure
1). The first port (default
60000) is the UDP port on which the Extended Insight controller server (part of the Optim Performance Manager repository server) is running. Click Next.
Figure 8. Configuration of Extended Insight server host and ports
- If you get an error message indicating that the connection was
unsuccessful, one or more of the following issues may have occurred:
- A personal client firewall is blocking the first communication port.
- The specified host name or IP address of the Optim Performance Manager server is wrong.
- The Optim Performance Manager repository server is not started.
- The specified first port for the Extended Insight controller
server is wrong. To obtain the correct port do one of the
- Log on to the Optim Performance Manager web console and get the port number from the Performance Manager Server panel.
- Check the Optim Performance Manager repository server
db2pesrv.logfor the following message to identify the right port:
The Extended Insight controller server is started on port xxx.
- Use the panel, as shown in Figure 9, to verify that the database that
is accessed by your InfoSphere Warehouse applications is configured
for monitoring by Optim Performance Manager. Enter the database host
name, the port number, and the database name, and then click
Test connection.
Figure 9. Monitored database identifiers for OPM Server communication test
- If you see an error message indicating that the configuration of the
monitored database cannot be verified, check the following items:
- Ensure that you have provided the correct database host name, database port, and database name of the database that you are monitoring.
- Ensure that your Optim Performance Manager server is up and running.
- On UNIX and Linux, you can use the
OPMstatus.shcommand from the <OPM install dir>/bin directory to verify that Optim Performance Manager is running. On Windows, check the status of the Optim Performance Manager service using the Control panel.
- Ensure that the database is configured for monitoring. Use the Manage Database Connections dashboard in the Optim Performance Manager web console to see the monitoring status of this database.
- Ensure that you have enabled the Extended Insight monitoring profile for the database. Verify this on the Manage Database Connections dashboard in the Optim Performance Manager web console by opening the Configure Monitoring wizard for this database.
- If you see a message stating that the database is configured for
monitoring, click Next and review the listed summary
information as shown in Figure 10. Then click Done to
finish the configuration.
Figure 10. Figure 10: Summary of Extended Insight Client configuration for JDBC applications
- The last step to configure InfoSphere Warehouse for Extended Insight
is a manual step. You have to copy configured files to the InfoSphere
Warehouse Application Server (which is WebSphere Application Server
installed as part of InfoSphere Warehouse).
- Copy file
- Copy file
<WebSphereInstallationDir>\AppServer\profiles\<AppSrv> \IBMDataTools\dscomponents\ExtendedInsight\PureQuery_2.2.1\lib"
- Copy file
<WebSphereInstallationDir>\AppServer\profiles\<AppSrv> \IBMDataTools\dscomponents\ExtendedInsight\PureQuery_2.2.1\etc"
- Restart the WebSphere Application Server.
- Copy file
- In the Previous steps ensure the following:
<WebSphereInstallationDir>is the path where WebSphere Application server hosting the InfoSphere Warehouse services and applications is installed.
<AppSrv>is the name of the application server hosting the InfoSphere Warehouse services and applications.
You have now configured the Optim Performance Manager Extended Insight Client software, and Optim Performance Manager will begin to collect Extended Insight data for your InfoSphere Warehouse applications if they execute database transactions.
Viewing the Extended Insight monitoring data for InfoSphere Warehouse control flows
- Now you can generate some workload by scheduling warehousing
application on InfoSphere Warehouse Administration Console as shown in
Figure 11.
Figure 11. Scheduling sample control flow as workload to be monitored
(View a larger version of Figure 11.)
- After the workload is successfully executed look at the monitoring data on the Extended Insight dashboard of the Optim Performance Manager web console.
- Click the Activate button and select the SQW groups
as shown in Figure 12 to enable predefined workload cluster groups for
InfoSphere Warehouse.
Figure 12. Enabling predefined InfoSphere Warehouse workload cluster groups
- After you click OK, you will see the activated groups
in the dashboard. Expand the SQW applications and
flows group to view the control flows being executed as
shown in Figure 13.
Figure 13. Extended Insight dashboard with expanded SQW workload cluster group
(View a larger version of Figure 13.)
- The metrics for two control flows (defined according to the InfoSphere
Warehouse tutorial) are enlisted in two separate clusters. You can
choose any cluster (for example, populate_time_and_order_fact) and
open details for it by double-clicking it, or by clicking the
Open Details button. The Extended Insight
dashboard presents details for the workload generated by the chosen
cluster (control flow) as shown in Figure 14.
Figure 14. Details of workload generated by control flow populate_time_and_order_fact
(View a larger version of Figure 14.)
- Now you can sort executed statements by Average number of returned
rows and pick up the one which returns the biggest volume of rows and
see its details as shown in Figure 15.
Figure 15. Details for top statement
(View a larger version of Figure 15.)
Construct complex workload cluster group
You can construct more complex workload cluster group based on the InfoSphere Warehouse specific connection attributes. For example to analyze workload only from one SQW Application Server you can create a workload cluster group by following these steps.
- Go to the Extended Insight dashboard.
- Click the New button. Alternatively you can choose New cluster group from the context menu.
- Specify the name and description on the first panel with meaningful
information as shown in Figure 16.
Figure 16. New cluster group name and description
(View a larger version of Figure 16.)
- Click Next.
- Choose InfoSphere Warehouse from the Type of workload cluster group drop down list.
- Choose SQW Details in the Cluster by Connection Attributes column. Choose SQW application server in the Filter the Workload column.
- Type the IP address of your SQW Application Server into the filter
Figure 17. Definition of new workload cluster group
(View a larger version of Figure 17.)
You can test your filter on already-collected metrics by pressing the Refresh button. Clusters should appear in the table at the bottom of the screen.
- Click the Finish button.
After these steps a workload cluster group containing clusters which only contain data from your chosen SQW Application Server is displayed on the Extended Insight dashboard as shown in Figure 18.
Figure 18. Custom workload cluster group on Extended Insight dashboard
(View a larger version of Figure 18.)
Tracing Extended Insight client
Enabling Extended Insight client tracing helps to determine the root cause if no Extended Insight data from your InfoSphere Warehouse applications is arriving at the Optim Performance Manager repository server.
How to enable the Extended Insight client trace
In the pdq.properties file that you have copied into InfoSphere Warehouse, add the following entries:
- pdq.traceLevel=ALL
- pdq.traceFile=<filename>
For example, the specified trace filename could be C:/temp/pdq.trc.
The pdq.properties file is located in folder: <WebSphereInstallationDir>\AppServer\profiles\<AppSrv>\IBMDataTools\dscomponents\ExtendedInsight\PureQuery_2.2.1\etc.
Restart WebSphere Application Server to ensure that the new properties are used, and ensure that the InfoSphere Warehouse applications execute database transactions. The trace file grows large very quickly, so copy it to a different location after two or three minutes and open the copied version.
Getting driver versions from the Extended Insight client trace
To verify that a supported IBM Data Server driver is used, search for the
pureQuery Software Prerequisites in the trace file.
You will see information similar to that shown in Listing 1.
Listing 1. Driver information in trace file
pureQuery Software Prerequisites satisfied. Found in classpath: IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ at release 3.59.81 Prerequisite level is 3.57 or higher. Java Runtime Environment version 1.5.0 Prerequisite level is 1.5 or higher.
Is the Extended Insight controller server reachable?
To verify that the Extended Insight controller server within Optim
Performance Manager server is reachable, search for the string
server in the trace file. For a
successful connection to the controller server, you will see information
like that shown in Listing 2.
Listing 2. Successful controller connection in trace file
[pdq][Time:2011-01-20-15:15:11.000] Attempting to connect to a controller server using the pdq.cmx.controllerURL property fixed address: OPMEIDEMO.boeblingen.de.ibm.com/22.214.171.124:60000 ... [pdq][Time:2011-01-20-15:15:12.000] Successfully connected to a controller server at OPMEIDEMO.boeblingen.de.ibm.com/18.104.22.168:60000
For an unsuccessful connection (for example, due to a firewall issues) you would see information similar to that shown in Listing 3.
Listing 3. Example 3: Unsuccessful controller connection in trace file
[pdq][Time:2011-01-25-10:57:59.765] WARNING: Failed to establish a socket connection to controller server at OPMEIDEMO.boeblingen.de.ibm.com/220.127.116.11:60000
Is data being sent to Optim Performance manager server?
To verify that transaction and statement response time data is sent to the
Optim Performance Manager server, search for the string
Monitor payload in the trace file as shown in Figure 19. Note
that the data is sent every minute in an aggregated format, therefore the
trace must run longer than one minute for you to see these payload
Figure 19. Payload information in trace file (output formatted)
(View a larger version of Figure 19.)
As demonstrated by this article you are now able to install Optim Performance Manager Extended Insight client and configure it to monitor transaction and SQL statement response times of your InfoSphere Warehouse applications, including the time-spent breakdown across the IT stack. The Extended Insight feature can help DBAs collaborate more efficiently with other IT staff by providing them with a web-based user interface that provides overview, alert, and diagnostic dashboards to simplify root cause analysis in InfoSphere Warehouse applications that access DB2 data.

I found the noise from the river and weir to be very distracting,especially when trying to sleep at night.One review described the sound of gently flowing water,instead it was more of a roar.Maybe it was caused by heavy rain a few days before we arrived.
Confirmed guest, 2015-09-11
Caravan was beautiful and modern with everything needed for my weeks stay. Outside decking was also valuable with the warm weather that I had and extremely useful for my dog to lay on.

Campus Safety
Several teachers teach from the course textbook, but also draw from their own experiences and other media/texts. Miami gives a well-rounded education because they stress that non academic activities are important, too. Learning comes from the classroom, but more importantly, I believe, outside of the classroom. There are many lectures, performances, art shows each week to further the education you can get from Miami.

10 Best Comic Storylines Featuring The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Villains
Must read Spider-Man comics for those who want to know more...
Must read Spider-Man comics for those who want to know more...
Sonys The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has been heavily marketed around its three villains: Electro, Rhino and Harry Osborn/Green Goblin. And while a case could be made that the film is bogged down with too many bad guys, all three characters have starred in some memorable storylines from the comics that are worth checking out.
Electro, aka, Max Dillon, first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #9 during the Stan Lee/Steve Ditko Silver Age era. His ability to harness electricity has led to a number of entertaining one-on-one confrontations with Spider-Man over the years. Electro is also a core member of the anti-Spidey supervillain stable, the Sinister Six.
Rhino, aka Aleksei Sytsevich, was one of the very first villains created by iconic Spider-Man artist John Romita Sr., debuting in Amazing Spider-Man #41 in 1966. Often portrayed as brutish and dull, Rhino has also spent a portion of his career antagonizing the Hulk in his comic book series.
Harry Osborn is the son of Spider-Mans arch nemesis, Norman Osborn, aka, the Green Goblin. As Peter Parkers best friend and college roommate, Harrys eventual turn as the Goblin in Amazing Spider-Man #136 is considered one of the most emotionally devastating and conflicting moments for Peter in the characters history. As such, the two have been involved in some of the greatest storylines in Spider-Man history.
So, if youve just seen The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and want to find out some more about these three characters from the comic book side of things, or youre looking for some key reading material before checking out the film, these 10 entries are an excellent place to start.

War of the WorldviewsPosted Tuesday, July 12, 2011, at 9:47 AM
"And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, 'How long halt ye between two opinions?
If the Lord be God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.' And the people answered him not a word." (I Kings 18.21, KJV)
Recent events exemplify once more that the worldviews (i.e. religious belief system, philosophies of life) of Christianity and Islam do not play well together. It seems that in at least a spiritual sense the worldview of the Judeo-Christian experience is under attack by the worldview espoused by some who follow the equally diverse teachings of Islam.
And, those motivated by hate, unimpressed with mere spiritual or philosophical warfare, seem determined to physically attack those holding opposing absolutes.
However, the current and former President has said the United States is not at war against the religion of Islam. This is certainly politically correct and perhaps even true on some level. If in this present conflict of worldviews someone is shooting and bombing, it sure sounds like war. And, without a conflict of worldviews there would be no conflicts.
As has been pointed out, "All wars are about religion." With whom then, exactly, are we at war?
This writer lacks the experience or expertise to adequately portray the Islamic worldview.
In fact, Islam, as with Christianity, has fractured into multiple, often conflicting, dogmas. But, according to one group (www.thereligionofpeace.com), which does follow Islamic activities, the worldview of the followers of Allah encompasses:
-- "Unbelievers are described by Muhammad (in the Qur'an) as "the vilest of animals" and "losers." Christians and Jews are hated by Allah to the extent that they are destined for eternal doom as a result of their beliefs."
-- "Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, had people killed for insulting him or for criticizing his religion. This included women. Muslims are told to emulate the example of Muhammad."
-- "The Qur'an never once speaks of Allah's love for non-Muslims, but it speaks of Allah's cruelty toward and hatred of non-Muslims more than 500 times."
On the other hand, the Christian worldview is something with which I do have my share of exposure, at least as far as it is presented in America. Some two-centuries into this American experiment the Biblical absolutes which were assumed in establishing what we as a nation became include the following teachings (as represented not only in most Christian manifestations but in most of law and politics):
-- "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:11-13, KJV)
-- "And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also." (Luke 6:28-30, KJV)
-- "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." (Matthew 5:43-45, KJV)
To paraphrase Abe Lincoln, both may be wrong, one may be right and the other wrong; it seems illogical that they could both be right.
It appears if America would choose Islam as the basis for law and lifestyle, likely the shooting and bombing could be stopped. But, prudence here demands pointing out that the written record indicates those who (even by keeping silent) denied the Lord God Jehovah were "left to the mercy of the enemy".

Dear Dave,
Very well said. Particularly in these hyper sensitive "politically correct" times.
-- Posted by Charles Hear on Tue, Jul 12, 2011, at 12:29 PM
David you are right. Tolerance of Christianity and tolerance of Islam are two different things. One seeks to influence, the other to conquer by the shedding of blood. I can hear the cries of protest now, "Not all Muslims are like that!" That is true, but all Muslims embrace the Quran. The Muslim scripture is a book of anger and revenge.
Some will point to the crusades and say there is therefore no difference between the two religions. While I can't defend the crusades, there is today no similarity between the mindset of Christianity and Islam. Jesus taught forgiveness, Mohamed taught war. Jesus appealed to the heart with love and promise, Mohamed threatened death to those who would not convert. While God calls us to love every Muslim, He also calls us to wisdom and to defend the truth. Not with violence, but by proclamtion and love.
You said it well in your last paragraph
"It appears if America would choose Islam as the basis for law and lifestyle, likely the shooting and bombing could be stopped. But, prudence here demands pointing out that the written record indicates those who (even by keeping silent) denied the Lord God Jehovah were "left to the mercy of the enemy".

I would like to include extra content alongside each post based on the length of the post, i.e. if a post is under 500 characters, show a short banner. If it's over 500, show a medium size banner. And if it's over 1000 characters, show a long banner, etc.
My site is http://dotneil.com . I plan to put this additional content in the <dl> to the left of each post - so it will be in the Loop. I'm okay with conditional comments for pages, sidebars etc, i.e. <?php if(is_single())?> etc, but I don't know how to make conditional comments work via queries against the length of a post.
I think this would make quite a handy plugin if it had a simple interface for choosing the character increments (i.e. 500 words) and the content rendered at each increment, especially if it's implemented in the traditional sidebar via a widget...or maybe this plugin exists and I just don't know about it!?!

I have to agree with you, but please just one thing I dont understand C.P had there 9 points deducted right away but Portsmouth have not any help on this one please
Pompey are still waiting to find out if they are able to go into administration as they may still go into liquidation and be wound up. Therefore no points can be deducted yet. The Inland Revenue are worried as they will be far down on the list of people to get paid if Pompey to go into administration and are challenging the voluntary administration. Is that clear, perhaps not, but nothing is in this saga!

The Splendid Indians Of Edward S. Curtis
February 1974 | Volume 25, Issue 2
A limited edition of the entire set of Curtis gravures, as well as individual copies taken from the original plates of those appearing in this portfolio, are available to AMERICAN HERITAGE subscribers. Information on either the sets or individual gravures may be obtained by writing to Mr. Martin Rapp, American Heritage Publishing Company, Inc., 1221 Avenue of the Americas, New York City, New York 10020.
Curds' photography of Indians began soon after he first arrived at Puget Sound from Wisconsin in 1887, when he was nineteen. In the Midwest he had already learned the photographer's trade. Fascinated by a stereopticon given him when he was a boy by his father, a Civil War veteran and minister in the United Brethren Church, and inspired by a book on photography, he had built his own camera, using two wooden boxes and the stereo lenses. In time he landed a job in a St. Paul photographic gallery, working in a darkroom and taking commercial pictures. When his father fell ill and the family migrated to the milder climate of Washington Territory, Edward went along and helped build a log cabin in what was still sparsely settled country across Puget Sound from Seattle.
His father died soon after the move, and Edward, one of" four brothers and sisters, became the chief breadwinner, taking odd jobs like the others but also buying a good camera and bringing in money from his photography. There were many picturesque subjects in the area—the mountains and dense forests, still almost wilderness, the new settlements in the Washington valleys, and the shipping in Puget Sound. But there were also many Indians, survivors of numerous coastal tribes, and Curtis was drawn more and more to them as subjects, paying them a dollar or so to pose for portraits and photographing them as they fished, trapped, and hunted seals in the harbors. Less than forty years before, he recognized, these Indians had been the proud, free owners of the region. Then they were crushed, forced to cede their lands, and overrun and debauched by white society. As he photographed them he imagined what they had been like before the white man came. Although theirs was now a life of poverty, sickness, alcoholism, and helplessness—the demoralized plight of what most people of the time considered a vanishing race—Curtis increasingly tried to idealize them, to picture them as they might have looked in the past. Taking great pains with the poses, settings, expressive actions, and dress and ornamentation of his subjects and making sure, as he once explained, that no sign of white civilization crept into his shots, he strove for an evocative quality that would convey the original dignity and humanity of the tribesmen. In addition, to heighten the dramaticmood he frequently retouched his negatives, printing them with a soft and fuzzy tone that eliminated many background details. The net effect, of course, was a misrepresentation of reality, but this did not bother him.
His Indian pictures, displayed and sold in a Seattle photograph store, soon became very popular, and several of them, entered in contests and photographic exhibitions that toured the United States and Europe, won prizes and medals. In 1892 he married and, with a hundred fifty dollars of borrowed money, bought a partnership in a Seattle studio. Two years later he became sole owner, continuing to photograph local Indians but also catering to the market for scenic views of the Northwest. Becoming a skilled mountaineer in the process, he photographed the peaks of the Cascades, particularly Mount Rainier. There, in 1898, he came upon a lost party and guided it to safety. It proved to be a turning point in his life. Among the group he rescued were several nationally prominent persons, including Gifford Pinchot, chief of the United States Forest Service, Dr. C. Hart Merriam, chief of the United States Biological Survey, and George Bird Grinnell, editor of Forest and Stream magazine and a well-known naturalist and writer on the Blackfoot Indians.
Grinnell and Curtis became good friends, and the following year Grinnell, who was greatly impressed by Curtis' Indian photographs, invited him to accompany a twomonth exploring expedition by ship along the Alaskan coast, organized and financed by E. H. Harriman, the railroad tycoon. It was a boatload of famous men. Among the passengers were John Muir, who was then studying glaciers, John Burroughs, the ornithologist and author, and Henry Gannett of the United States Geological Survey. Curtis, the chief photographer, had an opportunity to widen his circle of influential friends and with an assistant, D. G. Inverarity of Seattle, took more than five thousand photographs.
When it was over, Grinnell invited him on another excursion the next year, this time on a visit for two weeks to the Piegan Indians, one of the Blackfoot tribes, in northern Montana. Grinnell's friendship with the Indians permitted the two men to observe the sacred ceremony of the sun dance, as well as intimate details of tribal daily life. The experience made an enormous impact on Curtis and inspired the project that was to occupy him for the next thirty years. Unlike the crushed and dispossessed Indians around Puget Sound, the Piegans, he noted, still retained a large measure of their original culture. What he and Grinnell had been privileged to view, he felt, was known to few white men and would soon be gone.

Computer Repair Technician
First, realize you won't find a standard educational path for this career. Also, understand you're probably not going to land a computer repair tech job right out of high school. Yes, you should take every computer-related course you can, especially programming and applications-related classes. After you graduate, broaden your computer and electronics background by completing a certificate or associate's degree at a technical school or community college. Depending on the program's scope, you'll spend six months to two years learning about computer and peripheral installation and maintenance. You might also get some intro courses in networking, digital logic, and microprocessor troubleshooting. If you didn't learn to solder components onto PC boards in high school, you'll probably learn it now.
Let's say you get these basic concepts down, and you want to rack up some advanced courses. Pick up a class that teaches you to troubleshoot technical problems using common diagnostic equipment. Also consider courses in popular programming languages.
Once you have your credentials in hand, get ready to take the Computer Technology Industry Association's A+ certification test (which actually consists of two exams). CompTIA is an independent organization that certifies computer technicians in maintenance, networking, and security disciplines. The A+ certificate is an entry-level credential that validates your computer system installation and maintenance skills. Of course, you'll increase your marketable skills if you also obtain advanced certifications.

My boyfriend and I spent almost a week at Ana's place in Porto, and it was great. She and Júlio were nice and helped us with everything we needed.
Their house is very well located, five minutes walking distance from Sao Bento area, and Sta Catarina street. That location makes it noisy at nights, though, because many cars pass by the street.
The room was nice and cosy, and the house perfectly equiped. We shared the house with them and another guest, but had no problems to use bathroom and kitchen anytime we wanted.
Ana was really friendly and helpful. She quickly answered all our questions we had about the apartment in advance. The apartment is located just 3 minutes walk from the bus station of Rede Nacional de Expressos. Also it is close to a Metro station and to the city, so you can easily walk there. The apartment and the room are really pretty if you like the vintage look.
The room has a big window which faces the street, so it is quite loud if the window is open. You might want to bring some earplugs if you are sensitive about that.
All in all we had a really nice stay, thanks to Ana :)
We enjoyed our stay in Porto very. Ana lives with her boyfriend in this really fantastically beautiful apartment that is centrally located super plus. The device I'd prefer immediately taken;) for breakfast and evening we enjoyed sitting on the balcony with the flowers and the beautiful view. The room is decorated very well. The only drawback is the volume that others have described here: The room is oriented to a busy road and the windows isolate not so super. If you are sensitive because, I recommend earplugs take!
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in Porto sehr genossen. Ana wohnt mit ihrem Freund in dieser wirklich traumhaft schönen Wohnung, die dazu noch super zentral gelegen ist. Die Einrichtung hätt ich am liebsten gleich mitgenommen ;) Zum Frühstück und abends haben wir gerne auf dem Balkon mit den vielen Blumen und der schönen Aussicht gesessen. Das Zimmer ist auch schön eingerichtet. Einziger Manko ist die Lautstärke, die auch schon andere hier beschrieben haben: Das Zimmer ist zu einer viel befahrenen Straße ausgerichtet und die Fenster isolieren nicht so super. Wenn ihr da empfindlich seid, empfehle ich Oropax mitzunehmen!
Ana is a wonderful guest. Her and Julio are really nice and helpful, and their flat is a lovely (and huge!) place near the heart of Porto. Our stay there was just perfect!
The truth is that all you can say is good because everything is as it puts in pagina.Los hosts the best that we could encontrar.Son very good people, kind, friendly and very simpaticos.Ahora is that when I return to Porto I will have jente visitar.Gracias to you friends!
La verdad es que todo lo que pueda decir es bueno porque todo esta como lo pone en la pagina.Los anfitriones los mejores que pudiesemos encontrar.Son muy buenas personas,atentos,amables y muy simpaticos.Ahora se que cuando vuelva a Porto tendre jente a la que visitar.Gracias amigos!
We left the hotel after the first night again because of the unbearable traffic noise. (Main road and bus stop outside the house). The Wohnmöglichenkeiten for several days are extremely modest and primitiv.Es though everything is there, but as described totally ueberaltet, no chair in the room, no storage space in the bedroom. In the living area, just 2 chairs. The 5 stars are probably very flattering. But there is free wifi!
Conclusion for young people without much expectation of comfort acceptable.
Wir haben die Unterkunft nach der ersten Nacht wieder wegen des unerträglichen Strassenlärms verlassen. (Hauptstrasse und Bushaltestelle vorm Haus). Die Wohnmöglichenkeiten für mehrere Tage sind äusserst bescheiden und primitiv.Es ist zwar alles da, wie beschrieben jedoch total ueberaltet, im Zimmer kein Stuhl, keine Ablage im Schlafraum. Im Wohnbereich nur 2 Stühle. Die 5 Sterne sind wohl sehr schmeichelhaft. Aber es gibt kostenlos WiFi !
Fazit für junge Leute ohne grosse Erwartung an Komfort akzeptabel.
Very nice hostess and great room.
All this in a central location.
Highly recommended.
Sehr nette Gastgeberin und tolles Zimmer.
Das alles in zentraler Lage.
Sehr zu empfehlen.
