How To Place A Login Ad Using HTMLPosted on March 31st, 2010 No comments
Free How To Guide In PDF Format.
Easy Login Ads Using HTML.
It seems many marketers have a hard time creating fast loading professional HTML login ads. They either attempt to write a full web page which is not appropriate or they just stick an image link and that's it. It really isn't so difficult to make a great looking ad so I decided to create a free how to guide in PDF, including many screen shots so you can will have all the steps from start to finish.
Click the image above to get the 3 custom HTML login ad templates. The zip file contains the free PDF how to guide and a bonus PDF file called HotWords.pdf. I show you exactly how to use the templates including step by step screen shots of where to click, where to paste, how to open your link in a new window, everything you need to create professional HTML login ads.
Each of the three (3) templates are in plain text format so you can easily copy and paste the one you wish to use into the HTML editor when posting your login ad. Once you have the template inserted into the editor you will see how it will look, but more importantly, each template is designed to help you add the title, bullet points, and everything else you need for your ad.
I highly recommend you try all three templates by creating three separate ads to see how they look.
One thing to remember is not to try to create a web page with these templates. Your ad should not be any bigger than 600 x 300 pixels in size. Remember that members logging into their accounts are there to get work done and not read a long winded sales pitch. Sell the click through and be sure to send them to a lead capture page. Branding yourself and building your list is the most important job you have. Once you have them on your list you can send your link to the long winded sales page with the video and audio on it. 🙂

How To Build Your List With Text Ad ExchangesPosted on March 11th, 2010 No comments
It is vital that you use any traffic resource to do only two things…
1. Brand Yourself
2. Build Your List.
Manual traffic exchanges, safelists, and text ad exchanges are excellent sources for affordable advertising and work extremely well…. IF!
If you only use them to brand yourself and build your prospect list. If you are promoting a standard affiliate or referral link stop now! You are wasting your time and effort if you are doing this.
You must only use a lead capture page that also Brands yourself. Your photo and your lead capture form are all you need in your marketing.
Take a look at this page to see what I mean. As you can see it is very quick loading, is NOT selling anything, offers incentive to get on the list and brands me. This is all you need when you use text ad exchanges or any traffic resource.
Once you have people on your list that is the place to promote your primary business or favorite affiliate program. The autoresponder is your sales funnel and it is very effective!
So if you are still using a standard affiliate link in the text ad exchanges, I highly recommend you only use a branded capture page only! This will bring you much better results.
The Text Ad Exchange One Time Offer or O.T.O.Posted on August 20th, 2009 1 comment
Almost every text ad exchange, Superb Text Advertising included,
offers new members one chance to get the best price on the premium
advertising available on the exchange. In many cases the price is
lower than the price of upgrading in the members area. In other cases
the price is the same however the admin may offer you increased bonuses
in the way of extra credits, more solo ads, increased commissions,
log in ads with increased impressions, banners, and text links and more.
The text ad exchange O.T.O. question you need to ask yourself is this.
Are you serious about your online business? Serious Internet marketers
are always on the look out for the best bargain for their advertising
budget. If you have a free mentality about your business you will wind up with less advertising for your business. Free members rarely earn big commissions, rarely have enough premium advertising and must click for credits, often for days to get their ads out. usually you won't be able to send your ads out daily, but every few days instead. This is a not smart if you want consistant marketing and advertising. Serious marketers want their
ads in the traffic flow hourly!
The text ad exchange is a powerful marketing machine.
When you use a text ad exchange in your marketing and advertising you are
using a powerful ad machine designed for only one purpose. To bring guaranteed visitors to your business. Without a constant flow of traffic
your business will fail to produce the results you're looking for. If you
have the option to take the one time offer, if your budget allows, take it!
You will have the benefit of the best advertising features that exchange
has to offer. Superb Text Advertising offers a lifetime pro membership
for only a one time fee of $37.00 if you upgrade from inside the members
area. The one time offer is a better bargain and will give you a lot more
advertising you can use to get more people to your offers. Text ad exchanges are a great source of guaranteed traffic. Login daily!
Text Ad Exchanges and AutoRespondersPosted on July 11th, 2009 No comments
Today I just wanted to share with you a great video by Chase Swift who is a great network marketer and creates excellent videos. He also holds webanars each week for TrafficWave affiliates which includes the how and why to using this great autoresponder. In fact it's the only autoresponder that pays on ten levels and with real paper checks you can take to the bank! Trafficwave not only offers unlimited autoresponders but each one offers unlimited list sizes easily making TrafficWave the king of autoresponders. Not to mention the fact they offer unlimited trackers, and a reminder service all for the price of only $17.95 per month. TrafficWave has paid their affiliate members over one million dollars in commissions too which cements their place as the king of Autoresponders.
As Text ad exchange members we have many ways to get our ads out and to drive traffic to our online business, but if you're not using an autoresponder to build a targeted list you may be wasting your time, effort and in many cases your money too. If you aren't tracking your ads you are not seeing the real picture and you may be missing the mark when it comes to creating your income. Using TrafficWave's tracker you can track the solo ads, banner ads, your daily HTML and text ad posts, the traffic links and log in ads. I could on and on about the importance of tracking but suffice to say, if you're not tracking you are losing money daily. Why not plug into this proven, trusted and profitiable autoresponder , TrafficWave. Watch the video below and listen to Chase explain why TrafficWave is just a no brainer when it comes to deciding on which autoresponder to use for your business.
As always your comments are welcome.
Join my TrafficWave team today and I will give you real time support and help you setup your autoresponder and show you which buttons to press, which links to click and help you succeed.
Isn't it time you earn an income like a real human being?

How to Format Your Login Ads On text Ad Exchanges.Posted on May 6th, 2009 No comments
Proper Formatting Of Your Login Ads Will Increase Clicks!
As the admin of Superb Text Advertising it is my job to
approve all the ads submitted and one type of ad I approve
is the login ad. The login ad is a showcase for your best
offer and it very effective if it is properly formatted so
I wanted to address this today in this post so you can
create better login ads and increase your click through ratio
First thing to do is to log in to your members area at
Superb Text Advertising. Once you're in, click on the
Advertising button from the menu on the left.
The advertising page is an important part of your daily
marketing and once you understand how to place your ads
here, you will find it is similar at the other text ad
exchanges you may currently be a member of.
On the advertising page you can redeem Promo Code for
additional advertising on the exchange. You can purchase
points or addtional exposure using any of the methods
we offer.
To place your login ad scroll to the bottom of the
advertising page. There you will see red text that
may read:
You have 4 login ad(s) to add. Click here to set these up now.
Follow the direction and click the "click here" link. This will
take you to the HTML editor where you can create and place your
login ad.
The subject line is the most important part of your ad so
be sure to craft it well. You enter your subject which is
your headline of the ad in the subject box above the editor
Now here is where some people get mixed up as to how to
place html code or to make the links clickable and I am
here to tell you a little secret that will make your life
a little easier.
If you have a good image like the 600 x 300 images the
text ad exchanges use, you simply copy the full code for
that banner image, which includes your referral link already
in most cases, and past it into the editor.
However, you don't paste it into the WYSIWYG window. NO!
Instead, you click the little button on the editor that
says HTML next to the A in the editors toolbar. When you
Click that button it will open a new window with an open
blank space. This is where you paste your banner image
code! Once you have pasted it in, click the update button
on the lower left hand corner and you're done. You should
be able to see the image in the editors WYSIWYG window.
if you do, congradulations you did it! Click the button
to save your ad and that's it. You have placed your login
What if you don't have an appropriate image to use?
You can get very creative with the editor using just
text. You can change fonts, font size, colo and background
color of the text. You can add a table and more. Take
a few minutes to experiment with each of the buttons and
soon you will be an expert.
A word about your links!
When you want to add your link, you also want to make it
clickable and most importantly you want it to open in a
new window. I see links that are not clickable, they don't
open in new windows and in many cases the link leads
to an error or page not found. Always check your links
in the framebreaker tool and be sure the link opens
the correct page before you post your ad. This will
help get your ads approval expidited without delays.
Overall, login ads are a highly effective method of
getting new sign ups, and making new sales. I hope
this short instructions helps you get more from
your advertising on the text ad exchanges you're using
like Superb Text Advertising.
I invite your comments.

Question: "So do I just paste the picture in?"Posted on April 21st, 2009 No comments
I received an email today from someone asking a question regarding the HTML editor.
> Thanks for your reply. The html editor does not provide
> a "picture" or "image" icon. Just a link icon. So do I
> just paste the picture in? Will that make its way though
> to my email ad and out to the customer in tact?
> Thanks
The HTML editor is a simple hybrid WYSIWYG editor and HTML text editor all rolled into one.
If you want to just create simple text ads, you don't even need to use the formating tools which available to you. You can simply paste your plain text ad into the box, check the save ad box, and click Post HTML button to post your ad to the members. However, you can also get very creative with it by creating tables, bullet lists, Big bold headlines and even create hyper links to your website that open in a new window in your ad. You can achieve some amazing results from using the little HTML editors but how do you get the picture in there when there is no image or picture button provided? While it takes longer to explain how to do it than to perform the task I will try to explain it here for anyone to gain knowledge from.
How to add an image to your HTML ad.
Whenever I have a chance to post an HTML ad or log in ad, I use the 600 x 300 banner image because it fits just right on the page when the member is surfing the HTML ads. It also looks just right when used as a log in ad because of the space allowed for the ad. If your banner image is crafted well and provides good conversion, you could get a lot of new clients for your business to make more money.
So let's take a look at the simple steps you take to add the banner to your HTML ad. Keep in mind once you get this down, you will be able to post very quickly using the editors found in text ad exchanges. First take a look at the editor. Above the editor you will find the URL box. This is where your affiliate link or link to your web domain or blog goes. This is the link the person viewing HTML ads will click to visit your site while earning points.
The steps to add the banner to your HTML ad:
- Log in to your Superb Text Advertising account.
- From the menu on the left select post HTML ad.
- Enter your URL after checking it with the frame breaker test.
- Proceed to enter your URL into the form field above the editor.
- Copy the image tag that contains your referral banner so you can add it here.
- In the editor toolbar select the HTML button.
- A new window will open with a blank page. Paste the image HTML tag here.
- Click the update button at the lower left corner.
- Your banner should now be visible in the HTML editor window.
- Check the box to save your ad.
- Click the Post HTML ad button now.
That's it! You just posted your HTML ad.
This also applies to log in ads and yes solo ads as well.
Why does this work?
The secret to the reason why it works is not a secret but simple HTML.
The code for any website to show a banner or image or the family dog is the same no matter what. You use a small snippet of HTML code to call the image into the browser. That code looks like this.

Not much to look at but it is very powerful when you add the banner or image link to the tag or code like this.

You will want to replace the example link with the real link from the program you are promoting. To find the banner images in the text ad exchanges click on tools and stats button.
As you can see this is very quick and easy to do and every text ad exchange offers these little editors. Some have more features while others offer less. Either way, you as an advertiser don't really have to know much about HTML to get the results you're looking for. As the admin of our text ad exchanges we provide the banners, the simple HTML code you need and write the emails for you to use so you don't have to.
Where do I find the HTML code I need for my ads?
Log in to your favorite text ad exchange and click on Tools and Stats. This will take you to where the banners are. Scroll down if you need to in order to find the code for the 600 x 300 banner image. You will see the image tag and it will be surrounded by another tag. This is the hyperlink tag which is wrapped around the image tag in order to make the image click able. You only need the image part of the code. So you carefully copy only from  and stop highlighting right there. Now copy. Now paste it immediately into a blank notepad. Now you're ready to post it in all the HTML editors you will find in the text ad exchanges you belong to.
So here is what the code will look like before you copy the image tag out of it.

The highlighted part is the section you will want to copy and use in your HTML ads. This is not to say you won't need your basic referral link, you will, but not to post the HTML ads, because you enter the link above the HTML editor. Don't worry, if it's not quite clear. Go use it and familiarize yourself with the editor by posting your ads. If the ad you post doesn't look right simply make the changes by editing it until you like it. Don't rush this, a well crafted email or HTML ad, or log in advertising are very powerful so put your best offer forward.
I hope you have enjoyed today's tip, as always I invite your comments.

Promo Code Madness Causes Loss Of NINE Text Ad Exchanges!Posted on April 12th, 2009 No comments
Are We The Victim Or The Cause Of The Loss Of Nine Text Ad Exchanges?
In one day the text ad exchange industry has lost not one or two but nine text ad exchange at one time, some of which were very popular amoung Internet marketers and web business owners who make their living off the marketing power these types of sites provide. However recently we have also seen a tidal wave of Promo Codes being litterly thrown to the marketers who absolutely gobbled it up which could have led to the loss of the nine text ad exchanges this week. The desire for getting all the free advertising these promo codes offered was too hard to pass up. The codes provided were not dishing out samples of the services these sites provides, these codes often offered free pro upgrades and give the members enough advertising to promote forever on the exchanges.
It's Madness! – Promo codes are meant to be used as a way of an exchange owner to allow advertisers to sample the different advertising methods each exchange offers before deciding to pay the money for the lifetime membership upgrade or purchase advertising from the site. Lately, thousands of dollars in advertising was just thrown into hyperspace by many admins for all to use creating a frenzy of text ad exchange program hopping. Program or promo Hopping is when members hop from one promo code offer to another never really staying long enough in one exchange to take the time to set their accounts up completely.
In many cases people have been known to forget how many or which text ad exchanges they joined in one day, but they remember getting all the promo codes. The question is whether there was any advertising actually set into the traffic flow these sites who were offering the promo codes? Did we really just use the service or did we just "Use" the service to get all the free stuff we could?
If you're currently an active member of the exchanges your belong to, thank you. As an admin and for all the admins, I want to thank you because without your support and generosity, good admins of sites like the nine lost today get only one thing for their generosity.
They go out of business.

Carolyn + Dan. A Belmont Mansion Wedding in Philadelphia.
Outdoor Spring weddings in the Philly area are always such a risk. I run into clients all the time that just don't want to take the chance of having their wedding rained out so they take safe route and keep everything indoors. But that risk paid off big time for Carolyn and Dan. Their day was one of those handful of days during the year where the weather was absolutely perfect. I can't stress perfect enough. If you from the area you know what I'm talking about ... 100% sunshine, no humidity, not too hot, not too cold, no bugs at twilight, and the list just keeps on going. They knew it too. It was what everyone was talking about. Living in an area with such unstable weather allows us to really get excited when its as perfect as it was.
Their wedding day reflected the weather. Cool, bright, relaxed and just plain wonderful as you can tell from the pictures below ...

The GameCube version was released many months ago. So what did the wait for PSP get you? Well, other than some longer loading times and a smaller screen that makes it even tougher to see what the hell's happening, there's Dante from Devil May Cry. He's brought a few other DMC characters along, but honestly, they don't change much.
The PSP version also has local game sharing, so if you're dying to make some friends give the sensory overload a shot so you can all go to the eye doctor together later, the option's there. If you've gotta go it alone, there're some new trial missions that task you with specific goals within a given fight. The extra mode isn't a dealmaker, but if you can stand the main game, hey, here's some more.

Your students are individuals. Do your teaching materials treat them that way? Feldman's Understanding Psychology does.
Using a revolutionary revision process, Bob Feldman's Understanding Psychology is a fully integrated learning system that gives students an even greater opportunity to achieve success, and brings the Students First goal to a new level. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, and how they need it, so that your class time is more engaging and effective.
The thoroughly revised Eleventh Edition is a first of its kind, revised using "HeatMap" technology in which systematic and precise feedback from thousands of students was anonymously measured using LearnSmart, the adaptive learning diagnostic. Because virtually every paragraph in the previous edition is tied to several questions students answer in LearnSmart, Bob was able to see where students struggled most…the "hot spots"…and in turn refine and update these areas to be more clear, more concise, and more impactful.
The 11th edition continues Bob Feldman's accessible pedagogy and hallmark research, as well as his modules-within-chapters format that is both manageable for students and allows every professor the flexibility to assign and cover what they want. The 4 additional modules in CREATE give instructors even extra flexibility to completely cater their text to their course and their students.

The Sevenfold Crown
Raiding Servalan's HQ, the crew discover that she possesses a jewel that belongs to an ancient, long-lost crown, a mystical artifact of indescribable power. Suddenly the Scorpio crew are as determined as Servalon to acquire the circlet; but if they do, will absolute power corrupt Avon absolutely?
The Syndeton Experiment
Tired of running, Avon and company plan to settle down on the planet Syndexia. But Servalan is ahead of them, on the trail of the man who invented the nanochip, a device which offers total control over human beings. If Servalan reaches Dr Rossum first, she stands a chance of enslaving a whole population.
Additional Bonus Material
This special edition features bonus interviews with the cast, many taken from the BBC7 programme Zen and the Art of Blake's 7. Amongst those talking about their time on the TV and radio series are Paul Darrow (Avon), Michael Keating (Vila), Jacqueline Pearce (Servalan), Steven Pacey (Tarrant), and Peter Tuddenham (Zen, Orac, and Slave). There are also contributions from loyal fans of Blake's 7, including comedian Mitch Benn.
(P)2004 BBC Audiobooks
"Better then the TV series?"
This is first rate radio sci fi with an excellent cast and two well paced adventures. It's just a shame there isn't more of it! You don't have to be a fan of the series to understand or enjoy these stories, although obviously that adds to the whole expirience.
"The magnificent seven!"
Written by my uncle, I cannot be more proud of these. I think they are the most authentic radio series recordings. I love the big finish stuff, but somehow this is just soooo BBC.
Good stories, actors obviously having a whale of a time and the interlude between episodes is great; isn't included on the CD versions I note. I love the little winks at the audience re "old quarries", the digs at Beeb props, and Peter Tuffenham... "Let's do some more" that makes me sad because Big Finish took too long for him to do that.
Just a warning, the interlude between the stories has MAJOR SPOILERS if you are coming to Blakes 7 new. Listen to this after the final episode.
But I will just say that rumours of a certain persons death ARE greatly exaggerated. Thanks for clearing that up Paul. ;)
"Oh the memories!"
I bought this on a bit of a whim and genuinely wasn't sure it would be any good without the screen shots accompanying the dialogue.
I was so wrong,
I'm now looking for more to purchase as I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the full cast perform = those certain nuances& inflections that formed part of the great play between these characters, that only they could achieve has certainly stood the test of time.
Little bits have been added t explain what would be visible on tv to fill in gaps that would otherwise exist , they do not stick out and are totally in context,
Cast performance - spectacular in my humble opinion
yes, Paul Darrow's voice is still utterly wonderful- total "ear candy" as my young niece tells me such yummy voices are now called!
"One for the fans"
I really enjoyed this as a Blakes 7 fan. The original cast are just delightful. The Sevenfold crown is the best of the 2 stories but a bit too much technobabble. I liked the short cast interviews between the two stories.
"Good ol' Seven"
Felt like 3 lost episodes of Blake 7. Full cast, authentic music and sound effects, and good stories. A fun piece of Blake 7 history that's worth a nostalgic listen if nothing else.
"Sci fi"

Drought raises concerns about herbicide carryover into 2013
By DOUG SCHMITZ
Iowa Correspondent
HARLAN, Iowa — While agronomists predicted the effects of severe drought that scorched most of the Midwest last summer would likely cross over well into 2013, one of the more notable repercussions concerning farmers is herbicide carryover.
"Yes, there is some talk about carryover being an issue," said Clarke McGrath, Iowa State University extension field agronomist and partner program manager for the Iowa Corn & Soybean Initiative. "I might not characterize it as a widespread concern, but rather a sense of awareness based on experience."
As a young agronomist in the late 1980s, McGrath still recalls some of the herbicide carryover issues that followed 1988's drought.
"It was stressful for growers and their families, retailers and their families, and the local chemical reps as well," he said. "Our experiences (as agronomists) heighten our awareness of the issue. I was just a kid, but I will never forget the long summer of 1989."
When his dad was a retail co-op manager, McGrath said he watched him work hard with customers and chemical companies to help remediate damages from products applied in 1988 that carried over and damaged later crops. As a retailer himself for more than a decade, McGrath and his colleagues also saw carryover occasionally from smaller areas that were dry, even though "we hadn't had a widespread drought since 1988.
"But in these dry pockets, overlap areas would occasionally show serious crop response to carryover the next year," he said, "and then growers would question what was going on in the rest of the field."
While there may not have been many visual symptoms, McGrath said "guys would still worry that yield could be impacted.
"Typically, there wasn't a problem at harvest time other than the overlap areas, but once in a while there were bigger issues. So, with all that experience in mind for our clients, we will be watching."
According to John Sawyer, ISU extension soil fertility specialist and professor of agronomy, "the rapid pace of planting in late April followed by rain has resulted in many fields having emerged corn before preemergence herbicides and nitrogen applications have been completed.
"Of particular concern are no-till fields where planting was completed prior to killing emerged weeds," he said in a university report with Bob Hartzler, ISU extension weed specialist and professor of agronomy.
But McGrath said much depends on the type of herbicide used.
"A few of the herbicide active ingredients for corn and soybeans have characteristics that could lead to carryover in 2013," he said. "The high-risk category includes atrazine, chlorimuron (Authority XL, Canopy, Envive, Valor XLT and others), imazaquin (Scepter) and simazine (Princep and others)."
Bill Johnson, Purdue University extension weed specialist, said in a drought year the lack of moisture slows carryover. However, he said the largest concern last year was the carryover of atrazine and its subsequent injury on wheat. "It is off-label to plant any crop other than corn or sorghum during the same calendar year of an atrazine application," he pointed out.
While labels vary on exact rotational restrictions, Johnson said most atrazine premix labels range from 14-15 months. In addition, fomesafen applied post-emergence in soybeans could also injure wheat since the rotational restriction for fomesafen is only four months after application.
Johnson said the carryover time could be longer for areas with little, if any, rainfall. He said producers who applied a fomesafen product to soybeans last summer and haven't seen significant rain following application "should be aware of the potential for injury on emerging wheat."
For farmers suspecting carryover, Travis Legleiter, Purdue extension weed scientist, advised taking soil samples from suspected carryover fields and having them analyzed in a commercial lab – although this option could be costly.
"Both bioassays and lab analysis should either be done in late fall or early spring to allow for maximum herbicide degradation and provide a more representative result of potential injury at planting," he said.
The best management practices from start to finish, McGrath said, are: good residue and soil management; optimal seedbed conditions; proper seeding depth; optimum plant populations and spacing; sound soil fertility programs; and integrated pest management of weeds, insects and diseases can minimize the effects of herbicide carryover.
"Evaluate the 2012 herbicide program for compounds that pose a carryover risk," he said. "Consider rates, application date, soil characteristics and label restrictions. Keep in mind that if rainfall returns to normal, this rain will have much less effect on herbicide degradation than had it occurred near the time of herbicide application."
While tillage should dilute herbicide residues within the soil profile, McGrath added "past experience has shown that this practice does not consistently reduce crop injury from herbicide residues.
"The bottom line is that there is no great way to predict what will happen," he said, "so our role as growers is to implement the best management practices for the crop and do good scouting."

Conference on Judicial Ethics Planned at OKC University
Record, Journal, THE JOURNAL RECORD
A conference, Judicial Ethics in the Spotlight: Balancing Judicial Independence and Judicial Accountability after Republican Party of Minnesota vs. White, will be presented at Sarkeys Law Center at Oklahoma City University on Feb. 4.
The Oklahoma City University School of Law in conjunction with the American Judicature Society, will present the daylong conference.
The United States Supreme Court's decision in White loosened some of the restrictions on campaign speech that candidates for judicial office historically faced, said Alex P. Long, conference organizer and an OCU law professor.
As the most recent round of judicial elections in the states suggests, the court's decision has already had a dramatic influence on judicial elections and has raised numerous questions about the future of judicial selection and judicial ethics more generally.
Speakers will include Cynthia Gray, director of the American Judicature Society's Center for Judicial Ethics, who will lead a session entitled Campaign Misconduct and the Judicial Discipline Process, and Rachel Paine Caufield, research and program consultant to the Hunter Center for Judicial Selection at the American Judicature Society, who will lead The Republican Party of Minnesota v. …

The Kala Samui Koh Samui Reviews
2 reviews
Apr 10, 2013
Our stay at Kala was the best thing for us to begin our holiday. We truly relaxed and unwound in the peaceful and picturesque surroundings. Our pampering at the spa was exceptional, highly recommend this. Meals and service were wonderful...and the cocktails!!! The live entertainment each night by resident muso 'Jude' was enjoyable and a pleasant way to finish the day. We did venture into Chewang Beach for the markets one night but I'm so pleased we chose to stay at the Kala, removed from the glitz and noise. Hospitality was excellant. Highly recommend for a relaxing break away.

|Oracle® Enterprise Data Quality for Product Data Application Studio Reference Guide
Release 5.6.2
Part Number E23601-03
|View PDF
This chapter explains how to manage your DSAs.
You can quickly change variables that appear in your SQL statements throughout your DSA globally. This is very useful to ensure that variables are modified in all places to avoid errors, improves consistency, and avoids opening each SQL statement to modify it manually. The following two types of global variables can be changed:
There are two System Defined Variables,
&JOBID& and
&USERID&. If a SQL statement contains one of these two strings, the entire string, including the ampersands (
&), is replaced with the ID of the current job, or the ID of the user who created the job.
Defined by specifying a name and a value in the table. The name must consist of letters and numbers only; all other characters are invalid.
Use the following steps to change global variables:
From the Edit menu, select Edit Global Variables.
Note:All values entered are case insensitive.
Enter the names of the variables you want replaced in the Name field.
Enter the substitution values for each variable in the Substitution Value field.
Click OK.
All values are globally replaced in all SQL statements that contain the named values in your DSA.
The Application Studio DSA options that you can configure are restricting the use of DSAs to specific server types, running them with ultra-high priority, and the allowable number of database errors per job.
From the Tools menu, select DSA Options.
Select the Run Ultra-High Priority DSA check box to run all DSA jobs with the highest priority and click OK. You should use this option for DSAs that are designed to deliver super fast, single-line requests to the Oracle DataLens Server.
Note:No logging takes place so nothing is displayed in the Job Status page and the Job Id number is negative. Jobs that start and finish with a negative Job Id are shown in the
dataserver.log file.
Select the number of database errors that you want to allow before a job is terminated by the Oracle DataLens Server with the DB Update Fail Count control. When set to zero (the default), jobs continue to run regardless of a database failure and do not terminate.
Select one or more check boxes to indicate the Oracle DataLens Servers on which this DSA will be restricted for use and viewing by users.
You can restrict users from using and viewing DSAs on your various types of servers by using these check boxes in conjunction with editing a users roles for the use of the Application Studio on Role Administration page in the Oracle DataLens Servers Administration Web pages. For more information about role administration, see Oracle Enterprise Data Quality for Product Data Oracle DataLens Server Administration Guide.
Click OK to use the changed options immediately.
To set the global Application Studio options to be used throughout the application:
From the Tools menu, select Options.
Select the available controls as appropriate from the following:
Mouse Over = Select Check Box
Allows you to select nodes in the DSA simply by hovering over a node with the mouse pointer. This option is set by default.
Show Data Lenses Check Box
Allows you to toggle the display of data lenses in use in the DSA Component Tree pane. This option is set by default.
Drag Actual Step Check Box
Enables a visual effect that causes a step's connection lines to follow the step when it is being dragged to a new position; it has no impact on system processing. When disabled, the visual effect is that the step appears to be unconnected.
Scroll Viewport while Dragging Check Box
Enables a visual effect that automatically scrolls the view in the Graphical DSA Builder pane when you drag a node to the edge of the pane. This is useful for DSAs that are larger than the pane. When deselect, you must manually scroll the display when you drag a node to the edge of the pane to view the rest of the DSA and continue dragging the node.
Ghosting Percent List
Allows you to select the level of ghosting on the steps when the Show All Lines option is not selected. This option is set to 100% by default. For more information about toggling the lines in the Graphical DSA Builder, see "Graphical DSA Builder Pane".
Test Delay List
This setting controls the delay between consecutive steps changing color during single-line testing of a map. This option is set to 0% by default.
Click the Arrowheads tab.
Select the available controls as appropriate from the following:
Show Arrowheads Check Box
Allows you to toggle the arrowheads on the DSA connection lines on and off.
Line Connection Offset List
Allows you to set how far away the connection line is from the step. The maximum is 40 pixels.
Arrowhead Length and Width Lists
Allows you to set how long and wide you want the arrowheads to appear in the Graphical DSA and Map Builders. The maximum length is 20 pixels; the maximum width is 12 pixels.
Click OK.
All of your selections are immediately implemented.
The following sections explain the actions you must take so that your DSA interacts with your Oracle DataLens Server.
Check in the current DSA to the Oracle DataLens Server so that you can use your DSA to process data.
From the DSA menu, click Check-In… or use the toolbar button of the same name.

Follow Renee's journey in discovering self through writing and reading poetry, making art and photographing the simple gifts that nature and life bring to her.
Sunday, March 13, 2011
In my journey to connect my writing and my art I have gone from using quotes in my collages and mixed media work, to twining my poetry around my art. In rediscovering the zen-like art of writing haiku I found a perfect match. The brief three lines of haiku, along with the tiny and universal image the words create, make a perfect addition to my mixed media and watercolor art. I have been reading many books on writing haiku, including "The Poetry of Zen" by Sam Hamill, "The Haiku Handbook" by William J. Higginson, and "haiku mind" by Patricia Donegan. These books have given me the skills to write haiku as well as the mindset in which to capture a miniscule moment of my day and put it into words. I add meditation sessions and walks in nature to inspire me and bring me the peace in which haiku may grow and bloom in my art work.

Jackson, Miss. (WTNH) — A family is outraged after an employee at a KFC reportedly told their three-year-old daughter she needed to leave. They said her face "scared diners."
Victoria Wilcher was attacked by three pit bulls a few weeks ago. She suffered severe injuries, including a broken jaw, her nose, her cheekbones, and her right eye socket. Victoria also lost her right eye, and has already undergone multiple surgeries.
Her grandmother said she'd taken Victoria in that KFC for a snack. According to her, the employee said, "We have to ask you to leave because her face is disrupting our customers."
A post about the incident that appeared on Victoria's Facebook support page, "Victoria's Victories," got shared over 2,000 times.
KFC has since launched an investigation into the matter.
According to ABC News, they're giving $30,000 to Victoria and her family to help pay her medical bills.

Rosetta-gami B Incubation Time - (Jul/09/2012 )
Hey there,
I'm working on expressing a T. congolense protein in the Rosetta-gami B cells and while I am able to purify my target with no issues, I'm not entirely happy with the yield of protein I am seeing. I plan on setting up an autoinduction to run over the weekend, so incubating the cells for between 48 and 72 hours before harvesting, and hoping that my yield is better. How long is too long for this cell type, does anybody know?
i would say 48 to 72 h is far to long for expression in E. coli ...it is not very reasonable to do it that way since the carbon source is depleted quite fast in batch mode ...and than your bugs start to starve and induce proteases that will degarde your protein.
If you want to increase yield it is more advisable to try to increase the total cell mass (e.g. by using richer medium like terrific broth or adding more glucose/glycerol whatever) and keep your culture induced for 2-4h (or even overnight). What i have seen so far is that the solubility gets worse with time for most of the proteins and overnight you end up with a huge amount of insoluble protein. Therefore, i always recommend short induction time but a high biomass concentration.

A senior Executive at AMD told Fudzilla that they believe that Quad Cores will be overkill for most mainstream applications from now to eternity. They expect that a normal mainstream user won't really need a Quad Core in the next few years as there is no need for such processing power.
He agrees that you can utilize two cores and put them to good use, but it gets tough with three, four or even eight cores.
If you are doing some encoding and decoding, rendering and video editing you are considered a high-end user and you will certainly put these four cores to good use; but if your machine mainly runs Excel and Word, followed by Media Player and a browser you won't really need four cores.
This is the real truth, but with such price drops the industry will force you to migrate to Quad Cores, as the chip manufacturers don't have any other choice.

I once went to a young embroiderers class when I was about 13 and loved it. It got me inspired to have a go at all things crafty and I would love the chance to learn something new.

The best creative class that I've undertaken was a lino block printing course at Tea and Crafting in London. I was amazing how accessible and cathartic it was and it gave me the confidence to sign up for screen printing course in January with my boyfriend!

I have had a sewing machine for ages but not really used it. I went on a sewing class recently and what was great was that it inspired me to go home and make matching night dresses for me and my daughter. She really loved it. Other classes I've tried have not been as successful…

Russian Sub Patrols Reminiscent Of Cold War
Two Russian submarines have been operating in the waters off the U.S. coast. The maneuvers, though commonplace during the Cold War, are unusual today. Although the Pentagon does not see the subs as a security threat, the development does raise questions about whether Russia is trying to reassert itself militarily.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
Now to a story that sounds as if it were ripped from the pages of a Cold War spy novel. Russian attack submarines are circling off the East Coast of the United States. Defense officials say the subs are in international waters and pose no security threat, but they do seem calculated to reassert Russian military might, as NPR's Mary Louise Kelly reports.
MARY LOUISE KELLY: It's been at least a decade since Russia last sent nuclear-powered submarines to patrol the U.S. coastline. Now, U.S. intelligence is tracking two such subs, but they remain several hundred miles off the coast. And at the Pentagon today, spokesman Jeff Morrell said there's no reason to regard them as a threat.
Mr. JEFF MORRELL (Spokesman, Pentagon): So long as they are operating in international waters, as frankly we do around the world, and are behaving in a responsible way, they are certainly free to do so and it doesn't cause any alarm within this building.
KELLY: Still, Morrell did acknowledge that in just the last year or two, Russia has stepped up efforts to project military clout.
Mr. MORRELL: We've seen long-range Russian bombers fly to South America. We've seen the Russian naval forces make their way down to South America as well. So clearly, there is an effort on their part to project force around the world, or at least to take excursions around the world. And we note it, and we're mindful of it but again, no one here is overly concerned by it.
KELLY: Besides force projection, another motive for the sub patrols, which were first reported by the New York Times, may be spying. Tom Graham served as the National Security Council's senior director for Russia during the Bush administration.
Mr. TOM GRAHAM (Former Senior Director for Russia, National Security Council): Certainly, part of this effort would be to pick up intelligence.
KELLY: And not only are the Russians trying to spy on the U.S., Graham says they're trying to learn how much U.S. intelligence knows about what they're up to. The very fact that the U.S. can track these subs may be valuable information to Russia.
Mr. GRAHAM: This was done repeatedly throughout the Cold War. We wanted to test the other side's ability to react to something - how quickly the radars go up, for example, how quickly they're able to intercept, and so forth. So, any effort like this, it would be surprising if the Russians weren't also gathering intelligence on U.S. capabilities.
KELLY: Those capabilities include underwater sensors, U.S. Navy submarines, planes flying patrols off aircraft carriers - all designed to track enemy movements underwater, all capabilities finely honed during the Cold War. But there are some key differences this time from the way things were done back then, says Eric Wertheim. Wertheim wrote the U.S. Naval Institute's guide "Combat Fleets of the World." He says it's important to note the type of submarines Russia sent.
Mr. ERIC WERTHEIM (Author, "Naval Institute Guide to Combat Fleets Of the World): These submarines are not ballistic missile submarines. They're not the kind of submarines that launch nuclear attacks on cities. These are the kind of submarines that are designed to hunt other submarines, to attack ships and to collect intelligence. That's a very big difference from the kind that we were used to thinking about in terms of nuclear war and things like that.
KELLY: Wertheim also notes that Russia may be playing to more than one audience here. Russia's defense industry, he says, is keen to market its wares to countries building up their own military capabilities - India, for example. And he notes the submarines currently patrolling off the U.S. coastline are the same type that Russia has been trying to sell. Not exactly a hunt for Red October, but certainly a 21st century plot line.

A FAMILY has thanked the people who have helped to make one little boy's school life easier.
Kieron Strange has the neuromuscular condition Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Now eight, he has been in a wheelchair since the day before his sixth birthday.
His school, Seal Primary Academy, has installed hoists and other equipment to make his school life easier. Now, it is fundraising for a folding mobile hoist so Kieron can go on school trips without his mum, Teresa, having to lift him in and out of his wheelchair.
Fundraising received a boost just before Christmas when local company Highhouse Insurance, based in Selsey High Street, donated £1,000.
Kieron's grandmother, Lynn Strange, thanked the company for its donation, presented by Neil Kimber.
"I would just like to say a really big thank you because it is really going to help him and improve his life a little bit," she said.
She also thanked school staff for all their support and the Sussex Snowdrop Trust.
"They are absolutely brilliant, you can't fault them at all," she said.
Teresa said she 'really appreciated' the donation and support.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by the lack of a protein called dystrophin, leading to progressive muscle weakness and a reduced life expectancy. Around 100 boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy are born in the UK every year.
Speaking about Kieron's progression, Lynn said: "Up until he was four years old he was fine.
"Then he started falling over."
Kieron's younger brother and sister, Chloe and Daniel, are also now pupils at Seal.
"Daniel does a lot for him, he is like is little carer," said Lynn.
"Kieron can't even lift up a cup. It is heart-breaking to see."
Seal headteacher Matt Batchelor said: "This very generous donation has resulted in the school being able to purchase a mobile hoist for Kieron which means he will be able to participate greater in school trips, and helps reinforce the inclusive ethos of the school."

In addition to nationwide listings in Ocado and Morrisons, spoiltpig sausages have secured a place in 80 Tesco stores in the south west.
The brand is owned by Denhay Farms, and their sausages are made entirely from pigs that are outdoor reared and are approved by the Freedom Foods label.
Jim Loescher, managing director for Denhay Farms, said: "Being recognised by Tesco in the south west is a big move for the spoiltpig brand and, I believe, a reflection of increasing consumer demand for high-welfare, high-quality meat products. We saw our bacon start as a regional listing and build to a national one to satisfy these demands so we're looking forward to a successful future with Tesco."
The Freedom Food label adheres to strict RSPCA welfare codes and is the only UK farm assurance scheme that focuses completely on improving the welfare of farm animals reared for food.
Denhay Farms is a jointly owned family business that has been farming in Dorset for more than 60 years.
The sausages are available as both pork & herb and pork varieties and retail at £2.89 for six sausages.

Doug Anonymous broke the shit out of my heart back at NYU in 1981. He was this gorgeous Italian dude who was dating my roommate, who at the time was Junior Miss Cape May, New Jersey. I was dating his roommate Anonymous Anonymous. He was no Doug, but then again, I was far from being crowned Junior Miss Queens, New York.
We all lived next door to each other on the 10th floor of Reuben Hall in the Village. Months went by until I finally realized that I had a major crush on Doug. I always knew I liked him more then he liked me, and although Junior Miss was way cuter, I had my Queens thing going for me. I knew I was funny and adventurous, but the most important thing was that Doug and I just got each other right from the start.
I guess it began when he let me copy off of his papers in our Intro to Writing class, which made me like him even more. We also spent a lot of time waiting around for Miss Cape May and AA, and it was during these hours together when we actually fell in love.
Doug was so beautiful that he was hired to greet people as they entered Studio 54. He was smart, understood my jokes and had a movie star's sparkle to his smile. He once wrote me a "like" letter that I wanted so badly to preserve that I Scotch-taped the whole thing, only to dig it out years later and watch it disintegrate into yellow flakes in my hands.
For my 19th birthday, he wrote me a few quotes from a Shakespeare sonnet, replacing the word "love" with "like." Maybe I should have read that as a sign.
He eventually broke up with Cape May and I broke up with Double A, and we very slowly become a couple. I'd bring him home to Queens to hang out with my family and my grandmother loved him despite his being a goyim. He became great friends with my older sister, and actually years later, when I left the apartment I was sharing with her to get married, Doug became her roommate and lived in my old bed.
So Doug was my boyfriend and I was beyond happy. To be honest, I couldn't believe he really chose me. I was a round-faced Deadhead and he was a Greek god from Italy. But we connected. We talked for hours and hours about life, saw films, went clubbing — we were just two kids having so much fun in the big city. He never did come with me to any Grateful Dead shows, which I should have taken as another sign.
About six months into our relationship, I was waiting on line in the dining hall for breakfast when I overheard two girls in front of me talking. Stacey was telling her roommate Julie about this amazing date she had the other night. How she and this guy took a bath with candles lit everywhere, and how he was the hottest thing ever. Then Stacey asked what room he lived in, and … I'm sure you know where I'm going with this.
My first reaction was a mix of disbelief and a gut punch to my already low self-esteem. Then my flower child, Deadhead side kicked in with the whole "love the one you're with" vibe. I laughed inside, knowing how bizarre this was and how dramatic it was going to be when I confronted Doug.
I decided to play it cool and went up to his room later that afternoon. "Doug," I said with all of the enthusiasm of a young Sarah Jessica Parker, "I overheard the craziest conversation this morning." He immediately got quiet and fidgety and just sort of stared out into space.
"Don't worry about it, man," I said, finally letting him off the hook. "Shit happens."
Deep down, I was beyond crushed, as I really did love him. He was my best friend and maybe because it began as a friendship, we were eventually able to go back to square one. Or maybe it's just because girls from Queens are cool that way, who knows?

We've lost count of how many remixes there have been for Phoenix's single, "Entertainment," but from Grizzly Bear to Blood Orange, the song's been around. The latest comes from Dirty Projectors, who isolate Thomas Mars' vocals and pair it with some glitchy, handclap-centric production. Listen to the remix below.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) – A series of raids conducted by the FBI in December 2012 has prompted the indictment of three men, including Michael Fabini. According to court documents, Fabini faces more than 40 charges for his involvement in what appears to be a major marijuana trafficking ring.
NewsChannel 15 has uncovered court documents that detail charges against Michael Fabini related to drug manufacturing, trafficking and unlawful financial transactions. A total of 44 counts are included in the indictment.
The charges against him include six counts of marijuana trafficking dating back to 2007 and 38 counts of money laundering.
Fabini is accused of spending $224,910.97 in cash received from drug trafficking. He is said to have spent the money in 36 different payments to four different businesses from May 14, 2010 to March 28, 2011.
Court documents also allege:
- Fabini transferred $70,154.99, gained from drug trafficking, from J.P.M. Chase Bank to Star Financial Bank.
- Fabini deposited $15,000, gained from drug trafficking, into a Wells Fargo Bank account of Research Landings, Inc.
A man named Marshall Butler has also been named in three of the charges with Fabini. Butler is charged with three counts of marijuana trafficking.
In one charge, Fabini and Butler are accused of being involved with a property on Antwerp Road in Harlan back in 2008. NewsChannel 15 discovered the same property had been raided by the Allen County Sheriff's Department on March 6, 2008.
During the 2008 raid, officials seized almost three and a half tons of marijuana, making it the largest marijuana bust in Allen County history. Matthew McChesney was arrested and later sentenced to 27 years for the estimated $6 million bust.
It would appear officials have been trying to link Fabini to the McChesney bust since 2008.
A man named Jamison Gudorf, 40, has also been indicted. He's charged with having a machine gun not registered to him and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
According to Allen County tax records, someone with the last name Gudorf owns a property at 10110 Unita Drive on the southwest side of Fort Wayne. That's the same property the FBI raided in December and removed dozens of rifles.
According the court documents, if Fabini is convicted of any of the counts against him, he would be forced to forfeit his home at 6619 Cherry Hill Parkway, as well as some other equipment.
The Cherry Hill home has had a lot improvements done in recent years. The Allen County assessor's office valued the home at $277,500 in 2009. But after improvements made under Fabini's ownership, the value ballooned to $675,000 as of May 2012.
Michael Fabini made an initial court appearance on Thursday without an attorney. A detention/arraignment hearing was scheduled for March 5 at 2:00 p.m. in U.S. District Court.
December Raids
Ten properties were raided over two days in December that were said to be connected to Fabini, including one owned by the accused's brother, former NFL player Jason Fabini.
Jason Fabini was not named in the indictment. He maintained innocence throughout the raids and following investigations.
Agents were seen removing items, including armfuls of guns, from several of the properties.
