If you are interested in this popular form of marketing please contact us today. We look forward to hearing from you.
Put simply, it is a way to promote your company, product or service over the radio through the medium of short audio adverts (typically 30 seconds long), which are broadcast on commercial stations across the country.
These radio adverts typically run in between songs, chat and news bulletins and are used by a variety of companies due to their ability to reach a huge cross-section of society.
Radio ads are used for a variety of messages; from commercial selling through to public service messaging and information.
Radio costs are reasonable when compared to other forms of marketing, meaning that it subsequently achieves a great return on investment; this is one of its main advantages and why it is used by companies and a range of industry, time after time, week after week.
If you would like FREE quotes on radio advertising contact us today.
We often get asked "how much does it cost to advertise on the radio?" or "what are the going rates for radio ads?". As with any form of marketing it depends on a number of factors - with different stations naturally have different costs due to the size of their audience and listenership.
The factors which broadly determine the cost of radio advertising are outlined below but for more information drop us a message and we will explain in more detail:
Taking in the above factors you can see that planning an effective radio campaign can be quite complicated, however, we will work with you and your specific budget to put together the most suitable package.
Simply drop us a message today and we will send over more specific information and radio advertising costs.
The simple answer is yes!
When you think about it, most people listen to the radio on a daily basis; in their homes, at work and also when driving, therefore radio advertising is a great way to reach a mass amount of people quickly as they go about their daily lives.
This mass reach is one of the main benefits of radio advertising; it can hit millions of people all at once. Most forms of marketing media (apart from TV advertising) cannot claim to achieve this, whilst radio adverts manage to do this at a fraction of the price of TV advertising.
However, even though radio ads hit a huge number of listeners this isn't untargeted as stations have different demographics e.g. younger people tend to listen to Capital FM, older listeners tend to tune into Smooth and Heart FM. Our teams will help match your product and message to the most suitable stations.
This targeting is the main reason radio achieves brilliant results time after time and why radio advertising effectiveness is high; radio has high reach but wastage is reduced as these people are targetted.
The value for money of radio advertising is another reason it is popular with many advertisers and companies.
As radio listeners represent a great cross-section of society (and there is a huge amount of station to choose from), advertising on radio works for most businesses and is a popular form of marketing employed by a range of companies from diverse industries.
The most popular types of companies who advertise on radio through our teams at PromoMEDIA include:
If you would like to book a radio campaign contact us today for more information.
When thinking about which station to go for, put yourself in the mind of your potential customer and think "what station would they listen to"?
Selecting the right station is the key to all successful campaigns, there isn't one station better than the other per se but there will be one which is most suitable for your aims and ambitions.
The most popular radio campaigns we run at PromoMEDIA are:

Advertising on the radio is a great addition to any marketing campaign. It can work either as a single piece of marketing or part of a wider promotional plan.
If you are looking to combine marketing on the radio with other options the below typically work well:
PromoMEDIA can also book all these various other marketing options as well, to position you confidently in the eyes and ears of your target market.
With your adverts you must remember that the audience can only listen to your product or service being described by words - they obviously can't see it - this means you need to create an innovative advert which will catch their attention. Also, you don't have much time - 30 seconds is not a lot of time to describe what you are offering - so you must get to the point and be clear and concise.
Sometimes catchy phrases and slogans work and a good sound bed can attract attention further - but also just being clear and direct is important; don't try and cram too much in.
Some advertisers also use jingles which can be highly effective to "stick in the minds" of potential purchasers, however, you have to strike the balance between being fun and being annoying, it can be a close call!
To summarise we would say; try not to be too clever, as when you think about it, most listeners are doing other things - working, driving etc - so get to the point and don't be too confusing. You just need to grab their attention and encourage them to seek more information at a later time.
Yes! We have a team of experts who can create these ads for you for at a fantastic price.
Often if you get an ad made directly by a station it costs a premium fee plus it is often easier to get your ad produced independently so that you can work on it and perfect it over a period of time until you are 100% happy with it.
Get in touch today and we can help you make your advert with our radio ad production team at a brilliant rate. When producing this for you we, of course, take into account best practices as outlined by the Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB). We will also help with script-writing, bed creation and finding a suitable voice-over artist to match with your individual needs.
Our top tip would be to get an "ear-catching" advert so that it stands out; something clear, catchy and to the point works best.
As a radio advertising, our advice is simply - do it!
Here at PromoMEDIA, we love this form of advertising as we know it works and have seen the results many many times for differing clients.
Like any form of marketing we understand that making that outlay and taking a gamble can be tricky; will you see the results? Will the results be positive?
The truth is you never know until you take that plunge.
We always believe that action creates results, so rather than over-analyse and debate, we would always recommend that (within reason) marketing spend is an investment and worth it.
You never know until you try!

Bom Cafe
- 50% off
- Only on the App
- Inman Square
- Brazilian, Cafes
Entering Bom Café is like temporarily leaving Inman Square for some place… exotic; someplace that gets much better weather and has some of the best coffee and juices in town.Literally meaning good coffee in Portuguese, Bom Cafe is a little canteen offering authentic Brazilian eats like omelettes, fried plantains and linguinca (smokey and spicy Portuguese sausage) sandwiches, plus natural-juice smoothies, and coffee and tea o'plenty. Owner Antonio Gomes is Brazilian by birth but in his 30 years here he's noticed a need for delicious, slow-brewed coffee and wholesome South American cuisine: "No more D&D," he says. And we can get down with that.
Entering Bom Café is like temporarily leaving Inman Square for some place…exotic, some place that gets much better weather. Burlap-covered tables are neatly arranged in the breezy, open dining room; Gerber daisies cheerfully rest in teacups on the windowsill. And there's Antonio, in his panama hat and round, tortoise shell glasses, happily cooking and greeting guests from behind the counter. This felt like vacation.
We ordered an Acai bowl and chatted with Antonio about the fresh juices he makes in-house and the Brazilian coffee he sources through a roaster in Everrett, a small roasting company called Common Ground. He told us about the vegetarian and gluten-free options he's added to his menu, and all about Acai (a "special fruit from the Amazon" loaded with protein, vitamins and minerals). The bowl was a delightfully refreshing treat, like a thick smoothie in a large bowl, topped with granola, bananas and strawberries. Heartier fare caught our eye (and smelled amazing), as well, like the breakfast sandwiches on torpedo rolls and yucca homefries. But for those we'll have to wait until we go back. Tomorrow.
Menu Highlights:
Linguica Sandwich, $6.95
Acai Bowl, $6
Cheese Bread Authentic Brazilian Treat, $2 Large
Baked all day!
Monday - Saturday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Happy 20th anniversary, Soap Opera Weekly! Congratulations to the generations of writers, editors, production, art and business people who have worked on the magazine over the years. I was lucky to be one of them, from its launch on November 21, 1989 through the magazine's first eleven years. Each week, under the pen name Marlena De Lacroix, I wrote Critical Condition, the magazine's ultra popular, original critical/humor column — 543 of them!
Some say SOW was an instant success because soaps were so much better then or because there were so many more millions of soap viewers in 1989. Both are true. But I think SOW's success can be attributed primarily to the fact that it was a timely, excellent, fair-minded, professionally done magazine. It became a legend because in its first 11 years, it demonstrated courage and integrity in being absolutely honest about the soap opera world.
Jon-Michael Reed's break-though Daytime TV Serials Magazine in the 70s pioneered the serious view of soap opera and a few other soap magazines had periodically done the same in the 80s. But it was [Read more…]

How Does The Film2USB TM Converter Work?
Prepare Your Film2USB™ Converter
First, load your slides or negatives into either the negative holder or the slide holder. Then, plug the converter into any free USB port on your computer, or into a wall outlet. Then, just turn on your converter, and you're ready to start scanning your slides and negatives!
Start Scanning Your Slides & Negatives!
It's time to turn your old photos and slides into digital format! Just move the slide & negative holder until you see a photo or slide on the screen of the converter. Then, press the "Scan" button and your digital photo will be saved onto the included memory card.
Transfer Your Digitalized Photos To Your Computer
Finally, just set your converter to "Playback" mode and connect it your PC or Mac, if it isn't already. Then, you'll be able to transfer the photos to your computer. You can also simply remove the memory card from your converter and insert into a card reader on your computer.
The Film2USB Converter arrived yesterday afternoon. My only complaint is that now I can get NOTHING else done because I am working on piles and piles of slides!
Thank you for a product that works, isn't terribly expensive, is easy to use, and doesn't take up much storage space. So simple, so useful, so much fun. The quality of the scanned slides is great, and best of all, no software necessary for the computer! I'm going to check out your other products for sure. Thank you for a great product!
Nancy Hohmann | Norway, ME
Film2USB is a must have! I couldn't believe the ease of use, I was saving my slides in less than three minutes out of the box. I found ClearClick several years ago and have purchased many of their products. Let me just say I have never been disappointed. Customer Service is always there to help and will talk to you in a language anyone can understand. They will take care of your issues and FAST! I am in no way affiliated with this company, but when I find one that stands behind their great products, I will offer my honest opinion in hopes of helping others find great products and a great company!
Scott Sichley | Boring, OR
After purchase, I received an e-mail from the CEO of your company. He invited comments. I hope this comment makes his read pile! I have about 3,500 35mm slides dating back to 1956 that I want to capture to my hard drive. I began that labor of love yesterday. I am absolutely delighted with the ease of use and functioning of the Film2USB device.
James Meister | Little Rock, AR
We just received the Film2USB Converter and the wife has put it to good use,its very simple to operate and produces high quality pictures from our slides. We will show it to all our relatives and friends. I liked that everything I needed was in one package... All and all a very good product we will recommend it to others. Thank you!
George Coma | Winlock, WA
I used the Film2USB Converter to make a slide show covering 30 years of my family history. The converter worked flawlessly. This was the third converter brand I have tried (the other two did not work) and was absolutely overwhelmed by the fact that for about $100 and a little time, I was able to retrieve and store on modern media so many memories.
Mitch Whorton | Napa, CA
I have downloaded over 50 old slides from my family that were from the 60's and 70's can't wait to put them on a CD and send them out to share with my family.
Product was easy to use and the results were great.
Carol Strub | Wheeling, IL
For my father's memorial, we wanted to convert his 600+ family slides into a video presentation. I looked at companies that would do that for me, and the cost was prohibitive. I purchased the Film2USB, but have to admit I was skeptical about its capabilities. However, I was extremely pleased, and very impressed, with how easy it worked, and how well the images reproduced. Your product will help make this event very, very special. Easy to order, quick to arrive, and worked as promised... you can't ask for any more than that! Thank you so much!
Suzie Couger | Dublin, OH
I wanted to let you know that we love the Film2USB Converter. We have converted over 200 slides to a digital format. The slides look amazing on the computer. We are so excited to have the availability of the images to use in a variety of ways. It has been fun to randomly post old photos on facebook to share with friends and family. The Film2USB Converter is fast and easy to use. With the build in memory card and USB cord it takes only seconds to convert a slide to a usable digital image. Thank you so much for this amazing product.
The Winkelmans | Roscoe, IL
Negatives don't last forever. After a few decades, they start to deteriorate and may become unreadable. Turn them into digital format now so that you won't lose them forever!
Instead of having your photos sit in your closet, turn them to digital format and make it easy to remember, organize, and share those memories of friends and family.
The Film2USB Converter™ makes it easy to convert your memories to digital format. It takes only a few minutes to set up, and just a few seconds to scan each photo or slide.
Your Purchase Is 100% Guaranteed.
If you are not completely happy with your purchase, simply get it back to us within 14 days of receiving it. You'll promptly receive a full refund. (Unopened purchases can be returned within 60 days.) The Film2USB™ Converter also comes with a Full 1-Year Warranty.

Day2 IBM Executive Sessions
Visits (14072)
This week several IBM executives will present at the 28th Annual Data Center Conference here in Las Vegas. Here is a quick recap:
With IBM's compelling vision for the future, best of breed solutions, leadership in management software, extensive experience in services, and solid business industry knowledge, it makes sense to tap IBM to help with your next IT transformation.

Day2 Data Protection Strategies
Visits (10991)
Continuing my coverage of the Data Center Conference, Dec 1-4, 2009 here in Las Vegas, this post focused on data protection strategies.
Two analysts co-presented this session which provided an overview of various data protection techniques. A quick survey of the audience found that 27 percent have only a single data center, 13 percent have load sharing of their mission critical applications across multiple data centers, and the rest use a failover approach to either development/test resources, standby resources or an outsourced facility.
There are basically five ways to replicate data to secondary locations:
A question came up about the confusion between "Disaster Recovery Tiers" and Uptime Institute's "Data Center Facilities Tiers". I agree this is confusing. Many clients call their most mission critical applications as Tier 1, less critical as Tier 2, and least critical as Tier 3. In 1983, IBM User Group GUIDE came up with "Business Continuity Tiers" where Tier 1 was the slowest recovery from manual tape, and Tier 7 was the fastest recovery with a completely automated site, network, server and storage failover. However, for Data Center facility tiers, Uptime has the simplest least available (99.3 percent uptime) data center as Tier 1, and the most advanced, redundant, highest available (99.995 percent) data center as Tier 4. This just goes to show that when one person starts using "Tier 1" or "Tier 4" terminology, it can be misinterpreted by others.

Day3 Emerging Storage Technologies
Visits (12772)
Continuing my coverage of the Data Center Conference, held Dec 1-4 in Las Vegas, an analyst presented the challenges of managing the rapid growth in storage capacity. Administrators ability to manage storage is not keeping up with the growth. His recommendations:
A survey of the audience found:
Throughout the industry, storage vendors are following IBM's example of using commodity hardware parts. This is because custom ASICs are expensive, and changes take a minimum of three months development time. Software-based implementations can be updated more quickly.
In terms of technologies deployed of SAN, NAS, Compliance Archive (such as the IBM Information Archive), and Virtual Tape Library (VTL) such as the IBM TS7650 ProtecTIER data deduplications solution, here was the survey of the audience:
Cost reduction techniques including thin provisioning, compression, data deduplication, Quality of Service tiers, and archiving. To reduce power and cooling requirements, switch from FC to SATA disk wherever possible, and move storage out of the data center, such as on tape cartridges or cloud storage.
For emerging technologies, the following survey:
My take-away from this is that many companies are still "exploring" into different options available to them. Fortunately, IBM offers a broad portfolio of complete end-to-end solutions to make acquiring the right mix of technologies that are optimized for your workloads possible.

Day3 Mountains Hiding in the Mist
Visits (15089)
Continuing my coverage of the Data Center Conference 2009, held Dec 1-4 in Las Vegas, the title of this session refers to the mess of "management standards" for Cloud Computing.
The analyst quickly reviewed the concepts of IaaS (Amazon EC2, for example), PaaS (Microsoft Azure, for example), and SaaS (IBM LotusLive, for example). The problem is that each provider has developed their own set of APIs.
(One exception was [Eucalyptus], which adopts the Amazon EC2, S3 and EBS style of interfaces. Eucalyptus is an open-source infrastrcture that stands for "Elastic Utility Computing Architecture Linking Your Programs To Useful Systems". You can build your own private cloud using the new Cloud APIs included Ubuntu Linux 9.10 Karmic Koala termed Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC). See these instructions in InformationWeek article [Roll Your Own Ubuntu Private Cloud].)
The analyst went into specific Virtual Infrastructure (VI) and public cloud providers.
If you prefer a common management system independent of cloud provider, or perhaps across multiple cloud providers, you may want to consider one of the "Big 4" instead. These are the top four system management software vendors: IBM, HP, BMC Software, and Computer Associates (CA).
A survey of the audience found the number one challenge was "integration". How to integrate new cloud services into an existing traditional data center. Who will give you confidence to deliver not tools for remote management of external cloud services? Survey shows:
Some final thoughts offered by the analyst. First, nearly a third of all IT vendors disappear after two years, and the cloud will probably have similar, if not worse, track record. Traditional server, storage and network administrators should not consider Cloud technologies as a death knell for in-house on-premises IT. Companies should probably explore a mix of private and public cloud options.

Day4 Return of OS Wars
Visits (14090)
Continuing my coverage of last week's Data Center Conference 2009, held Dec 1-4 in Las Vegas, I attended an interesting session related to the battles between Linux, UNIX, Windows and other operating systems. Of course, it is no longer between general purpose operating systems, there are also thin appliances and "Meta OS" such as cloud or Real Time Infrastructure (RTI).
One big development is "context awareness". For the most part, Operating Systems assume they are one-to-one with the hardware they are running on, and Hypervisors like PowerVM, VMware, Xen and Hyper-V have worked by giving OS guests the appearance that this is the case. However, there is growing technology for OS guests to be "aware" they are running as guests, and to be aware of other guests running on the same Hypervisor.
The analyst divided up Operating Systems into three categories:
The analyst indicated that what really drove the acceptance or decline of Operating Systems were the applications available. When Software Development firms must choose which OS to support, they typically have to evaluate the different categories of marketplace acceptance:
For the UNIX world, there is a three-legged stool. If any leg breaks, the entire system falls apart.
Of these, the analyst consider IBM POWER running AIX to be the safest investment. For those who prefer HP Integrity, consider waiting until "Tukwilla" codename project which will introduce new Itanium chipset in 2Q2010. For Sun SPARC, the European Union (EU) delay could impact user confidence in this platform. The future of SPARC remains now in the hands of Fujitsu and Oracle.
What platform will the audience invest in most over the next 5 years?
A survey of the audience about current comfort level of Solaris:
The analyst mentioned Microsoft's upcoming Windows Server 2008 R2, which will run only on 64-bit hardware but support both 32-bit and 64-bit applications. It will provide scalability up to 256 processor cores. Microsoft wants Windows to get into the High Performance Computing (HPC) marketplace, but this is currently dominated by Linux and AIX. The analyst's advice to Microsoft: System Center should manage both Windows and Linux.
Has Linux lost its popularity? The analyst indicated that companies are still running mission critical applications on non-Linux platforms, primarily z/OS, Solaris and Windows. What does help Linux are old UNIX Legacy applications, the existence of OpenSolaris x86, Oracle's Enterprise Linux, VMware and Hyper-V support for Linux, Linux on System z mainframe, and other legacy operating systems that are growing obsolete. One issue cited with Linux is scalability. Performance on systems with more than 32 processor cores is unpredictable. More mature operating systems like z/OS and AIX have stronger support for high-core environments.
A survey of the audience of which Linux or UNIX OS were most strategic to their operations resulted in the following weighted scores:
The analyst wrapped up with an incredibly useful chart that summarizes the key reasons companies migrate from one OS platform to another:
Certainly, all three types of operating system have a place, but there are definite trends and shifts in this marketspace.

Day4 Tapping the Cloud for Storage Infrastructure
Visits (15588)
Continuing my coverage of last week's Data Center Conference 2009, held Dec 1-4 in Las Vegas, I find some of the best sessions are those "user experiences" by the CIO or IT directors that successfully completed a project and showed the benefits and pitfalls. Matt Merchant, CTO of General Electric (GE), gave an awesome presentation on tapping Cloud Storage to reduce their backup and archive costs. They were concerned over their lack of e-Discovery tools, the high fixed cost and large administrator personnel load of their Veritas NetBackup software environment, the possibility of corrupted tape media, new compliance and regulatory issues, and the risk of moving unencrypted cartridges to remote vaulting facilities like Iron Mountain. I found it interesting their backup/archive approach is that backups are re-classified as archive after they are 35 days old.
GE's Disk
General Electric had a long list of requirements:
The end result? They now have Cloud-based backups and archive for their GE Corp, NBC Universal and GE Asset Management divisions running at only 32 cents per GB/month, representing a 40-60 percent savings over their previous methods. This includes backups of their external Web sites, archives of their digital and production assets, RMAN backups including development/staging databases. They plan to add out-of-region compliance archive in 2010. They also plan to monetize their intellectual property by offering "CloudStorage Manager" as a software offering for others.

Day4 Rapid Access Computing Environment
Visits (14894)
Continuing my coverage of last week's Data Center Conference 2009, I attended another "User Experience" that was very well received. This time, it was Henry Sienkiewicz of the Department Information Systems Agency (DISA) presenting a real-world example of the business model behind a private cloud implementation. DISA is the US government agency that develops and runs software for the Army, Navy and Air Force.
Being part of the military presents its own unique set of challenges:
Using Cloud Computing simplifies provisioning, encourages the use of standards, and provides self-service. DISA has several solutions.
In their traditional approach, a software project would take six months to procure the hardware, another 6-12 months code and test, and then another 6 months in certification, for a total of 18-24 months. With the new Cloud Computing approach that DISA adopted, procurement was down to 24-72 hours with RACE, code test took only 2-6 months with Forge.Mil, and certification could be done in days on RACE, resulting in a new total of only 3-6 months. Some challenges they found:

Day4 Solid State Evolution
Visits (12803)
Continuing my coverage of last week's Data Center Conference 2009, my last breakout session of the week was an analyst presentation on Solid State Drive (SSD) technology. There are two different classes of SSD, consumer grade multi-level cell (MLC) running currently at $2 US dollars per GB, and Enterprise grade single-level cell (SLC) running at $4.50 US dollars per GB. Roughly 80 to 90 percent of the SSD is used in consumer use cases, such as digital cameras, cell phones, mobile devices, USB sticks, camcorders, media players, gaming devices and automotive.
While the two classes are different, the large R&D budgets spent on consumer grade MLC carry forward to help out enterprise grade SLC as well. SLC means there is a single level for each cell, so each cell can only hold a single bit of data, a one or a zero. MLC means the cell can hold multiple levels of charge, each representing a different value. Typically MLC can hold 3 to 4 bits of data per cell.
Back in 1997, SLC Enterprise Grade SSD cost roughly $7870 per GB. By 2013, Consumer Grade 4-bit MLC is expected to be only 24 cents per GB. Engineers are working on trade-offs between endurance cycles and retention periods. FLASH management software is the key differentiator, such as clever wear-leveling algorithms.
SSD is 10-15 times more expensive than spinning hard disk drives (HDD), and this price difference is expected to continue for a while. This is because of production volumes. In 4Q09, manufacturers will manufacturer 50 Exabytes of HDD, but only 2 Exabytes of SSD. The analyst thinks that SSD will only be roughly 2 percent of the total SAN storage deployed over the next few years.
How well did the audience know about SSD technology?
SSD does not change the design objectives of disk systems. We want disk systems that are more scalable and have higher performance. We want to fully utilize our investment. We want intelligent self-management similar to caching algorithms. We want an extensible architecture.
What will happen to fast Fibre Channel drives? Take out your Mayan calendar. Already 84mm 10K RPM drives are end of life (EOL) in 2009. The analyst expects 67mm and 70mm 10K drives will EOL in 2010, and that 15K will EOL by 2012. A lot of this is because HDD performance has not kept up with CPU advancements, resulting in an I/O bottleneck. SSD is roughly 10x slower than DRAM, and some architectures use SSD as a cache extension. The IBM N series PAM II card and Sun 7000 series being two examples.
Let's take a look at a disk system with 120 drives, comparing 73GB HDD's versus 32GB SSD's.
There are various use cases for SSD. These include internal DAS, stand-alone Tier 0 storage, replace or complement HDD in disk arrays, and as an extension of read cache or write cache. The analyst believes there will be mixed MLC/SLC devices that will allow for mixed workloads. His recommendations:
technorati tags: ssd, hdd, das, mlc, slc, sata, fc, disk systems

3 cups cooked white rice (I used Minute Rice)
3 Tbl. sesame oil
1 cup frozen peas and carrots (thawed)
1 small onion, chopped
2 tsp. minced garlic
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 cup soy sauce
On medium high heat, heat the oil in a large skillet or wok. Add the peas/carrots mix, onion and garlic. Stir fry until tender. Lower the heat to medium low and push the mixture off to one side, then pour your eggs on the other side of skillet and stir fry until scrambled. Now add the rice and soy sauce and blend all together well. Stir fry until thoroughly heated.
Optional: You could add diced ham and green onions to this depending on your preference.

Since Team Foundation Server (TFS) uses SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) as its repository for all kinds of info, people are interested to expose the data through Excel or SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). SSAS doesn't expose itself through the HTTP protocol by default, but this can be configured using this paper. I didn't created the complete document myself but used this paper from Edward Melomed as start. The paper on Microsoft TechNet uses SSAS 2005 and Windows Server 2003. Both products are still widely used, but 2008 is the magic word nowadays. By the way, I can't wait till his new book Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services Unleashed is released.
Summary: This paper is intended for anyone who is interested in providing access to SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services through HTTP protocol.The paper explains the steps required to set up HTTP access and discusses different performance and security settings. All the instructions in this paper are specific to the Microsoft Windows® Server™ 2008 operating system.
Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2008 Analysis Services uses the same architecture for providing HTTP access as did SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services.
The pump component is loaded into IIS (Internet Information Services) and serves as an ISAPI extension, pumping data from the client to an Analysis Services server and back.
This white paper walks you through the process of setting up HTTP access to Analysis Services when using Microsoft Windows Server™ 2008.
Figure 1 provides a high-level overview of the component architecture.
Getting binaries
To get binaries:
Copy the contents of the %Installation folder%OLAPbinisapi directory into the folder you would like to become the base for the virtual directory in IIS.
In this example, we are going to copy all the files from the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSAS10.MSSQLSERVEROLAPbinisapi folder into the C:inetpubwwwrootolap directory.
Notes: To take advantage of the full set of security settings, it is important to make sure that the folder to become the base for the virtual directory is located on the drive formatted for the NTFS file system.
Due to IIS limitations, the path to your directory should not contain spaces.
If you are planning to run the HTTP pump on a different server than the Analysis Services server, please make sure that you also install OLEDB for Analysis Redistributable package.
Creating an application pool
To create an application pool:
To open the Computer Management console, open Control Panel, then Administrative Tools, then Computer Management.
(Or, right-click the My Computer icon and select Manage on the shortcut menu.)
In the Computer Management console, expand the Roles node and then the Web Server (IIS) and Internet Information Services node.
If you can't find the Internet Information Services node, IIS is probably not installed on your machine. To install it, open Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. Select Add/Remove Windows Components. Then add IIS to Windows.
Right-click the Application Pools to open the shortcut menu and select Add Application Pool...
Name the application pool. In this example, we call it OLAP. (See Figure 2.)
Setting up an application
To use the application pool:
To open the Computer Management console, open Control Panel, then Administrative Tools, then Computer Management.
(Or, right-click the My Computer icon and select Manage on the shortcut menu.)
In the Computer Management console, expand the Roles node and then the Web Server (IIS) and Internet Information Services node.
If you can't find the Internet Information Services node, IIS is probably not installed on your machine. To install it, open Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. Select Add/Remove Windows Components. Then add IIS to Windows.
Right-click the OLAP directory in your Web site to open the shortcut menu and select Convert to Application. Choose the application pool as one you've just created. (See Figure 3.)
Setting up directory properties
To set properties for the directory:
Click your virtual directory node and select Handler Mappings from the menu. (See Figure 4.)
|Make sure the directory has Read and Script permissions. This can be checked by clicking the "Edit Feature Permissions..." in
the top right corner of the Handler Mappings screen as shown in Figure 5.
In the top right corner of the Handler Mappings screen click the option " Add Script Map...".
Enter *.dll in the Request path text box.
In the Executable option, enter the full path name to msmdpump.dll. In this example, it would be: C:wwwrootolapmsmdpump.dll
Name the Script Map. In this example, we call it OLAP.
Your screen should look something like the dialog box shown in Figure 6.
Click the OK button to accept the settings.
When you hit OK to add the script mapping you will be prompted if you want to enable the ISAPI extension. (See Figure 7.)
Click the Yes button to accept the settings.
|The configuration of this decision can be found under ISAPI and CGI Restrictions of the server. (See Figure 8.)
|Search for your extension and name it as shown in Figure 9.
Click the OK button to accept the settings.
Selecting security settings
To select security settings:
Click your virtual directory node and select Autentication from the menu. (See Figure 10.)
You are presented with three options. Choose one of them. (See Figure 11)
This section briefly describes these options, citing the advantages, disadvantages, and security concerns of each one. All other options are not discussed in the paper. You can use Help for IIS to read more about it.
Anonymous access
When this mode is selected, the pump (msmdpump.dll) is running with credentials; in our case, these are the credentials of IUSR_MACHINENAME user. Therefore, every connection to Analysis Services is opened as IUSR user. When this mode is selected, there is no distinction between which user is connecting to IIS and which to Analysis Services. There is no way to distinguish between users.
This mode is to be used when the security infrastructure does not take advantage of the security functionality of Analysis Services. This is most likely an extremely controlled environment, where users are given or denied access to the virtual directory.
Windows authentication
This is the most secure and the recommended mode.
It requires that IIS Server be able to access user domain credentials. This could be done using Microsoft Active Directory® or another mechanism. It is beyond the scope of this paper to discuss all the possible configurations.
|For configuring anonymous authentication right-click Anonymous Authentication and then click Edit. You will see a dialog box similar to the one in Figure 12 Here you can configure a specific account which will be used to logon SSAS.
Selecting the target Analysis Services server
As you can see in the architectural diagram in Figure 1, every pump component uses its own configuration file.
Open the msmdpump.ini file located in your folder and take a look at the contents of this file. It should look like the following:
1 <ConfigurationSettings>
2 <ServerName>localhost</ServerName>
3 <SessionTimeout>3600</SessionTimeout>
4 <ConnectionPoolSize>100</ConnectionPoolSize>
5 <MinThreadPoolSize>0</MinThreadPoolSize>
6 <MaxThreadPoolSize>0</MaxThreadPoolSize>
7 <MaxThreadsPerClient>4</MaxThreadsPerClient>
8 </ConfigurationSettings>
The only setting you are interested in at this point is <ServerName>.
If the Analysis Services instance that you need to provide access to is located on the local machine and installed as a default instance, there is no reason to change this setting. Otherwise, you need to specify the machine name and instance name ( mymachineinst1).
It is also possible to specify a pointer to the virtual directory on another IIS server that is set up for HTTP access to Analysis Services.
For example, you could have <ServerName>http://secondmachine/olap/msmdpump.dll</ServerName>
Getting it all together
At this point you should have configured your HTTP pump and should be ready to connect from your application.
If your application provides you with a way to specify the server name, all you need to do is to substitute your server name with the path to your virtual directory concatenated with "msmdpump.dll".
As in SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services, the MSOLAP OLEDB provider will understand that the server name includes an URL path and will automatically start using HTTP protocol.
For example, to connect to "MyMachine" from the MDX sample application, you should be able to connect to the Analysis Services server using "http://MyMachine/olap/msmdpump.dll" as a server name.

Full Title: Mathematical World, Exploring Mathematics through Photographic Images
by Richard Phillips, published by Key Curriculum Press, 2005
My school purchased this CD for $31.95 through keypress.com.
Why I ordered it: I want to use more photos and videos with my classroom projector, I really do. But I have a crappy digital camera, no camcorder, and I am usually not observant enough to take good pictures, anyway. And when I do see something promising, I never have my camera. So when I saw this CD that promised "185 full-color photographs [to] stimulate curiosity and challenge students to reflect on the mathematics at work in the world around them", I high-tailed it over to the department secretary and asked her to order it for me.
In a nutshell, the CD delivers with its sheer quantity of winning photographs that any math teacher would be able to put to good use.
When you put it in your CD drive it starts up its own little program which you use to browse, search, show a "large" version of each picture, and print pictures.
The Goods
- You can browse thumbnails of all the photos easily.
- Easy to print a hard copy of a single photo.
- All the pictures are high quality and are clear when projected on my screen. What you want the learner to be able to see is easy to see.
- Most of the photos have what I would consider an acceptable level of difficulty and interesting-ness for high school. I'm not sure it would be as useful for middle school.
- Pictures have cultural and international flair including architecture, signage, storefronts, and measuring devices. Example:
- For many concepts, there are several pictures using the same concept with varying difficulty. Example:
The Annoyings
I quickly scanned the pictures and tried to group them into categories. Some of these are overlapping, but here goes: tesselations, symmetry, rotational symmetry, proportion, solids & volume, angles, "guess what this sign in another country is trying to tell you", measuring devices & instruments, sundials, fibonacci in nature, 3dimensional packing, "find the pattern, write a rule, and extend", perspective & vanishing point, comparative measurements, estimation, slope/rate of change, circles.
- The commentary and suggested questions that come with the pictures are on the lame side. Because they are either just stupid ("How many right angles do you see?"), but mostly because they give away the store ("The bottom layer is a 16x16 square!")
- The search functionality is limited. If you don't happen to search for the first word in the title the publisher gave the photo, you are out of luck. Photo browsing doesn't seem to be organized by concept or any other method. This just means you will have to scan the thumbnails to find what you are looking for. Not that big a deal, to me.
- There is no easy way to copy the pictures digitally, for obvious rights-management reasons, I suppose, but it makes it hard to, say, superimpose a scale or grid. You will have to rely on some method of screen capture if you'd like to use the photos anywhere else on your computer.
- You have to have the CD to run the program. No installing it to your hard drive or shared drive.
Worth the money. Buy it.

The campaign will help promote the league's women's apparel. Ms. Clooney—I mean—Keibler wore a Ravens shirt and Christian Dior pants for her shoot, which wrapped Wednesday at Milk Studios in New York. In the campaign, Keibler joins a mix of NFL female personalities and supermodels, such as Karolina Kurkova and Maryland-native Hilary Rhoda.

17:20 Lyrics
Bring me back to the days when everything made sense to me.
Together, we could move the mountains and watch them fall into the sea.
Times have changed now that I'm older; where did I go wrong?
Life was beautiful when we got along.
But I'm not giving up on this; we've come too far
Just to throw all we have into the wind.
So many times I have given up on You. Will You take me back?
You can count on me.
I'll take this stand tonight; I'll never leave Your side.
You will have all of me.
You have my word; I will never look away.
So many times I have given up on You.
You have never turned away. I need You more than words can say!
One life one chance!
Don't take this for granted
We will move the mountains and watch them fall in the sea!
"He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you" Matthew 17:20

The Barcode Scanner Connection is Key
Since the barcode scanner will connect to the PC, you must make sure you select the right connection type. Most corded barcode scanners on the market today are "multi-interface". That means that the scanner itself can communicate a variety of ways to the computer it's attached to. All you have to do is make sure you have the right cable and you've programmed the scanner so it knows how to talk. There are four connection types for corded barcode scanners:
USB - The barcode scanner connects to the PC using a USB port. When you plug in the scanner, the operating system will recognize it as a keyboard or a HID (human input device). USB connections are the most common in the industry today.
Keyboard Wedge - The barcode scanner connects to the computer on a "Y" cable with the keyboard that comes with the scanner. The bottom of the Y connects to the AT or PS2 keyboard port. Before USB, this was the most popular connection for corded barcode scanners.
RS232 Serial - With this connection, the barcode scanner is communicating with the PC over a serial port. The cable to the scanner connects with a 9 or 25 pin female connector to the COM1 or COM2 ports in the back of the computer. This interface is commonly used to allow barcode scanners to connect directly to industrial controllers or other automated equipment. If you want your desktop PC to communicate using a serial interface, you'll have to make sure that your application software (where you want the scanner data to go) is set up for serial connections. You have to know the Baud Rate, Stop Bits, and Parity for the communication expected by the software, and set those same values in the firmware of the barcode scanner. Normally, these connection types require an external power supply as the serial port can't supply enough to power the barcode scanner.
Interface Controller - Sometime, specialized computing equipment will be set up with proprietary interface connections for the barcode scanner. Examples of these are ISBT-128, Ruby Verifone, Nixdorf Beetle, and IBM Port 9B. By definition, these scanners come with the specialized cable required, and are programmed appropriately for communications with what they're plugged into.
Included in this type of connection is the barcode scanner that is connected to a "decoder". That means that the scanner is sending the raw barcode data to another piece of equipment called a decoder that converts the signal to ASCII text and sends it to the computer. You can find out more in the Corded Barcode Scanner Types section

China sales to Latin America slow Good news for U.S.
Hong Kong (CNN) - Global economic uncertainty is bringing some good news for U.S. exporters, as traders in Latin America have seen a reduction in buys from China in favor of closer-to-home suppliers.
"There are signals of an economic slowdown," Mario Nigrinis, Principal Economist at BBVA Bank Hong Kong told CNN, "we expect a slight deceleration."
Mexico, the largest Latin American importers of Chinese goods with US$46 billion in 2010, has seen purchase growth rates diminish, from 20.5% year-on-year in the first half of 2011, to 18.5% in the third quarter, to 13% in August, according to data compiled by BBVA.
Brazil followed a similar path, with growth rates contracting from 37% in the first half of this year to 26% in the third quarter.
A Guangzhou-based businesswoman saw a decline in her trade from China this year. "We see a 20% reduction," Angélica Villegas Botero, Managing Director of Investment Logistics Company, told CNN.
Villegas compared her usual 150 containers a year, with an estimated 130 for 2011.
Her core business is exporting shoes and apparel from Asia, mainly China, to her native Colombia. She also has operations throughout Latin America, from Mexico to Argentina.
A Latin American shipper is seeing a similar drop. "We usually expect increased Christmas shipments around mid-July," Sebastián Santa Cruz, Director of the Chilean shipping company CCNI-Agunsa in Hong Kong, said.
While containers cross the Pacific from Chile laden with copper to meet burgeoning Chinese demand, they will more likely return empty when once had textiles, footwear and consumer electronics.
But this year's peak shipping season from Asia to Latin America was only an unfulfilled promise. "We've seen our business decline," Santa Cruz said.
Over half of CCNI-Agunsa's business is shipping copper from the world's largest exporter, Chile, to China. While the reference price for this metal slid around 20% since the beginning of the year, the shipper still sees growth.
Why? It appears Latin America is re-aiming north.
"I believe that the ups and downs in the economy, like the European debt crisis and weak demand in the U.S. have hit investors, importers," Santa Cruz told CNN. "They are taking less risk, not increasing inventories [in Latin America] and just-in-time supplies become more relevant."
Villegas agreed. Many of her clients preferred to pay for small air shipments delivered in a few days only, instead of going through the months-long process of procuring, shipping and processing full container loads from China.
When purchases have to be fast and low-risk, closer suppliers become more relevant.
Villegas said the U.S., Brazil and Mexico are stepping in to supply Latin American retailers during this slowdown in purchases from China.
So this year's Christmas gifts in the region may, after a long break, be made in the U.S. again.

Do you think you were mis-sold or given bad pension advice by McParland & Partners Limited? We may be able to help you claim compensation for any potential mis-selling.
Welcome to our website which has been dedicated to help people understand if they have been mis-sold their pension and what can be done about it if you feel you have been mis-sold. Firstly let us explain why we have the experience and expertise to help you so you can make an informed choice if this is the right service for you.
Mis-sold Pension by McParland & Partners Limited
Facility Review's purpose is to guide clients through the mis-sold journey without hassle on a no win no fee basis. We would like to remind readers that you are not required to use the services of a firm which carries out regulated claims management activity; it is possible for the customer to present the claim themselves for free, either to the person against whom they wish to complain or to the relevant statutory ombudsman or the statutory compensation scheme.
There any many reasons people may have been mis-sold their pension by McParland & Partners Limited and we will cover the main reasons below and highlight some of the people and occupations that are most likely to have been mis-sold.
The most common reason people have mis-sold pensions is if they were a member of a Final Salary Pension Scheme and have transferred this to a money purchase scheme whether they have left their employer or not. This must have been done on the advice of a Financial Advisor whether tied or independent and must have taken place after April 1988.
- People with Final Salary Pensions included
- Civil Service Pensions
- Railway Pensions
- Teachers Pension
- Police Pensions
- NHS Pension
If you were a member of any of these pensions above or any other Final Salary Pension Scheme and have transferred it then the possibilities that you have been mis-sold a pension are very high and you should contact us today to find out more.
For people who have been or are in a Final Salary Pension and have FSAVCs then they may have also been mis-sold if AVCs were available to them at the time as for most it would have been more beneficial to have been a member of the AVC scheme and not FSAVC scheme.
This is just an indication of people who may have a mis-sold pension if they were a member of any of the pension schemes named above but it is not an exhaustive list and if you are unsure then get in touch with us to discuss your case in more detail.
Mis-Sold Pension Other Reasons
Pension mis-selling is not limited to people with Final Salary schemes and can also affect people who have money purchase schemes which include Personal Pensions, Stakeholder Pensions and FSAVC pensions. It can also affect people who have frozen pensions and have been encouraged to transfer them without proper analysis being carried out.
If you have had a any of the above types of pension since 1998 and are unsure if you were mis-sold the pension or pension transfer by McParland & Partners Limited then contact us today to find out more.

Virtual reality, therefore, no, they can experience touch and all that, but no pain, that wouldn't make the game popular...
I would say yes, and for how much it used, I'd say it would be dependent on how intense the spell was, if it took like, a second to charge and attack with, that's how long it would take to recharge the mana. Does that make sense?
I was going to expand upon that once someone asked about it. Every floor has several "rooms" that have all around the same monsters. Rooms in the corner of the floor usually have stronger monsters, and there is always a room that leads to the floors dungeon, which the players have to go through to get to the next floor.
Well.... if you've watched all of the episodes, you'll understand what've happened. The same here, we were all confused of what's going on in that anime, I've replied it over and over again to know what's going on. But you'll get used to it later.
And for Kagari... I used to hate her too, but you'll love her Really.
Yeah have fun with the second episode.
I've watched those 8 episodes in one day, cus I'm curious as hell.
all by accident
oh, he got a ten foot gummy bear thrown on him, then was cooked alive in his armor by Z, who also melted the floor and literally drowned in molten candy
Aww, man... it hurts that my country only has two seasons.
Yup, that's the kind of anime girl characters you've been looking for!
Catch ya later!
Wow, I'm surprised that you're a free guy aren't you? Not much stuffs to do, unlike me. *cries*
Well, yes it is, you might like it. This anime tells you that girls have strong feelings and can endure much pain more than boys/?
Anyways.... have a nice excitement of watching that!

Can a phenomenon be repeated?
"Sharknado" director Anthony C. Ferrante is about to find out.
No, we're not talking about tornadoes filled with man-eating fish. Ferrante has finished "Sharknado 2: The Second One," and he's hoping to surprise critics again with his ridiculous sequel, which debuts on the Syfy network at 9 p.m. Wednesday. He believes "Sharknado 2" can become the social media monster the original TV movie was last summer.
After trending on Twitter following its average-rated initial airing last July, subsequent cablecasts of "Sharknado" went through the viewership roof — or at least did for this kind of nonsense. Traditional media jumped into the maelstrom, Burbank-based franchise producer The Asylum saw its revenues spike and Syfy ordered a sequel.
Ferrante, who with a friend had pitched the title of "Sharknado" to Syfy years before the network decided to actually make such a thing, was equal parts dumbfounded, pleased and utterly sanguine when the not-always-flattering tweets exploded.
"When the final sound and all the visual effects were put in, me and some friends and the editor watched it in the editing bay," Ferrante recalls of that first landmark film. "We had a blast, made fun of it and laughed at it. After it was over, I was convinced that it was the weirdest movie that was ever made for the Syfy channel and that no one would get it. I figured maybe in five years it would be a cult movie.
"Then the trailer came out and started blowing up. We were tweeting the night it premiered, and I literally expected to get 'You suck, Ferrante' and all that kind of stuff. But every time I'd refresh on Twitter, it would just zoom up. A friend would say 'Mia Farrow just tweeted about 'Sharknado!' Since I have a journalism background, I knew that this was not normal."
So last winter, Ferrante and the survivors of the Los Angeles-set original's cast, Ian Ziering and Tara Reid, brought a second spate of meteorological mayhem to New York. But they weren't alone this time. While many people he approached to work on the first "Sharknado" laughed at Ferrante, celebrities contacted him about appearing in "The Second One."
The sequel's cast includes Vivica A. Fox, Billy Ray Cyrus, Mark McGrath, Judd Hirsch, Perez Hilton, Kelly Osbourne, Matt Lauer, Al Roker and a number of surprise cameos that will simply blow the minds of movie and pop culture fans.
Produced with little more than the first "Sharknado's" $250,000 budget, the sequel, shot in 18 days, rained hungry predators on such iconic locations as Liberty Island, Wall Street, Times Square and Citi Field. Sharks even get into the subway, as did Ferrante's resourceful production crew. More than 500 visual-effects shots were generated in about two months, a fraction of the time it takes $200 million, CG-intensive blockbuster movies to get the job done.
Of course, none of this would have happened if Ferrante and scriptwriter Thunder Levin hadn't been in on the joke from the beginning. Ferrante had made low-budget fright films such as "Boo" and "Hansel & Gretel" before, but saw "Sharknado" as a chance to prove he could mix his dry sense of humor with gore, as well as develop VFX (visual effects) and action chops.
He figures that's a big reason why — whether they laughed with it or at it — people enjoyed watching "Sharknado."
" 'Sharknado' was a ridiculous concept, but we put this trailer up that looked like a studio movie and, I think, dared people to watch us," Ferrante says. "So there was that, and a lot of the summer movies last year, they were pretty depressing. 'Man of Steel' was a good movie, but there was no joy in the film. 'Sharknado' was free, looked like a big movie and it looked fun."
Even children were able to enjoy the movie, including his own, Ferrante recalls.
"Then kids became obsessed with this movie. My daughter is 11 and this is my first movie I've ever shown her, and she had a blast with it," he says. "We didn't set out to make a movie for kids — there's people getting arms ripped off — but then you think about it, and it's like the movie has that sort of wide-eyed, 12-year-old mentality. It's kind of an ADD movie. Hey, there's sharks in a tornado, and then this guy goes at 'em with a chain saw! It just has that kind of silliness.
"I think what it was, was that people couldn't reconcile the fact that they enjoyed a movie about sharks in a tornado," Ferrante concludes. "They kept going, 'This can't happen.' Well, robots can't destroy Los Angeles. Zombies don't go eating people 'cause they don't exist. Just accept that it's a sharknado. I always say, embrace the 'nado.' "
Ferrante started making amateur movies — and became the film critic for the local newspaper — as a teenager in his hometown of Antioch. After studying filmmaking at San Francisco State University, he moved to Los Angeles. Ferrante, who now lives in Valencia, wrote about movies for the horror fan magazine Fangoria and numerous other outlets while working his way up from production assistant to makeup effects supervisor to second-unit director on low-budget thrillers.
He's written and produced films and, since "Sharknado," has become a hotter Hollywood commodity — or would be, if he hadn't had to jump right into "The Second One."
Syfy already has announced a "Third One," but Ferrante says no one has been hired for it yet. He'd be up for directing it, but points out that whoever gets that job has to not only live up to, but surpass, the high standards that he's established.
"Whatever the ultimate consensus is on another movie, you've got to make sure that there's a story there that you can do more things with," Ferrante explains. "You just can't keep repeating things, and there is clearly more stuff that you can do but it has to be unexpected. Let's put the sharks into someplace that no one expects you're going to go. It's more than just a weather disaster thing. It's about the journey, and how do you make it interesting. And as long as you do that, these movies will survive."
Ferrante admits he and his crew had to work overtime to make "The Second One" interesting, but to do another will present its own new challenges.
"Each time, you have to up the ante. So the first one was way ambitious for its budget. The second movie is twice as ambitious, with the same schedule. The third one will have to be three times as ambitious," he says. "But the sky's the limit."

No Alpha Wolves, Part of the Pack
Fund: Draper Fisher Jurvetson
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-12-22
We met with Tim and a number of other folks in the firm to look for an early stage investment.
In all of our experience, the best firms (notably First Round, Sequoia, and Benchmark) didn't have huge hierarchies and a phalanx of associates, juniors, principals, etc. It seems the larger the organization the more pack-like they become. DFJ is a perfect example of that. Getting them to pull the trigger will take a long time, so have them on your list of follow-on investors (as most people do). More importantly, when we pitched last year, they were at the end of the fund and it's likely that they have become even more stingy.
Tim Draper was cool to speak to, but he wasn't a genius. I don't think he prides himself on brilliance but on his coaching ability and loyalty, and you could see some genuine qualities to that.
Emily Melton was a great person to speak to. Honest and forthright with her comments. At the very least, she was clear on where we were.PRIVATE: Members Only (34 Characters)

After first hit in Majors, Barnhart goes for seconds
NEW YORK -- Reds rookie catcher Tucker Barnhart notched his first big league hit with a third-inning single over second baseman Daniel Murphy that went into right field during Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Mets. Barnhart didn't wait long for hit No. 2, when he blooped a single over Murphy into short right field in the fifth.
While the ball from hit No. 2 wasn't saved, Barnhart does have possession of the first one.
"It's nice to get it out of the way and take a deep breath and just worry about getting more and getting more wins," Barnhart said.
Barnhart, who made the team after Devin Mesoraco went on the disabled list at the end of Spring Training, has made two starts and appeared in a third game as a defensive replacement. He was a battery mate with Homer Bailey on Wednesday and caught ace Johnny Cueto on Saturday. While Bailey struggled some, Bailey allowed two runs and five hits over seven innings.
"I'm getting to the point where I'm feeling pretty good," Barnhart said. "I thought that Johnny and I worked well together [Saturday]. Homer and I did the other day also. It's good to be out there getting my feet wet and getting to the point where it's all about playing baseball. It's not worrying about the nerves or anything like that."
There's a good chance Barnhart will be sent down to Triple-A Louisville this week, as Mesoraco is expected to rejoin the club in St. Louis on Monday. But manager Bryan Price has very positive reviews about the rookie's early performances.
"He's been terrific," Price said. "You don't set up high expectations for anyone that comes up, initially, as an offensive player -- especially as a catcher. You hope they defend well and work with the pitching staff. He's done a remarkable job with pitch selection, working with the starting pitchers and the bullpen.
"I think he's going to be an outstanding player, I really do. The two hits were a bonus. We didn't bring up here to hit .350. We brought him up here to catch and hold down the fort until Devin is ready and he has certainly done that. I have no apprehension to catch him and put him in the lineup."

#133 Thomas J Pritzker
Grandchild of A.N. Pritzker (d. 1986), who with sons Jay (d. 1999) and Robert created industrial conglomerate Marmon (2005 sales: $7 billion) and hotel giant Hyatt (215 hotels worldwide). In 2001 plans collapsed to pass control of empire to Jay's son Thomas, cousin Nicholas and niece Penny; family agreed to split pot 11 ways. Deal enraged Robert's youngest kids, Liesel and Matthew; duo filed suit, settled for $500 million each. Dynastic carve-up to include Hyatt public offering or sale by 2011. Tentative so far. Just one windfall: tobacco outfit Conwood sold for $3.5 billion to R.J. Reynolds April. Thomas: chief executive of Pritzker Organization holding company. Family oversight role waning.
