Looking for authorized 1Z0-514 practice questions

I'm studying for the 1Z0-514 - Oracle Database 11g Essentials exam. I have gone through all of the tutorials in the 11g 2-day DBA manual and Oracle By Example supplement. I think I'm ready but would like some practice questions to test myself. According to http://www.certguard.com/, every hit on Google for "1Z0-514" is a braindump. That site also lists a number of reputable sites for practice exams, although none of them includes 1Z0-514.
Q1: Does anyone know of a verified source of legitimate 1Z0-514 practice questions?
Q2: Does anyone know how relevant OCA practice exams (1Z0-052) would be for 1Z0-514? They seem to have a lot of common ground.

Hi, I had the same problem you are having now a few months ago, after studying the 11g 2-day DBA manual I couldn't find any authorized practice questions.
I ended up going through OCA books and practice questions. I advise you use them, the 1z0-052 and 1z0-514 exams cover very similar topics.

Looking for iBooks Author vendor

Looking for iBooks Author vendor to create multiple books based on an existing template. The books are operative techniques for the orthopaedic surgery industry. Need an idea of cost to outsourse. Here are the specs:
7 chapters
the first page of each chapter is an overview of the chapter that includes hyperlinks to each step in the operative technique
total of 44 pages
each page has at least one video widget (some pages have two), a photo gallery widget plus a static image and text
glossary index with 100 entries that include text and photos (would love to find someone who can program including collada 3-D images into the glossary. but that is a nice to have, not a need to have)
all images require resizing for the ibook (they are print images)
all videos require compression for the ibook
half of the pages have 3-d collada files
heavy typesetting is required
three pages include large interactive images with 20 labels
Looking for estimates to present to the company on the cost to outsourse as well as find possible vendors to talk to and provide more detail.
thanks.

i apologize. here is my contact email if anyone is interested in talk more about this.

Looking for books published using iBooks Author

I'm looking for books published with iBooks Author and there's no way to search for this in the store as far as I know. If you've published a book using IBA, please post the link in the comments. Thank you

I´m thinking about what size of the text I should use.
Right now I have size 16 Palatino and small blocks of text so it should be easy to read
My experience is this: 16 point text looks (and is experienced as) standard print text in books.
Here's a trick for iPad vermisilitude I use on my iMac with 1920 x1080 resolution: In iBooks Author I set the screen to "Fit Page" and then resize the screen manually to 92%. This very closely matches an iPad screen. In my case, it helps with selecting fonts.
All the best.

Looking for book title and author

At last year's Chicago developer's convention, there was on
sale a small, very good book on website design. The author had a
5-step process going from concept to detail, looking at both the
design intent and technical structure at each step. Does anyone
know the title and author?
Thanks!

Do you know if it was published by any of the major
publishers?
Maybe you are looking for a book, similar to this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Web-Concept-Design-Crystal-Waters/dp/1562056484

Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

Looking for a more suitable animation tool

I've been creating animations from sprites in After Effects, with mixed results. The input is a number of pixel art sprites (exported from elsewhere), and the output is a video, characters running around and interacting. I have AFX doing quite a lot, but it's very awkward and I'm pretty sure it's the wrong tool for the job. Can anyone either suggest better approaches, or more suitable software? I'll describe what I'm doing now:
- Many sprites are bodies or heads to combine, eg. a smiling or angry faces and walking or standing bodies. I set the head position for each body sprite, so any head fits in the right place on any body (trivial rigging), then apply it with a script, so I can change the body and the head moves to the right place automatically.
- Some sprites have multiple layers. For example, while heads are normally on top of bodies, a body may have an arm raised, which needs to be above the head instead of below it. I can create the extra layer for the body separately, and it works for any head.
- I can set the draw order per-layer. Usually, one character and all of its parts is drawn on top of another--body1, head1, body2, head2. But, if two characters collide, handshake, or interact in other complex ways, I may want to draw both bodies, and then both heads, even though the heads and bodies are still anchored normally. Some sprites may have multiple layers, eg. body, head, hands, legs. (Z position hack...)
- Individual layers can be adjusted separately, eg. to adjust the default head position downwards to give a nod.
- Some sprites are hue shifted (hair color, clothing color) or have more complex adjustments applied, so I can reuse more sprites.
(I'm only describing what I'm doing and not how. I wrote more detail about what I'm actually doing in AFX and the specific issues I'm having, but it was too long and people can probably already guess the practical issues of using AFX like this. I'll post more info if anybody asks.)
The result is functional, but a real hassle to actually work with. AFX is a compositing and effects tool and it's not really designed for animations, and only its scripting support has let me abuse it this much. I don't know of a better tool, though--searches for animation tools mostly come up with things like Spine (authoring individual models for importing into games), and nothing suitable for creating complex video animations from sprite sets.
There are probably many tools to do small pieces of this (sprite animation sequences, effects, scene animation, camera), but I'd really like to not split into a multi-tool workflow, since I want to experiment freely with a scene, not lay out an entire scene and then create it start to finish. Does anyone have any suggestions (or better places to ask)?

Looking for a Rewind like app for Tiger

Back when I had my Performa 6360 running OS 8.1, I bought a utility called Rewind from Power on Software. The app could restore my Mac to an earlier date, or restore any file that had been deleted from the trash,etc.. It was more poweful than the similiar features found in TTP, and Norton.
Does such a utility exist for OSX? Rewind failed (and why Power on is trying to hide any indication that it ever existed) for a number of reasons. For one the utility slowed down my Mac by 50%, and for two the utility created huge archives, and often corrupted its restore rescue soft boot image.
I know such a utility may not be as essential in OSX as in the earlier OS. That os would often crash for one. My ibook has crashed no more than 20 times in the 10 months I have owned it. My Performa crashed that many times in 1 month alone.
John

You wrote: "But I am afraid that Retrospect is not the same as Rewind, or Norton Go Back for Windows."True. However, since you have Retrospect, if you're using Backup Sets for backup, you can Restore a disk for which there is a Backup Set to any point in time for which a backup session exists.
Perhaps the reason there is no Rewind or Go Back for Mac OS X is because it is far more stable than Windows, as you note.
Next time you're looking for solutions, I recommend searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. The user-submitted reviews accompanying the listings are helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff. Both commercial and shareware/freeware solutions list on those sites and you'll generally find an answer faster than posting here.
You wrote: "Therefore I have come to the conclusion that this is yet another limitation of owning a Mac...No question my XP box has many advantages, but its also quite obvious that OSX is far more stable and secure than XP."Only you can decide for yourself which platform fits your needs best.
Good luck!

Looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

looking for a external blu ray dvd burner for my mac

There are plenty of options but I have found that the LaCie d2 http://blu-ray.burnworld.com/burners/lacie-d2.htm works more consistantly. I use Toast 11 mainly for Blu-Ray. The drive does come with a basic verison of the software which is good for most but you need to upgrade to do some serious authoring.

Looking for a specific webhelp skin

I noticed a webhelp skin that I would like to use for my robohelp project's output, but I can't seem to find it in the options provided in the following adobe page:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?s=5&from=1&o=desc&cat=316&scat=317&l=-1&ev ent=productHome&exc=11
I captured a pic of the skin I am looking for and it is attached to this post. I am hoping someone can take a quick look and identify the name of the skin template for me.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanx,
Bill

Hi all
For anyone interessted I've put together a CHM file so one may easily see each Skin appearance before having to download it to see what it looks like.
They used to have the images up there for you to see. Not sure why they aren't there any longer.
I'll be happy to provide the CHM if you wish. Just shoot me a private message to rstone75 (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com. I'll send you a download link.

Please help! Looking for script to insert current date on page.

I currently use a Dreamweaver Extension that lets you insert
current date and time on your web page.
The problem is, I don't know Javascript and cannot edit the
Javascript codes to "remove the time"
I only need the current date that will change every day.
Do you know where I can get this script, I goggled and got
several but I'm looking for something authentic.
Also is it possible to have your page validate when you use
Javascript embedded in your HTML?
Thanks everyone,
Patrick

JavaScript generates the date by using the clock on the
computer of each
visitor to your site. If a visitor's clock has the wrong
date, your site
will also display the wrong date.

I don't know what you mean by "authentic". Date generation in
JavaScript
is one of the most basic features of the language, so if it
works, it's
"authentic".
> Also is it possible to have your page validate when you

> embedded in your HTML?
Yes, but you shouldn't embed JavaScript in XHTML.

So mr. Powers are there people that use Javascript Date in
their page?
Would you recommend it?
I could use PHP but I don't know PHP,
How do I come up with the string in this format, say,
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008 that will change to a new day
according to the server time and date.
Thanks so much for your help and I have two of your books! I
will be taking PHP classes in December.
