Your company Galdos has been associated with data, data integration and more specifically with spatial data infrastructure. Now, it aims to be a global leader in location-enabled enterprise information management solutions. So is there a shift?
It is the same thing but more focused on the private sector than government. We found that government is not always the easiest customer. I suppose the shift that we are making is from saying, we are a geographic information company particularly focused on open standards to saying we are an enterprise information solutions company where geography counts. I think it is enterprise information solutions where location is important but we don't identify ourselves as just a geography company. If you have a large organization and have information about physical assets that might be distributed across several departments and you wish to perform analytical operations, then you need to integrate that information readily. In this context, knowing where that information is as important to discriminate one asset from another or for some analysis.
In addition to location data, how do you process contextual data which is not structured?
We can help structure that information. For example, through our registry product classification of things, creating relationships of things, creating logical collections is intrinsic part of the technology, and each of the things can have geometric properties. However, in other cases we also deal with things that have no specific geographic context. So anything related to our solutions can have geographic or geometric properties, whether it is a relationship between objects, objects themselves or the taxonomy. Viewed from the GIS perspective you might say all this information is contextual but viewing from the problem perspective this is the information and geography is just one of the types.
Our focus is enterprise information integration where location is important and we provide strong support for that. However, the information assets may be more important to clients than the geographic aspects of them. Even in SDI much of the information has a spatial aspect to it, but it isn't just about geography. SDI is about automated synchronization of data on a wide area network and the idea of subscribing to data changes from somebody else's database doesn't depend upon spatial.
How well the INdicio suite of products integrates to the business process of an organization be it that the ERP or CRM systems?
INdicio has an open interface but I would say it is a work in progress in terms of integrating with any specific CRM.
Does INdicio enable query visualization and analysis of data?
Yes, it does. You can make query requests based on geography and classification. Basically one of the interesting things about it is that it exposes an information model wherein you can see classifications, objects that have properties and taxonomies. This model is unlike say working in a relational database where you would do a graphical model and then compile it into tables and you have to know those tables in order to query the system. In the case of INdicio, if you create a taxonomy using a graphical tool, then you can query just directly in terms of taxonomy. The visualization is on the client side. If your data has geographic properties, then we have a client that draws maps or draws objects on top of maps, typically based on queries. Queries can also be stored, which is also a feature of the data model.
In one of your recent blogs you said Galdos is embracing the third platform. What is the kind of analogy you are trying to bring in?
The third platform resembles cloud-based services supporting mobile devices. What we have done to make that possible is to provide client libraries for Web service INdicio on standard platforms like iOS and Android. As INdicio is a Web service, it is naturally deployable in a cloud and we have been doing lots of cloud testing. In Canada, we have government-financed cloud called DARE where small companies can get time to get tested. We have done quite a bit of testing INdicio in this cloud. I would say in four to five years wearables will capture the market replacing phones and a rapidly deployable backend service will be needed for such devices to be able to accomplish various tasks. We hope that INdicio can also support those kind of things. And in the context of enterprise applications, we will soon see emergence of wearable devices linked to backend applications. Actually, there is a company in Vancouver that is trying to promote that in the mining sector. So any area where you need information with your hands free, there is going to be a lot of demand for wearable applications.
How do you see this integrating and evolving in the larger concept of Internet of Things?
I'm not sure they are different. Right now we give different names to these things. If you go back to the beginnings of the Internet, it was the Internet of Things. One of the first things to go on the Internet was a Coke machine. Somebody had the idea of ordering a Coke. It was guessed how it would get inside the machine and you can type in your office and type in Coke and Coke was ready. Similarly, in the early days of Internet, there were a whole bunch of devices on the Internet like there was a train set in Germany, that you could control by a switch and watch the train go round. There was a robot garden somewhere in California, where a robot would plant seeds and you could water the garden and come back and watch the seeds grow into plants. And that was a whole community of people that grew up around that. So the Internet of Things is not new. I was in China, 5-6 years ago. Then Wen Jiabao, the Premier of China at that time gave a speech on the Internet of Things and I wrote a blog on it. But to see a Premier of a country talking about Internet of Things was quite surprising to me. I couldn't imagine the Premier here even now talking about it. He had announced that Internet of Things was going to be the focus of Chinese efforts and they had set up a research centre for Internet of Things. So I think wearables in the sense they are connected, are actually part of Internet of Things. So, I see wearables as a subset of Internet of Things.
You have been a very strong proponent of spatial data infrastructures. What, according to you, is the current state of majority of SDIs and their progress across the globe?
I would say their progress is slow. The reasons are mostly political and organizational. Part of the slowness was because they started in the wrong place. They started essentially with the national mapping agencies. While the national mapping agencies were engaged in doing it, the data that they held wasn't that important. That is how it began in Canada. The value of Federal Government's data is not that high as compared to data about the buildings around here and the idea of sharing data in an automatic way in a city as it changes— something that is still relatively non-existent in most parts of the world.
I think getting to a point where we have pan-enterprise sharing of that kind of information seems to me more important than government's sharing data. We don't do a good job globally sharing data also longitudinally and in time. So we build a building and the drawings of the building. But those drawings are examined by people who said that is what we built. But that information does not get fed automatically into emergency response systems like fire, police etc so that these departments could use it. You see cities actually remeasuring many things several years after the fact, simply not because they changed but simply because they don't have that information. So I think infrastructure is to share that kind of information as automatically as possible not only across organizations in time but over time too. The city model idea is not just to produce pretty pictures but to produce usable information on which you make decisions. You get the permission to build a building because you submitted drawings. If you look at the specifications in drawings, they are about human inspection within the drawing. There are not so that a machine could read those drawings and automatically compile it into city models, which could automatically be used by fire departments etc. I think we are still not there in terms of any SDIs that I am aware of. The Delhi SDI goes in that direction but I think unfortunately we are still some distance away.
Even in Delhi SDI, the data has been successfully brought together and integrated but the departments that are involved in bringing in this data, they do not actually know how to utilize that data. So what kind of applications can they develop with data integrating rest of data and create a necessary application?
Obviously the data should begin from the applications and not the other way around. And I think that is also part of our re-orientation that we want to work from the applications people want. Hence, if there is a spatial component, we will support that and if they are not interested in that, that's fine too. I think that will be true for an SDI too. I used to do a talk about SDI and then strike out the S and kept the D, and use to say that what we are talking about is the information about the physical world. And some of that might be spatial information but some may not. I think it is just matter of time for people to understand that. Now I think everybody is attuned to the idea that the real value of information and the real value in sharing information is either within the enterprise or within cities.
How is the progress with respect to the Canadian CGDI?
I think Canadian CGDI continues to be a national programme and it has been relatively successful in getting the adoption of standards to support that SDI at the provincial level but much less so at the city level. There is definitely less money from the government to do these things. I think when the standards like the GML were relatively new, there was a lot of experimentation by the government. And part of the problem was that people knew that they can share data but were not aware of the applications to use for sharing that data.
During the last five-year plan in Canada, the government gave it a kind of carrot-stick approach. The federal government gave money to a province and if the province would fund a project that was related to certain open standards endorsed by the government. And that was very successful. The stick approach was that this is a national standard and do not develop any other standards—something that was relatively successful. During those five years, I think they gave money to a city once and most of the money exchanged between the provinces and the government. Further, the federal government is supposed to give money to a city is only through a province and not directly. So that is a kind of a problem with CGDI.
In many of the SDIs, we see the challenges are not at the technology level but more at the policy and coordination level. So how was the CGDI placed in that context?
One aspect I already mentioned is the relationship between the province and the government.
Further, we also have in Canada the BNA Act, the British North America Act which is not really a constitution. The British North America Act, when Canada was created, specified what are the responsibilities of the federal government, responsibilities of the provinces. Not all of those divisions of powers are sensible in 20th century but they divide things up and after the problems you face you need to pull things together. That is a good rationale for SDIs in government in general, that the problems that people are dealing with, like a hurricane, doesn't care that we divide information into twenty different pieces like emergency management, map collection etc. So the need to integrate information to respond to problems is pretty essential, whether it's a short-term disaster like a hurricane or a long- term disaster like climate change, the problems are there. In the context of Canada, we divided things up between federal and provincial governments and from a problem perspective that doesn't necessarily makes sense.
For example, the management of fish, if the fish are in the sea then they are managed by the federal government, if the fish are in lakes they are managed by provincial government but we have plagic fish like Salmon which start in lakes and then go into the sea and then come back. If your habitat is destroyed by the provincial regulations, then the fish dies. And here, you hear expressions like Fed fish which is Federal Government fish and there are many things like that. Similarly, roads if they are inside a municipality, then they are the responsibility of municipality. If they are inside a province, then they are the responsibility of the province and if they are national highways they are the responsibility of the federal government and all that has to make sense together. So there have been a couple of projects to produce a uniform road model across the whole country but that still doesn't exist. But we are close. Environmental issues in general are the responsibility of a province to do anything but regulation is the responsibility of federal government. You can clearly imagine there are conflicts of money, policy and so on between them. The whole thing should be both bottom-up and top-down but that is not always an easy thing to do.
What is the most practicable approach to having SDIs in general and in Canada?
Our perspective on that is we need to support automated distribution of data based on publication subscription. So I can advertise as I got certain data. Whoever you are, you can find out that I advertised it. You can subscribe to it and can add restrictions to make your subscriptions and the data is automatically sent to you whenever it matches your subscriptions. Now there might be charging issues on that. That is our notion of SDI that you can look for these advertisements and find out what kind of data is available and construct the subscription and then data is automatically sent to you. It's not a question of whether your query is part of the subscription but either all the data is piped into some warehouse or you can search across different databases and have the data when you ask for it. I don't think this is workable mostly because you don't want to be doing that all the time. There is a big discussion about open data and the city of Vancouver is one of the proponents along with the province of open data. But open data without some kind of automated subscription mechanism is not that useful because every time data changes in a city, you can't be querying every 5 seconds to see if that's the case. You want that information to be kept updated in your database. I guess that's always going to be a battle.

Used to mass produce Hui Games (http://lumberjocks.com/projects/352249). Allows easily cutting of the wedges. Two runners (photo 2) were glued to a thin base parallel to each other. Base (photo 2) was sized to allow clamping to the scroll saw. The V cut in the slider (photo 4) holds the hui stick on the side for cutting. The x rabbets (photo 5) on bottom of slider allow it to be held in either of the 45 degree angles. Photo 6 shows a stick ready for next cut. Use double stick tape to add a stop (photo 3) that controlled depth of cut and was moved to cut opposite angle.

Here is inspiration for the Best Family Holiday Resorts
Building sandcastles, jumping in the sea, making new friends, and eating ice cream may be at the top of your child's list for a fantastic summer holiday. Parents might add useful services like babysitters, mini clubs, and entertainment geared to all the family. At loveholidays, we've got you covered with great ideas for the best family holiday destinations, whether you're travelling with tots or teens. And, with our fantastic choice of all inclusive holidays, self catering options and late deals, your summer holiday in 2018 needn't break the bank!
Family holidays in Spain
Spain is a fantastically family-friendly destination, and your children will be treated royally wherever they go. Majorca, Tenerife, Lanzarote and Ibiza are some of the best islands to visit with the family, and on mainland Spain, Salou, on the Costa Dorada, and Benidorm, on the Costa Blanca, top the rankings year after year for the most family-friendly resorts. Salou appeals because of its wonderful beaches and coves, most of which are shallow enough to suit even the youngest holidaymakers, its relaxed, laid-back vibe and its wealth of fun attractions. You can stroll along the coastal path, the Camí del Ronda, and kids will enjoy jumping through the city's many fountains (which have daily shows in summer). And, of course, it's home to the blockbuster theme park, PortAventura World, which is one of the biggest and wildest in Europe. Benidorm, long regarded a party town, has worked hard in recent years to become a family-friendly resort. Its beaches, some of the best on the Mediterranean coast, are beautiful stretches of white sand, blessed with clean, shallow waters. Attractions include everything from glass-bottomed boat trips, to scores of watersports and a clutch of water parks, safari parks and the massive Terra Mítica theme park.
Balearic Islands
Majorca is a top destination for a family holiday, with a great choice of family-friendly resorts on offer. Puerto Pollensa and Puerto Soller are our top picks, and are known as a firm favourite for family holidays. Puerto Pollensa is a laid-back town with an old-world vibe, with narrow streets, quaint cafes and of course, 2 awesome beaches. Pollensa Beach and Albercutx Beach. Away from the hustle and bustle of the lively youngster friendly resorts, Puerto Pollensa is great for a family looking to enjoy Majorca in peace. Puerto Soller is much the same, perhaps even quieter than Puerto Pollensa. Oozing with history, you'll find plenty of charming spots to enjoy a quiet meal with your family.
Canary Islands
Canaria, as the Canary Islands are fondly known, are a perfect family holiday destination, and boast loads of family friendly resorts and hotels. Whether you're choosing Lanzarote, Tenerife or Fuerteventura, you can base your holiday around what you'd like as a family. Lanzarote is a firm favourite with family holiday-makers and has been for decades. Great sunshines, lots of beaches and range of activities, Lanzarote is always a good choice. Tenerife boasts the best water parks, and Fuerteventura offers the quietest and secluded beaches. What more could you want from these choices?
Family holidays in Portugal
Another superb destination for families, Portugal has spectacular beaches, charming towns and great food, and the locals are delighted to welcome children. Albufeira is a former fishing village that has developed into one of the largest and best equipped resorts on the Algarve, and has plenty to keep both teenagers and younger kids happy. The beaches are spectacular, stretches of golden sand backed by cliffs, and you'll find lots of facilities from lifeguards to play areas. The charming Old Town is a pretty maze of narrow lanes and squares, full of family-friendly restaurants, and kids will love the dolphin-watching trips and pirate cruises. Attractions like the Slide and Splash and Aqualand water parks are fun for all the family. To really get away from it all, head to the smaller towns of the eastern Algarve, such as Tavira. This whitewashed fishing village has preserved much of its character, with traditional tiled cottages and cobbled lanes. Tavira sits on the fringes of the Ria Formosa National Park, and an inexpensive ferry ride will take you to blissfully unspoilt beaches. Attractions here are of the low-key kind: buckets and spades, gentle strolls, and perhaps a boat trip to see some of the local wildlife.
Family holidays in the Greek Islands
The Greek Islands are an idyllic holiday destination, offering everything from sandy beaches to rock pools, magnificent cultural sights (including plenty to capture the imagination of the youngest visitors) and lively resorts with lots of nightlife and entertainment for teenagers. It's hard to pick a favourite, but two that stand out as particularly suited to families are Corfu and Crete. Corfu, covered in verdant forest and fringed by immaculate beaches, combines glorious scenery and perfect peace. Best resorts for families include Paleokastritsa, which has retained much of its original character and enjoys a splendid setting amid olive groves and hills. Big enough to have plenty of facilities and entertainment for teenagers, its clutch of beaches will keep the little ones happy too. Crete has culture, history, and gorgeous landscapes as well as the summer essentials of sun, sea and sand. Aghia Pelagia is one of its best child-friendly resorts, with a large sheltered bay, great snorkelling and plenty of watersports. Myth-mad kids might enjoy following in the footsteps of the Minotaur at the nearby ruins of Knossos.
Family holidays in Turkey
Turkey's Turquoise Coast lives up to its name with picture-postcard beaches lapped by a dazzling, azure sea. Its gateway city is Antalya, a fantastic resort set around the gorgeous Konyaaltı Beach. Boat rides, water sports and diving are just some of the family-friendly activities on offer, and the ancient sites (rock tombs and Roman ruins among them) and scenic beauty spots such as the magnificent Düden Waterfalls will ensure that there's always something to keep you and the family entertained. The area's main resort is Olu Deniz which offers families superb array of entertainment in the form of stunning beaches, beautiful scenery (notably the Blue Lagoon, perfect for little children to swim in), grisly cave tombs and a wealth of great family-friendly attractions such as the Water World water park.
Long haul family holidays
Some of the best long-haul destinations include Mauritius, the Riviera Maya, Dubai and Thailand. Each offer fantastic attractions for families, whether you want to see wildlife in Mauritius, scramble over Mayan ruins in the Riviera Maya, sunbathe on dazzling white sand beaches in Dubai, or island hop in Thailand.

Jefferson National
Expansion Memorial
Jefferson National Expansion memorial was established at a National Park in 1935 to commemorate the westward expansion of the United States. Designed by architect Eero Saarinen in 1947-1948, the 630 foot Gateway Arch was built between 1963 and 1965, It stands as a monument to the city of St Louis and the diverse group of people that played a role in opening the vast wilderness west of the Mississippi.

Gateway Arch
Saint Louis, Missouri
After the Gateway arch was completed, the creeper derricks lowered themselves down the same tracks they had used to reach the top. As they descended, workers removed the tracks about them.
The Gateway Arch, or Gateway to the West, is an arch that is the centerpiece of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis, Missouri. It was built as a monument to thewestward expansion of the United States. At 630 feet (192 m), it is the tallest man-made monument in the United States, Missouri's tallest accessible building, and the largest architectural structure designed as a weighted or flattened catenary arch.
The arch is located at the site of St. Louis' foundation, on the west bank of the Mississippi River where Pierre Laclède, just after noon on February 14, 1764, told his aide, Auguste Chouteau, to build a city.
The Gateway Arch was designed by Finnish American architect Eero Saarinen and structural engineer Hannskarl Bandel in 1947. Construction began on February 12, 1963, and ended on October 28, 1965, costing US$13 million at the time (approximately $90,500,000 today). The monument opened to the public on June 10, 1967.
– Wikipedia entry
The church – The St. Louis' historic Old Cathedral, known officially as the Basilica of Saint Louis, King of France, is one of the world's most honored churches. It stands on a tiny plot on the downtown riverfront near the south leg of the Gateway Arch. The original log chapel was dedicated over 200 years ago in 1770.

Some great books this week, I have I Was Jane Austens Best Friend with the UK cover which is completely different! The cat made a cameo at the end!!ReplyDelete
oh you have so many books I am longing for! Jealous!ReplyDelete
BTW I am almost 100% sure I commented on your Ascendant review, maybe blogger is now eating your comments too. I'm going to try again now.
Revolution is REALLY good! I don't know your reading taste well enough to say for sure if you will like it, but I was really sucked into the story - especially to the historical fiction sections and historical fiction is generally not my favorite.ReplyDelete
I REALLY want that copy of Anna. I have to wait until November, since it releases in Australia (Penguin) in January and that's when they stock the final copies, I believe.ReplyDelete
But yeah, anyway, great books as always. Really excited to read Rev, as well as Unearthly!
Check out what I got this week here

I LOVE chips! Let me say it again, I LOVE CHIPS! sour cream and onion, cheddar and sour cream, salt & vinegar, ranch, barbeque...pretty much any flavor you can think of. My favorite is chips and salsa. I have been known to eat an entire bag of chips in one sitting. Sometimes, if I'm really lazy, I eat chips for dinner. There is something so satisfying about their salty goodness!!
Salt makes things taste good. Popcorn, potatoes, vegetables, eggs... they all just taste better with a little dash of salt. Without it, they all just taste a little bland. Kinda like something's missing.
God thinks so too! The bible says in Matthew 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless."
I've heard this verse a zillion times. I'm sure I've even taught it a zillion times in church. But yesterday in church, I heard it in a new way.
The world thinks christians are pompous, judgemental, hypocritical, egotistical, people. We tend to look down at people who aren't like us or who don't believe the same things as us. We're the ones who are point out everyone else's flaws but our own. We are the first to point out someone else's struggles and insecurities.
But that's not the way it's supposed to be! The bible says that we are the SALT of the earth. We're supposed to make things taste better! It should be bland when christians aren't around.
Instead, we tend to throw our salt in other people's eyes! Ever got salt water in your eyes?? Not a pleasant feeling. But every time we snub our noses, or point or fingers, or wave our religious beliefs in front of people, we are pouring salt in their wounds. Ouch!
We need to show people how relevant Jesus is to us. When someone at the office tells us of their financial troubles, we shouldn't tell them of all the wrong decisions they've made to get them to that point, but we should show them how Jesus helped us through our financial troubles. It's like that old saying (well, I don't know how old it is, but...) People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.
And so our pastor asked us, "are we tasty?"
It really made me think about the way I treat other people. I should be that tasty flavoring like salt is in popcorn. I know that's one thing I need to work on. Adding tasty flavor to someone else's life.
What about you? Are you tasty?

Only in a 2008 classroom
Yesterday, my kids drew a profile of the ocean floor. They used sonar readings and had to do some multiplication to find the depths of about 20 different points. I told the kids that if they had their own calculators to bring them because I didn't have enough for everyone.
I can't tell you how many kids asked me, "Can we use our cell phones?"
We are in a different generation :)
By the way, they couldn't use their cell phones because it's a school rule that cell phones stay locked in their locker.

A cabinet and a chest
(This is a long one...just to warn ya!)
I'm still in the midst of cleaning out my room. This weekend, I tackled my filing cabinet and my hope chest. We'll start with the filing cabinet.
My file cabinet contained every pay stub, credit card statement, utility bill, bank statement, major receipts, and basically any other piece of paper that I thought was required to keep. My dad enlightened me that all of that is really NOT necessary.
So, in my quest to clean things out and simplify things, I wanted to get rid of all that paperwork I didn't need. The problem is all this paperwork dates back to 1995! Yes, that's 18 years worth of documents!! Thankfully, my dad had gotten all of us kids a shredder a few years ago for Christmas. (He always taught us shred or rip up anything with an acct. number on it.)
I took my little shredder upstairs and got to work. I filled up the bucket a couple of times, and my poor shredder started to wear down. It started to make that sound a car might make as the engine's trying to turn over. The motor was overheating, so I let her rest a little bit.
The problem was that I had barely made a dent in my HUGE pile and I knew there was no way little shredder was going to shred the mound I had created. She needed backup.
So I went to Office Depot to recruit a backup.
This bad boy can shred credit cards AND CD's/DVD's! So, I paired them up and while one was cooling down the other was busy shreddin' up my history!
Right now, I've taken a break to let the tag team cool down and so I could watch the season finale of The Amazing Race (which I'm sure Amanda hasn't watched yet!)
OK...now to the hope chest.
You could say I'm quite a pack rat. (As evidenced by the 18 years worth of paperwork! ) Not the sad, pitiful kind that buy stuff off theHome Shopping Network and leave it laying around everywhere. Or like this woman on Oprah who had created small paths throughout her house because she had so much junk!
My "collection" of stuff is more sentimental stuff: movie ticket stubs, name tags from different events I've been a part of, trinkets from other countries, notes from friends, etc. Well, cleaning out my hope chest was a walk down memory lane! In cleaning it out, it was SO much fun to go back to those times of being a naive, oblivious-to-the-world teenager.
It also made me so extremely grateful because I have been incredibly blessed. I really feel that God has spoiled me in my life with wonderful friends. And I've kind of arranged those friends in groups:
1. Youth Group/Church Friends
I was very involved in my youth group. I was at every event, every Wednesday night, every fundraiser...you name it, I went to it. We always had something planned. There were 2 main trips we took every year: a mission trip and a back-to-school retreat. At each one of those trips, we always had these posterboard cutouts. They hung up the whole trip and during any free time, we could write little notes of encouragements on other people's template. It was a great keepsake from the trip. They were cut in the shape of a symbol that represented our theme for that trip: "Walkin' in the Light"-a footprint; "Carry the Torch"-a torch; "Heart to Change the World"-a heart...you get the picture. We would pour out our souls on those things! I loved going back and reading them and it was always a boost of encouragement when ya needed it.
Those were my closest friends! Some of them I haven't seen or talked to in years, but when I do run across them, we pick right back up and share stories of the good times. A few of them, I see on a regular basis and keep in close touch with them. They add such fulfillment to my life that I can't imagine my life without them!
2. The M&M; Puppet Team
Yes, I was on a puppet team. And not just any puppet team, the M&M; Puppet team. The award winning M&M; Puppet Team! I loved my time on the puppet team. It took me all over and was a great tool to share the love of Christ with people in other countries. I also learned an invaluable skill. You work through different levels until you complete the master puppeteer level (the same level as Jim Henson).
The puppet team was a HUGE part of my life. I was completely devoted to it and our team had such a comraderie. We just celebrated our20 year reunion and it was such a special time.
3. Sigma Nu Sigma (my sorority)
I went to Lee University which is a small private Christian school in Cleveland, TN. I absolutely loved my time at Lee. I met some wonderful people who have changed my life for the better.
One of the best parts of Lee was my time in my sorority Sigma Nu Sigma. You get really close to people when they put you through induction. Those girls were a group of people who I could constantly count on. We laughed and cried together. They truly became like family to me. My roommate, Amber, was one of those girls :)
This was me getting tapped. It was a very "pomp and circumstance" moment!
This was my tap (all the girls that got in with me). This was us AFTER our weekend of induction and we were officially sworn into the sorority.
4. Camp Rocks
Camp Rocks is a camp I help direct with my friend Cindy. I've gone to camp since I was in grade school. It was something I looked forward to every year, so as soon I was old enough to serve on staff, I did and have been ever since.
It's a TON of work getting it all together, but so rewarding once you get there. At camp, all the staff go by bird names based on this verse. My bird name is Daisy (as in Daisy Duck) so I've got a lot of little doo-dads with Daisy on it.
I love working at camp because of the sense of family we develop. Living with people for a week really brings you together!
So at the end of cleaning out my hope chest, I felt very blessed and satisfied at all the good stuff my life.
Now I'm going back upstairs to continue shredding :) Thanks for staying till the end of this post :)
Oh...just for fun, here's some old pictures I found in my hope chest:

MLK Day
MLK day is kind of a big deal around here in Atlanta because this was his home. I'm sure there will be all kind of activities at the King Center. I have actually been to Dr. King's church, Ebenezer Baptist Church. We went there on a mission trip in downtown one year. But as far as MLK day festivities...I don't really do anything other than enjoy the day off :) However, I do have this little piece of history. In middle school, one of Dr. King's children came to visit my home ec. class (i know...I don't really see the connection there!) I couldn't tell you what he talked about. Must have been truly life-changing. But I did walk away with a little momento. A genuine, authentic Martin Luther King III autograph! I know you're jealous :)

I feel like a grown-up blogger!
Since I've started blogging, I've been using standard templates. The same ones that most people use. Now, that I have a custom header and background, I feel like a grown-up!!
I came across Brandy's website and saw that she did some amazing headers and backgrounds. I got in contact with her, showed her some colors and patterns I liked and she did an amazing job!!
I love it Brandy! Thank you so much!!

The BIG news!!
OK...it's safe for me to tell you my big news. I had to wait till my sister posted at her blog. She finally did, so now the cat's out of the bag....
Mandi's pregnant!! This is her 2nd baby and my 5th niece or nephew!
We all got together last night for my brothers' birthday. They're twins and turned 26 on Tuesday. Since it's hard to get the WHOLE family together, I guess Mandi thought it was the perfect time to tell us.
So Matt and Clint were opening their cards, the kids were running around all over the place, and people were just kind of mingling around. All of a sudden, Matt reads his card and his head shoots up and he says, "You're PREGNANT?!". Of course we were all a little confused because it was just a birthday card. Then Clint reads his and this is what they read:
Sorry it's kinda blurry. It says, "Love, Mandi, Pep, Evan and baby on the way!"
Well, we finally understood that she used the card to announce her pregnancy, we (or mostly me and Evan) started screaming!! Literally! It was funny because he didn't really know why he was screaming. He just likes to copy people!!
So, that's the big news! I am SO excited and can't wait!!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
I've lived in Georgia for 31 years and I could probably count on my hand the times it has snowed. I realized for some of you "snow" is a relative term. For us down south, a couple of inches can literally shut down the whole town, schools close and grocery stores become vacant as people buy up all the milk and bread. But it is such an exciting time.
Last night we had one of those nights! As I was driving home from work it began to very faintly snow flurries. That in and of itself sends the native in a frenzy. After I left the gym, the flakes got bigger and bigger. Wednesday night is dinner night and it was Brandon's turn to cook. He made some de-lish Carribbean Jerk Chicken! Yummy!! After dinner, we looked outside and could NOT believe our eyes! There was snow EVERYWHERE!! Of course, us 3 teachers were on pins and needles waiting to hear that our county had called off school. Here's us havin' a little fun:
Here's how pretty the snow was:
We got all excited and Brandon and Amber went to the store to get stuff for s'mores!! While they were gone, I built...er....turned on a fire.
It was such a fun night!! Of course, that fun quickly ended at about 5:30 am when we realized we still had school today :(

Cool New Stuff!
So I mentioned last post how I went to the mall this weekend. Finally, spent some christmas money I had. So here's some of the fun new stuff I got:
3 pairs of shoes! I have been looking for black boots with a low heel forever now! Everybody is just about sold out of boots. I had to go to about 10 different shoe stores. Maybe that's why I walked away with 3 pairs instead of just the one!
I am a scarf queen. I'm addicted to them, so it was hard for me to pass on this gray cable knit style scarf from Old Navy. Oh...did I mention it was only $1.50!
Remember my adventure in William's Sonoma? I did have some luck despite the scream fest. This mixing bowl with lid was only $6! Plus...
...a cool brand of cupcakes called Sprinkles. This was pumpkin flavor (which makes me think it was leftover from fall. Hope it's still good!) Oh, this little find was only .99!!
YIKES! I know this is scary, but I wanted to show off the outfit. The pants were majorly on sale at Express. This is what I wore to school today :)
Did you have any incredible finds this weekend?

5 Things
I've been tagged by Kristen to tell you 5 things (x2) about what I want for 2008. I'm supposed to tell you what I want materially and spiritually. Well, here goes!
5 material things I want for 2008:
1. A wedding dress (and the man amazing enough to wear it for!). A girl can hope, can't she?
2. More money. I'm working on paying off some debts. I went to a money conference called ReThink Money a few months ago. It was very practical information on how to pay off debts, so I'm on my way!
3. Smaller size clothes. Meaning I want to lose weight! Which should happen since I've now joined the YMCA! Nope, that is NOT a typo. Those of you that know me, know how much I HATE...repeat HATE working out! My roomie Amber has convinced me to do it with her. I just figured that if I want to be around on this earth, I've GOT to start exercising. Don't worry...you'll be seeing lots from this, I'm sure.
4. A new kitchen table and chairs. The one I have is from K-Mart that I got for college. It is about to go!
5. Flat, brown slouch boots. Similar to these. I have looked everywhere: Macy's, Dilliards, Nine West, Cathy Jean, Aldo's, Bakers, Payless, Rack Room, DSW, Off Broadway, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom...NO ONE HAS MY SIZE!! Ugh...maybe it's a sign :)
5 spiritual things I want for 2008:
1. To be able to KNOW it's God's voice and not my own.
2. To become more disciplined in my devotions.
3. To fully trust God with an unwavering faith.
4. To share my faith more.
5. To see God's hand in my every day life.

Rules are there for a reason!
I'm a stickler for the rules! If there's a sign saying "Don't do [something]", you better believe that I WON'T do it. (OK...unless it's a speed limit sign!) And it frustrates me when other people totally disregard the rules.
Today, I saw the perfect example!
I was at the mall (which by the way I'll post later some of the cool stuff I bought!) and was about to get on the escalator. I don't know if this is the case for all malls or not, but at my mall there are signs at the escalators that say "No Strollers". Simple as that. I'm pretty sure there's even one of those circles with a line through it over a picture of a stroller. Can you GET any clearer than that?!
Well, this priss-pot, metro couple hopped on before me with, yep you guessed it, a stroller. Not just any stroller mind you, one of those 2 seater where the kids sit one behind the other. My blood pressure boiled as I screamed in my head, "Didn't you see the sign?!" Ugh...
We got to the top of the escalator and it became apparently clear why they don't want you to use strollers on the escalator. The front wheel had turned sideways, so as they tried to get off, it acted like a brake and wouldn't move! They wiggled and wiggled as hard as they could. At first, it was kind of funny, but then it quickly turned to panic. The stroller was NOT moving. The dad had wedged himself towards the front to frantically try and unstick the wheel. The mom was now coming up on the stuck stroller and had now where to go, so she was forced on the other side of the stroller. The stroller had now turned diagonal because of the twisted wheel and both parents trapped on either side. The mom started shouting and they dad became even more frantic. By this time, the dad was leaning over the stroller trying to pick up the front of it. Nothing was working. Mind you, the escalator is still going! I was next in line! I started making my plan of what I was going to do. It was coming up fast. Was I going to jump on top of the stroller? Get wedged with the mom? There were really no other options.
Literally, about 2 seconds before a pile-up happened, the dad got it unstuck! It spit the dad off the escalator onto the floor on all fours.
My heart was about to jump out of my chest. Ya know that feeling of release after you've been tense for a long time? That's what it felt like...like a flood.
I almost had to sit down to catch myself. Then I went on my way. I stopped in to Williams-Sonoma to check out their after Christmas sales. As I was looking around, I heard this squalling, ear-piercing screaming. I walked around the corner and who did I see...
...the law breaking stroller couple!
I know kids yell, but normally a parent will...er...should discipline the kids for doing that. But this ever so trendy mom just sort of shooshed them. And it wasn't a one time thing. SEVERAL times they screamed bloody murder and the mom made no attempt to quiet them.
It made me even more made at them!

A Potpourri of Posts!
The randomness of my weekend:
~I made cupcakes for my friend Amanda's daughter's 2nd birthday. It was a snowflake party, so I made snowflake themed cupcakes.
~One of my Christmas presents came in this weekend. It's a knife block set from KitchenAid, but what I love about it is that it's PINK!!
~In the midst of all of this, I've been cleaning my room. Not just your basic tidy-ing up...I did a massive overhaul of my closet. Basically, I got rid of half of the clothes in my closet, half of my shoes, and half of my purses. It feels SO good to get rid of those clothes that I always said "I'll wear this one day". Yeah right. I'm not done by any stretch of the imagination but my closet was a huge obstacle. Here's some shots in the midst of the process:
These are the clothes, shoes, purses all bagged up and ready to go.
I wish I would've taken "before" shots because it's hard to appreciate the "after" shots.
~I saw "National Treasure: Book of Secrets". It was SOOOOOOO good! Go see it!! Very family friendly!
~Today, I had a Square Peg Ministries board meeting. I'm the secretary. It was an exciting meeting as we talked about different fundraising ideas.
~I'm SO frustrated b/c I have a stinkin' cute video of Evan that I CANNOT figure out how to post! It didn't work Jason :(
~I start back to work tomorrow after 2 weeks off. Wah-wah :( I'm hoping my kids all made New Year's resolutions to become more studious and more respectful to their teacher. Wishful thinking, I know.

New Year's Eve 2008
So, did you have a rockin' New Year's Eve?? Mine was! OK, so most people might not classify it as "rockin'", but we had a blast! I went over to my sister's house. Here's how the night went:
Evan entertained us with his Stevie Ray Vaughan impersonations.
Then, Pep and Mandi made us a delicious dinner: steak, potatoes, broccoli, salad, and mushrooms.
What New Year's would be complete without fireworks?! Ok...so sparklers and pop-its will have to do. (FYI: I got carded for the sparklers! Weird, huh?!) Don't worry...Evan was under close supervision :)
Fireworks worked up quite an appetite, so we went in and made s'mores!!
I'm not as young as I used to be :( so I had kind of rest up for the big moment:
Don't worry...I did make it for midnight! Then, it was night-night :)
Hope you had a fun and safe New Year's Eve!

1) The SPD EEPROM is required by the JEDEC standard, but there should be a way to make DDR functional without the EEPROM. How can this be done?
2) What is the EEPROM on the LS1043ARDB being used for and how can the function be moved to another memory location such as flash memory?
3) How painful would it be to move the EEPROM data into boot code and is there a configuration that does this already without having to make kernel and uboot changes?
Thanks you.

Dealing with the trauma of mass shootings | Concerns rise for protesters in Hong Kong
Dr. Linda Mintle shares the multifactorial nature of mass shootings and other acts of evil today. Although we like to imagine a simple fix, there is no solution save for the transformation of human hearts by God. Perpetrators are dealing with layers of complex pain that is individual, familial, cultural and national. What we want to reduce to hate inflamed by political speech is far more complex than soundbites allow.
Dr. David Aikman shares his rising concern for the prospects of a peaceful resolution in Hong Kong. Protesters there are in the ninth week of protests against what young Hong Kongers see as China's attempts to Sinocize them. Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, the U.S. is negotiating with the Taliban and Dr. Aikman reminds us how much worldview matters when we consider just how long some of these conflicts have been going on.

text: There's something about Autumn that calls for dark lipstick. Merlot and berry shades feel too heavy for summer but the as the nights draw in and halloween being around the corner, it's the perfect time for gothic lipstick. I personally like a matt finish – I've tried glossy berry shades but I've always ended up in a sticky mess with it smeared all over my teeth. Those of you who are less accident prone than I am might have more success with a shiny wine-red. The trick to finding the perfect shade is to contrast the colour with your skin tone – I have yellow tones in my skin so I need cooler shades with blue, pinkish undertones. My current shade is Entourage by Lipstick Queen. If your skin is of a cooler tone then you should go for lipstick with a brownish, red base. There are lots of great tutorials to show how to apply plummy lipsticks – my favourite's are by Lisa Eldridge and Charlotte Tilbury.

How to Get the Most From Your Enterprise Machine Data
The instrumented enterprise needs to gain a unified view of all machine data without falling into the growing value gap caused by exponential data growth and the inability to extract value from that data.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- 3Com's shares jumped 15 percent Wednesday as investors cheered the company's narrower-than-expected loss amid modest revenue growth.
The Santa Clara, Calif.-based networking-equipment maker reported a pro forma fiscal second-quarter loss of $47.1 million, or 14 cents a share, compared with $51.2 million, or 15 cents a share, in the same period a year ago. Analysts had expected a loss of 22 cents a share for the period, which ended Nov. 30, according to Thomson Financial/First Call.
3Com's stock
The company's net loss narrowed to $103.7 million, or 30 cents a share, compared with $140 million, or 41 cents, in the same period last year.
The pro forma results excluded $32 million in restructuring costs, as well as $12.9 million in charges for amortization and write-downs of intangibles -- which normally includes copyrights, patents, trademarks, write-downs for overpriced acquisitions and other assets.
"Despite the intensive cost and cash focus, as well as the downturn in the economy, we actually had 4 percent revenue growth for ongoing products," CEO Bruce Claflin said in a conference call. He said the company remains on track or ahead of plan in nearly all parts of its turnaround.
The company wouldn't give an expectation for per-share losses in its fiscal third and fourth quarters. Management said it couldn't commit to being profitable in the fiscal fourth quarter, either.
3Com expects pro forma sales to be flat to slightly up in the fourth quarter compared with the just-reported period. The company expects a "seasonal decline" in sales in the third quarter, management said. The company expects operating expenses to be flat in the third quarter, with further reductions in the fourth quarter.
Sales were $394 million in the quarter, cut in half from $789.5 million last year. The company increased sales from $390 million in the previous quarter.
Gross margins were $133 million or 33.8 percent, an increase of $70 million from last quarter.
3Com ended the quarter with $1.39 billion in cash and short-term investments and generated positive cash flow from operations -- on a pro forma basis. 3Com's pro forma pre-tax loss was $40 million, and the company added back $42 million in depreciation.
Collection of accounts receivable improved to 42 days, down from 45 days in the previous quarter.

JensMy last bike got stolen, so I needed a new bike and had seen the Cowboy advertisement as well as an article on this new stylish ebike before that. It looks really stunning and drives well when the battery works. That however is the problem so far. About two weeks ago did the bike shut down on my way home from work - maybe it's worth to say, that my city is really hilly and some of the uphill passages are impossible to cycle without the battery support. I thought this might have been a reminder on not having charged my bike after two weeks as said in the manual. Worked fine after charging that night until the day before yesterday. This time I was still within the 14 days in between charging and the battery simply died on me. I left home with three lights and 54%. When I arrived at work was I down to two lights, but didn't check the percentage. After work was there only one light left and the App said I had only 2km left. Needless to say, that I didn't make it home and had to push my Cowboy in between. Bad timing to ask for my comment, because so far my Cowboy didn't prove reliable at all.

When Laura and Brian stopped by our studio last week to confirm final details of their wedding day, I knew it was going to be a fun wedding with people with warm hearts.
The day started with a little bit of rain, but not too much at all, but in the face of Laura and her friends and family, I could see nothing but smile and laughter. When Laura was walking down the aisle, I could see Brian biting his lips and his emotion through my LCD. The priest at the church was super cool (and very funny!) which always helps us capture the beautiful ceremony.
Reception was held at Cafe la Cave, and the staff treated all the vendors so well.
Followed by slide show that Laura and Brian created, we premiered the Same Day Edit, and for the first time, I actually looked away to see how the couple and their parents (+grand parents) reacted the SDE, and all I can say is, they reminded me why we do what we do.
Photography was done by Jenn and Jacque from Jennifer Kathryn Photography and DJ was Duke Shin from one of my favorite DJ service from Style Matters
Enjoy the Same Day Edit, and congratulations to Laura + Brian!

The municipal officers may, seasonally, impose such restrictions on the gross registered weight of vehicles as may, in their judgment, be necessary to protect the traveling public and prevent abuse of the highways, and designate the town ways and bridges to which the restrictions shall apply.
Whenever notice has been posted as provided herein, no person may thereafter operate any vehicle with a gross registered weight in excess of 6 tons (12,000 pounds) during any applicable time period on any way or bridge so posted unless otherwise exempt as provided herein.
The notice shall contain, at a minimum, the following information: the name of the way or bridge, the gross registered weight limit, the time period during which the restriction applies, the date on which the notice was posted, and the signatures of the municipal officers.
The notice shall be conspicuously posted at each end of the restricted portion of the way or bridge in a location clearly visible from the travelway.

AoA Decals # 32-017
Vietnamese Spads (1): VNAF AD-6/A-1H Skyraiders in the Vietnam War --
1:32 Scale
The Skyraider was designed by the eminent Ed Heinemann of Douglas Aircraft during World War II. With its first flight in early 1945, the AD-1 (later re-designated A-1 and widely nicknamed as the Spad) missed that war, but went into combat over Korea. It served in the medium attack role during Vietnam with the USAF and the US Navy, and even during the jet age, this piston-engine airplane proved itself as one of the most versatile and tough air-to-ground platforms. By the late 1960s Skyraiders demonstrated particular value employed by the USAF's Special Operations Command (AFSOC) in providing both cover in search and rescue missions and the "Sandy" helicopter escort combat rescue missions.
The A-1 was also flown by the South Vietnamese Air Force (VNAF) for much of the Vietnam War. As the Grumman A-6 Intruder took over the Skyraider's duties, the VNAF began to receive these surplus Navy airplanes – eventually numbering more than 300 in their inventory. By 1973, all remaining US Skyraiders went to the South Vietnamese. As their close air support and ground attack workhorse, some have argued that South Vietnamese Skyraider pilots were amongst the most skillful of all A-1 operators.
Here, AoA Decals provides the first of two decal sheet sets in their 1:32 scale Vietnamese Spad series. These are designed to fit the Trumpeter kit but can be adapted to the Zoukei-Mura kit as well. Markings for 10 schemes covering eight A-1Hs are provided:
- A-1H, 134505, 1st FS/514th FS, 1962/63
- A-1H, 135224, 1st FS/514th FS, 1963
- A-1H, 134636, 1st FS/514th FS, 1962-64
- A-1H, 134636, 514th FS, 1967
- A-1H, 137564, 524th FS, 1966
- A-1H, 139744, 522nd FS/83rd SOG, 1966
- A-1H, 139770, 530th FS, 1970-71
- A-1H, 135295, 520th FS, 1966
- A-1H, 137609, 518th FS, 1968
- A-1H, 134636, 514th FS, 1969
These decals were printed by Cartograf, and the quality does not get any better than this. The airframe stencils are sharp and legible. In fact, I must comment on the vibrant colors and remarkable decal design by AoA. These may in fact be the most beautifully designed and printed decals I have ever seen, particularly with the rear fuselage bands. They took my breath away when I first began to examine them, and they will probably inspire quite a few scale modelers to start an A-1 project - just so they can use these decals. The choice in airframes and color schemes are also equally great, spanning overall gull grey, SEA camouflage colors, and indigenous VNAF color schemes from the early to late years of the war. The instructions come on four double-sided pages, printed sharply and in color, and provide technical notes, stencil placement guides, and carefully researched details on the various paint schemes.
Many thanks to AoA Decals for the review sample. You can find them on the web at http://www.aoadecals.com and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/AOAdecals.

So if you ever read a blog post you know I have dry skin 🤷🏻♀ and it's the worst because I live in the mountains where it's extra dry outside. So it's a battle. But I finally found a way to where I can make it look okay! Makeup used to look HORRIBLE on me in winter but I've found ways to help.
Wash your face!
Take your makeup off at night. Wash your face! I invested in a Foreo and it's been a game changer for sure! I also use a moisturizing face wash about 4 times a week.
Moisturize Moisturize
I still LOVE my neutrogena one but this has been great to! It's pricey but anything will do. Find one that works for you. Just day and night, put it on!
I recently started using serums. And they really do make the deference! These are the sample sizes from Sephora so they're cheaper.
If I'm feeling extra dry I reach for an oil. These two are both great. The ordinary one is more oily and it clogs my pores if I use to much. But any face oil you can find that works will help.
I use the Modern Fiction one once a week because it's intense. But I do exfoliate 3 times a week. And it has been a huge help. Getting the dry dead skin off my face means less makeup sticking to it. This Loreal one isn't my favorite, but there other sugar scrubs are great!
Prime and set
When it comes to makeup using a hydrating primer makes a huge difference. It helps the moisture stay locked in and make foundation and powders look better at least on me. And using a good spray! I like Fix+ and Morphe the best for the hydration. Stay away from ones with alcohol though. They can dry you out in the long run.
This is how I do it! I hope if you have dry skin this helps 😊
My February goals!

A member representing Egor/Ikpoba-Okha Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Jim Adun has reacted to the proceedings in the ongoing National confab stating that it will not see the light of the day.
Honorable Adun, a two-time house of Representative member expressed deep reservations about the Confab added that it will be a slight on the National assembly to adopt proceedings from a selected body to be passed into law
He said whereas members of the National Assembly were elected by the people to represent them and make laws for the good governance of the people, it will be according to him 'foolhardy' to think that proceedings from the delegate conference will be adopted.
Adun who is seeking to represent Edo South Senatorial District under the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC) at the Senate said "I am one individual who is against the national conference. It is an exercise in futility. How do you get unelected people to waste public resources and make recommendations for us to pass into law"
"We must face the truth. We have weak persons in government if you can shut down the state and National Assemblies and let us go and have a National Conference."
Speaking on his senatorial ambition Adun said "we have taken cue from the state and the challenge before us is to improve on what then state governor has done. We have achieved a lot in the House of Representatives in terms of bringing to our people dividends of democracy to our people."

R&B Legend Sam Moore to Perform at The 37th Annual 'A Capitol Fourth' on July 4th, 2017
R&B music sensation Sam Moore will be performing at this year's PBS special: A Capitol Fourth!
Legendary soul man Sam Moore will be performing with the Blue Brothers at this year's 37th edition of PBS' A Capitol Fourth, the annual event that airs on Tuesday, July 4th from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m. ET. This star-studded show will be airing live from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol.
Named one of the "Top 100 Greatest Singers of All Time" by Rolling Stone Magazine, Moore is best known as one half of the famed Grammy-winning R&B duo Sam & Dave. Their monster hit "Soul Man" catapulted them up both the Pop and R&B Charts selling more than 10 million records worldwide. The Blues Brothers, who based their stage presence and personae on Sam & Dave, premiered their breakthrough, high‐energy rendition of "Soul Man" during their national television debut in 1978 on Saturday Night Live. "I couldn't think of a more fitting way to honor the 50th anniversary of the release of my 1967 Grammy winning song 'Soul Man' than to be asked to perform it with the Blues Brothers on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol," said Sam Moore, whose album An American Patriot is scheduled for release later this summer.
Communicating this news would not only be a compelling story for the Soul and R&B music community, but the nation as a whole.
The show will be hosted by notable actor and producer John Stamos alongside an all-star cast: The Blue Brothers, The Beach Boys, Mark McGrath, Trace Adkins, Kellie Pickler, The Four Tops, Chris Blue, Yolanda Adams, Laura Osnes and the National Symphony Orchestra and Sofia Carson performing the National Anthem.
The program can also be heard live over NPR stations worldwide, live-streamed online on Facebook Live and http://www.pbs.org/a-capitol-fourth and available as Video on Demand for a limited time of July 4th to the 18th.
