|This book is a mature book on Enterprise Information Architecture. By mature I mean thorough and packed with wisdom gained through experience. I am a member of the Microsoft camp. I have been for a long time now, and I have no intention of switching to IBM, but I wish Microsoft would be producing books like this that included their technology. Microsoft may able to in a few years, but they are no where close to being this mature with their Enterprise Architecture tools now. The Microsoft MDM tools are showing signs of improvement with Denali, but they still have a way to go before the product is a competitor to the IBM MDM stack.
This is one of the best real world Enterprise Information Architecture books I have read. It starts off with a few chapters that go into great detail introducing and defining Enterprise Information Architecture. It then has individual chapters that detail the individual topics. They include A Conceptual and Logical View, Component Model, Operational Model, New Delivery Models: Cloud Computing, Enterprise Information Integration, Intelligent Utility Networks, Enterprise Metadata Management , Master Data Management , Web 2.0 World, Dynamic Warehousing, and New Trends in Business Analytics and Optimization.
This book does an excellent job of making the case for architecture in the enterprise. The concept of architecture is hard enough to sell on individual software development projects, but on an enterprise level it is usually treated as a four letter word and the word is not "good". So many places today have what they call an Enterprise Architecture group, but rarely do they do anything that has to do with Enterprise Architecture. If you curious as to what they should be doing, read this book.
The book references maturity models frequently. They are great for gauging where your company is on the maturity level.
The book also does a great job of introducing the different data domains found in a decent size enterprise. They include Metadata, Master Data, Operational Data, Unstructured Data, and Analytical data. Having these defined by context and role allows you to implement an IT Governance framework to manage them.
The book is written in an easy to read format and is broken down in a very logic way making it also easy to target specific topics.
No matter what your technology stack is this book can help you implement an Enterprise Information Architecture or at least it will help you improve the one you have in place now.

Gay Wash. couples get marriage licenses
SEATTLE (AP) — Two by two, dozens of same-sex couples obtained their marriage licenses in Washington state early Thursday, just hours after hours after Gov. Chris Gregoire signed a law legalizing gay marriage.
King County, the state's biggest county, opened the doors to its auditor's office in Seattle just after midnight PST to start distributing marriage licenses. But hundreds of people had lined up hours earlier, snaking around the downtown Seattle building on a chilly December night.
"We knew it was going to happen, but it's still surreal," said Amanda Dollente, who along with her partner, Kelly Middleton, began standing in line at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Washington state now joins several other states that allow gay and lesbian couples to wed. Gregoire and Secretary of State Sam Reed certified the election on Wednesday afternoon, as they were joined by couples who plan to wed and community activists who worked on the campaign supporting gay marriage.
Because the state has a three-day waiting period, the earliest that weddings can take place is Sunday. Same-sex couples who previously were married in another state that allows gay marriage, like Massachusetts, will not have to get remarried in Washington state. Their marriages will be valid here as soon as the law takes effect.
"This is a very important and historic day in the great state of Washington," Gregoire said before signing the measure that officially certified the election results. "For many years now we've said one more step, one more step. And this is our last step for marriage equality in the state of Washington."
Last month, Washington, Maine and Maryland became the first states to pass same-sex marriage by popular vote. They joined six other states — New York, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont — and the District of Columbia that had already enacted laws or issued court rulings permitting same-sex marriage.
Referendum 74 in Washington state had asked voters to either approve or reject the state law legalizing same-sex marriage that legislators passed earlier this year. That law was signed by Gregoire in February but was put on hold pending the outcome of the election. Nearly 54 percent of voters approved the measure.
The law doesn't require religious organizations or churches to perform marriages, and it doesn't subject churches to penalties if they don't marry gay or lesbian couples.
King County, the state's largest and home to Seattle, and Thurston County, home to the state capital of Olympia, will opened at 12:01 a.m. Thursday to start issuing marriage licenses.
Asked whether the middle-of-the-night marriage license roll-out was necessary, King County Executive Dow Constantine said, "People who have been waiting all these years to have their rights recognized should not have to wait one minute longer."
In Seattle, the mood was festive. Volunteers distributed roses, coffee and fruit. Couples canoodled to keep warm. Champagne was poured. Different groups of men and women serenaded the waiting line, one to the tune of "Going to the Chapel."
"We waited a long time. We've been together 35 years, never thinking we'd get a legal marriage. Now I feel so joyous I can't hardly stand it," said 85-year-old Pete-e Petersen, who with her partner, 77-year-old Jane Abbott Lighty, were the first to get a license.
After meeting 35 years ago on a blind date in Sacramento, Lighty and Petersen will get married on Sunday. The couple has been out buying shoes and clothes for their wedding.
Maryland's law officially takes effect Jan. 1, however couples can start picking up marriage licenses on Thursday, as long as the license has an effective date of Jan. 1. Whether clerks of court issue a postdated license is up to them, however. They are not required to do so. Maine's law takes effect on Dec. 29. There's no waiting period in Maine, and people can start marrying just after midnight.
In addition to private ceremonies that will start taking place across Washington state this weekend, Seattle City Hall will open for several hours on Sunday, and several local judges are donating their time to marry couples. Aaron Pickus, a spokesman for Mayor Mike McGinn, said that more than 140 couples have registered to get married at City Hall, and weddings will begin at 10 a.m.
Washington state has had a domestic partnership law in place since 2007. The initial law granted couples about two dozen rights, including hospital visitation and inheritance rights when there is no will. It was expanded a year later, and then again in 2009, when lawmakers completed the package with the so-called "everything but marriage" law that was ultimately upheld by voters later that year.
This year, lawmakers passed the law allowing gay marriage, and Gregoire signed it in February. Opponents gathered enough signatures for a referendum, putting the law on hold before it could take effect.
There are nearly 10,000 domestic partnership registrations with the secretary of state's office. Most same-sex domestic partnerships that aren't ended prior to June 30, 2014, automatically become marriages, unless one of the partners is 62 or older.
That provision was included in the state's first domestic partnership law of 2007 to help heterosexual seniors who don't remarry out of fear they could lose certain pension or Social Security benefits.
Among those getting marriage licenses Thursday was gay rights activist Dan Savage, who will marry his partner on Sunday with other couples at Seattle City Hall.
"It's been a long fight but it ain't over," he said. "We still have to fight (the Defense of Marriage Act) and there's 41 other states were same-sex couples aren't allowed to marry."

Unlike in 2011, when she took the oath as Bengal's CM in Raj Bhavan, this time around, Mamata Banerjee will be amidst lakhs on Red Road today. Invites — as many as 25,000 — have already been sent out and at least a two-lakh crowd is expected to attend her swearing-in as the CM for the second term. Among the invitees, there are several celebs and though there's no news of any cultural event, everyone is gearing up to be by Didi's side on her big day. Here's a lowdown on who's doing what… WANT TO, BUT CAN'T MAKE IT I have received an invite, but I'm extremely tied up with Praktan's premiere in the evening. There is a long to-do list and till the last minute, I will be busy making calls. I wish CM Mamata Banerjee all the best on forming government for the second time. Shiboprosad Mukherjee, director I am in Thailand at the moment along with Mimi (Chakraborty), Sayantika (Banerjee), Jisshu (Sengupta) and Ankush. We are currently shooting for Raja Chanda's movie. Though I got an invite from CM's office, I won't be able to attend the ceremony. The loss is entirely mine. Nusrat Jahan, actress BUSY, BUT WILL BE THERE... I was in Toronto and sent Didi flowers and sweets after the poll results. Though I have Praktan's premiere in the evening, I will be there for the swearing-in ceremony, no matter what. Rituparna Sengupta, actress Iam shooting Mahanayak with Prosenjit Chatterjee and am also busy with the pre-production of my next film. Though there's a lot up my sleeve, I will still attend the ceremony. Birsa Dasgupta, director NOT SHOOTING TODAY Before the Assembly polls, I travelled the length and breadth of the state with Didi. People said seats would reduce, but this victory means people have full faith in her. I will go to the ceremony early and leave for Bolpur, where we'll begin shooting for Amazon Obijaan. DEV, actor Though one of my television productions is underway, I am not shooting… I rigorously campaigned for months and on Didi's big day, there's no question of keeping any other work. I want to see lakhs root for Didi as she takes oath for the second time. I really hope it doesn't rain. Raj Chakrabarty, director ELECTIONS, NOT THE LAST WORD My father had a massive heart attack and is in the ICCU at the moment. Since Didi invited me personally, it would be unfair if I stay away from the ceremony because of personal reasons. I will wear a pair of white kurta-pyjama, which my mother has gifted me. It's a day to celebrate and I would love to see her take the oath for the second time. Soham, actor I will leave home by 11 as the ceremony starts at 12.45 pm. I got a call from Derek (O'Brien) and haven't spoken to Didi since the poll defeat. She had messaged me nonetheless. Though I know a lot of people are turning up today and probably I won't even get a chance to meet her, I am taking some aam sotto from Malda with me. She really likes it and if I get a chance, I will give it to her. For the ceremony, I will pair a kurta with denims. Soumitra Ray, musician DIDI DOESN'T ACCEPT GIFTS What can I gift Didi? I am too small for it. The only thing I can do is be by her side. This is the first time that I will be attending an oath-taking ceremony; the thought itself is giving me goosebumps. I am very proud of Didi's thumping victory; I was sure this was going to happen. Shrikant Mohta, producer Didi doesn't accept any gift. If ever someone gives her anything, she takes it, holds it for a while and gives it back. My gift to Didi will be complete allegiance; whenever she wants me to do anything, I am there. When I was in Toronto to attend a film festival, Didi called me in person. I will wear a white kurta-pyjama to the ceremony. Arindam Sil, director STILL TRYING I am shooting for a television programme and have to attend my film's premiere in the evening. In between too, I have plenty of work at home. I am extremely happy for Didi, but I don't know if I will manage time to attend the swearing-in ceremony. Manali Dey, actress I have received an invite, but since I am shooting for Manoj Michigan's Ami Joy Chatterjee, I am not sure if I can attend it. Abir Chatterjee, actor

Each object has a name. The object name and Object type are used to identify an object. 2. Define Subsystem? The subsystem is a predefined environment through which the system coordinates the workflow and use of resource. The system can contain several subsystems, all operating independently of each other. Subsystem shares resources. The runtime characteristics of a subsystem are defined in an object called subsystem description. 3. What is single level storage? All system storage is addressed in the same way. The user only needs to know the name of the program to run it. The AS/400 system's virtual addressing is independent of an object's physical location and type, capacity and number of disk units on the system. Main storage and disk storage appears contiguous. An object is stored and retrieved via a device-independent addressing mechanism. 4. What is job? A job is the basic unit of work on the AS/400.Each activity is done as a part of a job.

What does STRSRVJOB command used for ? It is used to debug the batch programs or debug the interactive program of another job. 200. What is current library?
Frequently Asked Questions in AS/400
Page 14
When an object is created, the qualified name places the object in the specified library. Otherwise it is placed in QGPL library. Each job can have a current library, which is part of the job's library list. The current can be specified in the user profile (CRTUSRPRF/CHGUSRPRF). 201. What is user profile? A user profile is an object of type *USRPRF that identifies a particular user or group of user to the AS/400 system. The user is known in the system by a user profile name. When a workstation user signs on, the use Id is used to find the user profile. All AS/400 system security functions rely on the user profile to describe each user. The user profile identifies which objects and functions the user is authorized to use, identifies the first menu the user sees, and also the first program that is to be run when the user signs on the system. 202. ___________ command allows you to list all authorities and all objects owned by a user. DSPUSRPRF This command can be used to dump this data into a system generated database file when the OUTPUT (*OUTFILE) option is taken. 203. What are the types of authority? There are two major types of system authority Special Authority, Specific Authority, Private Authority, Public Authority. 204. What is group profile? A group profile specifies the same authorities to a group of users. A group profile provides a way of specifying the same set of authorities to multiple users by allowing each member to use the authority assigned to the group profile. Once a user is granted member ship of a group profile (by putting the group profile name in the GRPPRF parameter in the GHGUSRPRF and CRTUSRPRF commands) the user will implicitly obtain all authorities associated with the group profile. A group profile cannot be a member of another group. A user may be a member of up to 16 group profiles there can be only one primary group profile. A user's group authority is only tested if they have no specific authority for the object. OWNER parameter ensures the ownership of objects created by users in the group. 205. What is authorization list? An authorization list is an object of type *AUTL which contains list of users and the authority that each user has to the objects that the list secures. One user's authority may differ from the authority of another user on the list. If a user on the authorization list also has private authority to the object secured by the list, the users private authority overrides the authority specified for him on the list. 206. What is adopted authority? When a program is created, it can specify that the program always runs under the program owner's user profile. A user does not need authority specifically given to him for the objects used by the program, but adopts the program owner's authority. Any user who calls a program, which allows adopted authority gains the same authorities as the owner of the program. When they exit the program, or call another program using the TFRCTL command then they lose the adopted authorities. 207. ___________, _____________ and _______________ are the commands allows you to manage your own batch jobs, all active jobs and jobs by the user respectively. WRKSBMJOB, WRKACTJOB and WRKUSRJOB. 208. An _____________ job cannot return to the job queue. Active job. 209. Mention the categories of information that a subsystem description contains? Frequently Asked Questions in AS/400 Page 15
System attributes, Work entries, Autostart job entries, Workstation entries, Job queue entries, Communication entries, Prestart job entries and Routing entries. 210. A source physical file can be used for holding up to ____________ source members. 32. 211. SEU allows a maximum number of ___________ records in a source member. 32764. 212. _________ key used to obtain system command line with in the SEU screen. F21. 213. Is any way to manipulate user-defined option for Work member PDM Screen? Option 9 in STRPDM. 214. CL as a programming language has a limit of _____ record formats per program. CL as a programming language has a limit of 100 record formats per program. A display file can contain 1024 record formats definition. The RCDFMT parameter allows you to list which record formats you would like to use in your CL program. Otherwise the program would declare the first 99 record formats by default that could be a lot of variables.

Chanel Charming Glossimer ($27.00 for 0.19 fl. oz.) is a sheer barely-there pink gloss with pink shimmer. It is new and limited edition from Chanel's holiday collection. The gloss itself is nearly colorless, but the shimmer is colored enough that it's noticeable when worn. It's a very minimal, easy-to-wear kind of shade that will be a must for some and a, "So what?" kind of gloss for others. Charming can be worn alone for a little dazzle or layered on top of lipsticks to add shine and shimmer.Read Full Review

Hi Everyone,
I'm planning a trip for next fall (mid-October) to the Hamptons. We'll be staying at Baker House 1650 in East Hampton. This will be our first trip there. I'd like some advice for how many days we should spend in the area. Will there be enough to do if I book 4 nights/5 days? We enjoy shopping, visiting wineries, restaurants, museums and sightseeing.

Advice for Autumn in the Hamptons
Hi Everyone,
Report Abuse
Assuming you're willing to do some driving to other villages and perhaps the North Fork, you should be fine with 5 days. I'd make sure to include a weekend or at least one weekend day when there,s more going on.
Report Abuse
The Hamptons Film Festival is usually in mid October. Your visit might coincide with that.
You could probably fill up 5 days, depending on how much exploring you want to do and how relaxed you want your visit to be, but the big attraction in the Hamptons, other than the restaurants, is the beach. If you have the kind of weather we've been having this year you could even go for a swim.
There are not that many museums that I'm aware of - there's the Jackson Pollack House in East Hampton and the lighthouse at Montauk, but there are plenty of art galleries in the various towns. I think Bridgehampton has a historical society but I don't know much about it. And there are plenty of shops.
Sag Harbor is a cute little fishing village in the area that would be nice for a visit.
Mid October should be nice for apple picking and pumpkin picking and there are several wineries in the area. Lots of beautiful homes and estates, if you like driving around and seeing that sort of thing.
Report Abuse
You will definitely want to visit the North fork for a couple of days. You should look into whale watching from Montauk. And do realize museums/libraries are limited - but there is a lot of quaint in several towns.
Report Abuse
Whale watching--my husband would love that.
Thank you all for the advice.
Report Abuse
Not sure how late in the year they have trips - do contact them. And bring lots of dramimine - this is the north atlantic.
Report Abuse
The Parish Art Museum moved last year to Water Mill from Southampton. http://parrishart.org/
Panecott makes a good point about the film festival which could make accommodation tougher/ more expensive.
Report Abuse
Is the film festival the same time every year? I couldn't find a website giving me next year's dates. Maybe the hotel people will know when I make a reservation. I'd like to avoid that timeframe.

About SKB:
Since 1977, professional and amateur musicians have counted on the SKB to protect their tools of the trade. In fact, SKB's polymer-molded cases are considered by many to be the standard by which all other cases are judged. With a simple glance at this section, you'll notice quickly that SKB constructs cases for a seemingly endless range of musical instruments and sound equipment. From acoustic guitars, keyboards and drums to banjos, mixers, drums, and even brass instruments, SKB has a stylish, durable case for them all.
So without further ado, let's take a look at some options. If you're a drummer, you know how important it is to maintain the quality of your cymbals, and the SKB-CV8 Roto-X Cymbal Vault will provide yours with more than enough protection. Roto-molded of linear low-density polyethylene with a welded center post, this vault features 4 cymbal pads and a storage pocket, and it also allows you to travel without pressure on the sound edge. Additionally, it's molded with the X pattern, so it stacks conveniently with other Roto-X cases.
Now, for guitar players, you owe it to yourself to check out the SKB-66 Deluxe Universal Electric Guitar Case. Boasting latches that are made of virtually indestructible fiberglass reinforced nylon, this case is built like a tank, and it's also very comfortable to carry. Not to mention, the SKB-66 also features molded in bumpers, and a "tongue & groove" valance to keep dust and moisture out. In other words, you'll have no problem keeping your axe looking and functioning its best when you store it in this beauty.
As every experienced musician knows, owning a case or gig bag for your instrument is a must, even if you never leave the house with it. Aside from protecting it from any impact with other objects, cases and gig bags will shelter your instrument away from dust and residue, and also safeguard it from any sudden weather changes. With all this in mind, you better believe you're definitely in the right place for a new case. SKB is trusted by hundreds of companies from around the world, and in industries as important as medical and military; so you can bet their cases are capable of handling your valuable instruments and pro audio equipment.

Product Description:
An emotionally unstable college freshman (Leighton Meester) grows obsessed with her unsuspecting roommate (Minka Kelly) in Danish director Christian E. Christiansen's English-language debut. Trouble begins after a frat party, when Kelly's Sara character comes back to her dorm room smashed, pausing to meet her roommate, Rebecca (Meester), for the first time just before she rushes out of the room to puke. Both being artistic types, Rebecca gloms onto Sara's artistic yearnings and they both bond over couture culture, yet Rebecca's antisocial behavior always seems to stand in the way of them being best buds. Soon it becomes apparent that Rebecca's territorial side is something to be freaked out by, as Sara's ex-boyfriend, her pervy teacher, and anyone else that do the young artist harm will attest.

First I gotta say: I absolutely love your blog and check for updates everyday. It's wonderful, so thank you so much for your sharing your talent. Second, I'd like to make a request, please!
