06/02/2008The emergence of service-oriented architecture (SOA) as an approach for integrating applications that expose services presents many new challenges to organizations resulting in significant risks to their business. Particularly important among those risks are failures to effectively address quality attribute requirements such as performance, availability, security, and modifiability. Because the risk and impact of SOA are distributed and pervasive across applications, it is critical to perform an architecture evaluation early in the software life cycle. This report contains technical information about SOA design considerations and tradeoffs that can help the architecture evaluator to identify and mitigate risks in a timely and effective manner. The report provides an overview of SOA, outlines key architecture approaches and their effect on quality attributes, establishes an organized collection of design-related questions that an architecture evaluator may use to analyze the ability of the architecture to meet quality requirements, and provides a brief sample evaluation.

Giveaway: Nokia Lumia 920
0. phoneArena posted on 26 Dec 2012, 14:52
Whaaat's up folks, are you ready for another awesome RadioShack + PhoneArena giveaway? Well, you better be, as we have a brand new and very, very shiny Nokia Lumia 920 for AT&T here for one of you. But that is not all, as we'll pair the Lumia 920 to the classy AUVIO Bluetooth headphones. Now that's what we call a real giveaway here at PhoneArena...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

PureView!! Beautiful pictures and of course the optical image stabilization will be great for an amateur photographer and screenplay writer like me!
268. tkvdog posted on 24 Dec 2012, 13:42 0 0
I'm so far just a little over 1 month into the use of my Nokia Lumia 920 and I must say, I LOVE IT TO DEATH. I'm still unable to get over the captivating appearance the phone has upon first glance. (Especially the cyan color which I happen to own...) Its color seems deep, rich and vivid. They will also remain intact if the phone gets scuffed, unlike other popular phones...ahem**iphone**ahem...Furthermore the silky smoothness of the screen is one that I have never really experienced on another phone. It literally feels soft to touch and its extremely sensitive. Truly amazing.
The ergonomics of the phone, coupled with the striking colors and substantial heft of the device truly gives it that "premium" feel. This is a phone that one has to personally handle to truly get what i'm talking about.
Moving on to the fantastic UI experience that is Windows 8. As someone coming from Windows 7.5 I will admit that while the overally Windows 8 experience is generally positive, it is definitely more buggy than Windows 7.5 was. And some of my favorite games (like Dodononpachi) STILL DONT WORK DESPITE US BEING PROMISED BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY FROM THE START! As you can tell, some of the glaring bugs in Windows Phone 8 are annoying, but the plethora of positives can't be ignored! I mean, literally everything about the phone is better. From the high resolution, to the speed of the OS, to the mulitasking capabilities, to the resizable tiles, to xbox music, literally everything works better, faster, and smoother than its predecessor...when it works. Granted there are a few more hiccups and OS resets on this new Windows Phone 8 Os, but with subsequent updates i'm sure this will be rectified....like its predecessor was.
All in all, my Lumia has been about 98% positive and 2% negative, easily the highest satisfaction I've ever had with a phone. We all know that literally NO phone is perfect. And while it is unfortunate that there are some unlucky souls whose own lumia 920 experiences haven't been so favorable, to them I say "You're holding it wrong." No seriously, its unfortunate but i'm sure they must be in the minority. Hopefully Nokia is working hard to enable people replace their phones quickly, enabling people to experience the 920 in all its glory.
All In all, what you deem important in a device is what makes a phone perfect. For me this phone has everything I need, from its an easy to use and intuitive OS, to its amazing camera, awesome ergonomics, to its amazing screen, and great battery life too boot! This Nokia Lumia 920 does all those aforementioned things demonstrably well, and I truly cant say the same for its competitors! All in all, I'm literally in love with my phone and will likely rock this sucker till its wheels fall off.....(or whenever Nokia announces its successor...)

285. DontHateOnS60 posted on 24 Dec 2012, 14:32 0 0
Tough one... I would've said the camera 2 months ago before we actually saw samples from various lighting environments. Finally getting Drive integrated with Maps is also up there too.
I'm going to have to say the custom EQ is my favorite feature. I'm a sound snob and there is no Power Amp for WP and never will be. So for me to finally have the ability to fine tune the sound puts a big smile on my face, even if its only 5 bands.

There's no question or doubt in my mind that the best feature of the Lumia 920 is the build quality. It's beautiful, in fact stunning, and it still remains the best looking phone on the market. Add that to the speed, windows platform, and camera, and you have one of the top phones of the year.

294. aron7 posted on 24 Dec 2012, 14:53 0 0
For me it's between the design and the camera. The design because it's unlike anything else currently on the market (other Lumias notwithstanding), and the camera because it's amazing.

text: Bolaji:Thank you for your question. Reverse logistics is so much more than the name suggests. It can be nearly any activity that occurs in the end market – or after the point-of-sale. In the automotive market, for example, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) deal with warranty issues, such as parts recalls or pulling back the precious metals in catalytic converters. Ensuring the product is returned to the correct location using the most efficient transportation mode is important – whether it's a radio, transmission or any warranty part. Further to the retail side of the industry, eBay states that a part or accessory is sold online every one second and an engine or component sells every 25 seconds. With the ongoing growth of online sales, returns is one component of reverse logistics that continues to play an increasingly important role in customer satisfaction and repeat sales. Regards,Jim

The baby calves are hitting the ground, maybe even as I type this.
I love this time of year.
Mama cows are starting to bring their babies up when I feed, and yesterday I took advantage of it. I toted my camera all over tarnation just to get a few pics.
You see this is what happens, Mama goes into the lot to eat with all the other Mama cows and the babies are kind of just left to themselves. And they are so fun to watch.
Most of the time this is how it plays out.
Everybody, meet Baby #2. Baby #2, meet everybody. There, now that the introductions are out of the way I will show you what happens every day.
She nonchalantly moseys into the lot looking for her mama.
Hmmm, she knows she's in here somewhere. She says, "I'll just look over here."
"Maybe she's over here," she says.
Then it starts.
Here comes Baby #54. I'd introduce you, but he's kind of showing his butt. Get it? Oh nevermind!
"Hey Baby #2! Have you seen my mama?"
"What about you? Have you seen my mama?"
"Hey, don't you talk about my mama's udders like that!!"
Sometimes I have to just drive away.

If you could do it nonstop, it would take you six days to walk from Henry David Thoreau's Walden Pond to President Barack Obama's White House. For the Sierra Club, that journey has taken much longer. For 120 years, we have remained committed to using every "lawful means" to achieve our objectives. Now, for the first time in our history, we are prepared to go further.
Next month, the Sierra Club will officially participate in an act of peaceful civil resistance. We'll be following in the hallowed footsteps of Thoreau, who first articulated the principles of civil disobedience 44 years before John Muir founded the Sierra Club.
Some of you might wonder what took us so long. Others might wonder whether John Muir is sitting up in his grave. In fact, John Muir had both a deep appreciation for Thoreau and a powerful sense of right and wrong. And it's the issue of right versus wrong that has brought the Sierra Club to this unprecedented decision.
For civil disobedience to be justified, something must be so wrong that it compels the strongest defensible protest. Such a protest, if rendered thoughtfully and peacefully, is in fact a profound act of patriotism. For Thoreau, the wrongs were slavery and the invasion of Mexico. For Martin Luther King, Jr., it was the brutal, institutionalized racism of the Jim Crow South. For us, it is the possibility that the United States might surrender any hope of stabilizing our planet's climate.

The occurrence of symptoms in pollen allergy patients in urban areas may be affected by local environmental factors such as sources of pollution, natural and ornamental vegetation, local architecture impeding dispersion, etc. The aim of this study was to analyse the frequency of sensitization in pollen allergy patients and the relationship with antihistamine sales. For this study, a large number of clinical records, together with pharmaceutical and pollen data, were collected between 1999 and 2001 in the city of Córdoba, in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. Differences were observed in the symptoms suffered by pollen allergy patients in different areas of the city due to varying local emission of both biological and non-biological particles. Temporal distribution of symptoms over the three study years was influenced by meteorological factors, especially rainfall patterns; higher water supply to plants was associated with increased airborne pollen concentrations. Air pollution might be one of the main factors affecting the distribution of pollen allergy patients within the city. Recent years have seen a worsening of symptoms and increased sensitization to urban species such as plane-trees.

The thing that I have seen since running this site is that the out of sight out of mind concept is true. The missing are always forgotten after a period of time by most people because I guess people take the assumption it's a lost cause if they haven't been found quickly. This is far from the truth. In every cold case someone either knows something or suspects something about the case. If the media does not keep these cases in the public spotlight they fade away and anyone who knows something may think well it's been forgotten now so I'm not speaking.
A loud and clear message must be continually sent out to the public that we will not stop putting their face up for the world to see that they were a human being and that they are loved and missed. Let it eat at their very soul so that it torments them by not stepping up and helping these families have closure. Delmarva Crime Survivors Network which has it's own facebook page here is a great place for families to come together to discuss what they have went through because of senseless crimes and for the community to support their efforts by liking their facebook page to get updates of missing people.
Please let us work together and help Police solve these cold cases and bring closure to the family. I will not stop bringing the cold cases back to the top of this site no matter how much some people complain because quite honestly if you have no heart to look at the stories of people who have lost their lives needlessly then do me a favor and don't come back to this site.

Depending on the Spirit

Some time ago I read an article (which, alas, I can no longer find) that described a time that a crew from the BBC went in search of the Loch Ness Monster. I thought of this yesterday while watching the movie The Water Horse with the kids. The corporation hired a team of experts to sweep Loch Ness from end to end, back and forth for several days using some of the world's most sophisticated sonar equipment. After a complete, thorough search they concluded that there is no evidence to indicate that a monster lives in the Loch. I doubt any of them were surprised.
Being thorough folks, the crew decided to push a little further and to try to describe how it is that the myth of the Loch Ness Monster persists despite a complete lack of hard evidence to support her (his?) existence. To do this, they performed a devious little experiment. They rigged up a system which allowed them to raise an object from under the water far out into the Loch. They would then interview the inevitable crowd of tourists standing by the shore to ask them what they had seen. They elected to use a section of fencing as the decoy, deliberately choosing an object that looks absolutely nothing like an ancient aquatic creature. They waited until a busload of tourists had arrived on the shores of the Loch; once the bus was unloaded they raised the fence a few feet out of the water. There was great excitement on the shore and sure enough, when they interviewed people after the fact, the majority of them described seeing something that looked just like the traditional depiction of the Loch Ness Monster—long neck, rounded head, and so on.
The people who led this study concluded that this was a type of pareidolia. According to the Skeptics Dictionary, pareidolia is "a type of illusion or misperception involving a vague or obscure stimulus being perceived as something clear and distinct." Other examples of this phenomenon are the stuff of the "weird news" pages—seeing the face of Mother Teresa in a cinnamon bun, the face of a man on the moon or the shape of an animal in the clouds. In the case of the people gathered at Loch Ness, they saw something vague and yet were able to describe it in detail. The detail was fabricated by their minds based on what they already imagined the Loch Ness Monster to look like. They were fooled by their own minds which superimposed what they wanted to see over what they truly did see.
Certainly the people who saw a section of fence being raised from the water did not expect to see a fence—they expected to see a monster. Many of them had traveled from across the country or across the world for the very purpose of visiting Loch Ness. Everybody who stands on the shores of the Loch hopes to catch a glimpse of Nessie, even if most are skeptical about her existence. So when this object came up from the water their minds allowed them to see what they wanted to see. Had they been expecting to see a school bus emerging from the water I have little doubt that their minds would have allowed them to believe that is what rose from the depths.
What we see in this rather extreme example is the value of objectivity. Had the people visiting Loch Ness been objective they would have seen nothing but a section of wet fencing material. They would have seen the reality in all its simplicity. They would have guarded against allowing their minds to play tricks on them.
This story, silly though it may be, made me ask myself how often I approach the Bible with the wrong attitude. How often do I approach it with my own agenda in mind? Homosexuals approach the Bible determined to find proof that their lifestyle is not only acceptable but condoned by Scripture. So when they read that John was the apostle that Jesus loved, they see support for their lifestyle. When they read about the deep love between Jonathan and David they project their own homosexuality on these men and allow this to give license to their own immorality. Often people on both sides of various debates misuse Scripture in this way. When it comes to the issue of women in positions of leadership within the local church, proponents of both sides have been known to eschew objectivity, approaching the Scriptures determined to prove their point. When we approach the Bible determined to prove what we already believe we will more often than not find enough proof to satisfy ourselves, even if we are taking passages far beyond their real meaning. We'll see that section of fencing and know that it's Nessie.
The lesson to me is that I need to approach the Bible humbly, as objectively as I can, always asking God to reveal His truth to me through His Word. I need to lay aside my presuppositions and biases so, if necessary, I can allow God to change and shape and mold me. I have to be utterly dependent on Him. I need to allow the Spirit to show me what a given passage really means, not merely force it into saying what I want it to say. Yes, the story of Elijah and the "still small voice" has much to teach me, but I cannot use it as proof that God will speak to me in silent prayer. Sure, God has a place for visionaries in the church, but I can't use Proverbs 29:18 to prove this. And yes, Jesus Christ is present where two or more are gathered in His name, but I have no right to tear this from its context and its grounding in the local assembly. There are so many ways in which Christians push their own agenda on Scripture.
John Calvin once warned against treating the Bible like a ball that we bounce around at will. The Bible is the very Word of God and its teachings can only be rightly learned by impartial and objective study of the text. And that means being impartial and objective even about the parts we may not like, for often God's ways are at odds with our far-too-human agendas. We rely on the Spirit not just to teach us the meaning of Scripture, but to protect us from our own arrogance and our own inability to interpret it wisely and properly. We have no right and no ability to approach Scripture without expressing our dependence on Him.

Excellent article Tim,
I wonder if this doesn't also directly apply to the Lakeland stuff and similar events.
I wonder if this doesn't also directly apply to the Lakeland stuff and similar events.
Yeah, I think that's actually a fair application. Many people went their expecting to find something and, lo and behold, they found it…
Good words and thoughts. It's impossible for us to not be bias this side of glory.
I find as a reformed believer, when I study the Scriptures with non-reformed believers it helps us both to be more objective.
A great resource that deals with this is, "Never Read a Bible Verse", a little booklet by Greg Koukl at str.org. Using Scripture out of context is a major problem in the church. It is done by people who have been sitting for years in churches that have a high view of the Bible but fail to effectively correct people when they do this.
Along the same line as what Donsands wrote, I'm not sure to what degree any of us can claim objectivity. People approach the same text with the same humility and desire for objectivity and still come away with a different understanding. Both sides subjectively think they are right and that the other has missed the point.
I think for many years I treated the Bible like my own personal self help book. I thought I knew what the authors were writing about and that I was really identifying with them. If I had a topic in my life that needed covering I would bend and twist things to fit my needs. However, it wasn't until I experienced true loss and persecution that I got it. These men were serious and this whole thing is serious business. They wrote about the most important things and these things offered life eternal. They were not concerned about our precious little topics. They were concerned with the hearts and condition of man and his need to be drawn in by the Lord. I liked this post a lot Tim.
Excellent thoughts. It speaks to my heart very strongly!! It is hard to come to scripture with an objective mind set, and is something to be shared with my own friends and brothers and sisters!! Thanks for pointing this out, Tim!
A sad (and wrong) generalization: Homosexuals approach the Bible determined to find proof that their lifestyle is not only acceptable but condoned by Scripture. . .
Agreed. I deal with the hyper-spiritual experience junkies alot who aren't grounded in truth—my only experience with cessationists (I assume that's who you are talking about) is on blogs like these.
But, I think the Christ-centered cessationist (like John MacArthur) is in a far less dangerous position than those who elevate personal experience above Scripture.

It is a wrong generalization because in the somewhat large group of gay people that I know, I immediately see three responses to Scripture, not just one. If I look a little bit deeper, I could probably find more than these three responses that gay people might have regarding Scripture: they totally dismiss it, and don't care to change it whatsoever; they assume that the popular view of Scripture is heterosexually biased, and so they question that view (a lot of which doesn't ring true from their perspective); and there are those that are willing to live a celibate life because they agree that the Bible prohibits those actions.
It is a sad generalization because it demonizes homosexuals as people rewriting Scripture. The warning against bias (homosexual and otherwise) is appropriate, but painting all homosexuals as evil heretics is unwarranted. There are those that legitimately struggle with their perspective and Scripture and don't need that kind of careless accusation. An addition of one little word would have helped a lot:
Homosexuals may approach the Bible determined to find proof that their lifestyle is not only acceptable but condoned by Scripture. . .
Nathan,I suppose that I have to agree with you, in part. It was a 'generalization'. Yet the generalization isn't in and of itself, wrong. Indeed, you could add it as a fourth to your three possible responses. Of all the responses you gave, the final one is probably the most biblical one that could be hoped for. While I would hesitate to say that it demonizes homosexuals, it is as true a statement as all the ones you listed. Even among these, they are all generalizations, and still does not account for every intent that a homosexual might bring to acripture. Or a hetrosexual for that matter. The adulterer, or fornicator, could be placed in just as bad a light, and no more or less sinful than anyone else listed. I believe the point was that, ALL of us tend to approach scripture with an adgenda; attempting to prove our own beliefs to ourselves. But, as with those mentioned, there are some who do it more blatantly than others. A self-professed adulterer, homosexual, witch, or anyone claiming a title to which scripture openly claims as sinful, with the intent to find justification in those same scriptures; is hard not to be noticed, or noted.
Ok, I get it. I agree with you that those who practice homosexuality are pinpointed as the number one enemy of "Christendom". I mentioned wanting my future wife and I to live in a homosexual community to reach out and many of my most passionately Christian friends responded out of character. I do believe that they are targeted while the promiscuous heterosexual gets a slap on the wrist and coddled because he has a "lust issue." Good observation Nathan. I do think you are a bit sensitive to semantics, but I understand why.
1 Cor. 2:2,Clint
It is rather ironic that you quote the Skeptics Dictionary on pareidolia in this post, since that is a concept used against the Bible and Christianity: A skeptic will say that a dead man coming back to life would require definitive evidence, and the first-hand witness of people is inadequate because of pareidolia. Voila, Jesus never arose, Christianity is false, and Christians are "of all people most to be pitied," 1 Cor. 15.
Given the experiment with Loch Ness, is this argument plausible?
