And that's no mistake, as microservices are really nothing more than a new and improved take on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) best practices we struggled to hammer out over the last decade.

10.12.04 - By Janne Romppainen: Unlike many perhaps expected beforehand, in the year 2004 the heavyweight division has given the fans plenty of interesting fights. Even though a lot is written about the regression of big men and there are some grounds for the argument too, during the last twelve months we have had good-paced and classy bouts to follow.. Corrie Sanders Vitaly Klitschko, Lamon Brewster Wladimir Klitschko, Andrew Golota Chris Byrd and Jameel McCline Chris Byrd all were action-packed, exciting fights from the top level. In addition to these better-than-expected fights (note that I didnt mention John Ruiz bouts) we have seen another upset too. In last spring there was probably nobody who would have thought that the last climax of the year would be fought between Ukrainian Vitaly Klitschko and British Danny Williams. That however is just the case as in the next Saturday these two mix it up in Las Vegas in a twelve-rounder that promises to be an interesting one.
Danny Williams, who for long was thought to be a never-was, might encourage plenty of fighters who are still looking for the big chance with his example. The 31-year-old Brit arrived the big picture in big style after travelling around the rings for nine years before that by blasting out Mike Tyson after four rounds of heated battle in last July. The big upset and terrific victory created Williams a chance to now fight for big money and the WBC title belt which is also recognized by most of boxing world.
Before knocking out Tyson Williams career was very ordinary. His talent has always been noted, but something has always been missing so that he hasnt been able to make a real breakthrough. Williams has captured 32 victories against only three losses and knocked out 27 of his opponents, but all his losses have happened at worst possible points whereas most of his wins are over British domestic level fighters. The first time Williams failed to win was in 1999 when he faced his countryman, veteran Julius Francis in a British title bout which Williams was favoured to win. Later on he got a revenge over Francis and also the title, but in 2003 when he battled for the European championship he, again as the clear favourite, suffered a heavy beating at the hands of Turkish Sinan Samil Sam. When he early this year lost also to Michael Sprott whom he had defeated twice before, very few thought he actually still had a chance to rise to the world class. The win over Tyson was for him like a fat chuck of gold for a miner who had worked for years: the conqueror of the ex-champion is now a hot product in the market of promoters.
Williams doesnt lack any physical talent. He is about 61 ½ tall and is heavily muscled at around 260lbs of weight. His hands are quick for a big man, he has tremendous strength in his body and also power behind his punches and his stamina seems to be good enough for long bouts too. Also Williams technique is good and orthodox: his jab is a heavy one and especially his combination punching is exemplary. In the Tyson fight his inside fighting techniques were impressive, he demonstrated that he can both give punches and guard himself from the incoming, earlier his defence has sometimes appeared leaky. Also Williams chin is still bit of a suspect, Samil Sam knocked him over rather easily, but trading shots with Tyson proves that Williams is not a glass chin although he was badly wobbled in the first round of that bout too.
One man who might have encouraged Williams new rise to the doorstep of stardom might be his opponent of Saturday, Vitaly Klitschko. Also the Ukrainian was just a couple of years ago seen as incapable of competing at the highest level, but with his determined work the sympathetic giant has cleared his road to the top. Staying as the king of the hill is a big task too however, and not all boxing fans are still convinced that Klitschko could defend his status for long.
Klitschko launched his pro career at the footsteps of his Olympic gold medallist little brother Wladimir in year 1996. He captured the European title in 1998 but gave the belt up quickly to move to bigger circles. In the following year he demolished the talented but paper-chinned British Herbie Hide, winning the WBO title from him. Hide is a familiar man for Williams too, Williams worked as his sparring partner for long, also before Hides loss against Klitschko. Klitschko then lost his belt to Chris Byrd because of an injury, and after that he again returned to Europe to hold the local championship for a moment before launching his new try to world level. His last and final breakthrough to the top begun in 2002 with a knockout over Larry Donald, who weeks ago defeated Evander Holyfield. In the year following Klitschko got to fight for the WBC championship against the universally recognized champion, ring legend Lennox Lewis after the first challenger Kirk Johnson was injured. Klitschko lost the bout after a good start because of a bad cut, but his brave performance won over the crowd. Still in the same year he easily took out Kirk Johnson and in last April he won the vacant WBC title by beating up Corrie Sanders, the KO conqueror of his brother.
The skills and capabilities of the 67 ½, 245lbs Klitschko are still very much debated. He has size and physical strength for sure but everything else seems to be debatable. Klitschkos ring record is, according to numbers, highly impressive: 34 wins with 33 knockouts against only two losses. Even so, all dont even consider him as a very big puncher. Klitschko usually doesnt take his opponents out with single bombs but breaks them down by landing often and heavily. He is fairly quick from his hands, but that is also because he doesnt put his whole body behind his punches but instead throws arm-punches. Klitschko has proven however that his chin is, if not granite, at least a very reliable one. In the ring he has taken the best punches of both Lewis and Sanders, two knockout-artists.
The big bone of contention with Klitschkos fighting is his boxing technique which has split the opinions of experts wide apart. Some see him as a clever child of nature who employs his strengths the best way with his unique but effective style, whereas the critiques demonstrate him simply as a technically poor fighter who is little else than an accident waiting to happen. Klitschko fights from an erect stance, hanging his left hand below his waist line. When his opponent attacks, he pulls straight back, breaking against all the technique books of boxing, taking clumsy-looking leaps and pulling his chin back in dangerous-looking manner. With his reach and slick reflexes Klitschko however has been able to avoid all the attacks without going down once in his career. Also with his long jab and the sharp right that follows after it he is able to control his opponents from outside and like that prevent them from attacking before they actually do come forwards. Klitschko is naturally a defensive-minded, thinking fighter who usually doesnt go in all-out attacks but who is able to jump hard on his opponent if he gets a good chance. He rarely throws hooks or uppercuts, but so far his simple one-twos have brought the results wanted. Thus it seems that Vitaly does only few things in the ring, but he does them well and it is difficult to argue with the results. The longer his path of victories goes on, the better his style naturally will be accepted by everyone.
What makes this fight so interesting is the unpredictability of the challenger Williams when the big moment is there on Saturday night. Now the whole Great Britain and probably large parts of America too have their eyes and hopes on him. Earlier Williams has failed under pressure and he has never been in an event like this, whereas against Tyson, where nobody expected lot from him, he was able to perform very well. On the other hand after knocking out Mike Tyson himself Williams confidence must be blooming, which often can be a deciding factor in boxing too. There is no certainty about what Williams ultimately is capable of, however. Against Tyson he looked like real world-class beater, but the strong but otherwise very mediocre Samil Sam walked right through him without breaking sweat. Thus too much cant be counted solely on the Tyson-performance.
On the other hand, even though Klitschko has proven himself on numerous occasions and captured fine victories, I just cant be sure about his success yet. Even though he is the favourite, I cant quiet down the suspicions in my head that someday somebody, maybe Williams, will find his open chin with a big punch and take the Ukrainian monster out.
Klitschko will likely look to control the bout in his usual manner, staying away behind his jab and looking to land his right. It is up to Williams to get close and let his heavy hooks go from the distance where Klitschko cant use his long arms effectively. In this situation Klitschko might also face a new kind of problem: usually he has been able to clinch his opponent when necessary and push them back with his mighty strength, but the muscled Williams might be a heavy rock to move for him too. If Williams can force Klitschko to the ropes and starts landing his hammers, then the challenger has a real chance of pulling out another upset in a row. However if he cant find his range, Klitschko will probably wear him down somewhere after the halfway point. Few expect to see a quick solution in either way, but between two big and powerful men that is not out of question either. Hopefully the fight continues the reel of fast-paced and exciting heavyweight contests of the year 2004.

Former assistant energy secretary, NRDC attorney and all-around green energy superman Dan Reicher has left his post as Google's director of climate change and green energy initiatives to join Stanford's new energy policy and finance center.
Reicher's departure has been framed in the context of Google's widely reported struggles to hold onto top employees as the company expands and loses its startup feel but his leavetaking doesn't fit this mold. He's always been more of a policy guy he was part of Obama's transition team and was rumored to be on the short list for energy secretary who seemed more interested in broader energy issues than even Google could accommodate.
That said, Reicher's accomplished a lot at Google in the past year. Continue reading Dan Reicher quits Google for Stanford policy shop. Is Washington next?

I think you're doing pretty well averaging over 36mpg with an automatic transmission Cruze and a green engine with <5k miles on it.
Sounds like that falls right in the range of MPG indicated on your window sticker.
Show me another non-diesel car that averages almost 37mpg that's as solid and quiet as the Cruze.
A short list.
Of course, if I was the sarcastic type, I'd point out that anyone in their right mind who was really interested in fuel economy and drove primarily highway would have picked the stick shift ECO.
Actually, I thought that the ECO was only offered in the manual transmission, so this model couldn't have been an ECO. It's a bit of advertising trickery where the 42 MPG gets you into the dealer, but then you want an automatic so you don't get the ECO. I admit that driving under 65 is painfully slow, but 36.6 isn't that bad for a car that weighs over 3100 pounds.

Melt his heart with one of these winter-inspired bridal gowns
Theia, Vera Wang

Chances are if you're planning a winter wedding, you enjoy the beauty of the season. Creating a seasonally inspired wedding is all about the details, and what detail is more important than your wedding gown! Choose a dress that relates to the crystallized ice and snow-covered trees by introducing Swarovski crystal, wrapping yourself in soft layers of silk, chiffon and lace, and end it with an equally brilliant shoe. Here, we gain inspiration from designers that range from couture to classic: Georges Chakra covers his bride in chiffon and hand appliqued white flowers; Elie Saab mixes crystals with petals and a hint of sheerness; and Lazaro creates a ball gown with a lace-inspired corseted top. Any of these bridal gowns are sure to make you sparkle on your snow-filled day.

The third and final presidential debate will focus on foreign policy, and we can be all but certain the issue of international family planning and the global gag rule will not come up. That's despite the fact that the outcome of this election will decide the fate of millions of women abroad.
Republican nominee Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan promised that, on their first day in the White House, they would reinstate the "global gag rule," a spiteful restriction used to deny federal money for family-planning work abroad to any organization that provides information, advice, referrals or services for legal abortion or supported the legalization of abortion, even if that organization used its own money to do so. The mere mention of abortion by any group that provides health care to the world's poorest and most vulnerable women would not only cost them federal money used to support those broad health care services, but technical support in the way of supplies of contraceptives.
The gag rule was imposed by the last three Republican presidents, beginning with Ronald Reagan in 1984. Both President Bill Clinton and President Barack Obama rescinded the rule once inaugurated.
Romney has also vowed to reinstate another anti-woman policy adored by conservatives. Romney promised to block the United States from contributing to the United Nations Population Fund. The fund supports programs in approximately 150 countries to improve poor women's reproductive health, reduce infant mortality, end sexual trafficking of women and girls and prevent the spread of HIV.
U.S. contribution to the fund has already decreased approximately $20 million to $35 million annually. Overall support of international family planning and reproductive health programs stands at $610 million, a mere drop in the bucket compared to the need of the world's most vulnerable. And as we've seen time and time again, investing in women's health and opportunity lifts up communities, especially in the developing world. Educating girls, providing women access to land ownership and giving these girls and women the ability to control their destinies is the way to peace and prosperity. Sadly, that's a vision that simply can't compete with the war-hungry defense industry.

for sure, they won't want to lose voters that way. nationalism is strong and the welfare of society is deemed the more important ones to talk about.
Danielle said it for me. Like all the social programs, it's what politicians attack because the arms manufacturers are to powerful to go up against. There's been a lot of graphics put out on the net showing how much of our tax monies goes to "defense". Mind blowing! But fear sells all kinds of things and one of them is a seat in the political arena.
Thanks for information !!
Thanks for the post. I don't understand why anyone would vote for Romney. He's basically neglecting help to half the world's population, women.
Foreign policy MUST include education and the lifting of the yolk of oppression on women WORLDWIDE! Half of the population of this entire planet is treated like shit on a boot, dirty and underfoot. ALL women of the world need to stand up and be counted. The backward men in this world would shit their pants. (Note, the BACKWARD men, not all men) Why do you think the Taliban shoots a 15 year old girl? THEY ARE AFRAID OF HER! Not unlike the KKK lynching black folks in the South in the past. What if black folks get education and power? We can't label them inferior and stupid and enslave them any more! Can't have that now can we?
Paul, humanitarian aid would be available both at home and abroad to the benefit of all INCLUDING the US if the US would quit spending billions daily on wars that only oppress the poorest of the poor and women even more.
Romney is actually correct on this although it is hypocritical of him to take that same money to attempt to bribe some overseas dictator to do what we want. Federal government has no right taking our money and spreading it around the world as they please. Where does "federal money" come from in the first place? As for the subject in this article, this should be left to private charities, not government. And anything that the UN is involved in is suspect. Leave it to Jessica to turn this into a promotion for her narrow groupthink mentality.

Dogs Enjoy Holiday Dinner at the Table [Video]
Nothing is better than having a nice dinner with your family, especially when your family is comprised of dogs (and a cat).
Nothing is better than having a nice dinner with your family, especially when your family is comprised of dogs (and a cat).
Not many things are cuter than what you're about to see!
This may be a very short video, not even reaching a minute, but it contains some of the most adorable content.
Within 41 short seconds, this adorable dog begs for someone to rub his belly. The man behind the camera tells the owner to rub the dog's belly and as soon as she does, the dog stops begging
This kid may not be over the age of 4, but he's definitely got a sense of rhythm!
If you have a soft spot for dogs, check out this time lapse video of a puppy growing up in 23 seconds.
This video of Baby Bat Burritos will make your day!
This could possibly be the cutest thing on the Internet.
Everything's better with kittens. At least that's what I've come to realize in the past few weeks. We've seen The Little Mermaid recreated by cats, The Lion King recreated by cats, Ghostbusters recreated by cats, and now - the kitchen scene from Jurassic Park with cats replacing the velociraptors. This is pure, cinematic genius.
Twins are confusing!

On This Page
When you use Microsoft ASP.NET to develop a Web application, a page may be moved from one directory to another directory. Or, you may map a URL to a page that does not exist. When you try to access this page in a Web browser, you receive an error message that states that the page does not exist.
This article describes how to avoid this problem by using the URL Rewriting Engine to perform dynamic URL rewriting, dynamic URL mapping, and dynamic URL routing.
The URL Rewriting Engine is a sample project that you can download from the Microsoft Download Center. Generally, URL rewriting and URL mapping are used to map a virtual page to a real page. But where URL rewriting is used to map multiple pages according to one rule, URL mapping is used to map a single page.
By using URL routing, the URL is not changed when an incoming request is handled, because URL routing can extract values from the URL. When you want to create a URL, you can pass parameter values to a method that generates the URL for you.
Usage examples
URL rewritingTo perform URL rewriting, follow these steps:
URL Rewriting in ASP.NET
URL mappingYou can use the <urlMappings> tag in the Web.config file to set up URL mapping.
This method is shown in the following code example:
