I really liked those bags. The black one especially!!Linda
...We recently hosted a Commerce Server Air Lift and there were may questions around using Commerce Server as an application server. In this post I will address some areas of concern, and risk associated with this approach. I am not saying it can't be done. You just need to be aware of issues around each Commerce Server Systems. What is an Application Server? A "middle-tier" software and hardware combination that lies between the Web server and the other networks and systems. What is SOA? You can do a quick search on www.live.com to learn more about Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), but the short and simple answer is, SOA is a loosely coupled software service. Commerce Server 2007 implements SOA to facilitate seamless integration into Web services-enabled environments. Ways to Access Commerce Server Here are the ways commerce server can be accessed. Note: Not all Commerce API are serialized, and only the Runtime API was tested for performance. Runtime API The runtime APIs are meant to be used under the ASP.NET context, such as an aspx or an asmx. You can find more info at Programming with the Runti...
SOA Solutions are most often hybrid solutions. Yes, they focus on a set of services; but they often do not soley rely on services for the realization of the functionality that needs to be in place for the business.
SOA solutions tend to rely on a combination of architectural styles and implementation and realization constructs to craft the underpinnings of an SOA solution. The SOMA method utilizes a combination of approaches to Service Identification. This includes 6 perspectives: top-down business process driven, business policy and rule-driven approaches, bottom up legacy integration, bottom-up legacy transformation (intrusive changes to rip out legacy modules and expose them via access points), information as a service typically used to consolidate multiple backend data stores and resolve inconsistencies in the access, rules and synchronization of the data stores and lastly the message-driven approach which seeks to integrate systems using a service interface.
Among the approaches above, although some are more established than others, information as a service affords a unique perspective in solving challenges relating to information. For example, data access interfaces and their underlying data access logic might need to be externalized judiciously ...
[b]S[/b]ervice. Refers to how we use a service interface as a contract to decouple or loosely-couple a service provider from their prospective service consumers. Providers publish services, prefereably and increasingly in registries or service repositories (where they can be better governed). Consumers are looking for capabilities / functionality along with a set of non-functional requirements or service level agreements (SLA) that they want to be able to declaratively specify.
Services allow a business to expose its main operations to a well defined set of partners, clients and world at large, without giving direct access to its underlying IT systems, butthrough the surrogate of a web service.
The structure of an SOA, introduces services at an architectural level (a layer dedicated to services in the architecture).
In object-oriented programming we tried to separate interfaces from implementation. IN SOA, we have carried that programming practice up to the architectural level and now have a layer dedicated to enforce that programming best-practice at a design level.

Fold Page List, the plugin for handling page navigation within Wordpress has been updated to remain fully compatible with version 2.1 of the popular blogging platform. The update to version 1.74 resolves issues with some plugin functionality being disabled following changes to the Wordpress database structures.
...gah haaa. laura, i KNOW you registered on blogger JUST so you could leave that comment. come on -- if it came to the knee?? cute, no? no?
...uhhh, the sierra trading post frock= no way... it reminds me of something our suitemate alison will be wearing in 5 or so years while registering her 5 or so kids for jesus camp.
...Strangely enough, I kind of like that military jacket. I will stay far away tho, as I don't want to be mistaken for an overwrought fan of My Chemical Romance.
...yes to the bag, yes to the boots xx
...This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005. Steve really has some good insights on creativity and life as it relates to the heart and soul of design. I hope you enjoy. I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; d...
Like it or not, design has class. And no, I don’t mean it's classy as in elegant or fashionable, although design is a very trendy business world accessory of late. And I don't mean design has class as in groups that share the same common attributes. I mean design has class as in an artificial social hierarchy--much of it self inflicted. This more subtle definition of class creates a division where one group is perceived as "better" or "higher" or "more refined" than the other. This trend is nothing new. Art, architecture, literature, culture, music, etc. all have created similar class systems. And we as designers are somewhat guilty for creating artificial divisions in design. Let me explain.I recently listened to an online video given by Malcom Gladwell, well known author of the Tipping Point and Blink. He tells the story of how in the early '70's Grey Poupon Dijon mustard broke into a field dominated by two plain yellow mustards. How? First, they created a different type of mustard that was spicy and brown. Then through design and advertising they created an artificial mustard social class, where plain yellow mustards should be perceived as "common" and Grey Poupon as "upper clas...
After way too long the Fold Category List plugin for Wordpress finally comes out of beta with a feature upgrade that takes it to version 1.0. The upgrade addresses the presentation of empty categories and post counts within a folded category list, extending the use of existing standard arguments to achieve this.
