Exclusive: President Obama and the State Department's "anti-diplomats" are fanning flames of anger against Russia after the shoot-down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine. But some U.S. intelligence analysts doubt the popular "blame-the-Russians" scenario, reports Robert Parry.
Facts Needed on Malaysian Plane Shoot-Down
Exclusive: As usual, the mainstream U.S. media is rushing to judgment over the crash of a Malaysian airliner in war-torn eastern Ukraine, but the history of U.S. government's deceptions might be reason to pause and let a careful investigation uncover the facts, says ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
Obama's Failure to Rein in CIA and NSA
Despite Barack Obama's promises during the 2008 campaign to reform the U.S. intelligence community, he has continued to tolerate its abuses, enable its excessive secrecy and indulge its bone-headedness, as ex-CIA analyst Melvin A. Goodman explains.
Hyping the Iranian 'Breakout' Threat
A danger from propaganda is that its disseminators can come to believe their own exaggerations and thus damage their own interests, a situation that now exists with U.S. hardliners seeking to sabotage an Iran nuclear deal that would make everyone safer, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar notes.
An All-Seeing, All-Knowing Being
A decade ago, exposure of President George W. Bush's Total Information Awareness scheme brought assurances that it had been shelved, but its Orwellian intent was only shifted to the NSA and it now gives the U.S. government nearly god-like powers, says Norman Solomon.
NYT Protects the Fogh Machine
Exclusive: In crises ranging from the Iraq War to civil conflicts in Syria and Ukraine, the New York Times has steadily transformed itself into a propaganda organ, promoting false U.S. government narratives rather than providing objective information to its readers, as Robert Parry observes again.
Does Cell-Phone Case Imperil NSA Spying?
Though the Republican-controlled U.S. Supreme Court often splits 5-4 on partisan and ideological issues, a consensus is emerging against the government's electronic intrusion on personal privacy, which could portend trouble for NSA spying, says Marjorie Cohn.
Obama's Half-Billion to Syria's 'Moderates'
President Obama's plan to spend another half-billion dollars on Syria's "moderate" rebels will add more fuel to the destructive violence just as the killing was finally dying down. It's also hard to see how this investment will promote serious negotiations, notes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
The Wisdom of Lawrence of Arabia
A century ago, during World War I, a British intelligence officer known as "Lawrence of Arabia" deeply understood the Mideast and saw hope for rational politics, but Western imperial ambitions intervened to ensure regional instability, as Bill Moyers and Michael Winship recall.
Misreading Benghazi and Terrorism
The Republican case of a Benghazi terror "cover-up" never made much sense because President Obama immediately called it an "act of terror." But now other parts of the GOP's contorted narrative are collapsing as well, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar observes.

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/290,912, filed Nov. 30, 2005, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/631,953 filed Nov. 30, 2004, and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates generally to material cutters, and more particularly, to a material cutter with a selectable cutting profile. The material cutter may, for example, be adapted for use with a label printer to apply a selected cutting profile to a series of labels exiting the printer.
Printing machines, or printers, are often used to produce labels bearing legends, graphics, text, such as instructions or warnings, etc. A variety of printers may be used for this application, ranging for example from large industrial printers, to commonplace desktop printers, such as laser, thermal transfer, inkjet or dot matrix printers, to portable or hand-held printers, such as a hand-held thermal transfer label printer. Printers may print information on a variety of different materials, e.g., label rolls, label sheets, photographic paper, etc. For many labeling applications, printers print labels on continuous label media or a series of individual labels carried on a continuous liner or carrier. For example, the label media may be a roll of pressure sensitive tape that is attached by an adhesive to a liner. The printer may then print a series of legends along the tape, and the individual labels are formed by cutting through the tape and liner between each pair of legends to separate each individual label from the roll. The liner would then typically be removed so that the label can be applied to its desired location.
In many instances, where a series of labels are printed, a logical relationship exists among the labels. For example, the printer may produce all of the labels required to sequentially label the wires in an electrical cabinet. In this type of application, the user may struggle to keep individual labels organized so that the labeling task can be completed accurately and efficiently, particularly as the complexity of the labeling task increases. On the other hand, if the label media is not cut into individual labels, the user will need to manually and precisely cut each individual label from the label media, adding time and potentially introducing errors. Thus, an improved material cutter is needed.
An improved material cutter is disclosed for cutting media, such as label media. According to an exemplary embodiment, the material cutter is incorporated into a hand-held printing apparatus. In the exemplary embodiment, the material cutter may be used to cut printed label media. The material cutter includes an apparatus for selecting between two cutting profiles: full cut mode and partial cut mode. In full cut mode, the material cutter cuts completely through the media. In partial cut mode, however, the material cutter only cuts partially through the media�thus, leaving an attachment point that can be separated at a later time.
In the embodiment, the material cutter includes a cutter button that fits within a cutter frame. The cutter button includes a moving blade and a profile selector. When a driving force is applied to the cutter button, the moving blade is forced across a stationary blade of the cutter frame. As the moving blade slides past the stationary blade, any media resting between is cut. The driving force on the cutter button is preferably a manual force applied by a user.
The profile selector may include a manually rotatable selector knob attached to an asymmetric retainer plate that is configured to rotate with the selector knob. When the retainer plate is in partial cut mode, two bosses restrict the movement of the cutter button and thus the moving blade. When the retainer plate is in full-cut mode, the cutter button is free to force the moving blade fully past the stationary blade. In operation, a post/slot configuration restricts the turn span of the knob and a series of nub-holes provide stop points for the knob. Two such stop points may correspond to the full cut mode and partial cut mode.
The summary describes a limited overview of an embodiment of the present invention. These and other aspects and advantages will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art by reading the following detailed description, with reference where appropriate to the accompanying drawings. Further, it should be understood that the foregoing summary is merely exemplary and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention as claimed.
In accordance with one embodiment, a material cutter is provided having at least two cutting profiles that may be selected by a user. A first cutting profile produces a partial cut, while a second cutting profile produces a full cut. During operation in partial cut mode, the material cutter cuts through a first portion of a label material or liner material, but leaves a second portion of the material uncut. In a preferred embodiment, the partial cut mode allows a series of printed labels to remain linked after being printed and partially cut. Individual labels may be readily separated from the series at a later time without damaging the labels. In full cut mode, the material cutter cuts completely though the label material (or liner material) to produce individual labels.
The material cutter may be incorporated into a variety of printers. In the preferred embodiment, the material cutter is incorporated into a hand-held thermal transfer printer. In this embodiment, the material cutter has a selectable cutting profile and cuts the label material or the liner material after the material has passed the thermal transfer print head. For instance, the material cutter may cut the material as the material exits a printer housing.
The material cutter 100 includes a cutter button 112 and a cutter frame 114. The cutter button 112 has a recess 116 with an aperture 614 for receiving the axial projection 106 of the selector knob 104. The recess 116 includes a curved slot 134 for defining a maximum rotation pattern for the knob 104. The recess 116 also includes a pair of nub-holes (not shown) that provide stop points during rotation of the knob 104. In the preferred embodiment, the two stop points are associated with the partial cut mode and the full cut mode.
The slot 134 and nub-holes of the recess 116 are configured to accept a post and nub of the knob 104.
Rotation of the knob 104 is limited by a post 212 that fits in the slot 134. The post 212 protrudes from the first surface 216 and may be substantially cylindrical or may be formed in another shape. A handle 214 is configured for a user to manually rotate the knob 104. Preferably, the handle 214 allows a user to rotate the knob 104 using two or three fingers. However, in other embodiments, a tool or motor may be used for the rotation.
During knob 104 rotation, the post 212 may travel within the slot 134 until it reaches an end of the slot 134. Upon reaching the end of the slot 134, the selector knob 104 is restricted from being rotated any further in the direction of travel. Thus, a user may rotate the knob 104 only within the constraints set by the slot 134. A nub 210 protrudes from the first surface 216 and may have a curved or semi-circular form. The nub 210 is configured to fit in the nub-holes of the recess 116. The nub/nub-hole combination serves to hold the knob 104 in its various positions, such as the partial cut and full cut positions. Each nub-hole may therefore define a distinct selection setting for the cutting profile selector 102. Other or additional selections may be used. For instance, various degrees of partial cut may be provided through intermediate nub-holes.
In the preferred embodiment, the nub 210 and post 212 along with the entire knob 104 are constructed of a plastic. However, other materials are available. For instance, the nub 210 and/or post 212 may be constructed of a metal. Further, the nub 210 may be a ball bearing partially embedded in the first surface 216.
The spring 110 is disposed about the axial projection 106, between the retainer plate 108 and a back-side of the recess 116. The spring 110 is in a compressed state and thus, applies a force against both the retainer plate 108 and the back-side of the recess 116. This force is mechanically transferred at the attachment point 208 to the axial projection 106 and the knob 104. The transferred force, in turn, biases the first surface 216 of the knob 104 against a front-side of the recess 116. The force applied by the spring 110 further helps ensure that the post 212 remains constrained by the slot 134 and that the nub 210 is secured within the nub-holes.
Returning now to
A pair of button springs 128 bias the cutter button 112 away from the cutter frame 114. The cutter frame 114 includes a pair of projections 130 or bosses, and a stationary blade 132. As suggested above, the stationary blade 132 may be formed from any appropriate material, such as a tool steel.
The operation of the material cutter 100 shown in
With the cutting profile selector 102 in the partial cut position, the bosses 130 of the cutter frame 114 eventually interfere with the linear motion of the asymmetric retainer plate 108 as the cutter button 112 slides within the cutter frame 114, preventing the cutting edge 124 of the moving blade 120 from entirely passing the stationary blade 132. In particular, as shown in
The height of the uncut portion of the material is determined, in accordance with a preferred embodiment, by the dimensions of the notch 126 in the moving blade 120. It is not necessary, however, that the moving blade 120 include the notch 126. To the contrary, various cutting profiles may be implemented using a moving blade 120 without a notch. Nonetheless, the notch 126 provides advantages such as allowing more tolerance for the location of the bosses 130, for instance. In
In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the material cutter 100 is a manual cutter. In other words, a user selects the cutting profile by manually rotating the selector knob 104 and separately causes the cutter button 112 to slide in the cutter frame 114 by applying a driving force to the cutter button 112. Of course, either or both of these functions may be automated. For example, the cutting profile may be automatically selected as a parameter for a particular print job. In other words, one type of cutting profile, for example partial cut profile, may be automatically applied to certain types of print jobs. A controller may, for instance, determine the cut profile based on the size of the job or the logical relationship among the printed material. One such logical relationship may relate to sequentially labeling the wires in an electrical cabinet. Another type of cutting profile, for example, a full cut profile, may be automatically applied to other types of print jobs. The controller may further automatically control the driving force applied on the cutter button 112. For instance, the cutter button 112 may be automatically driven through the cutter frame 114 using timing information for the drive being supplied by the controller, a microprocessor or similar device. Those skilled in the art would be readily capable of devising a number of suitable alternative drive mechanisms for this purpose.
The cutting profile selector 102 may take alternative forms, including other mechanical or electro-mechanical forms, such as a switch. For example, where the material cutter 100 is incorporated into a label printer, a switch, whose position is electronically monitored by a processor or controller, may be used to indicate a user's selected cutting profile. As a further example, the printer may include a display and/or a keyboard, and the user may depress one or more keys to select a cutting profile or the display may provide instructions to the user on the selection of a cutting profile. Of course, in these alternative embodiments, the material cutter 100 would be modified to adjust to the appropriate cutting profile in response to the user input. For example, instead of providing the retainer plate 108 attached to the selector knob 104, the retainer plate 108 may be rotatably mounted to a different structural member, with the position of the retainer plate 108 depending on the user input. Other mechanisms, with or without the retainer plate 108, may alternatively be used.
According to the embodiment, the slot 134 is formed as an arc spanning approximately 90 degrees from end-to-end. In other embodiments, the slot 134 may span a larger or smaller angle, depending upon the configuration. In one embodiment, the slot 134 is an aperture that passes through the cutter button material. Alternatively, the slot 134 is a groove or notch in the surface of the cutter button material. In that case, the slot 134 may be configured to have a depth that is at least as great as a protrusion depth of the post 212.
In an exemplary embodiment, the first and second nub-holes 610, 612 are formed as concave circular notches in the surface of the recess 116. Alternatively, the nub holes 610, 612 may be holes that pass completely through the surface of the recess 116.
During construction it may be beneficial to coordinate the design of the nub 210 with the design of the nub-holes 610, 612. Preferably, when the knob 104 is rotated to align the nub 210 with one of the nub-holes, the force created by the spring 110 will pull the nub 210 into the associated hole. Once the nub 210 is in a nub-hole, the knob 104 is said to be at a �stop point.� A larger rotation force is then required to rotate the knob 104.
According to the preferred embodiment, the recess 116 is useful for providing a lower profile assembly and for more securely holding the knob 104 in place. If used in a hand-held printer, for instance, the low profile may be more important�as product size and durability are major considerations. Further, the low profile may allow the knob 104 to slide under a housing of the printer during the cutting process. In an alternative embodiment, the recess 116 may be a surface on-level with the adjacent cutter button surface. Another embodiment places the knob/button attachment point on a raised area.
In the example of
In the example of
Of course, other types of label media 400 and cutting profiles may alternatively be used. The preferred embodiments are not limited to any particular label media 400 or any particular type of label media 400. To the contrary, the material cutter 100 described herein is suitable for a wide variety of cutting applications.
The material cutter 100 shown in
Although described as a manual material cutter 100 in referring to
Many modifications and other embodiments of the invention will come to mind to one skilled in the art to which this invention pertains having the benefit of the teachings presented in the foregoing descriptions and the associated drawings. Therefore, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and that modifications and other embodiments are intended to be included within the spirit and scope of the present invention. Although specific terms are employed herein, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation.

Susan Dromey Heeter's Down to Earth: Keeping the car stocked with summer essentials
And last week, I spotted another mom doing much the same — escorting children around, piloting the mom van, doing the drill. But when I saw her hand out several cold bottles of water to policemen directing traffic around a construction site in Dover, I was in awe. The faces on those officers on that Tuesday of 95 degree heat expressed raw gratitude. Their smiles were as bright as the sweltering sun.
In a New Hampshire winter, I carry an extra blanket, an ice scraper, cross country boots, skis, and an extra jacket. I like to think I'm prepared for anything that may come up: There may be an opportunity to do a quick ski through woods before grocery shopping; that definitely enhances my own life. Alas, I may come across an accident and a blanket would be handy for another life. I may be in an accident and someone may need a jacket AND blanket to stay warm.
And may your life be enhanced by your own car essentials.

Catholics and the Bible: Is the Bible the Only Source of Christian Beliefs? Comments
Over the last 25 years I've had more debates than I can count with Christians of various denominations. These conversations varied as widely as the perspectives of the different people I debated, but nearly every one eventually included the question: "Where is that in the Bible?" Why "sola scriptura" falls short and misses the mark. Continue Reading

Today's hike in New Hampshire was exciting and challenging. However, because took us over nine hours to complete the looped trail, we are arriving home very late.So my summary highlighting my day will have to wait. My next blog will have a pictorial summary.
We all recognize the importance of service to one another. Project Linus, a non-profit organization ( www.projectlinus.org/ ), tugs at my heart and motivates me to make quilts for children who are experiencing tragedies or serious illnesses. The mission of the organization is to help children in need by providing a sense of security at a devastating time in their lives.
What a great feeling it is to be a �blanketeer� with hundreds of others who share a common purpose to make blankets with love for children at a time they need it most.

In trying to stay focused and avoid depression, I decided to push myself out to the park to continue with my SparkPeople's 5K Your Way Rookie Running Program. The rain and intense heat from this past week almost made me feel like throwing in the towel. But today, after reading many of my SparkFriends activity feeds, I felt encouraged to go out and complete day 3 of week 5. It felt really good to accomplish that small task. Now I am ready to enter into week 6. It�s great having friends look out for you and help you stay on track. Thanks, SparkFriends, for helping me through this week!
Every day we wake up we are faced with many decisions to make. For some choices, we need to think a bit before deciding; for others we find ourselves making the decision right away without giving it much thought. Automatic responses are usually part of habitual behavior. Some behavior is learned. On our journey to better health, we are constantly learning how to decide which foods contain better nutritional value over others. We learn to choose to be active rather than watching someone else�s activity on TV. We learn to trust in God and our friends to help us through the difficult times of decision making. Some choices are easier to make than others. When we learn what is best for us and choose accordingly, we reap the benefits. Sometimes we make the wrong choice but we manage to learn from our mistakes. Through this whole process we build strength physically, mentally and spiritually. When this happens we find ourselves heading closer toward our goals for success. There's no turning back. There's no "do over". We just choose to move forward. So, plan ahead. Play often. Create in the kitchen with Spark recipes and explore the outdoors. Life�s an adventure. Make the decision to embrace it!
As I embark on year three with SparkPeople, I recently took time to reflect on my journey to better health while kayaking on the Wallkill River.
The beauty reflected by the rock and shoreline reminded me of the strength I have gained spiritually, physically and mentally.
The reflection of the clouds on the river made me realize the sky is the limit with anything I would like to accomplish.
The reflection of me paddling depicts the consistency needed to move forward to accomplish any goal.
Reflections���.it is time for my next adventure. When is yours?

Rosacea in Aventura
Rosacea is not a deadly condition by any means, but it is an unpleasant and unsightly one.

It doesn't just affect the face, those- its effects can be felt on the neck, scalp, back and chest- even sometimes the eyes. It is important to get this diagnosed and treated early, or it becomes much more difficult to fix.
Specialists in Aventura do have several methods for treating rosacea, including microdermabrasion, facial peels or Photofacial treatments. If you think or know you have rosacea, and are interested in learning about treatments, contact a doctor in Aventura today.
American Laser Skincare is sorry to announce the closing of clinic locations across the United States.

Grihadaha, Bengali Novel
Grihadaha, the memorable novel of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhya was published by GCS on 20th March 1920.
Grihadaha sets on the milieu of 20th century Bengal, represents the socio-cultural panorama of the contemporary era. The novel exhibits the conflict between the traditional Hindus and the Brahmans, centering the difference in customs, creeds and belief. A difference in the rural orthodox rearing and the urban upbringing cues one of the major issues, the novel deals with. Within the socio-cultural context, the novel portrays the interrelationship of the agonized soul tormented by the social discrimination based on religion. The novel Grihadaha is at the same time a piercing analysis of the human love and faith and the so-called integrity of a social institution of marriage.
: - Sarat Chandra, the celebrated novelist of the Bengal Literary World, was born in 15th September 1876 in Debanandapur of Hooghly district. As a prophetic social reformer, Sarat Chandra was proficient enough to spot the socio-religious problems leapt in the society, with the advent of the Brahma religion. His novel Grihadaha is the fictional representation of the religious conflict reinforced by the social echelon based on pecuniary norms. Besides delineating a social picture, the novelist here, conveyed his own perspective about the contemporary socio-religious ethos.
: - Presenting a realistic narrative on human relationships, the novel Grihadaha has the aura of a social drama in the core. The story line develops around three persons belonging to different stratum of the contemporary society. The strength of the social drama reinforced by religious discrimination intensifies with the mellowness of the love triangle between Suresh, Mahim and Achala. The poor and educated Mahim was the childhood friend of rich, conservative Suresh. Being born and brought up in a rural society he was habituated with the orthodoxy of the Hindu Brahmin family. Poverty was the inborn friend of Mahim and even in
it was due to fluctuating financial condition, he could not take admission in Medical College, following Suresh. Unlike Suresh, life was at more ease with Suresh, who has been reared up in the financial luxury. In the inseparable amity of Mahim and Suresh, Achala, an educated girl of Brahma Samaj appears as the glimmer of fire, which bewildered the relationship between the three.
The intellectual aura of Mahim inveigled Achala, who does not even care for the financial and social condition of Mahim, while marrying him. When the couple moved to village, the poverty and rigid conventionalism make it impossible to continue a blasé life with her beloved husband. Her smoldering unhappiness in family life takes the form of resentment towards Mrinal. However, the resentment and the unhappiness of the family life are dramatically visualized in the burning down of their house. Mahim falls ill, who was rescued by Suresh and nursed by Achala. In this course of time Achala gets infatuated with Suresh. She starts to feel that the intellectuality is nothing unless the man has a social and financial stability. Suresh, however felt different and with the evil design tempted Achala and eloped with her. However the novel concludes with the homecoming of Achala and her reconciliation with Hindu traditionalism.
The novel Grihadaha is analytical enough to point out the human relationships and the concept of love and friendship. The title of the novel signifies the flaming relationship between Mahim and Achala. The title "Grihadaha" at the same time also signifies the traumatized relationship of Achala and Mahim. Grihadaha represents the house including the family institution, which has burnt. In spite of being a family drama, Grihadaha pictures the society infested with narrow religious and social conflict, in which the social creatures are poor victims.
The novel first appeared in Bharatbarsha, in series, simultaneously with Dotta and Srikanto. In book form its first edition was published by GCS on 20th March 1920. The novel, highly applauded was translated into Gujarati in 1926 by Ratneshwar Vakil and to Hindi by Narayan Chandra Chatterjee in 1932. Pramathesh Barua`s film on Grihadaha was released on 9th October 1936. The Hindi version of the film by the same director called Manzil was also released in the same year.

Birthplace: Richmond, Virginia
Current City: Portland, Oregon
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
When I was growing up—from about sixth grade until high school—all I wanted to be was a climbing bum. I read all of the stories about Yosemite and the climbers living in Camp 4, climbing every day, pushing the limits of the sport, and that's what I wanted to do. Growing up in Richmond, Virginia, there wasn't much rock to climb but there is a river flowing right through the city and a thriving whitewater kayaking scene, so the climbing thing didn't last.
How did you get started in your field of work?
I got started shooting video when I was maybe 14, after watching whitewater kayaking videos over and over and over again. I decided that what I really wanted to do was exactly what my heroes of these videos were doing. So, I borrowed my high school sweetheart's parents' video camera and started shooting.
What inspires you to dedicate your life to the environment?
After years of kayaking and producing whitewater videos all around the world, I realized that I was missing something. Every filming trip, I would paddle my kayak through some of the most beautiful and pristine places in the world, but to get there I would have to travel through some of the most destroyed. Clear cuts, mines, megadams, and many other examples of environmental degradation line the banks of rivers. Seeing this beauty and destruction motivated me to devote my life to protecting the wild places that remain.
What's a normal day like for you?
I spend a fair amount of my time wishing for normal days, trying to find balance. I'm out and about for around half the year, traveling, filming, and working on conservation projects. In 2011 that led me to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Canada three times, Mexico, and a number of trips within the U.S. The rest of the year I spend editing, fund-raising, and planning, all of the office work that makes the fieldwork possible and useful.
So, half the year I'm waking up at sunrise in the wilderness, getting dirty, carrying cameras into the backcountry, and documenting beauty and destruction. The other half I'm waking up and walking to my Portland office to click and drag most of the day.
Do you have a hero?
For years I've said my hero is Mike Fay. Now that I've worked with him a bit ... it's still true. Mike is dedicated, and guided by the wild, not society or ladder climbing. He's a little crazy and willing to do things few others will to accomplish giant conservation success.
What has been your favorite experience in the field? The most challenging?
The most amazing experience I've had in the field was shooting the final scene in the documentary Spoil. Photographer Paul Nicklen and Gitga'at first nation guide Marven Robinson were searching for the illusive spirit bear in northern British Columbia. They had searched for weeks and weeks over the course of two years, and I was there to document some of their search. We had been invited there by the Gitga'at people because their culture is under attack by the oil industry. They felt if we could document this special place and this special bear, people would be inspired to protect it from the proposed oil pipeline from the tar sands in Alberta ports on the coast of British Columbia.
Finally, at the end of the film, Marven and Paul get just what they had searched for and the most amazing experience I've ever had in the field was documenting it. Check the film out at www.BalanceMedia.TV.
What are your other passions?
I love to paddle rivers. Sometimes that means in a raft, sometimes in a kayak. I also love gardening, birding, and enjoying the forest around Portland.
What do you do in your free time?
I spend almost all my time these days, when I'm not working on documentary production, doing environmental and social justice organizing. I also try hard to stay balanced, to make time to play outside and remember why it's so important to win these environmental battles we're fighting!

The following section demonstrates the creation of a simple "Hello World" service in a Windows Azure hosted application.
Note: If you are carrying out the upcoming steps with Visual Studio 2008, you will need to be in an elevated mode (such as Administrator). A convenient way of determining whether the mode setting is correct is to press the F5 key in order to enter debug mode. If you receive an error stating "the development fabric must be run elevated," then you will need to restart Visual Studio as an administrator.
Also, ensure the following on your SQL Express setup:
- SQL Server Express Edition 2008 must be running under the '.\SQLEXPRESS' instance
- Your Windows account must have a login in .\SQLEXPRESS
- Your login account is a member of the sysadmin role
If SQL Express isn't configured properly, you will get a permissions error.
1. Create a Cloud Service Project
First you need to open the New Project window to create a new cloud service project using VB.NET or C# (see Figure 5).
Figure 5: The New Project window
2. Choose an ASP.NET Web Role
After you click OK on the New Project window, the New Cloud Service Project wizard will start. You will then see a window (see Figure 6) that will allow you to choose the type of role that you would like as part of your service deployment.
Figure 6: The New Cloud Service Project Window
Mainstream SOA design patterns and service-orientation principles can be applied to Windows Azure-hosted services very similarly to how they are applied to internal enterprise-hosted services. Furthermore, Windows Azure-hosted services support different service implementation mediums (such as Web services and REST services) and allow for the same service to be accessed via multiple protocols. This supports the creative application of specialized patterns, such as Concurrent Contracts [726] and Dual Protocols [739].
For the Hello World project, you will only need the ASP.NET Web Role type. Once you select this role, you can choose the role name.
3. Create the Solution
After clicking OK, the wizard will generate the solution, which you can then view using the Solution Explorer window (see Figure 7).
Figure 7: The HelloWorld solution structure displayed in the Solution Explorer window
4. Instantiate the Service
Now you can open the Default.aspx file using the Solution Explorer window, put "Hello, Cloud!" in the Body element and press F5 to run. You should see something like what is shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8: The HelloWorld service in action
This example was executed locally on IIS. If we were to deploy this service into the Windows Azure cloud, it would still be running in IIS because it is hosted in a Web role.
Summary of Key Points
- The development environment for Windows Azure is fully integrated into Visual Studio, which provides a simulated runtime for Windows Azure for local desktop-based development and unit testing.
- Creating and deploying cloud-based services with Windows Azure is simplified using available wizards and development UIs.
