I'm using Lucene's Highlighter to highlight parts of a string. The code below seems to work fine for finding the stemmed words but not for prefix matching.
EnglishAnalyzer analyzer = new EnglishAnalyzer(Version.LUCENE_34);
QueryParser parser = new QueryParser(Version.LUCENE_30, "", analyzer);
Query query = parser.parse(pQuery);
QueryScorer scorer = new QueryScorer(query);
Fragmenter fragmenter = new SimpleSpanFragmenter(scorer, 40);
Highlighter highlighter = new Highlighter(scorer);
String[] frags = highlighter.getBestFragments(analyzer, "", pText, 4);
I've read in a few different places I need to call Query.rewrite to get the prefix matching to work. That method takes an IndexReader arguement though and I'm not sure how to get it. All of the example's I've found that call Query.rewreite don't show where the IndexReader came from. I'll add that that this is the only Lucene code I'm using. I'm not using Lucene to do the searching itself, just for the highlighting.
How do I create an IndexReader and is it possible to create one if I'm using Lucene the way that I am. Or perhaps there's a different way to get it to highlight the prefix matches? I'm very new to Lucene and I'm sure what all of these pieces do or if they're all necessary. I've just copied them from various example's I've found online. So if I've doing anything else wrong please let me know. Thanks.

At the very least, Gibbs can't do worse than Serena's first opponent here last year, Rodionova, who got double bageled. Sharapova, Lisicki, and Bartoli weren't much better either. (Only Kirilenko, another clever but not overpowering player, could take Serena to 3 sets.)
Wow, that's a stellar win streak
I look forward to seeing her play Rena

The Minnesota Twins came up with a plan last season to keep Joe Mauer's bat in the lineup. They stopped using him almost exclusively at catcher and mixed in games at first base and designated hitter to reduce the wear and tear on his body. It worked like a charm. Mauer played in a career-high 147 games and returned to form as one of the best hitters in the American League after a disastrous 2011 season. Now that he is completely healthy as the Twins prepare for spring training, Mauer says he hopes to be behind the plate more this season. General manager Terry Ryan agrees. Ryan says the target is 120 games at catcher for Mauer. That would be a dramatic increase over the 74 he caught last season.

Disclosed is a winding for a high voltage electrical generator comprising a plurality of bundles of conducting member arranged whereby highest voltage is impressed on the innermost bundle and lowest voltage is impressed on the outmost bundles. The bundles of the winding are wrapped within sheets of electrical insulation with the cumulative insulation thickness being in approximate proportion to the voltage gradient across the bundles of the winding.
1. For use in a high voltage electrical generator, a multilayer winding comprising a plurality of half-turn helical modules, each of said modules comprising a plurality of half-turn bundles of conducting bars and sheet insulation means wrapped around said bundles, said bundles of conducting members interconnected to form complete turns of said winding, the innermost bundles of each of said modules are at highest voltage potential and the outermost bundles of each of said modules are of the lowest voltage potential, whereby a generally uniform progression exists between said outermost and said innermost bundles, the sheet insulation means wrapped about said bundles providing insulation in approximate proportion to the voltage difference.
2. The winding as defined by claim 1 wherein each of said half-turn conductive bundles includes a single conductive bar.
3. The windings as defined in claim 1 wherein each of said half-turn conductive bundles includes a plurality of conductive bars.
4. The winding as defined in claim 1 wherein said modules include conduit means for a coolant.
This invention relates generally to high voltage, superconducting electrical generators, and more particularly the invention relates to armature windings for such machines which are magnetically efficient and which can be readily insulated.
Alternating current generators with superconducting rotating field windings are being extensively studied for bulk central station power generation. Unlike conventional generators which employ ferromagnetic teeth in which windings are placed, such generators employ air gap windings for the stator armature. The potential for large AC machines with air gap windings has raised the possibility of generation at higher voltages including transmission line voltages.
The manufacture of airgap windings for high voltage generators requires a significant departure from conventional electric machine construction. A large number of non-conventional configurations have been proposed, some for airgap armatures in general and some with properties which render the windings especially suitable for very high volage generators.
British patent specification No. 1,395,152 discloses a superconducting alternating current generator in which stationary alternating current windings are carried by a non-magnetic hollow cylindrical support structure coaxial with the rotor. Each winding includes a pair of coaxial cylindrical layers of conductors with each conductor composed of one or more sections of helical information. Each turn of the winding includes at least one conductor of the first layer connected into at least one conductor of the second layer. No special provision is made for limiting voltages between adjacent coils.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,743,875 for "Polyphase Synchronous Alternators Having A Controlled Voltage Gradient Armature Winding" and U.S. Pat. No. 4,200,817 for "Delta Connected, Two Layer, Three Phase Winding for an Electrical Machine" disclose high voltage generators using windings which are delta connected to achieve a controlled voltage gradient and reduce the insulation required therewith. U.S. Pat. No. 4,151,433 for "Cooled Spiral Winding For Electrical Rotating Machine Stator" discloses a winding of the "spiral pancake" configuration which spirals outwardly about the axis of rotation of the machine. The spiral pancake coils when assembled provide a generally cylindrical winding configuration which can be well supported by the stator shield.
Copending application Ser. No. 220,204, filed Dec. 24, 1980, for "Star Connected Air Gap Polyphased Armature Having Limited Voltage Gradients At Phase Boundaries and Method of Making Same" discloses a winding arrangement in which the coils in each phase group are connected in a predetermined manner in respective phase belt regions such that the outermost coils of one side of the phase belt regions are serially connected by jumper leads in series electrical relationship with the outermost coils of the other edge of the phase belt region. The remaining coil or coils of the phase belt region are serially interconnected with each other and with the outermost unconnected coils in a like alternating manner commencing from the outermost and continuing to the innermost coil of the phase belt region. The unconnected lead of the coil or coils at the first edge of the phase belt region forms the nuetral terminal connection of the phase winding in a star or wye circuit comprised of other similarly formed phase windings, and the unconnected lead of the last coil or coils remaining at the middle of the phase belt region forms the line terminal for the multiple coil phase windings to thereby minimize voltage differences between turns of physically adjacent phase windings at the phase boundaries.
The present invention is directed to high voltage generator windings which have limited voltage gradients and which are readily insulated. Advantageously, the windings can be connected in either delta or wye configurations as described in the above referenced patents and pending patent application.
Accordingly, an object of the invention is an improved high voltage electrical generator.
Another object of the invention is an improved winding for use in a polyphase high voltage superconductive generator.
A further object of the invention is a high voltage winding having limited voltage gradients and which is readily insulated.
A feature of the invention is a coil having spiral windings constructed from half turn bars.
Another feature of the invention is the provision of sheet insulation about the turns of the coil to accommodate the voltage gradient across the coil.
Briefly, a winding module in accordance with the invention comprises a plurality of half turn bundles of conductive bars which are interconnected to form a coil phase winding. In a preferred embodiment each module and each bundle is a half turn helix, and the bundles of the modules are interconnected whereby the center bundle or pair of bundles is at maximum voltage.
Each conductive bundle comprises one or more mutually insulated halfturn bars, and each bar may comprise a single conduction path or a plurality of individually insulated and transposed conductors. One or more cooling tubes may be included in the bundle structure, and the complete assembly is preferably resin filled and molded for mechanical integrity.
Assembly of the bundles into a module proceeds from the center bundle or pair of bundles outwardly. The center bundle or bundle pair receives a layer of sheet insulation, and the next bundles are then placed on either side of the insulated structure. An additional layer of sheet insulation is applied over the assembly so formed, and the assembly continues by repetition until the entire module has been completed.
The order of connection of turns is selected so that when the armature is in operation, the outermost bundles are at the lowest potentials with respect to neutral, and other bundles progressing inwardly are at progressively higher potentials. The total thickness of insulation between bundles and between each bundle and ground is in approximate proportion to the potential difference therebetween.
The invention and objects and features thereof will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description and appended claims when taken with the drawing, in which:
FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B are perspective views illustrating conventional two layer lap windings for a polyphase machine.
FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B are perspective views illustrating two layer lap windings having helical coils in accordance with the prior art.
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a spiral pancake armature winding in accordance with the prior art.
FIGS. 4A-4C are top, front, and side views of a helical module consisting of a plurality of bundle of bars in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 5 is a schematic of a two module winding for a polyphase machine using bundles in accordance with the invention.
FIGS. 6A-6C are section views along line 6--6 of FIG. 4A and FIG. 5 illustrating the assembly of bundles of a module in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B are a side view and top view, respectively, of the end portion of the winding of FIG. 6C.
As described above, in a superconducting machine the field ampere turns obtainable are so great that it becomes possible to dispense with the iron core of the stator winding while maintaining an effective flux density. Typically in such a machine a stationary alternating current winding is carried by a non-magnetic cylindrical support structure coaxial with the rotor, such as described in British Pat. No. 1,395,152.
An armature winding geometry, adapted for high voltage, is illustrated in the perspective views of FIGS. 1A and 1B. The winding 10 of a coil is referred to as a two layer lap winding with end turns laid out on a conical surface, the cone angle being reduced to zero and the end turns becoming helices on the surface of a cylinder. A thick layer of insulation 12 is inserted between the layers of the coil to accommodate the high voltage between coils in different layers, and the displacement of the ends of the conductors allows the end connections to be made directly and reduces the requirement for end windings to connect conductors lying at spaced positions around the winding.
FIGS. 2A and 2B are perspective views of another embodiment of a two layer lap winding in which each winding 16 includes two half turns of 180� of a circular helix. The helical two layer winding offers geometric regularity which is regarded as the principle benefit, and the simple cylindrical form of the interlayer space is a major benefit. Again, a thick cylinder 18 of insulating material is provided between the two layers.
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of another construction for high voltage windings. Each of the windings such as winding 20 is a so-called spiral pancake which permits insulation between coils to be formed from sheets. While use of sheet insulation is advantageous, the efficiency of magnetic coupling is compromised in achieving this feature.
All the winding constructions described above with respect to FIGS. 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B share the common feature that coils at highly different voltages are separated by thick solid insulators of relatively simple construction. The coils also share the feature of potential for circumferential electrical creepage failure along the surface of a phase belt, which is presumed to be prevented by limitation of voltage or by detailed design of the creep interface.
In order to avoid large voltages at the circumferential phase boundaries, the configurations with cylindrical insulators may be delta connected as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,743,875 and 4,200,817, supra. Alternatively, the windings can be connected in a wye configuration as disclosed in co-pending application Ser. No. 220,203, supra.
In accordance with the present invention a coil module consisting of bundles of conductive bars is provided for use in a very high voltage generator which has an electromagnetically efficient shape, is easily supported against the full range of mechanical loads, and with coils having a uniform voltage gradient across the coil and which are readily insulated for very high voltage.
FIGS. 4A-4C are top, side, and end views, respectively, of one of the basic modules 24 of a winding in accordance with this invention. A layer of the winding comprises a plurality (typically 6, for a three-phase two-pole machine) of such modules. The complementary layer of the winding, lying at a radial location outside of the radius of the layer formed by modules like the one shown is comprised of a like number of modules having a shape generally like that shown, but with a helix of opposite direction. While the module in accordance with the invention is particularly advantageous with helical windings, as shown, the invention can be employed with windings of other shapes. As will be described further hereinbelow with reference to the section view of FIG. 6C taken along line 6--6 of FIG. 4A, each module 24 consists of a plurality of bundles of conducting members or bars.
In its simplest embodiment each bundle comprises a single bar, and each bar may comprise a single conductor or a plurality of conductors which are individually insulated and transported in forming the bar. Further, one or more coolant tubes 32 may be included in the module structure with the complete assembly resin filled and molded for mechanical integrity.
The number of bundles of conducting bars in each phase belt layer may vary over a wide range, but the range of 7 to 14 is presently the most practical. Further, to meet the geometric constraints on module layout, it is convenient to make the bundles of different cross sections. When rectangular bars are employed, some variation can be achieved by altering the stacking of bars within a bundle.
Consider now the helical winding consisting of two modules such as shown in FIGS. 4A-4C and illustrated schematically in FIG. 5. In accordance with the invention, the assembly of bundles into a module spiral winding proceeds from the center outwardly. As illustrated in FIGS. 6A-6C (section views along the line 6--6 of FIGS. 4 and 5) the procedure begins with a center bundle 34 (or a pair of bundles, depending on whether the module contains an odd or even number of bundles). The center bundle 34 receives a layer of sheet insulation 36 which may be a mica-resin or oil filled paper tape.
Next, as shown in FIG. 6B additional bundles 38 and 40 are placed on either side of the center bundle 34, and an additional layer of sheet insulation 42 is applied around the assembly so formed. Assembly continues by repetition of this process until the entire module has been completed as shown in FIG. 6C.
In accordance with a feature of a preferred embodiment, the bundles become taller and thinner progressing outwardly from the center of the module to the end bundles 46 and 48. The only limitation on the use of taller bundles is that the sheet insulation which is applied around the bundles must not follow a concave path. This limitation prevents the radially inner surface of the module from conforming closely to a circle, and while this restriction may appear to be wasteful of space, the modular phase belt construction is equal in spatial utilization to a wound armature with monolithic cylindrical insulators.
Advantageously, the order of connection of turns in the phase module is selected so that when the armature is in operation the outermost bundles are at the lowest potentials with respect to neutral and the other bundles progressing inwardly are at progressively higher potentials, with the highest potential being at the center bundle 34. The total thickness of insulation between bundles and between each bundle and ground is seen to be in approximate proportion to the potential differences. Importantly, the layers of insulation are approximately perpendicular to the directions of high electrical stress which is conducive to achieving good performance from the insulation. The outer surface of the module is preferably coated with a semiconducting material which may be kept at neutral potential, thus avoiding electrical stress concentration outside of the module. Such a coating also facilitates mechanical support of the module within the stator cylinder. The armature is assembled by bringing together all of the modules with appropriate mechanical structures between them.
FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B are a side view and a top view, respectively, of the connection region of one axial end of the winding shown schematically in FIG. 5. As shown in FIG. 7A, bars of a radially inner bundle 58 are joined to bars of a radially outer bundle 60. As shown in the top view of FIG. 7B, all conductors follow the axial direction in the connection region. Successive layers of the module, from the outside toward the innermost bundle, are terminated at different axial locations progressing away from the machine center. First the conductive outer sheath 50 is terminated, and then over a distance of several inches the outer layers of sheet insulation 52 are tapered from full thickness to zero, thus exposing the outer bundles of bars 46 and 48.
Connections between bars in bundle 46 and the corresponding bars in bundle 62 can be made by conventional metal joining techniques, as can connections between bundle 48 and the corresponding bars from the inner layer. The second layer of sheet insulation 54 is tapered to zero, permitting the second bundles of bars 56 and 62 to be connected. Remaining layers are terminated in a similar manner.
Provision can be made for the connection of inflow and egress of a coolant through ports (not shown) in parts 66, 68, 70, 73, 74 and 76, assuming that the individual bars are to be cooled. Alternatively, a coolant can be provided at the connector to flood the end of the generator with a dielectric cooling fluid.
By so assembling bundles of conducting bars to form a winding module, the voltage different between adjacent bundles can be minimized with the high voltage terminal centrally located in the winding and the outer bundles of the winding being at lowest voltage potential. The winding bundles are readily insulated by sheet insulation to accommodate the voltage gradient across the winding.
While the invention has been described with reference to a specific embodiment, the description is illustrative of the invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention. Various modifications and applications have been suggested and other modifications and applications may occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Sudan Inflation Slows to 19.8% in October as Food Costs Drop
Nov. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Sudan's inflation rate declined to 19.8 percent in October from 20.7 percent in September as food prices dropped, the Khartoum-based Central Bureau of Statistics said.
Prices of food and drinks, the biggest component in the consumer price index, decreased by 4.9 percent from the previous month, said the Khartoum-based agency, which monitors inflation in Sudan's northern states, said today in an e-mailed statement. Inflation slowed for the second straight month.
The highest inflation rates were recorded in the states of North Darfur, with 38.5 percent, and the border states of Southern Kordofan, with 34.8 percent, and Blue Nile with 30.4 percent.
Sudan is targeting inflation of 12 percent and economic growth of 5 percent this year, according to Finance Minister Ali Mahmoud Abdel Rasoul.

Slowey shines, Twins stay with Sox with 7-1 win
MINNEAPOLIS (AP)—The Minnesota Twins have stayed in contention all season on the strength of a young, thriving rotation—and their tutelage from pitching coach Rick Anderson.
He's taught them so well, it seems, they hardly need him now.
Kevin Slowey allowed four hits over seven innings and kept Minnesota in step with the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central, pitching the Twins past the Kansas City Royals 7-1 on Wednesday night.
The Twins, who are one game behind Chicago in the division, notched consecutive wins for the first time in nearly three weeks. They had three hits and two RBIs from Jason Kubel, three singles by catalyst Alexi Casilla and another strong start by Slowey (12-9).
"We're able to just kind of go out there and pitch, and enjoy ourselves and enjoy each other's company," Slowey said. "Do our best and not look toward three weeks down the line … and whether we're going to make the playoffs. Us all being this young is actually probably helping us out a little bit."
Anderson has been impressed by the way Slowey, Glen Perkins, Nick Blackburn, Scott Baker and Francisco Liriano have quickly identified and self-corrected their mistakes. Slowey was throwing too hard at first, but he reported his problem in the dugout before Anderson could get a word out. He figured it out and slowed his fastball back down to around 88 mph in the subsequent innings.
"They all feed off each other so well. That's the neat thing," Anderson said. "They talk about what they did right and what they did wrong, their experience and their thoughts. That's a good thing. I just stay out of the way and let 'em pitch."
Four of Minnesota's five RBIs came with two outs, and the Twins (80-65) surpassed last year's victory total. The Royals fell to 3-11 this season against Minnesota and have lost 13 of their last 15 road games.
"They're a solid team. They have smart guys all around that field," Kansas City's David DeJesus said. "What do you do? That's what they've been doing to us all year."
Kyle Davies (6-7) gave up four runs and eight hits over 5 2-3 innings for Kansas City. Delmon Young, Nick Punto and Carlos Gomez also drove in runs for the Twins, who had at least 12 hits for the fourth straight game.
Reliever Leo Nunez let the game get out of hand in the seventh, when Gomez singled, Denard Span walked, and Casilla bunted to the right of the mound. Nunez threw the ball short of first base, and it skipped all the way to the bullpen while two runs scored.
But the damage was done a lot earlier.
"A couple bad pitches, and they hit some balls pretty good up the middle," Davies said.
Royals manager Trey Hillman reorganized his lineup as a response to what he deemed a lethargic effort in Tuesday's 7-2 defeat to Minnesota, after he vowed his team would not roll over for the Twins or White Sox—who account for seven of their final 18 matchups.
The results, though, were largely the same on the night Kansas City was officially eliminated from the division race.
After consecutive singles to start the game was followed by a sacrifice fly from DeJesus, Jose Guillen ended the inning with a double-play groundout. The relay throw from Casilla was wide of first base, but Justin Morneau had plenty of time to make the catch and the tag.
Slowey surrendered his share of hard-hit balls, but that's his style— getting them to go to the right places. He retired 17 of his last 19 batters, surrendering only a walk and a double during that stretch.
Matching Perkins for the team lead in victories, Slowey improved to 5-1 in his last seven starts while allowing only five baserunners. He struck out two and maintained his healthy major league lead in the fewest walks category, with 19.
"He's a Twins pitcher, a smart pitcher," DeJesus said. "If he sees a pitch that's working, he keeps going back to it."
Gomez stole his 30th base, Minnesota's first player to reach that mark since Luis Rivas in 2001 and the 14th time a Twin has collected that many in 48 seasons. … Alberto Callaspo hit a line drive into the home dugout in the third inning that nearly decapitated Twins closer Joe Nathan. He stood up, hopped around and sat back down with wide eyes, a weary smile and several deep breaths. "I'm pretty sure it went through me," Nathan said. … Minnesota RF Michael Cuddyer (broken foot) has been cleared to run as much as he can handle, but he's not close to full speed yet. … The Royals could activate 3B Alex Gordon (tear in hip flexor muscle) and OF Mitch Maier (broken bones in face) this weekend at Cleveland. Both have been out for three weeks. Hillman said Gordon will play in one of Saturday's games against the Indians, likely the first half of the doubleheader. … The Twins announced their bid to host the 2014 All-Star game at their new ballpark, which will open in 2010.

Unlike most world cup teams, Bavaria couldn't lose. Kipp takes a look at the daring Dutch marketing ploy – ethically dubious, or an effective business short cut?
June 20, 2010 11:56 by Samuel Potter
Ambush marketing is now a hot topic. The Bavaria incident should give you an idea of what it is – a marketing campaign taking place around a certain event, but not paying for official involvement. It's a type of marketing that has been going for years, though perhaps the phrase was only recently coined.
In 1984, for instance, Kodak cunningly sponsored both the US track team and the broadcasts of the Olympic Games. This was despite Fuljifilm being the event's official sponsor.
In 1996, sprinter Linford Christie wore contact lenses embossed with the Puma logo before the 100 meters final of the Atlanta Olympics. Reebok was the official sponsor of the games.
The 2006 FIFA World Cup saw Bavaria's first brush with football's governing body. Netherlands fans were made to remove lederhosen featuring Bavaria's logo.
And Bavaria wasn't the only company in trouble at this year's event. A South African budget airline retreated from its planned ad after a FIFA complaint. Kulula.com intended to refer to itself as the "Unofficial National Carrier of the You-Know-What."
Countries are increasingly moving to make ambush marketing of the type apparently executed by Bavaria illegal. Why? Well, a large chunk of the income of an organization like FIFA comes from official sponsorship. For that reasons, when governing associations come to award events they will favor countries that move to protect its sponsors. So if England wants to host the World Cup in 2018, it needs to be seen to act against ambushing.
There are also ethical questions over ambush marketing – is it acceptable to effectively hi-jack an event that another company has paid a great deal of cash to sponsor? Or is it only fair, seeing as the big companies are merely using financial clout to exclude competition? The danger for organizations like FIFA is where the end-game of this trend will be. Official sponsorship could die out, as marketers realize that if they are smart, they can do just as well without it. Even if they find themselves breaking the law, the punishment is most likely to be a fine; the odds are that these fines will remain far cheaper than the cost of official sponsorship. This could be bad news for the governing bodies, who could lose out on significant income.
Whatever the long term developments, the bottom line is that at the moment ambush marketing, done right, can be a highly effective business tool – especially for a small company out to make its mark. The Bavaria incident is proof of that.

FIFA works all the time at FIFA "Rights Protection Programme" and plans more controlle for Euro 2012, but the point ist, ambush is legal.

Doesn't look bad at all, looks more like Burple to me though. It's got some character, you gotta admit that!
Does anyone know what the specs on the tire/wheel combo was used on the two trucks? Any adapter kits needed? I really want to do this to my slash but the hobby shop guys here are no help.
Enjoy the new rig and thanks for doing what you do, come home safe!
Sweet, thanks for posting that link!
Here is thread I found of some people doing this to a 2wd slash.
I'm anxious to hear more feedback on this setup, I want to do the same thing with my Slash 4x4 as an alternate setup. :)
Good call, this is the kind of alternate setup I am shooting for. A setup for parking lot & indoor hard surface racing.
Sorry for not being to specific, I just had a thought of making an indoor/asphalt setup similar to a touring car but for the Slash 4x4. I've seen only one so far, but it was a slash 2wd.
Hey all,
I recieved my Slash 4x4 for xmas after being out of the RC game since 95' where I had a stable of nice rigs. Thus far the Slash 4x4 is such an awesome rig offroad.
I had some thoughts...
Congrats, I got the same one as you. This rig is totally ******!
I got the Slash 4x4 for xmas, and I have had about 4 full batteries worth of run time. I must say the Slash is better than the E-REVO in my opinion, its more agile, less clunky and like others said...

Louis Armstrong, in His Own Words: Selected Writingsby Louis Armstrong
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Louis Armstrong has been the subject of countless biographies and music histories. Yet scant attention has been paid to the remarkable array of writings he left behind. Louis Armstrong: In His Own Words introduces readers to a little-known facet of this master trumpeter, band leader, and entertainer.
Based on extensive research through the Armstrong archives, this important volume includes some of his earliest letters, personal correspondence with one of his first biographers in 1943-44, autobiographical writings, magazine articles, and essays. Here are Armstrong's own thoughts on his life and career--from poverty in New Orleans to playing in the famous cafes, cabarets, and saloons of Storyville, from his big break in 1922 with the King Oliver band to his storming of New York, from his breaking of color barriers in Hollywood to the infamous King of the Zulus incident in 1949, and finally, to his last days in Queens, New York. Along the way Armstrong recorded touching portraits of his times and offered candid, often controversial, opinions about racism, marijuana, bebop, and other jazz artists such as Jelly Roll Morton and Coleman Hawkins.
Indeed, these writings provide a balanced portrait of his life as a musician, entertainer, civil rights activist, and cultural icon. Armstrong's idiosyncratic use of language and punctuation have been preserved to give the reader an unvarnished portrayal of this compelling artist. This volume also includes introductions to the writings, as well as an annotated index of names and places significant to Armstrong's life.
Trumpeter. Singer. Actor. Entertainer. In his life, Louis Armstrong thrilled audiences worldwide and influenced countless musicians. But beyond being a revolutionary musician and an enchanting stage personality, Louis Armstrong was a writer--and he was prolific.
This unparalleled collection of Armstrong's candid writings reveals a side of the artist not widely known to his fans. With idiosyncratic language and punctuation that recalls his musical virtuosity, Armstrong presents his thoughts on his life and career--from abject poverty in New Orleans to playing in the famous cafes, cabarets, and saloons of Storyville; from his big break in 1922 with the King Oliver band to his storming of New York; from his breaking of color barriers in Hollywood to the infamous King of the Zulus incident in 1949; and finally, to his last days in Queens, New York.
Along the way, these writings reveal Armstrongs honest, and often controversial, opinions about racism, marijuana, bebop, and fellow jazz artists. Whether a devoted Armstrong fan or a jazz neophyte, everyone will find here an illuminating, unvarnished portrayal of this truly compelling man.

Region: Sonoma County, California
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Item no. 538
The naming of this wine was inspired by the dynamiting that was necessary to carve our vineyard and winery out of the rugged rocky slopes of Mt. Veeder, which separates the Sonoma and Napa valleys. Certain exposures and altitudes in our vineyard can produce grapes which, through careful vinification, yield a softer and more supple wine which retains the complexity and intensity of its mountain heritage without requiring the long bottle aging of our more tannic estate blends. The Dynamite Cabernet is crafted to be delightful to drink in its fruity youth as well as in its cellared maturity.

Despite the absolutely predictable efforts of a few of my most deranged critics to portray me as a vicious gay-hating bigot, I've had very little to say over the years regarding homosexuality-related political issues. Truth be told, they haven't interested me much. That is to say, I have lots of other interests that rank higher on my priority list.
But it's true that I do have reservations about the current rush toward redefining marriage — among them what I, and others, regard as a troubling tendency, yet again, for self-anointed "progressives" to legislate through the courts, as well as the elitist disdain and, sometimes, the pure furious hatred directed at those who dissent from newly emergent orthodoxy on the matter (and who, ironically, are often pronounced purveyors of "hate" by those who actually do purvey hatred).
I've had little to say, but, given the topic's prominence in the news, I'm likely to be reading and saying a bit more about it in the future. The subject is, as might have been expected, moving slowly up on my list of priorities. Which, I know, will earn me the virulent contempt of some out there and will cement my image as an angry "hater" in certain other circles.
Nonetheless, here are a few links on the subject that I consider worth sharing:
The always provocative Mark Steyn, on and about same-sex marriage:
But then, see this item, which (among other things and, in my view, rightly) questions the very term "same-sex marriage":
And notice how, for the umpteenth time, there is an attempt to marginalize, even banish, those who dare to dissent from the new view of marriage:
But there's no question, in any event, that opponents of the redefinition of marriage are losing the debate right now, and badly, in the so-called "court of public opinion." Mona Charen reflects on why this is so:
Incidentally, I've heard several commentators on the radio and television lately who have noted that gay "marriage" has been legalized in various states and European countries, and that, nonetheless, "the sky has not fallen." (That phrase has recurred so often that I've wondered whether it might not be part of somebody's "talking points memo.") But this response refutes a straw man, a caricature. I don't know that there was anybody out there — no reflective, serious thinker, anyway — who imagined or predicted that "the sky" would immediately "fall." No, the concern is about long-term societal trends. The kind that are likely to appear only after at least a generation or two, but which, when they appear, could be very difficult to reverse.
In this respect, I share the "conservative disposition" of the late English political philosopher Michael Oakeshott: He liked to describe himself as a "skeptic," by which he meant the skepticism of St. Augustine and Montaigne regarding human pretensions to succeed in "the pursuit of perfection as the crow flies," to create a heavenly kingdom on the earth by their own unaided powers, to predict, control, and manage the contingencies of human existence. I'm very skeptical about aspirations to "immanentize the eschaton," as Eric Voegelin expressed it.
We should have learned humility by now. (See my earlier thoughts on "Humility and Gay Marriage.") We simply cannot foresee and control all of the rippling and ramifying effects of our actions. We intervene in the economy, and, by doing so, create all sorts of problems in the market that require further interventions to solve them, and these new interventions create all sorts of new problems in the market that require still more interventions. We arm the mujahidin in Afghanistan in order to fight the Soviets and, a few years later, find them flying airliners into the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. We eliminate wolves around Yellowstone, and are then obliged to reintroduce them when we discover that they're actually necessary in the balance of nature. We use antibiotics to combat a certain pathogen, almost entirely eradicating it, only to find that we've helped its surviving representatives to mutate into something still more dangerously lethal.
The ancient Greeks had a very useful concept that is relevant here: hubris.
We can't altogether refrain from acting, of course, but we should be very, very conscious of our limitations, and, where there are concerns, we shouldn't hastily override them. Not on such fundamental matters as the definition of marriage.
Some are giddy at the prospect that, when the older generation dies off, there will, they think, be little or no resistance to the wave of support that efforts to redefine marriage are currently riding. Now, I don't need to be reminded that we've made social progress against resistance on many fronts over past decades and centuries (e.g., the abolition of slavery, women's suffrage, and the establishment of black equality before the law). I'm fully on board, too, with the idea that youthful idealism can be a very good thing. But it can also be a very dangerous thing (think of the Hitlerjugend and Mao's "Cultural Revolution" and the very young, gun-wielding idealists of the Cambodian killing fields and of various African genocides and civil wars.) I simply object to the fatuous idea that older people are superfluous, that they have nothing to offer in current debates about social policy and cultural attitudes.
I grew up in the California of the sixties. We were told that virtually all of those in authority were "pigs," and never to trust anybody over thirty. I never bought such nonsense then, and I don't buy it now.
Both youthful enthusiasm and older restraint are necessary, it seems obvious to me, for there to be even a chance of a balanced society. A properly functioning automobile needs an engine, yes, but it's also helpful to have functioning brakes. There's a reason why Plato said that the right age to begin studying philosophy was fifty. There's a reason why, at the height of the American economic bubble, some writers were cautioning investors to seek out older advisors who had been through a downturn rather than young ones who had never experienced bad economic times.
I've always been struck by the fact that, in Arabic, the word for "innovation" is bid'a — and that precisely the same word is used for "heresy." This equation seems to indicate a strong preference for the past, which is precisely true in the sense that the ideal model for Muslims is the Prophet Muhammad and the "pristine Medina" of seventh-century Arabia. It's easy for Westerners to criticize such a mindset as regressive. But, in the West, aren't we prone to the equal and opposite error? When we wish to praise something or someone, we often use the word innovative. But, just as innovation isn't always evil but can be good, it's not always good, either. It can be unwise, imprudent, stupid. The uncritical embrace of innovation ("change!") is no more justifiable than its uncritical, knee-jerk rejection.

14:14–20 A description of the Second Coming as the harvest over which Christ presides (Matt. 13:36–43; cf. Joel 3:12–16)—the "one like a son of man" (1:13; Dan. 7:13, 14). Two harvests are described, grain (vv. 14–16) and grapes (vv. 17–20). These are perhaps two aspects of the same events of judgment. However, the grain harvest may symbolize the harvest of the righteous (Luke 3:17), followed by the harvest of the wicked (grapes).

Christmas Valley is an unincorporated community in Lake County, Oregon, United States. The community was named after nearby Christmas Lake, usually dry, east of the present townsite and the site of the former Lake post office, which ran from 1906 until 1943.[2][3] Real estate development around a planned community by M. Penn Phillips, called Christmas Valley, started after World War II. Christmas Valley post office was established in 1963 as a rural station of Silver Lake.[2]
Christmas Lake, Christmas (Lake) Valley, and nearby Peter's Sink and Peter's Creek were named for pioneer stockman Peter Christman, who grazed his cattle there and had a house at Silver Lake, 18 miles (29 km) to the southwest.[4] These names were applied as early as September 29, 1877, when they were referred to by former Oregon Governor John Whiteaker in a letter to the editor of the Eugene City Guard.[4] Whiteaker himself had an interest in the fossil beds at nearby Fossil Lake, and ranching interests in the area as well.[4]
The name "Christmas" was an early corruption of the name Christman that became entrenched in the vernacular by 1900. The Christman family often spelled their name with a T although some family members would omit it and use the name Chrisman. Several examples of both spellings were found in print, some in government documents. Whiteaker himself referred to the lake as both "Christman Lake" and "Christmas Lake" in his letter to the editor, and unmistakably pinpointed the lake's location.[4][5]
Penn Phillips era[edit]
In 1961, developer M. Penn Phillips laid out the townsite, including its fanciful holiday street names (such as Candy Lane, Mistletoe Road, Comet Street, Vixen Street, etc.), the Christmas Valley Airport, a water system, a golf course, a lodge, rodeo grounds, and an artificial lake originally named Christmas Valley Lake and now called Baert Lake. Phillips aggressively promoted the community in California to young, would-be farmers and retirees; often providing free bus tours and flights and marketing the potential of the land as green and readily farmed. The company quickly sold out the parcels, though despite Phillips' claims that the community would soon have more than 5,000 residents, few actually moved there.[4] In 1966, in an Oregon Tax Court decision about tax valuation of Christmas Lake property, Judge Edward Howell opined, "the land, at least in its present condition, is arid, dusty, windy, isolated, [and] subject to temperature extremes."[6] In the early 1970s, the Phillips company faced lawsuits about misrepresentation of the property and the Phillips era is usually considered a scam.[6]
Christmas Valley is largely a hay farming community today, though a group of small vegetable and poultry farmers and artisans have organized and collaborate through the seasonal Tumbleweed Farmers' and Crafters' Market.[7] As of 2006, the community had a number of commercial businesses including two grocery stores, two motels, four restaurants, a gas station, and a nine-hole golf course.[1]
The community is perhaps best known by off-road all-terrain vehicle enthusiasts worldwide who ride in the Christmas Valley Sand Dunes.[8]
Christmas Valley students are served by the North Lake School District.
Military facility[edit]
The Christmas Valley Air Force Station was an over-the-horizon radar station that was deactivated in 2002.
This region experiences warm (but not hot) and dry summers, with no average monthly temperatures above 71.6 °F (22.0 °C). According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Christmas Valley has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, abbreviated "Csb" on climate maps.[9]

She performed the procedure personally, so yeah.. she stuck that proverbial knife in him.
Actually as the Captain, there are several legal means and reasons for by which she could call for the execution or sacrifice of her crew...

None whatsoever.

We are loading the combobox on demand using a WCF service. This way, as the user starts typing, the ComboBox talks to the WCF service and fetches the necessary data.
We have forms authentication on the ASP.NET application. The issue is that I want to only allow the authenticated users from our system to make this WCF call.
I don't want to authenticate each and every request to the WCF service because for the autocomplete scenario, that would be too much. I thought of passing in a GUID value from the client in the combobox context and compare that value at the WCF end but that is not secured because the GUID value can be seen by performing View Source.
Has anyone else run into this issue? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks, Pratik

Low-Power Deep Sub-Micron CMOS Logic: Sub-threshold Current Reduction (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science)
The strong interaction between the demand for increasing chip functionality and data-processing speeds, and technological trends in the integrated circuit industry, like e.g. shrinking device geometry, growing chip area and increased transistor switching speeds, cause a huge increase in power dissipation for deep sub-micron digital CMOS circuits. Low-Power Deep Sub-micron CMOS Logic, Sub-threshold Current Reduction classifies all power dissipation sources in digital CMOS circuits and provides for a systematic approach of power reduction techniques. A clear distinction has been made between power dissipated to perform a calculation in a certain time frame, i.e. functional power dissipation, and power dissipated even when a circuit is idle, i.e. parasitical power dissipation. The threshold voltage level forms an important link between the functional and the parasitical power dissipation. Since for high data-processing speeds the threshold voltage needs to be low, whereas for low sub-threshold leakage currents it needs to be high. The latter is extremely important for battery operated circuits in standby modes. Therefore, a separate classification of sub-threshold current reduction techniques is presented showing existing and new circuit topologies. Low-Power Deep Sub-micron CMOS Logic, Sub-threshold Current Reduction is a valuable book for researchers, designers as well as students in the field of low-power digital design. Power dissipation is discussed from a fundamental, quantum mechanical and a practical point of view. Theory is accompanied with practical circuit implementations and measurement results.

Foxy x Abused! Child! Reader~Reader's P.O.V.~Foxy x Abused! Child! Reader by InvaderSkittles432
It was another miserable and painful day for you, your body was still trying to heal from the last beating you received from your father. You may have been only 6 years old but you were smart enough to know that your father was a bad man, and that you had to avoid him at all costs. The best way to do that was to stay locked up in your room, it was the only safe place you had. You cried softly as your stomach once again growled, you hadn't had any food all day.
It was very difficult to sneak food into your room without your father noticing, you were lucky if you even got one small piece of food. Sometimes you would go a whole day without getting anything at all to eat, and it looks like today was going to be one of those days. Things weren't like this when your mother was alive, when she was alive you were happy. You had a stable family and a good life, you were always cheerful and smiling.
But when she passed away things changed, your fathe
