I was invited to attend a gallery breakfast tomorrow at Anthropologies Rockefeller Center location but of course being in Germany it is not possible (obviously!) I hope that another blogger will attend and blog about it because I'd love to see how the event turns out. It features the work of former Anthropologie visual director (for 8 years) Leslie Oschmann (full bio here) and after you view her website I think you'd also want to see her work up close and personal. Wow. Great stuff. I think it will make you look at vintage paintings a little differently, especially the ones that you find at flea markets that could use a little love… Why not add some of your own creativity to them like Leslie does?
Leslie relocated from the states to Holland and now has an Amsterdam-based studio called Swarm Home where she gives new life to old furniture and paintings found in local flea markets. Have you seen her work before? It's just lovely. I'm quite impressed with her painting, I wonder if she is also doing decoupage in her work? I do see some needlepoint on a dresser door below that I think is exquisite and I really like the application of silk on vintage portraits because it makes the painting feel much more current and fun.
I adore mixed media art and enjoy viewing how Leslie uses many different materials to create art, combining unexpected materials takes so much talent and skill. Leslie is just one of many artists out there doing exciting things with found objects… have a look around her website and see for yourself — it is quite a fantastic visual trip!
Tip: For those who cannot paint like the talented Leslie, no worries! Have you thought of decoupage as an option? It can be done really well and seems to be gaining popularity again here in Germany (and northern .Europe in general) I love seeing decoupage, stenciling, and stamping making a comeback because it was somewhat snubbed in the interior design world and referred to as being, "Soooo bad 1980's" or "Craft store kitsch" but if done right (take Wary Meyers for example), I think that it can be lovely. I had this feeling that the decoupage 'trend' could come back but when my friend gave me the current copy of the German Elle Decoration and I saw a complete spread on decoupage (used on bespoke furniture) my suspicions were confirmed. Decoupage can be done right.

Today is my final day of work for this week, I've decided that since I run my own business I am entitled to take normal holidays off just like everyone else. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and though no one observes it here in Germany, I decided that I am taking it off anyway! I'm also taking Friday off so I can enjoy a much needed 4 day weekend. Yippee! I can't wait to unplug from the computer for a few days and jump into some crafting projects. I want to make several mini paintings for friends, work on some projects around my apartment, and just enjoy the last 3 weeks in Germany as I leave in 22 days (wahhh!) and head back to the states for the winter. Tomorrow begins the annual Weihnachtsm?rkte for the next three weeks so I'll be out and about with my camera and of course, my wallet! I love to shop at these little vendors, I usually don't spend much money but I do enjoy all of the treats and wooden toys. I am so looking forward to this short vacation.
Here are some of my current Flickr faves. Please click here to view them all, you can click on the mini photos once you are on Flickr to view them in full size. Pay special attention to the little fox. Once you click on him you will find the most lovely story.
Have a bright and beautiful few days and since you're an international crowd and not all celebrate Thanksgiving since it's primarily an American holiday, I'll simply wish you a lovely time doing whatever it is that you will do until we meet again. I'll see you on Monday, December 1st.

Houston Dynamo
A year after finishing as the runner-up for the MLS MVP award, Dynamo midfielder Brad Davis finished fourth in this year's voting. San Jose Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski won the league's top honor in a landslide, garnering a combined percentage of 259.07% of the votes. That number is out of 300% when you add the percentage of votes that came from the clubs, players and media. Davis finished behind Red Bulls striker Thierry Henry and Sporting KC midfielder Graham Zusi.
PLAYER | % Club Votes | % Media Votes | % Player Votes | WEIGHTED TOTAL |
1. Chris Wondolowski (SJ) | 91.23 | 96.97 | 70.83 | 259.03 |
2. Thierry Henry (NY) | 0 | 3.03 | 11.46 | 14.49 |
3. Graham Zusi (SKC) | 3.51 | 0 | 3.13 | 6.64 |
4. Brad Davis (HOU) | 3.51 | 0 | 0 | 3.51 |
He only joined the team in June, but that didn't stop Boniek Garcia from having a huge impact on the Houston Dynamo. Garcia was rewarded for his play Tuesday night, when he was named the 2012 Houston Dynamo Newcomer of the Year as well as the 2012 Houston Dynamo Player's MVP. The Players' MVP award was created this year to honor the Dynamo player who had the biggest impact on his club, as voted on by his teammates.
Although Garcia was not a finalist for any league-wide awards, he is s semifinals for FutbolMLS.com's Latino del Año. Click here to vote for Garcia!
For the third time in five seasons, Bobby Boswell was voted the Houston Dynamo Defender of the Year but the media. Boswell helped the Dynamo record 12 shutouts while playing in 33 regular season games, a high for Dynamo field players. The veteran center back helped stabilize a backline that saw the transfer of U.S. men's national team center back Geoff Cameron to Stoke City in the summer. Although Boswell has been a rock for Houston all season, he will be most remembered for this play against D.C. United:
It's been a memorable year for the Houston Dynamo with many games and moments that will stand the test of time. It was not easy finding one game to honor as the Game of the Year, but here is the one that stood out to us:
There were many viable candidates for the 2012 Houston Dynamo Play of the Year, but one stood out above the rest. Adam Moffat's right-footed bomb in the Eastern Conference semifinal first leg against Sporting KC set the tone for the match and for the Dynamo's run to the MLS Cup Final. Watch the goal below:
There is a lot to look forward to this weekend, with the Dynamo participating in their fourth MLS Cup in seven seasons. As a result, we are happy to share full broadcast details for this weekend.
Matt Pedersen and Glenn Davis will kick things off with Dynamo All-Access Friday night live from LA. The show will air on SportsTalk 790 at 7-9 p.m. CT. Matt and Glenn will break down Saturday's match as well as interview players and coaches about the match-up.

Charlestown is already brightly lit for the holidays, but that doesn't mean its list of celebrations is about to end.
On Saturday, Charlestown will host its second annual Christmas Parade.
Parks Director Rhonda Davidson said about 20 participants have signed up to be a part of the parade, which is about the same amount of those who participated last year, and the city is still accepting applications for those who would like to join in the fun.
"Our goal is to bring families together and create family memories," Davidson said as to why the city brought the parade back for its second year.
She added that last year the streets were lined with people, and she expects more of the same for Saturday's event.
The parade is expected to leave Charlestown High School at 6 p.m., head down Park Street to Market Street, to the city square before going to High Street and heading back to the high school.
Surrounding the parade will be a host of holiday events, including decorating contests, an ice skating rink at the Charlestown Family Activities Complex and train and carriage rides.
Both the train, the Charlestown Express, and a synthetic ice skating rink are new features that have been added to the city's celebrations.
"We've had great turnouts for the ice skating [and] we built our own [train]," Davidson said. "It was actually made from an airport tug."
She said the express can carry up to 35 people from the Charlestown Family Activities Park past the city's holiday displays. Davidson added the city will continue to use the train year-round for city events.
The city has also set the cost of all of the events — ice skating, train and carriage rides — at $5.
Davidson said that way a family of four can come to the city and do everything in one night and it will cost them $60, which she said is pretty reasonable when compared to other attractions in the region.
In addition to Charlestown's light display in the city square, two other attractions with contests for which has the most holiday spirit.
A new Adopt-a-Lot section of Market Street, between Clark Street and Greenway Park, features local businesses and civic groups that have decorated their areas with Christmas displays, according to the city's website.
City residents can visit the city's website and vote for their favorite display until Sunday.
Judging will also take place for a contest hosted by Charlestown's Beautification Committee.
Charlestown Clerk-Treasurer Donna Coomer, and beautification committee co-chair, said all entries for the home decorating contest must be submitted by 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 13. The houses will be judged after Sunday, Dec. 15.
A form to enter the contest is also available on the city's website and a winner will be chosen from each of the city's four council districts.

Obama Snubbing Israel Again
Is there a reason President Obama refers to the Islamic terrorist organization responsible for chaos in Syria and Iraq as ISIL and not ISIS? Glenn Beck says it's a snub to Israel. ISIS is the northern region of Syria and Iraq, Beck says. "ISIL, adding the 'L' the Levant, means it's all the way into Egypt and it takes all the Palestinian homeland into account. No Israel." Beck elaborates to his staff of The Blaze.com in a recent morning briefing.

This fragrance-free pressed powder applies beautifully, merging perfectly with foundation for a smooth, even finish. The talc-based texture is silky-smooth and feels weightless, making this powder a good option for normal to oily skin types. The soft-matte finish does have a slight sheen, but not enough to make oily skin look greasy.
The shade range offers suitable matches for light to medium-deep skin tones, and all of the colors are recommended.
As for the anti-aging claims, the formula contains some good antioxidants, but they won't remain stable in this type of packaging; each time you open the compact, these delicate ingredients are exposed to the degrading effects of light and air.

This Los Angeles–based independent cosmetics company launched in 1990 and is the brainchild of makeup artist Carol Shaw (Lorac is "Carol" spelled backwards). It is well-publicized that Shaw has a long list of celebrity clients, but then so do all of the other makeup artists who have their own products lines—there are a lot of famous faces that need attention—so that boast is hardly unique. Compared to competitors Bobbi Brown, Trish McEvoy, or Stila, Lorac doesn't offer the same caliber of foundation colors or the array of products, yet most of what's available is impressive. The company holds its own when it comes to blush, eyeshadow, and lipstick. You will find that, for the most part, the older, established products perform better and are more attractive than many of Shaw's latest inventions. In particular, the latest lipstick, lip gloss, concealer, and waterproof mascara are true disappointments. Lorac hasn't done a great job on the innovation and performance side of the business since the last edition of this book, while her competition (particularly Stila and Laura Mercier) continues to consistently impress. There are still plenty of reasons to shop this line, but focus on the long-standing products rather than on what's new.

Ford's Econoline van is better suited for church-mission trips, day-care services, and tool-toting tradesmen than as daily transportation. Minivans such as the Honda Odyssey can comfortable carry up to eight passengers and feature all the creature comforts and safety features expected of a modern conveyance. Even competing full-size vans offer more than the Ford: Chevy and GMC have added new safety features, and Dodge has more safety features, finer build quality, and more cargo space. The onus is now on Ford to catch up with the competition.
Large, versatile, and powerful, the Ford E-Series vans can be configured for a wide variety of work duties, though this aging tradesman staple is losing ground to the competition.
What's Hot
What's Not
This year or this decade? Either way, nothing significant is new.
Don't miss such luxuries as carpeted floors, power locks and windows, a CD player, and an extended-travel gas tank. The aptly named Chateau trim level offers seating for seven including four captains chairs and more room than the last villa you rented. Although leather seating and a CD changer are optional, to get some of the more exciting options available in Econolines--card table, beds, and even plasma TVs--you'll have to look to the aftermarket.

By James Stillerman - Rising super middleweight contender, Edwin La Bomba Rodriquez, 19-0, 14KOs tries to keep his undefeated record intact when he takes on his toughest opponent to date, Will Rosinsky 14-0, 8KOs at the Foxwoods Resort in Mashantucket, Connecticut in a ten round bout on October 21st which will be televised on Showtime. This will be Rodriquez`s third bout this year. The other two fights he emerged victorious, winning a unanimous ten round decision over Aaron Pryor Jr. 16-4, 11KOs. In his last bout and his first fight since having shoulder surgery, he destroyed Iraq War veteran, Chris Traietti 10-3, 6KOs, whom he punished for two rounds after which Traietti quit on his stool because he had broken ribs, curtsey of Rodriquez`s punching power. I would only give myself a B for that fight against Traietti, said Rodriquez. Yes, I did obtain the victory and did so in dominating fashion; however I felt there were some things that I need to work on including having a better jab and using my combinations more often. The hard working orthodox pugilist is never satisfied with his performance in the ring and is always trying to get better and better for each fight. All of Rodriquez`s hard work, dedication and goal driven mentality is a significant reason behind him moving up the ranks in the super middleweight division. He is ranked in the top 15 by four major world boxing organizations: number 6 by the WBC, 8 by the IBF and WBA and number 12 by the WBO. In addition to his victory over Pryor Jr., he had a technical knockout win over James McGirt Jr. 22-3 11KOs in the ninth round and in the process garnered the vacant WBC and USNBC Super Middleweight Belt. Rodriquez has won almost every round he has fought in. I am extremely happy with what I have been able to accomplish so far in my career and I am right where I want to be, said Rodriquez. I am ranked high in a couple of major boxing organizations and after fighting two or three more top ten fighters, I will be ready to fight for a world title eliminator by the middle of next year and then a world title fight by the end of next year. Nevertheless, despite the Worcester, Massachusetts native`s early success, thus far in his professional career and his desire to have significant fights within the next couple of months, he is solely focused for his upcoming fight with Rosinsky. I am having a great training camp and everything is going real well. I am not taking Rosinsky lightly at all because he is a great all around fighter, he is undefeated and he has had an outstanding amateur career where he won the 2005 Light Heavyweight U.S.A. Amateur Champion and was a four time New York Golden Gloves Champion. I know he can box, however I am going to be more than ready on October 21st to beat him, said Rodriquez. Rodriquez is sparring with Chad Bad Dawson in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania where Dawson is training for his showdown with Bernard Hopkins on Showtime on October 15 for the WBC light heavyweight title. Rodriquez is gaining invaluable exposure and experience from this former world champion fighter, which will benefit him as he moves up this weight class. When he enters the ring on October 21st Ronnie Shields will be in Rodriquez`s corner for the second time, replacing longtime trainer, Peter Manfredo Sr. who was with him since he turned professional in January 2008, when he knocked out Samuel Ortiz in the first round. Manfredo Sr. was a great trainer, but my manager, trainer and I all felt there were certain things in my boxing game that needed to be addressed and they were not being fixed, so we felt we needed to make a change, said Rodriquez. Shields is a great trainer and is teaching me the fundaments of the sport. I respect and trust him and have a great deal of confidence that he can correct some of my flaws in my fight game and make me one of the best fighters in the sport. The 26 year old six foot, Rodriquez is no stranger to success. He had a prolific amateur career where he garnered an impressive 84-9 record. His amateur career was highlighted by winning the USA Boxing National Light Heavyweight Champion in 2005 and then the following year, he won the National Golden Gloves Champion at 165 pounds. He had an extremely good chance at obtaining a spot on the United States Olympic Boxing team; however when his fiancée, Stephanie Rapa had two twins, Edwin Jr. and Serena Lynn, they were born prematurely and had other medical complications (which have since went away). It dashed his dreams of making the team as he turned professional, as a way to provide for his family during those difficult times. The super middleweight division is the best division in boxing and I want to prove to everyone that I belong in this division. I want to be a household name and to do that I have to fight the best and that is what I tend to do. Next year I am willing to fight Bute, Froch, Ward, Kessler, among others. It does not matter who my manager, Larry Amy or promoter, Lou Dibella put in front of me I will fight them, said Rodriquez. Look for 2012 to be an important year for La Bomba as he competes against the best the division has to offer and makes his way to the top of the super middleweight division, as this journey to become the best fighter in the weight class continues on October 21st against Rosinsky. A special thanks to Bob Trieger for facilitating this interview and to Edwin Rodriquez for taking time out of his busy training camp to allow me to interview him.

(Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus; Juvenile-Onset Diabetes; Ketosis-Prone Diabetes; "Brittle" Diabetes; Diabetes Mellitus Type 1; Diabetes, Type 1)
En Español (Spanish Version) More InDepth Information on This Condition
Type 1 diabetes is when the body does not make enough insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body convert food into energy. Without insulin, glucose (sugar) from the food you eat cannot enter cells. So glucose builds up in the blood. Your body tissue becomes starved for energy.
Type 1 diabetes usually begins in children and young adults. Over the long-term, if type 1 diabetes is not adequately treated, high blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels, heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, and other tissues.
* CausesMost cases of type 1 diabetes are caused by the body's immune system attacking and destroying cells that make insulin. These cells are in the pancreas. The current theory is that some people have genes that make them prone to getting type 1 diabetes. For these people, certain things in the environment may trigger an immune system attack on the pancreas. The trigger or triggers have yet to be identified, but may be certain viruses, foods, chemicals, or drugs.
Some studies suggest that enterovirus infection—which is common and usually causes diarrhea and fever with or without rash—may contribute to the development of diabetes in some children. Children with relatively high birth weights are more likely to get diabetes than are those with lower weights.
The Pancreas

These factors increase your chance of developing type 1 diabetes. Tell your doctor if you have any of these risk factors:
If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to type 1 diabetes. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. Tell your doctor if you have any of these:
Destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic cells may occur so quickly that ketoacidosis (commonly known as diabetic coma) is the first sign of a problem. Symptoms of ketoacidosis include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical and family history, and perform a physical exam.
Type 1 diabetes is diagnosed based on the results of blood tests and other criteria. These include:
*mg/dL = milligrams per deciliter of blood, mmol/L = millimole per liter of blood
Some children may be tested for insulin levels or anti-pancreas antibodies to confirm the diagnosis.
* TreatmentDiabetes treatment aims to maintain blood sugar at levels as close to normal as possible. Regular medical care is important for preventing or delaying complications.
InsulinInsulin injection replaces the natural insulin the pancreas would normally produce. The dosage is adjusted based on results of blood sugar tests before meals and at bedtime. You will need to have insulin shots two, three, or more times daily. Or you may wear an insulin pump that continually gives you a small amount of insulin. The pump connects to tubing and a small needle or catheter under the skin.
PramlintideAmylin is made in the pancreas like insulin. In people with type 1 diabetes, this hormone is lacking, also like insulin. Researchers think that the post-meal glucose rise in people with type 2 diabetes is somehow related to the amylin deficiency. The drug pramlintide (Symlin) may be used when insulin therapy is insufficient to adequately control blood sugar.
DietIf you have type 1 diabetes, you should meet regularly with a registered dietician. Generally speaking, it is best to:
Exercise is encouraged when blood sugar levels are consistently under control and there are no complications. Follow your doctor's advice on activity levels and restrictions. You may need to adjust your insulin regimen or diet to compensate for low glucose levels linked to exercise.
Blood Sugar TestingChecking blood sugar levels during the day helps you track the amount of glucose in your blood. Testing is easy with a blood glucose monitor. You can also ask your doctor about continuous glucose monitoring systems that you wear all day. *¹
Keep a record of the results to show your doctor. Your treatment plan may change based on your test results.
Pancreatic TransplantThis procedure is recommended if you have:
Currently, there is no known way to prevent type 1 diabetes. Researchers are studying immunosuppressive treatments that may benefit high-risk people.

Artist Name: Joseph L. Young |
Title: SPOTLIGHT 46: Blue Lizard |
Date Posted: May 2011 |
Genre: World |
Quad Core PC with 4 GB of RAM and Focusrite Saffire Pro 12 interface, running Windows 7 and Cakewalk SONAR 8.5 Producer Edition; dbx 386 preamp; Alesis M1 Active and Alesis 320USB Monitors; AKG C1000 mic on Native American Flute and two AKG C1000s on acoustic guitar; Korg M50 keyboard workstation; egg shaker.
"Blue Lizard" is a "World" music styled instrumental. Joe wrote, performed and recorded it at his home studio, playing the Native American flute and synth, with Matt Roos playing the acoustic guitar.
We love the sound of the acoustic guitar as it drives the track without compression or string artifact. This, combined with the smoothly tracked (and superbly played) Native flute, creates a "world" meets Jethro Tull vibe that really works.
We also need to recognize Joseph for keeping his "nature" sounds mixed at a volume that blends with, and supports, the track during the breakdown section. This is an area where many of us would fall into the "hey, this is cool, let's crank it up" trap, thereby tossing the entire mix out of balance. Good on ya for the restraint, Joseph!
Too often in our "more, newer, faster" society, simplicity of craft goes unrewarded. With that in mind, let's hear it for the little guys!
Summary: Tasty indeed.

In what Obama administration officials called the most significant progress in years, Iran and six world powers concluded the first round of talks on Iran's nuclear program since Iranian president Hassan Rouhani ascended to power in August.
The talks, which ended Wednesday night in Geneva, were "productive" and useful, despite the lack of any major breakthroughs, U.S. and European said.
"I've been doing this now for about two years, and I have never had such intense, detailed, straightforward, candid conversations with the Iranian delegation before," a senior Obama administration official told reporters in Geneva.
The discussions took place in English, which had never occurred before, the official noted.
Senior U.S. and Iranian officials also met on their own, without their European counterparts, something that hasn't happened in four years. All parties agreed to meet again in three weeks.
Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif had met last month at the United Nations and announced that the negotiations on Iran's nuclear program would restart.
The Iranians are seeking a deal that allows them to continue to enrich uranium for energy production and peaceful means, at not more than 20 percent, and an end to the crippling sanctions that have put the country on the brink of financial ruin. President Obama has repeatedly said a nuclear-armed Iran would be unacceptable to the United States and to the world.
The United States wants international inspectors to have unfettered access to Iran's nuclear sites and more transparency from the regime about how far its enrichment program is progressing. Iran, particularly under Rouhani's predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, was consistently accused of misleading or deceiving the international community about the nature of its nuclear program.
Obama has also said the United States will continue taking a "dual track" policy with Iran, which entails maintaining sanctions, even while negotiations occur, until Iran can prove it is not seeking to build a nuclear weapon. For its part, Iran has not offered to halt its program while negotiations are ongoing.
"The key challenge facing diplomacy is how to sequence concessions," says Cliff Kupchan, the director of Eurasia's Middle East program. "Iran wants sanctions relief up front, while the U.S. insists on significant constraints on Iran's program from the outset. The sides still need to square that circle."
Still, that all parties have agreed to meet again is a sign that there was enough progress to continue to keep the talks going. Iranian officials have stated publicly that they would like a deal within the year.
U.S. officials wouldn't characterize whether such a timeline is realistic but did say that the Iranians seem more serious about a real proposal than in years past.
"There is more work, much more work to do," the senior official said. "This is a beginning. Beginnings are rarely groundbreaking because you are putting pieces on the table."
But analyst Kupchan says that the next meeting will need to have a tangible breakthrough to hold off members of the Senate who want to impose more sanctions on Iran, and hardliners who might grow restless with waiting for the international community to ease sanctions.
"Given the long history of failed Iran-U.S. diplomacy," he said, "neither side's elites will wait long for results."

On ag subsidies, by Pete from Baltimore:I think that one of the biggest obstacles to reform is not one particular party ,but the simple fact that Iowa votes first in the primaries.
My view is: perhaps they did. The argument is that the Koch Brothers and others of their ilk now think that they bought and paid for the Republican Party--and in the primaries they are largely right. But money is much less influential in presidential elections, and so the minus effect on candidate quality in the primaries outweighs the positive effects of more money in the general election.
Many people have serious misconceptions about who Ron Paul is and what he stands for. In a riveting video on the Jay Leno show, to a wildly enthusiastic audience, Ron Paul explains his position on numerous subjects.
Julie Appleby has an important article listing all the cuts states are making in their health-care programs to deal with the recession. Among them:
Yves here. This post continues Kenneth Thomas's discussion of an important but oft-neglected topic: that of the stealth subsidies to the rich and connected that take place via economic development projects.
Truly we live in the age of wonders. A new set of economic development tax credits made it to the floor of the Iowa House on a Friday — and failed. It's a wonder that they actually showed up on a Friday — and to reject corporate welfare, to boot.
OTTAWA — They stormed onto the federal political scene in 1993 under the battle cry of "The West Wants In," ready to raise a bit of hell within the Ottawa political establishment. More than two decades after those 52 original Reform party MPs arrived in the nation's capital and redefined the federal Conservative movement, only a half-dozen remain — and their ranks will dwindle yet again with the next election. Backbench Conservative MP Garry Breitkreuz, one of the original Reformers, announced recently that he won't run in the 2015 federal campaign.
The modern primary system for determining presidential nominees we take for granted nowadays began in earnest in the 1970s. For the Republicans, it really started in 1976 when Ronald Reagan challenged President Ford.

Article ID: 132044 - View products that this article applies to. This article was previously published under Q132044 On This PageSUMMARY
This article supplements the information covered in the following article
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
This article discusses the advantages and mechanics of using
_declspec(dllimport) and _declspec(dllexport) in your application.
INFO: __export Replaced By __declspec in Visual C++ 32-bit
The 32-bit edition of Visual C++ uses _declspec(dllimport) and
_declspec(dllexport) to replace the __export keyword previously used in
16-bit versions of Visual C++.
You do not need to use _declspec(dllimport) for your code to compile correctly, but doing so allows the compiler to generate better code. The compiler is able to generate better code because it knows for sure whether a function exists in a DLL or not, so the compiler can produce codes that skip a level of indirection that would normally be present in a function call that crossed a DLL boundary. With the proper .DEF file EXPORTS section, _declspec(dllexport) is not required. _declspec(dllexport) was added to provide an easy way to export functions from an .EXE or .DLL without using a .DEF file. The remainder of this article provides a fairly low-level, thorough discussion of these issues. The Win32 Portable Executable format is designed to minimize the number of pages that must be touched to fix imports. To do this, it places all the import addresses for any program in one place called the Import Address Table. This allows the loader to modify only one or two pages when accessing these imports. Using _declspec(dllimport) for Function CallsIn the following code example, assume func1 is a function that resides in a DLL separate from the .EXE file that contains the main() function.Without _declspec(dllimport), given this code:
0x40000000: jmp DWORD PTR __imp_func1 Therefore, using _declspec(dllimport) is better because it is better if the linker does not generate a thunk if it does not have to. Thunks make the code larger (on RISC systems, it can be several instructions) and can degrade your cache performance. If you tell the compiler the function is in a DLL, it can generate an indirect call for you. So now this code:
On the other hand, for function calls inside a DLL, you don't want to have to use an indirect call. You already know a function's address. Time and space are required to load and store the address of the function before an indirect call, so a direct call is always faster and smaller. You only want to use __declspec(dllimport) when calling DLL functions from the outside the DLL itself. Don't use __declspec(dllimport) on functions inside a DLL when building that DLL. Using _declspec(dllexport)Microsoft introduced __export in the 16-bit compiler version to allow the compiler to generate the export names automatically and place them in a .LIB file. This .LIB file could then be used just like a static .LIB to link with a DLL.Microsoft added __declspec(dllexport) to continue this convenience. Its purpose is to add the export directive to the object file so you don't need a .DEF file. This convenience is most apparent when trying to export decorated C++ function names. There is no standard specification for name decoration, so the name of an exported function may change between compiler versions. If you use _declspec(dllexport), recompiling the DLL and dependent .EXE files is necessary only to account for any naming convention changes. Many export directives such as ordinals, NONAME, or PRIVATE, can be made only in a .DEF file, and there is no way to specify these attributes without a .DEF file. However, using _declspec(dllexport) in addition to using a .DEF file does not cause build errors. As a reference, search through the Win32 WINBASE.H header file. It contains examples of preferred __declspec(dllexport) and __declspec(dllimport) usage. Using _declspec(dllexport) and _declspec(dllimport) on DataIn the case of data, using _declspec(dllimport) is a convenience item that removes a layer of indirection. When you import data from a DLL, you still have to go through the import address table. In the Win32 days before _declspec(dllimport), this meant you had to remember to do an extra level of indirection when accessing data exported from the DLL:
To export the data automatically from the DLL, use this declaration:
Using a .DEF FileIf you choose to use __declspec(dllimport) along with a .DEF file, you should change the .DEF file to use DATA in place of CONSTANT to reduce the likelihood that incorrect coding will cause a problem:
Keyword Emits in the import lib Exports CONSTANT __imp_ulDataInDll ulDataInDll __ulDataInDll DATA __imp_ulDataInDll ulDataInDll If you use CONSTANT, either of the following code constructs could be used to access the ulDataInDll:
The Current Visual C++ linker issues a warning if it sees CONSTANT in the .DEF file to account for this case. The only real reason to use CONSTANT is if you can't recompile some object file where the header file didn't list dllimport on the prototype. REFERENCES
The Visual C++ Books Online provide a substantial amount of documentation
on the dllexport and dllimport storage-class attributes. This includes
"The dllexport and dllimport Attributes" and the "Using dllimport and
dllexport in C++" topics in the "Microsoft-Specific Modifiers" chapter of
the C++ Language Reference, and the "Exporting Symbols" topics in the
"Creating DLLs for Win32" chapter of the Programming Techniques reference.
For a thorough listing related topics, search the Books Online for
"dllimport" or "dllexport".
