Colonia Roma, also called La Roma or simply, Roma, is a district located in the Cuauhtémoc borough of Mexico City just west of the city's historic center, and in fact is no longer a single colonia (neighborhood) but now two officially defined ones, Roma Norte and Roma Sur, divided by Coahuila street.[2] Currently Roma is known for being the epicenter of hipster subculture in the city, and rivals Polanco as the center of the city's culinary scene. Besides residential buildings, the neighborhood streets are lined with restaurants, bars, clubs, shops, cultural centers, churches and galleries.[3] Many are housed in former French-style mansions dating from the Porfiriato period at the beginning of the 20th century. Roma was designated as a "Barrio Mágico" ("magical neighborhood") by the city in 2011.[4]

The area was a very shallow part of Lake Texcoco, dotted with tiny islands and one small island village of Aztacalco during the pre-Hispanic period. During the colonial period, the area dried up and became rural lands first owned by Hernán Cortés and then by the Counts of Miraville. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this area west of what was Mexico City proper was being turned into "modern" colonias for the wealthy seeking to escape the deterioration of city center. The colonia's height as an "aristocratic" and "European" enclave was from its founding in the 1900s until about the 1940s. However, wealthy residents began to move to newer neighborhoods as early as the 1940s and problems associated with urbanization began to appear in the 1950s. Older mansions began to give way to modern commercial buildings in the 1960s and 1970s as the deterioration became more serious. The 1985 Mexico City earthquake caused widespread destruction in the colonia, especially to newer and more commercial and apartment buildings, even causing one major development to mostly disappear. Since then, there have been efforts to conserve the area's architectural heritage and regain some of its former prestige with some success.
The boundaries of the district are marked by the following streets: Avenida Chapultepec to the north, Avenida Alvaro Obregon, Eje 4 Sur Benjamin Franklin, Antonio M. Anza and Viaducto Miguel Alemán to the south, Avenida Cuauhtémoc and Jalapa Street to the east and Avenida Insurgentes and Avenida Veracruz to the west. Avenida Coahuila being the dividing line between Roma Norte and Roma Sur.[5]
Colonia Roma is a mixed use zone (residential/office) divided into three zones: Roma Norte east of Avenida de los Insurgentes - where the vast majority of the hippest restaurants, bars, clubs, etc. are found. It is home to about 1,100 mansions and other architecturally and historically important structures, mostly built between 1906 and 1939. Most of these are no longer residences but rather offices, cultural centers and other businesses. Examples of these adaptations include the Casa Lamm Cultural Center, the Casa Universitaria del Libro, the main building of the Universidad de Londres and the various art galleries which are mostly found on Colima Street.
West of Insurgentes the area has fewer landmark buildings, although the landmark Fuente de Cibeles is located here. South of Avenida Coahuila, Colonia Roma Sur consists of smaller, mostly single-family dwellings, fewer offices and modern, taller buildings having replaced them.
The colonia was an exclusive area for the wealthy on the edge of the city when it was built in the very early 20th century. It declined from the mid 20th century to nearly the end of the same, but it has revived somewhat as a Bohemian area with restaurants, art galleries, offices and more. Today, the area attracts younger generations of artists, writers and urban hipsters, with rents rising once again.[6]
Most of the streets are quiet and lined with large, leafy trees, mostly how they were laid out when the colonia was built.[6] The largest street is Avenida Álvaro Obregón, whose traffic islands have large trees, walking paths and metal benches. On weekends, these islands fill with vendors selling art, antiques and collectibles.[6] However, this and other of the larger streets such as Oaxaca, Querétaro and San Luis Potosí, were designated as "ejes" or axis streets in the 1950s for through traffic.[7]
Along with the tree lined streets, green spaces were also created with the addition of small parks called plazas. The old heart of the neighborhood is the Plaza Rio de Janeiro, originally called Plaza Roma. This plaza is surrounded by a number of old mansions as well as a couple a tall modern towers. In the center, there is a fountain and a replica of Michelangelo's David. One mansion that faces this plaza is popularly called the La Casa de las Brujas (House of the Witches) although its official name is the Edificio Rio de Janeiro. The popular name of this red-brick castle-like structure, built in 1908, comes from the face that seems to be formed by the windows on the top of the corner tower and the Art Deco entrance, which was added in the 1930s. The Plaza Luis Cabrera is on the corner of Guanajuato and Orizaba Streets. It was the setting for part of a short story called "La batallas en el desierto" by José Emilio Pacheco.[6]
While there have been efforts to restore the area's reputation as aristocratic and upscale, the area still has problems associated with deterioration. There are a number of cabarets and men's clubs, which have attracted and sustained prostitution in the area.[8] There are still unmaintained and abandoned buildings in which live squatters and other very poor people. Since the 1990s, there was a small poor community of about 35 Otomi in the colonia, living in abject poverty. Most earned money and depend on community soup kitchens. Most live as squatters in abandoned buildings.[9]
Roma is one of a number of "modern" colonias such as Colonia Juárez, Santa María la Ribera and Colonia San Rafael, which were built on what was the western edge of the city in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for wealthy residents looking to escape the city center. The streets and houses were designed and built based on European styles, which can still be seen today, especially on Orizaba, Alvaro Obregon, Colima and Tonalá Streets, where the older facades are best conserved. These were homes of bankers, factory owners, politicians, artists and businessmen who worked in the city center but lived here.[10][8] Like its sister colonias, Roma has since lost many of its original mansion homes, but it has resisted this loss better. Today, there are an estimated 1,100 structures which date from the 1930s or earlier, compared to the 500 to 600 the remain in Santa María la Ribera and Colonia Juárez.[8] Most of the area's historically and architecturally significant structures were built between 1906 and 1939.[11] These earlier structures include examples of Neo-colonial (which imitate the styles built during Mexico's colonial period) and Art Deco, but most are "Porfirian," meaning that they are a mix of French, Roman, Gothic and Moorish elements which were all fashionable in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[8] One of these old mansions is the home of television personality Paco Stanley, who says he bought the structure because of its "small friendly ghosts," naming it "La Princesita" or The Little Princess. Stanley uses the property both as living space and office.[12] These houses and streets have provided the backdrop for films such as Los Olvidados, filmed in La Romita by Luis Buñuel and literary works such as Batallas en el desierto by José Emilio Pacheco, Agua Quemada by Carlos Fuentes, Manifestacion de Silencios by Arturo Azuela and El Vampiro de la Colonia Roma by Luis Zapata .[13]
However, the colonia now also has a large number of more modern structures, defined as having been built since the 1950s. These structures came to replace many of the original structures as the character of the colonia changed, along with the lack of urban planning, zoning and the destruction caused by the 1985 earthquake.[8] Owners of many of the older structures have had or have wanted to demolish or radically change them for economic reasons, a process which still persists today.[13] In cases where they have succeeded, modern office and apartment buildings have appeared. Not only are these structures taller and markedly different in design,[8] they also weigh more, affecting the ground around them and causing damage to remaining earlier structures.[14]
While the older mansions are no longer economically viable as residences, there has been efforts since the 1990s to save them, by converting them into offices, stores, restaurants and other businesses with restrictions aimed at conserving their facades and the colonia's overall character.[8][13] Like neighboring Colonia Condesa, Roma has a number of cafes, restaurants and other eateries established in older structures (as well as newer ones), especially along Álvaro Obregón, Colima, and Orizaba streets, and on plazas Río de Janeiro and Luis Cabrera.
La Romita[edit]
La Romita is a small section of Roma which used to be an independent village and colonia and whose streets are still significantly different from the rest of Roma. The territory of modern Colonia Roma in pre-Hispanic times consisted of the very shallow waters of Lake Texcoco and a number of very small islands of firm ground, on one of which stood the village of Aztacalco. It was an independent village until the very early 20th century, when it was made its own colonia in 1903 with the name of La Romita.[5] When Colonia Roma was created, Romita was officially incorporated into it, but the local residents fought redevelopment. The area has since developed semi-independently from the rest of Colonia Roma, both in infrastructure and socially.[6] Even today, the area is relatively difficult to access, with narrow streets leading to a very small plaza and church called Santa María de la Natividad de Aztacalco (established in 1550).[6][5] The local residents were of a significantly lower social class than the rest of Roma, with the wealthy residents avoiding it for fear of thieves. The area still has a reputation for crime and is found at the extreme northeast of the colonia near Metro Cuauhtémoc .[6]
Roma Sur[edit]
East of Insurgentes and south of Coahuila street, Roma Sur is much more traditional than hip Roma Norte. There are many Latin American immigrants here, plus restaurants and shops catering to them. The Mercado Medellín is located here and is famous for Latin American goods and food as well.[15]
Centro Urbano Benito Juárez[edit]
In the far southeast corner of Roma stands the Centro Urbano Benito Juárez, or Multifamiliar Juárez, a very large apartment complex in the 1940s and early 1950s. It was one of several projects of this type by architect Mario Pani, designed to house city government workers and to be semi-autonomous with its own schools, administration, businesses etc.[16] and incorporate as much outdoors space as possible.[17] Carlos Mérida's mural work here was the most important of his career and the largest mural project in Mexico in the 20th century.[18] Most of the complex and murals were destroyed by, or demolished after the 1985 Mexico City earthquake.[19] Most the land where the demolished buildings stood has become the Jardín Ramón López Velarde park.[20]
The 2010 population of Roma Norte was 27,770 and of Roma Sur 17,406. The 2000 population of Roma Norte was 26,610 and of Roma Sur 17,406.[21]
Since the 1990s, there was a small poor community of about 35 Otomi in the colonia, living in abject poverty. Most earned money and depend on community soup kitchens. Most live as squatters in abandoned buildings.[9]
Jewish community in Roma and Condesa[edit]
In the 1930s and 40s many Jewish residents moved from downtown Mexico City to Roma and Condesa, where Yiddish was the unofficial language of Parque México, the local park. Today, in the area, there is a Jewish museum, archives, synagogue, and kosher deli at Acapulco Street #70 in Roma Norte, several more small orthodox synagogues hidden inside houses on Amsterdam Avenue, and another synagogue at the corner of Montes de Oca and Parral streets.[22] In the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, Jews moved further west to Polanco, Lomas de Chapultepec, Interlomas, Bosques de las Lomas, and Tecamachalco, where the majority are now based.[23]

Roma is home to free-standing Palacio de Hierro and Woolworth department stores. Enclosed malls include the Galérias Insurgentes shopping center, anchored by Sears; and on Cuauhtémoc street both the Plaza Centro Cultural and Pabellón Cuauhtémoc. The Parque Delta shopping center borders Roma on the south.
Restaurant scene[edit]
Many top chef-driven restaurants are located in Roma including two in the "Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants" list by San Pellegrino: Máximo Bistrot (chef Eduardo "Lalo" García); and Rosetta by chef Elena Reygadas.[24] Other celebrated restaurants are Fonda Fina by chef Jorge Vallejo of Quintonil); Delirio and Casa Virginia by chef Monica Patino;[25] Huset by Maycoll Calderon; and Cocina Conchita and La Docena for seafood.[26]
The Mercado Roma, not a traditional public market but rather an upscale food hall, unites some of the city's diverse, upscale culinary offerings under one roof and was the first of an ever-expanding number of food halls in the city;[27]while converted mansions such as Casa Quimera, Purveyor, Colima 256,[28] Durango 216,[29] Blanco Colima and Roma Quince offer a variety of restaurants, quality fast food, art, hip artisanal products and services in different rooms of the mansions.
Public markets[edit]
Mercado Medellín is located in Roma Sur (southern Roma) and is well-known for offering products from other Latin American countries, particularly Cuba, Colombia and Venezuela.
Arts and culture[edit]
Colima Street is home to a number of art galleries which have worked since the 1990s to establish themselves as an international art market to compete with New York, Paris, London and Tokyo. These galleries include the Landucci Gallery. Artists such as Mexican photographer Victor Carresquedo and American Barry Wolfryd have set up shop in the area as well as the Centro Libre de Arte, Mexico City's newest fine arts school. The goal is to promote Mexican art from its current status as regionally relevant to one with broader appeal, by not only promoting native artists more effectively at home but also by sponsoring international tours, featuring established artists such as Francisco Toledo, Roberto Márquez and Alfredo Castaneda as well as newer talents such as Cisco Jimenez and Guillermo Kuitca. The area is also attracting South American and Central American artists looking to break into the U.S. and world art markets.[30]
Stage and cinema[edit]
The Centro Cultural (formerly Telmex) theater complex is located in the northeast corner of Roma, while Cine Tonalá is a well-known indie/art-house cinema in Roma Sur with a sister venue in Bogotá, Colombia.[31] Cinemex multiplex cinemas are located in three enclosed shopping centers around Roma.[32]
Museums and libraries[edit]
Casa Lamm[edit]
The best known landmark in the district is the Casa Lamm.[6][33] La Casa Lamm was a project to rehabilitate one of the old mansions which was supported by local authorities.[10] Today, it is a cultural center and restaurant located in a restored mansion that dates to 1911 on Alvaro Obregon Street. The institute consists of art exhibition space and management, some graduate level programs in the fine arts and a restaurant and bookstore, which are open to the public. Since it opened, it has hosted numerous art exhibitions.[6] In 1994, Casa Lamm, along with art galleries OMR and Nina Menocal have worked to make Roma a center for the visual arts in Mexico, attracting more galleries, artists and others to set up shop here.[33]
The institute offers studies in poetry, novel writing and theater of the 20th century. It also offers a master's degree in Literary Appreciation and Creation, which combines both classes on criticism as well as workshops for writers mostly focusing on Latin American and European works.[34] On the ground floor of the building, facing the street are the bookstore and restaurant.[6] The restaurant, called "Nueve Nueve" is centered on an open-air patio accented by a black fountain.[35]
Casa Universitaria del Libro[edit]
The Casa Universitaria del Libro (University House of Books) is located on Puebla and Orizaba Streets. The building dates from 1920, when it was built by Joaquin Barando for the McGregor family. During the Second World War it was used as the Brazilian embassy. The Centro Asturiano took possession in the 1930s. When this institution moved to Polanco in 1986, it began to lease the building free to the Universidad Autónoma de México (UNAM) .[5][36] Although unproven, it is still rumored that the house was used for prostitution at one point and there is also local legend which states that a ghosts wanders through its halls, rooms and especially in the terrace.[36] The bookstore specializes in the promotion of mostly written works produced by those associated with UNAM in the center of the city away from the Ciudad Universitaria. It sponsors approximately 250 activities per year such as book readings and signings, conferences, seminars and round tables. There is no other bookstore in Mexico dedicated solely to the promotion of a university's academic and literary production.[36]
Museo Objeto del Objeto[edit]
Museo Objeto del Objeto (Object of the Object Museum or MODO) was inaugurated in 2010, following Mexico City's tradition of collectors founding or expanding museums with their personal collections. This museum is based on the collection of ordinary objects such as commercial packaging (especially beverage containers), advertisements, household appliances and more for a total of over 30,000 items collected by Bruno Newman over more than forty years. The museum is dedicated to communication and design, using the collection as a starting point for collaboration and research.[37][38]
The Sagrada Familia Church is located on the corner of Puebla and Orizaba Streets. Its architecture is classified as Romanesque Revival and Gothic Revival,it was designed by Mexican architect Manuel Gorozpe. The first stone was laid in 1906, but most of structure was built between 1910 and 1912, of reinforced concrete. At the time, the church was criticized as "mediocre, ostentatious and of decadent taste". In the 1920s, painter and Jesuit priest Gonzalez Carrasco decorated the interior with murals, with two smaller paintings realized by Hermano Tapia. The interior also contains the remains of Miguel Agustín Pro, a Jesuit priest executed by Plutarco Elias Calles in 1927 during the Cristero War and considered to be a martyr. The church is fronted by a small atrium bordered by a wrought-iron fence constructed by the Gábelich workshop, which was in neighboring Colonia Doctores. It is one of the few wrought iron works to survive from the early 20th century.[39]
On Avenida Cuauhtémoc between Querétaro and Zacatecas streets is the Nuestra Señora del Rosario Church, which was built by Mexican architects Angel and Manuel Torres Torija. This church is Gothic Revival begun in 1920 and concluded in 1930. While built after the Porfirio Díaz era of the late 19th and early 20th century, the church shares many of the features as churches from that time. Records indicate that the project was probably planned around 1911 but was delayed due to the Mexican Revolution. The facade contains a decorative rose window, common to Gothic styles with ojival doors and windows. The interior is spacious with three naves with notable stained glass windows with orient themselves vertically.[39]
Parks and recreation[edit]
The neighborhood contains small public squares at Plaza Luis Cabrera, Plaza Río de Janeiro, Plaza Villa de Madrid (better known as "Cibeles"), and tiny Plaza Juan Rulfo. Two full-size parks are Jardín Pushkin and Jardín Ramón López Velarde, while there are pocket parks at Jardín Edith Sánchez Ramírez and at the corner of Querétaro and Tonalá streets. Avenida Alvaro Obregon has a pedestrian median (camellón) lined with gardens and fountains with characters from Roman and Greek mythology.[40]
In addition to the educational programs at the Casa Lamm and the Casa Universitaria del Libro, Roma has a number of private educational institutions from primary school to university. Some, such as the Instituto Pedagogico Anglo Espanol, the Instituto Renacimiento and the Colegio Mexico have been established since the first half of the 20th century.[10]
There are two universities based in Roma. The Universidad de Londres is a mostly business college. Its main campus is in Colonia Roma, but it also has eight other facilities in other parts of Mexico City and three in other parts of Mexico. The Roma campus is housed in one of the palatial mansions from the Porfirian era on Orizaba street. It offers twenty bachelor's degrees, eight master's and eight certificate programs.[41]
The Universidad de las Américas de la Ciudad de México (UDLA) was founded in 1940 as the Mexico City Junior College (MCC). In the 1960s, its name changed to the University of the Americas and shortly thereafter to the current one. It was founded in Colonia Roma but moved to a facility on the Mexico City-Toluca highway. When the institution split in the 1980s, one campus moved to Puebla and the other moved to the current location back in Colonia Roma in newly built facilities.[42] UDLA offers seven bachelor's degrees, four graduate degrees and various certificate programs. It is located in a modern facility on Puebla Street.[43]
Colegio Amado Nervo is a private school in Colonia Roma Sur.[44]
The Colegio Liceo Mexicano, a private elementary school, is in Colonia Roma.[45] Several other small public and private school and universities exist in the area.
The neighborhood has public bus, Metrobus bus rapid transit, pesero (minibus), trolleybus and metro (subway/underground) service, as well as EcoBici bikeshare stands. Metro stations are all at the edges of the neighborhood and include Sevilla, Insurgentes, Cuauhtémoc, Centro Médico, and Chilpancingo.
Roma is bordered or crossed by several ejes viales (main crosstown arteries, mostly one-way): 1 Sur (two-way, Chapultepec), 2 Sur (eastbound, Yucatán/Querétaro/San Luis Potosí), 1 Poniente (two-way, Cuauhtémoc), 2 Poniente (northbound, Monterrey), and 3 Poniente (southbound, Yucatán/Medellín). The southern boundary of the neighborhood is the Viaducto Miguel Alemán freeway.[46]

On Tuesday, the voters of Trumbull County can make a change by voting in the election process. Not just nationally but locally as well and one area that would be to improve the Trumbull County court system. A vote for candidate Rob Platt would do just that.
An educated voter is a better voter. Sometimes choosing the best candidate can be tough after looking through all the rhetoric. In the advertisements, when Rob Platt states, "Honesty, Integrity, and Fairness", he means it and it is not just lip service. Rob Platt has the experience as a lawyer to carry out the duties as a judge, but as importantly, he has the character as a person to do so.
So exercise your right to vote on Tuesday. It is a right long afforded to all Americans. One we need to keep. A vote for Rob Platt would give the citizens and/or voters and the Trumbull County court system some needed justice.

Italy? No. Wales!2012-10-03 1 4 Share Tweet
Wales. Land of mountains, sheep, male voice choirs and…an Italian village?! Yes, an Italian village, at least in style. Read on and see the photos to learn all about the wonderful world of Portmeirion.
Just a short drive away from the Welsh town of Porthmadog, hidden away in a forest clearing by golden sands, is a place of magic and wonder. A place of creativity and freedom, yet also a place that has become synonymous with control and imprisonment. That place is Portmeirion.
Designed and built by architect William Clough Ellis, the village was constructed during the Twentieth Century over a number of decades using found materials and original builds. Built partly as a tribute to Italian coastal villages, it has taken on a particularly British feel, mainly down to its typical British eccentricity.
However, alongside the freedom and creativity expressed in the architecture is a darker side, one that represents the modern feeling of being trapped in a world controlled by faceless bureaucrats – The Prisoner. This classic 1960's TV show about a former spy trapped in a place simply known as "The Village" was filmed in Portmeirion. It's what drew me to the village in the first place and it's what continues to draw me back. Alongside the classic Italian colors and styles is a very definite British cool, a true psychedelic 60's feel.
A place such as this can only really be done justice on two cameras in my opinion – the Lomography Spinner 360 and the Lomography Fisheye. I had the Spinner and my girlfriend had the Fisheye. I present my photos here. If you want to see her photos, just search for 'scrappysnaps' at Lomography and I'm sure you'll find them.
In the meantime, enjoy my photos and please do visit Portmeirion if you get the chance. You'll not regret it and you'll never forget it.

A 16th century poleaxe which has been hanging on the wall of a solicitor's office since 1920 has been donated to the Driffield town council.
Blakestons Solicitors closed its doors last week and have donated various historical artefacts to the town council, including receipt books dating back to the 1920's of the Driffield Building Society, whose original home was at the Blakeston's offices in Market Place.
The poleaxe was carried by the Bailiff as a mark of his office as he accompanied the Lord of Manor to the four Little Driffield fairs which were traditionally held on Easter Monday, Whit Monday, 26 August and 19 September. Mr W H Blakeston was the last person to open the fair in Little Driffield in 1919, before the rights were purchased by a group of farmers to hold the fair at where is now Manorfield Road, and it was held there for the final time in 1920. When the fair was at Little Driffield situated on a field at Horsefair, the people of the Wolds villages and farmsteads came to sell their produce and buy various commodities such as clothing, farm implements from chapmen from York and Beverley.
Town Clerk, Mrs Claire Binnington, said: "We were delighted when Nick Hutchings from Blakestons kindly offered us the poleaxe, we will arrange to get it displayed appropriately. Among the papers also donated was a history of Driffield written in 1938, which gives considerable detail to the fairs at Little Driffield, which will be invaluable when producing a history of the poleaxe itself".
The History of Great and Little Driffield was put together by residents studying with the Adult Education Department at the University of Hull from original sources, contributers included many well known Driffield names, such a MKM Wadsworth, J W Randall and W G Stockton.

Oscar Watch: 'Last Station' and 'Up in the Air' land in Dec, 'Transformers' gets awards love
Is anyone surprised that after Awards Campaign lists out all of this year's true Best Picture contenders, a new one enters the fold?
Michael Hoffman's "The Last Station," a drama chronicling the final months in the life of Leo Tolstoy, found a lot of support after its debut at the Telluride Film Festival, but it didn't get the same amount of buzz that films that also hit up Venice and/or Toronto did. The period piece does have it's supporters, however, and now it appears an Awards-qualifying run is in the works. Longtime and respected Envelope Oscar pundit Pete Hammond reports that an unnamed specialty division will distribute the picture in limited release this December and ride possible awards buzz for stars Helen Mirren, Christopher Plummer (as Tolstoy), Paul Giamatti and James McAvoy into wider release in 2010.
It's unclear who will distribute "Station," a deal hasn't formally been announced, but Sony Pictures Classics and Apparition would seem the likely suitors even with their already packed holiday schedules. The only question mark on the picture is director Michael Hoffman, whose track record doesn't necessarily shine with excellence. "Restoration," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "The Emperor's Club," etc. are all pretty uninspired but well constructed Oscar bait films. "Station" seems intriguing, but more people need to see it than those in the the thin air of Colorado before it's taken very seriously.
Speaking of December releases, Overture Films can now officially wipe the sweat off their brow and take a sigh of relief as the battle between George Clooney prestige pics just became a little less intense.
Overture's "Men Who Stare At Goats" has been slotted to open nationwide on Nov. 6. Paramount was considering releasing "Up in the Air" on Nov. 13 with a gradual rollout through Nov. Now, cooler heads have prevailed and "Air" will now officially open in New York and Los Angeles on Dec. 4. The studio expects it to be close to nationwide by Christmas.
Clooney shines in both "Goats" and "Air," but it's certainly not in his best interest for both films to cannibalize their box office prospects. The former Oscar winner is a candidate for a best actor nomination for "Air" and a best supporting nod for "Goats." If both do well, it will only help his cause and we're not just talking for awards season. Considering that many still remember how badly "Leatherheads" did at the box office ("Burn After Reading's" success was attributed to the combo of him and co-star Brad Pitt), two solid hits in a row will give him the clout to continue to make unconventional flicks just like...you guessed it..."Goats" and "Air." Oh, and did we mention Clooney lends his voice to the title character of "The Fantastic Mr. Fox"? Yep, the man keeps busy.
In other news, we warned you that the Hollywood Film Festival was going to be handing out more, um, "awards" and we can now officially confirm Sony Pictures and Paramount Pictures will have premier tables at the Oct. 26 show! This week's announced winners are:
Hollywood Director Award: Kathryn Bigelow, "The Hurt Locker" (Deserved!)
Hollywood Animation Award: Peter Doctor, director of "Up" (Debatable!)
Hollywood Screenwriter Award: Nora Ephron, "Julie & Julia" (Eh, she's still not forgiven for "You've Got Mail" in our book)
Hollywood Visual Effects Awards: Scott Farrar, visual effects supervisor of "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" (even the CG community is like, "Really? The Hollywood Awards?")
Ah, the excitement of fake awards shows. You can just taste the excitement (or at least the bland Beverly Hills Hotel chicken).

• Eighty-six patients underwent 90 profundaplasties for lower extremity ischemia using endarterectomized superficial femoral artery (ESFA) or vein as an arterial patch. Standard length profundaplasty was performed in 60 limbs and extended profundaplasty in 28. Seventy-two were performed for limb salvage and 18 for severe claudication. Fifty-four limbs underwent inflow reconstruction and profundaplasty, while 36 others had profundaplasty alone. Three-year cumulative patency rates were employed to compare the type of autogenous patch material to the profundaplasty length, operative indications, and procedures. In all groups, ESFA performed as well as vein. Endarterectomized superficial femoral artery patch angioplasty provides comparable long-term results to vein patch in patients undergoing profundaplasty, and demonstrates its durability as a vascular patch in situations where autogenous tissue is required or preferred while preserving the saphenous vein for later use.

This article models interactions between basketball teams in order to estimate individual players' offensive production. A theoretical model predicts that, in equilibrium, better offensive players will shoot more often and that all offensive players will average the same number of points per shot. This prediction is tested and found to be consistent with professional basketball data. The model is then used to identify and estimate individual players' offensive production. The estimates correspond to experts' rankings and are stable across teams for players that were traded during the season.

CD Reviews - April 2006
by Kyle O'Brien
Sandan Shuffle, Virginia Mayhew, saxophones. I must say, it is nice to hear more female saxophonists recording these days, especially one like Mayhew, who plays with fluidity and diversity on this debut disc. Her sound is polished as she plays tunes that range from light jazz waltzes to mellow funk tunes and hard bop takes. While this album won't light the jazz world on fire, it shows off a talent deserving to be heard more. She shows influences of Coltrane and Wayne Shorter, especially on soprano, where her tone serves her well on ballads like the plaintive "I Get Along Without You Very Well." Her blues doesn't really inspire, especially the mundane title track whose 7/4 beat feels like a novelty. But her own tunes are nice, especially the "Crescent"-esque "I Thought You Loved Me," where her legato take is pleasing. With a little more focus, Mayhew might just make an impression past just one album. Renma Recordings, 2006; Play Time: 61:19, ***.
Cowboy Justice, Ben Allison, bass. With a title like this, one expects a bit of a renegade sound, shooting from the hip as it were. Bassist Allison's latest disc is a forward thinking album, but its precision belies its freewheeling moniker. Instead, listeners are treated to a textural album with interesting rhythms and nimble lines that are pulled together by Allison's balanced compositional touch. There are elements of Charlie Haden (the loping "Hey Man"), nouveau funk ("Emergency"), and floating Latin rhythms ("Midnight Cowboy"). The liner notes talk politically liberally, attacking the current Washington administration, though you'd never know it by the tone of the tunes. Instead, we get a highly compositional, sophisticated album from one of jazz's rising stars. His new group has wonderful studio communication, with drummer Jeff Ballard, trumpeter Ron Horton, and guitarist Steve Cardenas all speaking the same language. Palmetto Records, 2006; Playing Time: 47:16, ****.
Meaning & Mystery, the Dave Douglas Quintet. Trumpeter Douglas continues to grow musically. The music flows freely, and while the playing is loose, it is not sloppy. Douglas, electric keyboardist Uri Caine, drummer Clarence Penn, and bassist James Genus have been together for six years, and the musical interplay is evident, though tenor man Donny McCaslin is a recent addition. Penn's relaxed percussion fits in with the tenor of the disc, which verges at times on avant garde. It's a blend of hard bop, free-form, compositional musings, and disjunct sounds. One might wonder what Douglas's motivation was for this recording, but his sense of adventure seems to be the driving force. It's nothing terribly new, but it is inspired and a pleasure to hear for those who like their jazz a little outside the lines. Greenleaf Music, 2006; Playing Time: 61:19, ****.
Internet, Charnett Moffett, bass. Moffett is one of those touted young lions who has grown into his promise since his early days with Wynton. He is a monster bassist who can play both upright and electric with equal ease, jumping between hard bop and funk with nary a blink. He is also a fine composer, with the ability to groove and solo like a madman. He is more tempered than his early days, which means he can still work the fretboard with fleet fingers but he knows when to stay mellow and when to push forward. Here he plays all his own compositions, and they all fit his diverse style. The disc starts with a couple of swing tunes, including his "Icon Blues," which, with its bass melody, will remind some of "So What." The more contemporary tunes aren't quite as effective as the more straight ahead numbers. "PTL" is impressive in Moffett's varied voices on acoustic, fretless electric, and piccolo basses, but the mild Caribbean groove is less effective. More compelling is the "Free Raga," which impressively shows off Moffett's quick hands and experimentation with foreign tones, and bleeds into a world music. He's backed by a great band that features Stephen Scott on piano, one of the most underrated keyboardists in the genre. Moffett sings on "Enjoy Your Life" and his voice and lyrics are odd on a tune that sounds like a late Weather Report tune. More interesting is his take on the "Star Spangled Banner," which is highly electric and an obvious ode to Jimi Hendrix's version. The final bonus track, the kickin' "RAS" is a funk groover to the Nth degree. It's not the most fluid album, but it shows off a talent that needs to be heard often. Piadrum Records, 2006; Playing Time: 71:38, ****.
Around and Back, the Hank Hirsh Quintet, Hirsh, saxophones. Hirsh is a relatively new transplant in Oregon. He's a Chicago native who recently moved to Portland. His thing is swing, mostly, which puts him in category with veteran players like Lee Wuthenow and the like. But he also courts calypso, Latin and bits of funk. He possesses an easygoing delivery, and this disc features all original music from Hirsh. The tunes are relatively simple and pleasingly so. They are melodic, and Hirsh, with help from trombonist Rob Boone, play the melodies with a light touch, as on the kick-back "Hip-Lypso." Gary Moran on piano, Fred Hayes on drums and Scott Black on bass all hold everything together, though the rhythm section on rare occasion isn't in the pocket. While Hirsh is a fine player, his tone is slightly pinched and occasionally squeaks ever so slightly. Perhaps a new mouthpiece or reed combo is in the works for him, since he only recently switched to tenor as his main horn from alto, which he plays on the funky "Dirty Henry." It would have been nice to hear Hirsh's son Sam play piano on a tune or two, since the youngster backs him in live settings and is already a solid keyboardist with room to grow. But perhaps that's next on Hirsh's list. Six Perfections Music, 2005; Playing Time: 63:24, ***.
Balance, Michelle Medler Quartet. Saxophonist/flutist Medler has built her reputation as a music educator, first with Wilson High School and then with the lauded Portland Youth Jazz Orchestra groups she leads with her husband, Ben. But she's also quite a good woodwind player, something she displays on this disc. Playing a handful of her own tunes, Medler flows through melodies and solos with the smoothness she obviously relays to her students. She explores the horns on her solos, as her alto's altissimo on "Balance" displays. And she experiments with funk on a new take on "Yesterdays." Occasionally she can be too timid and play it too safe. She sounds like she's holding back on some of her volume and fortitude. She is backed by a familiar crew, including Ben on bass, Marcus Reynolds on keys and Edwin Coleman III on drums, who seem to put her at ease. Still I could use a little more from her. She has a nice tone on all three instruments, but I'm not hearing as much passion as I think she can bring to the table. Still, it's nice to hear her and her tunes on disc. Shoo-wah Records, 2006; Playing Time: 38:18, ***.
Azure, Ben Medler Trio. While he played a backing role on his wife's CD, Ben gets to take the helm on this one. Free from his teaching role, Medler is able to show off his chops on trombone and flugelhorn. He plays with a lovely, clear tone and keeps the melodies simple before launching into solos. Some of the melodies, as on the standard "Indiana," are a little too by-the-book, but he redeems those with fine solos. He even brings out the mutes for the drop-funk arrangement of Ellington's "Blue Pepper (Far East of the Blues). With Dennis Caiazza on bass and Jeff Cumpston on bass, Medler has a solid base for which to place his notes. His own tunes aren't bad either, as on the cool blues of "Rhythm Thing" and the propelling swing of "Terry-cloth." He shows a penchant for lesser known Ellington tunes, which is refreshing, especially the slinky version of the title track. Shoo-wah Records, 2006; Playing Time: 30:57, ***1/2.
Lucky to Be Me, Taylor Eigsti, piano. The title is fitting. Here is a 21 year old pianist who has heavyweights Lewis Nash and Christian McBride on his major label debut album, and has been creating buzz for his amazingly mature playing for years. Now I know why Darrell Grant told me several years ago that he thought this Northern California youngster might just be the next big thing. If this disc is any indication, he has a very promising future. He plays like a much more seasoned player, though in truth, Eigsti has been playing with the big guys for years, having already shared the studio with Marian McPartland, and stages with Dave Brubeck, James Moody, Ernestine Anderson, Alan Broadbent, and Bobby Hutcherson, to name a few. Here we get to hear why he has been such a lauded youth. He plays with precision and feel, his staccato runs accenting his broad chordal knowledge. He's even a terrific composer and arranger, with several of his own tracks on here, including the complex "Argument," backed by another hot rhythm section of Billy Kilson on drums and James Genus on bass, and featuring the guitar work of another young phenom, Julian Lage. Eigsti tackles "Giant Steps" from the get go and nails it while taking a fresh approach. And he funks it up with a stinging version of "Woke Up This Morning," featuring horn blasts. Eigsti should have a long career in jazz. Let's just hope he's not peaking too early. Concord Records, 2006; Playing Time: 59:33, ****1/2.
What Love Is, Erin Boheme, vocals. From the looks of the cover, it seems as though the record label is trying to sell a pretty Cameron Diaz look-alike young vocalist, with her over-makeuped visage all over the CD jacket. The music is a little more substantial, and Boheme's little-girl breathy vocals show an artist who obviously grew up influenced by Billie Holliday, Frank Sinatra and others of earlier eras. She's a decent singer, with good intonation and a good grasp of behind the beat delivery. The disc is full of lush arrangements and retro-sounding tunes, like her own "One Night With Frank," and "What Love Is." She's best when courting the older sounds, like "Teach Me Tonight" and "Let's Do It" by Cole Porter. It's a little unclear where she wants to go with her career though, as she seems to be trying to find her way as a crossover artist, with more modern takes, like "Someone To Love," which is a bit too Norah Jones. She has some impressive players here, like the aforementioned Eigsti, bassist Brian Bromberg and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, but she needs to mature a bit and focus her energies on one side of the musical equation. Concord Records, 2006; Playing Time: 50:53, ***1/2.
Dues in Progress, Keith Oxman, saxophone. I am not familiar with Oxman, but he's obviously a respected player, since Benny Golson did the liner notes for this album. This is a very competent album, with all players doing an admirable job. It's a medium sized ensemble with three horns - Oxman is its center and driving force - with trumpet and trombone lending equal time. Curtis Fuller is the trombone and he is, as usual, a great addition to any ensemble. The problem here is that even well played, these tunes don't really go anywhere and could be the epitome of sterile jazz. Maybe because the production is so clean, the ensemble so tight and calculated that it could just as easily be background music, albeit very good background music. This just sounds like a group of studio musicians getting together for an impromptu session rather than a vibrant recording session. Too bad, because obvious dues have been paid to get to this level of musicianship. Capri Records, 2006; Playing Time: 72:25, ***.
Transformation, Colin Stranahan, Stranahan, drums. Again, I don't know this player, but from the sound of it, he's a drummer who likes to use tone to color his playing. The music is creative and precise, yet it has plenty of improvisational integrity. Stranahan handles the jumps in tempo and rhythm with ease. It is mastered to the point of clarity usually reserved for the most calculated digital classical recordings, but you can still hear the passion of the group. With a double sax attack at the melody level from Michael Bailey and Remy Le Boeuf, the tunes are both angular and tonally rich. Much of the music was written by Le Boeuf and his brother, Pascal, along with Stranahan and bassist Dominic Thiroux. It's interesting enough and takes listeners through a journey of composition. Stranahan maintains a steady and understated rhythm throughout on this modern jazz outing. The expression of the players is sometimes muted by the complexity of the compositions, but it is a solid listening experience and one that can be both reflective and freeing. Capri Records, 2006; Playing Time: 67:58,****.
Love Pages, Café Soul All-Stars. When will soul and R&B pop stop being confused with jazz. Just because an album has artists that fall under the contemporary jazz genre doesn't mean the album is anything close to a jazz album. On its own basis, though, this album still stinks. It's a bunch of over-produced adult contemporary R&B, cookie cutter and utterly, predictably, painfully pedestrian. Guest artists like Boney James and George Benson don't make this syrupy, pseudo-soul album any better at all. Best to just throw it in an elevator and bother people for only a few floors rather than buy it and let it collect dust for eternity. Jazz, this is not. Good, this is not. You Entertainment, 2005; Playing Time: 56:42, *1/2.
Rewind That, Christian Scott, Trumpet. Scott is a product of the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts High School, and Berklee College of Music, which gives him a unique musical perspective, one that combines jazz traditions with rock, hip-hop and R&B. Scott is not your typical Big Easy trumpeter. He has a velvety tone which he uses on solid funk-jazz tracks, being both sparsely Miles Davis-ey, as on a back beat-laden version of "So What," or blasting, as on "Say It." He has an exceptional band that forwards his vision, especially bassist Luques Curtis, a rock on all tunes. Drummer Thomas Pridgen is a very good timekeeper, but he gets a little fill-happy on some of the more propelling tunes. Scott, on the other hand, underplays it, letting the melodies build and the tunes evolve. This is modern jazz at its finest - influenced by other mediums but still true to the colors and flavors that make jazz America's music. Concord Records, 2006; Playing Time: 64:43, ****1/2.
Inventions & Dimensions, Herbie Hancock, piano. Remember when jazz was still an experimental art form? In the '60s, when artists like Coltrane, Ornette and Cecil Taylor turned sound upside down and created something wholly new and groundbreaking? Those times are sadly gone, but their spirit remains. This disc, a reissue of Hancock's 1963 original, isn't as far out as some of what Taylor was doing, or Coltrane would do in subsequent years, but it is a departure from what was the norm in those days. It finds Hancock experimenting with new time signatures, world rhythms and repeating themes. The opener, "Succotash," is an Afro-Cuban exercise in recurring themes, with Hancock playing close harmonies and pointed improvisations while drummer Willie Bobo and percussionist Osvaldo "Chihuahua" Martinez expand on the rhythms. "Triangle" is a more straight ahead jazz piece, while "Jack Rabbit" leaps quickly in its frenetic rhythmic patterns. While it is not a jazz "avant garde" album, as the original liner notes state - truly, it seems rather tame nowadays - it is an important disc in Hancock's growth as an artist, and one that would lead him to be one of the most forward thinking jazz composers of his day. Blue Note Records, 2005; Playing Time: 50:01, ****.
Collage, Mike Tucker, saxophone. Tucker is a promising young tenor player, and his band is a sizzling collection of budding talent as well. Tucker is a fiery player, with plenty of ideas and derivations of earlier player's licks mixed up just enough to sound like his own man. His tunes, while predictably energetic for an artist on his way up looking for recognition, also are tempered with searching subtleties. His tune "Kathy" is sparse at points and at other richly orchestrated. He gives plenty of time throughout to his bandmates, including pianist Leo Genovese, bassist Hogyu Hwang and drummer Lee Fish. Tucker still leans on patterned licks that sound like they were honed in music school, but he also has the fortitude to push past those and find his own sound. With time, Tucker should have a grasp on that concept and be able to further his artistic integrity. Self-Produced, 2005; Playing Time: 64:18, ***1/2.

You love to ride your bike, so you're in luck this Valentine's Day.
Whether you've planned a wheeled rendezvous for two or you think cycling sweethearts are for suckers, you've got a very fine Valentine in your bicycle.
Whether you're solo, coupled or with a whole bike crew, here are some of the most romantic bike rides in New York City.
[Image: Sunset from Astoria Park by "takinyerphoto" via Pinterest]
Once Around with Perogies
Greenways and delicious potato filling – that's how to bicycle a loop around Manhattan Island. After a carbohydrate stop at Bike Friendly Business and Polish food specialist Veselka, take in beautiful views from the East and Hudson River greenways (and a bit of adventure as you navigate between the two).
A Bike Built for Two
What could make for a more quintessentially NYC Valentine's Day than a trip for two around Central Park? Skip the hansom cabs and instead invite that handsome (or lovely) someone to join you on a pedal-powered trip around the park with WE Bike NYC's Sadie Hawkins Tandem Ride.
Nothing Repelling about You!
Rock climbing is an activity for partners, all about trust and supporting your buddy. At Brooklyn Boulders in Cobble Hill, the first-ever Bike Friendly Business in the borough, you and your partner can park your bicycles indoors while you hit -- or should we say caress -- the climbing wall.

Choo-choo Choose You
Putnam Trail — a woodsy stretch of the North Bronx biking and walking path — used to be Putnam Railroad. Today it makes for a perfect romantic-ride destination for couples looking to get away without going far.
Citi Sweetheart
You ride. Your sweetie doesn't. If your relationship is out of balance, let Citi Bike help. Get a free 24-hour pass for Valentine's Day and share the bike love! Once you've got a pass, check BikeNYC's Citi Bike Adventures page for some great Valentine's ride itineraries.

Tug at the Heartstrings
What really tugs at the heart? Hint: It's a tugboat. At Arthur Kill, about an hour's bike ride from the Staten Island Ferry terminal at St. George, a beach-side graveyard of retired New York City tugboats provides a romantic spot, in a barren, apocalyptic sort of way.
Heart of Glass
Would your romance have survived 19th Century New York City? Pour over some ancient New York City history at Dead Horse Bay. Brooklynites know this seek-and-find date spot as Bottle Beach, where a long-ago landfill left behind piles of sand-worn sea glass to gift to your sweetheart.

Queens of Hearts
The Western Queens waterfront greenway is a stone's throw from some of the city's most awe-inspiring views. Catch a mood-setting sunset at Astoria Park or Socrates Sculpture Park, then ride over (with bike lights aglow) to The Queens Kickshaw — Astoria's original Bike Friendly Business — for some of the borough's best eats in an intimate atmosphere. Seal the deal on a great date night with libations and laughs courtesy of The Creek and Cave, Long Island City's top spot for live comedy.

After a glorious week of dog love on Facebook.com/timbuk2 and an April Fools pup takeover, our man Toby has been given the cone of shame. In an act of mercy, Toby's doctor prescribed him a clear cone, but it's almost worse than the OG white cone because Toby can't see the cone. After bashing into walls and unsuccessfully scratching his eye the cone is so fiercely protecting, he's taken to moping on a pillow under Jenny's desk. We showed Toby these other dogs in cones to lift his spirit, but he's still sulking.
In more positive news, we think we've found Toby's long lost brother. Teddy Spaghetti, the second place finisher in last week's Muttmover competition with 48 votes, bears a striking resemblance to Tobby. Teddy and Toby are old-man-chic and we love them with or without cones, in first or second place.
Teddy Spaghetti, possible relative of Toby.

My Project:Service Manager
1 Attachment(s)
Hello Guys, Back again with new Article. this time I am going to explain Enumeration of Windows service, it's Starting & Stopping , Changing Startup Type between Automatic, Manual And Disable, And Most Important One Deleting the Service(Please handle this Option With Care, if this action is executed once ,there is no chance of rollback).
I think every body knows what are Windows services, if not, let me explain it in brief,
A service application conforms to the interface rules of the Service Control Manager (SCM). It can be started automatically at system boot, by a user through the Services control panel applet, or by an application that uses the service functions. Services can execute even when no user is logged on to the system.
Now Let Me Explain Two Main Api's Which Deal With Opening of Service Manager (which is handle whole service database ) and then Opening OF particular Service.
Code: CPP
For accessing the remote machine services database, pass the target computer name must be prefixed by "\\".
Important Note: You should have ADMIN Access to Operate SCManger other Wise you can only enumerate the Services but you can't alter them
Code: CPP
Second the Name OF SERVICE(Service name),which you want to Open
Note: basically there are two type name One Display Name which we see when we Operate the Service Manager take look at next snapshot to get clear look.
And third parameter is Some access flag for accessing services
I think you got the clear view of what are Service Name and Display name I according to Services Theory. :d
Now this is the code for Enumerating all the services of local system, I will explain using à symbol in given code
Code: cpp
ScManager=::OpenSCManager(NULL,NULL,SC_MANAGER_ENU MERATE_SERVICE|GENERIC_READ);
check that whether we able to connect with local computer service databse or not
Code: CPP
* Also check that we are successful in retrieving the services or not
* First Parameter is the handle return from successful call of OpenScManger
* Second parameter indicate ,that we need only WIN32 based services
* Third parameter return all the service whether it's running or stop
* Fourth parameter is a buffer of ENUM_SERVICE_STATUS in which all the services name will be return
* Fifth parameter is buffer size of fourth parameter
* Sixth parameter return with total byte of memory need to retrieve all the services
* Seventh parameter return with total number of service return
* And eight parameter indicate Pointer to a variable that, on input, specifies the starting point of enumeration. You must set this value to zero the first time this function is called. On output, this value is zero if the function succeeds. However, if the function returns zero and the GetLastError function returns ERROR_MORE_DATA, this value is used to indicate the next service entry to be read when the function is called to retrieve the additional data.
Code: CPP
Code: CPP
Code: CPP
Code: CPP
->Here first parameter is hadle that we retrieve from successful call of OpenService
-> second parameter is variable of QUERY_SERVICE_CONFIG which will receive the status
Code: CPP
Working of above function is like this
1. First we open the scmanager with 'SC_MANAGER_ENUMERATE_SERVICE | GENERIC_READ' access Using the OpenSCManager Api
2. the using the handle Given by above Successful Call of SCManager, Call Api EnumServicesStatus to enumerate the service present in local system.the important parameter in this function is struct Buff ENUM_SERVICE_STATUS ,which will bring back all the service Present in the computer.
3. I think rest of code can be easily understood by a beginner.
Now let understand how to Stop & Start the services
To use Every Function of SCManger, you must get handle from the openSCManager to operate on Services.
NOTE: You should have Admin right to perform RUN and Stop the services on local machine
First Get Handle from OpenScManger like this
SC_HANDLE ScManager,ScService;//Declaring the Some USeful Variable
I think till now you have understand use of OpenSCmanager API
Code: CPP
* Here first parameter is handle receive from successful call of OpenSCManager Api
* Second parameter is the name of service to open
* Third determine the access type to open service, here I have taken access as SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS .
Code: CPP
now using StartService api we can Run the previously stop service.
here first parameter is handle which we receive from successful call of OpenService api
the second parameter indicate any command line argument pass to service
the third parameter according to MSDN
Pointer to an array of pointers to null-terminated argument strings passed to a service. Driver services do not receive these arguments. If no arguments are passed to the service being started, this parameter can be NULL.
Code: CPP
-> First parameter is common as of above
-> Second parameter specifies the requested control code
-> Third parameter according to MSDN
Pointer to a SERVICE_STATUS structure that receives the latest service status information. The information returned reflects the most recent status that the service reported to the service control manager.
Code: CPP
Now Most important and Dangerous One (Deleting the service)
Caution: please use this code with utmost care, because once it delete the service, this action can't be rollback. Unless you know how to install that service again
Note: You need Admin right to perform this Action otherwise the action failed
Here the Little Piece of code same way get the handle of both SCManager and Service
SC_HANDLE ScManager,ScService;//Declaring the Some Useful Variable
Code: CPP
deleteService and only parameter it take is the handle of particular service
Code: CPP
I think I have explain each and very line of code, if you still face problem you can mail me in this regards
Re: My Project:Service Manager
lengthy explanation
Re: My Project:Service Manager
thank u
Re: My Project:Service Manager
One Beginner Question:
As the Code above is written using Win32 API, is it compatible with all Windows Versions (like XP, VISTA, 7 both x86 and x64 editions)?
By the way, lengthy but perfect explanation.

To the Editor:
Cal Thomas — you just have to love this columnist. He has found the solution to America's unemployment and poverty issues. Who would have thought it would be so easy?
Thomas, in his column Dec. 14, suggests that the United States should look to the city-state of Singapore, where the unemployment rate is a very low 1.9 percent, for solutions. In Singapore, the word "welfare" (read "entitlements" and "government assistance") is a dirty word, according to Thomas.
How does this city-state of 5 million people manage to keep its handouts to citizens to a minimum and the unemployment at 1.9 percent? Actually, it is very simple: The government's attitude is, "being poor here is your own fault."
This obviously includes those born into poverty and those forced into it through circumstances beyond their control. Citizens are obligated (?) to save for the future and rely on families for help — and don't expect anything from the government unless you are at rock bottom.
If only life were that cut-and-dried. I don't know, you just gotta love this columnist.
Charles Gowing

a good range for any female is between 20-25 for fertility and i think 18-20 for that "ripped" look which is more masculine IMO. i wouldnt try to go below 18 because many lose their periods, hormones go outta whack unless you use fake birth control etc etc.
some scales will tell you but i dont know how accurate it is, theres a machine you sit in enclosed for like 30 seconds and it measures it, theres body capliers, and if you good BF measure im sure they will give you a hoot of results

Active Directory forms the core part of the Microsoft Windows domain administration. It is a very critical component, as the failure of it may disrupt the entire network. When the directory service fails, the details are promptly recorded in the logs. If the logs are analyzed thoroughly, the root cause of the failure can be found. Any operation on the Active Directory objects has to be captured. The Active Directory operations on directory service object and replica source naming context directly affects the user accesses and operations of machines in the network. Thus, monitoring Active Directory log events is critical to ensure smooth functioning of networks.
EventLog Analyzer can monitor Active Directory logs and any specific failure incident can be tracked in real-time. With this, it can alert the network administrator instantly, so that remedial measures can be taken swiftly to avoid network failure.
It has the flexibility to create custom reports to monitor Active Directory specific events. The respective event IDs of Active Directory can be monitored.
Ensure that logging is enabled for Active Directory events and it is not filtered by the event filter of EventLog Analyzer.
Active Directory is a directory service of Microsoft Windows domain networks. It forms part of the Windows Server operating system. Server which run Active Directory are called Domain Controllers. It provides administrators with centralized administration and security of network. It authenticates and authorizes all users and computers in a Windows network domain. It assigns and enforces security policies on all computers. It uses Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). The logs of Active Directory is stored in the Event Viewer of Windows OS.
The Windows Server 2000 and 2003 event IDs for Directory service
Windows 565 - Object Open (Active Directory)
Windows 566 - Object Operation (W3 Active Directory)
The Windows Server 2008 event IDs for Directory service
Windows 4661 - A handle to an object was requested
Windows 4662 - An operation was performed on an object
Windows 4928 - An Active Directory replica source naming context was established

Windows 4935 - Replication failure begins
Windows 4936 - Replication failure ends
Windows 4937 - A lingering object was removed from a replica
Windows 5136 - A directory service object was modified
Windows 5137 - A directory service object was created

Water aerobics is more than just jumping up and down in a swimming pool. Yes, you do jump, but you also walk, run, lift your knees and kick as you jump. Jumping in water is easier than jumping on land, plus you burn calories to help fight belly fat. And, you won't notice you're sweating as much, since you're already wet.
Liquid Exercise
Aqua aerobics is performed in water -- usually in a waist-deep water and at a comfortable water temperature of 82 to 86 degrees. You can take a class led by a fitness instructor, or do the movements on your own. A class lasts 50 to 60 minutes, contains a warm-up and a cool-down, and often incorporates abdominal and strength-training exercises. You get out of the exercise what you put into it. When you exercise at high intensity, you burn more calories to reduce belly fat.
Cardio Craze
Belly fat is used when you exercise aerobically. Aerobic exercise is continuous, rhythmic, doesn't leave you gasping for breath and is able to be maintained for at least 10 minutes. Your pool jumping fits this description. The water properties and reduced impact of gravity affect your exercise heart rate in water. You can expect your pulse to be approximately 17 beats per minutes less in water than on land. Keeping this in mind, pay attention to how you feel when doing water aerobics, and exercise at a level that feels moderate to hard.
Another way to burn belly fat is to increase your metabolism so your body uses more calories daily to sustain itself. Muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue, so increasing the amount of muscle you have will help fight belly fat. Jumping up and down in water uses your muscles against the water's resistance. Regardless of the way you move, you push against the water and increase your muscle tissue. You can increase the effectiveness of jumping by pushing harder off the bottom of the pool and coming up higher out of the water. This burns more calories and improves your body composition.
Count Those Calories
Water aerobics is a nice alternative to land exercise if you have pain or an injury to your back, hips, knees or ankles. Your body weight is reduced by up to 90 percent when you are in the water up to chest level. This does not reduce the effectiveness of the workout. Compared with 30 minutes of walking on land, which burns approximately 135 calories, water walking burns approximately 264. The higher you jump and the harder you work, the more calories you burn to fight belly fat, and fat all over your body.

text: When you talk about downtown merchants, you're talking about two groups. You must remember that Montgomery was downtown Dexter Avenue was heavily chained store. J.C. Penney, Sears Roebuck, Montgomery Fair, Verners, Mangles, Belks, Bushes, H.L. Green Company, Kresses, Woolworth, there wasn't any Woolworth, but these kind of stores were there. Then you had the independent owners. Well, those chain stores had quotas to make. And they didn't want to lose their job. Those managers were very concerned and they didn't know what to do but they kept their white soda fountains, and their black soda fountains and their white restaurants, and so forth. But they went around, they sent King into the police commissioner and the mayor, and the public works commissioner, and said, "Isn't there any way you can stop this? You got to stop this. You've got to get these buses back. We're we're, we're hurting," because and Monroe street were the independent owners and they, their survival depended on their cash flow and it was hurting them. And it, it, it, was a bad, bad thing and the whole, if you talk about economic impact, it was so strong, that you could see, you could get a parking space downtown for the first time. I mean, it was, we had a parking problem downtown well during the boycott, the parking problem disappeared. That was one of the offshoots of it.

After missing Game 1 of the first-round series with the Boston Celtics, point guard Pablo Prigioni (ankle) could actually play in Tuesday's Game 2. And as coach Mike Woodson explained, that gives the Knicks a lot more flexibility on offense.
"Pablo was definitely missed on both ends of the floor," Woodson said in Sunday's conference call. "We went and charted our offense and we had some stall time when we were very stagnant. But there were other time we had good looks but didn't fall, and we probably could've broken the game wide open. But it won't always go pretty for you in the playoffs. That's probably one of the first things to go."
As Newsday's Barbara Barker explained, if Prigioni does play, Raymond Felton could defend Paul Pierce:
The good news for Felton is that the Knicks are hopeful that Prigioni will be back next to him in the starting lineup for Game 2 Tuesday night.
And the bad news? If he is, Mike Woodson has decided to have Felton take over defensive duties on Paul Pierce, who remains the toughest cover on the Celtics.
There was some other significant injury news from the Knicks on Sunday. Amar'e Stoudemire, who isn't ready to return from his second knee debridement of the season, will be reinserted into the rotation when that does happen.
"Amar'e is going to always be a big piece of our team, that's without a doubt," Woodson said, as quoted by Peter Botte of the New York Daily News. "He's progressing right along. When he's going to play, I don't know at this point. But if he's able to make it back, he will be back in the rotation ready to play."

Are you serious?! Yes, we are! We only regret that it's not an Adrian Peterson signed jersey, or a CHRIS KLUWE SIGNED JERSEY?! Come on Chris, help us out here.
Anyway, this is your chance to win a signed Christian Ponder Vikings jersey. For free! You just have to follow the instructions below and submit your favorite Vikings fan story. You'll then be entered to win this swaggy stuff. It's real (as far as I can tell – He signed it at a recent event we were asked to promote), and is one of the new jerseys for the Vikings. Cool!
We'll run this contest throughout the month of July to give you slackers plenty of time to enter. We'll choose an entry at random, and when we announce the winner publically, will share their submitted personal Vikings fan story. The story may be awesome, or it may be sad. It may strike true with other fans or make many of us throw up in our mouths. I don't care what it is, because we'll publish pretty much anything. So write a good one!
Good luck!

Windfall Theatre still in tune with 'A Little Night Music'
Many Stephen Sondheim musicals benefit from being performed in a smaller space, where voices and emotions require no amplification to be heard and seen. That's perhaps most true of "A Little Night Music" - a delectable lemon meringue that combines the delicate, light farce of Hugh Wheeler's book with the tart filling provided by Sondheim's score.
It's therefore no accident that the nearby Writers' Theatre production of "Night Music" last summer - in a house that barely seats 100 - was better in every way than the 2009 Broadway revival featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury. »Read Full Article(1)
A weekend in Milwaukee for TV's Adam Richman
Adam Richman, late of the eating-challenge show "Man v. Food," has been filming around Milwaukee this weekend for his new show on the Travel Channel, "Fandemonium."
It's a show centered on uber-fan gatherings around the country and this weekend has been focused on the Milwaukee Brewers and Miller Park (the Brewers put out a call awhile back, seeking "superfans" with elaborate tailgating operations for filming this weekend). »Read Full Blog Post
Riverwest 24 gets neighborhood rolling
Riverwest is just one exceedingly cool neighborhood, but never as much as during the Riverwest 24, an around-the-clock, full-day bike ride. Born through the movement of community block watches, the event is fun whether you're riding or not. It also brings new faces into the neighborhood, strengthens ties among neighbors and encourages the notion of urban biking.
Described as an "exercise in stamina, teamwork and merriment," the Riverwest 24, or RW24 for short, starts at 7 p.m. Friday and ends at 7 p.m. Saturday. »Read Full Article
Etheridge's voice adds spice to musical comfort food
Melissa Etheridge has definitely had an interesting life: coming out, becoming a mother, recovering from breast cancer. Saturday night at the Riverside Theater, she mentioned being cancer-free for nine years, but her performance was almost entirely informed by being a girl from Kansas who was raised on classic rock, rather than by her later experiences.
Playing for more than two hours, Etheridge clearly wanted her show to be as much about the music as possible. She touched on pretty much every minor and major hit, and the resulting set was like a huge meal of ham and eggs, burgers and fries or any other basic meat-and-potatoes combination. »Read Full Article(5)
