Like the two years proceeding it, 2010 was a tough year for home owners. Foreclosure rates broke 2009's record-breaking numbers and we can expect even more in 2011.
For those fortunate property owners still hanging on to their real estate holdings, values in most American markets continued to plunge downward — creating an overall national price drop of -4.7 percent year-over-year, according to Clear Capital.
Earlier this month the real estate research provider released its monthly Clear Capital Home Data Index (HDI) market report, recapping the price fluctuations of 2010 and asserting market valuation forecasts for 2011.
Forbes.com: World's most unique travel destinations
According to the report, 70 percent of the U.S.'s major markets dropped in value in 2010 and 2011 will witness further price declines.
One of the most interesting things about the HDI report is its home value analysis of the 50 largest U.S. real estate markets (as broken down by population size of Metropolitan Statistical Area). The report compiles the most recent data available — using statistics from December 2010 (many reports use slightly older data since many real-time numbers can be challenging to get — thank you, government bureaucracy). Thirty-five out of 50 are expected to further depreciate this year, pulling the average national values down another -3.6 percent by this time next year.
But there is a shining beacon of hope in this scenario: the other 15 metros. The national market as a whole may still be hemorrhaging value but some cities are already sprouting the beginnings of a property value rebound. For example in California, where Clear Capital reports 2010 price gains in six out of the 15 major metropolises: Riverside, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Jose, San Francisco and Fresno.
Forbes.com: America's best and worst job markets
"There really is this segmentation of these markets occurring where the one-size-fits-all national level numbers to represent all numbers really isn't valid anymore," notes Alex Villacorta, senior statistician at Clear Capital. "Overall we're seeing prices start to stabilize going into 2011, but unfortunately some of those markets will stabilize in the downward direction where others will see a sustained recovery."
Villacorta and his fellow real estate analysts at Clear Capital believe the local markets in the Florida and Western parts of the U.S. — like Arizona's cities and Breadbasket metros like Oklahoma City, OK and Dayton, OH — will take the largest price hits.
Clear Capital broke their list down taking into account major economic factors like unemployment rates, foreclosure rates and the size of Real Estate Owned (A.K.A. bank-owned) inventory.
Forbes.com: America's most affordable cities
"Markets that have high proportions of distressed sale activity are even more sensitive to those up and down fluctuations and that's what we're seeing now, especially in a lot of the bottom of the list markets…a higher portion of distressed sale activity," explains Villacorta, who also notes that unemployment is and will continue to play a prominent role in the worst of the depreciating markets.
Economically healthy locales like Washington, D.C. and many of the Texas markets where unemployment is well below the national average and job opportunities abound will welcome price increases.
Below is a list of the top 10 cities that Clear Capital expects will rise in property value in 2011, followed by a list of the 10 expected to decline the most.
10 Markets On The Rise In 2011 (year over year):
1. Washington, DC: 6.5 percent price increase
2. Houston, TX: 3.6 percent price increase
3. Honolulu, HI: 3.4 percent price increase
4. Memphis, TN: 3.2 percent price increase
5. Columbus, OH: 2.1 percent price increase

8. Birmingham, AL: 0.9 percent price increase
9. Pittsburgh, PA: 0.8 percent price increase
10. New Orleans, LA: 0.5 percent price increase

What kinds of things should I talk to my gyno about?
These days, your gyno is going to talk to you about sexually transmitted infections even if you're in a long-term, stable, monogamous relationship. That's because so many of these infections are viruses that can be dormant or latent for many years. Plus an STIs like HPV can lead to cervical cancer if left untreated.
Aches and pains or concerns
Ask your doc about anything that's of concern whenever you want, but be sure to tell her when something has happened a repeated number of times, Brasner says. Although there may be no need for an expensive workup, it's important that the problem is addressed and monitored so both you and your doc can get a better idea of what's going on down there. If you have an acute pain or urgent question, don't hesitate to call. Many times the office will be able to screen over the phone the need for an immediate visit. For example, says Brasner, if someone has symptoms of a urinary tract infection, she shouldn't wait an extra day. Speak with a doctor to see if a visit is necessary or if it's something that can be handled on your own or over the phone.
Non-vaginal issues
Gynecologists sometimes take on the role of an overall women's health expert, and some ladies see their gyno and no one else. "I talk to my patients about their sleep habits or exercise habits, because even though I may not be an expert in those fields, I have a network of colleagues I can refer my patients to," says Brasner. Plus, more than any other kind of doctor, a gynecologist also deals the most with urinary problems. If you have a urinary issue, or suspect you have a urinary tract infection, call your gyno first.
How much info is too much to disclose about my sexual partners?
It is critical to discuss your sexual partners. "I need to know the health of the relationship, if you have suspicions of infidelity, if you have been unfaithful, and how many partners you have, and I need honest answers in terms of safe sex versus unsafe sex," says Brasner. Your gyno appointment is not the time to feel embarrassed and withhold information. Remember, there's nothing you can say that your doc hasn't heard before. A gynecologist isn't there to pass judgment, and you have to be willing to talk about things.
How will I know if my exam results are normal?
First, ask for feedback during any phase of the exam. "When I'm doing an exam, I may forget to let my patient know that her breast exam is completely normal. It's absolutely fine for her to ask if everything feels right," Brasner says. Also, clarify how the results from your exam will be communicated. Every office has its own policy. Sometimes you will be given a code to check online in a couple weeks, and sometimes you will be told that you'll get a call from the office only if something showed up abnormal on your Pap or other tests.
Is there anything I shouldn't ask or tell my gyno?
Don't ask your gyno about your best friend's health issues. Although you may be concerned about your pal, the time you have with your doctor is all about you, so you want to make the most of your time. Yes, your gyno will want to know if you have a lot of stress at work, but she can't sit with you to discuss your awful boss. If you have other things you want to discuss that are not typical for a checkup, ask if it is appropriate to set up another appointment.
Do I have to get completely naked for the exam?
Actually, no. You can leave your socks on, Brasner says. It's the one item of clothing you can feel free to wear in the chair, especially if your feet get cold. Other than that, it's everything off. Your doc is most likely going to do a breast exam, so be sure to take your bra off too and avoid an awkward moment. And stop worrying about how you look, says Brasner. You don't need to shave your legs or worry about making sure your lady parts are waxed. The gyno is down there for more important reasons.
How often do I need a pelvic exam and a Pap test?
Today's doctors know more than ever about HPV and its link to an abnormal Pap smear. They've learned that young women do not have the same HPV risk that older women do, so the guidelines have relaxed in terms of the age of your first visit. However, since many ladies see only a gynecologist, it's still important to have checkups. "I try to keep in mind that a lot of my patients don't see other doctors and aren't going to have any other face-to-face contact with a health-care professional if they don't come to see me," says Brasner.
There is a difference between how often you need a Pap smear and how often you need to visit the gyno. For younger women, Brasner recommends having a Pap every three years but going for a checkup every year to get the interaction or feedback from her about anything new, vagina-related or not.
Do I really have to go to a gynecologist for my problem? Can't I just self-diagnose?
Self-diagnosis on the Internet is a double-edged sword, says Brasner. The Web has a wealth of information, but without the proper filters and or education to sort through symptoms, it may be difficult to separate fact from fiction. "The Internet will walk a patient down the path of the worst-case scenario, so the patient will assume she has an awful problem when it is really a mild issue," says Brasner.
But if you're going to use over-the-counter products without consulting your gyno, Brasner has a few tips. Anything that's heavily cosmetic—such as lotions, potions, and perfumed sprays—is no good. If you have an itch, buy an OTC product that is free of parabens and alcohol. If you really don't know what to buy, call your gyno, who will be able to recommend the right OTC products.
Is it normal to have a sonogram at the gyno if I'm not pregnant?
Sonograms are used for nonpregnant women only if something in their medical history or physical indicates an abnormality. If you have no history of cysts or health issues, consult your insurance company before agreeing to a sonogram from your doc. They can be quite expensive and can sometimes produce false positives, requiring the need for further testing, says Brasner.
I just moved to a new area. What should I look for in a doctor, and how can I find a good one?
Ask around. Your peers are a great resource to start with, because most of the time, they have similar needs as you. For example, your coworkers may have similar insurance policies and will know how to find a local gyno who is on your plan.
The big debate: Would you feel more comfortable with a male or female gyno? Back in the day, patients didn't have much of an option because most gynos were men. Plenty of women still see male doctors, and every doctor is required to have a nurse in the room during the exam, so you should feel safe with either sex.
Do some research. Find out if your new doc is board certified and if he or she is affiliated with a hospital. This may not seem important to you now, but it's good to know. If you ever need to be hospitalized or if you are planning on having a baby, you'll want to be familiar with the hospital where your gyno works. Determine how many doctors are in the practice and if your preferred gyno is there part time or full time. And inquire about office hours, what days the practice is open, and if special appointment times (such as early morning or evening) are available.

SWEDE FEST™ PALM BEACH Announces Collaboration with Hollywood Powerhouse DIGITAL DOMAIN
Amateur Film Festival Will Have 'Audience Favorite Award'
Provided by The Digital Domain Institute
On Friday, July 27th, at 7:00PM, swede fest™ palm beach and The Digital Domain Institute are pairing up to recognize the most "original remakes" at this first annual amateur film festival. Hosted at the dining and shopping destination Mainstreet at Midtown, swede fest™ palm beach takes place in Palm Beach Gardens' state-of-the-art theatre facility Borland Center of Performing Arts located at 4885 PGA Boulevard (just west of Military Trail). Tickets are $5.
BUT WHAT'S A SWEDE, YOU ASK? A "swede" is a no-budget, laughably bad remake of a Hollywood film. The term comes from the 2008 comedy, Be Kind Rewind, which started an underground sweding craze and resulted in the first swede fest™ in Fresno, CA. Next came swede fest™ tampa bay, and now Midtown is rolling out the very first swede fest™ palm beach.
Entries are open, and targeted to all students, film buffs, creative types, film lovers, and professionals, or simply anyone with any type of camera. It is free to enter a film but ENTRIES MUST BE SUBMITTED BY JULY 13th. The festival embraces the highly amateur nature of "sweding" while supporting creativity within the community.
"We have a vibrant film-making community here, and we wanted to tap into that creative group and bring them to Midtown. Obviously we're ecstatic to have the DIGITAL DOMAIN INSTITUTE involved!" says Belle Forino, Marketing Coordinator for Mainstreet at Midtown.
There are a few RULES for the entries. Films must be under three minutes and PG-13, even if the "source material" is not. This means finding creative ways to get around violence, objectionable language, and nudity. Guidelines are on the swede fest™ palm beach website, along with example swedes such as The Breakfast Club, Wayne's World, and Se7en.
The audience is encouraged to dress in their finest berets, cravats, safari vests, or other directorial cliché's. Emcee for the evening will be LESLIE STREETER from the PALM BEACH POST.
For those interested in sweding a film, email firstname.lastname@example.com to call dibs on your movie. Swede-makers are encouraged to embrace the amateur nature of sweding and opt to use found objects rather than spending any real money making these movies.
EVENT: swede fest™ palm beach
AWARDS: Under 18 & Over 18 Audience Favorites
WHEN: Friday, July 27, 7:00 PM
FILMS DUE: By July 13th
WHERE: Midtown's Borland Center of Performing Arts
4885 PGA Boulevard, Palm Beach Gardens FL 33418

The use of the word "tapu" (from which the English word "taboo" derives) in translations of various languages in the South Pacific is noteworthy. The English term "taboo" was first used by Captain Cook in 1785. It does not only mean "forbidden, prohibited, untouchable," but also "sacred, holy." This concept is attested in almost all South Pacific islands (see this listing for the use of forms of "tapu" in many of the languages — for a modern-day definition of tapu, according to Māori usage, see here).
While some Bible translators working in South Pacific languages did not use "tapu" for the Hebrew Old Testament term קֹדֶשׁ ("holy" in English translation), many did, including in Tongan ("tapuha"), Gilbertese ("tabu"), Tuvalu ("tapu"), Rarotongan ("tapu"), and Māori ("tapu"). (See: Joseph Hong, The Bible Translator 1994, p. 329.)
In some of those languages, for instance in the Kiribati (Gilbertese) New Version Bible of 2016, other Old (and New) Testament terms that don't contain a "Holy" marker in the source language, use "tabu" as a modifier for terms that are rendered in English as "Bread of Presence (shewbread)," "Sabbath," or "Temple."
Some South Pacific languages also use forms of "tapu" in translation of the "Holy" (Ἅγιον) in "Holy Spirit."
The Hebraist Franz Steiner gave a series of lectures on the topic of "taboo" and the Old Testament idea of "holy" or "sacred" that are now considered classic. Steiner died shortly after giving the lectures and they were published posthumously. While he never actually arrives at an actual definition of "taboo" in his lectures the following excerpts show something of the difficult relationship between "taboo" and "קֹדֶשׁ" (Click or tap here):
"The most common form of the word is tapu. That is the Maori, Tahitian, Marquesan, Rarotongan, Mangarevan and Paumotan pronunciation, which in some cases sounds more like tafu. The Hawaiian form is kapu, the Tongan tabu. Forms like tambu and tampu are not unknown, particularly in the mixed linguistic area or in the Polynesian periphery. The word is used extensively outside Polynesia proper. Thus in Fiji tabu means unlawful, sacred, and superlatively good; in Malagassy, tabaka, profaned, polluted. The New English Dictionary remarks: 'The accentuation taboó, and the use of the word as substantive and verb, are English; in all the native languages the word is stressed on the first syllable, and is used only as an adjective, the substantive and verb being expressed by derivative words and phrases.'
"Up to this point my report is straightforward, and I only wish I could continue, as so many have done, with the following words: 'A brief glance at any compilation of the forms and meanings of this word in the various Polynesian languages shows that in all of them the word has two main meanings from which the others derive, and these meanings are: prohibited and sacred.' The comparison of these data, however, suggests something rather different to me; namely, (i) that the same kind of people have compiled all these dictionaries, assessing the meaning of words in European terms, and (a) that, with few exceptions, there are no Polynesian words meaning approximately what the word 'holy' means in contemporary usage without concomitantly meaning 'forbidden'. The distinction between prohibition and sacredness cannot be expressed in Polynesian terms. Modern European languages on the other hand lack a word with the Polynesian range of meaning; hence Europeans discovered that taboo means both prohibition and sacredness. Once this distinction has been discovered, it can be conveyed within the Polynesian cultural idiom by the citation of examples in which only one of the two European translations would be appropriate. I have no wish to labour this point, but I do want to stress a difficulty all too seldom realized. It is for this reason that it is so hard to accept uncritically the vocabulary-list classifications of meanings on which so much of the interpretation of taboo has been based. Tregear's (Tregear Edward: "The Maoris of New Zealand," 1890) definition of the Maori tapu is an example: 'Under restriction, prohibited. Used in two senses: (i) sacred, holy, hedged with religious sanctity; (2) to be defiled, as a common person who touches some chief or tapued property; entering a prohibited dwelling; handling a corpse or human bones . . .' and so forth.
"This sort of classification almost suggests that there was in Polynesian life a time in which, or a group of objects and situations in relation to which, the notion of prohibition was employed while the society did not yet know, or related to a different group of objects and situations, the notion of sacredness. This is not so. Taboo is a single, not an 'undifferentiated', concept. The distinction between prohibition and sacredness is artificially introduced by us and has no bearing on the concept we are discussing. (…)
"Before we go on to the meaning of impurity in taboo, I should like to mention the exceptions I alluded to before: when, according to dictionary evidence, taboo means only 'sacred' and not 'prohibited'. As translations of tapu Tregear gives for the island of Fotuna 'sacred', and for the island of Aniwan, 'sacred, hallowed'. There they are, but I think one is entitled to be suspicious of such cases, since they are not accompanied by any examples of non-Christian, non-translatory use, for the word taboo was widely used by missionaries in the translation of the Bible: in the Lord's Prayer for 'hallowed', 'sacred', and as an adjective for words like Sabbath. On the other hand, Tregear's second point is plausible: that the notion of impurity is derived from that of prohibition (or, as one should rather say, prohibition and sacredness). A mere glance into Polynesian dictionaries reaffirms this statement, for while there is no use of a word — with, as I said, a few exceptions — which connotes sacredness without implying prohibition, there are many words meaning dirty, filthy, not nice, putrid, impure, defiled, etc. Thus it was possible to convey a notion of an object's unfitness for consumption, or unsatisfactory surface or state of preservation, without any reference to sacredness and prohibition. Only some of the notions of impurity were connected with taboo notions. (p. 33-34)
"Qodesh [קדש] is, for the man of the Pentateuch, unthinkable without manifestation. Furthermore, it is a relation, and what is related to God becomes separated from other things, and separation implies taboo behaviour. According to taboo concepts, man must behave in a certain way once the relationship has been established, whether or not he is part of the qodesh relationship. For it does not follow from either the behavioural or the doctrinal element of qodesh that (1) in the establishment of the relationship the incipient part must be God, or that (2) man must be the other part.
"The full relationship, including the ritual behaviour which it to some extent explains, is basically a triangular one, but two corners of the tri¬angle may coincide. Thus the Pentateuch tells us of qodesh, holiness: (1) when God manifests Himself, then the spot is qodesh for it has been related to Him. Here the notion of contagion operates. (2) When some thing, animal, or human being has been dedicated to Him, then it is qodesh and hence taboo. Contagion, however, is in no way involved in this case. (3) The baruch relationship, the so-called blessing, also establishes holiness. God himself — this comes as a shock to most superficial Bible readers — is never called holy, qodesh, unless and in so far as He is related to something else. He is holy in His capacity as Lord of Hosts, though He is not here related to man. Very often the Bible says. The Holy One, blessed be He, or blessed be His name. The name is, in the framework of the doctrinal logic of the Pentateuch, always qodesh because it establishes a relationship: it has, so we primitives think, to be pronounced in order to exist." (p. 85-86)

Hearing Palace for the first time is akin to experiencing an organic carrot for the first time. One recognises immediately that the object being observed is a carrot, but somehow unlike the processed, sanitised and chemically-neutered carrots common on supermarket shelves. All this time, one realises, I have been accepting this poor substitute for a carrot while the real thing, in all its bulbous, gnarled, wiry-haired and satisfyingly warty fertility, has been kept from me! At first there is something spooky about the carrot - might it actually be some crazy medi?val hallucinogenic root, used by witches to brew d?monic potions? Or have you just seen it form too many scarecrow - and snowman - noses?

"The Avengers," Joss Whedon's crowd-pleasing superhero epic, offically reached the $600 million mark at the domestic box-office on Tuesday—yet another significant milestone for what's already the highest-grossing film of 2012 and the third highest-grossing domestic release of all-time, Walt Disney Pictures announced Tuesday.
However, the Disney/Marvel box-office behemoth—starring, among others, Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, and Scarlett Johansson—didn't cross the $600 million mark as fast as James Cameron's "Avatar" did. Furthermore, "The Avengers" isn't expected to top "Avatar" or Cameron's "Titanic" on the all-time grossers list. ("Avatar," which was released in 2009, reigns supreme at $760 million domestically).
Nevertheless, "The Avengers" is a certifiable mega-success, with a whopping global gross of $1.438 billion. The action-adventure flick also holds the records for the biggest domestic opening and second-weekend grosses, according to Variety. Moreover, according to Entertainment Weekly, "Avengers" was also the fastest film to cross the $200 million, $300 million, $400 million, and $500 million benchmarks.
U.S. & World
Of course, "Avengers" has also outgrossed every Marvel superhero movie by a longshot, outperforming the combined domestic hauls of "The Incredible Hulk," "Captain America: The First Avenger," and "Thor"—the three flicks that made waves in the lead-up to Whedon's ensemble smash.

WP7 ContextMenu in depth | Part1: key concepts and APIpublished on: 03/01/2020 | Tags: WP7Toolkit windows-phone
by WindowsPhoneGeek
I am starting a "WP7 ContextMenu in depth" series of articles in which I am going to talk about the Windows Phone 7 ContextMenu in details. In this article "Part1: key concepts and API" I will talk about the key properties, events and the main features of the Windows Phone 7 Context Menu control in details.
One of the new components in the Silverlight Toolkit is ContextMenu. Basically when the user taps and holds on any item the context menu appears. It is used in areas like for example the application list, where if you tap and hold an application you get the option to pin it to the start menu, uninstall, etc.
To begin using ContextMenu first add a reference to the Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit.dll assembly which is installed with the toolkit and you can find it in :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Toolkit\Nov10\Bin\Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit.dll.
You will also need to add the "toolkit" prefix declaration. Make sure that your page declaration includes the "toolkit" namespace:
The sample code should looks like:
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Item1"/>
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Item2"/>
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Item3"/>
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Item4"/>
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Item5"/>
ContextMenuService provides the system implementation for displaying a ContextMenu. Basically it consists of a "ContextMenu" attached dependency property.
- ContextMenu
Identifies the ContextMenu attached property.
Key Properties
- IsOpen
IsOpen is a dependency property of type bool. It gets or sets a value indicating whether the ContextMenu is visible.
- IsZoomEnabled
IsZoomEnabled is a dependency property of type bool. It gets or sets a value indicating whether the background will zoom out when the ContextMenu is open.
<toolkit:ContextMenu VerticalOffset="100.0" IsZoomEnabled="True" x:Name="menu">
</toolkit:ContextMenu >
- ItemContainerStyle
ItemContainerStyle is a dependency property of type Style .It gets or sets the Style that is applied to the container element generated for each item.
<toolkit:ContextMenu x:Name="databoundMenu">
<Style TargetType="toolkit:MenuItem">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="YellowGreen" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="5" />
- VerticalOffset
VerticalOffset is a dependency property of type double. It gets or sets the vertical distance between the target origin and the popup alignment point.
<toolkit:ContextMenu VerticalOffset="100.0" IsZoomEnabled="True" x:Name="menu">
</toolkit:ContextMenu >
- Closed
Closed occurs when a particular instance of a ContextMenu closes.
this.menu.Closed += new RoutedEventHandler(menu_Closed);
void menu_Closed(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{ //add some content here}
- Opened
Opened occurs when a particular instance of a ContextMenu opens.
this.menu.Opened += new RoutedEventHandler(menu_Opened);
void menu_Opened(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{ //add some content here}
Key Properties
- Command
Command is a dependency property of type ICommand. It gets or sets the command associated with the menu item.
- CommandParameter
CommandParameter is a dependency property of type object. It gets or sets the parameter to pass to the Command property of a MenuItem.
- Header
Header is a dependency property of type object. It gets or sets the item that labels the control. The default value is null.
- HeaderTemplate
HeaderTemplate is a dependency property of type DataTemplate. It gets or sets a data template that is used to display the contents of the control's header.
- ItemContainerStyle
ItemContainerStyle is a dependency property of type Style .It gets or sets the Style that is applied to the container element generated for each item.
- Click
Click occurs when a MenuItem is clicked.
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Add" Click="MenuItem_Click"/>
private void MenuItem_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{//add some content here}
Populating ContextMenu with Items
Here is an example of how to use this control in the easiest way using MenuItems:
<Button Content="OpenContextMenu" Height="100" Width="270">
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Add" Click="MenuItem_Click"/>
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Update" Click="MenuItem_Click"/>
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Delete" Click="MenuItem_Click"/>
private void MenuItem_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
MenuItem menuItem = (MenuItem)sender;
MessageBox.Show("You chose to " + menuItem.Header.ToString(),"Result",MessageBoxButton.OK);
The result can be seen on the following screen shots:
In this example when the user tap and hold the "OpenContextMenu" button as a result a context menu appears from where you can select from three options. After you choose an item a MessageBox appears with information about the selected operation.
DataBinding ContextMenu
Here is an example of how to populate ContextMenu using simple data binding. We will also add some ItemContainerStyle in order to change the background color of the items:
<Button Content="DataBinding" Height="100" Width="270">
<toolkit:ContextMenu x:Name="databoundMenu">
<Style TargetType="toolkit:MenuItem">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="YellowGreen" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="5" />
List<string> menuItems = new List<string>() {"Copy", "Paste", "Cut" };
this.databoundMenu.ItemsSource = menuItems;
The result can be seen on the following screen shots:
That was all about the key properties, events and the main features of the Windows Phone 7 ContextMenu in depth.

I have the following that a list box uses, within the grid there is a ton of info about each game that the listbox creates items for when it binds, and this works. However, the binding below of the command argument does not work and throws xml parser errors. How do I bind the command arguments as without that there is no way to tell which listboxitem the user made a selection on a menuitem of. FYI - the menu does show and it's click does get hit with a breakpoint.
<DataTemplate x:Name="LocalGamesTemplate">
<Grid Width="350" Margin="0,0,0,15" Background="#00010000">
<toolkit:MenuItem x:Name="GameDelete" Header="Delete Game" Command="Delete" CommandParameter="{Binding Player1NameLocal}" Click="GameDelete_Click"/>
posted by: M on 01/13/2011 01:00:41
I found the progromatic way of doing what I asked for above in case anyone comes across this. You still need the Grid in the DataTemplate of course, just set it's loaded event. Make sure this is the outter most control in the template and make sure it's bg isnt transparent becuase only visible/non transparent items register the menuitem click event.
private void GameGrid_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
var grid = (Grid)sender;
var game = ((TombGame)grid.DataContext).GameID;
BindGameDelete(grid, game);
private void BindGameDelete(Grid grid, string gameID)
ContextMenu cm = new ContextMenu();
RoutedEventHandler clickHandler = new RoutedEventHandler(GameDelete_Click);
// Add "edit" entry
MenuItem menuItem = new MenuItem()
Header = "Delete",
Tag = "Delete",
CommandParameter = gameID
menuItem.Click += clickHandler;
ContextMenuService.SetContextMenu(grid, cm);
private void GameDelete_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
var gameToDelte = ((MenuItem)sender).CommandParameter;

Hi M,
I gave this a try to see if I could replicate the problem you mentioned and it does appear to fail as you said.
I worked around the opposite way and just passed the entire Binding which was selected from the listbox as the Parameter and set no command.
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Add" Click="MenuItem_Click" CommandParameter="{Binding}"/>
Thus in my case I did not need to know which Listbox item or index was selected per-say and my event trapped it and passed it through as a command parameter as such.
Are using the MVVM?, if so you can keep the CommandParameter = {Binding} and run this command in your click handler to remove the item from the listbox as it is bound.
Heres an example based on the normal ItemViewModel template:
Private Sub MenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)
Dim ItemViewModel As ItemViewModel = CType(CType(sender, MenuItem).CommandParameter, ItemViewModel)
End Sub
But How do I add to List
posted by: Jules on 01/30/2011 15:07:53
Surely the example should be how to apply against a List !
I cannot see form the above how to apply Context Menu against items within a ListBox. Using a Button to open a ContextMenu is pointless example.
RE:But How do I add to List
posted by: winphonegeek on 04/28/2011 11:55:12
Take a look at our article: WP7 ContextMenu: answers to popular questions for more examples.
You need something like:
<ListBox x:Name="listBox">
<StackPanel x:Name="sp">
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Add Color" Click="MenuItem_Click"/>
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Remove Color" Click="MenuItem_Click"/>
<Image Source="{Binding ImageUri}" Stretch="None" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Text}" />
Error in context menu control?
posted by: leon on 06/08/2011 20:13:40
I used the control as described in this article:
<Button Content="OpenContextMenu" Height="100" Width="270" Margin="0 70 0 0" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Add" />
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Update"/>
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Delete"/>
but the context menu opens only once per page loads. Second and following times I tap and hold to open the context menu, the UI just zooms out and in, but no context menu is shown. If I reload the page then the normal behavior returns and exists for single 'tap and hold'. What's wrong?
RE:Error in context menu control?
posted by: winphonegeek on 06/14/2011 16:56:21
We were unable to reproduce the issue you reported. Can you give us some more information like :
Which version of the WP7 Toolkit are you using?
Which version of Windows Phone tools are you using?
You can also download the sample project attached at the end of the article.
why is it that i cant add this??

Error 1 'User_Interface.Favourites' does not contain a definition for 'menu' and no extension method 'menu' accepting a first argument of type 'User_Interface.Favourites' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference? I have the xName:"menu" in my xaml already.
Dynamically populating the context menu
posted by: Dynamic on 10/05/2011 10:44:54
Hi, how is it possible to dynamically populate the context menu prior to its drawing? I.e. when having multiple items on the screen, the item (thus context and menu content) is known only when the user has touched a given item. Does one need to bind to ManipulationStarted event to (try to) update the menu content before the Hold gesture is generated, or is there some hook to populate the menu as part of its activation?
Routig Tag information through Template
posted by: theCake on 11/12/2011 14:05:09
Hey there, I have a ContextMenu on a control in an ItemTemplate:
<toolkit:MultiselectList ItemsSource="{Binding Entries}" >
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<toolkit:ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding ContextMenuOptions}" Tag="{Binding}">
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="{Binding}" Click="MenuItem_Click" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Header}" />
The class 'Entry' (inside the list Entries, which is the ItemsSource of the MultiselectList) has a property ContextMenuOptions, which is a list of the available context menu items (string). In the MenuItem_Click event I need acces to the 'Entry' (eg. the Tag property of ContextMenu).
How do I get it through? Thanks!
Problem when run the program
posted by: The Blue on 04/25/2012 05:46:13
Hi WindowsPhoneGeek! Thanks for your article. I have downloaded and run the source code. But a problem is that the ContextMenu does not display when i click the button. So what is the problem, in fact. Please help me!

Hi,WindowPhoneGeek. I am having the same problem which cannot run the downloaded source code, which is same with The Blue problem,may I ask help to solve this problem?
RE:@Problem when run Program

You have to press and hold the button in order ti see the menu rather than just click it. That is the expected way in which Context Menu should appear in Windows Phone (press and hold). However if you want to show the menu on a single click of the button just set:
this.menu.IsOpen = true;
The property 'ContextMenu' does not exist on the type 'StackPanel'
posted by: fubar on 07/09/2012 02:07:26
For those who might have made the mistake I made and see a similar message (during compile):
The property 'ContextMenu' does not exist on the type 'StackPanel' in the XML namespace 'clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.ToolKit'.
I was aware that namespaces are case sensitive so I had double checked the toolkit namespace but originally failed to notice the improper case of the assembly name in the declaration (had an upper case K in ToolKit) (I wasted a good hour or so researching this error).
I just had to revise the assembly name in the toolkit namespace to use the lower case k in Toolkit (to be exactly as shown in this article!).
time between "key down" and context menu popping up
posted by: Newbie on 07/27/2012 05:22:47
It seems by default it takes about 2 second for context menu to pop up after touching screen. Is there any way to change the time?
posted by: Koen Zomers on 08/06/2012 03:04:52
I ran into the same issue as more people above with binding CommandArguments so a context menu event can be traced back to where it originated from.
CommandParameter="{Binding Player1NameLocal}"
actually DOES work. Only setting the Command attribute to any value results in a runtime error. So as long as you don't specify a Command and just use seperate event handlers for each context menu item, you're good to go with CommandParameter.
Databinding with "click" event
posted by: NZ on 01/25/2013 16:49:06
In your DataBinding example, how do you know which item in the bound list was selected so that you can actually perform the Copy, Paste, or Cut?
I want to be able to know what they selected and based on the selection, I can then run the "click" event.
Thanks, NZ
Databinding with "click" event
posted by: DarkKnight on 04/17/2013 21:58:31
private void MenuItem_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { var datacontext = ((MenuItem)sender).DataContext; }
sender has DataContext, typecast appropriately. Then it will have the current selected item data.

I don't understand the Sonya Curry phenomenon. (Actually, I didn't even know there was one, but apparently it's tearing up the charts.) The mother of Davidson
sharpshooter Stephen Curry is an attractive 40-something teacher and a former athlete herself, but does that really make her any more interesting than any of the other sports moms out there?
I mean, it's not like she's strutting around in cut-off shorts with "Wildcat" written on the butt or boozing it up with her son's teammates on Facebook. She's just a mom who isn't ugly and understands that Davidson relies too much on her son's outside jumpshot. Just like every other mom at the Garden last night. I mean, why doesn't anyone talk about how Del's long-range abilities on NBA Live '95 inspired Stephen and kept me from getting destroyed by my roommate in Super Nintendo grudge matches?
Anyway, Davidson held off West Viriginia even though it took 27 shots and 12 missed 3-pointers for Curry to get his 27 points. Curry still leads the nation in scoring at 30.8 points per game, while his mother apparently leads the nation in the crowd reaction shots. Maybe she'll get a new hairdo before March!

Out 681 votes cast from among 1,800 attendees gathered at the 29th Biennial Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference, Romney garnered 346 votes or 51 percent. The candidate who came closest to Romney was Texas Governor Rick Perry who captured 16.8% with 114 votes.
On Saturday, both Perry and Romney had forgone the opportunity to address the P5 Straw Poll in Orlando, Florida and instead opted to address the Mackinac event.
Perry did speak to P5 participants during a Saturday morning breakfast event. And before voting began in that contest, a pre-recorded video message by him was seen by all.
In the case of Mitt Romney, he has made it a policy to not compete in straw polls this year because he would prefer to invest the large amount of resources they require in the actual election rather than contests that have no bearing on the delegate count needed to win the Republican presidential nomination. In 2007, Mitt Romney spent more than $1 million in the Iowa Straw Poll, which he won. But he went on to lose the Iowa Caucuses to Mike Huckabee. Four years later, Romney does not want to divert the time and money from his 2012 campaign to such beauty contests.
Unlike Herman Cain's win in Florida, Romney was widely expected to win the Michigan event, just as he is expected to win the Michigan Republican presidential primary in 2012. Romney is a native of Michigan and his father was a popular Governor of the state. Romney also won the Michigan primary in the 2008 election cycle.
Since 1953, Michigan Republicans have gathered for the Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference every two years at historic Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island.. The event allows Party activists to discuss ideas, learn how to articulate the Republican message, and to interact with fellow Republicans from across the state—and the country. The Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference has become one of the premier Republican events in the Midwest.

Originally posted in The Vacaville Reporter: The Food Bank has moved a long way from providing emergency food to people every now and then to becoming a major part of the safety net. Trying to end hunger means we have to be in this for the long haul because the end of hunger is not yet in sight. We have a sophisticated distribution system that provides over 60,000 pounds of food to low-income people in our community every working day. In order to make this possible, we have developed a variety of ways to get food to the people we serve.
Many of the distribution systems we developed came about because the nature of the food available to us changed. As the amount of processed food diminished and the amount of fresh produce increased, we had to move food more quickly. The majority of the fresh produce we receive is the "less perishable" type (apples, oranges, potatoes, cauliflower, etc.) but it still needs to get to people quickly. In order to make produce available to the 180 agencies we serve, the Food Bank established remote distribution sites where we meet local agencies in their community. We meet agencies every week (twice a week in some communities)in a parking lot where we provide them the shelf stable items they order from a shopping list of available food, and give them access to bins of fresh produce.
While we are doing well providing more food for agencies to distribute to the community, we also bring the food directly to the people in need of help. Our Farm 2 Kids program depends on a driver and truck making deliveries to after-school programs at low-income schools. This program distributes enough fresh produce so each child can take home three to five pounds to share with their families each week during the school year. We were granted two trucks that are set up to be like a mobile farmer's market and created the Community Produce Program Those trucks go to over fifty sites in Solano and Contra Costa counties, making it possible for low-income people to receive over twenty pounds of fresh produce every other week – at no cost to them.
These programs work because the community wants to see people have the food they need to be healthy. Volunteers bag produce in our warehouse so it is easier to distribute. Volunteers come to the distribution sites and help prepare food bags so it is easy for people to obtain. A generous community helps us cover the costs involved in proving people in need with millions of pounds of food each year. Our work has changed, but what we can accomplish has improved significantly. We are part of a community that does all they can to help their neighbors in need.

Senseless killer suddenly pleads guilty
On the eve of his trial, 20-year-old Michael Stuart Pritchett, one half the duo that killed a woman for little more than her laptop computer, has joined his colleague in crime, William Douglas Gentry Jr., in pleading guilty, according to reports from the Daily Progress, the Newsplex, and NBC29. The November 2007 execution-style slaying of 26-year-old UVA grad and AIDS Services Group employee Jayne Warren "Jayner" McGowan has never made any sense.
–last updated 4:10pm, Tuesday, February 2

Why is it the motive of the murderers has always been described as "senseless," or "for little more than her laptop?"
Those guys may be really stupid, but surely they've seen some TV shows in which criminals got caught.
Why would the police and the press not report their motive. Or why wouldn't they investigate it?
Anyone taken a look at their kin people? Or Ms. McGowan's previous employment, or events in D.C.?
Maybe it's just like a TV murder.
"Charlottesville may as well plant a sign at the city court house, KILL IN CHARLOTTESVILLE AND YOU WILL NEVER FACE THE CHAIR.
The setup isn't hard to figure out, even for the criminals!"
It's certainly true the CA office here doesn't seem to hand out the death penalty (at least not that I can recollect in my time here). I wonder, then, why we don't see a higher murder rate here than we do? I mean, the logic of a lot of the pro-death penalty folks who post here seems to be that without the amazing deterrent effect of the DP, criminals will run wild. But I don't think this area has a particularly higher murder rate than comparable areas. What's up with that?
Hoolarious, it is a no brainer that most Demmocrats in Charlottesville oppose the death penalty. Last I heard, the state of VA still permits execution. I question any who work for a city,county govt., and who hold power with regard to sentencing, being permitted to NEVER consider a death sentence. It seems to me, as any Com Att is so bound to his,her personal religious beliefs, he should consider he chose the wrong job. For example, a minister may have been a better choice for this person. Separation of church and state is the law of the land, isn't it? I'm not the only person in Charlottesville who feels this way. And if this poor girl were my daughter, I would have demanded they consider imposing a Death sentence. Any thoughts concerning how the Com. Att would handle such a situation? As far as I know, no one has presented the office with a challenge in this regard.
Get Real, you keep arguing that most Democrats in Cville oppose the DP as if someone here (me?) were disagreeing with you...I'm not. I've acknowledged that the DP is not handed out here, hasn't been that I can recollect. Ease up, man, you're not getting opposition on that point.
You say you're not the only person in Cville who feels this way--I'm sure that's true. But the CA in the city is an elected position. People voted for the person they wanted in that role. Presumably people considered whether or not a given candidate seems inclined to hand out the DP. Perhaps you are simply outnumbered, locally, in your perspective on the DP.
I'm certainly not saying the CA is bound to religious beliefs; you seem to be confusing my general assertion that there are many citizens in the nation who oppose the DP on religious grounds with some kind of specific claim about a specific person (which is not what I'm doing. The DP is permitted in Virginia, but I don't think it's mandatory, nor are there quotas that the different areas have to meet. I don't think anyone is saying "darn it, Charlottesville is just not executing its fair share of criminals."
"As far as I know, no one has presented the office with a challenge in this regard." As far as I know, no one has done so either -- and isn't that kind of telling? As in, maybe fewer people are clamoring to execute our local murderers than you think.
I'm glad he at least had the sense to spare her family from a trial that would've surely ended in a conviction anyway. Shame neither of these two f@cksticks is going to get needle-in-the-arm justice, and for that I blame our local commonwealths attorneys, but here's hoping they each have a short miserable life behind bars.
Unsurprised to see the defenders of the Charlottesville Com Att, chime in. I think what we need is a more honest,upfront approach from the office. Why don't you people in the Com Att's department just admit to members of the public, that you oppose the death penalty. It is obvious, this is the position. I believe we have too many murders for a respectable University town of this size. I think it is dangerous for the criminal element to be assured, life in prison is the max sentence in this town. If Charlottesvile were ever to suffer any horrific criminal incident, it is unjust the death penalty appears to have been ruled out for the town.
This was very simply a case of two scumbag rednecks looking for some cash for beer and weed. They saw a woman alone in a house and decided to kill her for her belongings. Inbred, stupid, greedy losers. They live and she died. Where is the fairness in that?
Senseless is not the word. Crack Cocaine is...they needed money to buy drugs. They could have just taken the laptop but they killed her anyways. asdasd clearly has watched to much TV and clearly wants to find a story when there is not one, maybe you should get a job at The Hook.
If one believes in the interconnectedness of life and that we are all part of one human family, why would you want to see any of your relatives killed? Even if you don't believe that, what purpose beyond satisfying some atavistic thirst for revenge does capital punishment serve? It is not really a deterrent. Most civilized countries do not kill for even the most heinous crimes and their crime rates, especially violent crime rates, are much lower than ours. People who kill other people are often quite disturbed and simple-minded souls, wouldn't you say? And that simple-mindedness often absorbs the values and morals of the culture in which they live. In a culture such as ours which often sensationalizes violence, which offers daily amusements on the subject of murder, which is often at war, and which, yes, sanctions the taking of life when it thinks it has good reason, we shouldn't be surprised when one or two of our children take our culture of death a little too seriously and in moments of madness, intoxication, or worse find some reason or impulse to eliminate their brother or sister when they get in their way. I personally am heartened that the city in which I live seems reluctant to pursue death for awful crimes. It keeps alive the illusion that civilization becomes more enlightened over time...
In my position as a counselor I happened to work with one of these men when he was a teenager. In NO WAY am I excusing his actions! But if you understood where he came from. The pathetic excuses for parents he had. He was at that time, a decent, caring kid. He will pay with his life regardless, rotting in a cell. His parents should go with him. They F^%$(*& abandoned him and were party to his abuse and neglect, which robbed him eventually of his compassion for anyone other than himself.
How horribly sad and senseless .
Some thing's are just too difficult to comprehend .
sorry 4 her, and her family, but miss pasty might ask for 10 yrs, but a meat beater she ask for 100yrs.
To Hobbit: I don't disagree that the past can affect your future, BUT every individual is 100% accountable for themselves. I personally have been sexually abused by a male family member & physically abused as a child, emotionally abused, raised in an alcoholic household in a religious cult, & am a survivor of domestic violence. I was also drugged and raped by a neighbor while at a friends home a few years ago and became pregnant. At that point I decided not to have an abortion but to give it up instead, then I miscarried, and turned to drugs because I just didn't care any more. No matter what has been done to me and the decisions other's have made that have profoundly impacted me as a person I have always been a responsible adult and there isn't anyone that could begin to imagine these things about me. The few I've ever told truly are shocked because they don't believe anyone could overcome such difficulties. It's not easy, but I am accountable for myself. It's not my fault that these things have happened, but I'm certain that the people that are responsible for it all would not be hurt by any poor decisions I might make in order to deal with what life has handed me. I would only hurt myself and other's that don't deserve it.
So. While I feel for people that have more hardship to endure than other's I feel zero sympathy for those that take it out on people that don't deserve it. It's a hard row to hoe, but it's not an excuse for being a homicidal maniac. It's sad, and will happen again to someone else, but to say that if only we knew where he came from....hopefully your counseling advice was more solid than that.
The reports indicate that they were stoned at the time of the murder - so yes, weed. Also - my understanding from the press is that the parents took the death penalty off of the table.
As long as we have the same group in the Com Att office, no one will ever recieve a death penalty. The powers (and the reining-local DEMOCRATS) are all in on this together. It appears, they don't believe the death penalty is ever justified, because they don't agree with death as punishment. Look at the sentencing history while they have held their posts.
I agree with the counselor Hobbitt. Neglectful parents are coddled in this town. The killers were groomed for many years, and while the schools,social services and juvee system let it happen.
truthbetold, So they say, they were stoned?? They are also filthy people lacking a conscience. Too bad taxpayers must clothe and feed the @@33$%^'s for the rest of their lives. Everyone knows the Catholic parents expressed they didn't want the men killed. The girl's parents gave the Com Att office an out, this time. The actual,real truth here, continues to be the fact, the current Com Att's office will NEVER offer the option of a death sentence in Charlottesville.
That is my point here.
As long as you live in a liberal town, not one of these shrub huggers is going to offer the death penalty. To them the only precious life is the one thats still breathing, not the one that isn't. Don't milk a cow, drink soy, don't build business you might employ people and then how could we make you pay for them not to work, don't punish murders by taking their life you should pay for them to stay alive until they die naturally, yada yada yada...
I say give as good as she got, that is whats fair to the poor woman that lost her life. If they had to feel the terror she felt, feel the bullets as they entered their body like she did and every criminal out there knew they would have to face the same kind of fate their victims did, I bet you billions violent crime would fall down to nothing!
I know many fine citizens of the Catholic faith and I respect they are often against the death penalty. I also believe in the separation of church and the govt. It was understandable that the parents of the girl be given an opportunity for input. The part that floors me, EVERY TIME someone is murdered in Charlottesville, it is a GIVEN they will never be put to death. The Com Att office, in association with certain lawyers, make sure of it too. Not too long ago, a man killed a little kid here. Morgan Harrington may possibly have been murdered within the city limits. It is appropriate the court staff move beyond own their personal religious beliefs or political slant. Charlottesville may as well plant a sign at the city court house, KILL IN CHARLOTTESVILLE AND YOU WILL NEVER FACE THE CHAIR.
The setup isn't hard to figure out, even for the criminals!
well, go figure, how about you go to college, go to law school, become an attorney and hand out the death penalty right and left? i mean, you sound really smart -- why not work hard to be come part of the solution instead of sniping at those who have a different viewpoint than you do about the efficacy of the death penalty as deterrent and about the morality of state-sponsored killing (Catholics, for example)?
then you also have to admit that other citizens resent their tax dollars being used to do something their religion teaches them is wrong--that is, execute people. there's not really any way to make every single taxpayer in the u.s. happy with everything his/her tax dollars are used for, is there?
I meant, that I feel there are too many murders in Charlottesville. Just expressing my opinion.
Why did it take Michael Pritchett so long to "tell the truth and admit" he killed the girl? Doing so,the night before the trial shows what a manipulator he is, and I hope the court sees through his last minute confession. To me, that shows he is really not sorry for what he did.
I must admit,I resent my tax dollars being used to house and feed the likes of him, for the rest of his days.
If Lee Malvo had done all of his shootin up, here in Cville, the boys downtown would have hired L. Snook, and ole Lee wouldn't now be facing the goodbye needle. Scary thought!
Get Real, you don't have any evidence that there are "too many murders" for a town this size (I'm not sure what "respectable" means, nor what bearing the university has). Any murder is too many, of course, but the question is, statistically, how do we compare? I haven't done the research, so for me it's an open question. You haven't done the research, but you seem to have drawn a conclusion nonetheless.
Do I believe the world would be a better place if Hitler and McVeigh had been given life in prison? Better how? Better as in safer? I think it makes minimal difference to public safety whether someone is imprisoned for life (no parole) or put to death. I do not believe the DP has a deterrent effect, and the preponderance of the research bears me out. I'm concerned mostly with public safety, not with vengeance or playing God ("you get to live, but you die") or anything like that. So I read "better" as "safer," and I don't see how executing McVeigh made us safer than imprisoning him for life with no parole would have made us. Or Hitler.
Soyhugger,Hoolarious, Question: Do you believe the world would be a better place if Adolf Hitler and Timothy Mcveigh had been given life in prison? Just wondering.
Hoolarious, I understand exactly what you are saying. I know the cards are stacked against the DP in Charlottesville, because of the politics at hand. I also realize the Com Att position, is an elected office, although there is only one choice on the ballot. I'm unsure what drives the local office to steer toward one view, but I understand religious leanings are a big part of it. And THAT should be against the law. I just think it is unfair and possibly unwise for any city to take the DP option completely off the table. There are some crimes wherein the general public would want a death penalty.
Downing, Such a balanced approach, as your Father had while Com Att, is exactly what is missing in this city. It makes no sense whatsoever, to completely rule out the DP option. God forbid, this city were to experience a worst incident within the current political climate. I wonder how some of the anti DP posters would respond, if God forbid, horrific crime happened to their own daughter? Many of the victims don't die easily. Many in prison don't have a conscience or regret their crime. They just drain off of the system. Life in prison is set up to be too easy. How do I know? An acquaintance of mine worked in the state yard. He told me, many of the lifeies really get used to the routine. They enjoy the food, watch TV, read, and even make and enjoy friendships, All without being "required" to work. The liberal brainwashing in this city is getting old. They think they know it all. They believe they are smarter than the other side. The true crime reports locally are unknown to the public. People are afraid, even in good neighborhoods, and they should be.
My Dad was Commonwealth Attorney for 20 years and asked for the death penalty once. Sometimes there are crimes so heinous and such an insult to common decency and humanity that they deserve the death penalty and this is such a crime. I feel pretty certin my Dad would have asked for it in this case.
But there are a couple of other things this murder shows. Back in my Dad's day this crime would have been very rare which is why he only asked for the death penalty once. Today we seem to be desensitized to horrible crimes like this and there seem to be a lot more of them. The other thing is that this crime has stolen my sense of safety in Charlottesville. Something awful can happen to you anywhere at any time.
quote: "The other thing is that this crime has stolen my sense of safety in Charlottesville. Something awful can happen to you anywhere at any time."
I would have thought the McGowan murder would already have done that????
quote: "The true crime reports locally are unknown to the public."
Absolutely! This past summer and fall this town was busted wide open with vandalisms and thefts. There wasn't a neighborhood in town where residents weren't asking, "WTF is going on?" As soon as the weather warms up a tad, it will start again.
And I am a firm believer that the "missing person" Morgan Harrington case would never have been exposed if the cop shoppes and/or UVA had any choice in the matter.
Downing Smith was one of the finest public servants this community has had the good fortune to have. I once sat on a jury where he was involved, not as the prosecutor but as a witness.(It was a perjury case during the time he was an assistant Commonwealth Attorney for the city. He brought charges against some habitual felon who had lied in General District Court.)
As for the death penalty,I can accept the intellectual arguments against it. There is the issue of racial and economic bias in its application, historically. And most importantly,the issue of a possible wrongful conviction.
But on a visceral level-where there is no question of guilt, where the crime is horrific and inexcusable, I must admit I feel differently. Its not about vengeance, but about protecting society.
The argument is made that somehow one who has committed a horrible, senseless crime like the McGowan murder is not really responsible for his act due to past circumstances in his own life.
Well neither is an animal infected with rabies-it really does not know what its doing either. But we destroy it for the good of society. Why not the same for some psychopathic killers? Or for that matter for some sex offenders like brutal rapists or those who have sexually attacked small children?
As for the religious argument I won't go into that, being one who is pro-choice on the abortion issue and who has come to view capital punishment as the appropriate penalty in some circumstances.
Incidentally, I think people are likely correct about the Charlottesville Commonwealth Attorney's view of the death penalty.
truthbetold, they didn't do this for weed...crack? maybe...weed? no. potheads don't do sh** like this. It's cases like these that make me reluctantly agree we need a death penalty, and I'm surprised it wasn't sought. I guess there always is a risk you won't get a conviction and the Commonwealth's Attorney bargained that risk away by letting the defendants bargain the death penalty off the table, which is somewhat understandable. Still a person that puts the black-market dollar value on par with a human life, really isn't human himself, and our species is better off without such cancers on it. I wouldn't lose ANY sleep if something really bad happened to these guys in prison.
i meant "the black market dollar value of a laptop on par with a human life"
Those two made choices,THE GIRL WAS AN INNOCENT VICTIM IN HER OWN HOME. So we'll take two bumbling criminals and send em to badguy school for maybe 20 years on our dime, then release them on society, angry, buff,well fed and experienced at not getting caught doin dirt. There's more than two solutions to every problem and some of them will work if they are implemented. As for local law enforcement, if ya go North or South on 29 from the farm where they found Morgan Harrington, formiles there are signs littering the landscape warning u to click it or ticket, Whithin a mile of anchorage farm there is a 20'x50' billboard (which probably made Morgan and her friends feel safe on their ride in to C'ville)it says seatbelts strictly enforced"... abduction murder and likely rape...not so much. Both of these crimes strike home for me , on top of the unsolved "29 stalker" case, as a father I want action, but realize the authorities probably have more info than can be publicized but that doesn't change the fact that the body of Miss Harrington was found near my home, and I worked with family of the killers of Mcgowan when that happened. This really is about a preditorial lack of respect for women and a result of the absence of fear of consequences, parents who don't care have no power over their kids early on, and the kids grow up with poor impulse control and as they say birds of a feather flock together

Morgan Stanley appears to be mulling the closure of some wealth-management complexes, trimming support staff and boosting production levels at some branches, according in industry experts and several news reports on Tuesday.
"What is surprising to me is that they have picked this time to cut staff, which risks hurting service levels by putting more decisions into the hands of fewer people," said Danny Sarch of Leitner Sarch Consultants, in an interview on Wednesday. "I question the timing of this, especially since the advisor population is already stressed because of technology challenges. They risk hurting the service level at the worst possible time."
A company spokesperson declined to comment on the latest reports about cost-cutting, which follow several rounds of advisor layoffs over the past two years or so.
Morgan Stanley, which is led by James Gorman (left) recently announced a 50% drop in second-quarter profits, which totaled $563 million, compared with profits of $1.19 billion a year ago. (After a negative adjustment of about $1.7 billion, or $1.02 per diluted share, related to a stock conversion, the bank reported a loss of 36 cents a share a year ago, compared with second-quarter earnings of 28 cents a share this year.)
It also said that the number of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney (MSSB) advisors dropped 2% from last quarter and 6% from last year to 16,934.
Morgan Stanley (MS) and Citigroup (C) continue to dispute the value of the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney joint venture, in which Morgan Stanley would like to raise its stake by 14% from 51%.
Citigroup has placed the full value of MSSB at $22 billion, while Morgan Stanley says it's worth only $9 billion (though its SEC filings put the value closer to $12 billion).
Both banks are now working with Perella Weinberg Partners on an appraisal, which could give it a value of closer to the $15 billion that Wall Street analysts have given it. The process could be wrapped up by September.
"The best firms in the business put clients first and advisors, and then they create client and advisor loyalty to build shareholder value," explained Sarch, who notes that the valuation dispute puts Morgan Stanley in "an awkward situation" and, at the same time, the firm is under stress to improve earnings.

Directed by Baek Ho-min (백호민)
Screenplay by Jeong Ha-yeon (정하연)MBC | Airing dates : 2010/10/02~2011/03/27
50 episodes - Sat, Sun 21:45
Previously known as "One and Only Love" (여자는 일생에 단 한번 사랑한다, Yeo-ja-neun In-saeng-e Dan Han-beon Sa-rang-eul Han-da)
Revolving around the bickering members of a superrich family, their greed and ambition bring them into a downward spiral. The drama shows how the pursuit of material wealth and power does not bring happiness and for some, it can be a curse. Star-crossed lovers and demeaning treatment towards people perceived to be of a lower station are used as story arcs in the drama and also as lessons to viewers. When the family members conspire against each other to seize control of the family business, the intricacies of each characters personality is portrayed vividly, giving them a three-dimensional persona. Rich people are just like normal people and also have normal problems once you look beyond their enormous wealth. Despite being beset with typical problems that families have, these rich family members have to keep up with appearances that they command a loftier place in society and hardly deal with problems that the Average Joe faces. This drama peels away those layers to show that they are humans too with flaws.
Yoon Na-young (Sin Eun-kyeong, 46)
Kim Young-mins wife. She was a headstrong girl when she was growing up. To guarantee her happiness, she will use any means to get what she wants. Her face can change from a scowl to a smile in a flash depending on her mood.
Kim Young-min (Jo Min-ki, 48)
The third son of the chairman of Atlantic Group. His dream was to become a college professor but after his father arranged him to marry Yoon Na-young, his career plans abruptly changed. Unable to disobey his fathers wishes, he joins the family business and faithfully toils at the company. He is depressed that he cant be with his sweetheart and this sadness consumes his heart. When his brothers fight over control of the Atlantic Group, he takes a neutral position but shows compassion towards both of his brothers as he values family more than anything else.
Kim Min-jae (Yoo Seung-ho, 24)
Son of Kim Young-min. He is a naïve boy with a sweet personality. Like his father, he is not interested in the business of making profits. His main interest is art. He falls in love with a girl and accepts her heavy past with an understanding heart. Even when he learns who his real mother is, it doesnt make him waver from choosing the girl he wants to spend the rest of his life with.
Baek In-gi (Seo Woo, 23)
Baek In-gi is a movie actress who is a divisive figure. Some people despise her while her fans adore her. She is able to overcome her heavy past and break out as a successful actress. She considers relationships and the attainment of wealth as a game of luck and cunning, and thus, she believes happiness will come to her if she emerges as a winner.
