This document attempts to explain the basic styles and patterns that are used in the Mozilla codebase. New code should try to conform to these standards so that it is as easy to maintain as existing code. Of course every rule has an exception, but it's important to know the rules nonetheless!
This is particularly directed at people new to the Mozilla codebase, who are in the process of getting their code reviewed. Before getting a review, please read over this document and make sure your code conforms to the recommendations here.
General practices
- Don't put an
right after areturn
. Delete theelse
, it's unnecessary and increases indentation level. - Don't leave debug
s ordump
s lying around. - Use Unix-style carriage returns ("
") rather than Windows/DOS ones ("\r\n
"). You can convert patches with DOS newlines to Unix via the 'dos2unix' utility, or your favorite text editor. - Use two spaces for indentation.
- Use JavaDoc-style comments.
- When fixing a problem, check to see if the problem occurs elsewhere in the same file, and fix it everywhere if possible.
- End the file with a newline (make sure your patches don't contain files with the text "no newline at end of file" in them).
- Declare local variables as near to their use as possible.
- For new files, be sure to use the right license boilerplate per our license policy. (Employees of the Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiaries, including the Mozilla Corporation, should note that, in their case, the Initial Developer is the Mozilla Foundation.)
C/C++ practices
- Do the changes meet the C++ Portability Guide?
- Have you checked for compiler warnings? Warnings often point to real bugs.
- In new code, use
for pointers. In old code, usingnsnull
for consistency is allowed. - Don't use
in C++, usebool
instead. - When testing a pointer, use
; don't usemyPtr != nsnull
ormyPtr == nsnull
. - Do not compare
x == true
orx == false
. Use(x)
instead.x == false
, in fact, is different from if(x)
! - On whether to use
nsFoo aFoo (bFoo)
ornsFoo aFoo = bFoo
: For first tier platforms, although the former is theoretically better, there is probably no reason to prefer it over the latter form. This is good, since everyone agrees, the form with "=" looks better. More data for second tier platforms would be good. - To avoid warnings created by variables used only in debug builds, use the
helper when declaring them. - You should use the static preference API for working with preferences.
- Forward declare classes in your header files instead of including them whenever possible. For example, if you have an interface with a
void DoSomething(nsIContent* aContent)
function, forward declare withclass nsIContent;
instead of#include "nsIContent.h"
JavaScript practices
- Make sure you are aware of the JavaScript Tips.
- Do not compare
x == true
orx == false
. Use(x)
instead.x == true
, in fact, is different from if(x)
! Compare objects tonull
, numbers to0
or strings to""
if there is chance for confusion. - Make sure that your code doesn't generate any strict JavaScript warnings, such as:
- Duplicate variable declaration
- Mixing
withreturn value;
- Undeclared variables or members. If you are unsure if an array value exists, compare the index to the array's length. If you are unsure if an object member exists, use
"name" in aObject
, or if you are expecting a particular type you may usetypeof(aObject.name) == "function"
(or whichever type you are expecting).
- Use
{{ mediawiki.external('value1, value2') }}
to create a JavaScript array in preference to usingnew Array(value1, value2)
which can be confusing, asnew Array(length)
will actually create a physically empty array with the given logical length, while{{ mediawiki.external('value') }}
will always create a 1-element array. You cannot actually guarantee to be able to preallocate memory for an array. - Use
{ member: value, ... }
to create a JavaScript object; a useful advantage overnew Object()
is the ability to create initial properties and use extended JavaScript syntax to define getters and setters. - If having defined a constructor you need to assign default properties it is preferred to assign an object literal to the prototype property.
- Use regular expressions, but use them wisely. For instance, to check that
is not completely whitespace use/\S/.test(aString);
only useaString.search
if you need to know the position of the result, oraString.match
if you need to collect matching substrings (delimited by parentheses in the regular expression). Regular expressions are less useful if the match is unknown in advance, or to extract substrings in known positions in the string. For instance,aString.slice(-1)
returns the last letter inaString
, or the empty string ifaString
is empty.
Makefile practices
- Shell commands are expensive esp for windows/mingw, so use sparingly.
- Generate/use pre-computed macro values whenever possible.
- Use make builtin functions to perform string manipulation in place of $(shell awk/perl/python/sed/tr).
- Use platform values defined by autoconf.mk & configure.mk in place of
$(shell uname [args])
.- Version/OS conditionals in general are bad but when needed modify configure to generate a static value once for everyone to use.
- Target rules should be written with dependencies so work will only be performed when needed.
- Never make generated targets dependent on directories. Targets become stale whenever any directory content is modified.
- Launch make command twice to verify dependencies: "make ; make".
- Make#1 is the workhorse and will generate everything on the initial pass.
- Make#2 will mostly be a nop. Aside from minimal overhead (~traversal) make should return quickly and perform no work.
Python practices
- Do not place statements on the same line as
conditionals to form a one-liner. - Global vars, avoid them at all cost.
- Exclude outer parenthesis from conditionals. Use
if x > 5:
rather thanif (x > 5):
- Use string formatters rather than var + str(val).
var = 'Type %s value is %d' % ('int', 5)
- Utilize tools like http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pylint or http://pychecker.sourceforge.net to screen sources for common problems.
- Testing/Unit tests, write them.
- See also PEP 8 and Code Like a Pythonista.
COM, pointers and strings
- Use
If you don't know how to use it, start looking in the code for examples. The general rule is that the very act of typingNS_RELEASE
should be a signal to you to question your code: "Should I be usingnsCOMPtr
here?". Generally the only valid use ofNS_RELEASE
are when you are storing refcounted pointers in a long-lived datastructure. - Declare new XPCOM interfaces using XPIDL so they will be scriptable.
- Use nsCOMPtr for strong references, and nsWeakPtr for weak references.
- String arguments to functions should be declared as
. - Use
instead ofNS_LITERAL_STRING("")
ornsAutoString empty
;. - Use
instead ofstr.Length() == 0
. - Use
instead ofstr.SetLength(0)
. - Don't use
directly. UseCallQueryInterface
instead. nsresult
should be declared asrv
. Not res, not result, not foo.- For constant strings, use
instead ofNS_ConvertASCIItoUCS2("...")
, ornsAutoString()
- Use contractids instead of progids or class IDs.
Use leading-lowercase, or "interCaps"
When defining a method or attribute in IDL, the first letter should be lowercase, and each following word should be capitalized. For example:
long updateStatusBar();
Use attributes wherever possible
Whenever you are retrieving or setting a single value without any context, you should use attributes. Don't use two methods when you could use one attribute. Using attributes logically connects the getting and setting of a value, and makes scripted code look cleaner.
This example has too many methods:
interface nsIFoo : nsISupports { long getLength(); void setLength(in long length); long getColor(); };
The code below will generate the exact same C++ signature, but is more script-friendly.
interface nsIFoo : nsISupports { attribute long length; readonly attribute long color; };
Use Java-style constants
When defining scriptable constants in IDL, the name should be all uppercase, with underscores between words:
const long ERROR_UNDEFINED_VARIABLE = 1;

For details on interface development, as well as more detailed style guides, see the Interface development guide.
Error handling
Check for errors early and often
Every time you make a call into an XPCOM function, you should check for an error condition. You need to do this even if you know that call will never fail. Why?
- Someone may change the callee in the future to return a failure condition.
- The object in question may live on another thread, another process, or possibly even another machine. The proxy could have failed to actually make your call in the first place.
Use the nice macros
Use the NS_ENSURE_SUCCESS(rv, rv)
and NS_ENSURE_TRUE(expr, rv)
macros in place of if (NS_FAILED(rv)) { return rv; }
and if (!expr) { return rv; }
, unless the failure is a normal condition (i.e. you don't want it to warn on a debug build).
Return from errors immediately
In most cases, your knee-jerk reaction should be to return from the current function when an error condition occurs. Don't do this:
rv = foo->Call1(); if (NS_SUCCEEDED(rv)) { rv = foo->Call2(); if (NS_SUCCEEDED(rv)) { rv = foo->Call3(); } } return rv;
Instead, do this:
rv = foo->Call1(); NS_ENSURE_SUCCESS(rv, rv); rv = foo->Call2(); NS_ENSURE_SUCCESS(rv, rv); rv = foo->Call3(); NS_ENSURE_SUCCESS(rv, rv);
Why? Because error handling should not obfuscate the logic of the code. The author's intent in the first example was to make 3 calls in succession, but wrapping the calls in nested if() statements obscured the most likely behavior of the code.
Consider a more complicated example that actually hides a bug:
bool val; rv = foo->GetBooleanValue(&val); if (NS_SUCCEEDED(rv) && val) { foo->Call1(); } else { foo->Call2(); }
The intent of the author may have been that foo->Call2() would only happen when val had a false value. In fact, foo->Call2() will also be called when foo->GetBooleanValue(&val) fails. This may or may not have been the author's intent, and it is not clear from this code. Here is an updated version:
bool val; rv = foo->GetBooleanValue(&val); if (NS_FAILED(rv)) return rv; if (val) { foo->Call1(); } else { foo->Call2(); }
In this example, the author's intent is clear, and an error condition avoids both calls to foo->Call1() and foo->Call2();
Possible exceptions: Sometimes it is not fatal if a call fails. For instance, if you are notifying a series of observers that an event has fired, it might be inconsequential that one of these notifications failed:
for (size_t i = 0; i < length; i++) { // we don't care if any individual observer fails observers[i]->Observe(foo, bar, baz); }
Another possibility is that you are not sure if a component exists or is installed, and you wish to continue normally if the component is not found.
nsCOMPtr<nsIMyService> service = do_CreateInstance(NS_MYSERVICE_CID, &rv); // if the service is installed, then we'll use it if (NS_SUCCEEDED(rv)) { // non-fatal if this fails too, ignore this error service->DoSomething(); // this is important, handle this error! rv = service->DoSomethingImportant(); NS_ENSURE_SUCCESS(rv, rv); } // continue normally whether or not the service exists
C++ strings
Use the Auto
form of strings for local values
When declaring a local, short-lived nsString
class, always use nsAutoString
or nsCAutoString
- these versions pre-allocate a 64-byte buffer on the stack, and avoid fragmenting the heap. Don't do this:
nsresult foo() { nsCString bar; .. }
nsresult foo() { nsCAutoString bar; .. }
Be wary of leaking values from non-XPCOM functions that return char* or PRUnichar*
It is an easy trap to return an allocated string from an internal helper function, and then use that function inline in your code without freeing the value. Consider this code:
static char* GetStringValue() { .. return resultString.ToNewCString(); } .. WarnUser(GetStringValue());
In the above example, WarnUser will get the string allocated from resultString.ToNewCString()
and throw away the pointer. The resulting value is never freed. Instead, either use the string classes to make sure your string is automatically freed when it goes out of scope, or make sure that your string is freed.
Automatic cleanup:
static void GetStringValue(nsAWritableCString& aResult) { .. aResult.Assign("resulting string"); } .. nsCAutoString warning; GetStringValue(warning); WarnUser(warning.get());
Free the string manually:
static char* GetStringValue() { .. return resultString.ToNewCString(); } .. char* warning = GetStringValue(); WarnUser(warning); nsMemory::Free(warning);
Use NS_LITERAL_STRING() to avoid runtime string conversion
It is very common to need to assign the value of a literal string such as "Some String" into a unicode buffer. Instead of using nsString
's AssignWithConversion
and AppendWithConversion
, use NS_LITERAL_STRING()
instead. On most platforms, this will force the compiler to compile in a raw unicode string, and assign it directly.
nsAutoString warning; warning.AssignWithConversion("danger will robinson!"); .. foo->SetUnicodeValue(warning.get());
NS_NAMED_LITERAL_STRING(warning,"danger will robinson!"); .. // if you'll be using the 'warning' string, you can still use it as before: foo->SetUnicodeValue(warning.get()); // alternatively, use the wide string directly: foo->SetUnicodeValue(NS_LITERAL_STRING("danger will robinson!").get());
Naming and formatting code
The following norms should be followed for new code, and for Tower of Babel code that needs cleanup. For existing code, use the prevailing style in a file or module, or ask the owner if you are on someone else's turf and it's not clear what style to use.
No tabs. No whitespace at the end of a line.
Line length
80 characters or less (for laptop side-by-side diffing and two-window tiling; also for Bonsai / hgweb and hardcopy printing).
Two spaces per logic level.
Note that class visibility and goto labels do not consume a logic level, but switch case labels do. See examples below.
Control structures
Use K&R bracing style: left brace at end of first line, cuddle else on both sides.
Always brace controlled statements, even a single-line consequent of an if else else
. This is redundant typically, but it avoids dangling else bugs, so it's safer at scale than fine-tuning.
Break long conditions after &&
and ||
logical connectives. See below for the rule for other operators.
if (...) { } else if (...) { } else { } while (...) { } do { } while (...); for (...; ...; ...) { } switch (...) { case 1: { // When you need to declare a variable in a switch, put the block in braces int var; break; } case 2: ... break; default: break; }
Control keywords if
, for
, while
, and switch
are always followed by a space to distinguish them from function calls which have no trailing space.
C++ namespaces
Mozilla project C++ declarations should be in the "mozilla" namespace. Modules can define their own namespaces under "mozilla", with short all-lowercase names, but are not allowed to add declarations to the "mozilla" namespace.
No "using" statements are allowed in header files, except inside class definitions or functions. (We don't want to pollute the global scope of compilation units that use the header file.) Introduce typedefs so as to avoid writing namespace-prefixed type names in non-namespaced classes. For example:
class MyClass { public: typedef mozilla::TimeStamp TimeStamp; TimeStamp mStartTime; TimeStamp mEndTime; };
Be wise about the visibility of these typedefs. They should be private or protected unless there's a good reason to make them public. For example, a public Array::size_type
makes sense, but a public MyClass::TimeStamp
above probably doesn't.
using namespace ...;
is only allowed in .cpp files after all #include
s. Prefer to wrap code in namespace ... { ... };
instead if possible.
Don't indent code inside namespace ... { ... }
. You can prevent this inside emacs by setting the "innamespace" offset:
(c-set-offset 'innamespace 0)
C++ classes
namespace mozilla { class MyClass : public X , public Y { public: MyClass() : mVar(0) { ... }; private: int mVar; }; } // namespace mozilla
Existing classes in the global namespace are named with a short prefix (e.g. "ns") as a psuedo-namespace.
For small functions in a class declaration, it's OK to do the above. For larger ones use something similar to method declarations below.
Methods and functions
In C/C++, method names should be capitalized and use CamelCase.
int MyFunction(...) { ... } int MyClass::Method(...) { ... }
Getters that never fail and never return null are named Foo()
, while all other getters use GetFoo()
. nsresult GetFoo(Foo** aOutFoo)
is preferred over Foo* GetFoo(nsresult* aRv)
. (See {{ bug("223255") }} for more information.)
In JavaScript, functions should use camelCase but should not capitalize the first letter. Methods should use the named function expression syntax so that stack traces read better:
doSomething: function MyObject_doSomething(aFoo, aBar) { ... }
In-line functions should have spaces around braces, except before commas or semicolons:
function valueObject(aValue) { return { value: aValue }; }
JavaScript objects
var foo = { prop1: "value1" }; var bar = { prop1: "value1", prop2: "value2" };
Constructors for objects should be capitalized and use CamelCase:
function ObjectConstructor() { this.foo = "bar"; }
Mode line
Files should have Emacs and vim mode line comments as the first two lines of the file, which should set indent-tabs-mode to nil. For new files, use this, specifying two-space indentation:
/* -*- Mode: C++; tab-width: 8; indent-tabs-mode: nil; c-basic-offset: 2 -*- */ /* vim: set ts=2 et sw=2 tw=80: */
Make sure to use the correct "Mode" in the first line—don't use "C++" in JavaScript files.
Canonical C++ style favors T* p
for a typename T
and a declarator name p
. This style requires programmer discipline to avoid T* p, q;
where T* p; T* q;
was intended. For new C++ code, this is the best style to use. Watch out for existing modules that use T *p
style still (e.g., the SpiderMonkey JS engine).
Overlong expressions not joined by &&
and ||
should break so the operator starts on the second line and starts in the same column as the start of the expression in the first line. This applies to ?:
, binary arithmetic operators including +
, and member-of operators (in particular the .
operator in JS, see the Rationale).
Rationale: operator at the front of the continuation line makes for faster visual scanning, because there is no need to read to end of line. Also there exists a context-sensitive keyword hazard in JS, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442099#c19, which can be avoided by putting . at the start of a continuation line in long member expression.
In JavaScript, ==
is preferred to ===
Unary keyword operators, such as typeof
and sizeof
, should have their operand parenthesized; e.g. typeof("foo") == "string"
Double-quoted strings (e.g. "foo"
) are preferred to single-quoted strings (e.g. 'foo'
) in JavaScript, except to avoid escaping of embedded double quotes or when assigning inline event handlers.
Use \uXXXX
unicode escapes for non-ASCII characters. The character set for XUL, DTD, script, and properties files is UTF-8, which is not easily readable.
Follow these naming prefix conventions:
Variable prefixes
- k=constant (e.g.
). Not all code uses this style; some usesALL_CAPS
for constants. - g=global (e.g.
) - a=argument (e.g.
) - C++ Specific Prefixes
- s=static member (e.g.
) - m=member (e.g.
- s=static member (e.g.
- JavaScript Specific Prefixes
- _=member (variable or function) (e.g.
) - k=enumeration value (e.g.
const kDisplayModeNormal = 0
) - on=event handler (e.g.
function onLoad()
- _=member (variable or function) (e.g.
:const nsISupports = Components.interfaces.nsISupports;
const nsIWBN = Components.interfaces.nsIWebBrowserNavigation;
Global functions/macros/etc
- Macros begin with
, and are all caps (e.g.NS_IMPL_ISUPPORTS
) - Global functions with extern "C" linkage begin with NS_ (e.g.
Usage of PR_(MAX|MIN|ABS|ROUNDUP) macro calls
On certain platforms (eg: FreeBSD which uses gcc42, due to licensing issues with recent gcc versions), the PR_(MAX|MIN|ABS|ROUNDUP) macro calls trigger compiler bugs that cause wrong results in some cases (see bug 603880, comment 7). All PR_(MAX|MIN|ABS|ROUNDUP) calls in C++ code (other than that in NSS/NSPR) have been replaced by the equivalent NS_(MAX|MIN|ABS|ROUNDUP) inline calls by bug 645398 and bug 661584. All new code in Firefox/core/toolkit needs to |#include "nsAlgorithm.h"| and use the NS_foo varients instead of PR_foo.

Essential Information
Trip Profile
Average daily distance: 50km (31 miles)
No. of days cycling: 11
Vehicle support: 100%.
Terrain and route: mostly good roads but with some broken tarmac and unsurfaced sections. Routes follow a mixture of back roads and a few main roads, but Burma lacks the heavy traffic of other Asian countries. Burma is mountainous and there are a few tough climbs and long downhills in the first week, but vehicle support is always available.
The second week is generally flatter between Mandalay and Bagan, except for the day to Mt Popa.
Conditions will be hot and humid, but rests and water are on hand.
13 nights standard hotels, all en suite.
14 breakfasts included.
Reality Check
This trip is classified road and graded B. Please see the introductory pages of the Cycling holidays brochure for more important information on classification and grading.
If you have any queries about the difficulty of the trip please do not hesitate to call us.
Normal group size and age
Normally 6 to 18, plus local leaders. Minimum age 16.
Icons explained
The vast majority of Exodus adventures are adult group holidays. Groups are always small in size. We strongly believe that this adherence to small groups means a better experience for all; more time with your guide, less waiting around and a reduced impact on the communities and environments visited.
Each group is generally made up of like-minded travellers - with singles, couples and friends all joining in together.
All these trips are suitable for single travellers, but if you prefer to travel with clients booking individually, please
see our Solo Departures page.
Most people who enjoy a weekend riding on either trails or roads at home will enjoy a B-grade trip. You need to be in good health and reasonably fit. Ideal for occasional cyclists, or as a more relaxed trip for fitter riders. B-grade off-road trips require no previous experience. Distances on road trips rarely exceed 70 kms (43 miles) per day.
Cycling: Our cycling holidays come in all shapes and sizes; from gentle self-guided trips in the Veneto, to tackling the High Atlas in Morocco, or exploring the length of Vietnam.
Culture: Let Exodus show you a different side to many of the world's greatest cultural attractions.

"It is the ultimate device to learn on" - that's just not true is it.
ReplyDelete I am also looking to learn and understand more about Linux, so I am embarking on my first attempt at Linux From Scratch (LFS). Long ago, I committed myself to become a lifelong learner and I now teach Linux, Programming and other IT classes. I also want to dig into the Raspberry PI (among others) and I'd like to center my Master's Thesis around one of these devices. Good Luck and God Bless!
ReplyDelete700mhz on an arm != 700mhz on x86. Just saying. I'm also surprised at the high expectations you had for a device not meant to replace a desktop. Rπ is awesome, but not for what it seems you want to do with it. It is not a mac mini. That said, thumbs up for learnings!

All very well made points. In the process of making Linux (and all OSes, really) more user friendly and providing better OOBE, things get dumbed down quite a bit, learning stops... and, most importantly, the end user becomes quiet spoiled in terms of expectations and therefore also in terms of gratitude. It sounds like the Raspberry Pi not only made you learn but also made you quite grateful, both of which are good things.
(I'm not saying it's bad to make things idiot-proof -- it isn't, because making things unnecessarily frustrating is no way to gain users and converts. But as we've seen with some major revisions in desktop UIs, making things idiot-proof and making the UI easier for a better OOBE also makes it harder for expert users to find and do what they want, and makes it harder for the end-user to learn anything of substance. If X = the complexity of the system, and Y = the rate at which the user learns more about the system, then X and Y are directly correlated and rise together. Whereas if X remains flat, Y remains flat. "It just works" = "I don't have to do/learn anything." There seems to be no solution to this "law" of end-user/system interactivity, with the result that only the most curious learn. But maybe that's the way it's always been, in reality, and things like Raspberry Pi only made it more obvious...?) There are several ways to buy dissertation these days. Regardless of variety, you'll find guides almost anywhere- community e-book shops, storage product sales, good friends accomplishing Early spring clean-up, or you buy guides on the internet.

Making a group video call (Windows desktop)
Have you downloaded Skype and joined us? Then you're ready to get calling.
With Skype Premium you can enjoy group video calls with three or more people, anywhere in the world.*
Learn more about all the benefits that Skype Premium lets you enjoy.
*Only Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Mac users can start a Skype group video call. Although mobile device users cannot initiate a group video call, they can join it.
Before you make a group video call
1 | Make sure that your webcam is working properly. If it's not working, these tips can help. |
2 | At least one of the people on the call must have Skype Premium (for personal accounts) or Skype Premium in Skype Manager™ (for Skype Manager members). |
3 | Each person on the call will also need to make sure that their system meets these requirements. |
To make a group video call
1 | In Skype, select the Create a group icon. |
2 | From the Contacts tab, click a contact you wish to add to the group video call and drag it into the Empty group area. |
3 | Repeat this for each of the contacts you wish to add to the call, or click the + button and select Add People. In the Add people screen, select who you want to add (Ctrl-click to select multiple people), click Select and then Add. You can add up to nine contacts, but for the best quality, we recommend group video calls with up to five contacts. |
4 | Click the Video call button . The screen changes color, a call bar appears near the bottom of the screen and you'll hear ringing until the other people answer. |
5 | Smile, wave, say hello to everyone! |
6 | If you can't see or hear each other, click the call quality icon on the call bar and check your settings (you may have to move your mouse to make the call bar appear). Get more help with checking your call quality settings. |
7 | To drop individual people from the call, move your mouse over the person's image and click the red icon. You'll only be able to do this if you are the host of the group video call. To hang up, click the End Call button. |
Useful things you can do on a call
- Hide or reveal your Contact, Facebook, and Recent list.
- Send instant messages during the call.
- Turn your camera on or off.
- Mute your microphone so the other person can't hear you.
- Display more options to:
- send files during the call
- send contacts to other people during the call
- add people to your call so you can make a group call
- show the dial pad so you can dial extensions or make DTMF tones
- End the call.
- Check your call quality settings and adjust your speaker volume.
- View or exit full screen mode.

Sort By :
It must be a hit! I was asked if I could make it again...
I made this last night using leftover ham and pineapple. It was great and will definitely be making this again.
Love this recipe for a quick meal when you're too tired to cook!! I use a 13x9 baking dish, not metal ...I use more hamburger than it calls for and also use about 1 and half jars of pizza sauce. Please use the cheap biscuits don't use nice Grands, those are too big! I spread a little pizza sauce over the biscuits first then sprinkle a little italian seasoning, then my meat sauce, I add toppings, whatever you like is fine, green peppers, black olives etc...lots of cheese :)
I made this a lot when my kids were still at home. Quick and easy with the taste of pizza! It's also great for potlucks.
It was delicious, and fun to make with my kids. We all loved the flavors, even the 18 month old!

Bella Acts With The Self Controll, And The Desires, Of A Vampire Decades Old, Not Hours ! But Why ?
After Bella is converted into a Vampire, Edward and the rest of her new family is stunned that she doesn't have the self controll of a "New Born Vampire," but rather that of a vampire who is decades old. And Bella is surprised too. Because Edward had told her that "for the first few years the thirst shall be so intense that you won't be able to think about THAT"! (That being an erotic desire, to be physicaly intimate with him) But she is surprised to find that not only is she attracted to him, she is physicaly attracted to him with an intensity that is far, far beyond anything she has experienced before.
White Rose Question: What is the reason (or reasons) that this is true ?

About MLAMLA Leaders Updates from the PresidentALA Annual Meeting, Anaheim, CA, June 26–July 1, 2008Thursday, June 26Carla Funk and I attended the American Library Association Annual Meeting in Anaheim, CA, in June. On Thursday evening, June 26, we participated in the Spectrum Professional Options Fair where we discussed health sciences librarianship with the graduating class of Spectrum scholars. The Spectrum Scholars are relatively new librarians who represent minorities and have been through an 18 month leadership training program. An MLA member, Shannon Jones, was one of the Scholars this year. After the fair, we participated in a meeting of representatives of different associations, such as the Association of Research Libraries and the Special Libraries Association, to share information on our activities from the past year and priorities for the coming year. The other associations are working on many activities similar to ones upon which we are currently working, including reviewing our ethics codes and recruitment/retention efforts. Friday, June 27I attended the exhibits, where I talked with staff at the NLM booth, the ALISE booth, and many others. I visited the "Green" Pavilion in the exhibit hall where self-selected vendors who either sell environmentally friendly products or promote environmentally friendly activities were located. On Friday afternoon, I attended a meeting of the ALA Ethics Committee. The committee has spent the past year reviewing ALA's ethics code and is planning some ways to promote the code to ALA members. The chair of the committee and I agreed to share information as we both move forward with ethics code activities. Carla and I participated in the ARL Leadership and Career Development Program Closing Ceremony, where the members of the graduating class exhibited posters representing the projects they worked on during their program. Saturday, June 28Carla and I attended the ALA Washington update to hear the latest on recently passed and pending legislation and planned advocacy activities. Then we attended a program on the future of libraries. I attended a presentation by Greg Martenson, author of Three Cups of Tea, who talked about his foundation which has established over 60 schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan, with special emphasis on the education of girls. He quoted an African proverb which says that if you education a boy, you educate an individual, but if you educate a girl, you educate a community. I met with Judy Consales, co-chair of the 2009 NPC, to discuss program preparations for the MLA '09 meeting in Honolulu, HI. Judy, Carla and I then attended a session on e-participation in ALA meetings and activities to see if we could get ideas which might be applicable to MLA. It was an interesting and useful session, although ALA is not any further along in this area than MLA. Carla and I had an evening meeting with Brenda Dreier, who works for our meeting planning company, to discuss preparations (other than programming) for the Honolulu meeting. We had a very productive meeting, with a discussion of ways to have a greener meeting, etc.Sunday, June 29I visited more exhibits, including the Environmental Protection Agency booth, where Carla and I had a long discussion with EPA employees about green meetings, etc. The EPA has a website with information on having green meetings which we will probably find very useful when planning for our meeting. We discussed our plans to help libraries be more environmentally friendly and we encouraged the EPA representatives to exhibit at our annual meeting next year. I then attended the opening session of the ALA council/membership meeting. Most of the time was spent disc using procedural matters and a change in the process for bringing resolutions before the council (ALA organizational structure is so different from MLA's, not a surprise considering ALA has over 60,000 members and we have less than 5,000). Carla and I attended the ALA Affiliates luncheon where we shared information with other groups affiliated with ALA. Once again, we found many commonalities in our priorities and concerns. Later in the afternoon, Carla and I attended the ALA Wellness fair, in which MLA member Joanne Marshall played a prominent part. Carla and I then participated in a meeting of people involved in IFLA planning activities, and much of the discussion centered on the upcoming IFLA meeting in Quebec in August. I later met with Becky Lyon to discuss emergency preparedness efforts and the addition of materials from the NLM National Training Center to MLA's CORE site. Some of the programs offered at the meeting which I did not have time to attend, but which related to our priorities for the coming year included the following:
I came away from this meeting with many ideas of things we can do at our meeting and with a renewed appreciation for MLA and our meetings. ALA is so large that it is hard to get a feeling of camaraderie, and some meetings were several blocks apart, making it difficult to attend several meetings in one morning or afternoon (there were shuttles, but these took time as well). |

Board of Directors Meeting, March 4, 1954 3Dr. Engle--I feel that if anything appears over the signature of the Medical Society it does touch upon physical and mental health as applied to delinquents, and we need not make such a restrained statement. It will not cost us anything; we will accept the cost individually. It is not a partisan issue. I think we would make any reasonable statement.Dr. Newcomg [ Newcomb ]--They have one room over there now in which maybe six workers and three deputies are trying to interview 10 different families, all with kids present. This is all in one room, not any bigger than this. You can imagine how efficient this would be. The bond issue is coming up this month, and I am afraid there is not enough time for investigation.Dr. Steen--why does the Judge not ask the Society to appoint a committee to investigate this matter?Dr. Newcomg [ Newcomb ]--There is not time. All they want is for the Society to say it is necessary for health reasons.Dr. Bean--I am not convinced that the health angle is particularly paramount. I think most of us recognize the need for better housing, but I am not sure we need to commit ourselves on a medical basis.Dr. Bernstein--Is it your pleasure that we subscribe, or agree, or lend our support to this bond issue as it stands at this moment? Any investigation would have to be in the future, as there is not time.Dr. Hayden--How many are incorrigible, and how many can be rehabilitated, and what it the case load?Dr. Newcomb--I cannot answer that. The case load is amazing, but the number under detention at one time will vary.Dr. Hayden--I move that the Society go on record as approving this program for expansion of the Juvenile Delinquent Detention Home, recognizing the needs of the community for such action.Dr. Harry Thompson--I second the motion.Motion, upon being put to vote, was carried, with one "No" registered by Dr. Costin.Dr. Darin W. Neubauer, chairman of the Civil Defense Committee, reported that all members have received latest developments in the program by mail.A letter received from Mr. E. Jay Howenstine, Executive Secretary of the Arizona Society for Crippled Children, concerning admitting Papago School Children for services under the School Health Program in the field of Hearing and Vision, was read by the Secretary.Dr. Bernstein inquired whether anyone present were more thoroughly acquainted with this problem than he.Dr. Harry Thompson asked why this should not go to the Committee for study and for definite recommendation, and he so moved.Dr. Engle remarked that Dr. Cogswell thoroughly understands the Indian situation, and has more interest in it than any one else perhaps.The motion above was seconded by Dr. Kuhlman, and upon being put to vote was carried.The President then opened discussion on membership and service at the Pima County Hospital.Dr. Bernstein--We have coming up for permanent membership a doctor who has been a tern member for two years and is about to go before the Society for election to permanent membership. Everything is apparently in order, except that one member of our Society has raised the question that this man, who is an ophthalmologist, and who, when applying for term membership accepted the service at County Hospital, has never fulfilled this service, for reasons which I do not know whether we need discuss right now. One of the other ophthalmologists in town asked whether, since he is unable to fulfill his service at Count Hospital, he is fit to serve as a member of the Society. Is there anyone here who knows about this problem and

If you have undergone a total joint replacement procedure, there are instances when infection in one part of the body may cause bacteria to circulate in the blood, possibly resulting in infection at the site of your implant.
Therefore it is essential that your personal physician and dentist be informed of your surgery.
It is important to maintain good dental hygiene and visit your dentist for routine care, whether you are experiencing a dental problem or not.
Prompt treatment of infections, particularly involving the skin and urinary tract, are also important.
For patients in their first two years following total joint replacement, it is recommended that you be considered to receive antibiotic treatment in preparation for certain dental procedures:
Suggested antibiotic prophylaxis regimens:
These recommendations come from the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.

We can eat up to 5 million right off the bat using the trading rules. For instance say:
Boozer/Hamilton for Henderson/Gordon
works and it cuts about 4.5 million off their cap instantly, not to mention the 18 million or so it'd save over the next 3 years.
OR they could send us Hinrich instead...push the overall savings to near 20 million (due to Hinrich's extra guaranteed year) and look to swap Hamilton to get them that extra couple million this year.
That's just in regards to US though. My post was concerning the idea that Chicago would wait til after the season to move Boozer in general. They most certainly might move Hamilton instead...but as cheap as Reinsdorf has been in the past it wouldn't shock me at all to see him dump Booz no matter how well he's playing at the moment.
BTW, just dumping Hamilton wouldn't get them under the LT either...still be 1 million short.
