If you've been on the Lane Bryant web site recently, you might have seen some of the beautiful photography. The colors have been so vibrant! And just look at that back drop! Imagine being on that photoshoot! I saw it and emailed them right away and wanted to know if I could get some images from that shoot. They did better than that, they sent me some images from their May magalog. It's a sneak peek! And I'm so in love. Not only with the photography, but some of their new pieces. I see a few things that I just might have to get! Take a look below!
Are you loving these images as much as I do?
What do you want?

Phillip, what do you mean when you say, "Finally a refreshing change of pace in the never-ending saga of Apple litigate?"
Would not surprise me
What else you expect from apple. But like other lawsuits they will win this too. Apple must be bribing good!
That would piss me right off iPhones are expensive enough not to have apple flog refurbed ones as new!!!
I expect products that work great with there other products and that serve their purpose well. That's why I buy them. I care less about their lawsuits. They have a lot of money on hand, lawsuits are expected.
Seriously people, you think that Apple, a 400 billion dollars company, would do this for a few buck profit? How stupid it is if Apple did that? Ask yourself would you do that if you were in Apple position? It's like a billionaire who still want to have a garage sale every weekend for a few dollars. Such a joke.
I think this is a case where the store employees were trying to make an extra dollar selling refurbs as new and pocketing the extra cash. While they still represent apple this isnt the image apple is known for. I think this is an isolated incident that will be handled quickly and quietly.
i bet all 6 of those plaintiffs have houses full of bootleg crap, thats what they get over there for accepting pirated and bootleg everything as ok

A small farming community in the Thumb of Michigan. Filled with loving, intelligent people. It is unique in that it is barely touched by time. Although many of the younger generations are forced to leave Deckerville to find gainful employment, they always consider it home. Deckerville made us who we are and we will always return. It is the type of place where everyone knows not only who you are, but who your parents and grandparents are. The people there are uninterested in growth. They have no desire to spread their borders. They only wish to live in peace on the land they were born to and will die on. In a world filled with violence, and stress, metal, concrete and noise and confusion...it is a safe place. Everyone should be so lucky to have a Deckerville to return home to.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/5/2013 (1573 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Arvid Loewen, a 56-year-old grandfather of six, is a devoted cyclist training for a challenge that will change lives.
In June, the North Kildonan man will tackle the Race Across America, a 5,000-kilometre cycling ultra-marathon that is 50 per cent longer than the Tour de France and requires competitors to finish faster than the better-known race. They start in Oceanside, Calif., and, if they finish, end in Annapolis, Md., no more than 12 days later.
When he's racing, Loewen will consume 8,000 calories a day. He will sleep for no more than 90 minutes every 24 hours. It would seem impossible but for one fact: This is the second time the Winnipegger has attempted this race. He finished first in his age category in 2008.
"It's the world's toughest bike race," says the impossibly fit Loewen. "Fifty per cent of the riders don't finish."
Halfway through the 2008 race, his neck muscles gave out from leaning over the bike. His kids were acting as his support crew.
"They went to a hardware store, purchased PVC tubing, a hacksaw and duct tape. They built a contraption for around my back and a duct-tape sling for my head. I rode five days like that."
The father of three wasn't always a serious cyclist. He describes himself as "a damaged soccer player" who began distance cycling in 2005. By 2011, he won the Guinness World Record for the fastest bicycle crossing of Canada. He rode the 6,040 kilometres in 13 days, six hours and 13 minutes.
But he says he's not racing for himself or the record books.
The deeply spiritual Loewen says he is taking a God-given ability and using it to raise funds for the Mully Children's Family Orphanage, a street-children's rescue mission in Kenya. Since 2006, he has raised $2.5 million for the NGO.
One morning in church, he heard about the Mully orphanage and decided he wanted to help. In 2005, he modified a tandem bike and cycled across Canada ferrying three teenagers from the orphanage. One rode on the back of the bike and the other two rode in the support vehicle. They spread word of the child-rescue charity everywhere they travelled.
In 2006, he and his wife travelled to Kenya to see the work of the rehabilitation centre first-hand. He chokes up as he shows a photo of a smiling 12-year-old girl. He has a picture of the same child as a 14-pound eight-year-old.
That year, he ended his 31-year career at Palliser Furniture. He'd started as a general labourer and ended in senior management. He and his wife, Ruth, raised their three children in a sprawling home with a backyard designed for play. He stepped away from the comfortable life.
The company gave him a one-year severance package, money he and Ruth managed to stretch for 29 months.
"We changed our living standards," he says. The house was already paid off. They sold their second car. They turned their basement into a rental suite. All three of their children were married and out of the house in 16 months.
"Our priorities changed. We've always lived within our means. Vacations were always in Grand Forks or Fargo."
Ruth got a part-time job at an assisted-living complex. They're using their RRSPs to support themselves modestly.
"We sat down with our kids and in-laws and said, 'If we do this, we'll be spending your inheritance.' They gave their blessing. We are going to do this until the money runs out."
They've had help. A couple of friends have given them money. Nothing they raise for the orphanage goes to their expenses or the costs of the cycling.
His eyes shine when he talks about Charles Mully and his 24-year mission to raise the world's largest family. Orphaned and abandoned children, from birth to teens, are rescued and raised in family-like dorm settings. They go to school. In fact, brags Loewen, the male and female high school graduates end up in the top 10 per cent of their classes.
The Winnipeg man pleads with me to make him sound humble, an easy enough task. He has raised a great deal of money for an African charity by accomplishing near-impossible physical feats.
"I don't believe that we should ever think we can do so little that we shouldn't try to do anything at all.
"I'd like to inspire all grandparents and other people to see every child as a gift from God. We love them just like our own children."

A model aircraft flying club has paid tribute to its "inspiring" leader who died recently.
Wharfedale Aeromodellers observed a two-minute silence at the start of its January meeting in memory of honorary president John Horton.
Mr Horton, 75, a Burley-in-Wharfedale resident, died over the Christmas period.
He was a founder member of the club in 1956 and served as its enthusiastic chairman for half a century before becoming honorary president.
A man of many talents, ranging from historic machinery to ornithology, he also served on Burley Community Council.
A spokesperson for Wharfedale Aeromodellers said: "As a practical aeromodeller, John was best known worldwide for his activity in team racing – which became a club specialism – and won a number of national awards in this field. However, he had a wide understanding of the hobby and encouraged all aspects."
Another of Mr Horton's services to the club was maintaining its archive.
In 2006 he was the principal organiser of a reunion held to celebrate the club's 50th anniversary. This was very well supported by present and former members, some living far away, and lots of happy memories were recalled. Many letters of thanks were received in subsequent weeks.
The club said Mr Horton was an inspiring leader and a very good man, who would be sorely missed.

I have recently purchased a 221/2 Platinum Kettle grill from Weber and I love it. I use it every night I am off work. The only problem I am having is getting a fire that Steven defines as "high." I use a generic chimney starter with Cowboy lump charcoal. I don't know if I am leaving the coals too long in the starter or too short a time or what!
I am also having a problem with the lit lump charcoal falling through the grate of my grill, in turn losing part of my heat. Any suggestions?
I did get a super hot fire by placing unlit Kingsford briquettes on the grate, but the heat was unpredictable and took about 30 minutes after pouring the lump into the grill to get truly hot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Earlier this week my wife returned from a visit to her parents with some things she purchased in Branson, Missouri.
I decided to try the grey sea salt and the ribeyes in the freezer were perfect candidates. I salted them on Tuesday, wrapped them tightly in plastic, and put them in the fridge until Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Chicken is a big fan of acorn squash so before getting the steaks ready I put one on the grill. The halves cooked cut side down over direct coals for about 20 minutes and then I flipped them over, moved them to the cool zone, and put a chunk of butter in each. I like to score the squash to help the butter penetrate a little bit.
Once the squash was going I took the steaks out of the fridge, and after 2 days the big crystals of sea salt had totally dissolved but there was surprisingly little liquid in the plastic.
I didn't do anything to the beef. No pepper, no garlic, no nothing, and I tested them with the poke method. It's been awhile since I've gotten steaks that look this good!
As happy as I was with the appearance of the steaks I was even happier with how they tasted. The salt got into the meat and really enhanced the flavor, and being ribeyes they were already pretty tender. I did treat myself to a few small pieces of crispy fat but since Mrs. Chicken was watching I pushed most of it off to the side.
A lot of acorn squash recipes call for brown sugar but I've found that with grilling the trick to getting the sweetness is to start by caramelizing the squash over direct heat before an indirect finish.

Barnet Copthall enjoyed immense success at the National Age Group (12 to 14 years) and Youth Championships (15 years and over), with the galas being held at the same venue.
Thirteen-year-old Byrne won gold in the 200m and 400m freestyle races as well as collecting a bronze in the 100m freestyle.
In the 200m butterfly, 13-year-old Felix Cheng won silver and 14-year-old Luca Sinnott a bronze, despite being the second fastest British swimmer in the field.

Head coach Rhys Gormley said: "The swimmers did an outstanding job at the most important competition of the year.
"Eight out of 10 swims were lifetime bests showing the swimmers stepped up to the plate and performed exceptionally well at the most pressurised swim meet in the calendar. I am proud of them all."

MEMBERS of Colwall Orchard Group celebrated the spring sunshine at the weekend by getting outdoors and planting trees.
The planting session was the culmination of three years of effort to establish the village's community orchard and also coincided with Climate Week.
The group has now planted 241 trees in the main orchard, plus 25 damsons in a new roadside hedge and 20 mirabelles in a new field hedge.
Tim Dixon of the group said: "The orchard trees include all sort of fruit: apples, pears, plums, greengages, quinces, medlars, a mulberry and a scattering of nut trees. The apples and pears are mostly local varieties already found in Colwall, including our very own Colwall varieties Captain Tom and Colwall Quoining apples and Stinking Bishop pears."
The group is inviting another round of tree dedications. You can dedicate a tree for £60 and choose whichever type or variety you like. Anyone interested can download a form from colwallorchardgroup.org or phone Helen Stace on 01684 540569.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on A9 TV dated September 16th, 2011
Ms.BETUL: "Yom Leyom" which is a religious newspaper of Israel - a newspaper of the Shas community- announced your representatives Mr. Cihat Gundogdu and Mr. Oktar Babuna's visit to the Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Shlomo Amar and the Minister of Internal Affairs Mr. Eli Yishai and the invite to Istanbul they have extended to them from the headline today. The headline in the news article is as follows; Sephardic Chief Rabbi Amar and Minister Yishai have been invited to Turkey. ADNAN OKTAR: Yes.. Yes, that is right; we are waiting for them as our guests, insha'Allah. Yes you go on please.. Ms.BETUL: Of course Master, insha'Allah. Israel National News, one of the renown nationalist news sites broadcasted another news item today stating that the Chief Rabbi of Israel had accepted your invitation to Turkey, Master. "During talks held at his office with Mr. Adnan Oktar's two emissaries, Dr. Oktar Babuna and Dr. Cihat Gundogdu Israeli Sephardic Chief Rabbi Shlomo Moshe Amar has accepted the invitation of Mr. Oktar who lives in Istanbul, with the hope of improving the diplomatic relations. In addition, the Chief Rabbi expressed interest in the Hebrew translation of Oktar's book The Evolution Deceit, and sent in return a gift of his own book, entitled Genesis, dealing with his views on fossils, "to emphasize the importance he gives to preaching Creation." The two envoys, who arrived in Jerusalem, met earlier in the week with Deputy Prime Minister Eli Yishai, chairman of the Sephardic religious Shas party. Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin, Likud faction head Ze'ev Elkin, member of Knesset Nissim Ze'ev and a number of other high-level officials also met with the two envoys, who are set to return to Istanbul at the end of the week. Oktar made it clear in his response to Arutz Sheva that he believes it is in Israel's best interest to issue an apology. "Apology is not something degrading, not a humiliation. It is a graceful attitude. We recommend the apology and compensation so as to calm the tension and at least balance matters. However Israel decides regarding the apology, we believe that the visit of the Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar and Interior Minister Eli Yishai to Istanbul, will help to reduce the tension. With this occasion we would like to express our compassion, love and respect for the Jewish people. And we would like to state our common beliefs and common goals. However, according to our belief, there is no other solution besides King Mashiach in this age. There will be discussions and meetings; however the outcome of the meetings will not resolve the matter entirely. The ultimate solution will be King Mashiach whom all parties will be pleased with his decisions" There are also some pictures about the news item Master, if you please. ADNAN OKTAR: Let me see Ms.BETUL: This is from the book on Creation he has sent you entitled "Genesis" insha'Allah. And this is the Hebrew translation of your book Master, "Evolution Deceit". ADNAN OKTAR: We will later on remember these as beautiful memories. Israel will openly want the Turkish-Islamic Union after a while, she will join the Turkish Islamic Union and there will be peace in the region. And those borders, fences, check points, they will all be removed. Israel and Palestine will embrace each other; they will live a magnificent, beautiful life, they will be happy insha'Allah. They will see the beautiful days of King Messiah, Mashiach, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).. They will see that the promise of Allah is true; they will see that the King Messiah which was foretold in the Torah three thousand years ago is true with all details, their faith will increase even more, their enthusiasm will increase even more. They will see what the Messenger of Allah (saas) foretold is completely true; their belief will be strengthened even further with that. Everyone will be happy. Satan is dragging them into a blind fight; the system of the Mahdi will raze this blind fight, this plot of the satan to the ground, you will see this insha'Allah. We are expecting the Chief Rabbi and the Israeli Minister of Internal Affairs; we would like them to honor us, to bring grace to us and to be our guests. We would like to welcome them. Insha'Allah they will see the beauties of Turkey, they can meet the people of Turkey. We believe that everything will come to the most beautiful state. Palestine is full of sweetest people, it is full of the sons of the Prophet Ishmael (pbuh). Israel is full of sweetest people as well; it is full of the sons of the Prophet Jacob (pbuh), full of the sons of the Prophet Israel (pbuh). We will embrace them all, welfare and beauty will come upon all of them, insha'Allah. Here you are now, we are listening to you. Ms.BETUL: Of course Master, Astagfirullah. Yesterday a news article has been published in one of the independent newspapers of Israel Kol Hayom, which means the Voices of the City. The headline of the news item is; "Spiritual leaders intervened in the crisis in the relations of Israel and Turkey." In the news item it is stated that you have sent a message to the spiritual leader of the Shas party, Former Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef through your representatives. "In the meeting held this week in his office the Chairman of the Shas Party and the Minister of Internal Affairs Eli Yishai has been invited to Turkey for an official visit by the Turkish religious scholar Mr. Adnan Oktar." In the inner pages of the article the visit Rabbis of Shas community have paid to Istanbul as your guests is also mentioned Master. I would like to show the pictures from the news item. ADNAN OKTAR: These will all be remembered as beautiful memories, insha'Allah. The system of the Mahdi is progressing step by step in front of the eyes of the whole world, in the sight of the whole world it is progressing openly and publicly with firm steps. We, as the students of the Mahdi, are taking firm steps ahead as well. We will put forth peace, brotherhood in front of the eyes of the whole world; we will annihilate fight, anarchy and terror. We will turn the world into Paradise, it will be like Paradise. No, we will not let the satan. We will break the legs and arms of the satan, we will crush it all over. There is no allowance for that. We will do so with science, with knowledge, with love. We will stroke the cheeks of those sweet little Israeli children, you know those sweet kids with curls; and also those Palestinians kids who run around, we will stroke their cheeks as well. We will implement peace, affection and brotherhood. There will be no such thing insha'Allah. We do not want fight, we do not want blood; we do not like bloodshed, we do not want even a single drop of bloodshed. Beauty, joy and happiness.. Allah says that "men are created weak". We cannot cope up with fight; we can cope up with joy, beauty, happiness and goodness. Satan will not have a bloody intervention neither to the children of the Prophet Ishmael (pbuh), nor to the children of Israel, to the children of the Prophet Jacob (pbuh), we will not let it intervene.

Evolution Hoax
"… Books arrived by courier yesterday at the Okregowego Museum in the Toruniu region. Eleven packages destined for 11 recipients were received at 11 o'clock. When the packages were opened the impressive albums inside were seen to belong to the Turkish writer Adnan Oktar… Similar packages have also caused great excitement at the Warsaw headquarters of MTV in Poland. Two out of six packages had been sent from Düsseldorf in Germany. The name Harun Yahya was in the center of the book cover. The albums received at the Toruniu Museum belonged to the same author, who used the names of two prophets who had fought against irreligion…2007-09-22 23:23:28

DALLAS & FORT WORTH, Texas--April 10, 2013: TTI, Inc. and Mouser Electronics, Inc., two top global distributors for electronic components and a part of the Berkshire Hathaway companies, today announce a scholarship in partnership with the University of Texas at Arlington College of Engineering. The scholarship will help support students enrolled in the university's Arnold E. Petsche Center for Automotive Engineering who demonstrate academic achievement beyond the classroom.
"From providing electronic parts for our projects to mutual marketing efforts (we built a demonstrator for their CES trade show), and employment opportunities for our students, we hope this relationship will continue to grow and be mutually beneficial."
This scholarship sponsorship supports both TTI's and Mouser's long-standing mission of supporting the need for more young people to pursue careers in science and engineering. It further demonstrates the two company's "pay-it-forward" philosophy by celebrating the accomplishments of a future generation of design engineers.
UT Arlington's Arnold E. Petsche Center for Automotive Engineering promotes engineering education, innovation and entrepreneurship, especially through its student participation in the Formula SAE® (Society of Automotive Engineers) program, headed by Dr. Bob Woods. Through the design, manufacture, and testing of real Formula SAE cars, it teaches students to apply what they learn in the classroom into real-world engineering know-how.
Since 1982, mechanical engineering professor Dr. Woods has led the UT Arlington students in Formula SAE competitions against other universities worldwide. The team's track record is unmatched -- eight victories in the U.S. with more in the U.K., Australia, and Japan. Recently, the team built a hybrid car that competed in the Formula Hybrid contest at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Future plans for this Formula SAE team include building a fully electric car in 2014.
"We're pleased to sponsor a scholarship that will honor these outstanding students who have not only excelled in the classroom, but also have demonstrated a keen interest in engineering, research and innovation gained through the UT Arlington formula racing program. This scholarship is an investment in smart, capable students who will go on to build successful engineering careers," stated Glenn Smith, President and CEO of Mouser Electronics.
"TTI and Mouser are proud to have our names associated with the new Arnold E. Petsche Center for Automotive Engineering program at UT Arlington and this group of remarkably sharp and ambitious young people," said Mike Morton, President, TTI Americas.
"This scholarship further emphasizes the close partnership between the university, TTI and Mouser," shared Dr. Woods. "From providing electronic parts for our projects to mutual marketing efforts (we built a demonstrator for their CES trade show), and employment opportunities for our students, we hope this relationship will continue to grow and be mutually beneficial."

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I missed the fact that these were stickers, so I put them on heavy black cardstock and cut them into square tags. Then I put a hole in one corner and tied them to clear cookie bags with a nice ribbon. The tags really dressed up the bags. You could easily fold a bag over and close it with this sticker though. It's got good adhesion. The printing was clean and crisp. I really love the design!"
"Super easy to personalize, I picked a certain pink and it was spot on what I wanted, the paper quality is very very good nice thick paper. Super girly and so perfect for my bridal shower!"
"Was able to make all the requested changes and they shipped ahead of time. They are a little flimsy but they serve its purpose."
"These cards came out beautiful. The paper is high quality and the printing is perfect. I'm very happy with how they came out."
"I wish it had gold touches like the invitations, recipe cards. Still its beautiful but now I need to add some gold to make it match the other items purchased."

(Release: September 17, 2012) - Hagerstown Community College has been awarded a three-year, $651,249 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to create an on-campus microscopy training hub (MTH) and a mobile MTH to further develop its biotechnology program.
The grant will be used to purchase equipment and enhance biotechnology curricula used by HCC and its K-12 school partners at all levels of the College and Career Transitions Initiative pathway, created through HCC's previously awarded NSF grant, which ended in June.
"In our previous Pathways to Biotechnology grant, we went into the science classrooms and talked to students who were already committed to choosing STEM education. With this grant, we are going to go into K-12 and college classrooms with cutting edge microscopy equipment in an attempt to engage students who otherwise might not realize how much potential they have for STEM careers," said Judith Peisen, chair of HCC's mathematics and science division.
"Washington County Public Schools welcomes this additional grant partnership with Hagerstown Community College. These resources will provide additional teacher professional development and will extend exploration and skill building for our students leading to greater college and career readiness," said Sandra Graff, K-12 supervisor of science for Washington County Public Schools.
The central theme of the MTH is to engage students and their teachers with increasingly sophisticated microscopy skills and expand their career options in biotechnology as they build their skills and experience. Middle school students will be included with a summer Young Engineers and Science (YES) program, sponsored by a Fort Detrick, Md., outreach program, and elementary school students through HCC's College for Kids program.
"We are very excited about the opportunities this new grant will open to the tri-state area. We look forward to using the equipment purchased through NSF to provide STEM outreach out to a greater portion of our community," said Alicia Manfre, coordinator of HCC's biotechnology program.
This is HCC's second biotechnology grant from the NSF. The first one was a three-year, $672,696 grant, awarded in 2009, that was used to develop the biotechnology educational pathway in Washington County, from high school through to employment.
HCC began its biotechnology program in 2007 and offers certificate and degree options for students who plan to enter the biotechnology industry immediately or continue their studies at four-year institutions. InnovaBio-MD is a unique program offered through HCC's biotechnology program that gives students the opportunity to conduct actual research as training for entry-level positions in the biotechnology industry. The wet labs area of HCC's Technical Innovation Center provides rental space for start-up bioscience firms.

A untamed creature who runs wild around a variety of dublin hotspots, looking for teenage girls to eat. the wild beef is a specimen is recognisable by his flaming red maine and his out of control sweat glands. When hunting wild beef it is necessary to travel in packs and more importantly with arms. The most common way of taming a beef is by perfoming a beef rodeo. Whipping is also an effective method. If you see a wild beef it is vital to note that he is extremely dangerous and may attempt to come on to you by using the infamous slurred phrase:"hey...u dont sssspeaak enggglish"
beef hunter:"there's a wild beef on the loose..EVERYBODY RUN"

Pam Ruegg, veterinarian and milk-quality expert at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has outlined 10 things that dairy farms can do to achieve milking excellence.
According to Ruegg, smart farms:
1. Set performance goals. "There is an old saying that you can't get to your destination unless you know where you are going," she says. (For more details on this and the other goals listed, go to the web site: http://tinyurl.com/ oyu4kyw.)
2. Rapidly identify problems. "Farms that consistently produce high-quality milk have methods to monitor herd performance," she says.
3. Milk clean cows. "Many progressive dairy farms have controlled contagious mastitis," she says. The farms also work on minimizing environmental pathogens such as E. coli and the environmental streptococci.
4. Standardize their milking routines. "Achieving a consistent milking routine is the key to quality milk," she says.
5. Train their staff.
6. Maintain and update their milking systems. "A properly functioning milking system is essential for the production of high-quality milk," she says.
7. Have treatment protocols. "Treatment protocols are used to define standard treatments for common diseases on dairy farms," Ruegg says.
8. Have mastitis biosecurity plans. "Mastitis biosecurity refers to keeping cattle safe from contagious mastitis pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Steptococcus agalactia and Mycoplasma bovis," she says.
9. Take care of their dry cows. "The dry period is a critical time for the development of mastitis," she says, so preventative measures are important.
10. Use appropriate consultants. "The use of consultants can help farmers sort through complex issues and make informed decisions," Ruegg says.

Because everyone has unique expressions, we move our facial muscles in a repetitive way. Over time, those repetitive movements -- furrowing the brow, frowning, smiling -- cause wrinkles and fine lines -- especially around the eyes and mouth in the form of crow's feet and frown lines.
No one likes the fact that those lines make them look and feel older than they really are. Botox treatments can help men and women rejuvenate and revitalize their appearance, which is why the injections have become increasingly popular over the last few years
BOTOX is the trade name for botulinum toxin A, which was first approved for use as a treatment by the FDA in 1990 specifically for eye muscle spasms. The cosmetic value, however, became readily apparent.
Small does of Botox injected in designated areas block the nerve muscles responsible for repetitive actions, and thus improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox literally paralyzes the area.
The positive results of the injection can last for up to eight months, although 4-6 months is more common. Added benefits of Botox injections may also include the:
Anyone in generally good health who has fairly shallow fine lines and wrinkles is a good candidate for Botox treatments.
Botox is a very diluted form of the botulinum toxin type A. This is the same nerve toxin that causes the paralyzing effects of botulism.
Cosmetic Botox treatments however only contain a miniscule amount of the toxin and pose very little threat to the average person seeking treatment for their skin.
Just think back to all of those precautions you took over the years to stop the imminent signs of aging. Remember all of the sun block, all of the moisturizing creams and those silly facial exercises.
That was a lot of work considering you were trying to ward off something that was both inevitable and would only manifest itself in the future. But is it really inevitable? It doesn't seem that way now.
Botox injections are sweeping the nation and it's sweeping those dirty little signs of aging under the carpet. This is the future of cosmetic surgery and if it works as well as people say, the future is looking easier and easier to postpone.
Last year 12.2 million men and women (cosmetic minimally-invasive procedures performed in the US during 2011 by Board Certified surgeons), including presidential candidate John Kerry, have decided that they wont be a victim of the prejudice that comes along with the signs of aging. Another 1.6 million cosmetic surgical procedures
was performed. That adds up to 13.8 million cosmetic procedures performed in the US during 2011.
Botox has proven itself to be the best way to make you look younger and look natural, unlike complicated, expensive and permanent plastic surgery. This is important, especially in today's high-octane business world, where the face you put forward says as much about you as what's coming out of your mouth.
They have taken their destiny and put it in the hands of their doctor who, in a matter of minutes can make all those years of creams and lotions and potions irrelevant.
Initially there were some concerns that injecting a neurotoxin into your skin, just several inches from your brain was a bad idea, but after millions of successful procedures it is clear that there is little to no risk, as so far, there has not been one reported case of any kind of permanent damage associated with Botox cosmetic injections.
It is sad but it's true, wisdom is no longer a virtue and youth and new ideas are what make American business grow at the rate that has but the United States at the top of the world economy and has created the wealthiest nation the earth has ever seen.
Botox is injected into the muscles in the neck, forehead and around the eyes that cause wrinkles when you frown, squint, laugh or smile.
The injections block the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles, so the muscles relax and the skin looks smoother. The shots cause very little discomfort, but your doctor may numb the area with ice or an anesthetic cream before giving you the shots. The treatment takes about 10 minutes. You should not lie down or bend over for 6 hours after an injection to keep the toxin from spreading to other muscles.
It takes about four days for Botox to start to relax the muscles. The results last up to 4 months. To maintain the effects, you will need to repeat treatments every 3 to 6 months.
Basically fewer wrinkles will show up on the areas of the face that were treated with Botox injections.
This means fewer crow's feet, fewer laughlines and fewer frown lines on the forehead. These effects will last as long as the Botox is in your system, which is usually about 3 to 6 months.
Before receiving Botox injections, be sure to tell your health care provider if you have ever had heart disease or a nerve or muscle disorder such as ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) or myasthenia gravis. Botox may make these conditions worse.
To consult with a certified Botox professional , fill in the form on the right-hand side of the page and a we will get back to you within short. You will then be given the option to schedule a free consultation or book an appointment with a certified professional.
Aside from the cautions below, millions of men and women receive Botox treatments each year. The injections are the most popular procedure among both men and women and when performed by a qualified and experienced professional, Botox injections are considered to be a very safe procedure.
Botox injections should not, however, be given to;
While Botox cosmetic creams are less expensive and arguable less invasive than Botox injections, the results are not immediate and user reviews are uneven. Many of these products make huge claims and simply do not deliver. Trying one cream after another is a hit or miss exercise that can, in itself, become very expensive.
Revitalizing your looks and restoring your natural beauty doesn't have to be painful or expensive. If you want reasonably "permanent" results and a high level of satisfaction, Botox injections are the way to go. So if you want to look younger and you want to be considered a young dynamo with fresh ideas. Or you just want to look young at your daughters wedding (after all those photos last forever) then Botox injections is a great option for you.

A while back, my dad gave me a compliment on one of my newspaper columns. He looked me square in the eye and asked with a bewildered look on his face, "How can you write so much and never really say anything?" Well, I took it as a compliment anyway.
When most of you will be reading this, my dad will be celebrating his 80th birthday. During those eight decades of down-home farm living, he has become a fountain of knowledge for my siblings and myself. There are a few basic rules and words of advice that Dad has handed down throughout the years. Some vocally, others by example. Most I have taken to heart; the others we won't talk about at this particular time. (There might be statute of limitation laws in affect.)
Here are a few that have helped me get through life, and maybe they can help you too.
First of all, Mom is always right. Even when she isn't. This basic, fundamental law of nature actually applies to just about each and every female I am related to. (Except for my sister. She's just a dumb girl.) From my grandmother, to my mom and my aunts, my wife and my daughter, they have always been right, and me — not so much. Dad always implied the quicker I got that through my head, the smoother the road of life will become. Boy was he right.
Secondly, keep the needle on the gas gauge above "E." He always told me that it costs the same to put a few gallons in a few times a week as it does to put a whole bunch of gallons in at one time. I wish that I could get my wife to follow that rule. However, since she's a female that I'm related to, that's not my sister, I'm not gonna say a word.
Thirdly, don't ever give up on the Chicago Cubs. He has been a lifelong fan, and because of that, I too have been cursed. We believe the laws of statistics and probability indicate the Chicago Cubs will eventually win a World Series. Today he is 80 years old. In those approximate 29,200 days, they have not won a World Series. For 25 years, or approximately another 9,125 days before he was even born, the Cubs didn't win a World Series. My dad and I put a lot of faith into the laws of statistics and probability.
Fourthly, Dad always told me that you can plant more corn in crooked rows than you can in straight rows. Many will say that this is just an excuse to have your crops planted in an unsightly fashion, but mathematically, I'm pretty sure he's right.
Fifthly, Dad would always tell me to be careful. Whenever I would go out to have a good time with my friends, who are just as idiotic as I am, he would always say, "Just be careful." And then when he thought Mom wasn't listening, he would wink and add, "But if you can't be careful, at least have fun." Those words have stuck with me throughout the years, many times in situations involving writing this silly column, illegal fireworks and/or lawn jarts.
Sixthly, if you're outside working, and you have absolutely no other options at your disposal, always, and I mean always, pee downwind. When you gotta go, you gotta go.
Seventhly, and possibly the greatest tidbit of information that Dad passed down to me, that any father can pass along to his son is this: Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey. I repeat this mantra literally every time I pick up a screwdriver or wrench. Literally every time. Literally every … single … time.
So as my dad rolls the odometer over to 80, I now have some words of advice for him: Have a happy birthday ... and be careful.
But if you can't do that, have a good time.
Unless, of course, Mom says something different.

text: Taking some time out to enjoy nature By John McCoy August 10, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- One of the perks of my job is getting to watch wildlife.Earlier this week, I arrived early at a New River boat launch site for a meeting with a couple of fish biologists. I had half an hour to kill, so I sat on a rock and scanned the river for signs of life.The first thing that showed up was a young coot - no, not a teenager imitating an elderly man, but a real, live, honest-to-goodness juvenile American coot of the bird variety. It flew across the river toward me and landed on a gravel bar a short distance away.It lingered there only for a few moments before it lit out for the river's far shore. If you've never seen a coot take off, it's sort of comical. They flap their wings furiously and, in an attempt to gather momentum, they run across the water until they finally become airborne.Not long after the coot disappeared, a blue heron came flying along, looking every bit like a pterodactyl of the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods must have looked.Its neck formed an S-shape, and its head sat atop the middle of the S. Its long, slender wings flapped slowly, gracefully, and with so little effort that the heron appeared almost to glide along.It landed on the downstream edge of a promontory a couple hundred yards upriver, and, after a brief rest, continued its journey to the opposite shore.About the time it departed, the surface of a nearby cove erupted with spray. A school of small fish came shooting out of the water, closely followed by a rather large fish apparently intent on eating them.I caught only a glimpse of the would-be predator, but judging from its length and general shape, I suspect it was a muskie. The disturbance got me watching the nearby shallows for further fish activity and sure enough, through polarized sunglasses, I was able to watch a nice-sized smallmouth bass prowl the nooks and crannies of a weed bed for potential prey.A flurry of movement far upstream caught my eye. The river's surface appeared to shimmer, and with my poor eyesight I couldn't really tell what was going on - at least not until the large flock of Canada geese lifted off, turned downriver, settled into their trademark chevron-shaped flight formations, and came zooming toward me.The gaggle flashed past, 30 yards offshore and 20 feet up, their ha-ronk, ha-ronk cries piercing the morning stillness. They skimmed over some rapids just downstream and disappeared around a bend.Some ripples in the water caught my eye. Just offshore from the gravel bar, a triangular head poked through the surface.I thought for a moment that I might get to see a snake swim ashore, but the head submerged and the ripples died away. Two or three minutes later, the head reappeared a little farther upstream, but disappeared just as quickly.Only on its third appearance did I realize I'd been watching a turtle. It stayed about 15 feet offshore, popping to the surface every couple of minutes to breathe. A truck pulling a boat came along and broke my wildlife-watching reverie. The driver was a fisherman, and after he backed his boat into the water the local critters laid low.The experience, though, made me realize just how fortunate I am to have a job that allows me, from time to time, to sit on a hilltop or a riverbank and just - watch.Here in West Virginia, nature is seldom more than a few steps away. The secret to seeing it is to stop walking and sit a spell.

The Best Ways to Drink Outside
Although I've never worked in a Taco Bell, I do own a vintage 1984 San Diego Padres hat. Which is pretty much one and the same, save for the fact that — generally speaking — I don't smell like a chalupa. I digress. The '84 Padres boast the greatest hat of all time, and not merely because it was extraordinarily ugly; the unique-and-unfathomable marriage of awful colors and unimaginative design. No, what made the cap so memorable is that, with the single motion of placing it atop a head, even the greatest of ballplayers turned into fast-food distributors. I'm not joking here. Tony Gwynn, for example, is a lifetime .338 hitter who was enshrined in Cooperstown on the first ballot. He is a wonderful man, a blessed ballplayer, and an all-time San Diego legend. Yet, in that particular cap, he looks like Bob, the guy asking whether you'll have Pepsi or Sprite with that burrito.
—Jeff Pearlman, Columnist, SportsIllustrated.com
It's the fiftieth anniversary of the Mets this year, so they're wearing throwback
uniforms, down to the jackets and caps. Except one big difference:
Their cap has a little orange dot up top. This is not the original
Mets cap. The original Mets cap is the most beautiful hybrid of the worst color scheme imaginable: the New York Giants orange NY-insignia with the Brooklyn Dodgers blue. On one level, it's a terrible, disgusting
cap — the colors clash horribly. It isn't the Yankees navy-blue and
white; the Phillies red-and-white; the Cubs red, white, and blue. It's
cigarette-ash orange and royal blue. It isn't classic in any way. And
yet, fifty years later, after several generations behind them (and
several color schemes — black caps, I'm looking at you), the Mets have made it their own. Take a stroll in Brooklyn and any guy worth
his salt wears the correct Mets cap. It's a status symbol. You have
fashion sense, you exude New York bona fides, and, most importantly,
you are asserting yourself as a 99-percenter. You are not a Yankees
fan. You know how to wear a cap with integrity.

North Korea's prison camps are a closed-off world of death, torture and forced labour where babies are born slaves, according to two survivors who liken the horrors of the camps to a Holocaust in progress.
"People think the Holocaust is in the past, but it is still very much a reality. It is still going on in North Korea," Shin Dong-Hyuk said through an interpreter on the sidelines of a human rights summit in Geneva.
Shin himself spent his first 23 years in a prison camp in the secretive country, where he says he was tortured and subjected to forced labour before making a spectacular escape seven years ago - and giving the outside world a rare first-hand account of life inside the camps.
The 30-year-old is the only person known to have been born in such a camp to flee and live to tell the tale.
While Shin's comparison with Nazi concentration camps may seem extreme, another North Korean prison camp survivor, Kang Chol-Hwan, agreed with the analogy.
"Fundamentally, it is the same as Hitler's Auschwitz," Kang said, also through an interpreter, referring to one of the Nazi era's most notorious death camps.
Kang, now 43, was imprisoned with his whole family when he was nine years old to repent for the suspected disloyalties of his grandfather.
He spent 10 years there before his family was released and later managed to flee to China and on to South Korea - the same route taken by Shin.
Both men say the international community must do more to help North Koreans, with Kang insisting the world should take advantage of growing feelings of opposition within the communist state.
He suggested that Pyongyang's recent nuclear test was meant not only as a message of strength to the outside world but also to potential opponents to the regime within the country.
"It is the international community's duty to help them light the fire of resistance," he said.
Shin, who says that at the age of 13 was forced to watch the executions of his mother and brother, also said up to three generations of family members of an accused are also punished.
The birth of a baby is a blessed thing in the outside world, but inside the camp, babies are born to be slaves like their parents. It's an absolute scandal
"The birth of a baby is a blessed thing in the outside world, but inside the camp, babies are born to be slaves like their parents. It's an absolute scandal," Shin said.
Both Shin and Kang described life in the camp as defined by hunger and violence.
"Daily I saw torture, and every day in the camp I saw people dying of malnutrition and starvation. I saw lots of friends die and I almost died myself of malnutrition," Kang recalled.
Overstepping prison rules was enough to get you killed, including not informing the guards of other prisoners' misdeeds.
Shin admits he didn't hesitate to inform a guard of his mother and brother's escape plan, and that he felt no remorse when he was forced to watch their executions.
Shin had never felt close to them or anyone else in the camp, seeing others as competitors for the tiny rations of mainly cabbage-based gruel he survived on.
That has changed since he got out, he told AFP. "Now I feel they were dear to me, but I'm still learning to feel."

Hope that US politicians would find common ground to steer clear of the "fiscal cliff" boosted stocks on Friday, though the gains were not enough to offset the week's losses, while escalating tensions in the Middle East boosted oil prices.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 45.93 points, or 0.4 per cent, to 12,588.31. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 6.55 points, or 0.5 per cent, to 1359.88. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 16.19 points, or 0.6 per cent, to 2853.13.
The late rise on Wall Street lifted SPI futures 12 points to 4360, pointing to small gains at the start of local sharemarket trade on Monday. The dollar inched up to $US1.0340 in overseas trade.
But shares on major markets still posted a second consecutive weekly loss as the collective worry about the US government's fiscal problems and weak global economic growth weighed on sentiment.
For the week, the S&P was down 1.5 per cent, its second week in a row of losses. The Dow lost 1.8 per cent, down for the fourth straight week, while the Nasdaq was lower for the sixth week, also losing 1.8 per cent.
Lawmakers sought to establish a conciliatory tone in their first round of talks on the so-called "fiscal cliff" after Pesident Barack Obama was re-elected to a second four-year term.
Senate and House leaders from both parties all described the initial discussions as "constructive."
"This is the first time we've had one iota of anything constructive being done," said Todd Schoenberger, managing principal at the BlackBay Group in New York.
"That's very positive, but you can be flexible and still have us go over the cliff. Wall Street traders remain very nervous and need something concrete to get done," he said.
Investors have been concerned that if no deal were reached to modify automatic spending cuts and tax hikes, the US economy could slip into recession. The S&P 500 has dropped 4.3 per cent over the past two weeks, in part due to these worries.
The MSCI world equity index was down 0.3 per cent at 316.58, and has lost almost 2 per cent this week.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top companies shed 1.04 per cent to 1067.45 and posted its worst week since late September.
Benchmark Brent crude oil prices rose above $USS109 a barrel as a showdown between Israel and the Palestinians in Gaza stoked worries about supply. Investors were concerned that Arab producers may be drawn into any potential conflict, which could impact supply lines.
Adding to worries, a fire broke out at an oil and natural gas platform in the Gulf of Mexico, the US Coast Guard said. The Coast Guard told local media that the platform was not actively producing.
Brent crude rose 93 cents to $US108.94 a barrel. US oil gained 60 cents to settle at $US86.67.
The yen fell for a third day against the US dollar and was on track for its worst weekly loss since mid-February as expectations of aggressive monetary easing from the Bank of Japan continued to curb the currency's appeal
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda paved the way for a snap election on December 16. The lower house of parliament was dissolved on Friday.
Shinzo Abe, leader of the main opposition Liberal Democratic Party and seen as likely to be Japan's next leader, on Thursday called for the country's central bank to adopt interest rates of zero or below to spur lending.
"The basic driver is still the interest rate differential between the dollar and yen, which is very narrow, and we have to wait for what happens after the (Japanese) elections," said Marcus Hettinger, global FX strategist at Credit Suisse in Zurich.

Topic: Possible new section
I don't know how populated this will be at first, but I know that I'm getting genomic sequencing done. Just sent the request out in the mail today! I'm positive it will help in the fight against this monster. Hopefully sooner rather than later. I figure more and more of us will have this done, and I think it might be nice to have one place to look.
Anyway, I am having both pre- and post- chemo pathology examined, and I hope it shows how the mutations responded to the chemo cocktails I was on. Along with the mutation that is currently being treated by this inhibitor drug.
This is so exciting! I never would have guessed at the advancement in this fight when I started on my journey three years ago! Imagine... A blood test will now make cancer screening affordable!! A urine test will shortly be available for some cancers!! It's amazing!
And to think, three years ago this month I was given a "death sentence". And told there was a good chance I would be dead within two years. Well, I showed them! And hopefully with the genomic testing many many many more of us will be able to say that!

XPCNativeWrapper is a way to wrap up an object so that it's safe to access from privileged code. It can be used in all Firefox versions, though the behavior changed somewhat starting with Firefox 1.5 (Gecko 1.8). See the entry for
XPCNativeWrapper at the MozillaZine KnowledgeBase for the behavior of
XPCNativeWrapper in Firefox versions prior to 1.5. This document addresses
XPCNativeWrapper in Firefox 1.5 and later.
XPCNativeWrapper does
XPCNativeWrapper limits access to the properties and methods of the object it wraps. The only properties and methods accessible through an
XPCNativeWrapper are those that are defined in IDL or defined by DOM Level 0 (though some DOM Level 0 properties and methods do not work on an
XPCNativeWrapper). In particular, properties added to an object via JavaScript are not exposed by an
XPCNativeWrapper for this object, and nor are getters and setters defined with
__defineGetter__ and
__defineSetter__. The intent is to allow safe access to the IDL-defined methods of the object.
Please make sure to read the known bugs section, especially when writing code targeted at a range of 1.5.0.x Firefox releases.
Types of
There are three different types of
XPCNativeWrapper in Firefox 1.5. All three types wrap a possibly-unsafe object and provide safe access to its properties and methods.
The differences in behavior between the three types of
XPCNativeWrapper are determined by two characteristics an
XPCNativeWrapper wrapper can have. An
XPCNativeWrapper can be explicit (or the opposite, implicit) and can be deep (or the opposite, shallow). The type of wrapper created is determined by the way it was created as follows:
|Created by
|Protected script accessing an untrusted object
|Constructor called with string arguments
|Constructor called with no string arguments
Explicit vs. Implicit
The difference in behavior between explicit and implicit
XPCNativeWrapper is that a property access on an implicit
XPCNativeWrapper from script that is not protected is NOT safe. The property access will be forwarded through to the
wrappedJSObject of the
This means that scripts that are not protected don't need to worry about bugs arising because other code hands them an implicit
XPCNativeWrapper. On the other hand, such scripts do need to watch out for unsafe object access.
Property access on an explicit
XPCNativeWrapper is safe no matter whether the caller is protected.
Deep vs. Shallow
The difference in behavior between deep and shallow
XPCNativeWrapper is that when a property is accessed or a function is called on a deep wrapper the return value will be wrapped in a
XPCNativeWrapper of its own. The new
XPCNativeWrapper will also be deep and it will be explicit if and only if the
XPCNativeWrapper whose property is accessed was explicit. By contrast, when a property is accessed or a function is called on a shallow wrapper, the return value may be an unsafe object.
For example, say we are given three instances of
XPCNativeWrapper for the same window object. Let us call them
deepImplicitWindow and
shallowWindow. Then we have:
var doc1 = deepExplicitWindow.document;
// doc1 is now a deep explicit
XPCNativeWrapper for
// the document object. Accessing doc1.open(), say, is safe.
var doc2 = deepImplicitWindow.document;
// If the caller has xpcnativewrappers=yes set, doc2 is now a deep
// implicit
XPCNativeWrapper for the document object.
// Otherwise doc2 is now the unsafe document object, since the
// property access was simply passed along to the unsafe window object.
var doc3 = shallowWindow.document; // doc3 is now the unsafe document object.
XPCNativeWrapper objects
There are three different ways of creating an
XPCNativeWrapper object; one way for each of the three types.
Protected script accessing an untrusted object
Any time a protected script accesses an untrusted object it will get back an implicit deep
XPCNativeWrapper. Accessing properties of this
XPCNativeWrapper is safe from protected scripts.
A wrapper created in this way will stick around as long as the object being wrapped does and accessing an object twice in a row will give the same
What is a protected script?
In Firefox versions 1.5 through 18.104.22.168, a script is protected or not protected based solely on its URI. A script is protected only if its URI starts with a known protected prefix; scripts not loaded by URI (e.g. JavaScript-implemented components) are not protected. The protected prefixes in Firefox 1.5 are determined by the Chrome Registry.
By default, all content packages are protected. This means that all URIs that start "<tt>chrome://<package name>/content/</tt>" (for any package) are protected. Individual packages can override this using a flag in their chrome manifest file.
Starting with Firefox 126.96.36.199, JavaScript-implemented components are protected scripts. So a script is protected if it's either loaded from a URI which starts with a protected prefix or is a JavaScript-implemented component.
What is an untrusted object?
All objects are either trusted or untrusted. An object is trusted if any of the following hold:
- Its parent (
__parent__property in JavaScript) is a trusted object.
- It is the root scope object for a JavaScript component.
- It is the window object for a trusted window.
Since all DOM objects in a window have the window on their
__parent__ chain, they will be trusted if and only if their window is trusted.
What is a trusted window?
Whether a window is trusted depends on its container. A window is trusted if any of the following holds:
- It is a top-level window (e.g.
<xul:dialog>, or some URI passed to the <tt>-chrome</tt> command-line flag).
- Its parent is trusted, and one of the following three options holds:
- It is not loaded in a
- The
<xul:browser>loading it doesn't have a "type" attribute.
- The value of the "type" attribute of the
<xul:browser>loading it is not "content" and does not start with "content-".
- It is not loaded in a
Note that whether a window is trusted does not depend on the URI loaded in the window. So for example, the following would create trusted windows when used inside a document whose window is already trusted:
<xul:browser type="chrome">
<xul:browser type="rabid_dog">
<xul:iframe type="foofy">
<html:iframe type="content">
The following would not create trusted windows:
<xul:browser type="content">
<xul:iframe type="content-primary">
Further note that any child window of an untrusted window is automatically untrusted.
What happens when a script accesses an object?
The table below describes what happens when a script accesses an object, and how the wrapper is involved.
|No wrapper is created and therefore the script gets full access to the object.
| An implicit deep
XPCNativeWrapper is created.
|No wrapper is created, just as in the protected/trusted case.
|No wrapper is created, just as in the protected/trusted case.
Using the
XPCNativeWrapper constructor
XPCNativeWrappers are created automatically. You don't need to use the
XPCNativeWrapper constructor, unless you intend your code to work in older versions of the browser or you disabled
XPCNativeWrapper constructor call with string arguments
For example:
var contentWinWrapper = new XPCNativeWrapper(content, "document");
This creates an explicit shallow
XPCNativeWrapper. This syntax has been kept for compatibility with versions prior to Firefox 1.5. While all properties of the
contentWinWrapper object can now be safely accessed, the return values of these properties are NOT safe to access (just like in versions prior to Firefox 1.5), since the
XPCNativeWrapper is shallow. So to compare the content document title to the current content selection, one must do:
var winWrapper = new XPCNativeWrapper(content, "document", "getSelection()"); var docWrapper = new XPCNativeWrapper(winWrapper.document, "title"); return docWrapper.title == winWrapper.getSelection();
just like in versions before Firefox 1.5. Note that the
"getSelection()" argument is not strictly needed here; if the code is not intended for use with Firefox versions before 1.5 it can be removed. A single string argument after the object being wrapped is all that is required for Firefox 1.5 to create this type of
XPCNativeWrapper constructor call with no string arguments
For example:
var contentWinWrapper = new XPCNativeWrapper(content);
This creates an explicit deep
XPCNativeWrapper. Accessing properties of this
XPCNativeWrapper is safe, and the return values will also be wrapped in explicit deep
XPCNativeWrapper objects.
XPCNativeWrapper lifetime
XPCNativeWrapper objects exist while they are referenced. Creating a new explicit
XPCNativeWrapper for the same possibly-unsafe object will create a new wrapper object; something to watch out for when setting "expando" properties
XPCNativeWrapper objects have the same lifetime as the object they're wrapping.
Setting "expando" properties on
It is possible to set "expando" properties (properties with names that don't correspond to IDL-defined properties) on
XPCNativeWrapper objects. If this is done, then chrome will be able to see these expando properties, but content will not be able to. There is no safe way to set an expando property from chrome and have it be readable from content.
Accessing unsafe properties
If unsafe access to a property is required for some reason, this can be accomplished via the
wrappedJSObject property of the wrapper. For example, if
docWrapper is a wrapper for
doc, then
is the same as
As the name of this section implies, doing so is unsafe. You shouldn't use
wrappedJSObject to bypass XPCNativeWrapper in production code.
In Firefox 3
wrappedJSObject returns yet another wrapper around the content JS object (XPCSafeJSObjectWrapper), which allows safely inspect the content object. See XPConnect_wrappers#XPCSafeJSObjectWrapper.
See Interaction between privileged and non-privileged pages for the better alternatives.
Known bugs
There are two known bugs in
XPCNativeWrapper in the 1.5.0.x versions:
- Firefox versions 1.5 through 184.108.40.206 have bug 337095, which causes wrappers to not be created for protected scripts in some cases. Specifically, if a protected script makes a property access or function call that returns an untrusted object, a wrapper will be created. However, if a function in a protected script is called from C++ and an untrusted object is passed as an argument to this function, a wrapper will not be created. Functions that expect to be called in this way need to do their own wrapping. This bug is fixed in Firefox 188.8.131.52 and later.
- Firefox versions 1.5 through 220.127.116.11 have bug 345991, which causes components written in JavaScript to not be protected scripts. This bug is fixed in Firefox 22.214.171.124 and later.
Limitations of
There are some commonly used properties and coding styles that cannot be used with
XPCNativeWrapper. Specifically:
- Assigning to or reading an
on*property on an
XPCNativeWrapperof a DOM node or Window object will throw an exception. (Use addEventListener instead, and use "event.preventDefault();" in your handler if you used "return false;" before.)
- Access to frames by window name (e.g.
window.frameName) does not work on an
document.alldoes not work on an
XPCNativeWrapperfor a document.
- Access to named items by name does not work on an
XPCNativeWrapperfor an HTML document. For example, if you have a
<form name="foo">and
docWrapperis a wrapper for the HTML document
doc.foois an
undefined. Code that wishes to do this could use
- Access to nodes by id doesn't work on an
XPCNativeWrapperfor an HTML document.
getElementByIdshould be used instead.
- Access to inputs by name doesn't work on an
XPCNativeWrapperfor an HTML form. Code that wishes to do this should use
- Access to elements by name doesn't work on an
XPCNativeWrapperfor an
HTMLCollection. Code that wishes to do this should use the
namedItem()method. Note that
namedItemonly returns the first input element with the name, even if there are multiple elements (e.g. radio buttons) with the same name in the form.
- Calling methods implemented by NPAPI plugins through the
XPCNativeWrapperfor the corresponding node does not work.
- Getting or setting properties implemented by NPAPI plugins though the
XPCNativeWrapperfor the corresponding node does not work.
- Calling methods implemented via XBL bindings attached to a node through an
XPCNativeWrapperfor that node does not work.
- Getting or setting properties implemented via XBL bindings attached to a node through an
XPCNativeWrapperfor that node does not work.
- Enumerating the properties of an
XPCNativeWrappervia "
for (var p in wrapper)" does not enumerate the IDL-defined properties.
- Object.prototype is not on the prototype chain of an
XPCNativeWrapper. As a result, various
Object.prototypeproperties are undefined on an
XPCNativeWrapper(to be precise, these are
__lookupGetter__, and
- There is no support for the
importXPCNativemethod the old
XPCNativeWrapperimplementation used to have.
- Accessing standard classes (such as
Function) through an XPCNativeWrapper will not work. To create functions and objects with a particular window's parent, use that window's
Avoid Common Pitfalls in Greasemonkey has an elaborate explanation for some of these limitations (in context of Greasemonkey scripts).

TWO men had to be rescued by firefighters after getting into difficulty while swimming at a popular beauty spot.
Crews were called to Eccleston Mere just before 7pm on Saturday (June 21). It is thought that both men had been attempting to swim out towards a buoy.
One firefighter entered the water with a length of rope while his colleague remained on shore to drag them to safety.
The two men were checked by paramedics before being taken to Whiston Hospital.
Eccleston station manager Dave Watson said: "We were called after reports of two men in the water in distress.
"Firefighters from Eccleston arrived and immediately deployed a rescue swimmer. The rescue swimmer found one male was in particular distress and struggling in the water and brought him to safety. The other swimmer, who had started to swim towards the shore and safety then showed signs of distress and was also brought to safety.
"During the summer it can be tempting to take a dip in open water to cool down, but you are putting yourself at risk.
"You do not know what obstacles are under the water which can catch your legs and arms. There are also other dangers.
"Water poses a range of dangers including cold water shock which can lead to the strongest swimmers getting into difficulty during the warm weather in the summer.
"All operational firefighters in Merseyside are trained in still water rescue for incidents in or near lakes, docks and canals.
"We would urge everyone to stay safe this summer whether on, in, or near water."

Made pan pizza the other night on my Grand Hall Gas Grill. Placed a cookie sheet with pizza dough, and a light application of sauce, on top of a set of aluminum covered bricks. After the bottom of the dough developed some color, spread more sauce, cheese and spices.
Friend asked me why I didn't place the dough directly on the grill and the answer was that my 8 yr old grandson probably wouldn't have eaten it if it had grill marks and was too crispy.
