(Recipe updated 10-30-07) I'm going through a process of updating some of my earliest recipes with better photos and sometimes improved instructions, and when I came across this recipe recently I decided it really needed a facelift. (Thankfully Blogger has now improved their system so earlier recipes can be updated without breaking the links, thank you Blogger!) Truthfully, when I first started blogging, it never occurred to me that people would be finding my earliest things more than two years later, that's how clueless I was about the internet.
Beef and Sausage Meatballs in Tomato Sauce
(Makes about 6 servings, recipe adapted slightly from Old Fashioned Meatballs at Epicurious.com.)
1 pound ground beef, 15% fat or less
3 links hot Turkey Italian Sausage, about 12 oz. (squeeze out of casings)
1/3 cup 100% whole wheat bread crumbs
2 T flax seed meal (optional, but good)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp. minced garlic,
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese,
salt-pepper to taste
Additional Parmesan for sprinkling over meatballs
Sauce Ingredients:
2 cans diced tomatoes. pureed with food processor or immersion blender
(I used Muir Glen fire roasted organic tomatoes)
1 T minced garlic (or less, I used garlic puree in a jar)
2 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried oregano
(can substitute 1 T Penzeys Pasta Sprinkle for the oregano and basil)
salt to taste (I used McCormick's Mediterranean Sea Salt which I received as a sample, and it was great in this.)
Put breadcrumbs (and flax seed meal if using) in large bowl and add 1/3 cup very hot water. Let sit a few minutes until water is absorbed, then add eggs, teaspoon of garlic, grated Parmesan, and salt and pepper. Add ground beef and sausage to mixture, then use your hands to combine breadcrumb mixture with meat.
Spray glass casserole dish or roasting pan with nonstick spray, then use a tablespoon to measure out meatballs, rolling them in your hands to make them round. Arrange meatballs so there is a small space between each meatball.
South Beach Suggestions:
Use lean ground beef, turkey Italian Sausage, and 100% whole wheat bread crumbs to make this if you're following the South Beach Diet. You could eat this with Dreamfield's Low Carb Pasta if desired, or just serve as a meat dish. This would be great with a salad like Arugula and Gorgonzola Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette.

About the test
By law, certain cars, vans, trucks, motorhomes and buses must pass a Drive Clean test before they can be licensed to be driven on Ontario roads.
The Drive Clean test determines if your vehicle meets Ontario emissions standards.
When to get the test
Generally, you need to get the test every 2 years, once your vehicle is 7 years old. Larger vehicles (called 'heavy-duty' vehicles) require the test every year, once they are 7 years old.
The Ministry of Transportation will notify you when your vehicle needs an emissions test, when you receive your registration renewal documents (either online or in the mail).
I am buying a used vehicle. Does it need a Drive Clean test?
Find out if you need a test
Search a vehicle's Drive Clean history
Test types
Depending on the vehicle, the test could involve:
- an on-board diagnostic (OBD) test (reads emissions information from the vehicle's computer)
- a tailpipe test (measures tailpipe emissions)
- an opacity test (measures smoke density in diesel-fuelled vehicles)
Test facilities (who can test)
Tests must be performed at an accredited facility by a certified inspector. These private operators run the test and provide you with a test report.
Find a test facility
Test report
Your vehicle may receive:
- a pass
- a conditional pass or
- a fail
- a not ready result
You need to receive a 'pass' or 'conditional' pass to renew your licence plate sticker.
Types of vehicles
Two types of vehicles are subject to the test. The process and rules are different for each type.
Light-duty vehicles
- cars
- vans
- SUVs
- light trucks and motorhomes — with a gross vehicle weight rating (or gross combined weight rating) of 4,500 kg or less
Heavy-duty vehicles
- large trucks and motorhomes — with a gross vehicle weight rating (or gross combined weight rating) of over 4,500kg
- buses
Exempt vehicles
You do not need an emissions test for:
- most-hybrid electric vehicles
- light-duty vehicles with a model year before 1988
- vehicles that are plated "Historic" under the Highway Traffic Act
- light-duty commercial farm plated vehicles
- kit cars
- motorcycles
Rules for older model vehicles (from 1988 or earlier)
Emission requirements for 'hot rods'
The cost of a Drive Clean test depends on:
- the type of vehicle (light-duty or heavy-duty)
- the type of test (first-time test or a re-test)
Light-duty vehicles
Up to $30 (plus tax)
Heavy-duty vehicles
Each facility sets its own fees. Applicable taxes are extra.
Re-test fees (light-duty vehicles)
Up to $17.50 per test, if it is done at the same facility that performed the initial test.
$30 (plus tax) if the re-test is performed:
Diagnostic fees
If your vehicle fails and requires repairs, you may also have to pay a separate fee to have a diagnostic performed.
This diagnostic may be needed, if a Repair Technician has to examine your vehicle to determine why it did not meet emissions standards. Facilities set these fees.
Notice form
If your vehicle is due for a Drive Clean test, you will see an asterisk (*) on the notice form you get from the Ministry of Transportation when it's time to renew your vehicle's registration.

An 8 speed drive train will work with any 8 or 9 speed crankset. Chain width is the factor that affects compatibility but there is minimal difference between an 8 and 9 speed chain.
8,9 and 10 speed systems share the same free hub width so cogs on the cassette are spaced accordingly. The chain for these sets are all different widths to fit the rear cassette. 7 and 11 speed systems have different sized hubs.
It's an 8-speed cassette and the chainset is 9 speed, but it should work fine: http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=15561220

Ever wonder what it's like to tap into the human brain? Or did you ponder about the best ways to understand neurological diseases and functions such as memory? Did you know tiny neural devices can potentially help patients see, hear and move?
Vanessa Tolosa, an engineer at LLNL's Center for Bioengineering, will be answering those questions and more on the popular social media site Reddit as part as of the Bay Area Science Festival activities.
Tolosa will be answering questions about her neural research from 10 a.m. to noon on Wednesday, Oct. 29, on Reddit's AMA (Ask Me Anything) social media forum. The forum is opened to all Reddit users who post questions for a subject-matter expert to answer.

This month, we gathered all of NNSA's Senior Executive Service leaders together for a productive and valuable set of discussions on the strategic direction of NNSA. At this offsite meeting, leaders from several different government agencies shared their best practices to being a high performer on the annual "Best Places to Work" survey. We also held breakout sessions devoted to communicating effectively, driving a performance-based culture, fostering effective leadership, and developing a strategic plan.
This is not the first time NNSA's senior leadership has addressed these issues. Much work has already been done on identifying and addressing enterprise-wide problems that need attention. We are now in a position, however, to move from having high-level discussions to identifying concrete, actionable solutions, and bringing these measures to closure.
Thus, the final product of this meeting will be an action plan detailing steps NNSA's leaders can implement in the next 120 days. This plan also kicks-off an effort to update the NNSA Strategic Plan. We want all employees of the nuclear security enterprise to be involved in developing the strategic direction of NNSA, so there will be several opportunities for you to share suggestions and ideas in the weeks to come.
Your leaders are focusing their efforts on making the nuclear security enterprise a great place to work, which is an absolutely paramount part of achieving our enduring national security mission and taking care of our people.

"Mission First, People Always"
Y‑12 has been recognized by the Federal Laboratory Consortium for its outstanding work in support of science, technology, engineering, and math education. The FLC Southeast Region selected Y‑12 for the 2014 Outstanding Accomplishment in STEM Education Support award for its partnership with the Young Innovators' Society STEM league.
Y‑12 assembled a project team of scientists and experts from Y‑12, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Conservation Fisheries to work with middle school students from northern Ohio, who call themselves The Awesome Eyeballs, on their untested but innovative technology to reduce mercury levels in fish.
If successful, the students' method of reducing mercury levels in fish would directly benefit Y‑12's efforts to improve the environmental quality of the East Fork Poplar Creek, where mercury contamination in sediments from historical manufacturing processes is an ongoing issue.

When Robin Stubenhofer, vice president of engineering at the National Security Campus, heard that women account for only ten percent of the engineering workforce in America, she made a personal commitment to inspire young women to pursue technical careers. Throughout her 30-year career, she has devoted time to mentoring and developing talent for leadership and technical advancements to integrate evolving technologies into the business.
Kansas City's Central Exchange recently honored Stubenhofer's significant contributions to the STEM community by awarding the "Groundbreaker Award" at the inaugural Stemmy Gala and Awards celebration. The event puts a well-deserved spotlight on the accomplishments of women in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math careers across the greater Kansas City area. Formed in 1979, Central Exchange fosters community service and business leadership in women.
At the National Security Campus, Stubenhofer leads an organization with nearly 1,000 engineers and technical employees charged with delivering mission-critical mechanical, electrical and engineered material components and integrating evolving technologies, such as 3D printing, to improve the safety and security of our nation's defense programs.
Stubenhofer was recently awarded the 2014 Women Who Mean Business Award in Kansas City and is a strong community supporter of FIRST Robotics, Science Pioneers and KC STEM Alliance. She works with a collaborative network of educators, business affiliates and organizations that inspires interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math careers to generate a robust force of related professionals for our community.
We're off to a great start! The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) kicked off last Tuesday with the theme, "Universal Giving."
Every day, men and women in the DC area and from throughout the nation are in need of charitable assistance to help meet basic needs. The CFC is a unique opportunity for all employees across the enterprise to help better the lives of those in need.
Last year, more than $204,661.31 was raised by NNSA employees in voluntary contributions. This year, with 24 pledges to date, NNSA's goal is to exceed the target of $174,078.61 before the end of the campaign. With more than 4,400 charities to choose from, each of you can find and support causes that matters the most to you. Thus, everyone is encouraged to "Be a Superhero," by donating and actively participating in the various fundraising events that will be held throughout the course of the campaign period. In doing so, you help in meeting DOE's target goal of $1.1 million.

Laboratory directors from Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos and Sandia national laboratories recently visited the Y-12 National Security Complex. The group toured facilities at the site, including production buildings and Y-12's Nuclear Detection and Sensor Testing Center. Pictured here are (from left) Assembly/Disassembly Operations Manager Reed Mullins, Y-12 Site Manager Bill Tindal, LLNL Director William Goldstein, LANL Director Charles McMillan, Sanda Director Paul Hommert and NNSA Production Office Manager Steve Erhart.
Knowing how to enter a burning building filled with smoke while battling a blaze requires continuous training to keep people safe. Pantex Fire Department's recent training helped personnel stay familiar with their equipment and prepared for emergency situations they may not often see.
Bill Ho-Gland, Pantex Assistant Fire Chief, says the training helps support the site and the surrounding communities that may need Pantex assistance during an emergency. Pantex maintains Memorandums of Understanding with the counties surrounding the Pantex site and renders aid when requested.
Members of the Pantex Fire Department maintain certifications so they are ready to respond to any emergency that arises. This year's training scenario involved an interior structure fire. The team had to bring the fire under control using effective water application practices, firefighting posture and attack techniques.
The Pantex Fire Department is certified through the Texas Commission on Fire Protection (TCFP) and regularly trains to ensure it meets or exceeds TCFP continuing education requirements. During recent emergency training, members of the department refreshed their training in the use of self-contained breathing apparatus and other personal protective equipment.

Bidding his boyfriend Nathan goodbye, Olaf heads home to find that his parents have fixed him up on a date with his old high school sweetheart Abby. When Nathan comes knocking unannounced, he can't quite believe that Olaf hasn't come out to his parents. Later, as the boys scramble to keep Olaf's sexuality a secret from his parents, the conversations grow increasingly inquisitive and Olaf must decide whether to come out before the truth does.~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Same Universe, Different Lenses: Science, Ethics, and Religion in Dialogue
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.

This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
In a recent interview with the Sirius XM radio show Centered, Karl Giberson sat down with host Don Belanus to discuss the book The Language of Science and Faith.
In this paper, Venema tells the story of his transition from support of Intelligent Design to the view that God uses evolution as a creative mechanism.
Polkinghorne discusses the origins and aims of natural theology in this series. It does not offer truth, but rather a "best explanation" for the world, answering primarily meta-questions. Two such questions asked by Polkinghorne are, "Why is science possible at all?" and "What makes the universe so special?" To explore the answers, he looks at the ability of human minds to penetrate mysteries of the natural world as well as the fine-tuning of the universe necessary to produce the fruitfulness of life.
Many barriers to the acceptance of the BioLogos model by evangelical Christians arise from popular misconceptions about the nature of science and its relationship to God's action in our world.
Science and Religion scholar Denis Alexander presents two models for relating Adam and Eve with the findings of contemporary anthropology. This essay was presented at the November 2010 Theology of Celebration Workshop
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.
Renowned Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke considers eleven barriers that prevent evangelical theologians from accepting evolution as a possible means of creation and what these barriers tell us about the tensions perceived by many Evangelicals between science and faith. Waltke's work was based on a survey sent to members of the Fellowship of Evangelical Seminary Presidents and their faculty.

Welcome, Seminoles fans, to another historic night in the history of Florida State football! Thanks to the
brilliance of coach Jimbo Fisher's boys, the 'Noles won a thriller over the hated rival Auburn Tigers to win the BCS National Championship Game
in Pasadena and take home the 2013 NCAA Football Division I championship.
Featuring the work of legendary panoramic stadium photographer Rob Arra,
this huge print featues a beautiful corner end zone view of the action during one of the key plays of the game. With the Seminoles trailing 31-27 late in the fourth quarter, it was desperation time - 80 yards to the end zone with only 1:11 on the clock. As Jameis Winston takes the snap on first-and-10...SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall. We all know what happened in the ensuing moments - a sweet drive to sweet victory! As you pan across the print, you can see it all - the scoreboards; the partisan crowd standing throughout;
the massive sideline entourages, cheerleaders, and marching bands; the moon high in the sky above, and
the nail-biting action on the field below! Printed on premium-quality gallery stock, and complete with slick white-bordered design, and commemorative title, this is both a beautiful piece for the wall of home or office, and a valuable collector's item for years to come. Whether you are a die-hard College football enthusiast, or a Florida State or Auburn football fanatic thrilled by this unforgettable and historic night, this is the ultimate addition to your collection!

Unraveling a Brutal Custom
Words from Wiseman
Shooting, Editing, and Reading a Documentary Film
After listening to Errol Morris talk about his craft this week at the Brattle, you might be inclined to hear what another legendary local filmmaker has to say on the subject. Frederick Wiseman will present this year's Radcliffe Institute's Julia S. Phelps Lecture in Art and the Humanities, a talk entitled "Shooting, Editing, And Reading A Documentary Film."
Anita Hill looks back, and ahead
Anita Hill's new book, Reimagining Equality: Stories of Gender, Race, and Finding Home, probes the importance of the concept of home as a central element for the search for gender and racial equality through personal stories and anecdotes. She was at the Radcliffe Institute to discuss the themes in her new book, but audience members couldn't resist the chance to engage with the author about her time at the center of a national political firestorm.
Anita Hill Talks Social Inequality
Anita Hill, a professor of social policy, law, and women's studies at Brandeis University, urged Americans to closely examine social inequality and work to increase access to the "American Dream" in a lecture at the Radcliffe Institute.
Importing Italian Cuisine
The Schlesinger Library at the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard acquired a much-thumbed copy of Elizabeth David's "Italian Food" with penciled notes in the margins and more notes on slips of paper attached with paper clips. The volume had belonged to Avis DeVoto, whom Knopf hired to Americanize Elizabeth David.

Science, logic and geeks are going mainstream and it's killing the church. More precisely, the Church's long-standing aversion to science and logic is being highlighted and underscored as more people embrace geek culture in entertainment.
Of course, the resistance to science and logic is understandable, right? Facts and beliefs can be such strange bedfellows. In far too many minds, science and logic challenge faith and belief. So, ironically, it's logical for an institution founded so heavily in faith and belief to stand over and against science and logic.
I mean, we can't have doubt can we? Not in the Church. Right? Forget about various Psalms and such. Doubt would be the end to faith, right?

The Church could learn a few things from Jimmy Fallon, the new host of the "Tonight Show." And it's no surprise, really. Jimmy has said in interviews he once wanted to be a priest in the Roman Catholic Church and was influenced early in life by his experiences as an altar boy. But he never felt he could really be a priest because he couldn't keep a straight face. As a priest myself, it's always good to be reminded that our image in culture is often a dour one when it should be a joyful one.
So it got Mark and I to thinking on "The Moonshine Jesus Show" what Jimmy Fallon has to teach us and what it would be like if he were a pastor or a priest. So we started a hashtag — #ordainjimmyfallon — and the early contributions are hilarious, but also really profound at times. Seriously go check it out and add yours in! But the hashtag responses really do speak to the idea that Jimmy might have some important lessons for us.
A Prayer for Fred Phelps
by Mark Sandlin
Kalei Wilson and her family have become the focus of threats and harassment from people who are upset by her attempts to begin a place for students, who happen to be nonbelievers, to gather for support and encouragement. As you might imagine, much of the resistance comes from Christians.
As a Christian minister in North Carolina, the state where this is happening, I find it beyond troubling and sadly ironic that people who claim to follow the teachings of Jesus are responding in such an aggressive, intolerant and unloving way. It's inexcusable, really.
When I first heard about this story, I strongly felt the need to respond. I immediately realized that the response needed to include the voice of my friend, Madison Kimery, North Carolina's own teenaged, activist extraordinaire! In some ways, Madison and I couldn't be much different. I'm an oversized, scruffy, Presbyterian minister and she is a petite, brilliant, youthful atheist. Yet, we both strongly recognize the value of diversity and the freedom that this nation claims to offer to express those differences.
We've decided to write Kalei open letters of support. Be sure to read through to the end and to watch the very brief video at the end from both Madison and me. We offer up a couple of different ways we can further support Kalei.
Common Ground Conversations
I'm proud to announce that The God Article is partnering with Be Secular in their "Common Ground Conversations."
I participated in the first ever such conversation this past year at Johns Hopkins University. The outcome was exceptional. I joined in conversation with former Pentecostal minister turned secular humanist, Jerry DeWitt, about the importance of finding points of common ground between human secularists and progressive Christians. The goal was to begin envisioning ways to intentionally bring these groups together in order to have a larger impact on common goals such as LGBT rights, women's reproductive rights, separation of church and state and more.
The conversation was even better than I expected. It was engaging, honest, respectful and frequently amazingly humorous. The audience participated heavily in the discussion and we ended with some remarkable points of common ground and, what I believe was, a much clearer understanding and appreciation of each other.
Here's just a couple of examples of the conversation. First up is Jerry on why these conversations are important.
Thoughts On Love On Valentine's Day

Salvation Army kettles and the ringing bells that dot storefronts every Christmas have become something of cultural icons. When my kids were younger, one of the true joys of Christmas was each of us grabbing a handful of coins as we headed into the grocery store and joyfully stuffing it all into the kettle as we exchanged our "Merry Christmases" with the kettle workers.
We don't do that any more.
As my family and I learned more and more about the church's stance on homosexuality, we decided to share our money in other places. It was a difficult decision. We know how much good the Salvation Army does in our own town. Even our little church receives references from the local Salvation Army for people who need aid as we partner with them to help those who are struggling.

If any list has been overdone in the Christian blogging world, it's this list.
Just about every Christian blogger has done one and if they haven't, they've thought about it and then thought better of it – because just about every Christian blogger has done one. (See what I did there?)
And yet, here we are.
You. Me. And my list of things Christians shouldn't say. Hmmmm – must be God's will. (And I just realized this list should have had 11 things on it. Oh, well. I have no doubt that it's on one of the lists out there!)
Before starting my list, the editors in my head need me to say a few things, i.e. the requisite disclaimers. I do not consider this to be an exhaustive list. It's just the list of sayings I most want to talk about right now. Also, as I've explained in other posts, in this "10 Things You Can't Do While Following Jesus" series, I'm not saying that people who follow Jesus don't do these things; I'm saying that you can't say you are following Jesus' example when you do them. Finally, specific to this list, I think people who say these things are mostly trying to be kind, grateful and even humble when they say some of them. But if we really do want to be kind, grateful and humble we need to think about these sayings a little more – and then stop saying them.
10) Everything happens for a reason.
Implied in this is a very specific understanding of how God interacts with the world. Specifically, it says God directs all things. So, mass murders? God had a reason for that senseless act of violence. Stubbing your toe on the door frame? I guess God wanted to smite your toe.
This way of seeing God turns us all into puppets. God's little play things who really have no freewill. Do you truly think a god needs toys? If so, do you really think we're the best toys God could make to play with?

Ah, Christmas! The most wonderful time of the year. A time to gather with family and friends, and, with a smile on our faces, pretend we aren't quietly measuring who received the best present and which relative really, really needs to stop drinking. A time to hang tinsel and baubles from the tree, and time to hangup our hopes of losing that last 10 pounds this year. Such a joyous season!
The real point here is that Christmas is what we make of it. For Christians, however, there are some very specific things you can't do if you want to actually honor and follow the person we celebrate this season. So, I give you my "10 Things You Can't Do AT CHRSTMAS While Following Jesus." As with my other "10 Things" lists (which are linked at the end of this post), this is not intended to be a complete list, but it is a pretty good start.
10) Celebrate Consumeristmas.
For many folks, Christmas starts standing in line on Thanksgiving Day. 'Tis the season for mass consumerism. Regardless of where you think it began, Christmas has slowly drifted into the bog of consumer madness. Like frogs in a pot of slowly boiling water, we never saw it coming. For Christians, this is particularly problematic because the guy we are celebrating this time of year told us that collecting stuff here on Earth is not the way to follow him.

This tutorial will take you through the steps required to build a very basic extension - one which adds a status bar panel to the Firefox browser containing the text "Hello, World!"
Note This tutorial is about building extensions for Firefox 1.5 or 2.0. Other tutorials exist for building extensions for earlier versions of Firefox.
Setting up the Development Environment
Extensions are packaged and distributed in ZIP files, or Bundles, with the <tt>xpi</tt> (pronounced "zippy") file extension. The layout of content within the XPI file is like so:
extension.xpi: /install.rdf /components/* /components/cmdline.js /defaults/ /defaults/preferences/*.js /plugins/* /chrome.manifest /chrome/icons/default/* /chrome/ /chrome/content/
Because of this, it is easiest if we lay out our source files in a similar fashion, unless you want to write some sort of Makefile or shell script to package and zip all of your files. Even if you are prepared to do that, testing is much simpler if you lay out your files like this because of a feature of the Add-on System provided by Firefox 1.5 and later.
So let's get started. Create a folder for your extension somewhere on your hard disk, e.g. <tt>C:\extensions\myExtension\</tt> or <tt>~/extensions/myExtension/</tt>. Inside this folder create another folder called <tt>chrome</tt>, inside the <tt>chrome</tt> folder create a folder called <tt>content</tt>. (On Unix-like systems you can usually create all three directories just by running <tt>mkdir -p chrome/content</tt> from within the extension's root directory.)
Inside the root of your extension folder, alongside the <tt>chrome</tt> folder, create two new empty text files, one called <tt>chrome.manifest</tt> and the other called <tt>install.rdf</tt>.
More tips on setting up the development environment can be found on Mozillazine Knowledge Base.
Create the Install Manifest
Open the file called <tt>install.rdf</tt> that you created at the top of your extension's folder hierarchy and put this inside:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <RDF xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:em="http://www.mozilla.org/2004/em-rdf#"> <Description about="urn:mozilla:install-manifest"> <em:id>email@example.com</em:id> <em:version>1.0</em:version> <em:type>2</em:type> <!-- Target Application this extension can install into, with minimum and maximum supported versions. --> <em:targetApplication> <Description> <em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id> <em:minVersion>1.5</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>2.0.0.*</em:maxVersion> </Description> </em:targetApplication> <!-- Front End MetaData --> <em:name>Sample!</em:name> <em:description>A test extension</em:description> <em:creator>Your Name Here</em:creator> <em:homepageURL>http://www.foo.com/</em:homepageURL> </Description> </RDF>
- email@example.com - the ID of the extension. This is some value you come up with to identify your extension in email address format (note that it should not be your email). Make it unique. You could also use a GUID.
- Specify <tt><em:type>2</em:type></tt> -- the 2 declares that it is installing a extension. If you were to install a theme it would be 4 (see Install Manifests#type for other type codes).
- {ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384} - Firefox's application ID.
- 1.5 - the minimum version of Firefox you're saying this extension will work with. Set this as the minimum version you're going to commit to testing and fixing bugs with.
- 2.0.0.* - the maximum version of Firefox you're saying this extension will work with. Set this to be no newer than the newest currently available version! In this case, "2.0.0.*" indicates that the extension works with versions of Firefox 220.127.116.11 through 2.0.0.x.
Extensions designed to work with Firefox 1.5.0.x at the latest should set the maximum version to "1.5.0.*".
See Install Manifests for a complete listing of the required and optional properties.
Save the file.
Extending the Browser with XUL
Firefox's user interface is written in XUL and JavaScript. XUL is an XML grammar that provides user interface widgets like buttons, menus, toolbars, trees etc. User actions are bound to functionality using JavaScript.
To extend the browser, we modify parts of the browser UI by adding or modifying widgets. We add widgets by inserting new XUL DOM elements into the browser window, and modify them by using script and attaching event handlers.
The browser is implemented in a XUL file called <tt>browser.xul</tt> (<tt>$FIREFOX_INSTALL_DIR/chrome/browser.jar</tt> contains <tt>content/browser/browser.xul</tt>). In browser.xul we can find the status bar, which looks something like this:
<statusbar id="status-bar"> ... <statusbarpanel>s ... </statusbar>
<tt><statusbar id="status-bar"></tt> is a "merge point" for a XUL Overlay.
XUL Overlays
XUL Overlays are a way of attaching other UI widgets to a XUL document at run time. A XUL Overlay is a .xul file that specifies XUL fragments to insert at specific merge points within a "master" document. These fragments can specify widgets to be inserted, removed, or modified.
Example XUL Overlay Document
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<overlay id="sample"
<statusbar id="status-bar">
<statusbarpanel id="my-panel" label="Hello, World"/>
The <tt><statusbar></tt> called <tt>status-bar</tt> specifies the "merge point" within the browser window that we want to attach to.
The <tt><statusbarpanel></tt> child is a new widget that we want to insert within the merge point.
Take this sample code above and save it into a file called <tt>sample.xul</tt> inside the <tt>chrome/content</tt> folder you created.
For more information about merging widgets and modifying the user interface using Overlays, see below.
Chrome URIs
XUL files are part of "Chrome Packages" - bundles of user interface components which are loaded via <tt>chrome://</tt> URIs. Rather than load the browser from disk using a <tt>file://</tt> URI (since the location of Firefox on the system can change from platform to platform and system to system), Mozilla developers came up with a solution for creating URIs to XUL content that the installed application knows about.
The browser window is: <tt>chrome://browser/content/browser.xul</tt> Try typing this URL into the location bar in Firefox!
Chrome URIs consist of several components:
- Firstly, the URI scheme (<tt>chrome</tt>) which tells Firefox's networking library that this is a Chrome URI. It indicates that the content of the URI should be handled as a (<tt>chrome</tt>). Compare (<tt>chrome</tt>) to (<tt>http</tt>) which tells Firefox to treat the URI as a web page.
- Secondly, a package name (in the example above, <tt>browser</tt>) which identifies the bundle of user interface components. This should be as unique to your application as possible to avoid collisions between extensions.
- Thirdly, the type of data being requested. There are three types: <tt>content</tt> (XUL, JavaScript, XBL bindings, etc. that form the structure and behavior of an application UI), <tt>locale</tt> (DTD, .properties files etc that contain strings for the UI's localization), and <tt>skin</tt> (CSS and images that form the theme of the UI)
- Finally, the path of a file to load.
So, <tt>chrome://foo/skin/bar.png</tt> loads the file <tt>bar.png</tt> from the <tt>foo</tt> theme's <tt>skin</tt> section.
When you load content using a Chrome URI, Firefox uses the Chrome Registry to translate these URIs into the actual source files on disk (or in JAR packages).
Create a Chrome Manifest
For more information on Chrome Manifests and the properties they support, see the Chrome Manifest Reference.
Open the file called <tt>chrome.manifest</tt> that you created alongside the <tt>chrome</tt> directory at the root of your extension's source folder hierarchy.
Add in this code:
content sample chrome/content/
(Don't forget the trailing slash, "<tt>/</tt>"! Without it, the extension won't get loaded.)
Note: Make sure you use all lowercase characters for the package name ("sample") as Firefox/Thunderbird 1.5 doesn't support mixed/camel case. Apparently it will in version 2.
This specifies the:
- type of material within a chrome package
- name of the chrome package
- location of the chrome packages' files
So, this line says that for a chrome package sample, we can find its content files at the location <tt>chrome/content</tt> which is a path relative to the location of <tt>chrome.manifest</tt>.
Note that content, locale and skin files must be kept inside folders called content, locale and skin within your <tt>chrome</tt> subdirectory.
Save the file. When you launch Firefox with your extension, (later in this tutorial), this will register the chrome package.
Register an Overlay
You need Firefox to merge your overlay with the browser window whenever it displays one. So add this line to your <tt>chrome.manifest</tt> file:
overlay chrome://browser/content/browser.xul chrome://sample/content/sample.xul
This tells Firefox to merge <tt>sample.xul</tt> into <tt>browser.xul</tt> when <tt>browser.xul</tt> loads.
First, we need to tell Firefox about your extension. In the bad old days of Firefox 1.0 this meant packaging your extension as a XPI and installing it through the user interface, which was a real pain. Now, it's much simpler.
- Open your Profile Folder
- Open the extensions folder (create it if it doesn't exist)
- Create a new text file, and put the path to your extension folder inside, e.g. <tt>C:\extensions\myExtension\</tt> or <tt>~/extensions/myExtension</tt>. Save the file with the id of your extension as its name, e.g. <tt>email@example.com</tt>
Now you're ready to test your extension!
Start Firefox. Firefox will detect the text link to your extension directory and install the Extension. When the browser window appears you should see the text "Hello, World!" on the right side of the status bar panel.
You can now go back and make changes to the .xul file, close and restart Firefox and they should appear.
These don't actually match the described extension and confuse people. -Nickolay CENTER> {{mediawiki.internal('Image:Helloworld_tools_menu.PNG', "en")}} {{mediawiki.internal('Image:Helloworld_extensions_wnd.PNG', "en")}} </CENTER
Now that your extension works, you can package it for deployment and installation.
Zip up the contents of your extension's folder (not the extension folder itself), and rename the zip file to have a .xpi extension. In Windows XP, you can do this easily by selecting all the files and subfolders in your extension folder, right click and choose "Send To -> Compressed (Zipped) Folder". A .zip file will be created for you. Just rename it and you're done!
On Mac OS X, you can right-click on the extension's folder and choose "Create Archive of..." to make the zip file. However, since Mac OS X adds hidden files to folders in order to track file metadata, you should instead use the Terminal, delete the hidden files (whose names begin with a period), and then use the <tt>zip</tt> command on the command line to create the zip file.
On Linux, you would likewise use the command-line Zip tool.
Now upload the .xpi file to your server, making sure it's served as <tt>application/x-xpinstall</tt>. You can link to it and allow people to download and install it in Firefox.
Using addons.mozilla.org
Mozilla Update is a distribution site where you can host your extension for free. Your extension will be hosted on Mozilla's mirror network to guarantee your download even though it might be very popular. Mozilla's site also provides users easier installation, and will automatically make your newer versions available to users of your existing versions when you upload them. In addition Mozilla Update allows users to comment and provide feedback on your extension. It is highly recommended that you use Mozilla Update to distribute your extensions!
Visit http://addons.mozilla.org/developers/ to create an account and begin distributing your extensions!
Note: Your Extension will be passed faster and downloaded more if you have a good description and some screenshots of the extension in action.
Registering Extensions in the Windows Registry
On Windows, information about extensions can be added to the registry, and the extensions will automatically be picked up the next time the applications starts. This allows application installers to easily add integration hooks as extensions. See Adding Extensions using the Windows Registry for more information.
More on XUL Overlays
In addition to appending UI widgets to the merge point, you can use XUL fragments within Overlays to:
- Modify attributes on the merge point, e.g. <tt><statusbar id="status-bar" hidden="true"/></tt> (hides the status bar)
- Remove the merge point from the master document, e.g. <tt><statusbar id="status-bar" removeelement="true"/></tt>
- Control the position of the inserted widgets:
<statusbarpanel position="1" .../> <statusbarpanel insertbefore="other-id" .../> <statusbarpanel insertafter="other-id" .../>
Creating New User Interface Components
You can create your own windows and dialog boxes as separate .xul files, provide functionality by implementing user actions in .js files, using DOM methods to manipulate UI widgets. You can use style rules in .css files to attach images, set colors etc.
View the XUL documentation for more resources for XUL developers.
Defaults Files
Defaults files that you use to seed a user's profile with should be placed in <tt>defaults/</tt> under the root of your extension's folder hierarchy. Default preferences .js files should be stored in <tt>defaults/preferences/</tt> - when you place them here they will be automatically loaded by Firefox's preferences system when it starts so that you can access them using the Preferences API.
XPCOM Components
Firefox supports XPCOM components in extensions. You can create your own components easily in JavaScript or in C++ (using the Gecko SDK).
Place all of your .js or .dll files in the <tt>components/</tt> directory - they are automatically registered the first time Firefox runs after your extension is installed.
For more information see How to Build an XPCOM Component in Javascript and the Creating XPCOM Components book.
Application Command Line
One of the possible uses of custom XPCOM components is adding a command line handler to Firefox or Thundebird. You can use this technique to run your extension as an application:
firefox.exe -myapp
I should move the useful parts of this to the Command Line page. -Nickolay This is done by adding a component containing the function... function NSGetModule(comMgr, fileSpec) { return myAppHandlerModule; } This function is run by firefox each time firefox is started. Firefox registers the myAppHandlerModule's by calling its 'registerSelf()'. Then it obtains the myAppHandlerModule's handler factory via 'getClassObject()'. The handler factory is then used to create the handle using its 'createInstance(). Finally, the handle's 'handle(cmdline)' processes the command line cmdline's handleFlagWithParam() and handleFlag(). See Chrome: Command Line and a forum discussion for details.
To support more than one language, you should separate strings from your content using entities and string bundles. It is much easier to do this as you are developing your extension than to come back and do it later!
Localization information is stored in the locale directory for the extension. For example, to add a locale to our sample extension, create a directory named "locale" in chrome (where the "content" directory is located) and add the following line to the chrome.manifest file:
locale sample sampleLocale chrome/locale/
To create localizable attribute values in XUL, you put the values in a <tt>.ent</tt> (or a <tt>.dtd</tt>) file, which should be placed in the locale directory and looks like this:
<!ENTITY button.label "Click Me!"> <!ENTITY button.accesskey "C">
And then include it at the top of your XUL document (but underneath the "<?xml version"1.0"?>") like so:
<!DOCTYPE window SYSTEM "chrome://packagename/locale/filename.ent">
window is the
localName value of the root element of the XUL document, and the value of the <tt>SYSTEM</tt> property is the chrome URI to the entity file. For our sample extension, the root element is
To use the entities, modify your XUL to look like this:
<button label="&button.label;" accesskey="&button.accesskey;"/>
The Chrome Registry will make sure the entity file is loaded from the localization bundle corresponding to the selected locale.
For strings that you use in script, create a .properties file, a text file that has a string on each line in this format:
and then use <tt>nsIStringBundleService</tt>/<tt>nsIStringBundle</tt> or the <tt><stringbundle></tt> tag to load the values into script.
Understanding the Browser
Use the DOM Inspector (not part of the Standard Firefox installation, you must reinstall with the Custom install path and choose Developer Tools if there is not a "DOM Inspector" item in your browser's Tools menu) to inspect the browser window or any other XUL window you want to extend.
Use the point-and-click node finder button at the top left of the DOM Inspector's toolbar to click on a node in the XUL window visually to select it. When you do this the DOM inspector's DOM hierarchy tree view will jump to the node you clicked on.
Use the DOM Inspector's right side panel to discover merge points with ids that you can use to insert your elements from overlays. If you cannot discover an element with an id that you can merge into, you may need to attach a script in your overlay and insert your elements when the <tt>load</tt> event fires on the master XUL window.
Debugging Extensions
Analytical Tools for Debugging
- The DOM Inspector - inspect attributes, DOM structure, CSS style rules that are in effect (e.g. find out why your style rules don't seem to be working for an element - an invaluable tool!)
- Venkman - set breakpoints in JavaScript and inspect call stacks
arguments.callee.callerin JavaScript - access a function's call stack
printf debugging
- Run Firefox with <tt>-console</tt> at the command line and use
dump("string")(see the link for details)
- Use
nsIConsoleServiceto log to the JavaScript console
Advanced debugging
- Run a debug Firefox build and set breakpoints in Firefox itself, or your C++ components. For the experienced developer, this is often the fastest way to diagnose a problem. See Build Documentation and Developing Mozilla for more information.
- See Debugging a XULRunner Application for more helpful tips.
Quick Start
You can use the Extension Wizard online tool to generate a simple extension to work with.
A Hello World extension similar to what you can generate with the Extension Wizard is explained line-by-line in another tutorial from MozillaZine Knowledge Base.

|An Inside Look at the Manischewitz Cook-off
By Robin Saul - Finalist
When I read about the Manischewitz Cook-off I just couldn't resist entering. I was researching ways to gather funding for my daughter's education, and a $25,000 grand prize (cash and Maytag appliances) would surely help. I really did not think that I would become a finalist but, I do have a knack for creating original recipes that appeal to family and friends- a talent I do not take for granted. I created my original recipe inspired by a picture I had seen of a Panini that was so thin it looked like matzo, not bread. I added mushrooms, mango and balsamic flavors as the sandwich filler.
The contest rules encouraged simple, simple, simple – 9 ingredients, 3 of which had to be Manischewitz products. I found it easy to enter under these rules because I like to limit my ingredients anyway, and often take shortcuts for ease in cooking and preparation. Using Manischewitz products was not a problem for me, because they are readily available, and I find their quality superior to other similar products. I especially enjoy the broths to make soups, rice dishes, and also as ingredients in flavorful reductions.
Imagine how surprised and excited I was to receive the initial phone call from the Manischewitz PR representatives asking me questions specifically about my use of products and my reason for entering the contest. And then, I was even more excited when they told me that I WAS a finalist and I would be flying to Newark, New Jersey to compete on contest day, March 21st.
Prior to the trip, I tried to learn as much as I could about the Manischewitz Company, the history, the employees, the CEO's and their mission statement. I took being a finalist seriously and really felt they chose me and the other finalists to represent their company. After all, our recipes were all to be showcased on the Manischewitz site. I was honored.
But the timing... was a huge issue. This year I was invited out for Passover Seder meals and did not have family to entertain,. So, even though the event was just 4 days prior to the holiday I was able to interrupt my Passover preparation schedule. However, the timing was a concern for the other contestants as well; everyone agreed that perhaps in the future the date should be reconsidered. (That is – everyone agreed except the person who won the grand prize! )
The Experience
I had a sleepless night (well almost). I was emailing at 4 AM. The morning of the contest all the contestants were driven from the hotel to the Manischewitz plant which crowded with media personalities, Manischewitz Company representatives, friends and family. I was so nervous I did not eat, even though there was plenty of catered food. The caterer also prepared "copycat tastings" of the competing recipes.
It was exciting as spectators and the media surrounded our workstations, took pictures, and asked questions, interviewed and videotaped us. So many people approached me from different newspapers, publications, food blogs – it was overwhelming. As I looked down the line at my fellow contestants, they too were surrounded. Is this what is known as the 15 minutes of fame? Or as my husband named it: "Queen for a Day."
The Judges and the Judging
And now the judging –No, I was not nervous, but my adrenaline was pulsing fast and I was trying to be bright and cheery while the clock ticked away. OOPS! One judge came by as I was flipping my Panini in the pan and the matzo had browned while being pressed and fried. She asked," Is that supposed to happen?" hinting that I might have I burned my sandwich. I told her yes, but then she started writing something on her clipboard. I know that I told someone else that a Panini was grilled like grilled cheese, or French toast but this judge didn't seem to care- I saw it in her face. OOPS again --There was another judge who loved that I was from Atlanta and just wanted to talk about the Atlanta Braves. Well, I was trying to sauté my mushrooms and I am not really a Braves fan. (Not a time to talk baseball!)
It was hard to know just what the judges wanted, but we were told ease of preparation was very important, as was multitasking. We had to continue creating our recipes (the clock was ticking) while interacting with whoever came to our stations to ask questions. (Somewhat like Food TV) Another contestant told me that her recipe could be made while she held her baby on her hip; we all laughed about that.
We had one hour to prepare and plate our recipes. After the hour was up, each contestant carried their dish to the judges' table, shared a bit about themselves and their recipe and then a Manischewitz assistant divided the food individually for each judge to taste. We did not get any feedback and the votes were private.
The Mayor
The Wrap Up
Would I do it again? Maybe. I arrived home happy, but totally exhausted. I am looking forward to using all the Manischewitz products the company is sending me as a finalist prize. $500 worth of products will definitely keep me going for a while.
Robin Saul, a resident of Atlanta, GA was selected as a finalist in the 7th Annual Manischewitz Cook-Off competition. Robin is a dietician with 4 children and 4 grandchildren. She is passionate about creative, simple, and healthy cooking, nourishing family and friends, and vegetable gardening. Many of her cuisine inspirations come from traveling with her husband Art. She would love to see more kosher restaurants become farm to table with exquisite fresh vegetables replacing the typical fatty options.

Vancouver, BC: The British
Rugby Union is pleased to announce the schedule for the second annual
BC Rugby Sevens Series.
Seven-a-side rugby is on the
rise in North America due largely to the recent inclusion of the sport in the
2016 Olympics. British Columbia is leading the charge in Canada, being the
first to run a competition of this kind.
In its inaugural 2010 season, the BC Sevens Series featured over 40 teams
from both Canada and the United States.
Building on last years
success, the 2011 edition will feature six tournaments endorsed by BC Rugby as official
competitions on the sevens circuit. Club teams competing in those tournaments can
accrue points towards a provincial sevens title.
There will be six more
social tournaments across the province and in the US throughout the summer,
which will not be sanctioned as official stops on the circuit. A number of
youth tournaments will also be held in conjunction with the senior tournaments
and those dates will be announced shortly.

It takes a bit of practice but the skills needed will make you overall a more skilled and confident bike rider. Once you get used to it, Ghostriding several miles across town is not much trouble. With the riding skills you learn, soon you'll be talking on your cell and drinking your morning coffee on your ride to work too, just like your friends in Berlin, Amsterdam or Tokyo.
This article is brought to you by Momentum magazine and MonkeyLectric.
Step 1: One Hand Riding
As you can see from the photos, there are lots of good reasons to learn to ride one handed besides ghostriding!
you are both showing off now how did you learn to do it with no hands?
or did you just do it allot?
This is great! One time, my friend had a heart attack or something and I had to ghost ride his bike, with him riding on the back of my bike rack! Felt like a hero xD
I read your instructions are really good, actually they clearly described what all I had done when I had done it for the first time.
I would like to suggest you to add a problem faced while ghost riding that occur when there comes a bump. I is really a shaky condition which occur because there is no weight over the other bike
Harder thing will be to actually do it without both hands.
Been doing things like that for years, Ghost Riding. But my head never turned into a flamming skull. Haha.
Really though, it's a nice, useful skill. Recommended.
I have also tried taking off the second bikes front wheel. then putting washers on the left side of my 3 speed folder bikes rear axle. so the fork would sit away from the frame. rear bike was off to the side. but tracked ok. was an older bike with thin fork legs. I tried it with suspension forked bike. couldnt attach it. me a sturdy bit of metal to bolt on to both the rear axle and the second bikes forks.
ghostriding a car: hopping out of the driver seat while its rolling and walking next to it.
ghostriding a bike: taking a 2nd bike with you while you ride the 1st bike (like my article above).
because of the two meanings, you see a video like this where the car-use of the term is applied to bikes. but it is not the general meaning for bikes.

Images That Can't Be Taken
Fifteen years ago I was helping out in GeoCities Help Chat. A friend came in and asked us all to go to his website and try to steal his images on his pages. We tried the usual ways, downloading the page, right-clicking, viewing the source code and failed. Even a screenshot failed to take them. He has always refused to tell anyone how he did that.
Does anyone here know how he could have accomplished that?Master Newbie http://dwightstegall.com/

I've never seen screenshot not working
But in any case, if your friend thinks his/her photos can't be taken once they appear on a computer screen, they are sadly mistaken.
Anyone with an IQ above their show size should be able to work out that they can, as a very last resort, take a high resolution photo of the image on the screen. For most uses, the quality of the photo will be good enough especially after it is cropped and enhanced if required in Photoshop.

Great news, animal advocates: the New York State Legislature and Governor David Paterson have approved a budget bill reinstating a program that helps fund spay/neuter surgeries for pets of low-income residents. Spay/neuter reduces pet overpopulation and the needless euthanasia of adoptable cats and dogs in New York's animal shelters.
Despite the success of the state's low-income spay/neuter program, which began in 1996 and has helped fund approximately 90,000 spay/neuter surgeries, its existence was threatened when the 2010-2011 Executive Budget initially proposed eliminated it.
"Without some kind of pet sterilization program to meet the needs of low-income New Yorkers, we would likely experience a large increase in the number of unwanted dog and cat births in our state—leading to further overcrowding in shelters and increased euthanasia," says Debora Bresch, Esq., ASPCA Sr. Director of Government Relations. "The ASPCA activated our New York Advocacy Brigade and worked closely with legislators—particularly Assembly Members Amy Paulin, Linda Rosenthal and Senator Eric Schneiderman—to help ensure passage of this critical humane legislation."
If you want to lend a helping hand in getting pro-animal laws passed, join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade to learn how to take action when animal-related legislation is pending in your state and in Congress.

A little utility to assist the user in cleaning the keyboard / mouse without turning off the PC.
So for keyboard cleaning the application would disable the keyboard (and I guess this is the tricky part: all special keys (multimedia keys, windows))... click with the mouse and keyboard is enabled again.
For mouse cleaning the application would disable the mouse (and all extra mouse buttons, like thumb or wheel button). Press a key and it's enabled again.
An application like this exists... http://www.crystalsoftware.com.au/cleango.html. But I'm too cheap to dish out $10 for such tool , and don't need a fancy GUI or cleaning instructions.
I found a freeware version years ago called Clean'm Up (no homepage), but it fails on the special keys... The Windows key would still work, even if the keyboard is disabled.
