Fun Facts

One of the most important things in your Christmas decorating is your tree. It is the center of our holiday decorating scheme. Each year we scratch our heads and try to figure out what we can do with our tree. Then of course we would like the family to get involved but that does not always happen with our busy lives these days. How you decorate depends on your own individual tastes. The colors you want to use. The decorations that appeal to you and so on. It actually takes some knowledge to be able to put your tree together. In this piece, we will talk about what you should be doing when thinking about setting up your own tree and the sequence of each task.

Fresh or Artificial

First, you will want to decide on a real or artificial tree. While real are nice and full and have the touch of scent, they can also be hard to keep fresh. If you opt for artificial, you can be assured that it will last for several seasons. Try to keep the tree away from the wall. It makes it easier to decorate.

Decide on a Theme

Choosing a theme can be creative and fun. It is totally up to your imagination.

Create Decorations

Instead of the usual run of the mill store bought decorations, you and your family can make your own. Simply visit a craft store or dollar store and find some truly inspiring items.

Personalize

Add a special touch with personalized decorations. You can add photos, dates, names and mementos to make the tree a family event.

Look In Unusual Places

You do not always have to visit a department store to get decorations. You could take a walk around your local hardware store, fair, garage sale and thrift store. You never know what treasures you can find.

Lights

When it comes to lighting, you should always bury your lights deep within the tree. Make sure you wind them around every branch for the most impact. Start lighting from the top of the tree to the bottom. That way you do not end up with unsightly plugs in the wrong places.

Garland

You should start at the top with the garland too. The garland should be weaved in and out of the tree as well.

Ornaments

Bigger ornaments should surround the bottom of the tree and smaller ones towards the top. Also try to place some deeper into the tree as well. You can mix less expensive ornaments with more expensive for greater impact.

One thing to remember is to decorate all sides of your tree, even the back. This can still be seen even if it is against a wall. Well now that the tree is decorated, one last item needs to be placed.

Topper

The topper is very important. Without it, the tree looks unfinished. If you do not have, toppers then make one. You can use almost anything. A nice thick ribbon would work equally as well.

Now that your tree is decorated, you can sit back and enjoy it for the rest of the season.

Firefox is in my opinion the best browser ever made until now. It includes:

-improved tabbed browsing
-pop up blocking
-integrated Goggle search
-enhanced privacy controls
-built-in phishing protection
-online spell checking
-lots of themes, interfaces, and extensions/addons

Mozilla Firefox officially supports:

-Microsoft Windows
-Linux
-Mac OS X

Unofficial Support:

-Free BSD
-OS/2
-Solaris
-SkyOS
-BeOS
-XP Professional x64 Edition

Now here are some Tips&Tricks that can help you double the speed of Firefox.

1. Type about:config in the address bar and then press Enter.

2. In the filter search bar type network.http.pipelining. Be sure the value field is set true,if not double-click to set true. HTTP is the application-layer protocol that most web pages are transferred with. In HTTP 1.1, multiple requests can be sent before any responses are received. This is known as pipelining. Pipelining reduces page loading times, but not all servers support it.

3. Go back to the filter search bar and type network.http.pipelining.maxrequests. Double-click this option and set its value to 8.

4. In the filter search bar and type network.http.proxy.pipelining. Once opened doubleclick on it and set it to true.

5. In IPv6-capable DNS servers, an IPv4 address may be returned when an IPv6 address is requested. It is possible for Mozilla to recover from this misinformation, but a significant delay is introduced.
Type network.dns.disableIPv6 in the filter search bar and set this option to true by double clicking on it.

6. CONTENT INTERRUPT PARSING

This preference controls if the application will interrupt parsing a page to respond to UI events. It does not exist by default. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window, select New and then Boolean from the pop-up menu. Then:

A. Enter content.interrupt.parsing in the New boolean value pop-up window and click OK
B. When prompted to choose the value for the new boolean, select true and click OK.

7. Rather than wait until a page has completely downloaded to display it to the user, Mozilla applications will regularly render what has been received to that point. This option controls the maximum amount of time the application will be unresponsive while rendering pages. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window, select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

A. Enter content.max.tokenizing.time in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK
B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 2250000 and click OK.

8. CONTENT NOTIFY INTERVAL

This option sets the minimum amount of time to wait between reflows. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window, select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

A. Type content.notify.interval in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.
B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 750000 and click OK.

9. CONTENT NOTIFY ONTIMER

A. This option sets if to reflow pages at an interval any higher than that specified by content.notify.interval. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Boolean from the pop-up menu.

B. Type content.notify.ontimer in the New boolean value pop-up window and click OK.
C. You will be prompted to choose the value for the new boolean. Select true and click OK.

10. Notify Backoffcount

This option controls the maximum number of times the content will do timer-based reflows. After this number has been reached, the page will only reflow once it is finished downloading. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

A. Enter content.notify.backoffcount in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.
B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 5 and click OK.

11. CONTENT SWITCH THRESHOLD

You can interact with a loading page when content.interrupt.parsing is set to true. When a page is loading, the application has two modes: a high frequency interrupt mode and a low frequency interrupt mode. The first one interrupts the parser more frequently to allow for greater UI responsiveness during page load.
The low frequency interrupt mode interrupts the parser less frequently to allow for quicker page load. The application enters high frequency interrupt mode when you move the mouse or type on the keyboard and switch back to low frequency mode when you had no activity for a certain amount of time. This preference controls that amount of time. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

A. Enter content.switch.threshold in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.

B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 750000 and click OK.

12. NGLAYOUT INITIALPAINT DELAY

Mozilla applications render web pages incrementally, they display what’s been received
of a page before the entire page has been downloaded. Since the start of a web page
normally doesn’t have much useful information to display, Mozilla applications will wait
a short interval before first rendering a page. This preference controls that interval. Rightclick (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

A. Enter nglayout.initialpaint.delay in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.

B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 0 and click OK.
