A chandelier is a very attractive way to light the home. They can provide an awe-inspiring centrepiece to a room that other types of lights just simply cannot. Visitors into the home will always comment on a well placed and beautiful chandelier. They come in a wide range of styles and designs however so it can be difficult to know what to buy. That is why this article is perfect for those looking at buying their first chandelier because it can guide you through the process. There are many considerations to make and this article acts as a list of ideas to consider. Go through the list one by one to make sure you end up with the perfect chandelier for your room.
The height of the room is the first important idea to think about. If you have a very low ceilinged room then a chandelier on a long chain won't be a a good idea. The first thing you should do when buying a chandelier is get the tape measure out and work out how much space you have. The chandelier should always be at least seven feet off the ground so there is no chance of anyone banging their head unless they are seven feet tall which is fairly unlikely.

making your firefox browser load faster
Download your Firefox here
This will make your pages load even faster.
1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows: (by double clicking them)
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. (I changed mine to 100, works great.)

Create a Fully Modded PHPbb forum
1. Well once you get the file onto your computer, your going to need an FTP client. You can also use Core FTP, just do a Google search for it, and theres a free version, which I use, and is just great.
2a. I'm guessing you already have an unzipping program to unzip the file you're downloading, so we'll skip that step.
2b. Go to http://phpbbfm.net On the left side, e little below the top, click on the Zip link, which will download the file. Unzip the file you just got.
3. Once all the files have been unzipped from the main file you just got, find the folder that you unzipped all the files to. It should be name pretty much the same thing as the big file you just got.
4. Rename the folder to whatever you want. The one I use is "Forum" because the name of my forum is "Hancuk dot kom", for Community Forum. You will probably be happy to use a folder name such as "forum" or other so when your users go to your site, it will be easy to remember. Also, whatever you name this folder, will be the folder name of your forum. For instance, this forum, they use "forums" I think you get the point.
5. Now open your FTP program, and enter the details of your login, which you should get via e-mail, these include the FTP site, which may be a series of numbers, like 111.11.111.11 or something like that. Or if you don't get any numbers, just use ftp.YourSubDomain.YourHost.com or whatever your site is, with an "ftp." before it. Now enter your username and password, which will most likely be with the e-mail that hass all the numbers and stuff.
6. Once connected, (I'm assuming your using Core FTP, but most FTP programs are very similar) use the left side (windows) to find the folder that you renamed from step 4. And just find it, don't open it or anything. Then on the right, there should be some folders, one of them being "public_html", open that folder. If you don't have that folder, PM me, and I'll explain more.
7. Now that you are in the public_html folder, go ahead and drag the folder you renamed, over to inside the public_html folder, it will start to que up files, queing takes only a minute or two, but transferring for me can take up 45 minutes to an hour. Now if you want to take a break, go for it, the FTP program should do all the work from here.
8. After your break, head over to the CPanel, that comnes with your account. Use the same username and password that you used to sign into FTP.
9. Find the link called "SQL databases" or somehting that has "SQL" in it. Probably "MySQL Databases". Click on the link. Now this is kind of confusing, but bear with me. Your going to need to add a database, call it "forum" and click "Add Database". the databse will then be called "YouUserName_forum" remember this.
10. Now go back to the part where you made the database. And find the two boxes together, one being username, and the other being password. This is where you are going to make a user for your database. Just enter "forum" as the username, and use whatever you want for the password, but remember the password. Click "Add User".
11. Now your going to assign the user you just made, to the database you made before. Find where it says "Add user to database" and there should be 2 drop down menus. One of them, being the user, and the second, the database. Don't worry about all those checkboxes, it should already be set on "All" for you. In the first drop-down, find "YouUserName_forum" and then in the second one, do the same thing. And click "Add user to database".
12. Now your done with CPanel. When your files have been transferred over, open a new window of whatever browser you use, or a new Tab (Ctrl + T) if you use Firefox. Go to your website. Which should be like YourWebsite.YourHost.com or whatever, but after that, add "/forum". This should take you to the installation, if not, go back to your site, and add "/forum/install/install.php"
13. Now you have the installation page open. For Database Name, and Database User, enter "YourUserName_forum" and the password is whatever you set it to be when you made the user. Then go down, put in your e-mail, the Username you want to be your Administrator (I just use "Admin"). And the password you want to log in. These will be your username and password for your forum. Make sure all of the fileds are entered, leave the port and all that alone.
Just do what it says here. Now click Next, or Install, or whatever it says. Then a new page will open, if you have errors, PM me, if not, click Finish.
14. Now go back to your FTP thing, and on the right, the one that is your website, open the folder "forum" or whatever you named it, and delete the folder "install". Now go to your website plus the "/forum" and log in.
Your all set!
15. Somehting you will need to do, is in the Admin CP, click on the plus next to "General" then click on "Configuration". A new thing will pop up, and click on the plus next to "Cookie Settings". Make sure the cookie
domain is ".xena-free.com" IT MUST HAVE THE "." before xena-free.com Then change the cookie name to whatever you want, no spaces. This step makes it so people don't have to log in twice to your forum every time.
