Mozilla Firefox for Mac User Reviews
Very good
out of 541 user reviews
"What a Web browser should be!"
Version: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.2
Although out of the box Firefox is not much of anything else but a great web browser. You control what goes and what stays unlike other browsers.. With a Few configurations changes and tinkering a-bit it has became my all-time favorite browser! It's highly customizable, You can change the speed, the way it works and looks; With lots of Extensions and themes, and css code to choose from. It Has an easy to use interface. I love the Tab browsing features, pop up blocker, high custimizabilty, and the search bar integrated into Firefox. That makes browsing the web easier, safer, and more enjoyable. Heres a few notible extensions I couldn't do without 1.Session saver .2 it saves your session so when you exit out, and come back everything is exactly how it was left. Pages, Tabs, cookies, ect. 2.Adblock- blocks most if not all ads. This update fixes a few things. I can't recommend Firefox enough!
"The best Browser for mac"
Version: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1
Fast, Easy to use.. Perfect!
"The product appears to be fine."
Version: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1
This product was suffient for my computer.
"Great browser by every criteria...."
Version: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1
Great,fast browser,and the best thing is...it's not IE :)
"Ugly and Unstable"
Version: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1
Firefox is relatively fast - especially compared to Safari - and displays most web pages properly.
For a start, Firefox is just ugly. Even though there are a fair few skins out there, they only appeal if you like the garish. Unfortunately, there is no option for the sleek look of safari. But my real qualm about FF is the number of time pages inexplicably 'die.' What I mean is that for example I won't be able to type in a google search no matter how many times I refresh the page. Eventually, you have to close the window and start again - a real pain if you have a bunch of tabs open.
"Customization makes this browser surpass Opera and all others."
Version: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1
Unsurpassed customizability. Nearly as fast as Opera after customizing config. Excellent extensions with more inevitably to come. More customizable mouse gestures than Opera. Slickest looking browser (after customization). Very decent tab handling. But most of all, it's open-source: this is something that FF always has over other browsers. If there is something you wish it had, chances are good that someone else thought so too, and wrote an extension to do it. My browser feeds me weather, works with iTunes, blocks all Ads (not just popups), finds directions through MapQuest by highlighting and right clicking, saves my tabs in case of crash, and much more. Customization puts FF way over any other browser, and inches it past Opera's speed, which is a sacrifice for its handling of only 'standards'.
Not as fast as Opera, even after customizing the about:config.
"FAST and EASY to use"
Version: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1
"it's not all that"
Version: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1
- absolute pro: security.. It lets no spyware through, no pop ups.
- It's not any faster than IE (customize IE folks)
- The biggest disadvantage is, just like the other browsers, that in the last years, lots of scripts are IE minded, so even in FF things are not always that looking good in websites.
- And FF has serious probs with java
Version: Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1
Excellent. The firefox has more stability that internet explore.
Nothing yet.
"For mac version, this feels a bit better than safari and much better than IE"
Version: Mozilla Firefox 1.0
As other reviewers have commented, it is a faster browser as compared to the others. Nice browsing. Interestingly, the interface and the functions are more or less like Safari. The load time and the stability appears to be better than Safari . IE for mac is just incomparable.
I do like the browser but there are drawbacks. For example, when you print from the browswer with larger data, like from a database, the browswer would freeze reqardless of how many times you restart the browser or the computer. I would have to switch back and forth between Safari and Firefox for printing some webpages. Also, I have to force quit the program a few times but it is not fatal. Good browser overall.

To the editor:
Releasing and printing the names of people who own guns is a matter of public record, like everything from deeds and delinquent taxes. It should be released to the public.
There are good reasons for transparency in government. People are entitled to information to protect themselves against government corruption. This is why we have the right to public trial.
Imagine what a tyrannical government could do in a secret trial.
The president belatedly released 6,000 new regulations made in the past six months by unelected bureaucrats in place of laws.
These agencies enact taxes, a power reserved to congress, by fees for permits, licenses and fines - enforced without your right to due process.
Licensing reverses the presumption of innocence and burden of proof, which makes it unconstitutional. It isn't about granting rights, it's the power to deny rights.
The question should be, should government have this information in the first place?
My answer is an emphatic no!
The government doesn't need to know about a gun or anything else I have. Where is the warrant for obtaining it? I have a right to carry. It's called the Second Amendment.

I haven't had a chance to try much else yet. This is really my first foray into suiting and the like. I'm not sure if the angle my girlfriend took the pictures at led to the lower part looking odd, the vents are also closed. Does the upper part of the jacket look ok? Or what areas should I look for improvement? Sorry for such basic questions
I sincerely appreciate the help.
The front view looks fine. The opening from collar to button looks long by todays looks but I'm not certain if it's the jacket or a distortion from the camera. From the back the shoulders look wide and the blades look full. If you have the opportunity to try on jackets from other makers you will see different lines and proportions, then you can start to discern what you like.post #2283 of 611212/9/12 at 9:04amQuote:
Looking again, the back definitely has a long back balance due to your erect posture. That's what causes the bunching up of cloth on the back. Ask the tailor to adjust the front button, it doesn't line up with buttonhole, you have a low right shoulder. Jacket may be long but I am saying this from only the first picture since there isn't a full length shot.
If you wear this casually, I wouldn't worry about over fitting it or jumping in to too much work on it, but definitely shorten the sleeves.post #2284 of 611212/9/12 at 4:11pm

Hello tailors.
Looking on your thoughts on this fit - I bought this zegna suit but they did a horrible job at the time. I left it for 2 or so years in the closet and took it back to them and this time they did a better job, also adding some decent wait suppression. But this is in my opinion, what do you think?
Tried to do the best with photos but they are only adequate, sorry for that. I upped brightness & contrast a bit...
Oh and excuse the crappy shoes. Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
shorten the sleeves to the break where your wrist and hand meet. You want to see some shirt cuff.
Thanks Despos for the reply. i thought my sleaves were ok but obviously from the picture they are not!!! Trying to pose in a relaxed fashion for some reason I appear quite stooped which is not actually the case. Other than that the suit is fine I guess...post #2285 of 611212/9/12 at 6:35pmpost #2286 of 611212/9/12 at 7:25pmQuote:Thanks Despos for the reply. i thought my sleaves were ok but obviously from the picture they are not!!!

Look at other posts and notice where the sleeves end on their wrist. Yours are on your knuckle rather than where the wrist and hand join. If you like the shorter length it will make the suit look better. You may not be used to it but it will look better.post #2287 of 611212/9/12 at 7:30pmQuote:Originally Posted by terrorsquad
Hi tailors,
Would love to get feedback on this 3 piece I'm having made.
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Lengths and balance look good so you are off to a good start. Will see more on the next fitting.
After this fitting the tailors remove the cloth from the canvass to make adjustments, shape the jacket, sew the darts, make the pockets then put the cloth back on the canvass and baste another fitting . Better to analyze the next fitting. So far so good.
I'll add some of the things I would adjust from this fitting. Would shorten the jacket 1/2 to 3/4".
Raise the collar at the center back 1/2" and add 1/2" at the neck on the back shoulder. You need more length at the top of the center back to correct the diagonal lines at the blades. Adjust for low right shoulder. Take in the waist on the back part only to add some shape. The sleeves should look better than they do from the back. Would make the lapels 1/2' wider.post #2288 of 611212/9/12 at 8:46pm

Alright, so I did a little Photoshop experiment. This is the current silhouette of my latest MTM jacket, which I already posted here:
With Photoshop, I made the shoulders follow what would be my actual shoulder line, more sloped, and also widened the lapels so they are more balanced with the open quarters. I asked for such wide lapels, actually, but they made them standard size for some reason. Note I even sloped the right shoulder a bit more than the left, which is actually how I'm built:
This modification, plus higher armholes, is pretty much the silhouette I want to achieve with my MTM jackets. Obviously, lapels can't be widened on a finished garment, but is it possible to slope shoulders via alterations? I will ask for this on future attempts, but I'm wondering if I can get this jacket closer to my ideal by sloping the shoulders. My current tailor is hesitant to do it, and if it's possible I might just take it elsewhere.
And while I'm at it, anything that could be done to clean up the back on these trousers?:
Thank you.

That last picture looks like there might be a slight bit of collar gapping, but if there is, I would think it's slight enough to be ignored. There's some very slight pulling around the middle button that will (if you're like me and don't press your jackets except when you must) worsen over time as it develops into a wrinkle. Pants must be shortened, and there's some wankery going on in the seat of the pants, but I've no clue what causes it. The back is remarkably clean (maybe a little bit extra fabric, though, at the sides above the small of the back). I would go for two vents on your next suit. You might want to adjust the sleeve pitch, but it's very slight. The pants look to me to be a touch tight in the thighs, which makes the drapey bunchiness at the feet look even worse. You're wearing your shirt sleeves (and consequently your jacket sleeves, probably) a bit long. Not really a matter of fit, but I'd say that tie looks a trifle big.
Overall, though, for a first attempt from indochino... wow. Despos or atailor may disagree with everything I've said, but I'd say if you got those pants hemmed, you'd look better than 99.95% of men in the world.post #2294 of 611212/12/12 at 10:52pm

I just bought an off the rack suit because it was a decent fit, my preferred style and the black friday deal was really a deal. I normally go all bespoke but I have 2 made to measure suits. The suit fits very well except the taper is lacking. Can I get the diaphragm/midsection area tapered without taking fabric out of the back, or without slimming the chest/stomach/waist areas hardly at all. Thank you.post #2295 of 611212/12/12 at 11:27pm
This is me in a trial suit jacket from Kent Wang, before any adjustments (the photographer was tilted, my shoulders and arms are even; I selected the wrong size trousers, and I'm only getting an odd jacket made anyway):

Kent and I came to the following adjustments:
Buttoning point down 1 cm
Sleeves +.5 cm
Collar lowered 1 cm
Back chest (armpit to armpit) -1.5cm
Does that seem right based on these photos? Did Kent and I miss anything?Return HomeBack to Forum: Classic Menswear

Puerto Rico Convention Center
|Part of a series on
|Tourism in Puerto Rico
|Tourism Regions
|Cays and islets
|Convention centers
The Dr. Pedro Rosselló González, Puerto Rico Convention Center (PRCC) (or Centro de Convenciones de Puerto Rico y Dr. Pedro Rosselló González in Spanish)[1] is a convention center located in Isla Grande (recently named the Convention Center District), in San Juan, Puerto Rico owned by the Puerto Rico Convention District Authority, a government agency of Puerto Rico, and managed by SMG. Designed by tvsdesign, it is the largest convention center in the Caribbean and one of the most technologically advanced in The Americas.[2]
The Convention Center includes a 152,000-square-foot (14,100 m2) Exhibition Hall that can seat up to 16,965 persons[3] and a 39,500-square-foot (3,670 m2) ballroom that can accommodate up to 4,158 persons. All in all, approximately 25,000 persons can be accommodated within the center simultaneously and can handle conventions of organizations as large as 10,000 participants.
The Center is operated by the Puerto Rico Convention Center District Authority, which also operates the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum, also known as the "Choliseo", and the Government Reception Center in Old San Juan, as well as the 113-acre district on which the Convention Center and the atttached Sheraton hotel are located. Its current executive director is Jaime López.
The convention center is named after former Governor Pedro Rossello, who proposed and initiated the design, finance and construction of the structure.
1994 - Governor Rosselló and Puerto Rico Tourism Company Executive Director Luis Fortuño announce the development of the Golden Triangle Project to be located in the Miramar section of Santurce, the old Isla Grande naval station and the Puerta de Tierra section of San Juan.
1996 - Design of new Convention Center commences
1997 - Three-year long relocation and razing of state government facilities at old Isla Grande naval station begins
2000 - Groundbreaking ceremony held and construction begins
2001 - Puerto Rico Convention Center District Authority begins operations
2005 - Gov. Aníbal Acevedo Vilá inaugurates Convention Center
2009 - Convention Center achieves 1.5 Million Visitors in 1,500 Events
2009 - Sheraton's anchor Hotel at the Convention District initiates operations
2010 - Gov. Luis Fortuño signs law naming center after his predecessor, Gov. Rosselló
Planification and construction[edit]
The Convention Center has a signature roof imitating a wave, whose theme continues throughout the facility from the 30,000 sq/ft[citation needed] chandelier to the custom designed carpets and door pulls.
The PRCC is located in the San Juan peninsula known as the historical district of Miramar in what used to be a US Naval Base in Isla Grande. The PRCC is strategically located next to the Isla Grande Airport and the Pan American Port Terminal in order to facilitate guest travel to the Center. Other points of interest nearby are Old San Juan, the Condado district, the San Juan Central Park (Parque Central in Spanish), and Plaza Las Américas.
The PRCC District[edit]
The PRCC is part of a planned Puerto Rico Convention Center District (master planned by Sasaki Associates), including a hotel, a 96-unit residential building, office buildings with 50,000 feet (15,000 m) of commercial space, a retail and entertainment complex, a cinema, waterfront cafes, restaurants and walkways.
The main project is the anchor hotel, which began construction on August 28, 2006 and is projected to open in 2009. The hotel was designed under the idea of an "urban resort", and will feature a casino, ballrooms, a music hall, restaurants and will have 500 rooms. Its main feature will be a rooftop pool with cabanas, tropical gardens and views of Old San Juan and the harbor.
The Puerto Rican government selected Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, under its Sheraton flag, to operate the reported $209 million facility.
Facilities and Services[edit]
The convention center is able to accommodate groups of up to 25,000[citation needed] people with a total space of 580,000 square feet (54,000 m2){{cn]}} and 152,700 square feet (14,190 m2)[citation needed] of total exhibit space subdivided into three halls, all on one level. The center has adjacent parking lots with a total capacity of 1,800 vehicles,[citation needed] although this may be increased in the future.
The facility was designed and constructed to be the most technologically advanced center in Latin America. It can provide broadband and wireless Internet connectivity, video conferencing, and simultaneous language translations, among others throughout the center. All meeting rooms and ballrooms are equipped with Ethernet connection and capabilities. It also has a Business Center which assists business guests and attendees by providing computer and typewriter rental, printing, secretarial service, copying, fax transmission and receipt, package shipping, office products, and other services. A Central Security Office is located within the center, and provides 24 hour security and medical assistance, and modifies it services depending on the activities' and organizers' needs. The Center also has inhouse catering, concessions and cleaning services for any and all activities.
Awards and accolades[edit]
The Puerto Rico Convention Center won the Prime Site Award of Excellence, one of 64 sites selected from the U.S. and Canada. Voted on by meeting planners and other industry members and awarded by Facilities Media Group, publishers of Facilities & Destinations magazine, the Prime Site Award is an annual recognition of special achievement. "Winning the Prime Site Award is particularly fulfilling for the SMG and Puerto Rico Convention District Authority team because facilities must be nominated by users in order to be considered for these awards", said Thom Connors, senior regional vice president of SMG, the facility's management company. "To be selected within the first year of operations is an acknowledgment of the extraordinary effort made by the Puerto Rico Convention team to create a world-class operation during what essentially was its start-up phase."
The Puerto Rico Convention Bureau (PRCB) has received four top meeting and convention industry awards, including Meetings & Conventions' 2006 Gold Service Award, Successful Meetings' 2006 Pinnacle Award, Corporate & Incentive Travel's 2006 Award of Excellence and Association Meetings' Inner Circle Award.

Service for Troy Kelley of Irving will be April 11
Troy Kelley, 81, died March 28. Troy was born to loving parents and was raised in Marked Tree, Ark., as one of 12 children on a sharecropper's farm. In high school he earned All-State honors in football. After graduating, he joined the Navy, where he received an honorable discharge for a football injury. Then he attended Arkansas State University until drafted to serve in Korea.
In Tacoma, Wash., he met nursing student, Bonnie, who became the love of his life. In Korea, he became a Sergeant, because of his expertise in radio communications. After Korea, he began working for Ryerson Steel and married Bonnie. He was transferred to Dallas, where they put down roots in nearby Irving, and they raised their family. Following Ryerson, Troy had positions in the sales industry.
He was a member of Irving Bible Church. He served 12 years on the Irving School Board, was a member of Gideons and Fellowship of Christian Athletics. He was involved in Rotary Club, and was a board member of the Oscar Roan Ministries for 31 years. After retirement he founded Links Inc, a charity that assisted in orphanages in several countries along with other charitable works. Troy's volunteerism was huge. He loved people and never forgot his days of impoverished living. He will be remembered for his godly character, loving heart, and gift of encouragement. He leaves a legacy of faith in Jesus Christ to his family and friends.
Troy is survived by his wife of 57 years, Bonnie; son, Dane Kelley; daughter Deaun McLain and husband Kerry; grandchildren Taylor and Lauren Kelley, and Madison, Connor, and Cooper McLain; siblings James, Charles and Linda, plus numerous nieces and nephews. Selflessly, Troy has gifted his remains to Southwestern Medical School in hopes that others may he helped.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be given to the Salvation Army of Irving, 250 E. Grauwyler Road, Irving 75061, or Irving Cares at 440 South Nursery Irving, 75060.
A Celebration of Life will be at 10 a.m. April 11 at Irving Bible Church, 2435 Kinwest Parkway. At the service, the family will be wearing blue, Troy's favorite color. Please feel free to join them. Troy's admonition to all would be forget the bad, forgive all, and love more, especially God. Remember each person is God's creation and has worth, treat them with dignity and give with warm hands.

The New York Times reported last summer that the FDA had launched an investigation of Fresenius Medical Care's handling of the GranuFlo recall, after learning that the company had issued a memo in November 2011 to its own clinics that warned of the heart risks associated with GranuFlo and NaturaLyte. However, nothing was done at that time to notify thousands of dialysis centers outside the Fresenius network about the potential dangers associated with the products.***
According to court records, more than 300 GranuFlo lawsuits alleging personal injury and death due to the use of GranuFlo and NaturaLyte have been filed in a federal multidistrict underway in U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts. All of the pending claims allege that Fresenius Medical Care failed to provide adequate warnings regarding the use of the products, and assert that the company continued to aggressively market the drugs even after the company became aware of their dangers. The Court is scheduled to hold a conference in the proceeding on September 27, 2013. (In re Fresenius GranuFlo/Naturalyte Dialysate Litigation, MDL No. 2428)
Dialysis patients who suffered serious heart problems, including cardiac arrest, heart attacks, stroke, and sudden cardiac death, within 48 hours of a dialysis treatment with GranuFlo or NaturaLyte may be entitled to compensation for their injury-related damages. Learn More about the GranuFlo recall by visiting Bernstein Liebhard LLP's website. For additional information, please call 800-511-5092.

However, at weeks two, five, and eight, the XERECEPT(R) treatment group demonstrated an improved overall response rate based on the primary endpoint that was statistically significant at each time point. XERECEPT(R) demonstrated a highly statistically significant (p=0.001) improvement compared to placebo over the twelve weeks of study duration in reducing dexamethasone dose levels. Fifteen percent of patients on XERECEPT(R) were able to reach 0 mg of dexamethasone (p= 0.04) within the twelve week period.
Approximately 20 percent of the patients enrolled in NTI-0303 had metastatic brain tumors (secondary to primary tumors in the breast, lung or elsewhere). In this patient population, the primary and all secondary endpoints achieved a statistically significant advantage for XERECEPT(R) treated patients, exceeding the results observed in the overall patient cohort. This is an important finding given the 360,000 patients diagnosed annually with metastatic brain tumors in North America and Europe; moreover, patient prognosis is very poor and the treatment options are very limited.
In addition, the NTI-0303 trial showed that use of XERECEPT(R) leads to statistically significant reductions in steroid-related adverse events of myopathy (muscle weakness) and Cushingoid syndrome. Specifically, patients demonstrated a statistically significant increase in Ileopsoas muscle strength. These findings show a medically important clinical benefit for patients on XERECEPT(R).

I cannot recall how the Standard Model supposedly accounts for that "breaking point" except by making some far-reaching assumptions about the nature of dark energy. I have an impression, however, that those assumptions would be rendered irrelevant by the existence of dark matter, the abundance of which should have counteracted that "breaking point" if it existed at the time.

Adam Blackstone, founder of BASSic Black Entertainment (BBE) and musical director for Justin Timberlake, Rihanna and more, and Darrell Robinson, musical director for Pharrell, K Michelle and Kontraband215, teamed up once again on their signature PhillyMade event.
The kick-off party to Made in America weekend took place at Recess Lounge in Old City, and it was a packed house. Some highlights icluded DJs Hollywood, Dilemma and Aye Boogie who had the party going all night long on the ones and twos.

With sounds by Wired 96.5, a performance by Kriss Mincey, a live interview by Sincerely Syreeta, visual and digital art by artists like Peopledelphia, this event is a must-hit for Saturday night. This is the final night of her Unleash the Beast series, so make sure you grab your tickets!
Jay Z's now signature music festival Budweiser Made in America (MIA) returned to Philadelphia for a third year, and once again, MIA brought a dope two-day experience for festival attendees over Labor Day weekend.
The festival expanded this year for the first time with bi-coastal events taking place simultaneously in both Philly and in Los Angeles. Both events were packed with talent, although we were partial to the Philly side of things — especially since all of the performances had the city's art museum steps or the Philly skyline as the backdrops for the sets. Philadelphia also brought some only-in-Philly flavor to the festival, including some foodie must-hits within the festival, including Iron Chef Jose Garces' Distrito serving up some bites.
Festivalgoers in Philly and LA could also virtually connect from coast to coast via a screen that streamed what was happening at each festival location. (We peeped that Philly hip-hop artist Chill Moody got into a major rock, paper, scissors virtual battle with another concertgoer on the west coast.)
While we could see what was happening in LA, one thing was very clear — Philly definitely showed up for MIA on the east coast. From pre-MIA events happening leading up to the festival, to Philly talent touching the MIA stages.
DJ Aktive's Made in Philly event | Thursday, August 28
First up in the MIA activities was DJ Aktive's event. Aktive took a break from touring with Jennifer Hudson, Common and J. Cole to be in his hometown during MIA. Aktive hosted an event the Thursday night before MIA which was packed with an all-Philly lineup of talent. The event featured talent like DJ Sat-One, Asia Sparks, Aaron Camper, GoGo Morrow and more.
DJ Aktive also took over the Philly 360 Instagram Thursday through Sunday capturing every moment of the pre-parties and festival.
Adam Blackstone and Darrell Robinson's PhillyMade event | Friday, August 29
The following night, sought after musical directors and musicians Adam Blackstone and Darrell Robinson (aka Lil Darrell) were in town to perform during Pharrell's MIA set — so the duo teamed up to throw a pre-MIA event in their hometown that was packed and stacked with some of Philly's finest. Not to mention, performances by Chill Moody, Aaron Camper and others kept the PhillyMade theme going. And, Common brought the entire house down when he hopped on the mic and took over the party. (Look out for full recaps of both pre-MIA events from us.)
Made in America Festival: Day 1 | Saturday, August 30
The wait was finally over, and the doors were open! MIA officially kicked off in Philly with perfect end of summer weather, and The Parkway filled in with music lovers dressed in their best festival wear, mostly American flag inspired looks. This year, some of our highlights included a packed performance by Philly's own Moosh & Twist, Chromeo's energetic set, J. Cole dropping some of his hits and inspiring some poignant moments through a socially conscious song, Steve Aoki showering the crowd with champagne and headliner Kanye West's show-stopping performance which moved back and forth between his massive list of hits and thought-provoking monologues.
Insider fact: Did you know that DJ Aktive was Yeezy's tour DJ? Aktive continued to take over our Instagram and brought some backstage exclusives, including Ye's trailer backstage and photos from his viewing area with Mrs. West aka Kim Kardashian. Check out our Instagram for all of the pics.
Made in America Festival: Day 2 | Saturday, August 30
On Day 2, even rain and a momentary thunderstorm evacuation couldn't stop the party from happening. The festival hit the pause button for about an hour and kicked back up in full gear like it never skipped a beat after festivalgoers were able to come back into the event. Some of our top moments included Spoon kicking off the restart of the festival once the gates were reopened. Pharrell gave us a lot of moments onstage, including his speech on female empowerment — and we spotted Philly musicians/musical directors Adam Blackstone and Lil Darrell rocking out with him onstage. And, Tiesto also kicked the festival up to another level with his high-energy set.
We're still in recovery mode from this epic non-stop party that took over Philly. We touched on a few moments, but take a look through our visual gallery to see everything that went down during Made in America in Philadelphia.
Also stay tuned for our official recap videos for Made In Philly and PhillyMade.
Attention Philly! Got talent? Then this one's for you.
We've heard for years (and years and years) that there's "something special" in Philly's water that helps our city produce its steady stream of singers, musicians, producers and DJs. The talent that has come out of our area includes some of the top names in the music industry. In fact, there isn't a major music tour out right now that doesn't include a Philly-based musician, artist, DJ, manager or musical director.
So, who will be the next big name to come out of Philly? Looks like we'll find out soon.
This week, The City of Philadelphia announced that it is looking for the city's next "it" artist — and they've pulled together a stellar list of industry experts to help this act take the national stage by storm. During an official press conference, The City kicked off its city-wide music competition PHL Live, which launches on August 15 with a six week contest entry window.
PHL Live is headed by Councilman At Large David Oh, along with a group of Philly music advisors and judges, including Chill Moody, Carvin Haggins, Ivan Barias, GoGo Morrow, Carol Riddick, Aaron Camper and more.
The submission period begins on August 15 and will run through September 30. You must be 18+ to compete, and it is completely free to enter. The competition will highlight ten genres — hip-hop, R&B, pop, DJ, jazz, world, gospel, rock, country/folk and classical.
Go to the PHL Live website and upload a video clip that's three to five minutes long of you performing an original song, self-selecting which genre you wish to compete in. A panel of experts will judge and rate submissions according to creativity/originality; performance and crowd interaction; and technical competence.
When the submission window closes, the judges will select up to five semi-finalists from each genre who will move on to the second round. Then, from October through November, the selected acts from each genre will perform at venues across the city, including Underground Arts, Silk City, Relish, Time, World Cafe Live, MilkBoy and Hard Rock Cafe. Click here for the full schedule of semi-final performances.
The 10 winning artists from each genre will then perform at the final showcase in December at The Trocadero Theater. Top prize includes cash, studio time and more!
So Philly, show 'em what you got. Good luck!
Philly 360° loves to hook you up with contests for tickets to some of the hottest shows going down in Philadelphia — and we've got another one for you! That's right. We're hooking a few lucky fans up with tickets to see R&B songstress Keyshia Cole. #holla
The "She" singer is gearing up for her next album release and will be stopping through Philly for her Point of No Return tour, named after her upcoming project.
Cole's music has always been layered with Philly ties, including some bangers from Philly's own multiplatinum selling, GRAMMY-nominated producers - Carvin & Ivan. And we're sure she'll be resurfacing some of her Philly-infused songs during her upcoming Philly show.

Sarah Ferguson Has "Total Empathy" for Kate Middleton After Topless Photo Scandal
The Duchess of York and the Duchess of Cambridge have more than one thing in common.
After topless photos of Kate Middleton were published in French magazine Closer last week, Sarah Ferguson says she knows exactly how Prince William's wife is feeling -- she too had a topless photo scandal.
"I have total empathy and sympathy for her. I have been there and know what it's like," she said Sunday via Daily Mail. "Everyone is entitled to privacy. It is a devastating invasion of one's personal inner space. It is deplorable, abhorrent and despicable."
PHOTOS: William and Kate's first year of marriage
After announcing her separation from Prince Andrew on March 19, 1992, the British tabloid Daily Mirror published photos of Fergie sunbathing topless with John Bryan, an American financial manager, in August 1992. The Duke and Duchess announced their decision to divorce in May 1996.
"She is a beautiful young woman doing a great job for the country," Fergie added about Middleton. "Why should she be stripped of that moment with her husband?"
PHOTOS: All the pics from their Asian tour
Despite the photo scandal, Middleton and Prince William, both 30, have continued their Diamond Jubilee Tour of Southeast Asia with smiles on their faces. But their legal teams back home are finalizing plans to file a criminal complaint over the pics appearing in Closer and other publications.
"We can confirm that a criminal complaint has been made to the French Prosecution Department today," a Clarence House rep said on Monday. "The complaint concerns the taking of photographs of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge whilst on holiday and the publication of those photographs in breach of their privacy."

Terre d'Hermès by Hermès
The correct pronunciation is case anyone was wondering is either (tare-dimay) or (tare-dimez). Over many years I have tried virtually every cologne starting with Old Spice, English Leather, and even the very cheap Jade East. The sense of smell has always been my favorite of the five senses so my attraction for fragrances began early as a teenager.

What happens when a Rhino meets a wall? Simulation in Maya using AMD FirePro and Bullet Physics
This article on 3DTotal describes how the OpenCL Bullet Physics plug-in for Maya, MayaBullet, has exploded the potential for game developers and visual effects teams to design more realistic dynamic and kinematic simulations.
From the article:
Using rigid-body, soft-body and collision-detection libraries, the MayaBullet Physics plug-in allows you to create small to large-scale realistic simulations for films, games and visualisations. Taking advantage of OpenCL, the MayaBullet plug-in allows you to very quickly create, view and edit simulations in pretty much real-time (depending the scene complexity of course) right inside the Maya viewport.
The AMD FirePro does not simply enhance the Bullet experience, but also allows you to push Maya further in certain ways.
1) It allows you to deal with heavier scene files, heavier models and more complex rigs. Therefore the animator can work with a model at a resolution that allows him to get a clearer idea of how the mesh will deform at render time.
2) By utilizing Viewport 2.0 and the DirectX 11 shader, you can truly get a better representation of your mesh with displacement maps, normal maps applied and more - all in the Maya viewport.
3) By taking advantage of the Alembic GPU Cache, you can bring a huge number of polygons (and by huge, we mean into the millions) into a scene and it still handles like a trooper.

If you attended one of the events in person, you got your hands on one of the Resource DVD sets. We had so many moving parts involved in a tight timeframe that one or two little things slipped by and have been brought to our attention. Since the Resource DVD kit was "my baby" to ensure it got done – I'll have the updates posted here. Here's what I know so far after talking to you via email and comments on this blog.
for #1 – I have an easy solution for you. What happened? …the instructions required to register to get a key didn't get printed on the envelope. Here they are:
We're sorry for not having them on the sleeves in the first place – sorry about that.
for #2 – yup – it is large – it's a VHD that has Office 2007 running on Windows Vista. It will require as much RAM as you can put towards the virtual guest – I set it up with 768, but it can always take more. Realistically speaking to use this VHD – you should be running a host box that has at least 1.5 GB of ram.
As for the activation issue… The image was created long enough ago that it now forces activation on the first logon. It claims that it can not be activated, no mater what method you choose to use. I am finalising my documentation of the steps to be able to make this image "activatable" and will hopefully have an updated posted here on the blog soon. Hang in there!
Did I miss anything? Let me know!
This is great, thank you so much, I was wondering where the longhorn product key was, now it's all clear.
Because people still contact me on this blog, I thought I would put up a quick post regarding the PID...
Any progress toward the unlocking of the activation issue?
Any word on the Vista activation issue?
Enjoyed the session. Very informative and a great way to augment the information we have been receiving on Vista and Office 2007 with actual product demos!
MPECS Inc.
Dude, it's almost the end of July...wazzup with the missing story?
Hey Kevin,
If you are talking about the key for longhorn server - it is in the post on how you sign up and get your key. If you are talking about not getting a resource DVD set - contact me and I can ship one out to you...
If you are talking about the activation of the Vista VHD - I have been off and had other commitments that have kept me from testing out a solution. I hope to have something up later today to validate a theory I have as to why it has expired and how to activate it.
Jeśli otrzymałeś kopie DVD wraz z Longhorn Serverem a nie było z nią klucza nic nie jest stracone. Klucz...
Rick, Just waiting for that third piece to the puzzle, the activation of the image. Hope you had a great vacation. Thanks

Re: Buy Mac os X tiger in response to Rferonm
Please help us out and tell us where you are so we can tell you where to look. It is questions like this that are the reason Apple wisely elected to give us a "Geographic Location" field in our profiles.
I can give you a word of caution: Older Mac OS version like 10.4 and 10.4 are in high demand, so have unfortunately attracted criminal opportunists. The are NO legal or safe downloads of Mac System Install packages for OS10.5 and 10.5. All are illegal; many contain malware or just don't work.
You must also avoid gray-colored system restore disks--they are intended for only one model Mac and may not have the software components your hardware requires.
A legitimate Tiger retail install disk is black with a big silver/gray "X" on it. It WILL NOT say "Update." Also be aware that most Tiger install packages come on DVDs and some earlier eMacs did not ship with DVD-capable drives.
A last and sad note: because of demand, legit Mac OS install disks today will likely cost more than a used eMac is worth.

Re: Buy Mac os X tiger in response to Allan Jones
Hi Allan Jones,
Thank you very much for your reply.
Do you know if the apple help desk purpose buy a master cd/dvd for my emac ?
Is it a multilanguage version of mac os X.4 if i think boy this product in a usa site ?
Of advance, thank you very much,

Re: Buy Mac os X tiger in response to Rferonm
Tiger Requirements...
To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
* A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
* Built-in FireWire
* At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
* DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
* At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools (I recommend 20GB minimum)
See Tom's, (Texas Mac Man), great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...
Or Ali Brown's great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
* 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
* DVD drive for installation
* 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...
There are workarounds if the 867MHz CPU is the only hangup...

Re: Buy Mac os X tiger in response to Allan Jones
Thanks for such useful advice. I am also on the lookout for a retail DVD of Mac OSX10.4 Tiger for my gently used G4 PowerMac laptop (which I bought for $65).
I'm trying eBay for now.
a brody Sep 17, 2013 11:35 AM
Re: Buy Mac os X tiger in response to Rferonm
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2541 should help you locate what you are looking for on 10.4 in terms of what the disk looks like, and possible software.
The 700 Mhz eMac can't run 10.5 or later without some serious alternations with a third party software called LeopardAssist. And even then it may not support everything supported by 10.5 on PowerPCs, and certainly nothing that is Intel only. It also does not have a system specific disk that will work with it that is as new as 10.4. The last 700 Mhz eMac shipped May 6, 2003, when 10.2.6 was just released. However there were no 10.2 retail discs that would run on it, only the 10.2 eMac.Some eMacs older than August 1, 2002 came also with a Mac OS 9.2.2 eMac installer, but no retail 9.2.1 would install on it. After that point only the restore eMac installer discs could install Mac OS 9 on the eMac with their restore installer programs.

Far East Broadcasting Company
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2015)
|International radio network
|Mainly in the Philippines, with service to Asia, Africa, and the Middle East
First air date
|June 4, 1948
Daily Broadcasts
|650+ hours
Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC) is an international radio network that airs Christian programs in 149 languages. Broadcasts are aired from shortwave, mediumwave (AM), and FM transmitters located throughout the world.
The organization also works to meet the physical needs of its listeners by providing scholarships, holding marriage seminars, and distributing items such as seedlings (helping a family grow their own food) and bicycles (transportation for students or pastors).
Although many listeners live in very remote locations, FEBC receives more than 850,000 listener responses in the form of visits to the station, letters, text messages, phone calls and emails.
FEBC's mission is to develop radio programming and deliver it to listeners in such a way that they move toward Jesus Christ and into His Kingdom, that they know Him as Saviour, Lord, and King, follow His teaching, and live in obedience to Him as His servants, and as members of a local body of believers.[1]
FEBC's history dates back to the close of World War II, when soldiers were returning from the conflict in the Pacific, newly aware of the spiritual needs of Asia.[2]
John Broger and Bob Bowman were among those who felt called by God to set up a radio ministry in Asia even before the war. They envisioned a ministry that would bring the Gospel to millions of people in Asia. One country especially was in their hearts: China.
Incorporated in 1945, FEBC's very first broadcast was aired from a station in Shanghai. But this was short-lived. By early 1948 all mission work in China was winding down and an alternative site was sought.
John Broger searched Asia for a likely place to relocate FEBC's radio ministry and decided on the Philippines. Ideally located in the South China Sea, the Philippines had much to offer.
The Philippines at that time was newly independent from the USA and was more than willing for FEBC to establish its operations there. The first broadcast went on air in Manila on June 4, 1948 over local station KZAS (now known as DZAS).
International broadcasts to China started the following year and have since expanded to cover most of Southeast Asia, as well as Russia. FEBC's sister company, Feba Radio, broadcast programs in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
FEBC currently operates a total of 41 AM and FM stations worldwide and also broadcast international programs in 149 languages via short wave radio from two major transmitter sites, several locations in the Philippines, and one in Saipan (15°16′12″N 145°47′52″E / 15.2701°N 145.7979°E).

Stanford University's Precourt Institute for Energy (PIE), TomKat Center for Sustainable Energy and Precourt Energy Efficiency Center (PEEC) have awarded nine faculty seed grants totaling $2.2 million for promising new research in clean technology and energy efficiency.
Seed funding supports early work on concepts that have the potential for very high impact on energy production and use. A committee of Stanford faculty and senior staff awarded the grants to researchers from a broad range of disciplines, including engineering, economics and psychology.
"We received 30 proposals from across the campus," said PIE Director Lynn Orr, a professor of energy resources engineering and member of the selection committee. "We looked for projects where the investigators had moved into new areas of energy research for which the potential payoffs justified taking the risk associated with early-stage proposals. After a lively debate, we chose nine projects with the strongest potential for impacting the supply or use of energy."
Precourt Institute grants
The Precourt Institute for Energy, the umbrella organization for energy research and education at Stanford, will fund the following four studies:
Nanostructured Polymers for High-Performance Batteries: This project explores the use of specially designed nanostructured polymers to make high-energy, low-cost, flexible and stretchable batteries. The goal is to produce stable, high-capacity lithium-ion batteries and eventually develop novel all-polymer batteries at scale. Principal Investigator (PI): Zhenan Bao, chemical engineering. Co-PI: Yi Cui, materials science and engineering (Stanford)/photon science (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory).
Ultrathin Light Absorbers for Solar Cells: One way to lower the cost of solar power is to dramatically reduce the thickness of light-absorbing layers in solar cells. The goal of this project is to develop novel, light-trapping na
