Determination
DETERMINATON
In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea. It just could not be done. It was not practical. It had never been done before.
Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. He thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built.
Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could be overcome. With great excitement and inspiration, and the headiness of a wild challenge before them, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or even move.
"We told them so.""Crazy men and their crazy dreams.""It`s foolish to chase wild visions."
Everyone had a negative comment to make and felt that the project should be scrapped since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge could be built. In spite of his handicap Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.
He tried to inspire and pass on his enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay on his bed in his hospital room, with the sunlight streaming through the windows, a gentle breeze blew the flimsy white curtains apart and he was able to see the sky and the tops of the trees outside for just a moment.
It seemed that there was a message for him not to give up. Suddenly an idea hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this, he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife.
He touched his wife's arm with that finger, indicating to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish but the project was under way again.
For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute to the triumph of one man's indomitable spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances. It is also a tribute to the engineers and their team work, and to their faith in a man who was considered mad by half the world. It stands too as a tangible monument to the love and devotion of his wife who for 13 long years patiently decoded the messages of her husband and told the engineers what to do.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die attitude that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and achieves an impossible goal.
Often when we face obstacles in our day-to-day life, our hurdles seem very small in comparison to what many others have to face. The Brooklyn Bridge shows us that dreams that seem impossible can be realised with determination and persistence, no matter what the odds are.
Even the most distant dream can be realized with determination and persistence.

Importance of Drinking Water
Importance of Drinking Enough Water
- 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it isoften mistaken for hunger.
- Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
- One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a U-Washington study.
- Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
- Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
- A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen.
- Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
Can u Believe this Facts
Try these out:-
- No piece of paper can be folded more than 7 times.
- The cigarette lighter was invented before the match.
- The average chocolate bar has 8 insect legs in it.
- The most fatal car accidents occur on Saturday.
- The average person can live 11 days without water.
Lincoln and Kennedy
Here's a little part of US history which makes you go h-m-m-m:
Have a history teacher explain this if they can?
Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both Presidents were shot in the head.
Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.
Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners.
Both successors were named Johnson.
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908. John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born! !
in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.
Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Kennedy.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln.'
Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse.
Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.
And here's the kicker... A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland. A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

=> She tried to write books and The book was handed to twelve publishing houses, all of which rejected it
=> The decision to take Her book on was apparently largely due to Alice Newton, the eight- year-old daughter of the company’s chairman, who was given the first chapter to review by her father, and immediately demanded the next
=> After being thrown many times, her books at last won the most best books of the world

Writer of FAMOUS HARRY POTTER
Joanne “Jo” Rowling, OBE (born July 31, 1965[1]) is an English fiction writer who writes under the pen name J. K. Rowling.Rowling is most famously known as the author of the Harry Potter fantasy series, which has gained international attention, won multiple awards, and sold over 300 million copies worldwide.In February 2004, Forbes magazine estimated her fortune at £576 million (just over US$1 billion), making her the first person to become a US-dollar billionaire by writing books.
In December 1999, the third Harry Potter novel, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, won the Smarties Prize, making Rowling the first person to win the award three times running.She later withdrew the fourth Harry Potter novel from contention to allow other books a fair chance. In January 2000, Prisoner of Azkaban won the inaugural Whitbread Children’s Book of the Year award, though it narrowly lost the Book of the Year prize to Seamus Heaney’s translation of Beowulf.That June, the Queen honoured Rowling by making her an Officer of the Order of the British Empire.
To date, six of the seven volumes of the Harry Potter series, one for each of Harry’s school years, have already been published and all have broken sales records. The last three volumes in the series have been the fastest-selling books in history, grossing more in their opening 24-hours than blockbuster films. Book six of her series earned The Guinness World Records Award for being the fastest selling book ever. The sixth book of the series sold more copies in 24-hours than The Da Vinci Code sold in a year. (The Da Vinci Code was the best-selling book of the previous year.)
Rowling is currently writing the seventh and final book of the series. Its title is currently unknown. On June 26, 2006, Rowling revealed that in the final book of the Harry Potter series at least two characters will die, one of whom may be Harry himself.Author Stephen King asked Rowling not to kill off Harry in book seven during a press conference, but Rowling remained ambiguous regarding Harry’s fate.

VISUAL STUDIO 2006 CTP
----------------------------------------
Download Visual Studio 2006 CTP
=========================
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=82243606-d16d-445c-8949-9ee8c10cda2e&DisplayLang=en
Visual Studio Code Name "Orcas" delivers on Microsoft’s vision of smart client applications by enabling developers to rapidly create connected applications that deliver the highest quality rich user experiences. This new version enables any size organization to rapidly create more secure, manageable, and more reliable applications that take advantage of Windows Vista and the 2007 Office System. By building these new types of applications, organizations will find it easier than ever before to capture and analyze information so that they can make effective business decisions. This download is the September 2006 Community Technology Preview of Microsoft Visual Studio Code-Named “Orcas”. Note: This CTP is available only as a Virtual PC image. You will need Virtual PC or Virtual Server to run this image. Depending on your hardware the download files make take between 30-60 minutes to decompress.This CTP targets early adopters of the Microsoft technology, platform, and tools offerings. It enables developers to experience the upcoming toolset and underlying platform improvements. We designed this release to enable developers try out new technology and product changes, but not to build production systems. This limitation is fully covered in the EULA that accompanies this CTP.
The highlights of this CTP include:
Improvements on the widely acclaimed Visual Studio 2005 product set
Significant investments in improving product quality
LINQ to Objects API
LINQ to Objects API supports queries over any .NET collection, such as arrays and Generic Lists.
This API is defined in the System.Query namespaces inside System.Core.dll.
Partial C# 3.0 Language Support: This CTP implements some of the new language features of C# 3.0
Local variable type interface
Lambda expressions
Object initializers
Partial C# 3.0 IDE Support: In addition to the C# 3.0 language features there is partial IDE support
Colorization and New Keywords in Completion List
Edit and Continue Rude Edit Detection
Partial VB 9.0 Language support (Due to differences in feature delivery schedules VB implementations of the above C# features will appear in a future CTP)
Local variable type inference and Option Infer switch
VSTS Improvements in load & unit testing such as unit test for devices
Device development improvements
VSTS integration
Access and modify device security configuration from the IDE
Enables developers to build and debug a Windows Vista Application
Enables Visual Studio Tools for Office developers to build document-level customizations for Word and Excel 2007
Enables eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 developers to use Visual Studio Code Name “Orcas” to build their existing applications
NET Framework improvements such as:
New managed add-in model enables developers to add a version-resilient extensibility model to their products.
Support for time zone conversion, enumeration and serialization, including cases where Daylight Saving Time rules change over time.
Reflection in Partial Trust, enabling sand box scenarios for all applications that depend on these features.
The ability to control the garbage collector’s latency mode
Improved CLR ThreadPool micro-performance and throughput for worker and IO completionExisting CTPs: As Visual Studio Code Name “Orcas” CTPs are released on a predefined cadence existing CTPs may not yet have been integrated into a given “Orcas” CTP release (for example, this CTP does not include the functionality of the Language Integrated Query CTP). This should not be taken as a change in commitment to any existing technology that has been made available as a CTP but instead is just a real world example of how large applications, with many technology areas, are built. We will be integrating this existing functionality into future CTP builds. Before you install: This CTP is released as a Virtual PC Image. By using a VPC image, developers can run the CTP on a machine without impacting any existing software installations. The CTP can be removed by deleting the folder and using the Virtual PC application to remove the configuration information.This image ships with networking set to “local”. This setting enables the virtual machine to think it is connected to a network without actually connecting and exposing the machine to the Internet. We recommend that customers do not modify the networking settings. Customers who wish to turn networking “on” to connected the image to a physical network are advised that they will need to ensure the security of the virtual machine as well as apply any security updates that may have become available since the release of this image.This CTP image requires the use of Microsoft virtualization products, either Virtual PC 2004 SP1 or Virtual Server 2005 R2. Both these products are freely available from the Microsoft website. This CTP is available in English only.
System Requirements:
Supported Operating Systems: Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1; Windows XP Service Pack 2
Processor: 1.6GHz Pentium III+
RAM: 1 GB of available physical RAM** The amount of physical RAM depends on what applications are running on the client machine. You can use the Task Manager to identify how much physical RAM is available on your machine. Running applications other than VirtualPC will consume available physical RAM.
VPC Credentials: Username: Administrator Password: P@ssw0rd (NOTE: Microsoft strongly recommends that immediately after installation you log in and change the administrator password)

Access and modify device security configuration from the IDE
Enables developers to build and debug a Windows Vista Application
Enables Visual Studio Tools for Office developers to build document-level customizations for Word and Excel 2007
Enables eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 developers to use Visual Studio Code Name “Orcas” to build their existing applications
NET Framework improvements such as:
New managed add-in model enables developers to add a version-resilient extensibility model to their products.
Support for time zone conversion, enumeration and serialization, including cases where Daylight Saving Time rules change over time.
Reflection in Partial Trust, enabling sand box scenarios for all applications that depend on these features.
The ability to control the garbage collector’s latency mode
Improved CLR ThreadPool micro-performance and throughput for worker and IO completionExisting CTPs: As Visual Studio Code Name “Orcas” CTPs are released on a predefined cadence existing CTPs may not yet have been integrated into a given “Orcas” CTP release (for example, this CTP does not include the functionality of the Language Integrated Query CTP). This should not be taken as a change in commitment to any existing technology that has been made available as a CTP but instead is just a real world example of how large applications, with many technology areas, are built. We will be integrating this existing functionality into future CTP builds. Before you install: This CTP is released as a Virtual PC Image. By using a VPC image, developers can run the CTP on a machine without impacting any existing software installations. The CTP can be removed by deleting the folder and using the Virtual PC application to remove the configuration information.This image ships with networking set to “local”. This setting enables the virtual machine to think it is connected to a network without actually connecting and exposing the machine to the Internet. We recommend that customers do not modify the networking settings. Customers who wish to turn networking “on” to connected the image to a physical network are advised that they will need to ensure the security of the virtual machine as well as apply any security updates that may have become available since the release of this image.This CTP image requires the use of Microsoft virtualization products, either Virtual PC 2004 SP1 or Virtual Server 2005 R2. Both these products are freely available from the Microsoft website. This CTP is available in English only.
System Requirements:
Supported Operating Systems: Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1; Windows XP Service Pack 2
Processor: 1.6GHz Pentium III+
RAM: 1 GB of available physical RAM** The amount of physical RAM depends on what applications are running on the client machine. You can use the Task Manager to identify how much physical RAM is available on your machine. Running applications other than VirtualPC will consume available physical RAM.
VPC Credentials: Username: Administrator Password: P@ssw0rd (NOTE: Microsoft strongly recommends that immediately after installation you log in and change the administrator password)

How is Research Papers Search in Windows Live ?
I recently Used Windows Live Search to search research Papers
* Windows Live Search doesn't have 1,2,3 pages so you dont have to click next and previous to travel through the pages
* Windows Live Search is so user friendly displays the content of the papers in just three levels
a) only title
b) title with some description
c) title with more description
* Windows Live Search uses mouse hover, just move your mouse over the research paper to see its content in the right hand side
* Windows Live Search Academic is real awesome search for Research Papers replacing the google scholar search :-)
