Just a crazy thought... about forming a football club in india.. "for the people by the people".. if 10000 football lovers around india pooled in 200 a month.. for 2 years.. i think we could make a great club... and i am very sure..this 10000 would multiply 10 times over the years..
we could have..
10000*12*200 = 24000000 (24 crores) in football.. crazy ain't .. i am sure if there is money in football.. the media will go all crazy over the sport... .. new talent will be unearthed.. and India will surely go up the rankings ...
What say my country men...

The Puppy Screen saver
I had been looking for this screensaver for quite a while now. Here is the link for it for those still looking for it.
Link --> Puppy Screen Saver
If you get "Could not find the file flash.ocx" file error after installation of this screensaver, do the following.
Some third party screen savers are designed to make use of the flash player software when running.
A third-party screen saver is something that has been installed and is very different than the built in screen saver that is part of Windows.
These screen savers are hard coded to reference the file flash.ocx and recent version of Macromedia's (Adobe) Flash application now name the same file flash9.ocx or even flash9c.ocx.
Which results in the error "Could not find the file flash.ocx"
It is a pretty straight forward fix, and will allow you to continue using your screensaver as normal
You will need to find the flash9.ocx file and copy it as the file flash.ocx. (or download the attached flash.ocx)
To do this:
1. Browse to the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder.
2. Locate the "flash9.ocx" or "Flash9b.ocx" file and right click it and select copy.
3. Right click in a blank spot of the same folder and select paste.
4. You will then find you have a file called "Copy of Flash9.ocx" or "Copy of Flash9b.ocx" in the folder.
5. Right click the new file and select rename and rename to flash.ocx
Once complete you should notice your screensaver functioning again and the error long gone.

The secrets of the Parthenon
Taken from
http://www.scottberkun.com/blog/2008/the-secrets-of-the-parthenon/
I watched a great episode of PBS’s Nova the other night about the design of the Parthenon. Heard lots of surprises of interest to designers and creators. It’s another example of how many innovations from history we take for granted without even understanding what they are.
What’s also amazing is how many different uses the building has had over 2500 years. It was a temple for Athena, a Christian church, a mosque, and an ammunition depot. It was bombed in several different wars, was stripped of marble and artwork by both the Turks and the British, and was seriously damaged by the first attempts to restore it in the 1890s.
1. They cheated on symmetry. Their understanding of aesthetics was so good they realized at the scale of the building several non-symetrical elements had to be added to make it look symmetrical. The middle section of the ground level is curved, and is six inches higher than the sides. Also the columns are tapered and few elements actually use the golden ratio.
2. We can’t replicate their quality of work. A $100 million renovation project is underway to repair 2000 years of damage, but they’re struggling to replicate the precision of craftsmanship. What took the Greeks ~9 years to build has already taken more than 30 years to repair, and is not finished yet. Without a computer or electric power, the Greeks had many clever innovations that were lost and are being rediscovered.

Life is short
A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?"
Answers came in thick and fast.. 20 grams.. 500g....
The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it."
"If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. "In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."
He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."
"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."
"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Relax; pick them up later, after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it!"
