An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden because your mother always loved planting time. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren’t in prison.

Love,
Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram: ‘For Heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig up the garden!! That’s where I buried the GUNS!!’

At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.

Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what had happened, and asked him what to do next.

His son’s reply was: ‘Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It’s the best I could do for you, from here.’

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART, YOU CAN DO IT. IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS, NOT WHERE YOU ARE OR WHERE THE PERSON IS.

Java script function for Delay in milliseconds

2012-05-29T15:01:00.001+05:30

Code:
<html>

// Delay for a number of milliseconds

//Function to delay the execution, this is not as the setTimeout() which will continue

//the execution of next statement without waiting to return the funciotn call

function delay(delayTime) {

var start = new Date().getTime();// set the start time for counting

while (new Date().getTime() < start + delayTime); //looping till the expected delay time matches..

Do's And Dont's from Guru Tanvi !.....

2011-09-23T00:53:00.001+05:30

Well, according to Tanvi there are two concepts
Concept 1
1. See with your eyes
2. Listen what all are talking, store it ( may be in use some other time)
But don't open you mouth to speak

Concept 2
1. Listen to all and don't let it go from any where.
i.e : out N/A ||_: <= in

Which one you follow that's up to you..

Never eat what ever you want it may harm your health and glamour.

Note: All greens things are not vegetables/ eatables.

Thank you for following Tanvi's Tips.

How to learn Walking from Tanvi !....

2011-09-22T13:30:00.000+05:30

Hi friends this is Tanvi, and in this article I am going to teach How to Walk.

All parents help there kids to learn walking. But how a kid himself can start walking without any support of the parents.

Let us C

First of all you need to look for any wall or chair or sofa which is near and which a kid can catch and hold.

this will help to stand up and standing is the first step to walk.

now try to move your legs to and fro for making yourself balance.

once you fell that it is OK then try to turn around with support of wall or any which is nearer.

Let the hands be free and be confidence, that says you are done..

Slowly put you leg a step, do not fear. you will learn very fast..
Note: This for parents- Let the kids learn them selves it helps to grow fast.

Here the best practice is to reach refrigerator, you find plenty of things in that.
Eg : Milk, chocolates, cakes, nuts etc. kids love to have them so they frequently visit this place.

That's all for now.

I think this article will help kids and parents to learn.

Wait for the next post. Tanvi....

How to drink water yourself from Tanvi !...

2011-09-22T10:30:00.000+05:30

Hello every one and this is Tanvi, in this post I am going to teach you how to drink water from a can.

Note: This is advanced course and kids bellow 1.6 years are strictly avoided.

If you are above 1.6 then you can follow.

Open the water can cap /led.

If it is not possible by you then take assistance from your friends or seniors, here she is katyayani (caty)

Now try to take the water from the water can using glass, but in this case glass will not workout.

so, I try using my small hand and get the water into my palm.

Please do follow what ever I am doing, should not miss out any step or else you may not achieve the objective.

ok, now you can see how i am inserting my hand into the can.

here it goes,

I think this may not work out for us, so we have to go for plan B
Plan B is, put your mouth into the can and the water will come up.

ya, at last I had my water, it is great that without my parents support i am able to drink the water.

That was my class for you all friends. enjoy drinking water. It is good for health My uncle says.

Thanks for reading this and i hope you learnt some thing from this article.

INSTALLING HUSBAND!!!

2010-07-29T17:33:00.001+05:30

A woman writes to the IT Technical support.....

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and I noticed a distinct slowdown in the overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0 .

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NEWS 5.0, MONEY 3.0 and CRICKET 4.1 . Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2. 6 simply crashes the system.

Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?
Signed,

_____ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _______

REPLY

DEAR Madam,

First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme. Html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.

If that application works as designed, Husband1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5..

However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Silence 2.5 or Beer 6.1 .

Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0 .

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.

You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance.

We recommend: Cooking 3.0 and Good Looks 7.7.

Good Luck Madam!

Thanks & Regards

Sachin Tendulkar slams fifth Test double hundred

2010-07-29T15:42:00.000+05:30

Milestone man Sachin Tendulkar re-wrote the record books on Thursday, hammering the fifth double Test century to add another feather to his well-adorned cap.

As the crowd erupted with unbridled joy, Tendulkar, tired but composed, took off his helmet, looked skyward, closed his eyes to offer a silent prayer.

His captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni came down from the striker's end to shake hands and hug him.

The greatest accumulator of runs in the history of cricket, Tendulkar possesses nearly all major batting record even though he insisted he never chased milestones.

Over the past 12 months, though, Sachin has once again opened up a yawning gap between himself and all his contemporaries, and ensured that if at all any comparisons have to be made, they should be with another Australian - Don Bradman, who was famously reminded of himself when watching Sachin bat.

Earlier on Thursday, India, replying to Sri Lanka's mammoth 642/4 declared, carried their overnight total of 382/4 to 477 without further loss by lunch on the fourth day at the Sinhalese Sports Club.

Tendulkar and Raina, who came together on Wednesday afternoon with India struggling at 241-4, have so far added 236 runs for the fifth wicket on a pitch still favouring stroke-making.

Left-hander Raina went to lunch unbeaten on 112, becoming the ninth Indian to score a century in his first Test, while Tendulkar was on a masterly 152 not out.

Tendulkar, the world's leading run-getter, equalled West Indian Brian Lara's record of 19 scores of 150-plus. Australian legend Don Bradman did it on 18 occasions.

Cell-phones can mislead drivers

2010-07-29T14:11:00.001+05:30

Drivers who listen to cell phone conversations are distracted even if they do not talk, exhibiting similar behavior as people who have been drinking. The study conducted at the Center for Cognitive Brain Imaging at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh used brain imaging to document that when driving and listening, activity in the parietal lobe, the portion of the brain associated with driving, was reduced by 37 percent.
We have all read articles about the dangers of using mobile phones. The controversy about the effects of exposure to mobile phone radiation continues to drive many a journalistic career, but what have we really seen? Ourselves?

Whenever a mobile is about receive a message/call, the radiation is quite strong, as evidenced by the effect on nearby CRT monitors, or the distinctly repetitive noise that disturbs your landline phone calls.
My WorldSpace reception blanks out whenever a message is received by a phone kept within 2 feet of the receiver. Notably, the same effect happens whenever the tube light starts (perhaps due to the 'starter' releasing radio waves as it builds and then releases the high voltage required to get the current flowing).

Have you ever noticed similar effects? Do you shy away from using mobile phones for a long stretch, or if forced to, resort to using a hands-free kit?

How cell phones affect our health?

Yes cell phones affect our memory, as there have been recent studies and researches done on animals kept in labs, which have shown the ill effects of mobile phone radiations on their memory.cell phone radiation caused leaks in the brain tissues of rats, which were exposed to this radiation for a test trial. Though we cannot avoid using cell phones, as they have become a necessity, one thing which we can do is use a hands-free to avoid direct radiation.

Do mobile phones harm brain tissues and cause cancer?
There is an argument that mobile phone causes change in the structure of chemicals of cells. Also, they are accused of causing cancer. The radiation from the mobile phones has been villainised by those who warn that the excess usage of mobile phones can damage brain cells. The heat produced by the radiation from mobile phones has been found to change the chemical structure of chemicals synthesized in small organisms like worms. But many scientists are of opinion that the radiation cannot be harmful to human tissues. A recent report says that so far there is no evidence of any adverse effect by mobile phone radiations, but they added that newer researches have to be conducted.
Recently, I have observed some serious effects of mobile phone radiation on brain. In Brain, Hippocampus is understood to be responsible for learning and memory. In order to confirm this, we have carried out investigations on the whole brain, hippocampus, and remaining brain. This was undertaken to determine the possible site of the Electromagnetic Field (EMF) biointeraction. We have concluded that these radiations may damage our nervous system especially memory. This has been done by protein kinase C activity and DNA strand break, which has been affected by mobile phone radiations.
Anyway it is better to prevent kids from using mobile phones excessively because their brain tissues are more vulnerable to chemical changes and cancer if exposed to radiation.
When you try to call someone through mobile phone, do not put your mobile closer to your ears until the recipient answers. Because directly after dialing the mobile phone, it would use its maximum signaling power, which is 2 watts which is equal to 33 dbi. Please Be Careful. Message as received (Save your brain. Please use your left ear while using cell (mobile), because if you use the right one, it will affect the brain directly. This is a true fact from many researches the medical teams around the world.
