A Need of Indian Economy - A need for Indian Life

India is a green economy country, traditionally a farming based culture. A manson agriculture is the base of Indian life. Being a semi-continent size country, India has variety of land masses with diverse climate. At one end there is Assam where the highest rain showers are recorded and on the other end there is Rajastan where the showers are the luxury in dessert. The western part of India is manily famous for the water conservation.

To cope with this parched life, the people of western India more than a 1000 years ago built wells. But not the holes in the ground we know as wells, these were ornate, magnificent, maze-like structures made of stone, some 90 feet deep.

WallStreet Mania from Maniac's mouth

It's hard to think of anyone more intense or opinionated, or who wears as many hats as James Cramer. In Confessions of a Street Addict, the man who first made a name for himself on Wall Street successfully managing his hedge fund--and then became famous on Main Street with his manic appearances on CNBC--tells the improbable story of his career as journalist, Wall Street pundit, Internet entrepreneur, and television commentator. For the most part, Cramer manages to avoid the self-congratulatory hype that mars so many books of this ilk; in fact, what makes Confessions so compelling are the shots that Cramer takes at himself, be it his now infamous capitulation during the stock market panic of October 1998, when he wrote a piece for TheStreet.com advising readers of an impending crash just as the market began to rebound, or the callous way he treated so many around him in pursuit of the next trade. Here's an informative, honest, and rollicking read for fans of CNBC, TheStreet.com, or anyone who has ever lost sleep thinking about their portfolios. Highly recommended. ---Harry C. Edwards

Toungue Twisters

Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
It would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter,
That would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter -
Better than her bitter butter -
And she baked it in her batter;
And the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.
Mr. See owned a saw.
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now, See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See,
Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
Before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed
Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
just because See's saw sawed
Soar's seesaw.

A tree-toad loved a she-toad
Who lived up in a tree.
He was a two-toed tree-toad,
But a three-toed toad was she.
The two-toed tree-toad tried to win
The three-toed she-toad's heart,
For the two-toed tree-toad loved the ground
That the three-toed tree-toad trod.
But the two-toed tree-toad tried in vain;
He couldn't please her whim.
From her tree-toad bower,
With her three-toad power,
The she-toad vetoed him.
Ned Nott was shot and Sam Shott was not.
So it is better to be Shott than Nott.
Some say Nott was not shot.
But Shott says he shot Nott.

Living in the Blog-osphere

"Welcome to the world of a half million (and counting) Weblogs, where anyone can instantly publish his passions and favorite Weblinks. And the fun�s just begun" By Steven Levy (NEWSWEEK )

Don't you feel "Blogging is a social phenomenon, and the Blog-osphere self-organizes into clusters of the like-minded. Within one of those clusters, the small-scale drama of a life, the incisiveness of one�s film criticism or the knowledge one imparts about esoteric telcom regulations can foment a weird kind of microcelebrity" ????

The Starfish :

An old man was walking along the beach, when he came upon a part of the sand where thousands of starfish had washed ashore. A little further down the beach he saw a young woman, who was picking up the starfish one at a time and tossing them back into the ocean. "Oh you silly girl," he exclaimed. "You can't possibly save all of these starfish. There's too many." The woman smiled and said, "I know. But I can save this one, " and she tossed another into the ocean, "and this one", toss, "and this one..." - adapted from a poem written by Randy Poole called The Difference He Made.

Get your Image converted to text at text-image.com. All the imges encoding are read to its best and at the end the according to the encoding the characters are repalced. check out the character version of yourself.
Being a programmer, I know the pain if I want to get the text from an Image to a notepad. Sometimes it is impossible!!! But there are other work arounds like, changing the image to TIFF or other format, then to a PDF, then to a searchable PDF, and then to a text file. Otherwise you can choose to read the whole encoding in the image, remove the compressions, analyse bit by bit and do it. I donn knwo if there is possible simpler way to achieve the same.

Josh Points to XWT, the XML Windowing Toolkit. It lets you write remote applications -- applications that run on a server, yet can "project" their user interface onto any computer, anywhere on the Internet. It already speaks XML and uses XML-RPC and has a mail client already written, modifying it to interface with the XMT API (or, the SOAP version that will emerge from it) should not be too difficult and would get us a quick cross platform client. The only problem is that XWT is significantly slower than an app already on your computer, and, on my mac at least, it tends to just open blank windows from jar files that I can only kill from the command line. ew.
