One Year.............

So here we were...our first wedding anniversary!!! Awwwww! Can you believe it was a year ago...and what a crazy, amazing year it´s been!!!Tomorrow 19th May is a special day as it's a year since she and me tied the knot.

It feels good being married and I've enjoyed the last year lots. Even though I'm only just getting used to saying "my wife" without it feeling a bit weird.

Its just been a year and we together have experienced many emotions together.. being with her is great but.. i still cant read her mind its been a mystery to me... or should is say it a universal fact that all women are mystery to men. i guess its better this way, more the mystery, more would be the interest and excitement to know her.

I want her to know that I consider myself the luckiest man alive to have her as my wife and that she means everything to me. I want nothing more than to grow old with her and spend the rest of my life with her.

E-mail safety

Do you really know how to forward e-mails?

50% of us do, 50% DO NOT.

Do you wonder why you get viruses or junk mail? Do you hate it? Every time you forward an e-mail, there is information left over from the people who got the message before you -- their e-mail addresses and names. As the messages get forwarded along, the list builds and builds and builds, and all it takes is for some poor sap to get a virus and his or her computer can send that virus to every E-mail address that has come across his computer. Or, someone can take all of those addresses and sell them, or send junk mail to them in the hopes that you will go to the site and that person will make five cents for each hit.

How do you stop it? There are several easy steps:

1. When you forward an e-mail, DELETE all of the other addresses that appear in the body of the message (at the top). That's right, DELETE them. Highlight them and delete them, backspace them, cut them, whatever it is you know how to do. It only takes a second. You MUST click the "Forward" button first and then you will have full editing capabilities against the body and headers of the message. If you don't click on "Forward" first, you won't be able to edit the message at all.

2. Whenever you send an e-mail to more than one person, do NOT use the "To" or "Cc" fields for adding e-mail addresses. Always use the "BCC" (blind carbon copy) field for listing the e-mail addresses. This way the people you send to will only see their own e-mail address. If you don't see your "BCC," option click on "To" and your address list will appear. Highlight the address and choose "BCC." It's that easy. When you send to "BCC" your message will automatically say "Undisclosed Recipients" in the "To" field of the ones who receive it.

3. Remove any "FW" in the subject line. You can re-name the subject or even fix spelling.

4. ALWAYS hit your "Forward" button from the actual e-mail you are reading, not from the one who sent it to you!! Ever get e-mails where you have to open ten pages first to read the one page with the wanted information on it? By Forwarding from the actual page you wish to be viewed, it eliminates extra e-mails people have to wade through.

5. Have you ever gotten an e-mail that is a petition? It states a

position, asks you to add your name and address and then requests that you forward it to ten or 15 people or your entire address book. As it is forwarded on and on it can collect thousands of names and e-mail addresses.

FACT: That petition is worth a couple of bucks to a professional spammer because of the wealth of valid names and e-mail addresses on it. If you want to support the intent of the petition, send it as your own personal letter to the most effective source. Your position may carry more weight as a personal letter than does a laundry list of names and e-mail address on a petition.

And think about this -- Who is supposed to actually send the petition in after the names are collected? And don't believe the ones that say that the e-mail is being traced. It just ain't so!

6. One of the emails I hate is the one that says something like, "Send this e-mail to ten people and you'll see something cute run across your screen," or sometimes they just tease you by saying something really good will happen soon. IT AIN'T GONNA!!!!! Trust me, some of the same ones went around ten years ago!

I don't let the bad luck ones scare me either, they get trashed (could be why I haven't won the lottery??)

7. Before you forward an Amber Alert or a Virus Alert, or some of the other ones floating around nowadays, check them out before you forward them Most of them are junk mail that have been circling the net for YEARS!

We have a choice

Having choices makes us fully accountable. No one can make us think anything we don't want to think. No one can determine our behavior and how we act. It's not what's going on but how we look at what's going on. If someone does something and we get upset, we can change how we look at it any time we want. We can tell ourselves in the morning that the day is going to be beautiful and that we have expectations that great things will happen. Doing this daily sets our mind to look for the joy and the excitement of each day.

"We don't have to say or think what we don't wish to. We have a choice in those things, and we have to realize that and practice using that choice."

Live This Life

I truly believe that everyone in life should be able to do what they want to do.

I don't believe in social classes, I don't believe the rich should be the one with Luxaries, and I think the less fortunate should also have a slice of the good life.

I don't believe in "borders", and that only certain people can do things, and that anyone is higher than the next person. I believe that anyone should be able to travel to any country, and visit, without having to shell out a ton of money to do it.

I believe that none should have a person telling them what to do, none should put anyone down or turn down someone, because of looks, age, sex, weight, or national of origin.

I believe we all have the chance to make it to the top, but it's shattered, because of people around them, or the media, telling us only certain people can make it somewhere. Which is totally judgemental, and totally rediculous.

Life can be free, and fun, but you got to get rid of all the negativity, and stand up for yourself. Don't listen to anyone who offers only negative criticism, only those who can make you a better person, in the long run.

I believe we should try to help anyone who has less, and encourage those who have more to give to others.

I also believe if we get knocked down, we have every right to try harder, and give them 1000% of everything we got. Ponder why you failed, and work on it, and make it better, dont just give up on something, because one person told you it was bad.

So remember live this life, be happy, and go after your dreams

Love in the times of instant messaging

I'm pretty sure that every person reading this post, or for that matter even those who are not, own a cell phone And if they are in a relationship, or once were, or are looking for one, they must have more than often depended on this little device to reach out to their partner.

One does not need any survey or study to realize how important cell phones have become in our lives today. It has grown beyond a simple tool to stay in touch and has often been the comforter, communicator, friend, confidant, and much more. No one would have ever imagined the degree to which the cell phone's status has risen in our lives – from friendly chats to taking significant decisions, it does it all .

Cell phones have become so common that it is no longer unusual to see students talking and texting their friends even during lecture sessions. While parents may have introduced their kids to cell phones thinking it would help keep a tab on them, but for children it's like being given a new lease of life. The phone has especially come as a boon for those kids who are awakening to new-found feelings of love and find this tool an easy means to explore those feelings !

Thus, as with various other facets of our lives, cell phones also have a huge role to play in our personal relationships.Distance has lost its meaning thanks to the cell phone which allows us to connect to our partner almost instantly .

Ironically, if the result of a new workshop is to be believed,cell phones can actually prove to be a big hurdle in our love lives.

In book'How to Play Hard to Get: How to Catch and Keep Mr Right, Not Mr Right Now'relationships say that women who want to attract and keep a man's attention should go for the old-fashioned style of playing hard to get and write love letters, for sms love messages can actually sabotage their prospects of finding love.

They point out that when a woman sends a sms to her boyfriend or a potential boyfriend, she frets terribly till she hears from him.The more time the man takes to respond to her message or call, the worse her imagination gets.She starts assuming that he is having an affair or probably isn't too impressed by her and is therefore avoiding her.

Of course, writing a love letter in blood may be charming in its own way, but how much blood does one waste if one wants to communicate as frequently as possible. In this instant sms era, where you can text your loved one at thedrop of a hat, patience is no longer a practiced virtue.

Psychologist, points out, "It is thanks to technology that nowadays even when partners are travelling they can be in constant touch with each other, thereby reducing the missing factor !"

Me too hasn't stopped me from owning two cell phones. so whenever she feels the need to talk to her partner, she gives me a missed call and i calls back –a new trend in cell phone etiquettes based on the old idea of the gentleman picking the tab."But if I am in a meeting or when we are in a situation when we can't talk we usually sms,".

While it does not feel that we've become too dependent on cell phones to sustain relationships,she does agree that it has helped in improving the emotional bonds between the partners."In the pre-cell phone era also people used to enjoy good relationships.So it would be wrong to say we are more dependent on cell phones to make our relationship work. But yes, it has increased the bonding and the two people become emotionally attached in a shorter period as they are able to communicate and share more frequently.When either partner gets angry it is easier to make up as we can immediately talk over the phone and sought it out,".

Young or old, cell phones have helped couples explore their relationship and understand each other better. "Thanks to the cell phone.

The cell phone also continues to play an important role in the lives of married couples. With little time to spend with each other during the week they make up for it by talking on the phone and texting each other.In fact, the cell phone is not restricted to helping couples keep in touch and keeping the fire of marriage alive. Mobile dating is also on the rise. It works on the same principal as the traditional marriage broker. Once an individual registers with a mobile dating service provider, his or her profile is matched with a similar one of the opposite sex and the couple can interact and meet up if they desire.
As the latest cell phones come with the latest mobile technology such as cameras, broadband wireless connections and MMS, sending and receiving pictures or text to prospective partners has become common place. This allows the couple to decide whether they want to take things forward and also saves the embarrassment of meeting and realizing that the person is not your dream girl or man!

    Things you didn't know about Google

    The name Google is a spelling error. The founders of the site, Larry page and Sergey Brin, thought they were going for 'Googol.' Googol is the mathematical term for 1 followed by 100 zeros. The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, Mathematics and the Imagination by Kasner and James Newman. Google's play on the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web. Initially, Larry and Sergey Brin called their search engine BackRub, named for its analysis of the of the web's "back links." The search for a new name began in 1997, with Larry and his officemates starting a hunt for a number of possible new names for the rapidly improving search technology.


    The reason the google page is so bare is because the founder didn't know HTML and just wanted a quick interface. Due to the sparseness of the homepage, in early user tests they noted people just kept sitting staring at the screen, waiting for the rest to appear. To solve the particular problem the Google Copyright message was inserted to act as an end of page marker.





    Google started as a research project by Larry page and Sergey Brin when they were 24 and 23 years respectively. Google's mission statement is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. The company's first office was in a garage, in Menlo Park, California. Google's first employee was Craig Silverstein, now Google's director of technology. The basis of Google's search technology is called PageRank that assigns an "importance" value to each page on the web and gives it a rank to determine how useful it is. However, that is not why it is called PageRank. It is actually named after Google co-founder Larry Page.


    Google receives about 20 million search queries each day from every part of the world, including Antarctica and Vatican. You can have the Google homepage set up in as many as 116 different languages -- including Urdu, Latin, Cambodia, Tonga, and Yoruba. In fact, Google has the largest network of translators in the world.






    In the earliest stage of Google, there was no submit button, rather the Enter key needed to be pressed. Google has banned computer-generated search requests, which can sop up substantial system resources and help unscrupulous marketers manipulate its search rankings.







    The Google's free web mail service Gmail was used internally for nearly two years prior to launch to the public. The researchers found out six types of email users, and Gmail has been designed to accommodate these six. The free e-mail service recently changed its name for new UK users. Following a trademark dispute with a London-based Independent International Investment Research, the mail account has been renamed Google Mail.


    It would take 5,707 years for a person to search Google's 3 billion pages. The Google software does it in 0.5 seconds. Google Groups comprises more than 845 million Usenet messages, which is the world's largest collection of messages or the equivalent of more than a terabyte of human conversation.






    The logos that appear on the Google homepage during noteworthy days and dates and important events are called Google Doodle. The company has also created an online museum where it has all the logos it has put on various occasions so far. Dennis Hwang, a Korean computer artist in the United States, is the guy behind these witty Doodles. Hwang has been drawing the face of Google for over two years.



    You have heard of Google Earth, but not many know there is a site called Google Moon, which maps the Lunar surface. Google Moon is an extension of Google Maps and Google Earth that, courtesy of NASA imagery, enables you to surf the Moon's surface and check out the exact spots that the Apollo astronauts made their landings.
