Conserve resourches

Turn off the water while brushing your teeth.

It’s easy to protect the planet! These tips help save limited resources such as water and energy. So get green and give the tips a try. Make sure to ask your parents before trying any of these tips!
• Choose locally grown food. Transporting food long distances wastes fuel and creates extra CO2.

• Turn off the water while brushing your teeth.

• Send an e-card instead of a paper card.
• Say "No bag, thank you." Whether you're buying toys, snacks, or clothes, tell the checkout person you don't need a bag. By carrying your own reusable fabric bag, you'll help reduce the estimated 100 million plastic bags that each year clog sewers, entangle birds, and get swallowed by whales, sea turtles, and other wildlife.

• Scrape leftovers off the dishes instead of rinsing them. (Wash the dishes soon after.)

• Take short showers instead of baths. Aim for five minutes—but still get clean!

Drinking Water: Bottled or From the Tap?

If your family is like many , unloading the week’s groceries includes hauling a case or two of bottled water into your home. On your way to a soccer game or activity, it’s easy to grab a cold one right out of the fridge, right?

Imagine a water bottle filled a quarter of the way up with oil. That’s about how much oil was needed to produce the bottle.

So why don’t more people drink water straight from the kitchen faucet? Some people drink bottled water because they think it is better for them than water out of the tap, but that’s not true. In the United States, local governments make sure water from the faucet is safe. There is also growing concern that chemicals in the bottles themselves may leach into the water.

People love the convenience of bottled water. But maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a refillable steel container instead of plastic.

Plastic bottle recycling can help—instead of going out with the trash, plastic bottles can be turned into items like carpeting or cozy fleece clothing.

Unfortunately, for every six water bottles we use, only one makes it to the recycling bin. The rest are sent to landfills. Or, even worse, they end up as trash on the land and in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Plastic bottles take many hundreds of years to disintegrate.

Water is good for you, so keep drinking it. But think about how often you use water bottles, and see if you can make a change.

Betty McLaughlin, who runs an organization called the Container Recycling Institute, says try using fewer bottles: “If you take one to school in your lunch, don’t throw it away—bring it home and refill it from the tap for the next day. Keep track of how many times you refill a bottle before you recycle it.”

And yes, you can make a difference. Remember this: Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours.

Save Power Play outside instead of using electricity

• Keep those fans buzzing in summer instead of turning on the air conditioner.
• Replace incandescent lightbulbs with compact fluorescent ones. They last up to ten times longer and can use a quarter of the energy.
• Plug electronics into a power strip and flip off the switch when the gadgets aren’t in use. (make sure this won’t mess up clocks and recordings.)
• Commit to turning off your computer before bed each night and before you go out for the day. Also set the computer's sleep mode for when the computer is idle for just a little while. By doing these two simple acts, you will use about 85% less energy each day.
• Switch off the light every time you leave a room.
• Set the thermostat to no lower than 78°F in the summer and no higher than 68°F in the winter.
• Place your desk next to a window and use natural light instead of a lamp.
• Close your curtains to keep out daytime summer heat or keep in nighttime winter warmth.
• Turn off the TV or video game console and play outside.
• Ask Mom or Dad to turn off the car instead of letting it idle while you're waiting.

• Ride a bike or walk instead of using the car.

Strained Glass

Up to 50 percent of the average household's energy consumption goes to heating and cooling the home.

But properly sealed windows can help insulate your home, reducing the energy consumed--and money spent--to maintain indoor temperature.

Here are some ways to up window efficiency:

* Seal all edges and cracks with caulk.

* Install weather stripping in the frame.

* Hang curtains or drapes to limit heat gains in the summer and losses in the winter.

* In harsh climates, install storm windows, which help keep outdoor air from seeping in and indoor air from seeping out.

When It Rains...

During dry months, 40 percent of the average household's water consumption goes to outdoor watering. Rather than needlessly draining that water out of the faucet, gather rainfall in a rain barrel connected to the gutter system and use it to keep the lawn and garden green. Just an inch of rainfall on a 1,000-square-foot roof will accumulate over 600 gallons of fresh water. When picking out a barrel, here are a couple of things to look for:

Choose a model topped with a mesh screen that will keep debris out of the barrel and a lid that prevents mosquitoes from using the water as a breeding ground when it's not raining.

Look for a barrel equipped with a side spigot where a hose can be attached and watering cans can be easily filled. Also, most rain barrels can hold up to sixty gallons of water, so make sure it's parked on a strong and steady surface.

Furry Foes

More than just an eyesore, over 80 strains of mold have been associated with respiratory tract disorders. With the health risks posed by a pesky mold problem, getting rid of furry patches should be top priority. Fortunately, you likely have a potent mold eliminator under the kitchen sink--straight vinegar. Undiluted white vinegar kills 82 percent of mold strains, enough for most problems. Fill a spray bottle, saturate the area, and let it sit. The smell will be a bit harsh, but it typically clears out in a few hours, taking the unsightly respiratory tract-threatening brown patch with it.
For more resilient mold colonies, try a mixture of two teaspoons of tea tree oil and two cups of water. The smell can be overwhelming, and will linger for a few days, but tea tree oil works when nothing else will. Nearly as effective as tea tree oil, grapefruit seed extract (20 drops mixed with two cups of water) will do the trick without the smell.

Clear the Air

Diesel exhaust from school buses contains asthma-triggering particulates and 40 microscopic chemicals that the Clean Air Act classifies as hazardous air pollutants.

Keeping the air clean is especially important for children--pound for pound, they breathe in more air and more pollutants than adults. You can reduce the problem by lobbying to bring new technologies to your school, like the propane-powered buses developed by Blue Bird Corporation, which eliminate particulates and can halve fuel costs, among other benefits. Diesel buses may also be retrofitted with technologies like diesel particulate filters; for a complete list of verified technologies, see the EPA's website.

If your school district doesn't yet have the resources to make big changes, you can still cut your emissions by reducing idling outside of schools and motivating others to do the same. Turn off the car or put it on standby when waiting to pick up or drop off children, and encourage kids to walk or ride bikes whenever possible (if you're concerned about safety, talk to other parents in the neighborhood about having the kids bike together). You can also work with your school's PTA or PTSA to request a no-idling zone for buses. Airwatch Northwest's Anti-Idling Program has toolkits to help reduce idling in your school, including letters to parents and faculty members and a "No Idle Zone" sign to display in your parking lot.

TOO COOL

Americans are air conditioning addicts. When the weather gets the better of us, we turn our homes and offices into cool and breezy retreats from the sweltering heat. But the cold air comes at a cost. During summer months, half of all energy consumed in the U.S. goes to powering air conditioners, and each year power plants emit 100 million tons of carbon dioxide to meet our AC addiction. Maybe we're too cool for our own good.

As the weather simmers down this summer, adjust the AC relative to the temperature outside--try a setting10 degrees cooler than the day's high temperature. You'll save 3 percent on energy costs for every degree raised over 72 degrees. Or raise the temperature setting even more and turn on a fan. And be sure to draw the blinds and curtains during the sunniest and warmest times of day.

DIY Pesticides

Synthetic pesticides come with an abundance of environmental and health effects. Rather than hiring your local exterminator, give DIY pest control recipes a try.
For ants, spray a mixture of soapy water, or water mixed with citrus oil, on anthills or directly on the ants.
Rid your yard of all stagnant pools of water that provide a haven for mosquitoes to lay their eggs, and keep them off your skin with plant oils, such as geranium, citronella, tea tree and lavender.
If you have a moth problem, treat indoor wood paneling and furniture with cedar oil to help deter them.

Help Others This Holiday Season specially for kids but adults can also do good;

This holiday make the season a little brighter for others. Giving back is a great thing to do all year round, but the holidays tend to bring out the charitable side in most people. Try some of these ideas with your family and make a difference this holiday season.

• Donate to a charitable organization

Invite an elderly neighbor or someone who lives alone to join your celebration (ask your parents first!)

Deliver a meal to a family in need

Write a thoughtful note to someone special

Bring your host a small gift to show your appreciation and offer to help clean up

Donate clothes you've outgrown

Donate food to a local charity or food bank

Volunteer at a soup kitchen

Send a care package to a soldier

Visit hospital patients

Foster a dog or cat

Adopt an endangered animal through a zoo

Shovel snow for a neighbor

Help pick up trash at a local park

Join a church or school group that does community service projects

Eat Less - Waste Nothing

2009-01-12T18:32:00.000-08:00

FOOD WASTAGE

It is estimated that four million people in the UK cannot afford a healthy diet, with one in seven people over the age of 65 at serious risk of malnourishment.

Seventeen million tonnes of surplus food is dumped on landfills every year.

Of 17 million tonnes of waste food, four million tonnes is edible.The cost of this waste if around Â£18 billion annually.

Source: FareshareAccording to a 1997 study by US Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service (ERS) entitled "Estimating and Addressing America's Food Losses", about 96 billion pounds of food, or more than a quarter of the 356 billion pounds of edible food available for human consumption in the United States, was lost to human use by food retailers, consumers, and foodservice establishments in 1995.
Fresh fruits and vegetables, fluid milk, grain products, and sweeteners (mostly sugar and high-fructose corn syrup) accounted for two-thirds of the losses. 16 billion pounds of milk and 14 billion pounds of grain products are also included in this loss.
Food that could have gone to millionsAccording to the US Department of Agriculture, up to one-fifth of America's food goes to waste each year, with an estimated 130 pounds of food per person ending up in landfills. The annual value of this lost food is estimated at around $31 billion But the real story is that roughly 49 million people could have been fed by those lost resources.

"As the millennium draws to a close, memories of the appalling man-made famine in southern Sudan last year are hard to erase. Even as this issue of Field Exchange goes to press, thousands of Angolans teeter on the edge of starvation; pawns in a long and brutal civil war over which they have little control. Famines have occurred with monotonous frequency throughout the 20th century despite enormous technological, economic and social advances - the Ukraine famine in the 1930s, the Bengal and Dutch famines of the 1940s, the great China famine of the 1950s, Biafra in the late 1960s, famines in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan in the 1970s-90s. There are many others, though perhaps lesser known. What most of these famines have in common is a shared cause; they were all created by man. Some of the man-made famines of this century are described below. The accounts are stark, harrowing and shameful. Yet their causes and impact bear striking similarities to the famines of today." Fiona WatsonInstitute of Child Health
More than 11 million boys and girls under five years of age die every year in the Third World from diseases that are largely preventable. That means more than 30,000 every day, 21 every minute, and almost a thousand since this rally began, about 45 minutes ago.
"By the end of 1998, the Third World's external debt amounted to 2.4 trillion dollars,that is, four times the total in 1982, only 18 years ago."

"Between 1982 and 1998, these countries paid over 3.4 trillion dollars for debt servicing;
in other words, almost a trillion dollars more than the current debt. Far from decreasing,
the debt grew by 45% in those 16 years."
"Life expectancy in sub-Saharan Africa is barely 48 years. That is 30 years less than in the developed countries.

The Richest 16% of the World Uses 80% of Earth's Natural Resources
That's the estimated toll the wealthiest populations on the globe -- the United States,
Europe and Japan -- are taking from the earth's natural bounty to sustain their way oflife. In the U.S. alone, says Emily Matthews of the World Resources Institute, everyman, woman and child is responsible for the consumption of about 25 tons of rawmaterials each year.

How many people go to bed hungry? "More than 820 million people in the world suffer from hunger; and 790 million of them live in the Third World."

More than 800 million people still suffer from hunger or diseases associated with undernourishment, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization said in its annual report.

History of India (With Maps)

2008-12-27T06:23:00.000-08:00

A Political Map of India Throughout the ages

Basically, here is how the Indian sub-continent has looked over the ages, under various united Empires, or sometimes warring states. Like every other civilisation on the planet, from China to Britian, India has been united at different times under different empires, and has sometimes been in a state of highly divided territories, but has always been considered one land, including the south, which has been the centre of Indian power during some of India's golden ages. Although un-hitorical nationalism and bias has often led various cultures such as the Chinese to interpret history monolithically, as if there was never any outside influence, every culture on this planet is a combination of different ethnic groups, beliefs, sub-cultures, etc - nothing is static or isolated - diversity is the only truth. India had a huge influence on others, especially in the east, in this way too - with Indian mathematicians and astronomers being employed by the Chinese Emperor in ancient times, China's state religion being Buddhism, etc.

Before the first map, it is worth saying that human ancestors have been painting cave pictures in India since 500,000 BC, although Homo sapiens probably came in later during the Ice Age, and it is at the end of the Ice Age, roughy 10,000 BC, that actual civilisation, agriculture, and religion started. Much like China, Japan, Egypt or Greece, India has been known as one land in legend and geography. For the purpose of comparison, I will include both the legendary mythology of the Ramayana and Mahabharata and the archeological history. The accepted history only starts with the first settlements of the Indus Valley Civilization. Before this time, India was a collection of city states based heavily on agriculture.

NOTE: I am mearly providing the Mahabharata kingdoms, etc, to illustrate how the legends tie into real history. If you wish to read scholaristic history, start with the Indus-Valley Civilization, and skip those parts.

Credits : p1ndu

6500 BC? - Ramayana

During the Ramayana epic, this is how India is theorised to have looked, based on geography from the books - a series of different Indian kingdoms with strong trade links, alliances and knolwedge of each other, kind of like the Greek city-state period, exept much, much earlier. The Vedas were said to have passed down for thousands of years through chanting only.
Again, for those who believe the epics, during the time of Krishna, the ancient texts tell us that India was united as one for the first time because of Dharamaraja's empire, or that this may have happened before, with one of the city states being known as the capital of India, and the rest paying tribute. Thus the name Bharat emerged as the name of South Asia, due to the rulership of Bharata. If we are to believe what the epics tell us, then these kingdoms may have been united through tribute, by the legendary Emperor Bharata, whom the subconetinent is named after - however there is no historical evidence of this - in this respect, Bharata is the direct contemporary of China's Emperor Yu - a mythological first Emperor who allegedly started their civilization. India and China, being similar in geography and culture, share a lot in common, although India's ancient history is older.

From here on is accepted history, as confirmed by archeology - please refer to the latest research on the Indus Valley Civilization...
---
Here begins the archeological history of the subcontient, which started with the first human ventures into farming, permenant settlement and breeding of livestock, with settlements like Mehrgarh, almost 10,000 years ago. During this time, tools fashioned from raw materials, and pottery, began to appear - as it also did in various other early settlments throughout the world. This was triggered by the end of the last Ice Age, in which humans were finally free to flourish. The first civilizations - India, Egypt and Mesopotamia, which were roughly contemporary, all started around river valleys, which ensured fresh water and transport - later Indian civilization would thrive due to the other great rivers of India, such as the Ganges.

World Civilisations

No other cradle of civilization was as extensive in geographical area as the Indus-Valley Civilization, covering an area of two million square kilometers or wider. What makes the IVC even more astounding, apart from the advanced planned urban settelments, is the uniformity of the culture - measurements, bricks, weights, etc, were all stanardised within a very thin margin, suggesting the the Indus Valley Civilization may have been a single state, rather than loose Empire or collection of city-states. At the very least it suggests rigourous trade. Its form of government is unknown - no evidence of kings has been found - suggesting it may not have even been a monarchy, but perhaps a 'republic' or counsil of some sort.

Ships of the IVC sailed as far west as the Persian Gulf and Africa, and probably just as far east - suggesting the earliest globalisation of trade and culture. The port of Lothal is one of the hubs that likely served this purpose. Other major settlements were Harappa, Mohenjo-daro, and Dholavera. At the start of the decade, two mysterous, and apparently huge twin cities of great age were discovered in the IVC style, laying on the bottom of the Gulf of Cambay.

2000 BC - Indus-Valley Civilisation (so far excavated)

For referance, this is what scholars think the Indus-Valley Civilization looked like, from what they have excavated, however, although this area is the size of western Europe, and far bigger than Sumaria or Egypt already, with fully planned cities and massive populations - this dosent take into account that India, due to its large urbanisation and population from ancient times, is built on top of the remains of ancient cities, perhaps suggesting that the IVC extended further. To underline this, ruins are being found underwater off the entire Indian coast, right down to the Deccan, demonstrating that at the very least, there were other settlements in coastal India which did not fall under IVC governance, but likely traded.

The melting of Ice Caps in the Himalayas changed India, drying up some rivers, which may have inspired such stories in the Mahabharata. Others believe the primary cause of the end of Indus Valley Civilization was simple - they were a bronze age economy - and so with the advent of iron, the civilization's trade collapsed. While old theories used to speculate on natural calamity, it now seems that the IVC mearly collapsed due to this shift in economic output.

Recent evidence suggests that Indian people migrated out of the subcontient around this time - the opposite of what was once believed - taking with them early-Vedism that was spread through trade to Sumaria, Babylon, and even Europe and China for some time.

1000 BC - The Mahajanapadas

This is where we move into more recorded history of the sub-continent (which unlike the much poured over Egypt, is still largely undiscovered). Following the collapse of the bronze age, India was divided between many early kingdoms, during the time of the iron age. This period was the one in which much of today's classical Indian culture was formed - Vedic Sanskrit was codified into the Classical Sanskritstill spoken throughout India and Buddhist countries today by the ancient philosopher Panini. Religions such as Buddhism, modern Hinduism, Jainism, and atheist philosophy like Carvaka, were all formed. The epics were written down, and the Upanishads were composed by early philosophers. In comparison, ancient Greece was also going through a similar period - making Indian and Greek thought - eastern and western, that we know today.

One Mahajanapada would soon rise to dominate the rest - Magadha - this kingdom conquered India, for the first time in recorded history - 100 years before Qin Shi Huang did the same in China.

200 BC - The Mauyan Dynasty

From its capital Pataliputra - today known as Patna, the Magadha Empire, under various dynasties, slowly gained power. Then, during the upheaval caused by the failed incursions of Persia and Greece into the edge of northwest India, one Emperor saw an oppertunity to unite the entire subconetienent under a single empire, and took it - Chandragupta Maurya - India's equivalent of the Chinese First Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Pataliputra became the largest in the world at the time - twice the size of Rome. This was the time of the Mauryan Dynasty of the Magadhan Empire.
The kingdom of Magadha gradually subjugated the other 16 Mahajanapadas. During the Shishunaga dynasty, it conquered the fertile Gangalitic plains, which were at the time the centre of Indian economy - during the Nanda dynasty, rule was expanded further. Capitalising on the chaos created by the Persian and Greek invasions of the north, the Maurya dynasty would finally unite the entire subcontinent, under a single highly-centralised state, akin to that of the Persian Empire to the northwest. Thus Chandragupta Maurya became the first emperor of India around 350 BC, around 100 years before the Yellow Emperor of China united a signigficant portion of that state.
The Mauryan Empire was expanded by Asoka the Great - the most famous ancient Emperor of India, when he conquered Kalinga. He was known for exporting Buddhism, martial arts, and other Indian culture, to the world, having major impact on world religion, giving South-East asia, China, Korea and Japan, much culture as it is known today, plus influencing western thought - with early Christianity from 300 years later bearing several Buddhist hallmarks.
When Asoka decided to dediate himself to non-violence, he halted his plans to take the war further, invading the tip of the south and Lanka, instead making them his strong allies/tributaries and sending scholars and priests there, which is when Sri Lanka attained its Buddhist identity as seen today - the oldest Buddhist kingdom in the world.
The Magadhan rule of India would collapse slightly under the Shunga dynasty, and finally fell during the Kanva dynasty, only to be re-established much later by the Guptas. This is pretty much where well-recored Indian history begins, with the first Asoka-brahmi written scripts found on Asoka's legendary rock edicts. The script eventually evolved into every Indian script used today, including the Thai, Lao and Khmer scripts of South East Asia. Although the languages of the south are different from those of the north - their scripts have the same origin.
The Mauryan Empire was the largest empire in the world, in terms of population and economy at least, in its day.

100 BC

Remenants of the Magadhan empire, led by the Shunga dynasty are seen here alongside the Indo-Greco-Persian kindgom that had been established in the north - at this time, there was much sharing of ideas between the early Greek/Persian world of the west, and India. The Indo-Greek kingdom eventually collapsed, but not before creating some of the finest Buddhist and Hindu art.

100 AD - Kushan Invasion

The Kushan Empire managed to intrude on Indian territory, accounting for the collapse of the Indo-Greeks and Indo-Persians, and was subsequently absorbed, enriching India further. These central asian nomads adopted Hinduism and Buddhism, and provided some of the closest contact between neighbouring China and India - leading to the adoption of Buddhism in China, as well as the transport of much philosophy and science between the two - both civilizations would become the two most powerfull of ancient times.

In the first century AD, the Indian subcontinent was the richest area of the world, holding 33% of the world's GDP output. This declined with the rise of China over the next 1000 years - by the 1500s, India and China accounted for 25% each of the world's entire eocnomy - this 50% share was only reduced in the colonial era. (See Angus Maddison - 'The World Economy a Millennial Perspective'). Fabeled tales of wealth attracted the Greek's failed invasion into India, and would be responsible for luring the later Arab and British invasions to what they saw as a mysterious and extreamly rich eastern land.

400 AD - Gupta Period

Yet again a dynasty from the area of Magadha, rose to dominate the subcontinent. This may have been because the Gangalitic plains were some of the most densely populated and fertile areas, who had once been centre of the Mauryans. A culturally influencial period of Indian history - the Guptas and other Indian kingoms wielded massive powers of art, economy and literature at this time.
The Gupta period saw one of India's greatest empires, and the so called 'golden age' of India, when, India was rivalled in economic power and culture only by Rome, Persia and China. Trade and cultural diversity made the states of ancient times powerfull -openess led to innolvation, absorbtion of outside ideas, generation of entirely Indian ones, and the spread of this classical art to South East Asia and Japan, where it can still be see today.

625 AD - Harsha

Around this period the Empire of Emperor Harsha formed, resisting the invasion of the White Huns from the north, through the historic route where all major invasions had taken place. This one Emperor single handedly united the old Gupta territories, like an Indian Alexader or Genghis Khan. The White Huns themselves would be absorbed into India's culture, like many other invaders, and many of them became part of the Rajputs and other north Indian clans, when they married into warrior families. These central-asian warrior clans had a similar effect on India as the Anglo-Saxons, etc, did on Britian, or the Manchu and Mongolian peoples on China - being absorbed, bringing new fighting tactics into an already formiddable martial arts tradition (in ancietn times, long before Harsha, India may have produced the earliest martial arts like Kalaripayattu, which influenced the eastern Shaolin and Karate of today).

900 AD - Cholas

In 900 AD, medieval times are approaching, and with them, the largescale spread of the Islamic faith with the expansion of the Arab Empire into what used to be the Persian Empire - India's old neighbour and occasional enemy. In doing so, some of what was Persia's old Zorostrain culture was absorbed into the Arab Empires, although some more puritanical elements also tried to wipe out this ancient faith, forcing the Parsis to flee to India where they would not be persecuted for their beliefs. This is similar to how the Tibetans today seek refuge in India from Chinese expansion, and demonstrates what a beautifull mix of cultures India contains.
Meanwhile, in India, the Cholas of the Deccan, had managed to create a large empire, including overseas, in Indonesia and South-East asia. They established rule over Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia, and many other areas which had been previously assotiated with India through trade and Hindu/Buddhist religion. The Palas, etc, were great kingdoms of the time too, and often fought epic battles with each other - similar to 'warring states' periods in Chinese history.
The dynasties of this period such as the Cholas, were creators of some of India's greatest monuments and temples under such leaders as Raja Raja the Great - who build enough temples out of diamond-hard Indian granite to build the great pyramid of Egypt. Some might say that the temple building program of Raja Raja was one of the world's greatest undertakings, simialr to the greta wal of China - each one lined with thousands of staues - and yet India's mandirs are largely unknown to tourists today.

1050 AD - The Rajputs

With the advent of hostility with the Arab states to the north, the legendary Rajput Kingdoms formed in north India, and its warriors began to combat the invaders. Some of the more interesting conflicts of medieval times occurred here, as the Arab, Turkic, Persian and Central Asian forces desperatly desired the riches of India, which as mentioned earlier, was the largest economy of the world at the time. While much of Indian history is badly recorded due to the non-materialistic philosophy of the Buddhist, Jain and Hindu doctrines, which didnt place importance on the idea of glory, outsides recorded these conflicts, in great detail. Many of the Arab and Turkic nomads and warlords would commit atrocities, similar to how Alexander once did in ancient times, destroying ancient monuments or taking thousands of slaves to Baghdad, and then attempt to justify it as religiously motivated, but the primary cause of the fighting was a desire for the vast economic riches of India

1280 AD

Around the time of 1200 AD was when the first of the Delhi sultanates formed in India, in the form of the 'Slave dynasty' of the north. The Sultan conqueror of this area adopted many slaves as his sons, hence the name of the dynastry. Under the pressure of the many groups of invaders from the north, the Rajput Kingdom shrunk in size into what would later become Rajputana or Rajastan. The Delhi sultanates didnt manage to last long, as they considered themselves detatched from the Indian people - leading to impossibility of maintaining long-term governorship. They quickly fragmented, and the minority was again absorbed itno the general Indian population.

1320 AD - Arrival of Turko-Arabs

Following the Slave dynasty, the Turks of the Khilji Empire managed to extend their rule, into what was to become the first of the Sultanates to govern the majority of north India, (this can be compared in significance to the conquering of the 'Han' Chinese by the Mongols and later the Manchurians).
It is during these times that the sacking of monuments on a large scale began, sometimes out of the need of the invaders to build things from their materials, sometimes just for the iconoclasm which some of the Sultans, believed in or used as a reason. It is important to remember that while some Sultans acted in this way, just as many were fair rulers and patrons of Indic faith and culture. Whatever the reasons were, it is unfortunate that India lost so much ancient history due to such people as Ghazni. In a testiment to their prowess and power, the Rajputs managed to survive, despite being surrounded by a hostile invader, and would eventually play a part in the fragmentation of this dynasty.

1400 AD - The Vijaynagar Empire

The overstretched Sultanate didnt last long in the face of internal frangmentation and resistance to policy that angered the majority of its subjects, leading to the creation of the Vijanagara Empire in the Deccan.
The capital Vijaynagar, was where modern Europeans visited India for the first time, in the form of a Portuguese trading party. The main road of the city Vijanagar was said to be the most opulent place in the world - the Portuguese saw vendors selling precious gems like they were food at the street-stalls, and couldnt believe it, having arrived from Europe, which was poor by comparison. Today the ruins of Hampi in Karnataka mark the site of Vijaynagar city, which was, like other Indian cities such as Pataliputra and Delhi before it, the largest in the world at the time, and a center of global trade.
In addition, the Rajput Maharajas remained standing under the onslaught of yet more northern warlords from Bactria and Afghanistan, building some of the greatest palaces, and some of north-India's finest culture. It was around this time that things like the classical sitar were invented - through a fusion of foriegn stringed instuments, and the ancient Indian ones such as the veena.

1630 AD - Mughal Sultanate

The Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan had conquered much of asia, including China and Persia, forming the largest land empire in the history of the world. But they had not managed to conquer India, perhaps in part due to the resistance of the Rajputs and other dynasties, and in part due to the mountains of the Himalayas and Kush. When his empire fragmented into a few large states - including a shamanistic and Buddhist one in Siberia, a Buddhist Chinese one, and a Persian Muslim one, many of his ancestors thought of replicating the Great Khan's short lived Empire - one such Mongol decendant was the Persio-Mongol Babur - who targeted India. Invading with Mongol speed, he managed to overun the north of India, establishing the Mughal Empire, which his successors like Akbar would later expand to include virtually the entire of modern India.
But unlike the short lived warlords of the Sultanates, the Mughal Emperors applied the same Mongol openess to any culture that they had when conquering the rest of asia - allowing themselves to become absorbed and intigrated with Indian culture, employing the Rajputs and other local Maharajas as their standing army providers, marrying Indian royalty, and becoming patrons of culture. After a lucrative dynasty, the Emperor Aurangzeb began his rule in ignorance of political reality - instead prefering puritanical zealotry to wise state policies. Thus, the Mughal rulership fragmented, due to policies such as the Jizya tax, which offended the majority of Mughal subjects, and led to fragmentation of Mughal ties with the Rajputs and other Maharajas, who provided support.
It was the opulence of the Emperors of India such as Akbar, and their fame travelling to Europe, which painted in the British and European mind the riches of India, attracting European attempts to reach India via ship. It was during one of these attempts at reaching India, that a European explorer discovered the American continent, hence the name 'American Indian' when talking of native American tribes and states.

1800 AD - Marathi Empire, Punjab and Mysore

This was complicated period of Indian history, which saw the end of the rule of the Mughals and the birth of the Marathi Confedracy under Shivaji, who rose agaist the imposition of unfavorable policy on the majority of Indians, by a minority. Other states also rebelled - Punjab under the leadership of Ranjit Singh, the Rajput Maharajas, and Mysore under the leadership of Tippu.
As more Europeans began gaining footholds in the subconenent, the British established rule in Bengal, through negotiation with the weak remnants of the Mughals. Great leaders such as Shivaji fought their attempts to gain territory, but India eventually fell before the old Roman ploy of divide-and-conquer, in which various groups and kingdoms were played against each other, creating resentment that would weaken them in face of British conquest.

1860 AD - The British Raj

The Indian Maharajas who had been played off by the British found themselves mear figureheads in the midst of colonial domination of the subcontienent. Ironically, the British themselves were uniting 'Bharata' under their rule. With the advent of rebellion against this hegemony by their own Indian soldiers, the British assumed direct control over the Indian subcontienent with Queen Victoria declared Empress of India - but had already laid the foundation of their ultimate downfall, by inciting the population.

1947 AD - Swaraj and Partition

India after British departure, circa 1947. The states of Pakistan, Sikkim, Nepal, Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Goa, and the Maldives, were not part of the Indian union created. The ruler of Bhutan chose to quit the Indian union as per the partition treaty, in which pricely states had to choose between indepence, or joining the two new states. Pakistan fought a war with India over Kashmir when its Maharaja chose to remain independent, which led to the creation of the current Line of Control

1975 AD

After the reorginisation of serveral new provinces based on linguistics, and the acqisition of Goa from the Portuguese, this is how India looks today. In 1971, Bangladesh declared indepence from Pakistan, creating the modern state of Bangladesh.

That is the end of this guide. Hope you enjoyed reading about the past - history is interesting. Id just like to add, I welcome any questions and discussions, and will try to elaborte for anyone who is interested. Infact please do discuss, because I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this interesting history. History should be examined in a non-biased and detacted way, no matter what the subject, or it may lead to false ideas like right-wing nationalism, as it has done in many countries with religious extreamism.
A modern state cannot be based on exclusionary ideas like ethnicity or religion, but must be based on ideas of equality and tolerance for any cultural practice - cultural divides are mainly human constructs which have no basis in science - each person is an individual, and cannot be grouped with any other individual. Thus modern India is not based on some idea of this common history, but on the idea of 'unity in diversity' - there is no place for the supression of human expression, as happens in many other states, who base their ideas on a monolithic and glorified view of hsitory and religion

Pavilion where Mumtaz is said to be buried

Now Read This.......

No one has ever challenged it except Prof. P. N. Oak, who believes the whole world has been duped. In his book Taj Mahal: The True Story, Oak says the
Taj Mahal is not Queen Mumtaz's tomb but an ancient Hindu temple palace of Lord Shiva (then known as Tejo Mahalaya ) . In the course of his research O ak discovered that the Shiva temple palace was usurped by Shah Jahan from then Maharaja of Jaipur, Jai Singh. In his own court ch ronicle, Badshahnama,
Shah Jahan admits that an exceptionally beautiful grand mansion in Agra was taken from Jai SIngh for Mumtaz's burial . The ex-Maharaja of Jaipur still
retains in his secret collection two orders from Shah Jahan for surrendering the Taj building. Using captured temples and mansions, as a burial place for dead courtiers and royalty was a common practice among Muslim rulers.

For example, Humayun,Akbar, Etmud-ud-Daula and Safdarjung are all buried in such mansions. Oak's inquiries began with the name of Taj Mahal. He says
the term "Mahal " has never been used for a building in any Muslim countries from Afghanisthan to Algeria. "The unusual explanation that the term Taj Mahal derives from Mumtaz Mahal was illogical in atleast two respects.
Firstly, her name was never Mumtaz Mahal but Mumtaz-ul-Zamani," he writes. Secondly, one cannot omit the first three letters 'Mum' from a woman's name to derive the remainder as the name for the building."Taj Mahal, he claims, is a corrupt version of Tejo Mahalaya, or Lord Shiva's Palace . Oak also says the love story of Mumtaz and Shah Jahan is a fairy tale cre ated by court sycophants, blundering historians and sloppy archaeologists Not a single royal chronicle of Shah Jahan's time corroborates the love story.

Furthermore, Oak cites several documents suggesting the Taj Mahal predates Shah Jahan's era, and was a temple dedicated to Shiva, worshipped by Rajputs of Agra city. For example, Prof. Marvin Miller of New York took a few samples from the riverside doorway of the Taj. Carbon dating tests revealed that the door was 300 years older than Shah Jahan. European traveler Johan Albert Mandelslo,who visited Agra in 1638 (only seven years after Mumtaz's death), describes the life of the cit y in his memoirs. But he makes no reference to the Taj Mahal being built. The writings of Peter Mundy, an English visitor to Agra within a year of Mumtaz's death, also suggest the Taj was a noteworthy building well before Shah Jahan's time.

Prof. Oak points out a number of design and architectural inconsistencies that support the belief of the Taj Mahal being a typical Hindu temple rather than a mausoleum. Many rooms in the Taj ! Mahal have remained sealed since Shah Jahan's time and are still inaccessible to the public. Oak asserts they contain a headless statue of Lord Shiva and other objects commonly used for worship rituals in Hindu temples Fearing political backlash, Indira Gandhi's government t ried to have Prof. Oak's book withdrawn from the bookstores, and threatened the Indian publisher of the first edition dire consequences . There is only one way to discredit or validate Oak's research.

The current government should open the sealed rooms of the Taj Ma hal under U.N. supervision, and let international experts investigate.Do circulate this to all you know and let them know about this reality.....

Weight Loss Food..

2008-11-01T04:31:00.000-07:00

Citrus Fruits like, oranges and limes contain high concentrations of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). This Vitamin C has a fat burning quality. Vitamin C reduces the effectiveness of fat. It reduces its content and can liquefy or dilute fat. By diluting the fat, it makes it less effective, and easier to flush out of your system. Vitamin C also works on cholesterol deposits. By adding Citrus Fruits to your daily diet, you will greatly increase your metabolism, increase your ability to get rid of fat, and also control your cholesterol levels.

Add applesauce (it's loaded with pectin), apples, fresh fruit and berries, to your diet and let the power of pectin pulverize the fat that accumulates on your cells. An apple a day can help keep the fat away

Cucumbers are usually used in many salads, besides tasting great their high water content adds to your bulk hence making you feel full. They can be consumed before every meal which will greatly help you from over-eating

Berries contain a chemical call pectin. Pectin limits the amount of fat your cells can absorb. This will put a natural limitation on the amount of fat your cells can absorb. Pectin, once in your system, has a water binding property, it absorbs watery substances, and these watery substances in turn bombards the cells and makes it release fat deposits.

Garlic oil or the juice of garlic has a significant protective quality to cells which help to reduce fatty deposits. When taken, it brings down the levels of fat. Garlic, garlic oil, or anything with garlic, also has an antibiotic property to it and can be used to cure many ailments.
Breakfast cereals are typically heavily processed foods, and most of their original micronutrients, like vitamins or minerals, are removed during the food-processing. However, most breakfast cereals are fortified with added vitamins and minerals, making them a convenient source of most B-vitamins, vitamin D and several minerals including iron. Wholegrain breakfast cereals (eg. granola, muesli, oats) are typically rich in natural B-vitamins, soluble fiber (which helps to lower cholesterol) and have a lower GI-value than regular refined cereals.

Beauty Tips For EYES....

2008-10-31T03:23:00.000-07:00

The eyes are the part of the face we notice first. This is why it's important to make sure that your eyes look their best when attending to your makeup and care routine. Following are some great beauty tips for your eyes, no matter who you are.

Healthy eyes are beautiful eyes. If your eyes are swollen, red, or otherwise unhealthy, no amount of makeup is going to disguise this fact. If you wear contact lenses, make sure that you attend to all the care instructions for them. Also, protect your eyes by using cosmetics with sunscreen included.

When putting on eye makeup, make sure it goes with the rest of your look. Too many women forget that while the eyes are important, they must be in harmony with the rest of the face. Choose eye makeup that goes with what you're wearing, and with the look you choose on the rest of your face. Don't let your features go to war with each other to be the most prominent – you'll have to choose whether you want the focus to be on your lips or eyes, for instance. Overdoing it can just look garish.

Lay a good base. A layer of foundation on your eyelids will help smooth out imperfections and help your eye shadow and liner look their best.

Choose a color theme. This doesn't meant that you have to use a monochrome scheme for your eye makeup, but it does mean that it's a good idea to keep an idea of color harmony in mind as you apply your makeup. The colors that will work best for you depend on your skin tone.

Pay attention to your eye shape. What works on one person won't necessarily look good on another. Figuring out what shape and set your eyes are can go a long way to helping you get the right look.

Select quality cosmetics. It really matters whether or not your makeup is high quality. Don't let your tools work against you just because you can get a cheaper brand. You'll never achieve the same looks you can with a better brand.

Use specialized cleansers to remove your makeup. Soap and water are harsh and can irritate the eyes. Specially formulated eye cleansers are gentle, but made to remove old cosmetics.

Use darker, more heavily made up looks at night. Daytime requires a more natural look. Apply mascara on the tips of the lashes only, and save the liquid liner for evenings. Harsh makeup in daylight can look overdone or silly.

Soften over-prominent eyes. Just because the eyes are the first thing we pay attention to doesn't meant that they must be the focus of every look. If you feel that your eyes are too prominent, apply medium shadow and don't use highlights. This will make them appear deeper-set.

Keep up to date on the latest looks. If you've been doing your eyes the same way for years, you can look dated without knowing it. Pay attention to what other people are wearing as well as the latest makeup styles, and form a look that's your own.

How To Curl Your Hair....

2008-10-31T01:36:00.000-07:00

Why People Curl Hair?

Apart from the style quotient, curling is a great way to add body to any hair type and length, except when it’s really short. It’s one of those ‘ready wash and go’ hair styles that frees you from the hassles of blow-drying and setting. Moreover, there are so many varied curly hairstyles – tight curls, waves, maggi curls, etc. –that choosing one should not be difficult at all. You can either curl your hair by yourself at home or get the help of a professional from a good saloon.

Important Aspects One should be Aware of Prior Curling Hair Your hair will refuse to take the curls if it’s colored. You will only end up spoiling your hair if you still get your colored / streaked hair curled. This is truer in the case of permanent hair curling.

Do not go for permanent curls (or perms) if your hair is weak. This is because weak hair cannot easily withstand hard chemicals used during curling. To find out if your hair is healthy or weak, put few strands in a glass of water. If they sink, it means your hair is weak because it is soaking up moisture.

Thick hairs take curls more easily than fine hairs. The tightness of the curls will depend on the size of the curling rod. Depending upon hair length and thickness, a permanent curly hairstyle will sustain for a minimum of two months and a maximum of six months.

How to Curl Straight Hair using Curling Iron?

While you can get your hair curled by a hair stylist, you can also choose to curl them at home. Just follow the instructions given below. The duration for curling hair can vary between 30 minutes and one hour depending upon the length and thickness of hair.

Things you will need:

Volumizing spray

Straightening balm (if you have thick, course hair)

Hair dryer

A one-inch barrel curling iron

Ponytail holder and bobby pins

Shine serum
Hairspray
Saltwater spray

How to Curl Your Hair? – The Process

After washing your hair, flip them upside down and spray volumizing hair-spray on roots. Massage it in. If your hair is rough, then apply a bit of straightening balm. Gently brush your hair as it will work the hair products you just applied very evenly throughout. Blow dry them straight beginning from the roots adding volume. Alternate with cold air.

Part your hair into three sections, securing each with a ponytail holder. Next you will use a wide-barrel curling iron to curl your hair. So deal with one section at a time. Take neat bunches of hair now and sprit it with styling hair spray. To curl the hair, wrap it around the barrel of a curling rod.

Release the curl after about seven to ten minutes. Hold the hair in the curler for a longer duration if you want tighter ringlets. Alternating the direction will make the curl appear more natural. Once the pinned curls have cooled, free them from the curling iron.

Do not brush your hair. On the other hand, separate the curls with your fingers. To add shine, spray on some hair serum. Take care not to overdo the hairspray if do not want your curls to feel crunchy.

weight loss without exercise

2008-10-25T20:56:00.000-07:00

I found this article from net surfinghope u'll enjoy reading it

Here, 25-year-old student Rohit Daga shares how he dropped 16 kilos in three months flat:
I always hated exercising, so when I gained some weight in college I considered trying an alternate way of losing weight.
I am 5' 8" tall and weighed 71 kgs at that point of time. Though it did not embarrass me, the "feel good" factor was just not there with that kind of weight.
So, I set out to drop the excess baggage. I do not like carbonated drinks, so soft drinks were the first to be removed from the consumption list. Then I stopped eating sweets, chocolates, cakes, butter, cheese and potatoes (and everything made from potatoes like chips and vadas).
I drastically cut down my sugar consumption; it just added too many calories. In addition to these measures, I would drink lots of water. I found that drinking about eight litres of water a day could do wonders for your body. Besides, it is a good way of detoxifying your system.
I love fruits; and so increased the amount of fruits and vegetables I consumed. Papaya, cucumber, tomatoes, onions and carrots became an important part of my daily diet.
In the evenings, I would usually get very hungry and I'd order junk food. That is something I targeted. I started to eat a cucumber and a tomato in the evenings; they have a lot of water and satisfy your hunger as well. I stopped eating while watching TV. What I realised was that when I eat while watching TV, I tend to eat more than was necessary. So I just cut it out altogether.
My daily diet was as follows:
Breakfast: Cornflakes and hot milk (300 ml) or 1 plate of idli (two pieces) or a small plate of papaya
Lunch: Two rotis, cooked vegetable, one onion and half a cup of curds Evening: One glass of sweet lime or orange juice (without sugar), one cucumber (medium sized) and one tomato (medium sized) Dinner: Two rotis and cooked vegetables Late night snack: One carrot (medium sized)
Apart from this, I made sure I was not seated for more than 30 minutes at a stretch. I would just take a walk for two minutes or drink some water, which helped me keep burning more calories. I also stopped using lifts and escalators. Instead, I started using the stairs, which also really helped.
Over a three-month period, I lost 16 kilos and went from weighing 71 kg to 55 kg. So, although I didn't need to lose a lot of weight, the method obviously produced results.
Many people will recommend various methods for how to lose weight. However, you need to adopt a weight-loss plan that suits your personality. If you hate exercising, there is no point trying to do it against your wishes, you will just not enjoy it.
I did not like butter or colas, so I could cut it out of my diet without any regrets. I love ice cream though, and did not give it up. I just rationed it to once a fortnight. During this 3-month period, I enjoyed what I ate and was also happy doing it. I also did not spend any additional time on exercise, but managed to lose the weight.
So, make sure your plan is in-sync with your personality and something that keeps you happy.

Healthy Hair Everyone wants to have shiny, lustrous, thick hair with no breakages and split-ends. However, it mostly depends on your knowledge about the hair itself and how to care for it. If you want healthy hair that shines with all it's strength then read on! These steps are simple and natural tips for healthy hair.

Treat your hair gently like old lace. That means you have to comb your hair carefully and not just rake the comb through it.

Choose the right combs. The best ones are made of natural bristle like a boar bristle brush. They help to spread the natural oil throughout your hair and they are softer on your hair.Do not wash your hair too often. The recommended number of times you should wash your hair is 2-4 times a week unless your hair is oily and needs to be washed every day.

Do not use baby shampoo on your hair. Baby shampoo is meant for babies. Baby shampoo bottles may say the the shampoo is gentle, but the truth is that the shampoo has too much of an alkaline content. This means it drys your hair out because it just makes build up on your hair.Almost all shampoos claim to instantly make your split-ends disappear. Actually, the only way to get rid of split-ends is to cut them off.

Your hair needs to be trimmed every 2-3 months. You just need to trim off dry ends of your hair that may progress to split-ends

Always pat dry with a towel. Rubbing can easily break the small capillaries under the facial skin and cause redness and fine "spider lines" if you have skin prone to this. Rubbing may also cause bacteria to spread; theoretically, this might lead to spreading pimples, although acne is more likely to be caused by dietary or genetic afflictions.

Warnings:

Don't use this remedy if you are allergic to papaya or other tropical fruit, such as mango.
Avoid touching your face too often as this will transfer the oils from your hands to your face, making it oily and irritated.

Use lemon juice directly from the lemon on areas affected with blackheads two to three times a day. The juice will help tighten your pores and make the environment of the face less prone to blackheads. Limes will work just as well if no lemons are available.

Rose & Oatmeal Mask

This treatment is great to get rid of the blackheads you already have and prevent future break outs. Mix oatmeal powder with rose water to make a paste. Spread the paste on your face with fingertips and allow it to sit for 15 minutes before rinsing. Focus on the T-zone and other problems areas like the chin. Rinse this blackhead removing mask off with cold water. The cold water closes the newly cleaned pores, protecting against future blackheads.

Potatoes

Grated raw potatoes can be used to treat all kinds of skin problems including pimples, wrinkles, whiteheads and blackheads. Pack potatoes directly on problem areas to extract blackheads.

Radish Seeds

A paste made out of ground radish seeds and water applied to the face right on the site of a blackhead is an effective blemish remover. Leave the paste on for about 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

Watch Movies in Ms Paint!!!!!!

2008-10-15T18:01:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, did you know that you can watch movies in paint ? But u can't do anything(Just watch it when its playing in Winamp... hope no use other than just experimenting..)

Here's what you gotta do :

1.Open your favourite movie player and play the move (I played the .mpg format in Winamp)

2.Hit "PrintScreen", keep playing the movie in the player, dont stop it.

3.Open MsPaint.

4.Select "Edit>Paste" Or Hit "CTRL+V"

You can watch movies in Paint!

But there are no Pause, Next, Previous, Stop etc. buttons

Spead this fact to all your friends and show how COOL things you can do with Paint!

Experiment with other formats too, it doesn't play DivX , Flash movies, etc. Microsoft hasn't revealed this i think. MsPaint is GREAT

Please post your reply...so that i can show more interest in providing someother interesting facts

the actual Credit to all of this, goes to the a user who provided this information on net.....

Hundreds of Free Mobile Games with In Game Ads

2008-10-04T14:03:00.001-07:00

We touched this subject before like when we wrote about the deal behind the battlefield free online game at the beginning of 2008. We were discussing about a new free online version of this video game available for free, being supported by advertising and micro payments.Free online games supported by in-game ads is a smart idea and is really working without bothering gamers during the gameplay. Now we have another alternative launched a few days ago by 123play, which became the Europe’s best source of free mobile gaming available in UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.123play is provided by Mobile Advertising Solution for mobile handsets, and users can choose from 800 different games to download and play on the go. The advertising appears when the game is launched and after the gaming ends, so users can click on one of the 2 ads if they like and land on mobile websites. In addition, if you play the same game several times a day you’ll see the ads only the first time you launch it, and if you are willing to pay a small amount of money all games become 100% free, with no ads.You have games available from the most famous creators such as THQ Wireless, RealArcade, Vivendi Games Mobile and Hands-On Mobile, all supported by more than 800 mobile handset models.“With today’s launch we’ve made the best mobile games even better – by making them free for anyone to download” said Markus Ramark, CEO of 123play.com “There’s no other service out there that brings together great games and advertising from leading brands, wraps them together, and makes it as easy as 1, 2, 3 to play.”

Disable or remove shutdown

2008-10-04T13:51:00.001-07:00

=> remove shutdown from start menu and also from all other possible options.

=> hide shutdown from start menu

=> disable shutdown all togetherlearn to do it now!!! (it takes less than a minute to do so)Disclaimer: this is an article which just brings out the fact that removing

shut down menu option from the start menu is possible. If you however get caught by your manager or college system administrator, and get whipped in your ass, I cannot be held responsible. This tool is a inbuilt tool present in windows XP, just like msgconfig. So you

got to execute this command using run. 1 . Start ->run and type gpedit.msc The gpedit stands for group policy and you can do wonders using this. Also if

you a minute with your pal’s system and this pal tries to flirt your girl friend

- You can make a lot of changes to his system in the time he leaves you alone with his system, to have him go bonkers.

2. User configuration -> administrative Templates -> start menu and taskbar -> 3. This option opens up a pane on the right hand side. Identify the option named - Remove SHUT DOWN on the start menu . 4. Double click Remove SHUT DOWN on the start menu option 5. a small screen pops up and you may like to read about the explanation in the EXPLAIN TAB before you change the settings. 6. Just change the radio button TO ENABLED and say apply. 7. DONE. No need to log off or restart the system. (You may however have to find

a way to restart your system.) 8. This option disables the log off option from the system. From the start menu,

also from the life saver – three buttons CTRL - ALT - DEL options. This option goes well with the HIDING THE LOG OFF FROM START MENU… (To shut down ur systemithout using frm shut down menu) The solution is that u can switch user thru task manager (alt+ctrl+del) or by pressing winkey+L where u get the option to turn off ur compy/restart/stand

or u may create a shortcut using this shortcut location to shutdown ur sys %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s to restart, u can use this shortcut %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -r

Increase Your Cable Modem or DSL Speed in XP

2008-10-04T13:41:00.000-07:00

Increase Your Cable Modem or DSL Speed in XP

This tweak is for broad band cable connections on stand alone machines with WinXPprofessional version - might work on Home version also. It may also work with networkedmachines as well.

This tweak assumes that you have let WinXP create a connection on install for yourcable modem/NIC combination and that your connection has tcp/ip - QoS - file and printsharing - and client for Microsoft networks , only, installed. It also assumes thatWinXP will detect your NIC and has in-box drivers for it. If it doesn't do not trythis.

In the "My Network Places" properties (right-click on the desktop icon and chooseproperties), highlight the connection

then at the menu bar choose "Advanced" then "Advanced Settings". Uncheck the twoboxes in the lower half for the

bindings for File and Printer sharing and Client for MS networks. Click OK.· From the Windows XP CD in the support directory from the support cab, extract thefile netcap.exe and place it in a

directory on your hard drive or even in the root of your C:\ drive.

Next, open up a command prompt window and change directories to where you putnetcap.exe. then type "netcap/?".

It will list some commands that are available for netcap and a netmon driver will beinstalled. At the bottom you will

see your adapters. You should see two of them if using a 3Com card. One will be forLAN and the other will be for

WAN something or other.

Next type "netcap/Remove". This will remove the netmon driver.· Open up Control Panel->System->Dev Man and look at your network adapters. Youshould now see two of them and one will have a yellow ! on it. Right-click on the onewithout the yellow ! and choose uninstall. YES! You are uninstalling your networkadapter, continue with the uninstall. Do not restart yet.

Check your connection properties to make sure that no connection exists. If you geta wizard just cancel out of it.

Now re-start the machine.

After re-start go to your connection properties again and you should have a newconnection called "Local area connection 2". Highlight the connection, then at the menubar choose "Advanced" then "Advanced Settings". Uncheck the two boxes in the lower half

for the bindings for File and Printer sharing and Client for MS networks. Click OK.

Choose connection properties and uncheck the "QOS" box.

Re-start the machine.

After restart enjoy the increased responsiveness of IE, faster page loading, and aconnection speed boost.

Why it works, it seems that windows XP, in its zeal to make sure every base is coveredinstalls two separate versions of the NIC card. One you do not normally see in anyproperties. Remember the "netcap/?" command above showing two different adapters? The LAN

one is the one you see. The invisible one loads everything down and its like your runningtwo separate cards together, sharing a connection among two cards, this method breaksthis "bond" and allows the NIC to run un-hindered.
