Supernova Explosion

A new image taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope provides a detailed look at the tattered remains of a supernova explosion known ... all » as Cassiopeia A (Cas A).

A supernova such as the one that resulted in Cas A is the explosive demise of a massive star that collapses under the weight of its own gravity. The collapsed star then blows its outer layers into space in an explosion that can briefly outshine its entire parent galaxy.

Bushed Brawn Boat

Gone with the winds, somewhere in the past
The days, an epoch of praise and acclaim
Captain's repute, sailor's bias, a proud eclat
Trading victuals, only source of feed,
Amulet of fortune and wealth,

Time flies and change one's tune
Betterment desist old course
But archaic applies itself hard to carry on
Hauling travelers from one shore to other
Getting disfigured day by day

Irony continues, sold for almost nothing
Helping fisherman's family to survive
Serving needy, to stay alive
Role changed but not the brave heart
Still assisting hard to make it's birth laudable

Time never remains the same, changes do occur
Flowing away with the wild tidal flow
Relishing it's first freedom instead
Epitomizing it's tiring past life
Yearning to spend time with self alone
Bushed Brawn Boat, aheading towards an isolated island

Hope !!

Appearing to be absent, still within the reach
Diminished objective, geared to take rebirth
Bracing the agonized soul to start sensing
Imagine to invent, altering the course of action
Passion of fabricating dreams into reality
Stock of thoughts, stimulating confidence
Cold feet taking emended and steady steps
Dawning will, surpassing boundaries
Hunger of being reinstate at the peak
Forfeited to Sanguinity, this Overhaul is Hope !!!!!!

Strong

Glimpse of a Light, Light of Sunrise
Melody of the Chirp, Chirp of a Bird
Flowery Blossom, and it's Poetic Luster
Delight of a Birth, Birth of a Hope
Strong Enough to Feel ?

Desire of Win, Optimism after Fail
Pleasure of Hold, Courage of Sacrifice
Tough Attitude, a Kind Heart
Skill to Fight, Ability to Negotiate
Strong Enough to Have ??

Cheerful Thoughts, Help to a tear
Shield of Parent, Smile of a Kid
Guide of a Mentor, Comfort of a Friend,
Respect to Aged, Care to Nature
Strong Enough to Give ???

Havasupai Indian Waterfall

Take a journey to the magical blue-green waters of the Havasupai Indian Reservation, to the healing music of Darshan Ambient. These have to be some of the most breathtaking waterfalls in the world. There are three different falls in this video: Havasu, Mooney, and Navajo. It's a ten mile hike through canyon valleys to get there, and it's worth every step.

Configuring Multi Booting of WindowsXp and Red Hat Linux 9 Systems

Instead of using 3rd party software for multibooting try out this :-

To avoid the problem of multibooting of windowsxp and linux on same hard drive,
don't install grub on MBR but install grub at the first sector of /boot partition.

My Case, hope this will help :


first installed windows xp on first primary ntfs partition hda1
then i have d: and e: as logical fat32 drives hda5 & hda6 respectively
then i have /boot partition on hda7, / partition on hda8 and swap as hda9
after installing linux, booted from floppy and in root terminal i typed

mkdir /mnt/d:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /mnt/d:
dd if = /dev/hda7 bs=512 count=1 of=/mnt/d:/linux.bin

then i restarted in windows copied linux.bin image from d: to c:
add the following line to the c:\boot.ini file using notepad.
c:\linux.bin="red hat linux 9" and save it.

now restart the system u will see two option at boot
1. windows xp
2. red hat linux 9

now reinstalling of one operating system cannot interfere with the boot of the other operating system. hope it helped
