The Ferrari California

   Ferrari is an Italian automotive manufacturer in the Formula One World Championship, also involved in high-end and high-performance racing cars, supercars, and sports cars. The company was founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929. At first, Scuderia Ferrari sponsored drivers and manufactured racing cars; the company went into independent car production in 1946, eventually became Ferrari S.p.A., and is now controlled by the Fiat group. The company is based in Maranello, near Modena, Italy. In 2006, the premium performance brand sold over 1,400 cars in the United States under a strategy to produce one less car than total orders placed.

The Ferrari California is a grand touring sports car that will be launched by Ferrari at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. It is a two door 2+2 hard top convertible. The California will be powered by front-mid mounted 4.3 L (260 cu in) V8 sending a reported 460 PS (450 bhp) to the rear wheels.[1] The car revives the "California" name. It also has a similar design to the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

The California will represent a number of firsts for Ferrari. It will be the

>> first front engined Ferrari with a V8,
>> the first to feature a 7-speed dual clutch transmission,
>> the first with a folding metal roof,
>> the first with multi-link rear suspension and
>> the first with direct petrol injection.

It represents a new, fourth model range for the company.[2]

SMART Goals

If you ask most people what is their one major objective in life, they would probably give you a vague answer, such as, "I want to be successful, be happy, make a good living," and that is it. They are all wishes and none of them are clear goals.

Goals must be SMART:

1. S--specific. For example, "I want to lose weight." This is wishful thinking. It becomes a goal when I pin myself down to "I will lose 10 pounds in 90 days."

2. M--must be measurable. If we cannot measure it, we cannot accomplish it. Measurement is a way of monitoring our progress.

3. A--must be achievable. Achievable means that it should be out of reach enough to be challenging but it should not be out of sight, otherwise it becomes disheartening.

4. R--realistic. A person who wants to lose 50 pounds in~30 days is being unrealistic.

5. T--time-bound. There should be a starting date and a finishing date.

முதல் கவிதை !!!

அவள் முகம் சிவந்தது கோபத்தில், ஆம்
   ரோஜா சிவந்தாலும் அழகுதான் !!!
கண்கள் இமைக்க கூட நேரம் இல்லை, ஆம்
   அவள் அழகை ரசிக்க எனக்கு !!!
 விதியும் மதி இழக்கும், ஆம்
   அவள் முகத்தில் தவழும் புன்னகையில் !!!

Asimov's Three Laws

The Three Laws of Robotics, often shortened to The Three Laws or Three Laws, are a set of three rules written by science fiction author Isaac Asimov and later expanded upon. These rules are built in to almost all positronic robots appearing in his fiction and cannot be bypassed. The rules are introduced in his 1942 short story Runaround although they were foreshadowed in a few earlier stories.

The Three Laws of Robotics are as follows:

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

2. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

E-Class Cabriolet

Cabriolet was originally a French verb that meant “to cavort” or “cut a caper,” but in the 1700s, the term came to be used to describe “a light, two-wheeled horse carriage with a folding leather top.” Later, any carriage for hire became known as a “cab,” hence today’s synonym for a taxi. In the late 1800s, the first motor vehicles were all open cars, with no tops at all. As automobiles developed in the early 1900s, most were still convertibles.

Cabriolet – a Four-Seat Convertible

As the automotive industry evolved through the 1900s, the term “Cabriolet” acquired a specific meaning – a convertible that seats at least four people, in other words, a convertible with a real back seat. While Mercedes-Benz produced some of the world’s most collectible convertibles and Cabriolets across a 120-year history, its modern era began with the launch of the 1993 E-Class Cabriolet, its first four-seat convertible in several decades. A slightly smaller CLK Cabriolet followed in 1999, and a second-generation CLK Cabriolet line was offered through the 2009 model year.

The Ninth-Generation E-Class

The 2011 E-Class Cabriolet joins the all-new E-Class lineup – which debuted last year as the ninth generation of the company’s highly successful model range, with a total of more than 10 million E-Class vehicles produced over the past 70-plus years. Packed with useful, new safety technology, the E-Class is likely to become another industry trend-setter, and now with a full range of cabriolet, wagon, sedan and coupe models, the lineup should appeal to more consumers than ever. [READ MORE: http://www.emercedesbenz.com/autos/mercedes-benz/e-class/2011-mercedes-benz-e-class-cabriolet-derived-from-a-history-of-innovation/]

Adding Third party BSP in Windows CE 6.0

In Windows CE 5.0 and earlier versions, we can add a third party BSP by selection of "Add Catalog Items" in File. But this procedure is truncated and simplified in the latest version (6.0) of WINCE. i.e, We can add a new BSP by just copying the BSP into Platform folder. The Integrated Development Environment (IDE) automatically detect the BSP and add it in "Available BSP list" while creating new workspace. But we need to Restart te IDE once/
