Display album art in your music folder thumbnails

If your files are in MP3 format, you can download the album art from the Internet and then customize each folder to display it. But this takes a lot of time. A faster way around is to save each image as 'folder.jpg' and put it in the correct folder. Once you do this, XP will pick up that image and use it as the thumbnail for the folder, and also use the image to display in Windows Media Player while playing songs from the album.

Wooden Temples of Kizhi


Kizhi, one of most popular tourist destinations is an island on Lake Onegain Russia. This, 7 kms long and 0.5 kms wide is associated with many beautiful wooden Churches chapels and houses. Surrounded by 5000 other islands, the access to Kizhi is by cruise ship. The main attractions of this island are the two large wooden churches and a bell-tower. The area inside the perimeter wall of the two churches and the bell tower is known as the Kizhi Pogost in Russia.

The Transfiguration Church built in 1714, which is said to be the jewel of its architecture, contains 22 onion shaped domes. This church also called as the summer church is the tallest log structures in the world with a height of about 30 m tall. Next to it is the smaller; nine domed Intercession Church built in 1764. This is also called as winter church. The third structure inside the Pogost is the bell tower that was built in 1874.

The pine trees were used for constructing the walls of the fabulous structures. These structures were erected without any nails or metal and were made with horizontally fitted logs, though they are covered by exterior wooden planks which cannot be seen. These extremely beautiful structures are said to be the oldest churches in Russia.

Logic of numbers very interesting


Why Numbers like : 1 is One & 2 is two.?????????

have you ever thought why ........

1 means "one", and 2 means "two"?
The roman numerals are easy to understand but what was
the logic behind the Phoenician numbers?
It's all about angles !
It's the number of angles. If one writes the numbers down (see below) on a piece of paper in their older forms, one quickly sees why. I have marked the angles with "o"s.
No 1 has one angle.
No 2 has two angles.
No 3 has three angles.
etc.

and "O" has no angles







Interesting, isn't it?

This is what happens in ZIMBABWE!!!!!

1 US Dollar = 37,456,777 Zimbabwe Dollar

1 Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWD) = 0.00000003 US Dollar (USD)

This is what it looks like in Zimbabwe……………
(Inflation at 231 million percent a year has meant 25 million Zimbabwe dollars equals to

just 1 US dollar)

The pictures below look funny, but the story is really sad……..





Visiting the neighborhood grocer!

Awesome price tag!



This is how people pay in restaurants!

PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY | a very interesting story


Study this wonderful story, Hope that makes a BIG change in YOU


A Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see & asked the students -
"How much do you think this glass weighs?"

'50gms!' .... '100gms!'
.....'125gms'
..the students answered.

"I really don't know unless I weigh it," said the professor," but, my question is:
What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?"

'Nothing' .....the students said.

'OK what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked.

'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student

"You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?"

"Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis &
have to go to hospital for sure!"
..... ventured another student & all the students laughed

"Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?"
asked the professor.

'No'.... Was the answer.

"Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?"

The students were puzzled.

"What should I do now to come out of pain?" asked professor again.

"Put the glass down!" said one of the students

"Exactly!" said the professor. Life's problems are something like this. Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK. Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache. Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.

It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life, but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to 'PUT THEM DOWN' at the end of every day before You go to sleep.
That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh & strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!

So, When you leave office today,

Remember friend to

seven of the most spectacular phenomenal wonders

The classical natural wonders are huge and hard to miss - vast canyons, giant mountains and the like. Many of the most fantastic natural phenomena, however, are also least easy to spot. Some are incredibly rare while others are located in hard-to-reach parts of the planet. From moving rocks to mammatus clouds and red tides to fire rainbows, here are seven of the most spectacular phenomenal wonders of the natural world.



1) Sailing Stones

The mysterious moving stones of the packed-mud desert of Death Valley have been a center of scientific controversy for decades. Rocks weighing up to hundreds of pounds have been known to move up to hundreds of yards at a time. Some scientists have proposed that a combination of strong winds and surface ice account for these movements. However, this theory does not explain evidence of different rocks starting side by side and moving at different rates and in disparate directions. Moreover, the physics calculations do not fully support this theory as wind speeds of hundreds of miles per hour would be needed to move some of the stones.


2) Columnar Basalt

When a thick lava flow cools it contracts vertically but cracks perpendicular to its directional flow with remarkable geometric regularity - in most cases forming a regular grid of remarkable hexagonal extrusions that almost appear to be made by man. One of the most famous such examples is the Giant's Causeway on the coast of Ireland (shown above) though the largest and most widely recognized would be Devil's Tower in Wyoming. Basalt also forms different but equally fascinating ways when eruptions are exposed to air or water.



3) Blue Holes

Blue holes are giant and sudden drops in underwater elevation that get their name from the dark and foreboding blue tone they exhibit when viewed from above in relationship to surrounding waters. They can be hundreds of feet deep and while divers are able to explore some of them they are largely devoid of oxygen that would support sea life due to poor water circulation - leaving them eerily empty. Some blue holes, however, contain ancient fossil remains that have been discovered, preserved in their depths.




4) Red Tides

Red tides are also known as algal blooms - sudden influxes of massive amounts of colored single-cell algae that can convert entire areas of an ocean or beach into a blood red color. While some of these can be relatively harmless, others can be harbingers of deadly toxins that cause the deaths of fish, birds and marine mammals. In some cases, even humans have been harmed by red tides though no human exposure are known to have been fatal. While they can be fatal, the constituent phytoplankton in ride tides are not harmful in small numbers.




5) Ice Circles

While many see these apparently perfect ice circles as worthy of conspiracy theorizing, scientists generally accept that they are formed by eddies in the water that spin a sizable piece of ice in a circular motion. As a result of this rotation, other pieces of ice and flotsam wear relatively evenly at the edges of the ice until it slowly forms into an essentially ideal circle. Ice circles have been seen with diameters of over 500 feet and can also at times be found in clusters and groups at different sizes as shown above.



6) Mammatus Clouds-

True to their ominous appearance, mammatus clouds are often harbingers of a coming storm or other extreme weather system. Typically composed primarily of ice, they can extend for hundreds of miles in each direction and individual formations can remain visibly static for ten to fifteen minutes at a time. While they may appear foreboding they are merely the messengers - appearing around, before or even after severe weather.



7) Fire Rainbows

A circumhorizontal fire rainbow arc occurs at a rare confluence of right time and right place for the sun and certain clouds. Crystals within the clouds refract light into the various visible waves of the spectrum but only if they are arrayed correctly relative to the ground below. Due to the rarity with which all of these events happen in conjunction with one another, there are relatively few remarkable photos of this phenomena.
