8. Insert the game CD or Mount ISO from the CD Menu and install the game you want to play.
9. Thats All!

More
You can install any Windows version but i prefer Windows 2000 as its very lightweight. If you want to play games like Age of Empires it will work fine in it. If you want to play those old NFS II, III games then they might not work on Windows 2000 or XP, so you will need Windows 98/ME for that.

Enjoy!

People: Howard Hughes

Howard Hughes

"I am by nature a perfectionist, and I seem to have trouble allowing anything to go through in a half-perfect condition. So if I made any mistake it was in working too hard and in doing too much of it with my own hands." - Howard Hughes describing his way of working and the mistakes made in building the "Spruce Goose."

Howard Robard Hughes Jr. (1905-1976) was arguably the most secretive and self-destructive man ever to win fame in Southern California’s two glamour industries --- movies and aviation. Hughes was certainly an American original, and to many he represented the ultimate unconventional Californian.

What is your Birth Flower?

Similar to a birthstone and an astrological sign, there are birth flowers which have a corresponding meaning and character that is being attributed to the person who was born during a certain month. Check out your birth flower and consequent personality traits:

1. January Birth Flower – Carnations : People who are born during January have carnation as their birthday flower. It is also known as gillyflower and clove pink and is widely harvested in many different colours and varieties. The name of the flower is derived from the Greek word corone (coronation) and means 'flower of the Gods'.

Flower Meaning of Carnation : Carnations symbolise deep love, fascination, a friend in adversity and eternal fidelity.

Personality traits associated with carnation : Individuals who have carnation as their birth flower are strongly motivated to succeed and gain a position of power in life. They strive for respect and accomplishment in their careers. They are emotional and sensitive and are very responsible and protective towards their families. But the biggest barrier in their success is their communication skills; they need to learn to openly communicate their deep feelings.

Dolphin and Tiger Friendship

What's new pussycat? The dolphin who made friends with a curious tiger

By Sarah Titterton
Last updated at 1:24 AM on 7th March 2009

Like a cat peering into a goldfish bowl, Akaasha the tiger cub is transfixed by a dolphin staring back at her.

Curiosity got the better of both Akaasha and Mavrick, a 14-month-old dolphin who's probably more used to a crowd of human faces gazing into his glass tank at a Californian theme park.

Staff were taking six-month-old Akaasha on her daily walk around the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom when she saw Mavrick, a 14-month-old Atlantic bottlenose dolphin.


Paws for thought: Mavrick and Akaasha have a close encounter as another dolphin looks on

Story About Vegetarianism

This is a short but true story about Loura, a 13 year old girl.

Loura was a young girl who lived with her Parents in Moscow. During school holidays, she would visit her grandmother who lives in a village nearby. Grandmother had a farmhouse which Loura used to love a lot. The farmhouse would be full of hens, turkeys, sheep, goats, cows, rabbits etc. Loura visited her grand mom’s place during the summer holidays and of course she had a great time in the farmhouse. This time, she noticed a cute rabbit which had a good mix of browns and white color. She named him “Pickoo”. Soon, they became close friends and when ever Loura would call “Pickoo” he would draw towards her. Loura used to talk to Pickoo as if he was her true friend. Loura had to get back to her parents due to some emergency. Before leaving from her grandmother’s place she promised Pickoo that she will come back within a week’s time.

One week later…

Loura visited her grandmom’s place along with her parents. On this occasion, her grandmother had prepared varieties of dishes for lunch and Loura enjoyed each and every scoop of it. Immediately after the lunch, she headed towards the farmhouse in search of Pickoo. To her surprise, she didn’t find him. Loura ran to her grandma and asked her where is “Pickoo”? Grandma replied with a gulp, “You had him for Lunch today”. Loura couldn’t believe it. She was shocked. She cursed her grandmother, her parents and herself for this. Probably, this was the most unforgettable moment in her life where she was directly or indirectly responsible for her friend’s brutal death.

Loura was terribly hurt with this incident. She transformed herself into vegetarianism with a promise that she will never ever depend on another life for her living.

I really wish that all non-vegetarians living in this earth, learn their lesson in the same way like Loura did and try to “live and let live”

Chinese Way of Making Cars

Chinese are the best Xerox Machines in the World!!!

Many Chinese manufacturers are also following this easy way of producing cheap cars by imitating successful designs. The Chinese market is often called 'The Gray Market', simply because of their stunning replicas. But hey! These are very good copies of the originals!

One Chinese car company Shuanghuan was banned for selling its BMW X5 look alike called the 'CEO' in the EU and fined a hefty sum. Even cars like the Chevrolet Spark (Geely, China), the Smart fortwo, have not been spared.

1. Chevrolet Spark vs Chery QQ
The QQ became the center of an industrial copyright and intellectual rights controversy, as General Motors claimed the car was a copy to the Daewoo Matiz (which is marketed outside South Korea as the Chevrolet Spark). GM executives demonstrated the extent of the design duplication, noting for example that the doors of the QQ and those of the Spark are interchangeable without modification. This one was so extreme, some parts of one car fit into the other (e.g. door panel, bonnet etc). GM China Group indicated the two vehicles "shared remarkably identical body structure, exterior design, interior design and key components."
