However, as high school science students in the State of Louisiana, you are entitled to learn an alternative theory supported by no scientific evidence whatsoever! It goes like this. 5,700 years ago, a male deity created the heavens and earth and all life on it in six days… Unfortunately, he didn’t like his own handwork, so god created genocide and drowned everyoen on earth except the family of Noah, a 600-year-old man who was charged with saving animals…” A student interrupts Mr. Stiller, asking him to stop. Siller concludes… “Almost done, so Noah took two of everything including microbes, but forgot the dinosaurs…” Source: Pagan Literal Related Posts:Everything I need to know about Life…AjayDSouza.com is now on FacebookGod?Movie Review: WALL-EAnd then God created ManPowered by Contextual Related PostsWhat happened to the dinosaurs…. was first posted on February 3, 2012 at 8:30 am.© 2003-2009 "Ajay - On the Road called Life".

It’s the time of cheer and happiness with the place all lit up and decorated. I usually spend Christmas in Mumbai with an exception being last year, when I was stuck in London waiting for my visa. This year, I booked my tickets in early August to take advantage of prices when booking early. I must admit that I am sceptical of this so called price advantage! Come December, as expected the pressures at work go through the roof as everyone tries to complete 31 days work in 15 before Europe and the UK starts to slow down for the holiday period. In my line of work, the word slow down is a mirage and this year was no exception. Anyway, I flew BA to Mumbai on 15 December. The flight was rather uneventful, though severely delayed due to strong winds at London Heathrow. We reached around 40 minutes late at Mumbai airport. Ever since the privatisation of Mumbai airport, we have seen drastic improvements in the infrastructure and going through immigrations is usually a breeze. This time I had to wait a while since quite a few flights seemed to have landed at the same time. One major issue at Mumbai airport is the terrible state of the baggage handling facilities. I have had to wait for at least 15-20 minutes for my baggage and this time it was a lot worse. After a rather long wait, that seemed like eternity in a terminal that seemed like a furnace my lone yellow bag rambled down the conveyor belt towards me. I managed to fish out the bag and slowly made my way through a sea of people all waiting for their luggage. With no trolleys available on a seemingly busy night, the wheels of my bags were put in motion as I spent another 20 minutes for the pre-paid taxis. By now, you would have expected that somebody would have realised that the biggest delays at the airport are the baggage handling facilities and the pre-paid taxis! My stay in Mumbai was a lot more pleasant, which saw me visit several restaurants, few shops, a mall and a hospital. And, of course try to get some work done during my supposed “core leave”. Though, this time it was very limited since I wasn’t at home most of the time. I made my way back to London on 2 Jan, taking advantage of the long weekend. It was back to work after I landed and back to grind for little over a month. My next trip to Mumbai is in another 45 days!

And, as my Christmas gift to you all, I have released v1.8 of Top 10. This version is a relatively large update with major reason being better thumbnail support. I have also cleaned up the code a bit and included some minor adjustments that should make your mySQL server happy (especially if you do not display excerpts). The main changes are thanks to code from Daedalon. Changes

Added: Support for Video Thumbnails plugin Added: Thumbnail settings now reflect max width and max height instead of fixed width and height Added: Option to display thumbnails before or after the title Added: Option to not display thumbnails instead of the default thumbnail Added: Counts are now neatly formatted with commas Modified: Minor tweaks to improve performance

As usual, you can grab Top 10 from its WordPress page or if you’re already a user, you can update it from within your WordPress admin area.

Uninstall programs on Mac – One such task http://ajaydsouza.net/items/view/3060 Learning how to uninstall programs on Mac is a very simple task, but this is something that confuses many users’ especially first timers. Removing programs from a Windows computer operating system based machine requires the user to go to the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel and the select the programs that the user which to uninstall. But in a Mac this process is very different. Uninstalling programs is one such task, and there are two different ways in which you can achieve this. Remember that there are two kinds of programs that will be presented on your Mac namely bundled programs and unbundled programs. The bundled programs can be removed very quickly because all their bundled files are in one single location. Unbundled programs will require some extra manual work of removing preferences, saved data and other such files. If you fail to remove these other files, they will take up unnecessary space on your hard drive and create clutter in the future. As mentioned earlier, there are methods of removing programs and applications from your Mac. This article will give you details about both of these methods. Method# 1 for Bundled Programs There are few steps involved in this method, but this is more suitable for your bundled programs. Since all the additional files are in the same location it is easier to get rid all of them at the same time. Here are the steps for carrying out the same.

Double click on the “Macintosh HD” button on the desktop. You will then see all the contents on hard drive in the form of Applications, System and Library. Double click n the “Applications’ icon”. This will show you all the applications and programs that are installed on your machine. Click on the applications that you wish to remove and drag them to the Trash Bin on your desktop. This will successfully uninstall them. Alternatively, you can press the Ctrl button when you are reviewing the list application. Click on the “Move to Trash” option and then select the applications that you wish to uninstall.

Please note that if you are using this method, you will need to go to their folders and move all those file to the Trash Bin separately as well. Leaving these files on the hard drive is not advisable. Method # 2 for Unbundled Programs This method will use some third party application or removal tool. This is more suitable for unbundled programs, as these tools remove all associated files and data as well. Most of these tools work in a similar fashion to the Add/Remove option on Windows operating system. You just view all the applications that are on your machine (bundled and unbundled) and then you proceed to remove them from a common and easy to use interface. You can even use the features of these tools to find all the associated files and then remove them easily.
