Healing Hearts, Divine Delights and Hilarious Thoughts

1))  Praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow come and go like the wind. To be happy, rest like a great tree in the midst of them all. 

2)) I don't know what truth is, but my heart does.

3)) Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. ~ George Bernard Shaw

4)) Louisa May Alcott,
'I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship.'   5)) 'I invoke into my heart and into this space the God of my own understanding. I welcome this essence and grace into my being. May it infuse this day with the love necessary to make my work meaningful, potent and beneficial for all beings. I ask, dear spirit, that my judgment be transformed into understanding, my resistance into surrender and my fear into faith. May I stand in my power and create space and opportunity so that others may stand in their own. May I stay heart centered and available to all the people I meet and greet them with openness and a willingness to share ideas and experience without judgment, prejudice or fear. Expose my assumptions and limited beliefs so that I may grow, and give me the strength to acknowledge these limitations without shame. May the vibration that exists within my heart be offered outward into my community and the universe as a prayer for healing, unity and peace./

6))                                              Everywhere the Divine

God to surround me, God to encompass me;

God in my words, God in my thoughts;

God in my waking, God in my resting;

God in my hoping, God in my doing;

God in my heart, God in my soul;

God in my weakness, God in my strength;

God in my life, God in my eternity;

God in my life, God in my eternity.

~ W. Mary Calvert

Love One Another --  Khalil Gibran

 'Love one another, but make not a bond of love.

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup, but drink not from one cup.

Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone.

Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.

For only the hand of life can contain your hearts.

And stand together, yet not too near together.

For the pillars of the temple stand apart.

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.'

Connecting with your Inner Self

Loving yourself is critical for personal happiness. When you learn to know and accept the true you, miracles happen. You feel at peace with yourself, you're better able to balance the tensions around you, it's easy to be authentic in relationships, and you stop having regrets for what you have or haven't done in your life.

So why is it so difficult to love yourself?

For a large part of our lives we develop habits to protect ourselves, to comply with expectations and to control what happens to us. If you've received messages from significant others in your life that you're not 'good enough,' 'smart enough,' or 'attractive enough,' fear and avoidance become the essence of your life as you try and survive in what is perceived to be a hostile world. Basically, you don't love yourself because you don't view yourself as being loveable.

Consider this: If one person on this planet is loveable, then we're all loveable. Why? Just because we're human. Just because we live and breathe and (mostly) have good intentions. After all, you don't have to be perfect to be loveable. Who is? You just have to be yourself. Maybe smile a little more. Lighten up. Be more accepting. Let go. Love your heart out. Give.

But even if you don't, you're still the only you in the universe. You still have a unique purpose and a reason for being here. Finding out what that is, is a lifelong journey of personal discovery - and you might as well love yourself on the way.

If you want to change something in your life, like your perception of yourself, it takes courage to step into the fear of change and dare to imagine that you are in fact, 'good enough.'

Benjamin Button brings a thought-provoking insight to the notion of how to love yourself towards the end of the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. He says, 'For what it's worth, it's never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit... Start whenever you want.. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things that you have never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life that you're proud of and if you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.'

'Nuff said!

SerialPort (RS-232 Serial COM Port) in C# .NET

Recently i am working on a project in which i have to fetch data from serial port for the identity card authentication. In that i have to store the data in the database after reading it from serial port and after processing it the result will be retrieved.

To refer Microsoft website for this : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.ports.serialport.aspx

To start off, here is sample code in a terminal application which you can try out to see how the SerialPort class is used.  This requires Visual Studio 2010 to compile, which can be obtained free via C# Express.  It is just a simple little application with basic support for text or binary (hex) modes to send and receive data.  A nice feature or two is auto-detection of installed COM ports that update at runtime if you plugin or remove USB-to-Serial adapters, also you can change the DTR and RTS levels and monitor the CTS, DSR, and CD lines.

Build Note: You will receive an error that Visual Studio isn't able to find NoahCode.pfx.  This is expected as it is the click-once certificate for publishing and is NOT NEEDED for normal code use.  Just go to Project Properties > Signing > Click on Create Test Certificate.  that’s it

go to Project Properties > Signing > Click on Create Test Certificate.  that’s it


Get Connected You can obtain USB to Serial adapters and have just about as many ports on your PC as you like. I carry around two adapters with a null modem (wikipedia) between them so I can create a loopback to send & receive through to separate ports on most any computer. I'd recommend doing the same for when writing code for the serial port.
If you'd like to quickly and easily create your own external devices to communicate with the PC, I recommend starting with the Arduino, NetDuino (like an Arduino but programmed in C#), or Parallax BASIC Stamp modules.  All three have many accessories and sensors available (such as LCDs, RF, Sounds, AD & DA, etc).  sparkfun.com is a great place to look. After that you could migrate to an Atmel Microcontroller (recommended) or Microchip PIC.

Why Indian athletes have fallen back in Olympics 2012?

As the Olympics have been just finished on a extraordinary note and everyone bid adieu it with a promise to do better in Rio Olympic. Every Indian fan has followed India in London Olympics, some with the pride and others along with the expected lines of frustration. As the media ”which is the strongest part of our country like any other countries”  had created a hype in the Indians for the Olympics .

Every Indian had expected that this time INDIA will surely perform well and make its presence felt at the international stage. The Indian Olympic association sent the first ever largest contingent in Olympics which raised our hopes of winning more medals.

We are familiar with the winning and losing character of sport that is what makes following the fortunes of one’s country in an event like Olympics that was much more intense and exciting. Much was expected from our archers and some of the boxing hopefuls but those disappointments don’t hurt as much as the hockey debacle. 

When the Olympics 2012 were finished on 12^thththsdjdkjsjdkjskjdjjkiwiue August then we Indians were happy that we have won 6 medals which is the highest ever medal haul in INDIAN history. But if we dwelt the result of London Olympic than we get to know that It was an another disappointing show by the country after its unprecedented success at the Commonwealth and Asian Games in 2010. For this many reasons has been given in the media and newspaper by the sports expert, Columnist and many high level official.

The government also spent the highest ever amount of money for the training of athletes abroad under renowned coaches in United States and Europe. But it was the same old story for India with the country finishing without a medal as has been the case in the past and leaving the biggest sporting arena without making its presence felt in athletics, one of the major attractions in these multi-discipline extravaganzas.

Indian archer team which includes the world champion Dipika Kumari is even failed to give a strong competence in the bout to the competitor. Indian pugilist as expected had performed well but unfortunately it was disappointing that none of them were not able to book the semifinal berth.

The biggest disappointment in the Olympic 2012 was the early exit of the Indian hockey team. Though hockey being national game we finished at the bottom of the table which was a shame for calling ourselves as a hockey champion. The main reason for this was the conflict between India hockey and Indian hockey federation. Because of this the Indian players have to suffer. These kind of matters should have been resolved by the government.

In Tennis India had a fair chance of winning a medal but due to the conflicts between Indian tennis players  the Indian journey in the tennis had ended in the second round. These

At last we would be very thankful to the Recent Indian star of London games that now they will inspire the millions of people to take the sports seriously. In the country like INDIA we Indians especially parent thinks that a student can only be succeeded by the studies which are the main concern for Indian sports.

Overall we cannot say that it was a disappointing show by the Indians in the London games but we could have performed well if our archers, hockey and tennis players had done better. But now by the results of London games the expectation to do well in the game has been raised. Our honorable Sports Minister Mr. Ajay Makan had also said that by 2020 we will able to win 20 gold medals.
