Within that six-month period, they celebrate Valentine's Day, which falls on February 14, and karva chauth, which is usually observed in October. There is no way these two occasions could come between March and September!

Google search tricks
Not every one is advance user of internet when it comes to internet we find so many things but unable to get it all if we try these techniques we will be expertiese in google
Undertaking research is a lot more than typing a few words into a database or search engine, and looking at the results. Sometimes you get thousands and thousands of hits, sometimes the results don’t match what you want, and on other occasions you can’t find anything at all. It’s too easy to spend hours going round and round in circles, getting frustrated, not finding the article you need.
What can you do to find what you need, and quickly?
Firstly, you must definine your topic. Think of individual keywords/terms that express the nature of your topic.
For example, if you are doing research on “the environmental impact of air transport on nearby communities”, your keywords might be: environmental, air transport, and communities.
The words you have chosen may not appear in an article that may be relevant to your research. Therefore it is important to consider similar words that can be used in your search, possibly in different combinations – these are known as Synonyms.
For example: Instead of Try
environmental ecological
air transport airports
community local area
Broader and Narrower Terms
If you find too many hits you may need to use more specific terminology (narrower terms) to define the subject you are searching. In contrast, if you find too few articles you may need to use more general words (broader terms).
For example: narrower terms for air transport could be aeroplane, Boeing, or aircraft, and a broader term for air transport could be transport.
Truncation and Wildcards
You can use “truncation” or a “wildcard” character to include different forms of the same word in your search. Truncation symbols vary, but some common symbols used are
* or # or ?.
For example: artist* would search for artists, artistry, and artistic.
The wildcard symbol serves as a substitute for one character or none, like the blank tiles in a game of Scrabble.
For example: m?cdonald retrieves both mcdonald and macdonald.
Thesaurus
Many databases have standardised words or terms that they use to describe things.
For example: textile (instead of cloth or fabric)
There is often a thesaurus or index available for online databases. By checking it, you can ensure that your search is as accurate as possible. In addition to listing keywords, it may also show related or similar words that you can use.
Also remember, if a database is produced in the USA, you may need to try using American words or spellings.
Search Methods
Keyword Searching
Keyword searching is the most common method for searching. A Keyword Search searches for the word or words you have typed in. You can use a Keyword search on the different fields that are available in a database, such as Title, Author, or Abstract, if you want to search to be more specific.
Boolean Operators
Nearly all databases and search engines use this method of searching. Boolean operators can be used to link different keywords together. The Boolean Operators are:
AND searching for “domestic and violence” will make a search more specific by only showing references that contain both words.
OR Searching for “domestic or violence” will retrieve records with either the word domestic or the word violence or both words.
NOT searching for “violence not domestic” will result in references containing the word violence but not the word domestic.
Depending upon what you’re searching, symbols can be used instead, so AND becomes +, and NOT becomes –
Natural Language Searching
This is a broad search method. It will search all of the words you enter (excluding certain ‘stop words’ such as a, the, it, to, etc.) in any order, and usually in the entire text of an article or the whole of a web page.
For example: “statistics on child poverty in large American cities”
The disadvantage to natural language searching is that it is often not specific enough. It may give results that are irrelevant, or because the vocabulary is not controlled, it may actually miss out relevant results. Many databases do not have a natural language search facility.

Free internet connection using bluetooth
Use BT for an internet connection (6600)
Well its not as easy as you think. And after learning the way Symbian works for nearly a year now, I still havent figured this one out.
Anyways, heres a link where everything is explained.
http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/mraento/symbian/ bt-ap.html
Ok I found this other guide which is more easy for newbies to follow. I ahvent checked it on my 6600. Will do the testing soon. Those of you on N-gage & 3650 please try too and post a new topic outside this FAQ section about how it is.
[Quote tzeonn]
this will work on most s60 phone I guess! it has been tested on an NGAGE and on N3650!
step 1:
Creating an access point on your phone!
tools\settings\connection\access points\options\new access point>default settings...
these are the settings u need there..
Connection Name : Anything (sugestion ADLS or PCGPRS something u remember well cuz u'll need it later!)
Data Bearer: GPRS
Access Point Name: The name you gave to your bt connection when pairing up with the computer...
Username : None
Password : No
Authentication : Normal
Gateway IP Address : 0.0.0.0
and that's all on this on this part..
then go to:
tools/settings/connection, and select GPRS
set the GPRS connection to "when available", and the access point to "none".
The settings on your fone are done! now... the next step;
Create a serial port connection from ur pc to ur phone (u've done this before if u ever used Pcsuite from nokia), this serial connection must be on everytime you want to use your pc internet connection as a gprs connection for ur phone!!
Install the software u need to surf the web (opera, netfront, agile messenger for chat, etc..)
My advise to you is to use netfront, the options are pretty cool and it uses less memory meaning u can still run other program such as agile at the same time (it crashed my 3650 when I tried to do it with opera)..
Voilá ur ready to use ur phone to surf and chat for free!!
hope this helped you and that is simple and clear!! any question u know where to post, this will be updated if many doubts come up.
ps. works with ngage arena games!!!
Enjoy!
