Life Cycle of a Web RequestViewing a web page is a simple process for a visitor. Just type the URL in a web browser like Internet Explorer or click on a hyper link in any existing web page. The web browser will display the page instantly to you.But do you know that there are several computers involved in this process? Even though it is a very complex process, we can summarize the process as shown below:1. You type the web page address (URL) in a browser. For example, consider the current page http://www.aspspider.com/tutorials.aspx . This URL has 3 parts: The protocol - http: The server name - www.aspspider.com The file name - tutorials.aspx2.

Browser establishes a connection to the web server at that IP Address. Server composes a 'Request' for the specified URL and sends the request to the web server to which it has

1. Louisville, CO Courtesy: Brad Kemp/City of Louisville Top 100 rank: 1  Population: 18,400  Unemployment: 6.3% This sunny, lively mountain town is safe (crime rates are among the lowest in Colorado) and easy to navigate. Lots of good jobs in tech, telecom, aerospace, clean energy, and health care can be found right in Louisville, and more are on their way. And there's world-class mountain biking, hiking, and skiing in the nearby Rockies. Real estate prices have barely budged since 2005, yet a typical three-bedroom house here still runs less than a comparable one in nearby Boulder. Its schools consistently rank among the top three academically in the Denver area.  -Jessica Levine 2.

Ancient Greeks who took their cakes to Artemis placed candles on the cake because it made the cake look as if it was glowing like the moon. The Germans were good candle makers and started to make small candles for their cakes. Some Germans place a big candle in the centre to symbolize the ‘light of life’. Some say that the candles were placed for religious reasons. The candles in the cake represent life, burning brightly for a short time and then snuffed out. The person blowing out the candles is saying, "This much of my life is over -- I'll never get it back, but I still have the breath of life within me and I am in control. I will blow away the past and start anew with this wish." History of birthday celebration starts before the rise of Christianity. In some culture it is believed that on the birthday evil spirit visit .It is belief that by creating so much noise is such parties scarce away the spirits. We blow candles every year when we celebrate our birthday.

Calling COM From T-SQL Introduction If you need to store data or retrieve stored in SQL Server, no second thought is necessary and you will go for T-SQL. However, how can you integrate T-SQL with external applications? For example if you need to integrate SQL Server with Microsoft Exchange Server or MS Word, how are you going to accomplish this? There are seven extended stored procedures to call external applications like DLLs.

The thyroid gland is located in the neck just under the Adam's apple. It produces the hormone thyroxin. This hormone is converted outside of the thyroid gland where it becomes activated and stimulates every one of the trillion cells in the body. Almost all of our systems and functions depend upon receiving adequate amounts of this hormone. The thyroid along with the adrenals is probably the gland most susceptible to the tremendous stress of our fast paced society. It is the thermostat of the body. It produces hormones that work to keep our metabolic rate stable and keep energy-producing processes in balance. The thyroid is essential in protein synthesis, growth, temperature regulation, and oxygen consumption of cells. If the thyroid is depleted or deficient, the rest of the body functions poorly. With low thyroid, cholesterol can shoot up to dangerous levels. Thyroid disease, both hyperactive and under-active, is so extraordinarily prevalent today that even by conservative estima

How quickly will taxpayers get refunds? Following technology improvements, the IRS will issue refunds to more taxpayers in as few as 10 days this year. But taxpayers should keep in mind that many variables can affect the speed of a tax refund. The IRS issues more than 90 percent of refunds within 21 days. Why can’t the IRS tell me the exact date I will get my refund? The IRS reminds taxpayers that refund time frames provided by the " Where's My Refund? " IRS2Go smartphone application (app) and tax providers are projected time frames and are subject to revision. Many different factors can affect the timing of the refund after the IRS receives the return for processing. Also, keep in mind that the date “Where’s My Refund“ provides is the estimated date the IRS will issue the refund, not the date the taxpayer will get the refund. It may take up to five additional days for the financial institution to post the refund to your account, or for mail delivery.
